The New Year's Festival passed quickly in a busy way, and after the excitement of the Lantern Festival, the whole city started a busy year again.

A cold winter day ushered in the warm sun, although it is still accompanied by the wind that scrapes the bones, people still feel happy for this, wearing new clothes on the New Year's Day to go out to sell vegetables and visit the door, see it or smile and say good New Year.

The children who received the newspapers from the newspaper office shouted enthusiastically on the street, "Read the newspaper and read the newspaper, the first issue of the new year, the emperor personally wrote a New Year's message to encourage you." ”

"The new initiative of this dynasty was the formal establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, and the sixth son of the emperor, King Annam, was the first secretary of the Ministry of Commerce."

"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper... New Year's First Bulletin..."

The people who heard the shouting were all interested, and they all took out the copper plates, "Children who sell newspapers, come to a newspaper." ”

"Give me a copy too."

"I have memorized the words written by the emperor to everyone in the Chinese New Year's Eve, which is simply blood-pumping, and this is a New Year's message, not to be missed."

The next time is that people in the streets and alleys gather around to read the newspaper in the aftertaste of the New Year, and those who can't read and write will read it to others, and they are very excited.

I feel that there is no more wise monarch in the world than their emperor.

At the same time, the civil and military officials above the court are also very excited, although today is the first official opening of the court after the New Year, but they have been working since the eighth day of the new year, the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce in this dynasty, they have not received any news, it is really surprising.

only looked at the indifferent expressions of a few important ministers, and guessed that the emperor should have discussed it with them.

With the merger of half of Beixiang, the household department was changed from the original twelve divisions to nineteen divisions, and seven new divisions were added to be responsible for the related affairs of Beixiang, and the household department was expanded from 280 to 360 people. ”

"Nowadays, the affairs of the household department are becoming more and more complicated, the place where the court spends money is increasing day by day, and the tax and silver are limited after all, and the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is to enrich the treasury and make the whole place run more smoothly."

"The duty of the Ministry of Commerce is to formulate regulations that are conducive to increasing the income of the treasury according to the current situation in the eastern hub, to monitor private commerce and trade, to stabilize prices, etc., and to look at the whole dynasty, and there is no one more suitable for this position than the king of Annam."

"I have written to King Annam, and ordered him to rush back to Kyoto to prepare for the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, and the King of Annam is solely responsible for all matters involved."

The emperor's words are very clear, to put it bluntly: the country is bigger, there are more places to spend money, you can't just rely on taxes, you have to generate income, when it comes to making money, there is no one more suitable than the king of Annam, and I have already called people back, don't think about meddleling.

The meaning is very clear, Hua Jingyun will be the money bag of the imperial court in the future.

Thinking that the money bags of the imperial court would fall into the hands of Hua Jingyun in the future, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Na called a man with different thoughts.

Those officials who had long wanted to let Hua Jingyun enter the court were crazy, shouting that the emperor was wise, and then praised Hua Jingyun all the time.

The vast majority of the generals also shouted the emperor Shenwu, and some of them were clerical people, in the hearts of these generals, the king of Annan had been the son-in-law of the general for more than a year and did not enter the court, so it was no wonder that people were worried.

It's better for someone to sit in a big seat than someone else, right?

There are also some protégés of General Zhang, who still expect Hua Jingyun to have a chance, and they all have a scale in their hearts.

The rest are a few supporters of the prince, although these people look as usual, they feel that they are in danger, but it is a pity that the emperor has done everything, and the wood is already in the boat, they jumped out at this time and said that it was not appropriate, but they were afraid that they would anger the emperor.

There are people who are not afraid of death who stood up, "Your Majesty, the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is beneficial to the country, but the king of Annan has never walked in the court and has no experience, do you consider choosing another candidate?" ”

As soon as these words came out, someone jumped out, "Lord Liu's words are wrong, the Ministry of Commerce is a newly established yamen, everything is new, no one dares to say that he has experience, but when it comes to business and understanding of merchants, there is no more suitable person than King Annan." ”

Immediately, someone came to echo him, "What Lord Wei said is very true, not to mention anything else, the shopkeeper under the King of Annan can make a profit of more than 500,000 taels when he goes to sea twice, if there is the support of the government decree and the court, will it be able to far exceed this number?" ”

"Weichen also thinks that there is no one more suitable than King Annan."

These people are ready to fight a war of words and reach the peak of their state, and they can't wait to jump out a few people to let them play, if you want to say that the emperor knows his son best, he will hit the key point as soon as he comes, with the king of Annan in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, I am afraid that it will be easier for the ministries to ask for money in the future.

I hope that King Annan will come back as soon as he puts on his wings.

Hua Jingsheng had mixed feelings in his heart, as the emperor's son, they didn't know when their Lao Tzu had this idea, and they were really caught off guard at once, at this time, except for the sixth child on the way, they could only try to win him over.

If you want the result, the sixth is afraid that you can't, but you are afraid that the sixth will have an accident on the front foot and their good days will come to an end, how to get a piece of the pie in the hands of the sixth child?

Sad!

The mood fell to a low point in an instant.

The next topic cheered up everyone, and the selection of people to go to Beixiang had to be decided as soon as possible, especially the candidate for the prime minister could not be decided for a long time, and everyone was fighting.

Hua Jingsheng didn't speak, in fact, it was the most appropriate for him to go, but he was afraid that he would lose the power he had built up in Kyoto, and he would be even more sad.

At this moment, Yuantai, the reunited stewards are all excited and red-faced, their prince is the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, and he will be in charge of merchants in the future, as a follower of the prince and a loyal old man, are you afraid that there will be no good life in the future?

They are honored at this moment.

Seeing that they were all eager to try, Wen Mianmian smiled, "Okay, everyone is happy about this, just do what you need to do next, and wait for your prince to come back." ”

"The people below should also be advised, be stable at the critical moment, don't cause any trouble for your prince at this time, if you let this princess know who is floating, the money steward is still waiting for him to accompany him in the cell."

The stewards immediately shrunk their necks, hurriedly gave up their hands, and soon dispersed.

Ren Zhihui and Steward Wei were left behind, and she always had to pay more attention to the things on the accounts.

waited for Wen Mianmian to finish the business before he spoke, "Counting it, you are all people in the house, and you can be regarded as having a grade on your body, this time your prince is the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, which sounds very beautiful, but the current Ministry of Commerce is just a light commander, and there is nothing." ”

"What I mean, since this matter is a foregone conclusion, it must be done well, and we must show results before the end of the year, otherwise we will not be able to silence the mouths of those people in the DPRK and China."
