Dongsheng Dynasty.

In the capital.

Inside the Royal Palace.

The civil and military officials have all dispersed.

But the rest of the people who remained in the temple were familiar faces.

In the eyes of many people, they are just businessmen, a white body, low status, only a little gold, silver and money, just lucky to be appreciated by the emperor, so that they can see the holy face in the palace.

But only Zhuang Ming knows that these people are his real henchmen.

"Gong ...... The Emperor ......"

Bai Lao still can't change his words.

The person above, who is completely different from Gongzi's face and figure, is wearing an imperial robe and an imperial crown.

But this emperor is the son.

"There are no outsiders, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Zhuang Ming got down from the throne, put his hands behind his back, and said: "This time, you have made great contributions to deal with the disaster relief, and I will take this opportunity to give you an official position and enter the household department." ”

Bai Lao hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I and a few others, they are all just business bank managers, how can they take on this responsibility?"

Zhuang Ming patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Bai Lao naturally has this ability, but in the past, he could only let you take care of the business of one territory in the trading house, but now he wants you to manage the business of the entire Dongsheng Dynasty...... In my eyes, the current Hubu Shangshu, although it is not bad, but in terms of management ability, but not as good as you, but he has a good background, in the court for many years, step by step climbed to this position, really to say, he is more outstanding, or the scheming of the open and secret battle above the court. ”

Bai Lao was a little stunned, and said, "I'm afraid that the old slave's ability is limited, and it is difficult to take on this heavy responsibility." ”

Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "In the past, when you were old, you stretched out your hand a little, and the thousands of taels of silver were distributed one by one, developing a commercial house, and developing a business, but now you just let you reach out a little bit and turn the number of thousands of taels of silver into the number of millions of taels of silver, that's all, the practice is still similar." Of course, perhaps the treasury today does not have so many silver taels ......"

In high positions, they may have a talent in one area, which is extremely good, but they are not necessarily all extremely intelligent, and people who are not necessarily in the market are more stupid than them.

Some people are also shrewd and capable, quick-witted, and intelligent, but because of their background, vision, and many other aspects, they can only calculate the gains and losses of one or two taels of silver in the market.

But some people are in a high position because of their background, vision, chance, environment, etc., and with a wave of their hands, they will gain or lose millions of taels of silver, and even determine the life and death of millions of people.

For example, the founding emperor of the Dongsheng Dynasty was just a small person who made straw sandals between the markets, more than half a hundred years old, and he achieved nothing, mediocre, but later the war arose, he took advantage of the situation to gather people's hearts, raised troops to rebel, less than ten years, conquered the eight directions, and established the Dongsheng Dynasty.

Such a person is often limited to his vision by simply missing the current situation or chance, and he has achieved nothing, but it does not mean that he is really incapable.

Another example is this household department book, three generations of officials, his father was originally a second-grade official, relying on his father's blessings, in charge of the household department.

But in Zhuang Ming's eyes, Bai Lao or Fu Lao will not be inferior to him in terms of talent.

It's just that the Zhuang family is too small, and the Dongsheng Dynasty is very large, so it seems that the gap between them is also very large.

In Zhuang Ming's eyes, the gap between the two lies more in "vision" than in "talent".

"After all, you are a businessman, and you want to be directly promoted to the court and occupy a high position, so an exceptional promotion is unprecedented, and it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of civil and military officials, but now I am the lord of the Dongsheng Dynasty. ”

Zhuang Ming said: "It is not difficult to subdue them, and then not only you, but also Yue Yang and the others, as well as many guards in the trading house, will be included in the army...... As long as you have the ability to do this, there will naturally be corresponding positions. ”

With his hands on his back, he had already prepared to completely integrate the Zhuang family into the Dongsheng Dynasty.

And the business of Zhuang's firm will also become the business of the official family.

For him, the people of Zhuang's firm are his real roots.

The high-level figure of Zhuang's firm, in his heart, has about a count, how to arrange positions, how to give corresponding power, and also have a confidence.

Of course, now that the entire Dongsheng Dynasty is in his hands, it is not possible to completely replace the civil and military officials with the people of the Zhuang firm.

If you really want to promote the old people, you must also have the corresponding talents.

And these days, above the court, he has also found many shrewd and capable officials, who can indeed be entrusted with important tasks.

"But there is another aspect, which can be called extremely serious, and it is no longer comparable to the business bank, and it must be solved before it can be ......"

Zhuang Ming thought like this, and said secretly: "The reason why the treasury of the Dongsheng Dynasty is almost empty is that these people have corrupted the foundation of the dynasty, and even in this disaster relief, there are many people who are greedy and blind to their consciences, and they have cut a batch, but they still can't deter people's hearts." ”

The creatures of the world, if they have wisdom in their hearts, they will naturally have selfish hearts.

It's just that some people can be honest and honest when righteousness overcomes selfishness.

But there are very few people who can do this through the ages.

Nowadays, scholars from all over the world are participating in scientific examinations, and there are many of them who have strong ambitions and want to revitalize the Dongsheng Dynasty, they are full of enthusiasm and justice, but who can persist in their lives?

In the future, he will really be in a high position.

Countless monetary interests, countless beauties and beauties, like a wave, are constantly driven by the forces of all parties, approaching them, how many of them can not change their original intentions, but remain honest and honest, and not moved?

"In the past, there were ways to deal with all the greedy people, but it was not enough to manage this Dongsheng Dynasty. ”

Zhuang Ming thought like this, looked at the vast sea, and said in a low voice: "I still lack a person, a person with a pure heart, who can patrol the eight directions for me, let officials everywhere, and maintain integrity and integrity." ”

——

"Ahead is Jusheng Mountain?"

"Within the Eastern Continent, cultivators from all walks of life dare not mention the forbidden land?"

"It is rumored in the world that once you set foot on it, you will definitely die. ”

Chen Feiyun thought like this, lowered his head, and looked at the bottle of pills.

This is the Continuation of the Heavenly Pill, and there are four of them.

One of the ten great elixirs of Taiyuan Sect.

As long as he understands the first seal of the True Xuan and takes a Continuation Heaven Pill, he can immediately try to condense the seal of the True Xuan.

Even in today's world, the great cultivators of the True Xuan Eight Seals are afraid that they can't turn a blind eye to such an elixir.

But Zhuang Ming handed over this elixir to him and did not hide it.

With such a precious elixir, Zhuang Ming was not afraid that he would be greedy and fled?

Chen Feiyun laughed at himself and said, "Is he too naïve and credulous? Or do you think that I don't dare to escape with the Continuation Heavenly Pill? Is it still that you don't suspect people, don't use suspicious people, do you really have the courage to believe in me like this?"

He read like this, gave a salute, and said: "The junior Chen Feiyun, who is acquainted with Tang Tianying and the thirteenth true legend Zhuang Ming of your sect, was ordered to come today to send the Heavenly Pill to the blessed land of the Holy Mountain. ”

After finishing speaking, with some apprehensive thoughts, he set foot on the land of Jusheng Mountain.

However, no legendary sword light flew over to slash him.

Chen Feiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued to move forward, only to know that this place, called Huai'an, is located, a total of 16 prefectures.
