Chapter 292
Guangsha
The money law was finally passed smoothly, but the period was a little twists and turns. There was no way to do anything about it. The Tang Dynasty's three provinces and six ministries system was relatively sound at this time, and it was indeed a bit tortuous and troublesome to implement a more important decree.
After the government orders, Xue Chongxun became a little busy. Of course, he didn't need to do most of the things himself, let alone do them. However, even if the outline is carried out, it is very complicated. After all, a person only has twelve hours a day, so he can't be busy all the time. He has to eat and rest.
There are only three things that Xue Chongxun must make his own ideas: first, laws; second, personnel; third, layout.
No matter what you do, you have to have a rule. Even the business has a rule recognized by everyone; and the Ministry of Revenue Qianxing, an organization under the imperial government, needs explicitly stipulated laws so that everyone can follow the standards. How to reward and punish, the distribution of powers between branches and departments, etc.
The staff each put forward various legal suggestions. Xue Chongxun and Wang Changling screened reasonable and feasible items into items, and decided on the decision. After all, this is a major matter he handled. If he was prepared, he would be very troublesome to make a temporary correction if something went wrong in the future.
Then a very important thing is personnel arrangements. Xue Chongxun has now collected a lot of talents who can be competent for positions such as clerks, all of whom are literate... If people who don’t know their words, how can they be embarrassed to be a disciple in other people’s houses? As for attracting those illiterate but very brave people, it is the work of the Flying Tiger Group in the Western Prince Kingdom, and it is not related to the affairs of the staff group here.
However, Xue Chongxun was not familiar with the ***s under his command, and he didn't know who had any special talents, so he had to look through the files that recorded their qualifications, which were equivalent to archives. The Ministry of Personnel of the court also had such files, which recorded the three generations of officials in office. In ancient China, it was not a boast. As early as the Qin Dynasty, there were bamboo slips that counted the household registration of the world... Those who worked hard to govern people, and those who worked hard to govern people, and the world had a deep study of the means of rule. At that time, the Tang Dynasty, all systems were relatively reasonable and advanced at this time.
When Xue Chongxun looked through the files and listened to personnel opinions, he was considering the third thing: layout. How to operate the money bank of the Ministry of Revenue, he had to arrange some branches. What kind of people are needed and how many people are needed, and the personnel and layout arrangements are also closely related to the layout.
Everyone is recommending each other for any position. At this time, the method of appointing talents is nothing more than recommendations, and the exam is two types. The superiors cannot understand so many people, so they need people with good moral qualities to recommend them.
Xue Chongxun, sitting in the north, was holding a brush in one hand and flipping through the files on the desk with the other hand, and listened to the officials in the hall expressing their opinions very seriously. He rarely spoke, occasionally just said a few short words in a low voice.
"What Mr. Fang said is not bad with the file records. I think it is good to ask him to try the account storekeeper in Dongshi first."
"Very good, we are short of such people."
"This person cannot be used. I've given him money and let him go home. My intention is determined!"
While listening to the recommendation, he marked the list and occasionally said a few words. The one who talked endlessly was not the people above, but the staff below. The atmosphere in the living room was very lively.
Xue Chongxun was very efficient when dealing with the matter and said little, but when everyone encountered differences in discussions, he was always able to make a decision and decide the result in an unquestionable tone... Although his decision was not completely reasonable, not all decisions were convinced; but his identity as a prince was there, and he understood that he was the boss of everyone, and no one had the right to compete with him, so he had the final say. Fortunately, Xue Chongxun was not the kind of foolish person who was helpless, and most of the decisions were considered reasonable.
He is actually a very arrogant person. He is often self-centered and needs others to give in to him. However, this kind of temperament is not entirely a disadvantage, because everyone often needs such a ***, decisive and able to take responsibility to make a decision, otherwise it will be easy to argue.
Soon, a drum sound came from outside, which was the time-reporting drum in Chang'an City. Everyone looked at the sky outside and guessed that the drum sound was the hour of You. At this moment, it was time for all the yamen in the capital to disperse.
Xue Chongxun stood up and said, "That's all for today, it's over."
"I'm leaving." Everyone hurriedly got up, bowed and bowed, and said etiquette in a mess. Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun had already walked off the seat and left straight through the side door... Everyone was a knowledgeable person who knew books and etiquette, and paid great attention to etiquette. Xue Chongxun's simplicity seemed very rude, and many people felt a little uncomfortable.
However, he is a prince, so it is natural that he is not very polite to others, and everyone doesn't care about it. Moreover, people who are familiar with Wang Changling and others like him, they like his "rudeness" and feel relaxed and natural.
Xue Chongxun walked out of the hall where the room was covered with the inverted room in the front yard, called Wang Changling over and said privately: "Once the money store is opened, as soon as the banknote is issued, there should be many people who do not trust in taking the banknotes to exchange for gold, silver and silk. If there are only money houses in the east and west cities, I don't know how long it will be for the quick realization of banknote credit. So I think in addition to the head office and the three yamen in the east and west cities, there must be other semicolons, and all major towns in the fifteenth road in the world must have semicolons."
Wang Changling said: "We wrote this matter yesterday, and the lord should not be able to read it. In addition to opening a semicolon, we can also cooperate with merchants and money shops. In order to facilitate implementation, we will issue a government order to continue: the money shop must operate banknote exchange, and then exchange it with the money shops of the Ministry of Revenue. In this way, we will save a lot of trouble. We just need to record the names of the money shops in various places. Cooperate with merchants, so we do not need to come forward to exchange with the people."
Xue Chongxun hurriedly took out the booklet and brush, licked the pen in his mouth, and said while writing: "This method is good, but there must be a regulatory branch to supervise the exchange of merchants and money shops, so as not to privately increase the 'fire consumption' to make profits. How can we burn the pockets of our merchants with credit, and how can we do this? In the formulation of laws, we must also consider the rewards and punishments of merchants and money shops."
"What the lord said is very true." Wang Changling agreed.
Xue Chongxun said: "I really started working, but I realized that the scene had to be so big... There is a bit of a tricky problem, we lack people."
Wang Changling said: "The general account, east and west cities, semicolons, and coin yamen, and supervisory yamen, of course, there are many people, but we don't have too many people to arrange them by ourselves. Just like the imperial court system, the world is so big, with thousands of officials, how can the emperor and the ministers of the government affairs hall manage so many people? Everyone only needs to appoint officials from three provinces and six ministries, and at most to the prefecture and county chiefs, other small officials and clerks, etc., there are no need to be managed in the court, and they will be managed by their superiors. The same can be done for our Ministry of Revenue. The lord appointed the general account, the shopkeepers of the east and west cities, and the personnel below. We only need to declare the rules."
Xue Chongxun frowned and stamped a few steps, "Everyone was very excited in the hall just now, but how many people are really able to stand alone? It's really not reliable to let me trust them in a few people."
Wang Changling was speechless. Perhaps he was unwilling to say bad things about his staff and servants.
Xue Chongxun pondered. In fact, as early as in Shanzhou, he found that the officer group model of the Flying Tiger Regiment was very good, and he also wanted to establish a civilian institution similar to the Flying Tiger Regiment. However, the conditions and strength at that time were limited, and he could not find any reasonable names, so he could only use the name of the disciple. However, he felt that the disciple organization was too loose, and it would be great if a department similar to a school could establish a department to provide talent reserves.
He thought for a long time and asked casually: "The prince's country is on the west side, and whose house is on the east side?"
Wang Changling said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't pay attention on weekdays, but the lord suddenly asked if he really didn't know. If he didn't ask Xue Liu, he should know."
"Xue Liu..." Xue Chongxun smiled faintly. The power of the housekeeper had been almost divided by Sun's family. "So, let's go out and have a look." After saying that, he called a servant to the inner house and invited Sun to the outside. The acquisition of the mansion must be done by Sun's family now.
So Xue Chongxun walked out of the gate with Wang Changling. Outside the gate of the King of Jin Mansion was Anyifang North Street, which was the largest street in Anyifang. Those who live here were either rich or noble, either as officials in the court or the assets of aristocratic families in the capital.
However, those so-called wealth or honor are incomparable to the prince. In fact, most of the princes live near Taiji Palace in Daming Palace, and Xingqingfang, and enter the Yuanfang. Xue Chongxun was the Duke of Wei in Taichang, but he lived here quite well. Later, he was not willing to move, but later he was appointed as the king but was unwilling to move. This made the people nearby suffer. He occupied a place to send Wang Changling to the last time. Now the prince's kingdom was built on the North Street, occupying a small part of the territory here. Xue Chongxun wanted to seize land and could not tolerate them to resist, because he was a person who was walking around the center of the power of the court. No matter how rich the people on the outside were, they were still scumbag in front of him. Whoever had the right had the final say.
Xue Chongxun stood on the street and looked at the house on the east side. Next to the royal palace was a villa that had been merged by the Xue palace. One side was indeed a courtyard with a rich family, which was well-built. It seemed that the owner was mostly an official from the court.
After a while, Sun also came out with two maids. Her dignified and graceful manners, and she spoke calmly and appropriately, which was completely different from her panic in the study a few days ago.
Xue Chongxun pointed to the east and said, "I want the house to be useful. The adults come forward to negotiate to buy it. If the money is not enough, write an IOU. I will print it to him in the future."
Seeing that the house was wide and deep, it must have cost a lot, Sun asked, "What is Xue Lang buying it for?"
Xue Chongxun showed his inspiration and said with a smile: "How can you have thousands of buildings to shelter all the poor people in the world to be happy! The wind and rain are as peaceful as a mountain!"
