Han Sheng has the talent for governing the country, but unfortunately he has been a staff member all his life and a shadow politician of the late emperor. Although his status in the court is not low, middle and lower-level officials have no way to recognize him. Liu Yu also feels sorry that Han Sheng cannot be entrusted to be used by him, otherwise there will be no dispute between the left and right ministers, and Han Sheng will directly lead the overall situation. Liu Yu is worried that as a general, he will leave Chang'an City one day, and he needs such a person who can control the overall situation to help Su Yan.

Qian Hui and the whereabouts of King Chu have been completely cut off. Yang Lie worked for half a month, but the final result was to return in vain. But it was not a single gain. Yang Lie seemed at ease in commanding the Imperial Guards everywhere, but unfortunately he was still slightly inferior in front of the King of Huai. An intelligence battle ended with the failure of the Imperial Guards.

"Let's rest for two days first, and you will have something to do later." Liu Yu looked at the exhausted Yang Lie and comforted him.

Liu Yu was about to officially start selling official positions and titles with the merchants. All the construction activities of the Trade Department were only waiting for the final decision.

Yang Lie said: "Teacher Liu, my subordinates have learned in the past few days that the forces of several vassal kings in the south are secretly dispatching troops, and it seems that they are interested in supporting Guan Nan's rebellion. There are also many unidentified people in this rebellion to provide guidance. Do you think we should focus on dealing with it?"

Liu Yu had known this news since the first day of the rebellion. Although the imperial court now has troops stationed outside the city, there was insufficient baggage and supplies. Therefore, Liu Yu only arranged for the Dongshui Camp to depot as a deterrent, hoping that those refugees could restrain themselves after meeting the official army of the capital. The rebellion is still in its inception, which is to loot, and it has not really occupied the mountains and became kings or brought up the banner of some people. The rebels from all walks of life have not been twisted together. Dividing and disintegrating is Liu Yu's current good choice.

"I have a sense of some things."

Liu Yu said goodbye to Yang Lie. In Yang Lie's opinion, if there is a rebellion, he should be suppressed quickly. Liu Yu's ambiguous attitude puzzled him.

In fact, Liu Yu also wanted to mobilize a large army to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop. But now if there is no food and grass supply, if there is no war, the combat effectiveness of the regular army may be worse than that of the rebellious refugees. Besides, Liu Yu did not want to vent the garrisons of Chang'an City because of a rebellion, so it is likely to be taken advantage of by some forces. "It is better to be pacified than to be a ruthless person". His soft attitude can indeed allow local refugees to see the sincerity of the imperial court to quell the rebellion. If it weren't for the drought that was unkind before, the rich people would not have taken a dead end to the court.

The family was unstable and the backyard was still on fire. Liu Yu now felt like a parent, and he had to take care of everything, which made him feel tired. He is now preparing to take the prerequisite for a parent to control the finances of his family.

Department of Works.

The merchants entered the house for the first time and although they were still worried that the court was just trying to make their wealth, after the sale of officials began, they seemed to have put all their worries behind them.

I was almost squeezing for an official position.

Although the court sold some idle officials this time, those officials were also Beijing officials after all. When they were in Chang'an City and could get the status of an official, merchants were not afraid of being bullied in various ways.

Businessmen seek profit and know how to exchange interests. They also understand that there is no free lunch in the world.

As a result, an ordinary official from the Ministry of Justice offered a price of 60,000 taels, while some officials in the Ministry of Revenue were even more than 100,000 yuan. In the end, the officials seemed to be no longer too enthusiastic in the most important positions of the Trade and Trade Department. Perhaps they were still not sure of the intention of the court to open a Trade and Trade Department, and they did not show much enthusiasm in bidding.

A deputy supervisor of a trade department needs to donate 75,000 taels of silver. A total of six seats are set up.

The Shaojian of the Trade Department was won by the Sui family without any surprise, and Sui Yu offered 120,000 taels. This also means that the general manager of the Chang'an City Chamber of Commerce will be the young daughter of the Sui family, who is as good as a man.

If the merchants who bought idle officials knew the authority of the minor prison afterwards, they would definitely regret not spending more money on this today. The decision of the Trade Department would serve as the standard and principle of business in Chang'an City and the entire Dashun Dynasty, and their status in the court was even above the Six Ministry.

In one day, the sales of officials raised a total of 2.4 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the tax income of the Dashun court in three months in a prosperous year. More importantly, the commercial tax determined by the Trade and Trade Department will continue to bring benefits to the court in the future. In the current Dashun Dynasty, where handicrafts and commerce are booming, the total amount of this income will gradually move closer to the agricultural tax income.

Looking at the list submitted by Liu Yu, Su Yan opened his mouth for a long time and didn't close it. He originally thought that selling official positions would be almost done, but he didn't expect to get so much money at once. The difficulties of the imperial court over the past few months were equivalent to solving them at one time.

"Master... this is a lot of money. It's great to have money." Su Yan sighed with emotion, smiled on his face, looking very happy.

"This money must be used in a reasonable mechanism and cannot be directly allocated to the Ministry of Revenue. I am afraid that the steel cannot be used on the edge. I suggest that we directly establish a manager's yamen in the Commerce Department, which is not affiliated with any department, and will be directly responsible to you." Liu Yu said.

Su Yan didn't quite understand what Liu Yu meant and asked, "Master, is this manager's yamen in the commerce department just opened in the commerce department? Those merchants are responsible?"

"No, the Trade Department is the Trade Department, the Manager Yamen is the Manager Yamen, and the person in charge of the Manager Yamen must be the person you trust the most. The income and expenses of this yamen must also be approved by you. In terms of cost, it mainly deals with unexpected expenses, such as drought and war."

Su Yan looked down and seemed to understand that the manager's yamen of the Trade Department was similar to the yamen that reserved money. Originally, the income from the Trade Department was extra income, which could reduce the pressure of the Ministry of Revenue on the one hand, and the most important thing was to allow the emperor to have a sum of money in his own hands, so that he would not be afraid of his head and be subject to the financial crisis of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Master, then you should be responsible for the yamen of the Trade Department." Su Yan said after thinking about it, "Now there are no other trustworthy people around me, and there is still so much money at once. What if those corruption that is not open is misappropriated?"

"I have a candidate, I don't know if it works."

Liu Yu pretended to be mysterious, wrote a person's name on the paper and handed it to Su Yan. Su Yan looked up and said in surprise: "Are you talking about Mr. Han?"

"It's him." Liu Yu said, "I think you also know his status in the palace when the late emperor was still alive. With his ability, he will definitely be able to manage the money well, and be as close as the emperor can reach and what the emperor thinks. No one is more suitable for this job now."

Su Yan seemed to think, "Yes, Mr. Han is also very good. I remember one time, I went to the master to borrow money. He gave me five taels of silver, but I haven't paid it yet."

Liu Yu smiled indifferently. In fact, Han Sheng helped Su Yan more than this. At that time, the old emperor was afraid that Su Yan would starve to death on the street, so he asked Han Sheng to help him secretly. Su Yan could only stay in the market for many years. When he was hungry, kind-hearted stall owners gave food, and when he had no money, the landlord often reduced the rent. He often won more than a dozen games in the gambling stage in a strange way. If Han Sheng had not been able to starve to death on the street with his slutty personality, he would not have waited for the appearance of Liu Yu, the great savior.

Han Sheng was able to take charge of the Manager's Yamen of the Trade Department, which was also one of Liu Yu's plans. All the rules and regulations of the court originated from the word "money", and the Ministry of Revenue was also the cornerstone of the Six Ministry and even the Dashun court. Now Han Sheng took charge of the Manager's Yamen of the Trade Department, which was equivalent to becoming a prime minister without an official position. The emperor could only ask for help from big and small matters. In the eyes of outsiders, everything was in line with the law.

With money, he had the right to speak in the court. Although the Shaoqing official in the Management Yamen of the Commerce Department was only a third-rank official, because he was only responsible to the emperor, he would sooner or later be the most important minister.

This is just a temporary method and a temporary solution that Liu Yu thought of to balance the power of civil officials. If the threat from the vassal kings is eliminated in the future and the emperor completely controls the overall situation, the manager's yamen of the Trade Department must not exist. Dividing power can indeed allow court officials to check and balance each other in an orderly competitive environment to a certain extent, but in the long run, it will form party conquests, which is not conducive to the stability of the court.

When Liu Yu notified Han Sheng of the results of his discussion with Su Yan, Han Sheng said with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Liu, you are forcibly pressing your head without drinking water. Didn't you say that? I am no longer interested in the officialdom, so why bother with me?"

Liu Yu sighed, "Brother Han, you are not in the court bureau and don't know the complexity of the court bureau. Now there is no trustworthy person around the new emperor and me. If you get the money for the official position, you are afraid that you will be eaten by those worms and useless. Brother Han might as well help the emperor once, and also help me, take care of the money, and do your part for the Dashun Dynasty."

Han Sheng looked far away with a wry smile. It would be impossible to say that he had no attachment to the court, but with his decayed body that was about to be buried, he had long felt like a waste. The first emperor entrusted it to the throne. When the new emperor ascended the throne, it was also the time for him to abdicate and give way to the wise. Now, although Liu Yu had arranged an errand for him without his consent, he did not mind, and even felt that Liu Yu was not the kind of ungrateful person who would consider him as an old man.

"How do you plan to use the money from the yamen of the Trade Department Manager?" Han Sheng asked suddenly.

Liu Yu smiled on his face. Han Sheng said this to be the same as he fulfilled the job. From now on, he and Han Sheng will be considered as ministers.

"The current priority is to provide disaster relief and rebellion. Fires in the backyard must not spread outside the backyard. The entire Dashun Dynasty's family business is based on Guanzhong. Only when the family is stable can you have the heart to go out of the outside world."

Han rose. Indeed, the forbearance of King Huai and the vassal kings has reached its limit. In this turbulent and turbulent autumn, if the backyard fires again, this business will be difficult to preserve. To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
