Li Jinglong is still honest and reliable. After he said this, even if he becomes Fatty Zhu in the future, he must respect Xu Jingchang and not dare to neglect him at all.
Although they are all noble and wealthy families, they are divided into three, six or nine levels.
"Xu Yi, look at our family now, is it the same as before?" Xu Jingchang asked with a smile.
When Xu Yi heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "The Duke of Guo ate the moon cakes. He said that after the King of Zhongshan left, the Xu family showed signs of revival when it was in the hands of the young master. He was ashamed of his ancestors.
"
With that said, Xu Yi took out a roster from his arms and handed it to Xu Jingchang.
"Sir, this is given by the Duke to the old slave. It contains the generals who have left the Xu Mansion over the years. Some of them serve as commanders at the border, and some are supervising troops and suppressing bandits in various provinces. Although their positions are not high.
, but he may be able to use it in the future. Therefore, he gave this list to the young master, hoping that the young master can use it."
Xu Jingchang was startled, then took it in his hand, but did not unfold it. He just smiled with emotion, "It is said that wealthy families have disciples and former officials all over the world. This is probably the case. The uncle has worked hard for this, probably because of this..."
Xu Jingchang held it in his hand and suddenly looked at the small stove next to him, with a teapot sitting on it, and then Xu Jingchang threw the roster into the fire.
Xu Yi was startled and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
It seems that there is still a long way to go before he can turn the General Affairs Department into a real Prime Minister's Office.
"Su Songchang sent the four prefectures of the town to send 1.5 million shi of autumn grain to Beijing, of which 500,000 shi were allocated to Liujiagang and handed over to Zheng He's navy."
"Hahaha!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, "You kid, you are full of bad ideas. But I also have arrangements for the cabinet bachelors to come to the General Affairs Department in shifts. They will serve as counselors for the General Affairs Department when they go out, and they will be cabinet bachelors when they come in. In this way
, both internally and externally, you also have manpower, and I also understand the situation of the court, so we get the best of both worlds."
In just a few days, people felt how terrifying the General Secretary was.
In order to facilitate the discussion of government affairs, Zhu Di also called several cabinet bachelors to personally supervise the affairs in the General Affairs Department.
In the lobby of the General Affairs Department, various government affairs, such as dispatching troops, raising money and food for the people, building roads and ships, and adjusting personnel, all fell to the General Affairs Department.
"Oh, that's not the case. Listen to me, my mother has confessed to me. The only one who can help me now is my cousin Xu Jingchang. He was riding on my back and asked me to be his horse.
After all these years, he should help me. At most, I owe him a huge favor. You take our son there and let this kid get closer to his cousin. His cousin is now a political official.
The envoy holds great power. Let him serve you as your biological father, and we will be able to rely on him."
Fatty Zhu shook his head repeatedly, "I want to do that too, but you still don't know? The second child has long wanted to seize the throne. He was named King of Han, and I have not become the crown prince. If the queen mother had not come to Beijing in time, I am afraid that the overall situation would have been worse.
It's out of control. There is also the third child. He captured Tie Xuan and entered the capital. With these two people here, something might happen in the capital. I'm afraid something will happen."
For example, Songjiang Prefecture has completed 30% of the allocation of grain, but Suzhou has 70% of the progress. The General Affairs Department issued an official document to inquire... A suitable explanation must be given and then sent up as soon as possible. If the task cannot be completed, then I'm sorry, the next step is to impeach.
Zhu Di thought about it seriously and suddenly laughed and said: "If I assign these subordinate officials to you, you will be the real prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, right?"
There is no other way, we must believe in the wisdom of future generations...
Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang and thought again and again, "Well, how many people do you want and do you have a strategy?"
Zhu Gaochi did not have time to go to Beijing. He had to sit in Peiping and be responsible for mobilizing troops and punishing the rebellious king of North Korea. However, Zhu Gaochi had asked his wife Zhang to take his eldest son Zhu Zhanji to head to Yingtian first.
Soon Zhu Di also discovered that instead of waiting for various news in the palace, the best way to know the progress of war preparations was to sit in the lobby of the General Affairs Department and see the progress of each item. If there were serious problems, he could directly issue orders.
Accountability.
Xu Jingchang maximized the authority conveyed from top to bottom by the General Affairs Department.
"The old Xu family has come to an end, and there is no use keeping these things anymore. Whoever comes to our house in the future will act according to the rules. No one can talk to me about old friendships. I won't accept this."
Maybe under Zhu Di, it wouldn't be possible at all.
But in wartime, if you issue an order, you will see results.
It's obvious that you, Mr. Zhu, are also coveting the power of the Chief Secretary, so you sent those acid-minded scholars from the cabinet over.
"Also, the Ministry of Industry supervises the construction of thirty warships, which must be completed within three months."
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, it would be weird to have the best of both worlds!
Xu Yi was startled for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "Old slave, I remember."
Fatty Zhu, when will you come to Beijing?
After saying this, Xu Jingchang went to the General Affairs Department.
Mrs. Zhang said with a bitter face: "As a prostitute, even if something happens, I can't help. Isn't my hard work in vain?"
The General Administration Department issues orders to the outside world and also supervises the progress of local offices.
But when Zhu Di decided to use troops against North Korea, the situation of the entire General Affairs Department suddenly changed.
Xu Jingchang chuckled and said, "If Your Majesty is unwilling, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I just made some negligence. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."
"Order Shandong to overcome all difficulties, recruit 100,000 civilians, transport heavy military equipment, and support the frontline expenses of the army."
At the beginning, he also said that he should prevent the General Secretary from becoming the real prime minister in the future.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you see, there are thirteen Purification Departments under the Ministry of Household Affairs. Each Purification Department has a Langzhong, a Yuanwailang, and a chief... responsible for supervising the finance and taxation of the two capitals. I now supervise six departments to supervise local areas.
Military and civilian affairs, as well as dealing with external affairs of the vassal state...the burden is no less than that of the Ministry of Household Affairs, do you think it is at least higher than the standards of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"This is a preliminary list drawn up by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to enrich officials at all levels in Liaodong and allow them to repair roads in advance."
…
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't welcome you. Now the General Affairs Department has so many things to do and more people. Do you think you can add some more manpower and increase the budget so that I can serve your Majesty better?"
For different government affairs, some are reported every five days, such as shipbuilding. Some are reported every three days, such as the recruitment of civilians. There are also reports once a day, which are the mobilization of soldiers and horses in various places.
The six ministries cannot do it, and even the cabinet cannot do it.
Looking at it now, it is not a problem in the future, but there are signs now.
When you are in it, you can really feel the atmosphere of the country's center.
If it doesn't work, get out of here, and if it doesn't work, I'll get your head out of here.
These matters were sent to the General Administration Department, classified into categories, and hung in the lobby. It is clear at a glance who did well and who did not.
If it were normal, we could still shirk the responsibility through official documents, and the six government offices would also find ways to protect them. In short, it would be easy to discuss.
Xu Jingchang took a deep breath and said, "I have to go to the General Affairs Department. There may be a lot of people looking for me to do things these days. Remember, none of them will be seen. If you can't stop me, leave through the door of Xu's house.
.”
Usually, the Secretary of General Affairs is only responsible for delivering official documents, and at most, following up on the progress of project matters. Although it is already very prominent, it is still a little less meaningful.
I miss you!
"Your Highness, you still have to allocate food, grass and supplies, and the affairs are complicated. Wouldn't it be better to wait until you have nothing to do and then our family can go to Yingtian?"
The master is in charge of this family, so no matter what he does, it is a matter of course.
Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "I said that you are also a big man, and you will use your son to buy everything. It was like this with the father, the emperor and the empress, and it is still the same with Xu Tongzheng. Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
"What an embarrassment! You don't understand what it means to be close to another generation? People say that the eldest grandson and old son are the lifeblood of parents. I, the eldest son, are not welcome, and you, the eldest daughter-in-law, are also scolded. Now my father
The emperor is sitting on the throne, and our family is in the most difficult position."
Mrs. Zhang thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I understand, does your Highness have anything else to explain?"
Zhu Gaochi thought about it seriously, "I only have one sentence, and I will hide it from both sides, so be careful!"
