"What? Isn't it possible?" He told Yan Fu what he was thinking because he wanted to hear his suggestions. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he looked sideways and said, "You have an opinion?"
When Emperor Qianwen looked at him like this, Yan Fu couldn't help but trembled, and then hurriedly echoed, "Your Majesty is wise and loyal to the country. With the ability of Duke Zhongguo, it is natural for him to be an official and make his own contribution to the country and the people." thing."
"Well, even if that's the case, what kind of official position should be given to him?" Yan Fu also agreed, which made Emperor Qianwen feel that this idea was correct.
Yan Fu just wanted to keep his thoughts consistent with the emperor's. How could he know what official position was suitable for Shen Ao? But now that the emperor asked, he had to answer, "Your Majesty, as a slave, Zhongguo is engaged in business. At the same time, He is also extremely talented and can be employed in both the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites."
Emperor Qianwen did not speak immediately, but was thinking about the feasibility of the matter. His brows were deeply furrowed and relaxed, then deeply wrinkled and then relaxed again. After a while, he said: "Forget it from the Ministry of Rites, he is originally an unruly person." People, you can go there without getting sick. Go to the Ministry of Finance. The head of the Ministry of Finance, Jiang Dai, has always behaved quite well and has been an official for many years. This time Ji Cai was taken down. He can also be promoted to any level. Right Minister of the Household Department, the vacant position will be taken over by Duke Zhongguo."
Such an appointment is entirely based on Shen Ao's perfect performance in business. He is in charge of the financial department, which is actually in charge of the purse of the household department. Such a person must be someone who must be trusted extremely. Shen Ao But for my own son, who else is more reassuring than my own family?
"Your Majesty, Sheng Ming." Yan Fu on the side quickly flattered him, as if Emperor Qianwen had chosen the right person.
"Well, let's settle it like this. After killing Xia Youran and others everywhere, let's announce the decree." Emperor Qianwen settled a major matter, and he relaxed and said in a good mood.
However, Shen Ao of Guochanglong didn't know about this, let alone that he was about to be granted real power. At this time, he was still planning for the development of Daqian Bank.
Now that the enemy prince has fallen, he will no longer have so many constraints on what he can do next, and there will be a lot less resistance to what he wants to do. This is the time when he should do things quickly and move forward. Especially when Zhuyun comes. Guo Changlong replied that his request had been granted by the emperor. A total of more than 4,000 family members of the guilty ministers had been sent to the military camp in the south of the city. He also asked Duke Zhongguo to go and screen to see who and how many people needed to be kept. At this time, Shen Ao excitedly agreed that this was a good opportunity to strengthen his strength. If he was not willing to wait any longer, he got on the bullock cart. Of course, Xue Fei had to follow.
Seeing Xue Fei and himself getting into the bullock cart, and smelling the faint fragrance, Shen Ao suddenly felt that the bullock cart that he originally hated was not so annoying, but actually liked it a little bit. environment.
The space inside the bullock cart is not very big, especially when the road is bumpy. If you are not careful, the bodies of Shen Ao and Xue Fei will touch lightly, that kind of feeling that is not there, but seems to be touching. It gave Shen Ao a feeling of relief.
Xuefei kept blushing, and would turn her head to the side from time to time. She didn't know if she was angry, or if she didn't hate this feeling, but just couldn't accept it for a while.
The journey originally took more than half an hour. Normally, Shen Ao would find it boring, but today, he wished he could walk a little slower. If it weren't for his insufficient understanding of beast language, he would not be able to drive. For such a huge beast as a cow, the scalper might have been ordered to slow down.
The military camp in the south of the city originally housed 4,000 Jin troops who laid down their weapons. Now it has become the place where the families of 4,000 criminals were imprisoned. By the time Shen Ao arrived here, the place was already bustling with people, most of whom were Cries and whimpering.
Their masters suddenly fell from the high heavens to the clouds and became sinners. As their family members or slaves, they suddenly lost their backbone, and it was like they lost the hope and goal of living. For a while, they didn’t know what their fate would be. Many of them didn’t know their fate. Everyone burst into tears. It seemed that this was the only way to express their fear and fear.
When Shen Ao arrived here, he saw this scene. Seeing that many of the young women were already crying, Shen Ao could only sigh. They were just born in the wrong fetus and were not lucky. That's fine, but it's really unfair to have to go through this kind of experience and even end up worse than death.
However, Shen Ao cannot help everyone. Not everyone is useful, and not everyone is willing to be saved by him. For example, those wives, concubines and direct children of the guilty ministers, who knows what they will do? If you save them without resentment, not only will you not gain loyalty, but you may do bad things at any time. This is not what Shen Ao wants.
Shen Ao has never been a good person. He is also used to seeing the fate of many people who have been good people but have not received good rewards.
Shen Ao even disdained good people from the bottom of his heart. This time he came here to find some useful people, those who wanted to save themselves but had no way.
The eldest princess was waiting for Shen Ao's arrival. Although it was less than three hours ago, when they met again, the eldest princess still looked at Shen Ao a few more times. Not for any other reason, but because of Shen Ao's The request was actually agreed to by the imperial brother without hesitation. Based on this, she became even more curious about Shen Ao.
Shen Ao's eyes had already been set on these four thousand sinners. At a glance, at least 70% of them were between the ages of fifteen and forty, and the rest were children and the elderly.
In the Daqian Dynasty, many people were poor, and medical skills were not developed, and they only served the rich. Even among the rich, not everyone could afford medical treatment, and some had lost their use value. Once the elderly get sick, they have no choice but to seek blessings and hope to use their own immunity to withstand the disaster.
This makes the Daqian Dynasty, including the nearby foreign countries, people who are over fifty years old can be called old people, and those who are over fifty-five years old can be considered long-lived. Just like Shen Ao saw, people over fifty-five years old There are very few long-lived old people. In this case, it would be helpful for him to choose people. After all, most of them are young and middle-aged people. Such people can still create some value if they are not lazy and are willing to work hard.
These are slaves who don't have to spend money to buy, and most of them are literate. After all, they are from the important ministers' family and have learned a lot, but they are not easy to buy with money. Shen Ao has decided that, except for those die-hards, Those who don't repent and admit their mistakes will take all the others. Anyway, they are not short of money, so there is no problem for the Duke Zhongguo's government to support more people.
"Tell them that those who want to be reborn can stand on the east side, but they have a three-year observation period. During this period, if they are found to have misbehaved or are mentally passive, they will not only be turned into slaves again, but they will also be turned into slaves again. They may even be executed directly. Of course, if they behave well, they can still be guaranteed to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and even a good future." Shen Ao looked at the female officer Zhu Yun beside him and said the selection requirements. .
As Shen Ao considered, there were more than 4,000 sinners, and more than 1,000 of them did not even meet the most basic conditions for rebirth. Part of this was because they were loyal to their original masters, and in line with the principle of loyalty, they would not serve the second master. I don’t want to serve others with my ideas.
There are still a large number of people who want to die, including the immediate family members of the criminal. But for all such people, the eldest princess directly stepped forward to send them back. She did not believe that these people would not hold grudges, and in the spirit of being young and being serious. These immediate family members were screened out by the eldest princess because they were arrogant and had trouble-making ideas.
There are about three thousand people left, and 70% of them are strong men who guard the courtyard. These people work for the money, but because they have no way out, the contract of selling themselves out falls into the hands of the guilty minister, so this time they also suffered. In this way. The person's original culpability was not serious, and it only needed to be redistributed, and he could be in charge of food and drink so that he could be used by Daqian Bank.
There are less than a thousand people left. They are all maids and some old ladies from various houses. There are also some teachers among them. Most of them are also implicated. As long as they are well trained, they can be used for their own purposes.
In the end, excluding some of the 3,000 people who were in really bad health, the other 2,800 people were all kept by Shen Ao. Among them, 800 women will be selected and sent to the Zhongguo Palace or Xianwei Residence. Out of work. Xianweiju is preparing to open a second branch and is preparing to expand, but it is in urgent need of manpower.
It would be simple to set up a nursing home with about two thousand people, and send them all to Daqian Bank after short-term training. With these people, the time from preparation to opening of the bank will be greatly reduced. This is also Shen Ao's purpose.
Naturally, Shen Ao would not do the selection process himself, leaving it to Zhuyun and Shen Xing. Shen Ao leisurely returned to the oxcart, sitting next to Xue Fei, whose expression was gradually returning to normal, and headed towards the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion. return.
Xuefei's ability to adapt was very strong, and she even returned to her normal state one step ahead of Shen Ao.
Shen Ao's ability to adapt is also very strong, but the problem is that he doesn't know that the woman next to him, who is extremely good at kung fu and also incredibly beautiful, has long been his default wife. Because he doesn't know, it is impossible to be like Xuefei. Calm and accepting.
Shen Ao was busy subduing nearly three thousand sinners for his own use, and other courtiers were also busy, focusing on the remaining official positions after the collapse of the prince line.
Often the fall of one official represents the rise of one or more officials.
To use a simple analogy, if a second-grade official falls, there will often be a second-grade or third-grade official to take over his position. The question arises, does the replacement also have to vacate a position? Will it become another The target that others are rushing to grab.
