Chapter 326: There is only one doctor from the Ministry of Water
"Greetings to the Young Master..."
When Fang Jue walked slowly to the main hall of the government office, all the officials from the Ministry of Industry, big and small, were lined up neatly and waiting here.
"Greetings to the Lord Shangshu!"
A group of officials came to pay homage, bowed and held their hands, bowed their heads and looked calm.
Some people are scared, some are curious, and some are confused.
No one knows whether this new Minister is as easy to get along with as the previous one.
"We are all colleagues, no need to be polite." Fang Jue raised his hand and said.
"Thank you, Sir." Everyone stood up straight and began to look at the new Minister of Industry, who was somewhat too young.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and everyone looked at each other, their eyes scanning Fang Jue and Dian Yi beside him.
Fang Jue waited for a moment and then frowned: "If there is no one in charge, why don't you come out and introduce me?"
This is somewhat ignorant.
A middle-aged man wearing a fifth-rank official uniform, with an honest face, stepped forward and said: "Returning to your lord, the Ministry of Works suddenly encountered a great crisis. From the minister of ministers to the chief secretary of the fourth and fifth ranks... most of them were arrested.
In jail."
"Most of it?"
Fang Jue glanced at it and noticed that the fifth-rank man who stood up was already the highest-ranking official in the Ministry of Industry.
As a rule, the Ministry of Industry has one minister, one of the second rank, one minister of the left and right, one of the third rank, four chief ministers of the fourth rank, and four ministers and four foreign ministers, each of the fifth rank.
There are fifteen officials in total who are above the fifth rank.
Now, there is only one fifth grade left, and the remaining seven or eight grades are not even in the mainstream. Most of them are petty officials and cannot be considered officials at all.
"So many people were involved in the case?" Fang Jue frowned, feeling that the impact was too wide.
Asked: "Then what is your official position?"
The fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Industry raised his hand and replied: "Liu Hanjin, who holds a humble position, covets the position of doctor in the Ministry of Water Resources."
"Doctor of the Ministry of Water?" Fang Jue's face was almost wrinkled into a bun.
Rolling his eyes in the direction of the palace, Fang felt speechless.
Good guy, you took over the entire Ministry of Industry at once and left only a doctor from the Ministry of Water Resources. If you say you didn't do it on purpose, who will believe you?
Fang Jue already understood that this was done deliberately by the emperor in order to prevent the most important work of the Ministry of Works from being delayed.
The doctor of the Ministry of Water... is an official within the Ministry of Industry who directly manages water conservancy projects across the country.
Although it is only the fifth rank, it has great authority and very detailed management. If it were to be withdrawn all of a sudden, there would be no good replacement candidate.
Isn't it because the emperor is so deliberate so that the Jiangnan water conservancy project can be carried out smoothly?
Anyone in the entire Ministry of Industry can be replaced, but this doctor from the Ministry of Water cannot be replaced for the time being.
"Um, yes, I have been serving as a doctor in the Ministry of Water for nearly ten years." Liu Hanjin replied cautiously.
Fang Jue nodded, no wonder fifteen people deliberately stayed here.
Without Liu Hanjin, Fang Jue could not carry out his work at the Ministry of Industry. After studying the work of Liu Hanjin, he saved himself.
"In such a large engineering department, how can a fifth-grade water department doctor carry out his work?"
Fang Jue asked: "According to His Majesty's decree, does it say that officials will be dispatched as replacements in the near future?"
"have."
Liu Hanjin said: "The decree in the morning said that the Young Masters Association will also hold the post of Minister of Industry. At that time, a list of officials will be submitted by the Young Masters to the cabinet within three days."
"What?"
Fang Jue was surprised: "Your Majesty wants me to choose someone?"
"Yes..." Liu Hanjin said enviously.
Fang Jue looked at Dianyi.
Dianyi was surprised: "Master, this power is too great. What does the emperor think?"
"Huh, Your Majesty knows that I don't want to work, so he asked me to choose capable people to prevent me from quitting." Fang Jue said with a smile.
Liu Hanjin was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect these two people to dare to talk like this.
"In this case, let me introduce you first. I am a minister after all. If I don't recognize the officials of the Ministry of Industry, people will say that I am a vegetarian."
Fang Jue sighed and asked Liu Hanjin to introduce him one by one.
I agree with Liao and spent some time. Fortunately, they all have their own characteristics and none of them have plastic surgery, so they are easy to remember.
"What have you been doing these past two days?" After recognizing the people, Fangjue asked the Ministry of Industry's practical affairs.
Liu Hanjin said: "My lord, all the lower-ranking officials are working overtime for the Jiangnan water conservancy project in the spring."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. I'll ask Your Majesty later to give you some overtime pay." Fang Jue said casually.
"How does this lead to the salary of eating the king..." Liu Hanjin stared, shaking his head and waving his hands.
But I heard: "No matter how hard it is, you should be paid overtime if you work overtime. The Ministry of Water Resources has been working hard recently and should receive more subsidies."
"this……"
Liu Hanjin was stunned for a moment, and then he saw something glistening in his eyes.
Fang Jue glared: "Hold it back."
"Ahem..." Liu Hanjin realized that he was about to cry, and felt a little embarrassed, so he turned around and wiped them away.
When he turned around to look at the young master, Liu Hanjin's eyes were already full of love.
If you work overtime, you will be paid overtime. It is such a simple truth. How come none of the ministers in the past dynasties understand it? It is not as sensible as a young man.
Liu Hanjin, who was used to working overtime for free, suddenly felt like he was willing to do anything wrong when he heard that the new minister insisted on paying overtime pay and allowances.
"Has the work of the Water Department been affected after the fire?" Fang Jue asked.
Liu Hanjin shook his head: "Your Majesty has not touched anyone in the Water Department. Without the constraints of the superior officials, the Water Department can concentrate on its work these two days... and the efficiency is actually higher."
"..."
Fang Jue's expression was very wonderful.
This is the legendary saying that when most of the employees are laid off, work efficiency is actually improved?
"Is there anything that requires me, the minister, to make a decision?" Fang Jue asked.
Liu Hanjin paused for a moment, then clicked his tongue: "My lord, it seems that there is really no such thing... After I have done something, I can just ask the superior to correct it. On weekdays, there is no need to bother the minister to come in person... Of course, if your lord is willing to give me some advice,
Even if you hold a humble position, you should respect it."
"Don't..." Fang Jue waved his hand and said, "Since you have done a good job, I will leave all the power to you. If this matter is done well, I will recommend you to be Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Works."
Zuo Cheng is Zuo Shilang.
"Huh?" Liu Hanjin was shocked, but then he realized it was an opportunity and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your support, sir. I will do my best in my humble position!"
The officials from the Ministry of Industry present were all shocked and looked at Liu Hanjin with envy.
No one could have imagined that such an opportunity would come to light just like that.
Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Industry was a third-rank official, while Liu Hanjin was only a fifth-rank official, and he was promoted to four levels in a row!
Fang Jue secretly shook his head and sneered.
This Liu Hanjin, no wonder he can only be a fifth-grade doctor after ten years.
But Fang Jue didn't care about this. The Ministry of Industry was just a tool to him, and he had no intention of forming a party here.
It doesn't matter if Liu Hanjin is not on the road, as long as someone does the work anyway.
