Jiang Wan, who had been reused, did not stay much longer and slowly exited the hall.
Liu Zhang glanced at the remaining people, and finally his eyes rested on Deng Zhi, the leader of Yizhou.
During these several missions, Deng Zhi perfectly demonstrated his talents.
Coupled with Deng Zhi's character of integrity, loyalty, and judgment of rewards and punishments, it was of great use to Liu Zhang.
"Bo Miao, I have a very important position that I want you to take. I wonder if you can withstand the pressure?"
Deng Zhi's face was calm, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Pressure? It seems to offend people. It’s probably not a good thing...
After thinking for a moment, Deng Zhi chose the simplest method.
"Weak ministers only obey the orders of Duke Qin."
If Liu Zhang believed him, then Deng Zhi would not know where the sky is and would dare to do anything!
"Okay! I really didn't misjudge you!"
"You know there is a chamber of commerce in Yizhou, which is usually managed by the governor of the state."
"However, the coordination of the state governor's management is somewhat poor, so I decided to establish the Minister of Commerce, whose position is only below that of the Nine Ministers!"
Everyone couldn't help but raise eyebrows. Could it be that Deng Zhi was only twenty-four years old and that he was about to reach a high position?
Jia Xu and Xun You looked at each other and saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
The Secretary of Commerce is in charge of the huge Qin Chamber of Commerce, which is related to the life and death of eight million people.
If anything goes wrong, it can easily lead to irreversible turmoil!
Was the position chosen too hastily?
However, Liu Zhang had just spoken, and Jia Xu and Xun You could not directly refute him regardless of Qin Gong's face. They could only wait and see how things would develop.
Just when everyone thought that Deng Zhi was overjoyed and would take over the position without hesitation, Deng Zhi shook his head slightly.
"Mr. Qin, please forgive Deng Zhi for not being able to take over the post of Minister of Commerce."
Even Jia Xu and Xun You couldn't help but look surprised. They didn't expect Deng Zhi to refuse so simply.
The Minister of Commerce has a high position and will definitely be Liu Zhang's close minister in the future!
It can be said that the candidate for this position will definitely develop into a close confidant of the monarch!
Deng Zhi can fully rely on this position to recreate the glory of his ancestor Deng Yu.
"Oh? Why?"
Everyone was paying attention to Deng Zhi and ignored Liu Zhang.
After hearing Liu Zhang's chuckle, I realized that Liu Zhang seemed to have known for a long time that Deng Zhi would refuse the position.
Deng Zhi hesitated for a while before bowing to Liu Zhang.
"Mr. Qin, the position of Secretary of Commerce is too high. Deng Zhi is young and immature, and has shallow moral integrity and talent. Naturally, he is not qualified for it."
"Yang Hong, Zhang Su, Wang Shang and other important ministers who have followed Duke Qin for many years do not have such an honor. How can Deng Zhi be so virtuous? How dare he do this?"
After hearing Deng Zhi's explanation, the doubts in Jia Xu's eyes gradually eased.
Being able to say these words, at least there is no problem in controlling the situation!
Assessing the situation, not coveting high positions, and thinking about the monarch, this is indeed a rare loyal minister!
Liu Zhang also nodded in admiration. Deng Zhi did not disappoint him. He was very useful!
"Don't worry, Bo Miao. I can't give you the position of Secretary of Commerce."
"The three ministers and nine ministers are all vacant, and the minister of commerce cannot be set up casually."
"Gu means the position under the Secretary of Commerce, Liang Shang Ling and Yong Shang Ling."
Deng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief first, and then looked at Liu Zhang doubtfully.
"Qin Gong, what is the position of Shang Ling?"
Liu Zhang showed a smile.
"The Business Order is responsible for the construction and operation of a state's chamber of commerce."
"The Yizhou Chamber of Commerce was built by a single person at the beginning, but now it has matured. Yizhou Biejia Donghe is an honest man, so there is no problem for him to concurrently serve as the Yishang Order."
"Yongzhou and Liangzhou have just recovered. Only by gradually establishing chambers of commerce can we better restore the vitality of the two states..."
As he spoke, Liu Zhang was suddenly startled and looked down subconsciously.
"Mr. Qin, what's wrong?"
Liu Zhang shook his head, showing a hint of helplessness.
He didn't know when he put his hand on his chin again.
I am getting better and better at stroking my beard.
At first he was a little confused as to why people at this time liked to stroke their beards.
Now that I don't understand things, I am addicted.
"Bo Miao, the Chamber of Commerce will serve the people of the world in the future. What it needs is a lonely minister, a lonely minister who is fair and honest and dares to fight against any corruption."
The Chamber of Commerce does not have much power, but it has very heavy responsibilities and deals with money and food everywhere. It can be said to be the best place for corruption.
Even a few small thoughts can be enough to generate shocking wealth.
Liu Zhang was naturally cautious about selecting candidates for this important position. He needed someone who would remain calm in the face of astonishing wealth.
Deng Zhi is undoubtedly a talent given to him by God!
In history, Deng Zhi was reused from the beginning of Liu Bei, and finally reached the position of general of chariots and cavalry.
But his wife still has to starve with him because of poverty!
Deng Zhi never managed any private property in his life, and all expenses came from the government!
Who would have thought that after the death of a cavalry general, his family would not have any extra property?
In addition, Deng Zhi's age is also a greater advantage.
If historical progress is followed, Deng Zhi still has fifty years to live!
This is enough to support Liu Zhang to dominate the world!
Let the honest and fair Deng Zhi supervise the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, which will definitely create a good atmosphere.
Liu Zhang looked at Deng Zhi seriously and asked.
"Bo Miao, do you...dare?"
Deng Zhi's blood was already boiling and he immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
"Wei Chen takes orders!"
In order to repay Liu Zhang's trust, why risk your life against corruption, power, and danger?
"Okay, Bo Miao, please get up!"
Liu Zhang helped Deng Zhi up with his own hands, his face full of joy.
With Deng Zhi supervising the chambers of commerce in Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and the selfless Dong He managing the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, the development process will surely be accelerated!
"Bo Miao, the Yongzhou governor Liu Ye was in charge of the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce at the beginning. If you don't understand anything, you can go to him for advice."
“Remember, the Chamber of Commerce serves the country and the people and must not be afraid of hands or feet!”
The degree of development of the Chamber of Commerce directly determines when Qin can use troops abroad!
If everything goes very smoothly, Qin will even be able to support two-sided warfare in the future!
"Wei Chen, please remember!"
Deng Zhi did not stay long and bowed his hands before leaving.
He really knew nothing about the Chamber of Commerce and needed to seize every moment to learn as soon as possible.
Jiang Wan's matter is over, Deng Zhi's appointment is also over, and the remaining few people are also muttering in their hearts.
It seems that there is no audience left here, all of them have important matters.
In particular, Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, and Fazheng were the most nervous.
The Northern Army had just announced its establishment, and General Liu Zhang had left only the three of them behind. What would happen?
