When the public officials came to tea, Xu Ping and Chen Zhizhong sat down and asked him: "Participating in politics, what important positions in the yamen must be replaced?" These days, I haven't seen any movement of the three divisions changing people here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen Zhizhong said: "Wait for you to come, how can I replace you before leaving." Speaking of substitution, in fact, there are a lot of people who must be replaced in the yamen, and you have to be busy for a while. ”

Wang Juzheng's father-in-law is Chen Yaozuo, Chen Yaozuo has entered the political affairs department, according to the recusal law, he must go out of Beijing, and the deputy envoy of the household department must be changed. Wang Bowen has already decided to go to the Sheren Courtyard to appoint the governor of the system, and the deputy envoy of salt and iron will also be replaced, but the person has not left yet, but he is just waiting for Xu Ping to arrange a successor. As for the judges, Gou Yuan, and the Grinding and Exploration Division below, there are even more people to be replaced.

Sansi is not a good yamen, he can go to a high place, and Xu Ping is not good at leaving people here.

After discussing with Chen Zhizhong for a while, Xu Ping had a rough number in his heart, and took this opportunity to arrange the people he liked into the third division. Zhao Zhen didn't move the position of the third division, which was to give him this convenience.

talked about the personnel in the yamen, Xu Ping said: "When I come back this time, I should be able to guess that many yamen in the three divisions are also going to change." Some will be merged, some will be reduced, and some may be newly established. ”

Chen Zhizhong shook his head helplessly: "Naturally, I have already guessed that the official family promoted me to participate in politics in the political hall, why don't I have this meaning?" Our own people, you can first tell me about the general charter, so that I have a bottom in my heart. ”

Among people at the level of Xu Ping and Chen Zhizhong, the two of them are considered to be close, and they are both one of Zhao Zhen's most trusted factions. Now that Zhao Zhen's power in the foreign dynasty is weak, the two naturally get closer and support each other. Of course, if there is a real day in the future, the power of other prime ministers will be suppressed, and the two will develop into a new faction of foreign dynasties. There is a natural contradiction between the outer dynasty and the inner court, and if you want to sit firmly in the outer court, the struggle with the inner court is inevitable. If you really want to talk about it, could it be that the relationship between Li Di and Zhao Zhen is far away? But once he became the prime minister, he couldn't help but compete with the emperor for power.

Either be a lonely person in the outer court, full of enemies, and only ask for a Jane in the emperor's heart. Either there must be cooperation and struggle with the emperor, so that the prime minister can control the foreign dynasty and govern smoothly. This is a contradiction brought about by the political structure, and it is not subject to the personal will of a certain person, and the balance in the middle depends on each person's ability. Those who have done well are like Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng, one of whom relied on his wide alliance of henchmen, and the other by his ability and personal charm, who not only responded to the call of the foreign court, but also maintained a harmonious relationship with the emperor.

Now, Xu Ping must work closely with Chen Zhizhong, do practical things in the Third Division, and Chen Zhizhong will help wave the flag and shout in the political hall, and also block doubts and pressure from all sides. The prime minister is in charge of the affairs of a country, and with the three envoys, their energy will not be divided too much into the three departments. The three official divisions of each yamen in the capital account for six to seventy percent, but that refers to general affairs, and the number accounts for a large weight, but the importance is far behind, and the core of politics is still in personnel. The four heads know that Kaifeng Mansion is the most difficult to do, and the three envoys are second, so this is the reason, and the work is tiring and tiring, but the status is far less than that of the Hanlin Bachelor and the Imperial History.

Xu Ping sorted out his thoughts and said to Chen Zhizhong: "In addition to the changes in some positions and personnel in the yamen, the most urgent thing now is to redeem the flight ticket on Jingxi Road. Not to mention the turmoil caused by this incident before I returned to Beijing, I must solve it as soon as possible when I come back. Just look at the tens of millions of figures, if you don't clean them up as soon as possible, the three divisions will be dragged down in everything they do in the future. There are not many things in the world that can have tens of millions of yuan in interest. ”

Chen Zhizhong nodded: "This matter is indeed urgent, not only there is a lot of discussion on Jingxi Road, but there are also various opinions in the capital." Many officials are afraid that after you go to the Third Division, all the money from the Third Division will be allocated to Jingxi Road, and everyone will suffer. I heard that you compiled a set of "Rich Country Security and People's Policies" on Jingxi Road, which has a way to solve it, I don't know if it is or not? ”

"There is always a way, and it is indeed mentioned in "Rich Country and Security Policy". The booklet had already been compiled, and before I returned to Beijing, I convened a meeting of officials on Jingxi Road in Dengzhou, and I was supposed to submit it to the imperial court, but I was suddenly summoned to Beijing and delayed there. ”

Chen Zhizhong said: "As long as it is sent to the imperial court, I can always see it, and I am not in a hurry at this time." Tell me what kind of method it is, I know it in my heart, so that I won't be asked to know nothing. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "In fact, it is nothing more than the two ministers of King Lu who mentioned it, and what they said is also the method mentioned in "Rich Country and Security Policy", which can be regarded as the same as that of heroes." However, what the two ministers said was too brief after all, and even if it was implemented, there would be a lot of trouble. I have also thought about it in the past few days, and I still have to start on the road of Qian Zhuang that Lu Xianggong said. ”

"How? What Lu Xianggong said that day, I didn't sound very reliable. ”

"Relying on money alone, just thinking about collecting some money to come up for emergencies is naturally not very reliable. In order for this road to be successful, the three divisions of the yamen must be greatly changed, and a few new yamen must be set up to do special things. ”

Xu Ping habitually took a pen on the table in his hand, and gestured while talking, but he didn't dip it in ink. Officials who have reached Chen Zhizhong's status are all the choice of the moment, their brains are very bright, and their memory is good, so there will be no other thing that the other party said for a long time and he looked dazed. Otherwise, in this era, everyone is sitting in front of the emperor, and they are not allowed to interject casually to ask others, and they are not allowed to take notes, and those who react a little slower will make a fool of themselves.

"After all, collecting money through the money bank is just a means, and the key is how to spend the money. The flowers are not clear, and it is better not to collect them than to collect them, which is the next policy. It is the best way to use it where it is useful and to keep clear accounts. When the money is spent, it is the best policy to be able to collect more money back. Now the first step is to try to avoid making a decision, the money must not be spent without understanding, it must be clear about what is being spent. If the accounts are not clear, such a bottomless pit, no matter how much money you collect, it will be difficult to make a contribution! ”

Listening to Xu Ping's words, Chen Zhizhong was a little embarrassed. Originally, when Xu Ping was the deputy envoy of salt and iron, the three divisions overcharged a lot of money and came in, but Chen Zhizhong took over the three divisions, and the money was spent inexplicably, leaving a big hole.

Smiling to hide his embarrassment, Chen Zhizhong said: "This matter is easy to say, but difficult to do, does Yunxing have a charter?" ”

"All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted! The first thing I did when I returned to the Third Division was to spend the next six months to sort out how much money would be spent, where it would be spent, and how it would be spent in the next year. Only when it is clear, the three divisions can spend money in the next year to be targeted, and it will not be a mess. This matter, which I call the budget for the imperial court to spend money for the next year, once it is set, it will be handled according to the rules in the next year. ”

Chen Zhizhong was stunned for a while without speaking, and finally said: "This matter is indeed a bit difficult. However, there is a little benefit, although my accounts in the third division are a little messy these days, but there is no accumulation of accounts, and now only this year's accounts have not been done. Yunxing wants to do this, and it doesn't have to spend too much energy on the old accounts. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "This is the best, you can concentrate on arranging the next year!" ”

The bookkeeping of the three divisions was changed by Xu Ping back then, which was much easier, and the backlog of accounts was indeed not a big problem.
