Chapter 295 Arrangements(1/2)
At noon, Cheng Yu summoned the five girls, Jing Salamander, Xiu Niang, Madam Hu, Hu Meiren, and Lan Xin, and had a rather pleasant lunch together.
As for Zi Nu, Nong Yu and Hong Lian, it is obviously not suitable for them to have dinner together now.
In the afternoon, Cheng Yu began to review the affairs that had been decided in the past.
Although the affairs of Luowang, Huanyu Academy, and Changsheng Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Gao, Zhanri, and Li Si will all send people to Yonghou Mansion for preparation.
However, the affairs passed from Zhong Qian to Xinzheng, South Korea were generally major matters that required Cheng Xi's personal nod.
In Zhao Gao, if the sun is hidden, the affairs within Li Si's authority will not be sent to Xinzheng.
Cheng Yu will not infringe on the rights of his subordinates at will, but he needs to know clearly what his subordinates have done.
If there is a decision that is deemed inappropriate, Cheng Qiu will immediately order it to be canceled or corrected.
Although there were many documents to keep, Cheng Xi knew that he would finish reading them in the afternoon.
There are three reasons why it is so fast.
The first is the change of writing carrier. Now, in the Qin State, paper has basically replaced bamboo slips, and office efficiency has naturally improved a lot.
Second, subordinates are aware of Cheng's habits, and the wording in the documents they report is precise and concise.
I won’t deliberately show off my rhetoric and ramble for a long time without getting to the point. If you dare to do this, you will still be embarrassed!
The same is true for the entire Qin State environment, which is very efficient.
When subordinates report matters to their superiors, they dare to show off their rhetoric, be verbose, and get confused. If they don't get to the point for a long time, they will never be promoted in their lifetime.
In fact, the administrative efficiency of the six Shandong states is actually not low, even for the bloated Chu state.
Because this was the Warring States Period, not the Great Unification Era, countries with low administrative efficiency would have been doomed long ago.
Thirdly, Chenglong's own eyesight is astonishing. With his powerful spiritual and soul power, his eyes are like those of a scanner or a copy machine.
After reading the backlog of affairs for several months in one afternoon, Cheng Yu didn't feel tired at all.
After reading it, Cheng Yu was very satisfied with the abilities of Zhao Gao, Zhi Ri, and Li Si.
Although the decisions made by the three people were not perfect, there were no obvious flaws, and there were only some minor and innocuous problems.
Among them, Cheng Xi was the most satisfied with Li Si.
Li Si presided over the daily affairs of Huanyu Academy and Changsheng Chamber of Commerce for him, taking care of everything in an orderly manner.
Although this is his duty, Li Si has no credit but also hard work.
If nothing else happens, Han Fei will join the Qin Dynasty soon.
His brother Wang probably hasn't given up on Han Fei yet, and will probably entrust him with important responsibilities, and may even entrust Han Fei with the post of Tingwei.
This is the highest judicial officer in the Qin State. He is in charge of prisons and has the power to judge and amend laws.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for saying that so-and-so is the highest official of so-and-so, that is, except for the King of Qin.
The position of a court lieutenant is very different from that of a military officer in Korea. They are both important ministers of the imperial court.
In Qin, a country that practices the rule of law, the status of Tingwei is much higher than similar official positions in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.
Officials who served as Tingwei were often the king's trusted ministers in the Qin State, and could discuss state affairs with the prime minister, censors, and the king.
In history, Li Si once served as a court official, and together with the Prime Minister Wang Wan and the imperial censor Feng Jie, they decided on the title of "Emperor".
After the unification of the Qin State, the position of Tingwei was retained and he became one of the Nine Qing Qings of the Qin State, and his position was at the forefront.
Even if Han Fei could not serve as a court captain after joining the Qin Dynasty, he would basically become a senior official of the Qin State.
It's too bad that Li Si is still a mid- to low-level official. Li Si should be promoted to a mid- to high-level official.
In fact, he could also promote Li Si to a senior official, but the promotion would be too high, which may not be a good thing for Li Si's political career.
Only by taking one step at a time will the foundation be solid enough!
Beloved ministers have sequelae and will inevitably be hostile to many officials.
This is determined by human nature and cannot be changed. If you are a good person, you will be less hostile, and if you are not a person, you will be more hostile.
Therefore, Cheng Xiu did not eat dinner in the palace, but ran into the palace to have dinner with Ying Zheng. Before entering the palace, he even bowed to Lu Buwei.
When he entered the palace the day before, Cheng Xi dined with his mother, Mrs. Han. This was the time when the two brothers dined together after returning.
During the meal, the two brothers chatted about the situation in Qin and the situation in the world. They also talked about trivial family matters and cared about Fusu's situation.
Finally, Cheng Xi mentioned Li Si and revealed his idea of promoting him.
In this world, although Li Si does not have a Korean connection with Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng also knows about Li Si.
First, this was an official recommended by Cheng Xi. There were very few officials recommended by Cheng Xi, so Ying Zheng naturally paid attention to it.
Second, Li Si is the director of Huanyu Academy and is in charge of the daily affairs of Huanyu Academy for Cheng Yu.
Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, also held the position of serving as the Grand Prix of the Universal Academy. He also attached great importance to the Imperial Academy and cared a lot about the affairs of the Universal Academy.
Li Si managed the Huanyu Academy in an orderly manner, and he had already caught the eye of Ying Zheng, so he naturally would not refuse the promotion.
Speaking of Li Si being an official in the Qin State, he was actually really comfortable doing so.
Qin's laws are not perfect in terms of commercial laws, supervision is not very strict, and there are loopholes. The Changsheng Chamber of Commerce is a semi-official organization.
Some matters are not so sensitive, and he has the support of Cheng Yu. Li Si does not deliberately make money for political future, and he does not lack the filial piety of big businessmen.
These businessmen showed filial piety to Li Si not so that Li Si could do things, but so that Li Si would not wear his little shoes.
Although Xiao Jing's money is not too much, there are so many big businessmen in the world that it adds up to a considerable sum.
In the affairs of Huanyu Academy, Ying Zheng, the high priest, Cheng Xiu, the right priest, and Lu Buwei, the left priest, did not interfere much.
In daily affairs, Li Si, as the secretary, was responsible for the right to offer wine. He had great power in the three-acre area of Huanyu Academy and the subordinate local academy.
Isn’t it wonderful to be rich and powerful?
At noon the next day, Lu Buwei went back from the Prime Minister's Mansion to have dinner, and Cheng Xi came on time.
After dinner, while drinking tea together, Cheng Yu exchanged interests and easily confirmed Li Si's new official position.
It was naturally impossible for Cheng Yu to use Lu Buwei's excuses to make an issue of such a trivial matter.
It was treated as if it had never happened, and Lu Buwei was not allowed to give any face, and it was achieved in exchange for benefits. During this period, Lu Buwei was also treated with great respect.
Lu Buwei, who has grown old and matures, and knows what he is doing, will naturally not be able to refute Cheng Xi's face.
In the afternoon, Cheng Yu sent someone to summon Li Si to Yonghou Mansion.
Promoting people without leaving their names is not Cheng's style.
There is no need to exaggerate the difficulty, just be realistic and let the person being promoted know it.
In the spacious and majestic main hall in the front yard of Yonghou Mansion, Li Si, who was wearing a beam crown and a dark official robe, respectfully bowed his hands and his tone was natural and respectful.
"I'm going to pay my respects to the Marquis."
"Get up, take a seat, and drink tea." Cheng Xi said casually.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Li Si walked to Cheng Xi's lower right seat and took a seat. He picked up the tea that had been prepared and took a sip before speaking.
"The Lord Marquis has summoned my officials to come here, but I have something to give you?"
"Please speak frankly, Lord Marquis, so that I can get it done as soon as possible."
Looking at Li Si's attitude and proactive attitude, it's no wonder that someone else could go from a petty official in the Chu State to the Prime Minister of the Qin Empire.
Although his final ending was not good enough, he had already reached the peak and left a mark in the history books.
Who doesn’t like this kind of wage earner?
"I have nothing to tell you when I call you here this time. I just have some news to tell you."
"Huanyu Academy and the Changsheng Chamber of Commerce have done a good job in handling matters. In addition, you are already in the Qin Dynasty, so it's time for you to move up."
"In three days, you are going to report to the Prime Minister's Mansion and serve as chief historian. Both Brother Wang and Prime Minister Lu have agreed."
The meaning of this sentence is that the matter is a foregone conclusion and the original long history has already made its place.
"However, you cannot step down from your post until I have found a replacement for the affairs of Huanyu Academy and Changsheng Chamber of Commerce, or you have trained a successor."
"The affairs are heavy, can you handle it?"
Li Si was shocked at first when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. The surprise was really like an accident, it just came as expected.
The official position of Chief of the Prime Minister's Office, Shi, is not ordinary. He ranks among the top two officials in the Prime Minister's Office and is the Prime Minister's right-hand man.
The prime minister is in charge of direct affairs, assists the prime minister on the left, reports lawlessness, and earns a salary of thousands of stones.
The prime minister has a long history, assists the left prime minister, supervises and leads all officials, handles various government affairs, and has a salary as high as a thousand stones.
Although Chang Shi's salary status seems to be lower than that of Cheese, the real power in his hands is actually greater.
Whether it is one or two depends on who is more valued by the prime minister.
Today's prime minister is basically still a complete prime minister. He has many officials and staff. He is truly the head of a hundred officials and can compete with the king.
There are also the Prime Minister's Campaign, the Prime Minister's History, the Prime Minister's Young History, Dong Cao's rafter, West Cao's rafter, discussing Cao, resigning Cao, memorializing Cao, thief Cao, decisive Cao, gathering Cao, Hu Cao, Fa Cao, Wei Cao, Cang Cao,
