If you don’t know what Wei Zheng means with such a explicit answer, then the decades of official career of the Minister of Personnel will be in vain. This book is made by

Although it is not clear why Wei Zheng agreed so readily, the Minister of Personnel at this moment has not had so many positions. Wei Zheng just finished speaking, and was so excited that she had already taken a step forward and helped Wei Zheng kneel in front of her up.

Then, he replied excitedly: "Okay, Lord Wei can have such a choice. I here guarantee that your choice must be very true..."

After saying that, the excited Minister of Personnel had slowly calmed down and began to think about why Qian Wei Zheng agreed so readily and directly chose to join him instead of cooperating with him.

So, the Minister of Personnel stared at Wei Zheng and asked, "Master Wei, I don't know if you have any specific requirements..."

"There is a requirement..." Wei Zheng answered very readily without thinking.

At this time, a sudden enlightenment flashed across the puzzled face of the Minister of Personnel, and he said to himself in his heart.

"It turns out that... If there were no requirements, how could Wei Zheng, who had heavy troops in front of him, choose to submit to himself so directly?"

After roughly clarifying the specific reasons, the concerns in the hearts of the Minister of Personnel disappeared.

As a veteran in the officialdom, the Minister of Personnel is very clear that in the officialdom, there are no real allies or superiors and subordinates, but only mutual use and interests.

Therefore, after listening to Wei Zheng's answer, the Minister of Personnel not only showed no anger on his face, but instead showed a smile on his face.

He said to Wei Zheng with an arrogant look: "What requirements? As long as I can satisfy them, I will do my best to satisfy you..."

"Sir Xie Shangshu..." Wei Zheng quickly responded with a gratitude and tears on his face.

Then, under the gaze of the Minister of Personnel, answered: "My sir, my request is, can you not disclose what happened today for the time being-..."

"Sir, you should know that the civil and military struggles in the court have always been abrupt. Especially now that there are bandits everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, it is particularly fierce. If today's affairs are leaked at this time, the officials are worried that they will be excluded by all the military officers in the court, and even worse. The soldiers under the officials will think that I have no backbone and will exclude the officials from the Tiger and Leopard Army."

The Minister of Personnel nodded thoughtfully at first, then asked Wei Zheng with a smile: "Master Wei, do you think you are not insincere in your backbone when you serve us civil servants..."

Wei Zheng shook his head without thinking, and then replied loudly: "No... sir, there is a saying that goes. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. One of the very important reasons why the Xiaguan made this decision is: Xiaguan believes that the war is now a logistics, and no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of a unit is, if there is no sufficient logistics guarantee, it is impossible to win the war..."

"And the logistics of all the troops in the Ming Dynasty are in the hands of civil officials. Therefore, the officials believe that only by serving the adults and receiving the support of the adults can the army receive continuous logistics supplies and win battles on the battlefield."

"Well said..." Hearing this, the Minister of Personnel immediately showed a expression full of emotion on his face.

Then, he said with a look of surprise to Wei Zheng in front of him: "Mr. Wei can see our Ming Dynasty official so thoroughly. I don't believe that you are just a young man in his twenties. OK, very good. I did not misjudgment the person. I believe that it won't take long to have your foothold in the Ming Dynasty official..."

Speaking of this, the Minister of Personnel has already recognized the request put forward by Wei Zheng from the bottom of his heart.

After some thought, he continued to ask Wei Zheng: "Master Wei. Apart from this requirement, do you have no other requirements?"

A hint of embarrassment slowly appeared on Wei Zheng's face. Seeing this, the Minister of Personnel's eyes lit up and he asked, "Mr. Wei, since you have decided to apply for us, just say whatever you have..."

"You just said that the money and food of our Ming Dynasty are in the hands of civil servants. Since you are already your own people, whether it is money or food, as long as you want it, I will have someone allocate it to you..."

Wei Zheng was waiting for this sentence, otherwise, the few times he knelt in front of the Minister of Personnel today would be in vain.

Besides, Wei Zheng also knew in his heart that at this moment, the more he asked for things from the Minister of Personnel in front of him, the more he could not live without the Minister of Personnel in front of him, and it was true that he chose to apply for him.

So, Wei Zheng said without thinking: "Sir, you also know that since the expansion of the army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, a commander of the imperial court, has allocated 500,000 taels of silver for the imperial court a few days ago, the other food and money were raised by the subordinates themselves."

"In addition, Xiaguan was the general of Datong Prefecture yesterday. Even if he gave Xiaguan the ability, he would not have so much money to support his soldiers... Therefore, Xiaguan hopes that the governor of Shanxi can appropriately allocate some food and salary to help Xiaguan maintain his army. After all, the Tiger and Leopard Army will need to undertake the defense of the entire Shanxi Province from today."

"Food and Fee..." After hearing these two words, the Minister of Personnel's facial expression was indeed much more relaxed.

Because, in the view of the Minister of Personnel, food and wages are not only urgently needed by the Forward Wei Zheng and the Tiger and Leopard Army, but also control the other party by themselves and ensure that the other party truly serves their own things.

So, the Minister of Personnel replied without thinking: "Okay, after I go back, I will divorce the governor of Shanxi and ask him to allocate 500,000 taels of silver to the Tiger and Leopard Army every year... In addition, I will also ask the governments in various places in Shanxi to do everything possible to cooperate with Lord Wei to accept the military and horse power in the entire Shanxi..."

"Sir, please..."

In the most tightly guarded study room of the Datong General's Office, military advisor Zhou Shuyuan was asking Wei Zheng about the specific reason for making this decision today.

In the eyes of literati like Zhou Shuyuan, Wei Zheng's behavior was to step on two boats.

Once this news is revealed, Zhou Shuyuan can be sure that no matter whether it is Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, or the Minister of Personnel who still lives in the General Office, they will feel like they are being fooled.

At that time, the two fools will definitely take revenge on the front brigade Zheng and take revenge on the Tiger and Leopard Army at all costs.

If things really develop in this way, it won’t take long to become the target of the entire court. At that time, even if the pilgrim wants to protect the Tiger and Leopard Army, it will not be possible to protect it.

Faced with Zhou Shuyuan's worries, Wei Zheng directly showed a relaxed smile on his face.

He said to Zhou Shuyuan without hesitation: "Military advisor, to say something bad, this is the specific reason why you were excluded from the court by your colleagues."

"So far, you haven't figured out the true meaning of being an official in the court..."

"The truth of being an official..." Zhou Shuyuan asked with confusion on his face.

Wei Zheng nodded and replied: "Yes, it's the truth... You must know that the court, whether it is a first-rank official or a small seventh-rank county magistrate, has no real allies or superiors and subordinates. In this case, one of the most important factors for the court to form a private party is interests, and interests tie them together..."

"Precautions?" Zhou Shuyuan continued to ask.

"Yes, it means interests... not only interests, but also mutual intrigue and exploitation..." Wei Zheng affirmed again.

"Take the ally relationship between us and the Jinyiwei as an example. The real reason why Lord Luo formed an alliance with us is not because he trusts us, but because of the salt business in our hands and the benefit of three million taels of silver every year."

"No matter who we cooperate with, as long as we don't directly contact Lord Luo to deal with it, the cooperation between Lord Luo and us will continue to continue with the annual profit of 3 million taels of silver."

"As for the ally relationship between us and the Minister of Personnel, that is, the civil servant group of the court, it is even simpler."

"I can tell you with certainty that our cooperative relationship with the civil service group is not enough to last too long."

"There is only one reason why I did this today, that is, I will temporarily make good friends with Chinese officials in the court to facilitate us to accept all the military and horse power in Shanxi."

"When we truly take over the military power in Shanxi, a group of civil servants who can only talk will have no meaning to us."

"And the reason why the Minister of Personnel agreed to form an alliance with us because of my words and agreed to cooperate with us to accept the military power of the entire Shanxi Province. One of the most important reasons is that the civil servant group in the court wanted to use us to weaken the strength of the Jinyiwei."

"So, as long as these chains of interest are present, our Tiger and Leopard Army can continue to grow and grow easily among the major local forces in the court, and will not be attacked by them..."

At this time, Zhou Shuyuan finally showed a sudden enlightenment on his face.

However, Wei Zheng did not give him too much reaction time, so he ordered again.

"Military advisor, don't worry, I know this... In two days, I will go to Beijing to thank me for my gratitude. I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to enter Beijing to bring the first batch of salt to Lord Luo of the Jinyiwei. In addition, I will turn the emperor into our backstage. So, you can find a few pieces of glass for me immediately."

"If the glass workshop cannot be produced, I will pay a lot of money to buy it from the merchant. In short, I must bring a few pieces of glass to the capital this time..."

Zhou Shuyuan promised loudly: "Please rest assured, give me a day, and I will prepare everything you want..."
