Chapter 164 The Prime Minister seeks talents, and Duke Jiang feeds (seeking a monthly ticket)
Jiang Yao returned to the "Prime Minister's Mansion" and immediately appointed officials under the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This is Kaifu Jianya.
Jiang Yao sat in the painting hall that was renamed Mingzhengtang and issued a list of subordinate officials. Most of the dozen or so people were the officials of the lord's government he had trained in the past few years.
Appointed Yu Shu as the Prime Minister's Office Chief Shi.
Chu Heng was the chief official, Guo Kuan was the official, Liu Yan was the Lingshi, and Chen Tao was the Li Cao.
Zhu Yan served as the prime minister's household minister, and Zhi Cheng offered wine to the military advisor.
Appointed Feng Ke as the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ling Du was a military officer, and Zhou Zheng was a law officer...
There are fifteen people in total, almost a different imperial team.
Jiang Yao personally defined the responsibilities for each position.
For example, Ling Shi Liuyan's duty is to convey the orders of the Prime Minister's Office to the six ministries and other departments, and forward the official documents of the six ministries.
For example, the Bing Cao supervises the Ministry of War, the Li Cao supervises the Ministry of Rites, and the Li Cao supervises the Staff Department... The Sixth Cao of the Prime Minister's Office also serves as the Minister of the Sixth Ministry.
It is equivalent to saying that the actual person in charge of the six departments is not the minister, but Cao Yu, the prime minister's palace who also serves as the minister.
Jiang Yao took advantage of the newly established imperial court and everyone was unaware of the situation. He took advantage of the situation and seized the power of the six ministries of the imperial court.
After the team of the Prime Minister's Mansion was established, the newly minted Prime Minister's Mansion immediately requested the thirteen counties of the Qing Clan in the name of Prime Minister Jiang Yao.
Prime Minister Jiang announced that anyone who is under 100 years old and has attained the level of Wu Zun or above can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion within ten days to participate in the selection of court officials.
After giving the order, many qualified casual cultivators rushed to Qinghuang City.
No matter whether you choose it or not, you should always give it a try when you get such a good opportunity.
So Prime Minister Jiang, there is no rule against poor families!
In just a few days, hundreds of people came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The strange thing is that most of them are from humble backgrounds. Obviously the wealthy families do not take these court officials seriously.
They always hold an attitude of opposition or contempt for things they have never heard of. They don't care about this salary either.
The rich and powerful families basically looked on with cold eyes. Even the retainers who had been appointed as ministers showed little interest.
In their opinion, the status of a first-class retainer in the emperor's palace is much more valuable than some bullshit minister.
What is a minister? What is a minister? Can it be eaten?
They believed that this was probably the whim of the lord. The so-called imperial court was nothing more than a shop that could be shut down at will.
When the lord ran out of patience and interest, it was over.
Therefore, these people sneered at the selection of talents by the Prime Minister's Office.
…
Jiang Yao has been extremely busy these days.
He personally interviews everyone who comes for an "interview" and passes them one by one.
Make a basic judgment based on other people's cultivation, character, talent, qualifications and other factors. Only those he thinks are superior will pass the selection.
In ten days, Jiang Yao screened over a hundred people as officials of the fifth rank or above in the new imperial court.
Jiang Yao has a total of more than 200 officials of fifth rank and above, from local to central government. Among them, the original retainers occupy hundreds of positions, and the remaining more than 100 people are all newcomers selected by Jiang Yao.
This means that most of the candidates for middle and high-level officials come from the Prime Minister's Office!
Jiang Yao held a grand banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion and entertained more than a hundred "disciples".
However, it was said that Jiang Yao was hosting a banquet that day, with one hundred, sixty and seventy people in attendance. Jiang Yao was sitting at the main seat, wearing a custom-made new purple official uniform, with a high crown and jade belt, and a phoenix pattern embroidered on the chest.
Even though Jiang Yao is young, he looks very solemn and mature in this official uniform.
This is a first-grade official's regular service made in accordance with Jiangyao's "Yufu System".
One hundred, sixty-seven "disciples of the Prime Minister" and staff members of the Prime Minister's Office also wore the newly produced official uniforms.
Except for Yu Shu, who looked embarrassed, everyone else was obviously very satisfied with the energetic, solemn and majestic official uniform.
Jiang Yao put down his wine glass, shook his feather fan gently, looked around the crowd and said solemnly:
"The imperial court is newly built, and many wastes are waiting to be revitalized. I still need to rely on you to participate in the grand event, assist the imperial court, and benefit the thirteen counties."
"You are all sages from the countryside who are isolated and simple. Honesty is the most important thing. I hope you can serve the public with your heart, have the courage to do things, and show your ambitions."
Jiang Yao calls himself an orphan, of course he can.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties in ancient China, all princes, prime ministers, generals, etc. could call themselves Gu. Even Zhuge Liang also called himself Guo Gu.
Jiang Yao is the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor, so he is certainly qualified to call himself an orphan.
He claimed to be an orphan at this time just to show the authority of the prime minister and to ensure the success or failure of the imperial reform.
"Why do we practice cultivation? Is it just for the sake of long life and strong force? If so, then what is the meaning of life in this world?"
Jiang Yao continued.
"Being an official is also a kind of practice. What you practice is the way of public heart. Since public heart is also the way, it must be beneficial. It is not only a mere salary, but also a blessing for your own cultivation."
"From now on, as long as there are good officials and good shepherds, I will never let you down. You will not let down the people, and I will not let you down."
"I, Daqing, have eight million martial arts cultivators and five hundred million mortals. I entrust you with the well-being of all of you. Do it well, do it well!"
A martial master stood up and said: "The Prime Minister's words are thought-provoking. We have received the kindness of the Prime Minister and have nothing to repay. We can only obey the Prime Minister's orders and work conscientiously."
"It's just that although our qualifications are not bad, because we come from a poor family and our cultivation is not high, I am afraid that no one will listen to my orders when I get there, and I will miss the prime minister's important event."
What he said makes sense.
In the real world, if you want to have power, you must have strength.
Strength is mainly your own force.
Even if your own martial arts cultivation is limited, you still need to excel in other professions.
For example, Jiang Yao, although he only has the perfect cultivation level of Wu Zun, he is well-known to everyone in the Qing clan as a great pharmacist and a great poison master, and his status is equivalent to that of a martial master.
Although the new officials here are outstanding among the poor scholars, most of them are just perfect martial masters, and only a few are martial masters.
They worry that they will not be able to keep things under control after performing their duties.
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? I will reward each of you with three thousand real jade, and will advance two years' salary to allow you to break through the Wuzong. You have been stuck in Wuzun Perfection for many years. With resources, you can naturally
Successful breakthrough.”
The qualifications of these people are all B-level or above, and their qualifications are all excellent.
They have been stuck in the realm of Wuzun for decades, mainly because of poverty. Wuzun's breakthrough to Wuzong requires tens of thousands of resources, which is a lot of money. It is difficult for a poor family to come up with it.
Jiang Yao was really generous. He gave away half of the one million trophies that Lord Qing had rewarded him with in the blink of an eye.
Not distressed at all.
When the new officials heard this, they couldn't believe it.
What?
The Prime Minister personally supports each person with three thousand, and also advances two years' salary?
This, this is great for them, right?
Even Yu Shu was a little surprised.
Jiang Yao was too generous to these people. He rewarded hundreds of thousands of spiritual jade without blinking an eye.
He doesn't care about the money, and he doesn't know if he will get anything in return.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your great kindness!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
More than a hundred people stood up together in excitement, each holding a glass of wine.
"The Prime Minister's move was truly timely! We would like to offer a toast to the Prime Minister..."
"Respect the Prime Minister!"
Jiang Yao said with a smile: "I don't care about you and Gu for the moment. You all became officials in the same year, entered the same sect, and have the same ambition. You are the same year, the same sect, and comrades!"
"Everywhere from the imperial court to the local government is controlled by powerful families. How many of the retainers, city lords, generals, lords, mine chiefs, tax chiefs, shepherd chiefs, etc., are not from wealthy families?"
"You are all weak, but only by uniting as one and supporting each other can you break the deadlock, gain a firm foothold, and succeed in reform!"
"You just have to do it in accordance with your duties and responsibilities. Don't be afraid of not having a background or a backer. Gu is your background, and the Prime Minister's Office is your backer!"
"When the sky falls, there will be no one left!"
"As long as you act with public intentions and are worthy of the people of the court, I will be able to take good care of you and give you dignity!"
The sonorous, powerful and confident words made everyone feel grateful and a little surprised.
The prime minister is less than 30 years old and is just a teenager. Although he is trusted by the emperor, how can he have such confidence?
Isn't the prime minister afraid of losing the emperor's favor and destroying the reform cause?
They are all capable and well-qualified people, and of course they are not stupid.
They also don't have a good impression of the Valve Leader, and they know very well who the Valve Leader is.
But now that I have entered the Prime Minister's Palace and won the favor of this young powerful man, I have to fight for it. Even for the Prime Minister's kindness and resources and future, I have to do a good job.
Let’s talk about the future.
It is true that they are poor people, but if more than a hundred middle- and high-level officials unite, as long as they stand firm and unite more poor people, they will be a powerful force.
It is enough to shake the power of the wealthy family.
They know very well that from today on, they will be labeled as the Prime Minister's Mansion. As long as the Prime Minister does not fall, they will have a backer.
But if the Prime Minister falls... of course they will have no future, and even their lives may not be saved.
At this time, the moon and stars were sparse, Jiang Yao touched his non-existent beard, and wanted to play Cao Cao's "Dan Ge Xing", but after all, he was not thick-skinned enough, and he didn't have enough prestige, so that was all.
Alas, when will others say that when Duke Jiang spits out his food, the world will return to its heart?
After the banquet, Jiang Yao helped everyone cultivate resources, then appointed officials on the spot, issued orders one after another, and stamped the newly refined Prime Minister's seal.
Appoint six Wuzong as the right ministers of the six departments, appoint one Wuzong as the minister of Dali Temple, and appoint one Wuzong as the court captain.
Ten Wuzongs were appointed as the governors of ten new counties and the county governor's offices were established.
Appoint a group of military commanders, including the consummators, to serve as subordinate officials of the Six Ministries, Dali Temple, and Tingwei Mansion.
The rest of the Wu Zuns were completed and all served as the newly established county governors and assistant officials, such as county magistrate, Sima, Ti Xing and other officials.
The county magistrates' offices in ten counties are all equipped with official positions of fifth rank and above. The six key departments of the Central Government, Tingwei Mansion, and Dali Temple are all filled with officials of fifth rank and above.
Most of them are selected by Jiang Yao!
Finally, Jiang Yao gave each person a simplified version of the "Guan Dian" and "The Analects of Confucius" written by himself for everyone to study, which was regarded as unifying Jiang Dang's thoughts and teaching them to be officials and herdsmen.
Then, everyone said goodbye to Jiang Yao one by one and left the house.
The county governor, together with about a dozen of his subordinate officials, rushed to each county to take up their posts and set up the county governor's office.
They are all smart people. They take the initiative to contact relatives and friends without being reminded by Jiang Yao to build up their momentum.
There were only ten county governors and subordinate officers, but by the time they arrived at the place where they took office, hundreds of people were already surrounding them and entering the city.
In addition, they had orders in hand, so they easily entered the largest city in the county, hung up the county government sign, and announced that they had taken over the power.
The city lord's palace was immediately dumbfounded.
The city lords are willing to resist, but these places are newly occupied territories. They have been the city lords for at most two or three years, and at least for a month, and they have not yet formed an intricate force.
As a result, power was suddenly seized by the newly-minted county government.
The entire Qing clan suddenly surged and became turbulent. In less than ten days, flying messages from dignitaries from all over the country reached the king's mansion and were passed on to the Qing Lord.
Some complained, some complained, some slandered, and even the elders of the Qing family questioned and questioned him.
Even among the army, rumors were spreading and the morale of the army was fluctuating.
As for Qingzhu's Qinghuang Palace, many dignitaries also came, begging Qingzhu to make the decision for them!
