One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty One If you dont do it, there will be people who will do it for you.
What does it mean to go up to the top? Although everyone understood the literal meaning of what Mr. Hou said, they felt that things were not as simple as they thought.
Even Wang Yuanji had to remind him in a low voice, "Master Hou, I have only been serving as the right minister for three months."
Han Du nodded and said, "I know that if you follow the usual rules, it is impossible for you to be the Zuo Shilang again, but now you are eager to obey the power. A government office as big as the Ministry of Revenue has many affairs every day, how can it be without Zuo Shilang?
Where is the servant?"
Other officials also gradually came to their senses, ruthless, this person is really ruthless! Luo Ying, Luo Ying, you miscalculated this time. You thought that pretending to be sick would cause trouble for the Marquis of Zhenhai, but you didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhenhai would take advantage of him.
After taking advantage of the situation, I will directly take away your power! Moreover, the reason of Marquis Zhenhai is still so upright. The Ministry of Household Affairs is busy with affairs, and we cannot live without Zuo Shilang for a day.
Yes, even if the Marquis of Zhenhai is not willing to wait, he will capture you Luo Ying directly!
In an instant, everyone cast envious glances at Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was originally just a helpless doctor, but now he was about to be promoted to four levels in a row, becoming the third-in-command in the household department. Moreover, as long as
Zhao Yu is not a fool. If he takes this opportunity to serve under the Marquis of Zhenhai, he will be very successful in the future.
Everyone was jealous, and soon everyone became excited. Except for Luo Ying, there were several doctors and principals who did not come to see the Marquis of Zhenhai this time. These were the good positions controlled by Luo Ying's cronies in the past. According to the
What Marquis Zhenhai meant was that they would all have their share of these good jobs, so how could we not make them emotional?
They neither took risks like Zhao Yu nor did they put in much effort. They were very satisfied to get some benefits from this matter.
"Master Hou, I have something you don't know whether to ask or not?" Some people were still habitually afraid of Luo Ying's intimidation, so they couldn't help but ask.
Han Du suddenly laughed gently and said, "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it. I can still do what is good."
Follow the good and the good? They really didn't see this.
"I dare to ask Lord Marquis, what should Minister Luo and the others do?"
Han Du frowned when he heard this, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "This has nothing to do with me, I think the court will make arrangements."
"Arranged by the imperial court?" The people who asked the questions were stunned and asked in disbelief, "I don't understand what the Marquis meant."
Han Du explained patiently, "Since there is no room for them in the Ministry of Revenue, they naturally need to wait for election and obey the court's arrangements. The Ming Dynasty lacked everything, but there was no shortage of people, especially officials.
, do you say yes or no?"
Official to be elected!
everyone
A look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The candidates for election, also called the selection of officials by the Ministry of Personnel, are generally selected for candidates. Of course, the first choice for candidates is to be a high school Jinshi, but there are only 600 Jinshi people every year, and almost all of them are monopolized by the Imperial College and the Academy. Generally,
It was too difficult for some candidates to pass the Jinshi examination. Therefore, for the sake of the future of these candidates, the imperial court established a system for selecting officials in the civil service department.
And now there is no special discrimination in selecting officials. As long as you are talented and knowledgeable, you can still reach the top of the civil service. Just like Zhan Wei, he was just a scholar and did not even have a reputation as a scholar, just because he fell in the eyes of Lao Zhu
, and in just a few years, he became the Prince Shaobao, the Censor of Zuodu, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Of course, officials who have been dismissed due to mistakes can also choose to enter the civil service selection list. But usually such officials will not choose to enter the selection process and compete with a group of people who have never served as officials because they have all lost their jobs.
I can't afford this person.
When everyone heard what the Marquis said, they understood that the Marquis was going to drive Luo Ying into the dust!
Han Du was very satisfied when he saw the subordinate officials with their earth-colored faces fighting each other. He gave them a sweet date first, and then gave them a warning. Now it seems that the effect is better than burning three fires.
Han Du was sure that after what happened this time, none of these people would dare to defy him again. Luo Ying actually dared to make trouble with him without asking about it. At the beginning, he didn't have the slightest foundation to go to the Baochao Prosecution Office.
At that time, he dared to fire all the officials who wanted to take advantage of him. Are you still playing this trick with yourself now? This is asking for death!
Han Du looked towards Wang Yuanji.
Wang Yuanji was shocked all of a sudden, and he quickly bowed and replied, "I'll take care of it now."
Wang Yuanji has been in the Ministry of Household Affairs for three months, and is already familiar with his colleagues. Han Du's request is nothing to him, but in a short time, he filled all the positions of those who did not come, and added the new roster
Pass it to Han Du.
"Master Marquis, please take a look."
Han Du took it, opened it, and saw the names of Wang Yuanji and Zhao Yu at the front. He closed the list and didn't bother to take care of the arrangements of the others. Han Du, who was personally managed by Wang Yuanji, could still be trusted.
of.
Han Du stood up, took the roster and clapped it twice in his hand, and said to everyone, "That's it for today. Everyone should perform their duties first and wait for the good news from me."
After saying that, Han Du entered the palace with the list of names.
I went to see Zhu Biao.
Seeing such a huge change in the roster, Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do? Do you want to change all the household departments?"
Han Du smiled and said, "Does your Majesty still remember when I was in charge of the Baochao Collection Department?"
Zhu Biao recalled it for a moment, nodded and said, "I remember that you seemed to have changed the treasure bank transfer case back then."
"I don't think of this strategy, but I don't know why. Every time I take charge of the yamen, someone will jump out to oppose me. I also want to twist everyone into a rope, so that I can have the strength to go to one place.
Come on." Han Du said helplessly. .??.
In fact, from Han Du's true heart, whether it is the treasure bank promotion department or the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, as long as they do not contradict themselves or openly confront themselves, Han Du is still tolerant. Anyway, Han Du did not think about it.
As long as he sat in an official position for the rest of his life, Han Du didn't care as long as he was obedient even if he shared the credit with them.
However, Han Du will never show mercy to those who openly confront him.
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I have Si Zhuyu in front of you to carry out the ceremony. I will follow you this time."
After saying this, Zhu Biao wrote Zhu Biao on the roster and gave it to the eunuch to take to the Ministry of Personnel for processing.
On the same day, Han Du took back the new appointment of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When he solemnly announced it to everyone, all the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, except Wang Yuanji, were still in shock and dreaming.
Even Zhao Yu was distracted and stood there blankly at a loss.
After Han Du finished reading the new appointment, he smiled at Zhao Yu and said, "Zhao Yu, congratulations. From now on, you will be the right minister of household affairs."
"Congratulations to Master Zhao." "Master Zhao is so lucky!"
Other officials hurriedly congratulated Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was talented and academically capable, but he was targeted by Luo Ying because he was too upright and couldn't stand what Luo Ying did.
Now in everyone's eyes, Zhao Yu becoming the right minister may be a good thing for them. At least they don't have to figure out their boss's preferences and thoughts, they only need to do things well.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis, for your love. I will never give up even if I die!" Zhao Yu didn't know whether to laugh or not, and quickly bowed to Han Du.
Others saw Zhao Yu, whom they thought they were familiar with, suddenly become so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and a trace of weirdness appeared on their faces. If he had been as knowledgeable and knowledgeable before, how could he have been targeted for so many years?
Zhao Yu straightened up, sighing in his heart that he didn't know the taste before, but the Tao was different and incompatible with each other.
Just a conspiracy.
Han Du smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, as long as you work hard for the emperor from now on, you will be worthy of the emperor's trust in you."
"I thank the Emperor for his kindness, and I dare not slack off at all~" Everyone looked happy and bowed towards the palace.
In the next half month, Han Du was immersed in the Ministry of Household Affairs, finding out the existing tax drawbacks bit by bit, and then making changes bit by bit.
After coming up with a preliminary plan, Han Du found Wang Yuanji and Zhao Yu.
He threw the tax plan he had conceived in front of the two of them and said, "You guys take a look at it first. After you finish reading it, we will add it all up to see if there is anything missing."
The two looked at each other and looked at the unknown book in front of them in confusion.
Zhao Yu didn't have a comprehensive understanding of Han Du, and he was always a little helpless in front of Han Du.
Finally, Wang Yuanji picked up the book and asked Han Du, "Master Hou, what is this?"
Han Du picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling that his dry mouth was instantly moisturized.
"These are some changes I have made to the current tax system."
Wang Yuanji was suddenly shocked and couldn't help asking, "Does the Marquis want to change the tax system?"
Zhao Yu also stared at Han Du in shock.
Changing the tax system is simple to say, but it may be more difficult to implement. The tax system of the Ming Dynasty was drawn up by the late emperor himself, how can it be changed just by saying it?
What's more, taxation is related to the stability of the world. If a sudden change causes any turmoil, who can bear the blame?
Han Du nodded and said, "The current taxes mainly come from the people's field taxes, which are too harsh on the people. Such taxes are not a long-term solution."
Well, let’s take a look at Mr.’s eloquent remarks first.
Wang Yuanji doesn't think there is anything wrong with the current taxation, but since his husband said there is, then there must be. It's just that he himself is too inexperienced to see it.
Wang Yuanji opened the booklet. He was stunned at first, then frowned, then became very distressed, then showed a look of sudden realization, and finally his face was full of admiration and shock.
Zhao Yu saw the change in Wang Yuanji's expression, and his curiosity was instantly aroused. Although Wang Yuanji was much younger than him, he had come into contact with Wang Yuanji, and he sincerely admired Wang Yuanji's talent and learning.
What exactly is written in this booklet that can make Wang Yuanji show such an expression?
