The Ministry of Personnel is very busy, and the Ministry of War is also very busy.
Only the Twelve Guards Yamen has always been very busy, but it has become very lively recently. The Twelve Guards Yamen in Chang'an has always been a place where middle and high-level generals drink tea and chat.
After the world was unified, the generals were even more free.
If the level is lower, he can serve as commander of the local army or as a special general, with a rank of fifth or sixth grade, and he can at least be in charge of a government of 1,800 people. If it is higher, he can be a lieutenant general in Chang'an.
There are three guards and five palaces. There are personal guards under the left and right guards, one for Xun and two for Yi, and two for Yi, each with five Zhonglang generals. For the remaining ten guards, each has one Zhonglang general in Yifu, plus the Zhonglang general in the East Palace.
You guys, after all, these people still command the inner guard and the troops of the main guard.
On the contrary, the higher-level generals, great generals, and those fifth-grade and above military generals who have no military rank and are only awarded the title of Sanjun. If they fail to obtain official positions such as governor, governor, or even chief historian Sima, then they will really be in trouble.
You can only drink tea in the Chang'an Zhuwei Yamen.
Every morning, I drink a cup of tea in the canteen before dinner, and after dinner, I have another cup of tea. After sitting for a while, I can go home from get off work.
If the weather is good, you can go out to the city earlier to go hunting, or play polo on the city court.
Chang'an is a big city and very lively.
For example, the Chang'an Polo League is very lively, especially during the season. There are polo matches to watch every day. In the playoffs, it is even more exciting. Not only can you watch the matches live, but you can also place bets.
But this kind of life is actually quite boring.
It would be better if the older ones lost their willpower and just ate and waited to die.
But for many generals who are still young and strong, they are still not willing to do so.
Now all the guards' yamen suddenly became lively. I had never seen so many people in the yamen before. All the generals came out and gathered in each guard's yamen. They were all talking about going down to Lingnan to Nanzhong.
Everyone has to fight for a spot to go south.
There are still many positions. It is mentioned above that the six governor's offices in Lingnan plus the ninety-six states. This time, Sima Quan will be replaced by officials selected by the central court. The chief historian will serve as a civil official and Sima a military general. The chief historian will be responsible for taxes.
Sima is responsible for the troops and horses.
Now there are more than 200 officials. You must know that even the Sima of Xiazhou is from the sixth rank, while the Sima of Shangzhou is from the fifth rank. The chief historian of each level is one level higher, and the governor of Xiazhou is the official.
Below the sixth grade.
The military generals did not want to fight over these two hundred long histories, but how could they let go of the two hundred or so governor's offices and prefectural commanders.
What's more, there are six military towns, two naval divisions, three patrol inspections, and twelve unified military offices. There are also many military positions there.
Some are going to Lingnan themselves, and some are making arrangements for their brothers, nephews, etc.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs are extremely busy. They are responsible for the appointment and dismissal of civil and military officials below the fifth rank.
Originally, the selection and removal of officials was done regularly after October every year, so there was time to prepare, but this time, there were suddenly a large number of positions to be arranged.
Gao Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, handed a list to the emperor.
Li Shimin took a closer look and found that many of the people above were familiar to him, while some he had never seen before.
"Where's that guy who got drunk and fought with the iron-eating beast at Huaiyu's house? Why isn't he here?" Li Shimin thought of the guy named Xi Junmai.
Originally, after knowing that his bravery was as good as Liu Renyuan's, he wanted to recruit him to Beiya and place him in the Hundred Cavalry and Thousand Cavalry. Later, Xu Luoren, the Baiqi Si, presented his detailed information, but Li Shimin felt a little disgusted after reading it.
That guy was a vulgar guy. He was brave and brave, but he was illiterate and uncultured. He drank alcohol, but his alcohol capacity was not good. He got drunk as soon as he drank and talked nonsense. He was also very rude in the army. He beat and scolded his subordinates when leading the troops.
.
He often breaks discipline, otherwise this guy wouldn't still be a seventh-grade captain.
But, even though this man is a military ruffian, he is quite capable in leading troops. No matter how much he fights or scolds, his subordinates can be trained obediently and obediently by him. When fighting, a group of cavalry under his command is like two soldiers.
I bought a hundred small mats, wailing fiercely,
But the problem is, this arrogant and fierce 200-year-old Xi Junmai is also arrogant and difficult to control. He is a famous bastard and is by no means a good soldier.
For such a guy, after much deliberation, Li Shimin still didn't transfer him to Beiya. After all, he was the emperor's own army.
But if you put it in Lingnan, it will be useful.
"The Xi Junmai your Majesty mentioned is only a seventh-grade captain, and he is still a candidate."
He reminded the emperor that even if he wanted to use Xi Jun to buy it, it was still a matter for the Minister of War, and Xi Jun's purchase was not qualified to go to the political affairs hall.
"Say hello to Huaiyu and assign this guy to him. He got drunk in the Wu family and even beat up the Wu family's panda. Wu Huaiyu should know his bravery and take him to Lingnan. There will be a place for him to be useful." The emperor said.
said with a smile.
After Gao Shilian retired,
Li Shimin looked at the list for a long time and copied some names.
After a while, he called Zhang Anan.
"Huaiyu said that he would set up a municipal shipping department in Guangzhou and Jiaozhou Port to dispatch shipping envoys to the city, and expand the scale of maritime trade by relying on sea routes. He should not only expand the revenue from sea trade, but also use sea trade to drive the development of Lingnan.
I think it makes sense, please recommend two palace chamberlains."
Li Shimin wants to send two eunuchs to serve as merchant envoys.
The main duties of the merchant envoy were to collect tariffs from incoming trading ships, purchase a certain amount of imported goods on behalf of the palace, manage the items that merchants paid tribute to the emperor, and supervise and manage the merchant trade.
Of course, they also have another important job, which is to collect local intelligence and supervise local officials.
These people were also the emperor's eyes and ears in Lingnan.
Regarding port trade matters, the transshipment envoy and branch envoy of Lingnan Road are also in charge of some matters, and they are responsible together with the city shipping envoy. The city shipping envoy is in charge exclusively, and the other two are in separate charge.
Zhang Ananda recommended four candidates, "Zhang Fuguo, Li Jingzhong, Yang Chaoen, and Zhang Zhongxian. All four of them are from the fifth rank. They usually divide the work to save trouble. They also work hard according to the orders. They have experience in foreign affairs and have always been relatively friendly.
Be loyal to your duty.”
"Then let's talk about Zhang Fuguo and Yang Chaoen. You can ask them to come to see me tomorrow, and I'll explain a few words to them. When I arrive in Lingnan as a trade envoy, the most important thing is to run my errands well."
······
Too many people came to see Wu Huaiyu.
Lingnan is now the most popular word in Chang'an,
And Mr. Wu, who was about to inspect Lingnan Province, held the power of life and death in Lingnan, and he could also control, worship, and monitor deposes. His power was too great.
Wu Huaiyu naturally became the most popular among the popular, a real headliner.
Those who want to go to Lingnan, those who want to arrange for their children to go to Lingnan, whether they want to be an official or a soldier, or go to trade, who would not want to pay a visit to Wu Huaiyu.
Wu Huaiyu is still in Chang'an, but she has become half the king of Lingnan.
On the contrary, Feng Ang, who was once the real king of Lingnan, no one talks about him anymore, and there is nothing to talk about. They all say that his name is not worthy of his name. He is famous in Lingnan, but when he goes to Chang'an, he hides in the old Wu Prince's Mansion every day, and his face is all gone.
It's hard to see it, and it's disappointing to see it. The thick coat and fur cover make it look as bloated as an old sheep.
What is there to talk about and meet with such a person?
Wu Huaiyu would choose some people to meet every day. If he met them all, he would not be able to meet them all without doing anything all day long.
It's okay at the Zhengshi Hall. His current title is Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi, which used to be Qin Qiong's title. He can go to the Zhengshi Hall every three or two days, unless there are important matters to discuss, he will be called there temporarily.
Most of the old troops in the Longyou Hospital Camp will go to Lingnan this time. Wu Huaiyu took the initiative to help them arrange it. In the past, they were basically promoted and used in official positions.
Fatty Wu was the branch envoy of Lingnan Road, and Li Ji's brother Li Bi was the transfer envoy.
Even the Cucumber Marquis Wei Siren and Wu Huaiyu transferred him from the Guangbian Army in Youzhou, and appointed Wei Zhaorong's younger brother as the Chaozhou Governor.
Yun Hongyin, the brother of the Yun family, served as the concubine of Huaiyu and became the governor of Guizhou. This Guizhou was the original Nanyin Prefecture. Now it was changed to Guizhou after the governor's office was evacuated. The former governor Li Guangdu recalled the general Zuo Wuhou who was promoted to the imperial court.
In fact, not only Yun Hongyin, but also Wu Huaiyu had many wives and concubines, including the Fan family, the Duan family, the Yun family, the Qiu family, the Yang family, the Lu family, the Li family, and even the Gao family, etc., all of whom were of high origin.
There are many members of her mother's family. Even though Runniang was born as a maid, her brothers Chen Xing and Chen Sheng are now sixth-rank officials. Naturally, she will take the opportunity to go to Lingnan to get promoted this time.
The advantage of a famous wealthy family is that their children not only receive good lessons from childhood and are capable of literature and martial arts, but their children also have family support and helpers.
Just like Yun Hongyin, he was already a fifth-rank official. This time he was elected as the governor of Guizhou. Since he has the ability to shoulder this responsibility, and the Yun family has strong backing, Yun Hongyin can be appointed as the governor.
Directly recruit a capable team of staff, or even your own security team,
This will ensure that when they arrive in Guizhou, Lingnan, they can quickly grasp the details of the state and government offices, and start working quickly, instead of being blinded, or even being completely ignored, or even being trapped in a sack on the way to office.
In the middle of the river.
The Yun family now has four county dukes. Yun Dingxing is over eighty years old and still active. His three sons are all third-rank princes in the court. They are not particularly conspicuous and are relatively low-key.
But the grandchildren of the Yun family are already very impressive. There are already two governors, many of whom are fifth or sixth grade.
This Yun Hongyin is also relatively capable. Yun Dingxing personally brought him to visit Wu Huaiyu, and Wu Huaiyu naturally gave him face. He is not a religiosity in employing people, but if he has talented relatives and friends, he does not avoid them.
Duan Wan's brother Duan Gongzi was also transferred from Youzhou to Lingnan by Huaiyu this time, and he was arranged to be the Sima of the Gaozhou Governor's Palace, the fifth rank.
This time Lingnan has a big entrance, everyone is sending people to Lingnan, and the emperor doesn’t care, as long as it’s not too excessive. Anyway, the main purpose is to cross the river to conquer Lingnan. It doesn’t matter who goes, what’s important is to get things done.
.
Changsun Chong became the governor of Qinzhou, Gao Jijin became the governor of Aizhou, Cheng Chumo was the governor of Lianzhou, Wei Siren was the governor of Chaozhou, Doulu Huairang was the governor of Shaozhou, Yunhongyin was the governor of Guizhou,
Wang Da Guangzhou Sima, Chen Sheng Guangzhou Sima, Duan Shen Gaozhou Sima,
······
The emperor approved everything,
Neither broken nor established,
Lingnan must be destroyed and then established.
The emperor pulled out Wu Huaiyu, the sharpest knife, and Lingnan was always going to be turned upside down. Hundreds of thousands of people passed the Longxia Lingnan.
This process will also reveal the true colors of these nobles and their descendants. Then we will be able to know who has the real ability and who is a loser. When the great chaos in Lingnan is over and the general rule is over, we can wash away the bad and keep the good.
At that time, it was survival of the fittest and readjustment.
Li Shimin was sitting on the throne of Taiji Hall, thinking back to Li Jingnan who went to Lingnan ten years ago, and the ninety-six states surrendered one after another, but no war was launched.
But this time, Li Jing's student Wu Huaiyu went to Lingnan again and was about to cause a bloody storm.
But when he thought of the current miserable state of Lingnan, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and strengthened his determination.
The general trend is inevitable and no one can stop it.
I have martial arts and jade, and with a hundred thousand soldiers, I can defeat all the powerful chiefs, slings, and savages in the south of Lingnan, as well as the raccoons and barbarians in the rivers.
