The appointment of Taohou Liu She as the Shaofu Order was quickly confirmed.
Liu Che immediately ordered Lantai to draft an imperial edict and appointed Liu She as the Shaofu General and Master Craftsman, which was the official title of the Shaofu Order.
When Liu She heard the news, he happily held a banquet at home to celebrate this great victory.
The young man's fatness is known to all the world.
The Shaofu, even if it is just a hair removal, is probably more than the annual income of some counties.
However, after Liu She took office, he discovered that he was just happy for nothing.
When his predecessor Cen Mai took office, the power of the great master was actually dispersed.
After the emperor came to the throne, he interfered in various ways in the Shaofu.
First of all, the Kao Gong Ling changed from being responsible to the general master craftsman to being under the guidance of Lantai's Shangshu Ling.
The East-West Weaving Order simply took responsibility directly for the emperor.
The subordinates who were sent to inquire and request the East and West Weaving Order to provide a list of accounts and other requests were immediately told: "Let's go ask His Majesty," and they were put back.
Not to mention Huangmen and eunuch orders.
Since the Qin Dynasty, these two departments have never paid attention to generals.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers within these two departments.
For example, today's emperor has close followers and minions, and the eunuch Wangdao, but his official title is actually the eunuch of the West Palace, and his rank is only eight hundred stones.
But who dares to regard him as an eight hundred stone minion?
And at Wang Dao's head, the great eunuch Beigong Bozi of the previous dynasty was a great god that no one dared to despise.
This great eunuch, who had been dormant for a long time after Taizong's death, had huge connections both inside and outside the court.
Even Liu She himself would bow down and bow three times when he saw someone else.
But Yongxiang and Yufu are even more complicated. Even an idiot knows that these two departments cannot reach out.
Because Yongxiang is dedicated to serving the beauties, concubines, and queens in the harem, there are countless great gods squatting here, and even the old concubine is not easy to mess with.
Unless the emperor gave a direct order, the great craftsmen of the past dynasties would assume that there was no such department as Yongxiang.
The Imperial Palace was directly responsible for the emperor's food and daily life.
This is Liu She's job and the main direction of his work.
But the question is who the hell dares to lie about the emperor's diet and daily life. Liu She doesn't have the guts anyway!
For a moment, Liu She was shocked to find that he could count the departments he could manage with ten fingers.
It is nothing more than Fujie, Taiguan, Taiyi, Tangguan, Yuefu, Ruolu and other departments.
Among them, only Yuefu and Ruolu Yamen still have some success.
Everyone knows about Yuefu. You can make a lot of money just by reporting that an instrument is damaged and needs to be remade.
Ruolu Yamen was actually the imperial prison of the Han Dynasty.
Those imprisoned here are all extremely vicious criminals who pose a great threat to the Han Dynasty.
For example, Wu Ni's party members, Zhao Ni's heirs, and various nobles and officials who committed crimes were arrested by the emperor's personal order but could not be punished.
Many of these people are fat sheep with a lot of oil and water.
If you want to live comfortably in prison, you have to pay tribute.
And these guys used to be big guys who could feed people with just a hair.
Although he is now imprisoned, he has a strong family background.
Moreover, there are various relatives who can ask for help.
Even the Eastern Palace and the emperor sometimes had to show off and ask questions.
For example, take the rebellious sons of King Liu Wu of Chu and their families.
Although these guys couldn't see the situation clearly, they followed Wu Ni and rebelled, which was a heinous crime.
However, they have many relatives and connections, and more importantly, their father is dead.
This is very important.
Never mind what happened with Liu Wu, at least, that's what the court's propaganda said.
Therefore, these guys actually lived quite happily in prison.
Except that they cannot get out of the imperial prison, their life in the imperial prison is not much different from the past.
They enjoy a separate house, are served by servants, and can even receive visitors.
No, as soon as Liu She took office, Pinglu and Xiuhou sent him five hundred gold to take care of his nephews who were suffering in prison.
But, how dare Liu She take this money?
Who doesn't know that Pinglu Houli and Xiu Houfu are now competing for the position of King of Chu.
Liu She didn't dare to wade into this muddy water.
On the contrary, Liu She accepted all the gifts sent by Liu Wu's veterans and the ministers of King Chu Yuan and King Chu Yi.
After a few days, I did some calculations, and after adding in the filial belongings of other prisoners' families, relatives and friends, I actually had almost one thousand gold.
This made Liu She's mentality suddenly unbalanced.
Because, as everyone knows, the two most important departments of the Shaofu Yamen are the Examination Office and the East-West Weaving Office.
The Examination Office and Zuo Geling jointly divided up the craftsmen of the Shaofu.
Zuo Ge Ling mainly produces crossbows and riding equipment.
Regarding this issue, Liu She felt that he still had a good view of the overall situation and would not touch it or interfere with its operation.
After all, supporting the military is in the interest of the princely class.
But the examination room is different.
As the largest and most powerful specialized industrial production department in the Han Dynasty.
The Examination Office has a large number of workshops in both Chang'an City and Guanzhong. There are eleven industrial workshops in Chang'an City alone.
Production includes five baht coins, armor, weapons, various utensils and agricultural tools.
The Shaofu government invests tens of millions of dollars in the examination room every year.
And the profits it generates are also extremely huge.
Last year, the examination room actually managed to break even!
This made Liu She salivate.
But no matter what, now the examination room is just like Zuo Geling. It is full of Mohists from Moyuan, top to bottom, inside and outside. Some people in the Chang'an market even said: Let's just change the name of the examination room to Mo Gongshi.
Already.
This also makes sense.
The emperor directly took over the daily production and work of the examination room and Zuo Geling.
The ministers of Lantai are responsible for communicating with these two departments.
A large number of Mohists were thrown into these two departments by the Emperor. No one except the Emperor and Lantai knew what these Mohists were muttering about with the craftsmen all day long.
Even the Shaofu Yamen itself was confused.
The Taohou family has always been the loyal dogs of the emperor.
Whoever the emperor supports is what Liu She's father said.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Liu She decided to ignore the examination room for the time being and give money to people and people to people.
But Liu She couldn't bear the East and West Weaving Room and had to get it into his own hands.
There is no other reason, just because there is no weaving room, and the master craftsman will be just a clay statue. He will have no status and no one will take him seriously.
The reason is simple.
The East and West Weaving Room is in charge of the production of official uniforms and regular clothes for officials all over the world, as well as the weaving of seasonal clothing for the eunuchs, maids, and concubines in the palace.
To be precise, the Dongxi Zhishi Yamen was the most powerful weapon used by the Shaofu to intimidate and intimidate other Yamen in the past.
Anyone who dares to quarrel with the young master will have Dongxi make a knitting room and not change clothes for you.
Let them wear summer clothes in winter and winter clothes in summer.
No one can bear such harsh treatment.
Moreover, the oil and water in the east and west weaving rooms are second only to the examination room.
These two most powerful weaving departments in the Han Dynasty produced countless amounts of cloth and silk every year.
Both of these things are solid hard currency.
Moreover, Liu She felt that the emperor should understand his difficulties.
After all, he is the emperor's loyal dog.
How can this be done without leaving a few bones for the loyal dogs to chew on?
As a result, Liu She began to draw up an ambitious reform plan for the East and West Weaving Rooms. (To be continued.)
