As for the candidates for the Staff Office, Li Chen must keep it in his hands.
Su Zhenting has obviously already understood Li Chen's hidden meaning.
He pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, what do you think about Hu Shifan being the first general of the Logistics Office?"
Li Chen raised his eyebrows.
Hu Shifan was an old subordinate of the God of War. He was loyal to the God of War and also to the Su family.
Seeing how he mobilized the Liaodong Army to fight the rebellion this time and spare no effort to travel nearly a thousand miles, we can see that this old general has put his entire life's reputation, wealth and life on the line.
The most important thing is that he is older.
He has long said that he hopes to retire after this time.
And given his age, Li Chen indeed plans to arrange for his retirement after finding a suitable successor to succeed him.
But what Su Zhenting meant now made Li Chen open up a new way of thinking.
"Hu Shifan has always led the troops on the front line. He knows what is most needed in the army and also knows the importance of logistics support. The position of the Logistics Office may not be eye-catching during peacetime, but once a war breaks out, it will be the top priority. Since ancient times,
The soldiers and horses move forward before food and grass are used, which shows that the importance of logistics support is no less than that of front-line combat troops."
"And since he has experience, qualifications and prestige, it is really suitable for him to take up this position."
After Su Zhenting finished explaining in detail, Li Chen smiled and said: "But he is old and can't work for a few years."
Su Zhenting handed over to Li Chen and said: "A few years will be enough."
Yes, with a few years of buffering, Li Chen will have greater power and greater prestige. When Hu Shifan retires completely, Li Chen will be able to arrange for his own person to take over this position.
In the past few years, it is most appropriate for Hu Shifan to be the link between past and present.
You don’t have to worry about your lack of ability or qualifications to overwhelm the people below you, nor do you have to worry about being too capable or having too much qualifications to get ahead of others.
Su Zhenting's suggestion can be said to be based entirely on Li Chen's perspective.
"General Su understands my heart best." Li Chen said with emotion.
While Li Chen and Su Zhenting were discussing reforms in the General's Mansion, far away in the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Xuanji was also discussing reforms.
Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi looked heavy... In fact, their faces had not looked better since the last rebellion failed.
"Mr. Ge, we have all been isolated in the past few days. The people below have been arrested, died, disappeared, and have almost dispersed."
Zhang Biwu couldn't hold back his anger and said: "If this continues, sooner or later our hands and feet will be completely cut off by the prince."
Although Fu Yuzhi didn't speak, his expression had the same meaning.
Zhao Xuanji wears plain clothes. Since the rebellion, he has become more and more fond of walking in plain clothes. No one knows why this habit has changed, and no one dares to ask.
"What are you afraid of?"
Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "The people below dispersed as soon as they dispersed. I am still here and you two are still here. It is only a matter of time before we can gather a group of people again."
Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi looked at each other. Zhang Biwu said happily: "What the elder said, does he already have a good plan?"
Zhao Xuanji's eyes darkened slightly and he said: "It's just that...the reform plan that the prince is concocting is going to dig out our retreat from the root."
