In the afternoon, it had been five hours since Ye Fan's order came out, and many people came one after another in the lobby.
Ye Fan didn't speak, he just stood in the middle of the hall and looked at the visitors quietly. Wu Jingtian and Chen Peng stood aside, like security guards.
The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing. No one spoke. Some people who wanted to say hello to Ye Fan were only waved down and silenced.
Unexpectedly, many people came. In just a few hours, almost half and nearly two hundred people had arrived.
It was obvious that these people had factions. There were many of them, each with their own faction. There were more than a dozen teams standing in one hall.
"It's quite messy."
Squinting his eyes, Ye Fan slowly raised the corners of his mouth. After waiting for a few minutes, he watched the clock on the wall reach six o'clock and stood up.
"Zhao Yi, go and close the door."
"Okay." Zhao Yi replied, looking at the team where some people were still absent, hesitating a little, obviously thinking of what Ye Fan said before.
But after all, he is just a small hall master, and Zhao Yi is still the kind of cunning person who has not joined any family. At this moment, he does not dare to say anything and can only close the door.
"There are 216 people in total, not bad, 70% attendance rate." Ye Fan spoke at this moment, sitting on the chair, looking at the people in front of him, slightly silent, and then he just said to Chen Peng beside him, "Let's go
Sign the list for them, and if they don't show up, just cross them out."
"Anyone who didn't come today will no longer be a member of the Armed Forces from now on."
Chen Peng nodded. He was the only one among the few who followed Ye Fan to Nange City. He was older and much calmer and more determined. At this moment, he received Ye Fan's order and just walked towards those people with the list.
"Minister, I don't think this is appropriate." Before a few people signed the list, suddenly, someone raised his hand.
"What's wrong?" Hearing this, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at the man.
"The minister came in a hurry today, and the notice was also a little hasty. Some people may have urgent matters and cannot return. It would be too unkind to deduct their positions in the military department." The man replied, "I think the minister can ask.
Why didn't those people come? If they really despise the minister, they can be fired."
"It's unfair to kill him with a stick like this."
After the voice fell, there was some silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Ye Fan.
Obviously, this is a hidden sentence, and it is nothing more than a test of Ye Fan's confidence and attitude.
"Well, that makes sense." Ye Fan also surprised these people. He just smiled and nodded, "What you said makes sense."
"Minister Yingming." The person who spoke spoke, with a casual sneer on his face.
What prestige does a little brat want to establish if he falls for his own tricks casually, talks so powerfully and then turns back and regrets it?
"What's your name and what's your position?" The man was still laughing, but Ye Fan spoke slowly.
This question seemed to play into the man's hands. He raised his head slightly and seemed to be a little satisfied. "My name is Ji Gongming. My current position is the Master of Qianji Pavilion in the Ministry of Military Affairs. I am responsible for handling some intelligence gathering in Nange City and the exchange of information between various ministries."
And so on."
"Ji Gongming, are you from the Ji family?" Ye Fan asked after hearing this.
"Yes, my family is a branch of the Ji family of the Eight Great Families in Nange City. Strictly speaking, it is a collateral bloodline." Ji Gongming replied.
"That's good." Ye Fan nodded, then, with his eyes raised, he looked at Ji Gongming with a smile and said, "You have been expelled from the Ministry of Military Affairs."
When the voice fell, Ji Gongming was stunned for a moment with a light sentence. The next moment, his face turned ugly, and the expressions of everyone present changed even more.
"Minister, what do you mean by delisting just now?" Ji Gongming said, seemingly in disbelief.
"Didn't I make it clear enough? Removal means resignation. You can also understand it as dismissal." Ye Fan replied, speaking coldly.
"I am the Minister of Armed Forces, and I will not change what I say. No matter what the reasons are for those who did not come, if I say they are removed, they will be removed."
"As for you, there's nothing much to say. If you contradict the minister, you will be removed from your position."
Ji Gongming naturally did not expect such a scene. He was startled and said with a smile, "Minister... you are too overbearing. Even if I didn't say it right just now, you can't just say it."
Let me be removed."
"There is no law in Nange City that allows you to fire others at will."
"There seems to be no law in Nange City that prohibits me from firing others at will."
Ye Fan asked back, but just sneered, "Okay, today is a meeting of the Ministry of Armed Forces. Since you have been removed from the meeting, you can leave now."
"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell the governor and let him come and talk to me."
Hearing this, Ji Gongming became very angry. He looked at Ye Fan and exhaled several times before calming down.
"Minister, this is such a great official power."
After saying this, Ji Gongming turned around and left. As he left, he closed the door heavily with a bang, which seemed to shock many people.
Ye Fan didn't care. He looked at the group of people in front of him and smiled again.
"Does anyone else have any objections to my decision?"
The hall was silent, and the leader was shot. Seeing that Ye Fan did not hesitate to let Ji Gongming bastard, at this moment, everyone felt a sense of vigilance in their hearts.
Obviously, this minister is really not easy to deal with.
"Since no one has spoken, let's assume you have no objections." After waiting for a few seconds, Ye Fan spoke again, took a look at the attendance sheet that Chen Peng brought over, and casually scanned it, "Who are the pavilion masters on this list?
"
"There is me." "And there is me."
Several people responded, basically those at the front of the team, fourteen people in total, three of whom were named Ji, one was named Sun, and there were also a few less famous people like King Zhou, Wu and Zheng.
"What are your respective responsibilities? Tell me about your political achievements in the past year." Ye Fan said.
When these words came out, these people's faces looked a little strange.
Everyone came to the Ministry of Military Affairs on free wages and did nothing at all. At this moment, Ye Fan asked, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.
Hesitantly, they each said a few vague words, which was nothing more than protecting the safety of Nange City and safeguarding the interests of the military department.
After hearing what happened, Ye Fan just snorted, "You pavilion masters, those with high positions, have such a heavy salary for a year, do you do such a small thing?"
When the voice fell, Ye Fan didn't say any more. He glanced at the people with strange expressions and waved his hands.
"Okay, calling you here today is not about accountability. I took a look and found that the Ministry of Armed Forces is too chaotic and there are too many idle people. The governor asked me to come because he must want me to change something. As a minister, naturally I can't
A betrayal of the Governor's trust."
"I won't attack you randomly, but from today on, I will give you two months. You can take your subordinates with you and do what you can do, whether it is to maintain public order or to help others.
You can do things in the Six Divisions, go to secret places or whatever."
"I want you to make achievements. After three months, I will select the four with the best achievements among you and promote them."
When these words came out, these pavilion masters did not react much. After a while of silence, one person said, "What does promotion mean? Pavilion master, it seems that he is already the highest official position in the Ministry of Armed Forces..."
"It won't be the case in the future." Ye Fan shook his head, "I will set up four military departments to manage corresponding matters. Those who are promoted will be the leaders of these four military departments."
"The treatment is the sum of the treatment of more than ten of you pavilion masters divided by four."
"The treatment of the pavilion masters who have not been promoted..."
"If you're not promoted, it means you don't have enough merit. If you don't have enough merit, why should you be the master of the pavilion?"
Ye Fan answered with a hint of coldness in his tone, "In the future, there will no longer be the position of Pavilion Master."
When the voice fell, everyone was startled. At this time, they understood what Ye Fan was thinking.
He directly attacks the highest level and lets these people fight for themselves.
"If there's no problem, just do it." Ye Fan waved his hand, not giving these people a chance to say more, "That's all for today."
Everyone was hesitant, especially the pavilion masters, who wanted to say something, but perhaps because of Ji Gongming, everyone was silent for a while, but in the end they just resigned in a sparse manner.
A group of people left one after another, and when they arrived at the door, perhaps thinking of something, he looked back and murmured in a low voice.
"This minister is so overbearing. Where does he have the confidence?"
"If we start a fight like this just now, he will be in trouble later."
The voice fell, but before it spread, Ye Fan's voice rang out in the lobby.
"The one who just spoke, your name is Yin San, right? You have also been dismissed from the Ministry of Military Affairs."
