The usually noisy and busy housekeeping now calmed down. Some clerks and servants came in and out to clean the tables and chairs on the floor with rags. They tried to walk as gently as possible, while all the waiters, chiefs, and doctors were all in unison.
They gathered at the gate of the check-in room, standing in a row with their hands clasped, chatting, and paying attention to the open front door from time to time.
Cui Dunli stroked his beard under his chin and said with emotion: "Who would have thought that to go around in circles, the prince-in-law would have to come back to take charge of the overall situation?"
Du Zhijing on the side smiled and said: "Brother Cui still has the vision, congratulations."
Cui Dunli laughed, looking pleased with himself.
He was born in the Bolingcui family, and was one of the few sons of a Shandong family who held a high position in the court. He told the barbarians about his hypocrisy, was diligent and fair in his work, and had a good reputation in the court. The family wanted to find him a Zhongshu Sheren.
Position, went straight to the center, but was rejected by Cui Dunli.
In the past, the Ministry of War was just an idle bureau that provided military logistics. It had no soldiers, no power, and no promotion channels. Coming here was basically just a transition, and then seeking a high position and further development.
However, through a series of measures taken by Fang Jun, especially the establishment of the foundry bureau under the Ministry of War, various new types of ordnance were sought after by various armies, making the status of the Ministry of War in the army rise again and again, and it was no longer as dispensable as it had been in the past.
.
The firearms equipment greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Tang army by more than one level. The only Bureau of Guns and Artillery in the entire Tang Dynasty that had the qualifications to cast muskets and artillery was under the Ministry of War. The various generals and the Sixteenth Guards Army, no one should be flattered.
Go to the Ministry of War so that you can change your equipment first and improve your combat effectiveness as soon as possible?
Therefore, Cui Dunli feels that based on the current development, the Ministry of War has a better future.
At least until the end of the Eastern Expedition, the status of the Ministry of War will always be at a very high level. After the victory of the Eastern Expedition, rewards will be given based on merit, and then we will be able to move around. Is it not enough to be satisfied with just the position of a Zhongshu Sheren?
If you run it properly, you might be able to be promoted on the spot and sit in the position of Minister of War...
Now Fang Jun has gone round and round and returned to the Ministry of War, and has occupied the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. Cui Dunli knows that his current qualifications and merits will never make it possible for him to occupy this position, and Fang Junzhi is strong and has extensive connections in the court. In front of His Majesty,
The degree of favor you gain can make the Ministry of War grow stronger.
The higher the attention, the greater the chance of meritorious service. For Cui Dunli, this team not only did not suffer any loss, but it was actually a great thing.
That's why Du Zhijing congratulated him for not transferring his position but sticking to the Ministry of War.
Everyone even thinks that with Cui Dunli's family background and abilities, he might be able to go one step further soon and be promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War...
Liu Shi looked at Guo Fushan and said warmly: "If Fang Erlang is like a dragon or a phoenix, how can the military department lock him down? The political hall, or the military aircraft department that will be established, is where Fang Erlang can display his talents. We can only
You need to do your best to help, and you will be rewarded in the future.”
Liu Shi, who is dressed in official robes, is now very high-spirited. The Ministry of War has emerged as the Foundry Bureau and the Gun and Artillery Bureau, and these two workshops are under his jurisdiction. Although his current identity is still just the head of the Ministry of War, looking at the military
, even those generals of the Sixteenth Guards must be polite to him, this is the power to control resources.
After Guo Fushan was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of War, he has become the de facto leader of the Ministry of War. When a person has no power, he can be low-key and humble, but when the power is suddenly taken away, everyone will have to suffer for some time.
It's just that these words at this time make people think a lot...
Cui Dunli also said from the side: "Fang Erlang is not a person who takes power. He always takes care of his subordinates and dares to take responsibility. We can all be reused under his command."
Guo Fushan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, I know you have good intentions, but is it possible that someone in my country is one of those short-sighted people who are greedy for power? To be honest, during the period when I was serving as Zuo Shilang and presiding over ministry affairs,
, I am anxious in my heart, lest I make a mistake. And to be honest, with my qualifications, it is enough for me to deal with those big guys all day long, nodding and bowing every time, and letting them shout around.
...It is important for people to know themselves. I am not the material to be the chief officer, so I am only suitable to fill in the gaps and do some work. Now that Fang Erlang has been promoted, I am too late to be happy. How can I feel any loss or regret? Everyone
Thinking too much."
He was smiling on his face, but he was cursing in his heart!
What do you two mean by this? Now that Fang Jun has been promoted to Minister of War, but before he takes office, he, Zuo Shilang, feels jealous and resentful, hating himself for not being able to become Minister of War?
Mother!
Isn't this harmful?
You don’t know what kind of person the second roommate is? He looks like he’s smiling. If he makes a slight mistake in handling the affairs of the department, he will think that he is actually against him and show his dissatisfaction. Believe it or not, he can break my legs.
?
"Hey! Come on, come on, don't say a few words."
Du Zhijing quickly stopped.
Several people stood solemnly, straightened their clothes, and then walked towards the main entrance together.
Guo Fushan suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, and waited for me. I will have your little shoes to wear in the future...
When they arrived at the main entrance, they saw the master of the house riding his horse. When he got to the stone steps in front of the door, he dismounted from his horse, threw the reins to the door, and strode up the stone steps.
Guo Fushan and others all came forward and paid homage: "I have seen Fang Shangshu in my humble position."
"Haha, we are all brothers, why should we be so polite? Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"
Fang Jun laughed heartily, with a sunny face. He quickly stepped forward to help several people up, patted their shoulders one by one, and said with a smile: "From now on, I hope you will help me a lot. We will work together to build a large military department."
, Leader Six, Megatron Center!”
These heroic words immediately aroused the hearts of Guo Fushan and others.
The Ministry of War has always been the least popular among the six ministries. It sounds like it is in charge of the world's military, but in fact there is an emperor at the top and sixteen generals at the bottom. Almost all the big shots in the court have served in the army, and all of them have deep qualifications.
With such a high position and authority, who can the Ministry of War command?
In the end, it had to be reduced to an idle yamen that could only take charge of logistics...
Since Fang Jun came, the Ministry of War's status has suddenly improved.
The prince-in-law of the current dynasty had a profound background, outstanding abilities, and a willful temper. The chiefs of the three provinces, six ministries, and nine ministers of the central government usually made excuses in front of the officials of the Ministry of War.
With Fang Jun's name, who dares not to obediently handle the affairs of the military department?
Not even a step slower!
This is confidence, this is prestige.
Guo Fushan, Cui Dunli, and Liu Shi all bowed and saluted: "I sincerely follow Fang Shangshu's teachings. We will assist Fang Shangshu with all our heart, serve the king, and do our best!"
"Okay! Let's go in."
"Here!"
"Fang Shangshu, please!"
Several people led Fang Jun into the main entrance. In the courtyard, the officials, clerks, and servants on duty at the Ministry of War Yamen all stood neatly. When they saw Fang Jun coming in, they all shouted: "We have seen him before."
Fang Shangshu!"
Suddenly, Fang Jun was in high spirits.
This is the central government office that he has truly been in charge of since the Ministry of Industry. This is equivalent to the Ministry of National Defense in later generations!
Who would have thought that Fang Jun would one day be crowned minister?
On a whim, Fang Jun stood in front of the door, with one hand on his hip and the other waving: "A certain Fang Erlang is back again!"
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
This tone... was full of banditry, but no one thought it was vulgar. On the contrary, everyone felt proud of it.
In the eyes of other departments and yamen, isn't this Fang Erlang just a bandit?
The Ministry of Civil Affairs was stuck with the salary, money and food from the Ministry of War, so Fang Erlang stepped in. Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, immediately asked someone to personally escort the money and food to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Civil Affairs used the conditions for the promotion of officials from the Ministry of War to talk about things. This would not work and that would not work, so Fang Erlang stepped in.
, Li Daozong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, immediately ordered the officials of the Si Xun Division and the Examination Division to "handle special matters" and did not dare to delay for a moment; the Ministry of Works excused the repairs of various yamen of the Ministry of War on the pretext that the projects were huge, and as a result, Fang Erlang
After sending a name card, Zhang Liang, Minister of Industry, obediently sent someone to come...
How can such a leader not be supported by his subordinates?
Now Fang Jun has gone around a lot, and when he returns to the Ministry of War, he already has the black hat of Minister of the Ministry of War on his head. The Yamen of the Ministry of War has returned to the arrogant days of "three provinces, six ministries and nine temples" before. Everyone is doing things smoothly and everything is smooth.
If everything goes well, how can we not feel high in morale and cheer for joy?
The cheers soaring into the sky shocked everyone in the nearby Yamen.
The arrogant and domineering Fang Erlang is back again...
