Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 418 Official reinstatement and the impact of inflation
Chapter 418 Official reinstatement and the impact of inflation
Fang Yuan and Li Shimin chatted for a long time before leaving the imperial study room.
After leaving the imperial study, Fang Yuan did not leave the palace, but went to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In the past half a year, a lot of official documents have accumulated in the Ministry of Accounts, and Fang Yuan's desk is full.
If Fang Qingping hadn't handled most of it, Fang Yuan would have more official documents now.
Now, with Fang Yuan's support, Fang Qingping is already the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Zuo Shilang is still Gao Shilian.
He was only suspended, not dismissed.
Now more than half a year has passed, and neither Gao Shilian nor Changsun Wuji have been reinstated.
This is unbelievable to all the officials in the imperial court. After all, both of them are His Majesty's relatives.
But as a result, the ministers became more serious in their work, not daring to neglect or act recklessly, for fear of following in the footsteps of Chang Sun Wuji and the others.
Fang Yuan stepped into the Household Department, and the officials from the Household Department greeted Fang Yuan one after another.
They all already knew roughly what happened during Fang Yuan's half-year absence, and they were extremely impressed by their boss.
Coupled with Fang Yuan's status and status as the Duke of the country, the feeling of awe is even greater, and no one in the household department dares to disobey Fang Yuan's orders.
"Go and get busy, I still need to read the official documents."
Fang Yuan asked them to go to work separately and there was no need to stay here for too long.
He doesn't have many requirements for implementationism, as long as every order he gives is completed as scheduled and qualified.
The officials slowly dispersed, and Fang Qingping was left to report to Fang Yuan again what happened in the Household Department during Fang Yuan's absence in Chang'an City.
"According to you, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian will be reinstated to their posts soon?"
After listening to Fang Qingping's report, Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
Fang Qingping said, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were not idle during this period.
An issue that was actively pushed into rebellion in Shandong, Shandong finally completely returned to calm last month.
One often goes into the palace to look for the queen, or the King of Wei and the King of Jin, and spends most of the day in the palace.
With such seriousness, the emperor will probably reinstate them to their posts soon.
After all, one has done meritorious service and the other is always running around in the palace, so he must be given an explanation.
"The lower official also feels the same way."
Fang Qingping nodded.
"Let it go."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and smiled.
Whether it is Gao Shilian or Changsun Wuji, neither of them is easy to dismount.
Just like Li Chengqian, he made mistakes again and again, but in the end he was demoted from Chang'an City as a last resort.
"Yes."
Fang Qingping responded respectfully and then left.
Fang Yuan sat in his seat and paused for a moment, then laughed and shook his head, no longer paying attention.
He still has a lot of things to do, and the pile of memorials in front of him need to be corrected by him personally.
Even the Minister of Household Affairs cannot make corrections, only the Minister of Household Affairs can make corrections. This shows how important these official documents are.
Normally, if the Minister of Hubu is not around, these memorials will be corrected by the Minister of Hubu, or submitted to the emperor for correction.
But Li Shimin did not accept them, nor did he ask Fang Qingping to correct them. Instead, he let these memorials wait for Fang Yuan to come back and then correct them.
On this day, Fang Yuan was so tired that his back ached. He relaxed a little when he was about to get off work, stretching and getting ready for get off work.
As soon as the tea was brewed and before I was in a hurry to taste it, eunuch Wang De walked in with a smile.
"Fang Shangshu, I'm disturbing you."
Wang De walked into Fang Yuan's office with a smiling face.
"Prince, what kind of wind brings you here?"
Fang Yuan was a little surprised and stood up to greet him.
He had just come out of the Imperial Study Room not long ago, so the emperor had no reason to call him that again, right?
"Your Majesty asked the villain to inform Fang Shangshu that Gao Shilian will resume his post tomorrow and ask you to arrange for someone to tidy up Gao Shilian's office."
Wang De said with a smile.
The smile seems a little flattering.
"Tomorrow?"
"I know."
Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
He took a deep look at Wang De and then nodded understandingly.
The emperor asked Wang De to come and inform him personally, probably to appease his dissatisfaction.
Otherwise, there is no need for Wang De to come in person, any eunuch can do it.
"The little man will go back and recover first."
Wang De bowed and left.
Sure enough, Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji were reinstated.
But today is different from the past. In the past, Gao Shilian relied on his status as the Duke of the country and did not give himself much face.
Now he not only has a higher position than him, but also has the status of a public servant. He has no place to rely on.
In this way, Fang Yuan got off work as usual, and before leaving get off work, he was notified that Gao ShiLianGuan would be reinstated on the following day.
Returning to Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan started walking his children to quickly get the two little ones familiar with Fang Yuan.
The night passed so warmly.
The next day, there was no morning meeting, so Fang Yuan arrived at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, Gao Shilian had already arrived, with several people supporting him.
When Fang Yuan arrived, these people immediately distanced themselves from Gao Shilian and saluted Fang Yuan in fear.
"I'm going to pay my respects to Lord Shangshu."
Gao Shilian looked slightly uncomfortable and his movements were a little stiff.
"No gift."
"Secretary Gao, long time no see. You look quite haggard."
Fang Yuan said politely.
His eyes were looking at Gao Shilian's body.
As Fang Yuan said, Gao Shilian looks a lot older and haggard.
Fang Yuan is not the only one who feels this way, other officials present also feel this way.
"I'm really haggard. Thank you Fang Shangshu for your concern."
Gao Shilian's eyes flashed coldly and he said sarcastically.
If it weren't for Fang Yuan, he would never look so haggard now.
He spent a lot of effort on the matter in Shandong before he finally settled the public grievances there.
After half a year of hard work, he looks a lot older and haggard.
"Pay attention to rest."
Fang Yuan left only one sentence.
But before leaving, Fang Yuan glanced at several officials present.
Several officials immediately asked Gao Shilian about the identity card and left with Fang Yuan.
Looking at Fang Yuan's leaving figure, Gao Shilian's face slowly sank, his eyes filled with haze.
This is to give himself authority and tell himself that the household department is under his control. Don't be ignorant.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He was suspended for half a year, Fang Yuan was also absent for half a year, and both of them were absent from the household department for half a year.
But although Fang Yuan is not in the Ministry of Household Affairs, what he does outside has greatly gained the reputation of the Ministry of Household Affairs and Datang, and his status has naturally increased.
In addition, Fang Yuan is still a public servant, so it will probably not be easy to gain a certain say in the Ministry of Household Affairs in the future.
The other side.
Changsun Wuji was reinstated as an official.
Compared with Gao Shilian, the entire staff welcomed his return.
He is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and everyone in the Ministry of Personnel is under his control. Who dares not to give him face?
At this point, the uncle and nephew were officially reinstated to their posts.
Household Department.
Fang Yuan had no intention of paying attention to Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji.
He was also correcting official documents today, but he had free time to let people investigate the issue of inflation.
Lu Xia from Hua Xia Bank was immediately called to inquire about the situation and asked her to investigate the number of printed banknotes and other matters.
Two days in a row.
Fang Yuan finally finished correcting the official document.
In order to investigate the issue of inflation, Fang Yuan personally went to the grassroots level.
The so-called lower class actually means going shopping as an ordinary person.
But there were too many people who knew Fang Yuan in Chang'an City, so Fang Yuan went directly out of the city to the county seat next door.
Xinfeng County, the county next to Chang'an City.
Because of its proximity to the imperial capital, Xinfeng County has also developed quite well.
Fang Yuan's Bafang Group has many industries here, and there are more roads here than in Chang'an City.
During this trip, Fang Yuan brought Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing out, leaving the two sons with the nanny at home.
"Husband, is there a lot of our family's property in Xinfeng County?"
Su Ziqing doesn't know much about the Fang family.
There are many things that I have heard about but have not been exposed to.
Those things are in Du Miaoyan's hands, not in hers.
Fang Yuan didn't say that he would share part of it with Su Ziqing, and Du Miaoyan didn't take the initiative to do so.
"Both the red brick factory and the cement factory are in Xinfeng County."
Fang Yuan doesn’t remember how many industries there are here.
But the red brick and cement factory is in Xinfeng County, which facilitates the transfer of Chang'an City.
Now Chang'an City has built two communities, and people have moved in one after another, and others are still being built.
Gao Community is liked by many people, but there are still many people who don't like it, but Fang Yuan doesn't mind and lets people develop living measures.
Once living standards are improved, community housing will become even more popular.
"The two important factories are here."
Su Ziqing's eyes lit up slightly, showing envy.
I heard that the number of employees in these two factories has exceeded 3,000, which is a large number.
Such a big factory, managing so many people, will drive a huge economy.
Du Miaoyan controls such a large factory, which is really enviable, and he also wants to take charge of it.
Fang Yuan was about to call her back, but at this moment, three dejected young men came towards him.
Looking at their uniform blue clothes and the words "Red Brick Factory" on their chests, Fang Yuan knew that they were employees of the Red Brick Factory.
"How many, how many brothers, are you employees of the Red Brick Factory?"
Fang Yuan stopped in front of them and asked politely.
"Are you okay?"
Several people looked Fang Yuan up and down and asked confusedly.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was dressed gorgeously, several people were relatively polite, but they still maintained a sense of pride.
In Xinfeng County, those who can work in red brick factories and cement factories are highly respected.
"I heard that the employees at the Red Brick Factory have very good salary and benefits, and the employees are very happy."
"But from the looks of you, it doesn't seem like that. Can you tell me about the situation?"
Fang Yuan asked politely.
As he spoke, he took out a 100-yuan Tang Dynasty treasure note from his hand.
Although Fang Yuan came here to check the inflation problem, he also wanted to ask about the situation when he encountered problems in the factory.
Both the red brick factory and the cement factory were pioneers in this era, and the welfare of the employees inside can be said to be at the forefront.
If the employees inside feel unhappy, it’s fine if it’s an external problem, but if it’s an internal problem, it needs to be rectified.
"This...then let me talk about it."
The three employees looked at each other, and finally the middle-aged man in the middle took the banknote and put it in his arms.
"The three of us are actually no longer employees of the Red Brick Factory... we were still before today."
"In the morning, the three of us and several workers went to the supervisor to talk about a salary increase, and then the three of us were fired as representatives."
The three of them sighed and said.
Because of being representatives, the three of them were fired.
Those who went with them to ask for a salary increase were deducted from half a month to a month.
So the three of them walked down the street with their heads downcast, their eyes full of loneliness.
"Salary increase?"
"Isn't the monthly salary in the red brick factory very good now?"
Fang Yuan asked in confusion.
The monthly salary at the Red Brick Factory is quite high now, almost one hundred and one month.
In addition, there are subsidies for food and housing, which is very user-friendly.
It is indeed excessive to demand a salary increase, but firing people is even more extreme.
"It's good, but now prices outside have also risen."
"Usually, a biscuit costs one penny, but now it costs two pence, and our monthly salary has not been increased yet."
"Originally, the three of us just wanted to ask if there would be a salary increase, but we didn't expect that we were fired directly. It's really... it's really..."
The three of them talked, their eyes a little red.
"Usually a sesame seed cake costs one penny, but now it costs two penny?!"
Fang Yuan frowned and said.
Is the price increase so exaggerated? It has doubled.
"Yeah."
"Not only sesame seed cakes, but also other items have also increased a lot."
"We all have to support our families, so naturally we want a higher monthly salary."
The three of them sighed.
Facing being expelled, they felt desperate.
Without this job, family life will be difficult in the future.
"I have something to do with the Red Brick Factory. How about you come with me and I let you return to the Red Brick Factory?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
He wants to know what is going on in the red brick factory now. Will employees be fired if they raise any objections?
If the request is too much, then it's okay to say it, but if you just give an opinion and you're fired, Fang Yuan won't allow it.
What he wants is a long-term development of the red brick factory, rather than being dictated by some people.
"Really, really?"
The three people's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe what Fang Yuan said.
"Just follow me and you'll find out."
Fang Yuan smiled.
Set off with Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing.
The red brick factory and cement factory are both in the suburbs of Xinfeng County, but they are not far from here.
The three of them looked at each other and immediately followed Fang Yuan.
Among them, the hundred yuan banknote that was collected from Fang Yuan just now was taken out and returned to Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan didn't accept it and still let them hold it.
Not long after, Fang Yuan and others arrived at the entrance of the red brick factory.
Like the institute, the red brick factory is designed to be surrounded by one in and out.
The gate has a guardrail, the kind used in war, which is only open when commuting.
When Fang Yuan arrived, the guardrail was closed and there were two temporary security guards standing at the door.
Temporary security guards are those recruited separately in Xinfeng County, not those trained by Fang Yuan.
"Who is coming?"
"We don't welcome people waiting around here!"
The security guard standing guard shouted.
"I am Fang Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and I want your factory director to come see me."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two temporary security guards and the three former employees of the red brick factory suddenly lost their composure and looked at Fang Yuan with wide eyes, full of disbelief.
"You, please wait a moment, I will report it right away."
The two security guards standing guard looked at each other and said tremblingly.
Among them, one person left and the other opened the guardrail for Fang Yuan.
