Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh Chen Lifu is a talent
The Navy must build a large number of battleships, especially battleships, and strive to have more than twenty battleships in the main fleet, coupled with a corresponding number of cruisers and frigates.
Build and expand various ports, including Lianzhou, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Nan'ao Island, Quanzhou, Mawei Port, Zhoushan, Wusong, Haizhou, Jiaozhou Bay, Weihaiwei, Penglai, Tianjin Dagukou and other coastal ports, and these ports are
Important coastal shipping points, ports can be used not only for military purposes but also for civilian purposes. In addition, there are inland river ports such as Zhaoqing, Jinling, and Jiujiang.
Among them, the focus is on the construction of three ports, namely Hong Kong, Wusong and Weihaiwei, which are only used for military purposes. The intention is to have a core large-scale military port in the south, central and north to be used as the main base of the navy!
You should know that although the scale of Guangzhou Port is much larger than that of Hong Kong, the headquarters of the Second Fleet is actually not established in Guangzhou, but in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the core port of the Second Fleet.
Whether it is building ships or repairing ports, these are things that cost money, and they cost a lot of money, so when Li Xuan saw the three-year development plan, he threw it away.
Are you kidding me? We are building a large navy now. Throwing all the more than 10 million taels of silver into it will not be enough. The navy needs to expand, but it must be done slowly, one step at a time. If the steps are too big, it is not possible to make a big mistake.
If you don't get the egg, you will definitely get the egg!
The ministries of the cabinet, the army, and the navy took turns to go into battle. Even the Guards did not dare to fall behind others. However, after all, they knew that their Guards were the direct lineage of the direct line. It would definitely not be without their own Guards if it was beneficial.
Army, so I still said a few words casually, but I didn’t say as much as the Army and Navy.
As these people opened their mouths to ask for money, Li Xuan naturally just listened casually. He still had to think about how to spend this windfall.
First of all, there is the water conservancy issue of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. I have to pay attention to this. There has been a lot of rain this year, and the flood control situation is not optimistic. If the Yellow River and the Yangtze River break their banks and cause widespread flooding, it will be over!
Although it is impossible to spend a lot of money to completely build large-scale water conservancy facilities, it is still possible to make repairs. Let’s not talk about other things for now. Let’s get through this year first.
As for the issue of official channels, let's stop here for a moment. Official channels are not very good. Although it will have some impact, it will be like that for a while, and no matter how bad it gets, it won't get much worse.
The education issue is very important. Only with schools can we cultivate talents, and only with talents can we carry out industrialization. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years to cultivate people. The education issue is very important, so Li Xuan decided to solve this problem later and not give money now!
The super railway plan proposed by the Ministry of Industry will go as far as it goes. As for the small railways in mining areas, ports, and industrial areas, let the local governments build them by themselves, and the central government will not give a cent.
Then there is the issue of official salary arrears. This can be given appropriately, but not more. At most, one million can be given, and no more. Anyway, no matter how much you give, it will not be enough. Let’s pay it in the form of national debt first.
Next comes the administrative funds of each ministry. Each one will be given a little token amount, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and no more. Even for the tax department, Li Xuan does not intend to give too much.
It would be nice to give an extra two to three hundred thousand.
On the military side, the Army gave them two million to expand their army, and the Navy gave them half a million to build a battleship and other battleships.
As for the Guards, I'll give you tens of thousands taels to expand the Guards' cavalry regiment.
Then Li Xuan calculated the remaining money, and found that there were still more than six million. This money was first saved as emergency funds to prepare for disaster relief and restoration of people's livelihood. With the expansion of the ruling area, although this year as a whole,
The weather is relatively smooth, but as China is so big, there will always be some natural disasters. In the past three days, we can receive a disaster report every two days, especially in Henan and Shandong, the situation is not very good.
In addition, I heard that the situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi is even worse. When the Tang Dynasty takes over the above two provinces, I am afraid that a lot of money will be invested in disaster relief.
This time, although the money received by each department is not much, it is better than nothing. Moreover, the money was obtained outside the budget, so the heads of various departments have been in a good mood in the past two days.
.
And they are still urging the tax department to dispose of the many fixed assets of the salt merchants as soon as possible to collect the funds, especially those useless gardens and curios. Sell them if you can, and sell them for money.
, how great it would be to be a source of various funds!
In the eyes of a group of money-losing cabinet ministers and military generals, those gardens, curios and other things are of no use. For the cabinet ministers, these ghosts cannot develop the economy and maintain local stability. For the military
As for the generals, this thing cannot support the army and fight. If one cannon is fired, no matter how beautiful and luxurious the garden is, it will be reduced to ruins!
In the current Tang Dynasty, in fact, whether it is the emperor Li Xuan or the civil servants and generals, they are all very realistic and do not like to play with imaginary things. They prefer real things, such as money!
After handling the division of the spoils, Li Xuan also noticed the key role in the Yangzhou salt merchant case: Chen Lifu!
To be honest, Li Xuan had no impression of this person at all before. After all, Chen Lifu was just an ordinary middle-level official, and there were not even ten thousand but eight thousand such middle-level officials in the entire Tang Dynasty, which was too many.
Generally speaking, in the Tang Dynasty, only those who reached the fourth rank and above were considered senior officials. Only then could there be a glimmer of hope to enter Li Xuan's sight, but it was only a small possibility.
If he hadn't held an important position, Li Xuan still wouldn't have known about it.
Generally speaking, Li Xuan only knows more about officials of the third rank and above, because the third-rank officials usually hold senior positions such as the directors of various ministries, the president of the Supervisory Council of each province, and the president of the Grand Court.
As for the third rank, they are basically the chief envoys of each province, the chief officials of some agencies directly under the cabinet, and senior officials such as the censors of the left and right of the Inspectorate.
From the second rank, they are already the core senior officials of ministers of various ministries, governors of provinces, left and right deputy governors of the Supervisory Council, and left and right vice presidents of the Grand Court.
Zheng Erpin, this is already the highest practical title that a civil servant can obtain in the Tang Dynasty, including ministers of various ministries, censors on the left and right of the Supervisory Council, and president of the Great Court.
From the first grade to the first grade, they are all honorary and fictitious titles. They mainly consist of three categories. For example, the three gongs and three orphans, the grand master, the Taifu, and the Taibao are all the first grade, which is the top title. Young master, young master.
Fu, Shaobao, as well as the Crown Prince Taishi, Crown Prince Taifu and Prince Taibao of the East Palace are all from the first rank, and finally the cabinet bachelor is from the first rank. Currently, there are six halls in the Tang Dynasty, but only three halls are actually awarded.
.
Then, the Prince's Young Master, the Prince's Young Master, and the Crown Prince's Young Protector are the virtual titles of the second rank. Although they are still virtual titles, their remuneration is half a level higher than that of the actual duties of the second rank, such as ministers of various ministries.
With the current constitution of the Tang Dynasty, there are quite a lot of officials. There are more than a dozen ministers alone and more than twenty ministers. As for the middle-level officials from the fourth rank to the seventh rank, there are even more.
Well, there were actually a lot of fifth-rank officials like Chen Lifu in the Tang Dynasty, especially in Jinling City, where they were everywhere.
These middle-level officials generally have no chance to come into contact with Li Xuan, and it is difficult for Li Xuan to hear their names, but now, Li Xuan has heard the name of Chen Lifu.
After carefully reading the report from Yangzhou and Chen Lifu's personal resume, Li Xuan felt that this Chen Lifu was really a talent. I won't mention his experience in the Qian Ming Dynasty. Anyway, he had not been an official for a few days in the Qian Ming Dynasty.
He was dismissed. However, after Mingzhishi officials joined the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty before last year, they almost maintained a posture of being promoted within a few months.
At least Li Xuan has never heard of it. There is also the former Ming Zhishi official who joined the Tang Dynasty and was promoted faster than him. As far as he knows, a large number of former Ming Zhishi officials recruited in Jiangnan last year are now basically all
Should they stay still? It is actually more difficult for them to get promoted than ordinary officials.
When promoting officials, they prefer to promote those who have passed the imperial examination. It would be better if they had gone to the Imperial College or the Young Military Camp, because these talents belong to their own people and did not join halfway.
Chen Lifu was able to get continuous promotion opportunities with a relatively poor background, which shows that this person is not an ordinary person!
But it was just a slight sigh, saying "This is a real talent", and then he threw Chen Lifu behind. However, this is still a big opportunity for Chen Lifu!
Who is Li Xuan?
The wise and great Eternal Saint King, who is greater than the sun, he speaks out and speaks to the letter. He said that Chen Lifu is a talent. So what will the people below think after hearing this? What else can they think? Promote Chen Lifu and reuse him.
!
Even several senior officials in the tax department are quite pleased that they have a talent under their command who can make His Majesty take a step forward, and their faces are also bright!
Ever since, Mrs. Chen Li was still handling follow-up matters in Jiangbei Province, and the big bosses in the tax department were ready to start adding more responsibilities to him!
An official document asked him to continue to inspect the taxation department in North Anhui Province. Well, the inspection in Jiangbei Province was not over yet, so he was asked to continue his inspection.
This means that Chen Lifu has to take care of the taxation in Wanbei Road and Jiangbei Road, two extremely important areas. Because Chen Lifu was promoted not long ago, it is impossible for him to be promoted in a short time, even if he is a talent.
, then you have to hone it, at least a few months!
At the same time, along with the appointment, Li Xuan's words "This is quite a talent" were also circulated. Without saying anything else, just by relying on such a sentence, everyone could tell that Chen Lifu's future was limitless.
