Although the motivations were different, the consistency of purpose made this troop deployment plan very smooth.
"My dear Sirs, whether it is a workshop city or a mining city, from the day it was established, I have never thought of making it a royal palace, nor have I intended it to be a private territory."
"This is also the reason why many courtiers have been involved since the beginning. The reason why I did it in the name of a merchant was to avoid being blocked by the court and not being able to implement my management philosophy well."
It’s really embarrassing!
When this proposal was discussed in the political hall, Fu Bi felt that he could talk openly and honestly with the officials. But Wen Yanbo and Han Qi thought it was not possible, so they could only use the officials' desire for Dali to move the workshop city and mining city.
So as to explore the bottom line of the official family.
Unexpectedly, the officials saw their thoughts clearly. After passing a series of troop deployment plans, they told them about the Workshop City and Mining City without saving any face.
"Now, whether it is a workshop city or a mining city, it has grown to the extent that the imperial court pays attention to it, and it is time for the imperial court to pay attention to it."
"Since the imperial court intends to take over, there is no need to just mobilize the defenders. We can start to take over the two cities in an all-round way."
How shameless!
It wasn't just Fu Bi who felt guilty. Even Wen Yanbo and Han Qi, who were extremely suspicious of the officials' intentions, also felt deeply guilty.
It seems that I really thought too much.
"I hope Your Majesty will make it clear how to receive it."
Fu Bi was solemn at this moment. He felt that he should be solemn, and the official family could bear his solemnity.
The new emperor has been on the throne for more than a year, and Fu Bi has been watching for more than a year. He has been judging Zhao Xi's transformation from the prince to the official role, and is not sure whether the official can maintain the sincerity he had when he was the prince.
Don't be surprised, there have been so many emperors throughout the ages. The change in the roles of the Prince of the East Palace and the emperor is also a change in the style of conduct.
Not to mention, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and Taizong of the previous dynasty were both amazing and talented emperors. Their behavior after taking the throne was completely different from when they were in charge of the East Palace.
Fu Bi's attitude towards the political affairs hall has always been vague. He looked at the court as well as the official family.
At this moment, Fu Bi decided that as the prime minister, he must cooperate with the officials to achieve the revival of the Song Dynasty!
Even if he cannot get the support of the civil servant group, he will still do this.
"Gongfang City is relatively complex, involving construction, commerce, tax revenue, armaments and even people's livelihood and education, etc. I don't agree with accepting it casually."
"The imperial court can set Gongfang City as an auxiliary city of Bianliang. The departments involved in Gongfang City will be arranged by the imperial court to settle in the city and prepare to build the Gongfang City Yamen."
"I suggest that the Gongfang City should be positioned second only to Bianliang, equivalent to Shangzhou Fuyamen. The first manager should be Han Zhen."
"Xue Xiang takes the post of Deputy Envoy of the Third Department and is in charge of the affairs of the Workshop City. Su Song is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and is in charge of all construction matters of the Workshop City. Li Jie takes the post of General Supervisor and is in charge of the affairs of the Workshop City. At the same time, he is transferred
Officials from the imperial court will be assigned to Gongfang City to manage the Yamen."
"This is a special yamen, one that focuses on construction, commerce and some professional ability training."
In Zhao Xi's concept, Gongfang City is a development zone for future generations, a national-level development zone.
Although it is difficult to use the term "Later Generations", all authority and functional department configurations are completely set according to the "Later Generations Development Zone".
After Zhao Xi came up with the plan for setting up the government offices in Gongfang City and Mining City, Fu Bi and others completely understood... They were no longer villains!
If we had known that the officials were ready to let go of these two cities, why would Zhengshitang have to play these tricks in front of the officials?
What a slap in the face! No mercy left at all.
The existence of Gongfang City is clear to the entire court. It is not only the official attention, but also the most important place for the country. The treatment of Gongfang City is even different from that of the court.
This is a delicious pastry...
Zhao Xi did not settle everything in detail. Since it was to be handed over to the court, some things should be done by the court, and some rights should also be given to the court.
If you speak less, the court will be wary of going too far in terms of corruption for personal gain.
In this way, under the pressure of letting go and holding back, the imperial court can also formulate a relatively fair selection standard.
Zhao Xi doesn't expect to be absolutely fair, it's impossible.
Fortunately, no matter whether it is the Workshop City or the Mining City, there are too many courtiers involved in the interests, and no one can see the sand in their eyes. To complete the establishment of the Yamen in these two cities, it is definitely a big exchange of interests.
One thing is certain, the more officials or interested parties involved, the more fair it will be when forming a yamen.
No one is worried about the outcome of this campaign, as it seems that winning this war is the right thing to do. Even the imperial court is preparing to have the Mining City Yamen established as soon as possible so that they can rush to Mining City with the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Zhao Qin is very busy these days, Cao Xiang is also very busy these days, and even Liu Rui, the internal eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen is also very busy.
They have a lot to do in the restructuring of the workshop city and mining city, and they even have considerable say in the selection of officials.
"The official family, sister of the Su family intends to let uncle Guo settle in Gongfang City to assist Han Fuzun..."
Zhao Qin knew her role very well. Even if she was making all the changes outside, as long as she was in the inner garden, her status was still inferior to that of the noble concubine Su.
Outside, even in the homes of the husband-in-law, they will give themselves a bit of a thumbs-down on some things, because they are businessmen's business.
But in terms of status, she was always incomparable to Concubine Su. She had no status... The officials offered to give it, but neither the Empress Dowager nor the court would allow it.
She accepted her fate. She was no worse than a noble concubine if she could survive. Even the care of her natal family was much simpler than that of a noble concubine. At least there were not many censors watching.
But Concubine Su wanted to contribute to the officials in Gongfang City, and she did not dare to make the decision without authorization.
"Uncle Guo? Su Ziyuan?"
"Back to the official's house, yes."
Su Ziyuan is now regarded as a fifth-grade official, an assistant officer in Zhongzhou... He has only been on the throne for more than a year, and he has not taken any care of Su's natal family.
According to the old tradition, when the Su family canonized the concubine, the Su family's chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
However, the old father-in-law received the imperial reward himself, but asked his son to reject the imperial reward.
It was also used as a good talk in the court.
Guangnan was in turmoil. The Su family had experienced Nong Zhigao's rebellion. They were worried that their family would suffer from this turmoil, not only their reputation, but their lives.
Ordinarily, with Su's carefree temperament, she shouldn't have thought of this.
"Qin'er, when you are engaged in business, it is not appropriate to get involved in court disputes. When it comes to the appointment of officials in Gongfang City, stay neutral, try not to get involved, and listen more and watch more."
"As for the Su family... let me go and talk! Also, I would like to warn Liu Rui and Cao Xiang not to stretch their hands too far!"
Zhao Xi dislikes merchants influencing the affairs of court officials. This is a taboo!
But we also know that when it comes to the issue of Workshop City, we cannot completely ignore merchants. After all, it started with merchants.
"Third brother, it's not the sister of the Su family who requested it, but Mother Tao who thinks that since the uncle of the Su family intends to establish himself in the court with his own strength, Gongfang City is the best position."
Sure enough, seeing Su's embarrassed look, Tao Niang told the truth.
"There's no need to let Zhao Qin get involved, just follow the normal procedure! With Su's excuse, Ziyuan already has an advantage, there's no need to add any unnecessary extravagance."
