Yu Wengui had been waiting at the door. When he saw Li Mu coming out, he quickly went to greet him.
"Sir, please move to the official's office. The official has already called all the officials from the Ministry of Works and are waiting for your instructions."
Li Mu nodded approvingly. Ever since Yu Wengui became enlightened, he has been doing things more and more decently.
When they arrived at Yu Wengui's official room, they saw three benches in the room, with several official-looking people sitting there. When they saw Li Mu coming in, several people stood up and bowed as if they had rehearsed.
He saluted and said, "I have seen the minister!"
Yu Wengui brought a chair and placed it in the middle. Li Mu sat down politely, looked at everyone and said, "Let's all sit down. From now on, we are all our own people, so there is no need to be too restrained."
No one dared to move, and their attitude became more and more respectful: "I don't dare, please give me instructions, sir."
"Let you sit down!"
Of all the people present, Yu Wengui was the one who had the most contact with Li Mu. He was familiar with his temper. Hearing this tone, he knew he was a little impatient. He hurriedly said: "Since the Lord Assistant has offered to sit down, then sit down. Why are you hesitating?"
Only then did everyone sit down.
Li Mu scanned everyone's expressions, took them all in his eyes, and said, "Do you all know His Majesty's will?"
Everyone replied in unison: "I know!"
"The reform of the Ministry of Industry is imperative. Thanks to His Majesty's trust in entrusting me with this important task, I deeply feel that the responsibility is heavy and I must personally promote the reform. Those who I think are hindering the reform, Your Majesty has cleared them out of the Ministry of Industry
The people left now are all those who I think are useful. But don’t think that everything will be safe if you are left here this time. The Ministry of Industry will no longer be the Ministry of Works of the past.
There is no waiting to die, no free food! If anyone cannot do what his position should do, I will fire him. I hope you can understand this."
No one dared to speak up, so Li Mu continued: "The Ministry of Works is at the bottom among the six ministries. Most of the officials in the Ministry of Works have no background. Even those who were fired have some background.
, are also unpopular people in their respective forces. They have left the Ministry of Works, and now the officials in the Ministry of Works have no background. You know in your mind, as to why I did this..."
Li Mu suddenly raised his voice and said: "...I just want to tell you that in the future in the Ministry of Industry, qualifications and background will be useless. I only see your ability, and I only want to see your ability. Don't follow
I'm talking about favors, don't have a relationship with me, and don't make excuses with me. As long as I think you are incompetent, you have only two options, one is to be demoted, and the other is to be fired. Of course, you can also impeach me.
, do whatever you want, but before your impeachment is successful, you must do what I say!"
"I don't dare!"
Yu Wengui was observing the words and expressions beside him. Seeing that Li Muxun was done, he quickly handed over the roster.
"Sir, this is the list of all officials from the Ministry of Industry starting from you down. They are all here."
"Well," Li Mu took it in his hand, opened it and looked at it, and said: "The Ministry of Industry has four divisions, the Ministry of Industry, the Farming Division, the Yubu Division, and the Water Ministry Division. Each has one doctor and one outsider. In addition to the work department,
Except for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, each department has two chiefs. After I fired the two chiefs of the Ministry of Works, the vacancies were not filled. Adding the five people fired today, there are seven vacancies in total. They are the chief of the Ministry of Works.
There are two people, one is the doctor of the field, one is the head of the field, two are the heads of the Yu Department, and one is the head of the Water Department."
"This reform mainly involves the Ministry of Industry and the Farming Department. The Yu Department is also involved, but very little. The Ministry of Water Resources is basically unchanged. The main structure of the Ministry of Industry also needs to be streamlined slightly. There is not so much spare money, and it cannot be maintained.
There are so many people.”
"Yu Wengui, the foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry, I have recommended to your Majesty to appoint him as the doctor of the Ministry of Industry. The position of foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry was promoted by Gongsun Kang, the head of the Ministry of Works. There is only one seat left for the chief, which is appointed by Yu Wengui. Chen Xian, the foreign minister of the Tuntian
, you temporarily take the post of Tuntian Langzhong, and I will hand over the management of the Tuntian Division to you. I will discuss with you individually how to do it. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations. The remaining chief of the Tuntian Division will be promoted to the rank of Tuntian Yuanwailang.
, you can choose a capable person to be in charge. Lu Wenfeng, the doctor in the Yu Department, you will still be the doctor in the Yu Department, and the Yuanwai Lang will not change. You can also choose the person you need and promote a person in charge. The Ministry of Water is not available for the time being.
Making changes will not make up for the loss of one principal."
"From now on, each of the four divisions will have a doctor, a member of staff, and a chief. This can clarify responsibilities and avoid mutual blame. The court can also pay one less salary. As for the printing supervisor and the agricultural equipment supervisor, I have another
The arrangement is no longer under the Department of the Ministry of Industry. Your Majesty has given me the right to appoint and remove officials of the Ministry of Industry below the sixth rank. The chief officer is the ninth rank. If there are candidates for each department, I will inform you. For the positions of Yuanwailang and Langzhong, I
I will observe it for a period of time, and at the appropriate time, I will report your Majesty's recommendation to you. Just do your job well, and there is no need to ask any more questions. Are you clear?"
"I understand."
Everyone agreed with a roar, and Li Mu handed the roster to Yu Wengui and said: "I have discussed it with Lord Shangshu. In three to five days, the official office of the Ministry of Industry will be moved to the craftsman's workshop. The new official office of the Ministry of Industry is almost completed, and each department
There are separate official rooms. In addition, next to the official office of the new Ministry of Industry, there is also a "Ministry of Industry Compound", which has built some residences for officials of the Ministry of Industry. If you need it, you can apply to Yu Wengui.
If you meet a few basic conditions, you can move here and live there.”
Seeing everyone's happy expressions, Li Mu added: "The ugly thing is, the real estate is not given to you. The real estate of the entire craftsman's workshop belongs to the Ministry of Industry. If you are in office, you have the right to live there. If you are not in office, you will have to move out.
You must make a clear distinction. Yu Wengui will explain the specific rules to you clearly."
Li Mu has already said everything that should be explained clearly in front of everyone. The rest of the things need to be discussed alone. At present, there are not enough staff in each department, so talking is in vain. Therefore, Li Mu did not say anything more and asked each department to hurry up.
Time is given to fill up the vacancies. All vacancies must be filled before moving to the new Ministry of Industry and Works official office.
After the arrangements were made, Li Mu and Li Chongyi left. The officials sent Li Mu off and turned around to surround Yu Wengui. Li Mu heard this from a distance, shook his head, flicked his whip, and asked the horse to go faster.
I'm a little hungry and want to get home early for dinner.
At this time, in Huaide Square next to the West Market, a group of fur traders who had just rented the backyard yesterday were also making a fire to cook.
The way they cook is a little different. The cook tears up the beef jerky he brought and throws it into the pot. He then adds water, dried vegetables, and a sauce made from something unknown and mixes it. After the water boils,
It was just a pot of broth. Everyone took a bowl, and it was paired with dry and hard steamed buns. It wasn't delicious, but it wasn't bad either.
There are three rooms in the backyard of this house. Half of the rooms on both sides are filled with valuable furs, and the other half is used for people to live in. You can keep an eye on the goods at any time. The rest of the furs, vehicles and livestock are placed in the yard, and there is a special room for keeping watch.
In the middle room, lived the leader of this group of fur traders.
At this time, in the middle room, the leader of the leather merchant was having a meeting with several leaders of the caravan. Everyone looked unhappy and gloomy.
"We have always done business with border towns, and this is the first time we have come to Chang'an. I have long heard that Chang'an is rich, and it is true when I see it today. The West Market is so big, and there are many merchants selling furs. Although our fur products are not weak
We are not interested in any family, but unfortunately we don’t recognize anyone, so we can’t even set up a stall. However, a dealer contacted me and wanted to buy our leather goods, but the price was 30% lower than what was sold in the border town... We
When I came to Chang'an, I wanted to sell more money, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing."
The speaker was an old man. As he spoke, he glanced at the caravan leader sitting in the middle and complained: "We have not agreed to come to Chang'an for a long time. How about waiting in the stockade for the fur traders to collect our goods like in previous years?"
, I have wasted so much energy, and everyone is eating horse chews all the way, what are you trying to do..."
Someone on the other side also answered: "We also think what Old Hu said is reasonable. We don't know anyone in Chang'an. Even if someone offers a suitable price, we don't dare to trade with him. What should we do if we are cheated?"
, can I still file a lawsuit?"
A person next to the leader of the caravan couldn't help it anymore and said: "You are all starting to shirk now. That's not what you said when the young lady proposed to come to Chang'an. Now that you have encountered difficulties, you have put yourself at the mercy of others."
Take it out, don't you want the lady to bear your losses?"
"How can you talk? Everyone is begging for food from Zhangjiazhai. We don't have the right to refuse what Miss Zhang says. We all have to listen. Even if we don't want to come, we don't dare to say it.
Bit, do you think so?"
A man answered in an angry tone: "Isn't that true? Who dares to say? In the past few years, Village Leader Zhang's temper has gotten worse and worse. I don't know if it's because he can't give birth to a son. Haha..."
"Crack!" There was a sound of whip!
"Oh, you dare to hit someone?!" The man who was so angry just now covered his face, pointed at the woman sitting in the middle, and said: "We are all your elders. We have followed your father through life and death. Which one is your turn to crack the whip? You
…”
Zhang Tianai took back the whip and said without even looking at him: "I brought you to Chang'an, and I will take you back too. The quality of our leather goods is not bad, I don't believe we can't sell it. Just wait a few more days
God, if you still can't find a suitable buyer, your low three-level achievement will be reduced by 30%. No matter how much you pay, it will all come from my Zhang family. It's a shame that you still know that you are following my Zhang family to make a living. Whoever dares to talk nonsense again, be careful with my hands.
The whip in it!"
When everyone saw that Zhang Tianai was angry, they were so scared that they shut their mouths. Even the sinister man was afraid of Zhang Tianai's force and did not dare to speak out anymore.
Just when the atmosphere was awkward, there was a knock on the back door. The waiter who was eating outside went to open the door, said a few words, and ran over and said: "Chief, leaders, the tooth man who helped us yesterday is here again.
It’s said that there is a noble person who wants to acquire the skin! He wants a large amount, and he said that if he wins the prize, we can buy more than a dozen cars!”
Several leaders looked at each other, and the old bearded man who spoke first said, "Is there a scam?"
Zhang Tianai ignored him, waved his hand and said: "Tell him to come in!"
