Wang was stunned. He didn't expect Li Mu to be so direct to them. Li Mu was also a little confused, and he didn't expect that he actually said what was in his heart! The two looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.
"Ah ha ha ha..." Li Mugan smiled and put the mood back, saying: "Are you just kidding me? Your Majesty, you can't take a joke, can you?"
"How can I not be able to joke? I am the person who likes to joke the most, hahaha." Wang cursed in his heart, but still had a warm look on his face, and said: "Master Marquis, I just heard you say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to employ people. Why not?
Tell me earlier, if you want to employ people, why go to those merchants? How knowledgeable they are. If we talk about young talents, which of you here doesn’t have a group of people in your family? Why bother looking far away from the near? "
Li Mu chuckled and said: "It's not to sacrifice the near for the distant, but to give people some motivation. These partners in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are not short of money. Behind the scenes, you people are controlling. Life is boring, I will give them
Only with a little new hope can they have more energy and enthusiasm to do things. Wouldn't it be wonderful for a mere petty official to win people's hearts? And there is another thing, I just forgot to mention that most officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs
There is no salary."
"Ah?" The king was dumbfounded, and so were the others. What? No salary? Although most officials don't live by their salary, they must have a salary. The right way is to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor.
It's a matter of fact. You don't want to give me a salary, but you still want someone to serve you?
Li Mu explained with a smile, "Most officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs earn commissions."
Wang didn't understand and wondered: "What is commission?"
"To put it simply, it means how capable you are and how much money you earn. It may vary from nothing to nothing, but it depends on your ability. Moreover, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are employed on a recruitment basis. If they perform well and get along well, they will
If it's not good, or if you mess up the matter, get out immediately. After all, if I have a bad temper, if it makes me upset, some bad things may happen. They are all the children of the Jingui family. If anything happens, it will not be good.
"
"..." Wang was speechless. At this moment, he suddenly regretted saying this. What's the point of being an official under such conditions? He suddenly felt pity for the merchants on the first floor. He thought he had picked up a big deal.
Cheap, but actually a big pitfall.
Just when he was thinking about how to step down, Wei Zheng suddenly spoke.
"Being from Shandong, does the Ministry of Internal Affairs want you?"
Wang was shocked and thought to himself, what is going on, Wei Zheng wants to get involved!
Li Mu treated everyone equally and said: "I am from Shandong, and I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Why don't I want it as long as it is a talent? If it is not a talent, I will pay for it. If the compensation is enough, I will also want it. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a place for business.
Let money speak for itself more than anything else."
Wei Zheng was also very straightforward and said: "How much is it?"
"The registration fee is one hundred guan, but whether I use it or not depends on my ability and my mood. The ugly thing is, if you are not selected, the registration fee will not be refunded. Think about it before you come back."
"I understand." Wei Zheng nodded and said, "I will deliver it to your residence tomorrow."
"Why did you send it to my residence? You want to frame me? If I accept it, you will let that Wang Jingze impeach me again. I will not fall into your trick and send the money to the Ministry of Industry and give it to your daughter. She
Now she is my secretary, and all these things are in her charge."
Wei Zheng suddenly became expressionless when he heard Li Mu mention his daughter. Everyone looked at him with a hint of strangeness. Who didn't know that Wei Zheng kicked his daughter out of the house, but Li Mu took her in?
His daughter, who doesn't have the heart to gossip, is unavoidable.
Wei Zheng couldn't stand the attention of everyone, so he stopped eating. He stood up and said, "I have something to do at the Yushitai, so I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow, Zhuluhou."
Li Mu didn't stop him, called the waiter, and ordered a portion of vinegar and celery to be packed and delivered to Wei Zheng's house.
Seeing everyone's eyes looking over, Li Mu greeted again: "Everyone has a nice meal and a drink. Don't be polite. If you have anything to do, leave first. We are all so familiar with each other, so there is no need to be restrained."
Wang had just finished half of what he said and was really embarrassed to continue asking, so he had to wink at Changsun Wuji. When he heard Li Mu say about the "employment system" and no "salary", he was already planning to give up. But because of Wei Zheng's joining,
I felt that there must be some benefits that I had not thought of yet, so I hesitated again.
The person who was also confused was Changsun Wuji. After listening to Li Mu's words, he knew that the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not good enough. Such an official could deceive the merchants, but it was not a good choice for the children of the aristocratic family. From then on,
After all, business is a humble industry. Even though he has money and power, he is still inferior to others in the circle of nobles. It would be okay if he came from a side branch, but Li Mu has already stated that he only wants talents, so this will be very difficult.
It's not that the side branch concubines don't have talents, but they are worried that Li Mu will make a fuss about his background, and the lion will ask for money, which will be more difficult to handle.
As for the situation of not asking for money, Changsun Wuji didn't think about it at all. Li Mu had become the Minister-in-Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and all he talked about was money.
"Li Mu, don't beat around the bush. What are the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and what requirements do you have? Let's have a good chat. We don't have to go around in circles like this and get exhausted."
Everyone nodded. Li Mu had too many thoughts. A battle of wits and courage would consume too many brain cells. It would be better to keep it simple.
"This is what Uncle Guo has said. Call others, don't expect me to say a word." Li Mu first complimented him, and then said: "The regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were only finalized recently, and I haven't had time to report them to Your Majesty.
Let me tell everyone about it today."
“My plan is to have nine bureaus and one bureau under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, namely, Guangzhou Prefecture Bureau, Imperial Property Bureau, Accounting Bureau, Construction Bureau, Patent Office, Printing Bureau, Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Salesian Bureau, Fengchen Bureau.
, is naturally the Jin Yiwei. You can also tell from the names of the specific functions of the yamen gate. The chief of each bureau is called the director, which corresponds to the sixth-grade official position. Below the director, there are two levels, one is "
"Department", the second is "Section", which corresponds to the seventh-grade and eighth-grade official positions respectively. Thirdly, there are the heads of each department, which correspond to the ninth-grade official positions."
Changsun Wuji was secretly frightened. Li Mu was very ambitious. According to what he said, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was like a small imperial court. Except for the power of punishment and naming, it had almost everything the imperial court had!
He understood this section, but he did not point it out. He expected that if Li Mu dared to say it in public, he must have already been angry with Li Shimin. Since it was something Li Shimin approved of, there must be an unknown purpose of the emperor behind it, so he still
It’s better to keep a respectful distance.
Changsun Wuji thought for a while and asked: "Why are there no fourth or fifth-rank official positions? Your brother has been granted a fifth-rank official position."
Li Mu gave a bitter smile and said: "Uncle Guo really thinks highly of me. My brother can be awarded the fifth rank. That is not my face, but the face of Hejian County Prince. I was wrongly loved by Hejian County Prince and accepted me."
That brother was his godson, and that's why he got this fifth-grade official position. The rumors in the market are not trustworthy and are too exaggerated."
Changsun Wuji thought to himself, I believed your lies, what kind of rumors are there? Datang Daily is under your control, what are the rumors among the people, is it not you who has the final say?
He did not dwell on this matter, but said: "If the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranges it this way, it seems a bit unbalanced. You are the minister in charge of the third grade, so you must have some helpers. Chong'er is your disciple, if you don't
If you don't like it, how about I go and plead with His Majesty and ask Chong'er to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help you?"
Wang secretly thought that Changsun Wuji had indeed taken action. Although he didn't know what Changsun Wuji was thinking, he felt that he could not fall behind, so he quickly pulled Wang Pu over and said: "Master Hou, my brother and you"
Li Mu waved his hand to interrupt the two of them, and said: "My good disciple Chang Sun Chong and my good friend Wang Pu have long been my favorite candidates. However, if they are to be sixth-rank officials, their talents seem a bit too much.
Qu Cai. But if we go further, I'm afraid Your Majesty, alas! Even if His Majesty agrees, will the Civil and Military Council of the Manchu Dynasty agree? The Ministry of Internal Affairs is already the target of public criticism. If there are another group of fourth- and fifth-grade officials, the government and the opposition will not be able to say: Look.
Look at that Li Mu, he is planning to rebel and create a small court!"
Li Mu frowned and said, "If that's the case, what can I do? I'm scared now, I can't stand any more trouble!"
The king hurriedly said: "The Marquis is dedicated to your majesty and the country. Who dares to talk nonsense? How can those idle people in Yushitai understand the hard work of the Marquis? The Marquis is a person who does great things, and there is no need to let the villain go.
In my heart!"
Anyway, Wei Zheng has left, and among the remaining people, no one dares to steal him, and they are not afraid even if he says so.
Changsun Wuji thought more. He was not worried that Li Mu would be the target of public criticism. He was already one anyway. He was worried about whether his son would be implicated by Li Mu. But no matter how he thought about it, it was because there was no such shop in this village.
Regarding the matter, he hesitated again and again, and finally said: "How can you be afraid of people's words when you serve the imperial court? As long as you are willing to take a group of people with you, I will go and talk to His Majesty."
Li Mu hesitated, and after a long time he said: "My good disciple is good at everything, but his weight is just...too clumsy. And he hasn't started training yet. Last time I asked him to accompany the Crown Prince Gao Chang, and there was nothing wrong with him."
Do a good job...If he is not qualified, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of my uncle if he starts talking about it."
Fortunately, Changsun Chong is not here today, otherwise he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Changsun Wuji understood what Li Mu meant. He was saying, since you have to let your son be this official, then he should be, but if he does not do well and is embarrassed, it has nothing to do with me, Li Mu.
What a treacherous boy!
Changsun Wuji endured this bad breath and said: "He is your disciple. If he is not qualified, don't be polite. Just rebuke him as you have to."
The implication is, I'm counting on you, don't even think about running away!
