After seeing Zhang He off, Zhao Jun was drinking tea and thinking.
What he said today can roughly make Zhang He understand his attitude.
Zhao Jun has no sense of trust in the current group of officials.
As the old saying goes, don't use people you doubt, but don't trust people you employ.
But the premise is that the person you want to use can make you doubtless.
Sorry, it's really hard for people not to be suspicious of this batch of people he has.
But Zhao Jun can only reluctantly use Xian at the moment.
But this situation cannot continue. If Zhao Jun wants to achieve anything big, he still needs the whole country to work together, but he can't cooperate well with these insects, so he has to build a team that he can not doubt, a team A team of officials that I can trust.
Then, the influx of new blood is natural.
At present, the most suitable person for Zhao Jun is of course the fresh blood of Yunzhou County, which was established by himself and full of his own ideas.
Officials from different places are naturally very compatible with themselves, and it is much easier to use them than other people.
Today, he called Zhang He. In addition to letting him know the attitude of the people of Yunzhou County towards their officials and the reasons why Yunzhou County maintains its autonomy, the most important thing was to give him a vaccination.
Let him be prepared in his mind, know what he is going to do, and not to make trouble for himself. He has good reasons to do these things.
In the Song Dynasty, the prime minister was usually the second-in-command. Although the first-in-command had a higher status, it would be troublesome if the second-in-command did not cooperate with the first-in-command, so those who should be ventilated still needed to be ventilated.
But for Zhao Jun, he will not be restrained. I have informed you that as long as you agree, it doesn't matter if you disagree, I will still do it.
There is only one reason that gives Zhao Jun such confidence, he has soldiers in his hands!
Military power is his confidence.
…
Outside the palace, Zhang He, who had just come out of the palace, looked back at the tall and majestic palace and sighed.
Since taking over today, he feels like he has become a puppet.
Jinshang is very opinionated, but he cannot figure out the new emperor's thoughts, and he is always led by the nose.
However, the previous methods were unable to do this, because the opponent had military power in his hands. This was a horse-riding emperor who had been on the battlefield, and was not comparable to those of the Wen Emperor.
I'm afraid that in his heart, his prime minister is not as high as those generals.
Today this person is informing himself, and he can naturally see this.
Not willing?
Maybe, but so what?
Now is no longer my time, maybe it’s time for me to retire...
Zhang He's eyes were gradually filled with memories, his vision became blurred, and scenes from his childhood appeared in front of him.
The Zhang family, which has a family history of farming and studying, is considered a moderate family in the local area.
They have no worries about food and clothing, but they are not rich.
When he was young, in addition to studying, he followed his father to the fields for regular field inspections.
The golden fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and the rustling sound of the wind immediately echoes in the ears, and the entire rice field will turn into a golden ocean with waves of "waves".
From time to time, birds would rise from it, and the angry servants would keep chasing them away.
Two big dogs raised at home, one yellow and one white, kept chasing and quarreling around him. From time to time, they would suddenly run away from him, and when they came back, they already had a dusty gray rabbit in their mouths to please him. in front of him.
That day there will be an extra rabbit dish on the dining table at home. The smell of braised rabbit legs makes people salivate just thinking about it.
The homesickness suddenly rose at this moment.
…
At the end of February, Yunzhou's first team was finally about to arrive in Bianjing.
Early in the morning, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue led a group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue to take leave, completing the image of a large hole missing in the section of the Ministry of Revenue in the court hall.
At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue had been led by Cui Wen, the Minister, to guard the city gate, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the motorcade.
The hard work paid off, and finally, just as we were about to reach Chenshi, the first person appeared on the horizon of the official road in the distance, followed closely by the second, and the third...
A huge motorcade appeared in front of everyone.
Five hundred carriages stretched out for nearly three miles, surrounded by thousands of elite cavalry wearing armor to protect and alert all those with evil intentions around them.
The leader, wearing official robes and riding a white horse, was talking to the people next to him. Suddenly he saw a group of people wearing purple official robes waiting there at the gate.
When he came to the scene, he saw clearly that the leader of the group of people wearing official robes actually wore a gold hairpin hat!
This is a hat that can only be worn by officials of the second or higher rank in the imperial court!
The man riding the white horse at the head immediately dismounted, raised his hands and announced his family status: "I have met all the superior officials. I am here, Gu Zhong, the chief financial officer of Yunzhou County, who has sent official silver to the capital according to the emperor's destiny. May I ask who your superior officials are?"
"Who is the Financial Secretary?"
An old man with a gray beard suddenly asked a question. It was Cui Wen who was wearing a gold hairpin hat.
Gu Zhongdang immediately introduced: "The first level of the department is the unique official level of our Yunzhou County. Below the Shou Chengwei are the chief officials of each department, and below that are our chief clerks and below.
Our Finance Department is in charge of the collection, planning and storage of fiscal and tax expenditures in Yunzhou County. "
"Oh, it has the same function as our household department, but it's just a small system unique to your Yunzhou County, right?"
Cui Wen roughly understood the situation.
Gu Zhong nodded and admitted: "Exactly, may I ask Shangguan?"
"Bold! This is Cui Wen, the Minister of Household Affairs, Mr. Cui. How dare you, the chief registrar of a mere county, take the initiative to ask the Minister for his name?"
Before Cui Wen could say anything, an official from the Household Department suddenly yelled.
Cui Wen's face suddenly darkened, and Gu Zhong's face also turned ugly, and he looked over immediately.
Seeing that it was a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, he immediately sneered and said:
"This superior officer is too contemptuous of the lower officer. Even though the lower officer has a low official position, he is here under the emperor's order, so the safety of the convoy is his top priority.
All the superior officers are here to intercept me. Naturally, I want to ask each of them what their surnames are. If you are not clear, we can only identify you as bandits who robbed the official silver. At that time, we can directly send troops to clear out the officials. Paid! "
Even though he knew that these people in front of him were from the Ministry of Revenue, Gu Zhong didn't have the slightest fear. As long as you do your job correctly in Yunzhou County, you don't have to grovel in front of anyone. This is His Majesty the current Emperor. My own words.
Because of this, in Yunzhou County's officialdom, as long as you make no mistakes in your job, no official is afraid of his superiors. Even if a superior official dares to make trouble for nothing, the official can complain to the superior of the Qing Ji Division.
Once found out, the Shangguan will be punished.
It ranges from a fine to a severe penalty, including dismissal from office.
Therefore, when facing these big bosses from the household department, although Gu Zhong respects their official positions, he is not afraid of them!
You are so loud and angry, you are a superior officer and I respect you, but if you are looking for trouble for nothing, then I will not be afraid of you!
It’s a hard fight from the front!
"You! Presumptuous!"
The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks is a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Looking at this bumpkin from Yunzhou County, it seems that the Financial Secretary is still the same functional agency of their Ministry of Household Affairs, which means that there is a high probability that it will be under the control of their Department of Household Affairs. The head clerk actually dared to contradict him, and he immediately became angry and wanted to yell and curse.
At this time, Cui Wen suddenly spoke: "Zhang Shen, shut up!"
Zhang Shen looked at his minister in shock: "Cui Shangshu, he..."
Cui Wen scolded him with a cold face: "I came here on the emperor's order, so you are so rude!"
After saying that, he ignored him, turned around and said to Gu Zhong with a smile: "It's been a hard journey all the way, I guess there must be some silver in this convoy, I'll lead the way, let's go back to the household department first.
This money can't stop here, it's not safe. "
Cui Wen looked at the long motorcade, his eyes full of little stars.
The corner of Gu Zhong's mouth twitched, but he still said: "Shang Shu Cui, I'm afraid I can't go to the Ministry of Revenue at this time. I'm here on the order of the emperor. I need to make an appointment with your majesty. Only after your majesty checks, can the money enter the city. Please forgive Cui Shangshu."
"this……"
Cui Wen thought he could directly go to the Ministry of Finance, but he couldn't help but be disappointed.
But he still said: "In that case, Mr. Gu should go and deliver the errand as soon as possible. I will be waiting here."
Gu Zhong was very surprised, but he still bowed his hand and then led the people to check the identity documents and quickly entered the city towards the palace.
The convoy pulled over and was guarded by the cavalry. No one was allowed to get close, including Cui Wen who couldn't help but want to take a look.
