"Everyone should know that now I have to take care of the academy as well. With school starting soon, all kinds of affairs are busy and mixed, which consumes a lot of energy. The Ministry of War will inevitably have no time to take care of it. So, if there are any difficulties, let me tell you about them. Come out, I will solve them one by one today. I need to rely on all of you for your hard work and effort in daily affairs, and I will protect you all."
How many officers can say such domineering words as soon as they take office? In his eyes, it seems that nothing in this small military department can be called difficult at all, and all the difficult problems that you are unable to solve are a piece of cake in front of him.
In particular, this behavior of fully trusting his subordinates, being willing to take responsibility, and delegating power made everyone in the Ministry of War admire them and they were willing to serve.
Such a superior officer, what more could I ask for?
Guo Fushan and several principals looked at each other, and seeing that there was no more difficulty, he said to Fang Jun: "Don't worry, Prince Consort, we will do our best to handle the ministry affairs carefully, and there will be no mistakes. It's just the funding from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Why don't you think about it first and don't come to the door so directly? After all, it won't look good on you, and if you get in front of His Majesty, you will also be reprimanded."
Fang Jun waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "There is no need to say anything more about this matter. You are all dragged down by me. That Gao Jishi wants to retaliate against you and disgust me. Hum, this Gao Jiji looks like a What is the difference between a person who uses such despicable methods and a gangster in the market? In the eyes of this official, such a person is no different than a porcupine or a dog, so why should I care? I can’t make any noise out of him."
All the subordinates shut up.
This matter is indeed as Fang Jun said. It is basically Gao Xingcheng making trouble out of nothing and deliberately making things difficult. They can tolerate it, but how can Fang Jun tolerate it? If someone doesn't fight back, Fang Erlang may lose a lot of face if someone rides on him and dominates him.
Several people said in unison: "I obey the orders of my consort!"
You are the chief officer, you have the final say.
Fang Jun took a look at the sky outside and said: "Secretary Guo, please send someone to Songhe Tower to call for a few banquets. Ask for the best banquets and record them in your official account. If your colleagues in the ruling department have nothing important to do, At noon, I stayed in the office to drink, my official duties were fulfilled, and everyone was happy."
Although it is the "second entry into the palace", it is still regarded as a new official taking office. Having a dinner with colleagues to build closer relationships and enhance some prestige is the only way to win people over in the workplace. It has never been the same in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. yes.
Guo Fushan nodded and asked, "Don't you need a lower official to accompany you to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
Fang Jun pointed at Cui Dunli and said, "Master Cui just accompanies me."
"Here!"
The first meeting of the new official came to an end very quickly. Guo Fushan arranged for people to go to Songhe Tower to book a banquet. Du Zhijing and Liu Shi led people to deal with the ministry affairs and completed the urgent matters. At noon, the office staff gathered together for dinner, and Cui Dunli accompanied them. Jun walked out of the gate of the Ministry of War and rode straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
…
Gao Qingcheng worked hard all morning and finally finished handling the urgent business. He breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the duty room. He sat in the main hall with a cup of tea and looked at the yamen where people were coming and going. Although he was tired, he felt happy in his heart. Full of satisfaction.
Since Tang Jian reported illness and returned to his old age, he, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has taken over all the ministry affairs and replaced the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. For Gao Xiuxing, who has never been a chief officer before, this is a completely new experience.
This is what power feels like!
After taking a sip of tea, Gao Xingxing began to relax.
Although my father, Gao Shilian, has retired from office, he still retains some prestige in terms of his weight in His Majesty's eyes and his connections in the court. If he can work conscientiously and diligently in ministry affairs during the period when Tang Jian is recuperating, He is more able to complete the mission perfectly during the Eastern Expedition. With a little operation, it is very likely that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be filled by himself.
Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, one of the six departments, a powerful man of the third rank!
But his mood soon became depressed, because he suddenly remembered that Fang Jun's stick had now served as Minister of the Ministry of War, and there was also the title of Prince Shaobao hanging above his head. That was from the second rank, that is to say, even if He actually became Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he was a step later than Fang Jun, and his rank was always inferior to others...
Gao Xingxing placed the tea cup heavily on the desk beside him, feeling a little depressed.
Why?
Come on, my father Gao Shilian's achievements and status are comparable to those of Fang Xuanling? Fighting for father-in-law, he is also His Majesty's son-in-law. Your wife, Princess Gaoyang, lost her biological mother early and has no support from her natal family; fighting for status, since the eldest grandson rebelled, he has become a leader among the younger generation...
Why did Fang Jun get the upper hand in the end?
Just because he fought a victorious battle in Mobei and destroyed Xue Yantuo? That's all because of the power of firearms. No matter who led an army equipped with muskets and thunder, they could still run rampant in Mobei and beat Xue Yantuo to the ground. How could it be completely the fault of Fang Jun alone?
Aren’t you more able to flatter and please His Majesty than I am?
High performance dissatisfaction.
But thinking about his and Fang Jun's status and favor in front of His Majesty, I feel heartbroken... Although he is quite disdainful, he is actually a little envious. It's not that he doesn't want to flatter him, but he just feels that his level is not as good as Fang Jun's. Because there is no Fang Jun to invite His Majesty to see him.
He considered himself to be inferior to Fang Jun in the ability to flatter a horse and flirt with others.
…
Let's say that Fang Jun and Bu Qu galloped all the way, turned around two streets, and went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Cui Dunli followed closely on horseback, feeling uneasy. How could he come to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to do business? Look at this menacing posture, he is just here to cause trouble!
This man said he was making trouble earlier, and he thought he was just talking, but he didn't expect him to be so unscrupulous. This is the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the central government office, the center of the empire's finances. Why don't you think about the consequences?
But he also knew that Fang Jun would not listen to his advice at all, so he could only complain secretly...
The Minbu Yamen was not far away from the Ministry of War, so he rode his horse across two streets and arrived in the blink of an eye.
As a central government office and an important financial center, countless officials from various places come to the Ministry of Civil Affairs every day to handle matters. Cars and horses are rushing outside the gate, and half of the street is surrounded by water. Officials from all states and counties across the country are waiting here. Then he entered the Yamen to do business.
Fang Jun and his entourage rode in with the rumble of hooves, which frightened officials from all over the country and quickly ordered their men to drive away the carriages and make way for them.
Chang'an City's dandies are famous all over the world. These officials are all responsible for going to Beijing to handle affairs in their respective yamen. They are well-informed and know that anyone who dares to gallop on this street at this time cannot afford to offend...
The group of people went straight to the gate without any obstruction.
Three or four people guarding the gate suddenly came out, pointed at Fang Jun and others and yelled: "Who is so bold, who dares to gallop on horseback in a central place, and wants to go to jail?"
Fang Jun and others came closer, swung their stirrups and dismounted. Those disciples all looked at each other. They had just scolded them, but when they saw who was coming, they almost wanted to give themselves a slap in the face...
Who in the capital doesn’t know Fang Erbangchui?
This ancestor cannot be offended...
Before the majesty of the disciples could be revealed, he immediately transformed into a quail, carefully stepped forward to take the reins thrown by Fang Jun, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Fang Shaobao! Are you here to do something? Come on. Come on, I'll hold the horse for you, but be careful where you step..."
The officials waiting around were stunned.
They are all old people who often come to various ministries to do business. The Civil Affairs Department and the Criminal Department have the most contact. Of course, knowing that these two yamen are difficult to handle and difficult to enter, even the door eyes are turned up. I have never seen anything like this. Shaking his head and tail cautiously?
They couldn't help but look at Fang Jun, secretly wondering: Whose dandy is this?
He is still a "Shaobao". How can he be given the official title of "Shaobao" at such a young age? There is no doubt that it was a nickname, but after much deliberation, I can't remember anyone in Chang'an who was called "Shaobao"...
Fang Jun didn't even look at the doors. He stretched out his hand to pull them aside, then climbed up the steps and walked into the door.
An official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs hurried forward and asked politely: "I wonder what Fang Shaobao is here to do?"
Fang Jun pushed him away and yelled, "Let Gao Xingcheng come out. If you have anything to ask him!"
Several officials came over quickly. Although they were afraid of Fang Jun's reputation, as an official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was shameful for someone to speak about their own officials by name so brazenly.
"Master Fang, please calm down."
"Yes, Fang Shaobao, how can you be like us?"
"What's going on with you? We might as well report it to Senior Minister Gao..."
Fang Jun looked around and sneered: "You? You can't solve it, so I'm going to talk to Gao Xingcheng!"
The Ministry of Civil Affairs officials saw that the atmosphere was not right and did not dare to provoke Fang Jun, so they had to say: "Then please wait a moment and let us report..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Jun pulled him aside and strode into the main hall.
In the main hall, Gao Jian was feeling annoyed when suddenly there was a noise outside, and his anger suddenly rose. Tang Jian usually sat in the duty room like a Buddha, doing nothing, and you two walked with your faces held high. My feet fell softly, and my voice was choked when I spoke. Now that I am in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you have shown your true colors. You don't take me, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, seriously, right?
"boom!"
Gao Jingcheng was furious, thinking that his official authority had been challenged. He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "It's so lawless. Who is making noise outside? What on earth do you want to do?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door, with officials shouting and scolding. Then one person pushed everyone aside, strode into the hall, and shouted loudly: "Me! Fang Jun!"
Gao Jingcheng was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What are you doing here?"
Fang Jun stood in the hall, calm and calm: "Hurry up and give me the money!"
