Compared to Yu Ji who drinks heavily every time they meet, Xue Zongkai is obviously more reliable.
Everything he said was considered from Xu He's point of view.
When Xu He came out of Tongzhi Gong's house, he was led to the Experience Department.
At this time, the courtyard of the Experience Department was already full of people on the three floors inside and outside.
The leader stood out from the crowd and said: "Sir Xu, I am lowered to the rank of Li Xuedao. I have experience in the affairs of the capital. I respectfully welcome you to take office!"
"Congratulations on taking office, Your Excellency!"
To be honest, if there are more powers than people in a yamen, then Xu He has already taken control of the former military governor's mansion.
The dozens of people in front of him were extremely lively compared to the deserted scene outside the hospital.
"Li Dushi, get up, everyone, no need to be polite!" Xu He smiled slightly and helped Li Xuedao up.
Upon seeing this, Li Xuedao smiled slightly at Xu He, then turned around and said: "Everyone, go back!"
As soon as these words were finished, everyone turned around and went back to their houses without waiting for Xu He to speak.
Xu He's heart trembled slightly, hehe, he is showing off his muscles to me.
However, he did not have an attack. He only pretended that he was a new Jinshi who had just entered the officialdom and was still ignorant.
Xu He smiled and said: "Li Dushi, where is my father-in-law?"
Seeing that Xu He had no displeased reaction, Li Xuedao smiled "haha" in his heart, but on his face he said attentively: "Please come with me, sir."
After a while, Xu He came to the public house where he was experiencing.
He was stunned as soon as he walked in the door.
The place is unremarkable on the outside, but the interior is luxuriously decorated.
Blankets from the Western Regions, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, a set of porcelain, and a set of red sandalwood tables and chairs.
Behind the four screens is an Arhat bed with rosewood and inlaid teeth.
Where is the office?
This is even more luxurious than the Wanshou Palace. I don’t know what Lao Zhang thought when he found out.
Li Xuedao saw Xu He staring at the Persian carpet on the ground, so he smiled and said: "Sir, this is the decoration of my predecessor Zuo Sizhong. If you don't like it, can I replace it for you?"
Xu He smiled slightly and sat on the official hat chair covered with real tiger skin. He touched the tiger skin on the armrest, patted it again, and then said: "It's good, it's good. I have never sat on a tiger." Where’s the skin!”
Seeing that Xu He didn't get angry, Li Xuedao said happily: "They are all the best tiger skins from Wanlongyuan in the capital. There are only about ten skins a year! I heard that your Excellency took office, so I specially asked someone to buy them!"
"Wanlongyuan?" Xu He felt a little familiar when he heard the name, but he did not ask in detail. Instead, he turned around and asked: "Li Dushi, you also know that I have not been an official for a long time, and I have not been assigned to the Hanlin Academy yet." I figured it out, and now I have received His Majesty's grace to come to the Experience Department of the Governor's Mansion!"
"What exactly is our experience department doing?"
Li Xuedao secretly scolded him for his good fortune. Isn't it because you came to experience the department because you have a good skin and become a princess?
Co-author You don’t even know anything about it when you took office, what on earth do you do as an official?
"Reporting to your lord, our Experience Department is mainly responsible for the transfer of documents to and from the Governor's Mansion. Nowadays, many of them are handled by the Ministry of War, so there is nothing important for us!"
Xu He nodded and said with a smile: "What kind of paperwork do you have every day?"
Li Xuedao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this person would be interested in asking in detail. Didn't a civil servant like Xu He want to hate these military matters?
However, he quickly came back to his senses and explained: "Each command post in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is responsible for all divisions and guard posts. It goes up to the Ministry of War." "All general positions, hereditary or floating officials, replacement of local officials, and promotion , You give it, it belongs to the superior government, please send it to the Ministry of War for selection!"
"After the selection, it will be sent back to the Governor's Mansion, where it will be conveyed to the various governors and guards."
When Xu He heard this, he thought to himself, isn't it unnecessary to take off his pants and fart?
The Ministry of War does not have the ability to transmit information to others, so why should you, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, do it?
It’s just to take away power and raise a bunch of idle people just to keep up with the situation!
"Also, the chief officers are subject to the selection and appointment of the Ministry of Personnel, and their resumes are verified and replied by the Ministry of Personnel."
"All the military attache's appointments and awards, the amount of salary, the training of land and water cavalry, the examination of official residences and flag services, military news, army recruitment, maps of border areas and hinterland, documents and books, farm planting, weapons, vehicles and ships, and firewood matters , we got the document and passed it on to all the yamen of the former military governor's office for disposal!"
After hearing this, Xu He finally gained something.
For the first time, he understood what the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was still in charge of.
The first is the issue of the remuneration of generals. This is very important. Although the Fifth Army Governor's Office does not pay you, it controls how much, how, and who is paid first.
The second is to take care of the internal affairs of the military camp, such as military intelligence, drills, logistics supplies, and military personnel replenishment.
Third, the mastery of various domestic and international intelligence and the drawing of maps.
Fourth, the deployment and placement of strategic materials such as farming, weapons, vehicles, ships, and firewood.
Calculated this way, the work of the Fifth Army Commander's Office is actually very important.
For example, during drills, the Guards Army counted over three million soldiers nationwide.
If it is drilled properly and fully staffed, it can be a terrifying force.
Not to mention small rebels, it will be drizzle all the way to Europe.
But the reality is, these are just numbers on paper.
Xu He estimated that the real number of troops in the country was only more than one million. They were allocated to two capitals and thirteen provinces. This number of troops was a bit stretched.
What's more, these are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled people who come here to eat the royal food.
There are also military camps. If Taizu Zhang Shicheng's idea is to follow, these military camps cannot be invaded. Moreover, every year, the Fifth Army Governor's Office must measure the increase or decrease in the number of personnel in the capital and guard stations, and report accordingly to the court to allocate or eliminate military camps.
Obviously, this article has now become a decoration.
As far as Xu He knew, Wang Lie from Hailing Qianhu Station was considered to be a capable person in the guard station. In Hailing, he was one of the biggest landowners that could be counted on one hand, and most of them had good paddy fields.
Where did these fields come from?
The military households under his command.
A soldier became a big landowner. It is conceivable that what he cared about was not his military exploits but the income from his land.
Can such a team fight well?
Xu He didn't think about it again. The purpose of coming today was firstly to recognize the person, and secondly to get familiar with the position. He had no time and could not take care of other things at the moment.
To recognize someone, the smiling Li Xuedao in front of you needs to be carefully screened.
If you dare to give him the color of being the head of the Experience Department, he must have been given the message by some big boss, but he has not offended anyone, so it should be a test for the time being.
Secondly, it is very important to understand what the Governor's Office is responsible for.
"Okay, that's it for today. I have to go to the Hanlin Academy to order my hair, so I won't stay any longer!" Xu He pretended to be bored and stood up.
Li Xuedao showed an expression that was true and sent him out with a smile.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Xu He saw a powerful and sturdy man scratching the frame of the door of the Experience Department and shouting: "What a bastard. It's just that I was looked down upon by those civil servants when I went to the Ministry of War. But when I got to the Governor's Mansion, I was still there." Do you want to see the faces of you villains?"
"If you don't let me handle my hereditary affairs today, my labor and management will not leave today!"
