Haha~
This young guy is really interesting.
The man surnamed Liang said happily immediately.
"We come from out of town, we just want to join in the fun, we don't care about the extra money. Are you a local? Jianye City has indeed expanded very quickly in the past few years."
"The shopkeeper is so arrogant and so sentimental. I'll take you to try the duck blood vermicelli soup here."
Song Shouhe scratched his head while leading the way, and said with some embarrassment.
"Well, I am actually a person from other places who came to the capital to look for opportunities. I have also studied for three years and am literate. I came to the capital to make a difference. I have been living in Jianye for more than a year now. Those of us who work for the master, It’s good to have a place to live.”
The man surnamed Liang paused and let out a long sigh.
"It turns out that my little brother is also of the same kind. I am working hard in business, and running goods back and forth, isn't it just to buy a property in Jianye and settle down here?"
Song Shouhe said in surprise.
"Is that the shopkeeper too? That's right. I'm used to the prosperity of Jianye. If you ask me to go back to farming in the valley, I would like to give it a try here. However, land in Jianye City is very expensive, and it is really difficult to buy real estate. .You see, several of our tour guide workers all work for the masters of aristocratic families, so they can have a place to stay."
Speaking of this, the man surnamed Liang couldn't help but said with hatred.
"Huh, those masters. Huh, it's not like I didn't try to stay safe and work hard. But those aristocratic families, those people from those aristocratic families, do they know how to run a business or build a building? They just take a little money and spend a little time to build a house. The land price in Jianye has turned into gold! The guys and I who run business together all work early and stay late, but even if we work for a lifetime, we may not be able to start a family here, and they earn this money just by flicking their fingers! This is fair ?"
These words really spoke to Song Shouhe's heart, and he couldn't help but marvel.
"It seems that the shopkeeper is also a man who has read books. You are better than me. You can explain clearly. Those masters say all day long that we don't work hard, Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty! Your Majesty has long said that we are no longer slaves of the noble family. The deed of betrayal has been burned long ago! What we earn now is the money we deserve. I think those rich people are relying on it, relying on it... I can’t explain clearly. But I feel I’ve worked hard, but the money is never enough.”
"No!"
The man surnamed Liang leaned on Song Shouhe's shoulder and said kindly.
"Chu State is very strange! You see, those farmers already have arable land. Farmers in other countries I have visited may not have arable land, but they have to spend a lifetime to support one thing. It's just that here in Chu State, it has become a house. In other countries, the land is still the same, and the only change for farmers is that they can have full stomachs. Alas, am I not talking about this to make our Chu country better? Sooner or later, those aristocratic masters will have to have someone to deal with them. "
Song Shouhe nodded repeatedly.
"That's right! We are also saying this to make Chu State better. Now that we are no longer slaves of the noble family, there are always people riding on our heads. Sooner or later, someone has to take care of them! I will work together Some of my co-workers came from Wei and Qin after escaping from the disaster. Everyone feels that life is better than before, but they are always unhappy and can’t explain clearly. I understand a lot better after listening to you, the shopkeeper."
Ah.
The man named Liang smiled and patted Song Shouhe on the shoulder.
"Yes, that's right. If you have a chance to talk to your co-workers, you should go on strike and let the gentlemen give you a salary increase. Otherwise, those gentlemen will sit at home and count the money, and they will accuse you of being slow to make money. If His Majesty knows about the trouble. Yes, your Majesty is an eternal sage, so he must punish them."
"The shopkeeper is right!"
······
Peach Blossom Forest.
A carriage was parked next to the big stone by the river. Compared to the other people's luxurious decorations, this carriage was much simpler. Simple, even a bit old-fashioned. There was only a guard and a groom sitting in front of the carriage.
A figure stopped at the window of the carriage. The guard turned his head and took a look and ignored him.
"You're late."
A dull sound came from the carriage.
The man who just arrived smiled and apologized.
"Sorry, sorry, I got chatting with a friend and lost track of time."
the voice in the car mocked.
"I really never forget your tricks."
"Haha, it's just a little trick, sir, I'm sorry."
The man bowed humbly and asked.
"Sir, have you got the list?"
There was silence in the carriage window for a moment, and then the voice spoke again.
"I said, you remember."
Without waiting for the man to answer, the voice in the car continued.
"Your Majesty has formulated a system of three departments and nine departments."
Zhou Yu, Sima of the Ministry of War, was in charge of military affairs.
The Priest Department Taichang Ling, Zhang Hong, was in charge of sacrifices, diplomacy, and intelligence.
Imperial Guard Si Guang Luxun, Wenpin, was in charge of the imperial army.
Weiwei of the Department of Ordnance, Huang Yueying, is in charge of ordnance.
Situ of the Household Department, Ji Shu, is in charge of land and education.
Zhang Zhao, the Secretary of the Zhongshu Department, was in charge of memorials and edicts.
The imperial servant, Kuai Yue, was in charge of war horses and animal husbandry.
Criminal Law Si Tingwei, Zhuge Jin, is in charge of legislation and trials.
Sikong and Fa Zheng of the Ministry of Industry are in charge of construction.
The chief minister of the Department of Agriculture, Lu Su, is in charge of grain, grass and agriculture.
Zongmen Si Zongzheng and Pang Tong were in charge of the clan and relatives.
Gu Yong, the Shaofu of the Department of Industry and Commerce, is in charge of industry and commerce.
"The three ministers are the first-rank officials, and the nine ministers are the second-rank officials, making up the twelve-member cabinet. The chief historians under each department are the third-rank officials, forming the outer cabinet. The outer cabinet is responsible to the cabinet, and the cabinet is responsible to His Majesty. The states and states Mu is a third-grade official, and the officials below him range from the fourth to the sixth grade, and the assistant officers of the lower-level officials range from the fourth to the sixth grade."
The man under the shade of the tree did not take a pen to write down. He just listened silently. He waited for a long time for the voice in the car to finish speaking before he spoke.
"Oh, did you copy our ninth-grade Zhongzheng system? And you even changed it."
The voice in the car ignored the man's sneer and just replied lightly.
"Local officials from the third to the sixth rank are directly appointed and governed by the cabinet. Once appointed, the local chief official can gain the right to appoint his assistant officials, that is, officials from the fourth to the sixth rank."
"Oh, Sun Ce knows that he can't stop aristocratic families from forming cliques. Fortunately, he has released some rights and only evaluates the performance of his chief officials to decide promotions. What happened to Fazheng? Does Sun Ce really want to use this person? "
No wonder the man was confused. Sun Ce had many important ministers. For example, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao, who were highly regarded and valued by Qin and Wei, were only among the Nine Qings.
After the surrender of Shu, the old ministers of Shu were also used in important positions in the Chu court. However, many people did not expect that when Sun Ce became emperor, he would leave one of the three Duke positions to Fazheng.
"I don't know. Your heart is unpredictable."
The voice in the car sighed slightly.
"Each department has been basically formed. There will be no major adjustments. The list will not be wrong. The only difference is your rank."
The man was silent for a moment, and after getting the list, the purpose of this trip was over. From now on, he would adjust his intelligence work based on this list.
After finishing the work, the man seemed much more relaxed. He groped in his arms and joked casually.
"Since the various ministries and offices have already been formed, why didn't your Majesty Sun Ce proclaim himself emperor earlier?"
"Oh, can the salary paid to ministers and princes be the same as the salary paid to chief ministers and generals? Sun Ce and Cao Cao are both heroes who aspire to the world, so they naturally have the patience to spend money where it should be spent. Now that Sun Ce is going to proclaim himself emperor, it shows that Chu is ready."
The man took out a box from his arms, handed the box into the window, and then said.
"Here are 10,000 taels of silver. They are national bonds bought by aristocratic families from all over the country. They are free money, so feel free to exchange them."
"...Twice as many?"
"Oh, from now on, I will be the one to hand over to you, sir. This extra bit is my gift to you as a meeting gift."
The voices in the car were silent, but there was no refusal.
The man's smile deepened when he saw this.
"I'm a little curious. Sun Ce started his family in Jiangdong. People like Zhou Yu, Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, and Gu Yong are all talented people who are clean and honest and serve the country and the people. Why do you like money so much?"
The voice in the car laughed coldly and spoke with some emotion.
"Of course it is right to have ideals."
"But when one day your family is in decline and you live a homeless life. Your family needs money, and I suddenly find that I know nothing and have nothing except studying, I know how important money is."
"I don't have that kind of powerful father. I can only rely on myself. So integrity and ideals are a kind of luxury for me. What are you talking about? What you want is information, and I just want one step. Go to the top in one step and become the most powerful minister among thousands of people."
the man asked again.
"Are you satisfied with just being a powerful minister?"
"Ghosting, you talk too much."
