After staying another night at the Palace Villa, the group set out on their way home.
Li Shimin had to go back to preside over the government.
Wei Shuyu also needs to go to Hu County to take charge of the overall situation...
Cui Mansion.
Cui Shenji sneaked into his mansion in a thief manner.
After being away from home for three days without saying a word, he would definitely be beaten when he returned home.
"stop!"
Just as he was about to sneak into the house, a sharp shout rang in his ears.
"Dad, I didn't run around."
Cui Shenji subconsciously defended: "I went to play with Your Majesty."
"If you want to make a puppet, ask His Majesty first."
Cui Yixuan's face darkened.
What bullshit are you talking about.
"follow me."
After Cui Yixuan finished speaking, he walked straight towards the study.
"oh."
Cui Shenji drooped his head and followed after him.
"Why are you walking so slowly?"
Cui Yixuan scolded unhappily: "Your Majesty didn't give you food?"
"Dad, how do you know?"
Cui Shenji's eyes widened: "In the palace, we are all self-reliant. Your Majesty really doesn't care about food."
"..."
Cui Yixuan's mouth twitched.
How much do you have to be despised by His Majesty, who doesn’t even give you food?
"Cut the nonsense and hurry up!"
In the study room.
Cui Shenji was timid, but his eyes couldn't help but glance around.
The cane that seemed to be looking for Choi Eui-hyun.
The rattan was not found, but there was an extra tray on the desk.
"Dad, I really haven't caused any trouble recently."
"Who said you were causing trouble?"
"ah?"
Cui Shenji's eyes widened: "Then why don't you ask me to come in?"
Cui Yixuan shook his head helplessly.
Such a fool.
I don’t know if I can take on big responsibilities in the future.
Push the tray forward...
"This is your official appointment document and official uniform."
Oops.
Cui Shenji slapped his head.
I almost forgot that I was an official.
When he impromptu rushed forward, he picked up the document and admired it.
Hmm, it's very formal and I can't quite understand it.
It's better to wear official uniform.
He put his official uniform in front of him and compared it.
"Dad, look..."
Cui Shenji had a look of excitement on his face: "Does my dress suit me?"
"good."
Cui Yixuan had a smile on his face.
This is a major event in his son's life, and the father will definitely feel proud.
And this official position...
The Cui family didn't contribute anything, and even if others wanted to say that they were bending the law for personal gain, they had no excuse.
You have to talk about your strengths.
Even when Wei Shuyu's recommendation was submitted to the officials, he did not encounter any resistance.
joke……
Fang Xuanling, Cui Yixuan, Li Yuan, Xiao Wei...
So many big guys are supporting it.
Do the officials dare not pass it?
If you don't pass today, you can go home and retire tomorrow.
"Yeah?"
Cui Shenji smiled sillyly and said, "I think it's pretty good."
At this moment, Cui Yixuan suddenly took out a list and handed it to Cui Shenji.
"Dad, what is this?"
Cui Shenji asked doubtfully.
"The Ministry of Commerce is short of people. These are the officials selected by my father to assist you and Shu Yu."
Cui Yixuan said after pondering for a moment.
The Ministry of Commerce was formally established.
Never mind whether it will become the seventh department in addition to the six in the future.
Naturally, the nobles would not miss this opportunity...
It's nothing more than a matter of placing a few people.
If the Ministry of Commerce rises, these people will rise rapidly and become the mainstay of the Ministry of Commerce.
So when I learned that Wei Shuyu recommended Cui Shenji and Fang Yiai...
The gentry also recommended a group of officials!
"Tell Shu Yu about this."
"If he has no objection, these people will follow you to Hu County to take office."
Cui Shenji couldn't understand.
But he still agreed honestly.
"oh."
at the same time……
Fangfu.
Fang Xuanling also did the same thing.
Some recommended lists were given to Fang Yiai.
Although they had higher official positions than Wei Shuyu, they could force people into the Ministry of Commerce.
However, Wei Shuyu was in charge of the commercial department.
If Wei Shuyu doesn't agree, even if you put someone in, he can remove you in minutes.
This is power!
The next day.
"Cauldron, cauldron..."
Cui Shenji ran in early in the morning.
"Yo ho?"
Wei Shuyu clicked his tongue in surprise: "Have you already put on official uniform?"
"Handsome, right?"
Cui Shenji grinned and turned around.
Snapped.
Wei Shuyu made a backhand with a head.
"Low-key, do you understand?"
Wei Shuyu lectured: "Did you see me showing off when I was an official?"
Cui Shenji covered his head in grievance.
Suddenly I remembered something and took out a stack of paper from my sleeve...
"Look at the cauldron, my father has sent some soldiers for us."
Soldier?
Wei Shuyu took a look at the list.
There is also a letter from Cui Yixuan.
Basically, he thanked Wei Shuyu for taking care of Cui Shenji, and then felt that the Ministry of Commerce was short of personnel, so he recommended a group of officials to Wei Shuyu.
"Brother, I'm coming."
Fang Yiai is also in official uniform.
As soon as he entered the door, he handed the letter in his hand to Wei Shuyu.
Wei Shuyu opened it and saw that the contents of the two letters were similar.
"Okay, I agree to this."
Wei Shuyu didn't think much about it.
This is what the court looks like.
It cannot be changed, and there is no way to change it.
Even if the noble clan dies, other forces will join forces...
The struggle between the new party and the old party in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The dispute between the Donglin Party and other cronies in the late Ming Dynasty.
If you want to get along in the court, people will involuntarily stick together.
"Cauldron, do you agree?"
Cui Shenji smiled and said: "My father also said that he would beat me if I couldn't do this."
"Your father is so evil."
Fang Yiai said seriously.
"yes."
Cui Shenji nodded seriously: "Your father didn't make any request to you?"
"My dad said don't go home if you can't complete the task." Fang Yiai replied truthfully.
Fang Xuanling is Li Shimin's chief steward.
The personnel arranged were basically approved by Li Shimin.
The purpose is also very clear.
Just for balance!
If people from the gentry entered the Shang Department, the people he arranged did not.
The result can be imagined...
"Uncle Fang is so cruel?"
Cui Shenji's eyes widened: "Just such a trivial matter, you don't even want your son?"
"Hard, right?"
Fang Yiai is angry and unjust.
"Then you can bear it?"
"How to say?"
"Your father is so ruthless, so let's forget about severing the relationship between father and son."
"No, no, no..."
"What happened?"
"Without dad's tiger skin, I would have been beaten to death when I went out."
"Yes."
Wei Shuyu rolled his eyes.
Who said they are stupid?
When looking at problems, they always go straight to the source.
I haven’t seen anyone who commits suicide every day and is still alive and kicking...
"Okay, it's time to go to Hu County."
Wei Shuyu took the lead and set off.
As soon as I walked out, I saw a large group of officials standing at the door.
Upon closer inspection, there were no fewer than twenty people.
"I've met Dr. Wei!"
When all the officials saw Wei Shuyu, they all bowed.
The official position of a doctor is already very high.
Above him are the fourth-rank minister and the third-rank minister...
Normally, a doctor is a fifth-rank official.
But officialdom requires qualifications, and Wei Shuyu did not have enough qualifications.
However, taking into account the uniqueness of the Ministry of Commerce, the official position of a sixth-grade doctor was specially given.
The main reason is for Wei Shuyu to be able to command the entire business department legitimately.
As for why Wei Shuyu was not given the fifth-grade official title?
Because the meanings of the five grades of symbols can be different...
It represents truly stepping into the center of power.
It is also a hurdle to enter the gentry clan!
The fifth grade appears in three consecutive generations and belongs to the noble clan.
He has not produced a fifth grade for three consecutive generations, so he belongs to a poor family.
This hurdle...
It's enough to make some sixth-grade officials do some crazy things.
"Hey, so many people?"
Wei Zheng walked out at the right time.
He had already heard about what happened outside the door...
It was his first time to lead an official, so he naturally had to stand up.
"I've met Wei Shizhong!"
All the officials bowed together again.
"You're welcome!"
Wei Zheng returned the gift...
"I'm very grateful that you can come and help my son."
"But the ugly words are ahead..."
"I, the Duke of Zheng, have always treated things differently than people."
"If anyone dares to deceive the superiors and do something illegal, don't blame Wei for being selfless!"
