Peng Ran was really shocked by Yan Qi's words.
Peng Ran knew a lot about official positions.
Among the six departments of Shangshu Province, the official department is the first of the six.
In the same way, the position of the official minister is the highest among the six ministers.
Because the staff department is different from other departments.
The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of officials.
From the ninth-rank sesame official to the feudal official, they are all within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel.
The Ministry of Personnel has many important rights such as assessment, inspection, testing, appointment and removal of officials.
It can be said that if the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel goes one step further, he can only be the deputy prime minister, or even the prime minister.
Peng Ran looked at Yan Qi excitedly: "Master Yan, aren't you kidding me?"
Yan Qi smiled: "Going all the way from Jiangsu to Beijing just to tease you?"
Peng Ran understood it as soon as he heard it.
It turns out that Yan Qi asked him to come to Beijing to report on his work just to promote him.
Peng Ran didn't expect Yan Qi to value him so much, and deep in his heart, he felt ecstatic.
However, he was not overwhelmed by the great joy.
Peng Ran said: "I understand Lord Yan's kind wishes. Lord Yan must not promote for the sake of promotion. I don't want to cause trouble to Lord Yan."
"Moreover, deep down in my heart, I want to do some practical things for the people, not just for the black gauze hat on my head."
Yan Qi smiled and nodded: "Master Peng Ran's awareness is much higher than that of a commoner like me. I admire you, I admire you!"
Peng Ran looked ashamed: "It's not that I raised a high profile and acted lofty, but that's what I thought in my heart. I just said it bluntly. Master Yan, please don't think that I am noble."
Yan Qidao: "Of course I know that Master Peng Ran is not deliberately making a high profile. In fact, I transferred Master Peng Ran to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs because you are outstanding. If you are placed in Jiangsu Province, you can only benefit Jiangsu. What a pity! If you are transferred to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can benefit the whole country."
"You not only understand economics, but you are also proficient in administration! Under your rule, Jiangsu Province is far superior to other provinces in terms of spiritual food and economic development. This is enough to show that you are a rare all-rounder."
"It would be a pity if you don't get promoted. This is not a promotion for the sake of promotion. It's obvious that I want to put an extra burden on you. You, you have to straighten your back and pick up the burden."
Peng Ranyi
His face was solemn: "I must try my best and don't dare to slack off."
Yan Qi continued to explain: "The position of the Minister of Civil Affairs is very important. He controls the transfer, assessment, promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials across the country! Master Peng Ran is an all-rounder, and he must be excellent at selecting talents. From now on, you must do a good job Check the gates and select capable ministers and officials for the great country."
Peng Ran was very excited: "Thank you Lord Yan for your appreciation and encouragement! If I really become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I will definitely use what I have learned in my life to serve the country, and I will never let down Lord Yan's expectations of me. It's just..."
Yan Qixiao asked: "Just what?"
Peng Ran smiled coquettishly: "Isn't it very difficult for Master Yan to do this? Tang Hanxiao, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has been in the position of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for more than ten years without any mistakes. It can be said that he is as stable as a mountain! If I do this, won't I be rushing to the shelves? Suspicion? Besides, I also have some friendship with Tang Hanxiao, and our relationship is pretty... pretty good."
Yan Qidao: "I also know this. Tang Hanxiao has a very good staff and will not offend anyone. He not only has friendship with Master Peng Ran, but also has deep friendship with many ministers in the court."
"Moreover, Tang Hanxiao has very few opponents and almost no enemies. He has no mistakes and no handles. His foundation is quite stable."
Peng Ran said: "So, there is no need to create complications. It is more appropriate to let Tang Hanxiao continue to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
"How about that?"
Yan Qi rejected it outright: "The civil service department is very important. It has the power of life, death, appointment and dismissal of many ministers. How can I be a good man who won't offend anyone and be on good terms with everyone?"
In other words, if you are friends with everyone, then you have to work in the Ministry of Rites. How can you be a minister in the Ministry of Officials? "
"The job of the Ministry of Personnel is to evaluate officials. Since it is an assessment, it is inevitable that people will be offended. If you offend people, there will be opponents and enemies! Tang Hanxiao has been serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for ten years. For a long time, there are no enemies, which is enough to show that he is not competent enough."
Peng Ran nodded: "What Mr. Yan said is absolutely true. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is an enviable yamen, but of course it is also an offending yamen. The polarization is extremely obvious. Tang Hanxiao has no enemies, which is indeed very abnormal."
Yan Qi said again: "Secondly, Tang Hanxiao made no achievements when he was in the civil service department. Although he had no faults, he had no merit! Most of the time when appointing officials, they followed Yang Ke's instructions. What is this called? This is called following the crowd. If you really want to listen to Yang Ke in everything, what else do you need the officials to do? What do you need Tang Hanxiao to do?
What a bullshit official minister? "
"The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel must have his own optional rules and must put forward different opinions. How can he obey the orders above in everything?"
"Lord Peng Ran, if you become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the future, you don't have to listen to me in everything. It makes no sense for me to promote officials, and you deny it."
Peng Ran nodded: "That's natural. For the sake of the country and the country, I won't be a good guy."
Yan Qidao: "So, Tang Hanxiao must be replaced. You know, there are so many officials in Dahua. How many capable ministers and officials have been in high positions in the past ten years?"
"Master Peng Ran, think about it. With your great ability, has Tang Hanxiao promoted you? What's more, he is still on good terms with you."
Peng Ran shook his head: "Tang Hanxiao never promoted me in a targeted manner."
Yan Qidao: "So, Tang Hanxiao's so-called good deeds are just inaction. Everything he did was to listen to Yang Ke and be a good person. It is really a humiliation for such a smooth person to work in the official department. ."
"So, Sir Peng Ran, just be prepared. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel belongs to you."
Peng Ran stood up and bowed to Yan Qi. Deep in his heart, he was very excited: "Thank you for being promoted by Lord Yan. I will definitely live up to Lord Yan's respect. I will work hard, bear no complaints, be self-denial, and do all the work of the official department well."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "That's right. It's so pretentious to promote you!"
"Ha ha."
Peng Ran smiled.
Although he was already very satisfied with the governor.
However, who can despise his own high official position?
To become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is to be regarded as the best minister.
The status is still above Zhao Qing.
Peng Ran thought of something and stopped talking.
Yan Qidao: "Master Peng Ran, just tell me if you have anything to do."
Peng Ran asked: "Tang Hanxiao has done nothing wrong. He is very popular. If we remove Tang Hanxiao like this, I'm afraid Mr. Yan will have an excuse for bullying."
Yan Qi's eyes were strange: "Who said I wanted to take away Tang Hanxiao?"
Peng Ran was startled: "Tang Hanxiao was kicked out of the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel by Master Yan. Isn't that just to remove him?"
Yan Qi smiled narrowly: "No, I am not removing Tang Hanxiao, but promoting Tang Hanxiao."
"Ah? Give Tang Hanxiao a promotion?"
Peng Ran was really confused this time.
