In the end, Ke Xinyu left.
As for whether those three things should be agreed or not, no one knew whether he would agree in his heart. Jiang Yun learned from Zhu Youxin that Ke Xinyu left directly at noon and did not come back until the evening.
It was approaching dusk.
"Speaking of which, I haven't found a place for myself to live yet." Jiang Yun stood up casually. It was his first day on the job. It was expected that he was unfamiliar with the place and was not being taken care of.
"Zhu Youxin."
Zhu Youxin came in immediately outside the door, but his bloated body looked funny.
"Minister, are you looking for me?" Zhu Youxin also wanted to look less bulky, so he imitated Minister Ke's assistant with a serious face and vigorous demeanor, but... after all, he was somewhat imitating others.
Jiang Yun said nonchalantly, "Take me to the Documents Department."
You must go to the Documents Department. Whether it is the list of all personnel in the Foreign Affairs Department or the previous accounts of each department, Jiang Yun is within the scope of access. He is qualified to see what the previous Foreign Affairs Department was like. Condition.
A lot can be inferred from some simple data.
He will be more able to deal with them later.
"Oh." Zhu Youxin immediately led the way for the young minister.
Along the way, many people from the Foreign Affairs Department were a little surprised to see Zhu Youxin actually leading the way for the new minister. After some discussion, they learned that he was working as an assistant to the minister. They all guessed something and bowed their heads in silence.
It can be seen how marginalized Zhu Youxin is in the entire department. Anyway, Jiang Yun didn't see anyone saying hello or winking to him along the way.
It stands to reason that as a minister's assistant, your status will skyrocket.
However, everyone behaved like this, and I always felt that they were more afraid of the former minister. Jiang Yun looked like a young man. It was okay for everyone to call him minister politely, but few people really expressed goodwill to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun didn't care how much these so-called subordinates respected him on the first day.
Reputation and respect are earned by oneself, not given by others.
"Forgive me, Minister, they didn't mean it." On the contrary, Zhu Youxin comforted Jiang Yun in a low voice, "They are also afraid that you will be promoted quickly if you come here. If you are too enthusiastic now, you will be left out in the future."
"You see clearly, tell me how you got in?" Only then did Jiang Yun take a serious look at the assistant and asked with interest.
I had always felt that Zhu Youxin was arranged by Ke Xinyu, and he was definitely not a neat or trustworthy person. I could feel that Ke Xinyu's authority in the entire Foreign Affairs Department was deep enough. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youxin was the only one comforting him now, which made him feel a little warm in his heart.
"Hi, I'm just an ordinary part-time worker. I was promoted by an uncle from far away. However, that uncle was killed by the Blood Blade on a mission. I am not good-looking and not strong enough, so I have been marginalized. . So I can see through many things, and I am the only one with no relatives in the family, so I dare to be casual and live a casual life. No one will care about me." Zhu Youxin showed a hint of warmth in his eyebrows as he spoke, which must have come to mind. One's own relatives.
"Didn't Vice Minister Ke tell you to be tough on me or tell you to send him a message?" Jiang Yun said with a smile, "You are so close to me, and you will definitely get into trouble if you are seen."
"No, after all, I am your assistant. It is normal to talk to you." Zhu Youxin looked at Han, but in fact his heart was as bright as a bright mirror.
As for whether he would send news to Vice Minister Ke, he did not answer. He only said that he was a smart man.
"The Document Department is in front." Zhu Youxin pointed to the stone chair in the corner, "You can check the information after you go in and show your identity. I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Yun was amused, "You're an assistant, and you're sitting here waiting for me?"
"Oh." After all, this was Zhu Youxin's first time as an assistant, and he had had very few interpersonal interactions before. At this time, he suddenly reacted and apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, minister, I'm used to it. I'll stand here waiting for you."
"It's okay. You should just sit and wait. It will take me a long time." Jiang Yun waved his hand and left with a smile.
Zhu Youxin was left standing or sitting, and was confused.
"Minister Jiang."
After hearing from his subordinates that Jiang Yun had come to check the files, Xiao Tianyang, the director of the Documents Department, came out to greet him personally.
"Minister Xiao."
Jiang Yun still has a good impression of the Minister of Documents Department.
According to what I learned from Huang Renxing, in the entire Ditingyuan in the west of the city, the three major departments are the most famous and control the power of the entire Ditingyuan. This may be the reason why no other ministers came today, because there are not enough ministers from other departments to stand alongside these few, so they dare not come rashly.
Among them, the two most powerful ones are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment, He Youjia, is very powerful and uses a series of means to firmly control his subordinates. Even some members of the City Lord's Palace and the Law Enforcement Department are his cronies. He is the largest group outside the director of the entire Ditingyuan Department.
Ke Xinyu, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, is a double-dealer who hides his secret behind his smile.
A man who smiles in front of others and stabs others in front of others, has a firm grip on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has close external connections with the two major sects and the city lord's palace. The two major sects in the west of the city only follow this figure. I have made a lot of money over the years, and I have managed everything so well that even He Youjia has to give him some thin noodles occasionally.
In addition to these two departments with the most power, the third one is the Documents Department.
Xiao Tianyang, the director of the Documents Department, is not greedy for power and just lives in his own land. However, he is appreciated by the dean because of his peace of mind. Several other ministers are willing to talk to him when something happens, and this person occasionally Will come forward to help other ministers to speak.
The three ministries thus equally divided the power of the listening court.
Of course, everything is based on the premise that only the dean will obey. The dean is a real Yuanying early stage. If you dare to be presumptuous, the dean will directly change it for you.
As for why these three ministers are so powerful, Lan Xiang, the Minister of Law Enforcement Department, seems to have been sidelined, and some of his power has been taken away by He Youjia of the Criminal Department. The biggest problem is that she, like other ministers, is in the Foundation Establishment Realm!
That's right, the reason why the head of the Law Enforcement Department shows favor to Jiang Yun and pretends to be dignified is because he lacks confidence!
Jiang Yun was already aware of these twists and turns, so naturally he never asked about it.
And the above three powerful ministers are all in the Golden Elixir stage, and they are not the first to enter the Golden Elixir, but the early or middle stage of the Golden Elixir!
As a minister in the Jindan period, they are naturally much stronger than you at the foundation level. This is why many people are willing to take refuge under He Youjia, and why the two sects are willing to be on good terms with Ke Xinyu.
Strength is the most fundamental issue.
Now that Jiang Yun has joined the Golden Elixir Stage, many people are waiting to see which direction the trend will turn!
"I heard that you want to check the information of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" Xiao Tianyang gave Jiang Yun a good feeling, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Well, one wants to see the information of all the personnel of the Foreign Affairs Department, and the other wants to see all the files submitted by the Foreign Affairs Department last year, including the specific details of some sponsored activities."
"Yes, you have this authority." Xiao Tianyang did not embarrass Jiang Yun at all. He led Jiang Yun to a quiet room and said, "I will help you with the inspection procedures. After you go in, I will ask someone to check it out." The information and procedures will be sent to you."
The information is organized and archived. If you want to view it, you can only get it from the Documents Department.
"Thank you." After Jiang Yun finished speaking, seeing that Xiao Tianyang was not in a hurry to leave, he asked curiously, "Does Minister Xiao have anything else to do?"
"Add a transmission talisman so that we can communicate with each other if something happens." Xiao Tianyang actually wanted to leave his own transmission talisman to keep in touch? Jiang Yun had a lot of thoughts in his heart and nodded slightly on his face.
Counting the minister and assistant Zhu Youxin, Xiao Tianyang was the third person to establish contact with him.
"If I remember correctly, one of Ke Xinyu's subordinates was chased to death by a mysterious man at home last month. Afterwards, the Law Enforcement Department investigated that he was an abandoned disciple of the two sects in the west of the city. Unfortunately, he escaped." Xiao Tianyang said inexplicably, "This Sangzi County is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. It is not as well-ordered as Wushen City. Friends Dao Jiang must be careful if he lives alone."
After saying that, he pulled away and left.
Jiang Yun watched his retreating figure, thoughtfully.
"Let's see who kills whom..." If you say you are not afraid, it would be a lie. According to what Huang Renxing said, the two sects have many masters of golden elixirs, and there may even be Supreme Elders in the Nascent Soul stage.
It is worth mentioning that the strongest of the eight sects means that one of the sects has a Nascent Soul Qi in charge. The eight sects selected by the underground network cannot be too strong. If the powerful forces want to interfere with the resources of the county, they will simply not give small sects a way to survive.
And if it involves multiple Nascent Souls or forces above Nascent Souls, they must be reported to the Xuntian Supervisor, otherwise the Xuntian Supervisor will not allow such sects to enter the city. Your sect is more powerful than the underground network when it enters the city. Do you control the underground network, or does the underground network control you? If you mess around in the city, won't I be able to control you?
Therefore, if Ke Xinyu asked the two sects to take action, it would most likely be the Jin Dan Qi, while the Nascent Soul Qi would not dare to move around in the city, and would be watched closely by the dean and the Prime Minister.
As long as the Nascent Soul Stage didn't take action and he and Yan Wu cooperated, his life would not be in danger.
"Minister Jiang, this is the information you asked for." The person who came to deliver the documents was Minister Xiao's assistant. He put down the information and left quietly.
Jiang Yun quickly opened the information, and the first page that bore the brunt was Ke Xinyu's information. It strictly listed Ke Xinyu's personal relationships and origins, but there was not much useful information.
He also remembered the approximate names of other people and Zhu Youxin's information.
"Foundation Establishment Realm?"
It wasn't until he saw Zhu Youxin's true strength that he was a little surprised. The fat man looked quite young, and he was actually building a foundation without showing off anything. When he heard him speak, he thought he was a young man in the Soul Realm. I'm afraid if I hadn't paid close attention, I would have thought that the fat man was very weak.
Keep an eye out and have a Foundation Establishment Realm assistant, and many things will be easier to do.
"Last year's disciple recruitment conference..."
There isn't much in the personnel files. I just jotted down the names and main information and put them aside.
What really concerned Jiang Yun was the account details in front of him.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spent a total of one thousand gold cakes, and the income was...two thousand gold cakes?" Jiang Yun frowned, what kind of nonsense should it spend one thousand gold cakes, what he showed to him today was also eight hundred gold cakes, what exactly did he do? What, you actually need so much money?
Not only is there a problem with expenses, but there is also something fishy with income.
The number of applicants in the city will definitely be no less than 100,000, and each of the four districts will be no less than 20,000. The registration fee of 20,000 people alone can pay more than 200 gold cakes, not to mention the tax collection paid by the economic flow in the city will definitely be explosive in a short period of time. The increase, in addition to the sect's agency fees, the official store of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other joint businesses, as well as the total money from selling these items after the conference, how can it be only two thousand?
To take a step back, this income is just a drop in the bucket for the Ditingyuan. How can we get this little money after a long time of trouble? It’s not enough to pay all the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a month’s salary!
He pursed his lips and looked through the detailed records carefully.
"The construction of the scene alone costs hundreds of gold cakes? What is so expensive?" Jiang Yun looked carefully and couldn't help but look weird, "Wood carvings, stone carvings?"
Whether the value of the artwork is high or low, it’s all a matter of mutual consent.
The craftsman sets the price, and if the buyer agrees, we hit it off immediately. If he disagrees, we can discuss it further.
It's okay if it's an ordinary buyer. It happens from time to time that big men spend a lot of money. But you are the Foreign Affairs Department of Ditingyuan! If you spend so much money, Jiang Yun won't believe it if you say you didn't get any kickbacks!
I want to see what's going on with you.
"The address of this shop is..."
