The Best Fake Eunuch

Now it's fine for Li Shi to take over the official department. Even if the emperor doesn't listen to his words completely, the officials will not dare not to listen.

It can save Xiao Chen a lot of trouble.

He always carried the appointment list with him, because he didn't know when Li Wanjiang would get nervous and wanted to see him, so he had to make preparations in advance, and whenever the emperor asked, he would take it out and show him right away.

If he didn't ask, he had to take the initiative to mention it to him.

Now that Li Shiwen has asked, that is also a good relationship.

Li Shi took over the list and just looked at one name, and then he slammed his mouth, "Chen Jisheng? He was dismissed by the emperor himself, and he was ordered not to be hired. You listed him first, because you want to fight against the emperor, you? "

"I didn't say that I would hire him, and I didn't give him a real job. I just asked the emperor to give him a rank. I think it would be appropriate to receive the title of second-rank minister." Xiao Chen laughed.

In fact, Xiao Chen knew that the emperor would never confer any official position on Chen Jisheng again, but he insisted on listing the old man first, it was intentional.

Anyway, Your Majesty, you must know that Chen Jisheng is with me now, instead of waiting for you to question me first, it is better for me to be more generous and tell you first.

What will your emperor say?

Are you saying that I don't know who to employ?

Chen Jisheng is a proper and honest official, and everyone in the court, including your emperor, knows this well.

If it's not that I don't know who to employ, then it's that you, the emperor, don't know...

Although I reused Chen Jisheng, I didn't appoint him any official position. This is not disrespectful at all, is it?

Because the old man has made great contributions with me in Yanyun County, so it's not too much for me to help him get a rank and make some vanity.

As for whether you agree or not, it depends on how big your majesty is.

Li Shi's situation is big, and he also admires Chen Jisheng, but his power is not big enough, and he can't give him the title of Shangshu.

Can give or will not give.

Next.

Liu Congshu? Xiao Chen, please correct me if I am wrong. Is this Liu Congshu the Zhizhou who opened the gate of Changshan to welcome the Xianbo cavalry?

Xiao Chen said t''.

Li Shi sighed and skipped to look at the next one.

The next Wen Chengxu, a scholar in the former Han Dynasty, plans to appoint the magistrate of Yanbei Prefecture, and add the fourth-rank title of magistrate...

"Xiao Chen, what are you kidding?" Li Shi threw the list heavily on the table, "You still plan to show this list to the emperor, and the emperor asks you a ridiculous crime, do you think you can afford it?"

"Hehe, I have always done things absurdly. If the emperor punished me with this, then I would have already deserved death." Xiao Chen smiled playfully.

"Yanyun eighteen prefectures, what do you mean by only listing two prefectures?" Li Shi asked, "Didn't you take back the other sixteen prefectures?"

"My lord, you asked this question knowingly." Xiao Chen smiled meaningfully.

"Hmph, your kid is full of ghosts!" Li Shi also smiled, paused and said, "Actually, I think the organization of Yanyun County Shibazhou is too bloated, and the personnel of this organization It is also obviously insufficient, it is better to reduce the eighteen states to nine states or even six states, which is also convenient for the court to manage."

"My lord, this is really a good idea!" Xiao Chen clapped his hands and praised, "I think so too, but you don't know, my lord, the situation in Yanyun County is really messy. There are only seven or eight prefectures in 18 prefectures. It is the agent of the county magistrate, and the jurisdiction between some states is blurred."

Xiao Chen, Chen Jisheng and the others discussed the streamlining of the organization, and they also want to ask Li Wanjiang to agree to it this time.

This is a good thing, Li Wanjiang should agree.

Now that Li Shi took the initiative to propose it, it couldn't be better.

As for the fact that Xiao Chen only proposed two prefect candidates in the list, there was a reason for that.

Changshan Prefecture and Yanbei Prefecture are currently the two most important states in Yanyun County, so Xiao Chen must use his own people.

As for the remaining candidates to know the state, they have to be left to the emperor and the officials.

Otherwise, it seems that he has too much authority...

The emperor will definitely place his people in Yanyun County, but this will not affect the order of Yanyun County.

Chen Jisheng once said that there is no distinction between good officials and bad officials in the world, only capable and mediocre ones.

But even if a mediocre person is in power, as long as the rules are clearly formulated and strictly enforced, nothing will go wrong.

For example, Zhizhou, you are not only an official of Zhizhou in a state, right? If he dares to act recklessly, the officials below also have the right to dismiss or even impeach him!

In this case, no one dares to mess around, and no one can mess around.

This is called institutional justice.

In other words, no matter who the emperor sends down, as long as he is disobedient, Xiao Chen can deal with him at any time.

On his list, there were only two prefecture candidates, but there were more than a dozen candidates for the county magistrate. These were the talents carefully selected by Chen Jisheng and the others who had passed numerous examinations.

In fact, for local governance, the county magistrate is the most important position, because he is the person who deals directly with the people and knows the local people's conditions best.

No matter what strategy Xiao Chen, Chen Jisheng and the others formulate, they will be the final executors.

"Xiao Chen, you now hold great power in Yanyun County. This governor is worthy of the name to manage the army from the horse and the people from the horse." Li Shi said again.

"I understand the meaning of the prince. When I meet the emperor again, I will definitely resign from the position of General Zhengbei. In addition, I don't want any other Xichangchang, Lijian Bingbi, and first-rank eunuchs. Just do it well." I got the Governor." Xiao Chen said.

"The truth?" Li Shi smiled.

"If it's not the truth, it's also a loyal word." Xiao Chen also smiled.

"Let's keep your list for now. I'll discuss it with Wang Anbang later... By the way, shouldn't you also pay back the money you owe me? I heard that you have done quite a lot of business with the northern Xinjiang tribes. Not bad." Li Shi changed the subject.

"It's a lot of money, but it's not enough to spend! Hundreds of thousands of people in Yanyun County are waiting for food. As the governor, I can't just watch them freeze to death and starve to death, right? And the salaries of those officials I haven’t posted it for many years, and I have to make it up for others, I can’t just let the horse run and not feed the horse, right?” Xiao Chen complained.

"In addition, the military expenditure is also quite a lot. The pensions for the soldiers who died in battle cost more than one hundred thousand taels of silver, and the grain and grass were all bought by myself with money. The money given by the imperial court is not enough! I also ate the last meal without the next meal, and I was angry when I said it, the food I bought from Myanmar, not even half of it was left in Yanyun!"

Cry poor after crying for hardship, cry for injustice after crying poor.

I am so wronged, let me tell you!

"You can tell the emperor, you can't talk to me!" Li Shi laughed, "Anyway, you must pay back the money you owe me!"

"I still have to pay it back, my lord, you allow me a year, and I promise to pay you back double." Xiao Chen had this confidence.

Wait until his factories start to make a profit, hehe!

1.8 million silver is nothing.
