The house is being renovated. Craftsmen from Kaifeng Mansion are coming and going, taking measurements and drawing ink lines. Only the main hall has not been touched, but the plaque has also been taken down. It is bustling inside, like a market. "Use the Border Affairs Division to promote the military affairs in the southwest and promote the military art of generals in Shu! Your Majesty has decided to name border affairs in the Chachuan Gorge. Not only the southwest barbarians, but also the Tubo affairs will be included in the division. From this point of view, at least ten generals will be included. "Commander Baidu!" "Since the Border Affairs Division is in charge of southwest affairs, it should also be in charge of matters related to Dali and the barbarian countries in the southwest. Then the tribute orders from Dali and other countries should come from the Border Affairs Division, and the border affairs should also be handled by the Border Affairs Division. "The Border Affairs Department takes copper matters as its priority. We should ask the court for copper copies, at least one million coins!" Wang Chong followed Zong Ze into the main hall and faced him with heated words. Rushing forward, it creates a hot scene of having sex. There were more than a hundred people crowded in the main hall, offering suggestions one after another. They not only wanted to take over everything from military affairs to diplomacy and commercial matters, but they were also afraid of making things smaller and worked hard to make things bigger. Looking at these motivated colleagues, Wang Chong thought to himself, no wonder he was regarded as evil. The strategy I proposed was to set up a new pot for the greedy people. Money, power, and fame are all boiling in this pot. Now these people are clamoring because they want to make this pot bigger so that they can cut more meat from the country and stew it. The Border Affairs Office was newly established. Except for the chief and deputy envoys and judges, as well as Wang Chong, who was promoted by Cai Jing to dislike Wang Fu, all other tasks were determined by Wang Fu's promotion. Among these hundreds of people, there are also officials who have the power to co-judge, supervise the Gouji machine and writing, supervise the Gou writing machine and write, conduct official business, prepare orders and other officials. The scale is close to that of Yilu Shuaisi. Once Wang Fu gained power, all his cronies and cronies who were not worthy of being on the stage were squeezed in. "Rulin is here, and Shouzheng is here! Come on, everyone is here to meet Shouzheng. Thanks to Shouzheng, we have a place to stretch our ambitions." A handsome middle-aged man in purple robe was sitting in the hall. When he saw the two people coming in, he stood up enthusiastically. greeted. This is Wang Fu, I have to say. His appearance and demeanor are truly one-of-a-kind, and he is so suave that Yuwen Huangzhong pales in comparison. Especially those eyes, radiant. When Wang Chong saw him, he understood why the history books said that this person's "eyes were as clear as gold." It didn't mean that he was like gold, but that he was shining like gold and iron. There was no particularly warm arm-in-arm pat on the shoulder, nor was there the expected alienation and indifference. Wang Fu's tone was as natural and calm as if he was introducing his nephew to everyone. A group of young and old people in the hall were also smiling, and even greeted him with a bit of fawning. Most of them didn't call it "press hook", but directly called "keep upright", which made Wang Chong feel numb. "This house was originally the residence of Wang Wenzheng's family. Wang Zhonghe, Wen Zhenggong's second son, was also named Wang Chong. I asked the officials for this house because I borrowed the virtues of Wen Zhenggong Yu Ze and Wang Zhonghe, as well as their ability to uphold justice ¡¡± Wang Fu started nagging again, and Wang Dan¡¯s second son called Wang Chong to start the conversation. Give Wang Chong a good lift. Wang Chong smiled lightly and returned the greeting in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. I feel depressed and happy at the same time. What¡¯s depressing is that Wang Chong¡¯s behavior is telling everyone that Wang Chong is Wang Chong¡¯s man, and this plan was proposed through Wang Chong. It doesn't matter what the scoundrels in this room think. Zongze's face becomes more and more gloomy, which not only means that his reputation has taken another step towards being a villain, but also working with Zongze in the future will cause a lot of trouble. But compared to feeling refreshed, this depression can be tolerated. Even though Wang Fu was showing off his posture, he was actually scolding his mother. Wang Chong was sent to the Comfort Department by Wang Fu, but he didn't give Wang Fu any face and gave him a slap in the face. Although Nan Xi Ce and the Border Affairs Division averted most people's attention, smart people could see from Cai Jing's pushing Wang Chong into the Border Affairs Division that Wang Chong's distinct attitude towards him was not Deliberately done for outsiders to see. Wang Fu should be no less depressed than himself for having to greet such a small person with a smile and praise him for not giving him any face. After all, the spirit is the spirit. The reason why Wang Fu can put aside this spirit is that the Border Affairs Department can bring him great benefits. If you can bring in all your close friends and stay for a year or two, you will have the qualifications to join the court. From this point of view, Wang Chong and Wang Fu were in the same state of mind. "Rulin did not resign from this job, which is beyond my expectation. Since the name of the Border Affairs Secretary is border affairs, someone must be there to arrange the marriage. If you can get Rulin, it will be like having an arm, and you will have no worries in the southwest." Then Wang Fu turned to praise Zongze again. Although his attitude was not as close to Wang Chong, he was more respectful and even felt a bit sincere. Wang Chong could also guess the reason. Wang Fu had no one available, so he probably grabbed Zongze randomly. After all, this person has a tough temper and is difficult to get along with. Cai Jing and Zheng Juzhong are unwilling to use him. He happens to be in the capital, so he is the only candidate he can immediately place in the Border Affairs Department to take charge of practical matters. Zongze cupped his hands and said: "Both the promotion and the promotion are part of the country's work. I dare not speak privately." One sentence broke up Wang Fu's intention to get close to each other, but Wang Fu didn't care and said with a smile: "Rulin, Rulin, if you have such a public heart, I have nothing to worry about." Wang Chong didn't quite understand why Zongze was doing it. I will accept this mission, but at this time, I listened to Zongze¡¯s words sincerely. I guess he has also considered the southwest affairs and feels that this matter is feasible. Even if he has to be stained with the bad name of Wang Fu¡¯s party, Zongze doesn¡¯t care. . The scheduled border affairs envoy Xu Churen and deputy envoy Tang Ke can't come to Bianliang at the moment, and they are not Wang Fu's people. After being polite, everyone sat down one after another and informally called the first plenary meeting of the Chachuanxia Border Affairs Department. was held. According to the official document, the seats of Xu Churen and Tang Ke were vacated, and Zongze, as the judge of the marriage, took his first seat on the left. Next are the two judges Quan Tong who will stay in Bianliang, again Ji Yi and Shu Ji Yi. Among the more than ten people doing business, Wang Chong was ranked at the top, only two places away from Zongze. All of them have seats, and there is only one chair for official business, and the next generation of officials will have to stand. Wang Fu was talking and Wang Chong was thinking, vaguely feeling that it was not much different from the nine-hundred-year-old bureaucratic meeting, that is, it was more formal and the words were more obscure. As the first meeting of the newly established yamen, how to divide departments, how to assign responsibilities, and how to set work goals, these topics caused a hot stench, just like a robber dividing his stolen goods. Wang Fu denied such things as promoting the art of war and taking charge of matters. Please ask for ambitious goals such as copper coins. Of course he thinks about it, but each of these things is a great challenge to the power held by Cai Jing and Zheng Juzhong. He doesn't have the energy to go that far now, and Zhao Ji can't support him to disrupt the southwest. "The Border Affairs Department has three priorities for the new year. One is to deal with copper, one is to promote the attachment of Luo's ghosts to the country, and the other is to seize the transportation issues" Wang Fu had to say something about the annual work goals of the Border Affairs Department. His staff are still talented and can grasp the key points of the matter. Of course, they are the key to climbing up through the Border Affairs Department. There is copper in the southwest. This is the foothold of Wang Chong's southwest policy. The Border Affairs Department must prove his worth in this matter. Otherwise, people will question whether it is necessary to exist. Although it is impossible for the Border Affairs Department to seize the authority of the Road Department, nor can it invite millions of copper coins to be shared by everyone, it is necessary to set up some departments and implement some policies to increase copper imports from the southwestern border areas. These basic tasks Still have to do it. It¡¯s not enough to just show performance on copper matters, as long as the policy is proven to be feasible. The court can completely hand over relevant matters to the Department of Coastal Roads. Therefore, the Border Affairs Department must have a great achievement to prove that it is correct for him to be responsible for the southwest affairs, such as the Luo family's ghost country attachment that has been brewing. Wang Chong guessed that this matter was what Wang Fu was most concerned about. Able to conquer a vassal state without fighting. This merit is enough to push him into two houses. The third point is the long-term goal of the Border Affairs Department. The new year is just preparation for this matter. Dali has already paid tribute. If the Border Affairs Secretary can take charge of the affairs between the two countries, it will shake up the court structure. No matter whether the Border Affairs Department is abolished or established in the future. Anyone who has anything to do with this matter can join the court. all in all. These three points are all aimed at Wang Fu establishing the "royal party" in the court. Wang Chong peeked at Zongze and saw his gloomy face, so he probably understood Wang Fu's plan. "Everyone can say what they want. The affairs in the Southwest are big and we need to pool the wisdom of everyone. If you can't say enough, you can also recommend virtuous people. The officials have set an additional expenditure of 3,000 guan a month for the Border Affairs Department. There is not much left. "Little." Wang Fu changed the topic and revealed the financial background of this department, which made everyone take a breath, and the heat increased by three points. The establishment of this yamen is so big? What is the concept of three thousand strings? This does not include official money, only the additional expenses for dispatch, and does not include the office expenses of the Border Affairs Department, totaling three thousand guan. A person who has no official status and is ready to serve can only get three guans per month. This means that the Border Affairs Department can support a thousand people Of course, it is impossible to have so many people in reality. Most of the confidants Wang Fu brought in have To be an official, you must get at least five guans. There are also a lot of quotas given to related households to be used as human relations officers who do not handle affairs. The size of the entire Border Affairs Department should not exceed 500 people, and the actual number of people working is estimated to be no more than 100 people. Wang Fu specifically named him: "Rulin, Shou Zheng, if there are talents among your relatives and friends, there is no need to avoid suspicion and recommend them together. In addition to getting married in Shu, I also hope that there will be people who work in Beijing. The Border Affairs Department has been newly established and has a wide network." "Open!" This is sharing the spoils, and it's just the most basic. Wang Fu has to be kind and leave some pits for everyone to share. Regardless of whether it's true or not, Zongze and Wang Chong are people he values ????and he must make an adequate gesture. Zongze pondered for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "I'll allow you to think about it." This is also normal. Zongze will definitely take his nephew to Shu. The nephew will be posted as a minister, which can not only supplement the family's income, but also help with work. As for being in Beijing, Wang Fuyi said that even if there is a shortage, it is probably just for work like running errands. The opportunity in the early years of Lu DivisionIn fact, writing is specifically for the nephew of the chief official. After all, the correspondence between the chief official and the court, as well as the arrangement of affairs, are often confidential. It is not easy for outsiders to control the writing. Only relatives can be used. The imperial court regards this kind of work as incorporated into the system. ???????????????????? Jiyi characters gradually became a staff member of Lu Si Shuaisi, and then there was an additional person who wrote Jiyi characters to accommodate the nephew of the official. But as time went by, the writing Jiyi script also followed the footsteps of Jiyi script and became a formal official, just like Wang Chong. Sun Xisou's son was also responsible for writing and writing, but his authority was not as valuable as Wang Chong's. Of course Wang Chong would not refuse. Wang Fu had big plans, and he also had small plans. Like Zong Ze, he said he had to consider candidates. The next step is to agree on the division of departments and personnel. The Border Affairs Department will set up a reporting room, Tongshi room, Luzhou room, Rongzhou room and several logistics departments in Bianliang. Among them, Luzhou Fang was in charge of promoting the affairs of the Luo family's ghost country, and Rongzhou Fang was in charge of transportation affairs in Dali. It stands to reason that Jiazhou is closer to Dali, but Jiazhou belongs to Chengdu Fu Road and was probably pushed back by Cai Jing. In fact, the Border Affairs Department can only start its work based on Zizhou Road, especially Luzhou. Tang Ke, the absent deputy envoy, was arranged to take charge of the Rongzhou house in person, and Zongze took charge of the Luzhou house in person. Wang Chong was also entrusted with the case of the Luzhou house owner, as Zongze's direct subordinate. Zongze also wanted to know Linzhou. This was not only aimed at promoting Luo's ghosts to attach themselves to the country, but also a common rule in officialdom. If Wang Fu wants to motivate Zongze, he must not treat him badly. Although he has promoted Zongze to a first-level official position, going to Shu is close to a demotion and he has to make up for it in terms of salary. If you don¡¯t hold a local position, you will have no job income. Just like Tang Ke, although he was appointed deputy envoy, he also knew Rongzhou. Wang Chong's duty of informing and developing Wenzhai has not changed, and this is also due to this reason. This matter indeed messes up local governance and interferes with the personnel power of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and even the Political Affairs Hall. However, whether it is Rongzhou or the smaller Linzhou, they are both remote places, and Cai Jing cannot stop them to the end. "Dividing responsibilities is also dividing the wealth. Which one is in charge will eat which one. There is nothing to argue about the personnel arrangement of Rongzhou Fang and Luzhou Fang. The people who were assigned to the rooms were a little frustrated. Whether it was Dali Kingdom or Luo Clan Ghost Kingdom, they only had merit, and it was difficult to see actual benefits. Those assigned to the copper office are probably closer to Wang Fu. When it comes to work, everyone speaks enthusiastically. After all, this is the department where the money is made. There is copper in the southwest, but there is still a lot of debate about how to do it. There was talk of directly borrowing the copper book and letting the Border Affairs Department carry out the investigation, but the movement was too big. Although Wang Fu was favored, he was not yet able to seize millions of state funds from Cai Jing, and Cai Jing would not allow him to use the copper book. Get started with the matter and gain exclusive control over the Sichuan Gorge. It is also said that the Border Affairs Department will issue policies to promote the barbarians to sell copper, and the numbers in the hands of the Transport Department will be regarded as merits. However, in this way, the merits of the Border Affairs Department will not be shown. It seems that Wang Fu is not sure yet. Wang Chong did not specify how to operate in his letter and "Southwestern Yi Zhi", so this matter still needs time to brew. "For this matter, I can only trouble Shouzheng to return to Luzhou as soon as possible and come up with the charter. Zongjian still needs to stay until Xu Bianshi takes office" Wang Fu looked like he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility and couldn't wait to drive Wang Chong out of Bianliang. , and Liu Zongze spent more time and energy to win over, Wang Chong and Zongze bickered at the same time. "It would be nice if there was someone in Bianliang" It was already dusk when the meeting ended. Wang Fu also dragged Wang Chong and Zongze to the banquet, but Wang Chong and Zongze refused. Stepping out of the yamen of the Border Affairs Department, Wang Chong suddenly felt that the Border Affairs Department was going through so much trouble in Bianliang, and if no one informed him, he would be really passive. Wu Kuang came up to him and said casually: "Why don't you officials relax? I haven't even been to Sangjia Wazi since I came to Bianliang." Wang Chong looked at Wu Kuang and felt something in his heart, "No, let's go to your house. " Wu Kuang was surprised. Even if he was smart, he would never have thought that Wang Chong had made up his mind with the intention of grabbing it and using it. The so-called opportunity was nothing more than this.
