Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1587 Post
"I will have an audience with His Majesty, and request the establishment of a postal department under the Ministry of War to take charge of post station affairs across the country, and formally undertake the postal business of the world."

Fang Jun's voice sounded, but the officials in front of him looked blank.

Even though he knew that Fang Jun must have important decisions to make today, the establishment of a "post office" under the headquarters of the Ministry of War was still far beyond everyone's expectations.

The postal service... what is it?
It sounds like it has something to do with the post station, and probably also with the "Datang Culture Promotion Association", but the connection between the two is really unexpected, and the name is also unheard of...

Just when everyone was still at a loss, Cui Dunli leaned his upper body forward slightly, and said in a firm tone: "Master Fang, you have a lot of tasks on your shoulders. After all, you have limited energy. I am willing to help Fang Shilang solve his problems. This 'postal secretary' will be assigned to you." Let the officials take charge of the preparations."

The officials were startled when they heard the words, and then came to their senses, patting their thighs and sighing with regret!
Who is Fang Jun?The hottest celebrity in front of His Majesty's eyes!As long as he proposes the establishment, the new office of the Ministry of War, the "Post Department", will definitely be approved by the Zhengshitang.The most important thing is that although Fang Jun's ideas are often wild and unconstrained, behind every unimaginable operation is a huge success.

Who is the most powerful person in the Ministry of War right now?
The first is Liu Shi, and the second is Du Zhijing.

Needless to say, Liu Xun, the "Foundry Bureau" into which countless money has been poured into has already become the most eye-catching project in Chang'an City. Even the servants of the other five ministries are envious, let alone the officials of the Ministry of War?Du Zhijing was responsible for drawing the map of Goguryeo, which seemed useless, but in fact, Liu Shi didn't need to lose any color.Not to mention that the map will be rewarded by His Majesty after the map is successfully drawn. If the Eastern Expedition goes smoothly, it is more likely to win a title due to meritorious service. It is enough for Du Zhijing to assign and appoint all the resources of the Ministry of War and the "Eastern Datang Company". All the military officials are salivating...

Now Fang Jun is about to set up a "post office", is there any doubt about the future?

It must be a department with a weight in the Ministry of War!

Who in this department is not willing to go to serve as a doctor?
However, it was only a little slow to react, and Cui Dunli took the lead...

motherfucker!

After all, you are also a child of the Cui family in Boling, so it's really good to be so thick-skinned to curry favor with Fang Jun, His Majesty's "vanguard" who suppresses the powerful?
Fang Jun smiled, nodded his head and said: "In this case, Mr. Lao Cui is here, but the specific rules of the 'postal department' can only be released after I have an audience with His Majesty. In the meantime, you should find a handy one. The subordinates of the Ministry of War will set up the framework. If the Ministry of War does not have enough manpower, it can be transferred from various yamen under the Ministry of War, even if it is transferred from other yamen. Anyway, you are the doctor of the official department, and you can issue documents yourself. The transfer of officials, the official will not refuse to do so."

He is indeed the "vanguard" of His Majesty Li Er to suppress the powerful, but the primary target is not the Shandong gentry headed by the Cui family.

There must be a priority in everything. If you are blindly aggressive, the result will often be disappointing.It is the best strategy to first target the Guanlong nobles and appease or even temporarily unite the Shandong gentry.

When all the officials heard Fang Jun's words, their eyes turned red with envy...

Various yamen transfer officials?

But Cui Dunli was allowed to arrange the rhythm of his cronies at will!Undoubtedly, the entire Boling Cui family will benefit a lot from the rise of the "Post Office". Many family members and old relatives will inevitably fill every corner of the "Post Office". Cui Dunli will thus become a family A person who has an important right to speak among them!
The seniority among the aristocratic family is well-organized. For an official in his early thirties like Cui Dunli, even a little right to speak represents a straight-line rise in status, allowing the family to see its bright prospects and potential. When promoted in the future, It will inevitably get a lot of tilt from the family resources...

Don't think that as a child of a powerful family, you will inevitably receive the care and support of the family. Resources are limited, and favors are also limited. The more you use them, the less they are used. How can you let at least a dozen or as many as dozens of young juniors Even rain and dew?There must be trade-offs and priorities, and only those descendants of aristocrats who can be recognized by the family and given a lot of resources to support them can rely on the family's energy to make steady progress and rise all the way.

Cui Dunli didn't expect such a good thing to happen. He was so surprised that his mouth grew slightly, and he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He quickly got up from his seat, bowed respectfully and saluted, and said with a blushing face: Thank you Fang Shilang for your trust, please rest assured Fang Shilang, I will definitely do my best in a humble position and live up to your trust!"

This statement is almost equivalent to an oath of allegiance.

However, Cui Dunli said that there was no pressure at all. The Shandong gentry and the Guanlong nobles could not urinate in the same pot. At the beginning, the Guanlong nobles obtained super high political rewards by supporting His Majesty Li Er, so they began to suppress the Shandong gentry non-stop. .

And look at the thousand-year-old hairpin tassels and hundreds of generations of Shandong gentry, only a few middle-level officials such as Cui Dunli and Zhang Xingcheng in the court, you can see how deeply they hate the suppression of the Guanlong nobles...

If you can use Fang Junzhi's power to free the family from the oppression of the Guanlong nobles, let alone thick-skinned, what is it to make Cui Dunli kneel and kowtow?
Fang Jun was also very pleased and accepted Cui Dunli's sense of current affairs.

Don't underestimate the Shandong gentry. Although they have been suppressed by the Guanlong nobles since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they feel that they have disappeared, but their powerful background far exceeds that of the Guanlong nobles who started with the "Six Xianbei Towns". Just give them a little If you have enough space, you can take advantage of the situation and make waves.

Historically, after the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, almost all the nobles in Guanlong were wiped out, but the deep-rooted Shandong nobles and Jiangnan aristocratic families preserved their strength in the troubled times and continued.

Therefore, it is fine to take advantage of the Shandong gentry, but you must not take this caged tiger lightly, otherwise it is very likely to be backlashed by it...

After all, the interests of the family are the supreme pursuit of all clansmen. Whether it is favor or morality, it is just a passing cloud in their eyes. Only the survival of the family is the top priority.

At the end of the meeting, Fang Jun was preparing a plan for the "postal department" and wrote a memorial carefully, but got the news that Wei Zheng died of illness...

Fang Jun sat blankly in the duty room for a while, then returned to the mansion to take a bath and change clothes, waiting to go to Wei Mansion with his father to express condolences.

*****
Returning to the mansion, he took off his official robes, took a bath and changed into a navy blue straight dress, and when he came out, he saw his father Fang Xuanling was already wearing a stone blue gown, nodded to Fang Jun with a calm expression, and put his hands behind his back. Go out of the hall first.

Fang Jun quickly followed.

The carriage was already prepared at the gate, and Fang Jun did not ride a horse. The father and son took the same carriage and went straight to Yongxingfang Wei Mansion.

At this moment, Yongxing Square is already full of white flags and crying.

Although Wei Zheng is a "top iron" official in front of His Majesty Li Er, His Majesty Li Er often gritted his teeth against him, but among the people, Wei Zheng's honest and upright style and impartial official voice are excellent, almost half of Chang'an City After hearing the news of Wei Zheng's death, the common people cried bitterly and spontaneously went to Wei's mansion to express their condolences.

Therefore, the gate of Yongxingfang is already full of people in the city...

The carriage couldn't get into the square gate, so we had to get off at a place far away from the square gate.

When Fang's father and son got out of the carriage, they saw many horses and carriages on the left and right, all of them came to express their condolences, including royal relatives, court officials, and they couldn't enter the square gate, so they all stopped here, and people passed by on foot.

There are many people in this place, and the family general Bu Qu who followed hurriedly stepped forward to protect the father and son tightly in the middle, staring at the people nearby, and entered the gate under the escort of the guards of Jingzhao Mansion.

Inside the square gate, an official from the Jingzhao Mansion stepped forward to salute, first bowed politely to Fang Xuanling, and then smiled wryly at Fang Jun: "There are many people here, and they all come here spontaneously to mourn Wei Gong. It is not easy to drive them away, so that Lord Hou has to come here, it is really a humble job."

Fang Jun nodded and signaled: "This is what it should be, but we still have to screen carefully to prevent people with ulterior motives from mixing in. In case of any accident, it is a small matter for you to receive punishment. If it causes bad consequences, it will be a big problem." .”

Fang Jun has never met this official, but this does not affect the official's respect for him.

As the first Jingzhao Yin since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, everything in Jingzhao Mansion today was founded by Fang Jun. Which official of Jingzhao Mansion would dare to disrespect Fang Jun in front of him?
Although Fangfu Yin is no longer in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the legend of Fangfu Yin is still circulating in the yamen...
