Chapter 506 The Legacy of the Golden Empire
As far as Kong Zheng knows, Kong Maojie holds the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the Secretariat.

This secretariat is not tied with several other specific departments, and the level is not high, but it is very important.

Because Su Yonglin is in charge, the General Affairs Bureau has a large number of government affairs that need to be decided and handled by Su Yonglin every day, which makes Su Yonglin busy with government affairs and lack of skills.

So he set up a secretariat and selected shrewd and capable subordinates to enter the secretariat to help him deal with the increasingly heavy government affairs.

There are not many people in the secretariat. It looks like a dozen people. The position is not high, and the authority is not very heavy, but because he is with Su Yonglin and is Su Yonglin's side, it is naturally valued by people.

Kong Maojie, who shares the same surname as him, as the deputy secretary general, seems to be a person who is very trusted by Su Yonglin.

Kong Zheng thought about it this way, so he even thought about using the point that both of them were surnamed Kong to have a relationship with him.

But the situation does not seem to be as simple as he thought.

This Secretary-General Kong seems to really dislike what he does, and is very disgusted with these gold and silver.

"Secretary-General Kong, this... is just a little thought..."

"I understand it, but don't do such a thing again. If Mr. Kong thinks that there is too much money, he can donate the money to the General Administration Bureau. The General Administration Bureau is worried that there is not enough money to appease the people."

Kong Maojie said yin and yang strangely, gave a simple salute, and left.

Leaving Kong Zheng was both angry and scared.

Of course, it was Kong Maojie's attitude that made him very unhappy.

He was also a duke and a respected figure in the previous dynasty. Even if the Jin Kingdom is over now, when the new state is established, wouldn't he still use his Confucius name to win over scholars all over the world?
How dare you, a small deputy secretary-general, dare to talk to me like this?

And who doesn't know that your Restoration Army squeezed millions of taels of gold and tens of millions of taels of silver from Jin Guo?
There are also all kinds of jewelry and antiques that the entire palace can't hold. It is estimated that all kinds of cultural relics have been piled up into mountains. With such a large amount of wealth, you still think it's not enough, and you think it's too little?

Of course fear is real.

Kong Zheng was also afraid that Kong Maojie was too close to Su Yonglin, and a few bad words would be enough to cast a shadow over his purpose and prevent his purpose from being well realized.

He had heard that Su Yonglin was promoting a large number of his own people to be local officials and central officials, and he was also selecting a large number of bureaucrats from the former Jin Kingdom to join the political system of the Restoration Army.

The current situation is that a large number of Yanyun Han people have joined the liberation military government, and even some Khitans and Xi people have been accepted.

For example, Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi, the former high-ranking officials of the Jin Empire, were both included in the General Affairs Bureau as a symbol of the high-ranking Khitan officials of the Jin Kingdom joining the liberation military government.

As representatives of the Han people in Yanyun, Han Shiling, the former governor of Jizhou, and Hou Liangzhe, the former governor of Confucianism, also joined the General Affairs Bureau and joined the liberation military government, becoming symbols.

Not to mention the Khitans and Xi people, they are part of the non-me race, and they will definitely not be able to urinate in a pot.

Not to mention Su Yonglin's old minions. In the future, when Su Yonglin becomes the emperor, these people are prime ministers, and everyone can't go all the way.

Speaking of the Han people in Yanyun alone, it is more difficult to deal with the Han people in the Central Plains.

As the first group of Han people to break away from the rule of the Central Plains Empire, when the Jin Kingdom was reintroduced into the same ruling system, there was already a big difference between the Han people in Yanyun and the Han people in the Central Plains, and there was also a big prejudice between them.

Thanks to Song Huizong's salacious manipulations, the Northern Song Dynasty was completely defeated, and the Han people in Yanyun saw how weak and incompetent the Han people in the Central Plains were, and how ugly they were as the conquered.

So for some time, the Han people in Yanyun looked down on the Han people in the Central Plains.

The Han people in the Central Plains also disliked Yanyun Han people living together with Hu people for a long time.

Therefore, it is not a matter of a day or two for the two groups to despise each other and engage in regional blackmail.

Although the current Su Yonglin regime, the representative of the Han regime in the Central Plains, used sheer violence to crush the Jin Empire, destroy the Jin Empire, humiliate the Jin Kingdom's royal family, and put the Jin Kingdom's dignitaries on trial, this series of actions greatly shocked Yan Yunhan. people.

This made the Han people in Yanyun realize that the Han people in the Central Plains were still full of martial virtues, so they slightly changed their views on the Han people in the Central Plains.

But the differences brought about by centuries of different situations between them cannot be easily bridged.

Su Yonglin, a fierce man from the sky, can use his super strength and prestige to simultaneously subdue various ethnic groups and make them use them for himself, but the contradictions between them are definitely not small.

The Han people in the Central Plains obviously would not regard the Yanyun Han bureaucrats as their own.

As a result, Kong Zheng suddenly realized that there were not many opportunities left for the locals in Shandong. If they continued to wait, maybe they could only get leftovers that others didn't want.

Before the new country was established and the imperial examination system had not been decided to resume, the local gentry could not eat well or sleep well.

The purpose of Kong Zheng's coming here is not only to recommend himself to Su Yonglin, but also to make suggestions to Su Yonglin, which is also a test, asking him to restore the imperial examination system, to test his attitude towards the Han people and officials in the Central Plains, and whether he is ready to become an emperor or not. plans and the like.

And now the situation is so tense, many important central positions have been occupied, can Kong Zheng not be in a hurry?
That is, Su Yonglin agreed to meet him, indicating that Su Yonglin still thought about them, otherwise Kong Zheng would have to consider whether he should go south to the Southern Sect.

After tidying up his mind a little and sorting out his thoughts, Kong Zheng regained his composure.

He is very clear about what he needs and what price he can give. As long as he can negotiate, the status of Kong's family in the new dynasty will definitely be publicized, and maybe it can be restored to the kind of Kong Yingda who led Kong's family in Tang Taizong's time. brilliant.

Su Yonglin agreed to meet Kong Zheng in the afternoon, and put it in the past, when Su Yonglin took a nap after lunch.

But today, he decided to use this time to meet Kong Zheng, who had been waiting for him for more than a month.

He knew that Kong Zheng's intentions were nothing more than those things. He hadn't seen him before because some things had not been completed and some positions had not been assigned, but now he was almost ready, and he could give Kong Zheng a wave of extreme pressure and put him under pressure. seek greater benefits.

Su Yonglin has no plans to become an emperor now, but in the not-too-distant future, he wants to become an emperor. In fact, now he is doing the emperor's business. He has military merit and prestige to have power no less than an emperor, but he doesn't Just a name.

However, some preliminary preparations for the establishment of the country and the regime must also be done well. For example, the prototype of the future imperial court-the General Affairs Bureau will be set up at this time. When the time comes, it will be directly expanded into the imperial court, transformed on the spot, and completed the change.

At the moment when he cannot rashly change the main contradiction and target, he must accept these elite scholar-bureaucrats into his regime to help him share the administrative pressure.

However, considering some uncontrollable harms in doing so, he felt that he had to exert his own initiative to curb the impact of the harm to the greatest extent possible.

The Han people and doctors in the Central Plains cannot be allowed to become the mainstream in the future court, and even overwhelm the headquarters of his Revival Society.

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce other political groups to check and balance each other in the arena, and to suppress the Han people and doctors in the Central Plains to the maximum extent.

Although they could rely on the imperial examination to achieve the violence of numbers, it would take time, and with that time, Su Yonglin could take care of them himself.

When the headquarters of the Renaissance Society was still young, more helpers were needed to help curb the expansion of the power of the Han people and doctors in the imperial court.

It was at this time that Su Yonglin noticed the complicated situation in the Yanyun area and the legacy in another sense left to him by the Jin Empire.

A slack in which political groups can be divided in ways that are visible to the naked eye.

A means of operation that relies on their contradictions to achieve a balance of checks and balances.
