Qiming 1158

Chapter 598 Who will be this lucky unlucky bastard?

Some people were surprised by this appointment, while others thought it was reasonable.

Because Zhao Zuoliang is now nominally Su Yonglin's superior, Zhao Zuoliang will not be relieved of his nominal position as leader of the Restoration Army until Su Yonglin announces the official founding of the country and changes the way the Restoration Army exists.

Moreover, Zhao Zuoliang himself has administrative ability, and as Su Yonglin's father-in-law, with a higher status than Su Yonglin, it is also suitable to be the actual leader of the Shangshu Province.

At least neither Yelu Chenghui nor Huo Jianbai dared to say that they were more suitable for this position than Zhao Zuoliang, nor did they dare not listen to his words and act against him.

Just kidding, who is behind him?
Oppose him... Is his political career too wonderful?
Therefore, Zhao Zuoliang came to do Pingzhang political affairs. Although some people think that this belongs to foreign relatives, they dare not say it outright, especially in front of Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin obviously belongs to the use of cronies to control the government, so if it is obvious that he has to fight against him, it is better not to serve in the new dynasty at all.

After this heavy appointment, Su Yonglin appointed Kong Zheng as the Minister of Rites to fully preside over the work of the Rites.

Then he appointed Kong Zheng's friend Zhou Jiang as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, which was regarded as a good assistant for Kong Zheng.

The only act of adding sand to the Ministry of Rites was to appoint Yelujin, a former Khitan official of the Jin Kingdom, as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The three stood up one after another to express their gratitude to Su Yonglin.

Although Su Yonglin arranged a Khitan man to the Ministry of Rites, Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang were of one mind, one was the minister and the other was the left servant, and they could crush Yelujin to death.

Yelu Jin didn't want to come forward.

The Ministry of Rites seems to be nothing, but the Ministry of Rites controls the entire process of the imperial examinations. The officials recommended to the emperor are selected by the Ministry of Rites. Although the Ministry of Personnel is personally controlled by Su Yonglin, as long as there is no problem in the selection of talents, the personnel authority will be handed over to Su Yonglin. How can it be?
As a descendant of the Kong family, in the eyes of outsiders, he was indeed "deserving of his name" as the first minister of rites in this new dynasty.

As for the Khitan Yelujin, he used to be an official in the Ministry of Rites of the Jin Kingdom, and he was a cautious person.

Despite this, some people still feel that it is a bit inappropriate to place a Khitan in the Ministry of Rites, which symbolizes the location of the master of Chinese etiquette.

But Su Yonglin decided this way, and it's not easy for them to oppose it publicly. They can only say that Yelujin will be used as a mascot in their daily work in the future.

The problem of the Ministry of Rites is solved, and the next step is the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.

Su Yonglin appointed Yelu Yuanyi, a former Khitan official of the Jin Kingdom, as the Minister of Civil Affairs, Chen Jichang, who was from Shandong, as the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Han Shiling, a Han from Yanyun, as the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Yelu Yuanyi was originally a leader of the army. After he surrendered, he voluntarily asked to leave the army. He transferred to the civilian system with Yelu Chenghui, and bid farewell to the army completely.

I have to say that his behavior is quite clever. In order to reward his intelligence and his hard work, even though Su Yonglin didn't like him very much, he was appointed Minister of Civil Affairs.

As for Chen Jichang and Han Shiling, of course, they are not good at dealing with each other, but it is rare to have a harmonious relationship between the second-in-command and the third-in-command in a department, right?

Su Yonglin didn't care, as long as they got things done, Su Yonglin didn't care about how many quarrels and secret battles there were in private.

If they go too far, the Skynet Army will naturally tell Su Yonglin all of them.

Then there is the Ministry of Finance.

The Ministry of Finance is a major department that manages money, and it is of great significance. No strong emperor does not regard financial issues as issues that he must manage. Even Emperor Jiajing, who has not been to the court for decades, will be very concerned about financial issues.

So Su Yonglin thought about it and decided to give her a chance.

He appointed Lin Jingchun, who was from his own family, as Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Li Bao, an official from Bohai, as the left servant of the Ministry of Finance, and Cao Kai, who was from Shandong, was appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of Finance.

Lin Jingchun has been helping him manage financial problems since they were still illicit salt dealers.

For more than three years, the Liberation Army has not been without financial difficulties, but Lin Jingchun has never made a mistake.

He tried his best to maintain the normal operation of the finances, which can be described as hard work.

Therefore, other cronies could not help, but Lin Jingchun, who was born in an ordinary farmer, was able to be promoted to the position of the new country's big housekeeper by virtue of his own skills.

There is actually nothing worth fighting over for the remaining Ministry of Works. Unless the intention is not for the government, but only to make money, then the position of the Ministry of Industry is indeed possible to make money.

Especially now, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the management of the Yellow River, which may be raging at any time, will become the primary responsibility of the Ministry of Industry. In this process, there will be a lot of capital flows, and it is not too difficult to make a fortune from it. .

But at the same time, the Yellow River is also a huge time bomb. No one knows when and where the Yellow River will burst. When the time comes, the people will complain, hundreds of officials will ridicule, Su Yonglin will be furious, and the Ministry of Industry will definitely take the blame.

So at this stage, everyone was not interested in the Ministry of Works, and even had a faint pity and gloating over the first Minister of the Ministry of Works.

Who will be this lucky unlucky bastard?

But no one expected that Su Yonglin would make a speech specifically for the Ministry of Industry.

"The Ministry of Works, since there are six departments, the Ministry of Works is the one that gets the least attention, because there are always people who think that working is a lowly thing, and that people with skills such as skilled craftsmen are not good people, and they will not admit that they have anything. status.

But I want to say that this kind of thinking is completely wrong. Technology is really important, and skilled craftsmen are really important. Back then, golden thieves ravaged the Central Plains and killed countless people, but the only ones who survived were skilled craftsmen who still had skills.

Wilders like the golden thief all know the importance of skilled craftsmen, but we in China actually regard skilled craftsmen as sluts, but we don't know how important a skilled craftsman who can create powerful weapons is?How much credit can you make to help the army?

Back then, the craftsmen of the Xia State made the divine arm bow and showed great power on the battlefield. The Song army was terrified and hurried to study and imitate it. It must be known that the powerful ordnance has always been the powerful arm of our Central Plains army, so it was able to defeat the Saiwai tribe's southward attack, but when was it Xia's turn? Did the Chinese craftsman invent the God Arm Bow before us? "

Su Yonglin pounded on the table and said bitterly: "I thought that the ancestors thought that the development of technology was not good, maybe it was because they had suffered like that. It must have happened earlier that people pursued new technologies because of technological progress, but new technologies Incomplete, and tragic things happened in the end.

From this, the ancestors came to a conclusion that the new technology will never be as reliable as our own diligence. Diligence can make you always have food, but once the new technology fails, you will have no food. I think the ancestors should be out of Distrust of technology for survival purposes.

However, technological development is inevitable, and it is obvious that new tools are more conducive to production than old tools. Some small problems can be constantly repaired, but they cannot be rejected, and technological development cannot be regarded as a monstrous beast because of the words of the ancestors, and it will be forever from now on. Do not believe.

This is a bullshit, and it is wrong. This concept must be corrected. I feel very sad and angry at the outflow of technology and craftsmen. I also know that you are not willing to take the Ministry of Industry. The thing, so, the season! "

"Chen is here!"

Shi Zheng, head of the Ordnance Department under Lin Jingchun's command, stood up.

"I will give you the task of the Minister of Industry, whether it is to repair the city wall, repair the road, repair the Yellow River, or invent ordnance to make ordnance, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and it is also your responsibility. Lin Jingchun is your old boss, how to use the money, you communicate with him directly and cooperate sincerely!"

"Here!"

Shi Zheng's face was excited.

Lin Jingchun smiled and nodded, obviously very happy that the old subordinate he brought out was promoted to the post of Minister of Works.
