Chapter 1282 The bald head is scratched shorter, and the hairpin is full of lust

Li Tingji, the old firefighter, not only has to coordinate the overall planning, but also is responsible for mediating the contradictions between various departments.

For example, there are always quarrels between the Audit Department and the Ministry of Industry because the application for funds cannot be paid. The Audit Department has to strictly review, and the Ministry of Industry is waiting for the money to be used. The two parties are always arguing endlessly.

In the end, Li Tingji was forced to arrange the two departments to work together. The two sides face to face and discuss all the issues. You can see my work progress, and I can also see your work progress. understanding.

This method was useful, Li Tingji was able to take a breather, of course it was just a respite, it was impossible to even think about taking a break, Xiao Ruxun had equipped him with more than 20 assistants, and he was too busy.

There is no way, this is the first time to host such a special birthday banquet, and it is also the first time to entertain so many heavyweight foreign guests. Safety, etiquette, Daqin's appearance, etc. are all very important.

For this reason, the inner and outer walls of Beijing and the city walls of Miyagi were arranged to undergo a large-scale renovation. Of course, this was all in the charge of the army. The military expenses were paid directly, and Li Tingji was not responsible for it. Xiao Ruxun directly assigned the manpower. Management, lighten Li Tingji's burden.

On the day of the birthday, the army's route into the city has been completely figured out. There will be a large number of people on both sides of the road to watch the ceremony. In addition to the parade troops, more security forces will be responsible for managing safety.

This responsibility fell on the Central Guards, and Han Degong started to get busy. Of course, he was happy to be busy, so he didn't have to care about the invitations to eat, hunt and visit brothels.

There are too many things to do, Li Tingji sighed deeply, if the Ming Dynasty is still there, with the efficiency and style of the central government of the Ming Dynasty, it will be done in three years, let alone three months not good.

Among other things, such a large amount of capital flow will quarrel for several months without any results. Civil officials from the north and the south will quarrel with each other, and even fight over money. I will take as much as you want, and the emperor will personally participate. It didn't work either.

Because the emperor has no real financial power, and the treasury is empty, if the money is directly used from within, the emperor would probably not be happy, would he?
The Great Qin Dynasty was different. The emperor issued an order without any obstacles or doubts, and the huge central government acted quickly.

A large number of officials began to act, a large amount of money began to flow around, and office personnel and supplies ran around all over the place. This department and that department were all working without stopping for a moment.

Not only that, the black and white impermanence of the audit department and the investigation department floated around in the palace all day long, frightening the people in the whole palace.

It is said that the biggest worry of officials in the palace is not that they are too busy with work, but that they lose too much hair.

Often when two officials meet each other, they will take off their official hats, reveal their heads, look at each other and see who has less hair, and then recite together a sentence "the white head is scratched shorter, and the hairpin is full of lust".

At this time, Xiao Ruxun could feel that there was not enough manpower, which indeed affected the efficiency of work to a certain extent, but increasing manpower required great caution.

Every time Xiao Ruxun expands the number of central officials, he will do a lot of data analysis.

If the increase in manpower is too much at this time, it will indeed be smooth at this time, but not to mention palace expenses, once this period passes, there will inevitably be a large number of idlers.

The imperial court does not raise people for nothing. The imperial court does not support the useless and idlers. It must maintain a certain number of people. The standard is that when the imperial court needs to operate at full capacity, the officials will not be too busy to die, and they will not be idle.

Now the number of officials is above this standard, and it is maintained very well.

In Xiao Ruxun's view, everyone should have something to do. Once something is done, there will be no desire to fight for power and profit. Once something is done, no one will be intriguing.

Even the servants and maids were busy moving things around to make up for vacancies and clean the inner court. The collusion between inside and outside was gone, and the whole palace was clean.

So whenever Caiyun and Xiao Ruxun talked about increasing the number of servants and maids in the palace, Xiao Ruxun had the final say and shook his head and refused.

"You have to keep them busy, you have to make them tired, you have to make them not have the mind to think about this and that, so they can't be too busy and can't be idle. This is the best state. The current number of people is just right, no more, no less."

Xiao Ruxun was quite proud of this.

Caiyun understood what Xiao Ruxun meant, so she didn't talk about it again.

The central government of Daqin has expanded more than ten times compared to the previous Ming Dynasty, and it is still expanding. Not only there are central government officials in the capital, but also many central government officials in the local area. They are connected from the inside to the outside to handle affairs. very convenient.

Even so, Xiao Ruxun could feel the urgency and hard work of these courtiers when dealing with government affairs every day.

But Xiao Ruxun didn't intend to reduce their burden.

Of course, apart from Xiao Ruxun as the main character in this birthday celebration, the Xiao royal family is also an important supporting role, the prince Xiao Zhenbang and the second prince Xiao Zhenwu, as well as the Supreme Emperor Xiao Wenkui and Queen Yang Caiyun.

As well as the three kings of the Xiao family, Chu Wang Xiao Rulan, Zhao Wang Xiao Ruhui, Wei Wang Xiao Ruzhi, and their descendants.

The number of the Xiao royal family is very small now, there are no more than 30 people at full count, everyone is relatively close, Xiao Ruxun also has time to meet them in person, and then teach them what to do, what arrangements are there on their birthdays and so on.

Anyway, according to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, everyone in the royal family is an absolutely important role, and they must congratulate the emperor and present congratulatory gifts before the officials.

Originally, Xiao Ruxun didn't intend to let the courtiers give gifts, but the courtiers didn't know what to do in this way, so after thinking about it again and again, under the request of the courtiers, Xiao Ruxun still agreed to their request to give gifts.

But Xiao Ruxun also had other requirements, that is, the value of the gift from his own courtiers should not exceed ten taels of silver, otherwise he would not accept it, so the content of the gift was also greatly restricted.

So the royal family decided to let the children show their talents and skills to the emperor, such as calligraphy, painting, and martial arts.

The Royal Academy is specially prepared by Xiao Ruxun for the children of the royal family. All of them are very good teachers, and whoever the children of the royal family can inherit the title of prince depends on their grades. Only the best few can inherit the title. Although the competition is still Not obvious, but the future competition must be very fierce.

More importantly, who will inherit the title of prince, the power is controlled by the emperor, not the three kings.

Xiao Rulan, Xiao Ruhui, and Xiao Ruzhi a hundred years later, either Xiao Ruxun or Xiao Zhenbang has the final say on who will inherit their titles. They can make suggestions or plead, but it is Xiao Ruxun, the emperor, who makes the final decision.

This is the most direct means for Xiao Ruxun to control the royal family.

Once you have arranged your own family, outsiders can make better arrangements. Anyway, for the kings of the vassal states, the congratulatory envoys, and the like, Xiao Ruxun has no limit on the amount of gifts they can give. They can give them whatever they like. The more the merrier.

For those who are stingy and those who are generous, Xiao Ruxun will arrange different housing conditions and standards for them, and tell them openly and secretly——

The gift is good, I am very satisfied.

The gift was not given well, I was stingy, and I was angry.

In this way, some people with active minds will know that the Emperor Qin's requirements for the vassal state are very unusual.
