Daxianguan

Chapter 792
This is him too. Chang Shi and Sima of the military mansion next to him dare not open their mouths at this moment. With their official positions, they can only laugh with them and follow behind. As for other state officials, they have no chance to speak. It is a great honor for them to follow.

Chu Xian nodded at this time: "This visit to Huzhou is also an eye-opener for me. Huzhou has been full of outstanding people since ancient times. As expected, it is not only beautiful in scenery, but also has great talents."

Chu Xian's words obviously meant something. None of the people present were fools, so they could all hear that Chu Xian was praising Huzhou, and he was saying that Huzhou is a person with real talents and real learning.

What is real talent?

To put it bluntly, he was someone who could enter Master Chu Xian's eyes. At that moment, everyone looked around, and then they all looked at Bai Chuchen.

Because before they came, there was only this person who was closest to Chu Xian, and it seemed that he was explaining something to Chu Xian.

Officials in the state government are naturally anxious about the officials in the small Changshui County, not to mention that they are not county magistrates, so even the governor Wei Yanqing doesn't know who that person is, but it doesn't matter, I didn't know before It doesn't matter, as long as you know it in the future, if you can make Master Chu Xian praise it so much, then you are a pig, and you can make a fortune.

Inspector Wei Yanqing did the same, Chang Shi Zhang Xie, and Military Sima Jiang Boyi did the same. They all looked at Bai Chuchen with a look of relief, as if they were encouraging and praising.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Sanjiang, the county magistrate of Changshui, let alone the tiredness in his heart. He is the county magistrate of Changshui County, the leader here, and at this moment all the limelight has been robbed by Bai Chuchen.

Whoever it is, will be annoyed and angry.

But Zhu Sanjiang had nothing to do, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it, thinking about something in his heart.

"That's it, Governor Wei, I'll trouble you to lead the way. I also want to go to the capital of Huzhou. Huzhou can be a rich state. I also want to see what is so special about it." Chu Xian said in a timely manner, because The next step is something that must be done. You can't show too much importance to Bai Chuchen, as it is easy to use too much force.

But everything now, according to his and Bai Zijin's plan, is just a premise, it is just a prelude to streamlining officials and reforming the official system, so there is no need to worry.

After all, this is a matter that is more dangerous and difficult than land reform.

Chu Xian flew away with Wei Yanqing and others. Many officials at the scene were unable to calm down for a long time. The officials from the state capital did not all leave, but a few stayed. Then they asked Bai Chuchen very kindly about some things, such as Ask the other party's name, what is the official position.

And the officials of the city government did not leave, and the government orders and master scriptures were all there.

Among them, the government order was very angry at the moment, called Zhu Sanjiang, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Why did Shang Shuling come? You didn't notify me in advance of such a big matter, which made me so embarrassed."

Zhu Sanjiang was taken aback, and hurriedly defended, saying that it was not that I didn't tell you in advance, or that I didn't know, and that the minister came so suddenly that it was too late.

"A piece of trash!" The magistrate couldn't help but swear, one can imagine that he is usually very gentle, but now that he can be forced to swear, one can imagine how angry he is.

After all, Shang Shu ordered the Lord to come, and he, the official of the government, didn't even know about it. This was a big dereliction of duty.

What made him even more angry was that the person Shang Shuling came to praise was not Zhu Sanjiang who he had promoted, but Bai Chuchen.

Others don't know who Bai Chuchen is, so how can he, the magistrate, not know?

After all, this is a county-level official promoted by his own enemy, the Chief Secretary of the City Mansion.

Most of the time, it is very difficult for the first and second leaders of the local government to pee in the same pot.

It's the same here. Naturally, he is powerful, but the chief scribe is not small, and he is also a deadly enemy with the other party in terms of upper-level backing.

This is tantamount to the result of the mutual restraint of the upper class. This is the general environment, and they cannot violate it. Therefore, in some counties to which the city government belongs, they also promote and place their own personnel. This is not a rare thing in the officialdom. Children, on the contrary, are common.

Naturally, no one wants to see their opponent become bigger and stronger.

That's why he was so angry.

On the other hand, the chief secretary of the Chengfu has a happy face. To be honest, he really feels like a long face today. In his eyes, Bai Chuchen is a very capable subordinate, so he was promoted all the way up. Bai Chuchen made some "dangerous" remarks and ideas in his opinion, so he began to consider whether to suppress them.

When he was hesitating, who would have thought that Master Shang Shuling would come to the private tour of Weifu, and he would value and appreciate Bai Chuchen so much. Now, a fool would know what to do next.

If there is no accident, Bai Chuchen's reuse is already a certainty.

No matter how unwilling the magistrate over there was, he had to come over and chat with Bai Chuchen in a pleasant manner for a while, and there were some occasional things that had to be said.

Generally speaking, Changshui County did not lose points from Lord Shangshuling this time, which is the most important thing. Not only did he not lose points, Lord Shangshuling also praised Changshui County a lot. There is also light in the sky, which is also a good thing.

After a few days like this, the officials in Huzhou breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Lord Shang Shuling had left Huzhou for inspection in other states.

They thought it was over, but they didn't know it was just the beginning.

On the second day, Bai Chuchen submitted his plan on official restructuring and streamlining to the city government. This plan shook the entire Huzhou officialdom like a thunderbolt.

After all, the interests that this matter will touch are too great. According to what Bai Chuchen said, in Changshui County alone, more than 20 official positions will have to be cut. This is only the initial stage, and there may be more cuts in the future.

How much will the city be reduced?

What about the state capital?
No one wants to be cut down, so as soon as this plan came out, Bai Chuchen immediately became a 'target of public criticism'. If he made such a suggestion before, he would be dismissed from office and punished immediately, but the situation is not the same now. Same.

Bai Chuchen was an official whom Shang Shuling had just praised before, how could he be punished?

If so, wouldn't it be slapping Shang Shuling in the face?

Who would dare to do that.

However, Bai Chuchen's suggestion cannot be listened to. This matter is impossible to work at all, and in the eyes of many officials, the official system cannot be changed at all, and it should not be the field.

On the county side, Zhu Sanjiang didn't take it seriously; the magistrate of the city government didn't take it seriously. Only the chief secretary saw some weirdness in Bai Chuchen's proposal.

Among these people, the one who understands Bai Chuchen the most is the chief secretary of the city government who promoted him all the way up. Because of his understanding, the other party knows that Bai Chuchen is not the kind of "impulsive" and "ignorant" person. On the contrary, Bai Chuchen's political means It was the most outstanding of all he had seen.

How could such a person not know that the reform of the official system is beyond his control and control.

Now that you know it, why do you do it?
According to the master's book of the Chengfu, there is only one explanation, that is, Bai Chuchen has something to rely on, and even, the other party is just a pawn.If this is the case, who is the chess player?
The answer is about to come out.

The master writer felt a little short of breath, and took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions. If you look at it this way, it is not impossible to do such a thing, so at the moment, he is Not daring to act rashly, he could only secretly report the situation to his backer, who is also an official in the state capital.

Of course, he also knew that even his backer would not be able to play a single role under this level of game, even if he was the governor of a state, it would not be enough.

They are like a ship floating on the sea. They know that a storm is coming, but they can't do anything about it. They only hope that the storm will pass quickly, and at the same time, their ship will not capsize.

Apparently there are many officials with similar "real knowledge and insights", especially the Shang Shu Ling Chu Xian who has returned to Jingzhou after completing inspections in various places, "accidentally" heard the remonstrance of Changshui County Cheng, and immediately issued an order to directly recruit Chang Bai Chuchen, the prime minister of Shui County, entered Jingzhou and became a servant of Shangshu Lingwen.

This news was nothing in Jingzhou, but in Huzhou and Changshui County, it was like a bomb detonated, shaking the officialdom.

After Zhu Sanjiang heard about it, he didn't even realize that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

The master secretary next to him looked puzzled, and boldly asked in a low voice: "My lord, what kind of official is the Shangshu Lingwen servant? I have never heard of it."

Zhu Sanjiang glanced at the master book coldly, secretly thinking that you are a useless idiot, you are simply ignorant, but at this moment he knew it was not time to get angry, so he suppressed his anger and said: "Shoufu Pavilion-level immortal officials, Zhongshuling, Shangshuling, Da Situ, Da Sima, and the left and right senior grand masters, these few have a lot of affairs because they are in charge of internal affairs, foreign affairs and defense. Since ancient times, they have the right to form their own "House of Internal Affairs". A group of people who share their worries and make suggestions. These people are different from ordinary officials, but they are above ordinary officials. They also have official ranks. For example, Shangshulingwen servants are generally between the sixth rank and the fourth rank. .”

Hearing this, the Registrar's complexion changed wildly, and he took a deep breath: "This, this, this is too exaggerated, this is simply a promotion to the third rank, how can the court agree this time, and the officials do not agree."

Zhu Sanjiang couldn't help getting angry, and scolded: "Stupid, the ministers of the official department have to obey the orders of Lord Shangshuling. Moreover, this is an official position of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Shangshuling belongs to. Lord Shangshuling can make decisions alone, and there is no way to go through it." Court meeting."

After listening to the chief registrar, it can be regarded as an increase in knowledge, and his face is full of envy and hatred.

I guess I was thinking in my heart, why didn't I fall into such a good thing.
