Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 751 Extra Story ([-]) Yes, Prime Minister

After the lunch meeting of the prime ministers, Han Yu finally came to the administrative department under his leadership under the leadership of the secretary of the Zhengshitang.

Ten years ago, during the reform of the imperial court, several ministries were separated from the six ministries. These ministries were all directly under the Zhengshi Tang, and a prime minister was in charge.

The function of the Administration Department is to coordinate the work of various ministries. It sounds like a lot of power, but in fact it is a department with no sense of existence.

Wang Shuwen, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Administration, became an official through the door, and moved to Southeast Asia for another ten years. Because of his excellent work in Tianzhu, he helped the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the rule in Tianzhu, so he was transferred back to Chang'an and took up the post of the Ministry of Administration. Permanent Secretary.

The position of secretary was originally a temporary position to assist officials.

However, with the expansion of the empire, the problems faced by the Tang Dynasty became more and more professional. Many ministers did not have such professional experience, so the temple supervisors of all ministries began to set up the post of secretary to be in charge of Zan officials for consultation.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty are always very busy, especially the court officials often go out of the town. In some departments with strong professionalism, the officials are often transferred to other places before they are hot and familiar with the work.

The turnover of officials is frequent, but the secretaries are permanent. This also allows the secretaries to start to control their powers. Some secretaries even take over the chief officer and secretly influence a department.

Wang Shuwen is such a secretary. Since he became the secretary of the Ministry of Administration, he has served five ministers. Among them, four prime ministers are also important members of the minister of administration, but they are said to be extremely senior.

The Administration Department is different from other departments. This department itself is a department that coordinates other departments, so the number of chief officers is very small, and most of them are secretaries and assistant secretaries.

Because it was a department that had just become independent ten years ago, the yamen of the administrative department was quite new. Wang Shuwen led a group of secretaries from the administrative department to stand at the gate of the yamen to welcome Han Yu's arrival.

Compared with the uneasiness of his subordinates, Wang Shuwen's expression was very calm. He waited for Han Yu to arrive at the entrance of the administrative department in the prime minister's ox cart, and immediately led his subordinates to greet him in a mighty manner.

Wang Shuwen crossed his hands and said to Han Yu, "Han Xiangguo, the Administration Department finally expects you to come!"

Seeing Wang Shuwen's exaggerated welcome team, Han Yu was originally a little displeased.

He received the task of laying off redundant staff from the prime minister, and seeing the mighty team of the administrative department, he felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Before coming to the administrative department, Han Yu obtained Wang Shuwen's resume through the official department. After studying this guy's promotion path, Han Yu quickly determined that this guy was not easy to deal with.

When Datang and Heiyi Dashi competed for Tianzhu, the princes and nobles of the ancient kingdoms in Tianzhu were at both ends. Datang occupied the coastal areas, but could not advance inland.

After Wang Shuwen arrived in Tianzhu, he began to promote officials from the lower castes, and instigated conflicts among the various countries in Tianzhu, quickly disintegrating the alliance among the natives of Tianzhu.

By the time Wang Shuwen left Tianzhu, Datang had completely controlled the coastal areas, and Wang Shuwen's policy had achieved great success.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Shuwen was hired as an official and failed to pass the system examination several times, he would definitely not be just a permanent secretary.

After everyone entered the administrative department and welcomed Han Yu to the courtroom where the minister works, Wang Shuwen immediately said:

"Xiangguo! You are finally here! This is the plan for eliminating redundant staff submitted by our administration department, and we are waiting for you to come!"

Redundancy?

Han Yu accepted Wang Shuwen's plan in doubt, but he didn't expect that the administration department would start preparing to abolish redundant staff before he even asked?

Could it be his own reputation that made the officials of the Administration Department tremble and proposed to abolish them on their own initiative?
Han Yu had just been conferred the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and he was just at the time when he was proud, and this report made him even more light-hearted.

"Don't worry, everyone. The imperial court wants to abolish redundant staff this time, and it is also for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. The abolished court will also contact chambers of commerce, workshops, and other institutions to arrange certain positions."

Han Yu also made a step back. These secretaries had also served Datang for many years. It seemed that the imperial court was too ruthless to abolish them directly.

Han Yu didn't open the plan, but said: "Secretary Wang, please tell me about the plan."

Wang Shuwen talked eloquently and said: "Abolishing redundant staff is a major event for the imperial court! You must be careful!"

Han Yu nodded slightly. This was similar to what the prime minister had told him, and it was all to set the tone.

Wang Shuwen continued:
"If such a major matter is entrusted to our administration department to take the lead, then of course we must come up with a plan that convinces the various departments."

Han Yu continued to nod.

Wang Shuwen said: "I suggest first setting up a secretariat to abolish redundant staff, and be responsible for the overall planning of the abolition."

Han Yu's face was a little ugly. Before layoffs started, a new department should be established first?

Wang Shuwen continued: "The plan of the Administration Department is to take one year as the goal, first count the workload of each department, and then determine the number of secretaries needed by each department, and abolish the redundant secretaries."

"One year?"

Han Yu was almost on the verge of rioting!One year!It's hard to say whether I can be the prime minister for a year, but this Wang Shuwen actually opened his mouth for a year!
Han Yu said with an ugly face: "No! One year is too long, and the Zhengshitang has issued an order, and the abolition work must be completed as soon as possible!"

Wang Shuwen's face did not change, he continued: "In fact, it is very easy to complete the goal of the Zhengshitang."

Han Yu asked suspiciously, "What's your strategy?"

I only heard Wang Shuwen say: "The secretaries of the various ministries and monasteries are redundant, but there is still a shortage of secretaries in the Daoist Mansions of the Tang Dynasty and the Xuanwei Envoy Division. The departments that allocate the secretaries of various departments to these places are not That's it."

Although Han Yu felt that this plan was a bit of playing with numbers, it could be regarded as reducing the problem of redundant officials in Chang'an.

He said noncommittally: "Will all the ministries and monasteries be willing? Are the secretaries who have been sent to local institutions willing?"

Wang Shuwen said with a smile: "Of course! Serving for the empire is the unanimous pursuit of everyone! How can you complain about your position!"

Hearing that his subordinates were so enlightened, Han Yu felt much happier, and he said directly: "It would be great if you mentioned this plan earlier! Secretary Wang is really a pillar of the empire! When can we start? "

Wang Shuwen immediately said: "Today, let's lead by example from our administrative department!"

"Okay! After the matter is completed, Han will ask His Majesty for credit for Secretary Wang!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Han Yu returned to his mansion contentedly. After finishing his work in the Zhengshitang the next morning, Han Yu hurried to the Administration Department in the afternoon.

Looking at the more lively scene in the Administration Department than yesterday, and seeing more officials than yesterday, Han Yu was stunned.

He quickly summoned Wang Shuwenxun and asked: "Didn't the abolition of redundant staff start from the administrative department? Why are there more people in the administrative department today?"

Wang Shuwen said aggrievedly: "The abolition of redundant staff is of great importance, and the administrative department is short of manpower. After the Prime Minister signed the order yesterday, our administrative department has adjusted [-] secretaries to other places."

"Then why are there so many people?"

Wang Shuwen smiled slightly and said: "However, there have been many things recently. They came from the local area to work together. Xiangguo can rest assured that after a year or so, they will naturally be allowed to go back."
