Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 233 I, Zhang Cang, This Is The Price, Isn't It? (seeking subscription)

The weather is getting higher.

The courtyard became a little hot and dry.

Ji Heng took a bamboo fan and fanned himself.

Then he said lightly: "The specific things to be done in the army are actually very simple, as long as you explain things clearly, and the most important thing is to explain clearly."

"Retired!!!"

"This is also your main purpose this time."

"Retirement, as the name suggests, means that you don't need to serve in the military anymore."

"That is to leave the army completely."

"Of course, if there are some special circumstances, you may still be able to return to the army, but in most cases you will not return. You are providing them with some options after explaining the circumstances of their retirement to the sergeant officers."

"in addition."

"The officials accompanying you should also do more ideological work, let these non-commissioned officers try their best to serve as officials, or choose to return to Guanzhong to give their children a chance to go to school."

"Before you leave Xianyang."

"You need to communicate with the officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"At least you need to know how many official vacancies there are in Guanzhong and Guandong, and how many officials are needed as supplements, so as to avoid the situation that there will be no place to settle in the end. At the same time, you must also talk to the officials of the Shaofu to allocate some money and food for the construction of junior schools. , in order to honor the enrollment of these non-commissioned officers’ children.”

heard.

Fusu was thoughtful.

He secretly remembered Ji Heng's words in his heart.

What Ji Heng said was very simple.

It is also very easy to understand.

The imperial court may have other thoughts, but no matter how thoughtful they are, they cannot express it directly. Instead, they must use a suitable tone so that the imperial court, army, and non-commissioned officers can all accept it.

Only in this way can it be truly implemented without arousing strong reactions from all parties.

Retirement is the most appropriate reason.

Daqin has fought many wars in the past 20 years, and the soldiers have long been tired of it.

At present, the imperial court proposes to let the non-commissioned officers retire, which may secretly appeal to the hearts of many soldiers, and many of these people have been promoted to non-commissioned officers, so it is more appropriate to start with these people, provide them with certain official positions, or provide their children with admission qualifications, They are the easiest to accept.

The world has been fighting hard for a long time.

What's more, the imperial court also promised not to requisition in the future.

How many people here will not be moved?
Ji Heng tasted the fermented rice in the bowl, and frowned slightly, Hu Hai really wasted his stuff, adding too much ice in it, the wine was not very sweet anymore.

He took a few more sips, and then continued: "This is only to be done on the surface."

heard.

Fusu's heart trembled, and he sat upright.

Ji Heng said slowly: "The real purpose of your trip is actually to strengthen the imperial court's control over the army and eliminate some hidden dangers that may arise. Therefore, after the decree of retiring from the army is issued, it is necessary to use this to investigate the situation in the army. Learn about the past promotions of these non-commissioned officers."

"And that's actually quite logical."

"Because you are responsible for presiding over the discharge, you naturally need to know the situation of the non-commissioned officers in the army. It is only natural to ask about the situation in the army and the situation of these non-commissioned officers. You can also use this to learn more about the South China Sea army."

"in addition."

"You have to be firm."

"Retirement is decided by the imperial court. Whoever retires and who does not retire is also decided by the imperial court. No one is allowed to change or replace it, and no one is allowed to contradict it."

"This is a compulsory decree!!!"

Fusu nodded.

He understood what Ji Heng meant.

This time, the whole matter was completed by the Office of the Affairs Department, and only the South China Sea Army would be coordinated to a certain extent, but the generals in the army were not allowed to intervene in anything, and no intercession was allowed.

The decision rests solely with him.

Ji Heng continued: "When you are investigating, you should focus on investigating some possible nepotism in the army, township parties, and some so-called guards, officials who are very close to some generals, and those who have no No matter how many military exploits you have made, all the non-commissioned officers who were promoted quickly were all forced to retire from the army."

"Ning kill by mistake, don't let go!"

"to be honest."

"You are here to purify the army."

"Remove some small groups and hilltops that may exist in the army. Now because the South China Sea is about to start the third crusade against Baiyue, it is not suitable to make a big move against the generals, but it can still be done by cutting their wings."

"After you cut off all the branches of these wings, you will promote some non-commissioned officers again, and these new middle- and lower-level non-commissioned officers are actually not very familiar with the generals above. It will definitely take some time to re-train cronies."

"But in a few years, the imperial court will make changes to the generals in the army, so as to ensure that the army is always controlled by the imperial court."

"The army is bound to obey orders."

"This order has and can only be a military order from the imperial court!"

"Anyone in the army whose orders are higher than those of the imperial court must be resolutely and thoroughly eradicated."

Fusu looked solemnly.

He also realized the danger.

Ji Heng looked at Fusu, he knew very well that Fusu hadn't fully realized it yet.

Daqin's current military system is different from that of later generations.

But the rudiment of a professional army has gradually taken shape, so private soldiers are not allowed in the army. This will do great damage to the army and also greatly weaken the prestige of the court. What the Qin army wants is to look like a mess at other times , and under the command of the Great Qin Military Order, he will be transformed into the tiger and wolf division that devours the world and shocks the world.

There is no room for a second voice in the military.

Ji Heng didn't say much about it.

Now Daqin's military system hasn't reached that point yet, it's just a reminder to Fusu in advance, so that he can have a psychological construction in his heart.

He continued: "During the time you were in the South China Sea, you can also inspect the situation of some middle- and lower-level generals in the army following the officials. Although these people's official positions are not high at the moment, if they are really talented, they may be entrusted with important tasks in the future. , may not be able to become a famous minister and general of the Great Qin Dynasty in the future."

Fusu's gaze was slightly different.

He was thinking secretly in his heart.

Ji Heng's words were actually somewhat dangerous.

This is clearly for him to cultivate his own wings secretly, if his father finds out about this, he may be dissatisfied with him, Fusu can't help but feel a little uneasy and uneasy.

It's just that he also understands Ji Heng's thoughts.

Although the Office of Affairs is not a formal prince's mansion, it is the first mansion he created after all. The trip to the South China Sea is enough for him to get in touch with some officials with real talents, and these people are not in the court. Yes, normally speaking, it is unlikely to arouse the reaction of the court, and it is indeed the most suitable target for wooing.

It's just that Ji Heng said it directly.

Fusu was a little embarrassed for a while.

Fu Su said: "I will think about it. After all, these officials used to be officials in the Kanto region. They may not be familiar with the court, and even have a strong prejudice against the court. I will conduct a secret assessment to see if these people really have a different heart. These people have just been blinded by others, and perhaps they can indeed be drawn over."

heard.

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu indifferently.

He didn't want to expose Fusu's ambiguous words.

He didn't even bother to tear it apart.

Right now, Fusu's status is gradually rising, and he is paying more attention to his words and deeds. This is actually a good thing, but it will gradually make people feel alienated.

But Ji Heng didn't care.

He doesn't pay much attention to individuals, he cares more about the situation and trend of the world.

That's what interests him.

Play the world!
This is the feat of life.

aside.

Hu Hai looked at Fusu who bowed his head silently, then looked at Ji Heng who was far away in his thoughts, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You have said so much, why has nothing to do with me? I was attacked and killed in the South China Sea. How much do you want to vent your anger on my behalf?"

Fusu smiled wryly.

He said: "Brother Hai, it's not because elder brother doesn't want to, but because it's inconvenient."

"It's been more than a month since this matter happened. After such a long time, I'm afraid that the evidence has been destroyed long ago. Moreover, the more important thing for the court now is to strengthen the control of the army. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to vent your anger on this."

Hu Hai frowned, his face full of displeasure.

Jinwu Dongsheng.

The weather is getting hotter.

Fusu didn't stay with Ji Heng too long.

After asking what he was going to do, he got in the carriage and left.

He still has a lot to do.

Watching Fusu go away, Hu Hai frowned, and said in doubt: "Ji Heng, why do I feel that my elder brother has changed, I now feel that my elder brother gives me a very cold feeling, with a bit of coldness, unlike the past That's gentle."

Ji Heng said indifferently: "Everyone is subject to change."

"Sometimes you can't help yourself."

"Even if you want to stay the same, this environment and this era will push you to change. If you don't change, you are doomed to be eliminated by these eras. You are not young now, and you need to understand one thing. "

"The most ruthless imperial family."

"The higher the position, the easier it is to be heartless and desireless."

"The so-called benevolence."

"Actually, it is the greatest inhumanity in the world."

Ji Heng shook his head.

He could clearly perceive Fusu's changes.

And this is the only way for high-ranking people.

The height is not cold.

He took the beef brought by Fusu to the back kitchen, and prepared to reward himself with a good meal today, but as soon as he entered the backyard, Hu Hai followed him in.

Hu Hai seems to be very interested in Ji Heng's cooking techniques.

Ji Heng frowned.

He couldn't help helping his forehead secretly.

Hu Hai seems to have a childlike innocence, and is full of curiosity about everything, but if Hu Hai is really harmless to humans and animals, he may be deceived by Hu Hai. In fact, Hu Hai is very restless in his heart.

the other side.

After Fusu left Ji Heng's residence, he asked Wei Sheng to drive directly to Zhang Cang's office.

He wanted to tell Zhang Cang what Ji Heng said.

It's just that Fusu was a little embarrassed when he was near Zhang Cang's official office, because he seemed to have cheated Zhang Cang many times, and this time he pushed Zhang Cang out again. Even he couldn't bear it, but in the end he was still ruthless. Made up his mind, and walked in.

Hear Fusu coming.

Zhang Cang's heart thumped inexplicably, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged.

Seeing Fusu, Zhang Cang's palms were already sweating, and he said anxiously: "Minister Zhang Cang sees Your Highness, I don't know what His Highness wants you to do when you come to see me this time? I'm really a little panicked."

heard.

Fusu also laughed out loud.

He joked: "Zhang Cang, aren't you usually very calm? Why are you so nervous when you see me?"

Zhang Cang's eyes were full of grievances.

Why is he so nervous, can you still not know?

It was never a good thing for Fusu to come to him on his own initiative.

Fusu smiled, and didn't continue joking, and said with a smile: "I came here this time, I really have something important to ask you to do, and I have to let you do it, you said before, it should be a business office. "

"His Majesty has agreed to this matter."

"It's just that the Office of Affairs should choose who to enter, which has always troubled me. It's just that I seem to have some ideas recently, but there are only you and me in the Office of Affairs, so I'm going to let you write the letter for me."

Hearing Fusu's words, Zhang Cang frowned.

He said in a concentrated voice: "Which officials did His Highness choose? Can I ask you a question or two?"

Fu Su said: "Of course you should know. Except for you, they are all local officials. There are Shi Yue from Qinting, Mao Chen from Yongcheng, and Xiao He from Pei County."

Fusu uttered dozens of names in succession.

heard.

Zhang Cang's face suddenly changed.

He couldn't understand why, except himself, none of them had anything to do with the courtiers, and what Fusu said earlier was clearly asking him to present the roster, wouldn't this push him into the pit of fire?
Zhang Cang's head shook like a rattle.

He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, no, absolutely no."

"I am frightened."

Fu Su waved his hand to stop Zhang Cang's refusal, and said in a deep voice: "In my mind, only Zhang Yushi is the most suitable for this matter. Zhang Yushi is in charge of the daily accounting work, and he has a certain understanding of local officials. of."

Zhang Cang quickly denied: "Your Highness really thinks highly of me, I really don't understand these officials, and I have always neglected my duties in the past, Your Highness"

"Just let the minister go."

Zhang Cang was already in tears of grievance.

He was really scared.

Before, he only offended the officials of Yushifu, but under his various self-preservation, he barely managed to deal with it. Now he offended courtiers big and small. Isn't this killing him?
How dare he take this matter.

Fu Su said with a half-smile, "Zhang Cang, you really don't know these people?"

Zhang Cang was stunned, and said with embarrassment: "After all, I am in charge of planning, so I understand a little bit, but I just heard the name and taboo, and I don't know anything else."

"It's enough if you have understood it before." Fusu made a firm decision.

Zhang Cang's face darkened.

Fu Su pretended not to see it, and continued: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, this matter is not too offensive, and you don't have to go to the South China Sea, just stay in Xianyang and deal with the officials of the prime minister's mansion. Can."

Hearing Fusu's words, Zhang Cang's face darkened even more.

It might as well follow to the South China Sea.

immediately.

Zhang Cang seemed to have realized something, his heart tightened suddenly, he secretly raised his head to look at Fusu, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

He felt that it might not have been written by Fu Su.

It's Ji Heng!

Just thinking about the pressure he had to bear, Zhang Cang felt his scalp go numb, and he still wanted to refuse, but before he could continue speaking, Fusu directly stopped him.

Zhang Cang's face was as dark as ink.

He really wants to find a place to hide now.

I have been tricked more than once, how can this be endless?

Is Zhang Cang really so miserable?
Is this the price I paid for eating too much honey?
The price was too heavy.
