Chapter 253: One Emperor, One Courtier 3
As for whether the Donglin Party members will take the opportunity to grow stronger again and then become their enemies.Hong Tao believes that if one seizes power simply for the sake of power, then all opponents should be eliminated, and he alone has the final say whether it is right or wrong.

If you want to do something, you must have some opponents.They will carefully analyze the policy from different angles and tirelessly look for loopholes. While attacking, they are also helping to correct errors for free.

Selfishness and greed in human nature cannot be completely eliminated actively. If you want to suppress them to a minimum, you must rely on external pressure.Time-travelers are also human beings. Except that their brains contain information from across the ages and have relatively rich experiences, they are essentially the same as ordinary people. They also need checks and balances to make fewer mistakes.

Although Gao Panlong differed from him in political opinions and was more ideologically inclined to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, he did not participate in the rebellion of Gu Xiancheng and Shen Li. He seemed to have raised objections, thinking that the name of this move was unfair. If anyone could Use despicable means to achieve your goals, and any ideas are not worth following.

Letting such an official who is strict with himself and others, and who also has lofty ideals and pursuits as the minister of Dali Temple seems to be much better in terms of doing things than just finding a random yes-man. At least he can maintain the seriousness of the law. sex.

Apart from the additions to the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, there are no changes in the selection of cabinet candidates this time.After several years of running in, Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe have been able to partially cooperate with their own work.Li Dai and Weng Zhengchun have no factions and can provide good assistance at work.Four bachelors are enough, there is no need to add more people for the time being.

But as a reward for not participating in the rebellion, the title needs to be changed.Ye Xianggao officially became the chief minister of the cabinet, entered the Zhongji Palace as a bachelor, and became the crown prince Shaobao.From now on, as the chief minister of the cabinet, with the title of second-rank official, he will no longer have to look down upon others when facing the six ministries and nine ministers.

Fang Congzhe entered the Wenhua Palace as a bachelor, Li Dai entered the Wuying Palace as a bachelor, and Weng Zhengchun entered the Wenyuan Pavilion as a bachelor. Although they were all of the fifth rank, there was a big difference in appearance between those with honorary titles and those without.

"Don't be uneasy because of Li Tingji and Guo Zhengyu. I have always made a distinction between public and private affairs. They are them and you are you. As my right-hand man, you have made great contributions in the cabinet over the years. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future!"

In fact, Ye Xianggao should be one of the many officials involved in the rebellion.He is the same age as Li Tingji and Guo Zhengyu, and he and Li Tingji are fellow Fujianese. They have always had a good personal relationship.

The two friends suddenly became rebels. He, a bachelor of the cabinet, immediately became uneasy in the face of several impeachments. He hurriedly submitted his resignation, fearing that one day Jin Yiwei or Dongchang fanzi would suddenly burst in and say that he didn't know anything. Who can believe it?

Giving him a title is not only a compliment but also a comfort. It also sends a clear signal to other officials: there is no suspicion between the chief minister of the cabinet and the emperor, and they still cooperate with each other tacitly. Anyone who wants to sow discord will have to wait for another opportunity.

After securing these top positions, Hong Tao began to target the middle-level positions in each department.Promote some young cadres who are willing to change and let them familiarize themselves with important positions for a few years. On the one hand, they can test their abilities and on the other hand, they can also be regarded as a reserve talent pool.

The first is the Ministry of Personnel. As a bachelor and also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Dai has a heavy burden. Especially in the future, personnel changes in the court may be very frequent, and he will be under a lot of pressure alone.

The timely injection of fresh blood can not only revitalize the lifeless officialdom, but also take the opportunity to observe and train a group of positive young officials to prepare for seamless connections in the future.

The emperor appointed two people, Yang Lian for Li Ke and Gu Dazhang for Li Ke.Yang Lian was promoted to Yuan Wailang, the Department of Literary Selection of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, from the fifth rank; Gu Dazhang was promoted to Yuan Wailang, the Department of Merit Examination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, from the fifth rank.

These two Jinshi, who had been Jinshi for three years in Jingyang, had been in the DPRK for more than two years. Although they had had contact and cooperation with the Donglin Party members for a period of time, as the general environment changed, the differences between the two sides became more and more serious.It gradually became a new group within the Donglin faction, advocating support for the emperor's reforms and no longer taking the fight between factions as the main theme.The vast majority of officials in their group were not involved in this palace coup, and they made limited criticism of the actions of Shen Li and others afterwards, and their words and deeds were basically consistent.

Hong Tao's attitude towards dissidents has always been clear. As long as the general direction is basically the same and current rules can be abided by, they are allowed to exist and can cooperate.

Next is the Ministry of Household Affairs. The current Secretary of the Ministry of Households, Zhao Shiqing, is conscientious and conscientious, and is a good material for managing money.But he is too rigid and not good at keeping pace with the times.

When factories in various places become large-scale, foreign exports increase significantly, and after the maritime ban is reopened, commercial taxes increase rapidly. The current fiscal and taxation system will inevitably be improved accordingly. It is obviously unreliable to expect him to take charge of it alone, and we must prepare for a rainy day.

If you want to be a good household official, you must first have a mathematical foundation, and it is best to quickly learn some statistical knowledge.There are not many officials who possess the former, but not many who possess the latter at the same time.

At this time, Xu Guangqi came to help. He knew a man named Li Tianjing from Wuqiao, Zhili, who had some attainments in numerology and astronomy and calendar.The most important thing is that I am young, only 30 years old, have time, energy and interest in learning new knowledge.

The only troublesome thing is that this person only has the status of a civil servant. According to the court practice, it is not suitable to be entrusted with important tasks at first.

"Mr. Zhuo Wu is also a civil servant, and the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi can also do well, no less than those Jinshi. There is no harm in civil servants. Let Li Tianjing go to the Ministry of Finance first to be...Wang An, the Ministry of Finance may meet with me often position?"

In Hong Tao's opinion, ancient Juren were more knowledgeable than later master's degrees, and it was more difficult to obtain them. In terms of ability, it was enough to be a middle-level cadre.The difficulty of becoming a Jinshi is a bit like that of an academician of the Academy of Sciences. Starting from the grassroots level is a bit overflowing and wasteful.

However, some rules cannot be changed by simply changing them. They require a long time and energy to be subtly implemented. If you want to achieve your goal quickly, you can only find some loopholes and deal with it.

"Uh... I think of a position that is similar to what Long Live Lord requires, but it has not been created for many years. If I propose it rashly, I am afraid that I will be criticized by the courtiers again."

Wang An is worthy of being the inner steward of the Forbidden City. His mind is full of all kinds of rules, etiquette, people and things. After a little thinking, he will get something. He just hesitates when he speaks, for fear of bringing unnecessary trouble to the emperor. trouble.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"In the Sejong Dynasty, there was a minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs who was in charge of Xiyuan Jamsil and Royal Fields. During the Mujong Dynasty, the Jamsil and Royal Fields were abandoned, and this position was no longer permanent."
