Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 494: Establishment of Foreign Diplomatic Department

Chapter 494: Preparing for the Establishment of the Foreign Diplomatic Department
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was just short-tempered and couldn't stand seeing Master Hu being idle.

This is just like some people who feel they are at a loss if they don't pick up the money.

The main theme is a psychological imbalance.

Of course, if it is an ordinary person, then it is unbalanced.

Apart from muttering a few words in my heart, I'm afraid that's all.

But Zhu Yuanzhang doesn’t!
As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
He felt uncomfortable, so he asked the person who picked up the money to put it back to its original place so that he could pick up the money and have a good time.

Even if he felt unsatisfied, the person who picked up the money just now might have to bring some money from home to "return" it to the ground.

Otherwise, Lao Zhu would still feel unbalanced.

As for the lucky person who picked up the money, he must feel comfortable or not.

What does it have to do with him, Old Zhu!

This is Zhu Yuanzhang!
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Master Hu finally nodded and agreed to take up an official position, he was completely happy.

As for setting up a government office directly under him, that doesn't matter.

Anyway, even if this yamen is assigned to one of the six ministries and three temples, could any of the ministries really dare to suppress Master Hu from doing his job?

If there are any problems at that time, I am afraid that Master Hu will still skip the ministry and come directly to the palace.

Instead of this, it would be better to let this government office be independent.

"Well, what Weiyong said does make sense!"

"Then I wonder how many people you want for this new office in charge of foreign affairs?"

Zhu Yuanzhang still knew how to advance and retreat.

Since Mr. Hu has already agreed to work as an official, he naturally should not continue to be aggressive.

After all, that's the relationship between a ruler and his subjects.

Especially for important officials like Mr. Hu, they have long passed the era of being submissive before the emperor.

Some things can be negotiated as long as they do not involve core interests.

Just like what is happening right now.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s fundamental request was that Mr. Hu could not continue to stay idle at home, and he had to come out and work hard for our Zhu family.

As long as this core demand is met, the remaining details don’t really matter.

how?

Could the head of a government office be more powerful than when Master Hu was the prime minister?

Mr. Hu’s resume is truly too dazzling.

To the extent that, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, as long as Master Hu could come out of retirement, the others didn't matter, because they were all working for his Zhu family anyway.

But he didn't care, but Master Hu had his own ideas.

"Well, Your Majesty, let's draw the personnel to set up the government office from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple!"

"Most of the time, just look for young and capable people!"

"You don't need to have a high grade. It's hard work once you come here anyway."

"Just bring in a few more mature and prudent people to prevent these guys from causing trouble for the court, that'll be enough!"

Um.
After hearing what Master Hu said, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"Your request is not excessive!"

"Most of them need to work hard and be easy to lead, then there will be a few experienced and steady ones to take the lead, and at the top, you, the doctor, will take the lead."

"In this way, you don't have to worry about your new government office not being able to continue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not only commenting on Mr. Hu's actions, but also pondering the deeper meaning of Mr. Hu's behavior.

However, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Mr. Hu's arrangement makes sense.

The so-called "mature and steady" people are actually the backbone of each department.

They are all core personnel whose age, qualifications and means have reached a certain level.

These people are the core that support a large business in each government office.

Who doesn't want such a person?
Therefore, Mr. Hu was very cautious and only asked for a few.

But these few people can support the initial stage of this new government office. After all, after these people came to the new government office, they changed from people who only did things to people who only talked.

To put it bluntly, he got promoted and became a small boss.

The people who took action turned out to be young men transferred from two yamen.

Young officials are certainly the future.

But for the six departments, it is really worthless.

There is really no work to be done.

When it comes to training, most people don't have the patience or motivation.

Young officials can only grow up slowly if they read and learn more.

Otherwise, your life will only be a runner and miscellaneous person!

When he arrived at the new yamen, although the rank remained the same, there were a few new small leaders.

Even if it is for the normal operation of the new government and their own political achievements, these small leaders will give them some advice.

In this way, with mutual restraint and mutual promotion, what else does this government office have to worry about?

After figuring out the twists and turns, Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly shocked.

This Wei Yong is indeed a man of great talent.

Look, with just a casual arrangement and just transferring some staff, the future of this government office will be very bright.

What a great talent!
It's a pity that this great man is just a lazy bastard.

Forget it. What has been achieved so far is the result of both sides making concessions. If we continue to force them, it would be somewhat disrespectful.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with smiles again.

"Well, for these matters, we will issue an order when the time comes, and you can choose the people yourself!"

"Anyway, you are the only third-rank official in this government office, and the highest rank among the others is fifth-rank!"

Once these words were spoken, the level of this new foreign diplomatic department was determined.

However, Master Hu was also stunned when he heard this.

It’s not that the grade is too low, but he feels that the grade is a bit too high.

He became a third-rank official without knowing it.

Or is he the chief official of a newly built government office on the same level as the six ministries?

Wouldn't he have to deal with a lot of things in the future?

It makes me upset just thinking about it!

No!

Mr. Hu immediately decided to bring two reliable assistants over.

If he doesn't find a few helpers, won't he be the one who gets tired when the time comes?
Thinking of this, Mr. Hu's heart moved, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for one more person from Your Majesty!"

"Oh, who has Wei Yong taken a fancy to now? Tell us about it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat curious about the talents that were valued by Mr. Hu.

He knew that although Mr. Hu seemed lazy, he was very proud at heart.

Mr. Hu doesn't look down on ordinary people.

Master Hu did not hide it and spoke frankly.

"There is a monk who is currently compiling the Hongwu Canon. His secular name is Yao Guangxiao and his Buddhist name is Daoyan!"

Upon hearing that he was just a monk who was compiling a book, Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively looked down on him.

Therefore, without asking any more questions, he just nodded and agreed.

At this point, things were completely settled.

Master Hu finally left the palace.

However, at this time, he could no longer go back home directly.

With the imperial edict in hand, he has to prepare for his foreign diplomatic department!
