The Best Fake Eunuch

Chen Wenqi was very happy this time, and his attitude was not bad. He asked Xiao Chen, do you want to ship by sea?

Just a few million taels are in Haining Bay, and I will ship them to you directly from there when the time comes. You send someone to set up a receiving department to calculate the points together, and you have to ask the garrison to help protect it... There is no use in worrying. .

It's all true.

Of course Xiao Chen wouldn't ask for all cash, it wasn't troublesome enough.

Tell Chen Wenqi that I just want to buy a batch of goods to go back, so you can first issue me a 5.8 million account introduction or a bank note.

A denomination of 100,000 taels is the best, but it must be cashed immediately, otherwise don't blame me for coming to you for a lawsuit!

I don't want to come here even once, as far as your household department is a crappy place.

Chen Wenqi bowed to him again and again, oh, thank you so much!

It's better if you don't come here for the rest of your life!

He took the silver and went straight to Duanmu Nanfeng's residence, and gave him two million banknotes, part of which was old accounts and part of the order money.

Duanmu Nanfeng was a little embarrassed.

Why are you still serious, Prince? Now Yanyun County is yours. I should spend as much money on Yanyun County as I should. I am assisting you, have you forgotten?

My family's family business is also yours, the prince. You have calculated it so clearly for me now, but do you treat me as an outsider?

Xiao Chen said that one yard is worth one yard. I will not be polite to you when I need your help, but I will not be vague when it is time for you to earn money.

Otherwise, who the hell would dare to do business with me in the future?

This is tantamount to helping me establish a good reputation, and all business will be easy to do in the future.

You should be mentally prepared, when Shunfeng Harbor is recovered, our business will be more than ten times larger than it is now, let me tell you.

Duanmu Nanfeng was happy to see what he said, but he became worried again.

Prince, do you still remember that we are going to do big things? It's not business.

Xiao Chen said that he can do such a big thing without money?

Don't you Nanfeng understand such a simple truth!

Duanmu Nanfeng said, of course I understand, but I feel that your crown prince's enthusiasm for doing business is far higher than your enthusiasm for being an emperor.

How about my sister?

Don't even mention it, your sister was snatched away!

Who snatched it?

That bad girl Xiaoxiangyu!

"Oh, Xiaoxiangyu is not bad, right? She is my sister's master, don't you know, my lord?" Duanmu Nanfeng was quite indifferent when he heard about it.

Xiao Chen said I know what a fart?

If I knew it, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to pick up Nan Qiao, and I wouldn't go to Yihong Courtyard for consumption!

By the way, Nanfeng, if you are treating guests in Fengyang City, please don't go to Yihong Courtyard, it's dark there, let me tell you.

Duanmu Nanfeng said this, please rest assured, the prince, the younger brother will never go to that kind of place anyway, you know the younger brother's temper, you can smell the stench of women from far away!

People went to the Xiang Mansion...

Xiao Chen then went to the Ministry of Officials, but it happened that Wang Anbang was not there, so it didn't matter, anyway, I came to do business, so I found someone in charge!

The one who came out was Xu Haiming, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials. He had just been promoted, so he was enjoying himself in the spring breeze, and he was quite eager to burn three fires when he took office.

And he was also the second place in the imperial examination, the second place hand-picked by the emperor, a proper Jinshi Dingjia, and a student of the emperor.

He didn't pay much attention to Xiao Chen, he quarreled with Xiao Chen yesterday at the court meeting in front of the emperor, and felt that he had the upper hand, now seeing Xiao Chen, he couldn't help being airy.

Ask Mr. Xiao what you are doing here? Xiao Chen slapped the list he brought on the table, what else can he do with your officials? If you want an official, I'm in a hurry, so give me the appointment document quickly, and I'll take it with me when I go back.

"Lord Xiao, are you too hasty? Besides, it was all agreed yesterday. The appointment of officials at all levels in Yanyun County still needs to be selected by our official department after the merit test. Your list is up to you." Stay here, and it won't be too late to talk after we discuss and study." Xu Haiming said that everything must be done in a businesslike manner.

"Master Xu, don't be in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. The eyes of my subordinates looking forward to such an official document from your official department will ooze blood! Without this official appointment, they will be absent-minded in doing things... How about it, Give me the appointment documents of Liu Congshu, Wen Chengxu, and the dozens of county magistrates first, and then discuss the rest."

Xiao Chen is actually doing business, he is really in a hurry.

The people on this list are all selected by Chen Jisheng, Ye Baiqing, and Liu Congshu. They are all shrewd and capable first-class talents. These people will be the mainstay of Yanyun County in the future!

But almost all of them are not the chief officials of the prefectures and counties, some are general judges, some are experienced, some are county magistrates, some are canon historians, some are master books, some are inspectors, and some are just house masters, staff secretaries...

Among them, only more than half of them are Jinshi, and there are a few Juren, and the rest are all scholars!

Xiao Chen didn't lie about it, he gave their qualifications very detailed. He mainly looked at each person's ability to do things, but he didn't care about their background qualifications at all.

This is called eclectic use of talents.

In fact, it is a disadvantage for Jinshi to be an official in all dynasties. Just because you read well does not mean that you have a strong ability to handle affairs.

These are two different things at all.

Scholars also have talents, such as Chen Jisheng, Ye Baiqing, Wang Anbang, Chen Wenqi...

But most are mediocre.

The previous Jinshi had to pass the "Shi Brown Test" of the Ministry of Officials before becoming an official. The Shi Brown Test was to examine the Jin Shi's appearance, speech, calligraphy and ability to judge cases. Shangguanfu formally served in various ministries and places.

For example, Han Yu, a master in the Tang Dynasty, passed the Jinshi examination, but failed the "Shi Brown Examination" of the Ministry of Officials for three consecutive years. It was not until the fourth time that he took the exam that he passed the election and officially became an official.

But now the "Shi Brown Examination" of the Ministry of Officials has been cancelled, and replaced by the so-called "Anthology" and "Examination of Merit".

Of course, this is also caused by the current environment of the Great Zhou, because the Great Zhou has just been established for a few years, and there is an extreme shortage of officials everywhere, so there are more defects in the employment system.

For example, a guy with a Jinshi degree has turned into a county magistrate directly, and he is going to act as an agent for a county's affairs, so what the hell does he know?

You have to rely on the help of your subordinates. For example, almost every official now has several aides, Xibin, and master scribes. In most cases, they are actually the real managers and even decision makers!

The chief official is just a puppet, if he is lucky enough to get an upright and capable clerk like Wen Chengxu, it's okay, but if he meets a few bad-hearted ones, then the result can be imagined.

In short, the disadvantages here are hard to describe.

Xiao Chen, Chen Jisheng and the others hated this very much, so they carried out drastic reforms of the official system in Yanyun County, and decided to carry it out firmly to the end.
