In the first year of Jingwu, the first month of the year was resting. The turbulent and turbulent court in the capital finally came a rare period of peace.
Officials took advantage of this rare New Year opportunity to visit and cling to each other, win over relationships and maintain friendship.
Of course, the most lively thing is the imperial city and the Duke of Qin’s mansion under his feet.
In the past, the threshold for the Duke of Qin was too high. Except for the well-known Duke of Qin, the rest of the people who wanted to cling to him were limited to clinging to him, and they did not even have the qualifications to enter the mansion.
Nowadays, it is natural to visit and cling to the New Year.
At this point, the situation in the court in the Ming Dynasty has changed a lot.
Once, civil officials were the only one in power, and each was divided into factions, and the party struggled endlessly.
Later, with the repeated crackdowns and purges by Chongzhen and Li Xiu, Donglin, who was once prosperous, left the market sadly, Wei Zhongxian retreated unscathed, the factions of the court became more divided, and the party struggles were still fierce.
It was not until that assassination and large-scale purge that the party struggles were completely controlled, the military power rose, and civil servants were severely hit.
When Chongzhen died, Li Xiu assisted the country in governing the country and won several great victories, creating a large number of military merits and military merit forces, which completely occupied the upper hand in the court. In addition, Li Xiu had already won over the civil officials.
In fact, when he occupied the righteousness of assisting the country and governing the country, most of the court seemed to be under his control.
And now, as time goes by, and the corruption case between the two tombs led by civil officials, the court can be said to have almost completely fallen into Li Xiu's control.
However, this kind of control is naturally impossible to be as thorough as Li Xiu's control of the army.
The army was completely cast by Li Xiu. Through battles and glory, it has become a belief in the army. Military orders are like mountains and absolute obedience is an inertia that penetrates into the depths of the bloodline.
Even though it was the local garrisons in the Ming Dynasty, thanks to the characteristics of the army, he only needed to replace the key positions with his own people, which was enough to exert influence on an army.
But the civil service system is obviously different.
Just like Wei Zhongxian was powerful in the court and the country, Li Xiu was also powerful in the court and the country.
But there are very few people who can be regarded as confidant.
Some people who were forced to surrender or simply flattered people came to the scene, but in the end they were people like Sun Chuanting, who were out of public interest and purely for the Ming Dynasty.
To be precise, such a situation cannot be described as control.
It can only be said to be an extremely loose consortium of interests.
In contrast, Li Xiu likes people like Sun Chuanting more, and is dedicated to the public. As long as Li Xiu's will does not exceed his bottom line, he will meticulously execute and even complete it.
Li Xiu had no doubt that as long as his will violate their interests, the so-called refugee and the so-called interest consortium will fall apart in an instant and even go to the opposite side.
And there is no doubt that in the future, most of the things Li Xiu has to do will go against or even harm the interests of most people.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu has always had a great tolerance for these ministers in the court who are dedicated to serving the public.
Military affairs have foundations, talents, and unparalleled prestige. He can handle them completely without the need to pass civil servants and the power of the governor of the Five Armies.
But from ancient times to the present, there are no civil servants missing, and no complete civil servant rule system missing!
Not to mention, he also wants to resurrect this decadent empire!
How could it be possible to lack a group of kind people who can contribute to it!
There were endless guests in the house, and Li Xiu greeted him with a smile.
No one knew that every official was labeled in Li Xiu's heart.
It is useful, reusable, but not enough, and even needs to be removed!
There is no doubt that there are fewer things that can be used and even fewer things that can be reused!
There are many things that are unusable, and more things to be eliminated in the future!
The best way to regain a decadent empire is to take severe medicines!
The army is the confidence and capital to use strong medicine.
But in the end, this powerful medicine still needs to be carried out by a very small number of useful people among these civil servants.
The third day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingwu.
At the Duke of Qin's mansion, as the Duke of Qin soared and the waters rose, Wang, the housekeeper Wang, was wearing exquisite silk clothes, fox fur coat, and holding a warm stove in his hand, hurried to the street with a group of servants.
This scene surprised the people on the streets. Who wouldn't know that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, let alone the steward of the Duke of Qin's mansion, the third-rank official must be polite.
On weekdays, I travel with magnificent carriages and a lot of servants, but there was no such dusty scene.
Although he lost his identity, Wang Wu did not dare to complain at all. On the third day of the first lunar month, sending invitations to the homes of various nobles was the man who personally ordered the prince. Those generals were all the confidants of the prince, so he dared not show off his show.
When can he put down his airs, show off his pomp, and when should he put down his figure? If he couldn't tell the difference between this thing, he would not know how many people jealous the position of the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, which was no longer jealous of many people, would have long been held in his hands.
Invitations were sent to Gaomen Mansion one by one. It was not until the sky got dark that Wang Wu dragged his exhausted body back to the Duke's mansion.
"Everyone go down and rest. Get up early tomorrow. The master has explained that he will have to go to the various Shangshu Mansions to deliver invitations tomorrow."
"Erlangzi, please continue to let everyone below prepare. The master will entertain those noble men tomorrow, so you must not make any mistakes..."
After explaining a few words, Wang Wu slowly walked towards the room with the help of someone.
But after walking for a few steps, a maid trotted in a hurry.
Wang Wu was about to scold the maid for not looking a little, but when he saw the maid clearly, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Miss Zero, is there anything wrong?"
"Butler Wang, Master asked you to come here immediately!"
The maid ran away a little and was a little out of breath and spoke quickly.
"I dare to ask Miss Ling'er, what happened?"
Wang Wu looked around and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, you know that Master's study will not let you enter, but Mr. Wang."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Wang Wu nodded, and did not care about the fatigue of running around for a day, so he immediately walked away quickly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Wu walked out of the study, but his expression was full of confusion.
"Carry a group of talents who are proficient in doing business in all walks of life?"
He didn't understand what the master's order meant. He did business... How could the prince who assisted the country and governed the country care about this cheap industry?
And the money house that the master had given many instructions before...
All kinds of confusions flowed in Wang Wu's mind.
But this confusion did not last long. Since the master gave the order, he naturally couldn't tolerate him. All he had to do was to complete the master's explanation as soon as possible.
Not to mention, this matter is not a difficult task for the Duke of Qin. Even the peripheral industries of the Duke of Qin are enough to easily attract a group of available business talents, and they are quite reliable.
The only thing that is difficult to do is to have it in all walks of life, and it is not a problem of one or two...
"Just take it as a group of idle people!"
Wang Wu shook his head. The Duke's Mansion is so large that there are hundreds or thousands of idle people. It's nothing.
Chapter completed!
