Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh: very busy
After entering Chang'an, resettled everyone, and after three days of rest, Li Ze really started to get busy. In fact, during the three days of rest, he was not idle. He took Chen Changping and Li Mi to travel in a very small way. Not only did he visit the East and West Markets, but he also basically looked at all the markets of Chang'an. He also had a clear idea of the current situation in Chang'an.
Three days later, Li Ze was so busy that he was busy. The emperor was not in a hurry to meet him. Before everything was busy, the emperor probably wouldn't have seen him.
Li Ze’s main job is to visit ministers or be treated to by others. This time he came to Chang'an, not only to send hostages, but also wanted to get a lot of things.
For example, the large number of craftsmen he wanted was still the largest city in the world at this time, and a large number of skilled craftsmen were concentrated here. If Li Ze wanted to get them away, he had to ask the court to agree.
For example, the students of the Imperial College he wanted. Although these people were not welcomed in normal times, if Li Ze wanted them, they would become popular. Those court officials with erect orifices would definitely take this opportunity to talk to him. In fact, they may not be able to look at these people, but if Li Ze wanted them, they would have the opportunity to find some capital to come back. After all, the court has spent a lot of money to raise these people over the years.
For example, Li Ze wanted the Modao hand equipment in the imperial arsenal, etc.
If you want to get these things, Li Ze would go to see the big bosses in power one by one. Of course, seeing these big bosses is not enough. The King of Hell is easy to meet, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. Some guys with low status here, but the key positions also have to open up the joints one by one. Of course, there is no need for Li Ze to come forward for such a thing, so naturally Chen Changping will take people to do it.
Chen Changping has been living in the world for many years and has long developed the ability to talk to others and talk to others when he sees others. He asked him to win over relationships and bribe officials. He did it as natural as flowing.
As for those who come to visit, they naturally want to find connections.
Anyone can see that Li Ze is now a hot figure.
Once Chengde, Henghai and Zhenwu are united, they will definitely become the largest town in the north. If they can establish a relationship and get in touch with people at this time, they may be another bright road in the future. Now being an official in a town is more glorious than being an official in Chang'an. Even those who do not want to leave the prosperous place of Chang'an, Li Ze and General Qianniu Guard will soon open a mansion and build a teeth. A new yamen is opened, and various official configurations are naturally indispensable. Those key positions will naturally fall into Li Ze's confidant's hands, but there are many other positions that can be stuffed into many people.
Therefore, in the following days, Li Ze was either busy giving gifts or visiting officials, or receiving gifts and meeting batches of various officials.
The affairs of General Qianniu Guard were basically handled by Gongsun Changming.
I have to say that things took a long time to do well, but this time it was indeed a special thing. In just ten days, all the joints were opened, and the emperor's imperial edict arrived smoothly this time. You should know that in the past, in order to demonstrate his power, and of course, it was also to remind the emperor not to act rashly. Many emperors' imperial edicts were often beaten back and finally completed.
And this time, from the Zhongshu Ling, the Zhongshu Shilang, and the Zhongshu Shishen to the Shizhong, the staff members, the green lights were all the way.
From this point of view, the court was indeed more anxious than Li Ze himself.
The General Qianniu Guard's Mansion was officially opened.
Of course, Li Ze was led by the general. Gongsun Changming led the left general, while Tu Hu led the right general. Speaking of which, the court did not even know who Tu Hu was, but this did not prevent Tu Hu from becoming this official. Anyway, they only needed to know that Tu Hu was Li Ze's person. Because Li Ze was about to leave soon, the Qianniu Guard General's Mansion was just a false title, which was nothing more than the court allocating another sum of money to raise a group of people. If Tu Hu was not here, they could also give less general salary. You should know that the left and right generals are from third-rank and real high-ranking officials.
Chen Bing and Chu Sheng became generals of the fourth rank. They were originally just guards of Li Anguo, the governor of Chengde Jie, and were from Chengde Langqi. They had a very high status. They were just ordinary guards, but because they followed the right master, they had become successful this time. Although they had been following Li Ze in Wuyi Village for more than ten years, now all their efforts are rewarded.
Those who gloat about their unluckyness and even stepped on them, I'm afraid they never thought that when they were still low-level officers, they had to retire due to their age and injuries, the unlucky man of the past was now in the spring breeze and horse hooves.
There were twelve people in Qianniu, with one hundred and fifty men in charge, one chief officer, one chief officer, one military officer, one military officer, and one military officer, one military officer, and one military officer, Li Ze was too lazy to care. This time, the guards who followed him stayed, and he would definitely occupy some positions. The others would be selected by Gongsun Changming. Anyway, in these days, those who came here to ask for help from the back door had already been packed in, so Gongsun Changming would choose by himself.
After all, after leaving Chang'an this time, it would not be the situation before me. Many things would definitely happen in this, and then the person in charge was Gongsun Changming himself.
He uses the person he chooses.
Li Ze was busy, Gongsun Changming was busy, and Li Ze's subordinates were also busy. At this time, Li Ze's expectant father-in-law, Mr. Liu Panliu, was also busy. He abandoned his position as a county magistrate in Shiyi and brought his family to Chang'an, just to get rid of the chores of the county magistrate and seek a noble position to support him in Chang'an.
Now he finally got what he wanted.
Now he was personally given the title of Secretary by the emperor, and he also received the title of a regular official in Chengyilang. It is indeed a noble and idle position. In this position, he is in charge of books and classics. If he doesn't want to do things, he really has nothing to do, but if he wants to do things, he still has endless things to do. However, with Mr. Liu's virtue, it is estimated that he will become the former.
Secretary Lang is a civil servant of the sixth rank. Compared with the previous seventh rank county magistrate, Mr. Liu has been promoted to three levels this time.
Of course, as Li Ze's qualifying father-in-law, the emperor's grace must be more than this. If Mr. Taishan lives in his son-in-law's house for a long time, it is naturally unreasonable. Although Mr. Liu is not in Chang's place, he cannot afford to have a family title, but there are graces on both sides, so the emperor naturally goes with the flow and gives him a house as a residence for Mr. Liu.
During this period, Mr. Liu happily arranged a new house and prepared to marry a daughter. Of course, he was very busy. Liu Ruyan's main dowry was naturally prepared since she was a child, but there were always many things to be found. However, in a prosperous place like Chang'an, what can't be bought?
So Mr. Liu and his wife were very busy, and even the servants and generals who followed Liu were too busy.
Of course, they are always busy with smiles.
If there is nothing really wrong, it is probably Liu Ruyan who is about to marry. The only thing she can do now is to take out the wedding dress she had already embroidered from the bottom of the cabin, examine it carefully, and then look forward to the day of marriage in the embroidery building.
"Thank you for your hard work sir." Li Ze said a little apologetically at Gongsun Changming with a tired face.
"It's not hard, I'm a little excited. Now I feel like I'm back when I first arrived at Lu Long, full of desire for battle." Gongsun Changming smashed the green tea that Li Ze made for him with his own hands, experiencing the bitter and sweet taste, and smiled: "I used to be drowsy when I drank tea, but now after drinking the tea made by Jieshuai, I'm getting more and more energetic."
"Tea itself has the effect of refreshing the spirit!" Li Ze smiled and said, "Sir, I've selected people these days, everything is ready, right?"
"Of course, there are really some available people on the list that Jishuai gave me. I have hired any of them with some skills. These people are all local snakes in Chang'an, most of them are noble children. These people's families are a strong force. Jishuai, when it comes to this day, the power they have in these families can also be used."
"If something really happens, how many people can we use on the surface? Do you have an estimate?" Li Ze asked seriously.
"With the grace of the emperor, the General Qianniu Guard's mansion can have a thousand personal soldiers. It is more than we expected." Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "But in fact, we can expand to about three thousand people based on this thousand people."
"What's the name?"
"Of course it's an auxiliary soldier. It's not an exaggeration for me to have two auxiliary soldiers, right?" Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "Anyway, the court only provides the salary of one thousand soldiers. The remaining two thousand people can be raised by ourselves."
"The salary is naturally not a problem." Li Ze said happily: "If there are as many as 3,000 troops that can be used, then considering the other forces at that time, as long as you prepare well and carefully, break out, it will be no big problem."
"The Qianniu Guards' soldiers in Chang'an can still be rotated with the soldiers in Chengde, the Qianniu Guards were originally one of the emperor's personal guards. They are also legitimate to fight against rebellion for the country." Gongsun Changming said quietly.
