It is natural for a major flood to occur now."

Zhang Heng wrote this down.

But Ding Shougong had another problem. He hesitated and said: "Your method is excellent, but there is a common saying that it is not wrong to do this, but it offends people."

Zhang Heng nodded, of course he knew that doing this would offend people, and he would offend many people, but Zhang Heng really wanted to see that he couldn't afford to offend anyone now.

Therefore, Zhang Heng smiled slightly and said: "I will take full responsibility for this matter. Even if someone excludes me for this, I will handle the matter together before leaving the Third Division. You can rest assured that I will

We will handle this matter well and won’t leave any loose ends for you.”

Ding Shougong smiled bitterly and said: "That's not what I mean. I'm just trying to worry you..."

Zhang Heng waved his hand to interrupt Ding Shougong, and then said warmly: "Thank you for your concern, but it is not necessary. Since you want to do something, you must have the determination to face criticism. If you don't have this determination, you can just go with the flow, why bother being so serious.

So, just do your thing well and do it my way. If someone comes, I will take care of it."

Zhang Heng's words were gentle but firm as a rock.

Ding Shougong felt a power from it.

This power was so hot and exciting that old officials like Ding Shougong couldn't help but feel hot in their hearts. He said loudly: "Okay, Prime Minister, then I, Old Ding, will work for you!"

Zhang Heng smiled and patted Ding Shougong's shoulder, and Ding Shougong burst into tears.

Ding Shougong is not a young man. He has worked in places like Sansi for more than ten or twenty years, and his heart has long been hardened.

Logically speaking, no matter how the eloquent Shangguan tried to bewitch him, he would always surrender on the surface, but in reality he was clear and sarcastic in his heart.

But for some reason, facing Zhang Heng, he had the urge to die for his confidant.

Ding Shougong left the Third Secretary's Hall, looked at the sky where the spring rain was about to come, and suddenly laughed.

He probably understood why he was like this.

Probably because of Zhang Heng.

Ding Shougong thought to himself.

Zhang Heng looked at Ding Shougong's back and nodded secretly. This Ding Shougong is smart and capable. He is a good talent. If there is an opportunity, he can be promoted more.

Zhang Heng quickly gathered his thoughts. After all, Ding Shougong was an old subordinate, so he was relatively confident that he could be subdued.

But then the Kong Muguan of the Salt and Iron Department and the Household Department will not be so simple. He needs to concentrate hard and show off his skills as he sees them.

The reason why we don't put any effort into Zhong Jian's people is because those people really don't have that much influence on the Third Division.

If I, as the Third Division Envoy, could hook up with Kong Muguan of the Third Division, I would basically be able to take over Zhong Jian, the Third Division's deputy envoys, and the judges.

Zhang Heng has plans for the Third Division, but these officials are useless. The smooth officials are as tough as Kong Muguan. Only by controlling these subordinates who really do things can we truly control this organization!

Zhang Heng has a long-term plan, and the Third Division is particularly important in his plan.

When he was appointed as the Third Secretary-General, his plan began.

The first step of this plan is to subdue the subordinate officials of Duzhi Division, Salt and Iron Division, and Household Division.

Once he truly subdues the Kong Muguan of these three divisions, he will be able to deeply root his influence into the flesh and blood of the three divisions.

This is something he has always implemented.

When Zhang Heng was in Kaifeng Mansion, he brought overwhelming wealth to Kaifeng Mansion. The annual profits from the coal mines and coal mines belonged to Kaifeng Mansion Office, and the chief officials of Kaifeng Mansion Office came and went like water, and only the subordinate officials

They are deeply rooted.

Therefore, it is said that it was given to the Kaifeng government office, but in fact it was given to the subordinate officials of the Kaifeng government office. The subordinate officials are always grateful.

Zhang Heng was in the Du Branch, Kong Mu officer Ding Shougong, and the subordinate staff in various cases. Even after several years, they still miss Zhang Heng.

When Zhang Heng went to Quanzhou, the subordinate officials in Quanzhou still recognized Zhang Heng as the boss.

Zhang Heng went to Guangnan East Road. Most of the subordinate officials on Guangnan East Road were sent to the prefecture and county offices by Zhang Heng himself. They all now recognize Zhang Heng as their benefactor.

Zhang Heng served as the supervisor of the household, and several front officials of the household kept writing letters.

Civil servants with Jinshi background looked down upon subordinate officials, and some even thought that it was the subordinate officials who ruined the foundation of the Song Dynasty. They believed that subordinate officials could be killed just like the servants of a car or boat shop.

However, in Zhang Heng's eyes, subordinate officials were actually the backbone of the Song Dynasty.

The emperor and scholar-bureaucrats are the brains of the country, the people are the flesh and blood of the country, and the skeleton is the humble and looked-down subordinates.

The subordinate officials in prefectures and counties go deep into the people. They are the officials in the eyes of the people, while the subordinate officials in the imperial government agencies are the directors who really do things and decide the world's major events.

And those glamorous Jinshi civil servants scolded and lectured them, seemingly very majestic, but in the hands of subordinates, the orders they gave were arbitrarily molded into things they had never imagined and carried out, becoming the country's

A true national policy!

The emperors of the Song Dynasty were very smart. They constantly used various stacked official positions to decentralize power, so that no official could monopolize power. But what they did not expect was that when official turnover became a habit,

The subordinate officials have become the real masters of this country.

Subordinate officials are very unworthy in the eyes of scholars, but in fact they are familiar with the rules and regulations of the yamen, and even the business of the yamen, while officials are like running water. They are blind when they take office, and they don't know much when they leave.

Therefore, basically the so-called scholars thought that they were in charge, but in fact the subordinates were in charge.

There are various rules, regulations, laws and decrees in the imperial yamen, and each yamen has different laws and regulations. Various regulations have been developed over many years, often hundreds or thousands of volumes. Officials are transferred between different yamen. How can they

I don't have the energy to familiarize myself with them one by one, so I have to rely on subordinates who are familiar with them.

But the subordinate officials are different. They are essentially "servants" and serve the country, so they have no time limit.

In this case, they are naturally very familiar with their own group, and many of them are basically sons passed down from father to father, and brothers passed down from brother to brother. Their familiarity with them allows them to firmly control these powers, and even form a local authority.

He came into a family of subordinate officials.

Zhang Heng was very keenly aware of this.

There are many things he wants to do. If he relies on the emperor and civil servants, it is almost impossible to do it. But if he can change his mind, there may be a way to go, and this way is ignored by everyone.

subordinate!

The official Kongmu of the Salt and Iron Department is named Wei Zhengde. He lives up to his name. He is in his forties. Although he is wearing a black and white junior official robe, his face is upright, which makes people think that this person is both decent and moral.
