As far as Kong Zheng knows, Kong Maojie held a position as Deputy Secretary-General of the Secretariat.

This secretariat is not ranked alongside several other specific departments, and its level is not high, but it is very important.

Because Su Yonglin takes over the power, the General Affairs Bureau has a large number of government affairs that require Su Yonglin to make decisions and deal with every day, which leads to Su Yonglin's busy government affairs and lack of skills.

So he set up a secretariat and selected smart and capable subordinates to join the secretariat to help him handle the increasingly heavy government affairs together.

There are not many people in the Secretariat, with about a dozen people, their positions are not high, and their powers are not very heavy. However, because they are with Su Yonglin and are surrounded by Su Yonglin, they are naturally highly valued.

As the deputy secretary-general, Kong Maojie, who has the same surname as him, is obviously a person who is trusted by Su Yonglin. If he can have a good relationship with him, he will naturally benefit from it.

Kong Zheng thought about this, so he even wanted to use the key point that both of them were surnamed Kong to make a relationship with him. At worst, he could have a way to recognize his ancestors or something, and it would be better to be close to the water.

But the situation seems not as simple as he thought.

Secretary-General Kong seemed to really dislike what he did and was very disgusted with the gold and silver.

"Secretary-General Kong, this... is just a little bit of my thoughts..."

"I appreciate it, but don't do anything like this anymore. If Mr. Kong feels that he has too much money, he can donate the money to the General Affairs Bureau. The General Affairs Bureau is worried that there is not enough money to appease the people."

Kong Maojie finished speaking sarcastically, gave a simple bow and left.

The reason behind Kong Zheng was both angry and scared.

Of course, Kong Maojie's attitude made him very upset.

He was also a duke in the previous dynasty and a respected great man. Even if the Jin Kingdom is over now, once a new country is established, wouldn’t he still use his name as Kong to win over scholars all over the world?

Why do you, a little deputy secretary-general, dare to talk to me like this?

And who doesn’t know that your Restoration Army squeezed millions of taels of gold and tens of millions of taels of silver from the Jin Dynasty?

There are also all kinds of jewelry and antiques that the entire palace cannot accommodate. Various cultural relics have probably piled up into mountains. It is just such a huge fortune. Do you think it is not enough or too little?

Of course, fear really exists.

Kong Zheng was also afraid that Kong Maojie was too close to Su Yonglin, so saying a few bad words would be enough to cast a shadow on his purpose and prevent his purpose from being well realized.

He heard that Su Yonglin was promoting his own people to local officials and central officials, and was also selecting a large number of officials from the former Jin Dynasty to join the political system of the Restoration Army.

The current situation is that the Han people in Yanyun have joined the Restoration Military Government in large numbers, and even some Khitans and Xi people have been accepted.

For example, Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi, the former senior officials of the Jin Empire, were both included in the General Affairs Bureau, as symbols of the joining of the Khitan officials of the Jin Kingdom to restore the military government.

As representatives of the Han people of Yanyun, the former governor of Jizhou, Han Xianling, and the former governor of Ruzhou, Hou Liangzhe, also joined the General Affairs Bureau and the Restoration Military Government, becoming symbols.

Let’s not talk about the Khitans and the Xi people. They are part of the non-span, so they will definitely not be able to pee in a pot.

I won’t talk about Su Yonglin’s old subordinates. In the future, Su Yonglin will become the emperor, and these people will be the Yuan Cong, so no one can go along the way.

Just talking about the Han people in Yanyun, it would be inconsistent with the Han people in the Central Plains.

As the first Han group to break away from the Central Plains Empire, when the Jin Dynasty was once again included in the same ruling system, there was already a big difference between the Han people in Yanyun and the Han people in the Central Plains, and there were also great prejudice between them.

Thanks to Song Huizong's slutty operation, the face and style of the Northern Song Dynasty were completely defeated, allowing the Han people in Yanyun to see how cowardly and incompetent the Han people in the Central Plains were and their ugly behavior as conquered people.

So for some time, the Han people in Yanyun have looked down on the Han people in the Central Plains for a long time.

The Han people in the Central Plains also disliked Yanyun and Han people who lived with Hu people for a long time, and had a scent of Hu people, and they didn't look like their compatriots at all.

Therefore, it is not a matter of two groups of people despise each other and commit regional blackmail.

Although the Su Yonglin regime, who is the representative of the Han regime in the Central Plains, crushed the Jin Empire with pure violence, destroyed the Jin Empire, and severely humiliated the Jin royal family and publicly tried the powerful and nobles of the Jin Kingdom, this series of actions greatly shocked the Han people in Yanyun.

This made the Han people in Yanyun find that the Han people in the Central Plains are still full of martial ethics, so they also changed their minds about the Han people in the Central Plains and felt that there were heroes in the Central Plains, so they believed that they were also heroes.

However, the differences brought about by the hundreds of years of different situations between them cannot be bridged casually.

The fierce man from heaven, Su Yonglin, can suppress various ethnic groups at the same time with his super strong force and prestige, so that they can use it for their own use, but the conflicts between them are definitely not small.

The Han people in the Central Plains obviously would not regard the Yanyun Han bureaucrats as their own people.

As a result, Kong Zheng suddenly found that there were not many opportunities left to them by the locals in Shandong. If he continued to wait, he might have to get the scraps that others didn't want.

Before a new country was established and the imperial examination system was decided to be restored, local gentry could not eat well or sleep well.

The purpose of Kong Zheng's coming here was not only to recommend himself to Su Yonglin, but also to advise Su Yonglin, which was also a test, asking him to restore the imperial examination system, test his attitude towards the Han officials in the Central Plains, and whether there were any preparations and plans to become emperors.

The situation is so tense now that many important central positions have been occupied. How can Kong Zheng not be in a hurry?

That is, Su Yonglin promised to meet him, which means that Su Yonglin was still thinking about them, otherwise Kong Zheng would have to consider whether he should join his clan to the Southern Sect.

After calming down a little, Kong Zheng regained his calmness.

He knew very well what he needed and what price he could give. As long as he could reach an agreement, the status of Kong's family in the new dynasty would inevitably be promoted, and perhaps he could restore to the glory that Kong's family led by Kong Yingda during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

The time when Su Yonglin promised to meet Kong Zheng was in the afternoon. It was the time when Su Yonglin took a short break after lunch.

But today, he decided to use this period to meet Kong Zheng, who had been left with him for more than a month.

He knew that Kong Zheng's purpose was nothing more than just some things. He didn't see him before because he had not finished some things and had not assigned some positions, but now he has almost prepared. He can give Kong Zheng a wave of extreme pressure and ask him for greater benefits.

Su Yonglin has no intention of becoming an emperor now, but in the near future, he wants to become an emperor. Now he is actually doing the emperor's affairs, and has power no less than that of the emperor by relying on military merits and prestige, but he has no name.

However, some preliminary preparations for establishing a state and regime must be made. For example, the prototype of the imperial court in the future will be built at this time. When the time comes, it will be directly expanded into the imperial court, transform on the spot, and change it.

At the moment when the main contradictions and targeted objects cannot be changed rashly, he must accept these elite literati and officials into his regime to help him share administrative pressure.

However, considering some uncontrollable harms of doing so, he feels that he must exert subjective initiative to minimize the impact of the harm.

The Han officials in the Central Plains cannot be allowed to become the mainstream in the future court, and even overwhelm his headquarters in the Revival Society.

Therefore, other political groups must be introduced to check and balance each other and suppress the Han Chinese doctors in the Central Plains to the greatest extent.

Although they can rely on the imperial examinations to achieve violence in numbers, it takes time. With that time, Su Yonglin can deal with them himself.

When the headquarters of the Revival Society was still young, more helpers were needed to curb the expansion of the power of the Han Chinese officials in the Central Plains in the court.

It was at this time that Su Yonglin noticed the complex situation in the Yanyun area and the legacy left to him by the Jin Empire.

A surplus for political groups to be divided by a visible division method.
