Lu Yijian and Li Di quelled their resentment, and the two ministers became much more harmonious, not as nervous as before. The officials came to tea, and the ministers sat in the small hall in front of them with tea, discussing the recent government affairs.

After Xu Ping left the Sansi, Cheng Lin, who took over, focused on stability and no major policy changes. However, the historical process had begun. After the court's policies stabilized, the new policies began to gradually refine and deepen, expanding to all parts of the country. Now, the new policies have been fully introduced in the core areas such as Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Chuanxia. In addition to Kaifeng and Luoyang, several regional centers have begun to emerge. The money and grain collected by the Sansi have made a big move a year ago, and their dependence on agricultural taxes is getting smaller and smaller, and the proportion paid by banks and industrial and commercial industries under the Sansi is becoming larger and larger.

This change in economic structure will inevitably bring about corresponding political changes. As the yamen under the Secretariat, the voice of the Sansi Department in the court increased day by day. In order to balance, the Secretariat directly intervened in the affairs of the Sansi Department. Recently, it has specially arranged for the magistrate and political affairs officer Chen Zhi to take charge of the affairs of the Sansi Department. If this continues, it will take a few years to either split the three departments or give the Sansi Department a seat. Whether it is to let the three departments further, enter the State Council, or the Criminal Council, or to separate one person to take charge of the affairs of the Three Departments, and seize power from the Three Departments, it means that the weight of the Three Departments in the power structure increases. This change in the center of power will inevitably be reflected in the changes in the court.

In addition to the increasing voice of the Sansi yamen in the court, another unsettling change is the business of the Sansi yamen, whether it is banks, shops, farms, sugar and other giants, or a series of industrial and commercial industries scattered in the capital and local areas, which are increasingly heavy in the economy, especially in the finances. There are many situations in this situation. The money and grain collected by some less developed prefectures and counties are not as profitable as the industries paid by Sansi in some places. Even in extreme cases, the money and grain collected by local governments are negative, and the subsidies are required.

The changes in the economic strength of the industrial under the three departments are even more unsettling, because in the past, most of the supervisors were appointed by military officials, and only the super-large super-large supervisors such as banks, farmland affairs, and sugar affairs would be directly sent by the Secretary of the Central Committee. The economic power of the industrial company is strong, and it is impossible to continue to maintain this pattern. The civil officials will inevitably require some large industrial companies to be managed. The official rank and status of the supervisors will be increased, and the appointment will no longer be decided by the Secretary of the Central Committee, but will be received by the Secretary of the Central Committee. However, whether it is received by the Officer's Court, or placed in the Third Class Court, or separate into several parts and several yamen.

There is no conclusion yet. This hot topic has been popular recently, second only to the Northwest War, and there are many discussions from top to bottom. Facing this trend, civil officials are in a complicated mood. The increase in the weight of the Sansi Industry in government affairs will inevitably lead to the rise of the status of officials who are knowledgeable and the decline of the status of Ci ministers. It can be said that some people are happy and some are worried. Since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, the process of improving the status of Ci ministers has actually ended, and personal preferences cannot change this trend at all. The emperor can improve the official position of Ci ministers, but there is no way to do so in court affairs. That is uncontrollable.

The summer heat in the afternoon faded, and the conference hall was not as hot as before, but the enthusiasm of several prime ministers to discuss was still high. Recently, due to the war in the Northwest, there were many conflicts between the two governments. Today, I put down my worries and found that there were more problems that both sides had to face together waiting for everyone. Civil officials, military generals, civil and military positions, this is not the same concept, and they have all come together recently.

It was not until the sun sets westward that Zhao Zhen came late. The priests carried out the rituals and formally began to discuss matters.

After saluting, Zhao Zhen ordered Shi Quanbin who was following him: "Let's go to the hall to see if the Hexi Room of the Privy Council has any matters to be discussed. It's not too late, so let them not delay."

Shi Quanbin responded and ran out of the front hall quickly.

Li Di and Lu Yijian looked at each other and immediately knew why Zhao Zhen arrived so late. The official always respected the ministers in the court. He issued an edict to discuss matters. According to normal habits, he would not let everyone wait for so long. Today's abnormality is probably related to Li Zhang's appearance. He was the official's cousin, but he was afraid that Zhao Zhen was deliberately delaying his time, for fear of not being prepared well. I think Zhao Zhen thought that Li Zhang had studied well in the northwest and was eager to show off in front of the prime ministers of the two governments, and was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his anger for his youth and could not hold back his anger for the first time. He had to suppress time desperately.

After a moment, Shi Quanbin ran out from inside and saluted Zhao Zhen: "The official family, Li Jianyu is ready, just waiting for the official family and your husband to come in. The young man took a look and it was like the young man who went to Qinzhou last time and saw him there."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, everyone will come in together to discuss matters, discuss matters!"

After saying that, he took Shi Quanbin to take the lead, and the ministers and ministers followed closely.

As soon as they entered the conference hall, the ministers of the two governments felt a strange feeling coming to their faces. Lu Yijian and Li Di looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. This feeling has not been felt for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet again today. I am afraid I will not be able to get rid of it in the future. This feeling is indescribable. If you have to say it in one sentence, it is Xu Ping's return.

Today, Xu Ping resigned as the envoy of the Three Divisions more than a year ago, and was completely incomparable when he left the northwest. Now, not only did he treat various positions more than the magistrate, but more importantly, his achievements were unparalleled. Not only did he make military achievements in the northwest, but he also had the achievements brought about by the continuous deepening of the new policies of the Three Divisions. The entire court has already made his mark. Now, as long as money and grain are involved in the court, some people say that it was decided by the Civilization Bachelor, so there is no objection. Some people forcefully to make a decision.

Naturally, a group of civil servants who have recently emerged have come forward to make you unable to get out of Taiwan. The older the ministers, the more invisible constraints, the deeper the influence. The old methods used to be useless. The newly grown officials have their own set of logic for doing things. As more and more officials are familiar with this logic, the impact is getting bigger and bigger. Li Di and Lu Yijian are exhausted, which is not unrelated to the current trend in the court. They are really old and really cannot learn the set of methods established by Xu Ping.

The first feeling that when entering the conference hall today was that in the future, the court not only involved money and food affairs, but also military affairs would also be shrouded under Xu Ping's influence. What is there? The most convenient way for newcomers to take office is to start a new job and compete with the old ministers in the court. Xu Ping provided such a path, which is still a bright road. As long as you follow it, you can do things well and make achievements. The elderly can only do nothing.

In fact, Lu Yijian didn't know how Li Zhang was going to take charge of the Hexi affairs. It was not that Li Zhang concealed him, but Li Zhang reported everything. It was just that Lu Yijian knew that this was Zhao Zhen's advancement to his cousin, so he deliberately avoided it and did not ask. Today, seeing this posture, he knew what Li Zhang was going to do and that he knew that he wanted to show the entire Northwest War to everyone.

There is a huge map hanging on the wall to the east of the meeting hall, and each one should be divided into small figures. It is marked in detail on it, as well as various terrain, deployment of troops, even storage of money and grain, marching routes, and war goals. However, only Qin Feng’s road signs are particularly detailed, while the others are just rough and outlined. There are various shelves next to the map, with several boards hanging on it, and various charts, including what are the troop strengths, actual forces, money and grains, and even the commanding officers in various places, all listed.

To put it more exaggeratedly, if you want to know anything about the military affairs in the Northwest, this house can give you the answer. If you can't explain it clearly here, it is something that the Privy Council has not taken care of, or the generals ahead missed and reported.

This is what we really need to do when planning and winning thousands of miles away.
