The public official came to tea, and Xu Ping and Chen Zhizhong sat down and asked him: "When participating in politics, what important positions do the yamen have to be replaced? These days, I have never seen any change of people here in Sansi."

Chen Zhizhong said: "When you come, why can I replace you before leaving? Speaking of replacement, there are actually many people in the yamen, and you have to be busy for a while."

Wang Juzheng's father-in-law was Chen Yaozuo. Chen Yaozuo was in the political affairs. According to the evasion law, he had to leave Beijing and the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue had to be replaced. Wang Bowen had already decided to go to the Sherenyuan to serve as the magistrate, and the deputy envoy of the salt and iron had to be replaced. Before the person left, he was just waiting for Xu Ping to arrange the candidates to take over. As for the judges below, Gouyuan, Mokansi, etc., there were even more people to be replaced.

The Sansi is not a good yamen and can walk to a higher place, so Xu Ping is not able to leave people here.

After discussing with Chen Zhizhong for a while, Xu Ping had a rough idea and took this opportunity to arrange the person he liked into the Sansi. Zhao Zhen did not move the position of Sansi, so he was just giving him this convenience.

After talking about the personnel affairs in the yamen, Xu Ping said: "I am back this time and I should guess that many yamen in the three departments will also change. Some need to be merged, some need to be cut, and some may be set up new ones. There are more troublesome things to participate in politics."

Chen Zhizhong shook his head helplessly: "Of course I guessed it long ago. I have promoted the government to the government affairs hall to participate in politics. Why doesn't this mean? We are our own people, please tell me the general constitution first so that I can have a clear idea in my heart."

Among the people of Xu Ping and Chen Zhizhong, they are both close together, and they are both Zhao Zhen’s most confidant faction. Now that Zhao Zhen’s power in the outer court is weak, the two naturally get closer and support each other. Of course, if there is a day when the power of other prime ministers is suppressed, the two will develop into a new outer court faction. The outer court and the inner court have natural conflicts. If you want to sit firmly in the outer court, the struggle with the inner court will inevitably be inevitable. To be honest, is Li Di and Zhao Zhen’s relationship far away? But once you become the prime minister, you will have to fight with the emperor for power.

Either be a lonely man in the outer court, with enemies everywhere, and only one person is in the heart of the emperor. Or one must cooperate and fight with the emperor, so that the prime minister can control the outer court and govern smoothly. This is a contradiction brought about by the political structure. It is not changed by a certain person's personal will. The determination in the middle depends on everyone's ability. If you do well, you will be like Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng. One relies on a wide range of gangs and the other rely on his ability and personal charm. He can not only respond to the outside court, but also maintain a harmonious relationship with the emperor.

Now, Xu Ping must work closely with Chen Zhizhong to do practical things in the Three Divisions. Chen Zhizhong helped waving flags and shouting in the Political Affairs Hall, and also blocked doubts and pressure from all sides. The prime minister was in charge of a country's government affairs. With the Three Divisions, their energy would not be divided into three Divisions. The three Divisions of the various yamen in the capital accounted for 60 to 70%, but that refers to common affairs. The number of yamen accounts for a large amount, but the importance is far less important. The core of politics is still personnel. The four-enterprise knows that Kaifeng Prefecture is the most difficult to do, and the three Divisions of the people are second, so this is the reason. It is exhausting to do things, but its status is far less than that of the Hanlin Bachelor and the Censor General.

Xu Ping sorted out his thoughts and said to Chen Zhizhong: "In addition to the changes in some positions and personnel in the yamen, the most urgent thing now is to repay the tickets on West Jing Road. Not to mention the storm caused by the incident before I returned to Beijing, I have to solve it anyway when I come back. Just look at the number of tens of millions of coins and not cleaned up as soon as possible, and everything in the Sanshi will be dragged down. There are not many things in the world that can have interest rates of tens of millions of coins."

Chen Zhizhong nodded: "This matter is indeed urgent. Not only are there discussions on Jingxi Road, but there are also various statements in the capital. Many officials are afraid that after you arrive at the Sansi, all the money you earn from the Sansi will be transferred to Jingxi Road, and everyone will suffer. I heard that you compiled a set of "Profiting the Country and Safeguarding the People" on Jingxi Road, which talks about how to solve it. I wonder if it is not right?"

"There are always methods, and it is indeed mentioned in "Proposal of the Country and the People". The booklet has been compiled. Before I returned to Beijing, I summoned officials from Jingxi Road to discuss the matter in Dengzhou. I was going to give it to the court, but I was suddenly summoned to Beijing and delayed there."

Chen Zhizhong said: "As long as I go to the court, I can always see it. Don't rush to this moment. Let me tell you what kind of method it is. I know what it is, so I won't know anything when I'm asked about it."

Xu Ping smiled: "In fact, it was just mentioned by the two husbands of King Lu. What they said were the methods mentioned in "Prosperity of the Country and Security of the People". It is considered that heroes have similar opinions. However, what the two husbands said is too brief after all, and even if they are implemented, there will be many problems. I have also thought about it these days, and I still have to start the road of money houses that Mr. Lu said."

"What exactly? What Mr. Lu said that day, I didn't sound very reliable."

"It is naturally not reliable to rely on the money house alone and just want to collect some money to respond to emergency situations. If this road is to be successful, the Sansi Yamen must undergo major changes. Several new Yamen must be set up to specialize in doing things."

Xu Ping habitually took a pen on the table and gestured while talking, but he did not dip ink. Officials with the status of Chen Zhizhong were all chosen for a while, with a very smart mind and a good memory. There would be no such thing as the other party talking for a long time. Otherwise, in this era, everyone would sit upright in front of the emperor, and they would not ask others casually, and they would not take notes. Those who reacted a little slower would make a fool of themselves.

"Catching money through a bank is only a means, and the key is how to spend this money. If you spend it unclearly, it is better not to collect it. It is the worst strategy. If you use it in useful places, you will understand the accounts clearly and it is the best strategy. If you spend it clearly and you can collect more money back, it is the best strategy. Now the first step is to strive to avoid the worst strategy. You cannot spend it unclearly. You must be clear about what you spent. If you are not clear about the accounts, you will be hard to achieve success no matter how much money you collect! "

After hearing Xu Ping's words, Chen Zhizhong felt a little embarrassed. When Xu Ping was the deputy envoy of salt and iron, the three officials collected a lot of extra money in, but Chen Zhizhong took over the three officials. The money was inexplicably spent, leaving a big hole.

Smiling and hiding his embarrassment, Chen Zhizhong said: "This matter is easy to say, but difficult to do. Does Yunxing have a constitution?"

"Everything is planned, and no plan will be ruined! The first thing I did when I returned to the Sansi was to spend the next six months to clarify how much money the government offices, the imperial guards and other things would cost next year, wherever they would spend, and how they would spend. Only by clarifying it clearly can the three departments spend money next year be targeted and not messy. I call this matter the court's budget for spending next year. Once it is decided, it will be handled according to the rules after the Chinese New Year."

Chen Zhizhong stood there for a while and didn't say anything, and finally said: "This matter is indeed a bit difficult. But there is one advantage. Although my accounts are a bit messy these days in Sansi, I have not accumulated any accounts. Now I have only this year's accounts. Yunxing wants to do this, so I don't need to spend too much energy on the old accounts."

Xu Ping nodded: "It's best, you can concentrate on arranging things for the next year!"

The three-subsidiary accounting was corrected by Xu Ping back then, and it was much easier. The backlog of accounts was indeed not a big problem.
Chapter completed!
