Xue Ping looked at Li Ze in front of him blankly. He was a little incredible about his appointment, which was beyond his expectations.

What he asked for was the position of Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites was originally a noble position, especially the small court in Zhenzhou was now in a corner, so the Ministry of Rites was even more in trouble. He believed that he would get what he wanted from Li Ze, and in this way, he would have more time to devote himself to uniting like-minded loyal ministers who assisted the great cause of Tang Dynasty.

What's more, Li Ze is definitely unwilling to give it to himself if he really has real power.

But now, what is spit out of Li Ze's mouth is the four words "Senior Minister of Works".

In the Tang Dynasty, the six ministers of the Tang Dynasty were divided into three lines, with officials and soldiers in front, criminals in the middle, and rituals in the next step, and rituals in the next step, and rituals in the top ranking, the Ministry of Rites was ranked before the Ministry of Works. However, in the current situation of Wuyi and Li Ze's own style of doing things, the position of the Ministry of Works was greatly advanced.

If they were to re-rank a ranking, the Ministry of Works would be ranked fourth at the worst, behind the Third Division of the Office of the Office of the Ministry of Personnel and Military Affairs.

The Ministry of Industry controls civil engineering, water conservancy, national agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry (except military horses), and fishing, and is a real affairs department. Li Ze himself has a strong paranoid attitude towards roads, water conservancy and other construction. Every time he occupies a land, he always does these things.

Xue Ping gradually realized some of these. Li Zexiu was allocated funds by the Duzhi Department. Most of them adopted the form of labor-for-relief. In fact, it was a disguised pension for these newly occupied land, so that the people in the area had food, something to do, and a little income. At the same time, in the process of doing these, the population census was also completed. Under normal circumstances, the project had not been completed, and Wuyi's rule over the local area had already gained a firm foothold and the order was restored.

Military farming is also the top priority. In addition to the newly reclaimed land, the Ministry of Industry's Military farming department also manages the distribution rights of all public lands. They can fully grasp the transactions such as Yongye fields, public fields turning into private fields, etc., and they all have very rich and heavy oil.

Whether it is building roads, water conservancy, or military farming, it requires a lot of funds and manpower. After the official establishment of the Ministry of Industry, the funds I use every year are probably huge, which can be considered a first-class fat.

Of course, this is also a department that is very busy. Even when I was in Chang'an, the areas controlled by the Chang'an court were only limited to Heluo and Guanzhong, and the officials of the Ministry of Works were all too busy to focus on the ground. The rivers were flooded here, the roads collapsed, some people occupied public fields here, and some people caught fishing privately. Everything was enough to make people scratch their heads.

"Brother Xue, you originally wanted as the Minister of Rites. Mr. Zhang Huizhang has already expressed his attitude and told me that it is him." Li Ze spread his hands and put the big black pot on Zhang Hui. "Mr. Zhang is noble in character and respectful. His lifelong wish is to let the knowledge he studied spread throughout the world. What's more, the Ministry of Rites is also in the important task of selecting scholars in the imperial examinations. Such a person must be the one who will come to the formation!"

Xue Ping had nothing to say. If the Minister of Rites in Li Ze's mouth was someone else, he could still argue with reason, but the chapters Li Ze brought out were incomparable to him, no matter which aspect he was.

"Brother Xue is young and strong, and it is the time when he is working for the country. The Ministry of Works has a great responsibility!" Li Ze said sympathetically: "The most basic construction in places like Yuan Zhaoyijie Town and Weibojie Town is simply terrible. The memorial written by the officials we sent out mentioned that every rainy season, even the official road is muddy and difficult to walk, and the river water often floods the dike. Check the local county annals, and occasionally encounters drought and flood, they will be hungry all over the field. Even if there is food in the city, there is a lot of food.

At that time, we could not transport it to the disaster-stricken place. We watched people starve to death and sighed when we read it. We couldn't control it before, but now we have been under the rule of the court. How can we let such things happen again? Next, you have to run more. We should put these things that can truly solve the sufferings of people's livelihood first. Do one thing today and do one tomorrow. There will always be a time when it is done, right? Do one thing, and you can benefit the people in the whole place."

Li Ze, who was singing high-profile, didn't care that Xue Ping's face was getting worse and worse.

Xue Ping could not object.

Because Li Zezheng stood on the commanding heights of morality and pointed at him, Xue Ping was very strong and had good abilities, so how could he think about enjoying happiness now? You have to work harder to resolve the upside down of the people and the sufferings of the people are the right thing to do.

At this time, he also understood Li Ze's intention.

The other party wanted to use these complicated matters to trap him. Think about it, if something happened to Zhenzhou or the prince, Xue Ping was planning a plan in a distant place to build roads, build water conservancy, and organize rivers. Even if he got the news, when he came back, he was afraid that the daylily would be cold.

Leave here and don't leave?

In his position, he must do his own affairs, otherwise he will fail the matter. Li Ze will just send himself openly and impose himself on his own. At that time, he will be sent to a remote place to be a governor and a county magistrate. Do you go by yourself or not? Maybe Li Ze is thinking this way, waiting for him to make a mistake and deal with him?

He has seen too many ghostly activities in the officialdom. He may be able to get caught by being careful and every measure of his defense, let alone using both his own deliberations?

How about resigning from office and not doing it?

The royal family is already weak and can occupy very few positions in the small courts of Zhenzhou. The Minister of Works is at least a third rank. Sitting in this position, he can more or less install many of his own people. If he really doesn't do it, Li Ze would be afraid that he would pretend to keep him, and immediately replace him.

Without a location, how can we talk about influence?

Xue Ping left the Jie Zheng Mansion in a daze.

Li Ze gave Han Qi the position of Minister of War in accordance with the previous agreement, but that was at the cost of cutting the town. Li Cunzhong was able to retain the position of the General of the Guard, but the local governance power under the original Hedong ruled was all taken back. The next step of the governance power of these places, the positions of the governors and county magistrates, was another arduous struggle. If even these governance powers were lost and they completely lost control of the local area, the chips in their hands would be further reduced.

Xue Ping had a deep understanding of Li Ze's methods of erosion in the local area. Places like Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou have completed the updates silently. In addition to war methods, Yizhou, Cangzhou, Dingzhou, launched reforms from bottom to top, and eventually forced the original officials to step down one by one and were replaced by Li Ze and his team.

Yixingshe is a knife in Li Ze's hand that was killed without blood.

The days of the people in Hedong are not a little worse than those under the rule of Wuwei. Moreover, Hedong is still in power and powerful aristocratic families, and most of the officials come from these families. These people are tied up with braids and tied up their braids. It would be strange if Li Ze does not make a fuss about this.

How much real power Han Qi can hold in the Ministry of War is also a questionable matter. The military system reform, eliminating the local army and abolishing the local Zhechong Prefecture, would mean that one arm of the Ministry of War had been cut off. Apart from the 12 guards, the rest of the twelve guards were all built into field troops, and their independence was greatly strengthened, and the influence of the Ministry of War on them was greatly reduced. Now they expected to be able to control were Li Cunzhong and Qin Zhao.

The Eleventh Guards, they could only get two guards, which was a bit disheartening.

Tian Lingzi also got the position of Taichang Temple Minister as he wished, but this person had limited ability. Apart from being able to follow the emperor loyally, there were not many people who could count on him outside.

We have to find a way to push Cheng Xu, Jin Shiyong and others upwards, and the six people who were brought back from Weizhou because of the emperor's edict, also had to use the emperor's east wind to find a good position for them.

In the night wind, Xue Ping, who was walking slowly, gradually raised his chest and his steps became faster and faster, which surprised the guards following him because they also felt the change from low to high in the superior's mood.

The road is long and arduous, and I will search up and down!

Xue Ping kept cheering up for himself in his heart. As long as he didn't die, he would fight! As long as he was still fighting, there was hope! What's more, he was not trying to overthrow Li Ze and replace him. What he wanted was just to limit Li Ze's ambitions and not allow him to replace him in the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Ping walked forward in the night.

Li Ze was complacent in the mansion to make Xue Ping suffer. No matter what, Xue Ping was a capable official and a talent who could do things. He asked him to go to the Ministry of Works, let countless business work tie him up, and let him keep running around to solve problems, so he will naturally suffer less trouble.

At this time, in the inn, Jing Xiang was holding a notice, studying the political reform edict that had been issued word by word. The edict was only described from the general outline. However, for people like Jing Xiang, they could see something deeper in the inside from this large and slashing edict.

"Military advisor, Gongsun Changming just sent someone to inform him that we could meet Shuai Cao and General Zhu tomorrow." Wu Jian pushed the door and reported.

"Okay, I'll come to study this thing with Shuai Cao." Yang Yang's announcement, "It's meaningful and of great significance!"

Wu Jian smiled and said, "In essence, Li Ze is just holding the power."
Chapter completed!
