Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1748: The Prosperity of Chen Lifu's Prosperity (2)

Li Xuan valued Chen Lifu because he had enough ability and talent, and because he seemed to be a traditional scholar, he handled things calmly. Although he was a little more aggressive in his early years, he was transferred from the tax department and then moved to the local area. On the job, it is gradually stabilized.

But by the time he was the governor of Guangdong, he already had the demeanor of everyone.

In general, Li Xuan feels that this person is relatively calm, and some political ideas are more conservative, and he has been doing things in the Ministry of Commerce in recent years.

Therefore, in Li Xuan's heart, this person should not be a reformer, but a conservative.

There are everyone in the imperial study, and there are already reformists. Li Xuan brought Chen Lifu into the imperial study. In addition to his ability and talent, he also felt that this person's ideas were conservative and could effectively balance the situation in the imperial study.

But now it seems that this Chen Lifu is quite radical, even more radical than those reformers.

Opening his mouth is to expand the agricultural tax tiered tax rate, and closing his mouth is to set minimum wages and limit working hours, which surprised Li Xuan.

He knew that this Chen Lifu was a gentry, and the Jinling East Chen family was a family of officials and eunuchs. In recent years, these gentry and **** families have generally begun to transform, and most of the family wealth has already existed in the situation of various enterprises in industry and commerce.

The Chen family is also one of them.

However, this Chen Lifu, why the first knife is to cut his own people!

Even the current Li Xuan doesn't know Chen Lifu's true thoughts!

Since Xuanping's five-year career, Chen Lifu has had a dream, that is, to become an important town in the court, enter the imperial study, and then assist the Son of Heaven to build a prosperous Xuanping era.

This dream lasted for 31 years, for which he sacrificed too much.

Now he has successfully entered the imperial study, becoming the only minister on duty in the imperial study in the world, to a certain extent, it is more than ten thousand people.

At this time, more than half of his dream has been realized, and the next half is to create a prosperous world.

In order to declare peace and prosperity, what is the damage to the mere own industry!

What he wants is not the honor of the family or the interests of the gentry class, all he wants is to declare peace and prosperity!

What he wants is that when future generations talk about the Tang Dynasty and Xuanping years, the first person who will think of Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, may be the first person who will think of him, but he hopes that the second person who will think of him is Chen Lifu!

Today, the Tang Empire is still imperfect in his opinion, there are many flaws, and these flaws are what he needs to mend one by one.

Expanding the step-by-step agricultural tax rate, setting minimum wages and restricting working hours are just a stepping stone for Chen Lifu to test the attitude of the Son of Heaven.

Chen Lifu's thoughts are actually incomprehensible to many people. In this world, the only person who can understand him is his wife, and even Chen Lifu who understands his wife can only get it from him. I know a thing or two in the cold bamboo pictures in the entire study.

In his cold bamboo pictures, he always paints lonely bamboos that are still standing proudly in a desperate situation.

In the vast snow field, a green bamboo stands proudly on the snow field, no matter how strong the wind blows the snow, the green bamboo stands still!

But what is he holding on to? No one can know this, not even his wife.

Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, naturally doesn't know, but Li Xuan doesn't care!

For Li Xuan, choosing Chen Lifu to be in the imperial study is just a routine operation. Over the years, he has adjusted the personnel in the imperial study at regular intervals, and he will try to keep the structure of the imperial study as stable as possible.

What kind of imperial study structure is the most stable, that is, it cannot be dominated by one family!

Since Liu Bagou became a senior official, no one of the ministers on duty in the imperial study has been able to overwhelm others, and these ministers on duty have roughly the same power.

For example, Chen Lifu, who has been newly added, is a second-grade official of the Ministry of Commerce. At the same time, Li Xuan also asked him to be in charge of economic development, so whether it is the Ministry of Commerce or other Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, etc. He can get involved in affairs or institutions related to economic development.

However, the other ministers on duty are also powerful enough. For example, Qin Xunke, the Minister of Finance who entered the account last year, has worked in the financial system for a long time. After entering the account, he is in charge of financial affairs, and the most important thing is He also oversees the tax department.

To put it bluntly, he is in charge of money, and he is in charge of everything related to the government's money, and no matter when, the weight of the money bag is very heavy.

There is also Jia Wenbo, Minister of Personnel. He has no other affairs in charge, but one Minister of Personnel is enough. The Ministry of Personnel has always been the most important department in the empire, especially after Qian Yuli became an official, there was no Qian Yuli to press, and the Tax Department Although it is still strong, it is no longer able to stand out.

Jia Wenbo, a man who is in charge of the political life of countless officials, speaks a little louder outside, which can cause a major earthquake in the officialdom. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com is such a big man, how can he not have power.

There is also Xie Yiwei, Minister of Rites, who is not only responsible for interests, but also in charge of diplomacy, education, and imperial examinations. In addition, some of the people's livelihood and internal affairs are also in charge of him. Although they are not very good, they can't stand the many affairs in charge of others. They can't beat you one-on-one.

The above four people are the core pillars of the traditional civil service group in the imperial study.

As for the other five people in the imperial study, they have nothing to do with traditional civil servants.

Among them, one in the army and one in the navy are all active duty bosses in the army and navy.

Then there is one person in each of the Grand Court and the Procuratorate. These two institutions are independent of the civil service group. The Grand Court is fine, and it can be regarded as an independent institution with the smallest real power in the Tang Dynasty.

However, the Inspectorate is not simple. They have great authority, and the agency and other officials in the cabinet are natural enemies. The high-ranking officials in the Inspectorate, especially the imperial censors of the third rank and above, are all stained on their hands. Full of the blood of corrupt officials, otherwise they would not be able to climb up.

The censors in the Datang Inspectorate can only be transferred to and from the judicial system, and there is a high probability that they will still serve in the Inspectorate during their lifetime. They have nothing to do with other officials. At the same time, if they want to be promoted, there is only one way, then It is to catch corrupt officials.

These censors don't take down a few high-ranking officials in the cabinet, and he doesn't expect to be able to climb up to become the censor of the capital.

The next one is the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, although it is said that the officials of some departments in the Hanlin Academy are closely related to the ordinary civil service group. However, the Master of the Academy has always had nothing to do with traditional civil servants.

The bachelors in the past dynasties were all secretaries in the secretariat. The secretaries of these secretariats were different from the officials of other departments of the Hanlin Academy. They were all orphans.
