Chapter 31 Jane in the Emperor's Heart (for liveaben

As the caravans under Su Qiongzhi expanded, Xiliang Qinfeng wine was sold to Daqi and gradually became famous.

At the beginning, the General's Mansion and Chen Shou agreed that he would earn the money for the wine himself, and the General's Mansion would not want it. Now it has naturally become Chen Shou's wallet.

Only with money can you support private soldiers. Chen Shou has four Taoist temples under him, as well as the Jinyu Guard. The five places have no less than two thousand people. By collecting Hu people's business taxes and selling wine, Chen Shou still has a lot of money every month, and the more he saves.

These two thousand people were Chen Shou's arrogant capital in the capital. He sent someone to beat Liu Qin's younger brother and drove Bai Zhongchuan out of Bianliang, which was once notorious.

This is not the first time Chen Shou has done such a thing. Relying on the emperor's favor, he once took people to the Prince Consort's Mansion to beat Wang Chaolong to a bruised face.

Wang Chaolong has always been famous in Bianliang. He was a rich and idle noble relative and had a good relationship with civil officials and royal family.

When civil servants scolded Chen Shou, they did everything they could to scold, but he looked really handsome and was not bad at all, so they called him a jade-faced and snake-hearted person.

Chen Shou, who has a jade face and a snake heart, has another kind of reputation in Liangzhou. After he took over Qin Fengying, he turned this "orphanage" that his grandfather once did not love his grandmother and did not love him into a real cradle of talents.

Not only can you eat well here, but you can also learn literature and martial arts. Chen Shou pays for it.

Li Wei fought against Hengshan at that time, and in desperation, he promised him a lot of privileges, and his original intention was to slowly take them back after the battle.

However, after the Hengshan victory, Li Jin died tragically, and Li Wei, who was sent by a white-haired man, lost this mood.

His only son, who did not want to avenge his brother, was even more heartbroken by his blind loyalty.

Disheartened, Li Wei was too lazy to care about it, which caused the impact of Qin Fengying to become increasingly greater.

Even many children with healthy parents hope to send them to Qinfeng Camp for their children's future.

Because of Qin Fengchang's practice of sheltering orphans, Chen Shou is synonymous with lofty righteousness and kindness in Liangzhou.

Especially in the army, he had a high reputation because he could save him as the orphan of the good brothers who had lived and died.

Jiang Xiangyu once told Li Wei about this matter with concern. Li Wei sighed at that time and said that this kid is also the son-in-law of the Li family, so I am too lazy to care about it.

Jiang Xiangyu thought that this was the old coach's family matter, so he stopped interfering, and they all had some complaints about Li Xin.

Most of the veterans in the Xiliang Army could not stand Li Xin's foolish loyalty, but Li Xin's men regarded him as a god.

Li Xin is really outstanding. His achievements do not rely on veteran soldiers and experienced Xiliang generals at all.

He led a group of young people and soon grew into a group of invincible elite soldiers, making these veterans both admired and angry.

In Liangzhou City, in the base camp of Qinfeng Camp, teams of soldiers have just finished training.

There were fifty little soldiers, not tall and not old in the crowd, probably only eleven or twelve years old, and were selected.

They took off their red military jackets, tied scarves around their necks, wore various coarse linen clothes, gasped in their mouths and were waiting for the carriage at the door.

On their necks, there were women such as their mother and grandmother, and the dry food they prepared was hung on their chests.

They were going to go to the capital to join the manager and serve the manager, and everyone was very excited.

For these children in Liangzhou, Bianliang is a faraway place. It is rumored that it is like a fairyland. Everyone in the wealthy people wear gold and silver, and no one will never be able to eat enough.

After a while, a caravan came over. The children had their own carriages, got in one by one, drove in one by one, and joined the caravan in turn.

A manager in the caravan frowned and said, "So many kids, don't you have to distract yourself on the road? I'm so troublesome."

The people who were traveling with each other looked at him with strange eyes. One of them smiled and said, "This is the first time you are traveling with them. These kids can handle things, be quick to learn, read and write, and plan to plan. With them following you, the journey will be much easier."

This new manager tilted his head and looked disbelief. The people around him did not argue with him. There were opportunities for him to see him on his own along the way.

The caravan soon arrived on the official road, and now all the Hu merchants have stepped on one road after another.

There are often caravans driving camels on the road, namely the Karakhan merchants from the Western Regions. They cut off the trade routes. As long as Westerners come from the trade routes, they will be cut off and hung on the road as a signpost.

The bones on the road lead to a wealth avenue. You can make a fortune by walking here one time.

Bianliang, in Chen Mansion.

"I am grateful for the help of my loyal and brave man this time." Liu Shangying, the new Minister of Personnel, smiled and presented Chen Shou with incense tea.

"Mr. Liu is too humble. With his talent and experience, he should have been ranked first among the nine ministers." Chen Shou was kind enough to speak, and his eyes could not hide his complacent look.

"The luck is not good, and the life in the officialdom is full of Wei Yunse. Jiang Chucai and other villains blocked the way. If it weren't for the planning of the loyal and brave uncle, I wouldn't know when I would rise." Thinking of the decades of miserable official career, Liu Shangying sighed to the sky.

A few days ago, Zhang Cai, the Minister of Personnel, retired and returned home. The memorial for the Minister of Personnel to fill the gap was sent to Emperor Gengyuan.

It happened that Chen Shou was preaching there, and he said very well that Emperor Gengyuan's heart was very irritating. Every sentence touched his itchy place, and he was so happy that Emperor Gengyuan almost scratched his ears and his forehead.

After reading the memorial, he asked casually. Chen Shou immediately pinched his fingers and recommended Liu Shangying, who had come to his mansion to "drink tea" a few days ago.

In the Great Qi ancestral system, there are differences between internal and external officials. Selecting officials and appointments in the inner court is the emperor's family matter. Foreign ministers don't like each other, so they can always oppose impeachment. There is no reason to interfere according to the rules. As for the outer court, there is too much room for operation.

The Ministry of Personnel selects literature, the Ministry of War selects military officials. Among civil officials, the civil officials are under the fifth rank, and the local officials under the fourth rank, they are all formulated by the Ministry of Personnel and handed them over to the emperor to draw a picture of a formality, which is called Ministry selection.

The selection of middle-level officials at the higher level is called "ministerial promotion". The Ministry of Personnel has launched a list of candidates to give face to the emperor to choose. However, who is the main promoter and who is the deputy promoter has been noted. Those who know the person will draw circles on the main promoter, otherwise the deputy promoter will be run away soon.

The higher level is to be selected, and the six ministers and ministers of the nine ministers are appointed by the emperor.

When people get old, they are inevitably confused. Emperor Yuan is already old and is almost exhausted. Thanks to Chen Shou and Doctor Liu, he lets him burn out his last vitality faster.

If later historians knew about Chen Shou's candidates for the Minister of Personnel, they would definitely criticize these two foolish monarchs and treacherous ministers.

Chen Shou raised the tea bowl and took a sip, and said as if nothing had happened: "The old man, thanks to the grace of the emperor, should abide by his duties, choose his abilities, and make all his talents available to him, and use them to his own use."

This is obviously to enlighten him. In the future, more people are arranged, Liu Shangying, who is a person who is a human spirit, of course, understand it.

"Don't be honest and don't worry, I know what I think."
