Chapter 2762

After chatting over hot tea, the conversation between the two naturally turned to work. Zhu Zian took the initiative to express that he knew very little about the work of the Special Liaison Office and hoped that Li Qingyang could explain it.

Li Qingyang put down his tea cup and replied: "Our yamen, we talk too much about things, but we talk about too little. The characteristic is miscellaneous! Whether it is the handover of government affairs from public to public, or civil affairs related to governance, as long as we communicate with the previous government

All relevant matters can be classified within the scope of our work. But we only need to select some of the more important events, make early contacts and record later, and the implementation and execution work will generally be left to other yamen."

Zhu Zian nodded slightly while quickly digesting the information conveyed in Li Qingyang's words in his mind.

At first glance, Li Qingyang's words make it seem like the Special Liaison Office is just a department that does miscellaneous tasks, but upon closer inspection, it is not the case. The Special Liaison Office has jurisdiction over all matters related to the previous dynasty. This kind of cross-industry and cross-regional management privileges,

But it is definitely not something that ordinary yamen can have.

Moreover, the Special Liaison Office can also screen the objects of attention and decide which incidents to participate in, so it has a very high degree of autonomy. The actual execution is left to other yamen, which means that you don’t have to do the dirty work yourself, and you can relax.

.

Li Qingyang continued: "Our mission is to try our best to discover various problems that will arise during the change of dynasties, formulate solutions and hand them over to other yamen for implementation, and finally supervise the implementation process of the plan. Zian, can you understand me?

"

Zhu Zian said: "Master Li, what if we encounter a problem that we cannot solve here, or it is difficult to coordinate actions with other yamen?"

Li Qingyang said: "When encountering such a situation, we will directly report it to the regional management committee, and the management committee will make a decision. If even the management committee can't handle it, then we have to ask the executive committee for instructions. But if the matter is really

If it were serious enough, other departments would have intervened long ago, and we don't need to bear the main pressure."

What this means is that even if the sky falls, there will be someone high to hold it up, so you don’t have to worry about it falling on your head. With the right to act independently, you don’t have to worry about taking the blame. Such a yamen can indeed afford to be "special"

"Two words.

Zhu Zian nodded and continued to ask: "Excuse me, Mr. Li, what specific tasks will you be responsible for after taking office?"

Li Qingyang had already made arrangements for this, and Nian Xu responded: "I know that Zi An is the new Jieyuan, and he is quite accomplished in writing, so I plan to let you work on copywriting first, and sort out and review the documents and files sent from various places. Hurry up.

Slowly familiarize yourself with the affairs of the Yamen. Later, depending on the progress, we will arrange for you to follow up on some specific events. What do you think?"

Zhu Zian cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, you have considered everything carefully. I, the subordinate, should obey the arrangements."

Li Qingyang said: "Zian, you are my deputy in this yamen, not a subordinate. From now on, you should not be 'subordinated' one by one."

The official position indicated on Zhu Zian's appointment letter is "Deputy Director of the Special Liaison Office of the Donghai Region", which is indeed only half a level lower than that of Li Qingyang. Of course, in terms of Li Qingyang's qualifications and ability, he is a good match for this position, but

He is experienced and retiring soon, so he will definitely not emphasize this point.

Since the higher-ups have decided to appoint Zhu Zian, a special figure, Li Qingyang's job is to try his best to cooperate with the above-mentioned arrangements so that this appointment can have maximum effect, instead of using his own qualifications to suppress newcomers.

Zhu Zian quickly agreed, thinking that this flattery was on the horse's lap. But he immediately thought that Li Qingyang had been working for Haihan for more than 20 years, and he was far more familiar with this official environment than he was. Trying to be careful in front of him is like playing tricks, and it will be easy to see through the trick.

The conversation between the two quickly came to an end, and Li Qingyang called Zhou Shaoyuan over and asked him to take Zhu Zian to settle down.

Zhou Shaoyuan led Zhu Zian to another wing room in the courtyard. Although this room was not large, it was neatly tidied up. Bookshelves, desks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones were all available. There were even some books on the desk. There is a celadon tea set.

"Master Zhu, this is your office." Zhou Shaoyuan introduced: "If you need anything else, I'll give you your orders."

Zhu Zian sat behind the desk and realized that the window was bright and clear. Outside the door was the courtyard patio, and the flower beds were being renovated. He thought that he would be able to see a seductive view when he looked up from there. Such conditions were actually not much worse than the study room in the palace.

Zhu Zian lightly tapped the desk with his knuckles and said, "Then what should I do now?"

Zhou Shaoyuan said: "Sir, do you want to start handling official business immediately? Then I will go get the files."

Zhou Shaoyuan walked to the door, turned around and asked, "Sir, would you like to see the newly delivered Haihan Times?"

Zhu Zian nodded and said, "Okay, could you please bring them together."

Before Zhu Zian went on an overseas mission, he had read several issues of the Times, and he still had fresh memories of this publicity method.

The Ming Dynasty also had a similar form of Di Bao, but Di Bao's role was more to transmit news at the government level. The channels and content were strictly restricted, which was very different from the propaganda-oriented function of the Times. And now that it has When you are in Haihan, you naturally have to pay attention to various events that happen in Haihan. Reading newspapers is probably the most convenient channel to fully understand all kinds of information.

After waiting for a short time, Zhou Shaoyuan returned, followed by two handymen. One was holding a stack of files, the other was holding a pot of green plants, and Zhou Shaoyuan was holding a hot water bottle in his hand.

Zhou Shaoyuan directed the two of them to put things away, and then made Zhu Zian a pot of tea with hot water.

When Zhu Zian saw this, he naturally wanted to be polite, but Zhou Shaoyuan didn't take it seriously and said: "It's just a small matter, sir, you don't need to worry about it. In about two days, you will be assigned a secretary. By then, these people will serve tea and water, and pick up and deliver documents." For such matters, your Excellency can just leave it to the secretary. By the way, there is also an official seal, which will probably be ready and sent over tomorrow. If Your Excellency wants to review documents today, just use your signature for the time being."

Although Zhu Zian also completed a lot of paperwork during his time in the mission, he did not use the seal. When Zhou Shaoyuan mentioned this detail, he suddenly realized that he was really working as an official. He was just working as a clerk in the mission. At that time, I was mostly responsible for making written records of various affairs of the mission, but there was no work that required me to make my own decisions. Now that the deputy director has to sign and seal everything he has to handle, the sense of responsibility is very different.

Zhu Zian thanked Zhou Shaoyuan, and after he left, he began to examine the things he sent.
