"Your Highness, I will hear from Your Majesty that you are unhappy to work with someone!"

"Ha, Uncle Cheng, what are you kidding? Why would I not be happy to work with you? Look, how happy I am now? As the saying goes, you must not believe rumors easily!"

"That's good. I'm not those civil servants who only know how to fart... Don't glare at me, old house, it's not like you... I'm a man, I've always believed in fists to solve everything. If your Highness has any opinions about me, we..."

"No objection, absolutely no objection! How could I have any objection? You are really good at joking, haha..."

"That's good... But when it comes to this Minister of Commerce, it's not a boastful person. Apart from someone, there is really no one who can do it in the civil and military affairs of the court... When it comes to doing business, a certain family is called second, and no one dares to be the first!"

"Yes, yes, I heard from my father! I really didn't expect that Uncle Cheng, you are actually a god-hidden person. In addition to being brave and invincible on the battlefield, you are so powerful in doing business! Cheng Qian really admires you, admires you!"

"Hahaha... It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Some family is still not as good as His Royal Highness, and they can do business. When the sand is burned, it will turn into a crystal worth tens of millions of dollars in a blink of an eye! Some family really didn't expect that the cost of spending tens of thousands of dollars to pay the glass windows for the mansion was less than a hundred dollars!"

In the newly established headquarters hall of the Ministry of Commerce, Li Chengqian, the new Minister of Commerce and Cheng Zhijie, the Minister of Commerce, sat on both sides and praised each other. This made Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji, who were busy and dizzy, rolled their eyes constantly!

That’s right, as the seventh department under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province, the first Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce was Cheng Zhijie!

This was a result that no one expected. After learning the news, Li Chengqian made a special trip to His Majesty Li Er to protest, but His Majesty Li Er's explanation left him with nothing to say!

As a brand new department, the Ministry of Commerce is responsible for collecting and collecting commercial taxes. Although the people of the aristocratic family agreed to the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce due to His Majesty Li Er’s tough measures, the interests involved are too complex and huge!

Therefore, it is a big problem to choose the head of this department.

Of course, people from the aristocratic family hope to push their people to this position, but can His Majesty Li Er agree? Of course, His Majesty Li Er also hopes that his confidant will take charge of this department, but people from the aristocratic family must not be happy!

Therefore, the best way is to choose someone who is related to the aristocratic family and is also His Majesty Li Er's confidant to serve as the head of this department! Cheng Zhijie is such a person who is impossible to exist as usual!

It is said that he has a relationship with the aristocratic family because his current wife is the daughter of Cui clan of Qinghe, and she is also the legitimate daughter of Cui clan! You must know that even if the emperor Li Er, the emperor, wanted to marry the daughter of the aristocratic family for his son, the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, ignored it, but Cheng Zhijie was able to marry the daughter of Cui clan, and it was Xu Xian!

Let’s talk about him and His Majesty Li Er... There is no need to say more. Who doesn’t know that Cheng Zhijie and His Majesty Li Er are “colluding”, “smelling with each other”, “passionate”, and “passionate”…

In addition to Cheng Zhijie's special identity, another important factor in his becoming the Minister of Commerce is that he is good at doing business... To be precise, he seems vulgar, but his mind is more clear and clear than those like Changsun Wuji who are called "foxes"! Therefore, no matter what he does, it will not be bad!

Based on these factors, Cheng Zhijie, the military general, was appointed by His Majesty Li Er as the Minister of Commerce of the Tang Empire!

...

The establishment of a new department, especially a new department at the national level, cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.

Although His Majesty Li Er had already started preparations, and when Li Chengqian proposed to establish the Ministry of Commerce, he also described the organizational structure, work functions, operation methods of the entire Ministry of Commerce in detail, after the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, except Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji, the three of them were busy with food, and even the whole court was so busy that they could not touch the ground... There was no way, when Li Chengqian proposed to establish the Ministry of Commerce, they all said according to the standards of later generations. Many things were not applicable in the Tang Dynasty, so everyone "crossed the river by feeling the stones", and things that changed every day happened from time to time!

However, the busy and tired civil and military officials in the court seemed to have nothing to do with Li Chengqian... Of course, it was not really okay, it was just him...

"Your Highness, do you see if this is possible?"

"Don't ask me, go find Shangshu Cheng!"

"Your Highness, this rule seems to be inappropriate..."

"I don't understand if I look for a house prince and discuss it with Du Xiang!"

"Your Highness, do you think this document can be sent like this?"

"You just need to discuss and decide. If you don't interfere, you have no objection!"

"Your Highness..."

"Discuss with the uncle..."

"Your Highness..."

"try to find……"

Well, it is obvious that our Prince's Highness is not ready to participate in this matter at all. He comes to the Ministry of Commerce to "work" all day long, just to do it, go to the lobby, make a pot of tea, and then... there is nothing left. He sits until the sun sets, and then leaves and returns to the East Palace, directly ignoring the "resentful" eyes of the officials!

However, as the saying goes, things will turn back when extremes are extremes. Li Chengqian "occupies the pit and does not shit"... No, it should be that the "corpse-positioning and food" action finally aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials, including his uncle, especially Cheng Zhijie, the Minister of Commerce of Li Chengqian, who was Li Chengqian's immediate boss, went directly to His Majesty Li Er to file a lawsuit!

result……

"Uncle, you are my real uncle. You can solve this problem yourself, right? Why bother me?"

"Uncle Fang, the question I wrote was already very detailed in the proposal to establish a business department. As long as it is implemented according to the rules, why do I need to write a new copy?"

"Uncle Du, I can't count the amount of commercial taxes as long as I say, right? You are the prime minister, this should be something you discussed with your father!"

"Uncle Cheng, it's okay, let's go there for a sleep? Is it necessary to take care of whether the Ministry of Commerce needs to recruit officials?"

...

In short, Li Chengqian wanted to be lazy but failed to steal it. After nearly two months of busy work, the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce were initially on track, and occasionally some problems did not require him to be busy.

Not to mention, after these two months of "forging (breaking) and refining (milling)", Li Chengqian finally understood the entire set of administrative procedures of the Tang Dynasty. In the past, he only knew the general functions of the three provinces and six ministries, and he had no idea how to operate if he wanted to promulgate a new policy!

At the same time, due to the "working day and night", Li Chengqian was sadly discovering that the "fat" he had finally raised in Zongzheng Temple left him again! This made him very unhappy, especially whenever he saw Li Tai's increasingly round body, he couldn't help but go up and "care" a few times!
