Chapter 343 The newly appointed minister of household
In the capital, the news that some people in various prefectures and counties were preparing to become independent has reached Mo Zizai, but Mo Zizai has no time to pay attention to them now.
The chopping of wood is not a problem with sharpening the knife. Chen Qisheng has brought 6,000 Red Blood Dragon Casting back to the capital, so Mo Zizai is preparing to give the Red Blood Dragon Casting to the Yuzhi Army equipment to see if a heavy cavalry legion could be built.
Chen Qisheng, who had returned from a long life, had no rest at all. He came to the palace to meet Mo Zizai as soon as possible.
"Prince."
Chen Qisheng bowed and said, "Shen has not humiliated his mission and brought back six thousand red blood dragon captains."
"good."
Although Mo Zizai had already received the news, after obtaining verification from Chen Qisheng's mouth, Mo Zizai's spirit was still a little excited. If the accelerator could really be used against the Red Blood Dragon Test, then this heavy cavalry legion would be invincible in the world.
However, Mo Zizai was not in a hurry to verify whether the accelerator could be used for the Red Blood Dragon Test. Instead, he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, I won't remember this credit for you."
"Um?"
Chen Qisheng was slightly stunned. Although he didn't plan to ask for credit, he took the risk of getting these red blood dragon tests from the grassland. What did Mo Zizai mean? Could it be that he did something wrong?
Before Chen Qisheng could figure it out, he heard Mo Zizai say, "The Minister of Revenue is now just vacant, I wonder if you are willing to try it?"
"ah?"
If Chen Qisheng was just a little confused just now, then he was completely confused. After hearing Mo Zizai's words, his whole mind was blank.
What is the official position of the Minister of Revenue? It is in charge of the finances of the Great Zhou Dynasty and is one of the small positions at the center of the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is below the two of them, but if it is ranked by power, the power of the Minister of Revenue will definitely be in the top five in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And what is he? A businessman, to put it bluntly, is just a broken scholar with a bit of bad money. His identity is definitely a very different one than the Minister of Revenue.
To be honest, when Song Hui was able to become a Yuanwailang, he had thought about whether Mo Zizai would give him some official position, but he did not dare to dream like this when he dreamed during the day.
“Eh?”
Mo Zizai looked at Chen Qisheng who was standing there without saying anything, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Why, Manager Chen is unwilling?"
"I'm willing, I'm willing..."
Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Chen Qisheng subconsciously agreed, but as soon as he said he was willing, he regained his rationality. What an official position of Minister of Revenue is? He is just a merchant, how could he take such a position?
Therefore, he smiled bitterly and refused, "Prince, Chen is just a merchant. The position of Minister of Revenue, the grass-roots may not be able to do it."
"fine."
Listening to Chen Qisheng's somewhat unconfident words, Mo Zizai smiled. The span from the merchant to the Minister of Revenue was too much. It was normal for Chen Qisheng to be a little worried, but he was not worried, so he comforted Chen Qisheng and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, don't worry too much. After becoming the Minister of Revenue, you don't have to care about anything else. Just be responsible for getting money for this king."
"As the head of Qisheng Money House, making money should not be difficult for you, right?"
“It’s not difficult.”
Chen Qisheng nodded. He was still confident in doing business. Even if he became the Minister of Revenue and could not make money through ordinary business means, he had a way to enrich the treasury.
What made him worry was whether he, a businessman, would become the Minister of Revenue in one step, would it arouse hostility and exclusion from other officials?
Those who sit in the center of power are all big shots. If they stumbling on themselves, they may not be able to do anything even if they have great ability.
So he asked Mo Zizai hesitantly: "That... Prince, my identity span is a bit too large. Will it cause dissatisfaction among others?"
"Others? Are you talking about other officials?"
Mo Zizai heard Chen Qisheng say about the others, and was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, and chuckled and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely not have any objections."
Everyone in the court was almost killed by themselves. Not to mention a merchant was arranged to be the Minister of Revenue, even if they were to release a pig, they would not dare to say a word.
"Definitely not?"
Chen Qisheng was anxious when he rushed back, so he didn't know that Mo Zizai had killed more than half of the ministers in the court. Therefore, when he heard Mo Zizai say so affirmatively that those ministers would not have any objections, he was slightly confused, not knowing why Mo Zizai was so affirmative.
However, he didn't ask much. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and decided to agree, "Thank you with the prince's kindness, Caomin is willing to be the Minister of Revenue."
"It's just that the grass-crown people have no experience as an official. If there is something wrong with doing, I hope the prince can forgive me."
After all, many people will never encounter this opportunity to reach the sky once in their lifetime. If he missed this opportunity, he would definitely regret it for life.
Moreover, his always-knowing goal was to make Qisheng bloom all over the world. If he could become the Minister of Revenue, it would be much easier to promote Qisheng.
"It's okay, no one has ever been sitting up before. Let's learn it bit by bit. I'm not in a hurry."
Mo Zizai shrugged indifferently. This time he killed too hard. The Ministry of Revenue was almost empty and he could not find anyone to be the Minister of Revenue. So Mo Zizai, who originally wanted Chen Qisheng to temper his skills before becoming the Minister of Revenue, had to change his mind and now promote him to the Minister of Revenue.
After all, no matter how bad Chen Qisheng is, he will never be better than no one who is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Thank you, the prince!"
Chen Qisheng gave a gift. He had already given the vaccine anyway. If there was something that could not be done at that time, at most, he would resign and refuse to do it.
"Okay, let's not say much. Let's go and see the red blood dragon tests you brought back first."
Mo Zizai waved his hand and said, "As for the Ministry of Revenue, you will go to work after you have a rest. If there is anything you don't know about in the early stage, you can go to Yang Weishang and Yang Ge Lao."
"?"
Chen Qisheng couldn't help but have a big question mark again. Yang Ge Lao knew that the Minister of Personnel was a very powerful person.
But it seems that the one he wants to take office is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? What does his affairs in the Ministry of Revenue have to do with the Ministry of Personnel? Why do you have to ask the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel? Are the people in the Ministry of Revenue dead?
Chen Qisheng was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask too much. After all, he had never been in the officialdom. What if this was the unspoken rule of the officialdom?
In short, this Minister of Revenue was given by Mo Zizai. He could do whatever he said. He relied on Mo Zizai now, so it was absolutely right to listen to Mo Zizai.
As for the matter of such a big thing as the Minister of Revenue, Mo Zizai decided whether it would be unreliable in just a few words. Chen Qisheng never thought about this, because he knew that Mo Zizai had the right to make the decision in this matter.
After all, if your wife is the emperor, you can speak so arrogantly.
