Chapter 732: The Beginning of the Officials Department (2)(1/2)
Li Mengxi had a good sleep. When he woke up, he walked out of the house and looked into the yard. The rain was still pouring down.
Li Mengxi looked up for a while. He wanted to go out because he was afraid of getting caught in the rain.
Just as he was hesitating, the soldier next to him came over, smiled and handed Li Mengxi a coir raincoat.
Li Mengxi took the coir rain hat, hesitated for a moment and put it on him. Li Mengxi didn't like the coir raincoat very much. The last time he put on the coir raincoat, insects crawled on him.
The coir rain hat was a bit heavy and not very effective in keeping out the rain, so Li Mengxi thought of an umbrella. If he wanted to make an umbrella, papermaking technology had matured and he could make tough paper. Once he had the paper, he could coat it with tung oil. It would be beautiful and elegant.
Oil paper umbrella, this is it.
Li Mengxi was thinking while walking in the rain wearing a raincoat. He didn't know if there was any umbrella-making technology in the late Han Dynasty. It is said that there was. Umbrellas should have been invented by Lu Ban. Paper was expensive in the Han Dynasty, but cloth could be used to make umbrellas. But
, why have I not seen anyone using an umbrella in the late Han Dynasty for so long?
After thinking about it, Li Mengxi arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
In the city lord's palace, Liu Bei was having a lively conversation with the Zhuozhou scholars. Li Mengxi came to see that there was no room left. Li Mengxi stood outside the door and stayed for a while.
When Liu Bei saw Li Mengxi, he immediately stood up with a smile and asked, "Xi'er, are there any fish? Let's fry some fish for dinner tonight."
Li Mengxi looked at Liu Bei and everyone in the room. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to get the fish.
Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to accompany the people in Zhuozhou to continue chatting, and Liu Bei chased Li Mengxi out.
Li Mengxi turned around and saw Liu Bei following him out. He thought Liu Bei was helping to get the fish, but after leaving the city lord's palace, Liu Bei stopped him on the way to get the fish.
Li Mengxi was confused and looked up at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Xi'er, please do something, okay?"
Li Mengxi became even more confused, "If you have anything to say, just say it. No need to say please."
Liu Bei chuckled, compiled his words, looked around secretly, and saw no one, then he whispered, "It concerns Jian, Yong, Jian Xianhe, Xi'er, although this time it is the imperial examination, even though it is Zhuozhou
The knowledge of this group of people is not as good as others, but...but after all, Jian Yong is...this..."
Liu Bei didn't know what to say, he couldn't speak, and he hesitated, which made Li Mengxi want to laugh.
Li Mengxi smiled and said, "Mr. Xuande wants to say that after all, Jian Yong is your old friend and our friendship is very close. So, is it true that you want someone to give him an official position?"
Being told what he was thinking, Liu Bei wiped the rainwater from his face and smiled awkwardly.
Li Mengxi said sternly, "Mr. Xuande, please don't think that appointing an official to Jian Yong is nepotism.
The appointment of officials should be based on fairness, and fairness does not mean nepotism, but it does not mean nepotism. Jian Yong, Jian Xian and this time raised food and grass for the army and solved the danger of our army's survival. This great contribution deserves heavy reward and promotion."
Li Mengxi's words suddenly enlightened Liu Bei, and his heart suddenly became brighter.
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Li Mengxi and asked, "Then... how big an official position is Xi'er going to give Xianhe?"
Li Mengxi thought for a while, raised his head and was about to answer, and then met Liu Bei's expectant eyes. Li Mengxi smiled, "I don't want to say how big the official position will be."
Seeing Liu Bei's confusion, Li Mengxi changed his tone and said with a smile, "After the imperial examination, thirteen ministries have been established, and among them are the Ministry of Personnel for promotion. Isn't the promotion of officials the official envoys? Isn't that the right question?
Officials?"
Liu Bei was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.
Liu Bei nodded and said with a smile, "That's how it should be!"
The matter was settled, and Liu Bei let go of his worries.
Li Mengxi was about to turn around and continue to get the fish when Liu Bei stopped him and said, "I'm going to get the fish. Xi'er, you go to the Ministry of Personnel and have a look."
Li Mengxi had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Personnel first.
Braving the rain, when he arrived at Junzi Camp, Li Mengxi looked at the messy tents and was confused. At this time, he realized a problem - the lack of flags.
After the hundreds of scholars in Junziying were selected as officials, they were no longer just ordinary scholars, but began to manage politics. Since they began to manage politics, they became important personnel, with whom they had many daily interactions.
Negotiations must begin.
In the army, there are more people in the army, and the carriages and horses are more cluttered. It is more difficult to find people. Maybe a grain truck is blocking it, and you can't find Liu Bei for a long time. The way to solve the problem of communication in the army is to use flags and order flag bearers.
Carrying the handsome flag, he followed Liu Bei all the time. Wherever Liu Bei went, the flag would follow him. In this way, if he wanted to find someone, he could look up and find him directly.
Li Mengxi stood dazedly in the rain for a while. After a while, the people hiding in the tent ran out with their heads shrunk and asked Li Mengxi if he was looking for someone.
Li Mengxi looked at everyone, opened his mouth, and asked, "Do you know where the officials are?"
Fortunately, I asked the official department. If you ask other departments, others may not know where he is. The official department has Qin Shu, and Qin Shu is the person at the top of the list. Qin Shu attracted too much attention alone, and Qin Shu became a celebrity in the gentleman camp.
Now, due to the celebrity sensation, Qin Shu's whereabouts have long been traced.
Under the guidance of others, Li Mengxi arrived at the official headquarters.
When they arrived at a tent, the person leading the way said that Qin Shu was inside.
Li Mengxi walked to the tent. He heard a noisy sound inside. He opened the curtain and got into the tent. When he went in, Li Mengxi saw that in the tent, a group of people had surrounded the beds and were sitting in a circle with casual appearance.
What was being discussed passionately.
As soon as they came in, everyone stopped their discussion and looked over instantly.
Li Mengxi smiled and said, "Ah! The conversation was lively, and someone disturbed you."
When everyone saw Li Mengxi coming, they quickly stood up and asked Li Mengxi to come over.
Among the group of people, Li Mengxi didn't know many of them, but Qin Shu looked familiar, so he casually walked over to Qin Shu.
After sitting down, Li Mengxi saw a circle of people sitting there, with pens in their hands and large papers in front of their knees. Only those who have paper in their hands... Li Mengxi glanced at the crowd and said in surprise, "You... all of you...
They are the top scholars, are you here together?"
Everyone laughed and said, "Following the military advisor's orders, we are brainstorming and working together, and we are starting to organize the personnel department."
Li Mengxi suddenly showed a bright smile, "Okay! It's really good!" He said two good words in a row.
Although, when I talked with the scholars after the banquet, I did tell them that from the day they were appointed officials, they became officials and they could no longer be casual.
But these words were just a few words of encouragement. Li Mengxi didn't really want the scholars to be busy from nine to five. If they were really busy, there wouldn't be that much work.
However, there are actually people who start working officially right after the banquet. Such enthusiasm for work and such attitude are touching.
With a smile on his face, Qin Shu held up a large piece of paper filled with writing. Li Mengxi took the paper and glanced at it. When he saw the contents of the paper clearly, he looked at Qin Shu in surprise.
"How long has it been since you guys discussed such a big thing? I'm really surprised!"
The officials all laughed.
Qin Shu handed over two more large pieces of paper.
Li Mengxi took it and took a look. It turned out that it was not only filled with a piece of paper as big as a newspaper, but almost three pieces of paper.
Li Mengxi was extremely surprised. He looked at Qin Shu and all the officials with a proud and expectant look on his face. Li Mengxi nodded to everyone, feeling very happy, "Okay! Then let's take a look, your officials
Everyone has brainstormed, and how many things have they come up with!"
After saying that, Li Mengxi held the big paper in his hand and started reading.
A casual glance at the pile of things written by Qin Shu gave Li Mengxi a general impression. He felt that what Qin Shu wrote was very much like a meeting record. Qin Shu had written down what many people said, and there were more details later.
Follow the speaker's name.
After reading it roughly, I picked it up and read it carefully. From the upper right corner, down, Li Mengxi read word by word.
In the content written by Qin Shu, the first sentence at the beginning includes the sentence, "The official department lacks a tent, and there is no place to gather and talk." It is followed by a name, Zhao Mu.
In other words, the officials felt that they wanted a tent and a place to work.
Seeing this, Li Mengxi immediately realized his oversight. Indeed, after conferring official titles to officials, they must at least be given some tents, otherwise they would not even have a place to work.
When Li Mengxi thought about it again, the tents in Junzi Camp were in a mess, with people from various tribes gathered and scattered, and no one could be found.
After just reading the first sentence of what Qin Shu recorded, Li Mengxi already got very useful advice.
Further down, there is more useful content. Qin Shu wrote down, "If a person is promoted, he does not know how to ride" followed by, "Wang Shuisheng".
In other words, it was this person born in Wang Shui who thought of the fact that those who were promoted could not ride horses.
Then looking further down, it is the result of a lot of subsequent discussions and discussions inspired by this sentence.
Li Mengxi looked down carefully, and he saw the detailed and serious discussion context and the origin and origin of each architectural detail.
This gave Li Mengxi the feeling as if a logical reasoning diagram was unfolding in front of him.
From what Qin Shu recorded, Li Mengxi saw part of the preliminary structure discussed by Qin Shu and others.
Qin Shu and others listed the "Mobile Department" under the Ministry of Personnel. What a weird way of naming it. Damn it. When he saw the name of the "Mobile Department", Li Mengxi's face twitched. It was so unpleasant.
.
However, it is undeniable that although it sounds ugly and is slangy, the name is extremely straightforward. He is responsible for walking around and doing things.
Li Mengxi searched in his mind, and he felt that the moving department had the same meaning as administrative execution.
I thought about whether to replace the silly walking department with the name of the executive department, but after thinking about it, I might as well be more straightforward.
The word "move" has no shortcomings except that it sounds unpleasant.
Looking further down, Li Mengxi followed the structure and saw that after extensive discussions between his subordinates, Qin Shu and the others, they had discussed the various sub-organizations such as carriages and horses, guards, medical care, seal vouchers, placement, etc.
Among them, Li Mengxi noticed the word "medical care". He couldn't help but look at Qin Shu and a group of officials. It was also interesting. Qin Shu and his group coined the word "medical care".
