Chapter 1240: Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus (2)
There is no project to develop projects, no project to establish projects, no funds to find funds.
As long as you are willing to do something and think about it, there is nothing impossible in this world!
Focusing on the future, Eunuch Wei must unite every brother unit, and never let any brother unit wander outside the maritime cause, nor will any brother unit not enjoy the benefits of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, nor will any brother unit be dissatisfied with Eunuch Wei.
Since ancient times, only unity can bring strength!
One hundred thousand wooden barrels are the unity bonus that Eunuch Wei gave to Huntangsi. Although wooden barrels are divided into large, medium and small sizes and various uses, a wooden barrel can cost dozens of yuan at most, and this amount is at most several thousand taels.
However, the money was not unfair. Which one does not need to be purchased by the Imperial Army of tens of thousands of people, the guys who eat, the buckets for washing their faces, the basins for washing their feet, the buckets for soldiers, and the big buckets for bathing?
Just as royal toilet paper was used throughout the army, buying wooden barrels was also an indispensable part of the new life movement.
A civilized and powerful teacher, can the basin for washing faces and the basin for washing butts be mixed?
So, you have to buy it.
In this way, it would be better to pack it up for the merchants to negotiate with each other. It doesn’t matter if the expenses are high, but the important thing is that this brother unit will be firmly integrated with the Imperial Army in the future and always be in the same mind as him, Eunuch Wei.
In addition to the sewer paving and maintenance projects in the Shanghai Special Economic Zone, the department-level unit of the Huntang Department will be very rich in the future. If it develops well, it will be transformed into the Royal Construction Development Corporation.
Of course, due to the tight time, Eunuch Wei can only reach a cooperation framework with Huntangsi. For specific cooperation matters, special personnel must be responsible for the implementation.
The next brother unit to visit is the Bell and Drums.
Compared with Huntangsi, this unit is higher, at least a deputy department-level unit.
Because the primary responsibility of this unit is to be responsible for the bells and drums of court, this thing is like the news broadcasts in later generations. Once the music sounds, it will talk about state affairs.
But just being responsible for beating the drums is definitely not enough for the deputy department unit. The fundamental reason why Eunuch Wei looked at them was that this unit was the Central Song and Dance Troupe of the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, the bell and drums are responsible for any entertainment matters such as music, dance, acting, and juggling that are needed in the palace. Their person in charge can often meet the emperor, the queen mother and the concubines of each palace. If you don’t fight for anything else, just fight for this, and a deputy department level will definitely not be wrong.
How to cooperate with the Bell and Drum Service and how to give full play to their strengths to contribute to the construction of the Imperial Army?
Eunuch Wei thought on the road that the bells and drums are definitely not needed, but the Imperial Army soldiers need them in terms of entertainment.
The existence of a battlefield singing and dancing troupe can undoubtedly boost the morale of the army and inject fresh agent into the boring life of the soldiers.
However, Eunuch Wei also thought about it. The Bell and Drums Department also has an external liaison unit, which is the Jiaofang Department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. Sometimes, the palace maids are not trained in training, but are outsourced to the Jiaofang Department, and the girls of the Jiaofang Department perform.
The source of the girls in Jiaofangsi is quite complicated. At the beginning of the country, they were all criminals and captured girls. However, after a long period of peace, there were fewer sources in this regard. However, the responsibilities of Jiaofangsi are still there, so gradually prostitutes have become the main source of employees of Jiaofangsi. At present, Jiaofangsi is no longer a place to be despised, but it is a very popular unit.
For example, the famous prostitutes of Nandu, Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujun, and Chen Yuanyuan, all took the initiative to spend a lot of money to settle in the Jiaofang of the Nandu Ministry of Rites. At present, the famous scholars of the Jingdao Qingliu also particularly like the singing girls of the Jiaofang, which made the status of the singing girls of the Jiaofang become higher and higher.
This also shows a more ancient truth. The more peaceful the times, the more popular the entertainment industry will be, and the higher the status of the industry personnel will be.
Fortunately, the Jiaofangsi is just an external unit of the Bell and Drumsi. If it were one, the cooperation would probably be difficult to negotiate. However, at least the unit level, the main hall must be mentioned, and the people themselves are quite rich, so they may not be willing to cooperate with Eunuch Wei.
After thinking about it, the most suitable one for the Bell and Drum Office is the labor condolence group.
When we arrived at the local area, the yamen was having supper. Similarly, Eunuch Wei was very arrogant and called the Shaojian, who was in charge of the affairs, and he would like to say his future intentions in a few words.
"Did your father-in-law ask our bell and drums to organize an Imperial Army Song and Dance Troupe?... Is this song and dance troupe?" Tan Shaojian, the bell and drums, didn't understand the meaning of singing and dancing very much.
Eunuch Wei briefly said the meaning of the singing and dancing troupe, and roughly asked the bell and drums to send personnel to form a 300-person performance troupe, which can be performed, dance, and juggle, and there is no limit on male and female team members.
"After this singing and dancing troupe was established, we went to Jiangnan with our family. From now on, they will go wherever the Imperial Army will go. The personnel will rotate regularly..."
Eunuch Wei did not ask whether Mr. Tan would like to ask whether Mr. Tan would like to agree or not, so he mentioned the specific matters of the singing and dancing troupe, including treatment. Of course, like the military battle situation and the Miantang Office, Eunuch Wei generously took out six military eunuchs to Mr. Tan, and gave the same bonus of 10,000 taels per year.
Shaojian Tan hesitated: "We can't make decisions about such a big deal, we have to ask Eunuch Jin."
Eunuch Wei was so happy. Unexpectedly, Jin Zhong was in charge of the Bell and Drums. At this moment, Eunuch Jin had no problem with his plan. What are the problems with your Young Master Tan?
"If the emperor and Eunuch Jin agree, our bell and drums can organize this song and dance troupe, but if you go to Jiangnan..." Tan Shaojian raised the issue of heterodyne costs.
What question can Eunuch Wei ask when he is the other party? It is still a matter of reimbursement for business trips. Money is not a problem. He immediately reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Shaojian Tan. He will arrange for people to come here in the next two days to implement the specific content.
After leaving the bell and drums, it was already dark and Eunuch Wei was hungry. But I thought that all four departments had decided on three, so I just implemented the last one. After thinking about it, I went to Xixinsi.
The unit of Xixinsi is responsible for the firewood and charcoal in the palace. It is called Xixinsi, which means cherishing firewood and charcoal and saving money.
But don't underestimate this unit. In terms of its importance, this unit is probably second only to the Jinyiwei.
Don’t say that firewood and charcoal are small, but they are essential materials in the palace. People who cherish the firewood and charcoal have to help the firewood and charcoal in the palace every day, so they have a privilege of doing things cheaply, that is, the servant signs that the charcoal in the sect have licensed to enter.
Anyone who holds this brand will be unobstructed in the Great Wall.
During the Jingtai period, Xu Youzhen, Zhu Qizhen and others successfully entered the imperial city and arrived directly to Donghua Gate after holding the sign of Xixinsi.
