Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 180 The beginning of everything is difficult
Chapter 181 The beginning of everything is difficult
"Okay, let's go here first today, let's all go back and prepare, the meeting is over!"

The concept of three cities and three capitals, and the structure of the six official positions have greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Cao Chong is going to let everyone go back to digest and digest, and the specific work will be arranged tomorrow.

"There is still a shortage of people!" Cao Chong sighed thoughtfully when everyone left.

After sighing, he also left in a hurry. There are still important things to do today.

"How dare you not attend the first plenary meeting! Can you rebel? You have to educate yourself well..."

The most important thing for Cao Chong is to go back and educate the Minister of the Household Department he just appointed!
It's a pity that things don't go according to people's wishes!
As soon as he met Wenjiao, he said that he refused to accept the official position of Minister of the Household Department.

"You can't be so angry all the time! I was excited..."

"I'm not angry with you!" Wen Jiao glared at Cao Chong to stop him from continuing.

"Even if I am willing to serve as Minister of the Household Department, do you think there will be talented people who will serve as my subordinates? What's the use of me being a poor minister?"

So I was worried about this!

Cao Chong frowned, this is indeed a trouble!I can appoint Wen Jiao as a minister, but it is difficult to equip her with qualified subordinates. In this day and age, no one is willing to serve a woman as a subordinate to a talented man in the officialdom.

In the feudal era, it seemed that only Wu Zetian could make men serve as officials under women.

But even in the era of Wu Zetian, when feminism was the most prosperous, women could only be internal officials if they wanted to be officials, and all the officials in her three provinces and six ministries were men. Kill people!
"The Six Departments are the imperial court's official office after all. They are recruiting officials of the imperial court, not your servants. Don't be arrogant! I'll be your secretary!" Wen Jiao sighed and said helplessly.

"No! I can't give the financial power to others, and besides, there is no suitable candidate right now." Cao Chong still didn't give up.

"There are a few people in the school office who are hated by everyone because of their backgrounds. Now give them a chance and let them listen to you."

Cao Chong has so many businesses and stores in Xudu and across the country, and there is a huge demand for various talents, so he has been asking the school office to gather various types of useful talents across the country.

However, the school affairs office inadvertently discovered a few special people, because their parents or grandparents were Dong Zhuo's henchmen.

Cao Chong was curious about how these people escaped. When the school government found them, they were still hiding in Tibet, and some of them were starving to death.

Even though Dong Zhuo has been dead for nearly 20 years, the hatred of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty is still endless!The same goes for his henchmen.

However, Cao Chong didn't have any prejudice against these people, it was just that his parents and grandparents had mixed with Dong Zhuo in the past. When Dong Zhuo was in power, there were many people who mixed with him, both actively and forcedly.Except for a few heinous people, many of those who were purged in the end were just victims of political struggles, as evidenced by Cai Wenji's father Cai Yong.

Moreover, Cao Chong is currently short of people. These people have survived until now, and they still have some skills.

Others don't want to be officials under women. These guys are called by everyone to beat them. In order to make a living, they probably don't care too much, so they just throw them to Wenjiao.

"Okay, let's talk about the specifics. The money transferred from Xu Du is all my hard-earned savings..." Cao Chong didn't give Wen Jiao a chance to continue to evade.

The next day, Cao Chong continued to convene everyone for a meeting. Yesterday he just gave a rough idea, and didn't arrange any specific matters!

Wen Jiao attended this time, although she was very reluctant.

"Young master, the construction of the new Luoyang city will not start until autumn, and we are still preparing for the autumn harvest..."

"Queen of Autumn?" Cao Chong was not happy when he heard it.

"There is still more than a month left for the autumn harvest! What are you going to do now?" Cao Chong asked puzzled.

"Young master, although it is important to build a new city, you are the Luoyang order now, so you have to take local governance into consideration..."

"Get to the point!" Cao Chong was a little unhappy to see Pang Tong hesitating.

"We are short of people!"

After Pang Tong finished speaking, everyone looked at Cao Chong together!

"Why are you all staring at me? The original officials and servants of the county government are either the pawns arranged by the gentry, or the bullies in the fish and meat village. Don't let them go, and keep them for the New Year? Besides, didn't you keep a lot of people for you? "

"They all ran away!"

"Ran?"

"Hmm! There were still a few left, but yesterday you announced the reform of the six ministries and they all ran away. Now the county government and the six ministries are just empty shells!"

"Young master, don't think that after killing the head of the Sima family, they will have no influence in the local area. If it is so simple, Emperor Guangwu wiped out the gentry back then. How could they rule the world together with the gentry?" Pang Tong said helplessly. Explained to Cao Chong.

"Just recruit if there is no one. Seeking talent makes Lao Cao use it, but I can't use it? No matter how high or low your background is, recruit with a high salary!"

Cao Chong continued: "Don't just look at a small area here in Luoyang, the school affairs office has spread the order of seeking talents for me in the places where they are active. At the same time, tell those who make trouble, young master, I will be punished at most if I make a mistake. Their heads are gone and they can't be put back!"

"Okay! Let me see who dares to feel uncomfortable in front of the school affairs office!" Cao Yan agreed loudly.

"Also, tell those officials and yamen servants to get back to work. If they don't arrive tomorrow, the whole family will be dispatched to the army. The front lines in Hefei and Nanjun are fighting fiercely! Cao Tai will handle this matter, and he will really be bullied like a young master. !"

There are only a few polished commanders left in the county government and the Sixth Department, and there is no way to arrange specific matters.

After Cao Chong went back, he wrote a letter to Zhou Buyi and said in his heart: "Fortunately, the young master was prepared, or this time I really caught the blind!"

While Cao Chong's various businesses and shops spread across the country, he never stopped recruiting talents of all kinds. Gold, silver and treasures were still very attractive to those scholars who came from poor families and had no connections.

Although the people Cao Chong recruited didn't have great talents, they were more than enough to serve as subordinate officials in the sixth department of the county government. If they were trained well, it might not be possible to get a big official from the frontier.

The start of construction of the new city was still postponed until after autumn. There was no other way. This would require the recruitment of civilian husbands. Neither the court nor the local government would agree until the end of the autumn harvest.

But after Cao Chong lost his temper, other things quickly improved.

The officials and yamen servants of the county government all came back to work honestly, and the personnel transferred from various places were in place one by one, and the order of seeking talents also attracted many people. Got a few.

The Sixth Department of the Luoyang County Government can finally operate normally.

Most importantly, Diao Chan and Zhen Ji have come to Luoyang!I have endured for more than a month, really hard work!
