Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Reject it directly, or just ignore it."

"In that state, there are so many officials. Why do the governors have to sit down even if others make mistakes?"

"Besides, as a governor, it is impossible for him to cover everything and supervise the officials of a state."

"If this fallacy is followed, wouldn't all the common people and officials in the world blame His Majesty for their mistakes?!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped him, telling him not to talk nonsense.

His Majesty's crimes, how can a courtier speak nonsense?

Chapter 726 I am doomed to have a bad year

In the end, regarding Jia Chong's matter, Fang Xuanling still did not handle it as Li Qiu said.

Instead, he added his own opinions and good words of pleading for Jia Chong, and submitted them to the Imperial Study Room for His Majesty to handle in person.

When it's time to get off work every day.

Li Qiu always takes the lead.

But today Li Qiu was held back by Duan Lun from the Ministry of Industry.

Discussed a few normal business affairs.

By the time he got it done, the off-duty time had already been delayed by more than half an hour.

At this time, the lights in other departments and rooms of Shangshu Province had been turned off.

Only the Ministry of War is still brightly lit.

Guo Fushan, the minister of the Ministry of War, is still handling government affairs here.

Seeing this, Li Qiu also went in to have a look.

As soon as they saw Li Qiu coming in, Guo Fushan and others hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Li Xiang, you still haven't left at this time?"

Li Qiu smiled and nodded.

"I have some government affairs temporarily today, so it's a bit late."

"How come you are here so late?"

At this time, Guo Fushan hurriedly replied: "Mr. Li, there are a lot of backlogs in the military department here."

"Besides, my Tang Dynasty is still at war with the Western Regions from time to time."

"The Ministry of War here absolutely dare not relax."

Speaking of this, people around Guo Fushan in the Ministry of War also took the opportunity to speak well for Guo Fushan.

"You may not know, Li Xiang."

"Since Mr. Guo took up the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, he has been living here for several days."

"Almost day and night, busy with official duties."

What he said was, after all, somewhat exaggerated.

So before Li Qiu could say anything, Guo Fushan scolded him directly.

Chase him away.

"Li Xiang, the people below are talking nonsense, you must not take it seriously."

Li Qiu smiled and nodded, "I have noticed what you have done recently."

"But you also have to pay attention to your body, don't lose the big because of small things."

"Also, is there any difficulty on the side of the Ministry of War?"

"If there is, feel free to mention it to me."

Hearing this, Guo Fushan hurriedly said: "Li Xiang, after you shot Thunder last time."

"For the Ministry of War, both the smoothness of government orders and the efficiency of government affairs have improved a lot."

"No matter how hard and tired I am, I have no complaints."

"For Li Xiang, I can't repay you. I can only work as hard as possible to be worthy of your respect."

"But if we really want to talk about a problem with the Ministry of War, it is that there are not enough manpower."

"Now we are short of a minister, a servant."

"Many government affairs are handled, and it takes a long time."

"If you say I'm tired, I'm not afraid."

"I'm just worried that it will delay a lot of military affairs on the front line."

After hearing his words, Li Qiu nodded.

"Remember to remind me of this matter tomorrow, and I will go to the eldest grandson."

"Let him and Mr. Fang fill up the vacancy in the Ministry of War as soon as possible."

"Old Guo, the two of us are old acquaintances."

"You were promoted by Mr. Du himself."

"For you, whether it is character or ability, I am quite relieved."

"I will strongly recommend you to take up the post of Minister."

"But the Minister of the Ministry of War, do you have a suitable candidate here?"

Guo Fushan was naturally very grateful when he heard that Li Qiu was going to recommend him to be Minister of the Ministry of War.

Then he said very solemnly: "Guo Fushan is extremely grateful for the cultivation and promotion of my lord."

"It's just that my origin, qualifications, and background are all far behind."

"When Master Du promoted me to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, I don't know how much resistance I overcame."

"So regarding the post of Shangshu, Li Xiang, you must not worry too much."

……

Two days later, when Duke Wang Gui came back from his trip, he also saw the government order document that Wei Ting handed over to him from Li Qiu.

Immediately, Wang Gui personally found Li Qiu's side.

Tell him he's messing around, and tell him what's at stake.

But Li Qiu remained unmoved and insisted on doing this.

In desperation, Wang Gui had no choice but to personally send this government order document to the Imperial Study Room.

Going to play it by ear.

Once His Majesty angered Li Qiu because of this matter, he could also persuade Li Qiu to excuse him.

But when he entered the imperial study room, he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him.

I saw Li Shimin burying his head in dealing with government affairs there. On the table, there were piles of memorials and documents waiting to be processed.

Afterwards, Wang Gui stepped forward to salute, and then asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, usually at this time, government affairs are relatively easy."

"What are you doing here?"

At this time, Li Shimin also raised his head, patted the pile of memorials on the table, and sighed helplessly.

"Isn't this the new Shangshu Youpushe that our Tang Dynasty just took office?"

"I just went to Lishan Hot Spring for two days. When I came back, there were so many government affairs piled up on the table."

"Moreover, the most annoying thing is that the number of memorials I review every day can't keep up with the ones sent by him."

"Yesterday, I heard from Xuanling that Li Qiu is going to finish all the government affairs before the New Year's Eve."

"Then he can live a good year in peace."

"Hey, have you seen this pile of memorials?"

"I'm afraid I'm doomed not to have a good year."

Hearing this, Wang Gui looked at the pile of government orders and memorials in surprise.

It is also unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, are these all the government documents sent by the Minister of Shangshu, and you need to deal with them?"

"How come there are so many?"

Li Shimin then said: "Since Keming passed away, there has been no suitable person for the Shangshu Youpushe."

"Like the auxiliary machine, there are too many worries when dealing with things."

"Some things that he finds difficult and not urgent are often suppressed and not dealt with."

"Besides, it will be several months before he resigns from his post as Right Servant."

"Even if Xuanling is in charge concurrently, there is still more than enough energy."

"Over time, the accumulated government affairs will increase."

"Of course, it's not all there."

"About one-third of it is the censor and officials' memorabilia to Li Qiu."

"In a while, you just happen to help me, pick out all the memorials to Li Qiu and throw them away."

Chapter 727 Treating Governance as a Business

The biggest advantage of this kid, Li Qiu, is that his net worth is extremely clean. "

"No family, no background, no messy interests."

"In the past, no one played him."

"It's only since he did this right hand shot that it gradually increased."

"The memorials about him must all be about recent government affairs."

"So you only need to take a look at these government affairs, and it will be clear at a glance whether Li Qiu is right or wrong."

"If Li Qiu has, you don't need to read the playbook, you can deal with him."

"If there is no fault, these memorials are also false accusations."

"Don't bother."

Hearing this, Wang Gui also echoed and said: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true."

"Although Li Qiu has a reckless personality, he is really dedicated to the country and the people."

"No distractions."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to have such a good reputation among the people and the army."

"No matter how these courtiers and censors look down on him and are dissatisfied with him, the hearts of tens of thousands of people in my Tang Dynasty are clear."

"But this Li Qiu is too nonsense."

"Shangshu Youpushe, what an important position that is."

"How can he deal with government affairs indiscriminately like him?!"

While talking, Wang Gui, as Li Shimin said, helped to choose the memorabilia about Li Qiu.

At this time, Li Shimin also laughed proudly and said, "Wang Gui, don't tell me, when I first saw such a large pile of government documents, I thought the same as you did."

"I almost called this kid Li Qiu over and gave him a hard training."

"However, when I casually flipped through the government affairs he instructed, it was quite interesting."

"It's unconventional, and it does have a different kind of insight."

As he said that, he threw over several government documents that Li Qiu had handled, and showed them to Wang Gui.
