Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

"Hiss... Don't say anything, Your Majesty, you have thought it through very carefully!"

Mr. Hu was not being sarcastic, he really thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was a good one.

"You are looking for help for yourself. You are a little clever."

"I thought you were only caring about your own children!"

Facing Mr. Hu's complaints, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded calmly.

"That's right!"

"We are doing this for our own children!"

"Weiyong, think about it, how much of our skills have actually been taught by our master?"

"Isn't it all the results that we have slowly figured out and summarized over the years?"

"So, for many things, we know how to do it and how to arrange it, and this is the best arrangement."

"But I can't tell what the reason is."

"Does this mean that we need someone who understands our feelings and is familiar with government affairs to explain this to our little bastards?"

"Otherwise, they will probably just learn the basics of a tiger by imitating a cat."

When Hu Weiyong heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he actually touched his chin and began to think about it.

"Well, if that's the case, then your Majesty, what you need is more than just a few secretaries who are familiar with government affairs."

"What you lack is a secretary general who can lead the secretariat!"

"Hmm? Secretary General?"

Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively felt that the position of Secretary-General was very important, but he was unable to summarize what this position specifically did.

Master Hu smiled and counted the numbers for him one by one on his fingers.

"Secretary General, this position may seem like a job for a housekeeper, but in reality, most people can't do it."

"Let's not talk about the basics of passing on information, there's a lot of knowledge involved."

"You have to distribute the work and tasks assigned by you as the prime minister, and you also have to make people accept and complete the work and tasks honestly."

"The handling of the human relations here is not something that ordinary people can do."

"Secondly, the secretarial office said they are there to help you with your work, but how can you make those secretaries do their work to your satisfaction? This is also the job of the secretary general!"

"It can be said that this is an imperial envoy who has been under the king's orders for a long time, plus the work of a personal supervisor. Can an ordinary person do this?"

After hearing Master Hu's explanation, not only Zhu Yuanzhang became interested, but Zhu Biao also came over.

"Uncle, now that you mention it, I actually want to set up a secretarial office like this, too."

"Good fellow, he doesn't have much power, but he works more efficiently than the cabinet."

"Is it true that the position of Secretary General will not grow to the level of Prime Minister?"

"Don't let a powerful minister appear at that time, it will only do more harm than good!"

The question Zhu Biao wanted to ask was obviously the same question Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask.

He had long been severely allergic to the word "prime minister".

Whenever he heard anything related to this matter, he didn't jump up from the kang, purely because Zhu Biaoxian asked about it.

Facing the nervous looks of the father and son, Master Hu waved his hand lazily with a calm look.

"Prince, there is one major difference between my place and yours. My prime minister only serves for a maximum of ten years."

"Ten years later, people happily returned home to retire."

"Then do you think the new prime minister will retain the previous secretary-general?"

"For a position as a confidant, who wouldn't want to replace it with someone from their own family?"

"Even the entire secretariat, those who hold power or are not smooth in use, don't they all have to be replaced?"

"To put it bluntly, the secretariat and the secretary-general are all there to serve the prime minister. How could someone take over their position and seize power?"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao finally realized what was going on and nodded.

Oh, there is such a threshold.

They were so nervous just now that they forgot about it.

But if you think about it this way, it seems pretty good.

No matter how great you are, you’ll only be on stage for ten years anyway.

Even if we can't find any flaws or charges against you, you'll have to come down obediently when the time comes.

Many people clearly remember the saying that when a person dies, his regime will also cease to exist.

Of course, there is also the saying that when someone leaves, the tea gets cold.

When in office, he could naturally be given titles such as Secretary-General, Imperial Envoy, and Powerful Prime Minister.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But if he steps down and a new prime minister and secretary general take office, then what use will the words of the previous secretary general be?

For a time, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were immersed in analyzing the pros and cons of this policy.

Master Hu was speechless when he saw the scene.

You should think about whether you can go home and think about it.

Although your family doesn't have a working kang right now, can't you just cover yourself with a few more layers of quilts?

What's the matter with staying at my house all the time?

The key point is that because of their arrival, there were hundreds of imperial guards coming inside and outside the Hu Mansion.

Isn’t this a bit annoying?

Thinking of this, Master Hu simply knocked on the table on the kang, attracting the attention of the two men opposite him, and then spoke directly.

"Your Majesty, since you mentioned the position of Secretary General, I might as well tell you directly."

"The first secretary general prepared for you is Supervisor Song Lisong."

"In my eyes, he is the most suitable candidate for you!"

"After all, who else but him could be so familiar with your administration and other habits?"

"He and you are a perfect match."

"Besides, he has been in the palace for so many years, so he has more experience than others in getting along with these princes."

"It seems so suitable!"

"Well, this is not okay, right? How can a eunuch be an official? This is a normal official position!"

Mr. Hu did not expect that the person who raised objections was not Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the most stubborn, but Zhu Biao, who seemed open-minded.

But since Zhu Biao had spoken, Master Hu was willing to listen to his ideas.

"Oh, Your Highness feels it's inappropriate?"

“But I don’t think there’s anything inappropriate about it!”

"As you can tell from my description, this position is mainly used to assist the Prime Minister. He will be responsible for handling all the Prime Minister's affairs."

"This kind of position is a perfect match for Song Li!"

"Besides, you two are going to abdicate soon, so Song Li will naturally give up the position of personal eunuch at that time."

"Rather than letting Song Li retire now, it would be better for him to come out with His Majesty and see the sunshine!"

After listening to what Master Hu said, Zhu Biao had no intention of changing his words.

“I still feel this is inappropriate.”

"Eunuchs are people who have been punished for their crimes. They have desires for wealth and power that ordinary people cannot match. It is inappropriate to put them in such an important position."

"I think I should choose someone else!"
