Dongsheng Dynasty.

In the capital city.

Inside the palace.

All civil and military officials have dispersed.

But the rest of the people left in the temple were all familiar faces.

In the eyes of many people, they were nothing more than merchants, with white bodies, low status, and little gold and silver. It was only by luck that they were appreciated by the emperor and were able to see the holy face in the palace.

But only Zhuang Ming knows that these people are his true confidants.

"Your Majesty..."

Bai Lao is still a bit unable to change his mind.

The man above, who is completely different from the young master in appearance and figure, is wearing an imperial robe and an imperial crown.

But this emperor is the young master.

"There are no outsiders, so you don't have to worry too much."

Zhuang Ming came down from the throne, put his hands behind his back, and said: "This time, you have done a great job in handling the disaster relief. Taking this opportunity, I will give you official positions and enter the household department."

Bai Lao hesitated immediately and said in a low voice: "I and the others are just business managers, how can we take on this responsibility?"

Zhuang Ming patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Bai naturally has this ability, but in the past he could only let you care about the business of one area in the trading firm, but now you are asked to manage the entire Dongsheng Dynasty.

It's just business... In my eyes, although the current Minister of Household Affairs is pretty good, his ability in management alone is not as outstanding as yours. It's just that he comes from a good background and has been in the court for many years, climbing the ladder step by step.

Now that he has reached this position, what makes him even more outstanding is his scheming in fighting openly and secretly in the court."

Bai Lao said with some panic: "I'm afraid that my ability is limited and it is difficult for me to take on this important task."

Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "In the past, if you stretched out your hands a little, those thousands of taels of silver would be distributed one by one to develop the company and develop the business. Now I just ask you to stretch your hands a little and turn the number of thousands of taels of silver into thousands."

The amount of one million taels of silver is nothing more than that, and the method is still similar. Of course, perhaps today’s national treasury does not have so many taels of silver..."

Those in high positions may have outstanding talents in one aspect, but it does not necessarily mean that they are all extremely intelligent, and it does not necessarily mean that people in the market are more stupid than them.

Some people are equally shrewd and capable, with a quick mind and extraordinary intelligence, but because of their background, vision, and many other aspects, they can only care about the gains and losses of one or two taels of silver in the market.

However, some people are in high positions because of their background, vision, opportunity, environment, etc. They can gain or lose millions of taels of silver with just a wave of their hands, and even decide the life or death of millions of people.

For example, the founding emperor of the Dongsheng Dynasty was just a small person who knitted straw sandals in the market. He was over fifty and had accomplished nothing and was mediocre. However, when war broke out, he took advantage of the situation to gather people's hearts and launched an army to rebel. In less than ten years, he conquered all directions.

, established the Dongsheng Dynasty.

Such people are often limited in their horizons due to lack of circumstances or opportunities, and achieve nothing, but it does not mean that they are really incapable.

Another example is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who has been an official for three generations. His father was originally a second-rank official. He took charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs with the help of his father's blessings.

But in Zhuang Ming's eyes, neither Bai Lao nor Fu Lao is inferior to him in terms of talents.

However, Zhuang's Trading Company is too small, while Dongsheng Dynasty is very large, so the gap between them seems to be very large.

In Zhuang Ming's eyes, the gap between the two lies more in "vision" than "talent".

"After all, you are businessmen. You have to be promoted directly to the court and occupy a high position. Such an unprecedented promotion will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among civil and military officials. But now I am the leader of the Dongsheng Dynasty."

Zhuang Ming said: "It is not difficult to subdue them. Next, not only you, but also Yue Yang and others, as well as many of the guards in the trading company, will join the army... As long as you have the ability in this area, you will naturally have corresponding responses.

position."

With his hands behind his back, he had already prepared to fully integrate Zhuang's Trading Company into the Dongsheng Dynasty.

The business of Zhuang's firm will also become the business of the official family.

For him, the people of Zhuang's Trading Company are his true foundation.

As a senior figure in Zhuang's Trading Company, he probably has a plan in his heart, how to arrange positions and how to give corresponding powers, and he also has confidence.

Of course, now that the entire Dongsheng Dynasty is in his hands, it is not possible to replace all civil and military officials with people from Zhuang's Trading Company.

If you really want to promote old people, you must have corresponding talents.

During these days, he also found many smart and capable officials in the court who could indeed be entrusted with important tasks.

"But there is another aspect, which is extremely serious. It is no longer comparable to a business. It must be resolved..."

Zhuang Ming thought like this and thought to himself: "The reason why the Dongsheng Dynasty's treasury is almost in deficit is because of people like them who have corrupted the foundation of the dynasty. Even during this disaster relief, there were also many people who were blinded by greed and conscience. They were killed."

A batch of people still can’t shock people’s hearts.”

All creatures in the world, as long as their hearts are intelligent, will naturally have selfish motives.

It's just that some people can be honest and upright when their righteousness outweighs their selfishness.

But those who have been able to do this have been very few throughout the ages.

Nowadays, scholars from all over the country are taking scientific examinations. Many of them have great ambitions and want to revitalize the Dongsheng Dynasty. They are full of passion and justice, but who can persevere for a lifetime?

From now on, he will really rise to the top and occupy a high position.

Countless financial interests and countless beauties are approaching like waves, driven by various forces. How many of them can remain true to their original intentions and remain honest and unswayed?

"In the past, there were ways to deal with greedy people in commercial houses, but it was not enough to manage the Dongsheng Dynasty."

Zhuang Ming thought like this, looked at the vast sea, and whispered: "I still need someone, someone with an innocent heart who can patrol all directions for me and keep officials everywhere clean and honest."

"Is Jusheng Mountain ahead?"

"Within Dongzhou, are there forbidden places that practitioners from all walks of life dare not mention?"

"There are rumors in the world that once you step foot on it, you will definitely die."

Chen Feiyun thought like this, lowered his head and looked at the bottle of pills.

This is the Continuing Heaven Pill, with four pills inside.

One of the ten great elixirs of Taiyuan Sect.

As long as he understands the first seal of Zhenxuan and takes a Continuing Heaven Pill, he can immediately try to condense the seal of Zhenxuan.

Even in today's world, the great cultivators of the Eight Seals of Zhenxuan cannot turn a blind eye to such elixirs.

But Zhuang Ming handed the elixir to him and did not hide it.

With such a precious elixir, Zhuang Ming was not afraid that he would be greedy and just ran away?

Chen Feiyun laughed at himself and said: "Is he too naive and trusting others? Or does he think that I dare not take the Tiandan and escape? Is it true that he still has the courage to trust me when he employs people and doesn't use them when he doubts them?"

He thought like this, gave a salute, and said: "Junior Chen Feiyun, who is acquainted with Tang Tianying, the third true successor of Guimen, and Zhuang Ming, the thirteenth true successor of Guimen, was ordered to come here today to deliver the Continuing Heaven Pill to the blessed land of Jusheng Mountain."

After finishing speaking, with some uneasy thoughts, I set foot on the land of Jusheng Mountain.

However, no legendary sword light flew over to kill him.

Chen Feiyun breathed a sigh of relief.
