Chapter 274

Jiang Ji and Cheng Yu had both bought courtyards to live in outside.

They arrived at the Ministry of War gate early in the morning.

Seeing Jia Hui arrive, they entered together.

Along the way.

Countless officials and soldiers bowed respectfully to Jia Hui.

Arriving at the main hall of the government office.

They found Li Lin, who had arrived earlier than Jia Hui.

Li Lin had already changed into the official uniform of the Minister of War.

He was receiving flattery from his subordinates.

Seeing Jia Hui arrive.

Seeing Jia Hui wearing a python robe, he felt a sense of awe.

His face showed joy.

He immediately said politely to Jia Hui: "The Marquis is here, please take your seat."

He addressed Jia Hui as Marquis, but did not address his official title.

Unlike others.

This was not a lack of recognition for Jia Hui, but rather a form of flattery.

Because he was Jia Hui's superior.

Unlike others.

Addressing Jia Hui's official title would be putting him on a pedestal.

This was the etiquette.

Jia Hui smiled: "I would also Love Love Like to congratulate Master Li on your promotion to Minister of War!"

"I am ashamed, ashamed, I still have to thank the Marquis for your recommendation."

Li Lin said gratefully with a smile.

He had also met the Emperor yesterday.

He was bought over by Li Li Li Shimin and others.

Because this matter was agreed upon by the Retired Emperor.

So the process was very fast.

Once the imperial edict was issued, he could take office.

However, by comparison.

He was naturally more grateful for Jia Hui's recommendation.

Otherwise, it was really hard to say whether he could sit in this position.

This was a coldness that even the Crown Prince could not give him.

Seeing his reaction.

Jia Hui was quite satisfied.

So afterwards, both sides politely introduced their people.

Jia Hui introduced Jia Xu and the others.

Regarding this, everyone in the Ministry of War was polite.

After all, these were Jia Hui's confidants.

No one dared to offend them rashly.

As for Li Lin, he also introduced the officials of the Ministry of War to Jia Hui.

【292】 Power-for-power trade, three key positions, a priceless favor worth tens of thousands of taels.

"This is the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Wu Tai."

"This is the Secretary of the Office of Administration, Wu Xinshui, and Secretary Yu Zishi."

"This is the Director of the Bureau of Appointments, Dong Dong."

"This is the Director of the Bureau of Records, Chu Liang."

"This is the Director of the Bureau of Vehicles, Wo Fa."

"This is the Director of the Bureau of Armaments, Fang Great Great Qian."

"And this is..."

The Ministry of War mainly has four bureaus: Appointments, Records, Vehicles, and Armaments.

Each is headed by a Director of the fifth rank, with two people in each bureau.

Therefore, there are ten Directors in total.

In addition, there is an Office of Administration of the Ministry of War.

This is one of the administrative agencies of the Ministry of War.

It is responsible for receiving documents from various government offices in other provinces, presenting them to the hall, numbering and registering them, distributing them to the bureaus for processing, and inspecting the diligence of the officials in various provinces, as well as managing the clerks of the ministry.

There are also two secretaries, of the ninth rank.

Although their rank is not high, they are in low positions with great power.

In a sense.

They are more senior than the fifth-rank Directors.

That is why Li Lin introduced the two secretaries first.

Then, in addition to these two secretaries and ten Directors.

There are also four Vice Directors of the fifth rank.

Twelve main officials of the sixth rank.

One Ambassador of the ninth rank of the Ministry of War's Assembly Hall, and two Deputy Ambassadors of the ninth rank.

In ancient Chinese capitals, there were agencies for the imperial court to receive guests.

Great Great Great Qian established the Honglu Temple, but its duty was specifically to manage court ceremonies and rankings, and it no longer managed reception affairs; the head official of the Assembly Hall was given the title of Junior Minister of the Honglu Temple.

There was another agency under the Ministry of War for delivering official documents and receiving people and horses, which was the Assembly Hall.

Although this Assembly Hall was not an administrative office, nor was it a very important type of building, it was an important part of the imperial capital's mechanism, carrying the function of developing foreign relations.

Therefore.

Jia Hui had thirty-one main officials under him.

From this, it can be seen.

The four bureaus of civil administration are all managed, and the Minister integrates them through the secretaries.

The central position of the main official is prominent.

It unified the authority, which to a certain extent improved the operational efficiency of the department.

Last night.

Jia Hui already knew the power of this department.

Its authority far exceeded that of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department.

It can manage the election and transfer of military officers at all levels, rewards and punishments for military merit, maps, military systems, city gods, garrisons, training, expeditions, honor guards, forbidden guards, post stations, stables, military weapons, tally verification, military records, military schools, and salaries!

It involves every aspect of military management, including personnel, border defense, assisting the monarch in issuing commands, and supervising military affairs; the weight and complexity of its authority were unprecedented.

Therefore, Jia Hui had to do everything possible to firmly control it.

After meeting each other.

Jia Hui and Li Lin went to a side hall, where only the two of them sat and talked.

After another round of pleasantries.

Jia Hui went straight to the point: "Master Li, I want three of my confidants to serve in the Ministry of War, and another one intends to go to the army to gain experience."

Li Lin nodded: "This is easy."

He felt that Jia Hui's number was quite reasonable.

Not too many people.

Otherwise, even he could not agree to it.
