Chapter 133: Lighting the First Fire



Everyone looked at each other. Their official newspaper was only published every five days, and it only recorded news from the court and officialdom. However, Zhao Jun's newspaper was published every day. Was there really so much content to write about?

Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Zhao Jun just smiled and said nothing.

He copied the poems just to make the newspaper famous. As long as the newspaper was deeply rooted in the people, it would naturally attract countless people to contribute. Then, he could establish the Song News Agency to supervise the official media, which would also have a good effect.

"Bang!"

Zhao Jun slammed the table and stood up, looking around at Lu Yijian and the others and said, "Is Liu Yuanyu mentally ill? He can't even compile a single statistic. What's the point of having him?"

Seeing Zhao Jun getting angry, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"oh?"

Seeing the officials from the Constitutional Council returning with so many documents, Zhao Jun put down his newspaper and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhou Zan replied, "I went to the Salt and Iron Department and asked them to submit the documents for counting. Deputy Envoy Liu of the Salt and Iron Department said that these were official documents sent in from various places this year. They have other things to do and don't have time to count them, so they asked us to count them ourselves."

Lu Yijian was delighted and said, "Jia Ziming is very talented and can handle the task."

"inappropriate."

Wang Zeng saw that Lü Yijian wanted to appoint his trusted aides again, and he said displeasedly, "The position of Salt and Iron Commissioner of the Three Departments is so important. Jia Changchao has never been involved in the Three Departments, so how can he be chosen?"

Wang Zeng pondered, "Perhaps Liu Yuanyu dislikes the establishment of the Constitutional Yuan. He was an opponent of it in the beginning, and now he's using this method to oppose it."

"hehe."

Zhao Jun laughed instead of getting angry and said, "Then it's time to replace him as the Deputy Envoy of the Three Departments. Do you have any candidates?"

Wang Zeng said without hesitation: "He has served as the judge of the Three Departments of Salt and Iron, the deputy envoy of Salt and Iron, and the envoy of the Three Departments many times. He knows the Three Departments like the back of his hand."

“No!”

Lu Yijian hurriedly tried to stop him, but Li Fugu was Li Di, his mortal enemy.

"Who is the candidate for the prime minister?"

Zhao Jun asked.

"Li Fugu is definitely qualified for the job!"

If the entire Salt and Iron Bureau is not dealt with directly and drastically, future reforms will probably be very difficult, and a large number of officials will inevitably follow Liu Yuanyu's example and pretend to obey while actually disobeying.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jun looked around with a sneer and said, "The Salt and Iron Department of the Three Departments is the first fire that our Political System Council started. Everyone, come with me. I want to see how arrogant this Liu Yuanyu is."

The Constitutional Court has not issued any political orders yet, and the formal restructuring will not begin until next year. As a result, it is just data statistics now, and the Salt and Iron Bureau dares to be so rampant.

But it was too late. Zhao Jun immediately said, "Sign the order to summon Li Di to the capital. I will ask the emperor to confer a higher title on Li Di afterwards."

So it’s time for the new official to start his first of three things.
