Chapter 180 Xie Fugui is appointed Minister of Commerce



"Yes, it's good that you've figured it out!"

Sheng Lingwei looked at Ji Yi with a gratified expression. Her brothers and sisters were not fools; with just a little guidance, they could understand what she meant.

Looking at their guilty expressions now, they must have come to their senses, so there's no need to keep dwelling on this.

Then we continued to arrange the work.

"Little brother Tianling, Liu Zi, you two are both clever and quick-witted, especially sensitive to numbers, and you are both misers."

After much thought, I believe you are all suitable to manage the various expenditures of Yucheng County for me, that is, financial management.

It's a pity we're just a city. If we were a small country, I would appoint you as officials in the Ministry of Revenue.

Although I cannot appoint you as officials in the Ministry of Revenue, I can appoint you as Minister and Deputy Minister of Finance. Little Brother Tianling, you will serve as Minister, and Sixth Brother, you will serve as Deputy Minister.

At this point, Sheng Lingwei looked at the two of them solemnly, "Are you two willing?"

Liang Tianling and Liu Zi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement, and replied in unison, "Thank you for your high regard, Boss. We are willing, we are very willing!"

Oh my god!

The eldest brother thought too highly of them, daring to entrust them with the management of his treasury, which truly surprised them.

They are more mature and know how to weigh the pros and cons, unlike Ji Yi who is so childish.

Sheng Lingwei nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Shen Yang and Shen Xin, the siblings, and after a moment of contemplation, said:

"You two siblings are incredibly strong and are well-suited for fighting on the battlefield. I hereby appoint you as Mighty Generals, and you will be under the command of Xiao Yunzi. Just follow his orders in all your actions."

The Shen siblings didn't think much of it and quickly replied with smiles, "Yes, eldest brother."

Sheng Lingwei sighed inwardly.

Shen Yang and Shen Xin are indeed powerful in combat, but their problem lies in their simple-mindedness. They don't understand the way of being a general, let alone military strategy and tactics.

Therefore, she dared not let them lead troops into battle, but she also did not want their martial prowess to be wasted.

We can only let Xiaoyunzi manage them. As for training soldiers, let Xiaoyunzi worry about that!

Jing Qingyun lowered her eyes slightly, and after a moment's thought, she understood what Sheng Lingwei was thinking. She immediately said, "Weiwei, I will establish an army as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about these things. Just leave them to me."

Sheng Lingwei smiled brightly at Jing Qingyun, her eyes filled with tender affection, "You understand me so well, Xiaoyunzi. Thank you for your hard work."

Jing Qingyun shook her head with a doting smile, "It's not hard work, I'm willing to do it, as long as Weiwei is happy!"

Everyone present: ...Oh my god, this dog food almost made them stuffed.

Without further ado, Sheng Lingwei continued to assign tasks to everyone present.

He instructed Luo Xingyuan, who loved swords and spears, to teach the people martial arts, striving to make the whole nation a soldier so that no one would dare to invade.

He instructed Fang Xiuer and her father to select a group of people suitable for studying medicine, regardless of whether they were men or women, boys or girls, and to be responsible for teaching them medical skills.

Yue Mingxi was appointed as the diplomat of Yucheng County. Although he usually seemed unreliable, he was smart and quick-witted, especially his mouth, which was fearless when he started to argue.

Its main selling points are ensuring you don't lose out and infuriating people to death.

In addition, Yue Mingxi inherited her arrogant and conceited nature. Hehe, she has a very wicked sense of humor and enjoys seeing those who come to Yucheng County to cause trouble suffer.

Anyway, she never thought about forming alliances with others, let alone trying to please these people; there was absolutely no need for that.

I'm sure Mingxi won't let her down, hahaha, there's going to be a good show to watch from now on!

As for Rong Momo, she was assigned by Sheng Lingwei to manage the princess's residence.

Baiji, Baizhi, Chuanwu, and Chuanxiong continued to stay by her side, serving as her trusted and close subordinates.

Black Wind and Big Beard were assigned by her to supervise the more than 30,000 people who had been arrested, and to assign them tasks to do every day.

The princess's residence has more than a thousand secret guards. Half of them are responsible for purchasing the materials needed for the construction of Yucheng County, while the other half follow Jing Qingyun and obey his arrangements.

The Jing family members were also assigned tasks.

Madam Jing and her two daughters-in-law were in charge of managing all the women in Yucheng County, arranging their cooking, accommodations, and so on.

They take care of everything related to logistics.

The three siblings, Jing Qingwen, Jing Qingyan, and Jing Qingyue, assisted them and ran errands.

Xie Hui's father, Xie Fugui, has been appointed as the Minister of Commerce. Currently, he is mainly responsible for developing shops to make money for Sheng Lingwei. Once Yucheng County is on the right track, he will sell Yucheng County's products to other regions to promote the economic development of Yucheng County.

Xie Fugui was originally the head of the largest imperial merchant family in Northern Qi, making him the most suitable candidate to serve as the Minister of Commerce.

Xie Fugui sat upright in his chair, and upon hearing that he had been appointed Minister of Commerce, he jumped up and down with excitement.

He never expected that at his age, he would still be valued by Princess Chang Le, which truly delighted and surprised him.

After the initial excitement, she asked, looking completely bewildered, "Princess, what is a Minister of Commerce?"

Sheng Lingwei explained with a smile: "Grandpa Xie, the Minister of Commerce is equivalent to the Minister of Revenue in the imperial court, but you don't need to manage the financial expenditures for me. Your main responsibility is to make money."

Minister of Revenue?

Oh my God!

Xie Fugui's face flushed with excitement. The Minister of Revenue! That's a proper official position!

Merchants in the Northern Qi Kingdom have always had a low social status and have been looked down upon. Even though he became the largest imperial merchant in the Northern Qi Kingdom, the officials still talked about him behind his back.

She clearly wanted the silver he offered, her greedy thoughts were on full display, yet she still put on an arrogant and superior attitude in front of him.

Bah! If it weren't for the prosperity of the entire family, he would have turned against those people long ago. He wouldn't bother to act according to their whims.

Therefore, he especially hoped that someone from the Xie family could become an official, so that the Xie family's prestige could be elevated.

Let's see who dares to look down on them now.

Unfortunately, the descendants of the Xie family were all useless people. Apart from enjoying themselves, they were completely incapable of maintaining the family's reputation, let alone studying and passing the imperial examinations, which were completely out of their reach.

Thinking about all this makes him feel exhausted.

Fortunately, his own two children are successful, which brings him some comfort.

However, due to the Jing family's involvement, the entire Xie clan was exiled and their property confiscated by the corrupt emperor, leading to a complete breakdown in relations between the clansmen and the Xie family.

I've said all sorts of complaints.

He wasn't unhearted, but because it was indeed his daughter who had implicated them, he didn't argue with them.

It was at that time that he finally saw the true colors of his people, and realized that all his efforts over the years had been wasted on ungrateful wretches.

Ah, Xie has resigned as the clan leader.

Whoever is willing can take it. Anyway, his only family is himself. Why should he have to pay for those ungrateful wretches?

Therefore, after they were acquitted, he immediately severed ties with the Xie clan, and their lives and deaths were no longer his concern.

Of course, they shouldn't even think about getting close to him again.

The family of four has established their own family genealogy and is no longer considered part of the original Xie family.
