"Hahaha, I think our Majesty is going to do something big again."
In the Ministry of Commerce, Yun Xiyan sat in his office, brewing a pot of tea. He smiled at Zong Shiji and said, "I've been holding it in for a year, and it seems I can't hold it in any longer. I'm afraid future court meetings will change."
Zong Shiji also grinned. "To be honest, I don't think this court meeting is very meaningful. The First Five-Year Plan is such a comprehensive outline, and all departments should just follow it. But your Majesty's actions today were a bit excessive. I don't think the Three Dukes will forgive him."
Yun Xiyan poured tea and shook his head. "Not necessarily. Back in the Yu Dynasty, our Majesty was a master of debate. His ability to make people spit blood is still a legend in Jinling City, and no one can surpass it. Even if he can't bring himself to speak to the Three Dukes, he can definitely make them speechless."
Zong Shiji blew on his teacup and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's tough. Our Ministry of Commerce is better. It's a bit tiring, but Your Majesty has given us enough power. I can make all the decisions myself. It's just that we're a little short-staffed. The commercial bureaus in various places haven't been fully established yet. Sigh..."
"Don't worry. I asked Wang Sun Wuya to send a letter to his younger brother Wang Sun Wuji... He's the Wang Sun Wuji from the Yu Dynasty's Ministry of Commerce, who was personally recruited by His Majesty."
Zong Shiji was stunned. "Are you trying to steal Yu Chao's girlfriend?"
"The Yu Dynasty's Ministry of Commerce is the real deal. It was founded by His Majesty himself, and every one of those people has been personally mentored by His Majesty. They're talented people... I think the world here is much broader, and they might be willing to come."
Zong Shiji didn't know much about the young men in the Yu Dynasty's Ministry of Commerce, but he knew that all the business laws of the Wu Dynasty were created by those young men.
The Ministry of Commerce played a vital role in the new policies implemented by the Yu Dynasty, and the policies of the Wu Dynasty were consistent with the new policies of the Yu Dynasty and were even more detailed. If those guys could really come to the Wu Dynasty, the operation of the Ministry of Commerce would definitely be more efficient.
"What official positions were promised to them?"
"Xu is just a bullshit official position, and all he said was to follow His Majesty to conquer the world."
Just as Zong Shiji finished speaking, a young man hurried in. He bowed and said, "My Lords, the Third Duke and the six ministers are here to visit."
Zong Shiji was so startled that he almost dropped the tea bowl in his hand. Yun Xiyan was slightly startled and said, "Just do what you need to do."
"...I obey your command."
"Not going to greet them?"
"unnecessary."
"Although we report directly to His Majesty, we are still the bosses of the three provinces and six ministries!"
"Remember, in His Majesty's eyes, all beings are equal... This is a phrase he often mentioned. He dislikes flattery, and even less so, he dislikes clinging to the powerful. Our Ministry of Commerce is a humble office, so just focus on your own business. I don't bother to bother with any high-ranking officials."
…
…
Zhuo and his group stood stupidly in the lobby of the Ministry of Commerce, looking at the people coming and going in the lobby that looked like a vegetable market, and the people lining up in front of the windows, wondering where the officials of the Ministry of Commerce were.
Why hasn't anyone come to greet us yet?
The young official came down from upstairs, bowed, and said with a smile, "My Lords, the Ministry of Commerce is very busy. If you have business to attend to, please go to the Minister's office on the second floor. If not... the Minister said you can do as you please, but please don't disturb others."
“…”
"Yun Xiyan is so arrogant!"
Zhuo and his entourage raised their hands to stop the Minister of Rites Xiao Yulou from speaking angrily, and said to the young official, "Okay, just accompany us for a walk."
"Ah... My lords, I'm sorry, but I have a lot on my plate. The trade agreement between Your Majesty and the State of Fan must be finalized as soon as possible, and the planning scheme for the Beijun City Free Trade Zone must be finalized in the next few days. I'm really busy. Please feel free to leave."
The young man bowed again and turned to leave, completely leaving the nine most powerful people in the Wu Dynasty in the hall.
"...How disgraceful! They, they simply have no respect for the inferiors! I will definitely report them to His Majesty!" Xiao Yulou was so angry that his face turned red. They were all high-ranking officials of the third rank, and the other three were prime ministers of the second rank of the Wu Dynasty. No matter which department this group of people went to, they would definitely be warmly received by the department heads.
What kind of people are in this Ministry of Commerce?!
Nangong Yiyu turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yulou with a serious expression. He then looked at the other five ministers and asked, "Do you all think so too?"
The other five ministers remained silent. Nangong Yiyu spoke earnestly, "This is why His Majesty scolded us today. The Ministry of Commerce is a newly established department. It operates extremely efficiently. But what about the three provinces and six ministries? Throw away all your previous sense of superiority before me."
"Use your eyes to see, your brain to think, but remember to keep your mouth shut!"
"I can tell you, if the three provinces and six ministries fail to make such changes, if they continue to slack off like before... Believe me, Your Majesty will dismantle the three provinces and six ministries and establish new ones!"
When Nangong Yiyu said this, the six ministers were shocked - the three ministers looked unhappy when they came back from the imperial study today, and they suddenly wanted to bring them to the Ministry of Commerce to see it with their own eyes.
It seems that in the eyes of His Majesty, there are many problems with the three provinces and six ministries, and it has even risen to such a serious level that they are unnecessary to exist!
"Please make way, my lords. Don't block this door." Another young official came over and said softly. He thought for a moment and added, "If you have nothing else to do, please go back. Don't scare the people outside."
After saying a few words, the young official hurried away, leaving the group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Alright, enough of this, let's go take a look and learn how they do things!"
The six officials dispersed, but they felt something strange in their hearts.
They had never suffered such a setback before, and they thought that the Ministry of Commerce was personally controlled by His Majesty, who was like his own son, and he would not be afraid of them.
But what they saw next completely changed their view of the Ministry of Commerce.
"Sir, the company registration process is over there. You'll need to provide company qualification certification at window one, fill out the required documentation at window two, pay the registered capital at window three, and receive the business license at window four. I wish you a prosperous business... Next!"
Every window was busy, but the officials sitting behind the windows did not show any impatience.
They were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of tea, but in return they brought smiles to the faces of those who came to do business.
"Only our Ministry of Commerce can be so efficient!"
"This was established by His Majesty himself, and placed on Huanhua Street. Isn't it for the convenience of us ordinary people?"
"How great would it be if all the departments in our Wu Dynasty could be like the Ministry of Commerce?"
"I suspect that if those departments don't take the initiative to change, then His Majesty will personally take charge of the changes."
"Brother Li, goodbye, I'm done."
"Brother Qian, take care. I still have one last step to go. See you at Liuyuntai tonight!"
“…”
