Some people were surprised after this appointment, while others felt that it was reasonable.

Because Zhao Zuolliang is now nominally Su Yonglin's superior, it was not until Su Yonglin announced the official founding of the country and changed the way the Restoration Army existed that Zhao Zuolliang would be removed from his position as the leader of the Restoration Army in name.

Moreover, Zhao Zuoliao himself also has administrative abilities. As Su Yonglin's father-in-law, he has a higher status than Su Yonglin. It is also appropriate to serve as the actual leader of the Secretariat of the Secretariat.

At least neither Yelu Chenghui nor Huo Jianbai dared to say that he was more suitable for this position than Zhao Zuoliang, nor did he dare not ignore him and go against him or anything like that.

Just kidding, who is behind him?

Do you think your political career is too wonderful?

Therefore, although some people think that this is a foreign relative who interferes in politics, they dare not say it openly, especially in front of Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin obviously appointed a trustee to control the government affairs. So even if you can't tell the obvious, you have to go against him. It would be better not to just work in the new dynasty.

After this important appointment, Su Yonglin appointed Kong Zheng as the Minister of Rites and fully presided over the work of the Ministry of Rites.

Then he appointed Kong Zheng's friend Zhou Jiang as the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, which was a good assistant to Kong Zheng.

The only thing that was mixed with sand for the Ministry of Rites was to appoint Yelu Jin, a former Khitan official in the Jin Kingdom, to the position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The three of them stood up one after another to thank them and expressed their gratitude to Su Yonglin.

Although Su Yonglin arranged a Khitan to the Ministry of Rites, Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang had the same heart, one was the Shangshu and the other was the Left Minister, and Yelu Jin could be crushed to death.

Yelu Jin can't stand up.

The Ministry of Rites seems nothing, but the Ministry of Rites controls the entire process of the imperial examination and recommends the emperor to the officials selected by the Ministry of Rites. Although the Ministry of Personnel is personally controlled by Su Yonglin, as long as there is no problem in the talent election, what can I do if the personnel rights are handed over to Su Yonglin?

As a descendant of the Kong family, in the eyes of outsiders, Kong Zheng was really "deserved to be the first Minister of Rites in the new dynasty.

As for the Khitan Yelu Jin, he was originally an official in the Jin Dynasty's Ministry of Rites and was cautious, but now he was arranged to be in the New Dynasty's Ministry of Rites and was not abrupt.

Despite this, some people still think it is a bit inappropriate to arrange a Khitan to the Ministry of Rites, where the beauty of Chinese etiquette is located.

But Su Yonglin made such a decision, and they couldn't openly object. They could only say that in their future daily work, they would either obey Yelu Jin as a mascot or get out of here.

The problem of the Ministry of Rites has been solved, and the next two major heads are the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.

Su Yonglin appointed Yelu Yuanyi, a former Khitan official in the Jin Dynasty, as the Minister of Civil Affairs, Chen Jichang, who was born in Shandong, as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Han Xianling, a Han from Yanyun, was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Yelu Yuanyi was originally a leader of the army. After surrendering, he took the initiative to ask to leave the army. He followed Yelu Chenghui to change his post to a civilian system and completely bid farewell to the army.

I have to say that his behavior is quite smart. In order to commend his intelligence and his hard work, although Su Yonglin did not like him very much, he appointed him as the Minister of Civil Affairs.

As for Chen Jichang and Han Xianling, of course they are not in a position to deal with it, but it is rare for the second-in-command and the third-in-command in a department to have a harmonious relationship, right?

Su Yonglin didn't care. They just needed to get things done. As for how many conflicts there were in private and how many open and secret struggles there were, Su Yonglin didn't care.

If they did too much, Tianwangjun would naturally tell Su Yonglin everything.

Next is the Ministry of Finance.

The Ministry of Finance is a major department in charge of money, which is of great significance. The powerful emperor did not regard financial issues as an issue that he had to manage. Even Emperor Jiajing, who had not attended court for decades, would care about financial issues very much.

So Su Yonglin thought about it and decided to give her own people a chance.

He appointed Lin Jingchun, who was born in his family, as the Minister of Finance, Li Bao, an official from Bohai, as the left minister of the Ministry of Finance, and Cao Kai, who was born in the Shandong department, as the right minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Lin Jingchun helped him manage financial issues since they were private salt dealers. After becoming a military officer, he was also the top leader in logistics finance.

For more than three years, the Restoration Army has not been without financial difficulties, but Lin Jingchun has never made any mistakes.

He tried his best to maintain the normal operation of finances, which was a great contribution.

Therefore, other confidants could not help them. Lin Jingchun, who was born in an ordinary farmer, was promoted to the position of the new country's steward with his own skills.

There is actually nothing worth fighting for in the remaining Ministry of Works. Unless the intention is not on the government but is focused on making money, then the position of Ministry of Works does have the possibility of making money.

Especially at present, after the establishment of the New Dynasty, the governance of the Yellow River, which may be raging at any time, will become the primary responsibility of the Ministry of Works. In this process, there will be a large amount of capital flows, and it is not too difficult to make a fortune from it.

But at the same time, the Yellow River is also a huge time bomb. No one knows when and where the Yellow River will break. At that time, the people complained and officials mocked Su Yonglin, and the Ministry of Works will definitely take the blame.

So at this stage, everyone was not interested in the Ministry of Works, and even had a faint pity and gloating about the first Minister of Works.

Who would be this lucky unlucky guy?

However, no one expected that Su Yonglin actually gave a speech specifically for the Ministry of Works.

"The Ministry of Works, since the six ministries, the Ministry of Works has been the least valued, because there are always people who think that working is a low-key thing, and think that skilled craftsmen and other skilled people are not good people, and they will not recognize their status.

But I want to say that this idea is completely wrong. Technology is really important. Craftsmen are really important. Back then, the Jin thieves ravaged the Central Plains and killed countless people, but the only one who survived was the skilled craftsmen who still had a skill.

People like Jinzhe know the importance of skilled craftsmen, but our great China actually regards skilled craftsmen as bitches. Little do we know how important is a skilled craftsman who can make powerful weapons? How much contribution can it be to help the army?

Back then, the craftsmen of Xia Kingdom created divine arm bows and showed their power on the battlefield. The Song army was terrified and hurriedly studied and copied. It is important to know that powerful weapons have always been powerful arm helpers for our Central Plains army, so they can defeat the external tribes of the Serbia to attack south. When is it the turn of Xia Kingdom craftsmen to invent the divine arm bow first?"

Su Yonglin knocked on the table and said heartbrokenly: "I thought my ancestors thought that technological development was not good. It may be because of such hardship. Earlier, people must have pursued new technologies because of technological progress, but new technologies are not perfect, and tragic things finally happened.

From this, my ancestors came to a conclusion that new technologies are never as reliable as our own. Diligence can always give you food, and once the new technologies fail, they will have no food. I think my ancestors should have distrust of technology for the purpose of survival.

However, technological development is inevitable. It is obvious that new tools are more conducive to production than old tools. Some minor problems can be constantly repaired, but they cannot be rejected. They cannot regard technological development as a disaster just because of the words of the ancestors, and will never believe it from now on.

This is a stubborn and is wrong. This concept must be corrected. I feel very sad about the outflow of technology and the outflow of craftsmen. At the same time, I also feel very angry. I also know that none of you are willing to take over the affairs of the Ministry of Works, so Shi Zheng!"

"I'm here!"

Shi Zheng, the head of the Ordnance Department under Lin Jingchun, stood up.

"I will give you the task of the Minister of Works. Whether it is to repair city walls, roads, the Yellow River, invent ordnance, it is your responsibility to invent and manufacture ordnance. Lin Jingchun is your old boss. How to use money, you can communicate with him directly and cooperate sincerely!"

"Here!"

Shi Zheng looked excited.

Lin Jingchun smiled slightly and nodded, obviously very happy that the old subordinate he brought out was promoted to the position of Minister of Works.
Chapter completed!
