Pei did not talk to He Zhizhang about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites examines the use of the five rituals of good fortune, good fortune, military, guest, and bad fortune, and manages national school affairs, imperial examinations, and exchanges between vassals and foreign countries.

In Pei's eyes, except for the imperial examination and vassal states, foreign diplomacy deserves attention and nothing else is interested.

Under Pei's initial influence, the imperial examinations have been paid more attention to. Now the imperial examinations have reached a point where they are better than nothing. From the original one-year trial to the three-year trial, they are able to strive for excellence.

This year is not the year of the imperial examination, and there is nothing to ask about in the imperial examination.

As for diplomacy, nothing special.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and a strong country holds its fate.

The Tang Dynasty became more and more powerful, and most of the surrounding countries survived by the Tang Dynasty. They were all as gentle as dogs, and there was nothing to say.

He Zhizhang looked happy. He looked at the growing little brother, who was a general and a prime minister, and accomplished things that others might not be able to do in their lifetime. He was sincerely happy about it. Thinking of some things in the temple, he said: "You can rest assured that the Ministry of Rites, the old brother will definitely cooperate with you, the newly promoted Shangshu Zuo Pushe. The two Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works are friends of the old brother, and the old brother has greeted them. On the side of Shangshu Du of the Ministry of War, he is with you, and I believe he will also cooperate with your actions. But on the side of the Ministry of Revenue, you should pay more attention. Shangshu Yuwen is afraid that he will not cooperate well."

Listening to He Zhizhang talking about these trivial matters, Pei was also moved in his heart and smiled and said, "Brother He, don't worry, Yuwen Shangshu is now like a frightened bird. He will shake when I stamp his feet. I use him now, so he doesn't need to convince me. As long as I don't cause trouble, keep it. If you cause trouble, then kick it out."

Seeing that Pei was completely in control of the situation, He Zhizhang smiled and said, "It seems that I am too worried."

"Old brother has any contact with Xu Mingke recently?"

Pei asked about Xu Ming's news.

He Zhizhang heard Pei talk about this again and sighed: "Some, his family moved to Xiangyang, saying that he was avoiding the limelight. Unfortunately, such a talent was buried like this..."

As Pei had expected, Xu Ming solved the past, and although he gave Yang Jieyu and Wang a fatal blow, he also took him in.

People are like this, and sometimes they are willing to know nothing.

If you really know everything, the whistleblower will suffer.

Xu Ming cleverly chose to protect himself. After the incident, he went home to the official position.

Although Wang Kuo has not been around for a long time, he is highly valued by Li Longji and has held more than a dozen important positions, which involves too many interests.

His fall also cut off the future of many people.

Xu Ming also offended many people because of this, and for the sake of safety, he even left his hometown.

Pei asked, "Can you contact him? I have an important task here. If he makes great contributions, I can make an exception to promote him. Even if Your Majesty recovers, the capital will not be able to tolerate him. In the Western Regions, Liangzhou will have a place to establish his foothold."

He Zhizhang looked very excited when he heard this, and he felt very guilty about Xu Ming.

As a famous minister, Xu Ming should have a better future because of his stubbornness that involved a big case.

This made Xu Ming now have to hide his identity and leave his hometown.

Although Xu Ming did not mean to blame him, He Zhizhang was dissatisfied.

Now that Xu Ming had the opportunity to turn over, his beard couldn't help but tilt up and said impatiently: "That's great. The old brother thanked the younger brother on behalf of the Xu family."

Pei said solemnly: "Old brother is not in a hurry to thank him. Things will be a bit dangerous. You may be able to get yourself in. Whether to go or not is required, he will agree. The old brother cannot make this decision."

"I understand!" He Zhizhang nodded constantly, "I will give you the contact information of Xu Ming now, you can contact him by yourself." He paused and said, "I know you have some connections in the world, so please ask Xu Ming for his safety."

Pei smiled and said, "Of course, since I use him, I will do my best to protect his safety. In this regard, I will never be careless."

He Zhizhang felt relieved when he heard this.

Pei spent a day to understand the situation of the six ministries and took control of the six ministries under him.

The first thing he did in office was to adjust food prices.

This kind of thing is thankless. No matter what price you set, there will be a group of people who are dissatisfied with it.

Because of this, this decision has never been decided.

Pei didn't care about so much. A real man did what he did and did not do what he did. How could he let wrong policies harm the world for fear of being criticized?

In two days, nearly two hundred officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel were working overtime.

When the agreed date was reached, the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue were staring at their red eyes and holding a thick statistical account book to report to Pei.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Pei also gave them a satisfied smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you can go down and get in touch first. If you have any questions, I'll come to you again."

Pei nodded constantly at the account book compiled by the Minister of Personnel. It took him half a day to read the records of the Ministry of Personnel.

He hugged his eyes, which were sour. The account book was full of numbers. Looking at some numbers, it hurt his eyes. Pei continued to open the information compiled by the Accounts Department and found that Yu Wenrong understood his ideas and intentions.

The data statistics of Yuwen Rong are very targeted. In the early Tang Dynasty, the states were divided into the upper, middle and lower levels, but now there are four auxiliary, six heroes, ten hopes, ten tights, one hundred and ninety upper states, twenty-nine Zhongzhou, and one hundred and eighty-nine Xiazhou.

Yuwen Rong abandoned all four auxiliary, six heroes, ten hopes, and ten tights, and selected one hundred and ninety upper states, and then coordinated the Zhongzhou and Xiazhou.

In the remaining prefectures and counties, he abandoned the rich landlords, just targeted the poorer people, such as traveling merchants, workers and farmers.

Improvement prices are to allow poor farmers to live a wealthy life, and to allow handicraftsmen to afford the price of rice and grain, and to have enough food, so that they are stakeholders.

As for those landlords and the wealthy's food prices, they have little impact on them.

Seeing the answer given by Yuwen Rong, Pei couldn't help but admire that although Yuwen Rong's thoughts were pedantic and annoying, his political talent was indeed very good.

All the officials from the Shangshu Province gathered together, and everyone spent a night to set the price of rice and grain based on the economic average of the people in the world.

Qingqi Valley has six essays and one dou, which is two essays higher than the original essays, two essays, one essay, twenty essays, and thirty-five essays...

Pei also knew that this price could not satisfy everyone, but all he could do was to try to be fair and have a clear conscience.
