Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 59
This kick was very hard, the bonsai was kicked in a hurry, and turned forward several somersaults.

Wang Xiuzhi heard the movement, and looked over here suspiciously.

Zhao Dezhao endured the severe pain in his feet, smiled on his face, and nodded slightly to his wife, indicating that nothing happened.

But at this moment, in the depths of his heart, there was secretly a monstrous turmoil, or in other words, impotent rage!
Great positions should not be obtained by outsmarting people. This is the conservative view of a considerable number of traditional Chinese literati on "mandate of destiny". It probably means that a person cannot obtain great positions by relying on wisdom and tactics, but must rely on destiny. In fact, it is somewhat similar to Zhao Dede There is a common saying that Zhao heard in his previous life: Small wealth and small wealth depend on personal hard work, while great wealth and great wealth depend on destiny.

Ma Shangshu asked Qian Niu'er to bring these words back, because he understood the hints in the painting, but obviously he was not very optimistic about the future and ambition of Tianshui County King, so these words seemed to be admonishing: Don't mess around Well, who should you get, that's destiny, your highness is useless.

Zhao Dezhao felt that this was complete nonsense, a very simple example in front of him, if the emperor's father hadn't launched the Chen Qiao mutiny at the right time, would there still be a fart Da Song?Dad is still a fart emperor?Didn't the mutiny rely on ingenuity, tactics and judgment? Could it be that it relied on a loud voice?
"God gives it to me, I will follow it, if I don't give it to me, I will take it by myself, I want a big position to outsmart me!"

"I will not resign myself to fate and wait for the throne of the Song Dynasty to fall from the world or a sword to kill myself!"

"Even if it's a chance to gamble life and death, I have to go to the gambling table to shake the dice!"

Zhao Dezhao shouted silently in his heart, calmed down after venting a bit, waved his hand and told Qian Niuer: "Okay, you go, don't tell anyone what happened today, especially what Ma Shangshu said, Mrs. Lian Don't reveal it either."

Since he came to this world, Zhao Dezhao has never talked about his ambitions and schemes with his wife Wang Xiuzhi, and he deliberately avoided his wife when entrusting Qian Niu'er with confidential affairs.It's not that you can't even trust the person next to your pillow, but that it's better not to let women know about some things about men, otherwise women will be under a lot of pressure all day long, either worrying about this or that.

Qian Niu'er responded, but did not retreat immediately, but blinked and said with a smile: "By the way, Master, Ma Shangshu has another sentence for you to pass on to you: Do your best and obey the destiny."

With a smack, Zhao Dezhao slapped Qian Niu'er hard on the back of the head, followed by kicking him on the leg again, cursing angrily: "Next time, say half and keep the other half, and I will tear you apart." Bone, do you believe it?"

"Because these two sentences are very important, Ma Shangshu specially emphasized that the two sentences must be brought, and the servants of course said them separately."

Although his prince was threatening very fiercely, Qian Niu'er had a grin on his face, and he didn't feel scared at all. He could tell that his prince was smiling, which was better than the cloudy face just now I don't know where I went.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao was indeed in a good mood, he had fully understood Ma Shangshu's entangled mentality.

——Your Highness, the old man admits that you have some ability, but I don't think you have much hope of winning, because the big position can never be obtained by relying on personal ingenuity; however, the old man is still willing to do his best to help His Highness Support His Highness. As for whether His Highness can succeed in the end, it depends on the Holy Majesty's will and the arrangement of the destiny. This is to do one's best and obey the destiny.

A half-hearted defection like Ma Shangshu's is obviously forced by the situation, and his sincerity is limited.

But Zhao Dezhao already felt very satisfied. Under the unfavorable situation where the King of Jin and Zhao Yi had an absolute overwhelming advantage, it was quite good for an important court official to bet heavily on himself, who seemed to have no chance of winning. Is it that important to take the initiative or be forced?

……

The refuge of Ma Shangshu from the household department made what Zhao Dezhao was doing suddenly smooth.

The temporary work experience in the government agency in the previous life told Zhao Dezhao: To do an administrative job well, you must have the corresponding middle-level management talents, basic data of the work objects, and corresponding practical experience.

Of course, taxation is the same. Without corresponding taxation talents, basic economic data of various state capitals, and manpower with practical experience, then this matter will definitely be dirty.

But these three things can only be found in the household department.

This is exactly the most direct reason why Zhao Dezhao tried every means to lure and intimidate him, and he must let the Minister of the Household Department take refuge in him - without the Butcher Zhang from the Household Department, he would really have to eat hairy pigs.

With the active cooperation of Ma Shangshu after he took refuge, the "Da Song State Administration of Taxation" that Zhao Dezhao was preparing to solve was the manpower problem first.

It would be very difficult to transfer one or two thousand people from the household department to act as grassroots tax collectors;
However, if only a small group of officials who are proficient in book calculation and experienced in taxation are selected as middle-level managers, it can be easily filled.

Ma Shangshu didn't even show himself, he just stayed at home to recuperate, and at the same time sent a servant to hand over a two-finger-wide note to the yamen of the household department, and provided Zhao Dezhao with the required manpower in one morning.

Through this detail, Zhao Dezhao had to gain some new understanding of this Ma Shangshu. This person is still very skillful, and he simply hides his secrets!

With this group of people temporarily transferred by the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhao Dezhao, the first director of the "Da Song State Administration of Taxation", finally got rid of the embarrassment of the poor commander.

But in the next few days, Zhao Dezhao was still so busy every day that he had to urge Liu Lexian, who took over the internal treasury supervisor, to print the tax invoices as soon as possible, and also arranged for officials from the household department to go to the states under the Song Dynasty. Each government issued an official document to let the local state government start to prepare suitable places and manpower for the local national tax bureau.

Everything is ready, and it is time for the "State Administration of Taxation" to officially open its doors.

"Sir, the day after tomorrow is a good day. The calendar says it is good for 'receive the seal and sit in the office'." Wang Xiuzhi looked through the almanac carefully, selected all the days, and went to Zhao Dezhao to remind him.

"The opening of my new yamen, is it also called receiving seals and sitting in the yamen?" Zhao Dezhao asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Wang Xiuzhi was very sure, after thinking for a while, he said, "But my lord, haven't you even decided on the venue for the new yamen?"

"Damn, I almost forgot, I have to go to the palace quickly!" Zhao Dezhao answered irrelevant questions, jumped up from the chair, and directly ordered Qian Niu'er to prepare the horse, and then went out in a hurry.
