Chapter 3423
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the national household registration files. It does not take much to sort out the list Zhang Qianzhi needs. It is nothing more than issuing an order and asking the local authorities to recommend the best local children from good families to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Just the security department.
However, this was not to cooperate with the Ministry of Security in handling the case. It was far beyond the scope of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' responsibilities, and there was no such precedent before. Naturally, Yu Xiaobao would not agree easily, and immediately declined, saying that he needed to ask his superiors for instructions first.
Yu Xiaobao's reaction was within Zhang Qianzhi's expectation. After all, the other party had been an official for many years and would never risk his career. If I were in the other party's position, I would definitely not agree to it.
Zhang Qianzhi said: "Why trouble Mr. An with some trivial matters? Besides, Mr. An leaves the daily affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to you, which shows that he trusts you very much."
Yu Xiaobao said sternly: "Because of this, I cannot betray Mr. An's trust."
Zhang Qianzhi said: "If you report this matter to Mr. An as official business, he will have to contact Mr. He to verify the situation. But in the eyes of adults, it is just a trivial matter. You have to waste time and energy on communicating. When I see it, you and I can't escape the evaluation of "not doing the job well."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xiaobao couldn't help but hesitate a little. He knew that what Zhang Qianzhi said was probably the actual situation.
Most of the people who hold the power of the empire are already in their fifties and sixties, and their bodies and energy are not as good as they were a few years ago. Therefore, they gradually leave most of the official affairs to their officials, and only some more important matters will be handled in person. Ask.
The matter that Zhang Qianzhi asked for help might be small or big, and reporting it to his boss might really make his boss feel that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Zhang Qianzhi observed the words and continued to persuade: "The No. 3 document issued by the Executive Committee in the first half of the year requires all departments to strengthen collaborative work, improve work efficiency, and reduce unnecessary requests for instructions and reports. Aren't we just understanding the spirit of the document?"
Zhang Qianzhi's words were actually a bit far-fetched. At that time, the executive committee had already gone north to Hangzhou, leaving only Bai Kesi in Sanya. If each department still handles cross-border official business as before, asking for instructions and reporting to the Executive Committee, even if telegraph communication is used, the coming and going will still greatly slow down the pace of work.
That’s why the executive committee issued a special document requiring all departments to strengthen collaborative work. But this specifically means that there is no need to report to the executive committee in Hangzhou, rather than skipping the step of department chief.
Yu Xiaobao just smiled and did not speak to refute Zhang Qianzhi.
He didn't know the flaw in Zhang Qianzhi's words, but when it came to doing favors, it was important to go back and forth. He couldn't give away the favor, but he received nothing.
Zhang Qianzhi is also a smart person. Seeing that Yu Xiaobao did not continue to refute him, he knew that this matter was promising.
Since he was asking for something, of course he prepared corresponding exchange conditions, but because he had not tested Xiaobao's attitude before, he did not dare to propose it rashly, lest he hit a snag.
Now that Yu Xiaobao showed signs of relenting, Zhang Qianzhi quickly seized the opportunity and made an offer to the other party: "The children of the Yu family who work in the Security Department have quite good qualifications and abilities. I think it's time for promotion."
Yu Xiaobao smiled and said: "You really came prepared!"
Yu Xiaobao has two younger relatives who are in the Ministry of Security, but they are not outstanding elites in terms of ability. If they don't get such special support, the road to promotion will be long.
But with the authority that Zhang Qianzhi has, promoting them is really just a matter of one sentence - just like how Yu Xiaobao only needs to write a document and distribute it to help. However, even if these two people were promoted, their benefits and influence on Xiaobao would be extremely limited. Because Yu Xiaobao is still not in a hurry to express his position, he believes that Zhang Qianzhi can offer more than this.
Seeing that he was noncommittal about helping, Zhang Qianzhi put forward a second condition: "I heard that your son is not doing well in Lingshui County. You can consider letting him follow me. What he has not learned before, I Can teach.”
Yu Xiaobao's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "Are you willing to admit him?"
Zhang Qianzhi said: "My conditions are very simple. You help me with things, and I will help you discipline your children. If he fails to become a talented person in the future, you come to me to ask questions."
Yu Xiaobao gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Since you said this, it's a deal!"
Yu Xiaobao's family was originally a poor fisherman in Yulin Bay. If it hadn't been for the time when the traveling people landed in Yulin Port thirty years ago, their family would probably have continued to be poor for generations to come.
After Yu Xiaobao got married and gave birth to a child, he vowed not to let the next generation suffer the same hardships he suffered as a child, so he doted on his son very much.
And his father Yu Dashan's doting on his grandson reached the level of arrogance.
As the first batch of naturalized citizens to join the Chuan people, they had the merit of following the dragon and won the trust of senior officials. They also enjoyed huge dividends after the founding of Haihan. The father and son were officials in the same court, and they had the potential to become aristocrats in the new era.
Children who grow up in such an environment are inevitably a bit arrogant, and have long forgotten the fisherman background of the previous two generations.
So this kid has been in trouble since he was a child and became a troublemaker. But the good thing is that Dashan and Yu Xiaobao have a certain amount of power, so most ordinary disasters can be covered up.
When he reached adulthood, Yu Xiaobao made some arrangements to recruit his son to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, he also knew that it was taboo to do so, so he did not leave his son in Sanya after he joined the job. Instead, he was sent to Lingshui County, which is only a hundred miles away from Sanya, where he became a grain supervisor, responsible for collecting grain. , grain storage affairs.
This job is relatively easy, and it will be considered a passable part of my resume from now on. After working for two or three years, I can then think of ways to be promoted and transferred to other places.
But I didn't expect that this kid was restless after going to the local area. He gathered a group of friends in the grain depot to drink and have fun. As a result, someone accidentally knocked over a candle while drunk, causing a fire.
Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and no major disaster occurred. Afterwards, Yu Xiaobao paid for the burned food out of his own pocket. But his precious son caused such a disaster not long after he took office. He could no longer continue his job as grain inspector, so he had to temporarily step down to calm the situation.
Of course, if it weren't for Yu Xiaobao, the protective father, I'm afraid this kid's fate would not only be resigning, but he would also be held accountable and punished.
And after this "bad deed" is recorded, it will not be so easy to stuff him into other government offices. Yu Xiaobao has also been having a headache recently, wondering how to solve his son's employment problem in the future.
And Zhang Qianzhi's proactive statement made him immediately feel that things had turned around.
If you can get your son to become a disciple of Zhang Qianzhi, he will have someone to discipline him and he can continue to eat royal food. It would be a double kill.
