Chapter 257: Spiritual Network Belongs
Yanfu.
The atmosphere in the study was a little solemn at this time. Yan Song, who was sitting at the head of the group, had no expression on his old face.
Yan Shifan, Hu Zongxian and Yan Shaoting, who were sitting below, also sat upright, recalling in their minds everything they had experienced on the moon today.
There is no doubt that the "spiritual network interconnection" proposed by Xu Fan is a national policy that can run parallel to the "spiritual industrial era".
And thanks to the development of the current "spiritual industrial era", it has directly paved the way for "spiritual network interconnection".
This made them think more.
Is Xu Fan’s purpose of developing the “Spiritual Industrial Era” just for today?
First it was "Xianming Heavy Industry", then it was "Lingqi Industrial Era", and now it is "Lingwang Internet", which are all closely linked!
It seemed that all the national policies he proposed were developed on the basis of the "Aura Industrial Age".
No, there is no need to question it!
Xu Fan had made it very clear before, on the moon, in front of everyone.
He had already had this idea in mind!
It’s just that this time, the discovery on the moon allowed his idea to be realized ahead of schedule!
At this moment, even Hu Zongxian couldn't help but envy Xu Fan from the bottom of his heart, and there was also a hint of hidden jealousy in his heart.
After all, ever since Lord Yan became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, few people could make him angry, but now Xu Fan has done it.
Hu Zongxian knew very well why Lord Yan was so angry. If it was just Xu Fan, then he would be the best tool for everyone to gain credit for their political achievements.
Everyone felt relieved to let Xu Fan be in charge of the Ministry of Works alone. Although he seemed to be the Minister of Works, the power of the Ministry of Works had long been hollowed out by various parties. But now it is different.
Xu Jie returned to the cabinet!
Over the years, Xu Jie has taken continuous actions to completely eliminate all the people from various forces that were placed in the Ministry of Works.
Not only that, Xu Jie also made arrangements among the grassroots officials. As long as he waits for the right opportunity, he will promote these people, and then the Xu family will return to its former peak.
Even the power of Xu Jie, the second-in-command of the cabinet, exceeded that before he was demoted!
After all, before he was demoted, the power of the entire Qingliu was huge but also complex. People like Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and Zhao Zhenji all had their own factions.
Things are different now. Xu Jie took advantage of the momentum of the Ministry of Industry to reorganize his team, and the newly formed force is more pure.
With the return of Zhang Juzheng and others, the factional forces inside and outside the court became increasingly complicated.
Although the Yan family's position in the government and the country is still unshakable and unmatched, it can't stand the fact that they have been standing still while others are taking advantage of their victory. In this way, the Yan family has everything now, and sooner or later they will be surpassed by others.
I ask, how could Lord Yan not be angry?
"I've said before that we can't leave Xu Fan alone," the hot-tempered young cabinet minister Yan Shifan couldn't help but ask directly, "What's going on now?"
"It goes without saying that the Emperor will definitely agree to this national policy of 'interconnecting the spirits'!"
"Hmph!" Yan Shifan said with a sneer, "When the time comes, he will get a share of the credit for the national policy of 'Initiative to Reform'. Anyone who uses the Image Stone in the future will remember his kindness."
"The Xu family will also take this opportunity to catch up with our Yan family in the shortest possible time!"
"Ruzhen," Yan Song raised his eyelids and finally spoke, "What do you think of this 'Spiritual Network'?"
Seeing that his father ignored him, Yan Shifan snorted, but still looked at Hu Zongxian.
Although he was very unhappy about the old man's indulgence in Xu Fan's growth, the fact was already like that and no matter how much he said, it would be of no use. Since the old man had already taken action, he must have a plan.
Hearing Yan Song's question, Hu Zongxian looked up at his teacher's eyes which were deep, calm, and like a pool of dark spring water.
"To be honest, I think what Brother Shifan said is right. The emperor will definitely agree to develop this 'spiritual network'." Hu Zongxian moved his lips to start a conversation, and then continued:
"And in my opinion, the emergence of the 'Spiritual Network' means an improvement for the Ming Dynasty as a whole. It is no exaggeration to say that it benefits the country and the people."
"So, if you want to target the Xu family, you can't start with the 'Spiritual Network' itself. You must consider other aspects."
"Then where do you think is a better place to start?" Yan Song asked again.
This time, Hu Zongxian did not answer immediately. Instead, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Take it into your hands!"
When Yan Shifan heard Hu Zongxian's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Upon hearing this, Yan Song remained calm and did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he turned to his grandson Yan Shaoting.
"Shao Ting, tell me what you think." Hearing his grandfather asking him, Yan Shao Ting, who was now more calm, said, "My grandson also thinks that what Lord Hu said is very true."
"First of all, the emergence of the 'Spiritual Network' will benefit the country and the people, and the emperor will definitely allow it to be released. However, the 'Spiritual Network' also has some drawbacks. This is the key for us to master it!"
"Disadvantages?" After hearing Yan Shaoting's words, Yan Song and Hu Zongxian both nodded slightly. However, Yan Shifan was stunned at first, then his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said, "Yes, it is a disadvantage!"
Before Yan Song asked, Yan Shifan had already started to make associations.
"Once this 'Spiritual Network' is released, every household and every citizen will have a photo stone. Coupled with the emergence of 'Innovation in Thought', it is inevitable that some rumors will spread."
"Yes," Yan Shifan clapped his fist and said, "Maybe someone will slander the court at that time."
"So this thing must have a manager!"
"At this time, we can naturally take over the 'Spiritual Network' and use it for our own benefit..."
"Father, what we can think of, I'm afraid others can think of as well." Just when Yan Shifan was thinking about how to get the "Spiritual Network", Yan Shaoting couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him.
Yan Shaoting's words instantly cooled down the excitement in Yan Shifan's heart, and his face turned ugly.
As his natal sign and natal objects connect, his personality and way of doing things begin to be gradually affected.
What is the nature of a venomous snake? Cold, greedy, and greedy, this is the best description.
Therefore, after seeing the immediate benefits, he did not consider anything else for a moment and just wanted to swallow it quickly.
Now his son Yan Shaoting's words were like a blow to him, and all his passion disappeared.
What you can think of, others can also think of.
That means that once the Yan family takes action to fight for this "Spiritual Network", others will inevitably join in.
Moreover, the "Spiritual Network" involves the future direction of public opinion. Will the emperor easily hand it over to his subjects?
Therefore, the final owner of the "Spiritual Network" is likely to be the royal family, and the emperor may even have decided on the candidate now.
“The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.” At this moment, Yan Song suddenly spoke slowly, saying, “Be patient in everything.”
Hearing this, Yan Shifan, whose heart had already sank, suddenly looked up and looked at his father Yan Song.
"Dad, do you have any ideas?" Yan Shifan, Yan Shaoting and Hu Zongxian all looked at Yan Song.
"Just wait and see..." There was an inexplicable gleam in Yan Song's eyes.
At this time, in the study room of Xu's house.
Xu Jie, Xu Fan and Xu Yuanchun, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, sat in order.
"The Emperor will most likely agree to develop the 'Spiritual Network,'" Xu Jie spoke first, then looked at his son Xu Fan and said, "Fan'er, tell me, how long will it take for this 'Spiritual Network' to be released?"
"There are many 'Nashi' veins on the moon, enough to support the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the whole world!" Xu Fan took a deep breath, started a conversation, and continued:
"With the current manpower of the Immortal Artifact Pavilion, it is enough to refine a large number of 'Naxian' in a short period of time."
"Also, if we can make a mold specifically for refining 'nanowires', the production speed will be even faster."
"Just like the various types of 'Earth Treasure Wheels' that are used to split rocks and cut through mountains, the 'Heavy Industry Institute' is now able to mass-produce them."
"As for the Image Stone, the requirements for refining it are not high. Just inject it into the magic circle and it can be used after a simple refining."
"As I said before, it's not difficult to take a photo of the tower," Xu Fan said, lowering his head to estimate the time for a moment, then looking up and saying seriously:
"In no more than three years, I am confident that the 'spiritual network' will cover the entire Shuntian Prefecture, half of Ming within ten years, and the entire Ming within twenty years!"
After hearing what Xu Fan said, Xu Jie did not rush to express his opinion, but began to close his eyes and think.
"Tomorrow," after a moment, Xu Jie slowly opened his eyes and said, "This 'Spiritual Network' will definitely attract the covetousness of all parties. And my Xu family cannot monopolize this thing!"
"So, during the Yuxi Palace political meeting tomorrow, I plan to hand it over to everyone and let them fight for it."
"Think of this 'spiritual net' as bait to lure all parties into the trap. Remember to cooperate with your father."
When discussing state affairs with his son and grandson, Xu Jie never beat around the bush, nor did he try to test them. He just spoke directly.
Firstly, they are my own children and grandchildren. They are not qualified politicians and do not have a keen political sense. No matter how much I say, it will be useless. The key is to make things clear.
Secondly, he has now returned to the cabinet and is still the second-in-command. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, so he has plenty of time.
Since his second and third generations are not suitable to take on the responsibility of family development, he will wait until the heir appears!
"Yes, my child understands!"
Hearing what Xu Jie said, Xu Fan nodded in agreement. Although he felt that it would be a pity to hand this thing over, he knew that his father must have his own plans for doing so.
He was not capable of handling the court struggles, so he just needed to do his own job and not cause trouble for his father.
"This 'Spiritual Network' is destined to fail, but I can take this opportunity to make profits for the Xu family..." Xu Jie secretly calculated in his heart.
On this day, everyone who learned that there would be a political meeting in Yuxi Palace tomorrow took action because of the "Spiritual Network" proposed by Xu Fan.
……
There was a patter of snow in the sky.
At three quarters past the hour of Si, Prince Yu, Prince Jing and other cabinet ministers set out one after another.
As noon approached, everyone gathered outside the Yuxi Palace.
"The time has come." Chen Ju opened the door of Yuxi Palace and bowed to everyone, saying, "Your Highnesses, please come in, elders."
Led by the two kings, the ministers filed in and began to pay their respects to Jiajing who was sitting on the throne.
"Your Highness, I bow to you. May your Highness live a long and healthy life." Upon seeing this, Jiajing gently waved his hand and said, "I am fine. Please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After everyone had returned to their seats, Jiajing spoke up, "I heard from Lu Fang about your trip to the moon." After starting the conversation, Jiajing looked at Xu Fan who was standing at the door and said, "Xu Qing is here too, so let's talk."
"Yes!" Xu Fan, dressed in a red official robe, came to the front of the hall with a memorial in his hand and said, "This is the memorial for the 'Spiritual Network Era' that I started drafting more than ten years ago."
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Seeing this, Lu Fang, who was standing by, took the memorial from Xu Fan and handed it to Jiajing.
While Jiajing took the memorial and looked through it with his spiritual sense, Xu Fan also slowly began to talk about the contents of the "Spiritual Network".
Nowadays, the cultivation of all the senior cabinet officials has broken through to the foundation-building stage and possessed spiritual awareness, so they use spiritual awareness to assist when checking memorials and processing official documents.
However, in the court, when reporting to the emperor, everyone still had to prepare a memorial and let the emperor review it.
Moreover, even though they knew that the emperor would be able to see all the contents of the memorial with just a scan using his spiritual sense, everyone still had to speak out.
This is to show respect for the court and the emperor.
All these red tapes are a tacit understanding among all the ministers after they enter the Immortal Dynasty and their cultivation level improves.
Moreover, the Minister of Rites Li Zhi has already begun compiling the court etiquette of the Xian Dynasty, and these will become rules that must be followed in the future.
Well, the only things that could make Li Zhi, the most rebellious person who disliked being bound by rules, start to make up rules in a strict and meticulous manner were political achievements and imperial rewards.
In the era of cultivating immortals, it can be said that all officials in the court regarded political achievements as more important than their own lives.
After all, political achievements mean more immortal rewards and gifts for cultivation. Even if you can't use them yourself, you can give them to your family's descendants. After all, it concerns the family for generations to come!
All I can say is that Li Zhi, this heretic, has become the person he hated the most in the past.
"Therefore, with the foundation of the current spiritual energy industrial era," Xu Fan quickly finished describing the concept and construction of the 'spiritual network', and finally concluded: "I dare to guarantee that the spiritual network will cover the entire Yingtian Prefecture within three years and the entire northern Zhili within six years."
"It will take ten years to cover more than half of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and twenty years to cover the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
As Xu Fan finished speaking, the entire Yuxi Palace fell into a brief silence. Everyone's eyes were on Jiajing, who was sitting on the throne, flipping through the memorial, waiting for the emperor's judgment.
"Snap." Without making everyone wait for long, Jiajing gently closed the memorial, then looked around at everyone, taking in everyone's expressions, and finally set his eyes on Yan Song.
At this time, old man Yan Song was sitting by the stove with his head lowered, still looking like a drowsy old man.
"Does Lord Yan have anything to say?" Jiajing was too lazy to delve into the fact that his subjects, even though their cultivation had reached the foundation-building stage, still maintained their previous mortal behavior.
This old fellow Yan Song likes to disguise himself, so let him continue to disguise himself. As long as it does not affect the court affairs, let him do as he pleases.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiajing's words, Yan Song immediately raised his head. He no longer looked like he was dozing off, but more energetic than a young man.
"Your Majesty," he slowly stood up from the small stool, then bowed his hands and looked up and said, "I think that the 'Spiritual Network' proposed by Lu Qing is indeed beneficial to the country and the people."
"If it can cover the entire Ming Dynasty, then all the imperial decrees can reach every citizen in an instant."
"If the superiors follow suit, the court and the people will be of one mind, know each other well, and the subjects will be united. This is truly a great blessing."
Whenever this old fellow Yan Song opens his mouth, he always gives people a happy feeling of whitewashing the truth.
Gao Gong and others expressed disdain for this, Xu Jie had long been immune to it, and Chen Hong remained expressionless as he had been keeping a low profile for all these years.
However, everyone present understood that Yan Song would never let the spiritual network fall into the hands of the Xu family, and the real knife was still behind.
"However," As expected, what he thought came true. Yan Song had just finished talking about the benefits of the Spiritual Network when he changed the subject and said, "We should not be too optimistic about the 'Spiritual Network'."
"After all, if any information is transmitted too quickly and too much is known, there will always be people who cannot distinguish between what is right and what is wrong."
"Add to that the promotion of the national policy of 'innovation and enlightenment', and the people's minds will be enlightened and liberated. As a result, it is inevitable that some rumors will appear, and even slander the court!"
Hearing this, anyone who didn't want to see the Xu family get better couldn't help but curl the corners of their mouth slightly.
They naturally also took into consideration the biggest drawback of the "Spiritual Network" raised by Yan Song, and this was their greatest reliance for their confidence in seizing the "Spiritual Network".
Even if he cannot become the true controller of the "Spiritual Network", he will never allow it to fall into the hands of the Xu family.
Among all the people present, Prince Yu and Prince Jing were undoubtedly the most confident that they could seize the spiritual network.
There is a popular saying since ancient times: It is more difficult to guard against the people's mouths than to guard against the river, and he who wins the hearts of the people will win the world.
Therefore, once the "Spiritual Network" is mastered, it means mastering the world's public opinion. What a powerful weapon!
Therefore, my father would never hand over such a thing to his subjects easily. The most likely possibility is that he would hand it over to the prince.
Before this, news came from the palace that the emperor had not given up on the two of them and that they would become the crown prince in the future.
Regardless of whether this news was a balancing act played by the emperor father, at least the two of them were nominally qualified to fight for the world. Naturally, they should also take over this "spiritual network".
"What Lord Yan said is correct," Jiajing nodded, and then said, "Since Lord Yan pointed out the problem, then there must be a solution."
"Yes," Yan Song cupped his hands and said, "I think it would be better to set up a special management office under the Ministry of Works."
"After all, in addition to the 'One Pavilion and Two Courts', the Ministry of Industry now also has the 'Tao Pavilion', which is specifically responsible for 'Xiangui' matters."
"Therefore, I suggest that we set up a 'Spiritual Network Department' under the Ministry of Industry to be responsible for matters related to the 'Spiritual Network'."
"That's right," Yan Song paused, smiled, and said, "Didn't the Ministry of Justice also issue a new road law specifically for the 'Dao Ge'? This 'Spiritual Network' must also have special laws."
"I don't know, what does the emperor think?"
Set up a special management office? After hearing Yan Song's suggestion, everyone began to guess what Yan Song meant.
From these words, they heard a lot of useful information, that is, Yan Song actually did not intend to fight for the "Spiritual Network"?
In fact, there is nothing wrong with setting up a special management office, but everyone knows that the Ministry of Industry is currently under the control of the Xu family.
At this time, putting it under the Ministry of Industry, isn't this clearly telling everyone that the Yan family has no intention of fighting for it?
Everyone can see the importance of the "Spiritual Network", but Yan Song can't see it? Will the Yan family give up such a piece of fat meat?
Almost at the same time, everyone felt that Yan Song must have other plans, and they couldn't help but start thinking about it.
"Tell me what you think about the spiritual network." Jiajing changed into a comfortable posture and looked at everyone.
Lu Fang on the side also looked like he was enjoying the show.
He knew that once this "spiritual network" came out, today's political meeting in Yuxi Palace would be exceptionally lively, and it turned out to be true.
Although Yan Song looked like he had no intention of fighting at the moment, he was actually the first one to make a move.
"Your Majesty," Xu Jie was the first to step forward and said, "I think that what Lord Yan said about setting up a special management office to be responsible for the 'Spiritual Network' is very necessary, but..."
“This management office is not suitable to be placed under the Ministry of Industry.”
Hearing this, Jiajing did not say anything, but signaled Xu Jie to continue with his eyes.
"First of all, the Ministry of Industry already has 'two cabinets and two houses' under its command, so it is inappropriate to lead a cabinet."
"Secondly, if this 'spiritual network' covers the entire Ming Dynasty, it will appear similar to 'official newspapers' and 'miscellaneous newspapers'. Its main function is to transmit information to the people of the world and help them understand the imperial court's policies."
"In essence, it also belongs to the category of 'miscellaneous newspapers'." Xu Jie took a deep breath and said, "Therefore, this 'spiritual network' should be managed by the Tongzhengsi."
"Or it may be under the management of the 'Inspectorate'."
"After all, Lord Yan also said that this 'spiritual network' has both advantages and disadvantages and does need strict supervision."
"And if it is placed in the Ministry of Industry, it really doesn't make sense."
The first confrontation between Xu Jie, the second-in-command of the cabinet, and Xu Jie, since being demoted and returning to the cabinet, was made.
At the same time, through this confrontation between Yan Song and Xu Jie, everyone seemed to understand something.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that although the "Spiritual Network" was a good thing, it was also a hot potato.
No matter which side it falls into, it will inevitably become a thorn in everyone's eyes and will inevitably become everyone's target of attack.
Obviously, Yan Song and Xu Jie both understood this.
Yan Song wanted to throw the "spiritual net" to Xu Jie, and then wait until Xu Jie became the target of everyone's attack, and then reap the benefits.
Now everyone in the court knows that the heads of the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Public Security are all core figures of the Yan Party, and Xu Jie has the same idea as Yan Song.
For a moment, everyone else became cautious.
It is indeed not a wise move to fight for the "Spiritual Network" at this time.
At this time, Gao Gong coughed lightly, turned his head slightly, and gave a look to Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Zhenji beside him. The two of them understood instantly.
Although they also want to take control of the "Spiritual Network" in their own hands, considering that this thing is a hot potato, they have a new target. Isn't this an opportunity for revenge?
They did not forget that when it came not to their interests, Xu Jie was their enemy.
Although Yan Song is also an enemy, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. At this time, they would rather lend a helping hand to Yan Song.
"Your Majesty," Gao Gong glanced at Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Zhenji, gave them a look that said "come on together", then took a step forward and said, "I think what Lord Yan said is very true."
"After all, the 'Spiritual Network' is just being finalized, so it is better to put it under the Ministry of Industry for the time being, so as to facilitate its maintenance at any time."
"If there is a problem, the Ministry of Industry can handle it immediately and compile all the problems into a book to facilitate subsequent maintenance by the management office. Therefore, this 'spiritual network' should be placed under the Ministry of Industry!"
"I agree with Lord Yan's opinion," Gao Gong finished speaking, and Zhang Juzheng also stepped forward and said, "After all, the 'Spiritual Network' has just been established, and it still needs some time to observe. After it becomes stable, it will be reasonable to decide whether to set up a separate management office!"
"I second the motion!" Zhao Zhenji also spoke up.
No one present was surprised that Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Zhenji suddenly supported Yan Song. After all, they had a grudge against Xu Jie, and how could they miss this opportunity to take advantage of his misfortune?
When Yan Shifan saw these three bastards who had always been against his Yan family, he felt that they were particularly pleasing to the eye today.
Thinking of this, Yan Shifan didn't intend to hold it back any longer. He gave Hu Zongxian a look, took a step forward, and said, "I also agree that the 'Spiritual Network' should indeed be placed under the Ministry of Industry first."
"Your Majesty, Hu Zongxian, second the motion!" Hu Zongxian was no longer silent.
When it comes to party strife in the imperial court, you must be decisive when it comes to taking sides!
"Father," Prince Yu also stood up, bowed to Jiajing, and said, "I also agree with Lord Yan's proposal."
"Your Majesty, I, Wang Chonggu, also agree with Lord Yan's proposal." When Wang Chonggu saw Prince Yu speak, he immediately followed suit.
King Jing saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up, a smile flashed in his eyes, he stood up and bowed, saying: "Your son also reconsiders."
"I second the motion!" Yu Dayou grinned when he saw King Jing speak, and also bowed his hands to stand in line. Well, his acting skills were really poor, and his face was full of the expression of watching the fun and not minding the big things.
"Hmph, interesting." At the side of the Imperial Household Department, Chen Hong looked at Xu Jie and his son in the hall, who looked like enemies everywhere, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Huang Jin, who was standing behind Chen Hong, shook his head slightly when he saw this. Being a loyal man, he just felt that Lord Xu was too miserable. However, he had no right to speak here, and he didn't intend to say anything.
As for Shi San, apart from being a little surprised at the scene before him, he did not have any extra expression.
In the main hall, Xu Fan faced the Second Wang, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji, all of whom, together with Yan Song, stood against his father and added insult to injury to the Xu family. His face suddenly turned ashen.
He just felt extremely depressed.
It was obviously he who proposed the "Spiritual Network", and in the future he would have to build it himself and spread it throughout the Ming Dynasty.
But they had to face the competition from everyone. His father saw that the "Spiritual Network" was a hot potato and the Xu family could not keep it, so he wanted to give it away. However, this group of people still did not intend to let the Xu family go.
Do they have to wait until the Xu family is destroyed because of the "Spiritual Network" before they give up?
However, compared to Xu Fan's depression and hatred, Xu Jie seemed to have anticipated this and remained calm.
Of course, Yan Song, who seemed to be supported by a large group of people at the moment, did not show much emotional fluctuation in his expression due to his familiarity with this old rival and his understanding of the emperor.
He knew that the final decision would be made by the emperor.
Now a group of people are following him and want to push the hot potato of "Spiritual Network" to Xu Jie. Will the emperor let one party dominate?
Therefore, the final result is most likely that the "Spiritual Network" will not belong to any party, but a separate management office will be established.
Sure enough, sitting on the throne, looking at the current situation in the cabinet, a smile appeared in Jiajing's eyes. Now that everyone has taken sides, it is his turn to make the final judgment.
"What you said makes sense," Jiajing said slowly, "Putting it in the Inspectorate or the Tongzhengsi will not be able to manage the 'Spiritual Network' in the first place. Putting it in the Ministry of Works..."
At this point, Jiajing paused for a moment, and then continued: "The Ministry of Works already has 'two cabinets and two courts' under its command. Adding another cabinet, and also taking care of the responsibilities of supervision, the government affairs will be too heavy."
"Now the most important thing for our Ming Dynasty is to put the 'Aura Industrial Age' first."
"In that case, why don't we make the 'Spiritual Network Department' proposed by Lord Yan independent and name it 'Spiritual Network Division' and have someone special in charge of it?" He said, looking at Yan Song:
"Just follow the Tongzhengsi system and allow for additional positions to be added as needed."
"After that, we will draft a memorial and submit it. Once the Imperial Household Department has reviewed it and found no problems, it can be approved."
Hearing this, Yan Song nodded and said, "I obey your order."
This result was not surprising to him at all, as he knew that the Emperor would pull out the "Spiritual Net" alone.
Thinking of this, Yan Song glanced at Xu Jie, who had a calm expression, and understood that he thought the same thing.
However, as for the internal positions of the "Spiritual Network Bureau", that was when the real fighting started among all parties.
"As for the 'Spiritual Network'," Jiajing turned his gaze to Xu Fan and said, "We will start to build the 'Spiritual Network' starting tomorrow."
"I will give you twenty years to complete the coverage of the 'Spiritual Network' across the entire Ming Dynasty. Is it possible?"
Although he was upset at the targeting, he realized that the emperor was fair after all. Xu Fan immediately said gratefully, "I obey your command!"
"Okay, everyone leave." After saying that, Jiajing waved his hand and stood up. With everyone's respectful farewell, he went to the side hall.
Up to this point, no one has figured out who owns the "Spiritual Network", but everyone has turned their attention to the "Spiritual Network Division".
Next, it’s time to place people in the “Spiritual Network Department”.
"The bait has fallen, and we just have to wait for the fish to take the bait." After taking in the expressions of the crowd, Xu Jie left with the support of Xu Fan.
Isn't this the scene he wanted?
"..."
