Chapter 248 You Too
In the afternoon, it had been five hours since Ye Fan's order came out, and many people came one after another in the lobby.
Ye Fan didn't speak, he just stood in the middle of the hall and looked at the visitors quietly. Wu Jingtian and Chen Peng stood aside like a security guard.
The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing. No one spoke. Some people who wanted to say hello to Ye Fan were only waved down and silenced.
Unexpectedly, many people came. In just a few hours, almost half and nearly two hundred people had arrived.
It was obvious that these people had factions. There were many of them, each with their own faction. There were more than a dozen teams standing in one hall.
"It's quite messy."
Squinting his eyes, Ye Fan slowly raised the corners of his mouth. After waiting for a few minutes, he watched the clock on the wall reach six o'clock and stood up.
"Zhao Yi, go and close the door."
"Okay." Zhao Yi replied, looking at the team where some people were still absent, hesitating a little, obviously thinking of what Ye Fan said before.
But after all, he is just a small hall master, and Zhao Yi is still the kind of cunning person who has not joined any family. At this moment, he does not dare to say anything and can only close the door.
"There are 216 people in total, not bad, 70% attendance rate." Ye Fan spoke up at this moment, sitting on the chair, looking at the people in front of him, slightly silent, and then he just said to Chen Peng beside him, " Sign the list for them, and if they don’t show up, just cross them off.”
"Those who didn't come today will no longer be members of the military department from now on."
Chen Peng nodded. He was the only one among the few who followed Ye Fan to Nange City. He was older and much calmer and more determined. At this moment, he received Ye Fan's order and just walked towards those people with a famous ticket.
"Minister, I don't think this is appropriate." Before a few people had signed the list, suddenly, someone raised his hand.
"What's wrong?" Hearing this, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at the man.
"The minister came in a hurry today, and the notice was also a little hasty. Some people may have urgent matters and cannot return. It would be too unkind to deduct their positions in the military department." The man replied, "I think the minister can ask. Why didn’t those people come? If they really despise the minister, they can be fired.”
"It's unfair to kill him with a stick like this."
When the voice fell, there was some silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Mark.
Obviously, this is a hidden sentence, and it is nothing more than a test of Ye Fan's confidence and attitude.
"Well, that makes sense." Mark also surprised these people. He just smiled and nodded, "What you said makes sense."
"The minister is wise." The person who spoke spoke, with a casual sneer on his face.
A little brat fell for his own tricks casually, said something so powerful and then turned around and regretted it. What kind of prestige did he want to establish?
"What's your name and what's your position?" The man was still laughing, but Ye Fan spoke slowly.
This question seemed to play into the man's hands. He raised his head slightly and seemed to be a little satisfied, "My name is Ji Gongming. My current position is the Master of Qianji Pavilion in the Ministry of Military Affairs. I am responsible for handling some intelligence gathering in Nange City and the exchange of information between various ministries. such as."
"Ji Gongming, are you from the Ji family?" Ye Fan asked after hearing this.
"Yes, my family is a branch of the Ji family of the Eight Great Families in Nange City. Strictly speaking, it is a collateral bloodline." Ji Gongming replied.
"That's good." Ye Fan nodded, then, with his eyes raised, he looked at Ji Gongming with a smile and said, "You have been expelled from the Ministry of Military Affairs."
When the voice fell, Ji Gongming was stunned for a moment with his light words. The next moment, his expression turned ugly, and the expressions of everyone present changed even more.
"Minister, what do you mean by delisting just now?" Ji Gongming said, seemingly in disbelief.
"Didn't I make it clear enough? Removal means resignation. You can also understand it as dismissal." Ye Fan replied, just speaking coldly.
"As for you, there's nothing much to say. If you contradict the minister, you'll be removed from my post."
Ji Gongming naturally did not expect such a scene. He was startled and said with a smile, "Minister... you are too overbearing. Even if I didn't say it right just now, you can't just say it." Let me be removed."
"There is no such law in Nange City to expel others at will."
"There seems to be no law in Nange City that prohibits me from firing others at will."
Ye Fan asked back, but just sneered, "Okay, today is a meeting of the Ministry of Armed Forces. Since you have been removed from the list, you can leave now."
"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell the governor and let him come and talk to me."
Hearing this, Ji Gongming became very angry. He looked at Mark and exhaled several times before calming down.
"Minister, what a great official power."
After saying that, Ji Gongming turned around and left. When he left, he closed the door heavily with a bang, which seemed to shock many people.
Ye Fan didn't care, looked at the group of people in front of him, and smiled again.
"Does anyone else have any objections to my decision?"
The hall was silent, and the leader was shot. Seeing that Ye Fan did not hesitate to let Ji Gongming bastard, at this moment, everyone felt a sense of vigilance in their hearts.
Obviously, this minister is really not easy to deal with.
"Since no one is talking, I'll assume you have no objection." After waiting for a few seconds, Ye Fan spoke again, took a look at the attendance list that Chen Peng brought over, and casually scanned it, "Who are the Pavilion Masters on this list?"
"There's me." "And me."
Several people responded, basically those at the front of the team, a total of fourteen people, three of whom were surnamed Ji, one surnamed Sun, and there were also a few less famous people such as Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang.
"What are your respective responsibilities? Tell me about your political achievements in the past year." Ye Fan said.
When these people said this, their faces looked a little strange.
Everyone came to the Ministry of War to eat empty salaries and did not do anything at all. At this moment, Ye Fan asked, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Hesitantly, each of them said a few vague words, which were nothing more than protecting the safety of Nange City and safeguarding the interests of the Ministry of War.
After hearing the last part, Ye Fan just snorted, "You Pavilion Masters, who are in high positions and have great power, have such a heavy annual salary, but you only do such a small thing?"
After the voice fell, Ye Fan did not say anything else. He glanced at the few people with strange expressions and waved his hand.
"Okay, I called you here today not to hold you accountable. I saw that the military department is too chaotic and there are too many idle people. The governor asked me to come here, and he must want me to make some changes. As a minister, I naturally cannot live up to the governor's trust."
"I won't attack you randomly, but from today, I will give you two months. You will take your subordinates and do what you can, whether it is to maintain public order, to help the other six departments, or to go to the secret realm."
After these words came out, these Pavilion Masters did not react much. After a while of silence, one of them said, "What does promotion mean, Pavilion Master, it seems It is already the highest position in the Ministry of War..."
"It will not be in the future." Ye Fan shook his head, "I will set up four military departments to manage the corresponding matters. Those who are promoted will be the leaders of these four military departments."
"The treatment is the sum of the treatment of more than ten pavilion masters divided by four."
"The treatment of the pavilion masters who have not been promoted..."
"If you have not been promoted, it means that your achievements are not good. If your achievements are not good, what kind of pavilion master are you?"
Ye Fan answered, but his tone was a little cold, "In the future, there will be no more pavilion masters."
When the voice fell, everyone was stunned. At this time, they understood Ye Fan's idea.
He directly attacked the top level and let these people fight for it themselves.
"If there is no problem, do it." Ye Fan waved his hand without giving these people a chance to say more, "This is the only thing today."
Everyone was hesitating, especially the pavilion masters, who wanted to say something, but perhaps because of Ji Gongming, everyone was silent for a while, and finally just left sparsely.
A group of people left one after another, and when they reached the door, perhaps thinking of something, he looked back and muttered quietly.
"This minister is so overbearing, where does he get the confidence from?"
"He made such a big fuss just after arriving, he will have a hard time later."
Before the voice fell, Ye Fan's voice sounded in the lobby.
"The one who just spoke, your name is Yin San, right? You have also been expelled from the military department."
"...Help!!"
