Chapter 6: Follow Me
Chen Wenhui was very happy in her heart, yesterday, she had a hunch that this Yan Shupeng should be a talent, so Chen Wenhui asked Zhao Chongyi to take the initiative to get to know Yan Shupeng.
Sure enough, after today's conversation, Chen Wenhui found that Yan Shupeng not only did not disappoint her, but also gave her a surprise. It's definitely a business genius, and it's a matter of practical experience. After asking, I found out that he had been working in the field with his father since he was a teenager and helping his father. His father's position as a assassin was not obtained for nothing, but he came from the position of county commander step by step. It has been up and down in the sea for more than 20 years before it has today's achievements.
Among them, Yan Shupeng has been helping his father for more than ten years. Therefore, when it comes to the way of management, his theory is also very correct, and his practical experience is also very rich, which is really a big surprise.
Chen Wenhui is not short of power now, the Xiao Chen family is in full swing, the queen of the dynasty is her aunt, and the future queen is her hall sister. The future emperor was single-handedly raised by their Xiao Chen family, and she was already the governor of Nanyang, with four cities under her command and tens of thousands of soldiers. Of course, the last thing she lacks is money, and now money is just a number for her. However, there is one thing she lacks very much, and that is talent.
Now Chen Wenhui's stall is too big, four cities, how many officials, each city needs people to sit in the town, and she also has her own industry, Baojingfang, bank, which all need to be managed. Not to mention this, right now, she is about to go to the northwest, but her subordinates don't have effective manpower yet, can this not make her anxious? in the South Seas. All the qiē can be carried out in an orderly manner, thanks to Wan Shuhui. However, Wan Shuhui's burden is too heavy now. The four cities in Nanyang alone are enough for her to manage, and she has to take care of the bank, so it is impossible to accompany her to the northwest anymore. So what does she do?
This question has always bothered her, but Chen Wenhui now sees hope. I didn't expect that on the first day I came to Qingyang City, she would pick up a talent, and after today's conversation, Chen Wenhui even had the idea of keeping Yan Shupeng by her side.
Yan Shupeng talked about this. I also admire Chen Wenhui. Before. These theories of his have always been just pondered by himself, and occasionally when he talks to the Confucian scholars around him, he will be reprimanded by the Confucian scholars as fallacies and heresies. But. Today. He can speak his mind. Tell all the ideas in your heart, this Wenhui county lord is still a woman at a young age. can understand them all, not to mention, Chen Wenhui also said some of his thoughts during the conversation, and those thoughts surprised Yan Shupeng, he seemed to have opened a door, and he used to be groping outside the gate alone. However, Chen Wenhui's incisive insight, like a guide, led him to the front of this gate at once, and pushed open the gate, revealing a magical scenery inside, it turned out that this aspect was so broad and profound, so useful.
Yan Shupeng even had an idea that if Chen Wenhui was a Confucian student, even if he was younger than him, he would have intended to worship her as a teacher and continue to study with her. It's a pity that Chen Wenhui is not only younger than him, but also a woman, so this idea had to be extinguished.
At this time, Chen Wenhui suddenly said: "Yan Gongzi, although we are only talking for the first time, I appreciate your talent very much. What do I have to say. I have a build for you. ”
Yan Shupeng hurriedly said, "Please ask the county lord for advice." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "You just said that you have taken the Jinshi exam several times, but you are all named Sun Shan, I don't know if you are going to continue the exam or come out as a lifter?" If you're willing to come out as a lifter, I'd like you to help me. There are also two paths for you to choose from on my side. You know that. I am the governor of Nanyang, and I am in charge of several cities in Nanyang. Some time ago, the emperor just approved me to build a new fourth city, and I have already given it a name. I came to Jiangnan this time to recruit people. Chongyi was not at the inn at this time, because he went to discuss with your father and some officials from Qingyang City how to operate this matter. Now it is a good time for our Nanyang to develop, not only lack of people, but also lack of herdsmen officials. If you are willing to go out, you can go to one of my four cities in Nanyang, and I can give you a good official position. ”
As soon as she said this, Chen Wenhui was still very calm, but Huang Yuyan on the side was already surprised. Chen Wenhui has never seen such a side. Although I know that Chen Wenhui is no longer the little girl she was back then, she has made a huge name, and she has also established several cities in Nanyang, and she is already a famous figure in Dachu, but it is one thing to hear about it, and it is another thing to meet. In Huang Yuyan's world, no girl has such courage, such an atmosphere, she is in contact with the ladies who appreciate flowers, drink tea, and embroider, and occasionally a few will be in charge of housework, which is already highly respected, for example, her mother, who takes care of the house well, so her reputation is far and wide.
But these people are far behind Chen Wenhui, Chen Wenhui is atmospheric, it is an atmosphere that has been detached from the atmosphere of the boudoir, this kind of demeanor, she has also seen in her father. That is the bearing of the superior person, and it is the majesty of the superior person. But this qiē appeared on Chen Wenhui, a beautiful woman, which really made Huang Yuyan's heart set off shocking waves. Compared with this, Chen Wenhui asked Yan Shupeng to go to Nanyang to be an official.
Yan Shupeng's heart also began to churn. It's not that the family didn't think about letting him fail the guò jinshi exam and enter the career as a lifter. But without the identity of a jinshi, being an official will always be criticized by scholars all over the world, and without the identity of a jinshi, you can only start to be an official from the eighth or seventh grade. Unlike Jinshi, he was a sixth-grade official from the beginning, and basically after entering the Hanlin Academy, he would automatically become an official of the fifth-grade in two or three years. However, what about lifting people, from the eighth grade to the fifth grade, it may be a lifetime.
Of course, there are differences. For example, Chen Yuanheng is a person, he also entered the career by lifting people, but he is a child of the Chen family, so from the beginning, he did not enter the eighth grade, but the seventh grade. Not to mention, every time he advances, he is not a first-level advance, but a two-level advance. Ordinary people should not fantasize about taking this path, because Chen Yuanheng is a member of the Chen family, and his sister is the queen's mother. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was brought out by him.
However, at this moment, Chen Wenhui told him that he could go to Nanyang to become an official, and the official position he was given would not be low. In the land south of the Yangtze River, many people go to Nanyang to seek a living. There are people who go to Nanyang to invest, some who go to Nanyang to settle down, and some who go to Nanyang to take refuge, and there are rumors every day. Yan Shupeng thought that he knew some things about Nanyang, and knew that if Chen Wenhui was given the official position of Nanyang, he should have been the official position of Zhengwupin from the beginning. This is a treatment that even Jinshi does not have. However, that official position is the official position of Nanyang, strictly speaking, the official position of the Xiao Chen family, not the official position of Da Chu.
Therefore, Yan Shupeng hesitated.
Chen Wenhui took in all the qiē, she didn't want to get Yan Shupeng to Nanyang. There's already Wan Shuhui there. She continued: "If you don't want to go to the South Seas. I have one more way to go here. ”
Yan Shupeng looked up at Chen Wenhui.
Chen Wenhui said: "The emperor and the crown prince feel that although the war in the northwest is over, the imperial court's rule over the northwest is still weak. If it is not well managed, a nation as powerful as the barbarians will rise at any time, and it will continue to threaten our dynasty in the Central Plains. So, they needed someone who could help them stabilize the northwest. Now, the emperor and the crown prince are willing to me and Chongyi to do this. That's why we will take a vacation and let us do our own things, but when we wait until the spring of next year, Chongyi and I will go to the northwest. At that time, Chongyi may be the highest official in the northwest, and has the right to appoint and dismiss all officials. If you have the heart, you can go with us to run the northwest, and we can also give you an official position, but you can't start from the fifth grade, you have to start from the sixth grade. ”
The position of Zhengliupin, this is also the level that only Jinshi has. Directly from the six products, there is really no need to take the Jinshi exam. Besides, Yan Shupeng knows that he is talented, but this talent is not about Confucian knowledge, and it is really difficult to say whether he can be admitted to Jinshi.
Yan Shupeng was moved by Chen Wenhui's words. You don't have to go to the Jinshi exam, you can go directly to the office, and the place you go to is the northwest. is not to be an ordinary official, but to carry out a great deed, when I think of the vast world in the northwest, the bold folk customs, that is where men make meritorious contributions.
Yan Shupeng was really tempted. But this matter is too big, he is not alone, he has parents, a family, a wife and children, and he needs to discuss it with his family. In fact, in his heart, he has already agreed a thousand times, ten thousand times.
Chen Wenhui still said calmly: "This is a big deal, I don't need you to reply now." Actually, even if you reject me, it's no problem. Anyway, your Yan family is already a subsidiary family of our Xiao Chen family, and after you become a leader in the future, you will also serve my Xiao Chen family. However, I want to get your talent sooner rather than later. You can go back and discuss it with your family. ”
Yan Shupeng hurriedly said, "Thank you, the county lord, for looking up to me." This is indeed a big deal, shall I reply to the county lord in three days? ”
Chen Wenhui was very satisfied with Yan Shupeng's attitude and said, "Okay, it's decided." I hope you can come and talk to us as a couple when you have nothing to do these days. ”
Yan Shupeng hurriedly agreed. Chen Wenhui didn't have anything to say when she saw it, so she served tea and sent it off.
After sending Yan Shupeng away, Chen Wenhui said to Huang Yuyan on the side: "Can you go back after dinner with me?" (To be continued......)
