Chapter 462: Zhang Liang, Out of the Mountain!
Zhang Liang's mansion is located in the new city, and many officials have moved in today.
It wasn't far from the new palace, just less than three hundred paces.
It covers an area of twenty acres.
Above the door, there is a huge plaque with three large gilt characters written on it.
Liuhou Mansion!
Of course, it doesn't matter if it's gilded or not, it's said to be gilding, but it's not really gold.
The handwriting is not pretty.
Of course, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, what matters is who writes those three words.
That's right, these three words are from Wang Buxing's handwriting.
This is also the only plaque with the inscription of Wang Buxing, the kind that others can't envy even if they are envious.
The emperor is coming, so naturally he will not attack suddenly.
But the rules and etiquette can't be like ordinary people, go to the report first, and wait for the host to reply to the agreed time.
It was very simple for Wang Buyi to come if he was not hungry, Zhang Buyi directly asked the forbidden army to report, and then Zhang Liang hurriedly asked people to open the door and stood at the door and waited.
At this time, even if there are guests at home, the guests must be allowed to leave first, and the emperor will be receiving the guests after the reception.
"Grass people Zhang Liang, welcome Your Majesty......" Seeing that Wang was not hungry, Zhang Liang hurriedly came to the bottom of the steps outside the door.
He was followed by his son, wife, daughter-in-law, and even his little grandchildren.
And then there are the servants of the house.
"Alright, I'm a regular visitor, right? You don't have to toss people like this every time! Wang was not hungry and looked at Zhang Liang angrily.
Every time I came, the whole family went out, and the emperor's face was called a full one.
But every time he mentions business, it seems that even if the king of heaven comes, he will not give this face.
After some politeness, everyone entered the house.
The women and their subordinates should do what they should do, and Zhang Liang led his two sons to accompany Wang Bu Hunger.
"How is Zhang Xiang feeling lately?" When he asked this sentence, even Wang Buyu felt very unconfident.
Zhang Liang's morbidity doesn't seem to have changed much, his face is still a little pale, but it seems that his face has always been like this since he knew him.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's care, the grass people feel that their health is fine, but they are easy to get sleepy, and sometimes they are relatively weak......," Zhang Liang responded with a smile, and replied unchanged for thousands of years.
Wang Buxing nodded, as expected, every time he asked this question, Zhang Liang always answered this way, and he didn't even bother to change a word.
This made Wang Buyu feel a strong sense of frustration.
Now he can understand why Zhang Liang was able to live to die naturally.
Retiring at the peak, the emperor always showed the greatest respect every time he came, as if the previous credit was not his.
People sit at home, tease their children and grandchildren every day, occasionally go out to visit, and live a carefree fairy life.
He has great power, but he never talks about what people who don't deserve his current position should talk about.
There is no desire, no want, strict family rules, and people have no temper.
"When the palace is completed next year, the popularity in Luoyang City will almost dissipate by half, and I am deeply worried about this, I don't know if Zhang Xiang has a good plan?" The king was not hungry and no longer deliberately demanded, but began to ask some things as before.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing the grass people can do about this, if they want to solve this problem, there is only time, or there can be some sudden changes!" Zhang Liang thought for a while and said.
Wang Bu was hungry and rolled his eyes, this answer was tantamount to not saying.
Time can solve everything, and if it is not solved, it must be less than time.
The so-called time in Zhang Liang's mouth is actually to wait for the gradual development of industry and commerce in various parts of the Han Dynasty, and then rely on the geographical location of Luoyang to build this place into a hub and transit for the empire, so that people from all over the world can come here to trade.
In this way, Luoyang will naturally prosper.
Now all over the country is still in its infancy, the output is still very low, and the transaction is also sent out by themselves or others to the production area, and it rarely passes through Luoyang.
Only with the passage of time, the output has come up, the variety has increased, and the development of the times is not in line with the development of the times when the goods are pulled to the production area alone, and the status of Luoyang, the hub of transit, will be reflected.
As for the sudden change, it takes an opportunity.
And where is this opportunity, Wang Buxing has not yet been found.
For Zhang Liang, a person with a real talent, just let him be idle at home, Wang is really unbearable, it is too wasteful.
As a traverser, if you let other peers know that you can't even pull Zhang Liang back, how embarrassing it would be?
But Zhang Liang refused to return to Zhongshu Province or hold any position, which made Wang Buxing very mad.
However, every time he asked, Zhang Liang would not hide his personal interests, and the opinions he gave did not have any tendency to go left or right, and they were all given with a neutral attitude.
'Do you want Zhang Liang to be the chief of staff?' The idea suddenly occurred to the king of Bu Hunger.
The role of the staff is actually still very important, and there are also such characters around the emperors in ancient times, but most of them are on the surface, that is, those ministers in the court.
In modern times, it's completely different, and the staff is completely behind the scenes.
Don't look at those people who are inconspicuous, and even most people don't know their names, but often their words can affect the operation of the whole country.
And any big guy will seriously think about the opinions given by these people.
Because the people in this position, they have to give the most pertinent and unbiased opinions.
In layman's terms, this is a group of people who can pull you back on the right path.
Except, of course, understanding the king.
"Zhang Xiang, I want to appoint you as my chief of staff......" Wang Buxing thinks this idea is very good, since Zhang Liang doesn't want to go to the front of the stage, then come behind the scenes.
Anyway, no matter what you do, just don't be idle, although the staff is also very idle, but they will not be idle.
"Your Majesty, the minister's body is really ......" Zhang Liang interrupted Wang Buying's invitation, although he had never heard of the official position of chief of staff, he would definitely not go out of the mountain.
"Zhang Xiang, listen to me!" Wang Buyu also interrupted Zhang Liang's words.
As an emperor, you have almost broken the threshold of your house in the past few years.
Even if Liu Da'er invited Zhuge Liang out of the thatched house, how can he say that he has come thirty times, right?
Even so, I was still not angry.
This time, he's going to use a strong one.
As an emperor, Wang Bu felt that he still needed to take care of his face.
"The duties of this staff don't require you to go to court every day, and you don't need to worry about those political affairs, find some reliable and knowledgeable friends, and find some juniors, such as not suspicious, open up the territory, let them run more, collect some information, or simply take some ready-made information from the scout headquarters, you can talk about these things when you are fine, I am afraid that I will faint sometimes......" Wang Buyu looked at Zhang Liang meaningfully.
and specifically mentioned his two sons, Zhang Budo and Zhang Bijiang.
The implication is already very clear, even if you Zhang Liang want to retire, you always have to think about your son, right?
Both of them are not young, they will be thirty years old soon, and now they are just staying at home and have nothing to do, when you are old, what will your children and grandchildren do?
Although you may be stable now, but what about the future?
Your Zhang family will only get more and more depressed, and then lose all their titles in the end.
Zhang Liang was stunned, and looked at Wang Bu with the same meaning.
The change in Wang Bu's attitude caught him a little off guard, and also because of Wang Bu's change, he was a little flustered.
If Wang Bu was not hungry and still wanted to ask him to serve as the Zhongshu Order, then Zhang Liang would definitely refuse as tactfully as before.
But the emperor has changed his attitude now, and if you are not in good health, then you don't have to manage the government.
If you have worries in your heart, then now I will give you a place where you will not be worried.
The role of this chief of staff is actually what he is doing now, but he has added a name.
And Wang Buxing specially mentioned his two sons, which made Zhang Liang no longer treat this matter with the same attitude as before.
The eldest son, Zhang Budo, although he didn't say it, Zhang Liang also knew how much he envied Zhang Buyi, whose name was only one word different from him.
And Zhang Liang also mentioned more than once at home that Zhang Buyi was a smart person, which also aroused his son's envy.
At this moment, Zhang Liang's heart was a little bitter that could not be explained.
Yes, even if it's not for yourself, you can't always press your son's future.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the official position of this chief of staff is?" Zhang Liang asked.
"There is no grade, there is no limit to personnel, you, the chief of staff, will pay 2,000 stones, and you will decide the people below." A smile finally appeared on Wang Buxing's face, and Zhang Liang was finally moved by what he said.
Two thousand stones, this is the highest salary among Han officials, although those bigwigs can get more than two thousand stones a year.
However, the maximum salary for a single position is 2,000 stones, and the rest cannot be said to be a salary, but a subsidy for the title.
"Your Majesty, this position has been taken over by the minister, but the formation of the staff cannot be completed overnight, and the minister needs time to prepare." Zhang Liang looked at Wang Bu Hungry seriously.
"I naturally know this, you don't have to worry, in the new palace, I will leave you an office, no matter how many people there are at that time, move in first, and then look for it slowly, rather than overuse." Wang Buxing smiled and nodded, his thoughts were clear, and he was finally comfortable now.
"Your Majesty, there is another condition for the minister......
"Zhang Xiang, please speak!"
Zhang Liang stretched out his hand and pointed to his two sons and said, "Where should the two of them go?" What is the position? The minister doesn't want to care, and please don't interfere with Your Majesty, where can the two of them go in the future, the minister hopes to be able to rely on themselves, not the minister. ”
Wang Bu was a little surprised, but he also felt that it was normal, the current Zhang Liang and some old people in the founding of the country in later generations have the same thoughts, their own descendants, if they have the ability, they will go up, and if they don't have the ability, get down and don't go to occupy the pit and not.
Some people may not understand, but as everyone knows, this is the most powerful protection for future generations.
"I agreed, don't doubt go to the Ministry of Commerce, start from the grassroots level, follow Tian Dan to run around, open up Xinjiang and go to Menxia Province, and also start from the grassroots level!" Wang Bu was not hungry and directly made arrangements for the two, then looked at Zhang Liang, then looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "In the future, I hope that others will point to you and say that Zhang Liang is your father, not that others will point to you and say that you are Zhang Liang's son!" ”
