Speaking of this, Huang Qiong paused for a moment, and looked at Commander Yu Du's plan for him, and looked a little dumbfounded: "You don't have to think too much, it's not that this king deliberately wants to dig the foot of the wall of the Xiao cavalry camp, but the local guards are really rotten at the moment." No matter how many officials are substituted from other places on Henan Road, I'm afraid it's all a pile of mud. ”

"Here in Zhengzhou, there is really no room for tossing. If there is a change in Zhengzhou, it must be suppressed at the first time. There are a large number of elite soldiers in the cavalry battalion, and if you don't want the reorganized guards to rot, you can only draw them from you. I also hope that when recommended by adults, don't hide or tuck. Although it may not be possible to have elite soldiers, strong generals must be wanted."

After that, Huang Qiong turned his head to Su Changshi and said, "Master Su, this time this king promoted you to the prefect of Zhengzhou, and he also used his life to guarantee you. After you arrive in Zhengzhou, when you deal with government affairs, you must uphold the heart of serving the people. This king sends you a word, the people are not afraid of my strictness, but of my incorruptibility. The officials are not afraid of my strictness, but of my father. The public is clear, and the honest is powerful. ”

However, you should also remember the truth that the water is clear and there are no fish. Remember to manage relationships with colleagues and superiors, and don't overdo everything. If you want to really do things for the people, you have to sit firmly in your position first. If you can't be an official for a few days, and you will be excluded by your colleagues and can't do it anymore, how can you still serve as an official and benefit one party? ”

"You are from two Jinshi backgrounds, there are some truths that don't need to be said by this king, you should also understand. Books are meant to be read, but it is better to believe in books than to have no books at all. Reading is for the sake of understanding, for the purpose of knowing all things, not for the sake of reading one's own brain. To be honest, I'm not too worried about your integrity. What I'm worried about is your temperament, and it will be difficult to integrate into the officialdom of Henan. ”

"That's all I can say to you. More, you need to understand it yourself. However, there is a sentence that this king should say or say, after you arrive in Zhengzhou, let go and do it boldly, and this king will bear everything for you. I still have some things to discuss with Master Yu, you go back first and think about it, how to do it after you arrive in Zhengzhou, and you also have to come up with a charter. ”

After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Su Changshi, who was deep in thought, glanced at the commander of Yu Du over there, bowed deeply to Huang Qiong and turned to leave. Looking at his back, Yu Du shook his head and sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of England is kind-hearted, but he just recommended this person to be the prefect of Zhengzhou, and I don't know if it fulfilled him or harmed him." ”

"This Su Changshi in your house, I heard about him when I was in the border army. The character is there, and it is not bad, but this temper and personality are really too headaches. In fact, to be an official, especially the head of a place like him now, in addition to learning to control the people around him and below, there is also a key point, that is, to learn to deal with colleagues. ”

"If you don't learn how to get along with your colleagues, you really can't be an official. In fact, when the lower officials were just starting out, they were the same as him. Because he entered the rank of scholar at a young age, he was also full of pride. As a result, after the end of the six ministries, others either stayed in the six ministries, or were distributed to various political envoys, envoys, and transfer envoys to serve in the yamen. ”

"In the same year of my batch, I was the only one who was assigned to Xichuan Road. It's not because of anything else, it's because the temper is too bad and offends people who shouldn't be offended. It is said that there is a shortage of a magistrate county for me, and it seems that it is very elevating me, but in the county where I work, there are less than 10,000 men and women combined, and most of them are nomadic tribes. ”

"There are less than 1,000 people in a county seat, and as far as the eye can see, there is not even a slightly larger courtyard. The county seat is in the ravine, so desolate that every morning when you open the window, you can see the big snowy mountains on the edge of the city, high into the clouds. Except for one county lieutenant in the entire county, there are not even officials and officials. If you don't grow vegetables yourself, you can't even eat a single leaf.

"As a magistrate, the most important thing I do every day is to deal with the vendetta between herders over grassland. Before the first term was full, his wife couldn't stand that hard time, and ran away with a tea and horse merchant who traveled back and forth between the mainland and Tibet, leaving a pair of children who were waiting to be fed and no one to take care of them. ”

"She was born in a big family, and because she likes me to be a motivated person, she chose to marry me. The other sisters in her mother's family are at least a big businessman, or a big businessman. I was the one who looked destitute at the time. Originally, I thought that I was finally a scholar and a first, and I could finally get rid of the days of being looked down upon by my mother's family, and it could be regarded as a bittersweet end.

"But I didn't expect that I was squeezed into such a place where rabbits don't poop. In the past, in the mainland, although life was a little harder, it was not as bitter as it was in Xichuan. I am a dignified seven-pin magistrate, and my wife has been abducted, which has become a big joke in officialdom. During those days, it was really not ordinarily difficult. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I still had a couple of children to take care of, I might not even have the courage to live at that time. But I'm not convinced, don't you all exclude me? I'm going to make a mark in this backwood, so I'll show you. But I'm too bad-tempered to have a good relationship with my boss. ”

"Although it will exhaust several years of hard work, the road to the governance of that small border county is not forgotten, and the officials are evaluated every year to be first-class. But he sat for two full terms, and he was given a general judgment position. That general judgment is still a position vacated by the original person for fear of going to the border and dying there. ”

"Actually, when Tubo invaded the border that year, I had been in office for half a year. At that time, because my temper was too bad and my popularity was even worse, I didn't know how to turn around when I encountered something, and when I saw injustice and injustice, I directly intervened. I got along very stiffly with my colleagues, and Zhizhou and Tongzhi joined forces to squeeze out me. When the Tibetans called, they ran away and no one told me. ”

"When I came to the yamen together in the morning, I found that I was the only one left with a master of money and grain who had been left behind. I was also scared stupid at the time, but the Tibetans had already hit the outside of the city, and it was too late to run. In desperation, he hastily organized the military horses that had broken down in front of him, as well as the young men who were recruited to wait for help. ”

"Fortunately, the Tibetan tribes in western Sichuan are different from those in Qinghai, and the Tibetan tribes there are extremely poor at attacking cities. In addition, God took care of it, and it rained heavily for several days, and the cavalry of the Tubo people could not be used, so they waited until the reinforcements arrived. After I was changed to a military position, my mentor, the envoy of the western Sichuan Festival who had promoted me to become a military attache at that time, talked with me all night. ”

He told me that the relationship between my colleagues in the military, although simpler than that of civilian officials, needs to be maintained. Military attachés are not necessarily rectums, and there are also people who are inclined to each other. When you offend people as a civil official, the most excluded officials can't do it. But if you are a military attache and you don't understand how to get along with your colleagues, then what will be delayed is the major affairs of the imperial court, and the life and death of tens of thousands of people. ”

"And once the military attaché is dumped, they will be unscrupulous with each other, and there are ways to kill you on the battlefield. Needless to say, it is enough to die on a battlefield and not save it. It was also the words of my mentor that made me truly realize what officialdom is. But even with the constant reminders from my teacher, I haven't changed much about my problem. ”

"Say something that is not afraid of the jokes of the British king, after all, it has been decades, and the dream talk is the same taste, where it is so easy to change?? If it weren't for the support of my mentor over the years, he would have been wiping my ass behind me. Coupled with the fact that I spent most of my time in the border army and had little time to deal with local officials, I am afraid that I would have been squeezed out of officialdom long ago. ”

"This Su Changshi, although he is not the same year as me, is also a member of the officialdom, and even I have heard of this person's name in the border army. I heard that the poor and crazy Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, if you want to find the magistrate's extortion, collect some filial piety and the like. He sent a message to a certain road, saying that he would send this Master Su to a certain road to do a certain school. ”

"Whoever is caught in this way, if there is something unpleasant to the eye, he will go to the master of the excerpt and join the people, and the officials of the road will welcome him when they are full? So it appeared, and the local officials gave gifts to the Hanlin Temple, just begging not to release this great god. This person has terrified his colleagues to such an extent, how could the officials of Henan Road not join forces to squeeze him out? ”

"Those dirty officials have a lot of means, and it can be said that they can't be prevented. Although he has been in officialdom for nearly 20 years, he is still so angry. If the officials of all sizes on Henan Road join forces to squeeze him out, it is really difficult to say whether he can bear the character of his brother. If someone doesn't set a trap for him, he will take the initiative to get into it himself. ”

What's more, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. You're so bitter, this guy may not really appreciate it. That's why Xia Guan said that. Still, as you said, this man still has a backbone. At present, Zhengzhou is dealing with the aftermath, and he really needs a strong order like him. If you change those officials who only know how to blindly cater to the wishes of the people, something big must happen. ”

Speaking of this, seeing Huang Qiong's eyes looking at him a little strangely, knowing that he had talked a lot today, he also explained with a wry smile: "Lord Wang, although the lower officials are now reappointed to the military position, after all, they are also from the two rankings of Jinshi. Moreover, although he failed to reach three yuan in high school, he was also the third in the second class. ”

"If it weren't for this reason of personality, it stands to reason that after watching politics, I should stay in the six departments. Although the county where the lower official served, although it was a third-class small county, the lower official had also served two terms as a magistrate. It is also the place west of the Great Snow Mountain, where the Tibetan tribes are almost every year, and the officials have to do the aftermath almost every year. ”

"Although the current situation in Zhengzhou is not as good as that of the small county in western Sichuan back then, if it is an internal problem, it can only be more complicated. Compared with external troubles, internal worries are the key. Now all the clans in the world are encroaching on the land. King Jing is now dead, and the land under his name has almost become terra nullius. With such a large area of anointed land, do you think the surrounding clans will not be greedy? ”

"Look at it, when you arrive in Zhengzhou, the worship posts of the sects around Zhengzhou, Shandong Road, Hebei Road, and even Shanxi Road and Lianghuai North Road should also follow. And the biggest problem in the aftermath of Zhengzhou is the problem of the land under King Jing's name. After this matter was handled, the aftermath of Zhengzhou was more than half successful. ”

"At least restore the land occupied by King Jing to its owner, and exempt some money and food. In Zhengzhou, as long as God takes care of it, it won't take a few years to recover. But among those officials in the court, in addition to people like Su Changshi, who is willing to offend the surrounding clans? ”

"If the land is given to those clans, they will not offend anyone, and they will receive a large amount of money for themselves, and they will also get benefits and oil and water. But for Zhengzhou, it is basically a change of soup without a change of medicine, or even adding fuel to the fire. So where is Zhengzhou, there is really a need for a strong order like Su Changshi, who can really withstand the pressure and return the land to the people. ”

"It's just too rigid and easy to break, and his personality is too problematic. For him, in fact, the biggest problem is not the surrounding clan, but the relationship with his boss and colleagues. If those clans fail to put pressure on him, they will definitely put pressure on other officials on Henan Road. With such a large benefit, it is difficult for his superiors not to be tempted. What if everyone works together to exclude him? ”
