Chapter 1143 The Purpose of Restructuring

This move was rewarded by Zhao Ji, and Sitong soon launched a three-wheeled bicycle that is lighter than the four-wheeled carriage, with a body behind, which can pull hundreds of pounds of goods, and can be walked by human pedaling.

The large carriages as large as the Taiping Carriage in the past, or even larger than that, can now only be seen on the Zhouqiao Wharf, Shuiximen Wharf and Chenbian Railway.

After sending away the bones, Su You said to Cheng Yue: "Let's go, take a look!" ”

Cheng Yue didn't speak, only handed the sword to his left hand, and put his thumb on the tension spring.

Turning the corner, sure enough, I saw a scribe standing on the corner, covering his mouth with his sleeve, and coughing there with only his eyes exposed.

Seeing Su You and Cheng Yue, the scribe put down his sleeves and walked over quickly.

Su You quietly waved his hand to Lao Shi and a few small traders outside the gourd soup shop, signaling that it was okay, and then smiled at the scribe: "Brother Bi, what kind of wind blew you to Xicheng?" Did my brother tell you to come to me? ”

The person who came was obviously a scholar, and he still looked like a Hanshi, and came over to Su You and made a long gesture: "Bi Zhongyan has seen Fu Guogong." ”

Su You smiled and returned the salute: "Hello Brother Bi." Is there something wrong with me? ”

Bi Zhongyan said: "Zhong Yan has been in Zhongshu for so many years, since Wu Xianggong went, he has been ridiculed and white-eyed, a few days ago he suddenly came to run, and His Majesty moved three times a day, and then inquired in many ways, only to know that it was the grace of the country. ”

"Nonsense." Su You didn't admit it: "I haven't recommended you, where did you hear the gossip?" ”

Bi Zhongyan gave his hand again: "The Duke of the Kingdom is no better than hiding me, His Majesty summoned me to be alone, and asked about the matter of "Preparing for the Pair", and someone told me that it was recommended by the Duke of the Kingdom. ”

Su You still shook his head: ""Prepare for the Pair" was sent to me by His Majesty, he knows that you are first, I know that you are last, what you say is illogical." ”

Bi Zhongyan coughed lightly twice: "But after the "Preparation Pair" was presented to His Majesty, no one paid attention to it at first, His Majesty said it, and he thought it was just a book of preparation and questioning at first. It was only after the Duke of the Kingdom explained to His Majesty that Zhong Yan's later encounters occurred. ”

There is no way to deny it, Su Youcai said: "Yes, but I recommended the book "Preparation" to His Majesty, but I did not recommend you to him. Grace is from above, not my work. ”

Bi Zhongyan's face was flushed, although he was well-written and thoughtful, he seemed to be a layman in the officialdom, and he was so blocked by Su You that he couldn't speak, but he just made a fuss.

Su You smiled, this person was really interesting, so he asked, "Don't talk about this, Brother Bi came to me, is there something wrong?" ”

"Nope." Bi Zhongyan looked serious: "I'm just here to thank Fu Guogong." ”

What? That's gone? Su You couldn't believe his ears, this baby made such a big fuss, and he actually came over to say thank you?

Hey, do you know what a routine operation should look like?

Suddenly thought that this baby is a person valued by the clan brother who only receives cold water as a gift in his life, with the noble character of the clan brother, if it is not a temperament, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter his eyes, but I have figured it out.

So he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll accept this thank you, by the way, have you eaten?" ”

"Huh?"

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet."

"That's just right, it's rare for Brother Bi to make a special trip, I'll invite you to breakfast."

"This ......"

Su You didn't pay attention to him anymore, and walked to the Shijia gourd soup shop: "Old Shi, three bowls of gourd soup, the noodles and leaves are wider." ”

"Gotcha!" Lao Shi nodded: "Take the chopsticks yourself!" ”

Su You took out three pairs of chopsticks from a clay pot with chopsticks boiling, compared the length, and gave a pair to Bi Zhongyan and Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue found a table at the door and sat down, leaning his sword against the table.

Lao Shi pretended to go over to wipe the table, and asked in a low voice, "Lao Cheng, what kind of road is this?" The brothers thought it was a secret spy. ”

Cheng Yue's face was expressionless: "I don't know, the poor measures to fight the autumn wind are big." After a while, I will come to a dish of sugar and garlic, and if you don't give sugar and garlic when you eat gourd soup, what else will you eat? ”

Lao Shi smiled: "It's not that you don't give it, brother, aren't you afraid of smoking your grandfather?" ”

Cheng Yue was still expressionless, and only took out a small box from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"Huh? What the hell is this? ”

"Chewing gum."

“……”

"Grandpa said that after eating flavorful food, chewing this can remove breath."

"Gotcha! Hun family, two new tables, each with a plate of sugar and garlic! ”

Su You and Bi Zhongyan sat at another small table, Bi Zhongyan sat opposite Su You with chopsticks in his hand, and seemed to be very uncomfortable with this way of eating.

Su You asked: "It seems that the lady in your family is virtuous, and she usually eats at home?" ”

Bi Zhongyan smiled: "Even if there are three or five peers to meet, they will go to the flag pavilion of the private courtyard, this kind of place, I really haven't been here." ”

Su You said with a smile: "Actually, those places are just for pomp and circumstance, if it's really for the taste, it has to be such a place." ”

Old Shi Hun came over with a gourd soup and sugar and garlic, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be happy, and said beautifully: "Grandpa and distinguished guests use it slowly, and the guests spare more meat and bones, and we know the taste of grandpa, the soup is wide." ”

Su You said with a smile: "Thank you, lady, by the way, your bones were sent to school by me, don't worry." ”

Old Shi Hun said with a smile: "It's not Jin Guiwa, what's not to worry about, and Grandpa Lao is worried about this!" ”

Lao Shi accosted on the side: "You can't say that, grandpa is really interested in children!" Knowing that the children in Xicheng are troublesome to study, they also specially arranged the school bus! Why don't you still be able to do it at home? ”

"That's right! People with children in Xicheng, who doesn't say that our grandfather is benevolent and righteous when it comes to this?! ”

Su You waved his hand: "Let's get busy, there are people waiting at the door, don't delay business." ”

The old Shi and his family went, and Su You said to Bi Zhongyan: "Eat, eat this in autumn, stick to the fat!" ”

Bi Zhongyan felt very rude, but Su You buried his head and drank the soup, so he had to eat with him.

With chopsticks in his stomach, Bi Zhongyan couldn't help but be a little surprised, it makes sense that the business of this inconspicuous small store is so good.

Su You took two sips, and then he started to fish noodles with chopsticks: "How is it?" Didn't lie to you, did you? ”

Bi Zhongyan smiled: "It's really, it tastes good." ”

Su You asked Bi Zhongyan: "The official system, it's almost, right?" What did Wang Xianggong say, did he tell you to go back to Zhongshu? ”

Bi Zhongyan nodded: "It's called, but I don't really want to go back, those people in the sixth room of Zhongshu...... When I wrote "Preparation", they were all laughing at me; Now that they are adopted, they are openly complimentary, and secretly they are sarcastic and sarcastic, and there are words in their words. ”

Su You said: "Your idea is not right, seeing through it or not saying it is the way to live in the world." People live for themselves and for others, but mainly for themselves. ”

Speaking of Bi Zhongyan's shocked expression, Su You smiled: "I'm talking about mentality. ”

Bi Zhongyan understood, and couldn't help but nodded.

Smart man, Su You couldn't help but nod secretly: "Look at my old brother, he is the famous cold stove of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Taichang Temple, Rite Courtyard, sitting on the cold bench for more than ten years, what is he doing when others are complaining about the heavens?"

"Every day, I can't release the scroll, and the rules of 5,000 words of iron!"

"People, I'm not afraid that God won't give you a chance, but I'm most afraid that when God gives you a chance, you find that you're not ready."

Bi Zhongyan arched his hand and said: "I understand, I will refuse to be a prince, and follow the bachelor to sit in the Taichang Rite Academy for a few more years, and do a solid job." ”

Su You said with a smile: "You can be called an expert in the official system, what do you think about going to the county, going to the countryside, and supervising the state?" ”

Bi Zhongyan hesitated for a moment: "Of course, it's good to be able to do it, but I first proposed the "Preparation" to reduce redundant officials, reduce the burden on the imperial court, and save money. ”

"If you follow Guogong's idea, the purpose of the two is actually opposite."

Su You admired Bi Zhongyan even more, and now there are really not too many subordinates who dare to raise objections in front of him, except for the big men in the Institute of Technology and the two systems and above: "What you said is very right, but when Anshi Xianggong reformed, there was a saying that was very good, that is, to seek fame." ”

"How do you define redundant officials? My definition is that there is nothing to do, nothing to do, and such an official is a redundant official. ”

"And now in the Great Song Dynasty, the population has increased by countless compared with the Tang Dynasty, the number of dispatched projects has increased by countless compared with the Tang Dynasty, and the economic scale has expanded more than twice that of the Tang Dynasty.

"And I think that redundant officials must be cured, but this part of the necessary increase is not among the redundant officials."
