Chapter 1144 After the Famous Minister

Bi Zhongyan nodded: "Indeed, for example, in the system of transshipment, Tang Shi was only a small position, and he was sent temporarily; In our dynasty, it is the lifeblood of the economy and the vitality of the country. ”

Su You said: "That's why I recommended your "Preparation" to Your Majesty, the fundamental purpose of changing the official system is to improve the efficiency of government operation, this goal is far more important than eliminating redundant officials, determining official names, and saving costs. ”

"If there are too few officials, it will inevitably be difficult to thoroughly implement government affairs, and supervision will inevitably be not in place. Completely changed to the scale of the Tang system, how much money can be saved? We have counted, but it is only a few hundred thousand. ”

"But once the government is not good, the supervision is lacking, the bureaucrats are greedy for ink in the two governments, and the officials are chaotic in the prefectures and counties, how much loss will be caused?"

"Just one Shangzhou, I'm afraid that the consumption will not be less than hundreds of thousands, right?"

"Isn't it clear which is more important?"

Bi Zhongyan was greatly admired, and said ashamedly: "I have inherited the teachings of the young master, and the lower officials only stared at their own mess, but they had a narrow vision. ”

Su You picked another bite of noodles and ate it: "It's okay, this thing of vision, it will come out after more tempering and tempering in practice, I don't think you are in good spirits?" ”

Bi Zhongyan took a sip of soup: "A few mouthfuls of hot soup, I feel much better, the cooking bureaucracy is a little busy during this time, and it seems that I suffered from some wind chill a few days ago, so it is not in the way." ”

Su You stood up: "The habit I developed in Weizhou before, eat quickly, then you can continue to eat, I will go to the government first." ”

Bi Zhongyan stood up: "Congratulations to Fu Guogong." ”

Su You laughed: "Don't make trouble, don't look at the place, if you are not in the Yamen Dynasty, you can just socialize normally." Sit down and eat. ”

said hello to the old Shi and his wife again, and went to the back of Wuqi Temple across the street.

When Bi Zhongyan finished eating and asked Lao Shi to come over to meet the account, Lao Shi smiled and said: "It turns out that he is also an official, and his grandfather is an old guest, as long as the guests he brings in, they will hang his account." ”

"This is the rule, at the end of the month, the old army will settle the account with the grandfather, and you can rest assured that you can go."

Bi Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, as if he ...... What's wrong, wait, I obviously came to thank Fu Guogong, why did I take advantage of him for breakfast now?

……

Su You entered the door, and Cai Jing came over and continued: "Guogong is here?" It's a little late today. ”

Su You glanced at him: "Bi Zhongyan is an honest person, and he doesn't even know how to give gifts and bribes, what are you talking nonsense to him?" ”

Cai Jing took the official robe, asked Cheng Yue to serve Su You to change it, took the black yarn and waited on the side, and said with a smile: "I knew that he was making such a fuss, so I really didn't tell him." Bi Zhongyan is also a person who has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he can play the number of ways to thank him empty-handed on the street, hahaha......"

"You're still laughing!" Su You scolded: "It's not good that I'm going to be impeached again!" ”

"Is it a ......" Cai Jing still couldn't help laughing: "If you don't get impeached, you still call the minister?" Cai Zhizheng went to close the door to apologize for three days, isn't it the same? ”

Su You sighed, took the hat and put it on: "Is there anything big today?" ”

Cai Jing returned to work: "There are a few ...... Well, today we have to approve the storage tax of Shaanxi Road, Yongxing Military Road, and Chuanxia Fourth Road with the Third Division; In addition, the Yellow River will freeze in winter, and Luokoucang to Shaanzhou can only be changed by land, and vehicles must be increased; Gao Jiedu reported next year's budget for the new army, and the Military Aircraft Department should review and approve it; At the same time, he also reported opinions on the reform of the new army, saying that many problems had been discovered from military exercises. And also...... The winter clothes needed by the armies of Shaanxi and Hebei came up; Zhengzhou's industrial capacity statistics report should also be discussed; Well, Nanhai Qiugang is also almost there, Chen Liu......"

Su You heard one head and two big: "Let's go, work!" ”

……

By the time Su You finished his work and left the yamen, the sky was already numb and dark.

Thinking of something, Su You beckoned a carriage with a passenger, and got into the carriage with Cheng Yue: "Go to the east of the city." ”

After the introduction of the bearing structure of bicycles and tricycles, a new type of four-wheeled carriage that is lighter than four-wheeled carriages has been promoted.

This kind of carriage is very small, a horse drawn by a horse, can seat four people, and the carriage is very cramped.

It is open in the summer, and in the winter it is pulled up to shelter from the cold.

The advantage is that the cost is low, the speed is okay, and there are many people who are not afraid of getting in the way. Running on the bustling ground in the east of the city is more convenient than a private spacious carriage.

After coming to Bianjing City for so many years, Su You is also very familiar with the streets and alleys of Kaifeng Mansion, and commanded the coachman to come to the door of a small alley in the east of the city, and gave the coachman fifty yuan: "Wait, we will take this car back in a while." ”

The coachman took off his felt hat, Su You threw the treasure money inside, and said with a smile: "It's convenient for you." ”

The coachman put on his hat, craned his neck, and took out a piece of bread from his sleeve: "I'll wait here for two old guests, and the return trip is still fifty yuan." ”

Su You led Cheng Yue into the alley, this alley was very narrow, and there were small households along the way, and he came to the door of a tree with a crooked neck in the courtyard and knocked on the door.

A little girl opened the door a crack: "Who?" Are you looking for your brother again? My brother isn't here, so if you're a friend, please leave a post. ”

"Not there? Where did it go? Su You was a little surprised: "Isn't this Brother Yizhong's home?" Little sister, how can you open the door? No more adults in the house? ”

The little girl seemed to be a little wary of the uncle who had a lot of questions, but although there was a sword holding a sword and an expressionless Cheng Yue behind her, she was not afraid at all: "Uncle, are you okay?" Closed without me. Jingzhong is very strong, don't make a mistake. ”

After speaking, he took two steps back and took out a copper whistle from his neckline: "As soon as this whistle sounds, you can't leave even if you want to." ”

"Hey!" Su You was impressed by this little girl, amazing!

Hurriedly explained: "I'm a friend of Brother Yi Zhong, I don't mean anything else, I saw him coughing in the morning, and his spirit was not very good, so I came over to see if there was anything I needed help, I know many doctors with excellent medical skills." ”

The little girl's eyes turned red, and she looked Su You up and down, but she still didn't put down her whistle: "Brother's explanation, it's not a pity today, you can come back another day." ”

At this time, a lantern came to the door, and a young scholar came over: "Little sister, there is a guest at home?" ”

Su You turned his head, and the young man saw Su You: "Ouch, the prince of the country is here, it's rude." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly bowed: "Xiaguan Bi Zhongyou, I have seen Fu Guogong." ”

Su You said: "How many brothers and sisters are there in the family? ”

Bi Zhongyou was a little cramped: "Yes, my brother was infected with a cold a few days ago, and when he came back from his dispersion today, his body became more and more unwell. Snubbed the national prince. ”

Su You said: "Your little sister is alert and smart, so Brother Yi Zhong is at home?" ”

"Yes, at home." Bi Zhongyou hurriedly said: "Little sister, this is the Duke of Fu Guogong you admire the most, why don't you know it when you come to the front?" ”

The little girl's big eyes looked at Su You: "You are Su Tanhua?" ”

Bi Zhongyou said: "Let's talk about it when you enter the door, Guogong is really slacking." ”

A few people entered the small courtyard, Su You glanced at the courtyard, it was really not good, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Bi Wenjian's descendants, just clean and self-disciplined, why is it so cold!" ”

The three brothers and sisters are the great-grandchildren of the famous Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Bi Shi'an.

Bi Shi'an is a person from Datong in Xijing, Taizu got a jinshi in the middle of his year, and he was honest all his life, diligent in government affairs, strict in self-discipline, and lenient in treating others.

The Song people's evaluation of him is square, quiet, and elegant.

He does not form a party aid in his life, but only remembers his friends.

But things are gathered by like, and people are divided by groups.

The ones who attracted him were Wang You and Lu Duan; are friendly to Wang Dan, Kou Zhun, and Yang Yi; His disciples are Wang Yuyan and Chen Pengnian.

are all bigwigs who write big books in the history books.

At that time, Taizong selected the secretary office for the prince to join the army, and someone recommended Bi Shi'an, Taizong said: "It is this person I like." ”

Later, he was summoned to Hanlin, and someone recommended Zhang Xun at the same time, wanting to bring Bi Shi'an down, Taizong said: "Literary experience, Zhang Xun may be on par with him, but the conduct is far behind." ”

He was a close comrade-in-arms of Song Zhenzong, and in the words of Song Zhenzong, he was "a matter of the South Mansion and the East Palace to complement each other, bow and act prudently, and have the style of the ancients." ”
