Li Zhongyi has not yet taken office, so the brothers helped to find out the details and origin of the top boss.
Regardless of ancient or modern, if you want to wear the black gauze hat on your head steadily, you must understand the background and connections of your colleagues.
Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that in the Dream of Red Mansions, the "Talisman" that the little novice official said to Jia Yucun was not a joke for people in the officialdom.
There are some powerful people with deep backgrounds, you can never afford to offend, otherwise, just wait for the blood to be unlucky.
Although Li Zhongyi was betrayed by Meng Chang, he was out of office so quickly, and the stigma of these two ministers may never be washed off.
"Hehe, a clean official has the good of a clean official, and a corrupt official has the beauty of a corrupt official, it depends on how to get along with him." Li Zhongyi touched his chin and showed a relaxed smile, signaling his brothers not to worry, he had his own way.
Hehe, after several years of experience as a leading cadre at the department and bureau level, Li Zhongyi is not a fool. If it weren't for the damn car accident, Li Zhongyi would have been a department-level dean who enjoys vice-ministerial-level political and medical treatment.
"Brother Wu Blame, is there any beauty in this corrupt official?" Zhao Kuangyi put down the sesame cake in his hand. He stared at Li Zhongyi very curiously.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "To tell you the truth, what I'm most worried about is. The boss is a Taoist gentleman who doesn't know the times. This kind of person, even if he is a clean official, is of great use. ”
In view of the fact that Li Zhongyi's fallacy was too shocking, the Zhao family brothers and Murong Yanzhao all stopped their chopsticks and pricked up their ears, wanting to listen to his next words.
"This kind of clean official. He regards himself as a moral model, and talks about the so-called Spring and Autumn righteousness in everything, although he does not collect money. But he doesn't do anything, because he doesn't know how to do practical things. This kind of person often only knows how to stick to the rules, and even is stubborn and does not listen to the persuasion of others. It's very easy to do bad things with good intentions. ”
The three people in front of Li Zhongyi's meeting were dumbfounded. couldn't help but smile again, and continued to explain: "For example, I now want to do a serious thing within the scope of my authority, if the boss is a corrupt official, I can know the profit, just negotiate the proportion of the share, so that the corrupt official, the court and the grass people can benefit together." ”
"Oh hey. This is the first time a family has heard such a high theory. At first glance, it doesn't make sense. But. If you think about it carefully, there are really a large number of mediocre officials, exactly like what you said. Murong Yanzhao shook his head again and again and sighed, admiring Li Zhongyi's extraordinary observation.
Zhao Kuangyin touched his short beard, and after thinking about it carefully, he said slowly: "What Mr. said is really insightful, and one sentence penetrates the disadvantages of selecting and using officials. ”
Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, worthy of the future Song Taizu, he nodded a little, and Zhao Lao Er understood the mystery.
"To be an official for thousands of miles, one is to be a bigger official, and the other is to make money." Li Zhongyi sold a little, and when everyone looked at him intently, he said slowly, "The court raises officials in order to govern the people." The power in the hands of the magistrate is too great, and if he sits crookedly, the gold and silver will have to fill his house, which is more likely to threaten the safety of the imperial court. However, if the magistrate's power is too small, in the event of a catastrophe or a rebellion by thieves, he can only be helpless and stare twice. ”
"Sir is absolutely right." Zhao Kuangyin patted the table lightly and urged Li Zhongyi to hurry up.
Seeing that Zhao Lao Er had already entered the urn, Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said: "The situation in the peaceful period is very different from the critical moment, the imperial court can set clear standards and stipulate which important matters, and the local officials can command the local officials and soldiers to suppress thieves, or open warehouses to release grain. ”
"Brother Blameless is right. I think that the territory of my Great Zhou is vast, thousands of miles long from east to west, and the power of the magistrate is too small, so it is okay on weekdays. If there is a thief who makes trouble, it is easy to miss a big thing. ”
Zhao Kuangyi's analysis did make Li Zhongyi feel amazing, when did this kid grow up so fast?
"Sir, it's just that it's hard to grasp this degree?" Zhao Kuangyin was very old-fashioned and got to the point again.
Li Zhongyi simply stood up and talked eloquently: "This requires supervision." The imperial court appoints someone to be the deputy of the magistrate, and in case of a major event, it is necessary to convene all the officials and sign in public to confirm the corresponding situation, which can solve the problem of inconsistent powers. ”
"Wonderful, wonderful, Mr. really has a million strategies in his chest!" Zhao Kuangyin subconsciously applauded, but Li Zhongyi saw through the inside story.
If it weren't for the fact that he usually pays great attention to understanding these things, how could Zhao Laoer, who is still a military general, have the leisure to study the rule of officials?
After eating breakfast for more than an hour, Li Zhongyi really confirmed the identity of Mr. Even Zhao Kuangyi, who has always called Brother No Blame, was forced by Zhao Kuangyin's cold eyes to change his name to Mr.
In fact, Li Zhongyi has been a teacher for a while just now, which is equivalent to giving Zhao Lao Er a preventive injection in advance. In case, Zhao Lao Er succeeded in seizing the throne and really became Song Taizu, but he couldn't listen to Zhao Pu's overly centralized civil officials.
Although the policy of strengthening the cadres and weakening the branches strengthened the power of the imperial court, it also made the local government basically unable to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
After breakfast, Li Zhongyi felt that the Zhao family brothers and Murong Yanzhao had no intention of leaving, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood.
Except for Zhao Kuangyi, who is an idler, the remaining two are all generals in command, and if they don't ask for leave in advance, they will lose their heads if they delay military affairs.
With the capable housekeeper lady of Bottle, Li Zhongyi is very relieved, he only takes money home on weekdays, but rarely asks about the inner house.
When he was about to go out, Zhao Kuangyin pulled Li Zhongyi aside and reminded him in a low voice: "Sir, don't have anything to do with Shu again, what Your Majesty is most afraid of is that it is colluding with the inside and outside." ”
Li Zhongyi's heart was fierce, and Zhao Lao Er reminded him in a very timely manner. He immediately nodded and said, "Yuen Long, you can rest assured, I am already Zhou Chen." There is no reason to secretly contact Shu Chen. ”
Zhao Kuangyin clearly said that it was collusion between inside and outside, but in fact, he implied that Li Zhongyi and Chai Rong's suspicion was very serious, and it was impossible to let him go so easily, and it would inevitably be arranged in secret.
"Then you ...... Yuen Long" Li Zhongyi realized that he couldn't make trouble for Zhao Kuangyin, so he asked him with concern.
Zhao Kuangyin narrowed his eyes. smiled slightly, and said, "San Lang and Brother Hualong were caught by you, and I have privately reported it to His Majesty." Instead of punishing me, His Majesty praised me for being selfless. ”
I see! Li Zhongyi instantly understood that the reason why Zhao Kuangyin has always won Chai Rong's trust and daring to love. He did it with sincerity!
When the emperor's. Isn't the biggest concern for the bureaucrats to join forces and fool him?
Chai Rong, who was a rice seller in his early years, is just the nephew of Queen Chai, and has no blood relationship with Guo Wei.
As a result, when Guo Wei chose his successor, he directly bypassed his nephew Li Chongjin, and instead supported Chai Rongshun to ascend to the throne.
Such Chai Rong. Could it be a simple character?
Not to mention anything else, when Li Zhongyi met him yesterday. In the face of Chai Rong's huge psychological pressure, there is a world of difference compared to being by Meng Chang's unconscious side.
"Thank you Yuen Long for the point." Li Zhongyi gave his hands seriously and sincerely thanked Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin glared at him, and said angrily: "I have always treated you as my own family, don't come to these vain things with me, it's boring!" ”
Li Zhongyi accompanied the smiling face and said: "Yuen Long is not strange, I have not succeeded in studying, but I have learned a sourness." ”
"Haha, sir, if you are all sour, wouldn't those old Taoist gentlemen in the court become sour melon dishes?" Murong Yanzhao smiled rudely, and Li Zhongyi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, a military man, you can't ask too much.
Murong Yanzhao was more familiar with Kaifeng Mansion, so he was the guide and led a few people to wander around the streets.
After leaving the Li family, he didn't take a few steps out, and he saw a young man in soap service clothes, who came up to Murong Yanzhao, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I heard that you have bought a lot of beautiful little ladies recently?" ”
"Haha, you kid, your ears and eyes are too well-informed. You know the events of the other day so quickly. Murong Yanzhao raised his hand and patted the man's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Brother Xiaoyi, are they all okay with the fifth brother?" ”
"Hehe, my brothers are all right. The third brother recently squeezed out a rich man, and he also got a concubine outside the staff, and he hugged the beauty every day, missed the duty several times, let Shangguan spank his ass, and left the left army patrol courtyard, and he could only patrol the streets every day. This little brother Yi did not shy away from having outsiders present, and openly told his brother's ugly things, which really opened Li Zhongyi's eyes.
"Hehe, sir, his name is Zhang Xiaoyi, and he is currently working as an errand under Wu Tuiguan in the government, and he is a well-known bag in Tokyo City." Murong Yanzhao's emphasis on the introduction attracted Li Zhongyi's great attention.
The general of the dignified forbidden army actually attaches so much importance to a small errand soldier, which shows that this Zhang Xiaoyi must be outstanding.
"Brother Xiao Yi has also made a lot of money recently, right?" Li Zhongyi touched his chin and deliberately teased Zhang Xiaoyi.
Zhang Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't hide it from this brother, you don't have much money, but you just got a small house with two entrances." ”
Isn't this called wealth? In this Kaifeng city, with the passage of peace, business and trade exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and housing prices can only rise step by step.
In later generations, the magic capital, the imperial capital, and the two cities of Sui and Shen, because of limited land resources, the housing prices could only rise, but there was no possibility of plummeting.
Li Zhongyi was happy, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Yi is very capable." ”
"It's not a big deal. Outsiders are 'treasury households', using their father's money to earn 'credit' money, and we are drudgers who help outsiders spend some money, which can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor, right? Zhang Xiaoyi explained the way to make money with a big smile, which really opened Li Zhongyi's eyes and sighed: What courage!
(Note: The treasury is a rich person who lends usury, credit is usury, the father's money is the principal, and the son's money is the interest, which will not be repeated later.) )
However, Li Zhongyi showed that this Zhang Xiaoyi had been secretly eyeing Murong Yanzhao. He thought to himself, that's right, with Murong Yanzhao's eyes, Zhang Xiaoyi dared to speak openly.
Well, Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that Murong Yanzhao really didn't treat him as an outsider. As for Zhao Laoer, he was so well disguised that Li Zhongyi couldn't see his true face clearly for a while. (To be continued!)
