When Zhao Junchen entered his room, he saw that Zuo Lanshan and Li Lide had been waiting here for a long time.

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh? The two adults came early, and the room was already cleaned up? ”

Zuo Lanshan and Li Lide both nodded, among them, Zuo Lanshan's expression was relaxed, and he said: "I drove south this time, and I didn't bring many things, just some personal belongings, just hand them over to the next person to clean up, so after I recognized the location of the room, I came to you, Lord Zhao." ”

On the other side, Li Lide also had a casual attitude, and said with a smile: "Yes, the cabin is narrow and very boring, and I just got the summons of Lord Zhao, so I came early." ”

As he spoke, Li Lide looked left and right at Zhao Junchen's room, and added with a smile: "It's still Lord Zhao's room that is more spacious, and it's not so stuffy here." ”

……

A person's bearing and mentality often change with the increase or decrease of status.

There are many factors that determine status, such as prestige, such as wealth, such as connections, such as seniority, and so on.

But in officialdom, there is only one most important factor that determines a person's status, and that is official position!

If the official position is low, then no matter how confident and arrogant you are, you must also "be a dragon coiling for me, a tiger squatting for me", otherwise you will be regarded as "arrogant and ignorant" and be suppressed by the surroundings, so how can you cultivate a good bearing and mentality?

Conversely, if the official position is higher, there will be fewer restrictions. You don't need to deliberately show off or swagger, and someone will naturally please you and take refuge in you. What used to be considered a thousand difficulties is now just a small thing to solve. In this way, the bearing and mentality will naturally rise.

Li Lide is an obvious example, in the past, when he was only a servant of the Criminal Department, in front of Zhao Junchen and Zuo Lanshan, he was always very humble, restrained, and cautious, but now after being promoted to the political envoy of Shandong, he has become a pivotal feudal official, although it is still one level lower than the official rank of Zhao Junchen and Zuo Lanshan, but he is finally a level of official, so he is in front of Zhao Junchen and Zuo Lanshan. The attitude has gradually become more casual.

This change in attitude is not that Li Lide is a little carried away, but that he has begun to gradually adapt to his new status, and after his position is promoted, he should also be more confident, otherwise Zhao Junchen will not worry about him.

Therefore, for Li Lide's change of attitude, Zhao Junchen not only did not have any anger and dissatisfaction, but accepted it very calmly. Take it for granted.

It is true that the reason why Li Lide was able to be promoted to the political envoy of Shandong was because of Zhao Junchen's hard work, but Zhao Junchen can't show too obvious self-esteem now. Because this qiē is already a thing of the past, and people in officialdom often have poor memory, especially when remembering grace.

In fact. Since Li Lide became the political envoy of Shandong, not only he has become much more confident. Zhao Junchen's attitude towards him was also a lot more polite - official position represents status, and status represents strength. The powerful need to give more benefit distribution and more respect, and that's it -- this is the natural rule of officialdom, and Zhao Junchen has always adhered to such rules.

Many people don't understand this, and always feel that they have been kind to someone in the past, or they used to be someone's old boss, thinking that the other party should do everything to themselves, so the attitude is still as arrogant as ever, and even in order to satisfy some of their own psychology, they will deliberately get an inch, but forget that it is now a time shift, and the status and mentality of the other party are completely different, this attitude is almost equivalent to humiliation for the other party, and finally it is natural to turn against each other.

In the officialdom, for officials of similar ranks, it is often not feasible to "repay favors", and the past favors are only to deepen the connection today, and let the other party understand what the benefits of following him will be, nothing more.

Because, this world is "real", "present" is the "present" of "now", and "real" is the "reality" of "reality".

Zhao Junchen is a very realistic person.

……

Therefore, after hearing Li Lide's words, although Li Lide's attitude was a little more casual, and he was no longer respectful and humble as before, Zhao Junchen did not say anything, but just said with a smile: "Yes, although our ship is second only to His Majesty's ship, it is only a ship after all, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of space, and the number of officials accompanying the officials in the south is more, so our room is a little narrower, but this is not a big deal, we will not live on the ship permanently, when the ship is parked in various places, Naturally, we will go ashore to live. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen led Zuo Lanshan and Li Lide to sit down at the round table in the room, and smiled at Li Lide: "Especially you, now that you are the political envoy of Shandong, this time you are not accompanying you to the south, but just going to Shandong to take up a post, and when you arrive in Jining, Shandong, you will get off the boat, but it has reduced a lot of bumps." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, thinking that he was about to become a provincial governor and a feudal official, Li Lide also showed anticipation and excitement, but sighed in his mouth: "It's a pity, I originally wanted to follow His Majesty Xià to go to Jiangnan with Lord Zhao and Lord Zuo for a few days, but I missed this opportunity, but I don't know when I will wait." ”

However, compared with Zhao Junchen, Zuo Lanshan is a little unaccustomed to Li Lide's proud appearance, and always feels that Li Lide has lost a lot of respect for himself since he was promoted to the political envoy of Shandong.

However, Zuo Lanshan is also an old man in officialdom, and the city government is deep, but he will not directly express his dissatisfaction, but interjects: "Oh? Master Li still wants to go to Jiangnan? Inevitably, a little comfortable and optimistic, now you have been promoted to the right Cheng to announce the political envoy, although it is one of the highest officials in Shandong, but this position may not be so easy to sit, not to mention that there is a governor above to restrain it, next to the Zuo Cheng announced the political envoy, the punishment according to the prosecutorial envoy and the commander of the envoy in the constraints, just say that the following six prefectures, fifteen prefectures, eighty-nine counties of local officials, you have just arrived, and how many people will listen to you, but it is also unknown, if you can't put these on the table, even if you become a feudal official, But it's just an empty shelf. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Lanshan's expression sank, and he added: "If you have the kung fu of envying Jiangnan, it is better to think about what you should do next, don't get carried away, you have wasted Lord Zhao's hard work for you!" ”

This is also the reason why Zhao Junchen doesn't care about Li Lide's change of attitude, because Zhao Junchen knows that with Zuo Lanshan's temperament, he will definitely take the initiative to play the role of white face at this time, so that the red-faced role he plays will also make Li Lide even more grateful.

And the most important thing is that if Li Lide wants to sit firmly in the position of Shandong's political envoy, he must get his own support, otherwise he will only achieve nothing, and Zuo Lanshan will definitely take the initiative to mention this to Li Lide.

Sure enough, after hearing Zuo Lanshan's words, Li Lide's face couldn't help but change.

It's not that he doesn't know these difficulties and worries, but after becoming the political envoy of Shandong, he was a little carried away by ecstasy, and he has not yet realized his strict nature.

Then, Li Lide's attitude was also a little more restrained, no longer proud, and looked at Zhao Junchen for help.

Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, as if he hadn't noticed the change in Li Lide's attitude at all, but said leisurely: "What Lord Zuo said is of course very reasonable, Lord Li, you really have to be prepared to meet difficulties, this magistrate may not be better than the Beijing official, but ...... But don't worry too much, there are certainly a lot of constraints in the local area, and there are major forces that are intertwined, but when the time comes, you just have to do your own thing, and you don't have to worry too much about the attitude of other local officials. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen accentuated his tone, looked directly at Li Lide with his eyes, and said word by word: "Because, you are my Zhao Junchen's disciple, even if they are not convinced by you, they will never dare to directly embarrass you, otherwise, I will embarrass them!" At that time, no matter whether their backers were Zhou Shoufu, Huang Ge Lao, or Shen Ge Lao, they couldn't help them! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Li Lide couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't understand Zhao Junchen's deep meaning.

Now although Zhao Junchen is one of the several powerful ministers in the court, his influence is still limited to the capital, how can he listen to Zhao Junchen's words, as if the local feudal officials dare not offend him?

But Li Lide is not a stupid person after all, and after thinking of the identities of Zhao Junchen and Zuo Lanshan, he suddenly understood.

Zhao Junchen is in charge of the household department, responsible for the verification and expenditure of the world's money and grain, Zuo Lanshan is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, responsible for the accounting and supervision of the world's projects, if the local officials offend these two, then it will be difficult to allocate money and grain from the imperial court to use, so naturally there will be no oil and water to fish, and once there is no oil and water, then what is the meaning of being an official?

Therefore, compared with the Beijing officials, local officials often dare not offend Zhao Junchen, and Li Lide, as Zhao Junchen's disciple, can naturally be pretended.

Thinking about this, Li Lide suddenly became enlightened!

Thinking about it again, the problem that made me feel extremely embarrassed was solved by Zhao Junchen casually, and after he left Zhao Junchen's support, he couldn't even sit firmly in the official position of the political envoy.

Above the officialdom, this is the case, if you want to control a person, you must not only rely on the past kindness and relationship, but also let the other party understand the relationship of interests and the gap in strength!

Now, Zhao Junchen is doing the same.

Seeing Li Lide change like this, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, but asked again: "So, Master Li, do you know that after you arrive in Shandong, what is your own business?" ”
