Yanzhou, Changyi County

Yuan Yao stayed by Sima Yi's side all day, but he felt as if he hadn't learned anything, Sima Yi followed his name and traveled around Yanzhou, but he didn't teach him anything useful, and the relationship between Sima Yi and the local officials made Yuan Yao very disdainful, no matter what kind of shameless flattery, Sima Yi could endure it.

In the past two months, Yuan Yao accompanied Sima Yi, traveled all over Yanzhou, and met a lot of officials, no matter where he went, Sima Yi always let Yuan Yao follow him, Yuan Yao also saw a lot of things he had never seen in his life, the respect of local officials, he had seen it in Yuzhou, but it was different from Yanzhou, the respect of local officials in Yuzhou was only in words, and here, it was in the precious gifts.

Another night, Sima Yi sat in the study, holding the jade sent by the official, put it under the lamplight, looked at it seriously, looking at Sima Yi's happy appearance, Yuan Yao stood behind him, his face was full of disdain, Sima Yi looked at it seriously for a long time, before he turned his head and asked with a smile: "Yao'er?" Look, how is this jade? ”

As he spoke, he threw the jade at Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao was taken aback, and hurriedly caught the jade, not appreciating the jade, but said a little solemnly: "Cousin, last year, the Son of Heaven only vigorously punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can you accept other people's money?" If someone has a heart to denounce it, let alone Yanzhou Mu, it is a county order, I'm afraid it won't be able to be! ”

Yuan Yao said angrily.

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The so-called corrupt officials are those who have received the benefits of others and helped others to do things, which is called corrupt officials, I just accepted gifts, but I also returned the gifts, and did not do anything illegal because of my authority, how can this be said to be bribery?" Sima Yi glanced at Yuan Yao, and said: "The exchange of courtesies is just a relationship between us celebrities. ”

Yuan Yao's eyes widened, and he asked a little angrily, "In that case, why did my cousin do it secretly?" Why can't you see the light? ”

"In the name of courtesy, openly accepting gifts from subordinates will definitely bring great disaster to my cousin."

"It's not that you can't see the light, it's just that you have to be careful about this kind of thing, otherwise, the Son of Heaven will be unhappy."

Yuan Yao snorted coldly and said, "In my Yuzhou, there will never be such a thing."

Sima Yi slapped the case violently and interrupted Yuan Yao's words, "Yuzhou, Yuzhou, hehe, you were led astray by the stupid thing of Zhuge Villager, he is a poultry raiser, he knows what to do, he governs in Yuzhou, and never wins over officials, saying that he will commission important matters with everyone and work together, in essence, he simply looks down on any official in Yuzhou, everyone, including you, in his eyes, are tools, not cronies." ”

"He will not entrust important matters to these people, he will continue to let everyone do things according to his ideas in the name of delegating power, this is not delegating power, this is treating people as dogs!"

"Thanks to a stupid dog like you, you are being taken advantage of, and you have to help people say good things."

"Governing a state, this is not governing a county, governing a county, how many counties are there in Yanzhou, how many counties, how many are too obedient to the county order, what are they thinking in their hearts, are they willing to work for your great cause? Have you thought about this? After I arrived in Yanzhou, I was trying to win over these officials, and what they sent was not respect, but themselves! ”

"The whole of Yanzhou is gathered under my account, those who are unwilling to get close have been cleared by my thoughts, and the officials in Yanzhou are willing to obey my orders, with me as the leader, and willingly carry it out, because they are all my cronies, the higher I climb because of my political achievements, the greater the benefits for them, and in Yuzhou, even if the officials are tired of hard work, the credit is all Zhuge Liang's, what good is it for those people?!"

"Now I don't understand the simple truth, but I still want everyone to work for themselves, let me tell you, if Zhuge Liang can still talk to the Son of Heaven, the local officials will not pay attention to him at all, he thinks everything too ideally, it seems that as long as he gives orders, everyone will do it willingly... What can you learn by following him? ”

Listening to Sima Yi's words, Yuan Yao could be said to be furious, Zhuge Liang had been teaching him for a long time, how could he allow others to insult him, but this is a close relative of his own family, or is he older than him, Yuan Yao gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"Hahaha, Zhuge Liang asked you to build a feudal domain, and you are grateful to be like this?"

Sima Yi laughed, stood up, stretched his body, and then looked at Yuan Yao, "I'm not you, my own relatives, I won't treat me badly, from tomorrow, you will be the pastor of Yanzhou for me, the performance of the officials, you can dispose of it yourself, just right, I'll go and rest for a while!" Sima Yi yawned and was about to leave.

"Wait, cousin?? I?? ”

"What's wrong?"

"How can this state pastoral matter be child's play?"

Before Yuan Yao finished speaking, Sima Yi had already left the study, leaving only one Yuan Yao, standing in the study blankly, starting to be a state pastor tomorrow. What can I do to be a state pastor, and what can I do if something goes wrong?

Sure enough, Sima Yi was really as he said, completely ignoring political affairs, and went back to the house to find his wife, living a happy world of two, the next day, Yuan Yao got up, rushed to the study, waited for a full hour, Sima Yi did not come, he realized that his cousin did not laugh with him, Yuan Yao had to stretch out his trembling hand, and took the place on the table to look at it.

There are also some officials in the study, on weekdays, they are the subordinate officials who help Sima Yi write and organize, Yuan Yao picked up the recital and looked at it, these people directly smiled and surrounded them, they didn't mean to stop Yuan Yao at all, and said that they wanted to help Yuan Yao deal with it, Yuan Yao felt for the first time that Yanzhou surpassed Yuzhou, and it can't be said that it is exceeding, in short, he is in Yuzhou, if he wants to meddle in something, the officials will definitely stop him.

It's different in Yanzhou, these people are Sima Yi's confidants, and for Sima Yi's cousin, they directly treat him as a young gentleman, and he can do whatever he wants.

Yuan Yao looked at these recitals, these are the proposals of various officials, many of them are too guarded, and occasionally there are county orders or something, Yuan Yao frowned, these people are so active in playing, this is really something he has never seen before, Yuan Yao looked at these proposals seriously, and really didn't know how to solve them in his heart, scratched his head, and looked at the subordinates below.

"What does my cousin do on weekdays?"

"Shaojun, the performance of the county order, rejected to the Taishou Mansion, the county order cannot be played beyond its authority, unless it is impeachment, as for the performance of the Taishou, if the Shaojun thinks it can be implemented, then do it, if it doesn't work, hand it over to us directly, and we will reply ourselves." , the subordinate said with a smile.

Yuan Yao was entangled for a long time, and suddenly remembered the scene in Yuzhou.

In an instant, his whole person seemed to have changed, slowly raised his head, and said proudly: "You go and bring the map of Yanzhou!" Yuan Yao looked at it seriously, and then said: "I heard that when educating students, we should teach students according to their aptitude, and when governing the locality, we must adapt measures to local conditions. ”

"Young Gentleman and Great Talent!" , the subordinates praised one after another.

"I don't come in person, take the map, and then look at their proposals, according to local conditions, let them make administrative orders, reward those who have good proposals, reward them with some money, reward their merits, and give a small amount of rewards to those who have not been used, let them continue to work hard, most of Yanzhou is plain, arable land and water conservancy are indispensable, send people to Luoyang, from the Gongfu to find some masters who can repair water conservancy, they also have a lot of advanced tools..."

"Respectfully!!"

The subordinates bowed to themselves.

Yuan Yao frowned and said: "These days, you will do as I say, as for me, prepare a carriage and manpower for me, I will personally go to the place to take a walk, in the name of my cousin, to visit the situation in various places, to contact the officials, in addition, to prepare some gifts for me, there is a way, there is a courtesy!" ”

"Respectfully!"

Yuan Yao squinted his eyes, looked at the map in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

....

"Hahaha! Did he really say that? In the backyard, Sima Yi almost jumped up excitedly, and the subordinate officials in front of him also had a smile on his face, and said with a smile and flattery: "The young monarch said so, just now, he has already left the state pastor's mansion, saying that he is going to contact the feelings and see the progress of the decrees in various places..."

"Wonderful! All right! Sima Yi laughed.

"The young gentleman is wise, which is the blessing of the lord." , the subordinate officials did not forget to flatter.

Sima Yi waved his hand and let his subordinates leave, but he couldn't help laughing, his wife Zhang was busy on the side, seeing him laughing so happily, she felt a little strange in her heart, she knew that her husband had always been calm and calm, and she had never seen him so out of shape, but when she saw her husband happy, she was naturally happy in her heart.

"Husband, why are you so happy?" , Zhang asked with some curiosity.

"Madame, I made a big mistake." , Sima Yi said with a smile.

"Huh? made a big mistake, and still so happy? Isn't it crazy to lose your mind? Zhang's naturally didn't believe his words, snorted coldly, and said: "If you don't want to tell me, just say it, why bother?" ”

Sima Yi held her hand, shook his head a little helplessly, and said: "Madam, I really made a mistake, I originally wanted to turn a little Kong Ming into a little Zhongda, but as a result, I didn't stop it for a while..."

"I made a Zhuge Zhongda..."

"Hahaha!"
