Chapter 333: Selling the Official Mantle (2)

After walking around the porridge shop outside the city, Mo Yizhi returned to the porridge shop where the refugee who had asked him for help was located, and took the refugee to visit.

After reading it, Mo Ruzhi took it to the mansion, and walked out after spending less than a cup of tea in the study, holding a letter painted with fire in his hand.

smiled at the refugee: "Presumably you were sent by Lord Shi to test Mo, Lord Shi should be waiting for your reply somewhere outside Ganxian County." This is a letter from me to your family, and I hope that you will send this letter to your lord and report truthfully everything you have seen. Then he gave the refugee an ingot of five taels of silver.

Since it is Shi Bin's lineage, the quality is of course good. At first, the man naturally pretended to be stupid and refused to answer the question, let alone admit that he was Shi Bin's subordinate, and shrank aside very 'frightened'.

Mo seems not to dwell on this matter, but he is sure that he has found out the true identity of the refugee, and the letter has been written, and he will no longer ask whether the refugee has been submitted to Shi Bin. Seeing this, Shi Bin's subordinates no longer pretended to be refugees, and said that they would send the letter to Shi Bin, telling Shi Bin everything he had seen, but did not accept the five taels of silver, and only said that the military order could not be violated. Then he took the letter written by Mo and left.

Soon Shi Bin saw the letter written by Mo Ruzhi to himself, and after listening to the description of his subordinates, he secretly sighed that Mo Ruzhi was powerful. Although his strategy was imperfect and the interval was a little short, Mo seemed to be able to trust his own judgment so much.

Since it is a talent, of course, it must be enveloped, not to mention that it is still a talent with a compassionate heart, which is really rare. It's itchy and unbearable, so Shi Bin thinks that Mo seems to be under the tent, and it is best for the Mo clan to do so. It must be known that things gather like people and divide them into groups, and it seems that they are so virtuous, and the Mo family should not be bad.

After making this plan in his heart, Shi Bin decided not to ask Mo Yizhi out of Gan County, but to visit this calm and intelligent person himself.

It didn't take long for Shi Bin to appear at the door of Mo Ruzhi's mansion with Xu Feng, and Mo Bizhi was already sitting in the gatehouse waiting, obviously seeing Shi Bin coming, but he didn't get up to greet him in a hurry, but drank green tea, very leisurely. Look, you have to finish the tea before you care about anything else.

Xu Feng was indignant when he saw this situation, he had followed Shi Bin for many years, and now Zheng Qingzhi, Wu Qian, Zhao Kui, and Yu Jue had to greet Shi Bin seriously.

Just as he was about to erupt, Shi Bin gently patted Xu Feng's hand that was clenching the handle of the knife, signaling that he didn't have to care. Seeing Shi Bin's order, Xu Feng had no choice but to obey, but he still glared angrily, looking like he was going to swallow it alive.

After drinking the remaining tea in the cup, Mo seemed to immediately stand up and salute Shi Bin.

"Master Mo doesn't need to be polite, your behavior surprises me, and this official is very happy to know you." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"As long as the adults don't care about the rude and abrupt crimes of the lower officials, the rest don't dare to be delusional."

"Master Mo is calm, but he can surprise people, he is really talented."

"My lord praises falsely, in the final analysis, it is just for promotion. I also know that adults don't like people who are too pedantic, so the lower officials have to take a risky move. Mo replied with a smile.

"Master Mo, you are straightforward, you directly say that you are asking for an official, but you don't use the righteousness of the master for the country and the people as a foreshadowing, it is really bold enough." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Of course, if you want to seek an official here, you still have to understand the adult, but your father-in-law Lord Jia reminded me before I came. But even if Master Jia doesn't remind me, I understand that I must understand my lord. What I have learned is that adults like frank and direct good-seeking real villains, and they don't like hypocrites who are full of benevolence and morality. Mo seemed to say with certainty.

Mo Ruzhi's words shocked Shi Bin deeply, he never thought that Mo Ruzhi would do his homework so well, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Master Mo, if you are a good official who sincerely serves the people and is willing to follow me, I guarantee that your Mo family will never decay." ”

"Thank you for your promise, and you will be faithful. My lord, it is windy outside, and there is a lot of disrespect in this conversation in the concierge, and I ask my lord to go to the study with me to taste tea. ”

Both sides expressed their attitudes, and Shi Bin felt that he had come to the right place this time, so he stepped into the Mo Mansion.

As soon as he sat down, Mo Ruzhi smiled and said, "Your Excellency must be very strange why the subordinate would know that the refugee was your subordinate, while you were waiting for the reply from your subordinate outside the city. ”

This is indeed the mystery in Shi Bin's heart, he doesn't believe that Mo Zhizhi can really predict the prophet, and he doesn't think that there is an obvious flaw in his strategy, so he smiled and motioned Mo Zhizhi to speak out quickly.

"My lord, this is very simple, it's just that the lower officials believe that their decrees are unimpeded."

"Believe that your decree is unimpeded?" Shi Bin was puzzled and immediately asked.

"Because the subordinate ordered his subordinates to follow the adult's previous method in Jingnan to relieve the victims of my Ganxian County, and this decree has been issued for two months, and the implementation is not bad, I have repeatedly entered and exited the city gate and never seen refugees come to beg for alms, but today such a person suddenly appeared, and then contacted the previous understanding of the adult, so it was judged that this was a plan made by the adult in order to test the lower official." Mo Qizhi smiled and apologized to Shi Bin after speaking.

It turned out to be his own apprentice, Shi Bin said secretly. Although the strategy was discovered, Shi Bin was still very happy, after all, having such an apprentice was a very face-saving thing.

"Master Mo, don't be too restrained, this official is born in the army and does not have so many rules for civil servants. Frankly, I appreciate your courage and self-confidence. Shi Bin smiled.

"Thank you, you can afford to look down on the lower officials, and the lower officials are fortunate to have three lives. Xia Guan knew that the Lord had great ambitions, and it was by no means a corner of the place where he could settle down, and it was when I saw these that I had the cheekiness to write that letter, and I would send it to you. ”

"You don't have to praise me like this, I'm just an ordinary person, but I don't want to see my Great Song Dynasty being ravaged by the Yuan people." Shi Bin sighed after speaking.

"Your Excellency is humble, at least the Yuan people pointed out by your lord's soldiers are all retreating for hundreds of miles, not everyone has such an ability. Xia Guan only wants to be able to follow the adults to restore the glory of my Han and Tang Dynasties, and he is satisfied. Mo Zhizhi said very solemnly.

"Master Mo, you are very good at talking at a young age, and you don't make people feel disgusted, and your way is not shallow, hehe."

This time, Mo seemed to have no answer, but bowed his head and remained silent, as if he felt a little embarrassed. Such a small gap made Shi Bin feel very comfortable, although he didn't know why, he had a higher evaluation of Mo Ruzhi.

After saying these polite words, Shi Bin planned to say something serious, "Master Mo, since we talked about anti-yuan, I just want to see what you think of anti-yuan." ”

After listening to Shi Bin's words, Mo Ruzhi frowned slightly, and asked cautiously, "Do you want to hear the truth or do you want to hear lies?" ”

Xu Feng couldn't get used to Mo Ruzhi's unfamiliar appearance, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Of course, you have to tell the truth to adults, do you still want to tell those falsehoods and clichés? My ears are calloused! ”

Xu Feng was furious and Shi Bin didn't stop it this time, but said to Mo Yizhi with a smile: "My guard has a hot temper, don't be unhappy, just follow what he says, I really want to listen to the truth." ”

Mo Yizhi obviously didn't get angry, but apologized to Xu Feng first, and then said, "My lord, this anti-yuan actually depends on nothing else but political clarity, and only with political clarity can the people live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"The problem is that the politics are not clear now, and it is okay in my jurisdiction." Shi Bin said with a sad face.

"My lord, I would like to ask my lordship, how do you think we can ensure political clarity?"

Shi Bin thought about it, but he thought that the emperor was diligent and loved the people, the officials were honest and virtuous, and the people had food and clothing. Later, I really couldn't think of anything else, so I had to say these three points.

"My lord, what I said is true, but my lord has ignored a group of very important people." Mo said calmly.

Ignoring a group of very important people? Shi Bin can't think of any other very important group of people, in his memory is the sentence 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light.' ’

Knowing that it was difficult for Shi Bin to come up with, Mo Ruzhi did not pretend to be profound but said very directly: "That group of people is the one who was recently killed by the adults and several Zaifu for treason. ”

At this time, Shi Bin understood what Mo seemed to mean, and it turned out that he was referring to the scholar clan. Thinking of this, Shi Bin's face gradually became not so kind, and he was obviously a little angry. The person in front of him seemed to him to be the representative of the scholars, who had come to negotiate with him.

"Master Mo, what do you mean by that? Shouldn't I have killed them? ”

"Please don't misunderstand, don't think they should be killed and think that the adults are too merciful, once they commit treason, they should all be exterminated."

"And what do you mean?" Shi Bin's face improved slightly and continued to ask.

"Xiaguan means that the adults should try their best to encircle those scholars who support you and are still loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, as for those duplicity, the lower officials think that the adults can also envelop them, and they must not be forced to the Yuan people, and those who are desperate to take refuge in the Yuan people must destroy the three clans, and even the nine clans are not exaggerated."

After thinking about it carefully, Shi Bin thought that his words were reasonable. If the common people are the cornerstone of the Great Song Dynasty, then these scholars are the reinforced concrete that built the skyscraper of the Song Dynasty. Now that the steel bar is rusty and the cement is aging, we really have to find a way to get these things better again, and we must not push them all, so as to ensure that the Song Dynasty does not collapse so quickly, and I have enough time to strengthen my strength against the Yuan people.

"Master Mo understands what he meant. Thank you for speaking out, I really didn't think about how to treat those nobles in my jurisdiction before, and my attitude was a little simple and rude, which is indeed very unwise. Shi Bin said from the bottom of his heart.

"I feel very fortunate that my lord can be as good as a stream, and there is a point that the lower officials must be honest with, what I said is actually safeguarding the interests of the scholars, I hope that the adults can help a little more, or selfish."

"People are not sages, if you say that you have no purpose but only seek to serve the country and the people, will you believe it?" After finishing speaking, Shi Bin laughed.

After laughing, Shi Bin promised to be willing to guarantee Mo as a general judge in Chengdu, on the condition that it was the support of the Mo family in Tongxiang. This condition is natural, and he agreed without hesitation. It all ended in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
