Chapter 82: Ming Ho
What kind of character is Jia Changchao, where can he not know the benefits of the sand table, but after Xu Deshan said this idea, Jia Changchao suddenly gave Xu Deshan a brain breakdown, and said, "Xu Deshan, you are really whimsical, if the sand table is so easy to make, I still have to wait for you to say, how many states and counties do you know in Hebei, how much area, how can such a large land be made into a sand table." β
Xu Deshan Mo touched his head and said, "If you want to do this sand table, it is naturally not so simple, you have to send people from all states and counties to measure the terrain in detail, report it truthfully, and we will consider it comprehensively, and then conduct on-site surveys to be able to make this sand table." β
Jia Chang said, "How much time will it take?" β
Xu Deshan said, "I estimate that if it is fast, it will be two or three years, and if it is slow, it will be five or six years." β
Jia Changchao slapped Xu Deshan again and said, "That's it, now the river flood is only a few months later, three or four years, five or six years, what do you say to do now." β
Xu Deshan said strangely, "My lord, making a sand table is a thing once and for all, not only can it be used to govern the river, no matter how soldiers are used, Tuntian can be carried out with reference to the sand table, the merit is in the contemporary, the benefit is in the future, why can't it be mentioned, and the river suffers every year, so to speak, this sand table can never be done." β
Jia Changchao thought for a while and said, "What you said is also reasonable, but there is another difficulty in this, you just said, if you want to make this sand table, you need people from all states and counties to survey and map, but the people sent are different, and the results and standards of measurement are also different. β
Xu Deshan said with a smile, "Since this is the case, then I will give them a set of surveying and mapping methods, as long as they draw according to my standards, there will not be much deviation, even if there is a deviation, when the final review is made, it is easy to distinguish and correct." β
Xu Deshan looked at Jia Changchao still unhappy, and said, "Lord Jia, think about it, depicting the land sand table, such a great achievement, if it is completed in your hands, and it will be presented on the occasion of my emperor's birthday, how surprised and appreciative you say the emperor should be, this merit should not still be counted on the head of the adult." β
When Jia Changchao heard this, he was angry at that time, and said angrily, "I, Jia Changchao, am a righteous man and a gentleman, and I am an official in order to benefit the people of the world, I can't do such a sycophant, you don't want to humiliate me here." β
Xu Deshan agreed, and said, "Then I'll rest for a while, I don't know if I live in your house, or go out to find a place to live by myself, if I find a place to live, the house money will not be reimbursed." β
Jia Chang said angrily, "Get out...... Well, you go back and remember to think about your surveying and mapping method, write it down, write it clearly and clearly, and I asked the state officials to learn it. β
β¦β¦
Although Xu Deshan was driven away by Jia Changchao, how could Jia Changchao ask Xu Deshan to really live outside, and appease the highest official on Hebei Road, and the residence must be the largest and best place in Hebei.
Xu Deshan originally thought that he was also from a big family, but when he came to Jia Changchao, he realized that he was really too superficial, what is the business of a six-grade resigned and returned to his hometown, isn't it just like a landlord in the countryside, look at Jia Changchao's family, this is really the top rich life that the powerful people of the Song Dynasty should live.
Poor Xu Deshan has grown up since he was a child, except for the two housewives and a sister, the other women have never seen a few, and then when Jia Changchao brought the two fourteen or fifteen-year-old, flower-like little girls directly to his room, Xu Deshan, who was wearing pants, was stupid all of a sudden, and Xu Deshan was usually sharp-toothed, and he couldn't say half a word in this scene.
"Jia Changchao, how did you read the sage book, don't you know that you have to knock on the door before entering?" Xu Deshan shouted.
"Hehe, this is my home, why don't I have to knock on the door of my own house today?" Jia Changchao grinned, motioned to the two maids to step forward to help Xu Deshan put on his pants, gave Xu Deshan a look, and then walked away very comfortably.
Since then, Xu Deshan has lived here in Jia Changchao, it is said that this is to pacify the embassy, bringing together the military keys of the Hebei state capitals, confidential places, and should be fireproof, anti-theft and anti-outsiders, but Jia Changchao really trusts Xu Deshan, and in a huge mansion, Xu Deshan is allowed to walk back and forth, as long as he does not go to the back house to peek at his daughter-in-law to change clothes.
Xu Deshan is also very conscious, after running to someone's kitchen to steal something a few times and being caught, he is a lot more honest, every day honestly, go to the study to find Jia Changchao to work, if Jia Changchao has something to do, Xu Deshan will read alone.
Of course, Jia Changchao is so good to Xu Deshan, naturally he can't let Xu Deshan be bored at home alone, whenever he has free time, he leads Xu Deshan to visit the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Daimyo's Mansion, and I don't know if it's because Xu Deshan is brought by Jia Changchao, Xu Deshan suddenly became a celebrity in the Daimyo's Mansion, and everywhere he goes, he can be praised, such as wearing beautiful clothes, stepping on his left foot when entering the door, etc
Wait, no matter how much you praise it, in the end, the topic still has to return to Jia Changchao's teachings.
Of course, not everyone likes Xu Deshan, and there are special cases among them, such as the head of the Terracotta Division of the Daimyo Mansion, Ming Ho.
Although it is explained that the pickaxe is doing things in the Terracotta Division, but according to the practice of the Song Dynasty, the military generals can not be in power at any time, so Ming Ho is also the first scientific examination, and the serious 800 scholars were born, but because the Ming Ho is rough and makes people look quite brave, so since Ming Ho became an official, he has never left the army, from the defense officer, to the Dali Temple, to the judge, the general judge, the Shaanxi defense envoy, etc., anyway, the chief has not done it, and he has done it as the local second-in-command, and it is mainly military.
In fact, there is nothing bad about such qualifications, the second-in-command is the second-in-command, as long as he can be promoted every year, he will not get it, but Ming Ho doesn't think so, he always feels that he is a scholar, he should have made suggestions and suggestions for national affairs, but it really can't work, he can also govern one side and benefit the people, but now he is bound to this half-literate and half-martial position, which is far from his ideals, and Ming Ho is very depressed in his heart.
Of course, depressed to depressed, Ming Ho is still quite serious and responsible, especially when he was a defense envoy in Shaanxi, he once served under Fu Bi Fan Zhongyan, and learned a lot of ways to be an official from the two ministers, and really applied it to himself, so Ming Ho is an official, honest and rigorous, iron-faced and selfless, dedicated to the public, and has the appearance of catching up with Fan Zhongyan in his work attitude.
Ming Ho has been the chief manager of the Hebei Terracotta Division for two years, he worked so hard, in order to get rid of his military career, according to Ming Ho's assumption, he has been the head of the Terracotta Division, if he can perform well, and then there are some small credits, then next year, when the Ministry of Officials is reviewed, why don't you give yourself a half-level, and above the Terracotta Division is the front of the palace command division and the guard soldiers and horses, the front of the palace is in charge of the world's forbidden army, the guards and horses are in charge of the border army, etc., and the head of these two divisions, It must be the emperor's cronies, naturally it is not his turn, in this way, he will have the opportunity to enter the Privy Council or the Ministry of Zhongshu and other departments, although the power is not necessarily as big as it is now, but it is better to get rid of the word army.
Ming Ho has been thinking about it for more than a year, and seeing that as long as he boils for another year, he can achieve positive results, Ming Ho is still very happy in his heart, but at this time, Jia Changchao brought Xu Deshan here, at first, Ming Ho thought that Xu Deshan was a relative of Jia Changchao, after all, not long ago, Xu Deshan asked for directions at the door of Ming Hao's yamen Ming Hao also knew, but after asking, Ming Ho knew that this Xu Deshan had no blood relationship with Jia Changchao, and looking at the current situation, the two were also teachers and friends, Walk closer than relatives.
It stands to reason that even if Xu Deshan is a disciple of Jia Changchao, there is nothing, Jia Changchao is already a lot old, who is not allowed to accept disciples, but if you accept disciples, you will accept disciples, and it doesn't matter if you accept a smarter disciple, but it is your fault to show off, especially Jia Changchao said in front of Ming Hao, "This Xu Deshan, he is so capable at a young age, in a few years, with a letter from me, you can go straight to the court, not to mention that you can enter Zhongshu Province, at least you don't need to go out to practice." "It annoyed Myeongho.
It is said that women's minds are sensitive, but in fact, men's minds are similar, if it is said that in the sore spot of people, it doesn't matter who you are and what the relationship is, the same must turn your face and deny people. And Ming Hao's sore spot is in his experience, in the Song Dynasty, the military generals were one level lower than Wenchen, and Ming Hao has almost dealt with military generals all his life, he feels that he has also become half a general, half a head lower than other Wenchen, so Ming Hao is very unconvinced.
It's all the same is to study and rush to take the exam and the first Jinshi background, why can some people stay in Kaifeng directly, enter the three divisions and six Longtu Pavilion, and they have to go out to be an official, and they are still a military attachΓ©, this problem Ming Ho has thought about it for most of his life, and finally understands that his own experience has nothing to do with his appearance, and the most critical point is that there is no one behind him.
There are so many Jinshi in the new branch and the first every year, and the official position in Kaifeng is so little, naturally some people stay and some leave, some people's official positions are good, some people's official positions are bad, and there are people behind them, backed by the prime minister's three envoys, privy envoys or even any internal official, and a greeting to the officials, you can get a good position, and people with no background like Ming Ho can naturally only pick and choose among the remaining positions, Ming Ho This is still good, at least he is an official in the Central Plains, And those who were sent to Yunnan, Guangxi, Hainan and other places for the first official positions have no place to cry.
Thinking about this, Ming Ho is even more unconvinced, they are all the same people, why are some people not as capable as themselves, but also occupy a better position than themselves, Ming Ho has always regarded this as a motivation to motivate himself, keep moving forward, constantly surpassing, and finally came to today's all the way to the head of the army.
Although it shows that the pickaxe has succeeded, proving that even if he has no backer, he can still sit in the top position, but Ming Ho still looks down on the person who clings to the powerful and relies on the relationship to be an official, before under him, as long as he knew who was promoted by the relationship, he gave him a lot of small shoes to wear, and now, Xu Deshan successfully hit the muzzle of Ming Ho.
In Ming Ho's eyes, this Xu Deshan has only
At the age of a few years, at most, he can recite a few articles, write a few big characters, and what other skills can he have, and he can be blown by Jia Changchao as unparalleled in the world, and the future prime minister is the same, isn't this a bragging, even if he can stay in Kaifeng in the future, it depends on Jia Changchao's relationship, not his true ability.
Xu Deshan was really wronged, since he was brought to Ming Ho by Jia Changchao, he only said hello, and then he didn't say a word, he saw Ming Ho's face change, he frowned coldly at himself, sneered, and almost picked up a broom to drive himself away, Xu Deshan was very strange, he didn't do anything, how was he okay when he entered the door, and it became like this all of a sudden.
In fact, Xu Deshan's impression of Ming Ho is very good, it may be the reason for the complementary personalities, Xu Deshan's favorite is the kind of person who is stereotypical and serious, Ming Ho is in Xu Deshan's arms, his style can be seen from the soldiers at his door.
Xu Deshan tried, he tried very hard to get close to Ming Hao, but Ming Hao glanced at Xu Deshan and ended this conversation with a cold snort, even Jia Changchao could see that something was wrong, and finally ended this conversation awkwardly.
Ming Ho looked at Xu Deshan unpleasantly, Xu Deshan was still not convinced, this Ming Ho, what does it mean, you see other officials see themselves, don't care for what, at least the most elders, you have to pretend to be cold and ask for warmth, but this Ming Ho, is it a look-alike, just look at yourself and know that you don't like yourself, how can such a person live in the officialdom until now, and achieve the position of the head of the Terracotta Division.
Xu Deshan originally thought, he is not a woman, how can he make all men like it, not to mention that even if it is a woman, the type of man likes is not the same, Ming Ho doesn't like himself, it's normal, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, just let him go, but then Xu Deshan thought about it, but he felt that it couldn't be like this, what did he come to Jia Changchao for, not to enjoy happiness, he came to help Jia Changchao, quickly and safely quell the Maitreya Buddhist rebellion, this is his top priority, As the head of the Hebei Terracotta Division, Ming Ho has more than ten years of military career, once the conquest rebellion begins, Ming Ho is most likely responsible for leading this war, and if he does not have a good relationship with Ming Ho, in the war, how to give Ming Ho advice and minimize the losses of this war.
Xu Deshan is a stubborn person who admits death, after realizing this, Xu Deshan secretly calculated Ming Hao, so the next day, Xu Deshan did not go to the study to help Jia Changchao work, he finished eating in the morning, and went straight to the Terracotta Division, as the most popular child in the current Daimyo Mansion, he is naturally well-known, especially with a few soldiers at the door of the Terracotta Division, and after Xu Deshan arrived at the door, naturally no one dared to stop him, and someone hurriedly reported to Ming Hao, saying that Xu Deshan was coming.
Ming Ho had just gone to work at this time, poured himself a cup of tea, and was about to look at today's military affairs, at this time he heard that Xu Deshan was coming, Ming Ho suddenly felt awkward in his heart, and said that what is this Xu Deshan doing here, he is not related to him, let alone his teacher, does this Xu Deshan still want to pat himself on the back, and ask himself to support him.
In Ming Hao's impression, he is the head of the Hebei Terracotta Division, although his words are not effective, but no one dares to blatantly disobey it, but Ming Hao just said not to see Xu Deshan, and began to look down at the book, but after waiting for a while, he suddenly looked up, and saw Xu Deshan standing in front of him without knowing when, so frightened that Ming Ho did not hold the pen, and drew a heavy stroke on the official document.
Ming Ho is so angry, originally I thought that this Xu Deshan would only pat on the back, but now it seems that Xu Deshan has not been educated, what kind of place is here, where is he thinking that he can enter if he wants to, Xu Deshan is also a disciple of Jia Changchao, why don't you understand these rules, those people under him are also, they usually look like dogs, why can't even a child be stopped, after watching the whip for a few days, someone has an itchy butt.
Don't say anything, Xu Deshan is already standing in front of him, Ming Hao, who has always regarded himself as a scholar, is really unwilling to lose his temper for a child, which will damage his image, so he politely asked Xu Deshan to sit, Xu Deshan was not polite, he really found a place to sit down, and Ming Hao ignored Xu Deshan, and continued to look down at his military affairs, thinking that Xu Deshan, this child, would be bored for a while, and he would leave.
So Ming Ho is as if Xu Deshan is not here, serious correction, at this time there is not much military affairs, but it is not something that can be read at once, Ming Ho deliberately extended a little time, an hour down, then there is no military affairs left, wait for Ming Ho to look up again, and then look at Xu Deshan, but see that Xu Deshan not only did not go, but sat there comfortably, and by the way, he also ate the snacks and tea on the table.
I don't know why, Ming Ho, who is used to seeing countless officialdom methods, was afraid of Xu Deshan all of a sudden, because other officials came to him, whether it was asking for food or money, standing outside for a long day or kneeling for a night, Ming Ho was not afraid in his heart, and if he didn't care, he didn't care, but Xu Deshan was different, because looking at Xu Deshan's posture, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Xu Deshan was planning to come with a permanent residence, and in this way, Ming Ho really hadn't encountered it
