Chapter 1194: Meet Yu Yunwen again
"Chen Yu Yunwen greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." On the official road, the carriage walked slowly, along the vortex river, in a pavilion in the distance, several people stood there, led by a white-clothed scholar saw the carriage in the distance coming slowly, and hurriedly rushed over, respectfully bowing next to the carriage.
"Father Bin, get up!" Li Jing walked out of the carriage, glanced around, and said, "It's not Taikang yet!" How many miles have you been out of town? ”
"The minister hasn't seen His Majesty for a long time, so I'm here to greet Your Majesty, this is no longer in Taikang's territory." Yu Yunwen hurriedly explained: "This is the territory of Qi County, and after that mountain, it is Taikang." ”
"Looks like you have something to tell me." Li Jing looked at a few young men in the distance, and no officials came, so he knew that Yu Yunwen must have something important to tell him, and it could even be said that Yu Yunwen was not doing well in the local area.
"The minister is incompetent, I am afraid that he will live up to His Majesty's expectations." Yu Yunwen said ashamedly: "Although Taikang is close to the Vortex River, in fact, for such a long time, spring ploughing has not been carried out well, and the local gentry and government officials collude with each other, and the ministers have no way to solve this matter." ”
"Oh, officials have always been a chronic disease in the local area, since the beginning of the dynasty to the present, thousands of years of the system has been like this, I once issued a decree, officials can be promoted, can leave their homeland, but in fact, not many people leave their homeland, even if they go to other places to be county commanders, county officials, county lieutenants, these people are unwilling, do you know why?" Li Jing greeted Yu Yunwen and said.
"The ministers think that it is a profit, and if they leave their homeland, the interests of the local land cannot be guaranteed, so these people are willing to stay in their homeland." Yu Yunwen thought for a while and said.
"Yes, in the final analysis, it is interests, interests are moving, although the officials of this dynasty are treated well, but they can't be officials for a long time, if there are corrupt and bribe-takers, they will be punished by the court, but for the gentry, take care of their own clan, they will get huge benefits, and even the court can't manage it." Li Jing nodded approvingly.
"Taikang is located on the edge of the Vortex River, the soil is fertile, most of the gentry's land is by the Vortex River, although the imperial court has recovered a lot of land, but the best is only medium fertile land, the best fertile land has not been handed over at all, the minister in Taikang Xing water conservancy, it has suffered from local obstruction, I don't know how many reasons there are, even some ordinary people have joined it." Yu Yunwen said with a wry smile: "In the Taikang area, the clan power is also relatively strong, even if these people are reluctant in their hearts, but among the clans, some rich families mostly control the power in the clan, so that these ordinary people dare not build water conservancy with the government." ”
Li Jing smiled and said: "Father Bin, your poems are well written, and your strategy is also good, but now you know!" These things don't really have much to do with what you deal with on a day-to-day basis, do they? ”
"The minister's incompetence has worried His Majesty." Yu Yunwen was very young, Li Jing did not let him stay in Bianjing, but was sent to Taikang County, adjacent to Bianjing, it can be said that it is a good place, and similarly, the power of the gentry in these places is very great, which is a great test for Yu Yunwen. It can be seen that Yu Yunwen has been exercised here.
"You are a prime minister, but if you want to be a prime minister, it is impossible not to go through training, and if you have seniority in the Hanlin Academy, what you get is not a real talent of slaughter, but an old fox in the officialdom." Li Jing explained: "It's not enough to have a family and a country, you also need to have talent, which is the most important thing. ”
It can be said that Li Jing's words completely changed the promotion plan of literati. In the past, these literati, after winning the top prize, stayed in Beijing, became a Qing Gui Hanlin, compiled books, learned experience from the book, and made a name for themselves in the literary world, and then they were the national eunuchs, the Ministry of Rites, and so on.
Where are people like Yu Yunwen, whether they are champions or ordinary jinshi, they all go to the grassroots level for training, and with rich experience in handling political affairs, they can have better development.
"The minister is incompetent." Yu Yunwen was excited, this is not the first time Li Jing has said that he has the talent of Zaifu, but this time, what he said made Yu Yunwen's heart even more excited, Li Jing cultivated himself so much, but he disappointed the other party.
"You are young, naturally you are not the opponent of those treacherous villains, this time I came, just to support you, you are a person, you have the means, but you are not ruthless." Li Jing glanced at the handsome Yu Yunwen and said with a smile: "As an official, if you don't have a little ruthlessness, how can you do it, the gentry are of course very important, but these guys, who don't have a little handle in their hands, find him, and treat him ruthlessly, he will definitely be convinced." ”
"I understand." Yu Yunwen hurriedly said. The officialdom is intertwined, Yu Yunwen has just entered the officialdom, and he knows the situation, and he doesn't want to become the public enemy of everyone, which makes the people of Taikang County obstructed in political affairs. Now that Li Jing is supporting himself, he naturally doesn't have to think about these things.
"Let's go! Go to Taikang County to have a look. Li Jing patted Yu Yunwen on the shoulder and said.
"Minister, this will lead the way in front." Yu Yunwen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yu Yunwen doesn't want to miss it like this, Jane is the most important thing in the emperor's heart. How many officials in the world can get the emperor to support them like themselves, where can they find such opportunities?
"This person is Yu Yunwen?" Chai Erniang looked at the young man in front of her, and said with some curiosity: "I have never seen Your Majesty so attentive to a courtier." ”
"He has the talent of a prime minister, and more importantly, he can calm down and do things, which is the most important thing." Li Jing looked at Yu Yunwen's back and said: "Knowing your weaknesses, you never shy away from anything, what to say in front of me, such a courtier is reassuring to use, like some people, relying on their intelligence but being ambitious, such a person can only be a clear talk, can not take on big things, can not be reused." Although Li Dingbei on the side didn't understand the truth, he knew that Li Jing was teaching himself, so he quickly kept these words in his heart.
"Doing things in a down-to-earth manner and being an honest person is easy to say, but how many people can do it." Chai Erniang said with emotion: "Everyone in the world has their own selfishness, and it is indeed not easy for Yu Yunwen to do this. ”
