Chapter 28: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes
The Wen Party has been in the officialdom for many years, how can it not understand the truth that the current official is not as good as the current management.
Before Su Ren could speak, Wen Dang knew what Su Ren was going to say. Looking at Su Ren's young face, he kept nodding in his heart. The kid in front of him looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his actions are really leaky, such a person will be a guy who will be in the officialdom in two years.
"Su County Zuoke is talking about those salt merchants in northern Sichuan?"
Su Ren nodded hurriedly, with a sincere smile on his face that was carefully thought through: "Taishou said just now, we have been sued, and I can't help but think about it." ”
I often remembered that although Wen Dang was his teacher, he was the Taishou of Shu County. Although the warm water department is under the jurisdiction of Shu County, even if you want to give Shu County the method of making salt, those salt merchants in northern Sichuan have to send it, since they can get salt certificates, they have more or less something to do with the government. If Su Ren is convicted, he will not be able to get out of it.
glanced at Su Ren gratefully: "Don't blame the teacher, the disciple is only a county order now, and the teacher still needs to mediate a lot in big and small affairs, so it can be justified." ”
"Okay, I'll talk about these things, you don't have to worry about it."
Several people stayed in the courtyard until midnight, and after saying these words, Wen Dang said some poems to Su Ren. For Su Ren's first question, how much sorrow can there be, just like a river flowing eastward, the more you taste, the more you feel it. Su Ren did what he liked, and copied two Tang poems, one of Li Shangyin's Frost Moon and one of Li Bai's Emei Mountain Moon Song. Especially the Emei Mountain Moon Song, which is very appropriate.
The moon of Mount Emei is half in autumn, and the shadow enters the water flow of the Pingqiang River.
At night, Qingxi went to the Three Gorges, and Sijun did not see Yuzhou.
Although it is winter now, it is not very cold. This poem just responds to the current scene, and also writes the poet's strong homesickness, and the Wen Party inevitably begins to miss his hometown Shu County.
No wine, just light flower tea. Wen Dang took a sip and asked Su Rendao: "I heard that Su Xianzuo is also from my Shu County, I don't know where my hometown is in Shu County?" ”
Su Ren was stunned, he didn't expect that the poem he read casually would actually evoke the question of his life experience. He wasn't too flustered, he had already decided on this issue. Hurriedly said: "The villain's hometown is indeed in Chengdu, Shu County, but when he was three years old, his parents died, he was adopted by his teacher, and he followed his teacher for ten years. ”
After saying this, Su Ren lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. I kept mourning my parents at home, don't blame him. In order to survive, and in order not to scare these ancients to death, they can only offend their fathers and mothers.
It's the first time I've heard Su Ren tell such a lie, and I can't help but be a little curious: "It seems that the kid's teacher is also a wise man, presumably this method of making salt is taught by your teacher, right?" ”
"The county guess is good, the family teacher has learned a lot in his life, and the three teachings and nine streams are all refined, how can the villain be stupid, follow the family teacher for ten years, only learn some fur, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall."
When I hear about it, I yearn for it. After learning the fur, it turned out to be such a method, in the past half a year, Su Ren has become a barren place of Laojunguan, as a county commander, he can see it clearly, if he learns it all, won't he become a saint. Suddenly, he saw Wen Dang looking at him, and hurriedly coughed to hide his expression just now. But the words were still spoken with envy.
"Childe's teacher is really a god, if it weren't for the immortal death, I would definitely be admired by the people of the Han Dynasty and seek benefits for the common people in the world."
Wen Dang was slightly jealous: "How prosperous the hundred schools of the pre-Qin princes were, and there are many talents, how can the sages of the world love to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and they can't work for the people of the world, and it is a pity to waste what they have learned!" ”
Su Ren smiled slightly: "Taishou is right, it seems that there are few people in the world who are dedicated to the people like Taishou, and the family teacher is not as good!" ”
Wen Dang's mood instantly improved a lot, and when he looked at Su Ren again, there was a look of appreciation in his eyes: "Hehe, how can the old man compare to Su Xianzuo's teacher, I praise it." ”
I often know that I said the wrong thing, and in order to please my teacher Wen Dang, I hurriedly said: "Su Gongzi has not seen a word since he was born, and the teacher is here today, so it is better to give Su Gongzi a word It is a good thing." ”
Su Ren hurriedly put down the tea bowl and knelt on the ground: "Please also keep the word." ”
There are people in the world who like money, there are people who like women, and this literary party likes talents. Su Ren's two-handed Tang poems just now impressed the Wen Party, and they felt that this person was by no means a thing in the pool. Although he has the reputation of loving talents, it is a pity that the apprentices he accepts are not any leaders. If you give Su Ren words, it means that Su Ren is his student, if this Su Ren has any future prospects, his face will also shine, and his name of love and talent recommendation will be confirmed.
Wen Dang nodded and smiled, very satisfied with Su Ren. Then he thought for a long time: "In the Chinese, the son of a scholar is always a soldier, the son of a worker is always a worker, the son of a merchant is always a businessman, and the son of a farmer is always a farmer, and the boy is instructed by the master, you need to remember the teachings of the master, and don't forget to contribute to my big man, today I will give you the word Heng, is it appropriate?" ”
Chang Shi nodded again and again: "Zi, Shouye, Heng, the meaning of a long time, teacher, this is to let your talent be passed on for a long time, for the benefit of the people of the world, the word Ziheng is the most appropriate!" ”
"Mr. Xie!" Su Ren hurriedly kowtowed.
Wen Dang laughed, and he was extremely happy in his heart.
That night, the Wen Party and common affairs rested in Laojunguan. Huo Qian and Leng Yue had already prepared the room.
The next day, things were as usual in Lao Junguan, and Su appointed Chang Yuan to replace Leng Yue. specially called Leng Yue to the room, dictated by Su Ren, written by Leng Yue, and it took a whole morning to write out the method of making salt in detail. Then he personally sent it to Chang Shi, and Chang Shi sighed, but there was no way, shaking his head and sighing to send it to Wen Dang.
Chang Shi and Su Ren sent the Wen Party ten miles away, and then they went back. Along the way, the common thing is to tighten the brow, and it seems that there is unwillingness.
Su Ren said: "Don't you think this matter is a little strange? Our cloth bag salt has been bought for several months, everything is normal in our Shu County, Taishou did not ask at all, but there was an accident in northern Sichuan, I think this matter is a little strange! ”
Chang Shi was stunned: "You mean, someone instructed the teacher to ask us for this method of making salt?" ”
"I can't rule it out!" Su Ren nodded: "Our bag salt is very tight, and I have already told the salt sellers, as long as anyone is willing to join, I welcome it with both hands, now basically all the salt makers in Shu County, the salt sellers have something to do with our warm water salt company, many salt workshops are I send people to guide them to make bag salt, there are also a few in Chengdu, everyone has no complaints, there must be a problem." ”
"As for saying that Wen Taishou was instructed by someone, it is not necessarily, although I have never dealt with Taishou, I chatted all night yesterday, Taishou is also an upright person, and he will never do such a thing, I am worried that Wen Taishou will be used."
Chang Shi nodded, and he felt that Su Ren's analysis made some sense: "Who do you think it will be?" ”
Su Ren shook his head: "That's hard to say, I've only been here for a few months, and I don't know very much about the things in the county, the things in Sichuan are intertwined, and all kinds of relationships are complicated, I can't figure this out, I can't analyze it." ”
Chang Yuan suddenly said to Chang Shi: "Childe, can the old slave say a few words?" ”
"Say!"
"The old slave thinks that Wen Taishou will definitely dedicate this method of salt making to the imperial court, and there is no benefit to those salt merchants, and they will never do this kind of thing that hurts others and themselves with their shrewdness, unless it is done by someone who has a grudge against us, and the salt merchants of the whole county and even the entire Shu County are basically under our control, with only one exception."
"Liu Wen!" Chang Shi and Su Ren spoke in unison.
After Su Ren's sack of salt came out, Liu Wen looked for common things. But I didn't expect that the common thing was given to Su Renyan. I thought that Liu Wen would find a way to deal with Su Ren, and Su Ren had already prepared a strategy to deal with it, but who expected that this Liu Wen was silent and never appeared again, as if Su Ren's bag of salt had no effect on him. You must know that Liu Wen's family has been operating official salt for generations, and the income of this official salt accounts for 30% of the Liu family's income. With Liu Wen's cautious eyes, it is impossible not to fight back. At first, Su Ren was still rejoicing, but now that he thinks about it, this Liu Wenguo is really vicious. As long as the Wen Party dedicates the method of salt making to the imperial court, it will not be long before his bag of salt will appear in the whole world, and Su Ren's plan to make money by making salt will come to naught.
Chang Shi gritted his teeth: "Okay, you Liu Wen actually stabbed him in the back, it seems that I have to knock him, and I came to tell me yesterday that if I want this year's filial piety quota, this matter has to be considered carefully." ”
Filial piety, also known as filial piety, is a kind of official election system in the Han Dynasty. Since Liu Bang, the emperor will issue an edict to collect talents from all over the world, and every emperor will add some standards to Liu Bang's system. In general, there are two types of people, both filial piety and honesty, filial piety refers to the person who is filial to the teacher, and honesty is naturally an honest official. When Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty first ascended the throne, he naturally had to follow the example of his ancestors, and also issued an edict to let all counties and states be filial and honest. This was the only way to become an official before the imperial examination.
Liu Wen can't be compared with Hou Jian, the Hou family is a county lieutenant appointed by Gaozu himself, and he is hereditary, so the Hou family doesn't have to worry about his family's position as county lieutenant snatched by others. Liu Wennai is a county prince, so he is naturally already filial piety. However, Liu Wen's eldest son Liu Jun is still Bai Ding, and if he wants to take over Liu Wen's position as the county leader, he must become filial piety. Liu Wen has been campaigning for this matter for so many years, but it has not been successful.
Listening to the cruel words thrown by common things, Su Ren felt a burst of joy in his heart. What is called collusion between officials and businessmen, Su Ren knows much more than usual. If you want to do your business well, how can you do it if you are not an official? Now this filial piety is just an opportunity, how can Su Ren miss it.
Su Ren pretended to be surprised and said: "Since this Liu Wen has such energy, he can ask Wen Taishou, the county should be careful, or don't offend this person." ”
Chang Shi snorted coldly: "How can I be afraid of him? If he uses such a trick, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”
