"Well, Zilin, you stay! I have other things to discuss with you! ”
"What do you command?"
With his waist bowed slightly, Li Ziyuan's demeanor looked very respectful, he knew that compared to the previous masters, the difference between them was that now their identities had sharply changed to the distinction between upper and lower levels.
"Zilin, in the past, you were my friend at home, this is different from the past, in the future, you are here with me, you are the chief official in my scene, and you are Zhu Mou's Zhuge who depends on him, in the future, please help my brother a lot! Little brother thanked you for this! ”
Before the words fell, Zhu Yifeng bowed with both hands and bowed deeply, and the deep bow was not finished Li Ziyuan would respond to this salute, and the lessons in the history books made him understand that the more the proprietor was like this, the more respectful he should be, and in a hurry, he hurriedly knelt down and said.
"How can the villain be worthy of such a big gift from an adult, and please don't torture the villain! In the future, if the adults have any orders, the villain will never give up! ”
At this time, Li Ziyuan will say what "below", since following Zhu Yifeng, he has seen his ruthlessness and scheming, and he knows that although the person in front of him seems to be young, he is actually a scheming Cao Cao and others, and even in his opinion, even when Cao Cao was a teenager, he was not necessarily as ruthless as him, so thoughtful, so he became more cautious, after all, he couldn't do it anyway. With such a grasp of people's hearts, can he not be cautious and careful?
It was Zhu Yifeng, seeing that Li Ziyuan was so polite, so he hurriedly helped him up and said.
"Zilin, how can I afford such a big gift, don't kneel in the future, in my curtain, from now on, I will abolish this kneeling ceremony, this head, from Zilin to you!"
Zhu Yifeng, who seemed to be sincere, still looked like he was gracious when he spoke, and naturally Li Ziyuan also wanted to express his gratitude, because they were all smart people, and after a simple politeness, Li Ziyuan's identity as the chief official in the curtain was decided.
"Zilin, you see, I haven't read many sage books, and I don't have any experience in governing places, now this Huangzhou City has been taken, but how to govern this city is a dark one, Zilin, you have to help me with this!"
The reason why Li Ziyuan was left was to ask for advice on the governance of the city, but Zhu Yifeng's words did not appoint Li Ziyuan to manage the city, but still asked him to assist, as for Li Ziyuan himself, he was naturally happy to do so, although he has now set foot on the "thief ship", but he knows very well that the "Express" can capsize, and the ship may naturally sink.
To the outside world, it is "Zhu Mingzong" who is according to Huangzhou City, not "Zhu Yifeng", as for him Li Ziyuan, it is only Li Zhishen, at least before he stirred up the storm, this pseudonym is always the way of self-preservation, and not directly interfering in the affairs of the city is also the way of self-preservation.
"My lord, this Huangzhou city will still take some time to recover after the catastrophe of the Taiping army in the past, and it will naturally be necessary to settle the hearts of the people first!"
It didn't seem to be much different from the "Anmin Notice" mentioned earlier, but Li Ziyuan said it deeply, and suggestions such as what should be immediately reopened came out of his mouth one by one, and finally he looked at Zhu Yifeng and said,
“…… As for the matter of governance, if you can, if you want to get started as soon as possible and clean up people's hearts as soon as possible, I am afraid you still have to use the old people! ”
"Old man?"
Zhu Yifeng's brows jumped, and he looked at Li Ziyuan in some surprise.
"You mean the old people in the yamen? If I'm not mistaken, the magistrate and county magistrate in this yamen either escaped or were killed, and what old people are there? ”
"My lord is talking about those court officials, those lords and officials, county officials, and the history of each room, saving points and the like, but most of them are locals, they are either not in a hurry, or they are released in prison, your lord may as well release all these people, so that they can make meritorious contributions, these unentered canons, although they are not grateful to the adults, but they will also try their best to do errands in order to survive, and after the locals see these people, they are familiar with each other, and the things in the city naturally tend to recover......"
Pawns, Wardens......
Thinking of this word in his heart, Zhu Yifeng immediately thought of the word "treacherous and cunning officials", those canons and pawns are synonymous with "treacherous and cunning officials", thinking of the ancient admonition of "the way to be an official is the first to govern officials", he couldn't help but hesitate a little, those "treacherous officials" don't know how many Qing officials have been ruined, as for his own side.
"Your Excellency, are you worried that appointing those treacherous officials will ruin your great affairs?"
Seeing that the adult was silent, Li Ziyuan guessed the adult's concern, and then sneered.
"Adults don't need to worry about this, not to mention that they don't have the courage right now, even if someone makes a trick slippery, it's just right, and adults can use their heads to deter adults, why not?"
This is the difference between a traditional scholar and Zhu Yifeng, maybe Li Ziyuan will not kill people with his own hands, let alone be like Zhu Yifeng, who designs fake hands to kill while talking and laughing, but as a staff member, he can persuade the master to kill without hesitation.
Zhu Yifeng naturally did not object to the murder of Liwei, and could even be said to have an approving attitude, hearing him say this, after thinking for a while, he immediately made a decision.
"Okay, I think this can be done like this, but we can't just use these officials as officials, this county magistrate, county or something, it always needs to be appointed, Zilin, what do you think?"
There is no one in his hands, this is Zhu Yifeng's current predicament, and even in his team, the so-called own people are just a group of boatmen and sailors who rely on silver, pointing to them to clean up a group of rough people to teach them to obey, but it's okay, after all, the first thing everyone on the ship needs to learn is to obey the captain 100%.
Who can be referred to? helped himself to take care of Huangzhou City, but there was no possibility at all.
"My lord, this matter is also simple, at the beginning of the people we saved in Wuchang, there were also a few talented people, let them be in the army with a group of rough people, those people always feel a little aggrieved, since this yamen needs to employ people, adults may wish to recruit them, on the one hand, for the yamen, on the other hand, they can be used in the curtain, and there are also some local scholars in this Huangzhou City, so that they can not only win the hearts of the local people, but also solve the embarrassment of the lack of talents under the command of adults."
Although it was only a few suggestions, what Li Ziyuan said was reasonable, and even how to recruit local scholars also came up with the charter.
“…… There are only a few people in the past dynasties, after all, not everyone is good at eight articles, but those who are not good at it are not all without talent, for these people who are good at eight articles, they always look forward to the opportunity to change themselves, and if adults can envelop these frustrated people, why worry about no one to help, why worry about big things? ”
Li Ziyuan's words can be said to be in Zhu Yifeng's heart, maybe he has not rebelled, but he knows people's hearts very well, at any time, this people's hearts need to be encircled and pulled, especially for those who want to succeed. Although he was ruthless for a while, killed people and took soldiers, and seemed to have a firm foothold in this era, Zhu Yifeng knew better than anyone that this foothold was only temporary, and what he needed now was a "red pen master" like Li Ziyuan, maybe they were old-fashioned scholars, who didn't understand science or military, but they knew people and the hearts of the people of this era, which was exactly where they needed to rely on them!
For more than 2,000 years, these scholars and local gentry have been monopolizing and controlling public opinion, and in the eyes of ordinary people, these scholars are the crape myrtle stars in the sky, they respect these people, and are willing to believe and follow them.
Why did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fail? Isn't it precisely because of pushing these scholars into opposition to themselves? They burned down the Temple of Confucius, burned the books, and killed one scholar after another. It seemed to be full of arrogance, and they had the momentum to draw a line with the old system, but they were also doomed to failure, because they pushed all the help to their enemies, to the Manchus, and to Zeng Guofan.
Why did the revolution succeed that year? Isn't it because before the success of the revolution was under the banner of "uniting all forces that can be united"?
Before taking the country, it is not called willfulness, it is stupid to build a strong enemy and push the enemy to the side!
Thinking of Zeng Guofan's tricks that covered the scattered Han scholars and doctors on the grounds of "protecting my famous teaching", Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but think to himself in the bottom of his heart, since you Zeng Guofan can use it, then why can't I use it?
However, I think Zeng Guofan should have already come out of the mountain, right?
