Chapter 645: Calling the Thorn Historians as Donkeys

Since you can be an official, you are all people with a good face, even if you didn't have a good face before, but after you put on the official uniform, you will have to save face. If Wang Ping'an raises the standard of being a good official, he will be praised in a short time, but in the long run, there is no doubt that it will have a very bad negative impact on the officialdom of Datang.

If officials encounter difficulties and find that they may not be able to do well, then they will not work hard to do it, but learn from those Lu people, when they see the compatriots in distress and do not help, they will also go around the difficult things, and they will also make excuses, saying that they are ruling by inaction, and it is a compliment to cure by doing nothing, and if it is used as an excuse, it will not become a derogatory!

Everyone doesn't do anything, and when they encounter difficulties, they will be turtles with shrunken heads, so won't the world be in chaos, why do you still want to be an official, and why do you want the court to do? The common people do their own thing, and it is almost the same as the last years of the former Sui Dynasty!

As soon as Wang Ping'an said the law of the Lu country, Di Renjie suddenly sweated on his forehead, and said: "The younger brother is reckless, and the eldest brother has learned a lesson!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "It's nothing, you are just inexperienced, after a long time, these truths will naturally be understood." ”

Che Sitong thought in his heart: "You are not much older than Di County Ling, right?" You said it lightly, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and now that you have no money, you refuse to give it, so what should I do? Everyone runs and sits on the street, waiting for the world to drop money? I don't have to send it! ”

Che Si Channel: "My lord, you have to think of a way, after all, the matter of money has to be solved within three or five days, otherwise the project will really have to stop!" ”

Wang Ping'an hummed, got up from the chair, and kept walking on the ground, thinking of a way. Che Sitong and Di Renjie looked at him together, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

After a long time, Wang Ping'an said: "I originally planned to sell the drawings of the waterwheel, but now it seems that the progress is too slow, firstly, the news is not widespread, secondly, there is no benefit, no one will spend the capital to buy, everyone is waiting, waiting for others to make the first move, third, those businessmen in Chang'an have not yet arrived, far from the water can not solve the near fire, the urgent need, just rely on our state, can not be solved." ”

Di Renjie said: "Big brother, do you want to advertise or something, send someone to ride a horse and plant a flag, and run around?" ”

Che Sitong's eyes lit up, and he said: "This idea is good, Xia Guan heard that the prince once held a running conference in Chang'an, and the income is extremely rich, why don't we also run in Gyeongju?" ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said: "No, didn't I say it, now the nearby businessmen are watching, waiting for others to make the first move, although local businessmen are also willing to make a move, but that is a favor to go, to be an official to owe favors, wouldn't it be necessary to raise the standard of being an official, not everyone who is an official is willing to owe the people favors!" ”

Di Renjie spread his hands and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?" Everyone knows that this watermill can make a lot of money, but the problem is that it has to make a lot of money in three to five days, otherwise the project will stop. ”

Wang Ping'an looked at the patio and said: "If the official is not good for the people, then the official is against the official, and the benefits are divided, the officialdom is officialdom, and the official is in the field!" With that, he walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote, "I will write letters to Huizhou, Jingzhou, and Yuanzhou, and then write a letter to Lanzhou Thorn History, telling them that I have invented a large waterwheel, each of which can be irrigated...... 10,000 acres of land, let them send someone to see, I will give them one for free in each state! ”

Che Sitong was taken aback and said, "A waterwheel irrigates 10,000 acres? This is impossible, it is too exaggerated, those assassins will not believe it! ”

Wang Ping'an glanced up at him and said, "If I say three or four hundred acres, do you think they will come?" But I want to say 10,000 acres, so will they come? ”

Di Renjie said with a smile: "The problem is that if it weren't for the assassin himself, others wouldn't be able to squeeze out the oil and water!" ”

Che Sitong suddenly realized and said: "I see, the prince actually wants to let the states assassin Shi come in person!" I have a law in the Tang Dynasty, if there is no major matter, the state assassins are not allowed to leave their posts without permission, so to be honest, I am afraid that they will not come, at most they will send people to come, but if you want to say that a waterwheel can irrigate 10,000 acres, then this matter is so big that they have to come in person, and it is not a violation of the laws of the imperial court. ”

Wang Ping'an nodded, thought about it, and said: "Time is too tight, if they rub it off, wouldn't it be a waste of time, and they have to be treated as donkeys and smoked!" ”

Di Renjie laughed and said, "Treat people as donkeys again!" How can the thorn history of the states be used as a donkey? ”

Che Sitong grinned and said, "When a donkey? They are all thorns, local officials, how can they be donkeys? ”

"It's not difficult to get them to come running, as long as I move my pen!" Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "Just change it to a waterwheel to irrigate 20,000 acres...... It's too little, so it's better to change it to 30,000 acres. This kind of waterwheel is extremely difficult to build, I take into account the feelings of colleagues, so I am willing to sell one, but only one, more monks and less porridge, first come, first served, fast hands, slow hands! ”

Di Renjie smiled: "As long as you can bluff them!" ”

Che Sitong scratched his head and said, "But, this is obviously false, those thorns are all old and treacherous, they can't be fooled, right?" ”

Di Renjie said: "Even if it's fake, they have to run desperately." Because, this is the standard for being an official! ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said: "Yes, love the people like a son, this is the minimum standard, if they don't want to run desperately, it means that they can't even meet the minimum standard, so they have to run if they know it's fake." Not for anything else, just to prove to the court how much they think about the people! ”

Che Sitong sighed and muttered: "In this way, they can't even think of a donkey, and they have to desperately prove that they are a good donkey, if they refuse to be this donkey, I'm afraid they won't even be able to be officials!" ”

Di Renjie sighed: "No wonder the common people are willing to raise donkeys, it seems that donkeys are really good things!" ”

Wang Ping'an laughed twice and said, "Yes! ”

Che Sitong scratched his head again, accidentally scratched several hairs, and said: "However, if they come wildly, only to find that this waterwheel can't irrigate 30,000 acres at all, what should they do?" Can't you fight with the prince? ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, shook his head and said, "You are really an elm head." People have misses, horses have exposed hooves, so they say that I have made a typo and write 300 acres into 30,000 acres. Who hasn't written a few typos in their life, is it because of a typo, they fight with me? Not really! ”

Che Sitong couldn't believe his ears, he shouted: "It's okay like this......" The second half of the sentence was embarrassed to shout, you are too laid!

Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie said in unison: "Why not? ”

Che Sitong began to scratch his head again, this time with two hands, scratching not only his hair, but even his scalp fell off, he said: "That, that, then try it!" ”

Wang Ping'an wrote a letter, called the Ouyang brothers, and gave them such and such instructions, teaching them how to tell the assassin history.

Eight hundred miles to send letters urgently, change horses without changing people, Huizhou, Jingzhou, and Yuanzhou must arrive within a day, Lanzhou is a little farther, but it must also arrive in a day and a half.

Ouyang Li personally sent the letter to Lanzhou, and the other states were delivered by the Ouyang brothers, riding the best horse in the Assassin's Mansion, and carrying the spare horses, he went out of the city like crazy and galloped towards the states.

Several states and counties around Gyeongju are the poorest in Gyeongju, and several other states are considered rich, especially Lanzhou, which is a large state, not only has developed agriculture, but also has a cloud of business and travel, and has a rich finance, and has always been not short of money. Wang Ping'an played official against the people, and he couldn't see the effect for a while, but playing official against official and cutting a few unjust heads in history, it was still no problem.

Lanzhou.

Lanzhou Thorn Shi is in the prime of life, thirty-five years old, born in the military, with excellent health, and a hot temper, he is a civilian who has been transferred from a military position, and has just been in office for two months, and Wang Ping'an is about the same, and he is also planning to make a big difference. But he is different from Wang Ping'an, Wang Ping'an's new official took office three fires, repaired local officials, and just used them as donkeys to "make", but Lanzhou Thorn History is different, he is to treat his subordinates as donkeys "pumping", since taking office, he has slapped the boards of several officials, and everyone in Lanzhou officials is afraid of him, he is much more difficult to serve than Wang Ping'an!

Just after noon on this day, an urgent official letter was sent from Gyeongju, and the person who delivered the letter was a general of the Weifu and was of no low rank. Lanzhou Thorn Shi was quite polite to Ouyang Li, handing hand towels and tea, and hospitality.

But when he opened the official document, he immediately became angry, jumped to his feet and scolded, why is this Wang Ping'an doing this, is this playing me like a monkey? There is also a waterwheel that can irrigate 30,000 acres, bluffing stupid boy, not to mention how big the waterwheel is, does he know that to irrigate 30,000 acres of land, how much water is needed?

Lanzhou Assassin Shi was furious, and shouted: "This general, your family assassin Shi Prince, but you play this official like a monkey?" ”

Ouyang Li thought to himself: "No, the master definitely doesn't treat you as a monkey, he just treats you as a donkey, how big is the donkey, how big is the monkey, you look down on yourself too much, you still have a lot of weight!" ”

He put down the teacup and said, "No, how can my master play with adults, adults are laughing!" ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi shook the letter and said angrily: "This letter is full of lies, and there are big traps in it, trying to trick this official into being fooled!" What does Wang Ping'an want to do, do you want to force me to go to Gyeongju? ”

Ouyang Li hurriedly said: "No, no, my master didn't mean this at all." Actually, my master wants to...... Do adults want to hear the truth, or are they lies? ”

The muscles on Lanzhou Thorn Shi's face twitched, and he said: "Of course I want to hear the truth, is it possible that this official still wants to listen to lies?" ”

Ouyang Li stretched out his hand and said: "To listen to the truth, the adults have to give the last general ten taels of gold, and if you want to listen to lies, you don't need to give money!" ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi listened, almost jumped from behind the table, and smoked Ouyang Li's two ear scrapers, your master will play me, you will also play me! He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "This official doesn't want to hear anything, and he won't give you a penny, you get out of here!" ”

Ouyang Li said obediently: "Well, the last general will get out!" Without looking back, he walked out of the lobby.

Lanzhou Thorn Shi looked at his back, bit his lip, and suddenly let out a breath, and said, "Slow, slow, you come back, this official has to listen to the truth!" Come on, give him five taels of gold! After speaking, my heart was extremely distressed, five taels of gold, Wang Ping'an's subordinates' hearts were also very dark, I really dared to ask for a price!

Ouyang Li said: "It's ten taels!" ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi snorted and said, "You dare to blackmail the imperial court officials, you ...... It's just five taels, is there more! "When you meet a scoundrel, no one has a trick, if you want to use a hard one, then you can't ask anything, you can only stretch your neck and be slaughtered!

The servant sent five taels of gold, Ouyang Li put it in his arms, and then said: "After my master received the letter, he immediately wrote this letter and asked the last general to send it to you!" ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi was stunned for a moment, and said, "What letter, whose letter did he receive?" ”

Ouyang Li said: "Whose letter is the first half, you only gave five taels, so the last general only said the second half, if you want to listen to whose letter, you have to give another five taels!" ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi's nose was crooked, and he said: "Left and right, fork him down, and beat fifty military sticks!" ”

Ouyang Li said: "My lord, if you beat me, the cost of the soup medicine will have to be calculated separately, it will be more than five taels, and if you don't give the gold today, the last general will not say anything, if you beat me to death, my lord, the last general is also an official of the imperial court, my lord, you have to be careful that you can't eat and go!" ”

"You, shameless!" Lanzhou Thorn Shi said angrily.

"Master Xie praises, usually others say that I am a scoundrel, and never say that I am shameless, my lord, you have exalted me!" Ouyang Liman didn't care about the authentic way.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Lanzhou Thorn Shi said helplessly: "Okay, I'll give it to you, if you have anything to say, the official will tell your family Thorn History, not like you!" ”

The servant took another five taels of gold and gave it to Ouyang Li. Ouyang Li thought about it and said with a smile: "If you don't have it like this, why be angry!" In the first half, Chang'an sent a letter, I don't know which prime minister it was. With that, he turned away and never looked back.

Lanzhou Thorn Shi was stunned on the spot, didn't he mean that a certain prime minister in Chang'an wrote a letter to Wang Ping'an, and after Wang Ping'an received the letter, he immediately wrote this letter to me! What does this mean, what happened in the DPRK and China, and what is it to test me?

There were other officials in the hall who asked stubbornly: "My lord, ten taels of gold, what a lot of money, should you go to the treasury or your ...... That, that ...... "That means who pays this money, so that the treasury will not come out, it has nothing to do with the treasury."

Lanzhou Thorn Shi sighed, came back to his senses, and said: "I'll talk about this later, don't worry, this official wants to go to Gyeongju first, and he will return in a few days." Well, a waterwheel that can irrigate 30,000 acres of land, how important, this official wants to go and see it in person, if you can get this waterwheel, my Lanzhou people are blessed! ”

Explain the reason casually, he couldn't care about anything else, and he didn't have time to take care of it, so he strode out of the main hall, called someone to prepare horses, took his personal guards and attendants, and followed Ouyang Li out of the city to Gyeongju.

Lanzhou officials were dumbfounded, and they all thought in their hearts: "Something big happened, otherwise it could be so urgent!" ”

Other states are also the same as Lanzhou, if the assassin loses his temper, the Ouyang brothers will knock hard, if he says that he will leave immediately, then even if he knows each other, spare him!

After the letter was sent, it was just dark on the third day, and the four assassins went to Gyeongju, and surprisingly, the Lanzhou assassins were the farthest away, but they were the first to arrive!
