Chapter Ninety-Seven: Idle Officials Are Busy (Part II)
"In that case, then I'll go and rest first!" Princess Wanchun said.
And after Princess Wanchun left, that Yang Jiaxiang asked again: "Chen County Order, why are you doing this?" If you're tired, it's not good. Why are you tired of not worrying about official business? ”
"You know what? I'm calling this an idle officer! Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei stretched his waist, then sighed and said: "Do with the five senses of adults, I am now the first to come to an idle official to do it!" ”
Chen Fei once watched a TV series in his later life, and it talked about how He Shen, a corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, was able to gradually become a high-ranking official, that is, he had five facial features and five actions. And Chen Fei also remembers this facial features and five things very clearly, because Chen Fei thought it was very interesting at first. And now Chen Fei has also taken advantage of one of them, that is, idle officials are busy doing it.
Back then, when He Shen was the commander of the Eight Banners, this could be said to be a very idle position, but he was actually very busy. And as the emperor, of course, there are many "eyes and ears" below, so he naturally knows this diligent official. As a result, it is easy to get promoted.
Of course, the vast majority of the emperor's eyes and ears were also in the capital, and rarely went down to the county level. But now Chen Fei's situation is different, because Li Lizhen came to this Shuo County, then Li Shimin will inevitably send a lot of palace maids or attendants to take care of this princess. And in this way, these people must report to the emperor about the princess at any time, and they will inevitably mention Chen Fei, the county order. So as long as they report on Chen Fei's diligent administration, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort in front of the emperor?
As an emperor, who doesn't love a diligent courtier? Therefore, as long as Chen Fei can let these emperors' eyes and ears pass on his situation to the emperor, he will definitely be promoted first. There was no opportunity to create an opportunity, and the emperor would not have paid attention to himself, so now Li Lizhen has also created an opportunity, which can completely allow Li Shimin to set his sights on his own Shuo County. And if you don't perform better at this time, isn't it a missed opportunity?
The reason why Chen Fei didn't accompany Princess Wanchun to play here is also for a reason. If you choose to accompany Princess Wanchun to play at this time, then if those who take care of Li Lizhi report the situation to the top, what will the emperor and those prime ministers think? At that time, most of them will also think that Chen Fei is not doing his job, and he actually put aside the official affairs of the government and does not deal with them, and actually accompanies the princess to play.
Of course, although the princess has to be received, if you give up your official duties to accompany the princess, it is your fault. If you give up your official business in order to receive the princess, then the boss will definitely have an opinion about you. At that time, people will think that you are a guy who is sloppy and does not follow the right path.
Now that Datang has just opened the country, the atmosphere of the entire officialdom has not degenerated, so the possibility of being promoted is too low. So if you want to be promoted, it's best not to rely on whiskers to shoot horses. If you let those guys up there think you're a smuggler, you're going to have your future ruined. The current emperor Li Shimin, as well as those prime ministers, most of them relied on their ability to fight hard in the troubled times to get their current status. And if they define it as a smuggler, I'm afraid it's really going to be over.
So Cheng had to give up the opportunity to play with Princess Wanchun, and took the initiative to find something to do for himself. At this time, if those eyeliners can report their refusal of Princess Wanchun's invitation to play, and then leave the county government to deal with official business, it will definitely be able to attract the attention of the higher-ups. After all, it is too difficult to be able to give up an invitation from a princess and concentrate on official business. The person who can do it should be a diligent person who has a clear distinction between public and private. This kind of person, who will he promote if he doesn't promote him!
"Busy with idle officials?" Yang Jiaxiang didn't know what it meant.
However, Chen Fei continued: "Yang Jiaxiang, do you want to have a future during this time? Everyone is busy for me, and this time is busy work, which can make everyone get twice the result with half the effort. If it is valued by the people above, then everyone may be able to have a good future. As your boss, that's all I can help you with! It's a busy time to work, but it's twice the result with half the effort! ”
"Well, we get it!" Yang Jiaxiang said immediately.
If Yang Jiaxiang doesn't understand what it means, then they really go home and sell sweet potatoes, don't come here to be this scribe. As long as you can see that the officials of Shuo County can be diligent in government, then the next step is to establish an impression that Shuo County is diligent from top to bottom. Of course, Chen Fei will not block the future of others, after all, these are his subordinates, and in the future, they will enter the officialdom by themselves, and they will all belong to themselves.
In ancient officialdom, personal dependence was very obvious. If you rely on someone to promote, then you have a label on your head. If these guys can become officials who enter the stream, then they are tantamount to being labeled as Chen Fei, and Chen Fei can be regarded as having the first batch of core teams. Now they are just supporting themselves out of their positions, and once they become official officials with Chen Fei's help in the future, then they will also become Chen Fei's cronies, after all, they all rely on Chen Fei to become officials, and this kind of personal attachment is very serious in ancient officialdom It is difficult to betray at all.
And if Li Shimin's impression of Shuo County is good, then the scribes of Shuo County will have to declare to become officials at the grade level in the future, and the possibility of passing will be much smoother. Because if a scribe wants to become an official, it must be reviewed by the central government, and this is also a channel to enter the officialdom. If the central government sees that the people in Shuo County are very diligent, it is equivalent to creating a brand for Shuo County. It's not just the product that needs to be branded, but also the people. As long as the officials in Shuo County can be made to think that the scribes in Shuo County are diligent and love the people, then the officials of Shuo County will be able to pay attention to them in the future.
"Chen County Order, starting tomorrow, all the scribes of our county government will work overtime, and all the backlog must be dealt with. And, get busy and serve the people! Yang Jiaxiang said.
"That's right, you can do more to survey the people. Personally go down to the village below and see what the people need. In short, keep yourself busy! Chen Fei said.
Yang Jiaxiang immediately said: "Understood! ”
