Chapter 61: Exiled (I)
When Chen Fei saw that person, he was immediately a little flattered, this middle-aged man was Du Ruhui, the secretary of the ministry who had just taken office. And the name Du Ruhui, even if Chen Fei doesn't have to check his mobile phone, he knows that he is a well-known prime minister in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. And now he actually took the initiative to stop himself and let himself go to Shangshu Province, is there something good? However, Chen Fei thinks that with Du Ruhui's identity, he will not pit himself, and he will not use this method if he wants to pit himself. Therefore, Chen Fei followed Du Ruhui to Shangshu Province, and then went to the room belonging to the Ministry of Officials, and listened to Du Ruhui's admonition.
"Chen Fei, you also have some credit this time, so it is enough to improve several levels, but do you know where I plan to let you become an official?" Du Ruhui asked.
Chen Fei immediately said: "I am a brick of the imperial court, where do you need to move it!" ”
"Don't be sloppy with me, where do you want to go?" Du Ruhui asked.
And Chen Fei looked at Du Ruhui's expression, and said helplessly: "Du Shangshu, don't embarrass me, where can I decide this kind of thing?" I see that Du Shangshu already has an idea in his heart, so let's ask Du Shangshu to speak! ”
Du Ruhui took the initiative to say: "I plan to release you out as a county magistrate!" ”
Chen Fei was a little stunned when he heard Du Ruhui's words. As a descendant, Chen Fei certainly knows what "release" means. From ancient times to the present, the decentralization of officialdom refers to the transfer of officials from the capital or high-level departments to local officials, and that is, the petty officials of the central and large yamen are delegated to local posts. And this is a process that many central officials need to go through, because after the release, there will be a certain level of promotion.
However, Chen Fei, as a descendant, of course knows the advantages and disadvantages of release. Although the release can be promoted, in the big yamen, you can often contact the leaders, as well as various high-level officials, and it is easy to be promoted. But the price, that is, the right of the official position, is relatively small, because being an official in the big yamen, that is, a maid with the key, cannot be the master. However, decentralization is different, and after decentralization, he is the leader of a place or department, and it can almost be said that he does what he wants inside and outside the scope of his authority. One is a Beijing official with small power, and the other is a local official with relatively large power, which is indeed a little difficult to choose.
Of course, there is another disadvantage of foreign parties, especially in ancient times, which was even more dangerous. Because the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, and the information communication was inconvenient, once it was released, what should you do if you were forgotten by the leadership? Once it is released, it will be far away from the high-ranking officials of the central government, and even far away from the emperor. If I don't remember you at that time, I am afraid that you will have to be a magistrate for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to return to the central government as an official. In ancient times, it was easy for central officials to be promoted, while local officials were rarely promoted to senior positions. If you can't make any achievements, then maybe you will be a magistrate for the rest of your life and can't return to the center.
"Du Shangshu, can I not go?" Chen Fei said with some embarrassment.
After all, Chen Fei is just a person who wants to mix official welfare, and he doesn't have too many ambitions to progress in his career. So he still wants to stay in Chang'an, because Chang'an is the capital of a country after all, and all kinds of supporting facilities are also very complete. From life, entertainment, to various educational facilities are very complete, and the quality of life in Chang'an is also very high. This is why from ancient times to the present, people want to run in big cities, those in the countryside want to go to the city, the city wants to go to the big city, and the big city wants to go to the big city in a foreign country. This is because the big city has all kinds of living facilities and infrastructure, so few people are willing to leave.
Chen Fei is not a very ambitious person, he can rely on his annual income is almost equivalent to the income of millions in the later world, and he is also a wealthy class in Chang'an. So he can live on a good income, so why go to an outside place to be an official? In ancient times, it was not comparable to later generations, and the living facilities of a county in later generations were comparable to those of ancient big cities. At present, the standard of living in Chang'an is compared with that of later generations, that is, it is just a county seat. So Chen Fei didn't want to leave Chang'an at all, Chang'an was like this, so what would happen to other counties, I can't imagine this.
"Smack!" Du Ruhui slapped the table heavily and said, "Do you think that the official position of the imperial court is that you can come and go whenever you want, and you can pick and choose the fat and thin casually?" Who do you think you are? I can tell you, you have to go this time, and I've thought about where to go. I plan to transfer you to Shuo County in Shuozhou as a county magistrate in the capacity of the official secretary. ”
Du Ruhui then softened his tone and said, "Chen Fei, I'm a talent for you, I can cultivate you!" Do you know? You saved Li Jiancheng's daughter at that time, but the emperor didn't have a good impression. But fortunately, you were able to make meritorious contributions to resist the Turks, and you were able to organize the people to support the soldiers at the front, and the emperor finally reversed his impression. However, now it's just a matter of flattening out. Now I have sent you to be a county magistrate, that is, I want to exercise your experience as a parent official. Don't accumulate steps, don't travel thousands of miles. If you can't even manage a county, then how can you be a good assistant across the country? And do you know why I was the first to meet you in the first place? That's because I value you, that's why you were the first to come to see me. I have to deal with the official position transfer and title promotion of so many meritorious heroes, why should I consider you first? Isn't it because I appreciate that you are a talent and want to cultivate you? Don't be ignorant, if you can't understand my hard work, then you can fuck me off, don't stand in the pit in the officialdom and don't shit. ”
Chen Fei smiled bitterly, what else could he say? Du Ruhui has also said that it has come to this point, it seems that Chen Fei will not be able to release it. This time, it seems that it must be released, and it is released to be a county order. At present, the lowest-level county order of Datang is from the fifth rank to the seventh rank. The county order under the capital is on the fifth grade, and the county that Chen Fei is going to should be from the seventh grade. In terms of level, Chen Fei has been promoted four levels in a row. This kind of upgrading to four levels in a row is something that no one else dares to think of. Now that I've met it, I'm going to be sent out, which is really a bit speechless.
"Okay, Du Shangshu, I'm willing to be the county magistrate. But where is this Shuo County, I must know where I will become an official when the time comes! Chen Fei said.
