Chapter 155: Relying on the Old and Selling the Old
"Chen County Order, you hurry up and send the grain to our warehouse in Kaiyang County, so that you are good and I am good." Liu Quan, the county commander of Kaiyang County, said lightly.
Chen Fei immediately appeared with a "#" on his forehead, obviously very unhappy in his heart. This county magistrate of Kaiyang County, Liu Quan, is really a guy who relies on the old and sells the old, Chen Fei still didn't believe it before, but now that he is here, Chen Fei really believes it. Chen Fei planned to sell grain to him to deal with the inspection of the supervising imperial history of his superiors out of official business and colleagues, so that he could be regarded as owing himself a favor. Anyway, after all, it is a person in the officialdom, and he can't offend people everywhere, so it's better to be kind to others.
But this Liu Quan, who is in his fifties, actually relied on the old and sold the old so much, and came to Chen Fei, the county office, as if he was not an outsider, and actually spoke to Chen Fei with a "condescending" look, Chen Fei really wanted to scold him, who does this guy think he is! You are from the county order of the seventh grade, and I am also from the county order of the seventh grade, and Chen Fei is still the county of the state city, and his status is obviously a little higher than him. But this guy didn't seem to treat himself as an outsider, and he also treated Chen Fei with a very proud look. If you don't know, you still think that he is Chen Fei's boss, this momentum is even more powerful than the attitude of Zhang Qiang to meet Chen Fei at that time.
At that time, Chen Fei saw Zhang Qiang, and Zhang Qiang didn't give him such a look, and they were all kind and pleasant. But now this Liu Quan, who is at the same level as himself, actually treats himself like this, he is even more generous than the prime minister, and those who don't know think he is the prime minister!
"Chen County Order, I heard that you have a lot of grain stored now, so you can send it to me, so I can help you store it. It's good for you, what do you think? Liu Quan said with a natural look.
Chen Fei immediately said angrily: "Liu Quan, what is your attitude? Is this your begging attitude? ”
Chen Fei was really angry, this Liu Quan was obviously asking for himself, but he made this attitude as if it was your honor to help me. Since ancient times, asking people to do things has been low-voiced. But this Liu Quan is really the best, he actually came over with a majestic look, and condescendingly ordered Chen Fei to send the grain to him, and he didn't say anything about the purchase price. This attitude of command made Chen Fei very unhappy, and this attitude seemed to be Chen Fei's help to him, but it was Chen Fei's honor, who do you say can stand it! Anyway, Chen Fei is also a county magistrate at the same level as him, why should Chen Fei give him face? So Chen Fei scolded directly.
Liu Quan also immediately said in reverse: "Chen Fei, the old man is fifty years old this year, if the old man doesn't understand." You're only twenty this year, aren't you? The old man's age is almost three times your age, what kind of score are you putting in front of the old man! The old man walks more bridges than you walk, and eats more salt than you eat. You are playing in front of the old man, you are not qualified enough! ”
Chen Fei immediately shouted: "Someone, send off!" ”
Soon, some officials immediately came over and made a gesture to drive this Liu Quan away.
"Chen Fei, do you dare to take away the old man? The old man's qualifications are much older than yours, what are you? You're a junior. The old man entered the officialdom in the former Sui period, and the old man is not ......."
Liu Quan was dragged away by the officials, scolding and scolding, and he looked like he was relying on the old and selling the old. Apparently he was putting on an old legacy. It seems that it makes sense that he is old and has been in officialdom for a long time.
"Damn, rely on the old and sell the old!" Chen Fei finally couldn't help but scold.
Yang Jiaxiang also sighed and said, "We all already know. This Liu Quan is not liked by many people in our Shuozhou. He saw that everyone was qualified to be old, anyway, he couldn't be promoted at his age, so he was relying on the old and selling the old in front of everyone. Specifically take the opportunity to eat more and occupy more, just ask for benefits. And most people don't have a good way to take him, after all, everyone has a time when they get old, so it's not good for everyone to do this kind of offending thing! ”
In this kind of officialdom, the most important thing is to pay attention to old qualifications, and it is definitely beneficial to have old qualifications. Those who are not qualified enough must give some face in front of the seniors. But there are some old guys who are very ignorant, and they actually sell their old qualifications in front of those young juniors, obviously looking down on young people. And these guys who rely on the old and sell the old are often people who are frustrated in their careers, and they can't go up or down from their positions, and they are just at the most embarrassing time. Therefore, at this time, people also want to rely on the so-called old qualifications to find a sense of existence, and by looking at those who are higher than their own official positions in front of themselves with a low voice, as if their vanity has been satisfied, this is actually a pathological psychology.
"He's sick! Gotta be cured! Chen Fei said.
But Yang Jiaxiang said: "Then what can be done? Who in Shuozhou doesn't want to give him some face? After all, they are all villagers, and now the official position adjustment of the imperial court has not yet reached below the fifth grade, and many officials below the fifth rank are locals. And even if it is Chen County's predecessor, it is just that he himself asked for transfer, not to be adjusted. Since everyone is a villager in the village, if you don't look up and look down, no one can offend him. ”
"You mean, it doesn't matter if I don't give him face?" Chen Fei asked.
Yang Jiaxiang said affirmatively: "If Chen County orders you don't plan to give him face, then it's nothing." After all, Chen Xianling is a foreigner, and with the development future of Chen Xianling, it is impossible to be here for a long time. So even if Chen Xianling offended him, it didn't matter. After all, he is already old, and it is impossible to be promoted. Chen Xianling is still young and has a great future, so don't be afraid of this guy. ”
Chen Fei finally realized that officialdom is also a place to eat youth, and if you are older, you will not have an advantage. Of course, there are some older ministers, but those ministers are not the mainstream, but in the vast majority of ancient times, they were about sixty years old as prime ministers, if they are more than sixty years old and cannot become prime ministers, then I am afraid it will be difficult to be prime ministers in this life. Those who are very old and still active in officialdom are just accidental phenomena and cannot be regarded as routine.
However, Chen Fei is not afraid of Liu Quan, who is still a county magistrate at the age of fifty, after all, no matter how he can be promoted, he is definitely not his opponent. So it doesn't matter if Chen Fei doesn't give him face, plus Chen Fei is not a local, so naturally there is no villager factor to take care of him.
"It seems that this guy who relies on the old and sells the old should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, who knows what will happen to him in the future? Chen Fei thought. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
