Chapter 3 Can't afford to wait
Looking at Li Xi, who was dressed in a jade green official robe, Li Xi was really embarrassed.
Needless to say, his nephew's downfall before, just a month ago, because he took the initiative to ease the relationship and was rejected, he was also very angry and disdainful to say that Li Xi may not be in the future, at that time I thought that even if Li Xi was a kid, no matter how talented he was, when he got to the fore, he could be compared to his uncle in the government, and he didn't know what it was, who knew that in the blink of an eye, the other party was already his top boss.
Come and bow your head to see each other at this time, how can people not have indescribable bitterness in their hearts?
Li Xi looked at him steadily, and thought of a lot in his heart, including the hatred of Li Xi for his second uncle that was gradually fading in the depths of his mind, and the scene when he refused to take the initiative to repair him.
At this time, looking at the embarrassment and helpless smile on his face, he suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful, although Li Xi knew that he was already the top boss of the other party at the moment, and he could always find a way to humiliate the other party again, and it could be regarded as helping the original Li Xi to breathe a bad breath, but for some reason, in the end, he only sighed, waved his hand and said: "I know, I am going to go out to deal with some things soon, you go out first, I will call you if there is something." ”
Although he disdained to reconcile with him, Li Xi still felt that there was no need to humiliate him again.
Li Wei lowered his head when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to take the initiative to say something close again, and try to see if he could save some of the relationship between each other, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was really shameless, and finally turned around and walked out.
It's just that at this time, Li Xi's hand knocked on the table, but suddenly said: "I heard that Li Fang is going to be expelled from the county school?" ”
Li Xi was stunned when he heard this, and it seemed that he quickly felt that Li Xi's words had a different taste from before, and immediately turned around, rubbed his hands with hope, and said, "Yes...... There is such a thing, then Lin Xuezheng ......"
Li Xi waved his hand and interrupted him.
Needless to say, Li Xi also knew what was going on. As early as Zhou Qiong and Liu Bo had spread the news that Bao Ju had been appointed as the chief secretary of Jinyuan County, Lin Meiyu took the initiative to visit her home.
And three days ago, I don't know who this Lin Meiyu got the letter from, probably because he felt that he was already sure that he was sitting in the position of the head of Jinyuan County, so he went over to visit again, and the respect between the words was self-evident, and he also euphemistically mentioned Li Fang's matter, saying that he was not qualified to enter the county school, and the implication was naturally that he knew that Li Xi and Li Fang and Li Fang's father and son were not in harmony, so he wanted to curry favor with Li Xi by suppressing Li Fang.
At that time, when he heard him talk about this, whether he still hated the other party or not, but at least Li Xi still disdained to use this method to deal with others, but at that time, Lin Meiyu's attitude was very humble and made it clear that he wanted to be effective, so it was not good to dismiss him on the spot, Li Xi simply kept silent, who knew that the next day there were rumors that the county school was going to expel Li Fang.
And yesterday afternoon, because the news that the assassin Yamen had received his appointment letter was spread, Lin Meiyu, who had a very sensitive nose, hurriedly ran over again, claiming to be under the door one by one, but it seemed that he forgot not to mention that a month ago, even now, Li Xi was still a student of the county school. At that time, he had also tactfully expressed his merits, but Li Xi was still the same as last time, and did not pay attention to his stubble.
It's just that today I saw that Li Fang happened to be assigned to his own name so coincidentally, so I suddenly remembered this matter again.
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "That's it, go back and go to Lin Meiyu Lin Xuezheng, just say that I said, Li Fang is more than enough to be a county student, please cultivate more." ”
Don't look at Li Xi is only eighteen years old at the moment, and the person standing opposite is still his second uncle, but people rely on official authority, officials rely on people, Li Xi, who is originally in shape and calm temperament, at this time he wore a jade blue nine-grade official robe, sitting upright behind the bookcase, which gives people a calm and majestic feeling, and even he himself seems to have been unconsciously immersed in this peculiar atmosphere, so when he said these words at this time, he unconsciously brought some official flavor, Immediately, Li Wei unconsciously collapsed his waist again.
Then he reacted to Li Xi's meaning, and he immediately nodded gratefully and said yes. Rubbing his hands, he wanted to say a word, hesitated but didn't dare, just a timid flattering smile on his face at the moment, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, the third brother went over to talk to me, and our two brothers drank a few glasses, and they all said that the eldest brother is blessed by the spirit in the sky, and our Li family is rising again, I'm afraid it's just around the corner." ”
Li Xi smiled and didn't speak.
In fact, the reason why he took the initiative to ease the relationship with his second uncle Li Wei today was also to take into account the problem of the "Li family" that the third uncle often talked about.
In the past, I never thought about being an official, thinking about it myself, whether it was business or studying, or simply not doing anything, just being an idle man who lost his hand, there was really no need to deal with Li Wei and them anymore, but now that he is an official, there are some things that cannot be ignored.
When people pay attention to the concept of clan, when you are down, the clan can ignore you, but once you shake up, if you don't care about the clan, then how much will always be criticized, and even when the boss wants to appoint you to a new position and inspect you, if you are a clan relationship is not good, then it is possible to directly remove your appointment.
In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty at present, there is a passage in the Analects that the son said: [He is also a filial brother, and those who are good at offending the superior are rare; It is not easy to commit, and those who are good at making trouble are not there. It's still very reasonable. Therefore, although no matter how well the clan relationship is handled, it is unlikely that you will be promoted, but if the clan relationship is not handled well, it is very likely that you will not be promoted, but will be demoted.
Therefore, Li Xi, who knew that everything on his own would have to go from then on, didn't want this inconspicuous little problem to become a flaw that would be attacked in the future.
Whether it is for Wu Lan, or for Yang Guifei, who is closer to the future earlier, he must let himself continue to climb up steadily.
At this time, Li Wei looked at Li Xi's face, and felt a little uncontrollable excitement in his heart, and said timidly at the moment: "Before, it was me, the father, who taught him no way, Li Fang and him...... Hey, don't care, if you have time in the evening, I want to set up a table of wine at home, and then let your third uncle go too, and let Li Fang serve you wine to make amends......"
Li Xi raised his hand again to interrupt his words, and said: "My new official has taken office, and the matter has not been sorted out yet, and now that our Jinyuan is being flooded, the county commander has personally gone to the fields to inquire and investigate, how can I drink without anything." Let's get back to that. ”
Although Li Xi opened his mouth and refused, but he heard the meaning of his words that still left a lot of leeway, Li Wei was only happy in his heart, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, you are right, go back, talk back, let's talk about it, we can do it at any time......"
After hesitating for a moment, he opened the door and looked out, and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so he closed the door and walked to Li Xi's bookcase, and whispered: "Be careful, Pei Jun, that old guy specially gathered a lot of people yesterday afternoon, and also called me, saying that everyone should work together to chill you for a while." ”
Li Xi nodded when he heard this, and said lightly: "Got it, thank you." ”
Li Xi nodded, there was nothing to say, he was about to turn around and go out, Li Xi hesitated for a moment but said: "When the county magistrate comes back, I will apply to him to transfer you away, not by my side, don't think about it." ”
Li Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what Li Xi meant, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
There is a system in this dynasty, fathers, sons, grandchildren and grandchildren are not allowed to be officials in the same place, and officials are not allowed to be officials and villagers. That is to say, fathers and sons, as well as grandfathers and grandsons, cannot be officials in the same yamen, at least not in a subordinate relationship, and as long as they are liuguan under the jurisdiction of the ministry, they cannot return to their hometowns to serve, and they are afraid of collusion in the township.
Although Li Xi is only an official and is not under the jurisdiction of this decree at all, it is not too much for Li Xi to be cautious.
After listening to Li Xi's words, after Li Xi praised it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after he got the quasi-letter that Li Xi was really about to serve as the chief bookkeeper in Jinyuan County yesterday, he only thought about how he should face this nephew and his boss, but he didn't expect to go up.
If you want to say it, you really can't disagree, Li Xi was such a thoughtful person when he was his father!
It's no wonder that although their father and son are separated by more than ten years, they can become officials one after another, and they are both the main bookkeepers as soon as they make a move, but they can only nest in the position of a small knife and pen official for more than ten years.
understood what Li Xi meant at the moment, and Li Xi walked out after agreeing.
Seeing him close the door, Li Xi couldn't help but sigh, and then stood up himself.
In fact, to talk about it, Li Biao's father and son certainly have such and such problems, but in the final analysis, the heart is not too bad, besides, the most important thing is that he still can't be ruthless, as the saying goes, he reaches out and doesn't hit the smiling person, he has already beaten once, but the second time is not very easy to start, not to mention that he still has a blood relationship with himself?
That's it, and that's it for now.
※※※
Without waiting for lunch, Li Xi, who was extremely bored, had already left the county office, went to the door and took his own carriage all the way back to the house, washed his hands and sat in the study, and then tapped his fingers on the bookcase in front of him.
As the rain poured incessantly, it seemed that all the people had been forced to be idle, the construction of the winery was suspended, the door to the family was also suspended, the craftsmen naturally had to be idle, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and most of the shops of all sizes were not open, so they opened the door, at most they put up a door, just waiting for some regular customers to come. However, the yamen was busy because of the increasingly serious waterlogging, not to mention anything else, even the county order had to go down to the field to visit the disaster.
But he has nothing to do.
After all, Pei Jun is only a county official, and Jinyuan County is the residence of the Shuzhou Thorn History Yamen, so he is not so powerful that he can cover the sky with one hand, but after all, he has been operating in this county government for many years, and even the county magistrate can't break through his shackles, and he wants to push himself on the cold bench and set it up, but it is really easy.
If you just want to mix up your qualifications and get up slowly, you don't have to fight with him for anything, speaking of which, I'm thinking about other people's daughters-in-law here, and I'm still thinking about arching people over there, and I want to save face, so I can't help but take others too seriously, but the current situation is strong.
Not to mention that if you don't climb up as soon as possible, you are not qualified to argue with Wu Lan's identity at all, just thinking that Yang Damei, who is far away in Luoyang, is already fifteen years old this year, Li Xi feels that the situation is urgent.
He knows that nowadays men and women in the Tang Dynasty are married early and have children, and it is not uncommon for women to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, even if they are later, they will definitely get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, that is to say, they have less than three years at most, and even think about it urgently, maybe there are still two years, or even ...... year.
Of course, even if it is a delusion, but if he can't even sit still with a small Jiupin master book, and can't even cope with Pei Jun, wouldn't he disappoint Wu Lan, who has always had high hopes for himself? What kind of face do you have to knock on Yang Huahua's door?
Thinking of this, Li Xi got up angrily.
At this time, there was still some time before lunch, so I stopped eating at home and went directly to the field.
The county magistrate went out to investigate the disaster, and he was his official in the main book, so after taking office, he went to him to report, but there was nothing to blame, and the most important thing was that the county magistrate who was sitting in the county government did not arrange an errand for himself, so wouldn't it be reasonable to go to the countryside to find the county magistrate and visit the disaster together?
Thinking about this, Li Xi immediately called someone to come, ordered someone to prepare horses, and prepared rainproof equipment such as clothes.
Just waiting for the next person to prepare things, the old man Li Yifeng suddenly came over.
As soon as he entered the door, he didn't have time to give a salute and asked, "I heard that the adults asked people to prepare horses, but they want to go to the countryside?" ”
Li Xi nodded, asked Li Yifeng to sit down, and then said: "It's better to take the initiative to go down to the county magistrate to see the disaster situation together than to stay at home and wait for death." ”
Li Yifeng shook his head slightly when he heard this, weighed it for a while, and then said: "My lord, please forgive the old man for being blunt, you want to see the county commander Zheng Shuang Zheng, this is okay, he has been in office for more than a year, but he has always been restrained by Pei Jun, and he can't stretch out his hands and feet, you go over at this time, with your background and your current identity, you can hit it off with him, and everyone joining forces is also beneficial to both parties, but at this time, you have been inconvenient in the past!" ”
"Oh? How so? Li Xi was a little puzzled when he heard this.
Li Yifeng stroked his beard and said: "As far as the old man knows, the current Shuzhou disaster has been completed, and Jinyuan is the most severely affected county, according to the rules of previous years, once the local disaster is affected, even if the Yamen and the household department of Jiannan Province allocate some money and grain and rice to relieve the disaster, but at most it can only be used for three or five percent, so once there is a disaster, the officials everywhere are complaining, the people can not help but care, and there is a disaster can not be relieved, but the government is not a business, most of the annual taxes have been handed over, and there is not much grain in the treasury at all, But what do you want to use to help the people? ”
After thinking about it, he said: "Our Jiannan Dao, especially our Shuzhou, is actually the best, carefully calculated, although there are some small disasters every year, but almost no obstacles, so the officials are still good, but this year is different, you have seen the heavy rain this year, in the old and foolish opinion, I am afraid that many places in the entire Jinyuan County will be out of production, a season of rice is out of production, what a big disaster this is, and this does not include the farmland of many families is washed away, even if the late rice can be planted, it can also be harvested, but it will definitely reduce the yield." , and many families have even washed away their houses...... This disaster is too big. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't stop shaking his head and sighed: "If there is no disaster and no difficulty, you will go to meet the county magistrate immediately after you take office, and stand with him as soon as possible, there is no doubt that it is the best way, but at the moment, you stand next to the county magistrate, which means that a huge responsibility will fall on your shoulders, but this responsibility ...... It's not easy to bear! ”
After thinking about it, he looked up at Li Xi's face, and saw that he didn't mean to be angry at all, so he said cautiously: "My lord has never been an official before, so it's not surprising that I don't know, but since I mentioned it today, Lao Yu, who is a doorman, has to ask, what do you think is the most important thing to be an official?" ”
Li Xi hesitated when he heard this, and asked, "Dedicated to the people?" ”
Li Yifeng nodded when he heard this, but shook his head again, "It's naturally good to be dedicated to serving the people." But if you can't even keep your position, how can you devote yourself to serving the people? ”
Li Xi groaned when he heard this, and after a long time, he asked, "What does Mr. think?" What should I do now? ”
Li Yifeng said: "Wait." ”
"Wait?"
"Yes, wait! Pei Jun wants to dry you, then you let him dry you, at this time, let's not fight for anything, and wait until the current disaster has passed, and then get up and fight with him. ”
Li Xi frowned slightly when he heard this, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to knock on the table in front of him, and after a long time, he asked again: "What Mr. said is a way to avoid trouble." It's just that when the disaster is really finalized, will Pei Jun watch me idle? Besides, if I hide at this time, I'm afraid that it will make people's teeth cold, how can the county magistrate believe me? ”
Li Yifeng shook his head when he heard this, "If Pei Jun pushes the problem on you at that time, you can just push it back, or simply push it to the county commander Lord Zheng, as for Lord Zheng, with all due respect, you have never been an official after all, in this officialdom, as long as there are common interests and enemies, then no matter how dirty the two sides were before, they will definitely be able to come together and cooperate sincerely, so before Pei Jun falls, you don't have to worry about what will happen to Lord Zheng, to put it bluntly, in fact, with your background, Even if there is no common enemy of Pei Jun, Lord Zheng may not dare to touch you. ”
Li Xi closed his eyes and pondered for a long time after hearing this, but in the end, he had to admit that this Li Yifeng looked at things really spicy, although his method was a bit of a turtle with a shrunken head, and even he felt that such an old bureaucrat's method was really a bit disdainful, but he had to admit his cleverness.
It's just that if you follow his method, will you still be Li Xi?
It is necessary to cooperate vertically and horizontally, and it is not unreasonable to avoid trouble at critical moments, but if he is so submerged, what kind of fun can this official have?
Besides, I can't afford to wait for a slow way like the one he suggested!
