Chapter 4: Both Civil and Military (2)
Li Xi knew that his new official had taken office, and it was a new yamen that had just been established, and these people were originally in various yamen, and they were suddenly transferred, which inevitably made him a little unhappy, so at this time, he naturally shouldn't put on any official authority.
Here and now, this situation, this scene, show its authority, but it is far less than soft.
So, when he took office as a new official, he didn't say anything else, but first talked about being an official. And as he expected, just a few simple words aroused everyone's interest.
You know, any work, is more grass-roots, less top-level, pyramid-like management structure, this is like the title of the university in later generations, as long as a person has enough knowledge, and is willing to teach seriously, then mixed lecturer, and then mixed associate professor, and even master's supervisor doctoral supervisor, it is not too difficult to do it, but if you want to become a professor, but it is as difficult as the sky, many people may even do the doctoral supervisor, but they are stunned to be stuck in the position of associate professor for a lifetime.
And the officials of Datang actually talk about the same reason as this professor and associate professor, many people have been stuck in the position of the principal all their lives, and it is rare to make an inch of progress for decades. So when this topic is thrown out, everyone naturally pays attention.
At this time, seeing that it attracted everyone's attention, Li Xi continued: "I have been doing the main thing for several years, let's climb up, it's difficult." Because Lord Lang also wants to be Langzhong, but he can't go up, he can't go up, this son will occupy it, and the people below will naturally have to continue to wait, and even if there is a seat, how many people are looking forward to it? The local government has to select a group of capable officials every year, and the court has to be sealed every year, and there are many jinshi who come to fight for food......"
As usual, Li Xi said that what he was talking about was the difficulty of promotion, but these words hit the itch of Chang Feng all of a sudden, and he nodded frequently when he heard it, obviously having such sorrow in his heart.
As he spoke, Li Xi changed the topic and said, "Do you want to keep going?" Wait? In my opinion, there is not much hope, you must know, how many people have survived for a lifetime! Why? Six departments of the imperial court, nine temples, what kind of place is that? That's where the whole Datang smart people gather, besides, this kind of big yamen, everything has a law, and if you are an official, you only need to do it according to the rules, where is the opportunity for you to show your talent? ”
Speaking of this, Li Xi looked at the faces of several people with his eyes, but saw that Chang Feng and Wei Yue were first stunned after hearing this, and then they looked frowning and contemplative, but Yang Shenyu nodded straightly, but there was still no expression on his face.
However, for Li Xi, it was enough to impress Chang Feng and Wei Yue.
Chang Feng thought about it for a long time, and then said with a smile: "The adult woke up the person in the dream with a word, and the lower officials in the past have also thought about similar problems, but they don't see it so clearly like an adult." Speaking of which, Xia Guan is really taught. ”
Li Xi smiled and waved his hand, stood up and arched his hand, "Our Jianghuai Transfer Envoy is a new yamen, everything is still uncertain, whether we can make something that surprises the world and impresses Your Majesty, it depends on you!" ”
As soon as he said this, several people's eyes lit up.
Li Xi didn't clearly say how beneficial his yamen was, but unconsciously, he pointed out the difference between the new yamen of the Jianghuai Transit Envoy and the yamen of the Six Ministries and Nine Temples.
Yes, although the Jianghuai Transfer Envoy is a new yamen, it seems that it is better to stay in the household and Taifu Temple comfortably, but this new yamen, there are no rules and regulations, so it is easier to make achievements!
With the results, the heavens are listening, and in the eyes of His Majesty, isn't this the future?
Therefore, after listening to Li Xi's words, Chang Feng and Wei Yue thought about it for a while, and they invariably bowed their hands with joyful faces, "The lower official has been taught!" ”
And at this time, although Yang Shenyu didn't speak, he also gave a salute.
Before coming here, my father said that this Li Xi is not an ordinary person, and he must not be underestimated because of his young age, Yang Shenyu is still a little skeptical, and his respect for him is mostly because of the fame he brought to him through his previous poems. And now, after seeing Li Xi's work with his own eyes as little as a cup of tea, he immediately understood that his old father had seen it all his life, and this time he was still surprisingly accurate.
If other chief officials are replaced, at the beginning of their tenure, they will not put on a show and do not engage in any official deterrence, but there are few such pleasant faces, and officialdom routines, clichés and official words must be spoken, not to mention that when a new official takes office, that kind of useless cliché is the unanimous choice of everyone.
But when Li Xi took office, he didn't put on the slightest show, and he looked like he was gossiping with everyone, but as soon as he said a few words, he easily grasped everyone's psychology, and suddenly pulled the subordinates who were still very strange just now to his side. Regarding this, just look at Li Xi's face before Li Xi came, Chang Feng still had a complaining face, but now, after listening to Li Xi's words, he suddenly became energetic, and you can see how much magic Li Xi's words have.
Some people are indeed born with the ability to quickly and accurately grasp the psychology of other people, and they don't need to do anything, just a few words and a few things can bring people together.
This thing is talent.
At this time, he couldn't help but think to himself, no wonder he was almost sixty years old, but the old man had to let himself be outstanding, and he chose such a newly established yamen for himself, with such a young chief official who was only eighteen years old and about the same age as his grandson, but it turned out that the old father had already been optimistic about the future of this Li Xi.
After the new official took office, he finished his opening remarks, which was considered to be the official post, so Li Yifeng and a few others took Li Xi to the official room of his deputy envoy on the side of the official hall.
Entering the room, the first thing I saw was the furnishings on both sides of the room, on one side was a long row of bookshelves, which were used for some documents in the future, which were currently empty, and on the other side of the wall, there was a huge map of the administrative divisions of the Tang Dynasty.
Although it was very sketchy, this was already the largest map Li Xi had seen since he came to Datang.
At the beginning of his tenure, Li Xi specially told Li Yifeng that the first thing he did after taking office was to find a way to get a map, and to do the work of long-distance transportation.
Li Xi was very satisfied with this official room, went in and looked around, he nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at everyone, and said: "Everyone, our yamen is still very fragmented, people, things, are not complete, if you want to make this yamen work as soon as possible, do things a day earlier, in this period, you have to work hard." ”
At this moment, the four people standing in the room bowed down and clenched their fists in unison, "Xiaguan is willing to serve dogs and horses!" ”
