Chapter 393: The Troubles of Being an Official
readx;
Seeing that Renzong and Fan Zhongyan's attitudes were loose, Chen Yuan was really relieved in his heart!
This idea was indeed too far ahead of its time, and it was only after a few hundred years that the Europeans applied it to the means of using commerce. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, although Fan Zhongyan is a gentleman, there is basically no conflict between Fan Zhongyan's attitude and Chen Yuan's attitude on the issue of dealing with the party, and he also believes that at this stage, the decisive battle on the battlefield should be avoided as much as possible.
And Renzong's mood has been very good these days, so he is easily convinced.
Chen Yuan continued: "The minister thinks that we must not agree to Li Yuanhao's request for peace now, we must delay it for a while longer, let Li Shibin pull the team up, and let Jiao Guluo have time to prepare." Also, some of the big clans of the party are not all in harmony with Li Yuanhao, as long as the battle situation is unfavorable and drags on for a long time, we can make some more articles within them. ”
Renzong was very satisfied: "Okay, good, Shimei seems to be too condescending to let you be a captain, so let's do it first, and when you and the princess get married, I will make arrangements." ”
If Chen Yuan is an official fan, he should be ecstatic when he hears this, but unfortunately Chen Yuan has no interest in being an official, he stepped into officialdom just to find himself a very decent identity in this era of the Song Dynasty.
If he had to say what kind of official he wanted to be, it would be the Ministry of Justice.
The City Yisi may not be able to do it now, the first Chen Yuan's qualifications are not enough, and the second Wang Yanling is doing very well now.
Chen Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "Long live, Weichen thinks that some things seem very inappropriate to come forward as an official. For example, if the emperor directly helped Li Shibin to pull up the team again, then the other foreign generals would have ideas in their hearts. If you send someone to contact the Jiaoluo, the other tribes in Tibet may feel uneasy. It's better to do this kind of thing in an unofficial capacity. ”
Fan Zhongyan frowned: "What Shimei said is not unreasonable! Just, who is suitable? ”
When Chen Yuan heard this, he knew that his opportunity had come! There are some things that you don't care about if you want them the more, for example, five sheepskins can be exchanged for Bailixi, and maybe you can't exchange them for five hundred sheepskins.
The problem lies in the emperor's vigilance.
Every Huang Yanjing is wary, even if he is about to be his son-in-law, he will not let down the guard in his heart. Chen Yuan understands this very well, smart people should not exceed the emperor's bottom line!
Chen Yuan didn't wait for Renzong to answer, clasped his fists and said: "Please long live the minister's official position, Weichen is willing to share the emperor's worries!" ”
This is called retreating as advancing.
This idea was his idea, and all the caravans so far were under Chen Yuan's command and control, and he was the most suitable person. He hoped that he could continue to complete the following work, and Chen Yuan resigned, in the final analysis, he wanted to dispel the emperor's wariness of him! He knew that at this time, Renzong would not let him leave like this. He has just made a great contribution, even if he Chen Yuan doesn't care about his official position, Renzong still cares about reputation!
Renzong was indeed quite satisfied with Chen Yuan's attitude, and said with a smile: "It's not necessary for you to be an official, as you said, the captain is too formal and inappropriate." I will arrange another identity for you, and you and Master Fan will solve the party problem for me! All issues will be dealt with by the two of you, as long as you agree on the same page, you don't have to go through my consent in everything! ”
Although the Song Dynasty was very harsh on the military generals and leaders, it was very trusting of the civilian officials. Fan Zhongyan and Chen Yuan said at the same time: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Renzong turned his head to look at Fan Zhongyan: "Lord Fan, what do you think is the right identity for Shimei?" ”
Fan Zhongyan thought for a while: "Long live, Weichen thinks that Wang Yanling and Wang Chengxiang are also the second position of the city and the second department of the department, which is really a little reluctant, and the things of the department are not too complicated, so they can let Shimei do it." ”
Chen Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, he had already thought of this result.
Now, Fan Zhongyan proposed, Renzong nodded, and Chen Yuan thanked him. In this way, the staff division fell into the hands of Chen Yuan, who was insignificant in the eyes of others, and the wise emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, formulated a strategy of governing the country with benevolence and filial piety, believing that as long as there was no problem within them, the enemy would not be afraid no matter how strong it was. How much can a dynasty that attaches no importance to military affairs pay attention to intelligence?
Until now, the staff department has been a second-level auxiliary surname organization, but it is different if it falls into the hands of Chen Yuan, at least, that intelligence agency can serve its own business with a little transformation!
Speaking of this, basically the three of them were satisfied, Renzong stretched his waist for a long time, and said with that confident smile on his face: "Shimei, tomorrow you give me a copy of the book, write your preliminary plan, as long as it is feasible, I will let you show your strength." Also, I won't let you pay for the money alone, it's enough for you to have that heart. Spend as much as you talk to me, I won't let you lose your old capital. ”
Chen Yuan smiled, he already had a relatively detailed plan in his heart, but now that it was getting late, and the three of them had drunk a lot, it was not the time to talk in detail now.
Don't support anything else, as long as Renzong can let himself sell the weapons that are sleeping in the treasury.
Selling nothing and selling arms to make money, Chen Yuan's plan is to suck money from the Liao State first and support Li Shibin, Jiao Guluo, these forces that oppose Li Yuanhao! Wait until Li Yuanhao is done, and then take the money out of the party item to settle the Liao State!
It may be longer, it may be five years, it may be ten years. But the Song Dynasty paid the smallest price, and he earned the most, and the person who needed Renzong to pay for it may not have a very big surname.
But the trader is like this, since someone wants to pay for sponsorship, there is no reason to shirk it, so he hugged his fists first: "Long live Xie!" ”
Coming out of the palace, Chen Yuan went directly back to Crescent Moon Villa. Although it was getting late, many drinkers in the villa were waiting for Chen Yuan's arrival, and when Chen Yuan stepped into the gate of the villa, the warm atmosphere was suddenly ignited.
These drinkers are waiting here just to say hello to Chen Yuan and prove to the relatives and friends who came to drink with them that they are familiar with the horse master. Therefore, this part of Chen Yuan's journey is not much easier than entering the city gate.
Even though he was already very tired, what he needed most now was a bed, but Chen Yuan still had to give enough face to these people who came to cheer for him. These people are their own food and clothing parents, and there are a few old customers from the time when they opened their own liquor store.
Now that he is developed, people come to ask for this face, so naturally he can't help but give it. He went down table by table, and when he reached the back hall, he was poured several bowls of wine!
Wine is like this, drink to a certain extent, maybe you won't be able to withstand one more glass, after leaving the back hall, Chen Yuan couldn't control it anymore, and spit out all the things he ate at night in one bite! Chen Shizhong saw it and hurriedly came over to help: "Big brother, are you okay?" ”
Chen Yuan vomited again, and Linghua was very distressed: "If you can't drink it, drink less!" Why do you want to be strong? Come into the house and rest, I'll bring you a bowl of decanting soup. ”
Chen Yuan waved his hand weakly: "Don't mention this word to me, okay?" Zero flower, you go down and get busy first, I still have something to do. ”
Linghua was stunned for a moment: "It's so late, you have become like this again, what can't you wait for tomorrow?" ”
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Isn't this an official!" No matter how tired you are from trading, you can still sleep when you want to sleep. But it's not good to be an official, and things don't settle down! Shi Zhong, "
He had a lot to say in his heart, but now his mind was in chaos, and he could only barely maintain his simplest thinking, and that thinking was no longer clear!
Fortunately, Chen Shizhong knew him very well, and whispered in Chen Yuan's ear: "Big brother, don't worry about the business, there's nothing for you to worry about." Those old shopkeepers have come to look for you, but it's not too late for them to see you tomorrow, so you might as well rest. ”
Chen Yuan shook his head, and suddenly Qin Xianglian's shadow appeared in his mind, and Chen Yuan, who was already in a drunken state, asked, "Is there any news of your sister-in-law in the countryside?" ”
Chen Shizhong helped him to walk into the house, and said as he walked: "I sent someone to inquire, some people said that they had seen them, but there was no specific whereabouts, I was inquiring." ”
Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, I have some time in my hands, I must find them out!" You don't know, if you let them come to Bianjing, I'll be in trouble. ”
Of course, Chen Shizhong knew what kind of trouble it would mean for Chen Yuan if Qin Xianglian suddenly appeared now, but he thought that this possible surname was simply too small! Relieved at the moment: "Big brother rest assured, everything has brothers, and big brother can eat when he is in his brothers, so your business is my business!" If I find my sister-in-law, I know how to do it. ”
Qianqiu, who was following behind Chen Shizhong, heard these words, and suddenly felt a strange panic in her heart, and she felt in a trance that she might have done something wrong if she didn't tell Chen Shizhong what happened this time.
glanced at Chen Yuan at the moment, and then pulled Chen Shizhong's shoulder: "Shizhong, if you find someone, what will you do?" ”
Chen Shizhong glared at her: "Can you stop making trouble?" Big brother drank high, did you drink high too? ”
Asaka said timidly, "I mean, if you find it, and she's still alive, what will you do?" ”
Chen Shizhong didn't answer her: "I've been looking for a few months and there is no news, it won't be so coincidental at this time!" ”
Asaka stopped talking. Several people helped Chen Yuan into the bedroom together, and then left the rest to Linghua to do.
Is it good to be an official? See it now.
Chen Yuan is right, if he is a businessman, he can sleep like a dead pig after drinking too much, and he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't ask until he wakes up.
But it's not good to be an official, the next morning, the sky was just a little bright, and Chen Yuan was called out by Linghua when he was still sleeping: "Xianggong, Lord Zeng Gongliang and Lord Ding Du from the Treasury Department are here, saying that they are looking for you to have something, do you want them to wait for a while?" ”
Linghua said it three times before Chen Yuan in the haze could hear it clearly!
Let them wait for themselves? It's okay for a short while, but not for a long time. The official positions of the two people are bigger than themselves, even if Chen Yuan goes to the Ministry of Justice, he is still a little smaller than others.
He slowly got up, sighed deeply, didn't say anything, washed his face with cold water and came out.
