"What do you think the widow should reward you?" The official looked at Chen Ke with a smile.

"Hasn't the official family already rewarded it?" Chen Ke pretended to be confused.

"That's the reward for pacifying Lingnan." The official shook his head and said, "Actually, the widow wanted to see you early in the morning, but your teacher stopped him." He said, with your own ability, it is not a problem to be a second-class jinshi, so you should wait for the spring to come... The widow thinks so. Said with a smile: "The reason why I changed my mind was because I heard Ji'er say that you have encountered some danger." ”

"Wechen Xie Guan's family loves it." Chen Ke said sincerely: "During this time, it is really hard to be tense all the time. ”

"Be careful." The official said slowly: "Do you know the identity of the other party?" ”

"It should be the one of Sanssouci Cave."

"Sanssouci Cave ......" The benevolent official family occasionally showed his dragon face and said angrily: "It's really getting more and more arrogant!" ”

"Uncle also knows about Sanssouci Cave?" Zhao Zongji, who had been quiet, asked.

"The widow has been in the capital for more than 40 years, and I have heard the name of Sanssouci Cave a few times."

"I heard that these people live in the ditch under the city of Bianliang, robbing and cheating, capturing people, and doing all kinds of evil, and the successive Kaifeng Governors have not been able to suppress people," Chen Ke said.

"The prosperous imperial capital, the capital of the first good, but tolerating the existence of such bandits, it is really incredible." Zhao Zongji said indignantly.

"I heard it to the sun, and it wasn't so bad." The official said slowly: "It seems that this government Yin is not effective. ”

"Wang Fu Yin is a virtuous gentleman, but it is not enough to govern the Jingshi, just thinking about not offending people." Zhao Zongji said unabashedly.

"Hmm." The official family is like an elder who has seen the world, and it seems that there is nothing that can really disturb the sacred heart: "It's the fault of the widow." Saying that, he looked at Chen Ke and said, "I can't ignore this matter, otherwise in the future, they will become more and more rampant." ”

"The official family is sage." Chen Ke served it on the back.

"If you really want to be holy, there will be no Sanssouci Cave." The official laughed self-deprecatingly: "The widow no longer wants to be as good as he wants, but he wants to go down." ”

"It's not easy." Chen Ke said with emotion.

"Oh......" The official family glanced at Chen Ke in surprise and said with a smile: "You are young, how can you say such old-fashioned words?" ”

"Wechen is inspired by feelings." Chen Ke said: "This point, a trivial matter, made Weichen scratch his head. Thinking about the official family, it is extremely difficult to face so many annoying things at home and abroad every day. ”

"Hmm." The official smiled and said: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say that I am worried." Unexpectedly, today, the widow also met a confidant. ”

"Wechen is terrified." Chen Ke scratched his head and said: "Weichen doesn't know the emperor's heart, he just thinks about it with the heart of ordinary people." ”

"Widow, why not an ordinary person..."The official smiled slightly: "Little confidant, you must have something to say in your heart about the matter of Liuta River, and now you can spit it out with the widow." ”

"Weichen, there is nothing to say." Chen Ke shook his head and said.

"Nothing to say?" The official smiled: "Do you want to tell the widow, or do you have scruples?" ”

"No, that's what I'm going to say." Chen Ke said in a deep voice.

"There's nothing to say..."The official's face froze, and he sighed: "It really makes people speechless......" After a long time, he said slowly: "This year is the year of extreme yin, Hedong, Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Hubei, West and other roads have been hit by floods, millions of people have been displaced, and everything is based on disaster relief. ”

"Weichen doesn't understand politics and doesn't dare to talk nonsense. I only don't understand something, and I ask the official family to give advice. Chen Ke got up and hugged his fists.

"Just ask."

"The minister has heard since he was a child that the so-called art industry has a specialization, and the interlacing is like a mountain." Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "Why can I be an official of the Great Song Dynasty who does not understand accounting as a third-division official, a water conservancy officer as a river and canal official, a privy councillor who does not understand the military, and a parent official who does not understand civil affairs?" I can't do river work for a few years, grind and relocate, and manage finance and taxation, and in a few years, I will be a construction official? ”

"Like this time the Liuta River disaster, it is not a natural disaster at all, but **! None of them had seen the depth of the river, nor did they know anything about river engineering, so they only sat in the political hall, looked at a set of plans, listened to several explanations, and dared to decide whether to return to the river or not, and what method to use. If they don't see or hear things, they don't know what they are doing, so they guess that they can do it, where do they get their confidence? This country is not the minister's but the official's, they Meng Lang's rise, can the official family also Meng Lang's afford it? ”

Chen Ke's series of cannons, all of which were unheard of by the official, made Zhao Zhen stunned. He received imperial education from an early age, and was told to leave state affairs to capable officials. But what is the so-called "capable officer", and is the capable official really omnipotent? For example, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, both of them are recognized as capable ministers in governing the world, and both have brilliant resumes, but this time, the performance of the two in river engineering can be described as extremely incompetent, isn't it because of laymen.

The official family felt that a very simple but crucial issue had been ignored by the predecessors, and this Chen Ke's sentence cleared the fog and woke him up. He pondered for a long time and said: "The widow looks at the history books, and is always drunk by the Qin Emperor Han Gao, Guangwu Zhenguan, and the good intentions of my Emperor Taizu. After a pause, he laughed at himself: "However, the widow is an ordinary person who respects the throne, although every person who is used must first consider it, but every time there is a mistake, what can I do?" ”

Weichen thought that the common people knew that they would find a potmaker if they broke the pot, found a mason when they collapsed the wall, and found a stable woman if they wanted to have a child...... Leave things to the connoisseurs, and the results will always be more satisfying. Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "The country's water conservancy, farmland, construction, taxation, finance, and military ...... It is 10 million times more difficult than the problems encountered by ordinary people, and it is more necessary to have experts in all aspects to deal with them. ”

"Isn't Li Zhongchang an expert?"

"Zhao Kuo is just talking on paper." Chen Ke sneered: "This kind of person can also be popular, which shows that the imperial court lacks real experts!" ”

"So you say, how do I go about discovering the 'experts' in all directions?" Zhao Zhen's attitude was already very serious.

"No one is born to know, and the experience and skills they have are all acquired through learning and practice. Therefore, Weichen thinks that when we start from these two aspects, one is to find talents from experienced veterans and craftsmen: and the other is to conduct professional training for officials. Chen Ke paused and said: "To put it bluntly, the examination is a cultural class, and the selection is a family." Naturally, there is no problem in doing academic work, but in the subset of economic history, we are not taught water conservancy, agricultural administration, accounting, finance and taxation...... These lessons must be made up in order to realize the transformation from home to qualified officials! ”

"Wechen was moved for a while, talking nonsense." Chen Ke finally bowed deeply and said: "But this is indeed the problem that Weichen thinks about day and night after the Six Towers River

After leaving the palace, Zhao Zongji looked at Chen Ke as if he didn't know him, and said, "You are so unexpected, I thought you would scold those people, but you didn't." I thought you didn't care about these things, but I didn't expect you to think about it from a high vantage point and tell such a big truth. ”

"I know something." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "I just feel that things are like this, I don't know why you guys, but I don't think so." ”

"......" Zhao Zongji thought for a moment and said: "This should be the consequence of deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism." ”

"I guess so." Chen Ke held the umbrella and said, "So, I can't change it." ”

"On the contrary, it's time to change it now." Zhao Zongji thought for a while and said: "No one believes in Han Confucianism, and now those scholars are looking for the true meaning of Confucianism." If you have the dictionary in hand, even if you have the right to speak, you can put forward your own ideas and debate with them, and if you trust more people, your words will become the truth. ”

"Well, that's interesting." Chen Ke pinched his chin and smiled: "is more fun than being an official." ”

"What do you mean by...... Zhao Zongji almost fell into a puddle, he lowered his voice and said: "But no matter what, you have suppressed the official family today." Officials love talents and cherish talents, I think you, an official, are not appropriate and have to be appropriate. ”

"It's just nonsense, and you can't do it." Chen Ke shook his head and didn't take his words seriously.

The two of them went out of the Xuande Gate, and after getting into the carriage, Chen Ke asked in a low voice: "By the way, do you know how long my father's marriage with that person will have to be delayed?" ”

"What is this...... Zhao Zongji smiled and said, "You really asked the right person." As he spoke, he wrote in Chen Ke's hand:

"'This spring, the official family said to Zai: 'I live in the palace, and the left and right are the queen's party. Last month, he said to my father, 'What will happen after the abolition?' , my father said to him: 'Pavilion Lane villain, I can't bear to do it, I can go down to the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, how can I care about it?' The official family did not mention the matter again. ”

Chen Ke knew that the so-called 'how could it be no more' referred to the official family, which had already deposed a queen back then. Moreover, not long after Empress Guo was deposed, the emperor regretted it, and wanted to take her back, but she had already been killed...... With the softness of the official family, how could Empress Cao repeat the mistakes of the Guo family?

Chen Ke couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zongji, this guy will tell such a secret thing, does he also have the meaning of wanting to spread this word to the ears of the queen's sister through himself?

However, Zhao Zongji has always been interesting enough to him, even if he has such thoughts, it is the political wisdom that Wang Gongzi has cultivated since he was a child, and he cannot be blamed.

"So soon we will be able to drink their wine." Chen Ke smiled happily.

"Why does my son feel weird when he drinks Lao Tzu's happy wine?" Zhao Zongji shook his head and smiled.

"Well, where are you taking me here?"

"You'll know when you arrive."

Keep writing, I guess it's going to be sent tomorrow morning...... (To be continued)
