Chapter 146: The Things Behind the Excitement

It is said that Li You ignored the retention of the people in Fucheng and ran away on his own, isn't he worried that he will really lose his office. In the military generals or war periods, this is called desertion, but for the civil officials and doctors of the dynasty, self-resignation is a kind of taste and culture - the culture of resignation. And several professional terms have been coined, such as hanging the crown and leaving, sealing out of the city, Dumen thanking guests, and so on.

Just like Zhao Liangyi mentioned above, he chose to resign after being scolded by the official, and before the emperor could get it, he ran home, which can be regarded as going to work on his own. This is called the king of Taoism, and if you can't stop it, you will retreat. On the one hand, it is to promote the high style and brightness of fame and fortune, and on the other hand, it is self-redemption when you are in a crisis and predicament.

Such a person is generally sympathetic in the public opinion of the country, and the emperor will definitely keep you again and again, and the official position will also be reserved for you (those who dare to jump out and prepare to take over are all stunned by officialdom). Of course, Li You can't reach that level, but the meaning is similar.

In fact, Li You, who has only been in the officialdom for half a year in this era, may not understand the above truths, and what he relies on is only the insight and intelligence of later generations. After careful analysis, his purpose this time was only to shirk the responsibility of quelling the unfavorable disorder, and his thinking was to "shape advanced models and turn bad things into good things" that he had learned in his previous life.

So he worked hard to brush up on his huge prestige, which can be called the support of all the people, and finally seemed helpless before he blamed himself in public and pretended to run away, and he was ashamed to give way to the court. And Li You is very lucky, the protagonist's aura has appeared, and his actions have inadvertently implied the mainstream moral standards of this dynasty, and he is in a sympathetic and very positive position in public opinion. And in this era, even with an official attitude, things such as morality, norms, and etiquette that parasitize public opinion are even more important than laws.

didn't mention it, but said that Master Li had nothing to do, and he drifted back to Xujiang County in a flat boat. When I visited my parents, I heard my mother Zhu feel distressed: "Xiao Er is a little thin. ”

Li You replied with a smile: "My son is an official in Fucheng, and he has been working hard recently, and he can't rest for a moment. ”

Father Li next to him didn't believe it: "If you officials don't say that they are busy, don't be official at home." ”

Li You was suddenly choked by his father, and he didn't believe the truth.

"What's the matter with your sudden home?" Father Li asked again.

Li You said: "My son gave up his job and returned..."

Father Li was furious and interrupted Li Youdao: "Evil beasts dare to do this! ”

Li You was about to explain, but saw a disciple hurrying over with a famous post, and said, "There is a team of honor guards outside." ”

Li You took the name card and looked at it, and it was written with Chen Yingzhen's name, and he was shocked for a while. This is Lord Chen's first visit, and he still takes the initiative, how can he not be surprised, let alone Lord Chen's dignified identity as a sub-patrol officer.

Don't forget, Li You took the initiative to go to work on his own, if he didn't want to make the fake come true, the patrol officer who held the power of supervision and promotion must not be neglected.

Li You immediately cleaned up his clothes, instructed his subordinates to open the door and greet him out of the gate. Sure enough, when I saw Lord Chen's honor guard, Master Huang was standing in front of the team and looking this way.

Li You hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to go to the sedan chair to meet Lord Chen. Unexpectedly, Master Huang's pace was more agile, and he stretched out his hand to stop Li You and said, "Why did Master Li come out?" ”

I dare not come out with a shelf? What kind of mindless words did Mr. Huang say? Li You was confused and suspicious.

"Do you know the rules?" Mr. Huang said in a somewhat reproachful tone.

Li You is even more inexplicable, is there something rude? But a quick retrospect should be no.

I heard Mr. Huang sigh and say, "You should not go out and refuse to see guests!" What are you doing out there? ”

"Could it be that it is wrong to come out to greet Chen Lian with a big gift?" Li You couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Don't you think carefully about why Lord Chen deigned to the Supreme Mansion? Doesn't that make you worry a little more? Master Huang shook his head and said: "Master Chen is in charge of the sub-patrol road, and he is in charge of the customs and education of the Tao and the promotion of righteousness, so he came to appease the local virtuous. And you, as a master and wise man who took the initiative to retire, how can you rush to greet the Shangguan when he sees him coming! ”

Li You finally understood... At this time, it was not Lord Chen who came to visit Master Li, but the representative of Chen Xundao came to visit and comfort the advanced and typical Li Xian who had retired at home. Mr. Huang thought that he did not have the style of a virtuous person, and he was too humble, which was bad for Lord Chen.

It's a mistake to be too respectful... According to Master Huang's assumption, Li You should be closed to the door, and Chen Xundao had to ask Corporal Lixian to wait for a half or come back twice to achieve a good story. As a result, I didn't expect Li You to understand this rule, there was no tacit understanding, and he couldn't cooperate.

"You can still mess around when you are in this position, but now that you are in this position, you should also find a staff member to assist the counselor!" Master Huang hates that iron does not make steel.

"I know it's wrong." Li You said sincerely, "This will close the door and refuse customers." ”

"It's late, don't draw a snake to add a smile and be generous."

Chen Xundao finally entered Li's house, and after the guests and hosts sat down for tea, they put out a very official score and said to Li You: "Sage Yun: If there is a way, then there is a way, and if there is no way, you will be swept up." ”

What is it? Li You, who is not proficient in scripture and righteousness, doesn't know how to answer, why can't everyone understand what everyone says today, and he has to look at Mr. Huang... Mr. Huang half-hinted: "I think of a sentence, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone." ”

Li You, who touted this, was a little embarrassed, and said abruptly: "The Lian envoy and Mr. Huang both praised it." ”

Chen Xundao suddenly remembered the matter of building an altar and praying for rain last year, this Li You's ability to act on the spot is really a must, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, "What you did, this official is also very admired." ”

can be regarded as understandable, this must be a public commendation and praise of his virtue by his boss, and he can't wait for all his hard work. Li You replied very humbly: "Being in his position, being immersive, I have to do it." However, the officials are sparse and weak, and they will not be able to calm the catastrophe, and they will be ashamed of their kindness to the court. ”

Chen Xundao also said: "I am the system, using the middle to suppress the outside, the above to suppress the bottom, and the small to suppress the large. It is very difficult to be a magistrate at the state and county levels, and this official also has a lot of experience. You don't have to blame yourself. ”

Li You was moved: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

After comforting, Chen Xundao got up and left, but Master Huang stayed alone to talk to Li You, "Now that the sub-patrol has not yet taken office, Chen Lian is under a lot of pressure as a sub-patrol. Your credit is clear to everyone who understands, and no one else will do better than you. ”

Mr. Huang also fully affirmed Li You, but it was different from what Chen Xundao affirmed... Li You also really understood.

Laymen look at the excitement, insiders look at the doorway, how many people understand the things behind the excitement?

The price of rice has skyrocketed to the highest level in recent years, and in the final analysis, it is caused by the lack of rice in the government's immorality and lack of rice in the warehouse, and the fact that it does not dare to prepare in advance. If it weren't for Lord Li's efforts to direct the spearhead at the major grain merchants, would the government still be as stable as it is now?

Li You was full of food and supported the fanfare to gather the grain merchants, knowing that he had to force the price to be reduced, and in the end he was ridiculed by the major grain merchants for what? In front of the emotionally unstable lower-class civilians, what is it to use his prestige to scold the grain merchants for destroying thieves and silverfish? Watching the hungry people besiege the grain chamber of commerce, what do you care? Doesn't he, a 21st century traveler, really not understand what the laws of the market economy are? Don't you really understand that even if you tear down the whole family of the grain merchant, you can't solve the problem?

In the past, when the price of rice skyrocketed, there were almost always incidents of hungry people storming the warehouses of the government office, which was called a disturbance, and then caused chaos in the whole city, but this time there was none. Therefore, Li Tuiguan, who was able to successfully transfer the contradictions, made great contributions, and this is the view that officials who really understand the line cannot declare. Because he can't say it publicly, he can only praise Li Tuiguan for being temperate in the end!

Benevolence, righteousness and morality are always parasites, and mainstream public opinion does not exist in isolation and objectivity, in the end, it is actually all interests, the interests of the ruling class! Otherwise, Li You is an advanced model of a fart, and he really thinks that he can pretend to be forced?
