Chapter 364: Feng Shui Rotation (I)
Every time he saw Wang Yan like this, Zhang Dian felt strange, why was a leprosy ghost who didn't know how long he could live, so keen to fight for power and profit for his father? He really couldn't understand Wang Yan's fanatical worship of Wang Anshi......
After his breathing calmed down, Wang Yan wiped his mouth and said, "I won't do that kind of thing that hurts relatives and makes enemies happy, I mean, we have to make a great contribution and overwhelm Wen Yanbo."
"Is it possible to overwhelm Wen Yanbo?" Zhang Dan breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not believe.
"To this day, you still don't believe that nothing is impossible, is it?" Wang Yan laughed and said: "Your Highness is coming back soon, and my personal relationship with him is second only to Chen Zhongfang, which is incomparable to Wen Yanbo." ”
"That's right, the building near the water gets the moon first." Zhang Dian nodded and said, "What's more, as a minister of literature, how can he have a personal relationship with His Royal Highness?" After a pause, he said, "However, this alone is not enough. ”
"Yes, but what if we make another big contribution?" Wang Yan said with some disdain: "For a long time, Chen Zhongfang has always seen tricks and been beaten passively. Not only is it breath-holding, but it doesn't hurt the enemy in the slightest. ”
"Yes, Zhong Fang is brave and resourceful, and he is really a rare talent, but he is too gentleman," Zhang Dian agreed: "There is a way to achieve great things and those who are not informal, he just cares too much about small things." Said with a smile: "I heard that it is the result of his wife's frequent persuasion." ”
"Hmph, the kindness of a woman can't make a big deal." Wang Yan snorted coldly and said: "The situation was unclear before, and I didn't dare to invest too deeply, let him see this time, what is the real thunder method!" ”
"What are you going to do?" Although Zhang Dian also boasted of being a talent, although Wang Yan was not yet twenty years old, he was always unconsciously infected by this young man and led by him...... Although I am always very ashamed afterwards.
"Have you thought of a question?" Wang Yan looked at him fixedly and said, "Why do the hundreds of officials in the court support Zhao Zongshi almost one-sidedly?" Even an old ghost like Han Qi went into battle shirtless for him? Is it really the so-called charisma? ”
"But a hypocrite who sells his reputation has a fart personality charm." Zhang Duan said disdainfully: "It's not his dead ghost father yet." Connections he's made over the decades? ”
"Hahaha......" Wang Yan laughed arrogantly, covered his mouth and coughed again: "I can't imagine such a clumsy lie, even Zhang Zihou can be deceived!" ”
"You pay attention to your body." Zhang Dian was a little displeased and said, "What, am I not right?" ”
"What is networking? In officialdom, it is nothing more than five same. Wang Yan slowly bent his finger and said: "Fellow villagers, classmates, fellow students, colleagues, and relatives." Do you think he Zhao Yunrang can use to get in touch with hundreds of officials? ”
"This ......" Zhang Dian couldn't help frowning, "Maybe he has another way?" ”
"Clever!" Wang Yan clapped his palms and smiled: "He used the method of yin and selfishness!" ”
"The law of selfishness?"
"That's right, relying on shady things to pull relationships." Wang Yan said softly: "You have to admire Zhao Yunrang's perseverance. Since forty years ago, he has been quietly doing one thing. That is to run for young and idle officials......"
"Oh......" Zhang Dun is such a talent, and his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "This is indeed a way." "Compared to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was difficult to climb up as an official in the Great Song Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was used immediately under the Jinshi list, and it started from the seven products. After the Song Dynasty's Jinshi Shi Shi released the brown, except for the top five, there was no grade, and they had to practice at the grassroots level for three years, and after three years, the highly talented people could sign up for the pavilion test and embark on a noble road, but the vast majority of officials should start from the eighth or even ninth grade. After three years, there is no mistake to be promoted.
Other words. A genuine Jinshi, smooth sailing, it takes 12 years to rise to the seventh grade. But in the past 12 years, no one dares to guarantee that no mistake will be made, once they are targeted by the imperial history, they will be demoted and disposed of, and they will be dismissed and go home. So it's not as people think, the dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the Tianzi Hall. Since then, he has been rich and rich.
In fact, the low-level officials' salaries are very meager, and they can only barely get by. And Zhao Yunrang's favorite thing to do back then was to help young officials and actively help them get through relationships so that they could take office as soon as possible...... Don't forget the redundant officials of the Great Song Dynasty, it's okay if you are admitted to the Jinshi, if you are from subjects such as the Nine Classics, the Three History, the Scholars, the Ming Classics, and the Ming Law, then wait in line.
If you don't have anything to do with it, you may not be able to wait ten years for you to be an official.
As a result, Zhao Yunrang helped a large number of loose officials to take up posts that year. He also helped many young officials to smooth out their punishments and prevent them from being demoted or even dismissed. Later, as his ability became stronger and stronger, he also helped many people find fat shortages or positions that were easy to promote.
Because the people who interacted with him were insignificant young people, and under the guise of the Poetry Society and the Literary Society, Zhao Yunrang's actions were not only said to be ill-intentioned and buy people's hearts, but were regarded as an ancient way of warm-heartedness and support for the backwards. Because people will subconsciously think that investing in these low-level officials may not see a return for decades, so there is no doubt about him.
But Zhao Yunrang was preparing for a few decades later, he himself had no hope, and Zhao Zhen was only ten years old at the time, and it would not be a problem to be an emperor for a few more decades...... Of course, it may also be that at the beginning, he really wanted to send depression, so he would mingle among the scholars and literati, one was to relieve the boredom, and the other was to make some good karma for his children and grandchildren, so he would help those young officials.
But when he found out that Zhao Zhen was also like Zhao Heng, his motives were not pure. Especially after Zhao Zongshi was accepted into the palace, Zhao Yunrang took this as his life's work. He doesn't know how much money and energy he has invested to establish a smooth gray channel for buying and running for officials, and settling all kinds of troubles. Countless young officials have passed through this channel through the first difficult moments.
The so-called hard work pays off, the young officials who benefited from him at the beginning, as long as they can survive to this day, are all the imperial court and local Taixian officials, and the saplings he planted that day have finally grown into a large forest!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What kind of story are you going to tell me?" Zhang Dian said impatiently: "Ten horses, are you reluctant to give up?" ”
"If Zhao Yunrang only did this, we would be helpless." Wang Yan coughed lightly and said: "But his motives for helping these people are not pure, and he is worried that they will turn their faces and not recognize people after Tengda in the future......" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "So from the beginning, he recorded the process of helping these officials in the first place, such as who he found, how much money he spent, and what kind of gifts he gave to help you ask for this official; For example, what kind of methods can be used to open up the joints and help you write off the troubles...... What means of bribery, cover-up, concealment, forgery, etc., are all recorded in detail and detail! ”
"He made a book for everyone, one for each person, just like the officials set up a file for officials, and the records were detailed. Oh yes, and it's also called the 'Transit Book', which means that the officials above rely on it to run the day, but it can also make them fail! ”
"Ahh With the courage of Zhang Duntian who is not afraid of the earth, he can't help but be creepy...... Zhao Yunrang's scheming and perseverance are rare in history, right? !
Needless to say. Zhao Yun let the means of helping at the beginning be disgraced, these problems are not big, but those officials who benefited from him at the beginning and are now standing in the court now have their own ways and opponents, who is willing to give people a handle and ruin the career of decades of hard work?
Therefore, as soon as the transfer book comes out, it is really invincible, and everyone has to be obedient!
What's even better is that because they are afraid that the matter will be leaked, all the parties concerned are tight-lipped, and so far few people know about it except for the parties.
"How do you know this detail?" Naturally, he wanted to ask this question.
"If this transfer book is still in Zhao Yunrang's hands, I naturally have no way of knowing," Wang Yan couldn't help but say proudly: "It's a pity that Lao Tzu's hero is a bear, Zhao Yunrang handed over this thing to Zhao Zongshi before he died, and I have a way to know." ”
Seeing that he didn't want to reveal the joint, Zhang Dian was unhappy, but he could only say: "It's really a thriller, what are you going to do?" ”
"Get that transfer book!" Wang Yan said word by word: "Do you think this is a great achievement?" ”
"Of course!" Zhang Dan's eyes lit up and said: "If the official family is allowed to see this thing, Zhao Zongshi will be doomed!" He asked, "Where is that thing?" ”
"I don't know ...... either" Wang Yan spread his hands, and seeing that Zhang Yan had anger on his face, the corners of his mouth flashed with a wry smile: "This is the truth." With such a terrible thing, Zhao Zongshi naturally had to keep it strictly. It's not easy for me to know that there is such a thing, and I don't know anything about it. ”
"It's definitely in his house." Zhang Dian said in a deep voice.
Isn't this nonsense, Wang Yan rolled his eyes and said: "The Qingling County Royal Mansion covers an area of 100 acres and has more than 1,000 rooms, guess which house?" ”
"Eighty percent is a study or something...... Zhang Dian himself was not sure, and his tone became more and more ambiguous: "But if it were me, it would be buried in a place that no one expected." ”
"yes, so it's useless to look around." Wang Yan frowned and said, "We must find a way to let him show us the way." ”
"You mean, scare the snake?" Zhang Dan has a strong understanding.
"Not bad." Wang Yan said lightly: "This matter will be handed over to you, be sure to find out the location of the 'transfer book' as soon as possible." ”
"You're really going to have a problem...... "Zhang Dian smiled bitterly.
"It's not a problem, what am I looking for you to do?" Wang Yan said coldly.
Zhang Dian was very helpful and said: "Okay, I'll take this job!" ”
