That night, Li Ang personally made a few special dishes and invited Cui Yin to a banquet in the rented courtyard.

The warm sunset shone obliquely on the apricot blossoms in the courtyard, and the apricot blossoms were delicate and gorgeous, not as good as Huang Siniang's moving new makeup, and Tinker Bell, who was lying in the door, couldn't help but whine at her twice.

Inviting people to have a banquet in Datang, unlike in later generations, everyone sat at a table, but at this time it was still customary to sit at separate tables, each with a few.

Under the apricot blossom tree in the small courtyard, a bamboo cake was spread, and then two small tables were placed on the bamboo tree, as well as a few soft futons.

Cui Yin changed into a round-necked civilian clothes, his demeanor was somewhat self-controlled, and he was opposite to Li Ang, and under Li Ang's warm greeting, he knelt down and sat down after the small ones.

"It is a great honor for Li to be able to come to my house with a face! Siniang, quickly pour wine for the Ming Mansion. ”

As the manager of the public relations department of Datang Wushuang Salt Company, Huang Siniang has been carefully dressed, and she is even more amorous and radiant, Cui Yin is also a little uncontrollable in front of her, and she has a few polite words one after another.

"Cui Mingfu, please!"

"Brother Li Xian is polite, please!"

The two drank a glass of each other, and Li Ang put down the wine glass and said, "Cui Mingfu, these small dishes are prepared by Siniang for you personally, can you taste it or not." ”

"Okay, good, since Huang Siniang prepared it herself, the official naturally has to taste it."

Several dishes on the table, including braised pork, are actually made by Li Ang, but the so-called gentleman is far away from cooking, and it is not something to boast about when a man is proficient in cooking these years, on the contrary, he will be looked down upon, and it is because Li Ang is pretending to be in the name of Huang Siniang.

Cui Yin tasted a piece of braised pork and was immediately amazed: "Siniang is not only beautiful, but this cooking skill is the only one in the official's life, good!" Great goodness! ”

Huang Siniang glanced at Li Ang quietly, and replied with a lot of charm: "Cui Mingfu has won the award, and the slave family can't afford it." If you think you can still eat, eat more, this is the best compliment to the concubine. Huang Siniang said, and frequently poured wine for Cui Yin to drink.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors. Only then did Li Ang begin to cut to the chase: "In the officialdom, the situation is treacherous, and if you are not careful, you will not only lose your official position, but also affect the whole family." Cui Mingfu is in officialdom, it's really not easy! Come, I'll toast Cui Mingfu again. ”

When such words came out of Li Ang's mouth, Cui Yin's drunkenness woke up a little, and said, "Brother Li Xian seems to have something to say, why don't you say it." ”

"Actually, it's nothing, in the final analysis, if you enter the official career, you will either glorify your ancestors and prosper your career; Either they are nameless and marginalized; Or, as I said earlier, lose your official position and leave your post until the disaster is full. And all this, in the final analysis, the key is to have decent political achievements, and someone appreciates you and promotes you. Only when these are all in place, there is a foundation for official prosperity, I wonder if Cui Mingfu thinks so? ”

This is natural, how could Cui Yin not know, but he didn't dare to hold it up, and said cautiously: "Please also ask Brother Li Xian to teach." ”

"Gongsun Shilang's side, I asked Gongsun Jingyu to help Cui Mingfu talk about it, it's not difficult. But after the relationship is established, if you want to be recognized by others, you must have good political achievements. This political achievement is your business card for the official side, it is something that you avoid being poked in the back, and in the same way, it is also a proof that the people who promote you know and make good use of people, so why is this not the political achievements of these people? After all, who would use a puddle of mud that can't hold up to a wall?

The same is true for a country, based on Shinong industry and commerce, and a state and county, as long as these four things are smoothed out, this political achievement will come out. However, there is also a difference between the severity of these four things. In Xia Bucai, I would like to ask Cui Mingfu, in your opinion, what is the importance of Shinong Industry and Commerce? ”

"The country is unstable without agriculture, and the people regard food as the sky, so it is natural to focus on agriculture."

Li Ang listened, he smiled, a tree of apricot blossoms on his head swayed in the evening breeze of the sunset, and from time to time petals fell on his body, that leisurely attitude, really made people secretly admire.

"Could it be that Brother Li Xian has other opinions?"

Gao Jian didn't dare to be, but what Cui Mingfu said, I really didn't dare to agree. It is true that the country is based on agriculture. However, Cui Mingfu should be clear that you only manage one county, and your term of office is only three years.

Agricultural input is large, the cycle is long, the income is small, and whether it can be bumper depends on God's face. Even if God opens his eyes and the fields are harvested, so what? The amount of taxes stipulated by the imperial court is dead, can Cui Mingfu still charge more?

In other words, the best result of focusing on agriculture is to successfully complete the agricultural tax set by the imperial court, and it is impossible to increase the tax for the imperial court.

Please forgive me for saying bluntly, Cui Mingfu has not been confused, and now it is only a county order of the lower county, even if the political performance is evaluated every year, it will be the end of the history of being able to move in this life. If Cui Mingfu wants to go further and even leave a name in history, unless he can make a splash and come up with a political achievement that others can't match. ”

Li Ang's words made Cui Yin feel empowered, and there was a kind of simple and profound meaning, which made his thinking a lot clearer, and at the same time, it was also full of aftertaste. To be honest, he was like most officials in the world before, and this official did a bit of a mess. I want to make a political achievement, but I don't know where to start.

Officials from all over the country went down to the fields every year to persuade them to teach farming, and in addition to that, they worked hard to run schools.

As for the farmers and businessmen, they will naturally subconsciously put the farmers and farmers first. If it weren't for Li Ang's order, he might not be able to figure this out in his life.

"I hope Mr. Li will give me some advice."

Cui Yin stood up and said sincerely, he even changed his title, which showed his admiration in his heart.

Li Ang said with a smile: "In just three years, it will take a year and a half to get acquainted with the local people, and there is only a handful of time left to display your talents." Starting from the agricultural aspect, we have already analyzed it below, and it is not feasible. Let's analyze it from the aspect of 'taxi';

It is really a good policy to promote education, but it is even more impossible to cultivate talents in just three years if you want to produce talents in just three years. At most, it is necessary to set up a platform to make the government school more lively, but even so, it requires a lot of money to invest.

The matter of managing Zhongzhi Qi, presumably Cui Mingfu is very clear. The so-called country has more wealth and those who are far away, and the people stay in the place, and the warehouse is solid and knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace. On Cui Mingfu, there is no need to consider the two items of cangqiao and sufficient food and clothing, the land that can be reclaimed in Huojing County has long been reclaimed, and there is no way to talk about Dixing.

So if you want to make a difference, you can only start from the point of having more money. As the saying goes, no business can make you rich, and only industry and commerce can bring a lot of wealth in a short period of time, so that taxes can be multiplied. With money, Cui Mingfu can overhaul water conservancy and promote official education, and then bring Cui Mingfu political achievements that others can't match. ”

There are some things that are worthless to say, but before they are broken, civil officials like Cui Yin really don't know that there is such a truth in this. At this moment, Cui Yin can be said to have opened his mouth.

But here comes the problem again, Xing Gong can quickly make political achievements, but these civil officials have always been ashamed of their words and business. When it comes to Xing Gong Gong, it is a black eye!

Leon drew him a big pie, which made him salivate when he was hungry, but he couldn't eat it.

Cui Yin threw away all his reserve, and said again: "Mr. Li must have a good plan, and I hope to give advice." ”

A gust of evening wind blew, the apricot blossoms were swaying, the sunset had not yet set, and the two stars were already twinkling in Huang Siniang's eyes.

If it was Li Ang's proud words to use Gongsun Jingyu's momentum to make Cui Yin have to give in, then now, with his own talent, Cui Yin is convinced in his heart, which is even more remarkable. Huang Siniang really wanted Cui Yin to disappear suddenly, and then .......

Li Ang picked up the wine and drank a glass of himself before saying, "Cui Mingfu doesn't have to be polite. If we want to promote industry and commerce, we must first have the resources to attract industry and commerce. There are many kinds of resources, not only salt and iron tea, but also some resources can be created, such as good transportation, celebrity effect, cheap manpower, good business environment, superior policies, etc., the more resources that can be created, the stronger the attraction to businessmen, and sometimes a reasonable policy can make businessmen flock in large numbers. ”

The more Li Ang said, the more Cui Yin, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, felt that it was profound, for example, cheap labor can attract businessmen, he understood, but how could there be cheap labor? He also understands that preferential policies can attract businessmen, but how to formulate specific policies is a problem.

"Can Mr. Lee be more specific?"

"Hehe......."

Li Ang smiled and said nothing, and after saluting Cui Yin with a glass of wine, he changed the topic and said: "I am very interested in the matter of eating the dead with salt in the other party's house, can Cui Mingfu tell me about this case first." ”
