Chapter 36: The Yiren Have No Heart
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the story of the three invitations, right?" Hai Rui smiled and said, "How is it?" You're not going to refuse to be a teacher again, are you? That can only mean that the teacher's morality is shallow, and he can't recruit talents, and this old face is really going to be thrown to grandma's house. β
It was rare for Hai Rui to make a joke, and Cheng Zhong replied again: "The teacher is not rude to the student, and he is responsible for such a heavy burden, and the student dares not to swear to serve his life?" β
"Hahaha......" Hai Rui stood up, stretched out his hands to help Cheng Zhong, and said again and again: "Okay, good, this Huating County is the place where you and my master and apprentice can spread the economy and show their strength!" β
On the surface, Huating County can no longer be ordinary among the more than 300 counties in the Ming Dynasty, but who knows that a huge change will be brewing here, and Hai Rui, the county magistrate, is the one who presides over this change.
This is a big opportunity, and if we do it well, Hairui will be able to rise to the top. But at the same time, this also contains great risks, one does not do well, not to mention the dismissal, and even Hai Rui wants to get out of the whole body.
Therefore, Hai Rui had to be cautious, he did not dare to trust anyone lightly, as soon as he took office, he drove the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper of Huating County home, not because he did not understand the rules of officialdom, nor because he had a quirky personality and acted arbitrarily, it was really a last resort.
As a result, he became a loner for a while, busy with the county government and mundane affairs all day long, and had no time to deploy at all.
The appearance of Cheng Zhong made Hai Rui have a feeling of brightness.
First: Cheng Zhong and he have the same philosophy. This is what Hai Rui learned in the exam papers of Cheng Zhong County, and Hai Rui even introduced Cheng Zhong as a confidant!
Secondly, Cheng Zhong has an extraordinary ability to observe, which is vividly shown in Du Chongde's case, from Du Chongde's dress to the strangeness, to peeling off the cocoon, finding clues to meditation, and even speculating on the modus operandi, although there are some coincidences, but this kind of analysis and observation ability even Hai Rui sighs to himself!
Third, that is Cheng Zhong's courage. In the face of Xu Kun's coercion and Hu Laosi's coercion, Cheng Zhong was still able to stand up and be fearless, not to mention that it was commendable on a half-grown child or an adult.
Fourth, and most importantly, this is the point. Cheng Zhong doesn't have any background, which allows him to stand in a relatively fair and fair perspective; Just like a blank sheet of paper, it is easier to accept Hai Jui's governance philosophy and more thoroughly implemented.
Based on the above points, Hai Rui felt that Cheng Zhong was simply an excellent candidate sent to him by God!
But Hai Jui also knows very well that he is walking a thorny road full of dangers. Therefore, he asked Cheng Zhong to take the post of canonical history, but the director was not his own staff, but the criminal name of Huating County, one is to use his strengths, and the other is to protect him. This is also the reason why Hai Rui is reluctant to explain his mission to Cheng Zhong now.
"Teacher, the student has another request that is difficult to say." Cheng Zhong hesitated for a moment and said.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Hai Rui said.
"Although the students are shallow, they still want to make progress in their studies, so the students ask the yamen to come if they have something, and if there is nothing to do, the disciples still want to study in the county school." Cheng Zhong said.
Although the classic history is a civil servant, and it has a lot of real power, this is not the end of Cheng Zhong's pursuit, after all, the classic history can only be regarded as a small official! Today, Hai Rui is happy to appoint him, and one day Hai Rui is unhappy, or if he changes the magistrate, his history will be erased again.
Even if he has always been able to win Hai Jui's favor and follow Hai Jui to rise step by step, he is only a show of talent and fame, and it is estimated that he will be a literary friend (the master of Ming Dynasty officials, the author's note) in the future, that is, the goods of a staff member. To put it nicely, it's a think tank, and to put it badly, it's like a tree without roots, no matter how tall it grows, it has to be attached to others.
Even if Cheng Zhong just wants to be a staff member, he must choose a good wood and attach it.
Is Hai Rui a good tree? Apparently not! Although Hai Rui's official later work was not small, Cheng Zhong did not know much about what Cheng dΓΉ was.
But Hai Rui's official career was bumpy, and he was even sent to prison by Emperor Jiajing! Although in the end, all of them survived, but who can guarantee that the subordinates who followed him will also survive?
In addition, a very important point is that Hai Rui is strict with himself and others, especially with his subordinates, even after becoming a high-ranking official, he also eats chaff and vegetables, which is very simple, which is not the life that Cheng Zhong wants.
Therefore, Cheng Zhong was not willing to be attached to Hai Jui for a long time, so he asked to take on the work of canonical history while not dropping out of school, in order to get rid of Hai Jui's influence.
Hai Rui didn't realize Cheng Zhong's dirty thoughts at all, but felt that Cheng Zhong was ambitious, tenacious, and a material that could be made, so he couldn't help but nod again and again and said: "This is exactly what the teacher wants to tell you." Cheng Zhong, your future is great, you will not be under the teacher, the teacher is looking forward to you soaring into the sky as soon as possible. β
Cheng Zhong smiled slightly, he was not really a teenager, he was fluttering and carried away by Hai Rui's words. When it comes to the present, Hai Jui has not talked about one topic, that is, salary.
Did Hai Rui forget it? Or did he not think about it at all?
"Teacher, you should also know the dilemma of the student's family, if the student serves as a canon, he will definitely not have time to find other livelihoods to support his family. My mother is old and frail, you see ......" Cheng Zhong did not hide it, but said his requirements bluntly.
"I knew you were going to ask." Hai Rui did not have the slightest unhappy expression, but breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Cheng Zhong, according to the convention, the classic history is three taels of silver every month, and there will be no shortage of any money for the teacher. You must remember this clearly, otherwise the teacher will not spare you! β
Hai Rui's speech was very slow, and his expression was extremely strict.
Some people may wonder that Hai Rui, as the magistrate of the county, is only forty or fifty taels of silver a year, and the monthly money of the canon history has reached three taels, isn't it much less than that of the magistrate?
It is true that this system was set by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the classic history, even the chauffeur of the county government is not much different from the county. It's just that the county government is responsible for the daily expenses of the county, and the coachman has to bear it himself, and the county can dispose of food consumption and fire consumption, and this income is much higher than that of Yulu.
With the deduction of history, although the number of officials has not increased, but the number of officials has increased exponentially, some of them only have a meager income, or even no income, in order to survive, of course, they have to use the power in their hands to blackmail, loot the people's fat and ointment, this has become a major stubborn disease of officialdom, it is difficult to get rid of it at all.
Hai Rui was worried that Cheng Zhong would also be driven by money and be willing to fall, so he solemnly warned him.
In fact, there is no need for Hai Rui to explain this point, Cheng Zhong knows very well in his heart that in the position of the canonical history, even if he is greedy for ink, it is only a small profit, and he can't make a few taels, and dozens of silver cars will ruin his future, which is simply a mouse's eye.
With Hai Rui's three taels of silver a month, and Xiucai's rice, Cheng Zhong at least doesn't have to worry about not having enough food and clothing now.
The two chatted again, and Hai Rui saw that Cheng Zhong's eyelids were a little astringent, so he made an appointment to go to the county school together early tomorrow morning and blew out the candle to rest.
At this time, the Xie Mansion was still brightly lit, and Xie Mengting, Xie Sicun and others did not rest, listening carefully to Xie Jiangbo's account of the investigation of Du Chongde's case.
Xie Jiangbo spat and splashed, although some details were not particularly clear, but the general situation was not wrong.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Jiangbo boasted that Cheng Zhong was a capable person who was able to see everything and solve the case, of course, as Cheng Zhong's close friend, Xie Jiangbo also made great contributions, provided very important clues, and at the critical moment, he stepped forward and fought side by side with Cheng Case, forming a deep combat friendship.
Regarding Xie Jiangbo's boasting, Xie Sicun just pouted, and he didn't believe it at all.
First, she didn't believe that Cheng Zhong, a disciple, really had that much ability, in her opinion, the case should have been solved by Hai Rui, but Hai Rui wanted to promote his student, which made him come out.
Second, after the whole case is solved, it seems to be much more ordinary, and there seems to be nothing unusual, and some people even think: It's so simple, who wouldn't?
Third, she knows her brother very well, although Xie Jiangbo is not a half-ass, but he has not done a few serious things, what is to Jingxinzhai to investigate the case, this kind of lie is okay with others, but Xie Sicun knows that Xie Jiangbo is eating flower wine with Cheng Zhong, hum is really a pervert!
How did Xie Jiangbo know that his praise for Cheng Zhong's packaging box completely played a annoying role in Xie Sicun! And Xie Jiangbo's hard work was in vain.
