Chapter 14: Clever Calculations
After passing the gate to the Yimen, there were more than 20 guards guarding the Yimen, holding steel knives in their hands, which were stricter than the guards at the door.
"The lord has something to say, but he doesn't see outsiders. If this scholar has something, it is better to say it, and we will bring you a message. When he came down to the old man, our brothers didn't dare to disobey, and one of them was careless, and his legs were broken, who would he go to reason? ”
Li Yanqing was familiar with the road, took ten taels of silver and sent it over, although the martial arts of the Yimen were strong, but they could not resist the power of this silver bullet, so he immediately changed his appearance, and pushed the official guarding the door, "Go outside to guard, and rush in after being killed, but you are responsible, or am I responsible?" This son is brought by me, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
After the instrument door, into the front yard of the main hall, see the lobby in the middle, there are push officials, experience two halls, the outside of the lobby along a roll of the gallery house is where the six rooms of the government are. Bypassing the main hall to the backyard house, this is close to the core of the yamen, where the master and the master all live. The access control here is more conscientious than that of the gate and the instrument gate, and it is enough for Li Yanqing to spend twenty taels of silver to get the communication.
But this money willow is also worth it, this door got the silver two, the action is fast, first go in the Tongyu, and then rush out after a while" It turned out that the old man Liu of Xiangshan County arrived, the villain has no eyes and does not know the real person, and I hope that the big man is not strange. My eldest lord instructed, please go in and talk back. ”
The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although this little doorman is a slave himself, but he is a slave of the prefect, and he can act as a disciple, he must be a confidant, how dare Li Yanqing really treat him as a person? Busy talking to himself, he didn't dare, followed the door in, came to the living room, and met Lin Shouzheng, the prefect of Guangzhou.
This Lin Shouzheng is sixty years old this year, and he is also a little older, but he is a kind old man, and he has no arrogance, and he chatted a few words with Li Yanqing, and asked about the situation of Jingshi, and listened to his answer, and believed fifty percent in his heart.
Then, I looked at the three letters, which were Guo Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Li Chunfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Gong, the newly promoted scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, and I didn't dare to underestimate them. How old is he age, and he is afraid that he will not be able to read the words clearly, so he abruptly surprised the three nobles, specially took a pair of crystal glasses and put them on, and looked at them carefully.
These three nobles are in high positions and have a high authority, and they are in charge of the overall situation, and it is impossible for them to do everything themselves. Although Liu Chaozuo is a rare genius in the Ming Dynasty, he can be the jade pillar of the sky and the golden beam of the sea, but after all, he is only a seven-grade local pro-people official, not a feudal official. are all subordinates and nephews, cronies or Mrs. Ru do it on their behalf, but the private seal at the place of payment is the real thing.
At the beginning, Liu Chaozuo asked Li Yanqing to borrow money, in addition to dealing with the officials, the main thing was to buy these three letters of recommendation, otherwise there would be no documents, and the official would not be able to sit steadily. When Lin Shouzheng saw the three letters, he knew that the handsome young man sitting in front of him must be the future pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
The original place of origin written on his body is Jiangxi, but looking at this recommendation letter, he and the three elders have become fellow villagers. A person has three origins in Jiangxi, Henan, and Yangzhou at the same time, and the three bigwigs in the north and south of the river are the township party. This person is not to be underestimated.
Besides, the current situation in Xiangshan, it is really difficult for him not to clean up, and the smile on his face is even stronger at the moment, "Brother Liu, you must have worked hard all the way." But I still want to say two things to you, since you are a parent of a county, you should think of the people. The people of Xiangshan look forward to your county, like a naughty boy looking forward to their parents, like a seedling looking forward to nectar, come one day early, the people's hearts can be blocked one day earlier, one day late, Li Min will suffer one more day, you are late, you are late. ”
Master Lin is a native of Zhejiang, and these two sentences have been said a hundred times and thousands of times, which have the style of Yue Opera in later generations, so that Li Yanqing almost couldn't help but applaud. "Lin Weng, the official was just outside the gate, and he saw a group of ignorant fools, gathered outside the yamen, shouting and shouting......"
"You've seen it all, so what does the old man of the province say. This is all a good thing done by your predecessor, as soon as you die, but you throw a mess to this house, you must take this as a warning, act cautiously, be cautious and cautious, and do not be the slightest sloppy, otherwise, this is a lesson for you. ”
"The lower officials don't dare. It's just that they are outside, but it is not easy for the lower officials to take office. Locally, if there is already a civil uprising, the lower officials are only afraid that they will be unable to suppress the situation when they first arrive, and when the time comes, there will be a big mess, which will damage your dignity. ”
He still wants to make the responsibilities clear, so as not to carry the black pot in the future. It is important to know that there was a popular rebellion in the appointment of the magistrate, which was a major mistake, and if it was not done well, it would be a great bad deed if the victory was solid, and if it was defeated, it would be a great bad deed. The officials of the Ming Dynasty are lazy, and they have a lot of success, and it is also because there are various reward and punishment systems there, and everyone will show up as soon as they calculate, and the more work they do, the more wrong they will be, and if they don't do well, they will be removed from the office.
On the contrary, if you don't do anything, you can still keep a peace, no merit and no fault, at least you can keep your position, and maybe you can still have a good reputation of doing nothing, so there are fewer and fewer people who do not work, and more and more people who do not do it. Although Li Yanqing has not yet practiced to such a high level, he still understands how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and if there is a civil change in Xiangshan, it is better not to be an official.
Lin Shouzheng hurriedly said: "Liu Zhixian, you are too worried. Because Xiangshan has no officials at the moment, all the affairs of the people can't be handled, so that the people are panicked, and there are many disorderly actions in the predecessor, so some foolish people jump out and do some perverse things. However, at best, they only shouted twice, shouted two sentences, and could not make any big waves, if there was really a civil uprising, the old man would have already issued an official document and mobilized officers and soldiers to suppress it. Now it's just some people making trouble, and with those officials here, it doesn't matter. You just have to take office with peace of mind and handle your part well, and when the old man waits for the performance appraisal, he will say a lot of good things for you and let you be promoted as soon as possible. You are not more than twenty years old, you have already won the lift, he has a bright future, as long as you work hard, the future will be bright, you must not make mistakes. ”
"Thank you Lin Weng for cultivating, it's just that there are those people gathered outside right now, and the lower officials want to take office, I'm afraid it's not very convenient. If we are entangled by them, won't we lose our dignity as officials? ”
"Don't worry, they can't stay, it's not dark, they have to go back to Xiangshan. There is a Yunlai Inn in the city, which is the quietest, you stay there for one night, and tomorrow you take office, and you make sure that you don't meet each other. I also sent someone to say hello to the Xiangshan County side and let them get ready for it. ”
"Lin Weng is really clever, and he can even calculate clearly when these people are making trouble, admiration and admiration."
"It's nothing that can't be reckoned, today is a big gathering in the city, and these people have come to catch the market. If you sell something but don't want to pay taxes, you come to the government to make a fuss, and the tax department will not dare to collect their stall money and business taxes, this is not the first time, after you take office, you must be strictly restrained, and you must not let the people be so nonsense anymore. Besides, the summer tax in Xiangshan County has not been paid, and the autumn grain can be urged, although it is an inferior county, it is also 20,000 stone a year, and the money and grain that should be paid must also be paid, otherwise what expenses will the government take? ”
