"Daddy...... Official, I will return to the Zheng County station tomorrow. Zhao Qian unconsciously changed his name. Only now did he suddenly realize that calling his father, who is an official, a very inappropriate choice. However, it is really strange that Daddy has never pointed it out for so many years. But it was also something that Zhao Qian decided to study. He also wants his sons to see him as a father at a higher rate.

"Good." Zhao Jiaren responded. Coming back from the 'holiday' in the northwest, everyone has rested for a few days and should have recovered their strength and energy.

Zhao Qian continued: "I now believe that it is necessary to give the people the means of production and help retired soldiers become leaders in various units. It also depends on their efforts. ”

"Well, that's hard." Zhao Jiaren nodded in agreement.

"I thought about it again and again, and I had to rely on the school. But the affairs of the school are not in my hands. ”

"Step by step, first transform the political commissar system in the army. The possibility of a major war in the future is very low, and political work must be strengthened in the troops. You are definitely not enough alone, you need to stand with those laborers who want to change their destiny through labor and learning, so that you can have strength. ”

Zhao Qian felt that his mind was much brighter at this time, and he nodded heavily, "Understood!" ”

The operation of 'searching for the nine-tailed fox' itself is actually just like that, but it is just an accidental adventure. What really shocked Zhao Qian was that he finally had the opportunity to communicate with the ministers and directors in charge of the imperial court. Zhao Qian felt that these people were actually very similar to himself, and they all believed that technology could change the future of the Great Song Dynasty and determine the fate of the Great Song Dynasty. If given the opportunity, they all hope to cooperate with Zhao Qian to promote the development of science and technology and industry in Dasong.

This experience stabilized Zhao Qian's originally wavering mind again, and he found that the idea of 'being a wise man' that he had learned from the 'teachings of the sages' a long time ago had collapsed. Whether it's Mingjun or not, it's a matter of what you can do. However, a person who is high up as an emperor has no chance of becoming a Ming monarch no matter what.

Zhao Qian nodded again. He used to think that he would never be as good as his father's unpredictable abilities. After going to find the nine-tailed fox in person this time, Zhao Qian understood that Daddy's strength lies in his knowledge and the concept of using knowledge. As long as you don't relax your studies, you can at least try to hold on to your father's clothes and follow him.

The soil is a mountain, and the wind and rain are prosperous; The water becomes an abyss, and the dragon is born; Accumulate goodness into virtue, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared. On the contrary, it is in accordance with science and the development of industry that we can move forward step by step. Even if you can only move one small step at a time, it is very difficult to accumulate over time.

"Go ahead. I really mastered the government until I was about forty years old, and at the age of nineteen, I began to defeat Kublai Khan in Ezhou. With your current knowledge and experience, you can do it too. Don't be afraid, as long as you are willing to learn and continue to learn, the achievements will not be below me. ”

"Yes." Zhao Qian gave his father a military salute, turned around and left.

Looking at her son's cheerful performance, Qin Yuzhen wanted to say something, but she couldn't help but say it. Back then, every time Zhao Jiaren left home, he was probably like this, and he always held hands and looked at each other with tears in his eyes. This attitude made Qin Yuzhen inexplicably feel that the separation was just the beginning of the reunion, and she would hold hopes and expectations. Now that her son finally has the grandeur of a husband, Qin Yuzhen is happy and emotional. It's like seeing the little swallows at home fly out on their own, and then come home less and less.

Zhao Jiaren was not so moved. Zhao Qian set off, and there are still many things in the country. The high-ranking officials in the army put forward the names of some people this time, and the generals who were completely deprived of judicial power were not so easy to dismiss, and of course they did not dare to make trouble, so they bluntly said that they were not used to these people. The list is in Zhao Jiaren's study, and it is necessary to study who began to deprive these people of their official positions.

More than an hour after Zhao Qian set off, Wen Tianxiang arrived at Zhao Jiaren. It can be seen that Wen Tianxiang, who is almost sixty years old, has not fully recovered his energy, after all, at this age, he does not have a means of transportation for trains and cars. However, Zhao Jiaren did not mean to stop, he asked directly: "Lao Wen, the last minister-level official I said last time went to the local government to be an official, does the ministry have a unified idea?" ”

Wen Tianxiang shook his head. Zhao Jiaren has long made the truth clear, most of the officials in the past followed the old routine, and it is impossible for the young magistrate to show the ability to see a county clearly and come up with an overall solution. Those ministerial-level high-ranking officials who have been trained for many years should have this ability, at least this vision.

It's just that the crux of the matter is not this, and the last term of senior officials at the ministerial level to work at the county level is something that officials simply cannot accept. Living conditions, material needs, factional interests, these people want to use their abilities at the end of their lives to achieve the highest status. This is something they will not back down.

Wen Tianxiang could only pick the best one to say, "Officials, if these officials fail to solve the problem and straighten out the place, how can they deal with themselves?" ”

Zhao Jiaren responded: "Cut, for thousands of years, local governance has not been good. If they can't do it, then it's up to future generations. If you don't do it, there will be opportunities to improve. Do they all count on me, or people like Cai Jing and Ding Daquan? ”

Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Zhao Jiaren opened Mulan Pi in Putian at a young age. The same goes for Cai Jing. Even the prime minister Ding Daquan, who was known as the great traitor, opened up the Baihe Ancient Road that year and solved an important traffic problem in Fujian. Therefore, even if the White Crane Ancient Road is very important and benefits the country and the people, it is still scolded as a bad government.

However, those civil servants do not even do 'bad governance'. Zhao Jiaren's examples are really a bit spicy. Then I heard Zhao Jiaren continue: "I have made up my mind. I would like to ask you, will those officials resign to protest? ”

Wen Tianxiang replied: "The official, the minister thinks that there will always be controversy when doing this. For example, the minister has to be the first to go to a certain county. ”

"As I said, the prime minister is not among them." Zhao Jiaren replied decisively: "Are you still afraid of what others say behind their backs?" ”

"To be afraid of nature is not to be afraid. It's just that there is always some uneasiness in my heart. Wen Tianxiang responded. He is not a person who is particularly greedy for official positions, but once this rule is passed, Wen Tianxiang will be a thorn in the side of the jinshi in the future. Among the various notes recorded by those literati, Wen Tianxiang's image was completely ruined.

Seeing that Wen Tianxiang no longer had the freedom he used to have, Zhao Jiaren smiled and said: "I don't embarrass you, whether you are loyal to the monarch or love yourself." Most people choose to love themselves. I understand this. It's no surprise which side you choose. And I'll make it clear to you, don't think you have a chance to make up for it either side. If you carry out the orders of the imperial court, you will definitely not have a chance to remedy it. A prime minister who is loyal to the court will never have a good reputation. You and I are very aware of this. ”

After speaking, Zhao Jiaren also felt regretful in his heart. It was only after the founding of the People's Republic of China and the cultivation of a large number of science and engineering men that in the discussion of the 'Industrial Party', those who truly served the interests of the country were truly positively evaluated. In addition, during the long era of the literati rule, those who served the interests of the state were slandered and belittled in various ways. It's something very easy to understand.

Wen Tianxiang's reputation in Zhao Jiaren's era did not depend on how he turned the tide, but because Wen Tianxiang could not slander and slander his integrity. Once Wen Tianxiang follows Zhao Jiaren, in the future history books, Wen Tianxiang's reputation will be 99% over. If Wen Tianxiang stood on the side of those literati of feudal culture, he would be praised for a long time.

Zhao Jiaren rarely looks at people in this era with personal feelings, but for Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, and Lu Xiufu, Zhao Jiaren is really ruthless.

"Official, give the minister a few more days. There is no such rush in this matter. The minister figured it out and immediately replied to the official's family. Wen Tianxiang said with a little difficulty.

"Okay." Zhao Jiaren replied briskly.

Leaving Zhao Jiaren's residence, Wen Tianxiang sat in the carriage with some despair. It is difficult to die for eternity, but being scolded by thousands of people after death is probably a more terrible thing than death. Wen Tianxiang asked himself to defend morality all his life, but he didn't expect that he would have to face such a situation in the twilight of his life.

The saying that the official family is as kind as a mountain is that it comes as soon as the Jinshi are concerned, but no one really takes this seriously. It's just that Wen Tianxiang can't ignore Zhao Jiaren, an official who pins all his hopes on him. Especially when the Zhao official family was so tolerant of him. With the prestige and status of the Zhao official family, Wen Tianxiang just resigned and did not do it, and some people would come out to take over as the secretary of the ministry. Then firmly implement the policy of the Zhao official family.

On this trip to 'find the nine-tailed fox', Wen Tianxiang also saw the situation clearly. Too many science and engineering men from the science and engineering background instinctively chose Zhao Qian, the prince who is also a science and engineering man. There was no pressure on them to solve those old Jinshi officials, and it was even something they sincerely looked forward to.

simply resign and do not do it, or resign. In that case, Wen Tianxiang's reputation can be preserved, and his treatment after retirement will not be lost. It's a very good choice. Otherwise, Wen Tianxiang really couldn't find any other choice.

Returning to the ministry in a cranky way, as soon as Wen Tianxiang sat down, the acting minister came in, "Prime Minister, has the official family really made up his mind?" ”

"Yes." Wen Tianxiang didn't want to hide it.

"Isn't that going to make a lot of trouble?" The acting minister asked nervously.

"Yes."

"And then the official family wants to dismiss so many people?" The acting minister had a sad face, if the decision of the Zhao official family was implemented, he would also have to work in the county.

"What can you do?" Wen Tianxiang wanted to borrow the wisdom of others.

The acting minister gritted his teeth, "I think that since this is the case, let's make it sound better and appoint the minister." ”

"Do you think you can fool those people?" Wen Tianxiang smiled bitterly.

"Whether you can deceive or not, at least it's a way. Isn't it the same for the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty to set up the ancestral family law of the mountain spirit envoy in the past? That's all the acting minister can answer.

In ancient times, the emperor died, and the burial place was called the mountain mausoleum. The mountain tomb envoy was in charge of the emperor's funeral, and the Tang and Song dynasties were one of the five envoys of the Great Ceremony, and most of them were temporarily filled by ministers. In the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor often belittled some courtiers in his later years in preparation for the new monarch. Now that Zhao Guan's family is in good health, this trick can't be used, even if it's a deception, it's good to leave some dignity for everyone.

"Or not a county, but a state capital?" Wen Tianxiang asked.

The acting minister's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it okay?" ”

If the minister is placed in the local state capital, then there is no problem at all. This is the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the norm for prime ministers to go to the state capital as officials. Even whether there is fault or not, as long as a prime minister is in power for too long, it must be delegated.

"Can they be specifically concerned about a certain county when they are in the state capital?" Wen Tianxiang asked.

Hearing this, the acting minister's face turned gloomy again. This makes sense, but in fact it is completely implausible. Those ministerial-level officials are too high-eyed, who is willing to work hard for a county. Doing so will only have the opposite effect. Make those people feel like they're really being belittled. There is no more chance of activation. So the acting minister responded: "Prime Minister, if that's the case, it's better to just say that they should go to the county." At least these people can still be justified. Such perfunctory, they are dissatisfied with the court in their hearts, and it will only cause local chaos. ”

This is the insight of the officials, cold and precise. The people in the ministry are all old foxes, and they have a thorough understanding of people's hearts. Wen Tianxiang looked at the acting minister, and the idea of simply retiring was born in his heart again. Whatever this does, it is announcing the end of the politics and official path of those ministerial-level officials. As long as this point is touched, the opponents must insist on confrontation. Even if it is an official like Zhao Guan's family, it will not be easy to get it.

No, the Zhao official family will either completely solve these officials, and then get countless infamy.
