Chapter 44: The transformed Gu Yong
Yuan sigh township, intersection. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yo, isn't this Gu Yuansi? Why are you standing directly at the intersection, and what's going on with this outfit? Looking at the scene in front of him, Huang Zu couldn't help but smile and said.
At this time, Gu Yong was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and his face was tanned a lot. The skin is also a lot rougher. was originally a handsome young man, but at this time, he directly turned into a muscular man. It's true, too much has changed!
"Yes, the previous Yuan sighed, the skin was light and fair, just like a woman. But now, I'm really a little afraid to recognize each other. Cai Mao said curiously.
In the past, everyone was a figure in the second-generation circle, who didn't know anyone? Therefore, for Gu Yong, although Cai Mao is not familiar with it, he basically knows it. I've said it several times, but it's like this at this time, and I'm really curious, curious.
Looking at the many friends and their curious eyes, Gu Yong shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, this is the result of my training at the grassroots level." Wu Guogong said that the prime minister must start at the grassroots level, and those who want to be big officials must have experience working at the grassroots level. Therefore, in order to fulfill my dream of Shangshu, or even the dream of being a prime minister, it is normal to work hard. ”
Hearing this, seeing Gu Yong's serious appearance, everyone stopped laughing. It also means that the joke ends here, and the next class has to be serious.
"So, Yuan Si are you really optimistic about the future of Wu Guo?" Kuai Yue asked.
"Yes, I am looking at Wu Guo little by little, from scratch, from 10,000 people, to now millions of people. And the time consumed is only a short year! Gu Yong said excitedly.
As early as after the Xu family was wiped out, Gu Yong threw himself under Lin Yang's command. also struggled from a small village chief to a small township head. Therefore, when speaking, there is a subconscious sense of honor and achievement.
Seeing this, Pang Tong frowned, and then said, "But the current Wu Kingdom is still very weak." You work so hard, but you're just a township chief, is it worth it? ”
"yes, that's what I thought too, was it worth it? You must know that with your identity, if you want to be an official, even if you go to the imperial examination, you can take the Jinshi exam, and then directly become a county magistrate! Ma Liang said with some puzzlement.
For the sons of the family, there are at least three ways to become a leader.
The first is to raise hope, and then through various methods, to make one's reputation spread to a county, a state, and even the whole country. Then, naturally, there will be a big official to recruit you! When the time comes, won't you be an official?
This road is taken by the sons of outstanding families with deep relationships, rich connections, and very wealth! Ordinary people can't take this road at all.
And on this road, once you become an official, you will at least be a staff member of a state-level official. Therefore, generally speaking, only the sons of first-class families at the state level will do this!
(A second-rate family at the county level can also do this, but the success rate is not large, and the starting point is not very high, usually just the staff of the county guard, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.) )
The second is the imperial examination. Directly participate in the imperial examination. Then pass the county exam, pass the county exam, pass the state exam, and finally enter Taixue, you can become an official directly. Abbreviated as three exams for life! After all, after entering Taixue, you can directly confer an official!
Of course, if you still want to continue taking the exam, you can also take the exam in the final capital Luoyang while studying Taixue. The winner is Jinshi.
However, after becoming a jinshi, there is also a palace examination that determines whether you are a first-class, second-class, or third-class person.
And this road is the main way for the real poor to get motivated, not by relationships, but by personal skills.
However, it is a pity that due to the unfair distribution of educational resources, even in the imperial examination, the average score of the sons of the family is far better than that of ordinary scholars!
The third type is self-recommendation. Actually, in a sense, it's pretty much the same as the first method. It's just that Mao Sui recommended himself, found the county guard or the state assassin history, and submitted a famous post, which is the so-called business card, and introduced himself.
Then, see if this big official can take a fancy to you. If you look at the right eye, congratulations, you will become an official directly!
"Yes, even if you go to recommend yourself, you won't be just a little township chief."
Hearing this, Gu Yong shook his head helplessly. I have to say that this question is really difficult to answer, and it is even a little heartbreaking! However, it seems that if you don't answer, it will affect the rest of the matter, so let's just say it.
"As you know, due to some unspeakable reasons, my talents from Jiangdong have not been to the Central Plains for a long time. and the Central Plains, there is some estrangement. Therefore, whether it is to raise hope, or self-recommendation, or even the imperial examination, the difficulty is much greater than that of ordinary families. ”
As for the exact reason, it can only be said that it is a historical legacy. This is not only true in Jiangdong, but also in Jingzhou. The entire southern family is treated like this. This is called the dispute between the north and the south, and it is also called regional discrimination!
Even in later generations, it will not be able to change this situation, what the people of the capital look down on the people of the place, the people of Xiangjiang, and the people of the mainland. Can anyone change that?
This situation is exactly what Pang Tong and they are worried about. The families in the north have always looked down on the families in the south. And the families in the capital, even the families in the north, look down on them, how can they look down on the families in the south?
And the family in Jiangdong is, unfortunately, at the bottom of all the southern families! How miserable is it? It's so miserable that others don't admit it!
Over the ages, no matter how outstanding the sons of Jiangdong families are, the vast majority of their final official positions are just a county guard!
"Of course, there is another reason, do you know where you are under your feet now?" Gu Yong suddenly said with some excitement.
"Foot, is it Koto?"
"Is it Wu Guo?"
"It's Yuanyan Township, the name of this township has been decided, and it will be called Yuanyan Township forever in the future! And the word Yuan sigh is my word. In the future, even if something unexpected happens in Wu Kingdom, at least, this Yuan sigh hometown can still be preserved! ”
Hearing this, the eyes of Pang Tong and the others lit up instantly. They are all sons of a family, and they have received so many years of elite education, how many of them are fools?
"Okay, what's the matter if you're always standing at the intersection, come in with me first." As he spoke, he took the second generation and went to the place where he lived, which was also the place where the township office was located at this time.
The place where the village lives is very simple. The advantage is that they are all new, the style of construction, and also very novel. Well, I haven't seen it before anyway.
They are all three-story small buildings, and inside the building, there is a courtyard, and in the courtyard, there is a well, and under the courtyard, there is also a cellar.
Well, because of Lin Yang, basically the entire Jiangdong is in this style. Only a big official, a real big official, has a mansion like no other.
For example, Lin Yang himself, at this time, he has a villa of dozens of acres. The scenery inside is beautiful, pavilions and pavilions, and there are many of them!
Guo Jia and Tai Shici also have them. It's just that they rarely live in it. are all leading by example, living in a three-story building, calling on the officials of Wu to work hard!
"Come on, come on, try the big bowl of local tea, which was only produced this year. It's not pre-rain tea, although the quality is average, but it's the tea I picked the tea myself. Usually I have a lot of life to collect, but today you are here, so I am willing to take it out. However, the taste is not good, don't see it. ”
As he spoke, Gu Yong took out more than two dozen large bowls and began to make tea for Pang Tong. As soon as the boiling water is flushed, the tea leaves fly around. It looks pretty good, too. To use a literary and artistic expression, it has a different flavor!
Pounce, cough cough......
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that. This tea will be so bitter. It seems that in the past year, Yuan Si has really suffered a lot. Pang Tong frowned tightly and said.
However, after saying that, he had a bitter face, gritted his teeth, and drank a few big sips. This time, I didn't spit it out again.
"Hey, this is normal, when I first went down to the grassroots level, I was not better than you. In the beginning, I had a lot of food and clothing every day, and although I worked hard, the people always looked at me with visions. Finally, in desperation, I began to live with the people. ”
"I eat whatever they eat. I drink whatever they drink. If one day, some people have not eaten, I will help them solve the problem before eating. In this way, half a year later, there is the existence of Yuan Sixiang! ”
"I can only say that in the past, I really didn't eat the fireworks of the world, and I didn't know much about the people. Therefore, in this process, not only has Yuansixiang been developed, but even my own strength is also improving by leaps and bounds! Gu Yong said with a radiant face.
When he spoke, he was full of energy, and a confident and optimistic momentum followed. Subconsciously, I infected the friends next to me! If it weren't for the personal image of drinking a few sips of tea from time to time, it would be even better.
"This is the role of the grassroots, to enhance the strength and polish the state of mind? I understand that in the past, when we did things, we looked at everything from the perspective of the family. After going down to the grassroots level, he had to live from the perspective of the people. In this way, the three views will inevitably change. In this way, the mood is improved, and it is understandable. Pang Tong analyzed.
"Yes, I've heard that those masters, after getting the information of the other world, tend to think seriously for a while, and then their mood will improve. The accumulated strength will be increased by one point again. And Yuan sighs that your current grassroots level actually has the same magic! Ma Liang said with a smile.
"Then the question is, are these Wu Guogong's unintentional orders, or did he expect them a long time ago?" Suddenly, Pang Tong raised his head and said very seriously.
