"It's just a merit appraisal."

Gu Yanzhang smiled and said: "I checked the old days of the water supervisor, the second year of Xiyou coincided with the third annual exam, when the second exam, Shen Gong only got half of the question wrong, ranking first among all the water workers in the capital water supervisor, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Shen Cunfu's eyes were originally only staring at the edict in front of him, but when he heard the question of the person opposite, he raised his head suddenly, and couldn't help but retort excitedly: "Where did I get half the question wrong!" The topic of the day, if I want to measure the water depth of the Huai River estuary in Sizhou, I use the method of looking at the ruler, the flat ruler and the high mouth to measure the accuracy, and there is nothing wrong with it! The method they gave was neither cheap nor error-prone, and it should have been changed a long time ago, and they couldn't understand my magic method, and they even said that I was wrong! I ......"

Hearing that Shen Cunfu was wasting time on this useless minutiae, Shen Hehua inside couldn't help but grab Liao Sanniang's hand and said, "Mother! Daddy, why does he talk like that! ”

This time, Liao Sanniang defended her husband like this, and it was difficult to excuse him again, so she had to gently pat her daughter's hand and whispered: "Adults don't care, children!" ”

Shen Hehua pursed her mouth, opened the curtain, and looked out again.

Shen Cunfu was still chattering, and said: "Reasoning can't win me, and he refuses to do what I say, obviously I won the first place in the exam, and it wasn't me who got the rank change in the end, if I hadn't sued Liu Neiquan, this matter would have been over!" ”

Liao Xu's seat was opposite him, and when he heard this, he was really uncomfortable, and he wanted Gu Yanzhang on the same side to explain a few words, but in front of Shen Cunfu, he didn't say much.

How so?

Your method of high mouth and accuracy cannot be understood by anyone except yourself, although it seems to be right, but who dares to believe it? What if it's wrong next time? What if it's just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse?

But even if you got half of the question wrong, you still ranked first, but you refused to let it, and the two of you quarreled with the main bookkeeper and official affairs, and then because there was no name in the list, you went to Liunequan to complain, and since then, you have not even taken the three-year exam.

This matter was originally justified by you, and everyone in the water prison knew about it, but it was because of you that the examination was cancelled, and the top and bottom of the prison were less promoted and moved once every three years, and others read that you were old, and you did have the ability, and you suffered a big loss, so it was not good to deal with you, but who didn't secretly scold your mother in your heart?

The so-called pity can also be hateful, but that's it.

But if you act more slowly, you have changed your official body early, and look at the master book, which was originally still carried by you, how fast is it now? Everyone else can go up, why can't you alone?

Most of the water supervisors are part-time, and they don't take care of things, only the chief bookkeeper is in charge of the power, and it is just that one term is not in line with you, and any appointment is not in line with you, and you don't want to think about it, is the problem just on others, and it has nothing to do with you?

Shen Cunfu was still saying: "The people in the capital water prison are blind, but the people in Liunequan are not blind, seeing such a random promotion......"

Liao Xu endured and endured, he really couldn't help it, and was about to refute before he opened his mouth, but Gu Yanzhang, who could hear it on the side, said: "The past has passed, I have been instructed by Fan Jian Cheng to promote you as an official according to the old file of Xiyou's two-year examination, do you have any objections?" ”

Shen Cunfu's two words of "promotion" were worthy of his mouth, but he was blocked back by Gu Yanzhang's words, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer.

He was actually full of grievances and wanted to pour out, and he didn't know whether he was comforting himself, or convincing others, or wanting to let the newly appointed chief clerk know that his family was not in vain, but actually very capable, all because others were not used to seeing it, so he was today.

However, when he heard this, his first reaction was to blurt out: "I have a brother named Gao Ya, and he is generally ranked in the top three in the exam that day......"

Liao Xu listened from the sidelines, and he didn't even want to look at him anymore.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed that there were such unsophisticated people in the world.

It's already an old handful, and it's not a little yellow hair that just came, in front of the new Shangfeng, a mouthful of "my brother", a mouthful of "blind people in the water prison", that is, you don't care about the future, don't care about the perception of the peak, how much you have to consider for Gaoya Gaogong, right?

What did the summit think of you?

Liao Xu took it for himself, if he was a newcomer, he would definitely not be able to help but think: I don't see any great achievements in the past, and I actually formed a gang here. It's not a good deal, but it's also a cheap one.

You think this edict is a radish and cabbage on the street, and you can pick and choose at will one end at a time if you give a few more copper plates?

How can such people be reused in the future?

Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly look at Gu Yanzhang on the side, for fear that if he couldn't help it, he would have a seizure on the spot.

- I've heard that this new official is only in his twenties, although he looks kind on his face, but at such a young age, he can climb to today's high position, there must be a reason, and I don't know what the background is.

When he is young, his sharpness is heavy, just like Zhang Hu and Zhang Zhang in the past, seeing people so inching in front of him, relying on the old and selling the old, how can he bear it?

Liao Xu leaned his body slightly to the left, and poked his legs out, preparing that once this Gu official was about to get up and say goodbye, he would be able to follow immediately, and he wouldn't fall behind.

Gu Yanzhang didn't know that the person sitting next to him had so many thoughts in his head.

He had already inquired clearly before he came, and knew that Shen and Gao were brothers and sisters, advancing and retreating together, so he heard Shen Cunfu say this, but he was not surprised. As for forming gangs and getting an inch, I don't really need to take it to heart.

Can you do things well, no matter how you pull or knot? Who doesn't have a preference?

As long as he is really talented and has a somewhat perverse temperament, he will go, how can there be a perfect person in the world?

However, if you want to take benefits, it is naturally not so easy.

He didn't hesitate much, and quickly replied, "I do have two edicts in hand. ”

Shen Cunfu grabbed the first part in his hand and refused to let go, his small eyes were already round, staring at Gu Yanzhang deadly.

"There are a lot of water workers in the water prison." Gu Yanzhang opened his mouth and said, "I discussed two edicts with Fan Jiancheng, naturally I can't do it willfully, I took this assignment, I came to do things, this share was given to Shen Gong, one is that in the past ten years, whether it is the water shortage of Cao Village in Zhongmu County, Huangchipi Doumen, and the dam and berm repair of Dabailong in the western boundary of Beijing, these several things, Shen Gong are among them, and he is also the head of the hydraulic engineering, and there is also a matter of Xiyou's two-year examination, a few totals, before I dare to give it. ”

"However, this other one has to be evaluated according to merit."

His tone was very gentle, and he looked like he was talking about things, and then pointed to the copy of Daoluo Tongbian on the side, and said: "The official body is above this matter, but it is taken by ability, and those who are capable can get it." ”
