Chapter 169: Wen Han is frustrated
In their view, cleaning up the accounts of the household department is like taking care of his family's back garden, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere, if they follow Qian Wenhan's method, won't their authority and monopoly be broken and deprived? Those officials began to find various ways to prevaricate and resist, and the Langzhong, Wailang, and the chief of the various Qing Officials felt that Qian Wenhan was really having nothing to do, and he had nothing to do to find a draw, Hong Guogang didn't expect to encounter such a big trouble, and he also received news that the Queen Mother was going to marry Qian Wenjin, seeing that the cooked duck flapped its wings and flew away, his attitude towards Wen Han became stiff, and he even asked Wen Han to come up with an implementation plan for the implementation of the new accounting method.
Wen Han was pressed up and down and sandwiched in the middle, and life suddenly became difficult.
Wei Shi saw that his son was becoming more and more emaciated, depressed, and anxious, Qian Xiancong was also alarmed, and for the sake of his nephew, he was ready to bring gifts to visit Hong Guogang, but the county lord of Yujie felt that it was not very appropriate, and the family had different opinions.
At this moment, Qian Jun returned to the capital: "Wen Han, I have found Wen Jin's grandfather's house, and in a few days, they will arrive in the capital." ”
"Really?" Wen Han is also really happy for Wen Jin, although they are not a family, but they are closer than many relatives in this world, Wen Jin's happy event is their family's happy event.
"Yes, I have already asked his old man to kiss, on the other side, it is the girl who picks her own mother-in-law's house, and the old man said, when I see Wen Jin and make sure that she likes me, I will give us a happy event."
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Hey, hey, if you tell Wen Jin, knowing that there are still relatives in this world, she will definitely be happy."
"Apart from her maternal ancestor, what other relatives does Wen Jin have over there?"
"It's more, her grandmother is gone, and she has three uncles, two aunts, cousins, and a lot of cousins. There is a girl in Wen Jin's third uncle's family, who is very similar to her, and the rest of the cousins are somewhat alike, but not so similar, you will understand what I said when you see them, Wen Jin and them must be relatives. ”
"That's great." Wen Han stroked his palms and smiled.
Qian Jun smiled and didn't speak, imagining the scene of Wen Jin seeing his relatives, and felt that his hard work in the past few months had not been in vain.
Sending Qian Jun away, Wen Han saw that it was still early, so he couldn't wait to relay the news to Wen Jin.
Hearing that she was still half a minority, Wen Jin was surprised and happy, hehe, the girl chooses her own mother-in-law's family, if her grandfather can really support her, Wen Jin will be so lucky.
"Hmph, if you wait for my grandfather and them to return, I'll go with me, it's better than going into the palace to be a canary." Wen Jin secretly planned.
Qian Jun's return did not make Wen Han happy, and in the face of official business, he was heavy and depressed. The whole family was anxious, and finally, on a warm summer evening, the family sat in the gazebo in the garden, drinking tea and discussing what to do next for Wen Han.
"Brother, giving up is the easiest way, and then, after half a year, find a way to transfer to a local place, be a county magistrate or something, after more than ten years, who still remembers this?"
"Yes, Wen Jin is right, I will find a way to help you find someone and transfer you out of the household department." Qian Xiancong nodded in agreement.
"No! If I run away like this, I will never have much success in this life, and the more difficult things are, the more I will sharpen people's will, I, I don't want to give up. Wen Han gritted his teeth, he also analyzed it, and felt that persistence may not be a road, although it was a little more difficult.
But ...... "The whole family thought it was too difficult.
"Brother, if you want to insist, where do you start? How to implement the idea? ”
Wen Han gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word.
Wen Jin can understand his brother's difficulties, think about him is only twenty-one years old, in his previous life, most young people were still studying in college, even if they studied early, they had just entered the workplace, and they were still called by those old employees to be slaves.
Brother, these are all department-level cadres of the Ministry of Finance, how can it not be difficult?
"Brother, those officials are not court officials, it is not difficult to replace, if a group of account-making experts are cultivated, it should be easy to replace them, right? Besides, there are many of them, each with their own thoughts, and it will not be monolithic, you have a good visit, find a few capable ones, and ask the above to promote them to the officials in charge, seven grades, yes, that is, seven grades, just enough to be at the level of a decent official, to be able to seal a mother and wife, no one can refuse such a temptation. Then, let those women train them, and at the same time, recruit a group of fallen lifters to participate in the training, and when you have enough manpower, you are not afraid that those officials will turn the world upside down. ”
"Okay, this is a good solution!" The whole family had a smile on their faces.
Wen Han lowered his head and thought about it, and shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid Lord Hong won't support me!" ”
"Brother, how old is Lord Hong? Just fifty, the left waiter of the household is sixty years old, in the position of the left waiter, for ten years, I heard that at that time, they all thought that the king should be in charge of the household, but because the king and the Liu family are the in-laws of the corner, and this position is missed, the king has been looking for trouble with the Hong, hoping to sit in the position of a first-class member in his lifetime, it is better for you to hand over your plan to the Hong, and the mother will send a post to Mrs. Wang in the past few days, and she will visit soon. ”
Everyone in the room looked at Wen Jin, not understanding what she meant.
"The emperor asked Lord Hong to handle this matter at his discretion, and he didn't say that he would stop and not do it, his brother had already given him a good way, if he was still pressing, his heart would definitely be a little unbearable, and when he saw the county lord's mother go to the palace of Lord Wang, he must be worried that you still want to take refuge over there. Lord Wang has been very close to Uncle Guo's Mansion recently, just to get Hong Guogang down, what they lack is an opportunity, Lord Hong knows very well in his heart, he is afraid that you will take refuge in the past. ”
"That's right." Qian Xiancong couldn't help but high-five and praise.
Wen Han is still pondering, he is much more complicated than the third uncle, Wen Jin waits quietly, his brother can think more, which proves that he knows in his heart and is much more mature than before.
"Wen Jin, you say, what if Lord Hong resolutely refuses to agree, and Lord Wang tries his best to win him over?"
Wen Jin clapped his hands: "Brother, you must already have an idea in your heart, right?" ”
Wen Han nodded: "As we all know, the emperor will never allow his relatives to sit big, and Lord Wang will not have a future, I can only take advantage of the contradictions between King Hong, and I can't really take refuge." ”
Qian Xiancong also came back to his senses and agreed: "Wen Han has to think about it, this degree must be grasped, and he must leave room for redemption for Lord Hong, don't let him feel that the matter is a foregone conclusion, and he will completely let go." ”
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, I'm going to think about it!"
The flower hall was silent for a while, and everyone was happy that things could turn around, but they were also worried about this difficult operation.
Qian Xiancong was also inspired by Wen Jin, he turned his head to his wife and said, "Didn't Mrs. Wang come to you, hoping to sell the vegetables produced in Zhuangzi to Wen Jin Hotel?" You just give her this sweetness, if Hong Guogang sees the opportunity, we don't have to say anything, if Hong Guogang is obsessed, what's the harm in pulling him down? ”
"But ......"
Qian Xiancong is much more high-end than Wen Han Wenjin, once he has an idea, his vision is naturally different, and he only listens to him: "The household department is not the two officials of Lord Hong and Lord Wang, besides, other departments are also eyeing the position of the head of the household department.
Wen Han understood and smiled at the third uncle. Wen Jin guessed that there must be some powerful official competing for this position, she also smiled, the more chaotic the better, Brother Wen Han just fished in troubled waters.
Wen Han was so excited by his own thoughts that his face was flushed, he was the head of a six-grade business, from now on, he would either be a close confidant of Lord Shangshu, or, the reason for pulling him off the horse, it would be difficult for him to become famous, who else would dare to plunder his edge in this household in the future? His heart couldn't help but get excited, it was man-made, he Qian Wenhan was not so easy to provoke.
No matter how good the plan is, it also depends on whether the executor is effective, if Wen Han hadn't exercised in Zhongjiang for more than a year, this matter would probably not have succeeded, but now, he is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past, and he already knows how to use a look and a movement to give people a hint.
Sure enough, Hong Guogang quickly misunderstood that Qian Wenhan was pulled over by Wang Yuanguang, the left waiter, thinking that the two had joined forces to get him down, these days, seeing Wen Han was not pleasing to the eye anywhere, and gave him small shoes everywhere, Wen Han pretended to be ignorant, and continued to mislead Hong Guogang, making him worry and worry until Hong Guogang almost collapsed.
On this day, Wen Han was sure that his implementation plan was perfect, and when Hong Guogang retired from the dynasty and came to the official office, he pretended to be panicked and sent an invitation to Hong Guogang: "Lord Hong, there is a restaurant in the humble family, you must also know that there is a batch of new dishes to be launched recently, and the family hopes that I can invite a few people to try it, hehe, I don't know if there is such an honor for the humble lord to patronize the adults?" ”
Hong Guogang said in his heart, do you want to give me a Hongmen banquet? Hmph, it's not qualified enough, I'll look at it, what tricks are you Qian Wenhan going to come up with, thinking about it like this, he didn't even have the idea of refusing, so he agreed in one bite.
According to the agreement, Hong Guogang came to the door of Wen Jin's hotel on time, Wen Han had already stretched out his head, and after waiting for a long time, he put on the posture of some colleagues who were stammering with Shangguan, and welcomed Hong Guogang to the best box on the third floor with a flattering face in a low voice.
"Lord Hong, please be seated!" Then he turned around and asked Xiao Er to serve tea.
"Lord Hong, please come here today, and I have one more thing to ask for." Wenhan gets straight to the point.
Coming, coming, Hong Guogang said secretly in his heart, but his face did not show displeasure, he grinned: "What does Lord Qian have to say?" ”
"Lord Hong, it's all the lowly and inconsiderate that let those young officials make a mess of the household for many years, and the lowly ones have thought about it for a long time, and finally have a rough idea, and ask Lord Hong to check it, don't be reckless like me last time, let the adults suffer." Wen Han said, handing over the written plan.
This is his rough draft, there are still a few hard injuries on it, he deliberately left some space for Hong Guogang, let him revise it, transfer it to the emperor, and give the credit out, as long as the household department can smoothly change the accounting method, this credit will always belong to Qian Wenhan, and he is not afraid that Hong Guogang can take it away.
When Hong Guogang heard this, he felt a little more comfortable, but he still maintained a certain vigilance, afraid that Wen Han was instructed by Wang Yuanguang to dig a pit for himself.
Taking the manuscript in Wen Han's hand and looking at it casually, Hong Guogang's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Set up a school that specializes in teaching finance?" ”
"Well, if the court is unwilling, it can also be opened privately, as long as there are more people, those officials will not be arrogant, the emperor is waiting for the adults to complete this matter, but, those officials dare to disobey the yang and the yin, this is all the trouble brought by the humble position to the adult, the humble duty should be shared by the adult, I thought about it for a long time, and then I had this superficial method, I don't know if it can be implemented?"
Hong Guogang's mind quickly turned a few times, Qian Wenhan's method, if it is well modified, it can still be implemented, and when the time comes, there will definitely be earth-shaking changes in the household department, and the previous shortcomings will definitely be swept away like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
Hmph, who will dare to fight on their own when the time comes? Wang Yuanguang, no matter which one you tie up, the emperor will not touch me.
Hong Guogang was in a happy mood and said secretly: "God help me!" ”
Looking at Wen Han again, he immediately became pleasing to the eye, and felt that he was handsome and elegant, smart and wise, this was simply a ladder given to him by God to get promoted and make a fortune.
Hong Guogang rolled his eyes and said tentatively: "I heard that Mrs. Wang has a great relationship with the monarch's mother, why don't you let him give advice?" ”
"Hehe, Mrs. Wang wants to sell the vegetables, pigs and sheep produced in the Zhuangzi to her father's restaurant, so she has walked around a few times, purely a business relationship, how dare the lower officials entrust the important affairs related to the court to others casually?"
Hong Guogang didn't fully believe what Wen Han said, but he was sure that Wen Han was really showing favor to himself, and his heart settled down: "Lord Qian is dedicated to the country, it's really good, the old man will definitely be there for the emperor and speak well for you." "This is to give Wen Han a sweet date, indicating that he is going to be used as a confidant.
Wen Han saw that things were as he expected, and his mood was also very excited, and he wanted to accompany his boss to have a few cups of wine and food.
Hong Guogang had something on his mind, and he didn't want to drink more, so he pushed back: "Didn't you come to taste your family's new dishes?" After drinking, you can't eat, so let's wait a while. ”
He pondered for a moment: "Without the current officials, even if they cultivate people who are good at finance, it is in vain if they can't read the accounts." ”
Wen Han's answer was waiting there, and he immediately replied: "My lord, this is easy, those officials, don't look at the iron plate now, but it is not without gaps to be found, we will find a few more honest and capable people, write to the emperor, and promote them to officials, don't worry that these people are not used by us, with their guidance, those novices, are you still afraid that you can't read the account books?" ”
"This ......"
"My lord, the local officials have outstanding achievements, and there are also those who have been promoted to the prefect of the county or even the prefect, Lord Lu Canlu has recently been promoted to the Taoist platform of Jiangnan Dongdao, presumably the adults already know, he is a typical example of being promoted without fame and ability, the local can be, why can't the officials of each hall not? It is because they have no channel to rise that they have nothing to do, and they are looking for a way to be corrupt and derelict in their duties. ”
Hong Guogang nodded slightly: "The officials who studied the academic department, just because they didn't understand these low skills, had to be pinched by those small officials, I think, the school you said is very good, and it collects some unqualified people, not only to give them a way to live, but also to make the ministry free of those disgusting cysts." ”
"Your Excellency!" ……
Just two days later, Hong Guo gave Emperor Yongchang a book of 10,000 words, detailing the methods he wanted to implement in the household department, and also raised this matter to the height of promoting the rule of officials.
Emperor Yongchang has just been the emperor for a year, and he is still at the stage of ambition to become the emperor of Kuanggu, and he can't immediately govern the country and prosper. He watched and watched Hong Guogang's recitals, and felt that not only could it be implemented, but it was even possible to achieve great success, and the pattern of the entire imperial court could be changed.
The more outstanding the achievements, the more cautious Emperor Yongchang became, he summoned Prince Ren into the palace and asked Uncle Wang to help check the gates.
Emperor Yongchang read Hong Guogang's recital, thought about it and thought about it, and thought it was very good, he heard about Qian Wenhan's proposal to change the bookkeeping method a while ago, and felt that the idea was very good, but it could not be implemented in the household department, and he was still waiting to see if this young official would compromise and wilt on this, but he didn't want Hong Guogang to give such a powerful set of implementation methods.
Thinking of what his own people reported, Qian Wenhan invited Hong Guogang to a banquet in Taibaiju a few days ago, Prince Ren keenly thought that this method might have been thought up by Qian Wenhan and given to Hong Guogang to make a wedding dress, just to realize his grand ambitions.
This young man is not simple, he knows that only by not being greedy for merit can he make meritorious contributions, and only by not being rash can he move forward. Prince Ren is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and he does not suppress Wen Han everywhere because he opposes his son's marriage to Wen Jin, but agrees with this matter that can promote the prosperity of Jurong.
Emperor Yongchang just asked Uncle Wang to verify that what he thought in his heart was correct, and when he got support, he immediately ordered Hong Guogang to consider it carefully and prepare a report to go up.
Wen Han was ready, and he took out the plan he had been thinking about for half a month and gave it to Hong Guogang.
Hong Guogang combined his own ideas, and discussed with his master and strategists, and felt that it was foolproof, so he gave the emperor a discount. At the court meeting, almost no one objected to Hong Guogang's plan, and it was successfully passed, and his confidence was greatly increased, and he was ready to make a career and establish his lofty position in the imperial court. Hong Guogang got the holy decree agreed to be implemented by the emperor, and first asked Wen Han to find some literati and follow a few missionaries to learn new accounting methods, in fact, those women only taught new counting methods and new calculation methods, and bookkeeping methods, or Qian Wenhan took it out, just because it was concise and easy to understand, it didn't take long for those people to learn.
