Xu Jie felt that Xu Qian was a little strange today, and he didn't know if he was deliberately joking or implying something, since he couldn't figure out this guy, he simply said a few beautiful words and casually talked nonsense.

Xu Qian said: "I heard that Brother Xu is a disciple of Mr. Nie Bao Nie, and he has heard of Mr. Nie's name for a long time and is well-known, but now it seems that Brother Xu's current achievements are afraid that they will be above the Lingshi, which is really gratifying." ”

Xu Jie had a sad face, and said: "Xu Shi read and laughed, there is no one left and right today, to tell the truth, Xu does not want to go to Zhan Shifu, the current court is an eventful autumn, and Xu has neither foundation nor background, but steals such a position, this is the way to take trouble, rather than this, it is better to follow the example of the teacher and release as the parents of a county and a government, and do something within his ability." ”

This is Xu Jie's honesty, he followed Nie Bao to learn psychology, he was not the crazy student who was only keen on fame in the past, in the past, he only knew that the bigger the official, the better, but now he knows that the official naturally has to do, but to be an official, you must have the art of being an official, he has long smelled that this seemingly calm court is brewing a storm, the more noble he is now, he will inevitably be co-opted, but if he refuses to comply, he will be ostracized, once he is willing to be a pawn for others, he may end up ruined.

Because of this, Xu Jie chose Dali Temple, the noble Hanlin asked to go to Dali Temple to serve, this kind of person is really rare, but he has to go, since he is willing to move his position out, people can't ask for it.

It's just that God made a big joke on Xu Jie, who had just arrived at this inconspicuous Dali Temple, but inexplicably made a 'great contribution', and then was directly transferred to Zhan Shifu. Zhan Shifu is a hot place, I am afraid that as soon as he enters the Beijing Division, there will be few people to recruit, and win-win cooperation is a shortcut to being an official. Xu Jie doesn't mind cooperating with others, but the problem is that the current situation is not clear, so it is extremely irrational to rush to cooperate with others.

Xu Qian glanced at Xu Jie. I think Xu Jie is really a bit smart, in fact, the key to smart people in this world is not what you do, but what choices you make according to your situation. Just like Xu Qian's brother-in-law Gui Cao, he decided to speculate on Jiajing because his background was not good, and if he wanted to reach the top in one fell swoop, he had to gamble big, and Gui Cao was a smart person because of his investment. Sooner or later, good gains will be received.

And on the other hand. For Xu Jie. It's obviously not a good thing to let him stand in line now, he is from Tanhua, with his qualifications. Sooner or later, we will have to be in high positions, and all that is lacking now is time. Since you can wait until the day you enter the cabinet, why bother to gamble with others? It's better to watch from the wall, and wait for others to lose both before making a shining debut.

Therefore, Gui Cao's speculation is Gui Cao's best choice, and in the same way, Xu Jie's avoidance of trouble is also his old and serious side.

Xu Qian's heart moved: "Since Brother Xu refuses to go to Zhan Shifu, why don't you resign?" ”

Xu Jie smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to resign, why don't you still go back to Dali Temple?" ”

Xu Qian shook his head and said, "I know a place to go, why don't you implore the imperial court to keep you in Tianjin?" At present, there is a vacancy in the deputy envoy of Tianjin's military preparation road, and I am afraid that the imperial court is also very embarrassed at the moment, and now that something like this has happened in Tianjin, who is willing to come here to take office? If Brother Xu wrote at this time, he would say that after Tianjin Wei was disrupted by Jiang Xin, he was already in ruins, and Brother Xu invited himself to prepare the deputy envoy of the army to share the worries of the court. In this way, the court will definitely allow it, that is, Your Majesty, I am afraid that you also think that you know the general situation and are willing to worry about the king. Moreover, this Tianjin is not far from the Beijing Division, Brother Xu can avoid trouble, and he can pay attention to the dynamics of the Beijing Division at any time, and he can attack and retreat and defend, that is, this deputy envoy of the military preparation road, he belongs to the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is from the fourth grade of the Eight Classics, and with Brother Xu's qualifications, I am afraid that it is not enough to preside over the affairs of Tianjin Guard, but now this opportunity is just for you to have the qualifications to enter the fourth grade from the Zhan Shifu Yude from the fifth grade, what does Brother Xu think? ”

Xu Qian's words woke up the person in the dream, Xu Jie suddenly understood something, and said: "Listening to Xu Shiyu's words, there is something to be done, but I am afraid that the court will not allow it." ”

Xu Qian sneered: "Don't you still understand? Now no one is willing to come to Tianjin Wei, here is not only unlucky, the most important thing is too right and wrong, there is no good candidate in the imperial court, you are willing to recommend yourself, hit it off, and it will be successful. ”

Xu Jie's spirit was vibrant: "That is the case, thank you Xu for the reminder, and the foolish brother will go to the book later." ”

Xu Qian smiled slightly: "Naturally, the sooner the better, yes, I'm going to Beitang in a few days, Brother Xu is fine, why don't you go shopping with me?" ”

Beitang?

Xu Jie couldn't help but wonder, when he came to Tianjin, he knew a little about Tianjin, that Beitang is a barren land, it is said that there are not even a few people, and it is not a scenic spot, what are you going to do there? It's just that Xu Qian was kindly invited, but he couldn't refuse, and said, "Okay, I'll go out with Xu Shi tomorrow." ”

He thought it was a trip, where did he know that people were pulling him on the thief ship, it can be seen that some people will not expect that there will be a black hand in the black even if they are scheming, this Xu Qian is a prodigy who has been calculating and tireless, focusing on black people for a hundred years, and people have already dug a pit waiting for him.

Xu Qian sent Xu Jieli out with a smile, just sat down comfortably, and before he drank tea, Deng Jianlai flashed out of the ear room, Deng Jian smiled and said: "Go to Beitang tomorrow, what are you going to do in Beitang?" ”

Deng Jian is now promoted and rich, so he is naturally happy in his heart, and now he can be regarded as an official with an official hall, but his sea route to pacify the Si Yamen is still being prepared, so he is not in a hurry to go to the post, and he stays here every day to accompany Xu Qian and fight with Xu Qian.

Xu Qian said with a smile: "He will definitely be the new deputy envoy of the Tianjin Guards in the future, since he is the deputy envoy of the military preparation, you and my brother naturally have to take care of many layouts in Tianjin, so I will take him on the thief ship first." ”

The layout that Xu Qian said is that the sea route pacification envoy Si Yamen is about to build more than a dozen large ships, since you want to build a ship, you must have a dock, and there must be personnel, in addition, there is naturally Xu Qian's big workshop, although this workshop is not offended, and I am not afraid that someone will cause trouble, but the problem is, if there are local officials to escort it, wouldn't it be better? If there is any difficulty in the workshop in the future, at least someone will have to take care of it.

What's more, Ruyifang also plans to open a new store on the edge of the workshop, and there is a joint venture between the businessmen and the merchants who plan to build a road from Beitang to Tanggu, the canal, and Tianjin City, which is not enough, the most important thing is to rebuild the Tanggu port, and the current port of Tanggu can not park big ships, mainly because many facilities are in disrepair, and now the sea route pacification envoy is building this port in the name of going to sea to inspect the sea route, and naturally needs someone to support.

The reason why Xu Qian instigated Xu Jie to stay, naturally he had his intentions, and he chose Xu Jie, because Xu Jie is a person who learns the heart, and the biggest advantage of a person who learns the heart is that he can apply what he has learned, at least not rigidly, and it is easier to accept new things, so that he can prepare for the road, and in the future, Xu Qian will tinker with things in Tianjin, at least there will be a lot of convenience.

Of course, whether it is convenient or not depends on whether tomorrow's brainwashing is successful, Xu Qian knows that this person's subjective consciousness is the most likely to affect people's behavior and thoughts, so whether the layout of the Xu family in Tianjin is successful or not depends on tomorrow.

Tianjin Wei is a good place, its geographical location is not far behind the south of the Yangtze River, here is not only by the sea, but also the hub of the canal, although it is close to Beijing, but it belongs to a blank, the gentry here is not as deep-rooted as Jiangnan, and even the root is not the gentry at all, Xu Qian wants to cultivate and strengthen his own strength, the address is the most suitable here.

Deng Jian listened, but also became serious, he is not the guy who didn't understand anything a few years ago, the Xu family's prosperity is in full swing, relying on more than just the holy grace, now, relying mainly on newspapers, Ruyi Fang, the Royal Academy, and even the future sea route pacification envoy to support, these things are all new things without exception, many new things in Beijing is not the best choice, because the closer to the political center, the greater the resistance, he roughly understands Xu Qian's mind, Xu Qian is consciously including Tianjin into the scope of the Xu family, Influence and penetration from all sides.

This is a new thing that is in the seedling stage, and naturally needs a confidant to help take care of it, and this person is Xu Jie.

As for a few years later, Xu Jie's resignation is not afraid, because in the past few years, these new things will definitely develop and grow, and their development, along with the prominence of the Xu family, has really become a deep-rooted force in the court.

Deng Jian said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will also go with me and accompany this Lord Xu to take a walk." ”

Xu Qian glanced at him: "People are from Hanlin, and they hate rough people the most, what are you going to make a mess, stay here honestly, yes, let you go to the book to build a ship, are your books ready?" ”

Deng Jian smiled bitterly: "I have been biting the pen and sitting for a day, and I have no clue, Brother Xu, please help ghostwrite." ”

Xu Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I am a ghostwriter, Your Majesty will definitely know that this is my idea, in fact, it is good to write it yourself, no matter whether the writing is good or not, at least it is to sue sùmajesty, you are not cheating, the emperor hates being fooled the most, you can not be fooled, but you can't be cheating, understand?" ”

Deng Jian couldn't help but speak: "Emperor Lao Tzu actually has a temper with someone Deng, and someone Deng is also the person who hates fraud the most, when he went out for a stroll yesterday, a black-hearted businessman wanted to take a handful of broken copper and iron to fool Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu directly gave him more than a dozen ear scrapers!" ”

Xu Qian shook his head secretly, is this considered a gangster and difficult to change?
