"Shang Chao—"

On the second day, the Fengtian Temple went to court as usual.

Li Xiao is still standing next to the dragon chair, standing with his hands in his hands, and his temperament is indifferent.

Officials entered one after another from outside the hall and greeted in unison.

"See the National Teacher."

Obviously, there are more officials here today than there were yesterday.

Li Xiao on the stage smiled slightly and quipped: "Yo, it's a good day, it seems that everyone's illness is almost better." ”

There was some mockery, and no one answered from the people below, all of them lowered their heads.

According to the usual practice, the eunuch took out the roster and began to count it.

Most of the officials are used to it, and they don't need to do anything.

"The Ministry of Officials is still righteous."

"The minister is here."

"Li Xiang, the left attendant of the ministry."

"The minister is here."

"Zhang Yu, the right attendant of the ministry."

"The minister is here."

"Officials."

The point is still boring, and it will be pointed out inside and outside the hall, and the hall is above the fourth grade, and the outside of the hall is the Beijing official below the fourth grade.

As time passed, the name was pronounced on Yu Shi, who was standing outside the temple.

"The head of the household is thin and practical."

When I read this name, there were two people's ears pricked up, namely Zhao Jingkun, the head of the household, and Ke Ren, the head of the household.

"The minister is here!"

A loud shout came from outside the hall, which was Yu Shi's voice.

Immediately, Zhao Jingkun and Ke Ren's eyelids jumped, and they were both shocked.

Yu Shi is still alive?

Isn't he dead?

Especially Zhao Jingkun, who was the dead soldier he sent out.

Oh no, no, the dead soldiers sent out last night didn't come back

Could it be that the national teacher sent someone to protect it?

If so, wouldn't it be a revelation!

No, things don't come to light.

The dead were mute and couldn't expose themselves at all.

Then you must keep calm now, this is deliberate by the national teacher.

He should be watching our every move!

Thinking of this, Zhao Jingkun was silent, his eyes looked straight ahead, but he secretly looked at the national teacher Li Xiao on the stage.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it really scares him a lot, and his hair stands on end!

The national teacher was staring at him with squinting eyes, smiling slightly, very terrifying!

Is it being seen?

Impossible, there are so many officials in the family, why does he think it's me?

As long as I keep my composure, I should be fine!

The national teacher doesn't know who it is, he's cheating on me!

The more this time, the more calm you have to be

For a while, Zhao Jingkun was preoccupied, but he pretended to be calm.

However, no matter how you cover it up, you can't escape Li Xiao's sharp eyes.

"It turned out to be these two old guys, it was Zhao Jingkun, the secretary of the military department, who sent the dead soldiers, and Ke Ren, the secretary of the household department, didn't know about the dead soldiers, but it was the address he revealed."

"The two have discussed, so in this way, the family is the one who opposes me at the head of the imperial court, it should be this Zhao Jingkun."

At this time, Li Xiao had already figured out all the reasons for the matter by relying on his 'heart understanding'.

As an emperor, what he is most afraid of is that his courtiers are fighting below.

The emperor also did not understand what they had done and what was going on in their hearts.

And Li Xiao can rely on his heart to easily know what others think.

That's why his men are loyal to him, because those who are not loyal are kicked

It took an hour to finish.

Just when everyone thought they were going to retreat from the dynasty.

Li Xiao's eyes looked at Zhao Jingkun and Ke Ren, and said with a smile: "Zhao Shangshu, Ke Shangshu, you two seem to be a little impatient, do you think it's a waste of time to order here every day?" ”

The two of them already had ghosts in their hearts, and they were suddenly accosted, and they were shocked.

I didn't know how to answer for a while.

However, Zhao Jingkun's psychological quality was slightly better, he kept calm, and opened the topic: "Master Guoshi, to be honest, this point is indeed a bit of a waste of time, every inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time." ”

After speaking, he looked at the main hall and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, is it a waste of time for us to spend our time on this meaningless thing all day?" ”

When the words fell, those officials led by Zhao Jingkun responded one after another.

"yes, we've been here all day, it's a bit of a waste of time."

"That's right, I woke up so early in the morning, I couldn't sleep well, and I was listless all day long."

"Time is the most precious thing, we should use the limited time for unlimited things."

All in all, everyone used the theory that the previous dynasty was useless to fight for the abolition of the previous dynasty.

Li Xiao smiled slightly: "Who said it was useless?" The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning. Wouldn't it be beautiful to get up early and walk to this Fengtian Temple, and the body has also been exercised, the body has been strengthened, the sweat has also come out, and the detoxification and beauty have been maintained. So the next day, it's all about being full of energy and better for today's work, isn't it? ”

"Yes, what the national teacher said is right."

Someone immediately responded to the peace, and the people who responded to the peace were obviously those officials who were wooed by Li Xiao, although Li Xiao only attracted eight people, but at the same time, he also had a good impression of many people.

"Yes, I also think that when I get up in the morning and walk to Fengtian Temple, half a month has passed, walking around every day, going back and forth for more than ten miles, and my body is tough."

"We sit all day, after a long time, the bones of this body are stiffened, the national teacher is really good-hearted, specially let us find a chance to exercise."

"The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the spring, so to put it well, get up early in the morning, go to bed early at night, go to bed early and get up early, and life is regular."

These officials who have been favored by Li Xiao also changed their ways to praise.

This made Zhao Jingqian feel a sense of crisis, it had only been half a month, and someone in the court had already spoken to Li Xiao, and this Li Xiao was really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Well, that's a good point!"

Someone in the court speaks for himself, then it will be easy to do, Li Xiao laughed: "If you can think of this, it seems that it is not in vain the good intentions of the national division, the national division has decided to award a full attendance award in the imperial court, and those who arrive in the court every month will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver." ”

As soon as this statement came out,

The eyes of the poor-born officials in the audience lit up.

Twenty taels is not a small amount!

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao re-established the system of giving Lu Cheng the year of the civil and military officials inside and outside, and the monthly salary of the three products was 35 stones, which was converted into silver and was 18 taels of silver.

This kind of Yulu mechanism is still practiced in Nanjing.

Twenty taels is equal to one month's salary.

In this way, when the difference of one month is equal to two months.

As long as you are not absent, working for one year is equal to working for two years!

And those officials who have a monthly salary of less than 20 taels are even more smiling from ear to ear.

"I'll wait, thank you!"

Those officials knelt down to thank them, and Zhao Jingkun and his party had to bow down, otherwise they would be dissatisfied and oppose other officials.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Get up, since the national division is here, how can you make everyone suffer?" Now that the imperial treasury is abundant, everyone's life will only get better and better in the future, and this is just the beginning. ”

In fact, Li Xiao originally wanted to come to Nanjing to implement Beijing's policy of taking a vacation and vacation.

Now this perfect attendance award is just a different way to give them the money that should have been given to them.

The sweetness behind will be slowly given to win people's hearts.

These words fell on the ears of the officials, and they were overjoyed.

They have long known that Beiping is well treated, and they are envious.

If the national teacher can let them enjoy the treatment of the officials of the Beiping court, it would be really good, the treatment will be doubled, and then the future will be comfortable!

At this time, Li Xiao's eyes looked at Zhao Jingkun and Ke Ren again, and said, "Two Shangshu, do you still think that this is useless?" ”

The two of them had ghosts in their hearts, so they didn't dare to say more, so they had to bow down and respond.

"That's right."

Li Xiao suddenly changed his words and said: "These days, the national division has been inspecting the work of various yamen, and found that some people are fishing in troubled waters, and some people are very conscientious. ”

Zhao Jingkun and Ke Ren, the two nodded, "Yes, what the national teacher said is very true." ”

They sent killers yesterday, but they returned in vain, and at this time they have ghosts in their hearts, and they dare not refute many things.

I just want to finish it as soon as possible this morning, so that I can go back and discuss this matter.

However, Li Xiao would not let them go so easily.

Strike while the iron is hot.

"Oh, since the two Shangshu approve it, it's easy to say."

Li Xiao looked at Jian Yi of the Ministry of Officials again, and said: "Jian Shangshu, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials, you can tell me, if the national division examines the work, there are officials who are obviously very capable, but they are not reused, for the sake of the imperial court, can the national division promote them slightly?" ”

The official secretary Shangshu Jian Yi arched his hand and said: "Yu Guoshi, you hold the sword of Shang Fang in your hand, and you are the supreme commander of the Reform and Reform Department, and you have the right to appoint and dismiss officials, so it is naturally possible." ”

Li Xiao smiled slightly, then looked at the officials below and said, "No one will object, right?" ”

The officials who have just obtained the benefits will naturally not object, and a third-grade official with a larger official position arched his hand and said: "The national teacher has a good eye, it is Bole, Bole chooses thousands of horses, and selects talents for the country, and we have no opinion." ”

Then, Li Xiao's gaze surrendered again to Zhao Jingkun, the secretary of the military department, and Ke Ren, the secretary of the household department, and said with a smile: "What do the two scholars think?" ”

Why did this national teacher stare at us, and the two of them were shocked again.

Especially the Hubu Shangshu Keren, like a frightened bird, before Zhao Jingkun next to him could refute, he took the lead in softening and said: "The national teacher is the supreme commander, holding the sword of Shang Fang, so we naturally have no opinion." ”

"Okay, since the head of the household has spoken, then the national teacher has something to say."

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Fang Cai Zhao Shangshu said that there is nothing to do in the morning every day, isn't this today's thing, the national division inspected the yamen today, and found a group of malleable talents Shen Mingzhu dust, the national division wants to pay the most attention to talents, see that there are talents can not be reused, heartbroken, today the national division will be selected for the country." ”

After saying that, he took out a document from his body and handed it to the official Shangshu Jianyi, and said: "Jian Shangshu, at this time, the official appointment and dismissal candidates decided by the national division, please take a look." ”

The official Shangshu Jianyi took the document, and after reading it, he said: "The national teacher has a discerning eye, these people do have some talents, and they can be reused. The lower officials will take it back to the ministry to study and draw it up. ”

"No, why bother."

Li Xiao said: "Everyone is here today, so it's better to raise your hand and vote on this hall." Jian Shangshu, you will read out the details of the appointment and dismissal, and see the opinions of the big guys. ”

Jian Yi nodded, unfolded the paperwork, and said loudly:

"Bo Xu Sancheng, the head of the military department, was promoted to Langzhong of the military department and transferred to the headquarters department, in charge of the assessment of military officials, job promotion, inheritance and other affairs, and managed the Tu Division."

"Bo Yushi, the head of the household department, was promoted to the household department Langzhong, and was transferred to the household department, in charge of household registration, soil fields, servitude, contributions, exemptions, preferential resumption, marriage, and heirs."

"Bo Beiliao, the head of the Ministry of Works, was promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, and transferred to"

"The head of the Ministry of Rites, Bo Wang Hammer, was promoted to the Ministry of Rites Langzhong, and transferred to"

“.”

For a time, Li Xiao directly placed the eight people he had recruited into important positions in the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although the official position was not large, but it was indeed an important department.

After reading it, Li Xiao said: "Okay, now everyone votes, if you have any opinions, please raise your hand to speak." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, what kind of operation is this?

For a while, everyone didn't react.

Li Xiao waited for a while and quickly spoke: "Okay, no one raised their hands, everyone has no opinion, and it was unanimously approved, and this matter is decided." ”

Baiguan: "???? ”

As soon as Keren, the head of the household department, heard that something was wrong, this Yu Shi was placed in the core department in a blink of an eye, in charge of the household department, is this worth it?

His mouth opened slightly, just about to retort.

Li Xiao took the lead in attacking, looked at Ke Ren with a sharp expression, and said in a deep voice: "What? Ke Shangshu, you seem to have something to say? What did the national teacher say, the pearl is covered with dust, talented people in this officialdom are not allowed to be reused, and people with intentions are wantonly suppressed, Ke Shangshu, you should not be the 'troublemaker', right? ”

Li Xiao's words "the person who is troubled" bite very hard.

Ke Ren was frightened all of a sudden, he discussed with Zhao Jingkun last night to murder the imperial court officials, and today Li Xiao's eyes kept looking this way.

If you have a ghost in your heart, how can you not panic?

"Xiaguan. There is no point in the lower officials, the neck is itchy, and the national teacher has misunderstood." Ke Ren was stunned at once.

"Oh, then it's fine, good officer, good officer, haha."

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, retreat from the dynasty!" ”

After speaking, he got up directly, turned around and left, not giving everyone a chance to react.

It's called lightning speed.

The eunuch shouted: "Retreat!" ”

"Congratulations to the national teacher!"

The hundred officials bowed and shouted in unison, and then retreated.

After the retreat from the dynasty.

On the way, Zhao Jingkun was angry, pulled Ke Ren, the head of the household department, and scolded in a low voice: "Ke Shangshu, you are confused, how can you agree that Yu Shi has been placed in the household department, and the rest of the departments are okay, the household department is in charge of all land taxes in Nanjing, and the fish scales are made up, if Li Xiao finds fault with it, it will be a big mistake." ”

Hearing this, Ke Ren retorted: "You are still embarrassed to say that I am, yesterday I said that this plan is not appropriate, you have to say that you use that treacherous trick, you said that the good dead man is foolproof, what is the result?" That's still alive! The national teacher was in the morning, and his eyes kept looking at the two of us. I'm afraid the matter has been revealed! ”

Zhao Jingkun scolded: "Fart, what is exposed, then Li Xiao is obviously bluffing us, even if the dead soldier I sent out is dead, it will not implicate us, how can it be exposed." It's that you had already agreed when you discussed with me at the beginning, but now that something happened, you panicked like this, you were fierce and timid, and Li Xiao took advantage of it and let him succeed. ”

Ke Ren said helplessly: "Now that the matter has come to this, it's no different to say more, what should I do next?" ”

Zhao Jingkun said: "If you master the Department of Households, you can clearly grasp the ownership of the land, such as your Ke family, the land in the entire family has five or six hundred thousand mu, which is scattered in the hands of many people, except for tax exemption, you can't see that these lands are actually your Ke family." But if you have a fish scale book, and then you go to the field to look at it, you will find that the land is in pieces, neatly connected together, and you can find the cat. We've got it all figured out. ”

Ke Ren said: "That's true, it's really not possible, you can send some dead soldiers over?" ”

Zhao Jingkun said helplessly: "Where did so many dead soldiers come from, it's really not good, you"

He lowered his voice and whispered, "Go and burn the case vault." ”

"Crazy!" Ke Ren said: "The case library was burned, and I, the Shangshu, will not escape the blame, and I will definitely die!" ”

Zhao Jingkun said: "Find a substitute for the dead lamb." ”

Ke Ren said: "It's not proper, if you do this, I'm afraid I'll be a lamb to death!" ”

Zhao Jingkun thought about it, this move was indeed a little inappropriate, the national teacher inserted people in the front foot, and the back foot case library was burned, which was a bit blatant.

He was silent for a long time, and then said: "Okay, let's not discuss this matter for the time being, and then discuss it at this time, you can continue to win over Yu Shi first."

Ke Ren nodded: "This can only be done first."

A week later.

Nancheng Barracks, School Grounds.

The talents are running, and it has been a month since they came to Nanjing, and their bodies have been recuperating after a month of eating, drinking, and recuperation.

My courage has also been greatly improved, whether I am sleeping on the grave or sleeping with a paper figure, I am not afraid now.

Some people even sleep at night with two paper figures in their arms at one time.

One is fat and the other is thin, and it is said that it is flying with wings

At this time, Li Xiao and Li Jinglong were watching these talents on the field.

Li Jinglong watched and chatted casually: "The national teacher is powerful, he is vigorous and resolute, if he does not move, he will do the harm, and he will attract eight officials to occupy important positions in various ministries at one time, even if he has a group of people, it will be much easier for us to do things next." The most important thing is that this move undoubtedly tells many other officials that as long as they follow behind your national teacher, they will get a lot of benefits, and everyone is willing to get close to you. ”

Li Xiao nodded slightly: "Xie Jinglong praises it." ”

Li Jinglong laughed, and said with a little doubt: "However, since the national teacher has attracted some people, but in the next time, the wind and waves have calmed down again, and there is no movement, this is not for those thieves to think about countermeasures, why is this, why not go all at once?" ”

Li Xiao said indifferently: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, we have to sharpen the knife used for beheading first, and polish the sharpness before shooting." ”

"Sharpening the knife"

Li Jinglong was slightly stunned, then looked at Li Xiao, followed Li Xiao's gaze, and then looked at the talents, and said: "The national teacher is saying that he will continue to polish these talents, and these talents are the knives of the national teacher?" ”

Li Xiao nodded and said: "That's right, this is the most important thing, after all, no matter how capable I am, I only have one pair of hands, as the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and three stinkers have a Zhuge Liang, I am willing to spend time polishing my subordinates, and I don't want to do everything myself." Because the power of the individual is limited, the power of the group is infinite! ”

This.

Li Jinglong was shocked.

The ability of the individual is limited, and the power of the group is infinite.

Suddenly he realized something!

In Nanjing, Li Xiao was hiding from people's eyes and ears, or hiding from the world, scattering spies to find out the news, or secretly protecting officials.

This series of things is not done by him, it is all done by his subordinates.

Even himself, he is also working for the national teacher.

The national teacher seems to be constantly cultivating himself.

Got it, got it. This is the charm of the national teacher!

Cultivate a group of capable people to use him, and be invincible!!

"National teacher, I've come to my senses!" Li Jinglong's expression was shocked.

Li Xiao patted Li Jinglong's shoulder, "It's good to be enlightened." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the school yard and shouted, "Assemble! ”

When the words fell, the talents stopped one after another, and immediately gathered, waiting for Li Xiaoxun's words with a look of anticipation.

Li Jinglong suddenly realized after watching it, it turned out that he didn't know when, unconsciously, these talents have become Li Xiao's people, even if they become officials in the future, they are also loyal to Li Xiao's officials, where the appeal lies!

Li Xiaolang said: "Let's talk about it, if you encounter unfair things and unreasonable people, how should you deal with them?" ”

The talents shouted: "Impress them with etiquette, restrain them with law, and influence them with virtue and talent"

Li Xiao laughed, "Wrong, big mistake!" ”

The talents wondered, "Why? ”

Li Xiao said: "Xiucai meets a soldier, it is unreasonable, when others don't reason with you, your etiquette, law, and virtue are all burdensome, at this time, what should I do?" ”

When the words fell, the group of talents looked at each other.

Li Xiao said loudly: "At this time, you have to use your fists to let them reason." ”

After speaking, Li Xiao pointed to the soldiers of Cixiwei on the other side and said: "Today is just right, a rare encounter in a thousand years, on one side is Xiucai, and on the other side is soldiers." Xiucai meets a soldier, what should I do if I can't explain it reasonably? I can only use my fists to say, you will fight with them today, and whichever side wins, your own division will be rewarded! ”

The voice fell.

The talents were stunned.

What's the situation, let them fight with those rough guys?

Isn't that going to kill you?

And the group of Cixiwei soldiers were smiling.

This Nima, the national teacher is really a good person.

Isn't that giving money?
