Liu Haojia said: "One reason is to send people to Shandong to build a new salt farm, and the other reason is that the current salt farm is big enough, and this salt farm is about to be out of our control, and how much credit we make is to make wedding dresses for others, so we can do this kind of thing!"

Zhang Zhi turned his head to look at the noisy soldiers behind him and said, "Is it because of them? But at this time, according to our family, they can't do anything!"

Liu Haojia smiled and said, "Their hard days are still ahead! They think that they can integrate into the officialdom and rise to the top, but they are afraid that it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky! I'm afraid they've been put on a separate list by the civil servants now!"

Zhang Zhi was also a figure from the battle in the palace, so he naturally knew the situation of these scholars, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "There are a few good seedlings among these people, if that's the case, it's really a pity!"

Liu Haojia said: "Those who can survive in officialdom are good seedlings, and those who can't survive are nothing! So your attitude towards them is business-like! Remember, the most important thing is to see clearly who wants to join the civil service group, and who can figure it out to join us! So the few people you left behind must keep their eyes open!"

The reason why Liu Haojia explained so much to Zhang Zhi was that he wanted to really subdue these scholars. Don't look at how happy they are now, when they officially enter the officialdom, they will find that they are ostracized!

At this time, you will see how a person's heart is! If there is really someone who satisfies Liu Haojia and is willing to vote in his name, he will spare no resources to cultivate him, form a small group among the civil and official groups, and then completely split the civilian and official groups.

And Zhang Zhi's role in it is quite important! He is the future direct subordinate of these scholars, and his attitude towards these scholars must grasp a more delicate balance. That is, while assessing their ability in the work, we cannot protect them, and let them be squeezed out by the blows of officialdom!

But at the same time, we must help them hold their seats, and pull them when they fall into the traps set by other civilian officials, so as not to be squeezed out of the officialdom! This state of affairs will be maintained until they are disheartened and willing to accept Liu Haojia's kindness. This involved a long and delicate operation, but I think it can be done with the skills that Zhang Zhi has cultivated in the palace.

After Liu Haojia arrived in Tianjin, he began to be busy non-stop, met with batches of guests, and conducted a simple combing of the entire industry. Fortunately, Zhang Peijia did a very good job, and there were no problems in this regard.

After he was busy for a few days, when he was resting again after dinner that day, a family member reported that Wu Jifeng was outside asking to see him!

This made him feel very strange, because the time was about to reach the curfew, and Wu Jifeng's attitude towards seeing him at this time was very subtle! But after thinking about it, he decided to meet this man.

When Liu Haojia arrived at the main hall, Wu Jifeng had already been brought in by the family, and when he saw Liu Haojia coming out from behind, he hurriedly got up and stepped forward to salute. Liu Haojia said with a smile, "We are also acquaintances, so we don't need to be so polite!"

However, Wu Jifeng still respectfully performed this salute before he straightened up. His attitude made Liu Haojia confirm his guess! It seems that there are very important things to ask of themselves, otherwise according to the temper of these scholars, you don't need to be rude, they may really stand up straight.

Although Liu Haojia had a guess in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face. He waved his hand casually and said, "It's all acquaintances, sit down."

After speaking, he turned around and sat on the right seat, but when he looked up, he found that Wu Jifeng was still standing there. So he said strangely, "Why don't you sit?"

Wu Jifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hou, it's better for the student to stand!"

Liu Haojia said with a smile: "You and Ben Hou are not acquaintances, and they rushed to Tianjin from Beijing on the same road, so they are acquaintances, why are you so formal? If there's anything to do, sit down and talk about it!"

Wu Jifeng saw that Liu Haojia was sincere, so he arched his hand and turned around and sat down. After he sat down, Liu Haojia asked, "It's almost curfew soon, is there anything wrong with coming here so late?"

At this time, Liu Haojia saw that Wu Jifeng's face was pale and uncertain, and his face was a little distorted, obviously looking undecided. But he didn't rush, and sat quietly waiting for him to make his own decision.

After a while, Wu Jifeng suddenly got up and threw himself to the ground, and said, "This time the students came to ask Master Hou to take them in!"

Liu Haojia's heart moved when he heard this, and it seemed that his initial guess was somewhat accurate. So he immediately got up and helped Wu Jifeng up and said, "You now have an official body, and when you talk to Ben Hou, you have to call yourself a lower official!" In addition, Ben Hou has never had an errand in the salt factory, but he is just a temporary help, so what's the use of you taking refuge in Ben Hou?"

Wu Jifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hou, the words of the lower officials are sincere words, why should Lord Hou lie about it? Xia Guan said that what he meant to take refuge in Hou Ye was literal!"

Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Take refuge in this candidate? That's a lot of fun! You must know that Ben Hou is a female cadre of the Qianjiang River in the eyes of your civil officials, and if you take refuge in Ben Hou, you are not afraid that you will also be labeled as a female cadre?"

Wu Jifeng still smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hou, I'm afraid that the female gan can't take off this hat now, right?"

Liu Haojia couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then asked with a smile, "Since you have such knowledge, how can you make trouble with a group of scholars?"

Wu Jifeng sighed and said, "Master Hou, in fact, it's not that the lower officials have this kind of insight, if the lower officials really have this kind of insight, I'm afraid they won't bother the Hou Ye!" In fact, an elder of the Xiaguan family told me a lot of things, which woke up Xiaguan."

Liu Haojia said in surprise, "Since there is such a wise elder, why don't you listen to him?"

Wu Jifeng clutched his cuffs hard and whispered, "The elders of the lower officials came to Tianjin to do business, and it has been more than a month since they left the Beijing Division! It was only after Xia Guan met with his elders in Tianjin that he said these words to Xia Guan in the past few days, which made Xia Guan understand how far things have come!"

Hearing this, Liu Haojia couldn't stop laughing, and said in his heart that this Wu Jifeng is really unlucky! After he had laughed, he asked, "Looks like you're really unlucky! But if your elder can say these words, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person, right?"
