Chapter 121: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

It's just that what Han Pingzhi didn't expect was that Zhou Ming's consciousness was so high, not only did he not covet wine and food, but he refused his hospitality in one bite, and his mind was all on this case of a traitor in the northern country, for fear that once this case dragged on, it would change in vain, if things really turned out like that, the previous efforts of the two of them would not only be wasted, but also attract heavy punishment from the imperial court.

In fact, Han Pingzhi didn't want to try this case clearly as soon as possible, but he lived to his age, and he had already seen many things very thoroughly, although cracking this case of traitors in the north was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but as the person in charge of this arrest mission, all his thoughts could not only consider this case, but also be thoughtful in terms of human feelings, after all, in order to handle this case, many people under his command were born and died with them, and they paid a lot of hard work.

He proposed to set up a banquet to entertain Zhou Zhou Ming and his party, not only to thank Zhou Zhou Ming for giving him a chance to become an official, but also to treat his subordinates and Zhou Ming's brothers in this way, because although these subordinates are public and private, it is a matter of course to do things for their bosses, but if their bosses don't know how to behave, it will chill the hearts of these people, and the consequences will be very serious.

Even if they do not have the strength to openly confront their superiors, let alone complain, if these grievances accumulate more and more and have no outlet for catharsis, these people will be evil in private.

In the days to come, if Han Pingzhi still sends these people to do things for him, these people will definitely be lazy and slack in secret, and even take the initiative to sabotage their tasks in order to take revenge on their bosses, once such a thing occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Because as the boss of these people, even if they are clear, it is difficult to find out these crimes they have committed, the reason here is very simple, as long as they dare to take revenge on their bosses, it must be carried out by everyone, and when the time comes, they are a community of interests, the so-called grasshoppers on a rope, and it is more difficult to find evidence of their bad behavior in this case than to ascend to the sky.

If you encounter a boss with mediocre qualifications and a not very good head, as long as these subordinates use a little tricks when handling the case and make some unjust, false and wrongful cases, then the boss will definitely become a scapegoat, be punished by the imperial court for a felony, exiled to the border, and even sentenced to death.

Even if a person like Han Pingzhi is extraordinary and extremely intelligent, if he really encounters such a situation, he can only ruthlessly disband all these people under him, break up their interest alliance, and then recruit a group of new henchmen.

But to do this, the price to pay is also very large, after all, these subordinates can follow their own side, they must have been tested, and their strength is also recognized by themselves, the most important point is that they are all people they can trust, once these people are dismissed, it is not easy to recruit a new batch.

Because the people who are re-recruited have to be tested again, the energy and time spent in this are incalculable, Han Pingzhi is over forty years old at this time, this age, in the officialdom, is the last chance to climb up, if he misses this age, no matter how capable he is, it is impossible to get promoted again, unless there is a noble person to help.

Now with the help of Zhou Ming, Han Pingzhi easily encountered a good opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, as long as he successfully concludes this case, the imperial court will naturally attach great importance to him, at such a critical moment, he will never allow anything to interfere with him, even in the face of dangers that have not yet happened in the future, he must not be careless.

And he also knows a truth, whether the official position can be done for a long time, ability is one thing, connections are one thing, these two aspects are indispensable, and the other important ability is also indispensable, that is, the ability to win the hearts of your subordinates, no matter how high your official position is, if there is no one under your hands who really does things for yourself, your orders will be the same as farts, not only can they not be seriously implemented, but sometimes they will bring huge disasters to themselves.

So after Zhou Ming rejected his kindness, Han Ping admired him very much on the one hand, and felt that he was too young on the other hand, and he still didn't know anything about many unspoken rules in officialdom, if he continued to be so naïve, the future road would be very difficult.

"That's a good point." Han Pingzhi first affirmed what Zhou Zhou Ming said, and then immediately walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, your mastery is really too high, I have been in the officialdom for many years, it seems that I can't compare to you!" ”

Originally, I heard Han Pingzhi say that he would set up a banquet to entertain everyone, and all the errand people present were full of joy, because after last night's hard work, these errand people were all physically and mentally exhausted, and everyone wanted to eat and drink, and then go home to relax.

Everyone was happy, they all felt that Han Pingzhi's boss was really good, he could not only preside over the overall situation at a critical moment, catch all the spies in the northern country, but also sympathize with his subordinates, after a long night, not only did he not force his subordinates to continue to handle the case, but was ready to treat everyone at a critical moment, which is really a rare good boss.

The officials who were already on errands in the Yamen of the General Affairs Office usually love Han Pingzhi very much, and seeing him feel so sorry for their subordinates at this time, these people are even more grateful to him, and each of them has made up their minds in their hearts that no matter where Han Pingzhi goes to be an official in the future, they will swear to accompany each other to the death.

And those officials who came to inspect the yamen in the south of the city with Zhou Ming, when they saw Han Pingzhi so sympathetic to their subordinates, they were all envious to death, because they compared Han Pingzhi with their boss, and found that their boss Deng Tong was simply not a person, this kid not only didn't know how to sympathize with their subordinates, but oppressed them everywhere, usually their Yulu was already less than dying, and they had to take out a part of it every month to honor him.

If something happens in the yamen, you want to invite guests to dinner, Deng Tong, this kid never pays, they all eat and drink for nothing, originally their subordinates hated his behavior, and now they have Han Pingzhi as the object of comparison, which makes them feel even more that they are not as good as animals under Deng Tong's hands.

They were all thinking in their hearts that if they had the opportunity to go to Han Pingzhi's men one day, they would do it for a few fewer years.

But they also know in their hearts that as the little officials who inspect the yamen in the south of the city, it is difficult for them to have this kind of opportunity, after all, the yamen of the General Affairs Office is their top superior, and the people who want to enter this yamen are about to break their heads, and if you don't have a background and connections, you can't get in at all.

At the same time, everyone looked at Zhou Ming for a while, everyone hoped that he could become the leader of the Chengnan Inspection Yamen as soon as possible, and then rescue them from the dire situation, after all, they could feel from the days they got along with Zhou Ming, Zhou Zhou Ming and Deng Tong are completely different, he is not only capable, but also kind to others, as long as he can be the leader of the Chengnan Inspection Yamen, they will have hope.

Just when the errand people present were happy to be able to eat and drink, Zhou Zhou Ming very decisively rejected Han Pingzhi's kindness, this kind of untimely behavior was like pouring a basin of cold water on everyone's heads, everyone was disappointed, they were all dissatisfied with Zhou Ming, thinking that he was too ignorant of the rules, a young little head catcher, with luck to solve two big cases, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, Lord Han invited him to dinner, not only for everyone's welfare, but also to give him face, as a result, this kid actually didn't know what to do, and dared to openly refuse.

The officials who inspected the yamen in the south of the city were also surprised when they saw Zhou Zhouming's performance, they all muttered secretly in their hearts, Zhou Zhutou was too eyeless, and it was a great thing for Lord Han to invite everyone to dinner, why did he have to go against the sky and sweep everyone's happiness?

Could it be that he and Deng Tong are all the way? is also a stingy ghost, the reason why he openly rejected Lord Han's kindness was because he was afraid that his subordinates would get benefits?

Although these officials tried their best to control the negative emotions in their hearts, their faces still showed some dissatisfaction, and they were all worried about their future days in the Chengnan Inspection Yamen, because if Zhou Zhou Ming was also a villain who forgot his righteousness and was greedy for money, even if he became the leader of the Chengnan Inspection Yamen, they would not have a good life.

While the officials present were disheartened, they pinned their last hopes on Han Pingzhi, hoping that he would still insist on entertaining everyone after Zhou Yiming refused, after all, his official position was much higher than that of Zhou Yiming, as long as he spoke with a tougher attitude, Zhou Yiming would not dare to openly confront him.

But what everyone didn't expect was that instead of insisting on his opinion, Han Pingzhi praised Zhou Ming vigorously after opening his mouth, as if he was the one who made the mistake just now, which made everyone puzzled, everyone didn't understand, why Han Pingzhi was so important to Zhou Ming, this kid is simply a Leng Touqing, he doesn't understand the world at all, even if he has great ability, it is difficult for him to become a big climate.

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong saw the opportunity to eat and drink fly away from their eyes, their hearts were like knives, and at the same time, they were extremely disappointed in their hearts, and they didn't dare to be half dissatisfied with Zhou Ming, because both of them knew in their hearts that Zhou Ming's eyes could see through people's hearts, as long as they had the slightest distraction in their hearts, they would definitely be caught by him.
