Jianyi Mansion.

The host Jian Yi took the lead in speaking: "The national policy of this migration is led by Shilang, co-organized by the directors of various ministries, Langzhong, and the cabinet, supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and as for the factory and health ...... That's not for us to decide, what do you think? ”

"Shang Shu Gao Jian."

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has no opinion."

"The cabinet has an opinion." Yang Shiqi took the lead in opposing it, and Yang Rong and others agreed.

Jian Yi was a little impatient: "What do you think?" ”

"The emperor said that this time it will be handled by the cabinet and the six ministries, and the cabinet is also qualified to be the foreman!" Yang Rong threatened, "Could it be that Jian Shangshu dares not to listen to the emperor's words?" ”

There is no way, the status of the cabinet is too low, and it is impossible to talk about it without pulling the emperor.

"The emperor said so, but the emperor didn't say that the cabinet has the same functions and powers as the six ministries!" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said, "What are our identities, what are your identities?"

Do you really think that if you are with the emperor all day, you can be a fox and a tiger? ”

"Even if you don't weigh your own pounds and taels." The servant sneered.

Yang Shiqi glared at Jian Yi angrily, "Jian Shangshu, that's how you manage your subordinates?" ”

"How this official manages his subordinates, he doesn't need you to dictate." Jian Yi picked up the teacup, scraped the floating tea leaves with the tea lid, and took a sip: "Also, this official disdains to talk to people who have no fame." ”

"You ......" Yang Shiqi was almost mad, but this is the truth, and his old face is as red as chicken blood.

Yang Rong grabbed Yang Shiqi and said with a smile: "As far as the lower officials know, Li Shangshu has no fame, I'm afraid that Jian Shangshu doesn't have something to say!?" ”

Jian Yi's face changed: "Don't sow discord, you are also worthy of comparing with Li Shangshu?" ”

"Hehe," Yang Rong sneered, "What are you pretending, who doesn't know that you people have been suffering Li Shangshu for a long time, but your strength is not enough, so you don't dare to attack." ”

After a pause, he arched his hand and said: "Li Shangshu, you know, the cabinet has advocated the national policy of the people's migration, and they are forced by the situation, how can they work hard?"

These people have one set today, one set tomorrow, from opposing the large-scale migration, to agreeing, it only took one day, who knows, when the local implementation of the national policy, will they defect again? ”

"Presumptuous!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was furious, "Your cabinet is so arrogant, a fifth-grade official has repeatedly contradicted a second-grade official, how can this be true!" ”

"Deliberation, is it still called deliberation if you don't let people speak?" Yang Rong still tried to arch the fire, "Li Shangshu, if it were you, you would never cooperate with some villains." ”

"Li Shangshu doesn't listen to the villain's provocation." Xia Yuanji opened his mouth, he was also very angry, the cabinet was too arrogant.

Li Qing was calm, he was thick-skinned, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

But it's not a problem to keep arguing like this, so he said, "That...... I'll say two words. ”

The guest hall was silent for a moment, and they all looked at Li Qing, all of them were quite face-saving.

"First of all, I want to emphasize that this migration, officials are not allowed to implement national policies in their home provinces, this is to avoid suspicion, what do you think?"

"Li Shangshu is reasonable."

"Li Shangshu thinks about Zhou Xiang."

Li Qing nodded and continued, "As for who will handle it...... This is easy to say, since the emperor said that the six ministries and the cabinet will jointly co-organize, then they will jointly lead it;

In this way, it not only prevents the person who is in charge from monopolizing the credit, but also avoids the person who is not in charge from being dissatisfied and maliciously smearing. ”

As soon as these words came out, the cabinet's face turned scornful, and the six ministries were secretly vigilant.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji glanced at each other, "Then follow Li Shangshu's method!" ”

……

The main contradiction was solved, and the next thing was the details, Li Qing no longer expressed his opinions, just quietly sipping tea and watching the two sides quarrel.

After arguing for more than an hour, the two sides reluctantly reached a consensus and broke up unhappily.

Li Qing hummed a little song and went home, and met Yu Qian when he arrived at the door.

"Why are you here?"

"I've seen Li Shangshu." Yu Qian saluted, "The lower officer has been promoted to the rank of military department." ”

"Oh, congratulations!" Li Qing said with a smile: "Let's go, go in and say, come in the future and wait for it, you don't have to see the outside like this." ”

Yu Qian smiled dryly: "I won't go in, the lower official will come this time... I wanted to invite Li Shangshu to the cold house for dinner. ”

"Oh?" Li Qing saw that it was still early, and readily agreed: "Why did you think of inviting me to drink?" ”

"Isn't this a promotion?" Yu Qian smiled embarrassedly, "Xiaguan has always been taken care of by Lord Shangshu, and he has long wanted to talk about his heart, but he is shy in his pocket, uh, hehe......"

Seeing his humble appearance, Li Qing couldn't help but be happy, "Let's go." ”

……

Yu Qian's home is very small, much smaller than Li Qing's original courtyard, and it is also very far away from the palace, there is only one wing room, a guest hall, and a stove.

"This house can't be lived in for long." Li Qingdao said, "You have been promoted to Langzhong now, and Yu Lu is also much higher, find someone to rebuild it as soon as possible." ”

He didn't say that he could lend money to Yu Qian, and he knew that Yu Qian wouldn't borrow it.

"Lao Shangshu cares, and the lower officials have written it down." Yu Qian made a gesture of invitation and raised his voice: "Madam, there is a guest at home." ”

Shaoqing, a woman of twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed plainly, walked out.

"This is Li Shangshu." Yu Qian said.

"Mrs. Yu doesn't have to be polite." Li Qing spoke in advance.

The woman is very simple, and she is a little wooden, or when she sees such a big official, she is afraid that some rudeness will affect her husband's career, so she looks at her husband in fear.

Yu Qian said gently: "The wine and food are ready, right?" ”

"Okay, concubine, let's get it." The woman nodded, in a southern accent, "Please, sir." ”

Li Qing smiled and walked into the guest hall.

After a while, the wine and food are served, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, and the portions are very large.

Yu Qian raised his glass and said: "Coarse tea and light rice, I hope that Lord Shangshu will not dislike it." ”

"Huh...... I don't pick and choose. Li Qing raised his glass and touched him, and drank it all.

After all these years of getting along, the two have become very familiar, which is why Yu Qian dared to invite Li Qing to drink.

"Father." A three- or four-year-old child came out of the back room with his eyes fixed on the dishes on the table.

Li Qing tore off a chicken leg and handed it to him, "Come on." ”

The little one was a little frightened of him, a stranger in a mask, and wanted to eat but did not dare to come forward.

"Don't be rude." Yu Qian's face was slightly gloomy.

"Huh? What is this for? Li Qing got up and stuffed the chicken leg into the little guy's hand.

The little one swallowed and looked at his father.

Yu Qian said solemnly: "What did Dad teach you?" ”

"Thank you."

"Well, that's good." Li Qing smiled, "Let's go play." ”

When the little guy came out of the house, Li Qing said: "The child is growing up, and the food can't be bad, you are the seventh grade, and there are seven and a half stones of the moon, so the life will not be so poor, right?" ”

There are no servants at home, and a monthly salary of more than seven stones is enough for a family of three to have a good quality of life.

Yu Qian said: "Isn't this just bought a property, the housing prices here are a bit expensive, and my wife and children have just moved in, so I have spent a lot of money along the way." ”

Li Qing said strangely: "Don't you have any assets in your hometown?" ”

In this era, the real poor people can't afford to read, Yu Qian can show off his talents and raise people all the way, and enter Beijing to take the exam, proving that the family conditions can definitely be repaid.

"The family has some money, but it costs a lot to take the official examination, and there is a high hall in the family to support, so all the family property is left to my younger brother." Yu Qian explained, "You can't let me take all the good things, right?" ”

Yu Qian smiled and raised his glass: "The hard days will soon pass, Master Li doesn't need to worry." ”

Li Qing nodded and raised his glass to drink.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two unconsciously led the topic to politics.

Yu Qian groaned: "Li Shangshu, there is a sentence in the lower officials that I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Is it necessary to hide it for me?" Li Qing put down his wine glass, "Just say it." ”

Yu Qian nodded and said solemnly: "This time, due to the call of the cabinet and the six ministries, the migration intensity will be unprecedented, and it can be said that it is a great good thing to implement this national policy before the real opening of the sea;

But...... Here's the problem. ”

Yu Qian sighed, "In order to cater to the holy will, the cabinet and the six ministries are afraid that they will adopt some coercive and even violent means to implement the national policy!" ”

"Well, you're right." Li Qing nodded.

"Then Lord Shangshu has a solution?"

"Nope!" Li Qing said truthfully: "As you just said: You can't let one person take advantage of all the good things, right?"

The same is true of national governance! ”

Li Qing sighed: "Just like building the Great Wall and opening the canal, the parties involved will definitely suffer, but in the long run, these are all good things for the country and the people, aren't they?"

Building the Great Wall and connecting the canal is construction, and the migration of the southern people to the north is also construction, which is very cost-effective for a generation of people and for the benefit of future generations. ”

"Yu Qian, you remember, any good national policy has its bad side." Li Qing admonished: "In the temple, you must not only focus on the present, but also look at the long term;

Also, don't be too idealistic in everything, what is in the books of the sages cannot exist in reality! ”
