I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 39, I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail
Why is everyone asking this?
Could it be that if you are handsome, you are going to study?
Guo Yi couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing studying?"

Hey!
This is a fresh question!

It's purely knowing what to ask!

Manager Zhu laughed angrily, "What else can you do with studying? Naturally, you can get an official position through the imperial examination!"

"Hehe! Just say it's for being an official?" Guo Yi smiled bluntly: "But isn't being an official just to keep the people fed and clothed?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the brick kiln that was burning bricks in the distance, and then pointed to the chicken and rabbit breeding workshop that was laying foundations and was about to be built, and then continued: "I also do this to feed the villagers. Nuan, what's the difference between this and being an official?"

It was the first time Guanshi Zhu heard such nonsense, he couldn't laugh or cry, and he preached: "This is a big difference! Being an official of one side will benefit the land and water of one side. It is the parents of 10,000+ Li people. How many people are you?"

"Manage 10,000+ people?" Guo Yi looked at him with eyes of caring for the mentally retarded, and taunted him mercilessly: "The rules of our Great Zhou Dynasty, local officials can only serve for three years, and after three years, they have to change places. Said To put it bluntly, before the buttocks are warmed up, they are about to slap their buttocks and leave.

I'm afraid he can't even recognize all the officials in the county government?
Moreover, whether it is speaking or doing things, or conveying and executing orders, it is the local officials who execute them.

Most of the officials are locals, with complex relationships, occupying one side, and implementing the system of succession from father to son.

Once these officials hook up, even the county magistrate will be unable to move an inch.

In our Great Zhou Dynasty, it is better to say that officials rule the world than scholar-bureaucrats! "

After finishing speaking, Guanshi Zhu fell into deep thought.

His first reaction was, how could it be like this?
This completely overturned his cognition, but if you think about it carefully, what this kid said is not wrong at all.

Household registration, taxation, money and grain, Zhenji, and judiciary are all in charge of the county magistrate and county lieutenant, but the specific executors are all the officials below.

The Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated that all local officials were not allowed to hold office there.

In other words, none of the county magistrates were locals.

But the officials below are almost all locals!
These local officials, after decades of being intertwined, have extraordinary relationships with each other.

As long as they unite, they will be able to evacuate county magistrates who are not locals.As long as they are willing, a piece of official document can't even get out of the county government.

Seeing his enlightened expression, Guo Yi smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and circled in the direction of Yanglin Village behind him: "And you see, I am here, and the old Yang's two hundred or so households all listen to me! I let They dug the kiln, they dug the kiln; I asked them to build a chicken and rabbit farm, and they started laying the foundation."

Zhu Guanshi was silent, unable to refute.Although what this kid said was wrong, he was indeed right.

Unexpectedly, at such an advanced age, and as the foreign steward of the Chu Palace, I don't even have a thorough understanding of it like a teenage doll.

As expected, my prince was right, how wise this kid is like a monster!

But I was still a little dissatisfied, and then asked: "Then you plan to stay in the village for the rest of your life, raise chickens and rabbits, open a kiln and burn bricks?"

Guo Yi smiled brightly: "Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? Being a man is the most taboo to be too ambitious. If you can arrange the current affairs properly, you are already asked by a university student! I always only think about the present, such as raising chickens and rabbits, opening a kiln Brick. Let’s talk about next year at the end of this year!”

Guanshi Zhu was taught a lesson again, feeling relieved, he blurted out: "Would you like to come to the palace to do something?"

This time, it was Guo Yi's turn to be stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, and asked: "Go to your Chu Palace? What are you doing?"

"If you can come, I will give you the position of steward outside the palace!" Steward Zhu patted his chest generously, and then said boldly: "This point, so-and-so can still make the decision!"

"Staff outside the palace? Not interested!"

Hearing his thoughtless reply, Guanshi Zhu was immediately laughed angrily: "You boy, don't be ignorant of flattery! Do you know what kind of status I am as a steward outside the palace?"

"What status? Can you have the final say in your Chu Palace?"

"I can't!"

"It doesn't matter if you say it! Then what's the use of it?"

At this moment, Guanshi Zhu really wanted to scold her!
Your grandma has a leg!

This is in the Chu Palace. If I have the final say, where do you want me to put His Royal Highness Chu?
The Wangfu has two farms outside the city, and there is also a fabric store, a restaurant, and a spice store in the city, all of which are under Laozi's management!
Looking at his angry expression, Guo Yi didn't hesitate at all, and stretched out his hand again to circle in the direction of Yanglin Village behind him: "Look, here, I have the final say!"

Then he added: "Why should I be a phoenix tail when I can be a chicken head?"

Could it be that the phoenix tail from your Chu Palace is fragrant?

Manager Zhu almost died of anger, this kid really doesn't know how to flatter him!
I don't know how many people outside are chasing and fawning, and they want to go to the palace to do things.

You kid is fine, throwing it away is like a bad thing!

Thinking of this, Guanshi Zhu flicked his sleeves and was about to get in the car and leave, but got off halfway.

He raised his hand and patted his forehead, feeling stunned.I haven't done my business yet, so I'm too busy chatting with this kid.

How annoying!
"Boy, let me ask you, the weather is getting warmer now, and the carbon can no longer be sold, what are you going to do with it?"

The weather is getting warmer, and people don't burn coal anymore, but this kid is still sending coal to the city every day.

"There are three ways to deal with it. First, continue digging for coal, store it, and sell it when the cold comes this year, and then sell it to other cities at a high price.

Second, find a shop, and if the price is right, sell them all in bulk.

Third, you can find a way to sell it to the iron smelting supervisor. They burn stone carbon to smelt iron, which requires a lot of stone carbon. "

After listening to Guanshi Zhu, he nodded clearly.

I have to say that although this handsome young man is a bit irritating, he does have business acumen.

And after he got the answer he wanted, he turned around and got into the carriage, and drove away, wanting to report to his lord immediately.

King Chu 'Guo Yunzhe' was standing outside the city, looking at the gruel shed not far away.

Only four simple pillars are used for support, the top is covered with straw, and four steaming cauldrons are lined up below, and the chestnut rice porridge with wild vegetables is boiled in it.

The disaster victims who came to cook had already formed a long queue.At a glance, the victims dragged their families, all dressed in rags, holding broken bowls with missing brims, stretched their necks sadly, and looked towards the porridge shed.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu also couldn't bear it, his eyes were sour.

Guanshi Zhu came to him and bowed to salute: "My lord, the little one is back."

"Well, how are things going?"

"I have already got the way to deal with it. That kid is just like what you said, so smart that he is close to a monster!" Manager Zhu sighed, and then narrated the whole process of the meeting.
