Poor family rebirth girl

Chapter 35 Chicken Head and Phoenix Tail

Shen Huai paused while drinking tea, put down the teacup calmly, raised his eyelids, looked at the serious gossip girl in front of him, and said, "I didn't know that the people of Huai'an are so enlightened."

Su Ya nodded and said: "Huai'an gathers ships from the south and the horses from the north, and visitors from all directions are more tolerant than other places. Besides, who doesn't love young talents? If you don't love them, there will be no such thing as operas and story books. Ms. Qiu is Born in a powerful family, naturally he has more confidence than others like."

As she spoke, she looked Shen Huai up and down, and said, "Speaking of which, there is only one surname difference between your name and that of Shen Hanlin's."

Shen Huai remained calm, as if he was "Zhou Huai", his tone had long since returned to indifference, and asked: "Tell me about the 'confidence' of this Miss Qiu——Cathedral Governor is stationed in Huai'an, although it has the convenience of water transportation, is it right? Some distance from the circle of the capital."

When it came to business, Su Ya suddenly remembered the "rights" she had emphasized last time, so she put the rag in her hand, sat down on the other side of the table, and poured herself a cup of tea.

"You've got the point." She drank half a glass, sipped a little moisture from her lips naturally, and said, "Cathedro's Yue's family is an honorable person in the capital, and they have always been very considerate when dealing with the capital. Caodu has been in office for several years, and he has the idea of ​​going to the capital."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but humbly ask Shen Huai for advice: "In fact, Huai'an is prosperous and comfortable, and Caodu is in control, why do you have to go to Beijing?"

Su Ya felt that Cao Du was blinded by fame and fortune, so that he gave up benefits, but Shen Huai knew the reason well——

The Governor of Water Transport looks majestic, but it is actually not easy to sit still all the time.

Just looking at one figure, we can see that since the establishment of the post of Caodu, it has been less than 30 years, but there have been more than a dozen appointments, and the average each appointment is less than three years.

The authority is all related to the country's economic lifeline and the royal family. In particular, there is a royal ancestral tomb in the governor's area that will be submerged every time a flood occurs. Others do more and make more mistakes, but Caodu does more and more. It is not an exaggeration to say that "it is easy to be blamed" if it is wrong or not to do it.

It’s just such a position as the general manager of finance and power, but also the position of governor and censor—is it okay to self-examine and correct?

The imperial court also felt that it was not possible, so for a while the governor's function of governor was split out, and for a while he followed the ancestral system and merged the two into one; while employing people, but at the same time guarding against them, it was tossing and turning. Naturally, everything is an article.

It must be the result of being careful all the time that Qiu Naicheng has been able to operate stably here for several years.But which of the previous governors is not a role that emphasizes both city government and means?A wise man is bound to make mistakes.

Shen Huai was thinking about something in his head, and forgot to direct his eyes for a moment. He watched Su Ya's lips that had just licked Shuizawa dry with heavy eyes. Straight teeth... He suddenly noticed that Su Ya had stopped talking, so he couldn't help but raise his gaze, and met a pair of bright eyes that were earnestly asking for advice.

"What's wrong? Did I ask a stupid question?"

Su Ya didn't realize it, and asked curiously: "As the saying goes, it's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. The high officials in the capital are worthless. Why did Caodu have to squeeze there?"

In fact, if most of Su Ya's knowledge comes from scriptures written by literati, then most of her knowledge of officialdom comes from snooping at night.

But the closer to fame and fortune, the more scheming and tricks, and scholars are best at making fuss about subtleties. If a layman does not have a teacher to guide the way, how can it be easy to figure out the way?
Shen Huai thought that she would need her assistance in the future, so for his own convenience, he generously mentioned Cao Du's difficulties to Su Ya briefly.

Su Ya's mind was very dexterous, he turned his words around in his mind, and suddenly realized: "So, instead of waiting for the thunder to explode somewhere, why not step on the Caodu seat as a pedal and jump to the capital as soon as possible?"

Shen Huai always knew that she was smart, but he didn't expect that she would even have the ability to draw inferences about this kind of thing. When he met such a chatty person, he couldn't help mentioning a few more words, "Not only in the capital, but also in Cao Du's second class." The rank and knowledge of a high-ranking official, if you go to the capital, you will probably go straight to the cabinet."

Where is the cabinet?
The so-called "Shang Da Tian Ting" still has to go through the last hurdle in the cabinet.

Su Ya couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, Caodu should plan carefully."

She thought for a while, but then said: "However, it seems that the current Governor's Yue family has lost the power it used to have. I remember his wife complained twice to the old lady next to him, saying that the strength in Beijing is not enough."

"Which one is Qiu Naicheng's Yue's family?"

Shen Huai ran fast back then, and was determined not to be here, and the nobles were born one after another, even if they searched carefully, they couldn't touch the local officialdom in a short time.

"I don't know," Su Ya said innocently, "Those are not related to Huai'an Mansion, so I don't remember them."

"Next time you hear it, remember it by heart." Shen Huai's instructions were smooth.

Tsk tsk, what expression is that on his face?
Su Ya wrinkled the tip of her nose quietly, and asked, "You said that Li Cao's participation in politics and Hu Xing's intention was to wait for Cao Du to vacate his position, and that's why he secretly had close contacts with Xie Youlin?"

"not sure."

Shen Huai was noncommittal, it was a fact that Hu Xing and Xie Youlin had close contacts, but Li Ming, a capable official under the Water Transport Commander, was inserted in the middle, so it was hard to say who was waiting for Cao Du to take his place.

But it's a long story, so there's no need to tell Su Ya.

"Then what if the governor can't leave?" Su Ya asked.

"Then let him step aside."

Shen Huai said it lightly, if you look carefully, you might be able to see a trace of irony in his eyes.

Su Ya took a deep breath. It turns out that Caodu is also walking on thin ice?
"So, not only did Hu Xing and the others have their own schemes, but even the head of the household department who got involved wanted to embrace the new master's thigh in advance?"

She felt both shocked and suddenly enlightened. These officials really don't have much bottom line in life!
Shen Huai has heard her use the description of "hugging thighs" several times, and Gao Jun has even gossiped with him, saying that this girl's speech is sometimes so straightforward and vulgar.

It's a bit vulgar, but it's really straightforward. Shen Huai thinks that vulgar and straightforward words are sometimes better than those vague words.

He silently moved his eyes away from that surprised face, and thought, "It's not just Wang Jixian, who is in charge of the household department department?"At least there is also Liu Yun, the manager of the criminal department who is jumping around.

Su Ya didn't know his ventriloquist, she had already thought of a more distant place: "Then you said, if Caodu didn't have the door to rely on his father-in-law's family, would he be thinking of using his son and daughter's in-law relationship?"

The more she thought about it again, the more she felt that this was the case, and she clapped her hands and said, "Isn't Shen Hanlin the prince's attendant? The governor married his daughter to Shen Hanlin, and when Shen Hanlin was giving lectures to the prince, he recommended it by the way. It will definitely be done!"
