first minister
Chapter 100
Chapter 100
A clear voice sounded, and Su Yuanshang turned his head to look at this young man who had been sitting here for a long time. It was not easy for him to leave without saying a word, so he nodded slightly, "Young master Yun, just say what you have to say."
Xia Jingyun said: "Where a place is governed, no matter whether it is a prefecture or a county, there are many officials and subordinates who follow the four people. How to use these four types of people reasonably, and how to balance the relationship between these four people."
Su Yuanshang was startled, and solemnly sized Xia Jingyun up and down, "Mr. Yun is from an aristocratic family?"
Xia Jingyun was noncommittal, and said respectfully: "There are often people who say that you can be as clean as water, but officials are as slippery as oil. The younger generation often thinks, if the younger generation becomes an official, and lives in an unfamiliar place, how to open up the situation, how to hold power, how to make the government order flow without hindrance, and how to make the upper and lower levels obey the shadows, and there are many doubts. I hope you can clarify them."
Su Yuanshang nodded slowly, "If you can think of this, you have indeed begun to touch the threshold of being an official. I will not recognize what I say next, if it goes out of this door."
He raised two fingers, "There are two solutions to this kind of thing."
"First, like most officials in the world, you can confine yourself to this government office. You only need to pay the money, food and taxes in full and on time, and beat some people who are too angry from time to time. Then you can sit high on it and act as a domineering minister. After you have been promoted, you are enough to be called a clean and capable minister."
"Second, it's complicated. Do you really want to listen?"
You have said that, can I not listen?
Xia Jingyun nodded immediately.
Unexpectedly, Su Yuanshang shook his head, "I advise you not to listen. Sometimes ignorance is blissful, just like the road I just said, it is the road that most people in the officialdom take, and the operation is very simple. With the support of the imperial power and the court behind you, you are naturally in a dominant position. You can do it very easily, and then just focus on the officialdom to seek success."
Xia Jingyun said softly: "But if I listen, my conscience will drive me to think about whether to do this, whether to take the more difficult path, and thus fall into a dilemma. Then, if I choose to do it but fail to do it, I will feel more painful and even suspicious. Therefore, it is better not to listen than to listen. Knowing is worse than not knowing."
"Of course!" Su Yuanshang nodded slightly, "Then do you still want to listen?"
Xia Jingyun got up, cupped his hands, and bowed to the ground, "I would like to hear the details."
"Okay!" Su Yuanshang gave an angry praise, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
Bai Yunbian:? ? ?
Why did it suddenly become hot?
Isn't it just a few villains?It can be destroyed by flipping your hands, why are you saying that I want to be unable to cover my eyes again this day.
Su Yuanshang said: "Before we talk about this, let's clarify what the so-called officials, subordinates, and followers are. Officials refer to those who have official status but no rank or very low-level people who work in affairs. Xu is a servant, not only has no official status, but most of them are untouchables, and works as servants in the Yamen. The Mu Sui is simple. One is Mu Sui, who uses his knowledge to use the master, and the other is a close follower, who uses his confidantes to win the trust of the superior."
"Let's talk about the officials first. Unlike officials who move with their appointments, officials are often recruited from the local area, and each place has a fixed number. Therefore, officials from outside have to rely on them."
Xia Jingyun nodded, like in Water Margin, Song Jiang's escort is a typical official official, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, it is often like this.
Su Yuanshang continued: "The existence of officials is necessary. The chief officials of each land are transferred by the imperial court. They are not familiar with the local area, and the term of office is short. When they are familiar with the local area, it is often time to leave the post. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the official staff to have a clear control over the territory. At the same time, the uploading and distribution of various documents in the imperial court has a variety of categories.
"But officials also have their disadvantages. Officials often have a certain degree of morality, but officials are different. They are entrenched in the countryside and have no worries about their official career. They are greedy and use the power of the emperor to do anything wrong. At the same time, all kinds of official documents need to be passed through their hands, and there are too many things to do."
Xia Jingyun said in a soft voice: "Scholars who are caught with stolen goods and bribes will be abandoned at the time. Fame is more important than profit, so there are more scholars.
"This statement is accurate!"
Su Yuanshang's eyes were brilliant, "You can have this insight, and your insight is far beyond your peers!"
"At the same time, there is no feudal system for officials in the world, but there is feudal system for officials. The disadvantages of prefectures and counties are in the caves of officials and xues, which are passed on from father to son, brother to brother, and superiors know that they are a great harm to the world and cannot go."
"Scholars in the imperial examinations only look at literary talents, not civil affairs. Government affairs must rely on officials and servants. However, officials and servants have no hope of promotion, and it is inevitable to take advantage of the opportunity to take bribes and blackmail the people."
Bai Yunbian sat on the side, blinked his eyes, a little bored, he didn't quite understand what these two people were talking about these little people here, shouldn't officials be thinking of benevolent enlightenment and restraining the people?
He looked at the tea in the cup, picked up the teapot and prepared to pour it for himself, but then looked at Su Yuanshang who was beaming with joy, thought for a while, walked over to help him refill a cup, poured it for him, he looked at Xia Jingyun again, and poured another cup for Xia Jingyun.
When he walked back to his seat with the pot in hand, he suddenly froze.
No, how the hell did I become the one serving tea and pouring water?
He turned his head to look at Xia Jingyun, who was talking eloquently, with shock that he couldn't hide in his eyes.
In fact, from the very beginning, he knew that this Yun Jingxia was not some unknown junior, how could any unknown junior be able to withstand his powerful aura without bowing down.
But he doesn't care, because no matter how good others are, they are not as good as him.
But along the way, no matter how pretentious he is, he has to admit that this person is his lifelong rival, a formidable opponent who can challenge him.
In the public house, a group of yamen servants nervously watched the time.
"How long?"
"Half an hour."
"It shouldn't be, why haven't you come out yet!"
"Hahahaha! Let me talk for an hour! This time it's all mine!"
After a while.
"How long?"
"It's been an hour."
"Hahahaha, the banker kills! You all lose!"
After a while.
"Have you been afraid for an hour and a half?"
Even the banker who won a lot of money was stunned, "When did your lord chat with someone for so long?"
Until the sky was completely dark, a yamen servant who was inquiring about the news came running quickly.
"My lord has just ordered us to talk by candlelight at night."
A group of yamen servants looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and their eyes were full of unbelievable shock.
Not only them, but even Bai Yunbian, who was in it, was dumbfounded.
The two people in front of them have already started chatting about the meaning of merchants, the optimization of taxation and transportation, the importance of transportation and water conservancy, and the consequences and inevitability of land annexation. They are all things that he knows every single word, but he doesn't understand the meaning at all when combined.
The only value of his existence here is: serving tea and pouring water.
Well, just now he helped to order the servants to bring in some food, and now he is concentrating on cooking.
He listened to the sudden patter of rain outside the window, puffed his cheeks, and looked at the two people who were gesticulating in front of him, feeling a little confused for the first time.
Yinshi, at the gate of the government office.
The two yamen servants each held oil-paper umbrellas for Su Yuanshang and Xia Jingyun.
Su Yuanshang held Xia Jingyun's arm, and said with emotion, "Yanzu! It's really a great pleasure to be able to talk with you at night by candlelight. I believe that in the future, you will definitely be able to become an official who benefits the people and the common people!"
Xia Jingyun also admired him from the bottom of his heart: "My lord is familiar with government affairs and has a clear understanding of world affairs. You are really a role model for my generation. Today's time is too short. I hope I can ask you for advice again."
A trace of loneliness flashed in Su Yuanshang's eyes, which was unclear in the night, and he immediately patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Okay! There will be a chance!"
Sending Xia Jingyun and others away, Su Yuanshang stared at the darkness in front of him for a long time, then turned and went back to the backyard of the government office, and first woke up his sleeping wife.
His wife rubbed his eyes, and was about to get up immediately to serve him to rest, but Su Yuanshang waved his hand, pressed her shoulder, and gently stroked her cheek. Unknowingly, that bright and shy girl had already added a few wrinkles to her face.
He said softly: "When you get up tomorrow, you will take the child back to Yueyang and take care of my parents for me."
Looking at the abnormal husband, the wife subconsciously felt uneasy, "Husband, is something wrong?"
"What can I do? I want to go out for a business trip, thinking that I won't be here these days, and you have nothing to do here, so go back and serve my old parents for me, just out of filial piety."
"Well, that's good." The wife relieved her heart and said with a light smile, "I don't even remember the last time my husband touched me like this."
Su Yuanshang gently took her into his arms, "In the future, I will spend more time with you."
If there is a chance. He silently added a sentence in his heart.
After a while, he came to the room of his two sons, but he didn't wake them up. He just looked at their sleeping faces, listened to their peaceful snoring, smiled slightly, and pressed the two notes on their desks.
After tidying up, he came out and sat in the main hall of the government office.
No regrets.
But, what a pity.
But tonight saw a better young man than him.
It can be regarded as God's will in the dark.
Not long after, two figures in coir raincoats brought the wind and rain into the hall.
One of them showed the token document, "Master Su, please come with us."
Su Yuanshang got up calmly, "Okay."

Double the last day, the last hour, I don’t know if there is a monthly pass, or2
