Chapter 67 The Psychology of Civil Officials

Li Buqi's words ignited the atmosphere, and these idle nobles surrounded Li Buqi and asked how to make people fly.Li Buqi then drew a picture of a hang glider, saying that an old man in the wandering area once saw someone fly off the ground with this thing in the west, but the hang glider broke because of insufficient bearing capacity.

Even flying a little off the ground is fine.These nobles are idle and not short of money, don't you think it's enough to make a solid one?So several people immediately expressed that they would find Japanese iron as soon as possible, and then find skilled craftsmen to build what Li Buqi wanted, as long as Li Buqi could make the hang glider.

hehe!Building a hang glider is systems engineering.Although there is no aluminum, but there must be steel pipes as the skeleton, right?There must be steel wires to tighten the parts, right?Need metal connectors?Must be strong enough silk for wings?By the way, bearings are also needed!Once this thing is made, it will be a great technological advancement.

Take these things slowly.When these things can be produced, Da Song's technological level will inevitably rise to a higher level.

Wang Kechen was also full of thoughts on how to make people fly. It was not until Li Buqi said goodbye that he forgot the original intention of today's arrangement, and he didn't say a word he wanted to say.But it doesn't matter, when parting, Wang Kechen said: "Today I wanted to discuss poetry with Buqi, but I forgot all about the flying wings when you mentioned it. So tomorrow I will invite you alone, so don't refuse."

Li Buqi hurriedly said: "It is exactly what I wish for officials to talk about poetry with me, so how about I invite officials to Wuweifang tomorrow?"

Wang Kechen didn't refuse either: "Okay. After returning to Beijing, I ate the vegetables from the Wuweifang of the Two Sessions, and the aftertaste is endless."

So on the second day Li Buqi sat opposite Wang Kechen in Wuweifang, accompanied by Cao Yi, who joined in the fun.Li Buqi picked up a few of his own works and asked them to comment on them.

Cao Yi looked at it and said, "Does this text still need to be refined?"

Wang Kechen also looked constipated after reading Li Buqi's poem: "Buqi this poem, ahem, it's really straightforward. But it has all the rhythms it should have. I heard that you just learned mathematics from Ding Xueshi." Yue, it is rare to be able to write such a poem. Given time, there will be great success."

Talking about poetry was just an introduction. He changed the topic and got to the point: "I listened to your "Bamboo Stone" and "Red Plum Praise", and I only felt a sense of strength in it. right?"

Seeing that Li Buqi didn't deny it, he continued: "You and I hit it off right away. I'm a few years older than you, so let me tell you about my experience in being an official. You have extraordinary talents, so don't let me get angry with some vulgar people. yourself."

To change this era as soon as possible, Li Buqi will say some "out-of-the-line" words and do some "out-of-the-line" things. In order to minimize the emperor's suspicion, Li Buqi now deliberately presents a strong and impulsive image.This image will continue to be maintained, so Li Buqi made a half-understand look: "Oh."

Seeing that Li Buqi obviously didn't take it to heart, Wang Kechen continued, "For example, that censor named Sun Fu, you shouldn't go to his house to climb the wall. It makes others see you as frivolous." , there is no chance of promotion.”

Li Buqi pretended not to be convinced: "But how could that censor make fun of the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and common people in Hebei? The kid couldn't bear it."

Wang Kechen smiled wryly in his heart, so he could only clarify his words: "I have learned a lot from being an official in the past few years. Among the officials, there is never a shortage of people who are good at talking and trying to get ahead. You drove Sun Yushi away, There will be Zhang Yushi and Wang Yushi tomorrow, why don’t you drive them away one by one? Then you don’t have to do anything else, and you don’t need to be promoted.”

Li Buqi still had a silly expression: "I am a scholar-bureaucrat, and I have learned moral articles. There won't be so many unworthy people, right?"

Wang Kechen chuckled: "Most scholar-bureaucrats are naturally people of high morals, but there are always some who are nothing compared to their prestige and wealth.

In this dynasty, wealth and nobility, money and power are often not in the same person.Many scholar-bureaucrats came from poor backgrounds, and they depended on the imperial court for food and clothing.Also, there are many officials and few dispatches. Once he wins an official, it is just another one.How many people have been officials for 30 years but have no land to return to farming, and are old and have insufficient food and clothing. Therefore, there are some people in the government who want to be high-ranking officials by any means and become lucrative officials.If you want to keep your official position, you will do everything you can to seek an official position.Pretending to be big, trying to figure out the holy will, and trying to get ahead are the most common.Do you fight them one by one? "

Again, the economic base determines the superstructure.Ma Laocheng does not deceive me.

Li Buqi would pretend not to believe it and muttered: "The officials are alarmist, right? You have read the books of sages, and you should know the truth not to bend your waist for five buckets of rice."

Cough, Cao Yi really thought that Li Buqi's pattern was broken, so he smiled wryly and said, "Inquire about Xiang Wenjian (Xiang Minzhong) and Zhang Wending (Zhang Qixian). Two prime ministers can make such a thing happen. , do you think those little ministers are better than them?" Of course, there is the worse Cao Yi who didn't say it.

Li Buqi didn't know this allusion, so he hurriedly asked for an explanation.Cao Yi briefly told the story, and only said that there was a rich widow in Tokyo who wanted to remarry during the time of Zhenzong. Tang Zhenzong drove the two prime ministers out of the capital.

Kicking the two prime ministers out of the capital is no small matter.Li Buqi maliciously speculated that the plot in it was bloody, and maybe it was a little unsuitable for children, but Cao Yi's identity was sensitive and he dared not go into too much detail.But there must be a lot of people who know about this matter, just find someone to inquire about it.

Wang Kechen saw that he had reached this point, and said: "Also, if you don't give up, you must remember that there may not be any grudges against you in the court, so don't pay too much attention to some of them. There is never a lack of hope in the officialdom. If you are a lucky person, when your official position is low, no one will look up to you when you have no reputation. If your official position is high, how many people will want to make you famous. The more famous you are, the more people will look at you and count on you Take you as an attack, as long as there is a little mistake in their eyes, they will use you as a stepping stone. So think twice before you don’t give up doing things, and you must understand the truth of being with the light.”

In the end, he saw Li Buqi's bewildered expression and worried that Li Buqi was frightened, and he added: "But you don't need to worry too much. Your Majesty and all the butchers are just a temporary choice, and it's difficult to use evil tricks." Deceiving the saints. As long as you are careful, you have nothing to be afraid of."

Li Buqi curled his lips secretly in his heart: Isn't this just saying "trust the leader", I often said this to my subordinates before crossing, but I didn't even believe it myself.

Wang Kechen and Cao Yu made it so clear to themselves today, this is a great favor.Although Li Buqi didn't understand that these two people had such affection for him, he still avoided the table and bowed to the ground: "I am very grateful for the officials to teach you this way."

Old man Ding Du can say such words in front of himself, he treats himself as a nephew.Li did not give up on this love.
