Saint of the Confucian way

Fang Yun not only ordered Liu Yu to serve as the "general director of workshops in Ning'an county" in Ning'an County, responsible for the operation of all organs and increasing the monthly remuneration to 42, but also increased a certain amount of revenue every year on the basis of the current net income of Ning'an County, gave a certain dividend, and finally rewarded a large house worth 8000 Liang.

Fang Yun also rewarded some workshop owners yesterday, but it was far less important than the reward for Liu Yu.

Shen Ming immediately said, "magistrate, although Liu Yu has a good reputation and reputation, he is only a small official of the county government. He suddenly rose to such a high position and received such a generous reward. I'm afraid he can't convince the public. In my opinion, it's better to start with the workshop owner and wait a few months before he is promoted to the post of... Chief engineer."

Tao dingnian, the county magistrate, said, "master Shen, this is a mature view. Although the county magistrate and his subordinates agree with Liu Yu's promotion as chief engineer, the people of the workshop are floating now. Liu Yu has insufficient experience. It's better to delay it for a few months."

"The magistrate agrees with Tao Xiancheng's words." Constable LU Hong rarely opens his mouth.

Fang Yun glanced at LU Hong. As early as Zuo XiangLiu mountain was the shepherd of Mizhou, he changed the structure of the county government of Ning'an County, and the battalion and School of the government army served as the constable. Therefore, there are often seven grade Jinshi constable in Ning'an County, which has a strong control over the public security of Ning'an county.

However, LU Hong is a member of the military after all. Even if he is a disciple of Zuo Xiang, he has far more rules than master Shen Ming. At ordinary times, Fang Yun never opposes the transfer of constable. This time, he suddenly opened his mouth, obviously not for Zuo Xiang, but for his own ideas.

At this time, if Fang Yun directly refutes, he will end up arguing with these low-grade officials in person and lose control of the scene. Yu Bachi immediately said, "you three are so bad! Liu Yuke did his duty and worked hard. He has rooted in Ning'an County for decades. The organs he saved are worth tens of thousands of liang of silver. Those are not so much rewards as compensation!"

"Giving him the position of chief engineer of the workshop is already compensation and reward. There are too many silver coins." LU Hong said.

Yu Bachi suddenly sneered and said, "when Ji knew that Bairen county magistrate sold a weaving workshop to the owner of the workshop in the name of poor management, you were also opposed. What was the result? If you want to compare the practices of the two county magistrates, who do you think is more reasonable?"

LU Hong was silent, but Ao Huang suddenly said "ah" gently. His voice was full of doubts. It seemed that he couldn't understand Yu Bachi.

The Chief Secretary of the workshop, one of the ten rooms of the county government, whispered: "Mr. Liu Yu is a person I admire. What's more, he is the assistant of xiangliyuan, a great Confucian of the workers' family. He works with the staff of the workers' hall to build a new mechanism, and is also the starter of the new gin and popsicle machine. His status is enough to be the chief engineer."

Tao dingnian, Shen Ming and other officials of the Zuo Xiang party were stunned. The words of the general secretary of the workshop came to the point. Whether the starter of the new mechanism or the assistant of the great Confucian Xiang Liyuan, these are all practical forces.

Not to mention the scholar, even a young student Liu Yu would not dare to compare with him. After all, Liu Yu was praised by the great Confucian of the temple of work. For the workers, a compliment from Xiang Liyuan is more meaningful than the emperor's order!

Yu Bachi took a look at the master book of the workshop, and felt that he was worthy of being an official related to the workshop. Indeed, he could see through the doorway better than he, who suddenly became a historian. However, Yu Bachi suddenly looked to Fang Yun.

When meeting with Xiang Liyuan, it was Fang Yun who specially asked Liu Yu to join the team of the work hall. Obviously, he deliberately asked Xiang Liyuan to know Liu Yu and forcibly helped Liu Yu improve his status.

The officials of Zuo Xiang's party were almost angry. Even if Fang Yun grabbed the Chief Secretary of the workshop and shut his mouth, why did he help Fang Yun speak?

It took more than ten minutes for these officials to understand that those present can oppose a county magistrate, but who dares to oppose the great Confucian in the temple of work? The general secretary of the workshop said that the two sides did not help each other, or both.

All the officials scolded in their hearts that Fang Yun had made too much preparation. It seems that the staff are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Fang Yun's staff were not qualified to sit at the meeting, but they had the right to listen. They stood around and looked at Fang Yun in surprise. When they discussed Liu Yu, they didn't mention it at all. They didn't want Fang Yun to pave the way quietly, so that the county officials couldn't object at all and suffered a great loss.

Ao Huang quickly took out a small book and solemnly wrote down the matter.

"... if you want to take it, you must give it first. It's a big mistake. If you want to take it, you should secretly calculate it first..."

Tao dingnian, the county magistrate, looked at other officials. Finally, he had to say, "the county magistrate has a long-term vision. We are not as good as you. Your reward is reasonable and reasonable. If such a meritorious person cannot be rewarded, it will certainly chill the subjects."

"What the county magistrate said is true." Shen Ming said reluctantly and secretly sent the matter to Ji Zhibai, praising Fang Yun's strong staff team.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zhibai's biography is full of Satire: "you don't look at the characters of his staff. Except a few people are trying to sharpen themselves, the vision and mind of other scholars will think of using great Confucianism? Dare they? I don't despise those staff. They can't think of anyone except Fang Yun! Hum, how can it be so simple to suppress Ji Zhibai for the time being?"

After reading Ji Zhibai's biography, Shen Ming was shocked. He thought Fang Yun was only talented, didn't know about officialdom, and didn't know the means of officialdom. But aiming at Liu Yu's step, he included all the great scholars of the Gong temple in the calculation, which was far beyond the ability of the palace to enter the imperial examination.

Fang Yun nodded and said, "since you agree, the county will issue a document and prepare an article to send to Wen Bao to spread the matter all over the world and raise the name of Ning'an county."

Shen Ming wondered why Fang Yun specifically mentioned Wen Bao, so he sent a letter to Ji Zhibai.

It was not until the meeting broke up that Shen Ming received Ji Zhibai's letter.

"Fortunately, I have a mentor to help me, otherwise there is no way to get Fang Yun. Naturally, you can't see the secret. Wen Bao the other day , the article about Lei Shushan, a scholar in the imperial examination of the state of Jia, said that an old craftsman devoted himself to the mechanism and brought great benefits to the workshop. However, the old craftsman didn't get any reward, didn't have any complaints, and lived in poverty and contentment, which became the focus of Lei Shushan's publicity. Fang Yun did the opposite and made Liu Yu a skillful craftsman who was not only immersed in the mechanism The craftsman also helped him get rid of poverty, live a rich life and have a happy family. This realm has gone beyond peace and contentment and directed to the Great Harmony in the world! "

"But isn't it the extremely high spiritual realm of Confucianism to live in peace and contentment?"

"Fool! If Confucianists didn't know how to adapt, they would have been replaced by hundreds of other schools. During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the world was in chaos, and it was difficult for people with a little wisdom to realize their aspirations. They would encounter many difficulties. In order to get through the suffering, they naturally wanted to preach peace and contentment. But now there is a great deal of prosperity among the people. If ordinary people want to live in peace and contentment, it would be against the trend of history Potential! That fool of Lei Shushan can't see the situation after all. Fang Yun's eyes are poison! "
