The System Made Me a Fool
Page 59
Now that I think about it, if there were not a series of decisive measures to rectify the government at the beginning, the subsequent reforms would not have been so smooth! Spicy pork noodles, clove wontons, soap cakes, noodle soups, tea buns, etc.
In the process of tasting the snacks, Yan Ge did not forget to chat with various vendors. During the chat, he even felt that the people in Poyang City lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the happiness index was very high, which made him feel more for Jizhou Mu Yuqi. Interested.
"How, what do you think of this Yu Qi?"
After walking out of the market, Yan Ge asked the girls what they thought.
Yue'er preemptively said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand the big truth, but in Yue'er's opinion, an official who can let His Majesty eat delicious food is a good official!"
Yan Ge laughed dumbly, this month is really cute and innocent.
Bao Sijing analyzed in an orderly manner: "Yu Qi is able to manage Poyang City so well, naturally he has his outstanding ability.
However, you must know that tall buildings are not built in one day. Last year, Jizhou was one of the places that suffered the most serious floods in the country. Today, it is clear and prosperous. This probably depends on the joint efforts of all officials in Jizhou, plus Supervision and encouragement from the Censor Desk and Ladies Division."
After listening to Bao Si's analysis, Yan Ge had a feeling of admiration, even Qi Yun looked at her as if she didn't know her.
Unexpectedly, Bao Si doesn't talk much on weekdays, but when she opens her mouth, she makes an incisive analysis.
This is probably also due to her reading books and articles in her spare time, gaining knowledge, and being born into a family since childhood, she has a deeper insight into these things than the average person.
Yan Ge clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then we'll go meet this Master Yu together!"
At the gate of Jizhou Prefecture Shepherd's Mansion, Yan Ge and others informed the yamen that they wanted to see Mrs. Zhou Mu.
"Go, go, do you think that the state shepherd is the one you want to see?"
The yamen waved his hand impatiently and said, "Every day there are not a thousand or eight hundred people who want to see the state shepherd, so what kind of onion are you, honestly go to the back hall and line up!"
"You! Dogs look down on people!"
After listening to the yamen's words, Yan Ge didn't respond, Yue'er became furious first, after all, she was pampered in the palace, and she was Yan Ge's personal maid, even if a third-rank officer saw her, he had to respectfully call "Yue". girl".
Feilu reminds you: three things to read, collect and push
Chapter 110
But now several yamen officers dared to point fingers at her, to know that Jizhou Prefecture Mu Yuqi was only an official of the fourth rank, which made Yue'er not angry.
"Hey, don't worry Yue'er, what are you competing with these servants?"
Yan Ge patted Yue'er's fragrant shoulder to reassure her.
After speaking, he took out a crystal clear jade plate from his arms and said to the yamen, "Please give this token to your lords.
It is said that the imperial emissary sent by the emperor has arrived."
One of the yamen saw Yan Ge's extraordinary bearing, and the token he took out was also faintly extravagant, so he was a little skeptical and seemed to want to take the token.
At this time, another yamen officer grabbed the jade plate and scolded: "Old Liu, how can you still believe these pretentious liars, they are just fish in troubled waters.
I've never heard the Lord say anything about the imperial envoy!"
"Why don't you get out of your way! If I find out that you are here to swindle and cheat, I won't interrupt your dog legs!"
Hearing this, even Qi Yun couldn't hold it any longer, and kicked the yamen on the spot.
Qi Yun's foot was so powerful that the yamen broke his leg on the spot and fell to the ground crying.
Qi Yun snorted coldly, "This general will discount your legs first!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining yamen hurriedly shouted: "Someone is making trouble!"
Soon dozens of soldiers from the prefecture and shepherd's mansion poured out from the mansion and surrounded Yan Ge and others! It was dangerous to see Yan Ge. Several Yujian Ji who had been dressed as servants and servants and passers-by disguised around them were in danger. They also all tore off their disguise, shook their heads and fluttered thousands of blue silks, and pulled out one after another... The long swords with silver lights around their waists confronted the soldiers.
The soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw that there were dozens of beauties with beautiful faces and powerful physiques, glaring at them with long swords in their hands.
But they never imagined that if they really started, these thirty Yujian Ji would be able to slaughter them all at the click of a finger! "Stop! Who is so bold, dare to make trouble in our state's shepherd's house!"
At this moment, a deep voice came from the mansion, and a middle-aged man dressed in black official mansion appeared in front of everyone.
"grown ups!"
Soldiers and yamen saluted one after another.
The yamen said to Yu Qi: "Sir, there are a few liars who want to see you, and they claim to be imperial envoys, and they hurt people. Do you want to invite the city defense garrison?"
"Wait!"
After listening to the yamen's words, Yu Qi's face changed greatly, and he walked to Yan Ge in three steps and two steps, "This... son, he said that he is an imperial envoy, but there is a token to prove it."
Yan Ge showed the jade plate in his hand, Yu Qi took it and looked at it for a while, then he simply knelt on the ground: "Xiaguan Yu Qi, see the imperial envoy!"
The several yamen who made trouble with Yan Ge just now were all dumbfounded.
"Master Yu, the governance of Poyang City is good, but the servants in the house seem to have not managed it well."
Yan Ge said lightly.
Yu Qi's face turned pale when he heard this. His appearance was originally more delicate, with a pale face and no beards, but this time he looked even more bloodless.
"Your Excellency the imperial envoy, it's a subordinate official who has nowhere to go, please don't take offense at the imperial envoy."
Yu Qi said hurriedly.
"Your Excellency the Imperial Commissioner, please spare your life, Your Excellency Imperial Commissioner, please spare your life!"
At this moment, the several yamen officers all fell to their knees on the ground with a thud, and their heads slammed into the sky.
Yan Ge shook his head, Yu Qi himself looked easy-going and humble, but these minions were arrogant, fortunately, today was his private interview, seeing Yu Qi's love for talent, he was not prepared to care too much.
Otherwise, if the imperial envoy really arrives, this matter alone will be enough to put a stain on Yu Qi's political career.
"Baby Yue'er, what do you want to do with these people?"
Seeing that Yue'er was still there, Yan Ge pouted and asked affectionately with her arms around her.
"Hmph, according to the family law of the son in the palace, I will slap myself and slap myself until the son and the ladies are satisfied."
Moon said angrily.
"Minions obey orders, slaves obey orders!"
Ya, but as if receiving a pardon, immediately.
Can't wait to kneel there and slap her own palm, slap her face to bruises and swollen old high, Qi Yun stepped forward to patch a few feet, and they passed out on the spot before giving up.
This is not to bully others with stern songs. Under the feudal hierarchical system, there is a difference of honor and inferiority between people! The following crimes are bound to be severely punished.
Therefore, both Yu Qi and the three concubines present took this matter for granted, without any sympathy.
You know, offending the emperor should have been a capital crime! Now a few slaps are enough, and it can be said that these people are cheap! After this episode of dog fighting, Yu Qi respectfully invited Yan Ge and others to the inner hall.
After closing the door, Yu Qi knelt in front of Yan Ge on the spot.
"Xiaguan Jizhou Mu Yuqi, I meet the emperor, long live my emperor!"
Yan Ge was taken aback: "Yu Aiqing is
How did you find out who I am?"
Bao Si said: "It must be Yu Jianji's sisters who exposed their daughters in a hurry, so Master Yu guessed it."
"Niang Niang is really smart!"
Yu Qi smiled and said, "When the lady of the Lady Department notified me yesterday, he only said that there was an imperial envoy, but he did not explain the specific circumstances of the imperial envoy, but emphasized that the imperial envoy's identity was extremely noble, which caused Wei Chen to make a lot of guesses at that time."
"There is a portrait of His Majesty hanging in the house of the minister. I look at the holy face every day and thank the emperor for his kindness. Therefore, I am quite familiar with His Majesty's appearance, and I have also seen the iconic beauty of the jade sword beside His Majesty, and this confirms His Majesty's identity. "
Yu Qi added.
"You are also clever."
Now that his identity has been seen through, Yan Ge will no longer hide it, and openly compare his work to Yu Qi.
This Yu Qi really lived up to Yan Ge's expectations. He answered all questions fluently, and the opinions he put forward contained a summary of rich practical experience and personal understanding, which was very insightful.
Yan Ge nodded and said, "Lord Zhou Mu is so young and promising, there must have been a lot of people who came to join him in the past."
Yu Qi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, since you set up the Department of Ladies to supervise officials across the country, how could anyone dare to do such a corrupt thing.
Hundreds of officials in Jizhou, large and small, have all been cautious in their words and deeds since the Lady Division came, and who would dare to commit crimes against the wind!"
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Yu recognizes the work of the Lady's Company very much!"
"Wei ministers can be said to be both respectful and fearful of colleagues in the Ladies Division.
Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, those of us who read the book of sages and sages have the determination to save the common people at the beginning of the career, but when entering the officialdom, it is inevitable to encounter corruption.
Many times people's evil thoughts are in the gap in that moment."
"After His Majesty took office, not only did the Censor Station strictly guard against it, but also strengthened the supervision of officials at all levels, and the girls of the Ladies Division were all pervasive, and even a few taels of money might be found out.
With this level of worry about the Lady's Division, bureaucrats at all levels have put an extra lock on themselves when they are officials, which is of great significance to the clean and honest administration of officials!"
Yan Ge was amazed that Yu Qi was so candid in expressing his thoughts in front of him, and his evaluation of this person suddenly became a little higher.
Not only can it be outstanding, but it is also true and unpretentious, which can be regarded as a clear stream in the Dawei officialdom.
"However, Your Majesty, in today's splendid scene of official governance, this minister has such a small opinion that he would like to report to Your Majesty."
"Yu Aiqing, but it's okay to say it."
"When Your Majesty first ascended to the Great Treasure, the entire officialdom of the Wei Dynasty was full of smog and filth and filth. Your Majesty fought against corrupt officials, severely punished the law, and closely monitored the situation. Only then did the situation be reversed. , when this is the practice."
"It's just that now the Great Wei State has enriched the people and the industry has flourished. The income of farmers, merchants, and soldiers has greatly increased, but the salaries of officials have not increased, but they are subject to the strictest surveillance, and any wrongdoing will be punished. to severe punishment."
"If things go on like this, the minister is worried that the study will give way to the merchants, and the talented people do not want to worry about the world, but think about how to dance long sleeves well and make money every day, which may be bad for the development of the whole country. is harmful."
After listening to what Yu Qi said, Yan Ge supported his chin and fell into contemplation, even Bao Si and Qi Yun seemed to understand.
Indeed, what Yu Qi said at first sounded like an impact on the traditional Confucian thought of entering an official position, but when you think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense.
Confucian traditional concept of "interest"
"The Analects of Confucius" says that "the gentleman is compared to righteousness, and the villain is compared to profit"
, Opposing righteousness and profit, Fan Zhongyan even more "worry before the world's worries, and enjoy the world's happiness after it"
's famous saying.
Therefore, being an official is not for the sake of fame and for profit, so you have to "serve the world at the same time"
However, this view seems to bind later generations of readers to some extent.
