Chapter 1063 The eldest grandson Wuji's sinister trick

When Li Kuan was traveling around Dengzhou and visiting workshops, various changes were also taking place in Chang'an City.

Di Renjie, who had been working with Ma Zhou before, also went to Lantian County near Chang'an City when Li Kuan left Chang'an City to serve as the county magistrate.

Although Di Renjie is not very old, he has been admitted to the Jinshi for several years. He not only has a title in the Hanlin Academy, but also has a position in the General Police Department.

Now that he has been transferred to Lantian County Magistrate, it is not considered an extraordinary promotion.

However, this is the first person among Li Kuan’s personal disciples to officially enter the officialdom, and it has attracted the attention of many people.

"Wuji, although the Ministry of Personnel was in charge of the transfer of Di Renjie to the county magistrate of Lantian County, it was the request made by His Highness the King of Chu himself and His Majesty, so it is difficult for me to stand up and oppose it."

In Changsun’s mansion, Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji sat in the garden and tasting wine.

As Changsun Wuji's uncle, Gao Shilian naturally supported Changsun Wuji in the court.

Changsun Wuji himself served as the Minister of Personnel. Now Gao Shilian is the Minister of Personnel. Many officials in the court have more or less closely related to the Changsun family.

In other words, Li Shimin really trusted Changsun Wuji too much. Otherwise, if some emperors would find that half of the officials in the court supported Changsun Wuji, he would probably be unable to bear it.

"Uncle, I understand this principle without explaining it. Although Lantian County is not a county, it is considered a county government under Yongzhou Prefecture and is very close to Chang'an City. It is considered a rare and good place in Guanzhong. There are many people in the court who think of serving as the county magistrate of Lantian County.

If Di Renjie made achievements in Lantian County, it would be very difficult for the Ministry of Personnel to stop him from being promoted in the future. Over the years, Li Kuan's hands have been restrained and he has not developed too much power in the court. However, the students of Guanshishan Academy have gradually had some influence on entering various yamen through clerks.

If Di Renjie and others slowly rise in the officialdom, they will inevitably become major influencing factors in the Chu King Party. On the contrary, if Di Renjie, a person who tried the waters, fails, the blow to the Chu King Party will definitely be very big."

The conflict between the Changsun family and the Chu Prince's Mansion is no longer possible to resolve.

Whether it is Changsun Wuji or Li Kuan, they have a full understanding of this.

Obviously, Changsun Wuji doesn’t want to see Di Renjie achieve anything in Lantian County now.

"Although Lantian County is very close to Chang'an, the local business is not developed. People generally make a living by farming, or come to the Workshop City to work as a helper. With the influence of Chu's Prince's Mansion in business, as long as a few workshops are arranged to develop in Lantian County, in less than two years, Lantian County's tax revenue will increase greatly and the outflow of population will be fully suppressed. Even if we want to stop it, it will be difficult."

Gao Shilian held the wine glass and frowned, obviously not thinking of any good way.

Nowadays, the most important thing to assess officials is two indicators.

One is tax revenue, and the other is population.

As long as these two indicators are very good-looking, the assessment of this official is often the best.

But the Chu Prince's Mansion has many ways to help Di Renjie get these two indicators.

After all, the prefectures like Dengzhou and Liangzhou can transform them from a backward state to a prosperous and prosperous state, and there is no need to mention the same county in Lantian County.

Gao Shilian almost saw that Di Renjie's career was bright.

Now he is the county magistrate of Lantian County. Maybe in a few years he will be the other lord of Yongzhou Prefecture, Sima.

At that time, he will be transferred back to Chang'an City to serve as a minister of the six ministries, and then sent to a state to serve as a governor.

After a few years of hard work, when Di Renjie returned to Chang'an City again, he was the head of a yamen in Chang'an City.

At that time, the position of prime minister in the Tang Dynasty must have his place.

This is definitely not the scene that Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji hope to see.

"We have no way to stop the increase in tax revenue in Lantian County, nor can we stop the increase in the population of Lantian County. However, as long as we can't continue to work in Lantian County, then the increase in tax revenue and population growth will be meaningless!"

It is obvious that Changsun Wuji is planning to deal with Di Renjie.

As the most famous figure among Li Kuan's disciples and the first top scholar in the Jinshishan Academy, Di Renjie's future is definitely bright, and Changsun Wuji has an understanding of this.

Because of this, when Di Renjie was transferred to Lantian County Magistrate, Changsun Wuji immediately began to consider dealing with him.

"Oh? Wuji, do you have any good ideas?"

Although Gao Shilian is considered an old man in the court, he is still a little different from Changsun Wuji when it comes to power and strategy.

Of course, it was precisely because of his low level of power and strategy that Li Shimin was relieved to let him serve as the Minister of Personnel.

Otherwise, any emperor would have worried that all the officials in the court would become disciples of the Minister of Personnel.

"Di Renjie has just been transferred to Lantian County, and it is still far from the time for the Ministry of Personnel to assess all officials. If Di Renjie can no longer work in Lantian County before the assessment date, then we naturally don't need to worry about the results of the assessment. Maybe then the Chu Prince's Mansion will help vigorously develop Lantian County, and Di Renjie can no longer work in the middle, and he will be a successor."

"Can't do it anymore?"

Gao Shilian kept thinking about this sentence, and then thought about what kind of way could make Di Renjie unable to continue working in Lantian County.

"That's right, it's just that Di Renjie can't work in Lantian County! Isn't he Li Kuan's disciple? Wasn't he transferred from the position of assistant director of the General Police to the county magistrate of Lantian County? Uncle, think about it, if Di Renjie just came to Lantian County to take office, all kinds of cases would happen there one after another, but these cases could not be solved one by one, then what would you think of the people of Lantian County as the new county magistrate?"

Changsun Wuji smiled, obviously he had an idea.

"You mean..."

Gao Shilian is not stupid either. Changsun Wuji has already said this, so he naturally understands what it means.

"At that time, I have to ask my uncle to help me put some pressure on Yongzhou Prefecture. I will also ask the Chang'an Evening News to focus on various bizarre cases in Lantian County, so that Di Renjie has no place to gain a foothold in Lantian County."

Political struggles are naturally all-out.

Although artificially creating a case will definitely lead to some unnecessary sacrifices, Changsun Wuji does not feel sorry for him.

As long as the people who died were not from the Changsun family, what's the matter if they died more and fewer?

"Then I'm waiting to see the show! It just so happened that Li Kuan was not in Chang'an City. If he could pull Di Renjie off before he came back, it would be great, so as not to cause trouble."

Gao Shilian raised his wine glass, smiled slightly, and ran into Changsun Wuji.
