Chapter 578 Friends of the Story (Part 2)

"Please ask for a secret? Brother Jie..." After hearing Li Wei say his general purpose, Cao Yong was a little puzzled and looked at him, but he was very surprised.

As the saying goes, "No curtain can lead to a yamen."

"Mu" refers to the staff and the staff, and are the men in the government who do not have the name of an assistant official but have the reality of assisting the government.

Some people say that those who involve military affairs are called "staff members" in the yamen above the prefecture; those who act as pens and handle administrative and judicial affairs are called "staff members".

At this time, people believed that "everything is inferior, only those who study well" and paid attention to "learning literature and martial arts, goods and imperial families", and believed that the imperial examination was the right way to go.

However, some people are not lucky and have thorough knowledge. From the time they are young, they still fail and have no career in the career.

The source of the master is such a scholar who fails to be awarded.

Li Wei is generous in nature, which makes people prone to being close, but his knowledge is not satisfactory. He does not seek official positions but seeks a secret, no wonder Cao Yong accepted it.

Seeing Cao Yong's doubts, Li Wei waved his hand and said, "Master Cao misunderstood. You don't have such a thick face. You ask for a secret message for yourself. It's for this brother." As he said, he thought that before he introduced the two, he said to Cao Yong first: "Master Cao, this is a kid's old friend, Jiang Jian, Jiang Feizhen, a native of Qianshan, Jiangxi Province, has been to the capital for many years. He came to the capital a few days ago. He envied the prosperity of the capital and wanted to stay here for two years. It happened that the boy heard that Master Cao might be about to be promoted recently, so he recommended his old friend to Master Cao with thick face."

As he said that, he turned his head again and said to the man behind him, "Fai Pi, this is Mr. Cao who I often talk to you!"

After hearing this, Jiang Jian bowed to Cao Yong to hold a tribute.

It's really "a person should not behave like a person". Although this is the first time Cao Yong has seen this man in front of him, he has heard of Daming for a long time.

Jiang Jian was only thirty years old and had been in the prefectures and counties in Shanxi, but he was a little famous.

He is famous for his "Zhihan Hero". He practiced martial arts well in his youth. Later, he became famous in his studies and once solved several difficult major cases in Shanxi.

This year, due to the tight war in the northwest, the imperial court had no money, and the rice and grain transported to the northwest were used in various provinces. Among them, Shanxi was next to Mongolia and the various expenses were also paid.

The vassal treasury is just like the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue. The silver has long become a deficit, leaving only the number of words in the account book.

The governor ordered the levy of silver, but some county officials thought they had a chance and allowed corrupt officials to collect intensive taxes.

As a result, officials forced the people to rebel, which led to local civil unrest in Linfen County.

The governor of Shanxi issued a letter to the governor of Zezhou, Tong Guolong, to take troops to deal with it. Jiang Jian was Tong Guolong's guest and was invited to go with him.

At that time, the people were already full of soldiers. After smashing the county government office, they were afraid that the imperial army would come to suppress the enemy. The people in the city would support the elderly and young, leave their homes and flee, and hide in the mountains.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Jian dissuaded Tong Guolong from moving slowly and not to easily dispatch the Green Camp soldiers who were accompanying him.

Those green camp soldiers are like evil wolves.

If this person who caused trouble is a lawless bandit, it would be fine, but it would be strangled; most of them are ordinary people, the elderly, weak, women and children. If they really fight each other, the situation will only become more and more serious.

Jiang Jian himself, holding Tong Guolong's command arrow, entered the mountain alone.

The people were holding hoes and sticks and guarding on both sides of the mountain road, but Jiang Jian was not afraid at all and shouted all the way: "The Governor knows that everyone is a good citizen, so he specially ordered the Tutor Tong to comfort..."

Afterwards, the people went down the mountain one after another, and a major disaster disappeared.

When the news reached the capital, Tong Guolong became the one who was single-handedly appeased the people.

Tong Guolong, from the Tong family of the Later tribe, was the uncle of Longkodo, the admiral of the Nine Gate. Although they were all descendants of the Tong family, because he was not a legitimate branch, his career was also difficult.

In his early years, he used a letter to make up for the magistrate, and he survived for more than 20 years. Now he is the magistrate, which is also an anomaly among the powerful people of the Eight Banners.

Speaking of which, Tong Guolong is a good official. Whether he is a county magistrate or a prefect, he is honest and honest, knows how to reduce consumption and envy, and sympathizes with the people, so he has a very good reputation among the people.

This is why Jiang Jian held Tong Guolong's arrow and allowed the people to put down their weapons and return to their homeland.

This world is also strange. A good official like Tong Guolong should have been valued and promoted, but it is exactly the opposite.

His integrity just reflects the despicableness of others; his popularity of others compares the loss of others.

Among them, Zhao Fengzhao, the former governor of Taiyuan, regarded Tong Guolong as a thorn in his eyes and as if he was a thorn in his flesh.

Zhao Fengzhao and Zhao Shenqiao, the father of the capital, communicated with Zhao Shenqiao, and asked someone to impeach Tong Guolong.

Among them, there is also the intention of testing the Tong family.

When the Tong family was about to stop and behave with their tails, they naturally would not take it seriously for an ordinary tribe member.

In the early years, there was an old saying in Beijing, "Tong Banchao, Lang Yiwan, counting over and over again, not as many as Suo's family." It refers to the great power of the three empresses of Kangxi.

Among them, "Tong Banchao" refers to the Tong Tulai family, which had two generations of queens, and Lang was the Niaohulu family of the founding father Eyidu; the last "Suo" is the Soetu family, where the Kangxi Yuan Dynasty was located.

The three families are all descendants and noble families, with their children spread all over the court and the country, and they are also extremely prominent.

What is the result?

The most prominent Soetu family was unpredictable and was destroyed over the years. The Nuohulu family, which had the most powerful power in the army, had children successively promoted and surrendered.

However, the Tong family took a big advantage. In addition to being Kangxi's wife, it was also a mother. In addition, the Tong family's children were mostly civil servants, which did not make the emperor feel annoying, but instead suffered the least suppression.

In this way, the Tong family members dared not show off again, for fear of following in the footsteps of the Soetu family.

Seeing that the Tong family was not moving, Zhao Shenqiao became more and more bold, and tampered with it and removed Tong Guolong from accusation.

If it were other places, the people were powerless, at most they would wipe their tears and give them umbrellas of the people. However, Zezhou was different.

This place cannot be said to be richest in the world, and it is also one of the most prosperous places in the Central Plains. There are many rich merchants, and "it is not considered rich unless it is hundreds of thousands."

These wealthy merchants and gentry were exploited by previous officials. After finally waiting for a clean official, how could they watch him be dismissed?

Not to mention the "bells and drums are ringing and the market is shut down", there are still many people who want to go to Beijing to knock on the throne.

The matter was so big that the truth was revealed and Tong Guolong was able to remain in office.

When Mr. Zhuang mentioned this matter to Cao Yong, he sighed and thought it was the work of the "Zhi Hero" friend.

Not relying on the Tong family, but relying solely on the strength of the people, Tong Guolong is innocent. He seems to have won, but he is actually defeated. Tong Guolong's career may end up as the governor.

According to the "Law of the Qing Dynasty", all Han people who gathered more than 30 years ago will be punished for the crime of treason. Assemblies, gatherings, or slaughtering the market are all unwilling to be held by the national law.

Whether it is the merchants and the people who have stopped the market and kept them, or went to Linfen to seek revenge, the number of "people's hearts" has been invited, which has made the court's position very embarrassing, and Tong Guolong naturally violated the taboo of being an official.

"Loyalty to the emperor and love the people" and "loyalty to the emperor and love the people". This "loyalty to the emperor" must be put before "loving the people", so that the official can do it for a long time; otherwise, the right thing is wrong, and the wrong thing is even more wrong, and the consequences will not be good.

These days, Mr. Zhuang and Cao Yin are also looking for famous posts for Cao Yong.

But time is tight, and most of the staff in the capital are Shaoxing troops.

They colluded with each other and involved too much. Mr. Zhuang and Cao Yin meant that in order to save trouble in the future, they did not invite Shaoxing's masters. After searching for a few days, they found a person who was proficient in money and grain, and a person who specialized in Shuqi, Zhengming and other aspects, but there were vacancies.

When Cao Yong went to Yizhou to serve as a guard of the road in his early years, he also used his aides. The two were old friends who had used by the Cao family in Jiangning, and the remaining two were students studying in Shandong.

At that time, Mr. Zhuang coordinated him, so he didn't have to worry about it.

This time, Cao Yong went to work in the Office of the Internal Affairs, but Mr. Zhuang was not suitable for him to come forward.

It is one thing that you are old and don’t want to go to the yamen to work; it is one of the reasons that you have some taboos in your heart and are afraid of meeting old friends.

Mr. Zhuang didn't need to teach the way of getting along with each other. He also knew that Cao Yong had the style of the ancients and had always respected the elders. However, Mr. Zhuang nagged for several days without getting tired of it.

It’s just that the yamen is bigger and there are more troubles from the top and bottom. The importance of aides and friends is to rely on them and share their own responsibilities; we must also be careful of them so as not to be deceived by them.

"Don't doubt the use of people" can only be said and thought it was clear.

Not to mention anything else, the guest and host think that the relationship is good, but some of them are the staff who do bad things with good intentions and ruin Dongweng's future.

The example he gave to Cao Yong was Jiang Jian, a famous Shanxi opera singer in front of him. It also meant that Cao Yong was mentioned, so that he could not distinguish between "loyalty to the emperor" and "love the people" and who was ahead and behind.

After hearing this, Cao Yong could only sigh.

What kind of world is this?

Corrupt officials and worms secretly held high positions, and ministers who were careful in doing things became like rats crossing the street. What was wrong with Jiang Jian?

It has preserved the people, preserved Dongweng's reputation for his official position, and also preserved his own conscience.

It is worthy of being called the word "门" or "正".

In Cao Yong's heart, he felt a little respect for Jiang Jian, the famous poet.

Cao Yong, the master in the capital, has also dealt with, but he has the eyes of wealth and is accustomed to seeing people take food.

"Flame the powerful and powerful, comparable to the filial son; oppressing the common people is better than the Yan Luo", which refers to the masters in the capital.

People like Jiang Jian are rare.

Respect is the respect. After all, if you ask Mr. Zhuang for the search for the curtain, it is difficult for Cao Yong to make a decision in private. Not to mention the person in front of him, it is the "scene of destruction of the master" that Mr. Zhuang sighed.

Cao Yong met Jiang Jian with fists, and then said to Li Wei: "The matter of asking for friends is handled by his mentor, so I can't just respond directly. If Brother Jiang is free, he can follow Brother Jie to the house to sit down another day and talk about this matter in detail."

Although Cao Yong did not respond directly, he had the intention of fulfilling his words and saying things outside. Li Wei was also happy and nodded in response.

Because he was still thinking about the mansion, Cao Yong said a few words to Li Wei, and then left with the two and went back to the mansion first.

Cao Yong had the intention of fulfilling Jiang Jian in his heart, but he was not planning to keep him by his side.

The capital is not as good as the local area, with powers intertwined, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a special yamen. If Jiang Jian was out of date, how could Cao Yong be willing to take office with trouble?

Some friends need to find masters who specialize in their profession; some, such as registration, Zhu Mo, etc., are capable of doing it.

Since ancient times, many people have used family and in-laws as the curtain.

If Cao Shuo hadn't been gone, Cao Yong would really want to leave a place for his cousin and bring him to the yamen to have a good life experience for two years, and then make up for his leisure time and get enough experience.

But time has passed and nothing needs to be mentioned.

When Cao Yong returned to the mansion, the front yard and the back yard were already on the table.
