Before time travel, Zhao Gang was just an ordinary person. His biggest characteristic was that he loved reading. Although he served in the government, he was just an inconspicuous civil servant. He always stayed away from intrigues in the officialdom.
But this does not mean that Zhao Gang will be helpless after facing difficulties.
According to the evaluation that Zhao Gang has received since he was a child, he is a person who is good at planning, but lacks quick wit.
Therefore, when Zhao Gang faced a car that suddenly hit him, his body reaction would be half a beat slower due to fright. When Zhao Gang discovered the fact that he had traveled through time, his mind would go blank and he would be at a loss as to what to do.
In short, when faced with an unexpected accident, Zhao Gang's performance was no better than that of ordinary people.
However, once Zhao Gang calms down and gives him some time, no matter how difficult the task is, he will do it very well and rarely make mistakes.
This may be because Zhao Gang is good at analysis. No matter how complicated things are, he can calm down, analyze clearly in an orderly manner, find his own strengths and weaknesses, and formulate targeted countermeasures accordingly.
Just like what Zhao Gang is doing now.
Although his name is now Zhao Junchen.
…………
(From here on, the first person in this book is changed to Zhao Junchen)
…………
"From today on, I am no longer Zhao Gang, but Zhao Junchen."
Zhao Junchen thought secretly.
"The situation I am in now, although I can still be proud of it for a while, it will not end well in the end no matter how I look at it. Although my position is still stable for the time being because of Emperor Deqing's favor, Emperor Deqing is now fifty-four.
Well, the lifespan of people in this era is not very long. Even emperors rarely live to be over sixty years old. How many years can Emperor Deqing protect me? Once he dies, with my current reputation
, and having made so many enemies, you can imagine what kind of end you will end up with.”
There is a saying that goes, "Thousands of people point to it and end without disease." Because of the propaganda spread all over the world by hostile ministers, although Zhao Junchen was a bit "exaggerated", he just responded to this situation.
Since ancient times, there have naturally been many corrupt officials who have ended up well, but that is because these corrupt officials will engage in "face projects" and are good at decorating their appearance. Corruption is greedy, but few people know it, and they may even appear to be corrupt officials.
Qingtian, who is praised and respected by the world, in fact, "three years to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver." Although this sentence is somewhat cynical and means to beat officials all over the world to death, it can also be seen that in
In this feudal society, there were not many truly upright officials, and the threshold for so-called "upright officials" in the minds of the common people was also extremely low.
As long as you can make the people have food to eat, then you will be the great master of Qingtian.
And for corrupt officials like Zhao Junchen, who are known to everyone for their unscrupulous greed, no matter how favored they are, no matter how powerful they are, none of them will end up well. Li Linfu, Qin Hui, Yan Song, etc., which one is not powerful?
Which one is not deeply favored? Which one has a good end? Even if he can die in peace, his descendants will be affected after his death.
Why? Your reputation is so bad that it has endangered the country, the country, and the reputation of the court! If the foundation of the court and the country is shaken, what will the royal family rule? How can honest officials display their ambitions? How can corrupt officials continue to take bribes and bend the law? Not many people will care about you if you take bribes.
, but you can't block everyone's way.
Therefore, for those corrupt officials with such a bad reputation, not only the honest officials who hate you want to kill you, but also the emperor who originally favored you and the other corrupt officials who were your cronies want to clear themselves, to continue embezzling, and to eliminate evidence.
, I still want to kill you.
When everyone in this world wants to kill you, how can you not die? No wonder you don't even know how to embezzle money, but you do it for everyone to know!!
Judging from what Zhao Junchen has done in the past few years, although it is still far behind Li Linfu, Qin Hui, Yan Song and other "predecessors", in terms of reputation alone, it is already far behind. If nothing happens, even if he really
He is the illegitimate son of Emperor Deqing, and his fate will definitely not be much better.
Fortunately, Zhao Junchen's current reputation and deeds are far from reaching the point of endangering the country and the country. Although hostile ministers - especially the Qingliu people have been vigorously publicizing it, Zhao Junchen has only been an official for five years after all.
Although his image as a "corrupt official" is well known to everyone, it has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people.
"Fortunately, there is still room for recovery..."
After calming down and accepting the fact that he traveled through time, Zhao Junchen only thinks about one thing - living well.
…………
The reason why Zhao Junchen is notorious among the government and the public but has a stable status is because he knows how to manage money and because he is favored by the current Emperor Deqing.
Of course, it is not ruled out that he will really be the illegitimate son of Emperor Deqing, but this is actually irrelevant. In some respects, it may even do more harm than good.
Among the many memory fragments he inherited, the clearest and most profound ones are: one is his growth experience since childhood, the other is the number of silver taels he was greedy for, and the following is the person of Emperor Deqing, as well as the relationship between the Ministry of Revenue and the internal transportation over the years.
The status of the library.
It seems that the original Zhao Junchen worked hard to flatter Emperor Deqing and for the financial affairs of Mingde. His memory is so profound.
To put it simply, Emperor Deqing not only likes Zhao Junchen now, but also cannot live without Zhao Junchen.
Emperor Deqing was a man who loved great achievements. Yesterday he had to renovate the palace, today he would tour the south, and tomorrow he might send people to clear up border troubles. All of this required money, and the emperor was also short of money.
It can be said that if it were not for Emperor Deqing, the financial turnover of the Ming Dynasty would never be so difficult.
Before Zhao Junchen appeared, when Emperor Deqing wanted to do something, he would often be troubled by the lack of money in the Ministry of Revenue and the internal treasury. He had many ideas but few could be realized. However, after Zhao Junchen appeared, he would always find ways to squeeze out the money.
Provide money to satisfy Emperor Deqing's various desires.
In addition, Zhao Junchen had a deep understanding of Emperor Deqing over the years and understood his likes and dislikes very well. He was good at figuring out Emperor Deqing's thoughts. Often when Emperor Deqing just wanted to do something, Zhao Junchen had already prepared everything in advance.
It was appropriate, every word and action made Emperor Deqing satisfied and happy.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, everyone in the world said that the former Zhao Junchen was not only a corrupt official, but also a jester. In fact, they were not wrong at all.
That was indeed the case for Zhao Junchen in the past.
And with such actions, the new Zhao Junchen, who has now changed his soul, will naturally continue to do so without hesitation...
Not only should we continue to do this, but we should also do better.
Because Zhao Junchen analyzed and analyzed, he found that the only thing he could rely on in the future was the favor of Emperor Deqing in a short period of time.
Emperor Deqing's likes and dislikes have been inherited by today's Zhao Junchen through memory fragments. Although he cannot guarantee that he has the ability to flatter the horse without changing his expression, he can still easily scratch Emperor Deqing's itch.
.
As for financial management, it is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. The methods and experience of Zhao Junchen in financial management are still inherited by today's Zhao Junchen. Coupled with hundreds of years of experience from later generations, the new Zhao Junchen,
I have the confidence to do better.
Yes, he did better than the original Zhao Junchen and made Emperor Deqing inseparable from him. This is the most effective way to save his life in the short term.
But this alone is not enough.
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries. Now, compared with the aspects that are beneficial to Zhao Junchen, there are more disadvantages to Zhao Junchen, and they are also more fatal and serious!!
