A "reception banquet" was turned into a "sworn oath meeting" by Ye An, which made Fan Ziyuan quite helpless. However, seeing that Ye An made these "slickers" cautious and cautious, he still had to admire him.
means.
Wine is the best thing to promote the relationship between people. Ye An and Fan Ziyuan already have a good relationship. Pushing the glass into the cup, Fan Ziyuan said in a joking tone: "You come up and give it to the officials of Sinong Temple."
It’s not appropriate to show off your power!”
Ye An didn't care. He knew that this was Fan Ziyuan criticizing him for being too eager for quick success. He smiled and said to him: "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools! Don't you want to achieve success? You should also know that promoting good seeds is very important to the Song Dynasty.
What does it mean?"
These words hit Fan Ziyuan's heart. The style of officialdom in the Song Dynasty has always been like this. Sometimes it's not that the chief officials don't want to do things, but that the subordinate officials below are difficult to deal with. If you want to drive them, you usually have to use both kindness and power.
It is also in response to the saying "The king of hell is better than the troublesome little devil". Officials, officials, there are officials and there are officials. These small officials and small officials don't care how majestic your superior officer is. They are the most important part of the yamen.
These experienced petty officials may not be able to run a government office.
Therefore, even if Ye An has the power of appointment and dismissal, he still has to rely on them. The government affairs of Sinong Temple are complicated and require actual personnel to operate them. Shanglin, Taicang, Goudun, Feiguan, Zhucang, Sizhu,
Zhutang, Palace Garden, Yanchi, Zhutun and other prisons. If you want the account books of any one of them, you need to send the clerk in charge of records to get it. It is inseparable. If you remove one and search for it yourself, you may not be able to find it in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
!
What's more, there are people who are responsible for everything necessary for the officials in the capital, such as court gatherings and Cai Si. Even though these small officials are usually idle and lazy, they are already familiar with the expenses involved.
It can be said that his business skills are not neglected at all. As for why Ye An knows this, Zhou Guangzu next to him plays a major role.
Unknowingly, he has become one of Ye An's right-hand men in Sinong Temple. This little official is very smart and knows that Ye An will never break his promise. He also knows that there is a young minister of Sinong Temple who is only seventeen years old.
What does it mean.
Helping Ye An without asking for anything in return during this period is also a greater reward. Ye An will certainly not treat him badly. Regardless of whether he has a purpose or not, he is always much better than those lazy guys.
Today, I beat the officials present and naturally asked them to do their jobs well. Many people looked at Zhou Guangzu. No one knew what he was doing. Some people laughed at him before. Ye An had several ups and downs in the court, and even hung a crown.
But now it seems that young Ye Houshen has the trust of the saints and officials, and his future is limitless!
The most important thing is that he is capable and can do practical things. He is much more powerful than Fan Ziyuan. Even at a young age, he is still ahead of Fan Ziyuan. Many people regret it endlessly and call Zhou Guangzu good luck.
Don't you know that Zhou Guangzu also gave it a try at the beginning. At that time, he was forced into a corner by Ye An. Under the inhumane situation, he either offended Fan Ziyuan or Ye An. In the end, he chose to seek refuge in Ye An to obtain asylum.
Facts have proved that these low-level officials are not worth mentioning in the eyes of senior officials. When Fan Ziyuan saw that Ye An was protecting Zhou Guangzu, he didn't care at all and didn't even want to waste time on him.
Neither Fan Ziyuan nor Ye An could stop at Sinong Temple, let alone the position of Shaoqing of Sinong Temple.
This "reception banquet" was successfully turned into a "pledge meeting" by Ye An. After the banquet was over, Ye An fulfilled his promise and settled the bill, which made Tieniu who paid the money very unhappy.
It seems that this money should have come from the Yamen, why did my Marquis get out of it?!
Fan Ziyuan jumped onto Ye An's bullock cart, looked at Ye An who was resting with his eyes closed, and curled his lips and said: "You are really weird, you kid. Even if we don't use such means, we can still drive them! After all, Sinong Temple
Just you and me, young ministers, how dare they not listen?"
Ye An pinched the bridge of his sour nose and said with a slight wry smile: "You don't want to feed the horse, but you also want the horse to run fast? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers! Besides, what should be given should be given to others, and those who are capable should not give it to others.
He should be buried among the petty officials."
Fan Ziyuan glanced at Ye An strangely, and then shook his head. Up to now, he still does not agree to give these small officials a chance to get ahead: "Officials all enter the official position through the imperial examination, even if it is Enyin or the selection of outstanding talents, etc.
Scholars, this is unfair."
"I don't believe it if they are so lazy from the beginning. Why are they so lazy? Aren't they still incapable of success? They are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination. As for the imperial examination...hehe, do you think they have a chance?
Do you want to study? Who can you ask for advice? I am so busy in the public house every day that I have no time to study and learn. Isn’t this unfair? "
Ye An's words are completely contrary to the moral concepts of scholar-bureaucrats. The so-called fairness is always relative. Some people don't want to mention fairness, some people just use it under the banner of fairness, and some people need fairness the most.
"As long as these people can be trained and used smoothly, what can I do if they are given an official position? If they do well, I would be willing to recommend them to those with outstanding talents. Are you willing?"
Seeing Ye An sitting up, Fan Ziyuan touched his nose in embarrassment, and then said: "You and I are in charge of Sinong Temple. Naturally, we should sign. You, Ye Changsheng, cannot be alone! But you should also know that this
This is considered to be a precedent for governing officials, and it is inevitable that he will be impeached by the censor and criticized by the court officials."
Ye An shrugged, picked up the kettle fixed on the carriage and took a sip: "It doesn't matter, Sinong Temple's political achievements will speak for themselves in time. What's wrong with the motivation method?"
Fan Ziyuan nodded indifferently. This is correct. As long as Sinong Temple has done its job in promoting potatoes and sweet potatoes, no one can say otherwise.
"We'll start working tomorrow, let's take a breath... we'll draw up the charter tonight, so let's not sleep."
Fan Ziyuan was slightly startled: "Here we go, we just drank, it's not too late to draw up the charter tomorrow! Besides, it's not good to rest so late, and it will also delay tomorrow's work..."
The more Fan Ziyuan spoke, the softer his voice became. Then he remembered that it was the excuse he used to trick Ye An into coming to Sinong Temple...
"I thought it would be easier to move to Sinong Temple, but I never thought it would be more troublesome than living in the mansion. Changsheng! Let's discuss it and don't be so diligent."
Ye An chuckled: "I know you moved out of the government office in the name of being a father-in-law. Why are the Fan family's rules so strict?"
"Strict?! It's more than just strict! I don't dare to offend the fierce women in the family, and the elders are all more senior than the last. I, the young minister of Sinong Temple, will be scolded if I don't behave at home even if I take concubines.
A good man..."
Seeing Ye An's strange eyes, Fan Ziyuan said: "Brother and Mrs. Yunyao from Taohuawu...ahem..."
Ye An rolled his eyes helplessly. Who knew that the woman was over thirty, and she was a famous middle-aged lady in Tokyo. Her charm was still charming and seductive. Such a woman exuded the charm of a mature lady.
Fan Ziyuan wanted to take her home as a concubine? He was afraid that Fan Yong could personally beat Fan Ziyuan to death!
"You're not going to spend the night in Taohuawu tonight, are you?!" Ye An was suddenly startled, and Fan Ziyuan shook his head repeatedly: "Not tonight!"
Just when Ye An let out a long breath, this guy kept saying in a calm and steady manner: "Is it okay to go there every night?"
"Get out!" Ye An kicked Fan Ziyuan out of the car. Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a royal sister...
