Four hundred and twenty-five chapters stealing hooks kill those who steal the country
Chapter 425 The one who steals the hook will punish the one who steals the country
After receiving Master Li's authorization, Guo Xiancheng was so excited that he stayed up all night and felt full of energy.
For many years, he has been a submissive eighth-grade assistant officer, sending away one county magistrate after another. He is known as the "Shaking Master" who can only shake his head but dare not nod when faced with problems.
To this day, being appointed by Prefect Li to take charge of county affairs, which means he has to play the role of county magistrate, is a major opportunity in his life, and he can't contain his excitement.
While he was excited, Taishou Li's words, "If you don't understand this, you will be a county magistrate all your life" always lingered in his ears. Mr. Li is right, as your status rises, you cannot let this level of cultivation fall behind. If you don't understand the beauty of it, you must
Ask someone else.
Confucius said, "When three people are walking together, I must be my teacher." Confucius also said, "I am smart and eager to learn, and I am not ashamed to ask questions." After many years of serving as a second master, Guo Xiancheng was able to put down his dignity. The next day, he bought a good table of food.
, invited Mr. Li’s staff, Mr. Zhuang, over for a drink.
The first is to make good friends with Mr. Zhuang and help him in his governance. The second is that according to the observation of Mr. Guo County, Mr. Zhuang has the most thorough research on officialdom, and he works beside Mr. Li, so he can ask for some advice.
After three rounds of drinking, Master Zhuang understood what Guo Xiancheng meant, and he laughed and said: "I am just a small official in the county, and I am lucky enough to be retained by my boss because of his respect. I am limited by my knowledge and often can't explain my boss's thoughts. However,
In the past six months, I have often gained insights from careful consideration."
"This time things have been very unpredictable and unpredictable. Outsiders are just looking at things in the fog and don't know the inside story. However, my boss, myself and several other people have talked about the ins and outs of the matter, so I know a little bit about it and have some insights.
.”
Seeing that Mr. Zhuang was willing to confide, Prime Minister Guo Xian felt happy and quickly made a toast.
Mr. Zhuang will never be an official in this life, but he likes to show off his official experience and knowledge. Guo Xiancheng's humbly asking for advice is in line with his taste.
"This time, in fact, this time the boss has always been passive, while Yang Futai and Ding Yunzhi took the initiative. What the boss did was just to use their own strength to add fuel to the flames.
However, it is in line with the essence of treating by doing nothing and striking before the enemy. The more proactive we do in the face of endless and completely uncontrollable accidents, the more mistakes we make and the more flaws we have. This is how Yang Futai and Ding Yunshi collapsed.
of."
"The boss even has the meaning of breaking the jar. Anyway, the situation is already chaotic enough, so let it be chaotic to the extreme. Everything will be reversed at the extreme. Only after chaos can there be great order. No need to say too much, just two benefits."
"First, in the eyes of the imperial court, how does it view this civil strife in Yangzhou's officialdom? I dare to conclude that what attracts the most attention of the imperial court is that the salt transport envoy of the most wealthy yamen in the world and the second-rank governor in the north of the Yangtze River are attacking each other.
Fight to the death! The fierce confrontation between these two important ministers without regard for dignity is so eye-catching that no one else can be ranked, including my boss."
"The two people attracted all their attention, and the proprietor was caught in the middle, but he seemed to be stable and reliable. Although this chaos was fundamentally caused by the proprietor, Futai and
The battle of the Salt Transport Department diluted this understanding to a large extent, so that the court would not always feel that the proprietor was restless."
Guo Xiancheng couldn't help but applauded: "It is really so."
If Li You heard Mr. Zhuang's analysis, he would probably agree with it, but at the same time he would still laugh and curse, your level of view of officialdom is still too low, and it is still at a low-level and lively level!
This time Master Li created a situation where Ding Yunshi and Yang Futai attacked each other, which indeed had the effect of making a fortune silently, but his intention was far more than that.
In the 21st century, the main criterion for evaluating local officials is economic development figures. The faster the score, the higher the score, and the ranking is clear at a glance.
Today, the most important assessment points for local officials are two points, one is the payment of money and grain, and the other is the local stability. These two items are said to be assessments, but in fact they are just the minimum standards. There are too many who can pass the test, not too many.
Even poor local officials can pass.
After that, the basis of establishing a relationship depends largely on impressions...
In the impression of the imperial court, you can only be a county magistrate, so you should work as a county magistrate for the rest of your life. In the impression that you are a prefect, then you can try out the position of a magistrate. If you really want to be like Wang Anshi, who "has failed the world's expectations for thirty years"
”, the prime minister did not run away at the point where “there is no way out of hiding the stone but the common people”.
At the state and county level, the problem is not obvious yet, and there are many positions in the sixth and seventh grades across the country, so the competition is not fierce. But as you go higher up, the "impression" becomes more important, which is equivalent to the most obvious label on the body. Until you
Until you reach level three or so, that's another level of things, and new rules need to be applied.
The so-called impression is not fame or prestige, but is refined on various bases. In these days, without developed media advocacy, it is not easy to improve the impression score. Most officials can only remain in obscurity and become subordinates throughout their lives.
Therefore, the image of an official in the minds of the emperor and the court bosses is very important. How important is it? It can even be said that the greater your image, the greater your future.
Having said that, based on the current situation of Yangzhou City, if Futai, Yunsi, and Fu Zun all lose their official positions, and Li You, who holds several positions, becomes the well-deserved number one figure in the officialdom of Yangzhou City, then this number one
What can the characters do?
Calculating the time, the emperor's southern tour is coming soon. At this moment of great attention, if you can greet it as the leader of the officialdom in Yangzhou area, you can make a unique limelight!
Although there are side effects, overall calculation shows that the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Mr. Li did not hesitate to smash the structure of Yangzhou City at any cost, took advantage of various opportunities to the extreme, and pushed himself to the top of the crazy Yangzhou officialdom. In addition to various considerations of interests, the most important thought was to be in the minds of the emperor and his ministers.
, completely get rid of the image of an opportunistic and lucky official.
He has been thinking about what the emperor's southern tour can bring him.
Now he is determined to make every possible use of the opportunity to portray himself as a high-ranking official and improve his impression score, thereby paving a solid path for his future.
It may give people the impression of being dictatorial in taking power, but this is not the 21st century. We don’t have to talk about democracy in everything. Isn’t the other meaning of dictatorship not being smart and capable?
If Li You didn't have a few brushes, how could he stand out among so many officials in Yangzhou City? How could he have the support of the people in the city and the support of three hundred merchants? This is what he showed to the court and his own backers
His strength and abilities are far beyond those of ordinary fifth-grade cognoscenti.
Things must be reversed at the extreme, and taking things to the extreme is another pattern and breakthrough. This is the principle of those who steal the hook and kill those who steal the country. Killing one or two colleagues is definitely not the same thing as killing all the colleagues in the city...
There may be some people who adhere to the golden rules of "being in the limelight is tabooed" and "low-key and mediocrity is king", but wars are unpredictable, power is unpredictable, and there is no truly universal dogma in the world, and Mr. Li has not followed this approach from the beginning.
