"No.＠＠," Liu Xiang thought that she was just here to beg for mercy, and he had no time to care about such trivial matters at the moment, "Tell her that we will collect the bodies of her family members, and let them go to Gongyuan first.
When the time is right, we will naturally let them go back to their hometown."
Liu Xiang said a few more words to the surrendered people to appease them. He also told the office clerks in each room and class to "come here and work as usual." After sending them away, he said to Wei Bifu: "Brother
If you abandon the secret and turn to the light, our Senate will not treat you badly. Now I appoint you as the consultant of the Guangzhou Municipal Military Control Commission, and you will come to work tomorrow - I just have to offend you and my family to stay in Guangxiao Temple for a while."
Wei Bifu stood up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, you are serious in your words. I will do my best to serve the Song Dynasty in this lowly position. I will do my best for you."
"Okay, okay, sir, you don't have to use your low-level tactics in the future."
"Yes, yes, I will obey Jun's order."
Wei Bifu bowed respectfully and left, leaving Liu Xiang alone in the signing room. Just as he was about to go out to see if the moving team had arrived, the new life secretary Guo Xier walked in.
Guo Xi'er is Guo Ling'er's cousin sister. Her family and Guo Ling'er's family were originally admitted to Hainan together. Guo Ling'er entered the maid school, and Guo Xi'er entered the grassland when she was still young. Her grades were not very good and she was at the bottom. Last year
After graduating from junior high school, he worked as a clerk in an agency.
At this time, her cousin was pregnant and had a baby. Guo Ling'er saw the female clerks eyeing each and every one of them, trying to keep their favor. When he saw that his own sister was also tall and graceful, and had received a "new law education", she came up with the idea of going into battle.
Relying on father and son, this boudoir also has to rely on the unity of sisters. So he took advantage of his "merit" in giving birth to a daughter. At this stage when Liu Xiang's ears were tender and his bottom was hard, he had been blowing pillow wind for several months. He decided to give up his own girl.
Fucked into Liu Xiang's bed - of course he registered in the general office in the name of life secretary, and his name was also changed to "Guo Xi'er". His age was written as sixteen - in fact he was only fifteen years old. Guo Ling'er was afraid of long nights and many dreams, so he took the name
The virtual age means one year old. Although Liu Xiang noticed it later, he vaguely recognized it - compared to Sister Nai, Guo Xi'er was much more lively - after all, she had received a new type of education since she was a child.
"Chief," Guo Xi'er has not been working as a secretary for a long time, and is still a little shy about his master. "There is a master from the Ming Dynasty outside who comes to pay homage. This is his post."
Liu Xiang thought to himself that if this was an ordinary Ming Dynasty gentry rushing to heat up the stove, he would not be in a hurry to see him. However, when he took it over, he saw that it was Lu Yizhong. This aide to Wang Zunde who was captured in the Battle of Chengmai, returned after surrendering.
He was sent back to Guangzhou to serve as Guo Yi's "master", which can be regarded as a veteran "leader". Liu Xiang had already said hello to the Foreign Intelligence Bureau in charge of managing him, and wanted to transfer him to the new Guangzhou Military Control Commission team
Ren Yong. Since he is so knowledgeable and interested in coming to pay homage, he naturally wants to meet him.
"Invite him in immediately."
Lu Yizhong was sent back to Guangzhou after the Battle of Pearl River. He was nominally Guo Yi's "copywriter", but actually acted as a communication channel between Guo Yi and the local Jin gentry and official circles in Guangzhou. Although he was despised by the scholars and Jin gentry, there were Australians after all.
Backstage, all the officials and gentry in the city were very perfunctory with him and did not dare to offend him. Only a few stupid young scholars had humiliated him in person, and even wanted to punch him. However, these young people threw themselves into the river without knowing it.
After he was hanged and "committed to suicide", no one mentioned Lu Yizhong's past. He became more and more comfortable in the officialdom of the Jin gentry - there were things that Guo Yi couldn't say or do that he could do.
He became a very important figure in Guangzhou Station and even the city of Guangzhou. He also made a lot of money. As the momentum of the Senate grew, Lu Yizhong was no longer ashamed of seeking glory for his vendors. He was even a bit of a "blessing in disguise"
a feeling of.
But at the moment, he is mixed with happiness and worry. He is happy that the king of the Senate has come ashore, and the battle in the Central Plains is just around the corner. He is an old minister who came from Longbei, but he is worried that Guo Yi is not the new prefect of Guangzhou, and has been transferred back to Lingao by a transfer order.
"There is another appointment." In the view of Lu Yizhong, a veteran in officialdom, this is a sign that "Dongzhu Guo" has lost power. If we think about it again, "Chairman Wen" of the Senate suddenly became the "Guangdong Zhizhi Envoy", and a senator named Wang became the
Lu Yizhong naturally thought that this should be the downfall of Wen Xiang, so he was "outed as Jiedu". Guo Yi was suddenly deposed at this juncture, obviously because he was Wen Xiang's person, and
Naturally, he is a member of "Dongzhu Guo" - this is a bit bad.
As the saying goes, once the emperor is the same as the minister, now that Guo Yi has resigned, the new "chief" will naturally appoint a new team. A week ago, he received a notice that a large number of "cadres going north" were coming to Guangzhou. This made him worried - compared with
A person trained by the leaders themselves, he is a head short in terms of his "descendant" background, not to mention that he is still "a member of Guo Yi's ship" - he is simply reserved for the bench, just in case Guo Dongzhu returns and is criticized again.
It would be bad if something "unfounded" happened and he became an "accomplice" and fell into the "Prison Prison" of the Song Dynasty. So he started looking for a backer early in the morning - the new Governor of Guangzhou of the Song Dynasty
Nature is the most suitable candidate.
A few days ago, he received a notice that the Guangzhou Military Control Commission had decided to transfer him to serve. Lu Yizhong was overjoyed. Today he heard that Chief Liu's family had entered the city, and he came to visit himself without waiting for Liu Xiang to summon him.
Lu Yizhong originally thought about whether he should shave his head and change his clothes to go to the meeting - Guangzhou has been "liberated", Guo Yi and others have shaved their heads and changed their clothes. As a "guest" of the Senate, it seems that he should also express his feelings. However, he thought about it
For a long time, I felt that since he was not informed about shaving his head and changing clothes, he should not make his own decision. Moreover, he didn't know how Chief Liu planned to appoint him, so it would be better to go see him as is.
Lu Yizhong came in to see Li, and Liu Xiang knew this person. Although he was used by the Senate, he was not a serious "naturalized citizen". He was a "gray figure" in the personnel system of the Senate. He Qiwei
Sun Kecheng, the chief treasurer of the Escort Bureau, was of a special nature. He was a very useful helper for the Senate to connect with traditional society. For such people, the Senate's policy was to "fully appoint and not trust". Therefore, Liu Xiang was very polite to him and said a few words.
Wen Wen told him to "work with peace of mind and don't have to worry too much", and also said that Guo Yi resigned because he had "another important position", implying that he should not worry about his future.
Lu Yizhong calmed down and couldn't help but burst into tears with gratitude. He also said how he was "unfailingly loyal" to the Senate and was willing to "dedicate himself wholeheartedly" to the great cause of the Senate. He also said that he was willing to be Liu Xiang's "front-runner lackey" and "kill the enemy".
"Efforts to return results".
After saying that, he took out a sandalwood box from his arms and said in a slightly mysterious voice in a low voice: "This is a small gift for humble duty and filial piety to the leader. It is not respectful!"
Liu Xiang waved his hand and said, "You know our rules. Why do you do this again? I know your business well, so don't worry."
Lu Yizhong said with a smile on his face: "I understand the records of the Senate and do not dare to offend. This is not a valuable thing, it is just a small toy. Although it is rare, it is not a valuable object."
Liu Xiang became curious, took the box and opened it. It was indeed a pair of silver balls, only about the size of walnuts. The hollow carvings were very delicate, and when they were shaken gently, there was a slight tinkling sound. Although they were made of silver, they
It's very light, only a few coins at most. It's really not a valuable item. I just don't know what to use it for.
"This thing is called Burmese bell. It is said that it came from Burma. This pair was made by a time-honored shop in Guangzhou. The bell tongue inside is made of fine pearls. It is the most exquisite and can be called the beauty of the boudoir.
Taste……"
Liu Xiang was still wondering what this thing was used for, but now after he explained it, he realized that it turned out to be a "sex toy" from the Ming Dynasty. He couldn't laugh or cry. He could only say: "I'll bear it, I'll bear it."
Seeing his expression, Lu Yizhong was disapproving, knowing that he didn't know the "wonderfulness" of this thing. He added:
"Have fun in the room, this thing has the magical effect of befitting a man." He lowered his head as he said it. "I heard that the leader is still empty at his knees. I hope the leader will give birth to a son soon to extend the lineage..."
"Thank you for your good words." Liu Xiang put the box away and put it aside. He didn't care much about this gift, and he didn't attach much importance to the birth of a son, but his filial piety to Lu Yizhong was very useful. Although he knew that he was
It's shameless flattery, but it's so comfortable...
"Old Lu," his words were unknowingly full of kindness, "you don't have to do any tricks. Let's talk about business first. You have been around for a long time. We won't talk about the Senate now. If I understand
When the governor of the country comes to take office here, how can he make the land of this prefecture have good weather, good things and prosperous people?"
When Lu Yizhong heard this, he realized that he was asking for advice. He quickly cheered up and thought for a while: "The easiest thing to do in the world is to be an official, and the hardest thing to do is to be an official. It all depends on the will and luck of the official."
If you want to be simple, you only need to use two powerful criminal names, Qianliangshiye, the subordinate staff of three classes and six rooms are well maintained, and they are in harmony with the gentry. When it comes to criminal names and lawsuits, you only have to be conscientious. After three years of service, everything will be fine.
If you leave office, you will at least get a moderate result, and you will still be able to save tens of thousands of taels of silver."
"What if we want to do something?"
"This depends on the officer's skills." Lu Yizhong himself has been a magistrate, and has experienced all the tastes. He speaks clearly and eloquently, "Although local officials are Bailihou and have the power to destroy families and families, they are still from outside.
It is really not easy to do something. Building bridges and roads, constructing water conservancy projects, and eradicating bad government... are all good deeds. However, whenever there is a benefit, there will be a loss. Some people get the benefits, and some people lose the benefits. During this period
It’s really hard to describe the troubles. It has to be a local official with strong strengths and skills to suppress it. But no matter how capable you are, there are some people who can’t afford to offend you. You must be careful when it comes to them.”
"Oh? Who are they?"
"A subordinate official is the most cunning, but local administration is in their hands. If you are cunning, you will be embarrassed at least, and you will be dismissed from office or even lose your life. So it is not uncommon for local officials to do so.
No matter how powerful you are, you still have to deal with them, or at least prevent them from playing tricks on you."
"The second one is the Jin gentry, right?"
"The chief is right." Lu Yizhong nodded and said, "The so-called politics should not offend the wealthy family. All Jin gentry have connections in the province and the court, and they have great influence in the local area. Prefectures and counties must maintain peace in the local area.
When you are an official, you cannot offend them; if you want to achieve something, you must make good friends with them."
In fact, the money and food at the disposal of local officials is very limited. If they want to do some practical things, they do not need the generosity of the local gentry. Even if they do not donate money, at least they will not interfere. This is not easy. The local gentry who are eager for public affairs and love justice naturally have
Yes, but there are also many "evil gentry" who use their fame to infringe the local area.
Lu Yizhong saw that Liu Xiang was listening carefully, so he told him many things he had seen and heard when he was an official. The number of tricks and the depth of it made Liu Xiang amazed: This official knowledge is really incredible.
Shallow.
Fortunately, I am an official of the Senate. If I were an official of the Ming Dynasty alone, I might not be able to handle it at all.
Lu Yizhong said: "...the leader is implementing the new policy of the Senate, so he naturally has some reform and innovation. I am afraid that the shallow knowledge of a humble position is of no use...
Liu Xiang smiled and said: "What are you talking about? Without your explanation, how would I know who is the tiger in Guangzhou?" He thought for a while and said, "It's just that things have priorities, and there are hundreds of people who have just entered the city.
It’s useless and I don’t know where to start.”
Lu Yizhong said with a smile: "The chief must have a temple in mind. However, according to the view of the humble position, the most important thing in administration is the management of officials. Only when the officials are cured can they be able to use their arms and fingers. Now the heavenly soldiers have just been recovered.
In Guangzhou, with the power of an army that has fought hundreds of battles, the local Jin gentry families all have families and businesses, and they will never openly oppose the heavenly soldiers at this juncture. They must be resigned to the chief's administration at this time; on the contrary, this subordinate official,
He has controlled the place for many years, maintained his family's secret knowledge, and used it to control the government. The leader must be careful."
These words contained his personal intentions. Lu Yizhong himself was also a civil servant and had served as a prefect. He had a natural aversion to the subordinate officials, a group that seemed tame but was in fact insidious and cunning, and sometimes backlash. He naturally had protection for his fellow gentry.
heart of.
Liu Xiang deeply agreed. The Jin gentry has a lot of energy, but at this stage they will not jump out to oppose the Senate. Instead, they are subordinate officials. They are the people who directly control the grassroots government affairs and face the people. They have to carry out a series of work in Guangzhou.
Without their assistance, if it is not used properly, it will not only damage the interests of the Senate, but also damage the credibility of the new regime in Guangzhou.
However, he did not want to talk too deeply about how to deal with subordinate officials in front of Lu Yizhong, and asked: "I wonder which families in Guangzhou are the most prominent and wealthy families?" (To be continued.)
