Chapter 311: Take it from yourself
“The Prime Minister has said that my brother, the Yizhou Diannong School Weimin, is an official. The court will not appoint anyone else for the time being, and let my brother take it for himself.”
Sounds familiar, very familiar!
When Liu Bei died that year, he also said to Zhuge Lao Yao, "take it for yourself".
There are two meanings, one is to replace oneself, the other is to take others and leave them alone.
But no matter which one it is, it will not affect the political trend of the Han Dynasty in the next ten years.
That means all government orders came from Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Laoyao will definitely not replace him, but Adou will have an additional father-in-law from now on.
So when he heard Zhuge Lao Yao say to him the words "take it for yourself", Feng Tubou couldn't stand it for a moment and almost jumped up.
“The officials of the imperial court are public servants, so how can they be taught privately?”
Feng Yong was a little surprised and confused, thinking that I had never dealt with the old demon Zhuge. How could he be so generous based on his searching appearance? Besides, he wouldn't be this kind of person.
“Not privately taught.”
Li Yi explained, "The Prime Minister also said that there is only one big man in the Dian Nong School, and he is his elder brother."
“My brother is familiar with farming. If the official appoints someone else, it may tie up my brother’s hands and feet. It is better to let my brother take care of himself and select suitable people. Remember to report it when the time comes.”
Um?
Hearing this, Feng Yong felt relieved.
This is normal.
Even though it is said to be "taken by oneself", it still needs to be reported and recorded. The so-called suitable manpower means that the person who reports it must not be too careless.
Yizhou Diannong Xiaowei is responsible for supervising the agricultural affairs in Yizhou. He has the right to supervise and report anything he sees or the agricultural affairs in Yizhou.
It sounds very noble, but in fact it is not much different from Wei Cheng, Dian Nongxiao, Hanzhong.
They are all just senior advisors.
It's just that the Diannong Xiaowei of Yizhou is more senior than the Diannong Xiaowei Cheng of Hanzhong. He can wander around and doesn't have to stick to Hanzhong.
But the power in his hands has not increased at all.
From being able to talk about farming in Hanzhong, he was upgraded to being able to talk about farming in Yizhou.
Still the same power that can only be expressed with words but not with hands, so it is considered a minor power?
“Yizhou Diannong Xiaowei, how many officials are there?”
Feng Yong asked.
Although it was a false position, Feng Yong knew that this was the first time Zhuge Yao clearly expressed his opinion of himself to him. The general meaning was that he could find some local buddies.
This is similar to the encouragement given by leaders in later generations to their subordinates: Young man, I am very optimistic about you. I have given you the platform and the opportunity. It depends on whether you can grasp it.
The official hat is very valuable, not to mention that with Zhao Guang and Wang Xunzhuyu in front, the official hat held in the hands of a certain country turtle will have a certain bonus halo.
Even if it is a false position, it is still valuable.
Li Yi saw this very clearly, that's why he was so excited.
“The position of Diannong Xiaowei was created by the prime minister to facilitate farming. My elder brother was the first person to hold this position, so I don’t know much about it. But according to the example of the Diannong Xiaowei Cheng in Hanzhong, there must be left and right Sima.”
Li Yi paused for a moment and then continued, "Furthermore, according to what the Prime Minister said, Yizhou has a vast territory. If Diannong Xiaowei only has left and right Sima, he may not be able to manage it, so there may be some officials below."
Why did the prime minister make it for the convenience of farming? He obviously learned from Cao Cao's old wisdom. Do you think I don't know?
But this is not the point. The point is that there is not much difference between officials and officials at this time. The so-called officials generally refer to the top officials of a certain department, while officials are the officials below the officials who manage specific affairs.
So, what Li Yi said about setting up some officials is actually setting up some officials.
Feng Yong thought in his heart, but his eyes flashed, "So, the Prime Minister has given you a lot of convenience this time."
"That's right." Li Yi couldn't hide his excitement and whispered in a low voice, "If my brother is serious, he will just wait for the court's decree to arrive. I don't know how many people will come to ask for it. Brother, I have to plan this matter carefully."
"So Wenxuan agreed to Fan A, saying that his descendants could become officials?"
Feng Yong frowned, "Even so, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's side will not have a hard time."
Let’s not talk about the identities of Fan A’s disciples and disciples, but Fan A himself. Even if he has some reputation, it is the reputation he got from medicine. How can he become an official so easily?
“Of course I won’t become an official right away.”
Li Yi smiled and said, "Although I have been promised an official position in the Fan family this time, how can a medical worker get an official position for no reason?"
“I just promise that if the Fan family is willing to contribute to Hanzhong, they can change their humble status to a good one. If there are any younger members of the family who stand out, I will recommend them to become officials when opportunities arise in the future.”
It is the simplest thing for Feng Yong to improve his humble status.
Li Yi is the magistrate of Nanxiang County, and it is basically just a matter of one sentence.
But it was originally part of Feng Yong’s plan that the textile workshop had no humble status.
Feng Yong glanced at Li Yi with some surprise, "Wenxuan means to let them improve their registration first, and then let them wait?"
“This is natural, otherwise how could anyone immediately join the officialdom as soon as they get a reformed certificate?”
Li Yi looked like it was natural.
“Do they believe it?”
This shouldn’t be the case. Can you convince an experienced person like Fan A to believe it with just one word from you?
"Other people would not believe it easily," Li Yi smiled evilly, "But my master is kind to them, so Fan A has to come even if he doesn't want to."
"As long as he comes to Hanzhong, won't my brother soon have a few official positions? As soon as the imperial decree comes, they will naturally believe what I say."
“You can’t tell them that!”
Feng Yong still didn’t understand.
"I didn't say I would give it to them this time." Li Yi chuckled, "Since my brother can have a first time, maybe there will be a second time?"
Holy shit!
So you have no intention of fulfilling your promise at all?
Who knows when the second time will be?
Perhaps there will never be a second time in the future?
That’s why Li Yi is so evil! When they take root in Hanzhong, will they still think about returning to Nanzhong?
Besides, in Li Yi’s words, it’s not that I won’t give it to you, I just didn’t find the right opportunity...
Looking at Li Yi's appearance, he can trick people without any obstacles at all.
"Brother, there is no need to worry." Li Yi seemed to have seen what Feng Yong was thinking, "Brother, don't forget, in Nanxiang County, the prime minister has not sent any county officials..."
Feng Yong finally woke up.
At present, the county government, including Li Qiu and Huang Chong, and the rest are all workshop guards. If something happens, they will be temporarily called in to pretend to be yamen servants.
"It's just that Nanxiang County is becoming more and more prosperous now. I'm afraid the Prime Minister may not be as hands-off as he is now."
Feng Yong said thoughtfully.
"But Nanxiang County was established in the hands of a few people like me. Even if the Prime Minister sends others here in the future, the new county magistrate will still have to accept our favor."
Li Yi was not worried at all.
“Besides, there is a textile workshop here, how can the future county magistrate get around my brother?”
Feng Yong glanced at Li Yi and thought that Wenxuan was worthy of being from a wealthy family. This exchange of interests was natural and in line with his status.
Feng Yong nodded, "That's right."
This is not a big talk between the two of them, but a fact.
Even if Li Qiu is transferred to another place in the future, Zhuge Laoyao plans to take Nanxiang into his hands and formally manage it. To put it bluntly, not only the new county magistrate, but also the old demon Zhuge must consider the attitude of Feng Yong and others.
From a desolate place to a prosperous place, everyone can imagine the hardships involved - although it was mainly the hardships of Feng Tubao's slaves.
But even if there are thousands of slaves in hand, not everyone can create this prosperous place.
If it were that simple, then everyone would be catching slaves all over the world to count balls!
Yes, everyone is indeed going all over the world to catch slaves now, but without the clever words and tricks of a certain country bumpkin, ah, some suggestions, where would everyone get this energy?
So it still depends on the person.
I don’t do anything, I just want to reach out and pick peaches. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Besides, since Old Demon Zhuge is fair in dealing with things, he will naturally give some compensation to a few of his people elsewhere.
So when the time comes, if any of Fan A’s disciples and disciples really stand out and are recommended to be low-level officials, it shouldn’t be a difficult task.
“I have Wenxuan’s help, and I don’t know how much trouble has been saved.”
Feng Yongzhan smiled and praised.
“Brother, that’s a compliment.”
Li Yi received Feng Yong's praise and seemed to be extremely satisfied. He was modest about himself but couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Just listening to Li Yi's tone, as if Fan A and others were disapproving of them because they were medical workers, Feng Yong felt a little confused, "Although Li Dangzhi's surname is Li, he is just a medical worker. How can we get help from the Li family in Shu?"
Li Yi is a son of an aristocratic family, so his attitude naturally represents the attitude of most people from aristocratic families towards medical professionals. If you look down on medical workers, why would you lend a helping hand to Li Dangzhi?
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this matter. It seems that the head of the Li family in Guanzhong has been favored by Huayuanhua, and Li Dangzhi is also a member of the Li family in Guanzhong. The Li family in Guanzhong That’s why I’m willing to help Li Dang.”
Feng Yong nodded, "So, the Li family in Guanzhong owes a favor to the Li family in Shuzhong?"
Li Yi smiled and said with some indifference, "It's just a medical worker. Even if I owe it, how much can I owe? It's just for the sake of the same origin, so it's not a big deal to do it casually."
Feng Yong nodded, thinking that there were many legends about Hua Tuo. Maybe he had been to Guanzhong and treated the head of the Li family, so he had a favor.
Seeing that Li Yi's face also had a look of dust, Feng Yong said apologetically, "Wenxuan rushed back from Jincheng, and must have been tired all the way. But I still ask you questions like this, so that you can't rest, It really shouldn’t be.”
"Wenxuan should go and have a rest quickly. Things are not in a hurry. We can talk about anything after Wenxuan has rested."
Li Yi was really tired after traveling such a long distance and talking to Feng Yong so much. He was not pretentious at the moment and nodded and said, "Then I will go down and rest first."
After Li Yi left, Feng Yong sat on the chair and tapped the table with his fingers, looking thoughtful.
If, as Li Yi said, Zhuge Lao Yao only promoted himself to an official position, but asked himself to recommend other subordinate officials, what should Zhao Guang and Wang Xun do?
Could it be that Old Demon Zhuge felt that Zhao Guang and Wang Xun felt that they had no merit, so he hinted that he did not plan to promote Zhao Guang and Wang Xun to their official positions again?
Thinking of this, Feng Yong shook his head, thinking that this didn't make sense.
How could it be possible that Zhao Guang and Wang Xun had no credit? Not only is it there, but it’s also not small.
From Zhu Yejian to Wei Cheng of Hanzhong Diannong School, these two people have always been his right-hand man. He was promoted to Yizhou Diannong School Lieutenant. Logically, they should also be promoted, but Zhuge Lao Yao did not. It is very thought-provoking to determine the left and right Sima.
If it is because you are worried about forming a party for personal gain, then why do you let yourself "take it for yourself"? This is obviously to let yourself start cultivating a team.
Failing to figure this out, Feng Yong couldn’t figure out what Zhuge Lao Yao meant or what Zhuge Lao Yao was thinking, so how could he “get it for himself?”
It would be a huge loss of face if the person who reported it was removed.
Even if Old Demon Zhuge gives himself such a face and accepts all the people he submits, I guess I will be greatly discounted in his heart.
It doesn’t matter to me. At worst, out of sight and out of mind, I go to Nanzhong to be a free farm servant. Anyway, Nanzhong has not been in chaos for decades after the fall of the Han Dynasty. What are you afraid of?
I am afraid that Zhao Guang and Wang Xun will be implicated, but this is what Feng Yong does not want to see in his heart.
Although many people now call him brother, in the eyes of outsiders, only Zhao Guang and Wang Xun are really labeled as country bumpkins.
Needless to say Wang Xun, his father Wang Ping was recommended by Feng Yong, and then he showed his face to the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, and was sent to Nanzhong as the deputy governor.
As for Wang Xun himself, he followed Feng Yong all the way up.
To put it bluntly, even if Feng Yong wanted to die on his own, did something he shouldn't have done, and angered Zhuge Liang, Wang Xun would have jumped out first to take the matter on himself and try to avoid involving Feng Yong.
Because as long as Feng Yong is here, Wang Xun himself will have a chance to rise again.
But once something happens to Feng Yong, it will be a safe thing for Wang Xun to be stepped on.
Even Wang Ping may be implicated.
At least this situation will not change until Wang Ping has made great achievements and has not become a top official in the court or the army.
Even if Wang Ping became the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, he still could not escape the mark left by Feng Yong.
Both generations of father and son have benefited from it, how can it be so easy to clean up?
So the Wang family is bound to Feng Yong, and they are connected by flesh and blood.
As for Zhao Guang, he can now be regarded as the heroic queen of the Han Dynasty.
But this hero is not just because his father is Zhao Yun.
Instead, he received this praise and received little help from Zhao Yun. Zhao Laosi, a **** man, was very **** with the old demon Zhuge. In order to force Feng Yong out, he was even willing to trick his own son Zhao Guang.
Nowadays, Zhao Guang has a lot of credit in one hand, and an enviable money and food in the other. Although this money and food have not yet been cashed in, who doesn't know that textile workshops make money nowadays?
He is also wearing an official hat on his head - although the hat is a bit small at the moment, everyone can foresee that he will definitely change to a bigger hat in the future.
These are all obtained by following Feng Yongcai.
Even his eldest brother Zhao Tong is still struggling to get senior qualifications, and it is obvious that he is not doing as well as he is.
It was okay when Zhao Yun was alive, but if he were to be gone one day, no matter how close Zhao Guang was to Zhao Tong, he would have to establish a new clan somewhere else.
Otherwise, based on the current trend, Zhao Guang will have a lot of money, a high official, and great power as a small clan in the future, while Zhao Tong will be a big clan, except for the empty title of Xijue, and everything else will be inferior to Zhao Guang and face. Where to put it?
The two brothers don’t mind, but what about the next generation? Who can guarantee that they won’t fall out?
So it is only natural for Zhao Guang to reopen a Zhao family.
This is also the favorite thing of ancient people since ancient times.
The branches and leaves are scattered, but the branches are connected with each other.
The Li family in Guanzhong and the Li family in Shuzhong are a typical example.
The relationship may be useful at some point.
