Chapter 203 These officials should be reused
A group of officials surrounded Xiang Changlin, chattering about Yang Deli's sabotage of Cangbu...
Yan Shuo and a group of people stood on the other side. They belonged to the neutral faction and felt that although Yang Deli hated him, he did the right thing.
"I'm afraid that Langzhong will not be able to stand it anymore."
Yan Shuo saw that Xiang Changlin's eyes flickered, and he knew that Xiang Changlin was about to make a decision.
"This matter..." Xiang Changlin wanted to tell Yang Deli not to wander around in the future, but he couldn't say that!
Yang Deli took the initiative to find loopholes in the warehouse department. What kind of spirit is this? Proactive work ethic. If such a petty official is dealt with by him, someone will stab him with a knife for this reason later.
—Xiang Changlin suppressed the diligent and capable officials in Cangbu!
Only this one can make him irreversible.
Being an official is difficult!
Xiang Changlin couldn't help sighing, and then said lightly: "Yang Deli has been a palm guard for a while, right?"
In an instant, the officials in Cangbu all looked happy.
"Yes!" A small official blurted out, "It's April and two days."
Glanced at Chang Lin, thinking that he could tell the length of Yang Deli's tenure casually, which showed his intentions.
The other person shook his head, "It's April 3rd, and when he comes, it counts as a day."
"Hey! That's right, it's because someone is not rigorous."
Why! One person can tell the length of Yang Deli's tenure, which can be understood as deliberate, but the other person is more precise. What does this mean?
It shows that Yang Deli's words and deeds in Cangbu have aroused public outrage.
Sighing in Changlin's heart, he said: "Cangbu has just been short of a Lingshi, let Yang Deli go."
Everyone couldn't help being overjoyed, they cupped their hands and said, "Xiang Langzhong is wise."
"Since Mr. Xiang took charge of the warehouse department, our warehouse department has been thriving and has been praised by the superiors many times. As a subordinate, we are honored."
Everyone flattered for a while, making Xiang Changlin dumbfounded.
So Yang Deli has caused public outrage so far? So much so that everyone is eager to drive this guy away.
Yang Deli came back later, holding a huge mouse in his hand, which was longer than the entire arm of an adult if counted including the tail.
This kind of mouse dare not even mess with cats, otherwise they will stutter back.
"what is this?"
The sergeant guarding the gate of the imperial city was surprised when he saw such a big mouse.
Yang Deli said: "Shuo Shu."
He carried the mouse all the way into the household department, causing a burst of exclamation.
When he arrived at Cangbu, he said to Menzi, "Let's have a drink together later."
Menzi was stunned, "Are you going to eat mice?"
Yang Deli said naturally: "This mouse is mostly lean meat, and it tastes delicious when roasted."
It turned out that when he and his cousin were living together, they had caught mice several times and ate them. I felt sick at first, but I can eat Guanyin soil when I am hungry.
After coming down a few times, he actually felt that the taste of rat meat was really good.
No, he caught this big rat in the warehouse today, and he was going to bring it back to clean it up, and find a place to roast it to eat.
As soon as they entered the warehouse, everyone was quite surprised to see the mouse, but their expressions were a little strange.
"Yang Deli!"
Yan Shuo waved, and when Yang Deli approached, he said sympathetically, "I'm looking for you from the doctor."
Yang Deli went to watch the house, the clerk saw the mouse and frowned and said, "Are you going to bring the mouse in?"
"Yes!" Yang Deli stretched out his hand and pinched the mouse's neck. Once he squeezed harder, the mouse finished playing.
He threw the mouse under the window casually, and took it away when he was ready to come out.
After entering, Yang Deli saw that Xiang Changlin was in a daze, and saluted.
"It's Yang Deli!" Xiang Changlin thought of his mentality when he first became an official.
At that time, he was full of ambition and wanted to make a career.
But in the end, it was grinded into a round stone in the officialdom, extremely round.
He said with emotion: "People, you have to follow the trend."
After speaking, he waved his hand.
Yang Deli was at a loss. After going out, the little official said: "From now on, you are Ling Shi."
Zhang Gu is in charge of the warehouse, he is considered a half coolie. And Ling Shi is a literary official, copying documents and account books, and occasionally participating in the calculation of accounts or something, this is a pure knife and pen official.
Yang Deli said happily when he heard it: "Do you write all day long?"
The little official said sympathetically: "Yes!"
Yang Deli has made achievements in the position of Zhang Gu, and now he has been transferred. He will be stuck in the position of Ling Shi in the future, and he will not be able to stand up for at least three to five years.
Why?
Because everyone in the warehouse department called this guy a beating, and he has become an official, so don't even think about finding a chance for promotion.
Yang Deli blushed with excitement, "Ping'an said that a certain character needs to be practiced, and I was looking for a place. It's great."
He was so excited that he even forgot about the mouse.
Today is sunny.
Since the afternoon, Xiang Changlin has been feeling that the smell is not right.
"What's the smell?"
He sniffed, feeling weird.
Waiting until the afternoon, he walked out of the duty room and stretched himself.
"A lot of ants!"
Ants on the ground are going to the left.
Is this ants moving?
Ants move, heavy rain is coming.
Xiang Changlin looked up at the clear sky and thought it was not raining, so he followed the ants.
A huge mouse was lying there, covered with all kinds of bugs and ants.
…
"Peace, so-and-so was promoted today."
Back home in the afternoon, Yang Deli talked about today's assignment.
"This is really a promotion." Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Congratulations, cousin."
But looking back, Jia Pingan felt that this was wrong.
Yang Deli can play a greater role in the position of Zhang Gu, while Ling Shi's duty is to copy, which can be called a human typewriter. Such a position is not suitable for Yang Deli.
But Ling Shi may not be unable to stand up.
Compared with Zhang Gu, Ling Shi has stepped up to a higher level.
so…
Jia Ping'an turned around and went to look for Li Ji.
"The last time Jingye said that Gao Kan was good to you?" Li Ji, the left servant, was also very entangled in what he did, and was stabbed all over his body by all kinds of open and dark arrows in the small circle.
In history, Li Ji couldn't handle it after a short time, so he resigned directly.
If you don’t leave, he won’t be able to leave.
This shows how powerful the small circle is.
"It's just some suggestions about Chebi Khan. Gao Lang will find some merits."
Jia Pingan looked very humble.
It's rare for young people to be so calm.
Li Ji was very satisfied, and asked casually: "What are you doing today?"
Li Ji has a lot of things to do. As the prime minister in charge of the six departments, there are more than ten people standing outside waiting to report to him.
Jia Pingan smiled and said: "It's okay, I just heard that some officials in the Sixth Department like to cover up the scandals in the headquarters. I'm thinking, if these are used by others..."
He couldn't directly ask Li Ji to take care of his cousin, it was out of reach.
Do you think it is appropriate for a prime minister to take care of a low-level official?
When he said this, even Li Ji would think he was frivolous.
Li Ji nodded, "I know."
The small circle is aggressive now, and they have a lot of people in the six departments.
He had long wanted to find an opportunity to clean up, but he couldn't find an excuse.
Jia Ping'an's words gave him an idea.
The officials below like to cover up and not deal with the problems found, so that it is not considered a mistake. But now that Li Ji is in charge of Shangshu Province, if one day Changsun Wuji and others find out these problems under the cover, it will be Li Ji's fault.
Jia Ping’an hinted that there are quite a few such things in six volumes. If Li Ji takes the initiative to find out one or two, and use thunderous means...can the game be broken?
At least one gap can be torn!
Li Ji nodded slightly. He has always had this idea, but he couldn't make up his mind. This is how he was forced to step down by the small circle in history.
It took courage for Xiao Jia to make this suggestion. Once he thought it was aggressive, the relationship between the two would change. But he still said it out, this is nothing out of the ordinary.
Looking back, I need to help him more.
Thinking of this, Li Ji's mind was filled with various thoughts...
…
Yang Deli changed the value room and worked with several Lingshi.
It is his duty to copy the clerical accounts.
Yang Deli's handwriting... Jia Ping'an taught it for a long time, and he practiced hard at home, but he only looked correct, which is similar to those children's handwriting.
After copying the first document and handing it in, Yang Deli saw the angry look of the principal Gao Jin, and wondered if he copied it wrong?
Turning her head, Gao Jin went to look for Xiang Changlin, "Xiang Changlin, look at this."
Looking at the document to Chang Lin, he couldn't help being angry, "This word is written rigidly and looks lifeless, who wrote it?"
A human-shaped typewriter also has to write characters that are pleasing to the eye.
The reason why the first emperor liked Chu Suiliang was because of his handwriting. Asking him to draft imperial edict documents is really a work of art.
Gao Jin sighed: "It's Yang Deli. Xiang Lang, get him away."
"Ahem! Take a look again." Xiang Changlin looked at the document again, nodded and said, "It's clear, it's clear at a glance, not bad."
Gao Jin looked at him in disbelief...
What about ethics?
But in order to put Yang Deli, the plague god, in order to put Yang Deli down, morality is a fart!
The days just slipped by.
After a few days in the new position, Yang Deli liked the job more and more.
How great it is to be able to practice calligraphy!
He copied it very carefully, and even read it out.
"...rewarding Baoying County King Song three thousand..."
"No!"
Ling Shi beside frowned, "Shut up!"
Copying needs to be quiet, Yang Deli muttered while copying, the voice is very small, everyone can accept it. But speaking is not enough.
Yang Deli looked at the document carefully, got up and went out.
"Master Gao."
He found Gao Jin, the head of Shangguan Cang Department.
Gao Jin raised her head, and the impatience in her eyes immediately smoldered, "What's the matter?"
Yang Deli handed over the document, "Master Gao, the Duke of Baoying County was about to be fined 5,000 guan by His Majesty, but within ten days, how could he be rewarded another 3,000 guan? I feel something is wrong."
After the last incident, Jia Ping'an told his cousin that in a word, the emperor hated Wang Song deeply, and if it wasn't possible, he wished he could send his whole family to Lingnan.
Such a person, how could the emperor reward him day and night?
Gao Jin glanced at the document, "It's written here in black and white, what do you question?"
Yang Deli blushed, "Master Gao, Your Majesty is wise and mighty, how could you change the order?"
Ahem!
Everyone knows about these things, it’s nothing more than a small circle of people who made a small contribution to Wang Song, and then attached it to the roster of a group of officials and dignitaries who reported their merits. Generally, the emperor would not look carefully at the small amount.
This is a mixed reward.
If it is the emperor who has to check every detail carefully, such things cannot be concealed. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang in the future.
But Li Zhi has just been enthroned for a short time. Recently, he has been busy learning about the situation of officials and the specific situation in various places. He is very busy every day. How can he read these documents carefully when they are reported.
Who cares!
Gao Jin sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to touch such things, otherwise the small circle would kill him.
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "This is not your business, go back and do things!"
But Yang Deli poked his neck and said: "This is national wealth, why can't I ask?"
Gao Jin got angry, pointed outside and shouted: "Get out!"
"Get out of the way!"
Someone was shouting outside, and then came the voice of Hubu servant Zhou He, which sounded very soft.
"British Lord, please look, this is the place where the Director of Regime Kurabe is."
It turned out to be a British official who came to inspect?
Gao Jin quickly sat upright.
"Look, old man."
As soon as the words fell, Li Ji walked in accompanied by Zhou He.
Yang Deli stood with his hands tied, Gao Jin stood up, "I have seen the British Duke."
Li Ji nodded, picked up the paperwork on the case table and looked at it.
Zhou He introduced at the side: "The account department has been busy these few days, and some things have been transferred to the warehouse department. This is the account of the recent reward, and it will be completed and sent to Duzhi."
Li Ji nodded, he would not read such documents carefully.
A country is a huge machine. What the superiors have to do is to make good use of people and grasp the general direction. If you have to ask about trivial matters, it is not wisdom, but it is indistinguishable from the serious.
Yang Deli looked at the document in his hand, Gao Jin was worried that he would light a cannon, so he shouted: "Yang Deli, get out!"
This place is full of bosses, what are you doing here, a small official? Be a goalkeeper?
Yang Deli was silently preparing to go out.
Yang Deli?
Li Ji had never met Yang Deli, but he knew that Jia Ping'an's cousin was working as a small official in Cangbu.
He glanced at Yang Deli, thought of Jia Pingan's hard work in making plans for him, and said, "Come here."
Yang Deli pointed to himself with a look of astonishment.
is a fool.
This discovery made Li Ji even more joyful, "I ask you, what is the most important thing in Cangbu?"
Yang Deli said: "Mr. Ying, I think that the most important thing for the warehouse department is to take good care of the warehouse for Datang, without losing a penny. Do a good job in the accounts, not a penny."
Be concise and to the point.
But it refers directly to the core functions of the warehouse department. Although the words are rough, the truth is interlinked.
Li Ji felt that Yang Deli was not bad, so he stretched out his hand, "What kind of document is that?"
Gao Jin felt chills all over her body, her eyelids were twitching, and said with a forced smile: "My lord, the lower officials know about this matter..."
Li Ji is a famous general, and he felt something wrong when he heard it. He glanced at Gao Jin, and said indifferently: "I do things... Do I still need you to teach me?"
In an instant, Gao Jin's armpit was wet with sweat!
Zhou He also felt some fierce aura, so he glanced at Gao Jin, which was also cold.
Li Ji took the document, and Yang Deli said: "Mr. Ying, I feel something is wrong."
"Oh!" Li Ji's voice was warm, "Tell me."
Yang Deli pointed to a place in the document and said: "Please look, the British lord, this Baoying County lord was fined 5,000 guan by His Majesty a few days ago, why did he reward him with 3,000 guan? Ping An said that His Majesty is wise and powerful, so His Majesty will definitely not change the order overnight."
Li Ji saw it, and was overjoyed.
Jia Ping'an suggested that he find an entry point from the six films and give a blow to the small circle.
He has been inspecting the six departments in the past few days, just to find this entry point.
No matter how timid the emperor is, he will not change his orders overnight, otherwise, what is the majesty of the emperor?
So this matter is mostly someone fishing in troubled waters, and it is a small circle of people.
Isn't this a ready-made entry point?
What a Yang Deli!
What a Jia Pingan.
One of the two brothers suggested, the other found the mistake, and found an opportunity for Li Ji to make a move.
Thinking of this, Li Jiwen asked, "Who did you report this to?"
This is asking knowingly.
Li Jihe's gaze, as soon as he came in, he found Gao Jin's nervousness and Yang Deli's depression.
This is going to take advantage of the trend.
Yang Deli was at a loss, but remembered what his cousin told him: When you don’t know how to speak, tell the truth.
"Someone is Ling Shi. While transcribing this document today, a certain person discovered this and came to report to Master Gao."
Gao Jinqiang smiled and said: "Your official...I wanted to..."
Once the gentle Li Ji decides to do something, he won't hesitate a bit.
He went back immediately.
Gao Jin thought Yang Deli didn't take the opportunity to file a complaint just now, so she was kinder to him, but a warning is indispensable.
When he arrived at the duty room, the historians got up one after another.
Gao Jin said solemnly: "Copying is just copying. As for whether there are mistakes or not, that is a matter elsewhere. Don't do it for me."
He glanced at everyone, everyone knew that this was a warning to Yang Deli.
Yang Deli lowered his head, feeling that he was right!
Gao Jin said coldly: "Next time if something like this happens again, you will be severely punished!"
Yang Deli's eyes were red, and he raised his head and said, "Master Gao, I did not make a mistake in this matter."
I found a problem and reported it to the superior. Yang Deli's procedure was correct.
"But this is not your business, you have exceeded your authority, understand?" Gao Jin couldn't help cursing: "If you don't want to do it, get out of the warehouse and find your cousin."
He was full of anger, and it broke out at this moment, scolding Yang Deli bloody.
Out of breath, people feel comfortable.
At noon, Yang Deli was sitting alone in Cangbu's small cafeteria, and no one paid attention to him.
But Gao Jin is surrounded by officials.
Xiang Changlin saw this scene, but he didn't care.
As an official, what you need is to control the overall situation, and toss about the following things.
Even if Yang Deli is tossed away, it is a good thing for him, and Jia Pingan will not hold grudges.
The small cafeteria in Cangbu naturally has rich food, Xiang Changlin ate a piece of mutton and found it extremely delicious.
Life is so beautiful.
"Oh no!"
A small official rushed in.
frowned at Chang Lin: "What's the matter?"
The little official said with a pale face: "Mr. Ying was furious just now, and Chen Xiao, a doctor in the Ministry of Jin, was arrested."
Damn it!
This is an earthquake-like change for Hubu!
"Why?" Xiang Changlin lost his appetite.
The little official said: "Earlier, the British government found out that someone had added someone to the list of rewards without permission. Chen Xiao, the doctor of the Ministry of Finance, didn't report it. He sent the list down, and was almost taken away by someone."
What courage!
The officials couldn't help taking a breath.
But Xiang Changlin knew that these things were not isolated, but no one had ever uncovered them.
The British Duke has been dormant for a long time, is it time to do something?
He quickly recalled that he had made a mistake recently.
"somebody is coming."
Then an official came in, and everyone recognized him as someone next to Li Ji.
The official glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "The British Duke said that this matter is bad, and he will report it to His Majesty. In addition, this matter happened in the Ministry of Finance, but it was the Ministry of Warehouse who found out.".
The official said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs has countless histories of orders, and there are no achievements in the past. Some people complained that the higher-ups did not pay attention to the history of orders, but if you want the upper officials to pay attention to them, you must work hard."
This is the opening line.
Ling Shi present felt as if his heart was on fire.
Lingshi is copying, how to make merit? That's just a resume.
So in their opinion, it means standing up and talking without back pain.
The official continued: "Some Lingshi are serious in doing things, and they can be an example."
who is it?
Everyone can't help but look around.
Official asked: "Who is Yang Deli?"
In an instant, all eyes were on Yang Deli.
The official said: "Yang Deli is serious in his work, and found something wrong when he copied it. The British public said that the Ministry of Households should use this kind of officials more."
Gao Jin was dumbfounded.
The small cafeteria was silent.
