Chapter 1989: Gui Zi Juan appoints people on their merits
The more this situation happened, the more Feng Ziying realized the shortage of talents in his hands.
I suddenly climbed to the position of a fourth-level official, but only in a few short years. The disadvantage of my shallow qualifications and experience became apparent at this time.
Even his classmates are still in the rank of sixth- and seventh-rank officials, and they are still unable to be put to great use for the time being.
As for his subordinates, he worked in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion. At that time in Yongping Mansion, he was still in his infancy, and no one was willing to get close to him. He didn't have much energy to consider this issue, and he was too busy thinking about it. Put it on how to accomplish the things in hand to prove yourself, so there is no need to mention it.
It was only when I arrived at Shuntian Mansion that I began to consciously work hard in this area, but even so, in more than a year, I established a relatively close relationship with Fang Kezhuang, and Fu Shi to a great extent It was with the help of the Jia family that he was able to bring the other party under his command in a relatively short period of time.
It seems that Song Xian is also a usable person, but this guy's initial ambiguous attitude made Feng Ziying a little unhappy, but later it became clear that no one was available, and this guy also took the initiative to get closer, and Feng Ziying reluctantly accepted him, but to say How much trust there is, that’s out of the question.
Furthermore, Song Xian was just a promotion official from the sixth grade, and his grade was a bit lower. In addition, he was only a juren, so even if he wanted to train him, it would take time.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but smile bitterly, hoping to achieve it overnight, but the huge Zhou Dynasty was like a clumsy giant that moved slowly. Every command transmitted from the nerves in the head to the movement of the limbs would appear so lagging and inefficient. This In fact, it is determined by the performance of everyone under this huge administrative structure.
She gave advice to Qi Yongtai, hoping that Qi Yongtai would stand at the height of the cabinet and be able to improve and even innovate these long-standing shortcomings. Feng Ziying thought that she did not have this ability, and Qi Yongtai did not have the courage to bring about a subversive revolution. , it would be good to have an improved innovation.
Without a large group of scholars or officials who support and obey you, you can't even think about being able to show your power and make a decision with just one word.
In the history of the previous life, Zhang Juzheng was able to make the test method a reality. It was only possible after decades of hard work and a special relationship with the emperor. Even so, once he passed away, everything was overturned. Feng Ziying did not have such a story. I thought about it happening to myself.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be in a hurry, there is still plenty of time, but at the same time he feels anxious. Such a step-by-step and slow accumulation makes it difficult for him. Do he really have to wait until he is seventy or eighty to implement all this according to his wishes? Of course this is unacceptable. Even if it takes ten or twenty years, Feng Ziying feels that it is too long.
This tangled mentality has always troubled Feng Ziying, making him sometimes feel that he is going crazy and has to find other ways to relieve this emotion.
To be fair, I have done a good job, but I just underestimated the difficulty of promoting the development of the entire imperial society with one person's power.
I always think that I have a pair of insightful eyes to see the general trend, control of the direction of history, and a strong network of connections, so I can do anything. However, in fact, I seem so helpless under the influence of the general trend. It's just that you can get what you want in a small fight.
You also need to have your own talents. Feng Ziying has a deep understanding of this in Shuntian Mansion.
When Fu Shi is completely at his own disposal, he only needs to leave many things in the house to him and let him know his thoughts and intentions clearly. If Mei Zhiye can do this to Fu Shi, he will be more able to do it, but it is a pity to do so. Less than.
Also in Xianghe, Dacheng, and Dong'an, several classmates may have their own ideas, but in the relationship between boss and classmates, the work they assigned has never been delayed. If someone else , if you change to another state or county, there will be no such smoothness. This is the power of connections.
“Go and find Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong, and I will have a good talk with them.” Feng Ziying thought for a while and then ordered Ruixiang.
The Jia family is finished. In theory, even if Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong can read, it is impossible for such scholars with a reputation of rebelliousness to find a well-connected master. , no one is willing to accept such a disciple.
Even if you pass the Jinshi examination and the three-year political observation period is over, you may be able to serve in important places such as Gyeonggi, Nanzhi, Shandong, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and Huguang, even if it is arranged by the seven chief ministers of the Central Government. , you may be directly arranged to be taken to the prefectures and counties in remote areas of Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, or Shaanxi to work hard. You can imagine how big the gap will be, and the development prospects are even more unpredictable.
Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan are now in such a tragic situation. After experiencing this wave of imprisonment, they may be the most helpless and need encouragement the most. They have no other choice. Choose, give them a hope yourself, and they will cherish and repay it with a hundredfold effort.
Feng Ziying's guess was correct. Jia Huan, Jia Lan and Jia Cong, who came out of prison, seemed particularly depressed and lost because Feng Ziying did not go there personally and could not see Feng Ziying.
As prisoners released on bail, the three of them, Jia Huan, were full of despair about their future fate.
Families of prisoners were not eligible to participate in the Autumn and Spring Competitions. No matter how well they studied, they were excluded due to a question of eligibility. This made the three of them feel deep despair, so much so that even though they were admitted After being released, the mood of Jia Mu, Wang, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong was completely different.
Both Tanchun and Li Wan were helpless to deal with this situation. One was a brother and the other was a biological son, but now he had become such a decadent state. For his sister and mother, it was simply more uncomfortable than what they themselves had suffered.
"Third girl, what should we do? If this continues, I think Brother Huan, Brother Lan and Brother Cong will all be dead." In just a few days, Li Wan almost lost weight. The sweat towel in his hand was twisted and wrinkled.
Seeing her son being taciturn all day long, never leaving the room, except sleeping or sitting by the desk in trance, Li Wan's heart was broken. But she couldn't solve this kind of thing, and even her lover might be helpless. , this is probably because Feng Ziying has never been here during this period.
Isn’t Tanchun worried? It turned out that the arrogant and majestic Jia Huan could no longer be seen, replaced by the silent and thoughtful Jia Huan. After returning from prison, he never wanted to meet or talk to anyone else in the family except himself.
Tanchun knew what Jia Huan was thinking. He hated the Jia family, hated his father, hated his uncle, hated everyone in the Jia family and everything in the Jia family. He felt that if there were no Jia family, he could completely rely on his own ability to survive. He passed the imperial examination, passed the Jinshi examination, and then embarked on a high-spirited official career, but now all this is ruined, ruined by the Jia family.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know what to do." A look of sadness appeared on Tan Chun's face, "Brother Huan has always placed his hope on studying, and he worked extra hard in the academy. He is looking forward to taking the exam for this subject this autumn. He has passed the imperial examination, and the academy is very optimistic about him. They say that he will definitely pass the imperial examination, and he is even very promising to be a Jinshi in the spring of next year, but now..."
Li Wan's eyes were also red, and he wiped away tears, "Isn't it the same for Brother Lan? Now the county examination and government examination have also been delayed. This delay has to be postponed to next year. Now, Brother Lang has nothing to do but cover his head all day long. How can I do this if I just fall asleep and do nothing?"
"Next year, will the family members of prisoners still be eligible to take the exam?" Tan Chun smiled bitterly, "It's okay if it only delays one subject, but what about the future? If they are not allowed to take the exam for the rest of their lives, then Brother Huan and Brother Lan What should I do? Do they all want to live like Brother Bao?"
Li Wan subconsciously said: "How can that be done? It's okay if the jade is useless. Finally, our Jia family has two seeds of reading. How can we waste it like this? Now the Jia family is no longer the Jia family of the past. If we don't study, we will rely on it in the future. What life?”
"But this is not something we can change. The regulations of the imperial court are like this, and even Brother Feng can't change it." Tan Chun sighed, "I don't know how to tell Brother Huan. If Brother Huan had been there earlier, I was making trouble to go find Brother Feng, but now Brother Huan doesn’t even mention it, and he also knows that this matter is not something that Brother Feng can change.”
"Are we just going to watch Huan Ge'er and Lan Ge'er become more depressed and watch their whole lives be ruined?" Li Wan clenched his fists and his eyes were red, "No, I won't let them go no matter what. If Brother Lang continues like this, I will only have him to rely on. Third girl, Brother Huan is also your only brother, don't you want to work hard for him?"
Tan Chun was surprised: "Sister-in-law, of course I want to work hard for Brother Huan, but can this kind of thing be done with our hard work?"
Li Wan took a deep breath and his eyes became firmer: "We were rescued, and then the ancestors, his wife, and Jia Zhenjiarong were released. Have you ever thought about it? Brother Zhen is the legitimate son of Mr. Jing, and Mr. Jing is now a member of the imperial court. The top few imperial prisoners, including the Minister of Household Affairs of the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty, Ziying were able to get him off the hook. I don't believe that Ziying really can't help us. It just depends on whether he is willing to make great efforts. ,…”
Tanchun was stunned, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
"Third girl, you don't have to hide it from me. Are you planning to be Ziying's concubine? Enter Lin Yatou's room?" Li Wan looked at Tan Chun with burning eyes.
