Chapter 2332 Gui scroll is densely woven and has strong momentum
“So this year, are we going to other places to pay New Year’s greetings?” Feng Ziying now has to ask about the arrangements at home.
Since I was not at home, Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu should discuss it and then report it to my mother and the others for further processing. I was busy leaving and didn't mention it, and I didn't ask about it when I came back, which was an oversight.
"Of course I went. The three grandma and the wives discussed it, and in the name of the master and uncle, they sent people to each house..." Yuanyang recalled, "people like Mr. Qi Ge, King Zhongshun, King Zhonghui, Zhang Shangshu, Huang Shangshu, Qiao Youdu Yushi, Guan Shangshu, Cui Shangshu, Chai Shilang, Han Shilang all sent people to their houses..."
No matter how close the Feng family is to these families, the Spring Festival visit is indispensable. Especially in Feng Ziying's absence, this kind of human relationship needs to be reflected even more. In addition to these teachers and colleagues, some seemingly not so Important or less close relationships also need to be consolidated and deepened through these human interactions.
For example, the two current mountain chiefs and presidents of Qingtan Academy, some colleagues who were originally in the Hanlin Academy, and the old ministries in the three sides and four towns who have been transferred back to Beijing and are idle in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, these all need to be taken into consideration.
“Are these the only people?” Feng Ziying frowned.
Yuanyang seemed to be aware of Feng Ziying's dissatisfaction and quickly shook her head: "Of course it's more than that. Just the list of people who need to be contacted and New Year greetings has been discussed for a long time by the three grandmothers and wives. They should have taken everything into consideration. I still have the specific list of names, but I didn’t bring them with me right now, so I might as well go and get them for you.”
“Okay, there’s no need for that right now.” Feng Ziying waved her hand, “I mainly want to see who comes to visit our house right now.”
It is not necessarily the person who is waiting for you that you need to continue to contact and have a close relationship with, but this at least represents an attitude and a tendency of the other person. You can also screen and compare here.
"Guo Yaosheng? Which family is this from?" Feng Ziying seemed a little confused when she saw the name on the roster. She had some impressions, but she couldn't remember it.
The gift list is somewhat interesting, including two strong horses and some miscellaneous gifts, including two lapis lazuli and a piece of amber.
A strong horse is nothing, but lapis lazuli and amber are not too expensive in Hexi, but they are quite expensive in the capital city. After all, these are items produced in the border areas and even outside the territory. They are rare in the mainland. Rareness is valuable, but wealthy people are not fashionable for such foreign objects. On the contrary, rich families are very rare about these things, so whether they are valuable or not depends on who the customer is.
"My servant still has some impressions. He has a beard and a red face. He speaks with a foreign accent, which is somewhat similar to the accents of the second and third aunts. He seems to know Mrs. You and was brought here by Mrs. You..." Yuanyang frowned and thought hard, then It's something of a memory.
And Youjia Su Shi? Feng Ziying was stunned, the accent in Hexi?
Feng Ziying had some impressions. He was the general in Ganzhou Town who fought with him against Liu Baichuan and Liu Dongyang's attack. He was a colleague with He Zhisheng. He was seriously injured in the first battle. He had a deep impression. However, after he left Ganzhou, he also specially asked someone to help him. I went to greet him, but there was not much contact after that. It has been a few years. It seems that this guy has not visited in the past few years. Of course, it may be because it is too far away, but what is the reason for visiting this year?
"Well, I understand, Jin Chuan'er, go and ask Yu Chuan'er to find his famous post, and I'll take a look." In addition to the name, the famous post also contains some implicit language, which may not necessarily be apparent at first glance. You can understand clearly, but according to the situation, you can know some hidden meanings.
There must be some other intention behind this, but Feng Ziying doesn't care.
He was willing to make connections with officers from these border towns. Didn't his father accumulate connections step by step in this way?
However, my current conditions are much better than those of my father. He is not only a civil servant who was born in the imperial examination, but also a martial artist. He also has the status of the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, which is both civil and military. It can be said that he is good at winning people's hearts and making connections. This is a good time, which is one of the main reasons why everyone is willing to be a Beijing official. Compared with the narrow contact area in the local area, a Beijing official, of course, refers to a Beijing official who has a certain amount of power and rich experience. In terms of network resources, It will be much thicker.
Not to mention anything else, Bing Jing and Tan Jing are both much richer.
Feng Ziying continued to flip through the pages, and the more she read, the more frightened she became. Many names that she had no memory of appeared on the list. Even if her place of origin was marked, she still had no memory. She still had to find the name card and examine it carefully. Know the origin.
Of course, there must be many people who have never met each other before, but who want to make a name for themselves and leave an impression on the Feng family. They are officials, businessmen, and clan members. There are all these, and they need to be carefully screened and understood.
The gifts were quite generous, including specialties from the south of the Yangtze River and valuable precious things. One was specially given to Lin Daiyu. It was obvious that Jia Yucun also understood that his status as a female student in the government was no longer what it used to be.
This is a character with an agile mind, who lives a very nourishing life both in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" and in this world.
Of course, in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", this guy ended up in jail because of the fight with his disciples, but that was due to political strife, which does not mean that this guy is not good.
In this life, at least this guy has performed well. Even Nanjing did not change the prefect of Jinling who was right under his nose. This is quite extraordinary.
You must know that Jia Yucun was not part of Prince Yi Zhong’s party before, and had little connection with Zhen Yingjia, Tang Binyin, Jia Jing and others. Prince Yi Zhong also needed many important positions to reward those who served him, but he did not touch the prefect of Jinling. Jia Yucun is enough to show how extraordinary this guy is.
However, it seems that Jia Yucun is also aware that the entire Zhou Dynasty is about to undergo major changes this year. Whether it is Jiangnan, Huguang, or the North and the border, the situation will usher in drastic changes. The puppet dynasty in Nanjing can still survive. How long it will take before we need to put a question mark, so it is also appropriate to prepare for a rainy day. Picking up this line of our own and even closer contact is probably Jia Yucun's top priority.
Feng Ziying doesn’t mind strengthening contact with this guy. In fact, this guy has already expressed his sincerity to the court and wrote a letter of surrender.
Of course, this situation is also very common. There are many certificates of allegiance and loyalty sent to the hands of important ministers in the imperial court. They all need to continue to stay in Jiangnan and are unwilling to resign, but they also need to make it clear to the imperial court. People with bad attitudes will adopt this opportunistic approach to achieve their goals.
However, those who can be qualified to send letters must be important ministers and important figures in the court who can speak up. Generally speaking, most of the cabinet ministers and seven ministers are ministers. For officials at the level of minister, they must be senior or Only those who are quite influential can do so. Feng Ziying did not expect that she would gradually begin to enter this sequence.
Sighing in her heart, Feng Ziying’s expression didn’t change much, and her eyes continued to move on the roster. Who else is there?
Xie Wenli, Xu Huanshan, Hou Ziyu.
Feng Ziying was in a daze, and all the old things in Yongping Mansion came to mind. In fact, it had only been a few years since she left Yongping Mansion. She calculated with her fingers that it was only more than three years. She stayed in Yongping Mansion. The time was not long, less than two years in total, but the two years in Yongping Mansion were extremely important to me, allowing me to understand how to serve as an official in the "grassroots government" at the prefecture level.
Xie Wenli was the magistrate of Luanzhou at that time, Xu Huanshan was the magistrate of Lulong County, and Hou Ziyu was the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture. It should be said that these three officials had more contacts with each other during their tenure as the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture.
These three are also typical local snake characters.
It cannot be said that they are colluding with the local gentry. After all, compared with the officials in Leting and Changli, the two magistrates, Xie Wenli and Xu Huanshan, can still maintain a reasonable attitude and are still supportive of the affairs in the government.
After all, the local gentry in Yongping Prefecture was very powerful. Even when he served as a co-president of the Imperial Academy, he had difficulties at the beginning. If the Mongolian invasion did not take the opportunity to open up the situation, I am afraid that the follow-up would not be so smooth.
Although these two people have a close relationship with the local gentry, they also use various means to beat and intimidate the local gentry. It is much better than the situation in Leting and Changli where they are completely wrapped up in a mess and collude.
Hou Ziyu was born in Juren and had some connections in the government. At first, he got along with Feng Ziying on a normal basis. However, as Feng Ziying became more and more powerful and even the prefect Zhu Zhiren actively cooperated, he wisely moved closer to Feng Ziying.
Two people like Xie Wenli and Xu Huanshan can be regarded as characters close to Feng Ziying in the later years of Yongping Mansion. However, Feng Ziying's time in Yongping Mansion was too short. When the relationship between these people and Feng Ziying became closer, Feng Ziying left. , so even Feng Ziying felt a little regretful.
Fortunately, he was succeeded by Lian Guoshi, who could be considered to be in the same line with his own policies. However, the policies could be continued in the same line as Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, but the personal connections could not be continued.
Feng Ziying did not expect that he could get close to him in two years. After he arrived in Shuntian Mansion, these people came to visit him during the holidays, but they just walked around normally.
But this time when looking at the gift list, it seems that it is not that simple, especially since these three people almost came together. What does this mean?
Feng Ziying looked at the three sumptuous gift lists and was a little lost for a moment.
