Chapter 382 Volume C: Psychological Adjustment
Feng Ziying’s good mood for returning to Beijing disappeared in just two or three days.
He was questioned by two cabinet ministers, but he was disappointed by their slowness and hesitancy.
Although he also knew that this should be the norm for bureaucrats in this era, the soldiers on the front line could not afford to wait.
Every extra day of waiting will affect the consumption of food and the morale of the soldiers, and the prestige of the court will also be weakened.
Zhang Jingqiu, who has officially taken over as Minister of War, had been talking for a long time.
The new Minister of War asked a lot of questions, and Feng Ziying also answered carefully and seriously. He even mentioned some of his own opinions. Zhang Jingqiu agreed, but he did not come up with many specific measures.
He felt that although the new Minister of War had the emperor's trust, firstly, he was a little less qualified, and secondly, the emperor's thoughts on military affairs had to take other specific factors into consideration, so Emperor Yonglong would rather hide his weakness.
Zhang Jingqiu was once very excited about the idea proposed by Chai Ke and Yang He to regain lost territory and win decisively outside the territory, but he soon calmed down and began to worry about food supplies and the required military expenditures. This is the character who has entered the state of Minister of the Ministry of War. But this is also what the frontline soldiers hate the most.
In two or three days, I met with Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, Zhang Jingqiu, and my supervisor Huang Ruliang, and reported everything that should be reported, but did not get anything useful.
The reason why he did not go to see Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia in advance was because he prioritized business before private matters. Even if this private matter was, it was actually more of a business matter.
Students such as Lian Guoshi, Yang Sichang, Xu Xie, Fang Youdu, Wang Yingxiong, etc. all came to visit one after another. It was inevitable that they all had to listen to the thrilling journey of the Western Expedition to counter the rebellion. Appropriate artistic processing can make this group of students more clear. Remember your outstanding performance in this counter-insurgency campaign.
So far, I have not received a summons from the palace to see the emperor, or to be summoned by the emperor. There is no news yet.
"Finally I've blocked you." He saw Liu Xianglian, who was guarding the door of her house in a white shirt, holding a folding fan and walking back and forth. As soon as she saw him, she suddenly put away the folding fan and hurried over.
"Ziqi and the others all said that they have not seen you in the past few days. They are either in Wenyuan Pavilion, in the Hanlin Academy, or in the Ministry of War. They dare not disturb you. We all know that you are now You are a busy man, but you should still be concerned about the livelihood of your family, right?"
Feng Ziying got out of the car and knew what Liu Xianglian was talking about. She shook her head: "I don't have the time to care about these things. I have been so busy these days that I came here from Mr. Huang and walked away. My mouth is dry, so I’ll go back and take a rest first.”
"Good brother, we can't wait any longer." Liu Xianglian hurriedly grabbed Feng Ziying's arm, "We must go there today. Zi Qi, Ruolan and the others will have trouble sleeping. Such a big business, it's so obvious. It's almost there. If you don't take a look and give an explanation, how can we feel at ease? Even Xue Wenlong knows that he goes to the garden to guard it all day long. Even if it doesn't help, at least he can guard the garden to prevent fires. The theft..."
This group of people has vaguely regarded Feng Ziying as their backbone.
In front of the martial arts theory of martial arts, the singing skills are all first -class. It can be said that it can be said for people to do it, but this drama garden can do it, but it is not possible to rely on these skills.
More than one hundred thousand taels of silver was spent, which is not a small amount for any family, and must be taken seriously.
Even though the Xue family spoke grandly, they were also very cautious on the inside. Xue Pan also ran into the garden a lot this year. Although it didn't have much effect, he was still a member of the family. Where did he go? If you stand and watch but don't talk, the craftsmen working in the garden will always be a little wary.
For Liu Xianglian, this is her wish to combine her hobbies with her livelihood. How can she tolerate failure?
Seeing that Feng Ziying refused to agree and just walked to the corner door, Liu Xianglian did not dare to pull her, so she could only follow him into the corner door.
Over the past year or so, he has witnessed the transformation of this wise brother, from a scholar to a scholar, from a scholar to a scholar, and then he quickly went to the Western Xinjiang to make achievements.
It is said that during the counter-rebellion, he single-handedly left the grassland and entered Ganzhou. With his skills, he convinced the leader of the Tatars in the grassland. When Ganzhou was in chaos, he turned the tide and repelled the rebels' attack on Ganzhou. Finally, he persuaded the rebels to Anyway, the leader made the border rebellion that had the entire Zhou Dynasty panic calm down within half a year.
Even in the capital city, there are widespread rumors, almost touting Feng Ziying as a god.
Although there are some exaggerations here, Liu Xianglian also knows that there must be many stories, and it is probably a good subject even if it is made into a play.
Feng Ziying really doesn’t want to have to worry about such things.
The trip to Western Xinjiang in the past six months has indeed caused some changes in his mentality and vision.
Seeing helplessly that these two towns fell because of the rebellion triggered by the greed and incompetence of Shi Guangjue and others, the losses in this process were more than tens of millions? I feel powerless to face all this.
In the past few days, he had been thinking about how to launch the debt-raising strategy as soon as possible.
However, both Ye Xianggao and Zhang Jingqiu were full of fear and worry about such new things. Even scholars such as Huang Ruliang, who were concerned with their own interests, were hesitant and hesitant.
His attitude is quite positive, but when it comes to specific strategies, he always subconsciously wants to think about it again and take another look, which makes Feng Ziying both helpless and sad.
In this era, if you want to reform, you really need to have the ability to know the world. Imagine how great the resistance will be to Wang Anshi's reform. He is still the prime minister, and even has the support of the New Party and the emperor, but it will eventually fall into the sand.
Now that I am just a small character who can gain access to various forces by chance, it is really difficult to push forward such a large carriage in the Great Zhou Dynasty and change history.
But the problem is that the changes and development of world history will not give us much time. If we do not seize the opportunity to act, internal and external factors will probably make the whole situation more dangerous in the future.
Before he came back, he had thought about the many difficulties he might face, but now he discovered that the biggest obstacle was the conservative mentality and conceptual awareness of officials and people at home and abroad. They were subconsciously unwilling to accept changes and were afraid of all the consequences brought about by changes. kind of "turbulence" and new things.
In Feng Ziying’s view, this is actually a static state of mind caused by the degradation of learning ability, and the fear that one is unable to cope with things that one has never seen or experienced before.
At this time, he had only a few days to go until his sixteenth birthday, and he didn't even have much thought about teasing the pretty maids and maids at home, but Liu Xianglian still came to ask him to care about the theater?
Liu Xianglian did not dare to stop Feng Ziying, so she could only follow Feng Ziying into the house and then into his yard.
“Ziying, are you afraid that your official duties are not going well?” Liu Xianglian has been outside for several years, and he still has the ability to judge the situation. He knows that Feng Ziying is probably not in a good mood, but he is not afraid.
“Well, it’s a little worse than expected.” Feng Ziying said casually.
"Ziying, if you think so, you are already outstanding and beyond the reach of your peers. What else can you do?" Liu Xianglian thought that Feng Ziying was dissatisfied with the reward from the court, which was why there was a gap, so she couldn't bear it. He persuaded the other party: "Everyone in the capital is talking about you, saying that you single-handedly broke into the grassland, fought a **** road, and made the Tatars finally surrender. Even the craftsmen in our yard are saying, …”
Feng Ziying finally couldn't help laughing, "It's such an exaggeration. If I were to be that capable, wouldn't I become a glaring King Kong and become invulnerable?"
"Ziying, what I say is true. Don't believe it. Take it from me. If everything goes well for you, it may not be a good thing. You are only sixteen years old. You will be destroyed by the wind. In other words, sometimes it’s a good thing that things don’t go your way.”
Liu Xianglian’s words made Feng Ziying slightly moved.
I still underestimate the mentality of people in this era, and I am always willing to use the mentality of people in the original world to figure it out. I feel that as long as it is good and profitable, everyone should recognize and support it, but people in this era may not .
The fear and worry about the unknown and uncertainty are deeply rooted in the minds of these officials. They would rather follow the steps and maintain the status quo. If possible, they hope that the world would be best to stand still and everyone to live by the rules.
It’s a pity that this will not be the case both externally and internally. No one can avoid or stop all this, and everyone has to face this era of rapid changes.
But Liu Xianglian's words still made Feng Ziying feel much better.
They are right, what else do you want? I am only sixteen years old. Maybe in a few days I will be awarded the position of editor of the Hanlin Academy. This is already the pinnacle of tens of thousands of Zhou Dynasty scholars.
At this position, considering my age, it is really not a dream to join the cabinet and become the prime minister.
Don't be anxious, take your time, haste makes waste. Feng Ziying warned herself that the world is still beautiful, and she is more kind to herself. There is no need to stress herself too much. We must learn to adjust psychologically. Have time.
His mood also became happy. He took a new cup of tea delivered by Jin Chuan'er, took a sip, felt the sweetness and happiness of life, and nodded: "Brother Liu, what you said makes so much sense, I don't even know it." That's right, let's drink a cup of tea first, let me take a breather, and then go take a look in the garden."
