Outside Zhuangzi, the wind and snow are continuous.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

The cook outside was already preparing dinner, and under the shed in the courtyard, several cooks were roasting a whole sheep.

Then more than a dozen beautiful maidservants entered the house with fragrant tea and Repa, because there was no one for a long time, and there was still some damp smell in the room.

The maidservants put on the incense box, the incense burner, and the bottle, these three things are called the three things of the furnace and bottle, and the large families are specially used to smoke incense and drive away the smell.

Gu Zhixian took great pains, and then he ordered his subordinates to carry a book of accounts for Lin Yanchao to look at.

Lin Yanchao rested for a while, took a sip of hot tea, and then Sun Chengzong and Qiu Mingshan, the two henchmen, took a look at the accounts first.

The account books that Gu Zhixian showed to Lin Yanchao were all used by the river workers last year, as well as the budget of the river workers this year.

After he read it, after confirming that it was correct, he wrote it off to Gu Zhixian on the spot, and as for the reasonable budget of Yucheng County's river work this year, he also agreed to estimate it to the imperial court on his behalf.

After Lin Yanchao read the account, he pointed out a few places, all of which were unreasonable.

Gu Zhixian was sweating profusely and was uneasy.

Lin Yanchao saw Gu Zhixian like this, and said with relief: "Business is official, Gu Zhixian doesn't need to be so nervous. ”

"Yes." What Gu Zhi County Zhilin Yanchao pointed out was reasonable, and he did not turn a blind eye because of his dedication, which is really a clear distinction between public and private.

Then the whole sheep was served, and the maidservants entered the house with the food boxes, and the fragrance was fragrant.

Lin Yanchao didn't take a look, but said to Gu Zhixian: "Although there is no shortage of silver in the River Engineering Department at the moment, the county's estimate this year is still not to be false." Last year, there were also unclear accounts, and this money will not be written off for you. ”

"The lower official should be damned." Gu Zhixian's body was sweating like mud.

There was indeed something unclear in his accounts, and his thoughts that he tried to stammer were also seen through by Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "It's good to have a number in my heart, what I want is not an honest but useless official, but an official who can really do things." ”

"Among the counties in this prefecture this year, Ru County has reported the most use of river control, but it has also made the most outstanding political achievements. Your political achievements, I see in my eyes, this year's appraisal will be recommended to Fu Zhao, you have a number in your heart, for the official to move every three years, it's not impossible. ”

Gu Zhixian said gratefully when he heard this: "The lowly post knocks on Sima Cultivation, this problem is false, and the lowly post will make up for it by himself." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was comfortable to deal with smart people.

"Although these thousands of taels of silver are not much, one tael and one penny are all taken from the people's taxes, taken from the people, used for the people, you should be cautious!"

After saying that everyone had dinner, Lin Yanchao left Yucheng County the next day.

Sun Chengzong and Lin Yanchao sat in the same carriage. Sun Chengzong was a little sullen, and Lin Yanchao saw it and asked, "Why didn't the young rope say anything?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Dong Weng, although this Gu Zhi County has outstanding political achievements, it has a loss of integrity. Why is it that Dong Weng, an official, ranks first among the county river officials this year. ”

Qiu Mingshan said on the side: "This rotten Confucian opinion. Dong Weng employs people, only talents, and governing the river is a merit, what is the use of Xiaode? Gu Zhi County's ability to control the river is a great achievement, and a great achievement is a great virtue. ”

Lin Yanchao looked at Qiu Mingshan and said in his heart, this person has a very high understanding, and he is very skilled in using the sophistry method he has learned.

Sun Chengzong said: "No, people with both ability and political integrity can be called meritorious, not because they want to be virtuous and ......."

Qiu Mingshan said: "Chen Ping stole his sister-in-law and stole gold, Liu Bang used it, why is this admired?" Because in troubled times, meritocracy moves. And when the world is governed, it is only when it is judged by virtue. ”

"Now Dong Weng wants to govern the river, and now he is in ruins to be revived, just like the troubled times, so he is the only one, and he is supplemented by political achievements. When to use a needle and when to use a head, you should choose the right time to move. ”

Lin Yanchao praised: "What Mr. Qiu said is thought-provoking, maybe there will be a time when the world will be ruled in the future, most of the officials are both capable and political, and morality is the main thing, and talent is secondary. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Dong Weng, Sun understands." ”

While he was talking, a horse came from the side of the road.

But seeing several people coming on fast horses, they came to the side of the carriage and asked the convoy: "Quick, I'm Xu Dagan, immediately tell the master." ”

This Xu Dagan is Lin Yanchao's long-term follower, this time he didn't take him out of the house but stayed in the mansion, what is the important thing for this person to come?

Lin Yanchao led the way for the other party at the moment and came to the carriage.

The carriage stopped, and Lin Yanchao lifted the curtain and asked, "What's coming?" ”

Xu Dagan kowtowed and said: "Qiqi Sima, the province sent someone to say that there will be a holy decree soon, and the Lord of Futai has been promoted!" ”

Fu Zhiyuan's promotion was not unexpected by Lin Yanchao, and at that moment Lin Yanchao asked: "Fu Futai, what position will you be promoted?" ”

"The right political envoy of this province!"

Poof!

Qiu Mingshan, Sun Chengzong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood!

Lin Yanchao was also stunned, he knew that Fu Zhiyuan would rise high this time, but he didn't expect it to rise so high!

It's a step to the sky!

Although the nominal number one of Henan Chengxuan's political secretary is Gong Daqi, the political envoy of the left, the political envoy of the right is only the second-in-command. But the rank of the political envoy of the left cloth and the political envoy of the right cloth is the same, and they are both dignified and second-class members.

Lao Fu has been a prefect for more than ten years, but he has never seen such a promotion.

Generally speaking, Lao Fu was promoted to the post of Zheng Sanpin according to the inspector, which was already the fire in the ancestral grave of his Fu family.

Now it is the fourth grade, and it has jumped from the second grade to the third grade in a row.

From the fourth grade to the second grade, not only saves ten years of work, but also this is not a matter of qualifications, just a long time as an official, but also needs to look at creation. Hai Rui has been mixed up for so long, and he has only become a waiter of the Zhengsanpin Rite Department, and now he is promoting culture and education for himself in Beijing.

Lin Yanchao is now envious, jealous and hateful, he has been arranging for so long, and he has exhausted all the organs, and he has killed Ma Yu and Gu Ming, but in the end, this big benefit is cheaper to pay Zhiyuan.

Xu Dagan didn't know Lin Yanchao's mood, and said with oil and vinegar over there: "Now that the holy decree has arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, the governor has sent a message to announce the decree together with the important officials in the province to celebrate." ”

"Steward Chen sent a villain to tell the lord quickly, and asked the lord to go back to the house to congratulate the new political envoy, and also asked what congratulatory gifts should be prepared this time, so as to meet the identity of the political envoy?"

Lin Yanchao was about to scold, he said that he was a fart, he didn't see that he had just quarreled with Fu Zhiyuan. And a congratulatory gift? The person who has been promoted to the third level in a row is not me. He Lao Fu climbed so high this time, he should send a congratulatory gift to me Lin Yanchao.

"Alright, stand down!" Qiu Mingshan scolded.

After Xu Dagan retreated, Qiu Mingshan said to Lin Yanchao: "Dong Weng is angry! At present, Fu Zhiyuan is already a second-grade member, and he has stayed in this province, he is a high authority, and he can't afford to offend him now, in case he investigates the silting of the field again, although we are not afraid, but the trouble is much more than before. ”

Lin Yanchao let out a sigh of relief and said, "Long-winded, go home immediately!" ”

PS: There will be an update in the evening.
