After a few rounds of drinking, Li Ruogu saw that Yan Shu was relatively cold to him, and it was not interesting to sit here, so he excused himself for old age and decrepitude, and went back to rest first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Li family has a house in Luoyang, and Li Ruogu does not live in the yamen.

Looking at the background of Li Ruogu's departure, Yan Shu shook his head and whispered to Xu Ping: "Li Liushou is old, and his ears can't hear what others are saying, I talk to him, I'm afraid it will disturb everyone's interest." But looking at his cowardly appearance, I may think that I am indifferent to him, and I am not arranged! ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "Li Liushou has a well-known ear disease, so there is no need to worry about this matter." ”

Li Ruogu doesn't care about government affairs, and it has something to do with his body, and the reason why he came to Luoyang is because of his ear disease and came to Xijing City to relax. His ears couldn't hear clearly, and he had to speak loudly in person before he could hear it, and Yan Shu really couldn't talk to him on this occasion.

As soon as Li Ruogu left, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Yan Shu is a bit old-fashioned, but he has always favored young talents and likes to socialize with young people. Wang Yaochen here is the champion, Xu Ping is Tanhua, and they are both first-class jinshi, and the other shogunes are also from jinshi, which is the person Yan Shu likes to deal with the most.

The cold dishes were withdrawn, the fruits were served, and Xu Ping ordered someone to warm the wine again.

Pointing to a plate of pine nuts on the table, Xu Ping said to Yan Shu: "This is the pine nuts of Goryeo, two days ago, a brother of Wang Bin of Zhimi Prefecture came here to sell cotton cloth to Goryeo, and brought some local products. Bachelor taste, there is a different taste. ”

Yan Shu twisted a few pine nuts, peeled them and tasted them in his mouth, and nodded: "It's really good, it's rare to produce such big pine nuts in the Central Plains." ――Speaking of which, you have been on Jingxi Road for a year, and Wang Gongchen has done a great cotton business! ”

Xu Ping said: "We just have the right time, cotton is indeed more productive than silk and hemp, and it is easy to take care of. Speaking of foreign countries, there are many good things that China does not have, but we know very little. ”

"Yes, the first emperor once took Zhancheng rice and gave it to various places for planting, and he also reaped great benefits. Speaking of these things in Fanbang, there are indeed many things that are stronger than the Central Plains, but we have not been there enough and don't know. ”

At night, the wind picked up and roared through the dead branches and leaves. Although there is a fire passage in the verandah, it is ventilated everywhere, and from time to time a cold wind blows in, and it is bitterly cold. Then it was baked by the heat from the ground, and it was cold and hot, and the taste was not pleasant.

Yan Shu didn't care, and the conversation was strong. After another round of wine, Yan Shu put down the wine glass and said to Xu Ping: "You should know my intention this time." Alas, in fact, according to the meaning of the two ministers, they didn't want to send people. ”

Xu Ping was stunned: "Oh, how did I hear that Lu Xianggong wanted to send Master Mei here, but he was too old to delay for a few days." ”

Yan Shu smiled and shook his head: "You are on Jingxi Road, far away from the capital, so naturally I don't know the details inside." Lu Xianggong's original meaning was also to blame the officials of the branch department for being troublesome, but how to deal with it, he and Wang Xianggong disagreed, so they had to send someone to find out first. This errand fell to the academy, and in the end I had to run in the cold weather. ”

"I don't know how to deal with the matter?"

Yan Shu leaned forward, looked at Xu Ping, and lowered his voice and said: "According to the meaning of Xianggong Lu, although the officials of the branch department made a lot of noise, they also knew in the capital that it was because they were greedy and the government hall didn't want to pay attention to it. But the amount of tickets in the hands of Henan Mansion is too large for the three divisions to pay, and now it is up to the political hall to find a way. Wang Xianggong's thoughts are thought to have been heard by you, and they coincide with your meaning, so I won't repeat them. Lu Xianggong's idea is to stabilize the price of silk, and the three stores print more shopping coupons, and there are too many things that are not accurate, for fear of accidents. Still don't do it, and just write off the account-"

Xu Ping's eyes widened suddenly: "Tens of millions of flying tickets, directly written off?" Which official of Jingxi Road is Kenyi! ”

Yan Shu sighed: "I just know that your Jingxi Road officials will definitely refuse, so Lu Xianggong proposed it and directly gave you official remuneration." Except for Mengzhou and Xiangzhou, all the Beijing Dynasty officials and electors on Jingxi Road have been added with one official, and this year, those who have been changed from electors to Beijing officials will be given ten more people on Jingxi Road. As for you and Wang Yaochen, because they worked the hardest, each of them was exceptionally promoted. According to Lu Xianggong's intentions, your official has not been promoted for many years, and this time he was directly promoted from the right Shilang to the middle of the matter. ”

Xu Ping didn't know what to say for a while, so he was silent. Originally, according to Xu Ping's Jinshi background, the post and the original military merits, skipping a few levels should be promoted from the right Shilang to the right counselor, which is to skip Guangluqing and the secretary and supervisor, and then promote the right counselor after the right counselor. In fact, there is a stop after the right counselor, and it can't be jumped, and it must be given to the middle of the matter, and then promoted to the sixth servant.

The six squires and above are generally the officials of the Zaizhi, in other words, for the non-Zaizhi in the matter, it is basically at the top. For example, the current Xijing is staying and knowing Li Ruogu, Henan Mansion, and the official is in the middle of the matter, if he has no chance to enter the two mansions to be the ruler, he will be at the top. Lu Yijian is really calculating, he has been pressing Xu Ping's official before, but this time he rose to the top and sold a lot of favors. And once Xu Ping's official is promoted to the middle of the matter, the official and position will be exactly the same as Li Ruogu, plus his Yongning County Marquis and his previous military exploits, he will really be overwhelmed, and he will not have to fight for status.

You must know that there were many officials who used to advise doctors, and this temptation was big enough.

Seeing that Xu Ping didn't speak, Yan Shu thought that he was moved, and said softly: "As long as you are relieved here, Wang Xianggong will not be able to insist on it anymore, and this matter can be settled in the political affairs hall." Xu Ping, you and I are considered elders, I would like to advise, at this time, the weight of Lu Xianggong's words in the court is very heavy, according to his meaning, there is no great harm to you and the officials of Jingxi Road, and to the country-"

Unexpectedly, Xu Ping shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The bachelor doesn't know anything, if I agree to this matter, it may indeed be of no harm to myself and to the officials who have worked Jingxi Road this year." But for the state, how can it be said that it is harmless? The political hall disposed of the ticket of Henan Mansion in this way, and we have really worked hard this year! ”

"Officials do things just to increase their ranks. Since the political affairs hall agreed to increase the number of officials, how can it be said that it is in vain? ”

What can Xu Ping say? He couldn't explain it to Yan Shu at all in just a few words now. If you want to increase the official, why did Xu Ping make such a big move? Honestly being a transfer envoy, can you still fall into the official position that you want to promote! The reason why the cotton industry is so big on Jingxi Road, and it is so big all at once, is to take this opportunity to shake the current economic system. With such a huge scale of commodities, to impact the original natural economic management system, forcing the economic system of the imperial court to transform into a commodity economy, opening the way for the future commodity economy to usher in a new era.

I never thought that Lu Yijian would want to use political means to solve economic problems. This is a method that has lasted for thousands of years, and he believes that it will work just as well this time.

After a while, Xu Ping asked Yan Shu, "Bachelor, what if I don't agree?" ”

Yan Shu sighed: "Either you can convince me, otherwise I can only act according to Lu Xianggong's wishes." ”
