With infinite concerns about future life in Guizhou, Luo Bingzhong finally came to Huitong Hall to report on the use of post roads and post stations.

The Ming Dynasty's system of giving posts was very strict. Luo Bingzhong, a juren, was not qualified to use the posts when he went to Guizhou, but this time His Majesty sent someone to Guizhou and all of them could use the posts.

Here, Luo Bingzhong unexpectedly discovered that King Xiang Zhu Zhanji was also outside the Huitong Hall.

"Is Your Highness so anxious to go back to Xiangyang?" Luo Bingzhong stepped forward and spoke.

Zhu Zhanji was very angry and agreed to go back to Xiangyang to be a fun person, but ended up running to the Prime Minister of Guizhou for three years.

Now he looks at Luo Bingzhong and becomes more angry the more he looks!

Luo Bingzhong asked with some surprise: "Your Highness?"

Zhu Zhanqi sighed and said, "I want to go to Guiyang too!"

The difference between Xiangyang and Guiyang is a world of difference.

Zhu Zhanqian was holding a lot of thick documents in his car. Zhu Zhanqian took out one of them and said, "The feud between the chieftains is conducive to us to reconcile their conflicts in the center."

Luo Bingzhong looked at it for a long time before he said dumbly: "Are you sure it's a reconciliation?"

Zhu Zhanqi leaned on the back of the car driver's chair and said with great confidence: "It must be a reconciliation, and it can only be a reconciliation? Do you think it is a provocation?"

Of course, Luo Bingzhong knew that these two words were antonyms, but sometimes, they did have the same end. He nodded and said, "Your Highness is of great opinion."

Zhu Zhanqi took out a Guizhou yellow book from the Ministry of Revenue again, fish scale book, looked at it and wanted to throw it out of the window, but after thinking for a moment, he threw it aside and said, "It has no reference value, if it were not for the Ming Dynasty officials.

I really want to throw my face out the window.”

Luo Bingzhong took the yellow book and fish scale book, flipped it and nodded and said, "It is indeed a pile of waste paper. The people in these garrisons and prefectures and counties are always changing, but the general Dingkou Hetian in Guizhou

The Mu, however, has not changed since the establishment of the Guizhou Sansi during the Yongle period."

Zhu Zhanqi said with emotion: "I have to say that even when our Ming officials arrived at the 18 Caves of Jiuxi, they still maintained their current level."

"Just like the Minister of Revenue Yu Xin, the Minister of Revenue in Hongwu, approved the rich households in the world. Fifty years have passed. By the first year of Jingtai, the rich households in the world are still 14,000."

"They have always maintained a high degree of tacit understanding, and for decades, the yellow book and the fish scale book never increase or decrease."

Luo Bingzhong thought seriously and said, "But they did not reduce the field list and the fish scale list either."

Zhu Zhanqi was stunned, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "Of course this cannot be reduced, so this is the purpose of Your Majesty's sending the lonely man to Guiyang."

Why did Zhu Qiyu have to do something about the legitimate emperor’s uncle?

Because the problem in Guiyang is not only the problem of Bozhou chieftains, but also the bureaucratic problems that are as serious as those in the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, why can’t the field book and fish scale book be reduced?

Because once the reduction is reduced, the previous term will be deceiving, which means that the previous term is lying, but the previous term is likely to have been promoted.

Therefore, all the yellow books and fish scale books are like a pool of dead water, dead silent, and cannot be shaken.

Moreover, this unspoken rule is not only reflected in the yellow book and the fish scale book, but is everywhere.

This subtle tacit understanding requires a person with a special identity, not afraid of offending the previous one, or even ten ones, lifting the lid of the steamer to see how corrupt it is.

Zhu Zhanqi sat upright and said with a fierce expression: "Promotion and wealth and sudden death are the two directions of officials."

"If you follow the rules, you will be promoted and rich. If you don't follow the rules, you won't even be able to get out of the post station."

"Just like Li Binyan was surrounded and killed in the inn in Shandong."

Luo Bingzhong savored it for a moment and said in admiration: "That's so scary."

Zhu Zhanji took out another letter from the Ministry of Personnel to transfer officials from Guizhou over the years. He looked at it for a long time and shook his head and said, "All the transfers in Guizhou are just eight words, one prospers and one loss is the same."

Luo Bingzhong also looked at it for a long time before shook his head and said, "It's all places, except Beijing officials."

Zhu Zhanqiu was amazed and clicked on the list of personnel transfers and said, "Even the Beijing officials."

Luo Bingzhong asked tentatively: "What should you do if your Highness?"

Zhu Zhanqiu said with a smile: "It's actually not difficult."

“What should I do?”

Zhu Zhanqi said confidently: "We will do whatever your Majesty does. Guizhou has turned into heaven. Can those people from Nanzhili be fierce?"

Luo Bingzhong glanced out the window. It was the three hundred cavalry sent by His Majesty, and nodded and said, "Your Highness is awesome."

Guizhou does need the emperor's uncle to cook, and just need to do the same thing as His Majesty in Nanzhili to stabilize the situation and eventually break the deadlock completely.

As for the bureaucrats in the capital, it is not something that their King Xiang and the Chief Secretary are worried about, so they will be troubled by throwing them to His Majesty.

At this time, Hu Yi was taking Liu Ji to handle official duties and teaching by example.

"Although I have my recommendation, the matter of joining the Ministry of Rites is probably not that simple." Hu Yi was holding a few books in his hand, which were several books that Liu Ji borrowed in his library recently.

These books contain Hu Yi's notes. Liu Ji is a very good student. He is really hardworking. Even the notes Hu Yi's first were copied word by word to facilitate learning every time.

Liu Ji doesn’t understand some of the contents, but after memorizing them, he will naturally understand them when he encounters them in the future.

"Why? I'm obviously good at everything in the Ministry of Rites." Liu Ji asked in confusion.

Hu Yi said with a smile: "It is precisely because you are very good at it that you cannot join the Ministry of Rites."

"What's the reason?" Liu Ji frowned.

Hu Yi thought seriously for a long time and said, "Jin Shangshu clearly had military achievements, but after returning to Beijing, he could only be the Minister of Revenue. Of course, some people's ideas were wrong."

"They had no idea that the governor from the local area, Yu Shaobao, who was the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was more suitable to be the Minister of War."

"Like Jiang Yuan now, he became the Minister of War. Although he did a good job, he was at least much better than Chen Ruyan."

"This is a tacit understanding."

Although this passage is very complicated, Liu Ji still vigorously understood the truth.

Jin Lian followed Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, not only to fight against the enemy in Fujian, but also to be the Minister of Revenue since the third year of Zhengtong. After the Tumu Fort Incident, Jin Lian returned to Beijing but became the Minister of Revenue.

, not a more suitable Minister of War.

Instead, Yu Qian, who came to Beijing from a local governor in the 13th year of Zhengtong, became the Minister of War.

Because Jin Lian knew military affairs very well, he could not be the Minister of War. Because Jiang Yuan did not know military affairs very well, he became the Minister of War. Because Liu Ji knew etiquette and law very well, he could not be the Minister of War.

The logic is the same, and there are several unspoken rules in the officialdom, and this is one of them.

Liu Ji asked in confusion: "Will people use their talents to make full use of their talents? Shouldn't they be the court?"

Hu Yi shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, if your chief knows these things well, how can you do it?"

"This is completely different from what I thought." Liu Ji said helplessly.

Hu Yi smiled and said, "The Master said: People can be used to it, but not to know it."

This sentence is Confucius's words, which means letting the people follow, but they cannot let them know why.

Hu Yi smiled and said, "The people can use the way of the people, but not the wise. The people can use the way of the people, but not the strong. But I want to remind you that Your Majesty is following the way of the country's progress, and these are not suitable.

Don't talk about it again in the future, otherwise Your Majesty will hate you."

"A thing that is so inconvenient in etiquette? It must be moved by the times."

Some knowledge is too old, and His Majesty has already discussed financial affairs. These sentences that do not allow the people to understand the truth cannot be said in the temple.

Liu Ji hurriedly said, "The official is clear."

Hu Yi continued to speak, "Han Feizi said: Official positions are the tripods of capable men, they are responsible for their affairs, and they are foolish and wise."

"Now, you have taken care of the responsibilities of "Huanyu Tongzhi". Don't ask about the court affairs, go to Chongqing Prefecture, go down the river from Chongqing Prefecture, and do a good job in surveying the 40,000-mile waterway. I recommend you to the Ministry of Rites for

Official, there will be no more problems."

The officialdom is a world of fame and fortune, a furnace, and a tripod. As long as the bureaucrats do things a few times, they can see their abilities.

This is also the wonderful use of the method of examining.

Why can the test method be used to break the deep-rooted cliques?

Because it is a relationship that is great, if you fail the exam, you will not be promoted.

Liu Ji asked confusedly: "But hasn't I just said it? Did I lose my position as a judge because of my good etiquette and law?"

Hu Yi sat upright and said very seriously: "A set of rules on the surface is something that everyone must abide by."

"A set of rules in secret, these rules will change according to open regulations."

"If you follow the rules in secret, you can only walk in secret, be ashamed of the light, be unworthy of praise, and have something to ask for, and you will naturally be used by others. You need to constantly compromise, tolerate, to use the authority in your hands, to go

Exchange some other authority you need.”

"If you do things according to the rules on the outside, it will be invincible to those who are kind."

"Yu Shaobao is such a person, so even if he abolished King Jili's throne, no one can argue with him, and he still holds the court official Niu Er."

"I hope you can follow the rules on the surface, so that in the future, I can only ask for a clear conscience."

Hu Yi looked at Liu Ji's still confused expression and said with a smile: "It's okay, you just need to remember what I said now. In the future, you will understand."

"Thank you for the teachings of Shangshu Hu." Liu Ji thanked him. Although he didn't understand, he would understand these words after he walked from Chongqing Prefecture to Songjiang Prefecture and cultivated the Universal Confucianism.

He will encounter many problems with power exchange, and he will slowly understand these principles and warnings. How important.
