Chapter 490 The requirements are too high...
Yang Yiqing is just a rigid face, and such people are usually very strict in their work. Well... He Jin guessed that he should be a Virgo. However, this does not mean that others have a rigid mind.
On the contrary, people who were hailed as child prodigy when they were young and could pass the Jinshi exam easily were usually extremely active and understood.
So when He Jin talked about his connections, Yang Yiqing then realized that although this kid has been in Beijing for less than a year, his connections are very solid.
After all, the connections he established were all unfavorable and unfamiliar, and there was also the involvement of interests, and the relationship... was definitely deep.
The most important thing is that his network of contacts is exactly what he lacks here.
Like ordinary civil servants, he has always looked down on those forces that are distorted. So he is too lazy to communicate at all, and it can even be said that he has a little revenge.
However, during this incident of Tonggong and mutual trading, His Majesty strongly excluded all the opposing civil servant groups, and the benefits they gained must be devoted to deepening the reform of the military system. This led to the emergence of the forces such as the nobles and military officers and the inner court, which caught Lao Yang off guard.
"Shangshu Yang, you are a righteous and upright powerful minister. At this time, let’s put aside your face and make love with those people. Let’s not talk about whether it’s too late, but you civil officials should pay attention to their reputation."
As he said that, He Jin picked up a glass of wine and smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked you to serve as the Minister of Commerce. It is precisely because of your reputation that it can convince those civil servants."
"But if you change your course now, you will be in love with the nobles and military officers, and the inner court. Do you think the civil servant group will criticize you and will lead you into the ranks of slander ministers like me?"
Looking at He Jin holding the wine glass in the air, the old man could no longer touched a glass with him and said, "Your kid's mind is really more refined than a ghost..."
"It's not just that."
He Jin drank the glass of wine happily and said, "I am helping you... You see, I will promote me to the Ministry of Commerce. I can handle these matters for you by communicating and contacting you, and I will block the bad reputation and other things for you."
"As for you, you will be your loyal and capable minister. If you have nothing to do, we will scold you a few words when necessary. But in secret, for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the country is rich and the soldiers are strong. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
When Yang Yiqing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He Jin moved the dish with affectionate touch and continued: "Shangshu Yang, you have to think about it carefully. This time, His Majesty issued a high-profile edict and set up a juncture in the trade yamen."
"Although in order to avoid the storm of the court, it is not obvious that the yamen is ranked alongside the six ministries, but you have given you the treatment of a second-rank minister. You also have to refer to the rules of the six ministries to form an organization and select officials. Isn't it enough to explain Your Majesty's ardent expectations?"
Then, he continued in that bewitching tone, "Not to mention that you have done this matter badly, even if it is done with bumps, it will not only disappoint His Majesty's expectations, but also sorry for this rare opportunity in the Ming Dynasty!"
Of course, Yang Yiqing heard the hints inside and outside the words. But it was precisely because of this that his face became more ugly: because, this kid was right at all!
In fact, if he hadn't realized this, a clean and upright official with his temperament would not have come to visit He Jin at all.
How could He Jin eat at home if he really lacks it?
Then, Yang Yiqing was so angry that he picked up a piece of fat fish... Well, it smells so good!
"Okay, don't give me the ecstasy soup," Yang Yiqing said softly while chewing the fish meat: "My first value is ability when choosing officials. Your connections are not very important!"
As soon as he said this, He Jin couldn't help laughing: The old man is not honest at all, he is completely relieved and he has to be hard on his lips...
"Oh, Shangshu Yang, it would be boring to say this. If I were not for me in this business, how could you have the opportunity to become a second-rank official? I have done this and I still feel that I have no ability?"
Yang Yiqing's hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help but tighten, and he wanted to insert the chopsticks into He Jin's mouth: It's so shameless!
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty in this era were humble and polite, and had the style of a gentleman. This was the first time that an old man had met a giggle like He Jin.
Yes, but... He Jin's words are really not a boast.
After all, what he said was the truth.
So Yang Yiqing's old face twitched and turned his attention to the table full of food.
But what He Jin wants is this effect. As soon as the old man retreated, he rushed forward: "Shangshu Yang, in my opinion, regardless of loyalty, treacherous, righteousness and treacherous, our goals are the same. Moreover, I also have my own small plan for the future planning of the Ministry of Commerce."
The old man continued to eat food, but he couldn't help but say "um" in the middle, indicating that I was listening.
"No matter how difficult the Ministry of Commerce is to make it, it will be two to put it bluntly. One end is here in the capital. You always need to communicate and balance, straighten the relationship, and satisfy Your Majesty and the court."
"The other side is the other side of the Fiery Field. You must have a smart and capable person, skilled in practice and more proficient in business. It is best to have some relationship with the Mongolejin tribe, so that both the Ming and Meng sides can convince them. At the same time, you must have someone who has experienced the experience of leading troops to fight and training troops to control the army..."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but interrupt, saying, "I naturally know that only when the court does a practical matter is done, can I be confident to stand up in the court."
"What you said is good at business and even has something to do with the Mongolejin tribe. I agree very much. But why did both sides form an alliance and have to have someone who has experienced the experience of leading troops to fight and training troops to control the army?"
"Because of the interests of mutual trading, we need to use it to deepen the reform of the military system..." He Jin waved his hand and said casually: "I have already made a plan here in Jingying. Just establish a military academy and then implement it step by step to Jingying. But for the border army, we have to create a pilot project first, right?"
"And I remember that at the beginning of the year, Lord Wang Jia, the Right Minister of Personnel, wrote a letter, suggesting that Your Majesty make a big move, recruit brave men from the border, train strictly, and allow military salaries to defend the border."
"It's a pity that I had not entered Beijing yet and did not deal with the nobles and military officers. After His Majesty received the report, his concerns were all affected and he did not dare to implement them easily. I felt deeply regretful."
"The time is ripe now. While we make money and trade, we will train the border troops in the court. If we do things in a quiet manner, do you think Your Majesty is unhappy?"
Yang Yiqing dropped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", looked at He Jin in surprise, and asked, "You kid is really only sixteen years old this year? Such a close-minded and unsparing skill is really..."
He won't say anything later. He knew that He Jin had a stick and climbed up. He was afraid that he would be proud of him: "Then, what are the requirements for the candidates for borders besides these?"
"That's a good person. In addition to what I said, it's better to be handsome and handsome and beautiful... Hey, Yang Shangshu, where are you going? I haven't finished talking yet."
This time, Yang Yiqing didn't even look back and said angrily: "I have never seen someone as shameless as you!"
Then, He Jin sat in his original position and did not chase after him.
Looking at the old man's back, he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip of joy: "Hmph, how can you do it without paying a little price?"
At this time, Liu Qingshuang, who appeared behind Yue'er, couldn't help but frowned and asked sadly: "My husband, aren't we going to move to Yansui after the New Year? Why do you still offend Lord Yang like this?"
"Offend?" He Jin smiled and said, "He is a loyal minister who is upright and righteous, a sage and gentleman. He must be tolerant. Since he has tolerated me, how can he offend?"
"Yes, but Lord Yang was obviously angry with you..." Xiao Yue'er said dissatisfied.
"It's not that I'm angry, but that I've heard everything I should listen to, and he's full... You see, I've always called the Trade Affairs Office the Ministry of Commerce, strengthening his sense of responsibility and mission, and then the veins in the middle have been straightened out for him."
"In the end, I am the only one who meets the requirements..."
Then He Jin smiled slightly and said, "Including the Ming Dynasty has always been a capital city but is a waste of the place. The only thing that really deals with the practice is to be the official position of the Minister of State..."
Yue'er may not understand these words, but of course Liu Qingshuang understood them immediately, and her beautiful eyes suddenly circulated happily: "In this way, my husband will get what he wants and will go to Yansui to take office?"
"Yeah..." He Jin held his chin and thought, "It's almost done. However, my guilt has not been completely cleared yet. It will be safer to give His Majesty a little excitement."
Now, Liu Qingshuang doesn't understand anymore.
"That is to say, your husband should do something that the slander should do so that he will not be misrepresented..."
He Jin suddenly burst into laughter, got up and sipped on Liu Qingshuang's face, and said, "Hmph, those fools should let them suffer a little!"
