Don't complain that your efforts are not rewarded. Maybe you have given too little, or maybe the time has not come yet. Smart and wise leaders will always find a suitable and high-sounding reason for your eight thousand sweat to get eight hundred salary.
"Qianhu is still too small. Isn't your appetite a bit too big?" Zhang Luzi admires the dreams of young people, but the steps are too big and are too much. Zhang Luzi has experience, "Grandson, the road must be walked step by step, and the official must be promoted step by step. We military people are not like those scholars who are sweet-tongued and talkative. If things happen, your official career will be prosperous. If we warriors want to be promoted, we need to take it one step at a time."
"Well, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of getting into the wrong career and regretting it. If I had known better, I would have just given up on my conscience and followed the civil servants. Being a lackey of the civil servants is not honorable, but I rose quickly. I don't know where I am now. Can I get Mr. Li’s understanding if I bear a thorn to plead guilty? It is better to reconcile enemies than to make enemies. The prime minister’s belly can support a boat. Mr. Li should not be like a child."
Seeing Wang BuSheng's eyes wandering around, Zhang LuZi seemed to have guessed what Wang BuSheng was thinking. In order to avoid the loss of talents, Zhang LuZi directly cut off Wang BuSheng's retreat, "Your boy had a big showdown with civil servants in the court a few days ago. , it can be said to be very pleasing to the people, and it also makes us warriors look good. I heard that Zhang Songhe made an error in the identity verification of Kameda 18th Prince Taro and the Japanese envoy. Today, the emperor ordered Zhang Songhe to write a 30,000-word self-criticism. This is unprecedented for His Majesty. A meeting of officials of the fourth rank and above was convened, and Zhang Songhe was asked to recite it in court. I hope everyone will remember the past and take it as a lesson. Liu Wenzheng, who is in charge of punishment, also fell into trouble with you. I heard that he fell ill when he returned home. , It has been many days since I summoned a maid to attend my bed."
The Minister of Rites read out his self-criticism in front of a group of subordinates. Zhang Songhe was extremely embarrassed, and Liu Wenzheng, who could not sleep without a beautiful woman, spent the night alone. This shows that he was seriously ill. Who would have thought that an act of justice would offend so many people? , Wang Bushi felt that he had made a big mistake.
It wasn't over yet, Zhang Luzi continued to say, "It's okay for these two people. The Ministry of Rites is an idle unit and won't give you a chance to wear small shoes. Liu Wenzheng is even more so. Your Jinyiwei's frame-up skills are no worse than Liu Wenzheng's, and you are not afraid of that kid's use." stumbling block".
Well, okay, Wang Busheng has no words to refute. Indeed, framing is Jin Yiwei's specialty.
"The person who has the greatest influence on you is the immortal Li Yutang. I heard that when he returned home, he, who respected his sister-in-law very much, actually lost his temper with her, and even scolded his proud grandson. , and Li Yutang has said on many occasions that a king who is unlearned and unskilled will not die. If the Ming Empire is filled with such people in the future, the country will not be a country."
Um, okay, when a country is about to fall, there must be a monster, and this monster is still named Wang. Wang is still conscious and has not fallen into a trap to buy fake certificates from Li Yutang.
Having offended so many people, all of whom were at the top of the pyramid, Wang Busheng felt that his official career would not be so smooth.
Seeing that Wang Busui was a little disheartened, Zhang Luzi did not want to defeat an aspiring young man. Young people who cannot see hope are of no use to the country. Then Zhang Luzi smiled and said, "But don't worry, kid. A warrior has his own abilities." There is a promotion system. Those literati can’t get involved.”
Although he spent every day in the harem munching on pig knuckles and his wife, Zhu Xiluo was not an idiot. No matter how happily the civil servants and generals fought, Zhu Xiluo was not worried. If there was harmony, Zhu Xiluo would still be unable to sleep. For To prevent military generals from being mixed with civilian officials, Zhu Xiluo distinguished civilian officials from military generals. The promotion of civilian officials mostly relied on the recommendation of Li Yutang, the Minister of Civil Affairs and ministers, while military officials were based on merit and were determined by the Military Affairs Department and the paper. Zhu Xiluo decides on promotion. Of course, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, but the hands of civilian officials are still very stretched. Because of Zhu Xiluo's neglect of government, the current military attache system also includes some military personnel who practice closely with civilian officials.
Zhu Xiluo personally experienced that the emperor came out of the barrel of a gun. Zhu Xiluo did not want his Zhu family dynasty to have any hidden dangers. In order to prevent the founding heroes from forming cliques and interacting too much with military generals, Zhu Xiluo specially joined the Ministry of War. An independent department, the Military Affairs Department, was established, and all the military officers were promoted, promoted, and transferred. All the generals with military power were Zhu Xiluo's most trusted people. However, the Ming Empire was now facing so many internal and external troubles, and Zhu Xiluo could still enjoy peace. important reasons. Although the soldiers guarding the frontier lived in poverty, they were extremely loyal to the emperor. Even if you die, you will not rebel.
Hearing such a result, Wang Busui felt relieved. Although the status of the warrior was not high, he still had room for development. He only increased the tax revenue for the Ming Empire and was only promoted to one level. Wang Busui still felt that he was a bit shortchanged. This is seriously inconsistent with the risk you have taken.
"My lord, it's not that I don't know how to appreciate others. The most unfilial thing is to have no descendants. Tell me how hard it is for me to have a son to carry on the family line. However, there is no hole in the back of my butt. Isn't this a harm to the child? After thinking about it, this businessman... It is better for you to take charge of the tax matters and for your subordinates to assist you."
Moreover, you are such an old man and your functions have deteriorated, so you should not have any worries in this regard. This is another reason why Wang Busheng did not say it.
"If a few curses would come true, wouldn't those shameless civil servants have long since exterminated their descendants? Feudal superstition is not allowed. The king will not die. As young people in the new era, we must believe in science and believe that a few curses will not kill people. "Zhang Luzi is still trying to win back Wang Busheng's heart that is gradually drifting away.
Effort is a process of slow accumulation. Quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes first. This is a process. If you can't keep calm and can't bear your temper, you will only get failure. Zhang Luzi doesn't have much education, but he has lived a lifetime of experience. Tell Zhang Luzi that even good women are afraid of wolves. Even the most hard-hearted person will lose his will after trying a few times.
"My lord, if there is truth in existence, how can a culture that has existed for five thousand years be discarded like dregs? You can't believe it completely, and you can't not believe it." This outrageous thing happened to me, so who can guarantee that Songjiang Mansion will be thousands of years old? The businessmen worked together to pray and shout that the oath could not be fulfilled and they could not make fun of their children's future.
"Your boy is not yet an adult. It is too early to think about future generations. When you have completed the work of collecting taxes from merchants, become a glorious guard of thousands of households, and become a rich and prestigious official family, then you can It’s not too late to consider getting married and having children, and with your appearance, if you want to find a partner that you are satisfied with, you can only rely on the money in your pocket and the power in your hands.”
"Damn it, you damn donkey dare to scold me, you're blind, I'm a beautiful tree in the wind, you actually said I'm ugly," Wang Bushi wanted to have close contact with the women of the Zhang family, but Wang Bushi gave up, and he Not everyone is qualified to appreciate the beauty of beauty. As long as the three daughters-in-law like it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Guo. I am an ugly man but have little power. It is really difficult for me to have my own opinion on such an important matter of collecting taxes for merchants in Songjiang Prefecture. I just need to follow the arrangements of Mr. Guo."
"There is no way to think about it, what is your smart head doing?"
"The small ones have long heads just to look good, but in fact they are not smart."
Wang Bushi was angry, and his proud appearance was suppressed. If Wang Bushi hadn't retained a trace of reason, Zhang Luzi would have been a corpse at this moment.
"The ghostly boy turned out to be a fool," he looked at Wang Busui and said softly to himself, "I also have a granddaughter who looks like a fairy in the sky. She likes smart people the most, and I also admire the kind of heroes who make the impossible possible the most.”
"Ahem, Grandpa, actually, I'm a little smart, kid." Hearing what Zhang Luzi said, Wang Bushit's heart suddenly skipped a beat. It seemed that he was talking about Xiao Tiantian. If he could take down the little one first, it would be a good reward.
"You are smart, haha. You are so tall that I doubt you can even read the Three-Character Classic."
"Grandpa, are you underestimating me? To be honest with the Duke, I can read at the age of three, read all the ancient books at the age of four, and compose poetry at the age of five. I have learned knowledge for five hundred years, and I have known it for five hundred years."
"Haha," Zhang Luzi said coldly. The meaning is obvious, and it is probably consistent with the sentiment that men are reliable and sows can climb trees.
"If you don't believe me, I can compose a poem right now. I regret that the emperors of Qin and Han were less talented in literature. The ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty were a little less charming. Genghis Khan, the genius of the generation, only knew how to bend his bow and shoot the big eagle. Emperor Ming obeyed the emperor,
"Ahem, cough, cough," you must know that the current sage claims that he has the blood of Zhu Ming. Worried about hearing rebellious words, Zhang Luzi hurriedly interrupted,
"My lord, do you believe it?"
"Haha, it's not impossible for me to approve you, as long as you can think of ways for merchants to collect taxes,"
Although he knew that he was provoking the general, Wang Bushit still planned to say what he was thinking, "What's so difficult about getting businessmen to pay taxes?"
"Have you figured out a way"?
It's better to be young, because brain cells work more efficiently.
"As long as the Duke of Guo gives me three hundred city administrators, no, three hundred soldiers, I will ensure that all the merchants in Songjiang Prefecture pay their taxes in full."
Violence can solve everything, such as the current tax problem. Businessmen cherish their money more than their lives. They spend their money, beat their children, and sleep with their wives. They don't want this to happen to them.
"What's the matter, you kid is planning to collect taxes violently, and those who don't pay taxes will be chopped off."
"Mr. Guo, if you don't want to let your children catch the wolf, how can you make those stingy people take out the money obediently if you don't kill a few people? Don't worry, Gonggong, you can kill ten or eight at most. I guarantee that the other businessmen will be obedient." Submission."
Cutting through the mess with a quick sword, few people would sacrifice their lives for their money when faced with a sword.
"Yes, if you kill a few people, they will pay the taxes obediently. This year's tax collection will be completed. But next year, you are sure that under the threat of swords, they will still do business in Songjiang Mansion tomorrow."
Zhang Luzi doesn't care at all if a few people die, but if he kills the chicken to get the eggs, Songjiang Mansion will not be able to receive even one tael of silver in tax in the future.
"Well, the Duke of Guo thinks this method won't work"?
"No, if violence is possible, I don't have to look for you. Any Jin Yiwei can do it." Zhang Luzi rejects this one-and-done approach.
"Mr. Guo, although it is a bit rough, this method is also the most direct and effective. And as long as Songjiang Prefecture has a good business environment, Songjiang Prefecture will not be without businessmen."
All turmoil in the world is for profit. As long as there are enough profits, merchants who do business with pirates are like crucian carp crossing the river.
"The king is not dead. Although I am old, I am still a minister of the Ming Empire. Your Majesty uses Songjiang Prefecture as a pilot project for merchant tax collection. He hopes to get an effective method in Songjiang Prefecture and then spread it across the country. A small Songjiang Prefecture can be violent Tax collection, but how many prefectures and counties across the country do it all rely on violence?"
