Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi were both descendants of the Khitan royal family. They were among those who were relatively well off in the Jin Kingdom and could be called "honorary Jurchens."
When they were both in the Kingdom of Jin, their relationship was okay.
Now that they have also surrendered to the Liberation Army and changed their families, they are still together. It must be said that it is a kind of fate.
"Are you getting used to these days?"
As a "senior", Yelu Chenghui expressed his concern for Yelu Yuanyi, a "younger".
Yelu Yuanyi just smiled.
"There's nothing I'm not used to. Things are the same everywhere, but here there are more things. There are more things than being the Minister of the Ministry of War."
Yelu Yuanyi now holds two positions. He is the military counselor beside Su Yonglin and a member of the staff department.
However, the Chief of Staff was not busy with things every day, and Lin Jingchun happened to be calling for a shortage of people, so Su Yonglin arranged for several people from the Chief of Staff to be sent to the Food and Rating Department to help. The Chief of Staff would come back for meetings when something happened.
So Yelu Yuanyi started his career of running at both ends, breaking one person in half for use.
This was quite good, as he integrated into the service system of the Liberation Army without making him feel too awkward, and quickly got used to this fast-paced life.
Yelu Chenghui laughed a few times.
"Yeah, there are really a lot of things to do. I'm doing things as soon as I open my eyes, and I'm resting as soon as I close my eyes. It's much more tiring than before... but it's quite relaxing."
"easy?"
"Don't you feel it? There are less flirting and unnecessary banquets. All the time is spent on doing things instead of scheming with people in the officialdom. It is very relaxed to do things here."
Yelu Chenghui said this, and Yelu Yuanyi thought about it again, and it really was like that.
It's easy, it's unexpectedly easy, everyone is just doing things, to let the Liberation Army win, and not for anything else.
But Yelu Yuanyi is focused on another thing.
"Easy...compared to this, have you noticed that the background of these officials is very low?"
"I noticed it, and I also heard that most of these officials learned reading and other skills in the Liberation Army, and then were transferred back to work. They are talents cultivated by the Liberation Army themselves."
Yelu Chenghui sighed: "I never thought that the Liberation Army could achieve this."
"Develop talents for yourself?"
Yelu Yuanyi finally understood the reason for the faint feeling of disobedience in his heart, and couldn't help but admired: "In this way, it is really not luck that the Liberation Army has reached this point. It cultivates talents for itself... This It’s the atmosphere of a king.”
"It's more than just a king's appearance."
Yelu Chenghui sighed: "I have been an envoy to the Song Kingdom, to the Xia Kingdom, and also served as an official in the Jin Kingdom for so many years. The official atmosphere of the three kingdoms is almost the same. Corruption is rampant, arrogance and extravagance are rampant, and no money will be paid. To do things, some people don't do things even after receiving money.
However, it is completely different within the Liberation Army. Military regulations and laws are very strict, and there are dedicated personnel responsible for supervising their implementation. There is no difference between the top and bottom. Whether they join the army or manage the local area, everyone performs their duties and performs their duties with all their heart and soul. There is no shirk. Things to do.
This is still within the service department. I heard that the relevant rules in the army are stricter. Officers are not allowed to beat or scold soldiers. If there is any violation, military judicial officials will severely punish them. Soldiers' pay is distributed openly and directly to the soldiers. They make decisions on the spot. Records are not handled by any official.
The soldiers' daily rations are publicly announced, how much they cost, and how much ingredients are used. Everyone can check it. There is no shortage of three meals a day. The soldiers are never dissatisfied. Our rations, the soldiers' rations, and even General Yu Su's food is the same, there is no difference. "
"That's true."
Yelu Yuanyi nodded slightly: "I don't know if there has ever been such an army. Anyway, I have never seen it myself. To be able to do this, it is no wonder that they are invincible and invincible. Eat a full belly of dragon essence In a battle between strong soldiers and soldiers who are short of food and clothing, it is obvious who will win."
"That's why I was surprised and incredible. Today, I'm somewhat used to it."
Yelu Chenghui smiled and said: "This feeling of working hard for something purely for something, the feeling of being willing to go all out for this thing, except when I was young and studying in school, I haven't felt it for a long time. .”
Yelu Yuanyi looked at Yelu Chenghui.
"It seems like you're used to this kind of life?"
"Of course, I even kind of like days like this. Believe it or not, Yuanyi, in my heart I really hope that the Liberation Army can defeat it."
Yelu Chenghui sighed: "I don't know why I became like this... They don't even have corruption here, they don't use power to bully others... None of this! Do you dare to believe it? Yuanyi, do you dare to believe it? "
Yelu Yuanyi recalled what he had seen and heard after joining the Su Yonglin Group and knew that this was indeed the case.
He had never seen any corruption in Su Yonglin's department.
Several major logistics departments within the Liberation Army, headed by the Food and Pay Department, handle tens of millions of money. Under Lin Jingchun's control, the accounts are clear and clean, and the audits are clean at the end of each month. The people in the Audit Department opened their eyes wide and read page after page. No problem can be found in the account books.
No bullying occurred.
The relationship between superiors and subordinates is very peaceful, and there seems to be no distinction between them. The superiors will not ask the subordinates to handle anything other than official business.
All conflicts among staff in various departments are due to official duties, and there are no conflicts in official duties due to private matters. The struggle for power and morale has completely disappeared, and no existing trend can be seen at all.
Is this really a political team composed of humans?
Does this really exist?
Yelu Yuanyi had deeply doubted his eyes and his head, but the facts told him that this was true and it existed now.
Therefore, he was not surprised by Yelu Chenghui's thoughts. If he doubted the existence of things he saw with his own eyes, he would be the one who had the problem.
However, he also has his own considerations.
"This is not normal."
Yelu Yuanyi withdrew his gaze, walked forward silently, and said silently: "This situation is abnormal."
Yelu Yuanyi's words made Yelu Chenghui feel strange.
"unusual?"
Yelu Chenghui asked a little strangely: "What you see in your own eyes, do you think it is abnormal? This is what really happened, why is it abnormal?"
"It's very abnormal."
Yelu Yuanyi said: "How noble is it to hold great power and not seek personal gain for yourself? But how many people have you seen like this? I have only seen countless people who swore to be as clean as water but ended up colluding with others. , is it possible that everyone in the Liberation Army is a saint?"
"But isn't it true here? Have you ever seen a corrupt person since you worked with me?"
"I think that's because they started the uprising in a short period of time, only two years ago, and there are many crises. They are doing their best to survive. Who has the heart to be corrupt?"
Yelu Yuanyi looked up at the sky and sighed: "Although they control Shandong and Hebei, they have the Jin Kingdom in front of them and the Song Kingdom in the back. There are many crises. Once they remove such threats, they will become bigger, stronger, and enjoy higher At that time, will they still have the same power as before?"
Yelu Chenghui was stunned and didn't know how to answer Yelu Yuanyi's question.
"Once they become the only one, become the final winner, and even unify the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Liaodong, and Northern Great Wall, will they still be like this?"
Yelu Yuanyi turned his head and looked at Yelu Chenghui: "If they are still like this and have not changed at that time, then I think I will become like that, dedicated to the public, no selfish thoughts, and completely dedicated to this group. Give everything.”
Yelu Chenghui fell silent.
He didn't know what to say.
Although everything is true now, no one knows what will happen in the future. No one knows where the Liberation Army will go in the future and what it will look like.
When they are no longer rebels, but rulers, will they remain the same?
This question remained in Yelu Chenghui's heart.
This experienced and capable bureaucrat decided to spend the next few years carefully observing everything about the Liberation Army group to confirm his and Yelu Yuanyi's guesses.
Is all this a mirror image, or is it an unprecedented and magnificent undertaking?
