"So this year, will our family go to other places to pay New Year's greetings?" After courtesy, Feng Ziying now also wants to ask about the arrangements at home.
Since I was not at home, Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu should discuss it and then report it to my mother and the others before handling it. I was busy leaving and didn't mention it, and I didn't ask about it when I came back, which was an oversight.
"Of course I went. The three grandma and the wives discussed it, and in the name of the master and uncle, they sent people to each house..." Yuanyang recalled, "Like Qi Ge Lao, King Zhongshun, King Zhonghui, Zhang Shangshu, Huang Shangshu, Qiao Youdu Yushi, Guan Shangshu, Cui Shangshu, Chai Shilang, Han Shilang all sent people to their houses..."
No matter how close the Feng family is to these families, the Spring Festival visit is indispensable. Especially in Feng Ziying's absence, this kind of human relationship needs to be reflected even more. In addition to these teachers and colleagues, some seemingly not so Important or less close relationships also need to be consolidated and deepened through these human interactions.
For example, the two current mountain chiefs and presidents of Qingtan Academy, some colleagues who were originally in the Hanlin Academy, and those from the original three sides and four towns who have been transferred back to the capital to be idle in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, these all need to be taken into consideration.
"Are these the only people?" Feng Ziying frowned.
Yuanyang seemed to be aware of Feng Ziying's dissatisfaction and quickly shook her head: "Of course it's more than that. Just the list of people who need to be contacted and New Year greetings has been discussed for a long time by the three grandmothers and wives. They should have taken everything into consideration. I still have the specific list of names, but I didn’t bring them with me right now, so I might as well go and get them for you.”
"Okay, you don't have to do that now." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "I'm mainly interested in who comes to visit our house right now."
It is not necessarily the case that the person waiting for you needs to continue to contact and have a close relationship, but this at least represents an attitude and a tendency of the other party. You can also screen and compare here.
"Guo Yaosheng? Which family is this from?" Feng Ziying seemed a little confused when she saw the names on the roster. She had some impressions, but she couldn't remember them.
The gift list was interesting, including two strong horses, and some miscellaneous gifts, including two lapis lazuli stones and a piece of amber.
A strong horse is nothing, but lapis lazuli and amber are not too expensive in Hexi, but they are quite expensive in the capital city. After all, these are items produced in the border areas and even outside the territory. They are rare in the mainland. Rareness is valuable, but wealthy people are not fashionable for such foreign objects. On the contrary, rich families are very rare about these things, so whether they are valuable or not depends on who the customer is.
"This slave has some impression of a man with a beard and a red face, and a foreign accent, which is somewhat similar to the accents of the second and third aunts. It seems that I know you, Mrs. You, and was brought here by Mrs. You..." Yuanyang frowned. After thinking hard, I finally remembered it.
And the You family's knowledge? Feng Ziying was stunned, the accent in Hexi?
Feng Ziying had some impressions. He was the general in Ganzhou Town who fought with him against Liu Baichuan and Liu Dongyang's attack. He was a colleague with He Zhisheng. He was seriously injured in the first battle. He had a deep impression. However, after he left Ganzhou, he also specially asked someone to help him. I went to greet him, but there was not much contact after that. It has been a few years. It seems that this guy has not visited in the past few years. Of course, it may be because it is too far away, but what is the reason for visiting this year?
"Well, I understand, Jin Chuan'er, go and ask Yu Chuan'er to find his name card, and I'll take a look." In addition to the name, the name card also contains some implicit language, which may not be apparent at first glance. You can understand clearly, but according to the situation, you can know some hidden meanings.
There must be some other intention behind this, but Feng Ziying doesn't care.
He was willing to make contacts with officers from these border towns. Didn't his father accumulate contacts step by step in this way?
However, my current conditions are much better than those of my father. He is not only a civil servant who was born in the imperial examination, but also a martial artist. He also has the status of the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, which is both civil and military. It can be said that he is good at winning people's hearts and making connections. This is a good time, which is one of the main reasons why everyone is willing to be a Beijing official. Compared with the local contact area, the Beijing official, of course, refers to someone who has
Beijing officials who have certain power and rich experience will have much richer network resources.
Not to mention anything else, Bing Jing and Tan Jing are much richer.
Feng Ziying continued to flip through the pages, and the more she read, the more frightened she became. Many names that she had no memory of appeared on the list. Even if her place of origin was marked, she still had no memory. She still had to find the name card and examine it carefully. Know the origin.
Of course, there must be many people who have never met each other, but who want to make an impression on the Feng family, including officials, businessmen, and clan members, and they need to be carefully screened and understood.
Seeing Jia Yucun's post, Feng Ziying couldn't help but smile. She specially pulled out Jia Yucun's gift list and looked at it.
The gifts were quite generous, including specialties from the south of the Yangtze River and valuable precious things. One was specially given to Lin Daiyu. It was obvious that Jia Yucun also understood that his status as a female student in the government was no longer what it used to be.
This is a character with an agile mind, who lives a very nourishing life both in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" and in this world.
Of course, this guy in "Dream of Red Mansions" ended up in jail because of the fight with his disciples, but that was due to political strife, which doesn't mean that this guy can't do anything.
In this life, this guy at least performed well. Even Nanjing did not change the prefect of Jinling who was right under his nose. This is quite extraordinary.
You must know that Jia Yucun was not part of Prince Yi Zhong’s party before, and had little connection with Zhen Yingjia, Tang Binyin, Jia Jing and others. Prince Yi Zhong also needed many important positions to reward those who served him, but he did not touch the prefect of Jinling. Jia Yucun is enough to show how extraordinary this guy is.
However, it seems that Jia Yucun is also aware that the entire Zhou Dynasty is about to undergo major changes this year. Whether it is Jiangnan, Huguang, or the North and the border, the situation will usher in drastic changes. How long can the puppet dynasty in Nanjing continue to exist? A question mark needs to be raised, so it is appropriate to take precautions. It is probably Jia Yucun's top priority to pick up this thread and even have closer contact.
Feng Ziying didn't mind strengthening contact with this guy. In fact, this guy had already expressed his sincerity to the court and wrote a letter of surrender.
Of course, this situation is also very common. There are many certificates of allegiance and loyalty sent to the hands of important ministers in the imperial court. They all need to continue to stay in Jiangnan and are unwilling to resign, but they also need to make it clear to the imperial court. People with bad attitudes will adopt this opportunistic approach to achieve their goals.
However, those who can be qualified to send letters must be important ministers and important figures in the court who can speak up. Generally speaking, most of the cabinet ministers and seven ministers are ministers. For officials at the level of minister, they must be senior or Only those who are quite influential can do so. Feng Ziying did not expect that she would gradually begin to enter this sequence.
She sighed in her heart, but the expression on Feng Ziying's face did not change much. Her eyes continued to move on the roster. Who else is there?
Thanks to Wenli Xie, Huanshan Xu, and Ziyu Hou.
Feng Ziying was in a daze, and all the old things in Yongping Mansion came to mind. In fact, it had only been a few years since she left Yongping Mansion. She calculated with her fingers that it was only more than three years. She stayed in Yongping Mansion. The time was not long, less than two years in total, but the two years in Yongping Mansion were extremely important to me, allowing me to understand how to serve as an official in the "basic government" at the prefecture level.
Xie Wenli was the magistrate of Luanzhou at that time, Xu Huanshan was the magistrate of Lulong County, and Hou Ziyu was the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture. It should be said that these three officials had more dealings with each other during their tenure as the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture.
And these three are also typical local snake characters.
It cannot be said that they are colluding with the local gentry. After all, compared with the officials in Leting and Changli, the two magistrates, Xie Wenli and Xu Huanshan, can still maintain a reasonable attitude and are still supportive of the affairs in the government.
After all, the local gentry in Yongping Prefecture was very powerful. Even if he went to serve as a co-president as a Hanlin Academy editor, he had a difficult time at the beginning. If there was no opportunity for the Mongolian invasion to open up the situation, I am afraid that the follow-up would not be so smooth.
Although these two people have close relations with the local gentry, they also use various means to beat them
Intimidating the local gentry is much better than the situation in Leting and Changli where they were completely wrapped up in a ball and worked for women.
Hou Ziyu was born in the government and had some connections in the government. He initially got along with Feng Ziying, but as Feng Ziying became more and more aggressive and even the prefect Zhu Zhiren took the initiative to cooperate, he also moved closer to Feng Ziying.
Two people like Xie Wenli and Xu Huanshan can be regarded as characters close to Feng Ziying in the later years of Yongping Mansion. However, Feng Ziying's time in Yongping Mansion was too short. When the relationship between these people and Feng Ziying became closer, Feng Ziying left. , so even Feng Ziying felt a little regretful.
Fortunately, he was succeeded by Lian Guoshi, who could be considered to be in line with his own policies. However, the policies could be continued in the same line, and Xiao Gui and Cao followed, but the personal connections could not be continued.
Feng Ziying didn't expect that he could get close to him in two years. After he arrived at Shuntian Mansion, these people came to visit him during the holidays, but they just walked around normally.
But this time, looking at the gift list, it seems that it is not that simple, especially since these three people almost came together. What does this mean?
Feng Ziying looked at the three sumptuous gift lists and was lost in thought for a moment.
