People in official circles are very realistic.
Even if there is no wind to steer the ship, it is still important to follow the trend and avoid disadvantages in everything. Now, when a good opportunity suddenly comes up, how can we not work hard and take a step further?
The reason why they respect Qi Yu is entirely because of his high reputation and meritorious service, and their admiration comes from the bottom of their hearts. However, after all, he was a local official guarding the border and could not influence the personnel appointments of the staff.
But Lu Boxuan is different.
As the second assistant in the cabinet, he is in charge of drafting and overseeing six ministries. If he wants anyone to be promoted and make a fortune, it is a simple matter of effort.
It is precisely for this reason that local officials rush to show their courtesy.
This is not difficult to understand, but the high-profile attitude shown by Lu Boxuan is a bit evocative.
Obviously, this move implies recruiting 'disciples'. The purpose is naturally to create their own power group in this way.
To put it more bluntly, it means paving the way for forming cliques for selfish gains and for upper and lower groups to work together.
Qi Dalang thought about it briefly and understood the truth.
However, he chose to pretend not to see it.
Back to business.
It was not until late in the evening that Qi Yu sent his eldest son Qi Xiao to respond, in order to improve the etiquette of the other party's assassination.
Lu Boxuan made some arrangements, and then went to visit him with Yi Zhi.
The etiquette in each circle is very thoughtful, but the timing is confusing.
In terms of etiquette, one should choose to enjoy the posthumous grace at noon, and place an incense table to formally welcome them. Only in this way can the solemnity of etiquette be demonstrated.
But now the invitation is at dusk, which is obviously a little inappropriate.
Lu Boxuan was confused in his heart, but came to the door of Qi Mansion with a smile on his face.
inform
Afterwards, the door of Qi's house opened.
The owner of the family, Qi Dalang, walked out with a cane with trembling steps and personally welcomed the old boss.
"I have injured my body due to overwork, and I am not well behaved. I hope Master Lu will not blame you."
"Shaobao has worked hard and devoted himself to writing documents. He has worried about our country. Now he is hurting his mother. It will inevitably strain his body and torture his spirit. It is understandable that he is not well-mannered. It is precisely because of this that the Queen Mother is Paixuan came over to visit."
"Thanks to the temple for caring about me, I am so grateful that I can't help but shed tears. Mr. Lu, this is not the place to talk. Please come home!"
"Young Master please come first!"
This seemingly innocuous opening statement caused different ripples in the hearts of the two of them.
Qi Yu was thinking: Mr. Lu does not call himself Shaocheng, but calls him Shaobao, which is obviously a sign of distinction. This is very different from previous interactions.
Lu Boxuan secretly thought: Mr. Qi's face looked as usual, and he was full of energy when he spoke. He did not seem to be suffering from illness at all. Could it be that he was pretending to be ill on purpose?
The two of them had their own thoughts and came to the living room with smiles on their faces.
Without waiting for Qi Yu to give instructions, Liu Quan and Yin Tao served fragrant tea together.
Seeing this, Lu Boxuan hurriedly said: "Oh my god, how dare you trouble Madam Guo to condescend to serve tea? It's really embarrassing for me."
Qi Yu waved his hand indifferently and said, "When an old friend comes to visit us, we should focus on personal relations first. Why bother with the red tape? Master Lu, please sit down and sit down."
Pay attention to personal relationships?
Oh well!
After hearing this, Lu Boxuan, who was just about to move out and pursue Feng Yizhi, quickly stopped and brought the topic back to personal relationships.
Besides, the Qi family didn’t show any intention to welcome the order.
If the incense case is done forcefully, the atmosphere will inevitably be disturbed.
Seeing that the other party was so considerate of himself, Qi Yu immediately smiled freely. After chatting for a few more words, he waved his hand and ordered people to start serving food.
It was obvious that he was well prepared for this reception.
Faced with the overwhelming hospitality, Lu Boxuan had no choice but to sit down at the main seat, while Qi Yu stayed behind.
The banquet was not lively. There were only two of them as the guest of honor, and it felt more like a private conversation between the two.
After drinking for three rounds, Lu Boxuan took the lead in talking.
The opening was relatively light-hearted, with no sensitive discussion involved.
But while we were chatting, we got into the topic of governing the country.
"Shaobao once said that the development of science and technology cannot be separated from the support of talents. So in the eyes of Mr. Qi, what kind of people can be called talented people?"
"A talented person? Hmm..."
Qi Yu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Talents can be divided into many types. They are not only high and low, but also praised and criticized. They are both good and bad, so how can we generalize them?"
When Lu Boxuan heard this, he was startled at first, and then he hurriedly raised his hands and asked for advice: "I would like to hear the wisdom of this!"
Qi Dalang took a sip of wine and said slowly: "How many talents can there be in the world, handsome generals and capable talents, geniuses and wizards and ghosts, heroes and all-around talents and mediocre talents, as well as idiots, crooked talents and minions. Those with crooked talents are A rooster, a dog, a thief, a slave, a person who obeys what is told. A handsome man strategizes; a general man, a commanding officer who is calm; a genius man, who has extraordinary abilities; a genius man, who often does unexpected things. A fool does not know how to adapt. , mediocre people are mediocre, talented people are down-to-earth, and geniuses are
Self-taught without a teacher; a talented person has outstanding abilities, and a versatile person is proficient in everything. The high and low praise and blame among them can be clearly seen through comparison. "
This argument is very interesting and refreshing to Lu Boxuan.
His interest was immediately aroused.
He smacked his lips as if understanding, and then continued to ask: "So, those with high talents are respected and those with inferior talents are inferior?"
Qi Yu shook his head and continued: "No, no! Don't think that if you are a prodigy, you will have a prosperous career, and don't think that if you are a mediocre servant, you will be miserable. You know, employers like talents. , but they are worried that their talents are difficult to control; at the same time, employers also like slaves, but they are worried that their abilities are insufficient and they will be difficult to use. With these complementary strengths and weaknesses, only those who combine the two have a chance to stand out. "
After saying that, he looked at Lu Boxuan with deep meaning.
The latter also read the theoretical logic from these words and nodded in approval.
However, he still couldn't figure out what Qi Dalang's argument was, so he chose not to answer the conversation and remained silent.
Qi Yu picked up a hodgepodge of 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' and said, seemingly alluding to it: "As a matter of fact, employers generally do not choose a single type of talent, but skillfully combine different talents according to the needs of the time and situation. A camp to provide conditions for future use.”
Lu Boxuan's heart trembled when he heard this, and he seemed to realize something.
Obviously, there is something in this argument, and it even means something else.
Doesn’t his recent efforts to win over officials fulfill the meaning of these words?
Well, that should be right!
It seemed that Qi Yu had already guessed what he was thinking, but he just didn't explain it clearly.
Just saying.
