Chapter 287 Don’t blame the talent for being useless

When Xu Si heard the other party's introduction, he suddenly felt familiar. When the shopkeeper brought the wine over, he remembered who Wang Wei was and asked: "But Sicang from this prefecture joined the army, Wang Sima? I have heard that Wang Sima was a Jinshi and has been admired for a long time."

Xu Si knew who it was. He often passed by here and was quite familiar with the names of local officials. Wang Wei had heard of this and some of the information was sorted out by someone. He was a very powerful person, good poetry, painting, and piano. He passed the Jinshi at a young age and is now a fifth-rank official.

Wang Wei was not surprised at Xu Si's identities. People who do business naturally had to inquire about local officials. However, the fact that Xu Si mentioned as the military position of Sicang was a little lonely. After all, he was no longer in the capital. When he was in a local area, he was not the official he liked, so he was not as good as Tailecheng at the beginning.

He took a big sip of wine and breathed vigorously, as if he wanted to exhale the boredom in his heart. Then he said to Xu Si: "Sima Yidang, there are so many trivial matters. It is not easy to find a leisurely life. I finally came out today. Why not the farmer who was farming can often smell the smell of the soil, raise a cow, lead it around, pick up grass and feed it."

"My brother dare not agree with this. He is better for the officials. He can do something for the people. If the Si Cang joins the army, as long as the warehouse is managed and the accounts are aligned, so that the things in the warehouse are not damaged and maintained regularly, and when the state is used for the people, he will be happy.

If farming farmers can increase their income, businessmen can allow goods to flow into the market, and workers can make better tools. Scholars promote education, why worry about the unrest of our Tang Dynasty? For example, this small wine shop is small, but it can also provide convenience for pedestrians to stop and rest.

If you let your brother come to join the army in Sicang, you must manage the warehouse well, prevent the food in the interior from being eaten by rats, and prevent the cloth from being eaten by insects. If you have free space in the warehouse, you can plant some mushrooms. After drying, you can give it to the people in the yamen to eat, and you can also take it out and give it to the poor when the people are short of vegetables."

Xu Si refuted Wang Wei's idea of ​​trying to escape from the world. What's wrong with managing the warehouse? It's also a skill to manage it well. Someone has to do things in this world.

The people under the shed, after hearing Xu Si's words, their eyes lit up. When they looked at Xu Si, there was a hint of admiration in their appearance. People who already knew his identity had to sigh in their hearts. They all said that the Zhang and Wang families were good, especially Zhang Zhong, who loved the people as good as their sons. It seemed that it was true that the subordinates in the courtyard had such ambitions, how could the master family be worse?

"Uncle Xu, you said it very well. All officials in the world can be like Uncle Xu, so we will have a good life. Uncle Xu, my father just said, "I will go to Luoyang to study with you. In the future, I will also become an official and contribute to the people."

The bird looked admiring and decided to follow him.

Wang Wei, who was not surprised to be called out just now, was surprised. Looking at Xu Si again, he found that he was not a person who only cared about money. There were not many businessmen who could say this. After looking at Xu Si again, he turned his eyes on the iron box. Only then did he realize that there were dark patterns on the iron box.

Take it over and look closer. There are two lines of words on it. Take care of your health and pay attention to rest. The next line is difficult to do things thousands of miles away, and relatives are concerned about their relatives and hope for them.

At the end, a rice seedling standing on the moon was also drawn.

"Rice seedlings? Zhangjiazhuangzi, Sanshui County! Are you the inner courtyard of Zhang and Wang's families?" Wang Wei finally knew what the person he was talking to. The rice seedlings with different sizes are unique marks of Zhang and Wang's families. Whoever has been in the capital knows Zhangjiazhuangzi, Sanshui County.

That's right. I can't blame the fish in the iron box for being so delicious. No wonder Xu Si said something that was not like a businessman. He had any kind of servants. He also understood why Xu Si knew his identity and dared to refute an official. If there were too many officials in their family, how could he care about a fifth-rank official?

It has always been circulated in the capital. The inner courts of Zhang and Wang families can directly replace all officials in a state. Even if the officials in the eastern capital Luoyang die one day, as long as Zhang Zhong is sent over, all the government orders will be operated as usual, and what is said is not false. Xu Siding's position will probably do a good job.

After knowing what Xu Si is, Wang Wei's attitude became better. "I didn't expect Brother Xu to have such an identity. What Brother Xu said just now, Mo Jie kept it in mind and would definitely think of managing the warehouse in the middle of the state, but this position...oh~!"

Xu Si was still as peaceful as before, and listened to Wang Wei's words, "Brother Mojie feels that he is so talented. If he can't even manage a warehouse well, then even if he becomes the prime minister in the future, will the prime minister not need to consider the warehouse matter?

I don’t know anything else, but in the inner courtyard, if you want to do things, you must start from the beginning. For example, when I was sent out to do big business at the beginning, I didn’t do it for me if there was a business at the Zhang family. I was only responsible for setting prices at the market and learning while doing it.

After I arranged the market, I had a lot of experience and was sent out to do something else, but it was still not a big deal. Even if I was given to me at that time, I would not do it. I felt that what I learned was not enough and would delay the work of the master. It was not until I learned a lot later that I tried to go out and preside over the matter, and now I can stand alone.

I think the same should be true for the officials of the court. Now you are the prime minister. Do you know how to govern this country? What are the production in you clearly? What do the people want to plant? Why do some rivers have a stronger impact on the left bank than on the right bank? How can this impact on the embankment be less affected?

Not to mention that you must be proficient in everything, at least you must understand it. No matter how well you write poetry, you cannot govern the country, or how well you paint, it is useless to the people's livelihood. If you play the piano well, you cannot let the people eat more meat. If it is just like this, you can only arrange one thing and not take the overall situation. This aspect is called culture, and it is not the talent of the prime minister.

My master was the top scholar in the Jinshi class at the time, so why did he have to go to Huayuan County to become an official first? Why did he run to Luzhou again? Why didn’t he go to the capital now? Can’t he be able to enter? I have to learn. My young master won the loss of money in the economic war, but he still had to go to be a small official? My young lady led the army across thousands of miles, and she didn’t say she went to the Ministry of War to be the Minister of the Minister.

People must know what they want to do in the future and what they need to know. One step is not enough to reach the sky.”

Xu Si thought Wang Wei was not bad, so he said more to him. In fact, he told him to listen to himself. He had to do things solidly, otherwise his wings were not strong yet, and the higher he flew, the more he would fall, the more miserable he would fall.

At this time, not only Wang Wei was listening, but everyone around him was listening. The words were very ordinary, but some people knew about this principle but didn't do it.

A person next to him interrupted, "Yes, it should be so. I am the farmer. I also want one day the grain in the field can produce ten stones per mu, but I must plant it a little bit, pick out the good seeds from every year, plant it again next year, fertilize, weed, and irrigate. If you lack it, you don't have to expect to grow good crops. If an official doesn't know anything, how can the people live?"

Wang Wei was in his twenties and focused on other aspects. His family used to be good. He always felt that he was very good since childhood. He passed the Jinshi and got the position of Tailecheng. Even now he is a fifth-rank official.

I want to learn from the ancients to live in seclusion, or wait for a better position for myself, but I really didn't do it with the position of Sicang joining the army.

When he heard Xu Si's words, he realized many things. It's not that he didn't blame him for not caring about his official position. In addition to the many officials, the more important thing is that the Zhang family is not short of literary talent, and Zhang Zhong is the top scholar. In terms of practical work, the Zhang and Wang families are even more powerful. In this case, how can people respect him as a bad person even if he joins the army?

Wang Wei, the official of Zhang Zhong, also knew what was going on. He was jealous at the beginning. Why could Zhang Zhong choose an official by himself and go wherever he thought.

It turns out that Zhang Zhong spent his time selecting officials not to be promoted as quickly as possible, but to learn more, so as not to harm the country and the people in the future. The top scholar is willing to be a small county magistrate, and he feels that joining the army is low.

Blushing, when it comes to war, he is not as good as the girl Juanjuan, and when it comes to economics, he is not as good as the boy Xiaobao. He has gone to become a ninth-rank official, and he has not entered the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of War. But he insists on going to the capital to be a bigger official, hey~!

As soon as I felt that there was no chance, I wanted to learn from the ancients to live in seclusion, hoping that the court would pay attention to it. But now I finally understand that what the court needs is officials who can work, and the people do not want to meet a prime minister who only knows poetry and painting.

Seeing Wang Wei like this, Xu Si gave an idea.

"Brother Mojie, don't think that you can do nothing if you manage the warehouse. In fact, the warehouse can make money, just take risks and come secretly."

"How to make money?" Wang Wei wondered, is it a warehouse that is stealing things to make money? What should I do when I check the warehouse?

"There is old grain in the warehouse, and no one wants to eat it. Take it out and make wine. Don't let people find out. The wine will be sold for money. The wine lees are fed to pigs, and the pigs can be sold for money. If you buy new rice into the warehouse, wouldn't the money be too much? If you don't greedy for this money and buy all the rice, and when you check it above, you will find that there is too much rice, you can tell it out again, that's fine.

Remember to do it, you can only use old grain, not new grain. If you have less old grain for more than three years, you will not delay even if you open a warehouse. Or you can use your own money to buy enough new grain to storehouses and keep the grain in the warehouse in the warehouse. Then, when the money is sold out, you can take out your own money.

You may not have much money, so just do a warehouse first, and then use the money you earned to go back and forth. That's what I said, think about it carefully, and when I take the time, I will ask the young master, you have many ways and you are not afraid of causing trouble."

Xu Si gave Wang Wei an idea, and he didn't care whether he could do it or not. He didn't have the ability of a young master.

Wang Wei looked at Xu Si in surprise, and had to admire him. The inner courtyard of Zhang and Wang families is so powerful that he can do this?
