Chapter 189 Coward Ma Zhou (1)
Chen Fei understood the reason and would not do anything to attack the gentry, because in this situation of insufficient productivity, it would simply be like pressing the gourd and floating up the gourd, which would not be able to hit the attack. You might be able to defeat a gentry, but there would definitely be a new gentry rising. The way to eradicate the gentry is to increase productivity and increase more and more people who can participate in studying and learning culture. Only in this way can more people join the ranks of scholars and form a situation where the flow of water is not rotten. If you barely let some people study in the situation of insufficient productivity, the final result will only be to cultivate a group of new gentry, and there will be no substantial changes.
"Let's go and have a rest!" Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei found a restaurant to take a break. After all, long journeys are very tiring, so he wanted to take a break before taking office.
"The gentry is unjust, and it has cut off my future! I, Ma Zhou, is a talented person, can only stay here as a small assistant teacher. It's really useless."
Many people around him heard this and stayed away from this drunkard. Seeing this guy drunk, Chen Fei suddenly realized something?
"Ma Zhou, is it that Ma Zhou?" Chen Fei suddenly remembered the information he was looking through the information about his righteous brother Chang He at that time, where there was a man named Ma Zhou.
"Chang He recommends Ma Zhou, this is a historical allusion? It should be that Ma Zhou!" Chen Fei thought.
Chen Fei took the initiative to come to the drunk Ma Zhou and said, "How come the aristocrats are unrighteous? How did you cut off your future?"
The drunk Ma Zhou immediately said, "I am full of knowledge, but I can only be an assistant teacher in a state school here. Do you think it's a waste of talent? Isn't it that the gentry, the gentry has occupied the official position, so I don't have a chance?"
Chen Fei said, "You have great talent? I didn't see it, but I saw a drunk man talking nonsense here!"
"Hmph, if I hadn't been employed, how could I come here to drink and have fun? It was all caused by the aristocratic people." Ma Zhou said.
"Nonsense! I don't know whether you have talent or not, but your attitude towards work is very problematic. Since your boss has arranged for you to be an assistant to a state school, you have to do things well. When is the time now? At the beginning of the afternoon in the morning, where should you be? You should work in the imperial government now, but you are drinking and having fun here? What kind of work attitude is your? With your work attitude, think about if you are your boss, will you promote such subordinates? If you are my subordinate, I will definitely fire you! I really don't know what happened to your state governor, but you still keep you here. The government uses money to support you guys, not to let you drink, but to let you do things. But if you don't do what you should do when you work now, you actually drink here. Do you think you deserve to be promoted?" Chen Fei immediately cursed.
Ma Zhou suddenly woke up from his drunkenness and said angrily: "I have the talent of the world, how can I condescend to be an assistant teacher in a state school here?"
Chen Fei continued to sneer and said, "I didn't see that you are talented. But I just saw that you didn't even do a good job in teaching assistants in a state. You said you are talented. Who would you believe it to? Have you ever heard of a prime minister who can't even manage a county well?"
Ma Zhou suddenly fell silent, as if he was also reflecting on his own affairs. At that time, he claimed to be talented and should do something grand and grand. However, his ideal was full and the reality was very skinny. He could only seek the position of an ordinary civil servant. In the past few years, he had a small promotion and became an assistant teacher in the provincial school, but after all, he was still an inequality official. He was not even down from the ninth rank. This was a big gap with his ideal. His ideal was to be a prime minister and do something grand and grand. How could he be willing to waste time here? Now Ma Zhou is already twenty-seven years old, although he is also young for later generations. However, for ancient officials, he was a very awkward age. At this age, Ma Zhou was still an ordinary scholar and had not been able to become an official in the midst of the ranks. He was already old.
So he started to drown his sorrows by drinking and began to stop working seriously. Then he was passive and lazy, and was very lazy in all kinds of work, and was often scolded. But Ma Zhou didn't care. He was obviously used to it. He was still immersed in his own world, as if the whole world was sorry for him, not that he didn't work hard.
Later, he thought that his status as a poor family harmed him. Because he was a scholar from a poor family, not those aristocratic family, he thought that others discriminated against him. He thought that it was the officials of those aristocratic family, and that excluded him, which caused the consequences now. He believed that he was not appreciated by talent, and that no one appreciated him. So he could only drown his sorrows by drinking, thinking that he was suppressed by the aristocratic family, so he could not be promoted to a high-ranking official step by step.
Chen Fei shook his head when he saw Ma Zhou's situation. Chen Fei didn't know if the gentry suppressed him. Although there might be some suppression, Chen Fei thought that Ma Zhou was not worthy of suppressing him at all. Ma Zhou actually came to a restaurant to drink during working hours. If he was a civil servant in later generations doing this, he would probably be fired if he knew about it. If Chen Fei was the boss of such a person, he would never appreciate a subordinate who drank during working hours. Such a person would not be able to do anything more than to succeed.
If Chen Fei hadn't known that he was a celebrity in history and the prime minister in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, who would take him seriously? He would just treat him as a madman who speaks wildly. Chen Fei could not see any uplifting demeanor in him, and he seemed like a decadent person who drank alcohol to drown his sorrows. Such decadence, as a boss, would never value such a person. Only the boss who had a burned brain would think about promoting such a person.
"Ma Zhou, you are just a coward!" Chen Fei suddenly shouted with a wake-up call.
"coward?"
Ma Zhou suddenly became furious. As a person who claims to be a real man and wants to do something, how can he allow others to call him a coward? In ancient times, cowards were cowardly and inaction. Ma Zhou claimed to be a talented person with great talent, and of course he could not tolerate others insulting him as a coward. So of course Ma Zhou had to stand up and argue with Chen Fei, and of course he could not let Chen Fei say that he was a coward in this way, which would have a great impact on him.
