Chapter 15 Instigating Liu Kang to Buy an Official
"Curious, of course I'm curious!" Zhang Yu laughed, "Xu Shao said, 'The capable ministers in the world are in chaos, who is not curious?"
"Then you think Cao is a capable minister or a treacherous hero?" Cao Cao happened to be scratched to the point of itchyness, so he asked.
Although it was a ridiculous thing in his youth, Xu Shao's comments were indeed of great help to his subsequent career.
The more famous Xu Shao is, the more credible he makes for comments, the less he makes for comments, the more cautious he makes, and therefore the higher his credibility.
"The capable ministers in governing the world, the traitors in troubled times..." Zhang Yu looked at Cao Cao with deep meaning, "In turn, it is more appropriate."
Cao Cao was stunned, and then remembered the conversation with Zhang Yu before, and immediately understood.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the reason.
What is governing the world? There is no shortcut to promotion in the world. You can only survive and not become a traitor. You cannot kill a bloody path.
What is a chaotic world? The world is falling apart. When this crisis is at a critical moment, only the capable ministers can turn the tide and protect the country!
"Xu Shao, the vision of people seems not so accurate." Cao Cao took the initiative to admit Zhang Yu's statement.
"I haven't prepared yet. How can I give a correct evaluation when I was caught off guard?" Zhang Yu shook his head.
"It's just that Cao is even more curious!" Cao Cao looked at Zhang Yu, "This matter was more than ten years ago. At your age, a child who was only six or seven years old at that time, how did you know about this?"
"Zheng said, you can't say it, you can't say it!" Zhang Yu said in a divine manner.
"The Taoist priest bullies me a young student?" Cao Cao laughed, "I haven't said that!"
"There were so many leaders back then, do you know which one said it?" Zhang Yu asked, "In the past, hundreds of schools of thought controversial, there were still several schools of Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty, and now there are only the Spring and Autumn Schools left. Alas, the road is getting narrower and narrower."
"I don't know anything else. After hearing the Taoist priest's words... I think the Taoist priest may not have read many books." Cao Cao joked.
This is simply not cultural, but it is necessary to force the show of culture, and it ends up being inappropriate.
"Don't hit someone in the face, and don't expose the shortcomings when quarrels." Zhang Yu shook his head, "Cao Guoshu, you are so unkind!"
"Honest? Oh, it's true that Cao was rude, so I'm sorry for the Taoist priest." Cao Cao first came into contact with the word "kindness".
However, it did not affect his understanding of what this meant, so he bowed casually, which was considered a crime.
I don’t know anything. The two sides are more than a round apart, but Cao Cao feels it’s easy to communicate with Zhang Yu and there is no burden.
But I don’t know that Zhang Yu has a lot of skills in his “eloquence” and has been considering it with “strategy”. Every sentence is actually just right.
The two sides chatted for a while, and Cao Cao saw that the time was almost the same, so he naturally got up to say goodbye.
One thing that just came, I still need to deal with the matter that I had settled down.
Second, this is the King’s Mansion of Jinan, so it’s not good to bother you for too long.
"I have tens of thousands of church members..." Zhang Yu said at this time, "Just in the mountains south of Tugu County, the Prime Minister wants to make drastic moves against Jinan. Those messy lewd temples and the alchemists who cheat, are afraid they have to clean up, right?"
"As long as Taoist master practices the right path and is not a messy path, then the original state will not interfere." Cao Cao also gave a guarantee, but in fact, strictly speaking, it is not.
After all, whether it is the right way is not Zhang Yu has the final say, he has the final say!
"I am honest and tell you the actual situation, but you are in an official voice with me..." Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly.
"Ten thousand people, Cao must be careful when this number is used. Otherwise, Cao will go over and check it out and confirm it?" Cao Cao was a little embarrassed. It was a basic operation to make an official voice, and he felt a little embarrassed to be pointed out.
"Whatever, it's not shameful anyway." Zhang Yu shook his head.
When Zhang Yu said that, Cao Cao felt even more embarrassed. It was just one code to convert one code, and it still needed to confirm it.
"Then Cao Cao left?" As soon as Cao Cao left, Liu Kang immediately came to the main hall.
Judging from his excited look, he knew that the results of the drug test had come out.
"It should be something, so I said goodbye." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Senior brother, a capable prime minister has come to Jinan. You are blessed."
Liu Kang didn't know what luck he had, so he was named King of Jinan. Perhaps it was the same name as the first King of Jinan?
But during the reign of Emperor Ling, buying officials was popular, and almost all the county magistrates and chiefs of Jinan counties were bought.
If you don’t go on a career in the officialdom, you can even say that you are not learning and ignorant, and you will definitely not understand the governance and stability of the people.
The first thing I did when I took office was of course to get back the money I spent!
As expected, the taxes in other counties will probably be levied ten years later, right?
"That's great. I want to cure those guys who are lip service!" Liu Kang was very dissatisfied when he said this. "There are two counties, and they have been levied twenty years later..."
Zhang Yu was speechless. He thought his guess was already cruel enough, but he found that the actual situation was even more cruel than him.
As for the current situation of the great man, Shen Teng's words appeared in Zhang Yu's mind: "Destroy, hurry up, I'm tired!"
Zhang Yu felt that Tang Zhou had made great contributions until last year when the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out.
Without him, I guess I could hold it in for another ten or eight years!
What kind of righteousness is that people are levied for twenty years in advance, so why don’t they live the same life?
"But, this official can be removed from the exemption, but the money he has taken away cannot be returned. Not to mention, God knows what the new one is. Your Majesty has now sold official positions in the West Garden." Zhang Yu shook his head.
To be honest, he was a little suspicious. Did Ma Yuanyi go to Luoyang just to buy an official?
With Zhang Jiao's savings, buying a prefect or even a state governor is not a big problem.
Just say that if you buy all the official positions of a county and several counties, will the Huangtian Shengshi come?
To be honest, rebellion, to this point, Zhang Yu thought this was a joke!
Look at the Wudou Rice Sect next door, Zhang Lu is the prefect of Hanzhong and the leader, and how comfortable his life is.
"What should I do?" Liu Kang also felt that this was really possible when he heard this.
Once this new job comes, you will continue to make money, and the number of people who pay it to him will be reduced.
"The best way is to spend money to buy all the positions of these county magistrates. At that time, even if you appoint a cat and a dog, at least they are all senior brothers. Anyway, the situation will be much worse." Zhang Yu smiled.
"How much does that cost!" Liu Kang felt a little painful. If you buy all ten counties in Jinan, you will be very expensive!
"No need to buy them all, no matter how cruel Cao Cao is, he will never be able to remove all the officials." Zhang Yu shook his head, "There is the greatest possibility that 60 to 80% of the time, and there will be about two to four counties and county magistrates unchanged. According to this ratio, the senior brother only needs to actually master four counties and win over the remaining few counties. The new county magistrates from other counties can only be obedient."
After hearing this, Liu Kang took a brief consideration. If the four counties are concerned, the expenses will not be large.
"How about this!" Liu Kang immediately made the decision, "If Cao Cao was really as his junior brother said, he was drastic to Jinan Kingdom. The senior brother made up his mind to buy the positions of four county magistrates. If Tugu County is vacant, I hope my junior brother can take office, what about?"
Zhang Yu really didn't expect that Liu Kang would actually buy an official position for him!
I’m a little hesitant, it’s not good to be exposed to the world too early?!
I simply changed the topic: "Senior brother just came out from behind, full of glory. Could it be that the medicine has already been tested?"
Chapter completed!
