Chapter 295 Mr. teach me
The people around Xu Bai didn't know what their adults had thought about in the tea shop. They just knew that after drinking two cups of tea, their adults stood up and walked out of the tea shop. The cold smell on their bodies had disappeared without a trace, just as if they had just dealt with the disgusting demon man, and had been washed clean on their adults with these two cups of hot tea.
"Go to the Qing army road!"
Xu Bai ordered that the group identified the direction and headed towards the Qing army's yamen.
It seemed that something had happened not long ago when I arrived at the Qing army and Taoist yamen last time. Thinking about taking the unlucky assistant from the yamen that day and letting Wang Jinsong, the chief officer, take charge of the yamen for the time being. Now that the big king flag is changing on the city, Wang Jinsong is already a regular assistant minister of the Qing army and the legitimate yamen. There are too many things happening during this period.
However, this somewhat dilapidated yamen is still dilapidated. Those people in the yamen who come in and out seem to have not changed much. Even when they walked into the yamen, Xu Bai saw the osmanthus tree leading to the back yamen, it was still extremely crisp.
A group of Jinyiwei entered the door, and someone even recognized Xu Bai and had already spread the news. Wang Jinsong hurriedly walked out of the inner yamen with a middle-aged scholar. As soon as he saw Xu Bai, his face was filled with smiles.
"Mr. Xu, you came just right. When you told me last time, you had some clues and were wondering when to report!"
The middle-aged scholar beside him had a smile on his lips and also gave Xu Bai a gift with Wang Jinsong.
"It's not an order, it's a request for help from Mr. Wang. After all, I'm not from Tianjin. Even if there are any outstanding people here in Tianjin, I will not be able to meet you!"
Xu Bai smiled and said, "This is a private matter, not a public matter. You and me will be exempted from reporting or something!"
"Mr. Xu is indeed friendly to the people!" Wang Jinsong gave Xu Bai a thumbs up, then pointed to the scholar beside him and said, "This Mr. Wang Defa is a famous scholar in Tianjin. He was a juren. He was once in Datong Town and had been counseling military affairs for several years. However, his luck was not very good. He caught Shi Heng's rebellion and the Qing army in the court, so he was sent back to his hometown. Thinking that he was familiar with military affairs, my Qing army had just started to work on it, and there were many places where Mr. Wang helped plan. However, my yamen here was too small, and Mr. Wang's talent was afraid that he could not play one or two. It happened that Lord Xu recruited talents, so I took the liberty to recommend it to Lord Xu!"
"Wang Defa?" Xu Bai's face showed a strange look when he heard this name: "Wang Defa?"
"Wang Yu has met Lord Xu!" Wang Defa bowed to Xu Bai again: "The word "Defa" is given by his elders. Do you think there is anything wrong with it?"
"It just reads a bit strange!" Xu Bai smiled slightly: "There is nothing wrong, I just remember a popular slang in my hometown. However, if it is said, it is a bit unrespectful, so I won't say it anymore!"
"Those who can get to Master Xu's ears must not be ordinary slang. If you have the chance, Wang would really want to go to the ten miles of Qinhuai to see the slang of Master Xu's hometown!"
"Is that true?"
While speaking, several people walked into the inner yard. Wang Jinsong would do something. Knowing that the person he recommended, Xu Bai would definitely take the exam for the school. By calling someone to serve tea and snacks last time, he retreated, leaving Xu Bai and Wang Yu together.
"I won't ask about Mr. Wang's background or something!" Xu Bai said with a smile: "Mr. Wang must have inquired about my official's affairs, and I think he knows that as long as I know these things about my official background and experience, I will definitely be clear about them!"
"Because I know, I dare not speak nonsense!" Wang Yu nodded with a smile. He didn't know if it was because he was really talented or Xu Bai's age, which made him feel that he didn't have any pressure. He looked very calm and even had a bit of free and easy taste.
Xu Bai has not come into contact with many scholars, especially those who are authentic and have a fame and fortune and have actually done things in the court. Shangluo is one, but he is a talented man who is the third year of the year. Even when he was in trouble, he was also a attendant of the prince. Now he has entered the cabinet, which is definitely a different vision than ordinary scholars.
To be honest, Xu Bai was psychologically shorter in front of Shang Lu. It was not because he was afraid of Shang Lu, but because he knew very well that people like Shang Lu were considered as representatives of orthodox scholars in the Ming Dynasty. He practiced the Confucian concept of "cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and pacifying the world". He could respect such people, ask for advice, and even be a teacher and a friend. However, as subordinates, he could use them as an aide, and even use them as a staff member, and even if he wanted to do so.
He felt that this was disrespectful to scholars like Shang Lu, and it was also awkward for himself.
Xu Youzhen is also a scholar, but in Xu Bai's heart, Xu Youzhen is afraid that she is not as good as carrying shoes for Shang Lu. Not to mention knowledge and ability, but to behave in terms of character, with Xu Youzhen's character of both the two ends of the rat, who forgets the meaning of profit, is definitely a two-part scholar who is completely different from Shang Lu. The greater the ability of this scholar, the greater the harm it causes, so it is better to have fewer scholars in the world!
In addition to these two kinds of scholars, Xu Bai also has a strange thing around him, that is, Yang Li, a Qianhu Office, who is now a Qianhu Office of the Jinyiwei Nanfu Department. To be honest, many times Xu Bai really didn't remember that he was a scholar. In addition to his catchphrase "convincing people with reason", this guy doesn't look like a scholar on weekdays.
However, the Wang Yu and Wang Defa in front of him really fit the kind of useful scholar in Xu Bai's mind.
The sour and corrupt spirit of scholars who have a background, experience, and no longer study hard, have given them enough knowledge and ability to do things for the court. More importantly, such people know awe and understand the degree of determination. If they use it well, they will definitely be better than Yang Li, a scholar who is not like a scholar.
Of course, it is still necessary to take the exam. He has not yet reached the point of picking up the person who knows a literacy.
"You should know what I'm doing in Tianjin!"
"Before sir, Wang came back to Tianjin!" Wang Yu nodded: "For the smoky and chaotic city at that time, Wang only regretted that he had no right and was powerless. He was thunderous and used to drive away evil spirits in Tianjin and did something that Wang wanted to do but could not do. Wang thanked the people of the city for the whole city!"
Wang Yu stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Bai.
"I won't say this!" Xu Bai shook his head: "At present, there are fewer people in this city calling me 'Xu Behead'? This is not a good thing, but I don't care. What I want to say is not this!"
"Sir, please speak!"
"After the White Lotus Rebellion was put down in Tianjin, I once sent people to arrest all the people in the city who had connections with the White Lotus Sect outside the city and were imprisoned! That is, several farms outside the city, and they are strictly controlled by the people under the supervision of my Jinyiwei. However, in fact, I have a headache for these people. Thousands of people are locked in this farm. It will take at least one year for them to grow exported food to support themselves. During this period, I not only have to support them, but also have to spend the imperial court's military, horses, money and food to watch over them. I don't know what you don't think about this matter?"
"It's not a few villages anymore!" Wang Yu shook his head slightly: "As far as I know, many people in the city have relatives in the village outside the city, so they have also built houses near the village. Now, a new town is almost formed near those villages!"
"Are you already like this?" Xu Bai frowned, imagining the farm with thousands of people, plus their relatives outside, the needs of these people to eat, drink, defecate, and urinate, seemingly it is possible to spontaneously form a town with tens of millions of people.
"This is really a bit troublesome!"
"Actually, it's not a big trouble!" Wang Yu smiled slightly: "I think, although the lord is acting fiercely, he did not kill these thousands of people unjustly that day. Then he would not think about taking their lives afterwards. However, the court's laws are here. For these people, the most severe punishment is to execute them. Since they are not allowed to die, it is natural to be exiled to them!"
"But these people have been staying outside Tianjin City and have not been exiled by the adults. I think the adults have considered that these people are strictly considered remnants of the White Lotus Sect. If they do not completely cleanse themselves, these exiles will be a disaster wherever they go. They will not only harm themselves, but also the military soldiers wherever they go. The methods of deceiving people's hearts in these cults are ever-changing, and we must guard against them!"
"I really think so!" Xu Bai slapped his thigh, feeling like he found a soulmate: "I can't bear to kill them, but if they are allowed to leave my sight, I'm really afraid that they will cause trouble again!"
"If you can't kill or let go, then you can only make them adults!" Wang Yu shook his head: "Aren't they evil gods who practice those cults? Now when they are facing the disaster of killing, their evil gods will not come to save them. But the adults say one word to let them live and let them die when they die. Compared with those evil gods, I think they are better than to believe in adults directly!"
"I don't do this kind of cult!" Xu Bai glanced at the other party vigilantly. He understood the other party's meaning, but this method is absolutely not advisable.
"No need!" Wang Yu shook his head: "You can buy the few farms outside the city. These people are tenants of the adult farm, and those imperial guards who care about them may as well change them to their own servants. Then, the lives and death of these people will not be in the court, but in the adults themselves. It is their blessing to be kind to them, and it is their life and death. Among the thousands of people, there will never be everyone who is willing to be in this field for the rest of their lives. There will always be people who want to be a new person and live a good life. As time goes by, these people will always appear slowly. But the adults will give them some small favors. I think, maybe here, the adults do not need to be a servant, and this is still the adults' territory."
"This method sounds good!" Xu Bai pondered for a moment. This was because of human nature. It was not a good thing that he had been a counselor of military affairs in the border army. This method was a dignified plot. Even if the people in the village realized their intentions, they could only follow their own ideas.
Subtle influence, divide and transform it.
"However, this takes too long, and it may take three to five years to achieve results. Besides, if those who are dead and stubborn among these people may not be able to achieve results in three to five years!"
"If it's like that, you're not afraid!" Wang Yu smiled and said, "Thousands of people always die of old age, and there will always be newborns. It's okay if they are all dead guys. Starting from these newborn children, adults can open schools in the village so that every newborn must come to read and read. These newborns are like white paper. Isn't it better to apply whatever they want to!"
He nodded and said, "Yes, it may take longer, but how old the adults are, they can completely afford to wait. A big trouble that is difficult to deal with has finally become the place where the energy source continues to provide loyal and brave men to adults. This deal, even if it takes some time, is cost-effective!"
Xu Bai pondered for a moment, stood up with a smile: "I would have met Mr. Wang earlier!"
"I dare not!" Wang Yu also stood up: "Wang felt the same way. If he met an adult as soon as possible, why would Wang have wasted so many years of sour articles, but he had no place to write them!"
"If you don't dislike me, please help me!" Xu Bai bowed slightly to Wang Yu: "Xu Bai is from a market and acts recklessly. He needs people like Mr. Wang to give advice and plan!"
"As long as Lord Xu doesn't have enough money to support Wang's family, what's wrong with selling Wang's sour and rotten articles to Lord Xu!"
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Wang Jinsong outside heard the laughter from the inner yard and didn't know where to get out. When he saw that both of them were smiling, he was immediately overjoyed.
He recommended Wang Yu, and in the future, there will be many benefits for Xu Bai. At least when he is in trouble, he finally has a backer.
"I have made me prepare the banquet. I am so happy today. Lord Xu Ru said how I have to drink two drinks before leaving!"
"No!" Xu Bai shook his head and was stunned when he saw Wang Jinsong. He laughed: "If you want to drink, you can drink it. Today, you can't ask you to invite this wine. If Mr. Wang is fine, go to our mansion to sit together and introduce some people to you!"
"According to Dongweng's arrangements!" Wang Yu replied with a smile.
