Chapter 204 Raising Food (Part 2)
He left the mansion of Duke Jin with a blue face, and Sun Chu was coming towards him. Seeing that Pan Yue had come out, Sun Chu hurriedly stepped forward and inquired: "Mr. Pan, what's going on?"
Looking at Pan Yue's expression, he knew that things were not good, but Sun Chu still had confidence in Pan Yue's verbal skills. Pan Yue's ability to become one of the major forces in the court was not only speculation, but also real materials.
"Yang Wenju has harmed people a lot. All the prefectures and counties have written to Duke Jin, saying that Yang Wenran's brothers are leading troops outside, and Yang Wenju is threatening, and the people in various places are full of grievances. Duke Jin is furious and ordered Yang Wenju to complete military rations within seven days." Seeing that there were no one around, Pan Yue complained while walking.
Sun Chu followed him and was shocked when he heard this, "The military rations are huge, and it is difficult to handle one month. Is it possible for Duke Jin to give seven days??"
"Hmph, I'm sorry for my brothers. Follow me to Yang Mansion first." Pan Yue strode into the frame, and Sun Chu followed, and the two of them were planning along the way.
Yang Yu was already in a state of great anxiety in the Yang Mansion. Raising military rations was not a temporary matter, but now the national treasury is empty, and all the places are not angry about the actions of the Yang brothers, so they wrote letters to "turn the blame". In the morning, Duke Jin summoned Pan Yue to discuss matters, but he had no response to his request for advice, and this matter was a big deal.
Fortunately, Pan Yue is here.
"Mr. Pan, I'm going to save you this time!" As soon as we met, Yang Yu knelt down first!
In terms of identity, Yang Yu is also a relative of Ma Yan of Jin Company. In terms of status, he is not as good as Pan Yue, but he is also noble. This time, Yang Yu also knew that things were difficult and he didn't care about his face and saved his life first.
Pan Yue was about to get angry, but he didn't want to see Yang Yu do this, and he was immediately piled up with a ball of deflated air.
"Wen Ju, why should you do this? Get up quickly." After a moment of stunnedness, Pan Yue hurriedly helped Yang Ju up.
"What is Mr. Pan's attitude when he was summoned by Duke Jin this time?" At this time, it would be in vain. Yang Yu said directly.
Pan Yue looked at Yang Lie with great grief and said word by word: "In seven days, the Minister of Jin Wen Ju collected military rations and transported them to Lianghuai, which was overtime... I'm afraid...ah!"
"Ah!? Seven days..." Yang Yu had a glimmer of hope. After all, he was a relative of the Sima family. Pan Yue could say a few more words, but he didn't expect that the result would be like this.
Sun Chu said helplessly, "Wen Ju, Wen Ju, officials from all over the country have not violated you, why do you have to offend them?"
Yang Yan said in surprise: "It is common for raising military rations, but the national treasury is insufficient, so it is common for them to obtain granaries in various places. These corrupt officials are too much. Then the granary is empty. How to buy military rations?"
Sun Chu said: "It's just that this matter is too urgent, which leads to people's resentment... Alas!"
Yang Qi looked sad and turned to Pan Yue and said, "Mr. Pan wants to save me!"
"What's wrong? Duke Jin only asked you to get the military rations within seven days, but he didn't say what to do after seven days." Pan Yue's eyes flashed with divine light and he said with a point of view.
"Ah... I'm not afraid of the jokes. I've asked all the money and grain borrowed by the ministers in the court, but I've got nothing. There is no surplus grain in the national granary. How can I do it based on my Yang family's strength?" Yang Qing said with a wry smile.
"Wen Ju is so confused?" Pan Yue saw that Yang Ju's face was bulging, and he knew it was because of anger. He couldn't bear to continue blaming him at the moment.
Seeing that Yang Yu was not sure about this, Sun Chu said: "Who is Wen Yu envoy to supervise the money and food?"
Yang Yu was confused and said in a daze: "Of course, my housekeeper is at home."
People often said that Yang Yu was smart, but now Pan Yue wanted to slap Yang Yu in the face to relieve his hatred. All the workers in the court were clear, and the ministers took their own responsibilities. They naturally had to find relevant officials to buy money and grain. How could this work be effective if the officials in their houses go to the scene?
It turns out that your Yang family treats this military ration as a treasure and wants to take it alone?
"Absurd! This is a key matter of the country. It should be supervised by relevant officials. How can I let my family do it? "Sun Chu couldn't help but shout when he saw that Pan Yue didn't speak.
The treacherous and slanderous are in power, and extravagance is becoming a trend. There are still many backbone men in the court, but most of them are sweeping the snow in front of the door, and no one is too stupid. Most of the people who are constantly promoted are confidants of the Sima family, as well as villains who are competing for the flames and possessing power.
What these people are good at is flattery, distinguishing the trend and observing the fire, and knowing nothing about governing the country and government affairs.
Some people say that the officials in the current dynasty do not understand such common sense? But you should know that the Wei State implemented the ninth-rank central law, and the selection of bureaucrats was controlled by the aristocrats and nobles. Children who were not as young as the ones in the family could hold high positions. They either hunt or enjoy wealth on weekdays. Who cares about government affairs?
Even if there are people who study hard, they are not for state affairs, but for talks. Exercising is nothing. Talk is about cleverness, but it has nothing to do with state government affairs.
What these people who talk about seem to make sense, but in reality, they are completely unrelated to reality. But together with the trend of talk, people rush to pass on it, so this seems to make some sense, but in fact, the "reason and wisdom" that is not a fool has become the criterion in people's minds.
How can the court be better if such a person is entrusted with important tasks in the court?
Yang Yu was considered a smart person, but Yang Yu just wanted to do something for life on weekdays. He had never been exposed to serious government affairs. After orders from above, he would naturally have to do it. The normal procedures of the court would not work in this era. If you want to accomplish things, you rely on relationships and tricks, as well as your strong financial resources.
Officials who do things according to the usual rules often have to wait for a long time without any results. But people walk around the door, stuff some gold and silver, and turn around and get things done. When they come to Jin Gong, who can do things well can be seen at a glance. There are many people who insist on themselves, but more people are greedy for self-interest. Over time, fools go through the legitimate procedures.
This is beneficial because it facilitates many people, but it also has disadvantages, which is that it affects the overall operation of the country.
All the officials of the court were dissatisfied with this atmosphere. After Sima Yan inherited the throne of Duke of Jin, he retired and retired. In the past three years, Shu Han has been booming, and even if there are shortcomings, it is a difference between heaven and earth compared to the Wei Kingdom in the eyes of corrupt state.
According to the ideas of the Yang Lie brothers and others, this matter is a tiring task, but it is also a good person. So collecting military rations, it is better to have more. The amount sent to the front line does not have to be sufficient, but the ones left in your own hands must be enough.
In the past, when I promoted individuals and had relationships, the housekeepers in the house came forward. Yang Wei never thought about anything else. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. He had such a good character, so the housekeeper could only be more domineering!
The so-called foxes pretend to be powerful, and the dogs rely on the power of others, and the big trees behind them are good for the shade. If the master is very calm, then his subordinates may not be arrogance. The virtue of the butler is self-evident, like Yang Qing, is self-evident.
Not to mention where the official ranks are placed in various prefectures, which one is a soft persimmon? In the capital, others are afraid of your Yang family. If you put them all over the country, the Yang family is just one of the countless wealthy families in the capital.
Your Yang Mansion is indeed quite powerful, but my backer may not lose to you!
After Yang Yu finally figured out the reason for the incident, Pan Yue and Sun Chu's noses were also pissed. At least, these two people were gradually getting involved in the lower-level officials. In addition to the crooked ways and potential rules all night, they were even more clever about the serious procedures in the court than Yang Yu, who became a tall, rich and handsome man in one day.
After all, the Yang family relied on the girl who married Sima Yan.
Before, the Yang family relied on financial resources.
"What should we do?" After thinking through the joints, Yang Yu also got his sense of mind. At this time, he looked at Pan Yue and Sun Chu's previous disdainful faces, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Pan Yue and Sun Chu "teached" Yang Yu a lesson, and he also took this person lightly. At this time, he said unconsciously: "No need to go to the Shangshu Desk first."
As the center of this country, the Shangshutai is still operating, but it has nothing to do with national affairs.
Because this country now has two teams. What really deals with the important matters of the country is the Shangshutai in the hands of Duke Jin, not the Shangshutai of Wei.
What Pan Yue, Yang Wei and Sun Chu are going to be the State's Shangshu Desk. After all, the State's Ku Mansion is decided by the decision here.
