Chapter 2696: There is something to do but nothing to do.
People who take exams take exams, and people who live live their lives.
As long as it is not a war, or between wars, people always want to live and live better.
For some people, fighting for hegemony, killing people, and realizing their ambitions are everything, but for most people, life is all they have.
At present, the Han Dynasty, Shandong and Guanzhong are confronting each other, and Jiangdong is hiding in a corner with evil intentions. However, to ordinary people, these things seem relatively far away, and more of them are in the life in front of them.
better life.
The smiles of the whole family, the food on the table, and having nothing to worry about when lying down at night are the greatest satisfaction.
Cai Yu went out and prepared to go to Youwen Division.
In Cai Yu's view, Chang'an and Shandong, at least when it comes to banquets, are really very different.
If we are in Shandong, although summer is gradually getting further and further away, it is still a bit hot. Generally speaking, the children of the gentry will go to Zhuangzi from the city to escape the summer heat while holding various banquets and various servants.
The servants will dig out the ice cubes stored in the manor for the children of the nobles to cool down, and the ice fish for the banquet must be carved in the ice cellar with great care. If the event held by the manor owner is delayed,
banquet, then each of these servants will be severely punished.
In Guanzhong, Cai Yu has been here for some time, but he has not heard of any nobles holding any summer banquet somewhere! Cai Yu doesn't know whether it is held in private, but in the market, Cai Yu not only
I didn't hear any news about this, but I saw the people in Guanzhong, wearing ge clothes, carrying cattail fans and their own dolls, sitting under the tree and drinking a bowl of sour soup or drinking some wild tea.
Some parents are short-lived and enjoy themselves.
Whether the banquet in Shandong Manor was more enjoyable or the sour soup in Guanzhong Shifang was more refreshing, Cai Yu felt mixed.
Moreover, the streets of Chang'an are obviously cleaner.
The most important thing is that there is no smell of feces or urine.
Dedicated personnel are responsible for cleaning up the debris and garbage on the streets twice in the morning and evening. The inspection soldiers who come and go are also neatly cleaned up, and they line up in a line, so that those behind can step on the feet of those in front.
, if you see someone littering, or a big animal defecating in the street, you will be punished immediately...
In Shandong, even Xu County cannot do this.
Cai Yu knew this. Cao Cao seemed to have implemented it for a while back then, but then most of the people who passed by on horseback on the road were the children of the gentry, the generals and high-ranking officials of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Their war horses pooped in the street, and ordinary people and soldiers dared to
A fart? So it was settled later.
Every time summer comes, if the feces and urine are not cleaned up in time and then trampled by passers-by, it means...
Anyway, it tastes great.
Of course, in Shandong, there is also a saying that the Hussars General is a urinating general. Because Fei Qian has been focusing on the hygiene issues in the barracks from the beginning, and has detailed regulations on the sanitation of soldiers' excrement and urine, and then these
The people from Shandong just laughed, thinking that Fei Qian, with such a big official position, would care about the soldiers' shit? How free is this!
As Cai Yu walked, looking at the clean streets and tidy markets, he suddenly had another idea.
If you can't even control your feces and urine, what else can you control?
After turning the street, there is the market in front of you.
At this time, the flow of people gradually increased. The shops on both sides of the street not only removed their door panels early and put up fronts, but also had full-time female waitresses standing in front of the shops to solicit customers.
Each of these female recruits was cheerful and energetic, and when they saw Cai Yu's appraising look, they greeted them without any hesitation. On the contrary, Cai Yu, a veteran, could not help but shy away subconsciously.
The female solicitors introduced the products with clear and bright voices that rose and fell like singing. Of course, these female solicitors would sometimes get into trouble with their counterparts in the surrounding shops. They would sarcastically mock each other with their words.
, but what’s very interesting is that everyone was laughing at this time and didn’t take what the female recruiter said seriously. They still bought what they should buy...
"Newly arrived spices from the West..."
"Excellent rose peach wine..."
"Sichuan and Sichuan asparagus bamboo fan..."
Cai Yu couldn't help but touch his shriveled purse and sighed.
Some time ago, Cai Yu saw that everything was fine, but he couldn't control his claws...
Alas, now I can only take a look.
People who have no money have only one problem, that is, no money. It's that simple.
After walking for a while, Cai Yu saw the door of the Youwen Division office.
After a period of development, Youwen Division no longer only has three or two big cats and kittens, except for hiding in the side of Wufang Dojo for quietness, or hiding away from the headquarters in the city.
, and signs were also hung in the mausoleum area, and the office was operated in a light and dark mode.
Youwen Division is constantly expanding with the reform process of official administration.
The demand for personnel is also expanding.
However, the Youwen Division is very low-key when recruiting. After all, open recruitment, or forcibly coercing others to join the Youwen Division, will cause some problems. As long as someone is forced to serve the Youwen Division, no matter whether it is forcibly
No matter what kind of black material, it is easy to betray in the end, and only those who truly and sincerely want to do something can ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the intelligence.
To put it simply, it is "loyalty".
This "loyalty" is definitely not the kind that is shouted verbally...
You don't have to be loyal to Fei Qian, but you must be "loyal" to this job in Youwen Division.
Many similar institutions in history, such as Jinyiwei and others, mostly fell into this.
In the feudal dynasty, there was no network transmission model for the explosion of information. The acquisition and transmission of intelligence in a place often relied on the subjective initiative of intelligence personnel, and many times these intelligence personnel not only had to complete the surface cover work
, you also need to find time and energy to complete the intelligence collection matters. It doesn’t matter if the time is short, but problems will easily arise as time goes by.
If you do this job just to exchange for money or authority, then in the end it will easily become that you just do it for money or authority...
It’s not that Youwensi doesn’t give money or power, but it means that it can’t be just for money and power.
If you secretly detect intelligence in a certain place, it is very likely that no effective information will be obtained for a period of time, and naturally there will be no extra money or merit. If the purpose is just for money and power, then no effective information will be obtained for a long time.
If you don't know it, you may deliberately fabricate something later in exchange for money and power.
You must know that as long as you are contaminated by this kind of thing once, it will be impossible to continue to do practical things honestly.
When Kan Ze took over part of the work of Youwen Division, Youwen Division was generally only spread in the Sanfu area of Guanzhong, so a large part of Kan Ze's work at that time was to establish the structure of Youwen Division in more places.
There are information bureaus stationed in such places, and most of them are not official. Of course, there are also ordinary officials who are directly stationed in the yamen and make the same records and reports as Zhiyin Supervisor, but the vast majority of intelligence searches
, the collection of events took place outside the government offices.
Initially, Kan Ze's idea was to train some orphans. This is natural and is also the choice of most intelligence personnel.
After all, the previous war left behind many orphans who lost their parents, and there is also a Salesian Bureau in Chang'an that collects orphans.
But Kan Ze's proposal was rejected by Fei Qian.
Fei Qian said that if there are orphans willing to join on their own, there will be no problem. However, if the orphans are trained in a targeted manner, you may not see any problems in the short term, but there will definitely be problems in the long term.
On the one hand, if orphans are used as the main source of intelligence for the Youwen Division, a large number of homogeneous personnel will inevitably appear. This is actually the same nature as disciples or cronies. Orphans will also form cliques and exclude those who are not orphans.
Personnel born.
On the other hand, orphans are relatively lacking in all kinds of emotions and are more likely to go to extremes. This is not harmful to ordinary work, but if one day these people are needed to take charge of the overall situation, then deviations will inevitably occur.
.
Just as there is no reasonless hatred, no reasonless love, and no reasonless loyalty in this world.
If you want to make your subordinates loyal, you must give them enough benefits, and you must win over them psychologically. It is best to have a banner of family and country righteousness erect. With a three-pronged approach, most people can do it. The so-called "bold loyalty" may not necessarily be wrong.
This can only be achieved by cultivating children.
Judging from the current situation of Wensi, the welfare benefits are not bad, and there are no problems with psychological care. At least there is no situation where the superiors dominate the subordinates and take over the subordinates, so a relatively good atmosphere has been formed.
The only thing missing is that Fei Qian feels that Youwensi has not yet formed a belief similar to their own.
In fact, this "belief" has a more common term among later generations of companies, called "corporate culture."
"You have the faith of Mr. Wenji..."
Kan Ze had a headache.
Some conceptual things, Fei Qian thinks are very common items, but for Kan Ze, he has never been exposed to these, so it is difficult for him to understand. Just like some people in later generations sneered when the word patriotism was mentioned.
, not that these people are bad, but a large part of these people are because they have never come into contact with patriots in real life...
Even though there are patriotic propaganda in books, movies, TV, and various media, what proportion is it?
If you think about it in reverse, why this result is achieved, there may be another chilling answer.
So far, Youwensi has not put forward a clear positioning, future ideal, or lofty goals. Using the outer shell of a big man, or using the name of a hussar general, is certainly convenient, but it can also be offset.
Many relevant people are concerned about "rebellion and betrayal", but from a certain perspective, they have also lost a higher source of motivation and cannot give more hope to some ambitious people.
In any feudal dynasty, there will inevitably be a large number of people who are dissatisfied with the actual order. These people are full of dissatisfaction with the feudal dynasty and are eager to make changes, whether it is changing their own class or changing the shortcomings of the feudal dynasty.
, but they know very well that their own abilities are not only insufficient to rise to the top, but they may even find it difficult to become a rich man drifting with the crowd.
If someone can give these people such an opportunity, these people will also explode with great strength to fight for what they could not get under the old class and the old order.
In addition, Fei Qian also told Kan Ze that the peripheral personnel of Youwen Division must be a mixture of dragons and snakes. How to deal with the contradictory relationship between this chaotic peripheral and core order is Kan Ze's focus in the next stage of Youwen Division.
research direction.
Fei Qian still thinks highly of Kan Ze. Although the Youwen Division does not have the authority to directly participate in political affairs, it has channels to directly send information to Fei Qian's desk. It is somewhat similar to the original censorship structure of the Han Dynasty, but it is completely
It’s different. In the past, a small part of the time and energy of the imperial censors of the Han Dynasty was used to deal with local affairs at the lower level, but most of the time and energy was focused on party struggles at the upper level...
Kan Ze was born into a poor family, and his character was tenacious. He had high attainments in scriptures and arithmetic, and was also very familiar with the common people. He was an excellent candidate for the Youwen Division.
But after all, there are not many people like Kan Ze...
More of them are people like Cai Yu.
Regarding Cai Yu, Kan Ze also had a headache and didn't know how to arrange it.
If Cai Yu is talking about "qualifications", he is also a "veteran" of the Youwen Division. Before the Youwen Division was formally established, Cai Yu went to Shandong as one of the first batch of intelligence officers. As an intelligence officer,
Of course, people can't talk about benzene, and Cai Yu did provide some information to Fei Qian, whether it was about Yuan Shao in the early stage or Cao Cao in the later stage.
But this person's characteristics are really too...
In addition, Cai Yu's identity is slightly different. According to Han law, he is still a serious official and minister in the court. Although it was given by Cao Cao, it is stamped with the emperor's seal.
The minister is indeed not a high-ranking official. In the heyday of the Han Dynasty, there were even hundreds and nearly a thousand ministers. However, after arriving in Guanzhong, it was somewhat embarrassing.
In particular, Cai Yu's original role was to get paid to do things. Although getting paid to do things was not a problem, there was naturally some distance between him and the people who originally knew Wen Si. Cai Yu came here once or twice, and people who knew Wen Si also
I didn't like him very much, so I naturally stopped coming and stayed in the post house.
And Song Hang.
Song Hang decided to break away from his identity as Youwensi and change his name to become a real agricultural scholar. I'm afraid this is partly the reason why.
The key point is that this is not just three or five people. In the future, there will inevitably be more placement problems for people like Song Hang and Cai Yu. If they cannot be solved, it means that the future work of the Youwen Division will not be possible.
Easy to develop.
Therefore, this bowl of water, held by Kan Ze, is not only to satisfy the people within the Youwen Division, but also to make people like Song Hang and Cai Yu feel that they have not been abandoned, and also to make people who have not yet joined the Youwen Division feel that they have not been abandoned.
I feel that the Youwen Department is not that kind of department with no future, but like other departments and agencies, it is an important part of the new management framework of Qiusi Qi.
While Kan Ze was thinking, someone came to report that Cai Yu was here and asked to see Kan Ze.
"Please." Kan Ze raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said while sorting out some documents on the table that were not convenient for others to see directly. After putting them away, he walked out of the back hall and walked out.
When you get to the front hall, ask the guard to bring some drinks up.
Although Cai Yu is a minister and Kan Ze is not even a minister, there is a Wen Department here now and Kan Ze is Cai Yu's boss, so this situation is somewhat subtle.
Kan Ze stood in front of the hall, greeted Cai Yu, and then invited him to sit down in the front hall.
After chatting for a while, Cai Yu smiled and said slightly slowly: "Director Kan, this place in Shandong is very different from Guanzhong. There are a lot of gossips in the market... I just don't know whether to talk about it...
』
Kan Ze nodded, not paying attention at first, but then he saw Cai Yu's eyes, reacted somewhat, and said tentatively: "This gossip...but there is something special about it?"
Cai Yu took a breath, nodded slightly, and then looked around.
"In that case, please come with me." Kan Ze stood up and left the hall.
Cai Yu was a little dazed, but quickly stood up and followed behind Kan Ze.
Kan Ze led Cai Yu, turned a corner towards the corridor, and arrived at a corner door guarded by guards.
After opening the corner door, there is a small courtyard surrounded by high walls.
In the courtyard, there is only one house and one hall. The halls and houses are very small.
There was also an old man with gray beard and hair, who was sorting something on the table in the hall. When he saw Kan Ze, he just nodded and did not stand up to greet him.
"This is Mr. Wang." Kan Ze walked into the small hall, introduced Cai Yu, and then said to the old man, "Would you please make a record of Mr. Wang."
"Wei." Mr. Wang quickly took a blank filing paper and wrote the date, place and person on his head.
Cai Yu followed Kan Ze, his eyes widening in disbelief.
He did have some relatively secret things that he wanted to tell Kan Ze to see if he could get some extra points in exchange for some benefits or something, but he didn't expect that Kan Ze didn't have the common pattern in Shandong to send his attendants to him.
The guards all drove away and brought him here...
"Please tell me, Mr. Wang is the only one here. This is the filing office. According to the rules of the Youwen Department, any secret matter must be filed. The documents where filed will be sent directly to the Lord by a dedicated person." Kan Ze said a little.
He explained, and then said, "Seunghee can speak frankly."
"..." Cai Yu was surprised by the strict regulations of the Youwen Division, but looking at the pen held by Mr. Wang, he nodded and said, "I'm not very sure about this... When I was in Jizhou, I heard that
I learned something about... well, it's about... Your Majesty..."
Cai Yu's voice became quieter as it went to the back. When it came to the word "Your Majesty", he almost always spoke in a lowered voice...
"About Your Majesty?" Kan Ze frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, if we need to verify it, we will do it, you just need to say it."
Cai Yu watched the old man Wang writing records on the filing paper without even lifting his pen. He couldn't help but take a breath and continued, "It's about His Majesty's heirs..."
"Who? You said it was... Your Majesty?" Kan Ze raised his eyebrows, even his calm expression was broken, and he looked a little surprised.
