Chapter 1145 The official position since ancient times
Early the next morning, Yi Ji and Liang Xi, as Chen Xi's newly appointed officials by Liu Bei, came to visit Chen Xi two years ago, so they became familiar with each other.
Needless to say, Yiji envied Liu Bei and wanted to change jobs a long time ago. However, Liu Biao treated him well, so he always held the idea of loyalty to the emperor. When Liu Biao was defeated, Yiji would just send Buddha to the west.
After the flood, we settled down for a while before heading to Mount Tai.
As for Liang Xi, he was originally a military attache recommended by Zhou Yu, but Fazheng deceived a group of people in Xuzhou and captured Liang Xi alive, and has been in custody ever since.
By the time Liang Xi was released, the world had changed. To put it simply, if Liu Bei was the overlord before, now Liu Bei has aspired to be the hegemon.
What Liang Xi likes is surrendering to the strong. He was imprisoned for so long first. When Liu Bei subdued Li Tong, Liang Xi followed suit as soon as his domineering spirit was released. After a brief investigation, Liu Bei found that Liang Xi was still very capable.
, so he sent it to Chen Xi as a subordinate official.
After all, Chen Xi is now the chief minister of agriculture, one of the Nine Qings. He is in charge of salt and iron, taxation, and money. His main job is to manage the country's financial revenue and expenditure. Although Chen Xi is not in the central government, there is still no problem in managing Liu Bei's rule.
.
Chen Xi didn't think much when he saw these two people. He had already met many capable people. At most, it was a pity that it was inappropriate for Liang Xi to be his subordinate officer. This guy was suitable to be the governor and governor of a border county.
In short, Liang Xi looks like a harmless person now. When he was the governor of the border county, he killed many people. Of course, this guy was also very good at educating the people. He was one of the six major governors in the late Han Dynasty and managed the border county well.
of.
However, Chen Xi did not directly say that Liang Xi was not suitable to be an official here. He was not that stupid. No matter what he did, Liang Xi could still be considered a minor celebrity.
So Chen Xi thought for a while and asked Liang Xi to manage the cattle, horse, wool, jewelry and jade transactions with foreigners. As for the Yi nationality, Chen Xi decisively asked him to be the Taicang order. Although the official position was not high, Chen Xi liked to make strategic reserves.
Yi Ji is obviously satisfied with this arrangement, but Liang Xi is a little depressed. He wants to fight. Although he was punished last time, he still wants to fight. And now he has Liu Bei's back and his treasury is full. Liang Xi feels that he cannot always lose.
!
Chen Xi can also see Liang Xi's depression, but he has no intention of changing his position. If you can't even get the money, do you still want to exploit him when the time comes?
Chen Xi chatted with Yi Ji and Liang Xi for a few words, and then sent the two of them away. They came to the same fight and naturally returned to the same fight.
"Zi Yu is dissatisfied?" Yi Ji is also an official who is good at observing words and emotions. How can he not see through Liang Xi, who is still a little immature.
"That's not true." Liang Xi was slightly startled. He adjusted his mentality and looked much more normal. Yi Ji couldn't help but smile. Liang Xi was indeed a talent.
"Ziyu doesn't need to hide it. I understand what you are thinking. But if we can't even raise the money and food now, how can we sit here in the future?" Yi Ji said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Liang Xi was silent. Although it was difficult to say anything, every time he saw those young and inhuman senior officials under Liu Bei, Liang Xi felt a little aggrieved. Why didn't he have such an opportunity to follow the dragon back then?
"My lord was born in a young age, and when he invited talents from aristocratic families with welcome gifts, he was rejected. At that time, who knew that today, do everything in front of you before talking about anything else." Yi Ji's mentality is very good, and he expresses his loyalty very well.
Morning, it's just that no one came.
Liang Xi didn't say much. He just had some resentment. The senior officials of Chen Zichuan's generation are too young, young enough to rule for forty years. Those who have not entered that ranks in this era are destined to become foils.
Yi Ji didn't say anything else after that. He had to think clearly about these things himself, and Liang Xi was not a fool in Yi Ji's opinion and should know what was important and what was important.
After Chen Xi sent Yi Ji and Liang Xi away, he no longer cared about them. He originally planned to write a couplet for decoration, but found that his handwriting was not up to par. It would be boring to hire someone to write it for him.
So just hang a peach charm and it will be done.
Lying hazily on the rocking chair, Chen Yun came over and woke Chen Xi softly, "Master, there is a young foreigner visiting."
Chen Xi was extremely surprised. His family, the Chen family, would rarely be harassed by outsiders, so he also developed some curiosity, "Young foreigner, do you know who the visitor is?"
"The name card says the Bingzhou Wen family." Chen Yun replied gently.
Chen Xi frowned. He really had never had any communication with the Bingzhou Wen family. Then he couldn't help but show his face. No matter if he had seen him or not, he would know after he was recruited and asked. Maybe he was a living friend of his father.
He lives poor in a busy city and has no one to care about him. He is rich and has distant relatives in the mountains. They might actually be his father's friends. He must have some confidence to dare to come.
"Invite him in." Chen Xi said to Chen Yun with a smile.
"Inner courtyard?" Chen Yun frowned and said.
Chen Yun has stayed in the inner courtyard for so many years, and even Liu Bei has rarely come in. The most lethal person who lived here was Zhuge Liang, but he was teased by them for a while and ran away.
As for Lu Xun, he was too young and had enough thinking. He had not yet grown up. In addition, he was Chen Xi's disciple, so the maid did not dare to act too recklessly.
"The main hall of the front yard." Chen Xi replied, and then stood up to change clothes. When Chen Xi arrived at the main hall of the front yard, Wen Hui was already sitting there and starting to drink tea.
When Chen Xi entered from the side hall, he glanced at the other person and saw that the other person was wearing a velvet coat. The clothing was not luxurious, but it fit the other person's appearance very well. It was neither loose nor tight, giving off the image of a noble man. Chen Xi couldn't help but nodded slightly.
.
"Wen Hui and Wen Manji of the Wen family in Bingzhou have met Chen Hou." Wen Hui immediately stood up and saluted Chen Xi after seeing him.
"Oh, no need to be restrained." Chen Xi smiled and said, "I don't know..."
When it comes to Bingzhou, Chen Xi is basically sure that the Wen family must have had exchanges with his father's generation. After all, the Chen family's main business was in Bingzhou, and even the Wang family in Bingzhou did business. From this point of view, Chen Xi in Yingchuan
The tiger skin at home is pretty good.
Wen Hui hardly spoke to him, but respectfully recounted yesterday's events, and then gave the thing to Chen Xi. The bright "Xi" in the bracelet made Chen Xi read the power of the idea of officialdom from ancient times to the present.
"Wen Manji?" Chen Xi looked at Wen Hui's leaving figure and thought for a moment, "Uncle Chen, have someone pull out Wen Manji's files. If Xiaolian is cited, give him a separate scientific examination.
Make him a salt official."
Chen Xi has already remembered who this guy is at this time, but compared to Liang Xi's temperament, Wen Hui is just like his last name. This kind of capable, good-natured person who wants to make progress is really useful.
