Chapter 25 Advise Tao Yuanming not to be so negative!
Qin Wei walked slowly out of the imperial city, but he didn't expect that Fu Chengyi was still waiting for him.
"Sorry for keeping Mr. Jijiu waiting for so long." Qin Wei cupped his hands and said.
Fu Chengyi chuckled and said, "I know a good teahouse. Your Majesty the Prince would like to try it!"
"Sir, please!" Qin Wei naturally would not refuse.
Then the two of them got into their respective carriages and arrived at a teahouse named Mingxin.
As soon as Fu Chengyi got off the carriage, the waiter in the teahouse introduced him into a private room in a familiar manner. It was obvious that he was a frequent visitor here.
The private room is not big, but it is exquisite and fresh. Outside the window, there are green trees, weeping willows flying, and the chirping of birds.
The two sat down and the waiter brought a pot of tea.
"This is Maofeng from Yunshan in Shuzhou. Your Highness, try it to see if it suits your taste." Fu Chengyi poured a cup of tea for Qin Wei.
Qin Wei picked up the tea and took a sip.
"The taste is sweet, the tea is rich in aroma, good tea, good tea!" he praised.
Fu Chengyi rolled up his sleeves and poured himself a glass. His movements were full of elegance, and every move he made was comfortable, free and easy, elegant and casual.
"Yunshan Maofeng is a famous tea in Shuzhou, and countless tea drinkers flock to it. Unfortunately, the output of this tea is very low. Only the Mingxin Tea House in the entire Kyoto city has this tea."
"I grew up under Yunshan Mountain when I was young. My father was a tea farmer, so I love this pot of Yunshan Maofeng."
Fu Chengyi smiled gently.
"Mr. Fu should be no ordinary tea farmer!" Qin Wei said.
"Hahaha, he is indeed not an ordinary tea farmer, but he is a tea farmer in Yunshan." Fu Chengyi said with a smile.
Although Qin Wei didn't know who Fu Chengyi's father was, he was sure that Fu Chengyi's father was a Confucian scholar.
Confucianism cultivation must be cultivated from an early age. The requirements are higher than those of martial artists, and their progress is slower than that of martial artists. If Fu Chengyi had not had a qualified guide when he was young, he would never have achieved such success today.
"The house is in a human environment, without the noise of carriages and horses. How can I ask you? My mind is far away. I am picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and I can see the Nanshan Mountain leisurely. The mountain air is getting better day and night, and the birds are flying back and forth. There is a true meaning in this,
I have forgotten what I wanted to say." Qin Wei muttered softly.
Fu Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "This is a poem written by His Highness!"
Qin Wei shook his head, "I don't have such poetic talent. This poem was written by Mr. Tao Yuanming. I just think that this poem should be in line with Mr. Fu's mood."
"Mr. Tao Yuanming!" Fu Chengyi was a little confused, because this name did not exist in his memory.
"I wonder where this Mr. Tao Yuanming is? Can I pay him a visit?"
Qin Wei smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Jijiu. Mr. Tao Yuanming has passed away many years ago, and I just accidentally discovered his legacy."
"It's a pity, it's such a pity. The language of this poem is plain and simple, without any false ornamentation, but it is rich in meaning and full of rationality and interest."
"There is emotion in the scenery, reason in the emotion, tranquility and indifference, which is really unforgettable."
"This Mr. Tao Yuanming must be a rare hermit!"
Fu Chengyi said with regret.
Qin Wei secretly laughed in his heart. Chatting with scholars requires a lot of strategy. With his half-hearted level of Confucianism, it was naturally impossible for him to chat with Fu Chengyi, so on the way here, he prepared a few poems as conversation topics.
.
We don’t do any copywriting, we just find a topic.
Just as Qin Wei expected, Fu Chengyi's interest in chatting was aroused as soon as he read this poem.
Qin Wei didn't know how to compose poetry, but he knew Tao Yuanming!
Tao Yuanming was one of his favorite poets in his previous life.
"Mr. Jijiu is right, Mr. Tao Yuanming is indeed a rare hermit."
"Mr. Tao Yuanming once worked as a minor official for several years. Because the officialdom was dangerous, he gave up his official position and returned to his fields. He stayed away from the world and became obsessed with the countryside."
Qin Wei smiled.
Fu Chengyi nodded slightly and said: "It can be seen from his poem, but this poem is a bit too negative. If I can meet him, I must persuade him well. What a pity!"
When Qin Wei heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Please advise Tao Yuanming not to be so negative!
He didn't know how to answer these words.
It is not an accident that Fu Chengyi has this idea. After all, he and Tao Yuanming are in different positions and environments, so it is normal to have some differences in concepts.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty where Tao Yuanming lived had a strict family system, and it was impossible for people from common people and poor families to break through the monopoly of high-ranking officials by the noble families.
Throughout Tao Yuanming's life, he only served as an official in the army and as a small official like a county magistrate. Not only was he unable to fulfill his great ambition to help the world, but he also had to compromise his ambitions and humiliate himself to deal with some official figures in the process of seeking appearance.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Tao Yuanming's ideals to become reality.
Therefore, he dislikes the secular world and is dissatisfied with reality. He also has negative emotions in his heart to avoid conflicts, live in isolation, and live alone.
As for Fu Chengyi, who became famous at a young age but only took the official position of offering wine in the Imperial College when he was in his forties, he naturally could not understand Tao Yuanming's helplessness.
Qin Wei couldn't explain this and could only let Fu Chengyi figure it out on his own.
"Mr. Jijiu is not just looking for me to drink tea, right?" Qin Wei couldn't answer the question and could only change the subject.
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about the business." Fu Chengyi slapped his forehead and then remembered the purpose of his date with Qin Wei.
"The Zhenwu Division has just been established, so it should be very short of manpower. I have a few students with both political integrity and talent, and I would like to recommend them to His Highness the County Prince."
He is the sacrificial wine of the Imperial College, and all the tens of thousands of Imperial College students can be said to be his students.
Supervisors can enter the official career through the Tribute Examination, which is not the way to be elected. However, because there are far more people competing for official positions than available positions, many supervisors of the Imperial College are unable to enter the official career.
When the Zhenwu Department was first established, it was the time to hire people. Not to mention other things, there were more than a dozen vacant positions for the heads of various departments.
The head of the Zhenwu Division is an official of the sixth rank, and there are hundreds of other inferior positions.
If he wanted to fill up the manpower of the Zhenwu Division, Qin Wei estimated that he would need at least more than 500 civil servants. This was assuming that the affairs of the Zhenwu Division did not involve the Thirteen Prefectures. If the Thirteen Prefectures were involved, the number of civil servants needed would be
Officials estimate that there will be thousands of people.
Although the Zhenwu Division is a violent organization, many things within the Zhenwu Division require clerical personnel, such as the collection, analysis and summary of intelligence from civil forces, the compilation and storage of files, etc., which all require a large number of clerical personnel.
For the supervisors of the Imperial College, although the situation in the Zhenwu Division was very poor, it was still a good way to become an official.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as they have an official status, they can seek other official positions in the future.
Of course, the person recommended by Fu Chengyi is definitely not an ordinary supervisor. He must be here for the positions of those in charge.
However, this was exactly what Qin Wei wanted. Yesterday, he ordered Luo Jin to go to the Imperial Academy and the Yanwu Pavilion to recruit people. Today, Fu Chengyi came to visit him. Naturally, he would not refuse such a good thing.
What's more, this is an opportunity to sell favors.
Fu Chengyi’s favor, Confucianism cultivator’s favor!
This is the most rare thing.
"Mr. Jijiu may not know that yesterday I ordered Master Luo Jin to go to the Imperial College to seek help. If there are no accidents, Master Luo Jin should be in the Imperial College at this time!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Really!" Fu Chengyi was a little surprised.
"Of course, maybe if you go back now, you will meet Lord Luo Jin," Qin Wei said.
"Hahaha~~" Fu Chengyi laughed.
"I am thirsty for talents, and the Zhenwu Department is in the midst of recruiting people. I would like to ask Mr. Jijiu not to be reluctant to part with you. If you have any outstanding talents, please do not hide them." Qin Wei said again.
Fu Chengyi smiled happily. He looked at Qin Wei with some admiration in his eyes.
"How about letting Fu Yuan join the Zhenwu Division?"
Qin Wei's eyes lit up, "I can't get it."
Fu Yuan was not a supervisor of the Imperial College, but he was a student of Fu Chengyi. It is said that this man was as talented as a king, and more importantly, he was a representative of the younger generation of Confucianism cultivators.
If Fu Yuan joins the Zhenwu Division, the relationship between the Zhenwu Division and the Confucianism Cultivators will be completely exposed.
Qin Wei was naturally willing to do this.
"But this boy has an arrogant temperament and is arrogant. Your Highness the County Prince will have to suppress him," Fu Chengyi said.
Qin Wei smiled.
"Forget it, let Fu Yuan practice with His Highness the County Prince."
"I will send him to the Zhenwu Division tomorrow."
"Then I must treat Brother Fu Yuan well!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
