Chapter 1,179 Pingzhang’s Military and State Affairs
Chapter 1187 Ping Zhang Military and State Affairs
It was Lao Taishan who had foresight and adopted strict treatment first and then lenient treatment.
If you ask for lenient treatment, you must first start with strict treatment.
Zhang Yue thought Wu Chong's words well, if you want someone to hate you, then you should be nice to him at first, and then treat him less favorably.
The same is true in the army. When a person violates military discipline for the first time, he should be taught a lesson. Don't wait until the other person commits a heinous crime before executing him. If you are soft-hearted to him at the beginning, you will harm him.
Tolerance is like water. Everyone feels close and cute at first, but countless people drown in the water.
Many political situations are left unresolved and leaders are forced to adopt one-size-fits-all solutions. This is all due to their initial tolerance.
Zhang Yue was covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, Wu Chong came back to the court and woke him up, otherwise he would have made a big mistake in the future.
Zhang Yue said: "But what did Deputy Lu say?"
Wu Chong said: "This is the biggest mistake you made. You were determined to cut down Dangxiang as a link to the world at first. However, you were shaken by a few words from Uncle Lu Hui."
"If you try to lift it again at this time, it will become a repetition."
"I know that you care about my Wu family and the marriage relationship between your Zhang family and Lu family, but because of this, Uncle Lu Hui must make it clear to him when he questions you. No matter what you say now, Uncle Lu Hui will blame you. Now
The only way is to send Uncle Lu Hui out of the capital."
Zhang Yue listened to Wu Chong's words and understood clearly what it means to give in at the beginning, and then only take drastic measures.
Wu Chong said: "Let me talk to Uncle Hui. I have been friends with him for many years, but no one knows how good I can be."
Zhang Yue said: "Everything depends on Lao Taishan."
Wu Chong said: "If you and I don't exchange polite words, there is nothing I can do for you now that I have become an official."
"All my sons are useless, but you are the only one who can inherit the mantle."
Zhang Yue lamented that his official career was supported by Wu Chong. When he sent troops to Hezhou to exterminate Guizhang, he fought in vain and almost brought the entire Shaanxi Road to financial ruin. It was Wu Chong who supported him despite all the opinions.
When he returned to the dynasty and took up the post of political advisor, it was Wu Chong who gave up his position as prime minister, which enabled him to take this important step.
Not to mention his political suggestions, Wu Chong had a very high political level and had far-reaching views.
Everything is like this, some people see one step, some see two steps, some see three steps, the person who sees farther will be able to stand in the end.
However, my father-in-law did not make any achievements in the history books. In fact, it is also like this. A person's success in this life is divided into 70% luck and 30% strength.
Sometimes it’s not a lack of strength, but a lack of luck.
Wu Chong said with a smile: "Sanlang's two sons, Brother Gen, are bright and far-sighted, and they will fly thousands of miles in the future. Although Brother Cheng is not as good as Brother Gen, it is also a blessing for us to be parents."
"You can't force yourself in this life. No matter what, there will be good and bad. My eldest brother is useless, I already know it."
"You can do whatever you want. In a hundred years, I will entrust the Wu family to your care."
After hearing Wu Chong's permission for him to handle Wu Anshi's matter, the matter that had been on Zhang Yue's mind finally came to fruition.
It is impossible for people not to eat all kinds of grains and grains. Wherever people go to do things, they are bound by the world's sophistication.
At this time there was a knock on the door.
The Seventeenth Mother came in and said to Zhang Yue: "Officer, Brother Du and his nephews would like to ask you for advice."
Wu Chong smiled when he heard this.
Seventeenth Mother also had a blush on her face, it was obvious that some of the Wu family's nephews wanted to meet Zhang Yue. She was wanted by her family, and it was hard to shirk it, and at the same time she felt extremely honored in her heart.
When an official in your family becomes a high-ranking official, and you are praised and worshiped by your brothers and sisters, no matter how noble you are, you will feel dizzy at this moment.
Zhang Yue glanced at Wu Chong. In the past, when Wu Chong returned home, the Wu family's sons and nephews would all come to see him, but now they came to see him.
Wu Chong was very relieved and said: "Sanlang, go ahead and don't forget what I said to you."
"Yes." Zhang Yue stood up and saluted, then followed Qi Niang out of the house.
The Seventeenth Mother whispered to Zhang Yue: "These nephews are either playboys or have mediocre talents. Only the Nineteenth Prince is worthy of being seen."
Hearing that Seventeenth Mother still had her own plans, Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "Except for this Nineteenth Prince, I can arrange for the rest of them to find jobs at the Exchange Office.
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty transfer envoys all have interchange stations, and Qinfeng Road transfer envoys even have three exchange stations in one go, namely Qingtang, Xizhou, and Qinzhou.
In recent years, in addition to salt banknotes, Jiaozi, tea imports and other businesses, the Exchange also operates quality warehouses and warehouse clearance businesses, which makes a lot of money.
In addition to annual dividends, the remaining employees hold dividends and their annual salaries are astonishingly high.
An ordinary employee of the Bianjing Exchange Institute can earn 300 guan per year, which is six times the annual salary of a member of the imperial army. As for the middle-level employees, it can reach 1,000 guan.
Therefore, how many people want to enter the Exchange Institute, and even top scholars are flocking to it.
In fact, the job at the Exchange is not very valuable. Even if you don’t know anything, they can arrange a job for you and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Cai Jing, who was born in the Exchange, often used it as a favor. As for Zhang Yue’s encounter with Xihe
In order to provide pensions for fallen soldiers, he often granted this position to their nephews and rarely used it to express favors to himself.
Zhang Yue also wanted to add some glory to his wife, and Seventeenth Mother smiled and said: "It's not necessary for an official, you are not easy to talk about."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I'll take a closer look at this 19th Lang."
The Seventeenth Mother nodded after hearing this, with a smile on her face, and gently held Zhang Yue's arm, her eyes filled with brilliance.
…
The next day Zhang Yue met the Holy Empress and stayed behind.
The officials heard Zhang Yue's words and thought deeply: "This is the fundamental way to govern."
"First be strict before you can seek lenient treatment. This is also what you often say, the opposite is the movement of Tao!"
Zhang Yue was speechless. Now it was the emperor's turn to educate him.
The official suddenly said: "Didn't Yue Wuqing tell you this?"
Zhang Yuexin said that the official family is very powerful.
Zhang Yue thought for a while, but did not admit it directly but said: "I often have long talks with my family, and they often discuss state affairs, but they are never selfish."
The official smiled and said, in fact, there is nothing to discuss. If he didn't believe Feng Jing, he didn't discuss it with Fu Bi.
The official said to Zhang Yue: "Wu Qing has a serious temper, is good at cultivating orders, and is quiet when serving as prime minister. It's a pity that he has a good heart but lacks strength."
Zhang Yue heard what he said in his heart, the emperor is a sensible person and knows everything in his heart, but if you know what you know, I just won't reuse you.
The official said: "At first, the Empress Dowager (Empress Dowager Cao) told me that I had the words of Xiang Anjie, the Prime Minister of Taiping. Later, Wu Qing had a tumor on his neck one day, and the Empress Dowager told me that this was the Prime Minister of Taiping."
"I think of the words of the Empress Dowager and I feel very regretful today. Now that the imperial court has a system, we cannot have a son-in-law and a son-in-law."
"I want Wu Qing and Wang Anshi to be responsible for Pingzhang's military affairs. What do you think?"
