Chapter 183 The opening of the government and the establishment of the department
Xiao Tang was a little surprised by Wen Huanzhang's flat refusal. He thought carefully about Wen Huanzhang's words just now and roughly figured out the reason.
This Wen Huanzhang is not willing to be just an aide.
The staff recruited from various powerful houses are, at best, a mastermind and think tank, but at worst, he is just a hanger-up raised by the mansion. Even compared to the white paper fans in the Green Forest Village, he has no fame or fame.
common people.
Wen Huanzhang was an old acquaintance with many ministers in the court, and I am afraid that many of them had wanted to recruit him to serve in their own government. However, privately wanting to use Wen Huanzhang's talents was one thing.
It is one thing to promote Wen Huanzhang and recommend Wen Huanzhang to the court on a meritorious basis.
This Wen Huanzhang must be a man of great integrity. He had a close relationship with imperial officials such as Taiwei Su Yuanjing and Jiedushi Xu Jing, but he did not beg them to find an official path for him, nor did he choose to succumb to the
Among their subordinates, Xiao Tang only relied on a few words of his own to think that this famous scholar with outstanding talent and character would defect to him. He was indeed oversimplifying the matter.
There are all living beings in this world, and everyone has their own principles, demands, and considerations. Xu Guanzhong tried his best to assist Xiao Tang because of his relationship and kindness with Xiao Tang. Back then, his Xu family received the favor of Xiao Tang and this
After several years of getting along with each other, Xiao Jiasui decided to stay with Xiao Tang because of his ambition and temperament. At the same time, he was also curious about whether Xiao Tang's plan was really suitable for fighting the injustices in various parts of the Song Dynasty. Wen Huanzhang was nothing
In the rivers and lakes, there is a lot of congenial heroes. Although they are both teachers in the village, Yiwen Huanzhang's temperament is not like that of Wu Yong, a wise man who is still living in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Jeju, on Jingdong Road. He plans to cooperate with Green Forest and Cao Mang in his conspiracy.
Huge profits. I obviously want the benefits of a state-owned enterprise with prospects for promotion, even if I start as a local clerk, but if I want to have the opportunity to be promoted to the provincial administrative level, you just want me to work in a private company under your name for the rest of my life.
Is there any need to talk about this matter?
But this Wen Huanzhang, after all, has extraordinary talents and can be put to great use. Even though it is unlikely that he will join Xiao Tang's "thief ship" now, but only from the perspective of government cooperation, Xiao Tang also needs help like Wen Huanzhang.
, now the only option is to throw out another scented bait to see if he will take the bait.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang said to Wen Huanzhang: "Sir, you have great talent, how can you be willing to be inferior to others? And I am in charge of the official affairs of the Jingnan Road Appeasement Department, in charge of military education, supervising thieves, and appeasing the people along the way.
We are responsible for the people's livelihood, but the talented people under the Ministry of Finance are very limited, so I came here to ask you to help the country, but I am definitely not asking you to condescend to be my staff in the Xiaotang Mansion."
After hearing this, Wen Huanzhang's expression changed and he said: "The villagers in the mountains are so ignorant that they don't know that Xiao Renxia has been favored by the Holy Spirit and has been comforting the envoys all the way. It's disrespectful and disrespectful. It's just... South Jingnan Road
Compared with the border military states bordering Xixia such as Yanyan Road, Qinfeng Road, and Jingyuan Road, Xiao
How can Ren Xia be in charge of military affairs?"
"The imperial court has not sent any dispatch yet, but it will be soon..." Xiao Tang chuckled, and then said seriously: "Sir, I am a wise man, and I, Xiao Tang, am not lying. Now, I, the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty,
The soldiers in the state capital were not trained, the soldiers were not afraid of the generals, the generals did not know how to fight, and even some officials were bribed. They did not care about cowardice, wasting military supplies, and depriving the army of food. It was because the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked, and good soldiers were killed in the army.
They often pretended to be meritorious, sent troops to plunder, harassed the place, and forced innocent people to become thieves.
Although there is no serious trouble along the way to the west of Beijing, it is still a place where gangsters and copycat strongmen are wreaking havoc. If there are people like Zhang Dina in Mingzhou who incite strongmen from all walks of life, it will be a disaster for one party after the incident. The general will be cowardly and the sergeant will be weak.
I'm afraid the police will be frightened when they hear about the thieves. If I can persuade the officials to open a government office on Jingnan Road, and peace will come to Jingfang, sir, will you be willing to come out and help me?"
Xiao Tang's words are by no means alarmist. According to the original trajectory, Wang Qing will occupy Fangzhou on South Jingxi Road as his nest, and gradually break through the neighboring counties and counties, causing the green forest strongmen on Jingxi Road and Jinghu Road to join in and occupy
The eight military states established themselves as the King of Chu. Hearing that Huanzhang listened carefully, he only felt that Xiao Tang's words seemed to be deeply indignant towards the military and political affairs of the Song Dynasty. This new official who was appointed as the pacifier of South Jingxi Road was just to suppress one side of the Qing Dynasty.
A strong man?
However, if the imperial court can really send Xiao Tang to set up a department in the west of the capital, although Wen Huanzhang will still act under Xiao Tang, his identity will be known by the appeasement envoy, and he will be an official in the mansion with the status of a court official, just like the appeasement where Lu Da is now.
In the Jinglue Mansion, the pacification and economic emissary office has positions such as tongzhi, deputy envoy, controller, governor, magistrate, and governor. During the period when the government was established, the political performance and merit can be assessed and become the experience for transitioning into the official career. This is not only
It was in line with Wen Huanzhang's original intention and also gave him the opportunity to put his talents to use.
After thinking about it for a while, Wen Huanzhang smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Ke is a village man in the mountains, and Xiao Renxia values ​​​​him. He is so kind and helpful to me. Although Xiao Ke has little talent and little knowledge, he is also determined to serve the country. Xiao Renxia
If we don't give up on each other, we can do the work of dogs and horses."
After saying goodbye to Wen Huanzhang, on the way back to Bianliang, Tokyo, Xu Guanzhong suddenly said to Xiao Tang: "Brother Xiao, this Mr. Wen... is extremely intelligent, but he also seems to be incompetent.
The person who conspired with my eldest brother to do that big thing."
Xiao Tang said in his heart that this was indeed the case for Wen Huanzhang. He had lived in seclusion for many years without moving Luocao's thoughts. However, Xiao Tang's plan was only known to his closest confidants, namely Wang Huan, Wang Jin, Lin Chong, Suo, and Wei Dingguo.
, Shan Tinggui... Even Zhou Tong, Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and other former Zepao comrades, relatives and friends knew about Xiao Tang's plan, but they would never understand it.
But at present, Xiao Tang still needs help from many aspects to lay a foundation in both the officialdom and the green forest. Sooner or later, many of these people will change their minds due to fateful encounters. There is no rush for this moment. One hundred and ten people in the Water Margin are in Shuipo Liangshan.
Among the eight heroes, how many of them had made up their minds from the very beginning to confront the government and set up the apricot-yellow flag to uphold justice for heaven?
Xiao Jiasui, who was beside him, thought for a moment and said in a leisurely voice: "As the saying goes, the five strategies of a counselor are: to seek oneself, to seek people, to seek troops, to seek the country, and to seek the world. Those who seek one's own self take care of themselves, those who seek others attack and criticize their plans, those who plan the army strategize and plan.
The ruler of the country changes from the dragon to the yuan, and those who seek the world care about the common people and the destiny of China... If Mr. Wen only wants to be attached to the officialdom where evil is in power, he is indeed not a wise man who seeks for the world."
"Not now, doesn't mean there won't be a turnaround in the future..." Xiao Tang listened to what Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui said, and said: "This Wen Zhisou is a gentleman, and he will see some things clearly sooner or later, and if he can now
It is enough to get his help."
Xu Guanzhong thought for a moment and then said: "Brother Xiao is in charge of Gou and his way to appease the company. Do you really intend to submit your wishes to the officials and plot the southwestern route of Beijing?"
"Since this fictitious position can also be used as a real power dispatch, Gao Qiu will grasp the traces of holy favor, and I, Xiao Tang, will not be able to use the Zhao Guan family?" Xiao Tang looked at Tokyo Bianliang in the distance, whose outline gradually became clearer, and said: "Speaking of
On the contrary, I would like to thank those thieves Duan Sanniang, Liu Min, and Fengtai who dared to rob my car when I entered Beijing. The Green Forest Road in the west of Beijing dared to openly cause trouble on Jingji Road and North Beijing Road.
This matter has made a big fuss, and since Zhao Ji is a trustworthy and willful person who governs the country, next time he comes to Jinfeng Yulu Tower, I can persuade him to delegate power to me to act in the west of Beijing!"
Now Bian Xiang, Sun An and other Xiao Tang's close associates are preparing to strengthen their momentum in Jingdong and Hebei. South Jingxi Road is also a gathering place for talented people and strangers under Wang Qing's command, and is being re-divided in the name of suppressing bandits.
The rivers and lakes on South Beijing Road are in line with Xiao Tang's plan. In Water Margin, the four major bandits Song Jiang, Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing each gathered together, but Xiao Tang wanted to fight as hard as possible before the turbulent times between the two Song Dynasties came.
It may erode the green forest power that these heroes should have occupied.
