Yuan Yao stayed with Sima Yi all day long, but felt that he didn't learn anything. Sima Yi took his name and traveled around Yanzhou, but he didn't teach him anything useful. Moreover, Sima Yi's relationship with the local officials,
Yuan Yao was so despised, no matter what kind of shameless flattery, Sima Yi could endure it.
During these two months, Yuan Yao accompanied Sima Yi throughout Yanzhou and met many officials. No matter where he went, Sima Yi always asked Yuan Yao to follow him. Yuan Yao also saw many
Something he had never seen in his life, the respect of local officials, he had seen in Yuzhou, but it was different from Yanzhou. The respect of local officials in Yuzhou was only in words, but here, it was in the form of precious gifts.
Another night, Sima Yi was sitting in the study, holding the jade stone sent by the officials, placing it under the light, looking at it carefully, looking at Sima Yi's happy look, Yuan Yao stood behind him, his face full of disdain,
Sima Yi looked at it carefully for a long time, then turned around and asked with a smile: "Yao'er? What do you think of this jade?"
As he said that, he suddenly threw the jade at Yuan Yao. Yuan Yao was shocked and caught the jade in a hurry. He was not in the mood to appreciate the jade, but said solemnly: "Cousin, last year,
The emperor has just vigorously punished corrupt officials, how can you accept money from others? If someone is willing to report it, let alone Yanzhou Mu, even the county magistrate, I am afraid you will not be able to become a magistrate!"
Yuan Yao said angrily.
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The so-called corrupt officials are those who accept benefits from others and help others to do things. This is called a corrupt official. I just accepted the gift, but I also returned the gift. I did not do anything due to my authority.
And if you do something illegal, how can you say it is bribery?" Sima Yi glanced at Yuan Yao and said: "Reciprocity is nothing more than a relationship between famous people."
Yuan Yao's eyes widened and he asked angrily: "In that case, why does my cousin do it secretly? Why can't he see the light?"
"In the name of reciprocity, openly accepting gifts from subordinate officials will definitely bring disaster to my cousin."
"It's not that you can't see the light, it's just that you have to be careful about this kind of thing, otherwise, the emperor will be unhappy."
Yuan Yao snorted coldly and said: "This has never happened in my Yuzhou state."
Sima Yi slammed the case and interrupted Yuan Yao's words, "Yuzhou, Yuzhou, haha, you were led astray by that idiot Zhuge Villager. He is a poultry farmer. He doesn't know anything about politics. He governs politics in Yuzhou. Since then,
He doesn't win over the officials, saying that he will delegate important matters to everyone and work together. In fact, he simply looks down on any official in Yuzhou. In his eyes, everyone, including you, is just a tool, not a confidant."
"He will not entrust important matters to these people. In the name of delegating power, he lets everyone do things according to his ideas. This is not delegating power, it is treating people like dogs!"
"Thanks to a stupid dog like you, being used by others, you still have to say good things to others."
"Governing a state is not about governing a county. It's not about governing a county. How many counties, how many counties, how many prefects and county magistrates are there in Yanzhou? What are they thinking in their hearts? Are they willing to work hard for your great cause? These
Have you ever thought about it? After I arrived in Yanzhou, I focused on winning over these officials. What they sent was not respect, but themselves!"
"The whole of Yanzhou is gathered under my account. Those who are unwilling to come near have been eliminated by me. The officials in Yanzhou are willing to obey my orders, with me as the leader, and execute them willingly, because they are all my trusted followers.
The higher I climb due to my political achievements, the greater the benefit to them. But in Yuzhou, even if the officials work to death, all the credit belongs to Zhuge Liang, so what benefit does it have to those people?!"
"Nowadays, you don't even understand simple principles, but you still want everyone to work for you. Let me tell you, if Zhuge Liang could not talk to the emperor, the local officials would not pay attention to him at all. He thinks about everything.
It's too idealistic. It seems that as long as you give orders, everyone will be willing to do it. What can you learn by following him?"
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Yuan Yao was furious. Zhuge Liang had been teaching him for a long time, how could he allow others to insult him? However, this was a close relative of his own, and he was older than him. Yuan Yao gritted his teeth.
Silent.
"Hahaha, Zhuge Liang asked you to build a feudal vassal, and you are so grateful?"
Sima Yi laughed, stood up, stretched his body, and then looked at Yuan Yao, "I am not you. I will not treat my relatives badly. From tomorrow on, you will be the shepherd of Yanzhou for me.
You can deal with the memorials of the officials, big and small, by yourself. Just in time, I'm going to rest for a while!" Sima Yi yawned and was about to leave.
"Wait, cousin??I??"
"What's wrong?"
"How can this state pastoral matter be considered a child's play?"
Before Yuan Yao could finish speaking, Sima Yi had already left the study, leaving only Yuan Yao standing in the study at a loss. Will he start being a state pastor tomorrow? What talents do I have to be a state pastor? If something goes wrong,
What should I do?
Sure enough, Sima Yi really did as he said, completely ignoring political affairs, and went directly back to his hometown to find his first wife, and lived a happy world for the two of them. The next day, Yuan Yao got up, rushed to the study, and waited for a long time.
After a full hour, Sima Yi didn't come. Only then did he realize that his cousin was not joking with him. Yuan Yao had no choice but to stretch out his trembling hand and take the place table on the case to read.
There were also some officials in the study, who usually helped Sima Yi write and organize. Yuan Yao picked up the memorial and looked at it. These people immediately surrounded him with smiles, without any intention of stopping Yuan Yao, and said
To help Yuan Yao handle it, Yuan Yao felt for the first time that Yanzhou surpassed Yuzhou, and it cannot be said that it surpassed him. In short, if he wanted to interfere in something in Yuzhou, the officials would definitely stop him.
It was different in Yanzhou. These people were all Sima Yi's close confidants. As for Sima Yi's cousin, they looked at him directly as Shaojun, and he could do whatever he wanted.
Yuan Yao looked at these memorials. These were suggestions from various officials. Many of them were prefects, and occasionally county magistrates. Yuan Yao frowned. These people were so active in submitting memorials. This was really what he had done before.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Yao looked at these proposals seriously, and he really didn't know how to solve them. He scratched his head and looked at the subordinates below.
"What does my cousin do on weekdays?"
"Shaojun, the county magistrate's memorial has been rejected and sent to the prefecture. The county magistrate cannot exceed his authority and submit the memorial unless it is for impeachment. As for the prefect's memorial, if Shaojun thinks it can be implemented, then do it. If not, just hand it over to him directly.
We, we can just reply ourselves." The official said with a smile.
Yuan Yao struggled for a long time and suddenly remembered the scene in Yuzhou.
In an instant, his whole person seemed to have changed. He slowly raised his head and said proudly: "Go and get the map of Yanzhou!" The officials quickly took action, and soon, the map of Yanzhou was placed.
In front of him, Yuan Yao looked at it seriously and said just now: "I heard that when educating students, you must teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and when governing local areas, you must adapt to local conditions. The situation in each place in Yanzhou is different, and the policies to be implemented should also be different.
of."
"Young Master is a great talent!" the officials praised him one after another.
"I didn't come in person. I took the map and looked at their suggestions. I asked them to implement administrative orders according to local conditions. I rewarded those who made good suggestions with some money and rewarded their merits. I also rewarded those who had not been used.
We need to give them a small reward to keep up their efforts. Most of Yanzhou is plain, and cultivated land and water conservancy are indispensable. We sent people to Luoyang and found some master craftsmen who can repair water conservancy from the Gongfu. They also have
Lots of advanced tools”
"Sincerely!!"
The subordinate officials paid homage to him.
Yuan Yao frowned and said: "In these days, you just do as I say. As for me, prepare a carriage and manpower for me. I want to go to the place again in person. In the name of my cousin,
Take a look at the situation in various places, contact the officials, and prepare some gifts for me, and be polite and reciprocate!"
"Here you go!"
Yuan Yao squinted his eyes, looked at the map in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
"Hahaha! He really said that?" In the backyard, Sima Yi almost jumped up with excitement, and the subordinate in front of him also had a smile on his face and flattered him with a smile: "Young Master said such words
Yes, just now, he has left the state pastoral office, saying that he was going to keep in touch with each other and see the progress of the government decrees in various places."
"Wonderful! Good!" Sima Yi laughed.
"The young master is smart, which is a blessing to his lord." The subordinates also did not forget to flatter him.
Sima Yi waved his hand and asked his men to leave, but he couldn't help but laugh. His wife Zhang was busy nearby. Seeing him smiling so happily, she felt a little strange in her heart. She knew that her husband
She has always been calm and collected, and has never seen him lose his composure like this. However, seeing her husband happy makes her naturally happy too.
"Husband, why are you so happy?" Ms. Zhang asked curiously.
"Madam, I made a big mistake." Sima Yi said with a smile.
"Ah? You're still so happy after making a big mistake? Could it be that you've lost your mind and gone crazy?" Ms. Zhang naturally didn't believe what he said. She snorted coldly and said, "If you don't want to tell me, just tell me. Why bother?"
"
Sima Yi held her hand, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Madam, I really made a mistake. I originally wanted to turn a little Kongming into a little Zhongda, but in the end, I didn't accept it for a while.
