I have always heard that a wife is more valuable than her husband and a mother is more valuable than her son. I have never heard of a man being more valuable than his son-in-law.
Mr. Wei has not been promoted for a long time. He has real abilities, but the most indispensable thing in the court is capable people. Firstly, he does not know how to please his boss, and secondly, he does not know how to study. Whatever achievements he has made, he is even more noble. He never thought about showing off his merits. He was able to sit in his previous position because the emperor felt that although he was occasionally inflexible, he was still a pure minister.
As for officials, the higher you go, the harder it is to get promoted. There are many people in the court like Mr. Wei who have not been promoted for a long time.
As a result, today, he was promoted based on his son-in-law's achievements.
At this moment, no matter whether they have a good relationship with Mr. Wei, a bad relationship, or an average relationship, most of them are envious in their hearts.
The promotion is one thing, and the other thing is that His Majesty looks like this now. It is obvious that he has Lord Wei's son-in-law in his heart, otherwise he would not be so kind and cheerful to receive such a great honor.
From ancient times to the present, no one can jump from the magistrate of Weeping Willow to the magistrate of Zhao.
Although they all have the same knowledge, their grades are very different.
This is equivalent to a primary school student jumping to university in one fell swoop. From a humble official, he truly became a person with full power in his hands.
Although everyone under Yuzhao is quite poor, the prefect of Anguo is from the third rank.
From the third rank, a position that many people would never reach in their lifetime, Ji Changze is now in his early twenties, and he is already sitting in such a position. It would definitely be a lie to say that the emperor does not trust him.
Some people think that this is too much of a reward, but the emperor has already issued an edict. At this time, if you stand up and say, "Your Majesty, do you want to change the reward to a more suitable one?" Isn't that asking for death
The imperial power of Anguo was supreme, and even the imperial censor would only target the emperor when he was not very reliable. Although the person currently in office is not very powerful, he is definitely not a waste. In addition, Ji Changze is really good at managing Weeping Willow. He is capable, capable and has made great contributions. His old father-in-law is still standing next to him. He is opposed at this time. In the future, this man will get up and be the first to attack them.
Ever since, the matter was settled.
The emperor was not too surprised. He also had his own little calculation. The fertilizer was presented by Ji Changze. If nothing else happened, once the fertilizer was used throughout the country, the people would definitely be grateful.
If he gives less rewards, it will inevitably make people feel that they are not doing enough.
It's different if you give too much. If word gets out, people will definitely not say "Your Majesty, you are too lavish", but "Your Majesty saw chemical fertilizer because he thought that it can increase the harvest of food and save the people below from hunger. I was so happy that I awarded him a reward."
This is a story that can be passed down through the ages.
And he didn't just give the official position casually. He had read Ji Changze's "files" and knew what the other party's Yuanhua Pani had done in Weeping Willow. He was indeed a good official who was dedicated to the people. Order.
Feeling that his orders were very logical, the emperor began to arrange the promotion of fertilizers with satisfaction. He had no idea what kind of prosperity Ji Changze would repay him in the future because of his thoughtful trust.
No matter how noble Mr. Wei was, he was still happy to be promoted. He went home with his lips curled up, and refused Mrs. Wei's suggestion of holding a banquet to celebrate. He touched his beard with a little pride and said, "I just got promoted to the imperial envoy." Doctor, he was promoted based on Nagasawa's merit, so it's not good to make it public."
"It is also our Wei family's destiny to rely on Nagasawa to get promoted. Everyone is envious of it. Master, look at which son-in-law in the capital can be as capable as our Nagasawa. Yuanhuapan made me stand out before, but now I helped the master get promoted, and I don’t know how many people resented that Nagasawa was not their son-in-law."
Mrs. Wei felt quite proud and proud: "I also heard that the third prince's concubine made some mistakes, and she actually failed to reprimand the queen and got pregnant. It seems that she made a big mistake."
Master Wei's eyebrows widened after hearing this, and then he said softly: "Don't say this again. After all, it is the royal family's business, and it is not ours to comment on."
"I know, isn't this only said in front of the master?"
Mrs. Wei personally helped Mr. Wei get out of the government, and her tone was full of relief: "It means that Nagasawa is a sensible person. That's why I didn't believe her words. Instead, I wrote a letter to tell you and me that if it were anyone else, what she had arranged With words like that, which man can have no grudges in his heart?"
After Ji Changze and Wei Juncan decided to get married, the girl who deliberately set out to do this was afraid that she wouldn't step on Wei Juncan hard enough, so she actually whispered in their son-in-law's ears that the "accident" at that time was all their family's fault. Jun Can did this deliberately so that the third prince could see that he would marry into the royal family.
If Nagasawa hadn't believed in Jun Can and guessed that this "accident" was caused by this girl, he would have specially written a letter to tell them to be careful. After all, although she had not become the third prince's main concubine as she wished, she had also become a side concubine. , after all, she is a member of the royal family. If she wants to do something to the Wei family again, they'd better be on guard.
Master Wei and Mrs. Wei are not afraid.
Although this woman became the third prince's concubine, if the concubine murdered the family members of the court ministers, the royal family would be the first to dislike her if the incident came to light.
Not afraid, but also disgusting.
How important is the innocence of a daughter's family? As a woman herself, how could she not know.
Their Juncan always behaves gently and never offends others, but she resorted to such vicious methods. Fortunately, she met a gentleman like Nagasawa. What if it were someone else
In fact, his wife is "deeply scheming and wants to seduce the prince." How can any man not care in his heart
Now that she knows that she has failed, the Queen is not happy, even Mr. Wei, who has always been generous and does not care about others, is very happy.
Mrs. Wei said: "I don't know what her expression will be like when she sees our Juncan become the prefect's wife, her husband is considerate and gentle to her, and the two of them play the piano in harmony. She wanted to harm us Juncan, but instead she succeeded." , you have found such a good son-in-law for our Wei family, and now even you, Master, have been promoted because of Nagasawa, that is, she is in the palace, otherwise I have to find a chance to see her face."
"That's right." She suddenly remembered something and asked Mr. Wei: "Now it's Nagasawa himself who gets the credit, and he shares it with the master. Will it happen to the Ji family?"
"It doesn't matter."
Master Wei thought earlier than Mrs. Wei: "Nagaze is an only son, and the Wei family is a merchant. Even if he wants to ask for grace for them, there is nothing he can do. I think that when the decree comes, he will Please give me a seal of approval."
When the decree came, Ji Changze began to ask for imperial orders without any surprise.
When he was in Chuiliu, he also stopped exchanging letters with the Ji family. At that time, he asked his parents and elders if they would like to come and live in Chuiliu, but his family refused.
On the one hand, everyone knew that Ji Changze would not stay here for long and would have to move to another place when the time came. On the other hand, it was also because he did not want to leave a familiar place.
They live a very good life now, and the Ji family also has an ancestral hall. Ji Changze and his family can only be regarded as branches. In the past, although they could speak well, they were definitely not a center. But when he passed the Jinshi examination and became an official , the Ji family ancestral hall gradually took their branch as the leader.
It was just a small clan, and if they could produce a Jinshi, it would be a big deal for them. They didn't care whether they were junior officials or not, and whether they could only be regarded as little shrimps in the court.
The relatives of the Ji family live in a familiar home, and are supported by the neighboring tribesmen. Even the official officials recognize them and know that there is an official in their family. They are not the kind of greedy ones, and now they are very satisfied.
After Ji Changze knew that they were not willing to run around, he thought so. At this time, Ji's parents were already middle-aged and elderly (although they were only in their early forties), and with the grandparents above, they were tired from traveling and traveling. Their bodies may not be able to hold on.
He could only write a letter saying that if he was recruited to the capital again, he probably wouldn't be transferred again. At that time, he would buy a big house and take all his elders to live there. Anyway, counting the days, in about three years He can be called to the capital.
It's like a promotion game.
Ji Changze first served as a small magistrate. When his superiors (the emperor) found out that he had done a good job as a magistrate and had some special contributions, he could be promoted to a magistrate.
When the prefect also made achievements, the emperor would naturally call him back to the capital.
After finishing writing, Ji Changze turned around and wrote this good news letter to his parents and relatives before taking office.
Of course, he was not polite. He wrote a report and approved a note, hoping to take his subordinates to the prefecture.
He had to take them with him. These subordinates were carefully trained and taught by him. Each one was full of skill points. As long as Ji Changze wanted to do something, they could start working immediately.
Simply put, he thinks it and they do it, and they do it pretty well.
How could Ji Changze throw away such a good subordinate
After going to the state capital, he had to train and teach his new subordinates again. He had to watch them learn many things that his subordinates knew now.
Besides, Ji Changze, who is the only one in heaven and earth who is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, can't say that there are no good subordinates that they can't do, and leave them to others? How can it be.
He sighed to his subordinates who were called over for a small meeting: "After much thought, I still can't bear to leave you. I want to take you to the state capital with me. What about you?"
The subordinates, led by the three chief arrestees of the county magistrate, had mixed feelings.
Logically speaking, if they go to the state capital, they will definitely get promoted. This is a good thing and they should be happy.
But when he thought about how capable his elders were, he could make flowers out of a small weeping willow, and he couldn't help but wonder when he went to the state capital.
The key is that it doesn't matter if he goes to heaven, he still has to go with them.
But I would be reluctant not to follow him. Although I have to do more work with Mr. Ji, the things I do are a little more complicated, and my hair falls out a little faster, the benefits are indeed full.
Nowadays, among them, none of them have their own fan groups outside.
Master Ji likes to ask them to do things, but every time he is done with it, he never takes credit for it. Instead, he tells everyone openly and openly: Who did this thing? Yes, who did that thing? And so on. There and that, a few of them did it together.
There has never been a shortage of money. Even since Mr. Ji took office, Ji Changze's fifty-eight confidants have never had to buy rice, oil or meat. They get red envelopes when they marry a wife, and they get red envelopes when a child is born. There are red envelopes for the full moon, and the child is in the county government kindergarten without anyone watching. Even if the child is sick or in pain, the county government will cover the medical expenses.
Last time, a policeman broke his leg when he went to catch a thief. It was the doctor Mr. Ji sent for.
When I was enjoying it before, I sighed every day that this place was good and that there was a good place. But when I thought that Mr. Ji was gone and we would no longer have this kind of treatment, I felt so unhappy.
This is like a few social workers who were used to living a life of easy work but low wages. Suddenly one day a new boss arrived. The new boss paid them bonuses and salary increases out of his own pocket, and also paid them himself. I get benefits, and from time to time I will give out red envelopes and pat my chest. I promise that from now on, your children’s schooling will be taken care of by me. As long as I am your boss, I will take care of you every day. Not only will I take care of you, I will also help you. If your wife wants to find an easy job with lots of money, I can even help your children find jobs after they graduate, and I will also give each of you a house.
Although everyone felt that the work was hard, they all became happy after getting used to the hard work, and felt that such a small life was really comfortable.
Suddenly one day, the wealthy boss wanted to change jobs to another company.
He came over and told the social workers to come with me. The position there is higher than here, the salary is better than here, and it can be said that it will be more honorable. When we get there, we will still be superiors and subordinates, and I will still protect you.
The social beasts are faced with two paths.
One, stay, but because the boss is too capable, a lot of things are left here. Even if they stay, they will still work as hard as before, and they will not receive the various compensation benefits provided by the boss.
Second, follow your boss and continue to enjoy the happy life of being protected by your boss.
Is this still a choice
If you haven't experienced how happy it is to be covered, some people may still think it's good to stay, but they have experienced the benefits, the sense of accomplishment of signing your name after doing something, and the admiration of your family...
You can’t leave it behind at all, okay
Wuxian Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Changze in front of him who had a "I really can't bear to leave you" look on his face, and felt that he had glimpsed the truth.
Lord Ji, he must have expected such a day for a long time. It's so sinister.
He snorted coldly in his heart, thinking that this might be Master Ji's third round of test, so he was the first to step forward and salute: "I am willing to accompany you to the state capital."
Ji Changze immediately gave him a gentle Shangguan smile and helped him up very close: "Okay, don't worry, Mr. Wu County, even though you are going to the state capital, what you are doing is not much different from what you are doing now. , I believe in you, you will definitely do it well."
About the same as now
It seems to be acceptable, and I'm used to it anyway.
Wu Xian Cheng also showed a smile: "Thank you for your trust, I will do my best."
Seeing the two of them being affectionate, the others became anxious.
Well, you Wuxian Cheng, you are such a thief, and we are still hesitant. You stood up and agreed so firmly, do you want to show off in front of the adults to suppress us
They didn't care anymore and hurriedly stepped forward.
"My lord, my subordinates are reluctant to leave you."
"Wherever the master goes, the subordinates will go."
"My subordinates are loyal to you. No matter where you go, you will follow me."
Ji Changze chuckled with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, with you here, I feel much more at ease."
The previous prefect made no mistake and had been petitioning for retirement. In order to show that "you are a good minister and I can't bear to leave you," the emperor called back twice. This time was the third time. It just so happened that he wanted to find a good position for Ji Changze. The book was right in front of me, so I simply approved it and asked Ji Changze to take his place.
As for why the timing was so coincidental, why Ji Changze didn’t go to deliver fertilizer before the gentleman handed over the third discount, but the other party wanted to retire, so he, a small official, ran to donate fertilizer. Only Ji Changze himself could do this. Know.
If he were to tell me, he would probably say something like "coincidences are all man-made" with complete peace of mind.
When new officials take office, they have to have a good battle of wits and courage with the local dignitaries and old-timers in the yamen. If they can win, they will have three fires when they take office. If they can't, they will either be ignored or regarded as mentally retarded.
Ji Changze is different.
When others take office, they can at most bring a master. When he took office, he brought with him a bunch of subordinates who were loyal to him.
Each of these subordinates is experienced in many battles (trained by Ji Changze), versatile (trained by various strange tasks), and each one of them is loyal (can you not be loyal? They saw it with their own eyes. What will happen to those who oppose Master Ji?) The Weeping Willow Heavenly Group headed by Ji Changze airborne and easily took the initiative.
At this moment, the subordinate team members are still in a very good mood. After all, they are in a new environment and new work. Finally, they no longer have to endlessly write questions/write articles/eat chicken breasts.
Life is still beautiful.
Then, Ji Changze did something crazy.
He spent his own money to build roads between Weeping Willow and the state capital with cement.
Weeping Willow is poor, but it is not far from the central state capital. It used to be a detour, but now Ji Changze directly built a road according to the shortest distance.
He was particularly proud and said to his subordinates: "In this way, it will be much more convenient for you to go back to Weeping Liu to do things."
The words were filled with happiness of "Why am I so considerate?"
Subordinates: “…”
So, even though they have been promoted and become civil servants in the state government, they still have to do the work of weeping willows, right
No, it should be said that now we have to do the work of the state capital, and we have to do the work of the weeping willow.
Seeing that his subordinates were all looking at him with dead eyes, Ji Changze walked over one by one and patted their shoulders to encourage morale: "Are you all very touched? I specially built the road for you."
An Guo is a good boss, who else can he be
The subordinates are blind.
Ji Changze: "Although it is good to be prudent, sometimes you are too prudent. Come on, let's have a small meeting."
The subordinates continued to be blind.
Ji Changze became excited as soon as he saw them like this. He dragged a few people into the study room with great interest and began to give an impassioned speech, no, his reflections.
The general meaning is, do you think I want you to do the work of weeping willows before building roads? No, I am now the prefect and in charge of the entire state. Do I still lack a few subordinates
I brought you to the state capital because I don’t trust anyone but you, and I asked you to continue working on the weeping willows. That’s also because the weeping willows were made by a few of us, and we worked together to turn the weeping willows into what they are now ( Wu Xian Cheng glanced at Ji Changze secretly, and whispered in his heart: "It's obviously your lord, you're talking and we're going to do it"), if you leave it to others, even if I am relieved, you can't be relieved, right
and!
You have worked so hard to lay the foundation and sow the seeds, and they are about to bear fruit. Are you happy to let others pick the fruit at this time
This will definitely have no impact on me, and the weeping willows are under my control, but what about you
Not to mention anything else, just the academy. Now that you are gone, the academy has lost a few teachers who can go to a few classes every week. For you, it means that you no longer go to class. For the students who are studying, there is no such thing as profound knowledge (Wuxian Cheng stood up straight unconsciously), superb arithmetic (Master Liang raised his chin slightly with a little expression of "I really want to be proud but I have to be reserved") and strong martial arts. (Wang Capt. straightened his spine) Sir, how much less do they need to learn
So, you say, weeping willow, is it necessary to go
The subordinates nodded slightly with a little pride.
Ji Changze continued to ask: The affairs of the state capital are your duties. Should you also do the affairs of the state capital
This time everyone nodded a little slower.
But one is his job, and the other is the peaches he has worked so hard to grow. It would be a pity to lose either one, so he grabs them with both hands. This logic seems to be correct.
Wuxian Cheng could see that Ji Changze was tricking them again, but he was very happy to be tricked.
But no, they worked so hard at Weeping Willow and laid so many foundations. How many brain cells did they spend and how much hair did they lose to establish the academy? When the big and small shopping streets decided to establish, I don’t know if the plan came out. How many of them are selected by Mr. Ji
This is all hard work.
Now that it’s time to eat the fruit, how can we miss them
What's more, he is so talented and full of literary works that he is a blessing to the students. Every day, without Mr. Ji's advice, he sits down at his desk and writes questions. After Mr. Ji gives some advice, he takes the exam every two days. Every time he goes to physical education class outside (named after Ji Changze) When it comes to subjects that don't matter if he takes ten minutes less, he will be very considerate and use fruit to exchange ten minutes with Wang Captou for his own class so that the students can lay a solid foundation.
He was so kind, and if he left, the students wouldn't necessarily be too sad.
As a good gentleman, do more things for the students.
Wu Xian Cheng was very proud of recalling the great achievements he had made before, and kept his mouth shut without exposing his superiors.
The next day, the group returned to Weeping Willow in a less bumpy carriage.
The first academy he went to, he looked at his students with great affection through the glass windows.
Ah, they saw him.
When class was over, Wu Xiancheng looked at the subject list. It was very good. The next class was physical education.
He walked in with light steps, and after announcing that gentlemen like them from the county government would still teach, he took out a stack of papers with a little pride of "Ah, I am such a good gentleman": "Everyone doesn't need to go outside yet. Come on, hand out my new test papers first, and then go to Mr. Wang's class after doing it for a while."
Look, how many of these students welcomed him back, and some even cried with joy.
Oh, he is such a good gentleman.
