The world of film and television begins with the God of Medicine

The state government is a huge unit, with governors, general judges and colleagues in charge of state affairs, judges or judges, secretaries or envoys, and officials, as well as recorders and military officers, as well as slightly lower-ranked managers, judicial officers, and other officials. When Si Husan joined the army, his rank was roughly the same as that of county chief secretary or county lieutenant. Of course, his actual status was definitely higher, and he was collectively called magistrate secretary.

These people are the senior officials of a state. They are the magistrates of the state and general magistrates who issue orders. The rest take charge of their own affairs and specialize in Cao affairs. Cao's affairs are also the so-called five Cao's affairs, namely soldiers, officials, punishment, water, and work. Each has its own person in charge, or some senior official serves concurrently. There are low-level and even low-level officials at various levels, leading a large number of contract workers. These people below work within the state and carry out specific production, construction and taxation activities.

As for the local army, it is a different system. There is overlap, but it is not close. After all, when a military attache meets a civilian official, his official position will be automatically reduced by one level. Military attachés who are not very good will have to be reduced to two levels.

The commander of the Xiang Army in Hangzhou could not stand up to the table in front of Wang Yan and others, and the Cao officials below could bully the officers. Of course, if you are a military attache of the Forbidden Army, your treatment will be better. After all, you are a regular army and are much more powerful than the Xiang Army. No matter how low the military attache's status is, it is only relatively speaking, and he is not bullied by whoever catches him...

Of course, there were no military attaches at the gathering of Wang Yan and other high-ranking state officials, let alone other middle- and lower-level officials. The lowest rank is also the chief registrar and county captain of Qiantang County. That is, those people who were at Fan Zhongyan in the morning, plus the team members from Qiantang County.

Except for Fan Zhongyan, the prefecture magistrate, who was not interested, all other prominent officials in Qiantang County were present. Even the Qiantang magistrate, whose actual status was higher than Wang Yan, the official of Duzhou Zhongtongpan, also came to the party that night. Activities, for Wang Tongpan to pick up the wind and wash away the dust.

As for Fan Zhongyan not coming, no one dared to have an opinion or even say a word of nonsense. The boss is the boss. Even if the tiger falls in peace, no one will think about it and bring trouble to themselves.

The banquet went smoothly. As for some matters in the state and some things in the court, everyone only briefly mentioned them. The conversation mainly revolved around Wang Yan, chatting about romantic affairs and praising how awesome Wang Yan was.

There was no direct embarrassment because it wasn't time to do anything yet. Everyone just wants to hold Wang Yan, the nineteen-year-old champion, up high first, so that it will be easier for him to take the blame or mess around at work in the future.

The intentions of these old fritters are quite sinister.

This is a normal thing. No one would willingly submit to a new Shangguan and obey orders. What's more, they all have their own positions, their own interests, and even the interest groups they represent. Even if Fan Zhongyan is here, his words may not always be effective. Everyone would only respectfully accept Fan Zhongyan's instructions, but when it came time to execute them, they became completely different.

Since ancient times, the central government and the localities, localities and localities, and the interior of the localities have not been a piece of iron twisted into a rope. This is why the so-called "politics is the art of compromise" is said, because through constant struggle and mutual concessions, a result that is barely acceptable and acceptable can be finally reached.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of human standpoint.

Of course Wang Yan wouldn't be fooled by them, but he didn't say much. Anyway, he followed them no matter what they said, and they still had a good conversation. Not only is he not blinded by flattery, but he also flatters others. Who else can deceive others better than him?

Although they didn't say anything else important, this meal was not just a casual chat. In the final analysis, it was still testing each other. Over the course of a drink, Wang Yan had roughly grasped who these officials were and what their relationship was with each other. This was part of the so-called political ecology and the basis for alliances.

Of course, Wang Yan didn't need it too much. He just wanted to stabilize the situation and didn't want to be targeted.

"How are you today, officials? I heard from my father that when you first enter officialdom, you will be embarrassed."

Seeing Wang Yan return to the house smelling of alcohol, Hua Lan imitated the way her mother treated her father, and thoughtfully took off Wang Yan's outer shirt. Then she watched Wang Yan simply take off his inner shirt, wearing only his shirt. The big pants that she made by herself still showed off her strong muscles.

But now Hua Lan is used to it, and the blush on her cheeks is gone.

Wang Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, you want to flatter me. But these are minor problems. The main reason is that Mr. Fan thought I was a little impatient and wanted to work hard, so he didn't assign me a job. He looked at the ledger for a day .”

"Haste makes waste. Officials are still young. As long as they do their job with peace of mind, they can always come forward. No, they have already come forward. As long as they are cautious and don't make any mistakes, there will always be a time when they can take charge."

"Madam, you think your husband is impatient?" Wang Yan smiled, soaked his feet in the hot water brought by the little girl at home, and asked, "Where did you go to play today?"

"I traveled to the West Lake and went to the Tea Mountain with my sister-in-law from the Fan family. I also visited a perfume shop and other shops that make a living. They will be open in a few days."

In the Song Dynasty, officials were prohibited from doing business, and the scholar-bureaucrat class also looked down upon business. But it is well known that it is useless. The scholar-bureaucrats who look down on business have people in their families who are engaged in business.

Civil and military officials have been prohibited from doing business in any dynasty or generation, and the ban will remain the same even thousands of years later, but they still do what they should do and make the same money they should earn. It's just pretending to be someone else's name, just to get a few more gloves.

Wang Yan followed the Romans when he came to his hometown. Anyone who has heard of the perfume shop knows that this business belongs to him. It has even become a harem item purchased by the royal palace. Wang Yan has even opened a new series specially for the royal family. It is only sold to members of the royal family, and no one else can buy it.

He is already above board, and no one is going to deal with him. Of course, if you really want to do it, it will be useless. He also has other names to evade supervision. No one will really take it seriously. After all, everyone is unclean. They are causing trouble for themselves. They have all fooled themselves like this.

"That's good. Don't be trapped in the back house. Go out for a walk and take a look. You must bring a guard with you, and don't go too far away from the city. Although the world seems peaceful, there are still a lot of dangers. These days I will familiarize myself with the situation and go out with my wife to have some fun."

"That's great." Hua Lan nodded happily.

"Is everything at home tidied up?"

"Ping'er and the others, as well as Sister-in-law Jin, have all been properly settled."

"Tomorrow I will send someone to Fan Gong's mansion to send a message, and send a cook over to learn from it."

"I told my sister-in-law of the Fan family today, and someone will come tomorrow."

"What more could a husband ask for from such a good wife?"

Hua Lan chuckled: "Fan Gong is well-known all over the world. He is highly virtuous and highly respected. He favors my husband. I dare not forget it."

"That's right. In the words of my father-in-law, this is the backer of our family. We must do everything carefully."

"Actually, it's not easy for dad. In the past, my family was in decline. It was my dad who studied hard and studied hard that kept him up. So it's inevitable to be cautious in everything, for fear of making a mistake and being doomed."

Hua Lan still knows her biological father very well, and this is indeed the case. Nowadays, the Sheng family is tied to Sheng Hong. It is nothing in Beijing, but it is already a serious and powerful family in the local area. But it is not that they dare not make troubles. They only seek stability for fear of losing their wealth in one day.

The couple chatted, then hugged each other and fell asleep...

The next day, Wang Yan came to Guansha and ordered Mao for a while when he was called over by Fan Zhongyan.

"Mr. Fan." Wang Yan saluted respectfully.

"Sit down and talk."

"yes."

After Wang Yan sat down and the waiter served tea, Fan Zhongyan asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"

"fine."

"Did you gain anything from yesterday's banquet?"

“All my colleagues are very enthusiastic.”

"lie."

Wang Yan said with a smile: "If in Duke Fan's house, the students would say that they have sinister intentions and want to praise and kill the students, and there is a lot of contempt and little respect in their words. If they don't correct them, the students will not be able to do this. "

Haven't we already said this... Fan Zhongyan smiled, but he knew that Wang Yan never regarded him as an outsider.

I couldn't help but ask: "Is there a way to rectify it?"

"I heard that the Zhang Shuanpan tribe set up a gambling bureau outside the city, bribed the county chief bookkeeper, seized hundreds of acres of farmland, and sold the wives and daughters of good families. However, this is just gossip and cannot be true. It needs to be verified. And Zhang Shuanpan At most, it is just a fault of lax discipline, and it is difficult to change the position. That's it for now, students have to look at the state's accounts before they can find out some problems."

"Aren't you in a hurry to assign tasks?"

"I think Mr. Fan thinks that the way students govern local affairs is too impatient and tempers the students. But after all, the students are the general judges. Fan Zhizhou can't keep rubbing the students. After all, he still needs to share some authority."

"What he said is true. Fan Zhizhou certainly wants to give Wang Tong some authority."

Fan Zhongyan burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "Now that I understand what I mean, and I have spoken clearly, I don't want to embarrass you anymore. In that case, I will go to the Xiang Army first to have a look. There are more than 3,000 Xiang Army troops in Hangzhou. They are distributed in various counties. There are a thousand Xiang troops in Qiantang, and the official residence is in the north of the city, so you can go there."

"Don't be in a hurry. I've read the accounts first. It's not too late to find out the errors and omissions of the state officials." Wang Yan pondered for a moment, cupped his hands, and continued, "To be honest with Mr. Fan, the student has arranged for a mountain of manpower. King. Once we find out the situation of the big households in this state, we will start robbing them next month."

"I already know."

"Oh? How did Mr. Fan know?"

"Yesterday, your housekeeper went out, but my old servant saw it."

Wang Yan told the truth, and Fan Zhongyan also told the truth. I know that you are not worried, and the people you arranged are all watching.

"They are all caravan guards. They have some martial arts skills. The students have figured out some ways to attack together in a battle formation. Although they are not as good as the forbidden army, they are very good at killing the servants of wealthy families."

"Oh? What method?"

Fan Zhongyan also fought in wars in his early years. It can be said that Fan Zhongyan stabilized the situation after Li Yuanhao's rebellion. Of course, Han Qi and others also contributed a lot, but it is not wrong to say that Fan Zhongyan's contribution is greater. He is a serious minister who knows military affairs. He also promoted many generals, the most famous being Di Qing, and the equally famous Zhong Shiheng...

So Wang Yan talked with Fan Zhongyan about some battle formation combined attack methods that he said he had "thought a little bit about himself", and also demonstrated it to Fan Zhongyan on the spot. Fan Zhongyan was also an old man who had a boyish madness. He tested Wang Yan's views on some of the battles he had led before. He also discussed the wars in Xixia and Liao, and conducted an armchair exercise.

"Zi Yan is really a genius..."

"Fan Gong has high regard for students, but it's just talk on paper."

"Zi Yan thinks Zhao Kuo is really incompetent?"

Fan Zhongyan shook his head and stopped talking about military affairs. Why is he just talking on paper? If Xixia and Liao could be beaten violently, why would they have to pay Sui coins every year to buy peace? They would have been killed long ago. Speaking of these things, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but feel sad and angry when he knew his destiny long ago.

He pushed some official documents over and said, "The state affairs should be informed by the state and the general magistrate should sign on them. These old men have already signed them. You can take them back and have a look. Just sign them and have them handed over."

After saying that, he drank tea again.

Wang Yan picked up a stack of official documents and cupped his hands: "Students resign."

These are all official documents that can be signed directly. After all, Fan Zhongyan has gone through it once. Even if he wants to test Wang Yan's sensitivity, Fan Zhongyan will not trouble him with such a serious matter. After all, as long as two people's names are signed on the official document, they will be held responsible. I am not afraid of taking responsibility, but this is a policy to be implemented in the state and a report to the capital.

Only junior officials of Wang Yan would do this. They would come up with some inconspicuous but important things to fool Wang Yan and achieve some of their goals. Official document writing is a professional skill. Whether it is now or a thousand years from now, there are many things to pay attention to. In particular, the traces left by work can be checked and have many impacts.

After returning to his office and looking through it casually, Wang Yan simply wrote his name and gave it to his clerk to send out, and then went to the accounting office again to report.

He is still very active in auditing accounts. The fate of state and county officials is here, and their power also comes from here.

Struggle sounds like a very high-end word. But the actual struggle is actually to trick people, make the opponent make mistakes, and take advantage of the opponent. When the time comes, whether it is to win over or suppress, you will have the initiative and push some things in the direction that is beneficial to you, and that is victory.

When Wang Yan checks accounts, he is looking for other people's mistakes and causing trouble for others. The flattery he received from others and the subsequent lack of cooperation were also caused by mischief.

Struggle, struggle, both fighting and fighting, but not so harmoniously.

In this way, Wang Yan's life was temporarily fixed.

I would come to the Yamen every day to make a fortune, and then have a few small chats with Fan Zhongyan, then leave with the official document, read it over and then sign it. Then he rushed into the accounting room, where his family brought him lunch. In this way, he went to the lower office, either to participate in the invitation of a senior official, or to chat with Fan Chunren about his way of governing the local area.

He doesn't look for trouble, smiles at everyone, and stays bored in the accounting room where others think there is no problem at all. He comes early and leaves early, and he is very respectable. If anyone invites him, he will basically support him.

Wang Yan's attitude toward other middle- and lower-level officials was also very kind. When he saw people, he could always call them by their names and chat casually, which could be considered as a way of keeping people in front of them. Anyway, the lower-level officials all liked the new Tongsuan. There had never been such a kind Tongsuan before. He still remembered their names and was willing to stand and talk to them a few more words.

Only the two petty officials who followed Wang Yan felt sorry for each other. They were both careless about life and death, and they even started to say good things about Wang Yan behind his back...

It's not that Wang Yan is bad, but Wang Yan is very good to the two men he directly manages. Sometimes I even bring them a portion for lunch. On weekdays, it is also refreshing.

But they were the only two who had experienced Wang Yan's torture and knew what Wang Yan was like when he was not good. They really killed each other with a smile. The two of them had been observing for half a month, but they couldn't read any information from Wang Yan's face. They ask themselves that they are used to looking at people's faces, which is really scary.

Of course, Wang Yan didn't know what his two men were thinking, so it was definitely not that exaggerated. There is no extra expression other than laughter, which is so eye-catching. He will still have other expressions, but they are all what he wants to show. Expression management is not deliberately practiced, but comes from his unshakable mentality. After all, nothing can shake him.

I can't keep a straight face all the time, that would make people very uncomfortable, so I can only smile...

After half a month like this, Fan Chunren and his wife came to Wang Yan's house for a dinner party that evening.

He asked with a smile: "I heard that Brother Ziyan has been checking the accounts for half a month. Did you find anything?"

"Of course there is."

Wang Yan knew Fan Chunren's mentality of looking at jokes. After all, it was always a pleasant thing to see an awesome person being defeated and left in the cold. Especially when everyone is still friends, especially when I am not as good as myself in everything. There is no bad intention, I just want to laugh and comfort myself.

"oh?"

Fan Chunren raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Tell me about it?"

"This is a state matter. Although you have an official status, you have no mission. You are not an official of the state, so you cannot spy on it."

At that moment, Fan Chunren, who was quite well-educated, wanted to hit someone.

Seeing the resentment on his face, Wang Yan laughed and said, "We found some errors in the accounts, and there must be corruption in them. However, we must carefully examine who is actually corrupt, and we must not act rashly."

"What's the number?"

"There are currently 120,000 guan, which is a shortfall over the past three years."

"So many?"

"It only costs Fan Lou a few months of happiness."

“How does Hangzhou compare with Beijing.”

Wang Yan was just expressing the gap. He turned to say: "Next month, I will ask Mr. Fan to check Chang Pingcang together. I think it will be a bit lively."

"My father already checked it out when he took office."

"Is it possible to borrow grain in advance to fill the warehouse? Or is it just a superficial effort?"

Fan Chunren was silent, because it was indeed possible. Although his father is powerful, he is not a god. People's hearts are unpredictable and too complicated.

"Don't worry. Mr. Fan is in good spirits now and his health is much better. He's just a bit of a rat, not a big deal."

"Brother Ziyan is confident, but there is a discrepancy in the accounts?"

"Every autumn harvest, Chang Pingcang needs to replace the old rice and add new rice. There are many ways to do this..."

In this way, Fan Chunren, who exchanged some issues about the operation of Changpin Warehouse and learned some new knowledge, talked about other things: "I wonder if Ziyan is free?"

"Brother, what's the matter?"

"I teach at the academy in the city. The scholars all admire Wang Ziyan's reputation. Knowing that I have a good relationship with you, they asked me to come and invite you. If you have time, you can come to the academy to give a lecture to the scholars."

"Scholars praise the king's words, and the king's words must not disappoint the public. Besides, I am still a relatively young man, and it is a great blessing to have the support of my colleagues. Brother, please continue to make arrangements, and I will go at any time."

"How about setting it in seven days?"

"Very good."

Thank you (book friend 20240320140554132) for the 100-coin reward for your support.

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
