Chapter VII Opening House(1/2)

Li Yuanai went directly to the inn in Suzhou.

Suzhou is located in a corner, and there are not many foreign officials in normal times, and the inn is a bit simple.

Zhou Rui also planned to give up the State Prefecture Office to Li Yuanai as the Governor's Office, and did not spend any effort to repair it. However, he did not expect that Li Yuanai would choose to temporarily inn instead of the State Prefecture Office, which made Zhou Rui extremely embarrassed.

Li Yuanai did not expect that Suzhou Inn was so humid, but since he said it, it was difficult to repent. However, the renovation of the Grand Governor's Office had to be put on the agenda.

Li Yuanai asked Zhou Rui and his group to retreat on the grounds that the boat and the car were exhausted.

Li Yuanai did not show any enthusiasm for local officials in Suzhou like Zhou Rui, but was a little cold.

"You will find your own room to live in and put your luggage down. After half an hour, come to me together. Let's sit down and discuss it together. As for the residence, you don't need to find it. I chose the location of the Governor's Office and gave you a set of houses nearby. They included food, accommodation, and houses, so they were almost like to send their wife to their wife, right?"

Li Yuanai smiled and said to Liu Rengui, Di Zhixun, Lou Shide, Shangguan Yi and Lu Zhaolin.

This attitude is very different from Zhou Rui's time.

This prince opened his mansion, which meant building his own small court.

The salary of all shogunate personnel is naturally responsible for Li Yuanai. Unless the shogunate officials also serve as officials in the court, the cost of the aides will be the responsibility of the Prince of Kaifu.

Li Yuanai is naturally rich and powerful when it comes to the talents in his shogunate. He takes action and sets up a house for each person.

After getting along these days, the five people have already had a certain understanding of their boss.

Everyone knows that he values ​​himself very much and does not have any airs in normal times. He is easy to get along with, so he bows and thanks.

Li Yuanai invited his wife Xu Long to visit her new home.

The five people bowed together to see each other off.

Shangguan Yi watched Li Yuanai's figure disappear and asked, "Do you brothers know what Zhou Rui meant to be so cold?"

Liu Rengui smiled slightly and didn't speak.

Lou Shide looked confused and looked like he didn't understand, and he pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger to the extreme.

Di Zhixun said subtly: "Your Highness is dedicated. As a subordinate, how can we guess randomly? I went to pack my luggage and saw you in half an hour."

Liu Rengui and Lou Shide also said goodbye one after another.

When Lu Zhaolin heard this, he wanted to ask, but then he held it in his stomach.

Shangguan Yi smiled awkwardly. He wanted to show off his skills before learning, but he did not get any response, so he had to go with him to find a house he liked.

Lu Zhaolin came up and asked quietly: "I don't think that the governor of Zhou is rude, why is the King of Wu like this?"

Li Yuanai's five aides are Shangguan Yi and Lu Zhaolin the youngest. They have a common topic in poetry and essays, and they have the closest relationship and have no scruples when speaking.

Shangguan Yi whispered: "When the palace is in Suzhou, what will Zhou Rui, as the governor of the prefecture, think in his heart? Will he be emotional?"

Lu Zhaolin hesitated: "Even if you have emotions, it is normal for human beings."

"That's true!" Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "Originally, he had the highest authority of the prefecture, and there were a few more people who could manage him at once. Anyone would be unhappy. Although the enthusiasm of the governor Zhou to welcome him today, what would be said behind him? Your Highness wants to govern Jiangnan, and Suzhou is the base camp. Any policy will be based on Suzhou and then scattered out. Therefore, His Highness needs complete control over Suzhou."

"As Brother Lu said, the governor Zhou had resentment in his heart, which was inevitable. Today, the King of Wu did not give the governor Zhou a good face. On the one hand, the governor Zhou arranged all the itineraries as the master. Since King Wu crossed the Yangtze River, there was only one master of the host of Jiangnan. The governor Zhou had a little idea of ​​testing His Highness. Secondly, he wanted to see if the governor Zhou knew how to advance and retreat, and whether he could look down on the current situation. If the governor Zhou endured it and put down his posture again, it meant that he had already understood the current situation. The King of Wu took everything in charge and was in the general trend, so he would naturally cooperate obediently in the future."

"If he is a ignorant person, then he will be the end of his life as the governor."

"Your Highness will arrange a trustworthy person to go up and replace the governor of Zhou."

Shangguan Yi said confidently.

Lu Zhaolin is very literary and elegant, and is undoubtedly agile. He is just aware of these things, but he has never been exposed to these things and does not understand the key points of each person. After listening to Shangguan Yi's analysis, he also realized it in his heart and bowed: "Thank you, Brother Shangguan, for your advice."

Shangguan Yi said: "It's okay, you and I have a close relationship. If you don't understand in the future, you can ask each other."

"Thank you Brother Shangguan!"

Looking at the somewhat simple yard, Li Yuanai felt a little ashamed and said, "I'll just feel sorry for my wife for a month. When we find a suitable place for our husband, we are moving out."

Xu Long suddenly stopped and said, "Husband, you don't need to be like this. I am not as delicate as you think. In fact, it's better to be lighter and simpler. You can also gain a reputation for being thrifty and thrifty."

Li Yuanai was a little embarrassed: "That's not good. The lady is thrifty. The hardship is the people below..."

Xu Long said in surprise: "Why is this?"

Li Yuanai said: "For your husband, let's tell a story that happened in person. A long time ago, for your husband, you didn't know the sufferings of the people and liked to eat chicken tongue soup. You are indispensable every day, and you only eat chicken tongues and eat less chicken. You will waste a lot of chicken every day. Later, as you grow older, you know that you should not waste extravagance, so you changed your habit. But this kind of good deed almost ruined others' lives."

Xu Long shouted out loud with a "ah".

Li Yuanai said: "Because I like to eat chicken tongue soup, I consume dozens of poultry every day. Nearly ten families have benefited from it. After I changed the problem of eating chicken tongue soup, the poultry raised by these ten families had nowhere to be exported, and they were reluctant to eat it, so they grew more and more, and in the end they could only sell it at a low price. The money I got was less than half of the original one and could not make a living."

Xu Long said dumbfoundedly: "How could this happen?"

Li Yuanai smiled and said, "That's the truth. Integrity cannot bring economic effects. Only consumption can drive the operation of the economy. For example, if I want to build the Suzhou Governor's Office, it requires thousands of people to use their labor, which means that thousands of people have the opportunity to earn money to support their families. Then they need tens of thousands of high-quality wood and dozens of tons of stone, and thousands of woodcutters, so the quarry benefited. This wood requires carpenters to process, stones and bluestone bricks, and hundreds of people also benefited from it."

"When these people benefit, they have money to spend and benefit more people. This forms a cycle, in which the beneficiaries are not just the people I call them."

Xu Long couldn't speak at all.

What Li Yuanai said is completely contrary to what she has been since elementary school, but we have to admit that what Li Yuanai said is very reasonable.

Li Yuanai said with great strength: "If I learn from Old Man Wei and save money. If we suffer, we are so tired that the people below will suffer together, why bother? Tongbao stores a pile of scrap copper, so it is better to spend it with big hands and feet. As long as the money comes with great openness and dignity, why not let it be used? I am happy and has also driven the economic development."

"So, Madam, everything cannot be just looking at the surface. Extraordinary is not necessarily a bad thing... Of course, there are also people with noble morals who use the coins they have saved to help the poor and give them medical treatment. For such people, they still admire them very much. But they think it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish."

Xu Long smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say it, I understand."

Li Yuanai smiled proudly and said, "That's right. Your husband doesn't steal or rob you. You can feel at ease with the money you have accumulated. Don't think about being frugal in the future. Just spend it, that's the reason."

After sending Xu Long to the room, Li Yuanai washed up briefly and went to the front hall to see Liu Rengui, Di Zhixun, Lou Shide, Shangguan Yi and Lu Zhaolin.

When they arrived at the front hall, the five people were already on standby in the front hall.

Li Yuanai went directly to the upper seat and said, "When you arrive in Suzhou, the shogunate of the King of Wu has been opened. Now, I will arrange a few appointments first!"

"Mr. Liu Rengui is the chief of the King of Wu's mansion!"

A hint of enthusiasm flashed in Liu Rengui's eyes.

Officials of the royal palace are the first in the chief history.

The chief of the King of Wu’s Mansion is the first person under Li Yuanai.

Li Yuanai continued: "Mr. Di Zhixun is the head of the royal palace!"

Di Zhixun accepted the order.

"Mr. Lou Shide is the military officer of the royal palace!"

Di Zhixun accepted it with some fear and fear.

Shangguan Yi's expression was a little sad.

The Chief Secretary, the Chief Secretary, and the Joining Army can be regarded as the Superior Officer, and his status is somewhat transcendent.

Thinking that there are all three assistants who are selected, I can’t help but feel regretful and lost.

Li Yuanai continued: "Shangguan Yi, you come to serve as the lord of the palace."

"Yes!" Shangguan Yi accepted the order.

Li Yuanai saw that Shangguan Yi’s mood was a little wrong, but he ignored it.

Shangguan Yi is extremely intelligent, and his potential is no worse than Liu Rengui and Lou Shide, and he is even better than Di Zhixun.

But he is so smart that he likes to be smart.

Li Yuanai was worried that he would serve as Chief Secretary, Chief of the State Council, and any position in the army.

As for Lu Zhaolin, Li Yuanai directly arranged for him to be his document.

Lu Zhaolin had no political experience foundation, and he was just a novice, so he helped him beat his deputy and worked as a part-time secretary.

If you have the talent for politics, you will be hired separately.

Lu Zhaolin placed his status very low and accepted it happily.

After arranging the personnel appointments, Li Yuanai began to issue an appointment: "Shangguan Yi, you are interested in the administration of officials. Gu attaches great importance to the administration of officials. The next focus of Gu is now Su, Hu, and Hangzhou, and the other thirteen states will inevitably be unaware of it. Whether you are aware of it or an undercover investigation, if you have a patrol to the east of Jiangnan, you can report it to me when you meet a cadre and a hero, of course, it is even more so when you meet an illegal official. Remember, there is no need to turn over old accounts too much. As long as it is not that kind of unforgivable past, there is no need to care about it. But from today on, if the same thing happens, I will never give up."

Like the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty adopted a system of high salaries to support integrity.

The annual salary of the lowest-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty was divided into rice, income from work, monthly salary, and labor. These combined with the coins of later generations were at least 140,000.

With an annual salary of 140,000 yuan and a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, I can already live a good life.

This is still the lowest-level official, and his income at the first level will double every night.

Anyway, Li Yuanai's current salary is about 1.5 million yuan, which does not include the additional income of Bashui Villa and the filial piety of Chang'an Gambling House.

It’s really unreasonable to have such income and go corruption.

Shangguan Yi happily accepted the order.

"Difucheng, you are the best at talking and making friends, so you will leave your contacts with officials and gentry. It is best to start with the four major families in Jiangnan. If the style of Confucius and Mencius in Jiangnan is not acceptable, this will never happen. The learning of Confucius and Mencius is the foundation of my China, and we must learn it. This promotion of culture and education requires them to work hard. They are the best to cooperate. If they do not cooperate, you can threaten it with my name. If they ignore it, then no matter whether his ancestors are Lu Xun or Gu Yong, do you really think they can be a local snake for the rest of their lives?"

If it were Cui Lu and Zheng, King Zheng, would still have to worry about it, Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang and other things.

Di Zhixun’s appearance is there, and it’s better to act as a diplomatic person.

He smiled slightly and said, "Get out of office and save it,"

"Lou joined the army, I'm leaving the soldiers to you. Where to start, please take care of it yourself. You are the first fire for my new official to take office. You must burn more vigorously and prevent the entire Jiangnan East Road from shaking. I'm sorry for the expectations of Gu for you."
