Chapter 240 Fan Waihong and Miss Zhuo 2
Baihong imitated the elder brother, sitting on the roof, looking at the 70-year-old man who is still in good spirits, feeling extremely entangled.
[Zhuo Donglai, when will you die!We are in a hurry to hire people here! ]
[The top officials are all former prime ministers, no problem.The lowest-level officials are barely enough, but there are no middle-level officials! ]
[Our Longevity Hill still doesn’t have enough accumulation. Not many people who snatch it are educated and able to read and write. The gods who have just become small officials stand on top, and the group of deadly thieves dare to accept bribes and bully the market. ]
[Our manpower from the county magistrate to the magistrate is all vacant!The gods are knowledgeable enough, but they don't want to be officials, and the monsters are willing to be officials, but they can't.The underworld supported some manpower, but it was barely usable. ]
[Although the vacant positions are barely filled by some people, the good and the bad are mixed. We need to send people to supervise and check illegal things. ]
[So, Zhuo Donglai, when will you die!Your wife is waiting for you!Seriously, just with your seven or eight beautiful maids, it seems that you have forgotten about that fat paper.right? ]
Baihong comes every year to see when the person he likes the most will die. This guy looks like he can live another 20 years. The emperor is about to collapse. The prince's confidant.
His son is very ordinary, and he has become a parent official.
Speaking of which, Miss Zhuo Er is also a very good talent, her son is not as good as her, but her scheming is not weaker than Zhuo Donglai.
Listen to the conversation in the room: "Liu Zhongyi gave the prince 1 taels of gold. The prince didn't tell the emperor about it. Father, what do you want to say?"
"Ok?"
"Liu Zhongyi is a businessman in Shandong. He discovered a gold mine while digging in the mountains, and he deceived himself to refine the gold mine. He came to Beijing to clear the way, in order to continue to monopolize the gold mine."
"What do you think?"
Zhuo Wenyi said: "Father, I think we should tell the Holy One half of the matter, and tell His Highness the Crown Prince in advance."
The young man's voice: "Grandfather, I think we should give all this information to the crown prince. After all, the Holy Majesty is old and has not asked about political affairs for a long time." grandfather.
Zhuo Donglai was silent for a moment: "Wenyi, you have to continue teaching him. Do as you say."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The mother and son left the study, whispering something, Baihong jumped down and followed them, listening to what they said.
Zhuo Wenyi's tone was cold as if she was talking to a subordinate: "No matter how old the sage is, he is still the sage, regardless of political affairs, he is also the sage, and the crown prince will be the sage in the future. How loyal you are to the old emperor now, you will be loyal to him and his prince in the future. would think so."
The young man lowered his head: "Will he think so far? The Holy One only has this son."
Zhuo Wenyi said coldly: "My father is the only one who can inherit the family business, but if a subordinate only passes the news to me, he will go back to Xinjiang to herd sheep in three days."
"Hmm... yes." Yes, I thought it was too simple.
Zhuo Wenyi's tone softened a little: "Young people do have their own opinions, but when you look at things from a young perspective, you can't care about the old people's thoughts. The Holy One is still alive, so we have to take his feelings into account. If he is gone, we still have to be loyal ministers. The relationship between the crown prince and the Holy Majesty is very good, and he doesn't want to see his father's old ministers eager to change his family."
"What mother said is true." The old man looked at the problem from a strange angle.
"For thugs, the officials and subordinates who are used do not need to be strict with virtue. Rules will restrain them and laws will punish them. Just keep a close eye on them. But when the emperor employs people, he must examine the conduct of his officials. The courtiers are his eyes and ears, if the eyes and ears are bad, the consequences will be unimaginable. Just like your cronies and caring people around you, you don't guard against them."
"Mother, are you defending the people around you?"
Zhuo Wenyi smiled for the first time and rubbed his hair: "Except for father and you, and your father, everyone else must be on guard. If what you tell me is someone else told you, I will also investigate , You will not lie to me, but you may be deceived, maybe that person did not intend to deceive you, but he was deceived."
The young man smiled shyly, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that grandma (who is careless and has a bad temper, donates money, has good friends all over the world, and is easy to be deceived)...does grandfather trust her?"
Zhuo Wenyi restrained her smile, and said lightly, "Maybe."
"Mother, those beautiful maids around my grandfather are often rotated. Where did the replaced ones go? Have they been..." And not slept?I am very concerned about this issue!
"Young man is lustful, hum." Zhuo Wenyi said: "The subordinates who come and go in our house are mostly bachelors. Son, the father prepared the dowry and married the girl to him. There are many such examples in the history books, and it is a good way to buy people's hearts. As for whether to sleep... Of course not. Talents marry the woman they have admired for a long time. I thought She is the concubine of a high-ranking official, she is very happy to be able to marry her, but she is still a virgin in the end, and she will be more grateful to Dade."
The young man licked his lips in disappointment, that's it, no wonder I didn't respond when I seduced them, I thought it was because my grandfather's surveillance was too strict, it turned out that they were all waiting to get married and become good ladies.When can I get married? I want a woman.
Bai Hongxin said, this woman is very interesting.It's gloomy and interesting. It's not pretty, but it's very flavorful.
After he went back, he went around the Hall of Qinzheng. Due to insufficient manpower, all the officials from the six ministries were sent out to serve as "big border officials". Only one person was left in each department. Landlord, a look of "rule the world by hanging down".
Baihong went to look for the fat man, took a deep breath, and the smell of barbecue wafted in the wind.Following the smell, Daiyu, Yao Yunqi, Bilu, and Zishu grilled skewers together, and Wen Zelan next to him made fresh garlic paste in a garlic crock.From time to time, Yao Yunqi picked up a few peppercorns and crushed them with his fingers, and sprinkled them on the meat skewers in the flames with a fresh and rich aroma.
Daiyu took off the hairpin and ring jewellery, hung the brocade on the hanger, rolled up her sleeves to reveal Bai Shengsheng's arms, turned over a few meat skewers curiously, and whispered to Yao Yunqi from time to time, "Are you ready? So choking, so fragrant."
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't rush to roast slowly, if you are hungry, eat my roast first, and give me your roast."
When Baihong came to the top of the princess mansion, he almost rushed into the barbecue smoke billowing into the sky, and quickly pressed the cloud head down.Seeing a few people talking and laughing while grilling skewers and drinking, I was a little puzzled: "Yunqi's Baoguang is barbecue, why do you still want to barbecue?"
Yao Yunqi: "Second senior brother, Baoguang is just an illusion, it is better to be real."
Bilu: "Yes~the taste is slightly different~"
Daiyu: "Baoguang is not hot enough, the barbecue must be hot with fireworks to taste!"
Article [-]: "Second Great King~ The taste of Baoguang can't be changed, there are several kinds of barbecue ingredients~"
Baihong frowned slightly, expressing despair at these people who have no Daoism and clean spirit, but he was used to it, and asked again: "Then what are you wearing on your head?" Pink, pink rabbit ears?
Bi Lu and Wen Zelan, one is a bad boy with tawny and red natural hair, and the other is a fat black guy with colorful hair dyed to look even stupider, with bunny ears sewn with pink and white soft cloth.
Accompanied by the rustling sound, a snake crawled out from behind the bushes. It also wore a rabbit ear on its head. It was tailored according to his body shape, which was kind of weird and cute.Baihong's heart is broken.
Several people laughed, a little embarrassed.
Yao Yunqi cocked his legs and could almost see his upturned tail. He said triumphantly, "We play cards with six people, and the loser wears rabbit ears~hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha fun~"
Baihong's face was covered with frost, revealing the true color of the iceberg man, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were darkened: "Forget it. Wen Zelan, come with me."
Wen Si dropped the garlic jar and followed.
Baihong was a little hesitant, how should I say this, I can't say that I need a Jinyiwei here, I need a high-level spy agency, I need a spy chief, you go and ask your husband to die quickly and work for me.Even if such words are said by a god, there is a feeling of being struck by lightning: "Have you seen it at home?"
"I went back to see it once in the past two years." Here, the seasons are like spring, and I am very happy, which made my concept of time a little confused.Wen Si thought silently, how long has passed now?
Baihong's face became more serious: "Go back and have a look, and tell your husband about the current situation, so that he doesn't have to worry. Well, and tell him,,, the grandeur of Zhuangguo."
Wen Si looked confused. To be honest, the total population of Zhuang Kingdom is about the same as that of the capital. Tell me how grand it is!But, you are awesome and you are right!She said obediently: "Okay, Your Majesty. I will tell you the truth."
Baihong felt that she didn't mean what she said, but this is also a common problem of ordinary people, so it's nothing.
Once I heard the roar of the golden-winged roc floating in the distance. This guy is Japanese every day except for food, which is really annoying.
These two shameless stinky birds don't use a restraint for the house, but fortunately the distance is far enough that the juniors and juniors with low cultivation can't hear them.
Wen Si went back and finished eating the skewers, packed his bags, and re-read the "Instructions for Contacting Ghosts and Mortals".Then I dropped my luggage and went out lightly, why pack my luggage when I can’t take anything with me!
Floating all the way over the mountains, over the water, over the great rivers, and when I got to the Taklamakan Desert, I got lost.
After being lost for three days, he lay limply on the sand: "Hold the grass, I won't be trapped here forever, right? Daiyu, come and help me!"
Before anyone came back to report the situation, King Baihong counted his fingers in displeasure, and was actually amused that you, a woman who traveled all over the world, lost her way!Do you mind?He left Zhuangguo silently, found the ghost who had picked up a hole in the desert and was lying comfortably in it, and flew to the capital with his collar in his hand, and threw him into Zhuo Donglai's room.
Zhuo Donglai almost fulfilled Baihong's wish - died.
Even a person who has always been calm, indifferent and gloomy will be frightened to have a heart attack when his wife who has been dead for several years suddenly appears in the house.Keenly grabbed a medicine and threw it into his mouth.
Wen Zelan, who got up from the ground, supported him in a daze, and hugged him to the chair with his armpit.He took two steps back and took a closer look. His silver hair was uncluttered. Although the hairline had receded a bit sadly, he was wearing clean and tidy old clothes, sitting on the throne, and his aura was even stronger than when he was young. Deep and scary.
Oh oh oh actually I'm shaking M, right?Fourth Sister Wen rubbed her heart (chest) and praised him with a rippling face: "Brother Zhuo, I didn't expect you to be so handsome when you became an old man! To be honest, you are more handsome than when you were young, but your physical strength is not enough, right? Oh, ah! , I lost two of my teeth. Look at my little white teeth~" Baring my teeth~
Brother Zhuo was almost pissed off again, so he forced himself to calm down: "Ze Lan, are you a ghost now? Why did you come back suddenly?"
Wen Zelan walked over to sit on his lap with a smile, it was really light and light, although it felt hot to the touch, but the body was not heavy: "I heard that there are many beautiful maids by your side, I'll come back and have a look."
The four beautiful maids serving as background boards were about to pee out of fear, they died young, they saw a ghost in the daytime, the ghost sat on the master's lap, pinched his chin and kissed him.Even ghosts will be dragged out and beaten to death, okay?
"Heh, you, seeing that you are so happy to miss home, is it because the merits of the paper money I burned for you have been used by you to go shopping in the underworld?"
"Hehehehe, I didn't go to such a expensive place, but I'm with Yao Yunqi and I'm working as Daiyu's cook."
"Is it just the cook?"
"Actually, he is a very good manager of the imperial dining room. I saw Brother Monkey hahahaha~"
Baihong crouched on the roof watching the kicked out little maids huddling together and chattering, listening to the shameless flirting in the room, and the stupid fat man's delay in getting to the point.Then I heard the voices of the mother and son walking in the path.
"You are too courteous and corporal."
"Mother, he is a very talented and ambitious man. Am I doing something wrong?"
"You can't be so polite to newcomers. Let them have a sense of awe and know the importance of power and rank, so that they can hold back their strength and climb up. They should be more polite to those who do well, and those who do not do well. Rebuke, hit a stick and give a sweet date, understand? In this way, they will work hard for face and reward, and when gaining your approval becomes a habit, and you cannot be deceived, they will become loyal."
Recently, Baihong has been thinking about how to keep middle and lower-level officials loyal, instead of being jealous of corruption. After hearing this, he couldn't help shouting: "Well said!"
Zhuo Wenyi put her hand on the knife at her waist, pulled her son behind her, her face sinking like water: "Who are you?" He suddenly appeared on the roof of my father's house without him noticing?Good job.
Baihong walked down step by step on the invisible steps in the air, and said simply and concisely: "Immortal."
Zhuo Wenyi glanced at him gloomyly and coldly, and almost ignoring him, rushed to the door, opened the door cautiously, and saw that his father was talking and laughing with a fat woman in his arms, but he was not dead.
My father's taste is always so different, he doesn't like willows with slender waists, he likes thick backs, is it the same for the substitute he's looking for?
Then the woman turned her head and gave her a shock. This was the first time her son heard his mother scream: "Mom!"
After the brief confusion, Wenzelan continued to appear to be sitting, but was actually floating on his lap.
The famous Zhuo Wenyi regained her composure and rationality after a short period of sluggishness, and went to the house to talk with the gods.
It's not that there have never been gods at home, Princess Xuanzhen is a god, Yao Zhenren is also a god, I just didn't think of it for the time being.
Baihong sat on the grand teacher's chair, and four young and charming maidservants offered tea, fruit, and snacks respectively, and knelt down to adjust the position of his feet. A temperamental beauty in her thirties stood respectfully in front of him, although her complexion was gloomy, she smiled softly: "Excuse me, I don't know how to call the immortal."
[This is the life I want! ]
Baihong was a little uncomfortable with this treatment. Although the maids at home were respectful and careful, they didn't have such insight. The people they saw every day were either rebellious brats, courtiers who were proud of their talents, or trembling with care. Stupid - the way this woman stands, her tone of voice and attitude are very comfortable. "sit."
Zhuo Wenyi is taking over her father's property, and she can do this because she, like Zhuo Donglai, has a pair of extremely keen eyes, and can see through a person's temperament, preferences, and likes and dislikes in just a few moments.
She smiled and thanked him for sitting down, sat down generously, suppressed her smile and waited quietly for him to sort out what he wanted to say.
Baihong said: "My Taoist name is Baihong, and your mother works under my command."
Zhuo Wenyi said: "Xuantang's temperament is careless and wild, and he is under the care of Baihong Shangxian."
Bai Hongxin said: Although I have never cared about her, but this is really comfortable to hear. Yao Yunqi has lived in the mortal world for so long, so why didn't he learn it. "It's okay. I just heard you talk about some techniques of imperial servants. It's very interesting. Let's talk about it."
Don't laugh at me, I can't even manage more than 40 stupid juniors, let alone those stupid and greedy mortals.Eldest brother is very optimistic about me, I really have no face to say that I can't do it.
Zhuo Wenyi didn't laugh at all, and didn't inquire about any background stories, but just told out all the techniques of imperial control that she knew.
Baihong asked the small problems in governing the country: "There are many troublesome people in poor mountains and rivers, and they are greedy and not afraid of death. What should I do?" Because there are not many people, the ministers don't bother to care about them, but I feel nervous.
Zhuo Wenyi threw out eight solutions in a row, and took the opportunity to test his Earth Immortal. From the upright method to the vicious method, Baihong began to frown at the seventh solution——Okay~
The two discussed from the poor mountains and bad waters that there are many troublesome people, why there are many troublesome people in poor mountains and bad waters, and then discussed how to change the folk customs of a region, and then how to make lazy, small and peaceful civilians work hard to create wealth for us.
After that, he talked all the way about how to let people supervise and betray each other without causing confusion, so that the emperor can grasp all the facts.
After hearing about Zhuangguo's social background, Miss Zhuo Er tried her best to understand this incredible world, and said hesitantly: "I'm not sure. People's behavior can be inferred from the established social environment that I understand, and I probably know about it." The circumstances in which some people live. Different circumstances make different people."
Baihong's eyes flashed with excitement: "Really? I have a friend who has some human cubs and elf cubs. He picked them up to the mountain and taught them carefully when they were young, but Zhang Dacheng didn't obey him after he became immortal. Why is that? ?”
Zhuo Wenyi smiled slightly: "Why do you have to be obedient? What are the benefits?"
"what?"
"People are such things that you don't necessarily do things that are beneficial, let alone things that are not beneficial. Children are filial to their parents for the sake of their parents' property, for their own reputation, and to set an example for their children. When you are young, your children can be equally filial. Those who are courtiers want to be rich and honor their ancestors, and those who have achieved fame are for the sake of future generations. Your friend's junior is spoiled."
Baihong didn't want to hear this answer, and said depressedly: "If you don't obey, you will be beaten, and you will be beaten and cried."
Zhuo Wenyi pursed her lips and laughed: "But the joy of breaking the rules is far better than the pain of being beaten."
Baihong was puzzled: "Really?"
"Oh, really."
Baihong said: "Impossible."
"For some people, it does."
Baihong took out the rules he made very unhappy again: "I made a perfect rule, but they will always violate the law."
Miss Zhuo Er flipped through the code, and she had a better understanding of the state structure of the Zhuang Kingdom: "The benefits of obeying the law are long-term, but short-sighted mortals can't see them, they can only see the petty profits of corruption, bribery and fraud in front of them."
Baihong chatted happily, and after returning home, he thought to himself, is it really fun to do something that violates the rules?
The author has something to say: Wen Zelan is still the cutest!
The second girl Zhuo is about to succeed in her tricks.
There are only two things in Dapeng's married life: meat, and meat.
Since I can't drive, it's meaningless to simply report the name of the dish, so I won't write it.
