At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Zhuge Jin didn't want Zhuge Liang, who was working in the cabinet, to leave Luoyang and go to other places.

He is actively operating, making friends with Zhang Zhao, who is also from Xuzhou, and trying every means to get Zhang Zhao to arrange a Shangshutai position for Zhuge Liang.

He wanted Zhuge Liang to come out of the cabinet, formally join the central power hub, start to really participate in politics, accumulate experience for the future, and lay the foundation for the Zhuge family to flourish.

The cabinet is Guo Peng's secretarial department.

Although it holds the power called auditing, which has a certain deterrent effect on Shang Shutai, it is not a real office after all, and has no real power.

The cabinet is Guo Peng's answering voice, and of course, it also receives special protection.

But if you don't come out, if you don't hold power in the Shangshutai, you won't be really involved in imperial politics.

The cabinet is a knife in the hands of the emperor Guo Peng, a knife without self-consciousness, everything depends on the will of the emperor, which is not conducive to the promotion of status.

Only by being let out and entering Shangshutai can one truly improve one's status.

In the two huge political turmoil, the cabinet was involved, but in the end the damage was very small.

Only a total of three cabinet members lost their positions and were expelled from the capital. Most of them were quite safe.

The one who suffered the most was Cao Cao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who lost his title, lost a lot of food, and lost some benefits, but he was still the chief assistant of the cabinet and held power.

Zhuge Liang and his friends are safe and sound.

These friends from disadvantaged areas, such as Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian, are all favored by Zhuge Jin and want to be promoted.

Zhuge Jin and others are eager to find talents, and they are eager to let them work in Shangshutai and help them enter Shangshutai so that they can fight against people from Qing, Yan and Hebei.

But it seems that such an idea is not recognized by Zhuge Liang.

"Brother, if you can't really get in touch with the common people and see how the villages work, the officials won't be able to understand how the state of Wei works.

The huge state of Wei was formed by the accumulation of villages one by one, and the accumulation of people in the fields. This is something that all the warlords of the former Han Dynasty failed to do. I want to see it. "

Zhuge Liang asked Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin frowned.

"Ah Liang, you should know that the local conditions cannot be compared with those in Luoyang, let alone those low-level villages. There are no stone roads, not so many public toilets, and there is no incense. Only farming old farmer.

If this is not important, the promotion of Luoyang officials and the promotion of local officials are completely different. If local officials are that important, Lu Zijing should have been promoted as his brother when he was the governor of Pingzhou.

But my brother has not been promoted until now. This is the gap between the local government and the central government. When you enter the Shangshutai as an official, what you see and hear is not at the same level as what you see and hear at the local government. It is not necessary for you. "

Zhuge Liang's complexion did not change, and his thoughts remained unchanged.

"Brother, what I'm doing is Wei Guo, not just promotion. If I want to be promoted, how can I take the initiative to leave Luoyang? If I don't want to be promoted, how can I take the initiative to leave Luoyang?"

"What does it mean?"

Zhuge Jin was a little dazed, and didn't realize what his brother meant for a while.

"Brother, I certainly hope that I can be promoted and have more power to do more things, but I also know what that means, and I don't think I am ready for promotion now.

What I do as an official in Luoyang is for the local, but I don't know what the local is like. I want to go to the local, go to the lowest level, and really understand what the local is doing now. What has changed.

What are the good things and what are the bad things? Only when I really understand, can I know what I should do in Luoyang and how I should do it, instead of doing ridiculous things out of reality. "

Zhuge Liang explained patiently.

Zhuge Jin was silent for a while, pinching her beard.

"Ah Liang, I understand what you mean, but..."

Zhuge Jin still had some doubts.

"Brother, what His Majesty likes today are talents who can do practical things. His Majesty has been in the army and fought in the world, and he is well versed in the needs of the people. If you can't understand what the people really need, you can't understand what His Majesty is thinking. It’s hard to really gain a firm foothold in the court.”

Zhuge Liang continued to persuade Zhuge Jin.

But this statement made Zhuge Jin interested.

"That makes sense..."

"Naturally, brother, many of the people His Majesty employs are basically those who fought with His Majesty from the ranks at that time. They have all experienced low-level fighting and know the needs of the people.

So they know exactly what to do in their Luoyang, understand the king's heart, and do things that meet His Majesty's needs. If we don't understand, we will never be able to replace them. "

Zhuge Liang gave reasons that Zhuge Jin could neither ignore nor refuse.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhuge Jin stopped blocking Zhuge Liang.

"What my brother said won my heart deeply."

Zhuge Jin said so.

Then Zhuge Jin told Zhuge Liang that it was really not easy to find a position for Zhuge Liang in the central department, and Zhang Zhao didn't dare to guarantee it, but it would be too easy to say that it would be released.

There are local officials everywhere trying to get into the central government. I really haven’t seen a few central officials who want to go to the local government, and the central government’s local government is basically the emperor’s intention.

If Zhuge Liang wanted to go abroad, it was more than enough to be a county magistrate or something.

So Zhuge Jin found a free time to visit Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao was very curious when he learned of Zhuge Jin's purpose of coming.

"It's all local officials who want to come to Luoyang to be an official. Your brother is extraordinary, and he asked to be released?"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Nowadays it is not a good choice to go abroad, either in the south of the Yangtze River, or in the east of Liaodong, or in the northwest, there are newly occupied land everywhere, very bitter cold, and the conditions are very poor.

More importantly, there is a certain degree of danger. When the officials first arrive, they don't know whether the local people are willing to obey the central government, and how troublesome it is to open up, so very few people are willing to go.

I am worried that there are many county magistrate positions that are not filled, and many local official positions are not filled. Basically, those who are willing to go are those who come from the poor family of the Taixue. I am looking for people everywhere, which is very troublesome. "

Of course Zhuge Jin knew what it meant to be released during this period.

But Zhuge Liang had already convinced him.

Chapter 1010 One Thousand Twenty Twenty This Is Zhuge Liang

Zhuge Liang has always been very assertive and smart.

Zhuge Jin didn't think Zhuge Liang's reason was meaningless.

So he smiled wryly and said: "My younger brother has always had his own opinions in handling affairs, and my elder brother can't control him. Now that he insists on asking, I have no choice but to come to see the department hall and ask the department hall to help me a little bit."

"I don't need my help at all, but you are helping me."

Zhang Zhao shook his head and smiled wryly: "As long as he himself submits an application to the Ministry of Officials, explains the reason, and submits the report today, I can give him a reply tomorrow. As long as His Majesty does not object, he can prepare to leave Luoyang within ten days.

There are a lot of jobs like this now, and no one is willing to do it even if the benefits are increased. The distance is too far, the cold is too bitter, there are no roads in many places, and the population is even sparser. They go to suffer, it is difficult! "

Zhang Zhao is very dissatisfied with the idea that young officials are not willing to suffer.

Thinking of his own experience of rebuilding the dilapidated Kansai, and when he led a group of people to build Kansai from scratch, he felt that young people today were not strong enough.

If you only want to be an official in a prosperous place like Luoyang, but don't go deep into the grassroots and understand the basic structure of the Wei Empire, how can you truly understand the politics of the Wei Empire?

But this kind of thing can't be said clearly, and even if it is said clearly, people who don't want to understand just won't understand.

As a result, Zhuge Liang who took the initiative to ask for a release suddenly appeared, which made Zhang Zhao very pleased.

Zhuge Jin smiled helplessly.

"Shedi is so assertive. He wants to go to these places, but I can't help it."

"Then let him submit the application by himself, and I will submit the list to His Majesty for instructions. As long as His Majesty approves, your brother will be able to take office in ten days."

Zhang Zhao asked, "Where are you going to send your brother? Pingzhou? Jingzhou? Yangzhou? Yizhou? Or Liangzhou? I can arrange it according to my own circumstances. There is a shortage of county magistrates in these places."

"My brother said that Liaodong and Liangzhou are both engaged in heavy construction. He wants to go to these places where manpower is most needed, so that he can get the best training."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zhang Zhao nodded: "It's really rare for my younger brother to have such a heart for the country and the people. I will make proper arrangements for him. If he makes political achievements in the future, I will definitely be the first to transfer him back to Luoyang."

Zhuge Jin deeply thanked Zhang Zhao.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhao submitted the list of appointment and dismissal of a batch of officials that he had drawn up to the Hall of Qinzheng, and handed it over to Guo Peng for review.

He knew very well why he was sitting in this position, so he didn't dare to act arbitrarily.

Everything should be reported to Guo Peng before the conclusion is made, and it will be issued and executed after Guo Peng's permission, so as to gain Guo Peng's trust.

The power of personnel has never been within the scope of Guo's relaxation. He must firmly grasp the power of personnel and finance and never let go of it. He regards it as important as military power.

So even if he is very busy and it is related to human affairs, he will take the time to watch it.

He is very satisfied with Zhang Zhao's work attitude of knowing how much he has.

Guo is not dissatisfied with the newly promoted officials who have been selected to fill the central government. Instead, Guo pays more attention to the vacated local officials in remote areas.

It was too remote, and the conditions were difficult, so many people retreated, especially those children of scholars who had been well-clothed and well-fed since childhood, and even some poor families who came from wealthy and powerful families who had a lot of land were unwilling to go.

Not many people were willing to go, which made Guo Peng unhappy.

However, there are still people who are willing to go, so Guo Peng focuses on the names of those who are willing to serve as officials in remote areas, and write them down. If they make achievements in the future, they will be promoted first.

Then, in this playlist, he saw a name that surprised him a bit.

Zhuge Liang.

Or take the initiative to ask for release.

interesting.

After thinking about it, Guo Peng asked someone to call Zhuge Liang to the study of Qinzheng Hall.

Seeing the tall and handsome Zhuge Liang standing in front of him, Guo Peng smiled.

"Kong Ming, I heard that you asked yourself to go to Liangzhou?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm asking you to let me go out, I hope to go to a local government to accumulate administrative experience."

Zhuge Liang replied.

"What's the reason? Is Luoyang not good? Liangzhou is not only remote, but also bitterly cold. The conditions are not as good as Luoyang, and food and clothing are very difficult."

Guo Peng looked at Zhuge Liang with a look of consideration for him.

"No, Your Majesty, it's not that Luoyang is bad, but because Luoyang is so good, it will make me think that the whole world is as perfect as Luoyang, but I know that's not the case."

Zhuge Liang said: "There are still people living in poverty in the world, and there are still people living in places where transportation is inconvenient. Not every city has paved stone roads like Luoyang City, and not every city has as many public toilets as Luoyang City. .

I know very well that if I stay in Luoyang forever as an official, it will be very comfortable for me. It will be very convenient for me to be favored by His Majesty, be promoted, or prosper my family.

But Your Majesty, this is not what I am looking for. I hope that I can really go deep into the people, experience the suffering of the people, know what they really need, and then return to Luoyang to do those things. "

"This is your answer?"

Guo Peng stood up and walked in front of Zhuge Liang.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope that what I do is for the people of the world. I hope that I know what I want to do in Luoyang City, so as to make Wei State stronger and more stable. put."

Zhuge Liang knelt on the ground and asked Guo Peng to let him go.

Guo Peng lowered his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

He didn't expect that the reason for Zhuge Liang's request to be released was this.

He felt that Zhuge Liang's request to be released may be because he was smart. He saw that the imperial court's rectification struggle was so fierce, so he thought of sending him out to avoid disaster, and came back when the situation became clear.

He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang's reason for wanting to go out was to understand the basic structure of the Wei Empire.

He wanted to know what the basic structure of the Wei Empire was like, how government orders were communicated and implemented, and how they benefited the people.

Zhuge Liang, who has been working in the cabinet since he became an official, has no experience as a chief administrative officer at the grassroots level.

When I went to Jiangdong on a business trip, I went to work as an intern official.

But obviously, Zhuge Liang was not satisfied with this.

He craves more.

This is Zhuge Liang.

With the power of a mere state in Yizhou, he can take the initiative to launch five strategic attacks against Cao Wei, and even posed a huge threat to Cao Wei twice, forcing Cao Wei to use several times the military strength of Zhuge Liang to fight against him.

It is still possible to gain the strategic initiative by using an absolutely weak national power against an absolutely powerful big country.

This kind of thing can only prove that the Shu Han system created by Zhuge Liang has an advantage over Cao Wei in terms of mobilization, and it proves that Zhuge Liang's genius in governing the country is extremely shocking.

It can also prove that Zhuge Liang is ten times as talented as Cao Rui.
