The happy life of the devil and the devil

Until Yu Jia returned to the capital, Yuan Shao still didn't understand how to realize his wish.

Ask yourself, it’s not like he doesn’t understand how to win people’s hearts. There are a lot of examples in the history books, about how to win over courtiers, and how to please the harem concubines—by the way, the latter are all harmful to the country and the dynasty. counterargument.The former...the former doesn't seem to have anything to do with how to get people to work...

In fact, this is not the key - whoever tells him how Ling Yucheng reacts can be regarded as truly willing!

Even if you simply say you don't want to!It's better than not resisting at all, he can do whatever he wants!

Sometimes it's not a good thing to have too much self-control.There are also those who can hide themselves too much. This habit is a good thing when leading the army and governing the government. The so-called Mount Tai collapses before it does not change its color, but it still has to be like this when getting along in private, which makes people laugh and cry.

After thinking about it, I couldn't find the direction at all.For a long time, only the concubine of Liugong tried her best to flatter and compete for favor with him. As for who did he fancy?Before enthroning, please ask your father to issue an edict, and after enthroning, you will issue an edict yourself, and the edict will be brought into the palace and it will be over.Who would spend this kind of thought on the person next to the pillow, thinking that there is not enough time?

There are also those who I met when I traveled around the world when I was young, whether it is the so-called oiran in the brothel in the capital who is not selling herself, or the popular young lady in the Nanfeng Pavilion in Yuyang, there is a trick of rejecting what he likes and welcoming it-- But people refused to welcome it, not because they really didn't want to!

It's really... oh.

For the first time, His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been smooth sailing and has everything he wants, is deeply entangled.

It doesn't matter.When Yuan Shao was helpless, he could only comfort himself in this way. Anyway, people are already by his side, and he will not be able to escape for 100 years. Instead it screwed up.

Standing up halfway from the pillow, Yuan Shao stared at Ling Yucheng's peaceful sleeping profile in the light of the faint morning light, and sighed secretly.This guy slept soundly, and he didn't feel that there was someone tossing and turning beside him, wanting to pull him into his arms like this... It's really reassuring...

After talking with Yang Qiu that time, he sat alone in the outer room for a long time before lifting the curtain to enter.Entering the inner room, Ling Yucheng curled up under the quilt with his back facing him, breathing evenly and long, and fell asleep peacefully.

...Is this trying to pretend nothing happened?

Yuan Shao endured it with a smile for a long time, and finally decided to pretend that he didn't know anything.Sure enough, Ling Yucheng was really uncomfortable for a while, and his eyes were a little evasive.After a few days, I saw that he didn't mention it at all, so I relaxed again, and slept next to him every day without knowing anything.Occasionally, in his sleep, he could still rub back little by little like a chrysalis wrapped in a cocoon, and he would not stop until he leaned against him.

That, like now.

The sleeping person moved back a bit, and then moved a bit, probably feeling uncomfortable with the empty space behind him, frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to grab a handful.He breathed a sigh of relief when the back of his hand touched the human body, and continued to move back in a daze with his eyes closed.

In other words, how did you practice the magical skill of maintaining the standard posture of "lying like a bow" in sleep and still rubbing back a little bit?Yuan Shao struggled a lot, and finally decided not to hug Bai, and quickly slid back to the bottom of the quilt, turning sideways to wrap around Ling Yucheng's waist.Sure enough, as soon as he was hugged, the person quieted down, his cheeks rubbed against the corner of the quilt, his breath calmed down again, and he seemed to be sinking into a good dream again.

Sigh... When will Ling Yucheng be willing to be hugged like this when he is awake?After sharing the same bed day after day, I don't know when I can't help it...

Sighing to himself, Yuan Shao seized the only time left in the morning to get back to the cage and closed his eyes.Shen Shen's last thought before falling asleep was: You must wake up before Ling Yucheng and let him lie down, otherwise... it would be bad if there were some embarrassing reactions for everyone...

His Majesty's little troubles that were unknown to the public disappeared before the moment he went to court.

In fact, as an emperor, Yuan Shao spent most of his time on government affairs.Especially this year, to be precise, since the turn of autumn and winter last year, with the use of prisoners of war and the gradual payment of Yu Xia's indemnity, the construction of roads and water conservancy facilities in various places has been vigorously carried out. Supervisor, at any rate, you have to know whether the money was spent on ideas.

I usually don't think that once the projects are rolled out in various places, the manpower of the Ministry of Industry is suddenly tense.Building things can’t be done behind closed doors. Where ditches need to be dug deep, where roads need to be widened and reinforced, which section needs how many hands and tools, and where to mix stones and bricks... It seems that these are all trivial things. If there are no professional talents to go down and follow them, it is really half the effort.From the top to the bottom of the Ministry of Industry, there are only a hundred and ten people who have been supported by officials and officials. It is too late to check the budget list with the Ministry of Households every day, and it is too late to ask for payment.

"Your Majesty—it's not that I'm not dedicated, and I don't have anyone in my hands—"

When planning last winter, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry almost grabbed Yuan Shao's sleeve and used it as a face scarf.Yuan Shao also had a headache. It is said that he had held the imperial examinations many times, and he could also catch a handful of scholars and eunuchs, but it is not easy to find such a group of people now-where can I find such a group of people who understand? Building bridges, repairing roads, digging earthworks, being able to plan and command and dispatch projects independently, but also to be able to read and write, and those who can keep accounts and make calculations are scattered everywhere!

Count on magistrates?Do not make jokes……

This manpower must be in place quickly. The Ministry of Industry has been called the Winter Official since ancient times. It means that regardless of roads, city walls, bridges and water conservancy, they have to work during the slack time in winter.If you don't start work quickly at the turn of autumn and winter, where will you transfer the peasants when the farming season starts next year?

When Yuan Shao had a headache so much that he vomited blood, he quietly handed over a list next to him.

"Your Majesty, there are a few people here who have dug trenches, built barracks, and can write and plan. I wonder if Your Majesty will need them?"

A stack of densely written papers was handed over to him, and then quickly shrank back. The person holding the list smiled and looked at him sideways:

"It's just that your majesty, they are all members of Xuanjiawei. If your majesty wants to use it, at least give an explanation..."

Yuan Shao looked at the list carefully, and his eyes lit up.When Ling Yucheng employed people, he always wanted to dismantle a person into eight pieces. It is best for everyone to mount a horse to charge, dismount to cut people, hold a pen to write, and hold an abacus to settle accounts—in Ling Yucheng’s words, "You can't be a soldier and fight for a lifetime. If someone teaches you here, you can learn a few more crafts, and you will have a bowl of food when you get older." The officers followed him to learn the art of war, how to command, and how to employ people. , I was tossed to death by these writing counts every day, and even blacksmithing, carpentry, kitchen work and other crafts.

There were not many people in the list handed over to his desk, and half of them were injured and disabled, unfit to continue fighting.However, everyone can write and count, and everyone has a skill. Although the position is not high, he also directed Baier No. 80 people when he was in Yu Xia. As for the ability to plan projects, since Ling Yucheng is willing to hand over the list , should be no worse.

It was really timely rain... However, how this rain falls depends on whether the person in charge of the rain is happy or not...

"How do you think I will use them?"

"First of all, I won't let them leave Xuanjiawei;" Ling Yucheng smiled, resting his head on one hand and raising the other hand in front of his face, flexing his fingers one by one: "Secondly, your majesty employs people, so you can't ask me to pay your salary, right?" ? Again, if you want to work in their positions, if your majesty wants them to work, you must give them a suitable status..."

I understand, it means that the person is considered a temporary loan, not that he has returned to the Ministry of Industry or some other department since then; the salary is paid, and the official position must be returned. The first step to take off the military robe and enter the official system.How can these guys let Ling Yucheng plan their future for them like this?

"Well, I believe you are..."

This happened before the end of last year, when Ling Yucheng had just recovered, and then these people were handed over to the Ministry of Industry, and assigned to various projects to help the principals.Once Zhengdan was over, Yuan Shao took Ling Yucheng to the north, and the one who stayed in the capital to worry about the progress of the project was naturally the prince who had been ordered to supervise the country several times.

But now, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it is time to test the achievements of these people.

The Queen asked His Majesty to ask for an official position for his subordinates. Although the officials felt that it was illegal, they could only hold their noses and admit it.Fortunately, all they want are small officials of the eighth or ninth grade. Even if dozens of such official positions are distributed wholesale, they don't feel bad.As for the queen's subordinates who are of this level, there are thousands of children, and they may be stuffed with them in the future... This, the minister of the official department said, don't overthink things that haven't happened, let alone the queen's own fief Why don't you use people?

As for the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry personally held a thick stack of official letters, and was a little reluctant when he went to the leader of the Xuanjia Guard Army Mansion.This is the Ministry of Industry, not a shelter for veterans, let alone a sanatorium for the disabled!What are you doing with a bunch of people with missing arms and broken legs? You also said that they are only on loan temporarily, so don't send them if you can't bear it!

These complaints dissipated completely within a few days.When Yuan Shao came back from his northern tour, when the Minister of the Ministry of Industry came to answer him, he mentioned the dozens of people who were seconded by Xuanjiawei, and he was full of praise:

"As expected of a person who was taught by an adult. He is good at literature and martial arts. He can write and settle accounts. He can take care of everything. One person can turn hundreds of people around, and five hundred people are in their hands. It can be used by 800 people, save time and money, and will not cause public resentment..."

Just like that man with a broken leg named Yu Qing, when he went down to a certain construction site in Gyeonggi with a cane, no one looked at him at all.That man also made a lot of money, and he didn’t send his husband at all. He limped on the rugged field ridge, looking here and chatting there. When I found the official in charge of the project from the Ministry of Industry, I threw a piece of paper over.

"For a ditch three feet wide and two feet deep, a farmer can dig three feet a day; the soil dug out has to be packed into twenty baskets, and a farmer can pick two baskets at a time, and it takes a moment to go from the construction site to the place where the soil is piled up and back It takes two and a half hours to finish picking; an experienced plasterer can build a [-]-foot ditch a day, but the stone bricks used have to be transported from a quarry fifty miles away..."

At the very beginning is a simple map, starting from the second page, densely recorded the work that each type of work can do in a day, the daily supply of materials, and the number of professional types of workers.At the end, based on the data collected earlier, it lists how many people are required to dig soil, how many people are required to transport soil, how many people are required to build ditches to deliver stones, and even stipulate different routes for materials to be sent in and out. The construction period was shortened from 35 days to [-] days.

"Otherwise?" After staying up for two whole nights, the bloodshot and bearded veteran with a broken leg squinted his eyes and looked at the speechless official of the Ministry of Industry, "The camp that can be erected in two hours must be dragged to three At Shichen, if one hundred brothers can work, there must be 200? Who will resist the enemy? Or tell the enemy that you come back later, let us set up the camp and take a breath before fighting?"

The little official who was thrown on the construction site almost knelt down for Yu Qing.God is pitiful, labor is not for nothing these days, and the corvee is only a few dozen days a year, and even if it exceeds one day, the government has to spend money to hire people.Besides, can you use the conscripted labor for nothing?What about eating?What about the shack?Catch up with the twelfth lunar month of winter and dig ditches, and each person has to pay half a liter of wine a day. Is this not money?

Yu Qing became famous in this battle.Two days later, he was rushed to another construction site by a commissioner sent by the Ministry of Industry. If the man who had broken his left leg below the knee insisted on riding a horse, someone might drive him in person.And when his fellow robes also stood their ground in their own ways, the "Xuanjiawei people" as a whole, at least in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, became the sweet pastry that everyone sought after—who doesn't want short construction periods and low wages? Province, how good is the performance appraisal at the end of the year?

Ling Yucheng didn't have many people who came to be officials. After all, in his opinion, Qingzhou was in a state of waiting to be rebuilt, and there was a need for manpower everywhere. There were not enough people on hand.Two or thirty people can be allocated, one is because of Yuan Shao's face, and the other is that he wants to open a hole here so that his subordinates can start to integrate into the official system of Beiliang.I brought them here from thousands of miles because I wanted them to get promoted and get rich, and honor their ancestors, not because they had fought hard for several years, retired from the army when they were old and disabled, and lived bitterly with the dozens of acres of land they earned from their military exploits. For the rest of my life...

Sitting in Yuan Shao's study, listening to the minister of the Ministry of Industry's praise in front of the emperor, Ling Yucheng was in a trance for some reason.Did you just send people out like this... More people will come out of him in the future, and when these people go farther and higher, I can still protect them and let them continue to return to their hearts Under his command?

"My lord, these people... can they stay in the Ministry of Industry? There is a shortage of people here..." It would be better if I could give a few more... Xuanjiawei's new recruits are not counted. Xia brought 8000 people...

His thoughts were abruptly interrupted, Ling Yucheng suddenly recovered his senses and looked up, only to see Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry rubbing his hands back and forth, staring at him without blinking, his wrinkled old face smiling as if blooming.If it can be done, Ling Yucheng swears, then the old man will definitely grow a hand from his eye, snatch all the people under his command and leave without leaving half of them to him.

The people who have been released from the official position are there for you to use, but if you let go so easily, it will make people think that the people under me are not precious...

Refusing to answer his words, Ling Yucheng turned his face sideways to stare at Yuan Shao, with slanted eyes and a slight smile on his lips:

"Your Majesty, the person who lent you last winter, can you return it to me now? It's spring, and Qingzhou is waiting everywhere..."

"Hey, I'm also short of people here. It would be a pity to go back to the official position. Besides, I didn't withhold their salaries, did I?"

... Please respect yourself if you show affection!Don't flirt in front of your courtiers!

The author has something to say: Your Majesty's skills in chasing wives are really...

Never ordered it, this skill tree is simply gray!
