Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

Lin Hai, whose character is like Hai, was originally from Suzhou. He was born in the family of Shilu, a scholarly family, and was born in Wenju Tanhua. Life is like walking on thin ice.And this Lord Lin Ruhai is still the uncle of Lin Jun, the donor, in terms of blood.

The Lin family is not an aristocratic family. Although it has been inherited for more than a hundred years before the Jing Dynasty, it has always been the door of farming and reading. The family has some land, and the descendants have read a few books and can write some poems and articles, but they have not produced anything. Officials.When Emperor Gao launched an incident, the Lin family saw the right time and also participated in it, donating money and materials along the way, making suggestions, and accumulating meritorious service when the Dajing was founded.Logically speaking, the Lin family can be regarded as honorable, and should have a title, but unfortunately not.Back then, Lin Ruhai's grandfather did a good job, which directly dragged down future generations.At most, other people's families are idle and have nothing to do to raise a few diners, but this one excitedly learned from Meng Changjun in the Warring States period. Isn't it taboo by the royal family?In a fit of rage, Emperor Taizong excused that the gold he offered to the ancestral temple was not pure, which was unfilial, and almost took him away directly.The important officials in the court persuaded Emperor Taizong one by one, but the Lin family came to the end of the title of Lin Ruhai's father's generation. So far, the Lin family is considered to be a wealthy family at best, not a great family.

Although Lin Ruhai's father, Lin He, is only as big as a sesame mung bean, his family has millions of fortune left by his ancestors, and he lived a prosperous and prosperous life with three wives and four concubines.But the problem came out, Lin He was born in a wealthy family, and according to the rules of nobles, he had a housemate early, but the eldest son was born before his wife came in, and his Yue family was also from a wealthy family. However, if the trouble is too ugly, the marriage will be over, and the reputation of the Lin family will also suffer.So this Lin He and the concubine brought his own son to the old house in Suzhou, and did not register the name of the eldest son on the genealogy, and did not give a penny to the old house, completely ignoring them The life and death of the mother and daughter.

The concubine originally thought that after giving birth to a son, she would be able to officially become Lin He's aunt, but she didn't expect that the aunt would be driven to Suzhou with a bottle of oil instead. I found a wealthy businessman to marry into and became a concubine.It's really lucky that Lin Yi, who was still a baby, didn't die in the old house in Suzhou. With the help of the books in the old house, he even learned a lot about guessing. When he was a teenager, Lin He He died, and the main wife was short-sighted, afraid that he would come to fight for the Lin family's property, so he was not allowed to take the gold and silver in the house, but only allowed to take away a few boxes of books and a few scrolls of calligraphy and painting from the old house.

Lin Yi relied entirely on self-study, so his talents and learning were limited, and he was not enough to be an official in the imperial examination. Instead, the few boxes of books he got brought up his son Lin Jun.Lin Jun has never been taught by a famous teacher. Although he is talented and knowledgeable, he suffers from everywhere in the scientific examination and cannot grasp the context. It's just a review from the Qipin Imperial Academy, so there is this matter of contributing books.

According to the ranking he obtained in the scientific examination, he might not be able to reach the center after a lifetime, and he might not even be a local government official, and it would be good to be a fifth-rank official on the day he retires and returns home. Wouldn't all the talent and learning be in vain?

Lin Jun knew that in his situation, if he wanted to rise to the top, he had to be recommended by someone, and the best candidate for this recommendation was Jiang Yuan, who was the prince's confidant.He was very aware of the enmity between Jiang Yuan and Lin Hai, so he deliberately left a letter of dedication, in which he explained the relationship between himself and Lin Hai in detail, hoping not to be affected by Lin Hai's past actions, and to be able to help Jiang Yuan. recommended.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly. He really likes revenge a hundredfold, and he also likes to vent his anger on the enemy, but this venting of anger also has a range, and it doesn't involve even the three and nine clans.Lin Jun is considered to be Lin Hai's relative by blood, but in fact, the two have never met each other, and they have no relationship at all. Lin Jun and his father Lin Yi are not even on the Lin family's genealogy, saying that he is Lin Hai's Relatives are a bit too far-fetched.Moreover, this talent is outstanding in learning and knowledgeable about current affairs. Although I don't know his character and temperament, he is still a usable person.

Jiang Yuan is very aware of his strengths and weaknesses.He had a lot of experience in his previous life. He was a soldier, a businessman, posted on the Internet, and scolded his mother in a post bar. He likes to read books and watch science and education channels and documentaries on TV. One, no one can catch up.His character is good at planning people and leading troops, but he is not good at planning things.That is to say, he is very good at leading troops, and he is also good at fighting. He is very good at calculating others, setting traps for the opponent, and dragging the enemy into the water.

Indeed, he knows a little about water conservancy, farming, management, monitoring, science and technology, and historical development, including all political affairs, but he only knows a little bit.Indeed, he comes from a later generation with advanced information technology. He knows how to develop this dynasty well and what kind of route can build a powerful country, but he is doomed to only make plans. The person who is a good person cannot be the person who does practical things.

An astronomer can see every star in the sky clearly, but he falls into a hole on the ground because he only looks up at the stars and forgets to look at the road under his feet.Jiang Yuan is naturally able to look far ahead and look up at the stars, but it is difficult for him to do things in a down-to-earth manner.There is no problem with the army, but a strong country does not only need a strong army, but also needs to govern the world for the people who govern the government and the people.Fang Yue, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is indeed an expert in technology, but he only has talent in this area, not an all-rounder or generalist.To put it bluntly, the most comprehensive person under Situ Sheng's command is Jiang Yuan himself, but he is not comprehensive enough, and he needs an all-round deputy to assist him.

In his last life, Jiang Yuan didn't like to read foreign masterpieces, and he hadn't read many of them, but he had read Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities", and there was a passage that he remembered deeply.

[The sage of the time is also the murderer of the time.This is also the world of ignorance, and this is also the world of wisdom.This is also the season of light, and this is also the season of darkness.This is also the year of faith, and this is also the year of great confusion.This is also the beautiful spring, and this is also the poor winter of despair.People or everything has, people or nothing.In my generation, the blue sky will go straight up, and in my generation, I will fall forever in the underworld.People of insight at that time said that the good and evil in the world may be the ultimate, and there must be a basis for everything, and there is no way to tie it.But it's okay to live in it. 】

Wei Yi's translation is every word, and every word cannot be changed. This is the case in the Dajing Dynasty today.

This era is so good, it is difficult to miss it, and it is hard to miss it. This is a peaceful year, but it is in a chaotic world. It is this time to make contributions and make achievements.If you don't grasp such a good time, you won't have such an opportunity in the future.So Jiang Yuan is more eager than anyone else to find that assistant who is crucial to him. He doesn't know if Lin Jun is this person, but deep down in his heart he hopes that Lin Jun is this person!

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, put the "Five Strategies" in his sleeves, walked out of the outer study, and walked towards the backyard, hehe, as for whether Lin Jun should use it and how to use it, it is not a book that can convince himself.Let him check it out before we talk...

Jiang Yuan's "let's talk", just "let's talk" and go out for a month, Lin Jun is very calm, in fact, it's useless if he can't hold his breath, if he doesn't go to the prince Situ Cheng, how can he let him go to the dead King Shun? ?Just judging from the superficial behavior of King Shun at the banquet in February, he knew that he was not destined for a big event. Voting on him was no different from courting death.As for the contribution of other subordinates through the prince, this path obviously does not work.Jiang Yuan didn't want to use him, so did others want to use him?Lin Hai is a relative of the Yue family and Jia family who used to step on two boats. He defected to King Yong and colluded with King Lian, but both of them committed the crime of treason. With such a relative, who would Dare to use him?Jiang Yuan and Jiang Qingyuan may have such courage, but what about others?I'm afraid that if he doesn't burn his books as firewood, he will be broad-minded.So he had to hold his breath and continue to wait, and he could only hold his breath and continue to wait.

If a person has only one way to go and has no choice, he can calm down. Lin Jun is in such a situation.He honestly went to the Imperial Academy every day to do his work, honestly completed his work, and returned home to honor his father, read and write, calmly like an ordinary person, as if such a lofty ambition was not his.

It was a long time, but Lin Jun didn't realize how long it was, and neither did Jiang Yuan.He was worried about using others, so he specially sent Qing Lian to Suzhou to investigate the past situation of Lin Yi and Lin Jun, and asked Li Da to personally check the two people's temperament and whether there were any unknown obstacles involved.This one month is not only the time of investigation, but also the time of investigation.No matter what the final result of the investigation is, if Lin Jun's character is insufficient and too impatient, then he can't be used to great effect and must be tempered. Fortunately, both the results of the investigation and the results of the investigation made Jiang Yuan very satisfied , so he decided to come up with the first test question.

Lin Jun, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received Jiang Yuan's letterhead, which inscribed the items that would test him.Talking about war on paper is no good, so Jiang Yuan needs to see his actual talent.The question is not difficult. The question is about tens of thousands of horses in Daying, Gyeonggi outside the city. Each person needs three taels of meat and one tael of oil per day. In conversion, it needs [-] catties of meat and [-] catties of oil. The question is if Lin Jun It is the procurement officer of Gyeonggi Daying, how can we buy these items to ensure the daily supply of the army.

This topic is easy to say, difficult to say, it is completely open-ended, neither the amount of money nor the specific method is required, only the final result is required, but such a completely open topic is even more difficult.No requirement is the biggest requirement. If you want to meet Jiang Yuan's wishes, you need the most convenient and cheapest method, and you can't treat the sergeants in the camp badly, and you can't use inferior products as good ones.This requires careful thinking and careful investigation before a reasonable method and strategy can be set.

Lin Jun knew that this was only the first question to test his ability. After the first question, there was a second question and a third question... But if Jiang Yuan could not even answer the first question to his satisfaction, it meant that his talent was nothing more than that. , then he has no future to speak of.

Jiang Yuan waited for three days before getting a reply.Open the envelope and unfold it. Inside is a detailed plan, not so much a method as a procurement system. If you follow this detailed system, there may not be problems in a few years or even decades.Although it may not be the cheapest and easiest, it is the most suitable and the least volatile.This question - passed!

Lord Guanying wrote down the second question casually and ordered someone to send it to Lin Jun. This time it was a question about Taoism, agriculture and water conservancy. Lin Jun returned the answer four days later, and it was clear that he had thought it over and even done it. According to the investigation and analysis, there is still no problem, and it is quite feasible.

The third question, the fourth question...Jiang Yuan's questions are all-encompassing. He asked questions about taxation, management, planning, agriculture, people's governance, water conservancy, etc., but Lin Jun could answer them one by one, and even answered them fluently. Every time he found a new way, Some of the ideas in it are amazing.Finally, Jiang Yuan wrote down a question, sealed it in an envelope and ordered it to be handed over to Lin Jun, waiting for his final answer.

Guan Yinghou's confidant Qinglian, who has become the steward of the study, made this trip in person, and handed the sealed letter to Lin Jun. He knew very well how much his master Hou valued this Lord Lin. Although the place where he lived was rather dilapidated and his clothes were ordinary, just because Master Jiang valued him so much, he knew that he would definitely not be ordinary in the future.

After sending Qing Lian away, Lin Jun hurried back to the room and carefully opened the envelope. On the letterhead inside was written such a passage, "Yuan Xi heard it everyday, Xia Jie, Shang Zhou had a disease of desolation, Qin Lord Yan Emperor There is a doomed calamity, so the country is always in decline, the world has been exhausted, the ancestral temple is not protected and the world is in danger, the mountains collapse and the sun and the moon lose their brilliance. Today, three generations have been peaceful, and the future generations should be remembered high. Stay safe and think of danger, so use history as a mirror, please try to explain the way of survival and the principle of rise and fall."

This question is not about real political affairs at all. It is completely different from the previous questions. The style change is almost 180 degrees. Even Lin Jun, who is as calm as Lin Jun, is stunned. The style of the question is so different. What is going on? ?

After thinking about it, he calmed down again. The question of whether he knew what was going on was not the same question to be answered. He thought about it carefully, thinking about how to answer to satisfy Jiang Yuan.

It is reasonable for Jiang Yuan to ask such a question. Since the political affairs are almost covered, it is necessary to examine the other party's sensitivity to politics.Jiang Yuan's question is just a random question, you can say whatever you want, it is completely suitable for the talkative party, but if you take a closer look, you will know that this question is a big trap, if you are not careful, you will fall and be smashed to pieces , I don't know if Lin Jun can understand it.

If this question comes up and condemns the faults of Jie Zhou and others, or even says how the current emperor should avoid mistakes in order to learn from history, then it is a big mistake. If Lin Jun dares to write like this, then he has great talent It is destined to be the fate of a counselor and master, and there is no way in this life that Qingyun will go straight to the top official.Of course, even if Lin Jun wrote about Jiang Yuan in this way, he would still recommend him, but he would only recommend him as a counselor. How far he can go in this life depends on his own fate.

The correct answer to this question is that Jie Zhou was wrong but the emperor was not. How could the emperor be wrong?

What time is this now?It is ancient!It's Jingchao!If you dare to say that the current emperor has done something wrong, you still need your head!What kind of political sensitivity is this?

In the Western Han Dynasty of the previous life, there was a guy named Yuan Gusheng, who debated with others the topic of "Tang Wu Fei was ordered", that is, Shang Tang's crusade against Xia Jie, Wu Wang's crusade against Shang Zhou, and whether it was right or wrong to use ministers to defeat the emperor.This Yuan Gusheng was a straight man, and he said that Jie and Zhou were in chaos, and the heart of the world belonged to Tang Wu, so it was the destiny of heaven for Tang Wu to kill Jie and Zhou.The person who argued with him said that there is a division between superior and inferior. Although Jie and Zhou have no principles, they are monarchs. Although Tang and Wu are sages, they are ministers. Can it be right?What about your loyalty and benevolence?Yuan Gu was unconvinced, and he still yelled about him in front of Empress Dowager Dou, and almost let Empress Dou kill him. One can imagine how unlucky a brainless person is, and he didn't even talk about people when he saw people. He deserves to have never been involved in the central government in his whole life.

Even if the emperor really did something wrong, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart, you just can't say it, let alone write it.Since ancient times, those who have been outspoken and admonishing have basically been clicked. Will Wei Zheng, who survived, have a good result?Not even the monument has been pushed.Guys who haven't lit up the skill of "sarcasm" after so many years of learning can't survive in the ancient officialdom.In this era when defamation can be convicted, it is definitely not the fate of a person who commits such a big mistake to be an official, it is better to go home and farm.Even if you can't comprehend this kind of thing, even if you have the talents of the world, you can't survive in the officialdom. No matter how wise the emperor is, no matter how magnanimous, just the rivalry of his colleagues is enough to kill him.

This question does not test whether Lin Jun has the talent to be an official, but whether he has the thinking that an official should have.Those who are not cunning enough can just wash their hands and sleep. Even if this kind of person becomes a high-ranking official, he will die. It is better to be honest and contribute his talents behind the scenes.As for the smart ones...the biggest rewards of course.
