The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 563 Chen Jin enters the government

Luoyang, the General's Mansion.

The falling snowflakes in the sky seemed to cover up the sound, and the world became a little quiet. Even if someone spoke, it seemed that the texture of the past was gone, and the world seemed to have been washed.

In the blink of an eye, the six years of teaching Han Dynasty have come to an end. I don’t know when it started. Time has become a little faster. I don’t feel anything and it passes quietly. A lot of things seem to have happened in this year, but nothing seems to have happened. The days just go by. It passed quietly in the ordinary.

Chen Mo just sat in the courtyard, enjoying the silence of this moment. Although it was cold, his mind seemed to be particularly clear in such weather.

"Father." Chen Jin came in at some unknown time and saluted Chen Mo. At the end of every year, Chen Jin would come back to reunite with his family.

"Well, sit down." Chen Mo nodded and motioned for Chen Jin to sit opposite him. He turned to look at his son and said, "My mentor has told me that you have completed your studies well and you are qualified to become an official."

"But Jin'er always feels more confused." Chen Jin shook his head. The more he learned, the more confused he felt. He felt that he was not enough.

"Those things that you are confused about cannot be taught in the academy. You have to find it yourself." Chen Mo nodded. There were many truths that he didn't understand when he was studying, because the reality he saw was contrary to many places recorded in the book.

"I don't know how to find it, kid?" Chen Jin asked in confusion: "Is what I learned in the book useless?"

"How could it be useless?" Chen Mo smiled when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "What is contained in the book are all the principles of heaven and earth summarized by the sages. There may be mistakes, but most of them are right. These knowledges are the basis of this world. The order is different from the law. These orders are in people's hearts, but the truth is like this. Human nature is selfish. People in the world pursue nothing more than fame and fortune, but the word fame and fortune is the most complicated. It will derive many things to cover up the original A clear order can set aside these things and see the true order of the world, which can be called a wise man, and what you have to do now is to set aside these things hidden outside the order."

"Can't you tell Yu Hai'er directly?" Chen Jin asked doubtfully.

"Before I became a father, I also asked your master this question. But sometimes, the Tao can be taught but not taught. What I say is my father's Tao, but it is not your Tao. Some people pursue pleasure, some pursue growing the family, and some people What I'm after is finding a place to live in this troubled world, and different people have different views." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Dare you ask what my father's Tao is?" Chen Jin asked curiously.

"My way?" Chen Mo looked at the snowy scene outside the pavilion and said with some reminiscence: "When I was young, my father was very young at that time. If there was no war, my father's way would probably be to cultivate more land. acres of land, the family hires a few tenant farmers, and becomes a mediator or a pavilion director, then it counts as honoring the ancestors. Later, when the Taiping Sect war broke out, and you just wanted to live with your grandmother, and then you met your master, it didn't count. Counting it as my father's luck, I studied literature and martial arts. What I wanted was to revitalize the family business, let my Chen family surpass the so-called direct line, or become a minister of ZTE again; but unfortunately, the war in Luoyang... Until now It has been more than ten years, and now that I have you brothers and Ming'er, as a father, I hope the world will be peaceful and that all my Chinese people will be like dragons!"

Chen Jin was a little confused when he heard this: "Isn't this the same way?"

"Of course not." Chen Mo smiled and shook his head and said: "Life is like a boat without ties. When you are an ordinary citizen, if you think about helping the world, you are overestimating your capabilities. People can have lofty ideals, but But you have to focus on the present. Talking about ambitions is just a joke. Even if you have such lofty ambitions in your heart, there are usually not many roads you can take before you have the ability. You are very lucky to be able to choose the road you choose from the moment you are born. There are more than one path at the beginning of the day, but there are also misfortunes. No matter which path you choose, you are born with more burdens than others. "

Chen Jin seemed to understand something but not quite.

"You are going to become an official. Where are you going?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at his son.

"My child wants to be straight first." Chen Jin bowed.

"You may be able to be a county magistrate or a county magistrate, but you can't be a magistrate." Chen Mo said with a smile after hearing this.

"Why is this?" Chen Jin looked at his father in astonishment, wondering why he could be a county magistrate but couldn't be honest.

Chen Mo thought for a while, looked at Chen Jin and said, "Since you are not convinced, go ahead and do it. If you want to be honest, just pick a place around Luoyang. You really can't do it in other places."

Chen Jin was puzzled. He had a young mind and had already accomplished his studies at this time. Since he wanted to become an official and wanted to prove his ability, he naturally had to find some remote and remote areas and manage these places well in order to show his ability. It was obviously not to his liking around Luoyang.

"Give you half a year. After half a year, if you can't even manage the villages in these places around Luoyang, let alone other places." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

There aren't many things going on in this village, but in this kind of place, the village party complex is the strongest. It's hard to say, but it's really not difficult. It's not easy to do something brilliant. This is because Chen Jin and Chen Mo have experienced rural life since they were young, so they have some life experience, otherwise it would be even harder.

Moreover, the three elders and Li Zheng are usually selected from local people with high moral standards. Xenophobia is actually more serious among villages. That's why Chen Mo said that he might be a good county magistrate but not a Li Zheng.

I just saw that my son was a little young and frivolous, so I didn't stop him. I just let him try on his own. Maybe he can do it. If not, failure is not harmful to a person's growth. After all, even Chen Mo, who has the help of the system gods, can't do it. It hasn't all been smooth sailing.

"Here!" Chen Jin stood up and saluted Chen Mo.

Looking at his confident son, what was revealed in his eyes made Chen Mo feel nostalgic. Before he knew it, his son had reached this age.

"Go and stay with your mother. When the snow stops, go and take office." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"My child, you obey!" Chen Jin bowed and left, while Chen Mo continued to stay in the pavilion to enjoy the snow, enjoying the tranquility or loneliness.

It snowed heavily and it lasted for three days before it stopped.

Chen Jin left, taking with him the two escorts Chen Mo had arranged for him. He was going to take up his post. Considering Li Zheng's position, having two followers could be regarded as Chen Mo opening the back door for him.

The village arranged for Chen Jin is near Luoyang. It is a village where refugees from the Central Plains gather. After years of development, it has its own original integrity. However, with the reform of the imperial government, this official can also be promoted. In In the last batch of promotions, they were transferred to other places to serve as the third elder.

If it were the county seat, Chen Mo's eldest son would be here at the foot of Luoyang. I'm afraid the news would spread out soon. In fact, it was indeed the case. When Chen Mo's son took office, the surrounding counties and cities in Luoyang got the news. Regarding the person who took office this year, The county magistrate, who is about the same age, is extremely respectful.

But when it comes to the countryside, there is no such thing. After all, no one would have ever dreamed that Chen Mo's son would start from the inside when he became an official.

As the lowest official, Li Zheng had no other deputies to help him within a mile of the official's territory. Therefore, if he wanted to do things in the countryside, he could only go door to door to inquire about the situation. Each village had its own set of rules. Inside, it took Chen Jingguang a lot of time to adapt to and understand these things. In half a year, there was no major event as he imagined. He spent the whole day running around the countryside, dealing with trivial matters, or presiding over farming.

Half a year passed by in a flash, and Chen Jin didn't even notice that it was Chen Mo who called him back.

It was already hot summer. Chen Mo looked at his son who had darkened a lot and said with a smile: "I'm a little thinner, but I'm also a lot stronger."

Cai Yan, on the other hand, felt a little sorry for her son, so she pulled Chen Jin to her side, greeted him, and occasionally complained about Chen Mo.

Because Zhen Mi was about to give birth, Chen Mo spent most of this time at home with her, which was quite leisurely. After Chen Jin comforted his mother, he came to Chen Mo.

"How do you feel?" Chen Mo asked with a smile and asked someone to bring some food to Chen Jin.

"Father is right. Although there are no major events in this village, there are many rules. Some are consistent with the Book of Rites, but some are different." Chen Jin bowed.

"Customs vary from place to place. If you use etiquette as a mechanical tool and apply it to the local area, naturally it won't work." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Let's go up. It's difficult for Li Zheng and the three elders to accumulate political achievements. I will explain it later. I will transfer you to Hanoi to be the third elder. It will take half a year. We will see how you go. Next year we will let you You want to be the county magistrate. Of course, if you can make any achievements in the past six months, you can also take office early. Now everyone in the court is guessing where you are. With this time, it is just in time to stagger their awareness, and then transfer you. Once you reach the position of county magistrate, it will be a matter of course and no one else will notice."

Chen Jin nodded, and then seemed to think of something. He looked up at Chen Mo and said, "Did father plan this early in the morning?"

"This is a pressure that ordinary people don't have on you. No matter where you are, you will attract the attention of others. These eyes may not be all kind. You are still young and may not be able to distinguish between good and evil. Although you have no great achievements in the countryside, but Human beings are also the most intuitive. Taking this opportunity will help you understand many basic principles in this world. You are still Young, it will not be good for you to participate in the intrigues in the court too early. There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, but there is a shortage of smart people who can do practical things. If you want to inherit my career in the future, if you just set your sight If you are exposed to the intrigues between the courts, it will destroy you and it will do no good to the world." Chen Mo said with a smile.

In other words, everyone, including his own son, has been plotted by his father?

Chen Jin was a little surprised when he looked at Chen Mo. At this moment, he realized for the first time how terrifying his father, who was known as the wisest man in the world, was. While talking and laughing, everyone seemed to be under the control of his father. .

"Be calm and do what you think is right. Don't think too much about it now. No matter how big the matter is, you have to be a father!" Chen Mo stood up, patted his son on the shoulder and smiled.

"Here!"
