Chapter 1031 You can earn more by abandoning your conscience
Yang Shaofeng almost laughed out of anger.
What I'm saying is, whether it's choosing someone to be the prefect of Beiping or choosing someone to rebuild Dadu, this has nothing to do with me, right?
This is clearly a problem that Li Shanchang and the officials in the Ministry of Personnel should be struggling with.
Why must I, the official, choose the people?
Just as Yang Shaofeng was about to refuse, Zhu Biao preemptively said, "My father said that of the twenty-odd county magistrates from Ningyang, you, brother-in-law, know them best. I believe you can definitely make the arrangements."
"As for Prime Minister Li and the various government departments..."
After a slight pause, Zhu Biao continued, "To be honest, brother-in-law, they are all busy organizing the affairs of their respective departments in preparation for the future split."
Yang Shaofeng paused for a moment, then asked, "Split up?"
Zhu Biao nodded and replied, "Yes, it's about splitting up. From the Grand Secretariat to the various ministries, temples, directorates, and academies, all government offices will be split in two. The existing government offices will be moved to Beiping, while the split offices will remain in Nanjing."
"To put it bluntly, it's a system of governance between the two capitals. Nanjing is responsible for Southern Zhili, while Beiping is responsible for the entire Ming Dynasty except for Southern Zhili."
"It's better to be prepared."
Yang Shaofeng was a little confused.
What the hell is this?
The tricks that the fourth brother hadn't even had a chance to use were played by the old man first?
But then Yang Shaofeng thought about it again and felt that something was not right.
"Even if we split up the cabinet and the various ministries, temples, academies, and institutes, it won't be done in a day or two."
"Most of them will need to be repaired, and the imperial city will mostly need to be rebuilt, which will take several years to complete."
Yang Shaofeng said with a forced smile, "In any case, there's no way you can't even spare the time to select a prefect, is there?"
Zhu Biao's smile froze slightly.
What should I say?
They said my dad and Li Xiang just couldn't stand seeing you, brother-in-law, acting like a lazy bum all the time, so they deliberately gave you more work.
Or is it that my father and Prime Minister Li have already discussed and agreed that in a few years, Prime Minister Li will retire and return to his hometown, and then Hu Weiyong or Wang Guangyang will be brought back to be the second Grand Secretary, so that you, brother-in-law, can be protected from the wind and rain, and at the same time pave the way for you to become the third Grand Secretary?
But if you say all these things out loud, wouldn't your brother-in-law get angry and run away?
Even if you don't run away, your memorials are enough to give people a headache!
Zhu Biao chuckled twice, picked up the small dragon ball and took a sip, pretending to think. After a while, he finally spoke: "Well, it's about the repairs in Dadu, right? My father and Prime Minister Li don't trust anyone else, but what about the more than twenty magistrates in Ningyang County? Brother-in-law, you know them best."
"The key is that they went to the School of Architecture at the University of Terengganu for help, which should be more convenient for them than for others to go to the University of Terengganu."
"Even if Zhou Jingxin is just a fellow townsman, a fellow student, and a classmate, shouldn't he go easy on us a little when it comes to the engineering college at Dengzhou University?"
Yang Shaofeng finally understood—Old Deng, Little Deng, and that old scoundrel Li Shanchang were eyeing the manpower of the Engineering College of Dengzhou University, and fearing that Zhou Jingxin would not release them, they were thinking of using the manpower of Ningyang County to break the deadlock.
Therefore, their intention was not to transfer personnel from the engineering college of Dengzhou University to repair Dadu, but to establish another engineering college like that of Beiping University!
wrong.
If the goal was simply to establish an engineering college, it wouldn't have required such extensive effort.
Even if Zhou Jingxin is stingy, he wouldn't stop people from leaving when it comes to repairing Dadu.
and so……
They've got their eyes on Denzhou University!
Should I first designate a site for Peking University?
Since the location of Peking University was designated by me, it should be reasonable for me to issue a Peking University graduation certificate as well, right?
In my past life, I was just a little short of the entrance score for Peking University. This time, I'll give myself a graduation certificate!
Zhu Biao was really going all out to fool people.
Yang Shaofeng's thinking became increasingly skewed.
It wasn't until quite a while later that the two of them gradually found common ground in their conversation.
“Geng Xingming from Zunhua, that guy has made a name for himself in Zunhua. In recent years, he has recruited nearly 10,000 households of herdsmen from Mongolia.”
"The key is that besides leading the yamen runners to rob people, this guy also thinks about the nearby prefectures and counties, which is better than Zhou Liangyu and Li Hui and the others."
Yang Shaofeng took a sip of the small dragon ball and continued, "As for Dadu... Has Your Highness noticed a problem? The water in the capital isn't very good."
Zhu Biao was a little confused by Yang Shaofeng's incoherent behavior.
What I'm saying is, what does it have to do with whether the water in the capital is good or not?
Is it because the water in Dadu is not good to drink?
The problem is that we can't just move the capital to another location because the water in Dadu is not good, can we?
How much does it cost to repair most of them?
How much would it cost to relocate and build a new capital?
Zhu Biao's mind was filled with wild thoughts, while Yang Shaofeng simply curled his lip and said, "Your Highness, don't bother thinking about it. The water in Dengzhou City won't taste good in the future either, and the water in Ningyang County will become increasingly unpalatable as well."
"Because more people will move into the city in the future, and the town will gradually develop towards industrialization, the groundwater resources will definitely be polluted, and thus become increasingly unpalatable."
for example.
When the Manchu bannermen entered a teahouse in the late Qing Dynasty, the waiter would shout, "Bring a pot of tea!"
Later, a bunch of random internet celebrities impersonating "old Beijingers" took advantage of ordinary people's lack of knowledge about what old Beijing was really like, so they started boasting about "brewing high-quality teapots" and promoting a whole bunch of even more nonsensical and low-quality products.
The real "high-quality tea" doesn't refer to the fake Beijing tea connoisseurs who say "you have to raise the spout when pouring tea," nor does it refer to the so-called "high-quality broken tea" or "high-quality foam" that they promote. Instead, it refers to jasmine tea with a "high number of scenting cycles."
Because the old city of Beijing, after nearly 600 years of weathering the storms of the Ming and Qing dynasties, had so much alkali seeping into the groundwater from human labor and animal excrement that the groundwater was undrinkable, commonly known as "too hard water".
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty certainly didn't care about this, because the water used in the palace was specially transported from Yuquan Mountain.
But who among ordinary people can afford to drink the water from Yuquan Mountain?
Jasmine tea with a high "scenting rate" can just suppress the alkaline taste of the groundwater in Beijing.
The term "scenting number" refers to the number of times tea leaves absorb the aroma of fresh flowers. Each scenting is called one scenting. Usually, fresh flowers and tea leaves are mixed together, and the tea leaves slowly absorb the fragrance of the flowers while the leaves are still. Then, the flowers are removed, and the tea leaves are dried to become scented tea. The higher the scenting number, the better the tea aroma and the floral aroma blend together.
Why did the Eight Banners descendants in the late Qing Dynasty like "the tallest teapot"?
Firstly, during the late Qing Dynasty, the good days of the Eight Banners' descendants forcibly taking women by carrying bird cages were gone forever. The little bit of ancestral property they had acquired by seizing land had been almost completely squandered. They could no longer afford to drink a proper cup of tea, so they could only drink some broken tea leaves, which were called "pure tea in a pot" or "broken tea."
However, the Manchu nobles of the Eight Banners were very concerned about "face," so the waiters in the teahouses of the capital would order "a pot of high-quality tea." But at this time, the so-called "high-quality" tea had changed from jasmine tea with a high "scenting degree" to "high-quality broken tea" as a forced attempt to save face.
Then, those so-called internet celebrities started posing as old Beijingers, using nonsensical terms like "gaosui" and "gaomo" to fool ordinary people who neither understand tea nor know about the water quality of old Beijing.
Making money may be a bit shabby and unscrupulous, but as long as they abandon their conscience, they can earn even more.
But then Yang Shaofeng suddenly paused, lost in thought.
Whether the water in Beiping is good or not is another matter.
They didn't care about the water quality in Nanjing.
This "gaosui" and "gaomo" are genuinely good stuff.
With just a little hype, you can sell it overseas to fool idiots?
