After Zhejiang's plan to "change rice to mulberry" stalled, Hu Zongxian submitted a note to the imperial court, proposing to suspend the implementation of national policy for the time being. At his suggestion, the imperial court decided to adjust the policy to silkworms as the main industry. Therefore, Yan Shifan issued a fatal order to Zhejiang:
Tell them not to deal with Hu Zongxian anymore, just do it, anyway, it is the opportunity of the Dragon Boat Festival to flood those nine counties first. Then let those big silk farmers prepare grain to buy fields, and after buying the fields, they will plant mulberry seedlings for me, and I will see silk this year. ”
In the face of the note that made Yan Shifan extremely indignant, Yan Shifan made corresponding arrangements:
I will review Hu Zongxian's submission and make sure he understands that there is only one cloud in his sky, and this cloud is our Yan family. ”
In order to compensate for the country's financial deficit, frantically accumulate wealth, and ensure the rights and interests of corruption on the entire network, Yan Shifan even disregarded the lives and deaths of ordinary people in nine counties.
After Yan Shifan issued the order, officials in Zhejiang quickly responded:
Hu Zongxian said: No matter what Yan Shifan ordered, no matter whether Tan Lun, the spokesman of King Yu, supervised in Zhejiang, and whether the silk ** could be completed by the end of the year, his only position was that the life and death of the people could not be ignored.
Zheng Michang and He Maocai said: He will listen to what Yan Shifan says.
Yang Jinshui, the chief eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, said that the life and death of the people were not directly related to himThe suffering of the common people has nothing to do with him. The conflict in Zhejiang is not directly related to him;The policies of the imperial court have nothing to do with him. Just make sure that the silk ** work at the end of the year is completed. That is what we are discussing today — on the direction and path of reform. However, in order to successfully accomplish this mission, we must work closely with the "Strict Party" and actively implement the national policy of "changing rice to mulberry".
Therefore, Yang Jinshui took Zheng Michang and He Maocai to find Shen Yishi, an official merchant of the Weaving Bureau, to gain an in-depth understanding of the production of silk. In the process, they launched a conversation that was hailed as a classic, completely exposing the unwritten rules of the workplace and officialdom.
After inspecting the production workshop, several personnel walked to the back hall, and Shen Yishi made a speech:
Lord Zheng, please sit down with Gonggong Yang!”
Although Yang Jinshui was not directly subordinate to the official institutions in Zhejiang, he was the head of the weaving bureau sent to Jiangnan in the imperial palace, and his status was highly respected and had a unique position, so he should be given full respect at the local level. His status was a symbol of the emperor's nobility and the respect of his ministers. Therefore, he sat in the first place, there is no doubt about it.
Zheng Michang is the political envoy of Zhejiang, and he has become the second most important ** in Zhejiang's officialdom, second only to Hu Zongxian. He is a big **, the governor of the official residence, but he is also a great poet, and he has left a lot of poems in his life. There were only two seats in the seats, and Yang Jinshui sat in one of them, and the rest of the seats would naturally be given to the most senior leader.
Shen Yishi's food and clothing parents were the head of the weaving bureau sent from the palace;Shen Yishi's parents, the second-in-command, were in charge of civil affairs, taxation and fiscal affairsThe two ** have worked together for ten years, but they have no official positions and prominent positions. Shen Yishi's way of giving up his seat for others is completely impeccable.
Please observe Zheng Michang's reply:
Please talk to Grandpa Yang and sit there. ”
Leaders can give in, but you must not be absent, which is not only a kind of respect, but also a fundamental quality to survive in the workplace and officialdom.
Subsequently, Yang Jinshui also put forward a corresponding plan:
Since you are the master here, sit here. ”
Let's appreciate Shen Yishi's ingenious reply again:
Okay, I'd like to share a few things with you. ”
If the leader tells me how to sit, I will do as instructedIn addition, the purpose of my sitting on it is to report my work progress to my superiors more conveniently, not to show my special and honorable.
This is the so-called attitude, that is, knowing how to position oneself correctly;This is called sensibility, knowing how to maintain humility and humility at all times.
After arranging the seats, everyone expressed their appreciation for the tea leaves of the Shen Mansion, and Shen Yishi's ingenuity was once again displayed
This year's first batch of Shifeng Longjing tea leaves was picked at night when the buds first appeared. ”
When several parents who cared about food and clothing praised the quality of tea, Shen Yishi certainly knew how to express it appropriately. He said, "The tea is mine."'The root of life'So, I cherish it very much. However, before making an official statement, it is necessary to emphasize the uniqueness and value of this tea in order to better express one's deep emotions and sincere heart.
After praising his tea, Shen Yishi began to give gifts
Due to the small output, we prepared two catties each for Grandpa Lu, Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao;And the adults gave in slightly, and each prepared a pound. ”
As the saying goes, "what is scarce is more precious", if it is a mass-produced gift, then what is its value?However, for most people, gifts are a kind of "rare things".A gift, to some extent, is a person's evaluation and recognition of themselves, and it can become a status symbol. The phrase "produce less" creates a very favorable linguistic background for my future gift-giving plans.
Yang Jinshui, who was present, was the most respected, and Shen Yishi first mentioned in his words that the person who should be most respected and filial is undoubtedly Yang Jinshui's supporter - Lu Fang;Zheng Michang and He Maocai are both members of the "Yan Party", so Yan Song's tea is also indispensable. Regarding the tea provided by Yang Jinshui and the other two, I think Shen Yishi did not prepare in advance, and only made a temporary response after seeing that they all had some kind of hint. Although the amount of tea is not abundant, this is undoubtedly a big challenge to Shen Yishi's gift-giving skills.
Lu Fang and Yan Song held the top leadership positions of the "celebrant supervisor" and the "cabinet" respectively, and it was completely reasonable to prepare more tea for these two ** at the top of power, and no one would object to this.
Although Shen Yishi often said "wronged adults", he provided the same tea for all adults, and he still remembered in his heart that although there was a difference in the amount of tea, this was mainly due to the insufficient amount of tea and the difference in official positions.
What's more critical is that in the process of giving gifts to Lu Fang and Yan Song, Shen Yishi emphasized a fact to several adults present: I will never provoke you;I, you shall not offend. However, there are others behind me, and you need to be cautious as well.
Although Zheng Michang and He Maocai expressed satisfaction with Shen Yishi's plan, Yang Jinshui, a person who directly decided whether and how much profit Shen Yishi could make, apparently expressed dissatisfaction with this and began to criticize Shen Yishi:
Do you think these people are out of place with you? With 3,000 looms, tens of thousands of acres of farmland, and hundreds of silk and tea shops, but you enjoy clean water and fasting alone, and you wear rough clothes, who are you going to show your poor clothes?”
With such wealth and property, the gifts you give are all of different levels, do you deliberately pretend that you are poor, or do you look down on me, Yang Jinshui?
Let's listen to Shen Yishi's explanation:
When I saw the oil seller Niangzi Shui combing her hair, I found that my loom and silk row were designed for the Weaving Bureau. If one day Grandpa Yang becomes dissatisfied with me and kicks me, I can still survive. ”
This sentence conveys a double meaning:
1. I didn't pretend to be poor, but I prepared in advance. If one day you stop looking at me, I'll be smart and save enough money so I can get on with my life;
2. Although my job is provided by you, in the final analysis, both of us work for the benefit of the palace, so Lu Fang and Yan Song should be regarded as the most important people. Offend him, and I may be killed. If I offend you, I may not be able to make money;If you don't mean that, that's okay too. If I anger Lu Fang and Yan Song, I may lose my life;Therefore, whether you give an opinion or not is not critical.
Yang Jinshui clearly perceived this threatening sentence, and he had to give this reply with a sarcastic tone while showing weakness
Don't be kidding, Elder Yan Ge and Gonggong Lu must not kill me. ”
I didn't tell you that you shouldn't pay too much attention to Lu Fang and Yan Song, and even my life is controlled by others, so you'd better not say that.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Jinshui quickly changed the topic and turned his focus to "business":
Okay, let's discuss this formally. 300,000 horses of silk, there has been a notice above, and 100,000 horses will be in charge of Lao Hu in Jiangsu;200,000 horses will be up to you;According to this calculation, you will need to add an additional 3,000 looms. It will take a while to build the workshop and the loom, how will you do your job?”
Note that this sentence carries a great deterrent:
Even though I can't kick you down with a single kick, I have the right to decide how many tasks you need to complete!If you're not satisfied, I can throw you out of the company. For an order of 300,000 horses, I have the ability for you to fulfill 200,000. If you don't want to accept my request, you'll have to accept my punishment - I'll give you three days to see the results after three days. More crucially, if you are unable to complete your task within the allotted time, I have the ability to put you in order immediately.
Shen Yishi also showed his tenacity and did not flinch:
The task assigned by the imperial court is really tiring, and I dare not delay it in any way. After all, the pass is made of mulberry fields, and without mulberry fields, it is impossible to ** so much silk, and even if the loom is added, silk cannot be supplied. ”
Don't brag about it, the deal is not offered by you, but by the court or palace. If I don't do that, you're going to be punished. Please allow me to complete the delivery within the specified deadline;If I don't deliver on time, I'm going to be punished!However, you must make sure that my requirements are met before delivery, otherwise, I will never carry this black pot.
That sentence made Yang Jinshui speechless.
However, what kind of fate will Shen Yishi with this kind of character encounter in the end?How will his tragic end continue?Let's wait and see what happens!
