Chapter 46 The easiest thing is to be an official

This Hubei No. 1 brother and Hong brother are not on the same path at all, except for a little similarity, they are the same age. Ruicheng's full name is Borzigit Ruicheng, which sounds a bit awkward.The queen of Huang Taiji is the Borzigit family, which is considered to be somewhat related to the relatives of the state. Ruicheng was born in a family with a prominent but not well-known grandfather——Qi Shan, a witness to the humiliation of modern history, so I won't say much.Ruicheng's father was also a Heilongjiang general and a second-rank official.In Ruicheng's generation, his elder brother was confiscated, dismissed from his job, and exiled to the army for corruption, and his family declined sharply.

The burden on Ruicheng's shoulders is heavy. He wants to revive the family tradition and continue the past glory. His family background is also quite brilliant. Zai Ze, Minister of the Gongdu Branch of Zhen Guo, is his brother-in-law, Mrs. Zaifeng, the regent king, is his sister-in-law, and Emperor Guangxu's Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin are his cousins.The standard relatives of the state are much better than the second generation of officials.But there are many noble relatives like this in the Eight Banners, plus a grandfather with a bad reputation, in the capital where you can hit Baylor and Master Beizi with just a brick thrown, you should wait in line.

Ruicheng started from the most basic pen sticking style (documentary), and by the Gengzi period, he became a member of the household department Uiro (deputy director). This year, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, and Ruicheng, who was too late to escape, was captured by the Japanese army and assigned to clean up horse manure.A fifth-rank national relative was dizzy from horse manure all day long, but his mind was not confused, and he always cleaned up the horse manure from morning to night in obscurity.He turned all humiliation into motivation, looking for all possible opportunities in piles of horse manure.

One day, the Japanese envoy was looking for someone who could write documents, and Ruichen recommended himself with a broom.For those who work in this profession, Kuanwen naturally cannot trouble him.He seeks inspiration from piles of horse dung, and his thoughts flow like a spring, and he can wait for the horse to wait, and the articles are naturally flying.It's good, but it smells like horse dung.The envoy was very appreciative, and he was going to be appointed from now on. Soon, the Japanese envoy chatted with Yikuang, Prince Qing, Minister of Military Aircraft, saying that talents are rare, and solemnly recommended Ruicheng, and Ruicheng has followed Yikuang since then.

With a flexible mind, a thick skin, a backer, and an opportunity, such a person's underdeveloped career will be looked down upon by God. Since then, Ruicheng's spring has come! It only took Ruicheng four years to go from Daotai, Standard Taiwan, Fantai, and then to governor and governor. Ruicheng often told his wife that for so many years, the only thing that kept him going was the smell of horse manure. In 1909, Ruicheng served as the governor of Huguang, the first brother of Hubei and Hunan provinces. He came to a good place.The predecessor Zhang Zhidong was in power for 19 years. He implemented the New Deal, conducted foreign affairs, and trained the new army.

However, for Ruicheng, Fengshui Baodi used to be a place of sadness. It has nothing to do with politics, but a romantic past. Twenty years ago, Ruicheng traveled to Hubei with his father, who was the chief envoy (deputy governor).Youth is just young, everything is covered by his father, and Ruicheng squanders the passion of young people wantonly. Young people always like to chase stars. At that time, the brightest star in the three towns of Wuhan was a singing girl: Tong Aiai.She has a graceful figure and a melodious singing voice.Tong Aiai, the best among women, the number one scholar among the best, and the No. 1 among beautiful women with small feet.

Now the aesthetics is above, and the emphasis is on the big; in the past, the aesthetic was on the bottom, and the emphasis was on the small. Tong Ai'ai is undoubtedly the model of the novel, the best of the model, and the best of the best.All this fascinated Rui Li, who was half-open and half-understood. Tong Aiai is also obsessed with Ruicheng, young and young, with a lot of money, who doesn't love it? Since it is the brightest star, Rui Li must not be the only one looking up at it, but everyone is looking up at that star and looking for it. One day, Rui Li was whispering to Tong Ai'ai, when the door was suddenly opened, and a big man came in and shouted, who dares to touch my love?

Rui Cheng is not to be outdone: Ai Ai is mine, and I am Ai Ai's only one. The two men scolded each other, words of love were flying all over the sky. A heavy punch came, and Rui Li's front teeth fell out, and his mouth was full of blood.Ruicheng, stop talking, your grandma can't save you now. In the end, the matter was left alone, and it was a disgraceful scandal in itself, so Rui Cheng had to suffer a dark loss. This romantic past made Ruicheng wake up completely, and understood an irrefutable truth, only when a person has strength can he be attractive. Wuhan, wait for me, I will definitely come back.

Twenty years later, Ruicheng came back. He wanted to fulfill a promise, not a promise made by a man to a woman. He had already forgotten about Tong Ai'ai.He wants everyone to know that the young man from twenty years ago is back. Rui Cheng set off with a mighty force. Wuhan, here I come. Ruicheng's brigade is indeed extremely vast, extremely complex, all-encompassing, and all-encompassing. Master: The one who gives advice, helps to give advice on major and minor matters, without him; he is like a lighthouse on the sea, a guiding light, this is a must.Nature of work: Personnel agency for preparation.

Subordinate: Help, this is available.Nature of work: Personnel agency without establishment. Friend: You can have this for dinner, or you can not.Nature of work: Temporary workers. Relative: It’s all just for the sake of eating, so you don’t have to.But it's not easy to dismiss, it's all because of relatives, and I can't save my face.Nature of work: Temporary workers. Accountant, servant, cook, handyman, old lady, maid: those who do housework.This must have.Nature of work: Temporary workers. Ruicheng was very straightforward and accepted all the orders. Maybe you will say, what are you afraid of, it is all public funds.

The court pays the bill?It's a good idea, and the court is even poorer. At that time, the local governors all implemented the "contract system".The governor's yamen has a total of 3,600 yuan in office expenses per month, and it operates independently and is responsible for its own profits and losses.You will not lose one point, nor will you be given one more point. In fact, 3,600 yuan is not a lot, but as I said just now, the stall is too big.Ruicheng's most trusted chief master alone has a monthly salary of 300 yuan.In addition, the salaries of personnel agencies and temporary workers must be paid from inside.In addition, Ruicheng suffers from asthma, and Wuchang is very cold in winter, so he built a generator room in the Yamen, heating equipment, and equipment maintenance costs are huge, all of which are spent on office expenses. Maybe you said again, brother one, money is not easy to get, you can search for land at any time, a million is a fraction, ten million is just the beginning, billions is not a dream. But the blame lies here. This Hubei brother is short of money. I only heard of poor people without money, never heard of officials who can't make money.With such a good official, he is not greedy for a penny?Would you rather pay for it yourself than take a stitch from the public? Of course not, everyone loves money, officials are human beings, of course they also love money, there is nothing wrong with that. Ruicheng also loves money, but he loves it gracefully, not crazy.Because the eldest brother was too hysterical to search for land, and finally lost his family and property together hysterically. In fact, Ruicheng despises honest officials who don't love money, and in the end, he can't even afford a pair of underwear. He comes and leaves naked, why bother?If I am "naked", my family members are also exposed, which makes the whole family suffer. So Ruicheng concluded profoundly: An upright official is a naked official, and "naked" without the consent of others is an immoral and irresponsible behavior. Ruicheng once served as the top leader of Shanghai Road, Shanghai, land, finance, housing reform, and infrastructure.You know, that's the old hen of the hens, the real fat of the fat. With such a good job position and such a good opportunity, of course Ruicheng will be tempted, and the money will naturally follow. Where does the money come from?Interest, the interest on the indemnity in the "Xin Chou Treaty".Every year, the indemnities apportioned from all over the country are collected in the Shanghai Dao Yamen, and then aggregated and handed over to other countries.Since the indemnities from various places arrived in Shanghai early and late, Ruicheng deposited the remittances from various places in the bank of the big capitalist Hartong, delaying the time of handing in as much as possible, and the interest in the middle went into his own pocket, without taking any risks. Ruicheng's IQ is not a problem, and he still has to earn what he should and can earn. He earned more than one million taels of silver from the interest, while his predecessor made a net profit of more than 10 million taels.What does this say enough?It shows that Ruicheng loves money with a sense of proportion and grace, and of course he loves money with enough connotation.He is far from reaching the level of a corrupt official.While thinking about money, I am also thinking about the weakness of the country, the poverty of the people, thinking about getting as little as I can, and thinking about doing more good deeds within my ability. Ruicheng is also close to the people and doesn't like to put on airs. At that time, there were regulations that the Governor-General had to fire cannons when he got up, blow and beat when eating, ask for instructions early, and report late, which was not ambiguous at all.Rui Cheng skipped all of this and just ate western food and filet (beef tenderloin) steak every morning.Ruicheng never carried such popular items as pouches, snuff bottles, and sunglasses cases. Of course, Ruicheng is by no means independent, which cannot be mixed in the officialdom. In the late Qing Dynasty, three major hobbies prevailed in official circles: masculinity, mahjong, and theater, and Rui Li took them all.There are a few good men. If others have them, I should also have them, otherwise they will be too cheap.Mahjong and Pai Gow are indispensable tools for socializing and making friends.Ruicheng is very good at pushing Pai Gow, but not every time he can win, the loser is usually the small one, and the big one must win.Continuous big wins and small losses a few times are called poker skills; in officialdom, you can't let yourself take advantage of all the advantages. Comprehensive evaluation of Ruicheng, although a good official is a bit reluctant, but he is still a good official.Objectively speaking, you are an official who is self-interested and does not harm others; an official who loves money with grace, depth, and connotation; an official who resists various pressures and temptations and does not become completely hysterical in the end. But as the saying goes, good people do not necessarily have good rewards, and good officials do not necessarily have good luck. When Rui Li slowly began to try to be a good official, his bad luck came soon.
