Hu Xueyan and Wang Youling, a pair of good friends who left many wonderful stories in the history of the late Qing Dynasty.
If we summarize the exchanges between these two people in one sentence, I am afraid that we will have to say that righteousness is thin and cloudy, and officials and businessmen collude.
Speaking of yi bo yun tian, Hu Xueyan privately transferred five hundred taels of silver to Wang Youling's future journey is a very legendary period between the two, although some people think that this is a figment, but the two have a lifelong friendship is an ironclad fact.
A small businessman who is working hard and a local high-ranking official can be iron to this extent, it is obvious that money alone can not form this relationship, so it is said that the non-vulgar intercourse before their respective developments must exist, as to whether Hu Xueyan made the boss five hundred taels of silver to Give Wang Youling is actually not important.
Let's remember that it is enough for people who can do great things to have the vision and courage to send charcoal in the snow.
In other words, if you want to achieve great things, you must have the feat of not being able to let the child trap the wolf.
Five hundred and two pieces of silver are now, less than three or four hundred thousand, one side of the fate dares to be so ruthless, Hu Xueyan is indeed not an ordinary person.
However, if compared with the later Hu Xueyan, the five hundred taels of silver on the top are really nothing, and there are more things than this visionary and courageous thing in the later Hu Xueyan.
The pile we want to talk about today is the first superb performance of Hu Xueyan after Wang Youling found a high-ranking official, and in addition to his boldness, what is more exciting here is the agility and flexibility that seems to be handy.
Because of Hu Xueyan's five hundred taels of silver, coupled with the luck of the ancestral tomb smoking green smoke, Wang Youling quickly sat in the seat of the Shipping Bureau after working for a while in Renhe zhixian.
What kind of errand does this shipping bureau do?
Responsible for the shipping of Caoliang in Zhejiang.
At that time, this was a new yamen and a new position, and before that, the grain was mainly transported by the Grand Canal, because the canal was blocked, and the imperial court piloted shipping.
But everyone who has worked in a large unit should have such an experience, new departments, new work, well done is particularly easy to win the appreciation and promotion of big leaders, but it is often difficult to do a good job, why say so? Because most of the new departments have to move the interests of the old departments, the elderly do not help and do not say anything, and they will pull your hind legs if they are not even.
At that time, shipping moved to the cake of caoyun.
What does this mean? You Wang Youling is engaged in shipping is not false, but you always have to first put the grain on the sea, the canal is not blocked, can not start the transport first, just the people who transport water are not cooperating is enough for you!
This is not the most difficult place for the new work, the most difficult thing is that the caomi that Wang Youling is responsible for is not enough because the number of local disasters has not been completed, that is, the quota has not been completed. Don't underestimate this problem, Wang Youling's former boss Chun Shou was forced to die because of this matter, and finally let Zhejiang Inspector Huang Zonghan die.
It can be seen from this that the number one in the Zhejiang territory is not a good stubble.
In this way, we can feel how tricky this matter wang Youling encountered - the amount of rice is not enough, even if the existing ones are difficult to transport to the sea on time and on time, the leader who cannot complete the task can still ask you to die.
What can the average person do when they encounter such a problem?
One is sweating, the other is desperate to collect, and the third is to nod and ask for help.
But does this work?
Poor tossing and turning will not solve the big problem.
Also, the average person still has this problem, the more difficult the more stubbornly drill the tip of the bull's horn.
If Wang Youling did not have Hu Xueyan, a good friend at this time, the end was estimated to be no better than that of his predecessor who was forced to die.
However, this three-sided siege problem reached Hu Xueyan, and it did not seem to be a matter of simplicity.
Listen to how Hu Xueyan understands this puzzle - rice is rice, the same everywhere! Rice in Zhejiang is rice, and rice in Shanghai is not rice! The amount of rice in Zhejiang is not enough to be transported out, so buy rice in Shanghai and transport it directly to the sea, this matter will not be over!
Wang Youling listened, wonderful! How could I not have thought of it!
How did not expect, typical to make the problem in front of you stupid.
However, this trick is also risky, first, can not let the imperial court know, second, can not let the Shanghai side of the rice merchants penetrate the inside situation, let the imperial court know, this is a bully, let the Shanghai rice merchants know, that has to raise the price.
Speaking of this, Hu Xueyan's other outstanding point has emerged.
If you want to keep this a secret, you have to sprinkle some sealing fees on the people around you.
How to sprinkle it?
Let your people join me in Shanghai and eat kickbacks! After eating the kickback, their mouths were naturally sealed.
In this way, a seemingly impossible task easily dissolved Hu Xueyan, but if you look back, you feel that there is nothing remarkable.
And this seemingly nothing remarkable is Exactly what Hu Xueyan is remarkable about.
A handy workaround, all the problems are solved, which gives us a revelation, when surrounded by problems, you may wish to jump out of the problem first, stand outside the problem to see the problem, maybe the workaround is in front of you!
