Chapter 879
The wind is very interesting, the good and the bad always come first, and the well-informed can get a step ahead by receiving some wind before others. This is also the skill that those big men who call themselves "upper class" are proud of.
However, this idea of wanting to "go one step ahead" will not work on Shen Hao's side.
People with higher status than Shen Hao and who need Shen Hao to curry favor with him will not come to join in the fun, and those who come here are all looking for something to do, and it depends on Shen Hao's mood whether to pay attention to these people. He is Xuan Qingwei, not a local official, and he has to pick people if he wants to weave a network.
It doesn't mean that you are rich, or how many high-level connections you have in the imperial city, or who is a high-ranking official in a certain yamen in your family, and what rank is it. Shen Hao doesn't need to pay attention to these things. measure. Because Xuan Qingwei was originally a place for lonely ministers, thinking too much, making too many friends is not a good thing.
Therefore, Shen Hao instructed Hu Tian to decline all the invitations and invitations sent to Shen's residence. The reason is also very simple: too busy, no time.
Not afraid of offending people at all. In fact, no one dared to be angry because of Shen Hao's closing the door to thank guests, at least no one showed it like this.
Shen Xixing, isn't he notoriously difficult to get in touch with? Isn't it normal to say thank you behind closed doors?
But now, with the end of the war in the south, rumors within the country are getting louder and louder. Everyone knows that after the victory in the national war, it is time to reward meritorious deeds.
The pensions and honors for the fallen soldiers were issued first, but now they are all in place, and the rest is to calculate the harvest for the soldiers who come back alive.
Credit is counted from bottom to top, that is to say, the rewards for the soldiers in the front line are the first to be determined. Their rewards are very straightforward, each head is recorded in detail in the military merit book, and a special person in the military is responsible for each item. There are traces and evidence to follow. And the final reward is calculated based on these records in the military merit book.
In addition to meritorious service, ordinary soldiers like to be rewarded with money and fields. Sometimes there will be some real job vacancies in the local yamen, and these soldiers who have retired from the battle will be given priority.
As for the disabled, they can get a pension and receive a ration from the local government every month, and if they have children in the family, they will also receive some blessings.
And the higher one goes, the more complicated the calculation of credit and reward is. For example, generals in the command position, because they have no way to count according to the intuitive credit of the head, so whether they are high or low depends on the artificial fluctuations in the conversion. The highest level is naturally the person who made the first contribution in this national war, Zuo Yuliang, and his reward is also the most confusing.
It is said that as early as the beginning of January, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War were busy calculating the credits after the war, checking the existing rules and regulations, and at the same time verifying each credit record that was sent up one after another. Discuss and form preliminary opinions.
There is basically nothing worth researching about the merits of the officials below the level of a thousand households, just follow the existing rules. At most, just adjust the details. However, people of the rank of Qianhu Guan and above are more troublesome. They need repeated discussions and finally have to go directly to Tianting, and the emperor's own written instructions can be finalized.
However, although the conversion is easier at the bottom, it is more difficult at the top, but when it is issued, it must be done together. That is to say, the rewards for soldiers and generals will be issued together instead of in batches due to the difficulty of conversion.
And the current rumors have something to do with the largest national and court edition award in more than forty years.
No matter how happy the soldiers are, it has nothing to do with the so-called "upper class" bigwigs. It's just money and food, which is not enough to attract attention. What really made them ponder in private was the rewards for generals with thousands of households and above. Among them, they were most concerned about the change of position. In fact, the internal changes in the army will not affect the local area, but it is not only the army who made military achievements in this national war.
Not to mention the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, a large part of the credit behind the victory of this national war is theirs. After all, such a long-distance front can maintain operation without the support of the teleportation circle. Guarantees are a must.
Another non-military team who made great contributions is Xuan Qingwei. Who doesn't know that the supervisors played a huge role in this national war? The generals are able to let go of their hands and feet and not be coerced and threatened by the civil service group all because of these existences that are often ignored by people.
And as the core figure in the rise of the supervisor, Shen Hao, the "evil star" who has risen to fame, naturally became a topic of discussion among the "upper class" in major cities. Even to a large extent, these "upper class" bigwigs pay more attention to Shen Xixing than to Zuo Yuliang.
why? Because the army has its own relatively closed circle, it can't control the place, but Xuan Qingwei has long hands and legs, but they can find a reason to intervene as long as they want to take care of the affairs of the old dynasty, and the law is very strict. It is difficult to restrain them. Just like a wild boar, if you try to stop it, you can't stop it. If you don't do it, you will be turned on your back or even your family will be destroyed.
It's useless to just pay attention, there must be substantial contact, otherwise, even if you want to curry favor, there is no way.
Aren't you thanking guests behind closed doors? Aren't you ignoring me? OK! Then take a detour and try another method. As long as you can meet Shen Xixing, even if you can say a few words, leaving an impression is a good start.
So after Shen Hao rejected all the invitations and invitations, he did not extinguish the thoughts of the "upper class" people who wanted to cling to him. Those people turned their heads, and naturally a new door came along.
Zhu Shou, Wang Jian, Wang Yiming, Tang Qingyuan, even Kuang Shengyuan, and Chen Tianwen as far away as Licheng became the ladder for these people to chase Shen Hao.
Among them, Zhu Shou was the focus of "care". This is because among the people who are close to Shen Shaxing, only Zhu Shou is not a member of Xuan Qingwei's establishment. He has the least status restrictions and is the most suitable to come out to matchmaking.
"Master Zhu, you need to help me with this matter! As long as you can invite Master Shen, introduce me, even if you have a cup of tea, I will remember you as a favor! How about it?"
In the wing room of a newly opened restaurant, three round middle-aged men were pouring wine for Zhu Shou who was sitting in the top seat with smiles on their faces. Their faces were full of obvious expectations.
On the other hand, although Zhu Shou also had a smile on his face, there was a flash of caution in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Why are you all suddenly so interested in Mr. Shen?"
"Hey, it's a rare opportunity. Now that we are familiar, it will be easier to get in touch with Master Shen in the future. Master Zhu and Master Shen are familiar with each other. You must help us with this favor!"
Seeing that Zhu Shou didn't talk to him, the three of them looked at each other, and one of them simply clarified: "Master Zhu, Master Shen is going to be promoted?"
