Chapter 1077: Find a big umbrella to cover him

"Yang Kai, do you think, where is the best place for someone like Wu Jin to put him?" Li Ze looked at Yang Kai in front of him and asked.

Yang Kai thought for a while and said, "Li Xiang, I think people like Wu Jin are suitable for studying and becoming a teacher, just like Cao Zhang, who is dedicated to studying."

Li Ze looked at Yang Kai thoughtfully: "It seems that you are afraid of him too?"

"Why am I afraid of him?" Yang Kai laughed: "Li Xiang, don't look at me with old eyes. When I was young, I was indeed greedy for money, but now, I am no longer the Yang Kai who was in the past."

"Is that true?" Li Ze laughed.

"Of course!" Yang Kai said seriously: "Besides, my family is not short of money now. In Wuyi, my family has 500 acres of land, and I also bought more than ten stores. I will add my salary every year, which is less than 100,000 silver dollars, so I am not short of money."

"Of course I know your situation, but what I'm very strange is that with your current position, if you want to get more money, I mean that legal is not difficult. Why don't you? As far as I know, many large trading companies and workshops have taken the initiative to give you shares!" Li Ze said.

Yang Kai smiled and said, "Li Xiang, there is a conflict in your words. If it is because of my current location, then the money will be illegal. If a person like me really has a name in that trading company workshop, even if I don't do anything, I may provide them with countless conveniences."

"Your statement coincides with Wu Jin." Li Ze said. "It seems that you also know the crux of these problems."

"Yes, I know." Yang Kai said: "But I don't participate. When the old man passed away three years ago, he warned me that to be as good as me, too much wealth is a sin. And to be as good as me, Guan'er should have further pursuits. You also know that I just got a scholar exam. Although the old man did not pass the Jinshi, he was also a student of the Imperial Academy who was a regular student, and his knowledge was much deeper than mine."

"Are you pursuing history to leave your name?" Li Ze laughed.

"Of course. If one person is enlightened, the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven, you are the one who has enlightened you. I have all achieved this. I said I don't want to leave a name in history. Isn't that hypocritical? I think I have left a good reputation in history, which is much worth more than I left for my descendants." Yang Kai said frankly.

"The chief minister of the Censorate and the deputy leader of Yixing Society, don't say anything like this." Li Ze waved his hand.

"Li Xiang, Yang Kai is not flattering you. After getting along with you for so many years, I have known that flattering you will not play any role." Yang Kai said seriously: "So over the years, I have been studying hard and keeping up with you. I am not as good as Mr. Gongsun, not as good as Zhang Hui, and not as powerful as Tu Lichun Shizhuang and others on the battlefield. I am not even as good as Xu Wuying, Xu Ziyuan and other rising stars in governing the local area, so I can only try to keep up with you in my mind and implement these ideas into every member of Yixing. I think this is the value of my existence."

"You are a self-aware person." Li Ze nodded with emotion: "So, you have made yourself, of course, and at the same time made me. Yixing Society has its current scale and influence today, and you have made great contributions."

Yang Kai smiled proudly and said, "Sang Li, I dare not underestimate myself at this point."

In fact, Yang Kai is not as he said as Li Ze's chicken and dog, and Li Ze has long since seen him like this. Yang Kai can be regarded as Li Ze's entrepreneurial partner. In Yixingshe, Li Ze is the leader, Yang Kai is the well-deserved second-rate figure, and Cao Zhang is a theoretical master. Li Ze proposed a concept, then perfected it and quoted classics to say it well, which is Cao Zhang's business. These three people are the well-deserved three giants in Yixingshe.

"Do you think people like Wu Jin can't be used?" Li Ze said.

Yang Kai nodded and said, "Yes, he offended almost all the officials of the Tang Dynasty. Li Xiang, I won't say anything else. Just the Cao family, the Liu family, the Tu family, the You family, the Hou family, the Wang family, and the Yuan family, which of these people is not your strongest and your pillar? Can you abandon them for Wu Jin?"

Li Ze smiled bitterly.

"In the past, these families, except for the Tu family and Liu family who were also a Yiwen family, followed your steps, gave up thousands of acres of fertile land, and divided a large family into pieces. It is precisely because of the support of these families that you have the opportunity to call the wind and rain in Chengde, and this situation later. Wu Jin's memorial was all over the place. Could it be that after you deprive these people of their land, you will deprive them of their commercial interests? This is impossible."

Li Ze sighed.

"Then do you think what Wu Jin said makes sense?"

"Of course there is a reason." Yang Kai said: "But at least now is not the time to do these things."

"When do you think you can do these things?" Li Ze asked back: "It's true that as Wu Jin said, after he grows into a big poisonous tumor, then scrape his bones to cure the poison?"

Yang Kai thought for a while and said, "Or, wait until your son's generation?"

Li Ze laughed.

Yang Kai didn't laugh.

"Li Xiang, there are problems now, but these problems are controllable, and this is not the most important contradiction now. Our main contradiction now is to unify the world and defeat the Southern Alliance, and to consolidate the Western Regions, annex the Tubo, and do these things, so that the Tang Dynasty will no longer have any great enemies outside, and then rectify internal problems. And I think, after doing these things, it may take us a lifetime."

Li Ze knew that Yang Kai was right.

Now, he really can't do these things.

Everything has a priority and a sequence of priorities.

"But I still have to give these people a warning, telling them that everything must be moderate and have a bottom line. If you break this bottom line, I will never tolerate it." Li Ze said in a low voice.

"How do you want to warn them?" Yang Kai looked at Li Ze and said with some concern.

"I am going to let Wu Jin teach in the School of Political Science and Economics for the first half of the year, and then go back to Yixingshe headquarters to work!" Li Ze said.

"What position do you want to give him? He was originally the deputy deputy of Cangzhou. Cangzhou has a special status, and Wu Jin's level is not low." Yang Kai said.

"Yixing Society has established a special discipline supervision committee to let Wu Jin serve as the deputy secretary of this committee!" Li Ze said: "Yixing Society should also make some rectifications. Now we have passed the stage where anyone can easily join Yixing Society. Those who do not meet our requirements will be expelled."

Yang Kai was shocked: "Then who is the chief of this committee?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you do it, even if it's a nominee, I won't let you do it. The head of this committee is under Cao Zhang's name!" Li Ze snorted.

When he heard it was Cao Zhang, Yang Kai couldn't help laughing.

Cao Zhang is definitely an idealist. He had made a big stir earlier to supervise and restrict the emperor's rights, which caused an uproar. Everyone knew that Li Ze wanted to be the emperor. Cao Zhang's trouble almost went straight to Li Ze. For this matter, the father and son had a big fight at home. Cao Xin had never quarreled with his son, so he showed his father's majesty and punished Cao Zhang to kneel all night.

This guy didn't give in.

Turning back, the couple quarreled again. Li Mi had never quarreled with Cao Zhang, so he punched her turtle. Cao Zhang was exposed to the court with two dark circles. He didn't feel embarrassed, but he made Li Mi hide in the military camp for many days and dared not go out or go home. One was because he was afraid that others would laugh at her as a tigress, and the other was because Cao Xin blamed her.

Only Yang Kai knew that this matter was Li Zeqi's head, but he was just trying to meet Cao Zhang's preferences.

Now that the chief of the Discipline Supervision Commission fell on Cao Zhang's head, he held up a big umbrella for Wu Jin. Wu Jin wanted to punish those members of Yixing who violated the corruption and discipline. Even if they were guys with a deep background, Cao Zhang would definitely dare to endorse Wu Jin.

Cao Zhang's Laozi is Cao Xin and the Minister of Personnel.

Cao Zhang's wife has been promoted to General of Right Qianniu Guard.

Cao Zhang himself is the third person in Yixing Society. He has done such a big deal and still appears in Li Ze's official residence as if he is his own.

Who dares to mess with such a person?

"Li Zang, I'm afraid they will cause trouble!" After laughing, Yang Kai was a little worried again.

"Wu Jin is really worried about the country and the people, but he is not stupid! He jumped out and broke through this sensitive area earlier because he was an official in the local area and did not stand at the center to look at the problem." Li Ze said: "I will have a good talk with him and let him teach the books that he had lasted for a year and a half, and the chapters will also point him out. At different heights, the angle of thinking about problems will naturally be different. The butt will determine the head, so how can he not know the priorities?"

Yang Kai nodded thoughtfully: "This is true. Wu Jin violated the taboo in the officialdom, but you still valued him, and it is still in such a sensitive position. It has shown your attitude. I think many people will restrain themselves."

"That's all." Li Ze sighed: "Concentrate! Or as you said, it's only until my son's generation that we can really deal with this problem."
