Therefore, Zhao Nan's heart was very happy during this time, and to a certain extent, his feelings for Du Jia also changed from hatred to indifference before, and then from indifference to friendliness, and now he has a faint respect and even reverence, which makes him feel incredible, he has lived for so many years, but he didn't expect that the person he admired the most turned out to be a thief.
He even faintly felt that Du Jia's pattern, momentum, and ability were all above the Su Taiwei he admired the most before, and he categorically denied his dangerous idea, but a voice seemed to appear in his heart to tell him that this was true.
After disposing of those guys who have no moral integrity, Zhao Nan promoted many capable newcomers to come up, and then arranged many things in an orderly manner, now he doesn't need to report to the court, second, he doesn't have to think about the messy factional relations, and third, no one dares to hinder him, so the efficiency is extremely high, and in less than a month, he has put the things that he has been unable to complete for several years on the right track, and the rest only needs to be honestly implemented by the follow-up officials in accordance with the regulations.
The common people are happy about this, they have never heard of such a good thing, all of them simply don't believe their eyes, many messy taxes and servitude have been canceled, many corrupt officials and villains in the fish and meat township are directly arrested and put in prison, beheaded, the imperial court has arranged many people to repair bridges and roads, improve various facilities, and special people to help them build water conservancy, etc., this is simply a good thing that I never dreamed of, Therefore, many people spontaneously went to the government office in groups to kowtow to Zhao Nan and chant Zhao Qingtian.
Zhao Nan was also full of emotion in his heart, he didn't expect that he had dreamed of being an official since he was a child, and his wish to benefit one party would come true here, and happiness came so suddenly, which made him also full of emotion.
After arriving at the day of the agreement with Du Jia, Du Jia brought a few relatives and some civilian personnel to Jiangnan Mansion, and invited Mr.
Wang Lan, who was temporarily the governor of Dezhou Mansion, and Wu Yong, who was temporarily the governor of Mengzhou Mansion, to come over, and then treated each other with wine.
During the banquet, Du Jia asked Zhao Nan to talk about the experience and effect of governing Jiangnan Mansion during this time, Wang Lan and Wu Yong couldn't help but listen to it every time, to say that after debating with Du Jia, Wang Lan is now completely convinced of Du Jia, and is willing to continue to operate for the sake of the people, not to mention Wu Yong, but when it comes to how to operate, they still have a big gap compared to Zhao Nan's dignified two Jinshi and Zhengyin prefect, In many cases, it is not necessary to get things done with good intentions, and there is still a lot of distance between the two.
In the past month, they have encountered many specific problems, so they are naturally overjoyed to hear Zhao Nan's explanation and experience, and then ask many questions, Zhao Nan is also patiently explained, and for a while Du Jia has become an outsider, and can only drink and eat food by himself.
After the three of them chatted for a long time, it finally came to an end, and Wang Lan persuaded: "Lord Zhao is really capable, and the governance of this Ping'an Mansion is thriving, and the old man admires it very much, but for the things above the court, the old man has eaten rice for a few more years after all, and he has seen more, Lord Zhao still listens to my advice, wouldn't it be very good to do things for the people here, why do you have to go back to the court, this lost the Ping'an Mansion and executed so many traitorous minions, they will definitely not let you go, even if Lord Su is afraid they won't be able to keep you." ” Zhao Nan stroked his beard and smiled: "I know that Lord Wang has good intentions, but I am different from you after all, you are only the general judge of the Texas Mansion, and you have not yet grasped the real power, when the city was broken, he did not hesitate to die to theorize, he has already done his duty as an official, and now doing things for the people is what my generation should do, but I am the Ping'an Mansion Yin appointed by the dignified court, no matter what the reason, the day the city is broken should also be the time of the Dead Festival, It was already an unexpected surprise to be able to escape with a few lives and let go of his hands and feet to do things for a month, and now he must go back to the court to confess his guilt, even if he loses his official position or even goes to prison, so that he has not wasted the books of sages he has read over the years. ” Wu Yong and Wang Lan persuaded each other again, Zhao Nan just smiled and shook his head, for him, it is enough for him to realize the ambition in his chest to some extent, and under so many years of education, the two things of integrity and loyalty have penetrated into his bone marrow, which cannot be changed no matter what.
Wu Yong and Wang Lan had no choice but to turn their eyes to Du Jia for help, Du Jia looked at Zhao Nan seriously and said slowly: "Lord Zhao seems to have made up his mind, so I don't want to be strong, but I have a word, and I hope Lord Zhao can listen." ” For Du Jia, Zhao Nan can't have the same attitude as Wu Yong Wang Lan, although the faith in his heart keeps warning him that Du Jia is just a strong man and must not listen to him, but in fact, he is equivalent to Du Jia's subordinate for a period of time, and he can show his ambitions in advance It all depends on Du Jia, in addition to this, Du Jia also has a special momentum, as if he is like the Son of Heaven who makes him in awe.
Zhao Nan hurriedly said respectfully: "Jia Shao, please speak, and the lower officials will listen to you." ” Du Jia said unhurriedly: "What Lord Wang said is good, Lord Zhao will be severely punished if he goes back this time without an accident, whether it is your emperor or those traitors such as Cai Jing and Gao Yu, they will not let you go, and even the people of your faction will dissociate themselves from you to show their innocence and nobility."
It's just that I hope that when the day really comes, Lord Zhao can think about the people of the world, and also think about the sages he has read for so many years, in the eyes of Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Laozi, Guanzi, Zhuge Liang, so many saints, whether it is important in the world or a court that has been hopelessly dim, whether it is important for tens of millions of people to live and work in peace and contentment, or it is important for a little bit of their own false name.
I will take these words as a farewell gift to Lord Zhao, and I hope that you will think twice. ” Zhao Nan's heart sank, and he bowed respectfully and said: "Xiaguan has been taught, if there is really a moment, I must think about it, no matter what, Xiaguan has thanked Jia Shao for the hundreds of thousands of people in Ping'an Mansion, their lives now are many times better than before, and I hope Jia Shao can continue to let them live like this, Xiaguan will say goodbye, and a few will not be sent." ” Thirty years of Hedong:
