Guo Qizhi came to Guo's mansion, and each family had its own rules, and the clansmen who were officials would move out of the mansion to live.

First, it is because he wants to avoid suspicion, and secondly, after becoming an official, there are too many trivial matters between relatives, and many times it is difficult to excuse himself because of his feelings.

Not everyone can be as free as Xiao Wang.

National law, family law, and love law, when enjoying the benefits brought by rights, most people are avoiding obligations.

Unless it is Lao Tzu and his son, he has to find a new house by himself after becoming an official, and then continue to accumulate money, collect land, form a new family, and spread out.

Guo Juli's home is a large courtyard, smaller than Wang Lanling's house of more than 800 square meters, but it is a neat six-story building.

In addition to Lao Guo's own wives and concubines, children and grandchildren, there were also hired laborers and some poor relatives who were servants.

The word "almsgiving" is rare in the new society, but in ancient times, large families often had poor relatives who defected.

Some of them are to give some food and drink and send them away, and some are to stay first, help out, and arrange work.

Guo Qizhi soon met Guo Juli in the study.

Guo Juli, whom Wang Lanling knows, has always been an old man who lives a mess, and he usually doesn't care about any low-key idle things.

But Guo Juli in his own house, wearing a pompous brocade dress, dressed meticulously, stepping on shiny leather shoes under his feet, and wearing a Lingxi belt of more than 100 yuan around his waist.

He is a strong man, holding a cigarette gun in one hand and two jade projectiles in the other, and he is also one of the few bearded officials in Heishui County.

Because the residents of Heishui County have migrated from the military area on the other side of the cliff pass, most of them are tall and fat.

It's not the kind of fitness body of modern people, it's the kind of thick body with a big belly, long arms, and a tall person.

There must be a reason why the general's belly is called the general's belly.

Whether it is eating habits or customs, Heishui County is biased towards military affairs, so most people's appearance and height are obviously different from those in Yunshui County.

This is an ordinary person, and the rich and noble families yearn for a high-level life, deviating from the original culture and habits, and their spiritual outlook and true appearance have also undergone obvious changes.

Wang Lanling's younger generation, and Guo Juli's older generation, have obvious differences in figure and appearance.

Guo Juli's son and Liu Fufeng are also like this, this is a change of the times, and it cannot be described simply as good or bad.

Guo Juli in Guo Qizhi's eyes is now Guo Juli in the eyes of his own family.

Guo Juli in the eyes of Wang Lanling is Guo Juli in the eyes of outsiders.

"Then Wang Xiao'er really said that?" After Guo Juli understood what Wang Lanling meant, he asked uncertainly.

Don't look at the fact that he has a good relationship with Wang Lanling when he is outside, like a New Year's friend, but in private, Guo Juli is not so friendly to Wang Lanling.

Guo Qizhi was not surprised, and said affirmatively: "It's true, I asked people to inquire, my relatives in the Wang family told me, and now the people of the Wang family are in a meeting, and the old lady Wang personally speaks and chooses people to go to labor." ”

Guo Juli didn't spin the ball anymore, took a puff of cigarette, and his face was full of cautious looks.

"This Wang Xiao'er is really going to do big things."

Guo Qizhi quickly said: "Now that Wang Lanling is gaining momentum, and you have a good relationship with him, why don't we take advantage of the wind?" ”

Guo Juli spat out the smoke and said sadly: "You don't understand, this Wang Xiaoer's rights are tightly grasped, don't look at him on the surface giggling and being kind to others, but secretly he is ruthless, who can get involved in his affairs?" ”

Guo Qizhi hurriedly said: "Isn't he short of people this time?" We send some young people over, and then we will naturally be together, and some places will be able to talk. ”

Lao Guo has been the governor for a while, and he has not intervened in several departments with high oil content.

At present, there is a group of sand in the county, one is the big force dominated by the county order, which is dominated by several high-oil departments, such as the tax department, the city patrol department, the county government, the agriculture and mulberry department, and the official and city department, and is in charge of finance and military affairs.

The second is the two divisions dominated by Wang Lanling, the Environmental Sanitation Department and the Water Affairs Department, one is the emerging test department concerned by the superiors, and the other is the hot black pot that others can't catch.

The third is that all idle departments work behind closed doors, out of the way, and work for whomever they do, such as the craftsman department, the construction department, and the post house.

If Lao Guo wants to be rich, in addition to relying on the Guo family's donation, he must find allies in the officialdom!

An official can't be greedy for money, and the rules and regulations are there.

Only when the superiors and subordinates work together can they work together to break the gold!

Lao Guo lacks political allies, several departments with high oil content are controlled by county orders, and several other departments are now waiting and watching.

If you don't care about anything and don't do anything, then you have no prestige, you are a face-to-face guy, and you are a clay man.

Let's eat together, brag and brag, and expect others to be in the same camp with you, do shady things together, or do troublesome things for you, then don't think about it.

These people who have been officials for more than ten years or decades are all human spirits.

Lao Guo lacks prestige, and others are unwilling to take refuge in him.

The county order will leave after three years, his industry can't be taken away, and he is a foreigner.

So it is a wait-and-see, but the heads of several departments in the county are all looking at Wang Lanling.

The situation is fiercely contested, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, mutual deceit and deceit each other, and the slightest carelessness in the handling of complex interest relations will cause all kinds of backlash.

Although Lao Guo is the governor, it is too late to do anything, and others don't think that he is a person who can do great things, let alone believe that this old man can provide them with protection.

Prestige!

Where does the prestige of a person who has become a habit and who never wants to offend others come from? At home?

The prestige in the army is created, and the prestige in the officialdom is accumulated from all aspects.

The most obvious is the exclusion of dissidents!

Lao Guo sighed, "Talkable?" You're underestimating that! ”

"Where is he trying to win us over, he's forcing a few families in the city to stand in line!"

"Since taking office, this miscellaneous has relied on the people above to establish prestige, and now that the county order is not there, he has the law of conscription, and his roots have been stabilized."

"Today, he drove out those people from the Water Affairs Department is the first step, and if any family in the city does not stand on his side, I am afraid that when it is a conscription, he will dig the river and dig it together!"

Guo Qizhi didn't feel so serious, "It's just the Water Affairs Division, how much movement can there be, and a few in this city have already experienced it a few times, and everyone is ruthless." ”

Guo Juli sighed again, "That dog baby is really ruthless, and he deceived you all quietly, do you know how big he opened this time for conscription?" At least 10,000! Where are these 10,000 people going to dig up the river, he is going to dig up the roots of other people's homes! ”

Guo Qizhi was shocked, before he came here, he always thought that this was a good thing, thinking that he could let some people in his family get an official position.

But Wang Lanling's meaning is almost the same meaning, but the meaning is a little subtly different.

Thinking of this at this time, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, and when I thought about it again, I had a feeling of being peeped at by a tiger in the forest.

"So what's the case now? Are we out or not? Guo Qizhi couldn't see through Wang Lanling's operation, and even if he wanted to surrender at this time, he didn't know how to find a way.

Surrender is a technical job, the day the technology is poor, the day will die, the technology is good will be reused, better than the previous mix.

Guo Juli is also thinking about this problem, there is an essential conflict of interests between him and Wang Lanling, even if he wants to be a peacemaker, his family and the consumption power that has been improved because of his promotion to governor will not agree.

This contradiction is irreconcilable, and Wang Lanling is not a person who will delegate power.

The dung division itself is the control area of the governor's department, although Wang Lanling is close to Guo Juli, he does not give Guo Juli any chance to gain the upper hand at all, and usually gets along with him and calls him Lao Guo in front of others! Even if they eat together, they will call Lao Guo to pay!

It's not a matter of title, it's a matter of attitude!

This is also one of the reasons why others don't regard Guo Juli as a governor, of course Lao Guo hates this kid!

"I'll figure it out!"

Guo Juli has reached the time when he must fight!
