Zhang Ye's face darkened even more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Once the imperial court mobilizes troops, the important strategic position of Linzhou will be highlighted. At that time, he will definitely participate in the military support work in the Linzhou section. It was a very important errand: he had to find a place to store it in the ruined city, when the heavy grain was in abundance; Not long after the destruction of the city, he had to appease the people, gather labor, maintain order in the city while resuming production, and send people to assist in transportation; There are all kinds of hidden dangers on the post road to the north, and he not only has to take advantage of the opportunity of spring to repair the road, but also to arrest thieves and prevent thieves, so as not to go wrong on the road again; Speaking of the beginning of spring, although Linzhou is a commercial city, there are also some fields nearby, not to mention the two counties under its jurisdiction, and it cannot be delayed to persuade farmers and mulberries......
No matter what, Zhang Ye has also worked here for half a year, and the princes in the court should use him to support the past than to find a person who doesn't know the situation at all to take office in a hurry. In this way, the impact of the tragedy on him will be minimized; As for the disposal, eighty percent of them came to the official document to reprimand him, and then accused him of making meritorious contributions, and the matter was revealed.
If war is waged, the attention of public opinion will be focused on military affairs. Ordinary people are concerned about whether this battle can be won, whether they can take revenge, whether they will levy more money and food, and whether their relatives can come back alive; The people in the temple are concerned about the distribution of merit, the decency of the court, and at most think about who to throw the pot on in case of defeat.
In this way, who would pay attention to him as a state acquaintance who survived by luck? Even if the war is unfavorable and Zhang Ye becomes a member of the "back-pot army", people will not settle old accounts with him. After all, it was the idea of the imperial court to continue to use him, and if he came back to investigate the responsibility for breaking the city in Linzhou, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the imperial court? Knowing that he is a treacherous villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and puts him in such an important position, at least he doesn't know anyone, right?
And all this was based on the preparation of the Great Rui Dynasty to engage in war with Beihu. Now, the imperial court, which is unable to conquer, is ready to settle the matter, at least in the short term, there will be no large-scale military action. That means he's finished.
The imperial court needs a step, and the anger of the people also needs an outlet. As a direct party, Zhang Ye simply has his own "scapegoat" attribute, and he is the most suitable back-erder!
Zhang Ye said that he was ordered to make an inspection, but the officials and scholars who were in a state of anger would definitely say that he had left his post without permission, was cowardly in the face of the enemy, and would fabricate accusations in various ways. At that time, even if he was full of mouths, he would not be able to explain things clearly. The Lord Zhizhou who died in the line of duty will be set up as a positive example of dedication to duty and righteousness, and if he doesn't do it well, he can be posthumously awarded and his name will go down in history.
That's the difference.
As for the disposal plan, he didn't dare to think about it. It is simply impossible to dismiss or stay in office, and the best result is to roll up the bunk again and return to Puhua Town. If it doesn't work properly or if a big guy speaks, he might lose his head.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Ye, who was ashamed, raised his head and said solemnly: "What the prince said is very true, this official has indeed reached a desperate situation...... If Childe has a good plan, please ask me! β
With that, he bowed solemnly.
Xiao Jing hurriedly said that he didn't dare. When Zhang Ye returned to his seat, he muttered: "This matter has dragged on for too long, and the adult's response is too passive, and I don't know if it's too late." The imperial court has not dealt with it before, and it is estimated that it is arguing about war or peace, so it delayed the matter. Nowadays, the statement in the newspaper is very clear, and there will not be much time left for you. All I can do is make amends and give it a try. β
Zhang Ye nodded. What else can I say at the moment, isn't it just a dead horse as a live horse doctor?
Xiao Jing said again: "After the tragedy, do you have any political achievements that you can handle?" β
Zhang Ye was happy first. In this era of backward means of communication, the capital is the center of public opinion. The Mirror newspaper has a great influence in Ruidu, and if the newspaper can publish a report that is favorable to him, it will undoubtedly help him win the hearts of the people and help him save the situation.
However, he soon looked embarrassed again. He is the only living person left in the leading body, and the administrative organs are basically in a state of semi-paralysis, and the two months of administration are only better than nothing, and there is really nothing worth mentioning.
If you have to talk about political achievements, it is that Linzhou City is quite stable, at least there is no chaos. But is this just a passing grade for being a magistrate? Who would take it out and blow the atmosphere after passing the exam, doesn't that make people laugh off their big teeth?
Besides, some of the so-called righteous gentlemen have a deep prejudice against the Mirror News. Asking the newspaper to help is tantamount to putting out a fire. If you don't get it right, it will backfire.
Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Xiao Jing couldn't help but shake his head.
Saying good things to people is just a gesture for the media. As long as the reporter wants to write, any bird that does not lay eggs can pick out a shining point. Take a city as an example, the hardware is bull B, and the newspaper can blow the hardware; The hardware is not good, but the management level is high, and the newspaper can blow the governance of the government; Hardware and management are not successful, and they can blow the people's simple customs or rich cultural heritage. Even if none of this is possible, as long as the people have the heart, they can boast about how the morale of the people is high and how they can work together.
In short, the shining point is like water in a sponge, and it is also like the "career line" of female stars. Squeeze it, there will always be. It's not without places that are truly lackluster and make people fall asleep when they look at them, but there may be one or two such places in a hundred cities.
Unfortunately, he caught up with such one.
From the street, you can vaguely see the prosperity of Linzhou in the past. But what about now? Xiao Jing's "a broken wall" may be an exaggeration, but to say that it is full of decay and withering, it is absolutely appropriate.
The government is basically lying on its back, and the people are also bitter and hateful, and they are very desperate about the prospects. In such a place, he didn't know what to write to boast about.
If you have to write, you can only make it up! It's a pity that Xiao Jing is a very disciplined media person, any news must be based on facts, who wants to make up stories and smash their own brand?
Seeing him frowning, Zhang Ye's heart was even more uneasy. He coughed lightly and said cautiously: "Dare to ask the son, but do you want to publish the deeds of this official in the newspaper?" β
His expression was a little apprehensive and a little expectant.
Xiao Jing only glanced at him, and then he understood the little ninety-nine in his heart. Although the newspaper is a life-saving straw, people are also "both used and prevented", and they dare not bet all the treasures up. It's not hard to understand that if he gets a lot of criticism from those who hate newspapers, he'll just die faster, and anyone should be a little more careful.
"Of course not, please rest assured." Xiao Jing smiled and said: "You don't know, even if you say good things, you won't directly say how you are, so you will fall behind." As long as the situation in Linzhou is good, we write it truthfully, who doesn't know that it is the credit of adults? To tell you the truth, Xiao didn't intend to mention your name in the first place. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I don't even have to write about it, then it's embarrassing......"
Under his strict requirements, the reporters never made a mistake in the news they wrote. Even those who attack the newspaper know very well in their hearts: the mirror newspaper is not making up fake news as they say!
So, this newspaper has an excellent reputation. In people's minds, it is very credible.
If the Mirror newspaper only describes the situation on the ground truthfully, even if it is known that it has the intention of influencing public opinion, what can others do?
Zhang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on his face. He looked at Xiao Jing approvingly, stroked his beard and said, "This is very comprehensive." Excuse me, what does Childe need to do? β
Xiao Jing sighed and said calmly, "I need you to do a lot of things. The first thing is to do your part. Of course, you are not in good health and it is inconvenient to see things, but this is all burning eyebrows, if you can't just seize the day to make amends, no one can help you. β
Zhang Ye, who has read countless people, doesn't know how to answer. Although people's words are very polite, there is inevitably a sense of reproach in and out of the words. No matter what, he is also an official, and he is a little crying and laughing when he is complained about by a hairy guy.
What Zhang Ye didn't know was that Xiao Jing's stubborn temper came up again.
He came to Mr. Zhang, is it really for the so-called "hometown affection"? Of course not!
Xiao Jing came to the interview on behalf of the newspaper. The state knows whether Zhang Ye is dead or alive, and it is about him? He writes a few reports and goes back to the newspaper to complete the task, so why bother with it?
Even if the newspaper did any negative reports, the convicted Mr. Zhang couldn't blame the head of the mirror newspaper, because Linzhou was that tattered; Besides, if you step on his feet too much, there are not many mirrors at all.
Xiao Jing is so concerned, it's not for the people of Linzhou!
The new officials may arrive tomorrow, perhaps next month, or later; And the situation in Linzhou is already terrible, and it can even be described as "erosion", and it can't wait at all. If it drags on any longer, it might really become a ghost town!
As the sole person in charge of the "caretaker government", Zhang Ye is full of thoughts about his own future, which is really despicable. However, if Xiao Jing wants to make a difference, he must also rely on his identity and strength. Therefore, Xiao Jingcai, who has always been clean and self-conscious, came to the state government in order to help him cheer up, so as to find a way to reverse the current situation.
Mr. Zhang was still worried that the mirror newspaper would publish his name directly...... Jokes, Xiao Jing won't be angry with this kind of person, even if you are willing, Lao Tzu is not happy!
After all, Zhang Ye has a request for others. Facing Xiao Jing's sharp gaze, he could only laugh dryly twice and said, "What Gongzi said is very true. I will do everything in my power to ......"
Xiao Jing quietly waited for him to finish the big list of fake and empty clichΓ©s before he said: "If the aftermath can be done well, Linzhou will be very fortunate and the people will be very happy." My lord, I can only stay here for a maximum of ten days, and how many manpower can you muster in these ten days? β
