Chapter 415: Commitment
Juyi Township from a homeless people gathering township, to the scale of nearly 500 households today, in all fairness, Chen Jin is not bad, and even can be said to be very good, in this Juyi Township walked around, all kinds of water conservancy, roads can be said to be built very perfect, most of the townships do not have special shops, there is no need, but Juyi Township has five, although they are all received from here, and then go to the city to sell, and then from the city will take back the goods that the villagers need to sell, but this, the general cottage does not have.
Chen Jin has paved the way for the planning of the township and the future development of Juyi Township, and the foundation has been consolidated.
Chen Mo believes that under his governance, the existing county will definitely not be able to accommodate more people in the future, and the emergence of a new county seat is inevitable, and this Juyi Township may have this potential.
"Well done." When he returned to Chen Jin's home here, Chen Mo patted Chen Jin on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"The child still has a lot of shortcomings, and I hope that his father will give him advice." Chen Jin said respectfully.
"In fact, half a year after you were here, your name was in the first list of the third elders, but in the end, I suppressed it." Chen Mo nodded, looked at Chen Jin and said with a smile: "One year is not enough time for you to experience the hardships of the people and the livelihood of the people, now it seems that you are qualified, and those who pay attention to you, I am afraid it will be difficult to know your whereabouts now." ”
Chen Jin nodded silently, born in a wealthy family, although he can enjoy things that ordinary people can't enjoy, but he is also careful step by step, Chen Mo has worked hard to let Chen Jin quietly enter the office without being noticed.
"Among them, of course, there is the meaning of avoiding people's eyes and ears, but I also hope that you can understand more about civil, the people are the foundation of the country, when the people's lives are not guaranteed, turmoil will follow, these four years, you have done a good job, now under the Central Plains, many local officials are insufficient, and then there will be a large number of three elders, county officials are sent to the Central Plains to take over the county order, county officials and other positions, you have been meritorious in governing the local government in the past four years, plus the imperial court is now urgently employing people, will be exceptionally promoted to the position of county magistrate, but the place may not be too good." Chen Mo looked at Chen Jin and smiled.
"I'm not afraid of hardship." Chen Jin bowed.
The county magistrate is not the county order, which means that the county seat is not more than 10,000 households, which is not big, but for a third elder, this is a leap.
"This county magistrate is different from the three elders, this Juyi Township is well governed, but only hundreds of households, and a county, there are at least thousands of households, things in the county are different from this countryside, and there are local gentry, rural clans all parties need to coordinate, you are not bad at doing things, but you can only do things, starting from the county magistrate, you have to learn not only to do things, but also to be able to be a person, will be the emperor, look down from a high place and look up from a low place, even if it is the same thing, what falls into your eyes is different, you can do a good job in the position of county magistrate, There is more to carry on this shoulder. Chen Mo walked away, casually talking about some trivial matters.
Although he has never made a county order, but when he was a teenager, he followed Zang Hong to deal with county affairs, many things are not as simple as they sound, in the Zang Hong era, if you want to deal with county affairs, you must first have a good relationship with the local gentry and wealthy families, Zang Hong was famous back then, so it was quite smooth, but if you don't have a reputation, it will be even more difficult.
The current Chen Jin is too upright, not that it is bad, but as the heir of Chen Mo in the future, he can't just know the right, in this power struggle, there is too much dirt and darkness, just relying on a righteous spirit to influence people, that's just imagination, you still have to understand treachery, know how to compromise, just these things, you have to understand them yourself, in other words, it is difficult for people to really understand, only if you have experienced it yourself, many things will be self-taught.
"The child understands." Chen Jin nodded.
"No, you don't understand." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "This time I will be promoted to the county order, I will give you a few things to save your life, but I don't want you to use it, what I can give you is not your own after all." ”
Chen Jin frowned and said: "Father, my Han is now a clear and honest official, and the child is canonized by the imperial court, so he won't worry about his life anyway, right?" ”
"If you ask like this, you don't understand, let's talk about it then, after the handover of things here, I will return to the DPRK, and I will prepare for the New Year, and the things I will prepare for you will probably be almost ready." Chen Mo patted Chen Jin's shoulder and smiled.
"Whoa!" Chen Jin suppressed the doubts in his heart and bowed.
"Okay, your mother has been tired all the way, in order to avoid suspicion, after this farewell, I am still going to go to the Central Plains to inspect it, I have to rest early, continue to be your third elder, and do things from beginning to end." Chen Mo smiled.
"Whoa!"
Chen Jin asked his servants to help Chen Mo and Cai Yan prepare a sumptuous dinner, and he was used to eating the delicacies of Luoyang, and now he has a unique flavor when he eats some of the things he often eats in the countryside.
However, to Chen Mo's surprise, the lady, who should have been tired, was quite excited this night, and she was obsessed with Chen Mo for a long time, before she collapsed softly in Chen Mo's arms and let Chen Mo help her wipe off the fragrant man.
"What's going on tonight?" Chen Mo patted his wife's back, enjoying the afterglow, and asked with a smile.
"Husband, have you noticed that Jin'er has lost weight." Cai Yan lay in Chen Mo's arms, looked up at Chen Mo, and let Chen Mo play with him.
"It's thin, but people are more energetic." Chen Mo nodded, although he didn't have much time to talk to his son, but Chen Mo knew his son's state better than Cai Yan, and he didn't know what the mother was talking about with her son for a long time.
"The concubine knows that her husband intends to sharpen Jin'er, but is this kind of tempering a little too much?" Cai Yan said with some distress.
"You, a loving mother, are so defeated." Chen Mo groped for the soft glutinous in his hand, sighed and said: "If you want him to stay by your side only, and after a hundred years of husband in the future, Zheng'er or Rui'er will take over my inheritance, then I will recall him, brocade clothes and jade food, always by his side, is Madam willing?" ”
Cai Yan was silent, as the eldest woman in the family, the female monarch, Cai Yan has been able to rejoice with Chen's mother for so many years, and can get along well with a group of sisters, not because of her background, but because she is fair, but no matter how fair she is, people are selfish after all, although Chen Jin, Chen Zheng, and Chen Rui are all Chen Mo's sons, but only Chen Jin is her son, and Cai Yan is naturally unwilling to let her son give up Chen Mo's inheritance rights in the future.
"You and I are both erudite people, where does this knowledge come from?" Chen Mo saw that his wife was depressed and asked with a smile.
"It comes from hard reading." Cai Yan said in a low voice.
"Yes, because I have to study hard, I can have the envy of knowledge, and everything in this world can only be obtained by giving up." Chen Mo patted his wife's softness and said with a smile: "But this knowledge is relatively fair, the family is poor, if you want to learn something, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will eventually achieve something, but inheriting the family business is not like this, especially my family business, I don't have a certain ability, even if I reluctantly let him inherit it, he can't keep it, this thing is not just good at learning, many things can't be learned on the books, if you want to keep the family business, and even make my Chen family more brilliant, he has to bear and experience, it is destined to be a hundred times more than ordinary people, a thousand times." What I gave him was a relatively safe path, at least not life-threatening. ”
"What the husband said is very true, it is the concubine ......," Cai Yan said in a low voice.
"Mother loves children, there is nothing wrong, my mother never wants me to have much success, I just hope that I will live a safe life, but they have their own way to go, and you can't be by his side all your life, you have to learn to let go, let him go on his own, and when he really needs help, we will help." Chen Mo smiled and helped Cai Yan pull the brushed quilt.
"Husband, Zheng'er's marriage ......" Cai Yan suddenly thought of something and asked.
"I think this kid has already tasted it, as for marriage, the family background is innocent, as long as the character is good, to the point where I wait, there is no need to deliberately pursue the right person, sometimes the right person, for him, it may not be a good thing." Chen Mo looked at the beams above his head and sighed.
"Can this be seen too?" Cai Yan looked at Chen Mo in surprise, she knew whether a woman had some characteristics of human affairs, but she had never heard of a man who could see it.
"Looks, I specially asked the maid to try it today, this man, even if he looks serious, there are still some nuances in the reaction to these things after personnel and non-personnel, this kid, not only has he experienced, but also a lot!" Chen Mo said with a smile, there are some things that I have experienced a lot, and it is accurate to look at people.
Cai Yan looked at Chen Mo a little speechlessly: "What your husband has learned is really extensive. ”
"Cough~" Chen Mo coughed lightly and laughed: "The flight posture of the eagle and the young eagle who have experienced the wind and rain are different, these things, as long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to see, the lust is not lewd, but the husband is also, now it seems that Jin'er has not indulged in it, very good." ”
"Has that husband ever been addicted?" Cai Yan chuckled.
"If your husband is not addicted, doesn't Mrs. know?" Chen Mo pinched it, and then said with a smile: "But I have really thought of some ways recently, if Madame doesn't want to rest, would you like to try it with your husband?" ”
"Wow, my husband is always so unorthodox." Rao is already an old husband and wife, and in the face of Chen Mo's unscrupulous flirtation, Cai Yan's temperament is still a little unbearable.
"Haha~"
Chen Mo laughed out loud and lifted the silk quilt......
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Chen Mo and Cai Yan packed up and prepared to set off.
"That's it, you don't have to send each other, remember to go home at the end of the year." Zhuangkou, Chen Mo hugged his son, looked at him and said, "Don't let your mother always worry, other things, wait for the New Year to come back, and then talk about it in detail." ”
"Father, don't worry, the child has written it down!"
"Gone."
"Congratulations to my father!"
