When Liu Changan, the prefect of Lu'an, entered the room, Xu Qingyan had already gotten up and stood behind Zhao Junchen, and after seeing Liu Changan, he glared at Liu Changan fiercely. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)
Obviously, Liu Changan's sudden visit actually interrupted his conversation with Zhao Junchen, and Xu Qingyan was very dissatisfied with this.
For Xu Qingyan's rudeness, Liu Changan did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, at least he did not show his dissatisfaction on his face, but smiled at Xu Qingyan, and then knelt in front of Zhao Junchen, and said respectfully: "I have seen the adult, I heard that after you got up, the lower official was anxious about the adult's body, so he rushed here, and now he sees that the adult is in good health and full of energy, and the lower official is relieved, but it is abrupt, if you disturb the adult, please forgive me." ”
Zhao Junchen smiled: "How come, Lord Liu cares about me, if I blame Lord Liu instead, wouldn't it be a revenge for virtue?" Get up quickly, this is not a yamen, you don't need so many rules, sit down and talk. ”
After a night of buffering and preparation, although Zhao Junchen is still a little uncomfortable with his new identity, he is already decent between the officialdom and the courtesy.
After Liu Changan was polite, he finally sat down in front of Zhao Junchen, with a sincere smile on his face, and said: "It's the lower official who is confused, although you are still young, your lord, but you are virtuous and open-minded, which is recognized by the world in the world, and even His Majesty has praised it today, and he will not blame his subordinates for a little thing, and because of this, it has always been an honor for the lower officials to be able to work under the command of adults." ”
Hearing Liu Changan say this, Zhao Junchen was speechless for a while, if it weren't for the fact that he already had a little understanding of Liu Changan's background, Zhao Junchen thought that these words were ridiculing him.
The way of thick black has been exerted to the extreme in officialdom, and Zhao Junchen still needs to slowly adapt to this.
However, Zhao Junchen also knew that the main purpose of Liu Chang'an saying this was to test Zhao Junchen's mind and see if Zhao Junchen would still be angry with the officials of Lu'an Mansion for the attack yesterday after receiving 100,000 taels of silver.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen said: "I have always been informal, if I pay too much attention to those small things, where can I do big things?" So, some small things, after the past, are over, don't worry too much. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Liu Changan's face flashed with joy, nodded again and again, and said: "What the lord said is that when you look forward, you should focus on big things, and the adults are free and easy, broad-minded, and the lower officials admire it." Nowadays, the biggest thing in Lu'an Mansion is the relief of the victims under the locust plague, and this matter is personally responsible for the adults, which is the safest, and I, Lu'an Mansion, will inevitably take the lead of the adults. ”
Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded, but he didn't answer, just thinking about how he should deal with these Lu'an Mansion officials led by Liu Changan.
Zhao Junchen has already made up his mind to take this opportunity to preside over the disaster relief in Lu'an Mansion to slowly improve his reputation among the government and the opposition and reverse the unfavorable situation, but as Xu Qingyan said before, I am afraid that there are no good people in the officials of Lu'an Mansion, let them do things, they must be allowed to get some benefits, otherwise it will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also cause resentment among these people, which is not conducive to Zhao Junchen's future plans.
As for how to satisfy the greed of these officials while helping the victims, Zhao Junchen has already made a general plan after careful consideration, but after all, the plan is based on assumptions, and he does not know about the disaster situation in Lu'an Mansion, whether the plan is realistic, and how to persuade the officials of Lu'an Mansion to agree, Zhao Junchen has not yet thought about it properly.
Thinking so, Zhao Junchen felt that he should go to the people to investigate.
On the other side, Liu Changan saw that Zhao Junchen was silent, but he misunderstood Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "However, although you are broad-minded, but the people who attacked your lord are really hateful, and the lower officials think that they can't let them go lightly, attacking Qincha, this is the crime of rebellion, raiding the house and beheading, the crime is unforgivable!" ”
Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, then he remembered those who attacked him, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Those ...... Kindness...... Diao people, just lock them up first, don't abuse them, after a few days the Japanese officials will personally interrogate, the people are simple, rashly attack the officials, maybe they will be bewitched by others, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
Liu Changan was slightly stunned, then nodded again, and said: "My lord is wise, what he said is very true, but it is the negligence of the lower officials." ”
Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said: "It's good if you understand, speaking of which, the court's disaster relief grain and grass is estimated to be coming in the next two days, but the official is in charge of disaster relief, but he still doesn't know about the current disaster situation in Lu'an Mansion. ”
"My lord is dedicated to the country, and he is really a model for hundreds of officials in the court." Liu Changan's sycophants were one after another, and after patting the sycophants, he promised: "Your Excellency is inspecting the disaster area today, please rest assured, the lower officials will be well prepared, like yesterday's attack on adults, it will never happen again." ”
Zhao Junchen said: "This is the best, but today's inspection is different from yesterday, you and I are ordinary people, just a private visit, no need to make a big fanfare, and no need to alarm other officials." ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Liu Changan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, and then said goodbye to Zhao Junchen and changed his clothes.
Looking at the back of Liu Chang'an's departure, Zhao Junchen suddenly found an advantage in this person, that is, there is no principle, Zhao Junchen is whatever he says, and he will never object.
Compared with Liu Changan, Xu Qingyan is much worse at this point.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Changan left, Xu Qingyan said impatiently to Zhao Junchen: "Young master, you were attacked by Diao Min yesterday, why do you have to pay a private visit to Weifu today?" It's too dangerous. If you want me to say, the inspection of the disaster is just for other people to see, and even if you want to go, you can't be convinced. ”
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I think that Liu Changan is doing things safely, even if it is a micro-service, he will inevitably arrange for the guards to accompany him secretly, not to mention, once I take off my official uniform and hat, no one will recognize it, things like yesterday will not happen, there will be no danger, you can rest assured, I really want to help the victims of the disaster this time, how can I do it if I don't understand the situation?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Junchen had made up his mind, Xu Qingyan had no choice but to find an ordinary dress that was not very conspicuous and waited for Zhao Junchen to put it on.
On the other side, Zhao Junchen said to Xu Qingyan while getting dressed: "Also, you have to remember that in the future, be polite to those big and small officials, after all, they are Ming officials, and most of them are corrupt officials, as the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain, according to you, you have offended a group of villains in one breath, once we have something in the future, not only will no one help us, but we will also be thrown into the well, and there will be no chance to turn over, and there will be no place to buy regret medicine when the time comes." In the future, we must not only improve our reputation among the government and the opposition, but also try our best to make friends with these friends, and even if we can't make friends, we can't offend them unless we have to. ”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "In the past two days, I want to entertain the officials of Lu'an Mansion, you were too presumptuous to them yesterday, and you will personally apologize to them when the time comes, you can't be lazy, do you know?" ”
Xu Qingyan nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Got it." ”
Zhao Junchen sighed and said: "Don't be unconvinced, these things must be paid attention to in the future, people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, one more friend is always better than one enemy." ”
……
After Zhao Junchen came to Lu'an Mansion, Liu Changan vacated his own house for Zhao Junchen to live temporarily, and he himself took his family to live in another courtyard.
Because of this, when Zhao Junchen cleaned up, Liu Changan was already dressed as a housekeeper and waiting outside the door.
The three of them took a few servants and guards who were also dressed as ordinary people, and after leaving Liu Changan's house, they rode out of the city in a carriage.
Along the way, Zhao Junchen learned a lot about the local disaster from Liu Changan.
As the saying goes, the drought is extreme and the locusts are in, this year, there have not been a few rains in Lu'an Fuzuo, and the local irrigation conditions are okay, although the harvest is poor, but at least it can survive.
However, it didn't take long for the people of Lu'an Province to work hard for a year to cultivate the little bit of food, and it was eaten by the locusts in a few days, and at that time, the disaster was already obvious.
In fact, after the locusts were found in Lu'an Mansion, Liu Changan had already asked the imperial court for relief of grain and grass, and even so, it was too late.
By now, it is even more severe, and the locust plague has intensified, not only ravaging Lu'an Mansion, but also beginning to spread to Taiyuan, Hedong and other places.
Perhaps, after a while, the imperial court's relief grain will be allocated to Taiyuan, Hedong and other places.
After hearing Liu Changan's introduction, Zhao Junchen's face was stern, but he didn't expect that this locust plague would be much stricter than he imagined, he thought it was just a disaster in Lu'an Mansion, but he didn't expect it to spread to the entire Shanxi Province.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Junchen asked, "Is this locust plague really uncontrollable?" If more people can be sent to kill the locusts, the locust plague will always spread more slowly, and the people can recover some of the grain they have cultivated for a year. ”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, not only Liu Changan, but even Xu Qingyan looked at Zhao Junchen with a shocked face, as if Zhao Junchen had said something rebellious.
Then, their explanation made Zhao Junchen even more dumbfounded.
