In order to cooperate with you in deepening the reform, I have asked the imperial court to issue a restriction order. Is this too much to ask? Wang Jingyan laughed.

"You say, that's what you did?" Geng Xiaofan seemed to understand at once.

"I'm not spending less money on this! Including your canal project, I have also lost a lot. You should always make it up to me! "Wang Jingyan is serious.

"But what kind of laboratory are you going to build? What exactly are you going to do? Geng Xiaofan lowered his voice.

Wang Jingyan unhurriedly took out a scroll of brocade silk from her arms, Geng Xiaofan unfolded it, and found that it was the manuscript of Li Shaojun in the cave of Pingle Mountain.

"I seem to have guessed what this is, I think the dozen or so crystal bars in Weiyang Palace must still be in your hands. I'd like to do another experiment. Wang Jingyan's tone was calm and unquestionable.

"You still want to go back?" Geng Xiaofan felt incredible.

"It doesn't matter, just trying to figure something out. Anyway, I'm idle right now, so wouldn't it be interesting to invent a light phone or something? Wang Jingyan began to joke.

"I can promise you, and I can help you, but it must be kept secret, and no third person is allowed to know except you and me. And, as soon as there is something that will benefit the people......"

Geng Xiaofan didn't finish speaking, and was interrupted by Wang Jingyan, "Take it out for free to benefit the people!" Am I the kind of person who is greedy for money? I promise you both. ”

"You choose a location!" Geng Xiaofan sighed helplessly, he felt that this was the real purpose of Sister Jing Yan's visit to Shanggu this time!

Wang Jingyan casually pointed to a small ravine on the side of the construction site, "That's it!" You just find a reason to dig a cave there. ”

"You've been watching it for a long time!" Geng Xiaofan took a look at it and immediately understood.

As long as the canal is repaired, the hill will naturally be encircled, although it cannot be said to be hidden, but it is still a little difficult for ordinary people to think about it. It's the perfect location for a hidden lab!

At this point, Geng Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he did not have a firm foothold in Shanggu, and the main reason for the "smooth" in front of him was that the powerful landlords in Shanggu had not yet figured out his details and did not dare to act rashly.

No intensification does not mean that there is none, Geng Xiaofan feels like a lonely boat, drifting on the vast sea, and he has not capsized for the time being, just because the storm has not yet come.

dared to "reform" strongly, and he mainly relied on the little "prestige" he left in the imperial court, but those were just a gust of east wind, which could only send him on the road, but could not guarantee that he would reach the other side safely. He knew that in order to land safely, he had to make his boat stronger.

Of course, the "masses of the people" are the strongest backing, but he has not yet been able to win trust.

The "bureaucracy" was supposed to be with him through thick and thin, but his reforms only made these people more tired, but they gained nothing.

There are also those landlords who are strong and seem to be "powerless", but in fact, Geng Xiaofan knows that they are the backbone of the current society.

How to survive in these three "forces" is a big article.

Feeling depressed, he decided to visit Jing Yan's sister again. Pretending to be nothing, he came to the foot of Beishan, and sure enough, he saw Jing Yan's sister busy working on the "home" construction site.

"You're really good at it, and the progress of the project is faster than that of the White Water Canal."

"You don't have to be greedy! When your treasury is full, the progress will naturally be fast! I'm paid ten times as much as you're paid here. Wang Jingyan is also very satisfied with her progress.

"If you don't have anything to do, you won't be here to care about my laboratory today." Wang Jingyan had already seen through Geng Xiaofan's expression.

"I'm a little depressed and want to talk to you." Geng Xiaofan told the truth.

"You're a little disoriented, huh!" Wang Jingyan seemed to be well aware of his situation.

"yes!" Geng Xiaofan did not hide it, and said the three forces he analyzed.

"Do you feel a loneliness you've never felt before?" Wang Jingyan listened calmly, and said a word to break Geng Xiaofan's state of mind.

Without waiting for Geng Xiaofan to speak, Wang Jingyan continued, "You chose Liu Fei'er, but she can't help you in your career. You can't even tell her about your doubts and frustrations. Do you regret it? ”

"It's not the same thing! Sister Jing Yan, I admit that Fei'er can't compare with you in these aspects. But love, marriage, family and career are like fish and bear's paws, which cannot be both. I can't regret it, and I don't regret it. ”

"Huh! Don't have both. If you are a Han Chinese, you may not be able to have both. But you come from 2,000 years later, can't you still play this big man? Wang Jingyan sneered.

"Sister Jing Yan, I'm sure you can't have a lot of things at the same time. Only gains and losses are unbalanced, and sooner or later they go from one extreme to the other. This is an eternal truth. Geng Xiaofan retorted, he was sure from the bottom of his heart that there were gains and losses, but there were some gains and losses that people didn't see, or didn't realize at all.

"Since you've seen it so clearly, is there anything else you can't figure out?"

"There are some things that can be seen, but not necessarily done. It's a question of competence, and that's my problem right now. You know, I never made it my goal to be an official. ”

"Hey! It's really hard for you, a science student! Wang Jingyan couldn't help but sigh.

Geng Xiaofan is not happy, what's wrong with the science student! Is it difficult to understand that students can't be "leaders"? It seems that many of the big leaders are science students! It's just that I don't think that way.

"Alright, alright! Let me give you some advice! Wang Jingyan also felt that she was a little "excessive", so she quickly appeased Geng Xiaofan.

"Actually, you see the external situation very clearly, but you don't see your own potential and your own resources clearly. If you make reasonable use of it, it will be easy to coordinate these three forces. Wang Jingyan solemnly began to suggest.

"The common people are like water, they can carry a boat and capsize a boat, you should understand this truth. But you can't give them any benefits for a while, so you can only be in awe. This has to be considered in the long run, if you do a good job in the economy and society of Shanggu, the people will naturally support you. ”

"The bureaucrats under you, you have to use both grace and power. Some time ago, you mainly used power, and now you have to consider Kaien! I know you don't want to go along with them, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and there are some things that you still have to turn a blind eye to. It's a conspiracy, and I know you're not uncommon, but there's no other way. ”

"As for those landlords, you really have to pay attention to them, their power is subtle and not to be underestimated. The land restriction order some time ago has already hurt them, and you have to give them proper compensation. ”
