If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

This is the words of Yasheng Mencius to show his noble ambition and standard of conduct, but it is also applicable to Zhao Junchen, a "corrupt official".

There are some things that he has seen and thought of, but due to the limitations of timing, environment, status, ability, and other factors, it is not his turn to participate, so that he can have the bottom in his heart.

In Zhao Junchen's view, when he was unable to protect himself, he still thought about the world and the country, even if it can't be said to be ridiculous, but at least it is beyond his strength.

Therefore, the first thing Zhao Junchen has to do now is to reverse the disadvantages he is facing.

"As soon as it changes, let's start with this locust plague in Lu'an Mansion."

This is Zhao Junchen's truest thoughts now.

……

Nothing was said all night.

Although he had insomnia for various reasons, after getting up early the next morning, Zhao Junchen's spirit was much better, and his head pain was suffocating, and after a night's rest, he recovered a lot.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen did not continue to lie in bed to recuperate as the doctors told him, but got up early in the morning.

Although he was not used to being served, in order not to show his flaws, Zhao Junchen still let a group of maids and servants wait to wash his face and change his clothes.

The life of the feudal landlord class who is clothed and stretches out his hands to eat, maybe Zhao Junchen will slowly adapt to it in the future, and even feel very comfortable and habitual, but now, he only feels like a marionette.

Xu Qingyan, as Zhao Junchen's long-term entourage, is very incompetent in some respects, perhaps he was spoiled by Zhao Junchen, so he has always been lazy, when Zhao Junchen started to eat breakfast, he had just woken up, and after learning that Zhao Junchen had already gotten up, Xu Qingyan rushed over.

After entering Zhao Junchen's room, seeing that Zhao Junchen was leisurely enjoying breakfast and meals, Xu Qingyan couldn't help complaining: "Young master, you were just injured yesterday, why did you get up so early today?" What should I do if I delay my recovery? ”

This Xu Qingyan is not a good person in many ways, but his concern for Zhao Junchen is sincere.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen was not angry about Xu Qingyan's complaints, but said with a smile: "But it is not a big deal to be hit by a stone, if you lie in bed for several days because of this matter, not to mention the fuss, it will delay the business." ”

Waving his hand to let the maids and servants who were waiting beside him retreat, Zhao Junchen pointed to the seat next to him again, and said to Xu Qingyan: "The breakfast prepared by Governor Liu is also exquisite, but it is too much to eat, and now there is a locust plague in this Lu'an Mansion, and food cannot be wasted, so you can also sit down and eat with me." ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Xu Qingyan only felt that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Zhao Junchen incredulously.

The words "can't waste food" are by no means like people like Zhao Junchen would say.

Seeing the doubts in Xu Qingyan's heart, Zhao Junchen sighed softly and said, "I know what you're wondering about, sit down and let's talk while eating." ”

The relationship between Xu Qingyan and Zhao Junchen is also a master and a servant and a brother, and they often ate together before, so they didn't shirk it, so they sat next to Zhao Junchen, but they didn't move the food on the table, just looked at Zhao Junchen suspiciously, waiting for Zhao Junchen's explanation.

Xu Qingyan and Zhao Junchen have been together for too long, and he has too deep a deep understanding of Zhao Junchen, since yesterday, he felt that something was wrong with Zhao Junchen, which was completely different from the Zhao Junchen he was familiar with, as if he had changed people. For Zhao Junchen's various expressions, it is impossible to say that there are no doubts in his heart.

On the other hand, Zhao Junchen, who has been stiffened by Li Daitao, in order not to leave flaws, in order to make Xu Qingyan keep pace with him in the future, he must also eliminate this doubt in Xu Qingyan's heart, and explain to Xu Qingyan what he thinks now.

Zhao Junchen is now facing a very severe situation, both near and far-term worries, if you want to change this unfavorable shape, you must start from now, but also start from your side.

Seeing that Xu Qingyan did not put down the chopsticks, Zhao Junchen sighed softly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said: "Qingyan, you will follow me today, don't run to those grain stores again, this time we come to Lu'an Mansion, our goals and means also need to change." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "Young Master, don't you plan to use this disaster relief grain and grass?" ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen nodding, Xu Qingyan was anxious and said, "Young Master, how can this be done?" As soon as this disaster relief grain and grass is sold to the grain store, it will be an income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! What's more, for this matter, we have spent a lot of money up and down, if we give up like this, won't that silver be wasted? When have we ever made a losing deal? Also, the officials of Lu'an Mansion have been staring at this batch of disaster relief grain and grass, and they just gave up, and it is not easy to explain to them, not to mention, even if we don't move this disaster relief grain money, just the group of corrupt officials in Lu'an Mansion, and when we return to Beijing, they will also start, and we will not be able to benefit at all, and we will give the cheap to others for nothing......"

Xu Qingyan said a lot of things in a row, and it was still reasonable, which made Zhao Junchen look at him differently.

Although, Xu Qingyan's "reasonable and well-founded" are all based on the theory of corrupt officials.

Shaking his head gently, Zhao Junchen said: "Qingyan, this time I was attacked, I was hit on the head with a stone, but I was smashed to understand, we have never been to this Lu'an Mansion, let alone done anything hurtful here, but the people here are so hostile to me, I know it, because of the propaganda of those clear streams, I am afraid that I am now infamous all over the world." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan looked indignant and said: "Those clear streams are indeed not things, but His Majesty doesn't like them today, they have no power in their hands, and they have nothing else to do except bewitch some folk people and scholars." Young master, when did you start to care about these clear streams and the people? Let's do what we do, whatever they do! ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head again and said, "It's not right for you to think so, you don't like to read, but you've always heard of storytelling, right?" Like Li Linfu, Qin Hui, and Yan Song, which one is not a saint? Which one is not powerful? Which one ended well? Why? It's just that their reputation among the government and the opposition is too bad. People have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, these people are a lesson from the past. Silver is a good thing, but it also has to be a life flower, not to mention, the silver in our hands now is enough, can we afford to collect it everywhere? What we need most now is not silver, but a long-term way to settle down. My reputation in the government and the opposition is too bad now, and I have been allowed to be slandered by those clear streams, but now this situation is about to change. ”

These words came out of Zhao Junchen's mouth, Xu Qingyan only felt extremely awkward, but he also understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and asked hesitantly: "Young master, do you mean that this time we will not use this disaster relief grain and grass, but use the opportunity of this disaster relief to earn a good reputation?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled and said, "That's what it means." ”

Xu Qingyan didn't agree, and said: "Young master, what you mean is good, but it doesn't work, these officials in Lu'an Mansion are like other officials, they are all corrupt officials, and they can't afford to make no profits, don't look at them now, but firstly, because the young master has a high position and a holy family, and secondly, they are counting on the young master to share some soup and drink when he eats meat this time, this time for disaster relief, if they don't share some of their benefits, they probably won't really do things for the young master, but will resent the young master." The distribution of disaster relief grain and grass, after all, is to be done through their hands, if they are still deceived and concealed, not to mention the good reputation of the young master, the resentment of the people they provoke will also fall on you, young master. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Qingyan shook his head one after another, with a businessman's face, and continued: "Young master, we can't get this deal, is it possible that we have to pay out of our own pockets to benefit those corrupt officials?" ”

Although this Xu Qingyan is unlearned and unskilled, he is very clear about the crooked ways and corrupt official psychology in the officialdom, which also makes Zhao Junchen pay more attention to him, after all, in the officialdom, such people are indispensable around him.

However, Zhao Junchen was very happy about Xu Qingyan's questioning, because Xu Qingyan could say this, which proved that he still agreed with Zhao Junchen's idea after all, and also understood what Zhao Junchen meant, so that no matter what Zhao Junchen did in the future, Xu Qingyan would not be suspicious.

Feeling a little more relaxed, Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "What you said, I have naturally thought of it, and I also have my own solution, in my opinion, as long as this matter is slightly flexible, the interests of all aspects can be taken care of, and even the benefits we should take will be a lot, if a qiē shun lì, maybe, this benefit can be more." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "It's still the young master who is smart, young master, what do you say you should do, I'll listen to you." ”

Xu Qingyan said that other people can't afford to be early, but in fact, he is the same, as soon as he hears that he can get benefits, he will immediately be full of energy.

And from this, it can also be seen that Xu Qingyan is loyal, after all, these benefits are owned by Zhao Junchen, and as a long-term follower, he can't get much.

On the other side, Zhao Junchen was just about to explain, when he heard a report from someone outside the door: "My lord, Lord Liu Chang'an, the prefect, asks to see you." ”
