The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became heavy, not only Liang Shu's expression was grim, but Nie Yong's face was also full of sadness.

"Brother Zheng'er, you are an old man of Yan, I was able to get out of the predicament with the guidance of the green bamboo forest in Yangzhou that day, but this time in Yingtian, the situation is even more difficult than Yangzhou! Dai thief formed a party, there were many of his protégés and former officials in the court, and I was a small six-grade official, who was excluded and suppressed wherever he went, just Liuhe County, a small county office, but like an iron plate, it can be said that the needle cannot be inserted, and the water cannot be splashed.

The imperial court worships me as the parent official of 100,000 people, but in this yamen, I can't get involved at all, and the county government is ...... Unexpectedly...... No one took me seriously! ”

When Nie Yong said this, he slapped the table, and the wine on the table splashed, and it was a mess. Lu Zheng looked calm and said, "Master Nie, you have been able to settle in Yangzhou for three years, why are you in a hurry to do it overnight when you come to Yingtian?" ”

When Lu Zheng said this, Nie Yong was speechless and speechless.

Lu Zheng said again: "Master Nie, Ying Tian's trip is to put it to death and be born, in this case, why is the teacher so impatient?" Momentary gains and losses, a place gains and losses do not need to care, Taoguang is obscure, and it is a good policy to slowly figure it out.

As a parent, can the teacher be familiar with the area under his rule? One region, one side of the water and soil, one side of the people are different, the teacher should take root, first go through the county's water and soil, understand the customs, experience the people's suffering, and then will be able to understand, and then come to govern the county, it will be twice the result with half the effort! ”

Nie Yong listened attentively, and gradually his expression moved, he was already extremely talented and had excellent understanding, Lu Zheng said these words, he pondered carefully, and found that there was a profound truth in them.

I have to say that Lu Zheng's thinking is very strange and unique, because since ancient times, there have been few such ideas. The literati govern the country and preach the virtue of education, which is the so-called "etiquette" of the imperial court from top to bottom. Ethics is the highest criterion.

The performance evaluation of a county's parent officials is first of all the cultural and educational examinations, and then the taxation and food. There are many scholars in a county, and if the scholars are promising, they are educated.

And the full amount of taxes, money, and food that should be collected from the state every year is excellent performance, and the other imperial courts don't care at all, as long as there is no civil uprising or disaster, the performance appraisal is excellent.

Lu Zheng's suggestion to Nie Yong was naturally different from this kind of thinking, Nie Yong thought about it carefully, and soon realized the wonders of it, and his mind became lively for a while.

Liang Shu was calm, and naturally he could understand Lu Zheng's meaning, and immediately said: "Yes, Brother Zheng means that the adult Taoguang is obscure, and he travels in micro-clothes, and then slowly draws it, wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Liang Shu praised again and again, and his eyes flashed with brilliance when he looked at Lu Zheng, originally he was proud of his talent, and he didn't think much of Lu Zheng. Especially since he didn't think that Lu Zheng's coming to Ying Tian would be helpful to Nie Yong.

In his mind, how difficult were Nie Yong's three years in Yangzhou? This time, Nie Yong came to Yingtian, with Lord Zhan as a backer behind him, even if it was difficult, it was much easier than Yangzhou.

However, when Nie Yong arrived in Yingtian, he found that it was not the same thing at all, Yangzhou was far away from the political center of Jiangnan, Dai Xiang's influence was relatively weak, and Nie Yong still had a little breathing space.

Ying Tian is the administrative center of Jiangnan, most of the officials of the imperial court are related to Dai Xiang, and some other officials are the forces of the Jiangnan authorities, the Jiangnan authorities are already afraid of the Beijing officials, Nie Yong serves as the commander of Liuhe County as a Beijing official, where can the local authorities in Jiangnan tolerate it? In this way, Nie Yong is not pleasing at both ends, and he runs into walls on all sides, so it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch, and his life is like a year.

Liang Shukong had a conspiracy and trickery, but he couldn't find a place to show it, but he was suffocated. Liang Shu's strong place is in the power plan, and the weak place is in the direction of the pattern.

And although Nie Yong is amazingly talented, after all, he has no experience on the ruling side, and in the face of all kinds of difficulties, he is helpless as a scholar.

Lu Zheng's words today can be said to be a send-off in the snow, giving him a sense of seeing the sun.

After Lu Zheng left the county office, Nie Yong was in high spirits and high morale, he said: "Brother Zheng is really my savior, this son is really the prime minister's talent, I am not convinced in my life, but I am really convinced of him!" ”

Liang Shu said: "My lord, what Brother Zheng said is indeed shocking, but the situation is still difficult, and we have to plan for the worst in the future!" ”

Nie Yong waved his hand and said: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, we can't grasp many things, there is no way, all we can do is do our best."

Brother Zheng is right, I can endure three years of suffering in Yangzhou for three years, why can't I slowly figure it out in Yingtian? Don't say anything, starting tomorrow, you will accompany me to travel in micro-service! ”

"Yes, my lord, I suggest that you bring one or two attendants, all dressed in civilian clothes. My view of the history of the government is not monolithic, can the lord understand what I mean? With the direction and goal, after the overall situation was finalized, Liang Shu's mind immediately became active.

Before, he was afraid of wolves and tigers, and he lacked targets and targets, but now it's different. Since Nie Yong has found the direction of his actions, no matter how big or small the arrangements are in the specific actions, Liang Shu is a veteran.

Nie Yong paid a private visit to Liuhe, and he will definitely encounter a lot of unjust cases and entanglements, just right, this piece belongs to the category of criminal cases and prisons, Nie Yong was constrained in judging the case in the county office, and now he has walked out, with the official seal of the official officer, who can restrain him?

As long as he can really go through the water and soil of all parties in Liuhe County, Nie Yong will be able to exercise his decree in the field, and as for the criminal cases involved in the local prison, he will also deal with it, and then the people of Liuhe will know Nie Yong's name, with this foundation, Nie Yong will return to the county government and use his identity as a county order to divide and win over his subordinates, and then he will gradually have confidence.

Immediately in the evening, the two conspired to discuss various details without mentioning ......

……

Lu Zheng lived in Liuhe County like this, and his life seemed to have returned to peace.

As he said, he spent most of his time focusing on his studies, studying the classics from morning to night every day, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Lu Zheng has experienced the children's examination, and he does not dare to have the slightest contempt for the scientific examination, the scientific examination is not simple, the reason why Lu Zheng can be a small and medium-sized three yuan, on the one hand, is because of luck, the questions of the three exams are in the field he is familiar with.

Another point is also because of his fame in Yangzhou, as well as the momentum he has created for himself through various channels, which gives him an advantage in the hearts of the examiners, in fact, what is the difference between the first place in the imperial examination and the second and third places? I'm afraid that in the examiner's heart, it's just a thought!

Therefore, Lu Zheng responded to the township test in response to the day, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and his mind was very sober about this.

In addition, there is another point, that is, Liuhe is a new place, new arrival, with Lu Zheng's character is never rash, his strategy is to settle down first, and then move forward step by step, just the so-called waiting for the opportunity, and continue to wait if you can't wait for the opportunity......

Lu Zheng has been in Liuhe County for about seven or eight days, and Gu Zhilun has been in Liuhe, originally his spirit is very high, thinking of taking the opportunity of Lu Zheng to respond to the sky, and there is a relationship with Nie Yong, so he can move the focus of business to Yingtian.

It's a pity that his campaigns these days have had little effect, he keeps contacting his brothers of the same clan in Yingtian, and wants to make friends with some of the main affairs of the Gu family, but he runs into walls everywhere, and others don't take him seriously!

What kind of family is the Gu family? Gu Zhilun is just a small side branch, what is it to have tens of thousands of taels of silver on hand? Compared with the Gu family, it is not worth mentioning at all, and others don't look down on it at all!

In this year, the business has reached a certain scale, silver is no longer the main resource, the important resource still depends on whether there is ability, Gu Zhilun has no foundation in Yingtian, but it is only a few taels of silver, and it is difficult to make friends with weighty people!

"Oh, Uncle Shi, what's the matter with you? I haven't seen you for a while, I see that your complexion is really bad, or you live with me these days, I asked people to find a good cook, good food! You have lived with me for ten days and a half months, and I will keep you happy. Lu Zheng teased.

Gu Zhilun knew Lu Zheng's temperament, and when he heard Lu Zheng's relaxed tone, his mood was slightly better, and he said:

"Brother Zheng, Uncle Shi is here to join you! In such a big place as Yingtianfu, Uncle Shi only kisses you, this time I came to Liuhe Zhen to stay, but you have told me not to give up, and Uncle doesn't want anything else, I hope my brother can give Uncle a bowl of rice to eat! ”

Lu Zheng smiled, raised his hand lightly and said, "Serve tea to Uncle Shi!" ”

Ying'er brought the tea over, Gu Zhilun held the teacup in his hand, and was just about to lift the lid to drink, Lu Zheng leaned over and said: "Uncle Shi, as long as you bring enough silver, you and my uncle and nephew can make a lot of money when you turn around!" ”

"Ah......h

Lu Zheng's words were tantamount to giving him a burst of chicken blood, he was frustrated everywhere, and his morale was already low, but now he was immediately full of confidence when Lu Zheng said a word.

He said: "Brother Zheng'er, what do you say, Uncle brought all the silver to Yingtian this time, as long as you say a word, we will start ...... immediately"

"Shhhh......h ”

"Uncle, put the carriage on and go out with my uncle in the afternoon, the weather is very good today, it is a good weather to watch the river view!" Lu Zheng yelled into the courtyard.

In the yard, Qi Biao responded from a distance, and looking back, a few white doves flew up in the backyard, and if he didn't deliberately didn't notice this, he wouldn't have noticed this at all.

The boy has been haunted these days, and in just a few days, he has really come up with some things, and these flat-haired beasts are forced to look at them!
