Chapter 535: The Decision of the Three (Five Changes)
On the second day after Xu Shu got the order, he announced the news that he was about to leave, packed his bags and prepared to leave Ziyang County.
For Xu Shu, Ziyang County is just the first stop on his life journey.
There is no doubt that this stop was very solid and perfect, and there were no mistakes. After he leaves, the rest of the affairs in Ziyang County will naturally be continued by the successor, but whether the successor officials continue to implement his policy is another matter, after all, every ruler has his own ideas and means.
The news that Xu Shu was about to leave caused a huge sensation in Ziyang County.
When the people heard that Xu Shu was about to ascend, they felt happy in their hearts, but they also felt sad.
They are happy because the people who think about them have a better future and a better development; They are sad because the officials who love the people like children have left Ziyang County, and they don't know what kind of officials their successors will be. The people were in a complicated mood, but they didn't try to keep Xu Shu, because they couldn't stop Xu Shu selfishly.
Xu Shu wanted to leave quietly, but found that the people had already recognized him.
The people in the city walked out of their homes one after another to bid farewell to Xu Shu.
The people helped the old and the young, standing silently outside the city.
Xu Shu stopped the carriage, he got out of the carriage, bowed deeply to the people, and then got into the carriage and told the groom to drive away.
Mother Xu sat in the carriage with a calm expression, she looked at Xu Shu with slightly red eyes, and said: "My son, cast it with a peach, repay it with a li, the people's requirements are very simple, only a little food and clothing is enough." You show your talents, and the officials are getting bigger and bigger, but you can't forget today's scene, you can't forget the people who sent you goodbye, if you are in the fish and meat town one day, my mother will be the first to spare you. ”
Xu Shu said: "Mother's teachings, children dare not forget for a while." ”
The wheels turned, and the carriage kept moving forward.
"Master Xu, go all the way!"
"I wish Lord Xu Peng Chen Wanli, step by step."
"Lord Xu, the people of Ziyang County will always remember you, and you remember to come back often."
……
Behind the carriage, the voices of the people kept coming.
The wheels were turning, and the carriage was moving fast, going farther and farther, but the people in the city continued to bid farewell to Xu Shu. However, the speed of the carriage was faster than the speed of the people running with their feet spread, and when the carriage disappeared from the eyes of the people, leaving only a small black dot, the people returned to the city and returned to their homes.
When Xu Shu set off for Chengdu, the order of the state governor also arrived in Zizhong County and Jianxian County (now Deyang).
Zizhong County is the place where Shi Tao served as the county magistrate.
Jianxian is the place where Meng Jian served as the county magistrate.
The county seat where the two people are located is a small city, not big, and the city wall is not thick, and they were all placed in the county during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became the county seat. Like Xu Shu, after the two arrived in the county, they quickly stabilized the situation according to their own governance methods, making the small county gradually prosperous, and at the same time changing the atmosphere of the small county.
The two presided over the political affairs of one party, governed according to their own ideas, and finally achieved the effect of not closing the door at night, and the results were remarkable, which is praiseworthy.
The people are simple and pragmatic, and if you are good to him, he will be good to you.
When Xu Shu left, the people ran out for several miles to bid farewell to Xu Shu, and the scene was touching.
When Meng Jian and Shi Tao left, they both encountered the same scene. Even though they wanted to leave silently, there were still countless people who found them and rushed to say goodbye, and there were countless people carrying eggs, cooking meals, and gifts...... Wait to see them off, wanting to express my inner gratitude.
The people are so easily satisfied.
Simple food and clothing are enough to make them grateful to Dade.
After Shi Tao and Meng Jian left, they went to Chengdu.
The three of them set off at different times, but due to the difference in geographical location, they arrived in Chengdu at almost the same time. After returning to Chengdu, the three met in the post station.
Since none of the three had ever lived in Chengdu and had no residence, they all lived in a post station. At this time, friends who had been separated for nearly eight months got together, very happy, telling each other about what they had encountered, and their faces were full of bright smiles. Obviously, most of the year on their side has been fruitful.
For them, the experience of most of the year is definitely a valuable asset.
There may not be an amazing feat, but there is a tearful touch.
Meng Jian looked at the heroic Xu Shu and the heroic Shi Tao, sighed, and said: "In the past, there were four of us studying under Mr., but now the three of us are officials under the lord, and we have gained a lot and enjoyed it. It's a pity that Zhou Ping (Cui Junzi) still lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and he doesn't want to go out! ”
After hearing this, Shi Tao also sighed slightly, a little sad.
When Xu Shu heard this, he shook his head and laughed: "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, and the four of us are all seeking benevolence and getting benevolent, and each has its own gains." Zhou Ping likes to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and travels in the mountains every day, which is chic and comfortable. And it is also a great pleasure for us to be in the earthly world and benefit the people, and we have something to gain, and there is nothing to be sad about. ”
Meng Jian nodded and said: "Yuan Zhi's words are reasonable, everyone has their own gains." ”
Shi Tao said: "Yuan Zhi, after more than half a year, we were called back by the Lord, what do you say the Lord's Guild asked us to do?" Is it the one who continues to be in power? Or stay in Chengdu and become the confidant of the lord? ”
Xu Shu smiled and said: "Guangyuan (Shi Taozi) has thought about what to do, whether he is ready to continue to shepherd the party and benefit the people, or enter the center and become the confidant of the lord. ”
After Shi Tao and Meng Jian heard this, they both laughed.
Both of them are smart people, so they naturally understand the meaning of Xu Shu's words.
……
On the second day after the three returned to Chengdu, they received an order from Wang Can to let the three go to the governor's mansion. Obviously, the time has come for the three of them to go where they go?
Governor's House, in the hall.
Wang Can was wearing a black official uniform, wearing an ancient crown, and a jade belt around his waist, sitting in a precarious position, with a solemn expression, revealing a noble atmosphere, which was unforgiving.
"Step! Trample! ……”
Outside the hall, a steady sound of footsteps came into the hall from far and near.
Xu Shu, Meng Jian, and Shi Tao came together, and the three of them walked side by side and entered the hall at the same time. After more than half a year of training, the temperament of the three people has changed a lot. When Wang Can met the three of them in Da Xian Mountain, the three of them all had a trace of elegance, but now they exude an official authority, which is the effect of their experience in officialdom.
"Meet the Lord!"
The three of them bowed to Wang Can at the same time and bowed.
"Sit!"
Wang Can waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down.
After Xu Shu and the three sat down, they did not take the initiative to speak, but quietly waited for Wang Can to speak. When they were in Xianshan, they did not submit to Wang Can, so it can be said that they can talk to Wang Can at will, and they can test Wang Can with questions. However, after they became Wang Can's subordinates, they were no longer friends, but different from top to bottom, and there was a distinction between respect and inferiority, and there must be corresponding etiquette.
Wang Can pondered for a moment and said: "You are in charge of the party, and you can do it at night without closing the door and leaving no stone unturned, which is very good, enough to be called a talent for governing the world." However, it is true that you have been condescending to be the county magistrate, and even so, I believe that you will definitely not regret it after you serve as the county magistrate. ”
These words are Wang Can's sincere words.
He also started as a small soldier and walked up step by step, understanding the importance of grassroots experience.
When Xu Shu heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "What the lord said is very true, in the past, Zhongju (Chen Fanzi) once said that a house is not swept how to sweep the world, during the reign of Ziyang, what he gained was not only the experience of politics, but also the understanding of the world and the people of the world. This more than half a year of training will be the most important experience in the life of the lowly job. ”
Meng Jian also said: "Yuan Zhi's words are reasonable, and so is Jian. ”
Shi Tao nodded and agreed.
Wang Can looked at the three of them happily, and it could be seen from the words and deeds of the three of them that this was definitely the heartfelt words of the three people, because the results could be seen from their governance of their respective counties. In this world, there are many famous people and talented people, but there are very few talented people who are willing to be pragmatic.
Wang Can was lucky because he met Shi Tao, Xu Shu, and Meng Jian.
These three people are talented but willing to be pragmatic.
Wang Can took a deep breath and said, "With the experience of the ruling party, you have the step of promotion. Now that you have been recalled to Chengdu, you are asking about your future plans. Is it preparing to serve as a county watchman and shepherd a side? Or are you going to stay in Chengdu and help me deal with Chengdu's internal affairs? ”
In one sentence, Wang Can's purpose for summoning the three of them was said.
Xu Shu didn't hesitate, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I am willing to shepherd one side." ”
Shi Tao continued: "My lord, I am willing to shepherd one side and benefit the people of one side. ”
After the two finished speaking, Meng Jian looked resolute, and also said: "The willingness of the humble position is the same as that of Yuan Zhi and Guangyuan, and he is also willing to shepherd one side, do some practical things for the people, and seek benefits for the people." ”
The three of them all chose to be released as officials.
In fact, this is also something that the three of them have thought about carefully, they all know that Wang Can has the three giants of Guo Jia, Xun You, and Cheng Yu under his command, and there are three people who give advice to Wang Can, and they are not needed at all. Besides, it is very difficult for them to integrate in, so they all choose the shepherd side and display their talents.
After Wang Can heard this, he didn't rush to the accident. It's just a pity that Xu Shu also chose to go out to be an official. Xu Shu's talent is definitely the talent of the minister, and it is a bit overkill to choose the pastoral side.
However, Wang Can respected the choice of the three.
Everyone has the right to choose all their own paths. Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian are all talented people with their own life plans and dreams, they are willing to go out to be officials, and Wang Can tries his best to meet the requirements of the three people.
Wang Can looked out of the hall and shouted, "Someone! ”
Suddenly, a soldier quickly ran in and saluted Wang Can.
Wang Can commanded: "Bring a map!" ”
The soldier replied with a fist clenched, and turned to retrieve the map. After a short time, the soldier returned to the hall and handed the map to Wang Can with both hands. After Wang Can took the map, he sent the soldiers away, and he made a big move and said: "Yuanzhi, Guangyuan, Gongwei, you all come up and take a good look at the places on the map." The nine counties of Yizhou can be regarded as giving you a lot of choices, tell me where you are going to become officials. ”
The three of them got up and stepped forward, ready to choose which county to go to.
