Chapter 694: Twilight 4
Xin Jiaxuan, who was preoccupied, sat in the shade of a large number of new buds blooming, and only felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.
His earlier trip to his hometown not only made him unhappy and happy to return to his hometown, but even a little bad and tired.
It's not just because his hometown, which is quite solid in Donggang Province, actually starved to death and fled with his family; It's not because I was in a bad mood by those who frequently patrolled the road, hunted down, intercepted and escaped.
is also because of the rest of the hometown, those who are barely counted as villagers, but Ling is a little disappointed, even shocked.
They have only been prosperous for a few years, and they dare to rely on their own fame to run rampant and domineering in the local area, and arbitrarily do the things of forcible seizure; and quickly made a fortune in a short period of time, from a muddy leg that has not dried up, to become one of the village sages and gentry;
Even the letters that they occasionally exchanged in places were distorted by them, and the credentials and reliance for their wanton actions were often taken out to pretend to be powerful, and punished for their own selfish desires.
is like a distant clan with the same surname that can't be beaten by eight poles, relying on the Xin family to become a big minister, and come forward to do charity, and from a rich family, he quickly became one of the few big landowners in the township.
At the beginning, he volunteered to help the township to study, and he made a lot of money, but they made a big fuss, and became a famous person who forcibly apportioned and extorted donations everywhere; In the end, the school field alone for supporting the township school was enough to occupy 180 acres of local water and watering land.
As for the township school itself, it is a private school of several wealthy gentry and big families, which is cobbled together with a facelift, and the essence is to change the soup but not the medicine; In addition to a few children of the Xin clan of the same clan, **** Dianmao is acting externally, there is not much use and opportunity to benefit the township.
And all of this has been boasted and sought after, and after he has developed himself, he has brought all kinds of blessings and benefits to the township.
If it weren't for the assistants and relatives around him, he would have been a little powerful and shrewd, but he was afraid that he would be fooled by the appearance and illusion of these isolated islands.
But what disappointed him even more was the role of agitation and instigation played by some people in the local government. They even gave those villagers ideas on how to further pull the tiger skin as a banner, so as to maintain this unconscionable deed for a longer time.
Although the older generation is all kinds of unbearable and despicable, even the next generation of young people in the township is a big disappointment, and the main content of the instigation and indoctrination they receive is to find opportunities to follow their own big officials, which are rare for decades.
After he took office in the north, how to use his status as a fellow Shangguan to be a prestige and enjoy the taste of a master who is feared. There are so many things like this, that people really have no intention of promoting and cultivating.
Although it is said that their pattern is too small, it is easy to be taken advantage of, instigated and driven to go down the wrong path.
But this is also the first time he feels powerless and cramped, even as a general and a minister on the leading side, but he can't even change the situation in his hometown.
Although he was able to punish those at one time through the pressure of the officials, and continued to flaunt his own banner and swagger, he could not change the sinister and profit-seeking of people's hearts.
Therefore, in the end, the only gain from the trip to his hometown was to bring back a few orphans whose families were ruined, as well as a bunch of ungrateful so-called reputations and reputations, and not sympathetic to the resentment of the village.
But even when he returned to Guangfu, his mood did not improve much. Because he is already the number two person on the town guard, and because he is about to become the son-in-law of the famous Dragon Bird Garden.
As if he had smelled the smell of the stinky flesh called power, he was overwhelmed by the constant contact and temptation of all kinds of people with different motives and purposes.
There are even people in public, knocking on the sideways hints and mentioning that Luo's exclusive interests in Huaidong are too great, and the benefits he can get and share are obviously completely incommensurate with the identity of this deputy envoy.
Therefore, as a representative of some friendly people, it is very good. He was very willing to deepen his goodwill and accept him as a member of the noble class of Cantonese at the same time; pull a group of young heroes with powerful backgrounds and family backgrounds, and gather around him as the leader; and even use this to gain the favor and support of some bigwigs, so as to be unique and obtain the resources and rights they deserve......
This undisguised utilitarian attitude and extremely selfish argument of ignoring the overall situation made him very disgusted, but he was helpless.
Born in a slightly cold family, he is more of a self-knowledge that cherishes what is in front of him than those ethereal temptations and interests.
As the number two person in the army, he is certainly versatile and comfortable in managing the army, managing the government, and running the locality. But they are all achievements and deeds made on the existing foundation and pattern. But compared with the boss and colleague of Luo Mou, whether it is the vision and experience of almost everything, or the long-term layout of foresight, or the pioneering spirit of courage and initiative to create opportunities, or the eclectic courage and means, etc., it is undoubtedly an unpopular choice and has always been inferior.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, he doesn't care too much about this, and needs to be relegated to the second position under the people, because Huaidong's special status and position require such a particularly prominent leader. In comparison, his personal selfishness and desires are really insignificant.
It's just that Xin Jiaxuan is certainly a man of his word in Huaidong, and even a leader who kills and kills himself. But here, he is just a deputy envoy under the rank of Zheng Sipin, and a senior general of General Fengwei.
Just staying in the five cities of Guangfu all the year round, there are dozens of high-ranking military officials with the same identity and similar level, and they can only barely see the figure on the throne clearly when they stand in the order of the court.
And he has no relatives to help him in his daily life, and he even has to rely on the authority and connections of Longque Garden to shirk and avoid more right and wrong and personnel communication.
This is a completely different life experience and encounter from the idle and light teaching career when I was teaching Wudong at the beginning.
So much so that he fell into a certain anxiety and confusion, whether he had changed, or whether the environment of the era he came out of had changed too quickly, and after only a few years of leaving, it was already impossible for people to catch up.
All this is like being caught in a web of spider silk that he can't break free from, no matter what he wants to do, it will cause different degrees of backlash and aftermath, and then quickly feed back to the people around him.
This feeling of suffocation everywhere seemed to have been felt by him for many years.
But he really couldn't bear to disappoint his sweetheart who had been waiting for many years, and could only deal with it for the time being, waiting and looking forward to the arrival of that day.
A sound struck his eardrums.
"Evacuate the town and return to the army?"
"Yes, it's about Huaidong, the discussion of withdrawing the town and returning to the army."
In the same year named Sang Yecao, he also served as a staff member who collected news from the DPRK and China
According to the internal biography of the General Administration...... The day before yesterday, there was a letter to Cui Zongxun in the court meeting, saying"
"Yanhuai Town's powerhouse is certainly famous in the world......"
"But such an elite soldier is hanging in the northland...... It is not appropriate to use it ......"
"It is to ask the country to consider abolishing the town defense, gather the corresponding troops and horses, and put them elsewhere to rush hot spots, and play a more important purpose......"
"In order to solve the urgent needs outside the mountains, it can also save a huge amount of perennial operation and maintenance costs......"
"Empty consumption of the country, the other generation really dares to say it......"
Hearing this, Xin Jiaxuan couldn't help but say with some hatred.
"The achievements of the soldiers are full of courage, so that this generation will be discarded......
"It is said that the person who initiated the initiative is from the old northerners......"
Sang Yecao continued
"Could it be that you are involved in the dispute between the old and new northerners......
Xin Jiaxuan judged freely.
Subsequently, after he took the initiative to go in and consult Lu Gong, he got another surprising opinion.
According to Lu Gong's words,
You must know that this kind of thing could not have happened under the hands of the prison state in the past, and I am afraid that such a motion will be operated in private before it is taken out, and it will be forcibly stillborn.
But now that it has emerged, even if it is sandwiched between many routine initiatives, it means two of the greatest possibilities.
One possibility is that the ability of the state of prison to control and restrain his subordinates, or the Guangfu court, which is thousands of miles away, has been weakened and diluted;
There is also the possibility that the prison state has acquiesced behind the scenes, and used it as a sign and signal to test the reaction of all parties, and to test the waters of compromise and exchange before some kind of change brought about it.
But in any case, for Huaizhen, it is not a reassuring trend.
Although I know that the upper echelons of the country and the DPRK have their own considerations and reasons for the overall situation, it is not as simple as selfishness and party struggle.
However, it is unacceptable to teach him to give up casually, participate in the creation and operation of Huaidong with his own hands, and now it is prosperous and quite improving, and live and work in peace and contentment.
For the first time, he also had some kind of resentment and unwillingness in the depths of his heart, which he couldn't even detect.
