Fan Jin still knows a little about this Zhang general. One of Zhang Shunqing's foils to her sweetheart was to introduce the temperament, preferences and personal characteristics of the entire Jiangling Party leaders, including his father himself, to Fan Jin, and Zhu Lian was no exception.

As a general under the Zhang family, Zhu Lian is talented and aggressive, not greedy for money, and dares to give direct advice. It is precisely because of these advantages that Zhu Lian was placed in the system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate by Zhang Juzheng, as a pawn in the power of the Yanguan. Of course, he has shortcomings, but the shortcomings do not include the astringency, and besides, he hasn't been drinking alcohol now, so it's very abnormal to look at it.

Zhu Lian didn't think that there was anything inappropriate about his behavior just now, and laughed with Fan Jin as if nothing had happened just now, but it was a woman who was already from Youlan Pavilion who sent dried fruit tea again, so she didn't let those girls from good families take risks. Zhu Lian still laughed with them and even used their hands and feet, those women were used to socializing, and they dealt with it with their old skills, and they didn't make a fuss.

"Think, you see, I am an official, and I need to tell people what you want, so that others can provide you with something. It's not enough to just let the people below guess. I want women, they give me women, you want to implement the new law, you have to make the people below understand, and then they will do it. Retreat is indeed very good in Shangyuan County, but it is too slow, if I were you, as soon as I arrived in Jiangning, I would tell people that I was going to implement the new law. If you don't cooperate, your subordinates will get out, and your colleagues will appoint you as a strict counselor! Take off a few black veils more than you can dispose of as many officials as you do. If you think about your approach, a county town will not be able to see results for three or more years, and if it is put on a country, I am afraid that it may not be able to succeed in a hundred and ten years. Xiangye wants Shangyuan to become a role model in the southeast, and the speed of your role model is too slow. ”

"When we implement the new law, we have to make drastic measures, and it is not possible to follow the rules. I came to the southeast by order, and I didn't talk to anyone about the rules of officialdom, I only did one thing, and found fault! I know that some people are wronged, but so what? If he gets in the way of the New Deal, he has to move out of the way. We don't need good people, we just need obedient people, and that's enough. Just like the shopkeeper here, I don't care if the relationship behind her is Retreat or Grandpa Xu, she can't put any stinky shelves in front of me. If I want a woman, she has to give me a woman, and that's what I want. If I do this, within a year, Shangyuan will definitely be able to make a lot of achievements. Shangyuan has made achievements, and the southeastern provinces can follow up and think back...... You can't be slow, not fast enough is the same as the guilt. ”

Fan Jin asked: "Like Shaohu said, fast can be fast, but it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, and I am afraid that things will not be done satisfactorily." ”

"There is no need to be strict about perfection in everything, what my generation is seeking is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and there can be no woman's kindness, and no one will be harmed, which is something that cannot be done. This is not a Jingshi, even if a few people suffer innocently, things will not make much trouble. Don't worry, with me in charge of you, all the big things can be suppressed. We are all subordinates of Xiangye, and you are ...... when you think about it is extraordinary, I, Zhu Shaohu, don't give face to others, but I will definitely give you face. Let go of your hands and feet and do it casually, there is a master behind you, what are we afraid of? ”

Fan Jin had a little understanding of Zhu Lian's mentality and Fang Cai's approach at this time.

To work under a strong figure like Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Lian must be conscientious and abide by the rules, so that he can be promoted and reused. There are many people in the land of Beijing, and as a speech official picketing a hundred officials, he must be upright first, and he has to live so hard like a waiting life, which is also the reason. Zhu Lian's performance in Jingshi was actually to suppress his own heart, and in order to behave well in front of Zhang Juzheng, he had to be cautious and polite. This kind of repression is not necessarily a bad thing, and if man does not suppress his own nature, he is no different from a beast. But Zhu Lian did not really change his temperament because of repression, and once he arrived in a foreign city, he completely let himself go when he had power in his hands.

Zhang Juzheng employs people with talent over morality, and there are many people under the Jiangling Party who have problems, including Fan Jin himself. Zhu Lian is mixed with these people, and it is inevitable that he will be affected, and his current performance is more like a compensation for his previous suppression.

This demand cannot be said to be abnormal, but not all normal needs should be supported. Just as it is normal for people to eat when they are hungry, it is not appropriate to get support for stealing food from others. Zhu Lian's problem is that he didn't set a barrier in his heart, he did it when he had a need, and he didn't care even if he caused trouble.

For a normal government, this kind of person is a target that needs to be suppressed. For the common people, such people also suffer the most damage, because they do whatever they want and have no rules to speak of, and they are the most hated. If it was Zhu Lian personally, it wouldn't matter, but the problem is that now his actions will eventually be recorded on Zhang Juzheng's head, so that Zhang Juzheng will bear the resentment of the people without knowing it.

If it's just Zhu Lian, it doesn't matter, but his attitude can reflect the attitude of the Gangneung Party members. With so many people acting like this, the worse the people's view of the Gangneung Party, the more they will inevitably resent Zhang Juzheng. Moreover, the implementation of the new policy in this way will inevitably harm the rights and interests of the people, and no matter how noble the purpose is from the perspective of the overall situation, the actual rise of the small people has not benefited but has endured hardships, and there is no good opinion of the new law. After Zhang Juzheng's death in history, the ministers who opposed the New Deal did not fabricate facts out of nothing, but reported all the problems in the implementation of the New Deal, which naturally made the emperor decide that the New Deal was not a good thing.

Fan Jin is not an immortal, and he has no way to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the implementation of the new policy and that it will not harm the people. But since he wants to be the son-in-law of the Zhang family, he has to consider his own interests, try to minimize the harm of the new deal, and at least leave a good reputation among the people.

He looked at Zhu Lian, "What Brother Shaohu said is extremely true, the implementation of Fan's new policy is indeed slow, in fact, if there is no slave change, my new policy may be slower." Because it's faster to take your time. ”

Zhu Lian had never heard of this point of view, and he was a little confused.

Fan Jin said: "In this restaurant, there is a once famous red man, who is famous three times. I won't hide it from you, it's the third son's friend. The third prince did not hesitate to redeem himself for her with 100 gold, and this matter is absolutely false. ”

Zhu Lian's originally relaxed expression suddenly became nervous, he had touched every woman who came up to deliver something, could there be that three slow voices here? Although Zhang Sangongzi will not do anything to him because of this matter, he will definitely not be happy in his heart. Zhang Maoxiu is the son that Zhang Juzheng focuses on cultivating, if he knows that the news is not bad, Zhang Juzheng will let the third son go down in the next subject and arrange an excellent ranking to come back. Maybe he will be the leader of the Zhang family in the future, and he will offend him, but there is no good fruit to eat.

He hurriedly said, "Is there such a thing? I didn't know anything about it, so I ......."

Fan Jin shook his head, "Fang Cai naturally doesn't have her." But who knows who among those women is her good sister, and who is her handkerchief? Whether the new girl was particularly cared for by the three slow voices, we don't know. Of course, this is a small matter, even if Sansheng is slow no matter how unhappy he is, he will not be happy about this to Shaohu, but it is difficult to say to me. I'm one of the proprietors here, and if I can't stand up for my guys, I'll definitely be scolded by my guys. Everyone has such a good relationship, and it is not too much to take a few scoldings for you. But the vast number of magistrates in the southeast don't necessarily have a relationship with Shaohu, right? ”

"The patrol is a rogue official, and when he returns to the court afterwards, what happens locally has nothing to do with your brother. What you want is your own merits, and what the magistrate wants is that the territory under your jurisdiction is calm and calm, and the two are born in opposition. As for who is right and who is wrong, it is difficult to say, if according to my opinion, whoever the people support is right. It is true that it is inevitable to sacrifice the people of a place and take the overall situation into account, but just because you are the overall situation, you should not take the sacrifices of others for granted, and you will not be justified, this will not work. If all the guys in the restaurant scold me, this business will not be able to continue. The grievances of the first or two small people are just grievances, and the people of all places are resentful...... Slavery is the end. ”

Zhu Lian heard that Fan Jin was really accusing him, and his expression was also a little displeased, but thinking that Fan Jin was the future son-in-law of the Zhang family, and Miss Zhang was not a character to be provoked, he didn't dare to resist, so he suppressed his anger and said: "The prosperity of slavery lies in the uselessness of magistrates. If the order was given to send troops from the beginning, would the officers and soldiers of the economic system still be afraid that they would not be able to deal with a group of ordinary people? Kill a few heads, and you'll be honest. ”

"What if it's not a slave rebellion, but a popular rebellion? What if their resentment was greater? If you can't kill a few heads, you can kill dozens, and if you can't kill dozens of heads, you can kill hundreds. Kill until the heads are boiling and the blood is flowing like a river, and the common people will flee if they don't die, and we, the herdsmen and officials, have no people to graze, what do we get to finish the food and finish the class, do we go to the fields to plow, and do our own laundry and cooking? If this change is a few counties, the governor will send troops, if it is a province, then the Xiangye will not be able to sleep. If the whole world is in turmoil, what will we do to deal with it? Even if the officers and soldiers win a hundred battles, and the people are at enmity with the imperial court, we can't collect food, so what can we do to distribute military food to the soldiers? If you can't get a husband, do you want a well-dressed person to carry the soil and transport grain and military funds? ”

As Fan Jin spoke, there seemed to be a scene in front of him that the beacon fire caused the people to change everywhere, and the people regarded the officers and soldiers as enemies, and there was even a notice to suppress the soldiers and the people. Zhu Lian heard it in a fog, but he was not a bastard after all, and he could understand that Fan Jin's worries were reasonable, but he was a little incredulous and a little unwilling, and asked:

"Then according to the retreat, don't you do nothing?"

"You can't say that, if you don't do anything, if you don't check and fill in the gaps, the people will still make trouble. We have to do things, but we can't be reckless about doing things. If you take other people's things, you have to compensate for them, and if you hurt others, you have to apologize, this is the most basic truth, and we readers should understand it better. Your brother touched someone's little girl, and I will pay her money and say good things to her when I turn around. The purpose of implementing the new law is to make the people's lives better, not to make their own performance look good. If the new law is implemented simply for the sake of enforcing it, the meaning of the new law will be lost. The reason why I walked very slowly in Shangyuan was to lay a good foundation, and secondly, to ensure that the people of Li would not suffer losses as much as possible. It can't be perfect, but we can be considered successful as long as we win over the majority of people who don't hate the court. After all, three or five people want to mess up, but they can't mess up. This time, the Shangyuan slave rebellion did not make a noise, not because I arranged officers and soldiers, but because there were few slaves who participated in the rebellion. ”

Zhu Lian said: "According to the method of retreat, I am afraid that I will not see any effect for decades, and once I feel that there is no difference between the new law and the old law, I am afraid that he will no longer support us." ”

"Slow is not such a slow method. If you want to see the results, you can naturally see them, but the premise is that the official has to do things, and don't just think about promotion. The new law should be judged by its effectiveness, and it will be seen in three or so years, and the subsequent implementation and correction of measures in light of local conditions will not be a matter of three or a few years, but a matter of three decades or even a hundred years. I have been a country for nearly 200 years, and now I want a new law that can prevail over the regulations that have been implemented for nearly 200 years in three or five years, and that will only be counterproductive. What the magistrate has to do is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and go down to work seriously. You can't be afraid of trouble, you can't be afraid of losing face, and you can't have the slightest hesitation when you should apologize to the people and say good things. As for the inspector, it is the whip of the imperial court. Whoever doesn't want to do this, fight until he is willing. If anyone makes a public uprising and beats whom, whoever makes the people unhappy and beats whom, rather than whoever is slow, fast does not necessarily equal good, and slow does not necessarily mean bad. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Jin smiled again, "Of course, this is my family's opinion, which may not be accurate, Brother Shaohu is ordered to patrol a province, and he has his own opinion on how to act." Fan is also within Brother Zhu's investigation and correction, and if there is anything inappropriate, Brother Zhu will deal with it at will. ”

Zhu Lian looked at Fan Jin and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief, "Retreat, I'll tell you the truth. Before I left Beijing, someone from the palace specially explained to me that when I arrived in the southeast, I must fully cooperate with the retreat. Retreat is still delivering secret music to the imperial court every month through the Jinyi Yamen, and the general secretary is not predictable. If you and I fight for the book, the court will only ask me about my guilt, and will not add guilt to retreat. Originally, I thought it was Xiangye's preference for retreat, but now it seems that I want to be bad. If you and I have a dispute, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong in theory, it must be my fault in the country or in the place. ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "Brother Zhu is too humble to say that. You went to the southeast to handle a lot of big cases, and the local people saw your affection very much. In the future, Huang Enhou will also rely on you to punish, if you talk about reputation, you must be above me. ”

"But when it comes to loving the people, Zhu is definitely not as good as you! In the past, when he was studying, what Zhu wanted was to report to the Son of Heaven to go down to An Lishu, to shepherd the Quartet for the Son of Heaven, and to seek justice for the people. Over the years, he thought that he had impeached a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he was making decisions for the people. Today, when I listened to the words of retreat, I realized that in the past few years, I have mostly asked for my own thoughts to be clear, or to seek that the new law be implemented faster, and I have thought less about the people. Thanks to the retreat, I woke up. Sit down, and I'll go and go back. ”

"Where is Shaohu?"

"Find those girls and make amends in person."

"Aren't you afraid to scare her to death? The matter of apology is our pro-people official, and Shaohu's style is still suitable for putting on a straight face and cleaning up people. With thunderbolt means, and then with the bodhisattva's heart, the common people will be blessed. Now that Brother Shaohu has a bodhisattva heart, I will wait to see your thunderbolt tricks. ”

Zhu Lian nodded, "Huang Enhou is also in the banquet tonight, and I promise to let Hui Si see my thunderbolt method when the time comes." As long as the complainant comes, Huang Enhou won't want to go back to the yamen tonight! The wicked have their own wicked grinding, and perhaps a cool official like me is only of some use in this kind of place. I can do something for the people and atone for my own sins. ”
