Chapter 50 Visit

In February, the spring breeze of Hexi caressed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yan Jiakang took Mo Xin to Xie Jiazhuang, a northern suburb town, to visit Xie Liancheng, the former magistrate of the county. In fact, Yan Jiakang invited Xie Liancheng out of the mountain in order to get rid of the complicated affairs of the county government. What Zhang family's dog bit the Wang family's chicken, what Li family lost a cow, etc., these little things came to complain, Yan Jiakang was simply annoyed.

Zhou Village had a wonderful New Year, and the temporary shelter set up by Yan Jiakang a few years ago was to celebrate the New Year for the homeless. Yan Jiakang didn't expect that he would actually take in 100 street children. What will happen to these homeless children after the Chinese New Year? After thinking about it, he did not dismiss the street children, but asked Shan Feng to form a youth team. This move set a precedent for Yan Jiayasu to shelter street children in the future.

Xie Liancheng, the former governor of the county, has a very good reputation in Zhou Village. During the period of director Zhou Village, it played a role in promoting the prosperity of commerce and trade. Yan Jiakang considered that Xie Liancheng had strong connections in Zhou Village, especially among some people with strong traditional concepts, and his reputation was very high. Therefore, Yan Jiakang decided to hire Xie Liancheng as the advisor of the Zhoucun County Government, and whether Xie Liancheng could be allowed to go out of the mountain, Yan Jiakang was not very sure. Zhoucun County has jurisdiction over more than 20 natural villages in 4 towns, and agricultural production is also very important.

Yan Jiakang was not thinking about politics, and asking Xie Liancheng to go out of the mountain can also take care of agricultural production, after all, he has rich experience. As for letting Xie Liancheng grow rice, it's just a reason. Please enter the urn, as long as Xie Liancheng can agree to go out of the mountain, he can't help it.

At the end of February, the land of Jiaodong showed a vibrant scene. Large swaths of winter wheat, bathed in the warm spring breeze, are growing happily. A horse-drawn carriage drove along a country dirt road, and the occasional shout of the chauffeur echoed through the open field. A cool river appeared in front of it, and the water flowed quietly, slightly wavy. A few wild ducks play in the water. Mo Xin felt it and muttered: "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, spring is coming!" ”

"Mo Xin, this river is called the Filial Piety River, this place is not far from Xiejia Village, let's go down and take a walk!" "It's been a long time since I've come out to relax, and the spring scenery outside is so beautiful!"

Looking into the distance, Mo Xin is still lingering, a round of red sun hangs high, and the river is flooded with turquoise color. "Jiangnan is good! The scenery is old. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue, can you not remember the south of the Yangtze River! "Yan Jiakang touched the scene." Yunfei, this is Bai Juyi's memories of Jiangnan, when we were together, we were full of poetry and warmth, but such days will never be again! Mo Xin showed a hint of sadness. Mo Xin, I also want to accompany you to spend the first month, but I don't want to do nothing! ”

"Yunfei, I understand you, a man is not a good man if he has no ambition, sentimentality is the nature of his daughter's family, I just feel it. This time I visited Master Xie, did you let him out of the mountain! Yan Jiakang was secretly surprised when he heard this: "Mo Xin, my mind can't hide from your eyes, how did you guess?" "Do you still need to ask, your mind is to make money, and you have no intention of taking care of the government. What is the government is just a civil affair. You let the master take care of the government, but the master is not enough after all. If Master Xie goes out of the mountain, with his qualifications and fame, even if you are not in Zhou Village, Zhou Village will run freely. ”

"I can't hide anything from you, a smart woman will make a man jealous!" "A wise woman is also a man's right-hand man, but she can't overstep her bounds!" "Actually, I am very lucky to have a talented wife, and it is my blessing to be by my side." "Actually, you are smarter and more cunning, otherwise how could I marry you at all costs!" "Mo Xin, my pursuit of money is not greedy, but I want to do more. There is a way that money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible. Money can make ghosts grind, and this is even a good saying. "On the surface, you are greedy for money, but you are righteous and squandering money, I have a hunch that you have greater intentions?"

Yan Jiakang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Mo Xin, I know that you have nothing to do every day, what do you want to do?" "It's really not fun to pass the time every day. How about I teach those street children to read? "Wow, I'm in for it. There is a warehouse in the backyard on the street, which can be converted into a school, I will open a door for you on the street, and simply run a primary school and you will be the principal! "Really!" "Of course it's true! You can hire teachers. "Can I take girls?" "Absolutely!" "Yunfei!" Mo Xin happily grabbed his arm.

Houses surrounded by greenery appeared in front of them, and Xiejia Village was in sight. The Xie house was a little dilapidated and poor, and standing in front of the Xie family, Yan Jiakang couldn't help but be in awe. The black lacquer gate in front of me is peeling off and mottled, and the courtyard wall is showing traces of wind and rain erosion due to its age, which does not seem to be the place where the county magistrate lives. Yan Jiayasu was in a heavy mood, stepped forward and pulled the door knocker, revealing the head of a plainly dressed subordinate.

Reveal your identity and explain your intentions, and the next person will lead the husband and wife in. Under a peach tree in the courtyard, an old man with a white beard sat at a low table. The old man's cheeks were scorching, and his eyes were bright. The old man's sparse braids on his head were more white than black, which was very eye-catching. The old man was drinking tea, and when he saw the guests coming, he stood up. "Senior Xie is on top, junior Ge Yunfei will see you!" "Ge County has made the name thunderous, he is really young and handsome, and the old man is polite!" "Senior, this is a cheap one!" "The slave family greets Master Xie!" Mo Xin made a thousand blessings.

At this time, Xie Liancheng's wife walked out with her little feet to say hello, and instructed the maid to bring tea from the new paint. She invited Mo Xin into the room to talk, and she was very affectionate. Xie Liancheng politely invited Yan Jiakang to sit down at the low table. "Thank you, seniors, the juniors should have come to visit early, but they are busy with official business, please bear with me!" "Master Ge doesn't have to be too modest, the old man is now a rural grass farmer, not in his position, not in his politics. Although the old man said goodbye to his hometown and returned to his hometown, he has been familiar with what Master Ge has done since he took office, which can be described as terrifying and admirable! ”

"Senior Xie, Zhou Village has been well governed by you, showing a thriving scene. I know that the seniors are unwilling, do you want to go out again to help the juniors? "The sunset is infinitely good, thinking that it is almost dusk, and the old man is still not disagreeable!" The ancients said: The old man is in the woods, the ambition is thousands of miles, the seniors have rich experience in governance, and the younger generations implore the seniors to go out of the mountain and seek common causes! Xie Liancheng shook his head and said: "I have received your wishes, the old man is already in the age of the sixtieth year, and his fame and wealth have long been downplayed, so he must make noise again!" ”

"Senior, don't refuse, seniors are drawing conclusions after listening to me???????!" Yan Jiakang first talked about it from a macro perspective, and then talked in detail about the future development of Zhou Village in combination with the new policies of the imperial court. Xie Liancheng disagreed, especially when it came to building Zhoucun into the largest textile city in the country within 10 years, Xie Liancheng interjected: "Young man, how sure are you in your idea!" "I'm 70% sure, this is the ambition of the younger generation!" "It's unrealistic!"

At this time, Mrs. Xie served wine and food. "Lord Ge, the people take food as the sky, thin wine and vegetarian dishes, let's talk while eating!" During the meal, Xie Liancheng never mentioned the matter of governance, but talked about anecdotes. The conversation between the two gradually turned to the dynasties. Yan Jiakang asked with a wit: "Xie senior, all dynasties have their own merits, not to mention that the previous dynasties eventually perished because of all kinds of shortcomings, peeking into which dynasty is admired by the predecessors of history?" "In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was majestic and strategic, and those who offended my great Han dragon will be punished even if they are far away, what kind of courage is this."

Xie Liancheng unknowingly entered the trap. "Xie seniors, a generation of Mingjun Han Wu Emperor, issued the strongest voice in China, and the younger generations feel the same." "It seems that Master Ge is a man of temperament, and the three words with the strongest voice have a novel artistic conception." "Xie senior, the glory of the ancestors has become history, I want to know what the predecessors say about the Qing Dynasty?" "Emperor Kangxi created a prosperous generation, and his achievements are brilliant." "Senior, I have the opposite view of the Qing Dynasty?"

"The old man listens!" "It is true that the Qing Dynasty has made remarkable achievements in expanding its territory, but in terms of losing its territory, it is not distressing to sell Yetian. Actually, I'm not interested in Kangxi. "How?" "Today's Qing Dynasty is dying, cowardly and incompetent, and the small countries in Dongying dare to bully us, looking for the source, in fact, it is the evil fruit planted by Kangxi!" Xie Liancai couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Seniors, it stands to reason that we, as officials of the imperial court, should not have slanderous remarks, but facts have proved that Kangxi is short-sighted."

Xie Liancheng's face turned a little red and said, "Lord Ge, I want to hear your opinion?" "Predecessors, the biggest drawback of Kangxi's rule is that he closes himself off from the country, is blind and arrogant, and sits in a well and watches the sky. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the policy of closing the country was adopted, and the result was the death of the Qing Qing of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was established, and Kangxi, known as a generation of Ming monarchs, also adopted the strategy of closing the country to the outside world, which is enough to witness its short-sightedness. This national policy cut off China from contact with external civilizations and stifled the progress of the Chinese nation. It can be said that everything today planted the seeds of congenital deficiencies when Kangxi was in power. ”

"Seniors, look at what the children of the Eight Banners are like today, eating, drinking, and having fun without thinking of making progress, the officialdom is dark and deceitful. The national spirit and backbone of the Chinese nation are incomplete. The promulgation of new policies by the imperial court and the opening of ports and innovations were all forced. Frankly speaking, Emperor Guangxu had the heart to change the dying state body, but he had enough spare strength. At present, the only way out is to change the map, and although the pace is difficult, there must be a light at the end of the tunnel. ”

"Lord Ge's opinion shocked the old man, no wonder Lord Governor appreciates you!" "Seniors, when China has its own guns and warships, will foreigners still dare to bully us? But how to have a sharp weapon, the premise is that we must have manufacturing capabilities, and we must cultivate practical talents. The most important thing to achieve this goal is that we must have money in our hands and accumulate wealth by means of commerce and commerce in order to run various industrial factories. Making up for the dead may be where the hope lies, and the younger generation should not do their part. ”

"Lord Ge is very cunning, the old man is on your way, if Lord Ge is not in a hurry to go back, I want to continue to appreciate the unique high theory of Er and others!" "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the younger generation will not be ashamed to talk about it!"
