Liu's mother was angry: "You, you, don't you usually boast that you know astronomy and geography, why don't you even know the governor of this province, and we don't recognize it, you are a proofreader in the newspaper hall, how can you not know Mount Tai?" ”

Liu Cunren said: "Madame is angry, not to mention that the Jiangdong Times has never published the jade photos of Supervisor Chen, even the few photos I came into contact with were all before he had a beard. ”

Mother Liu said angrily: "Still quibbling, it's just that you can't recognize it, and you're still making a lot of nonsense in front of others, now it's okay, Ting'er's rice bowl will also be smashed by you, and our family will drink the northwest wind." ”

Liu Cunren sighed: "It's come to this point, it's too late to say anything, I don't think Supervisor Chen is like a person with a narrow temperament, maybe our family is extremely Tailai, and it is unknown when it comes to operation." ”

"Dream on you." Liu's mother went out to take the child in a rage.

The next morning, Liu Ting went to work as usual, and Liu Cunren was about to take a pen and paper to the door of the post office to write a letter to his family.

Just about to go out, a few Jiangdong Times printers got off the night shift, and came to visit Liu Cunren, everyone sat in one place and sighed for a long time, complaining that the boss was not close to people, and sighed that the world was difficult to mix, and finally took out an envelope and said, this is everyone's share, Lao Liu, don't dislike it, take it first, what is the way, we will help you pay attention.

Liu Cunren is very grateful, the workers are not well paid, and they still help themselves, they are really kind people.

The workers were about to say goodbye, suddenly someone knocked on the door, Liu Cunren asked the child to open the courtyard door, and the one who came in was a well-dressed middle-aged man, followed by two entourage, very politely handed over the business card, introduced himself as Gu Moumou, the secretary general of the secretariat of the Office of the Supervision Office, and then took out a red bronzing cardboard fold from his arms with a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Liu, congratulations." ”

Liu Cunren was taken aback and hesitated: "This, this, where does this start?" ”

Secretary-General Gu said: "You were hired as the chief staff member of the Secretariat of the Office of the Governor, but you are a talent hand-picked by Supervisor Chen, the future is limitless, and when you are developed, don't forget your brother." ”

Liu Cunren was dumbfounded, the words that comforted his family yesterday turned out to be true, the Liu family came to run, the chief clerk of the Supervision Office, it sounds magnificent, and he is in the Qianqing, that is, the master of the governor's yamen, and those Qipin county orders outside have to say hello when they see it, and they are called Mr.

The printing workers looked at each other even more, what kind of luck did Lao Liu go, and he became an official!

Liu Cunren accepted the letter of appointment and hurriedly invited Secretary-General Gu into the house to talk, and the workers left with great discernment, and the children at home also went out to play obediently.

Secretary-General Gu looked at a few fluttering lines on the wall with interest and said, "You wrote these these?" ”

"Yes, I have nothing to do, and I like to write two strokes to make you laugh." Liu Cunren said cautiously.

"This is not something that can be practiced in ten or twenty years." The Secretary-General is a man of knowledge.

Liu Cunren said: "I won't tell you, I started practicing calligraphy when I was three years old. When it comes to calligraphy, Liu Cunren is still quite proud.

"Yes, how is Xiaokai written?" Secretary-General Gu asked again.

Liu Cunren was already faintly aware of something, and he didn't speak, he immediately spread out the rice paper, selected a lake pen from the pen stand, polished the Hui ink, and wrote a picture of Zhuge Liang's "Teacher Table".

"Secretary-General Gu, I can write a little bit of Zhencao Lizhuan, Oracle Bone Inscription, Jin Wen, and Han Jian." Liu Cunren spread out another piece of paper and made a gesture to write.

Secretary-General Gu smiled: "No, the superintendent said, Mr. Liu's calligraphy is excellent, I also want to appreciate it, it really deserves its name, it is like this, our secretariat lacks a handwriting, supervising the issuance of official documents, notices, etc., someone must write it first, and then let the craftsman carve it into a template, your ability is more than enough." ”

Sure enough, Liu Cunren breathed a sigh of relief, yesterday at the wine table he gushed a lot of political and military opinions, but it was all on paper, if the superintendent hired him as a staff member and made suggestions to counsellor military affairs, then he would be blind, fortunately he was a writer, and he was in his mind.

……

The Secretariat of the Office of Supervision and Supervision has carried out a personnel adjustment, and a new chief clerk Liu Cunren has been added, who is responsible for copying official documents, engraving wax paper, and writing letters.

Liu Ting, the former clerk of the archives, was transferred to Chen Zikun's personal secretary, specializing in supervising one person, and the desk was set up next door to the handsome signing room.

Zheng Zeru, who brushed the thatched house, was also promoted, and Chen Zikun sent him to the provincial government as an agricultural commissioner, responsible for the specific work of the implementation of the new policy, and Mai Ping was also transferred, but there was no change in his position, and he was still a low-level clerk.

The Jiangdong New Deal is a new political and economic measure carried out by Chen Zikun in the rural areas of Jiangdong by imitating Shanxi's experience. That is, it is forbidden to keep braids, prohibit foot binding, prohibit opium smoking, build water conservancy, plant trees, and raise sericulture; Afforestation, cotton planting, animal husbandry.

At the same time, the village system was rectified, villagers' meetings were held, village models were organized, village agreements were concluded, mobile courts were set up, and militia groups were organized and trained.

It was not appropriate for these political measures to be issued in the name of the military affairs superintendent, so Chen Zikun specially set up a special agricultural bureau, personally concurrently served as the chief superintendent, recruited dozens of college students to serve as agricultural commissioners, and sent one from each county with a class of guards, so that these energetic and enthusiastic young people could go to the vast rural world to toss and turn.

The Office of Agriculture and the Office of the Governor of Agriculture are co-located, and one after another orders are issued from the Office, which are transcribed into large characters by Liu Cunren of the Secretariat, handed over to the stonemasons to carve into templates, printed 100,000 copies, and sent them to all parts of Jiangdong.

Chen Zikun gave instructions to plant plane trees in the provincial capital, to carry French plane trees on both sides of the main roads, and to provide free education for all primary schools in the provincial capital, not only with free books, but also with a meal every day.

In addition, Springfield imported 500 merino breeding sheep from Australia, set up a model pasture in the provincial capital, cultivated excellent breeds, and then promoted them to the whole province after breeding.

At the same time, Ruan Mingchuan's "Huaijiang Daily" was also in full swing, the Fengjun imposed news control, Beijing newspapers ceased publication one after another, reporters and editors had no way out, so they had to go south to make a living, some went to Shanghai, some went to Guangzhou, and some old acquaintances of Beijing Daily came to Jiangdong at Ruan Mingchuan's invitation.

The newspaper is located in the bustling area of the provincial capital, Chen Dashuai came to cut the ribbon when it opened, and Shi Liangcai, the boss of the Shanghai declaration, also came to cheer, the printing press was imported from Germany Heidelberg, and the white newspapers were also imported from Canada, regardless of software and hardware, they were the strongest in China.

The sales volume of Huaijiang newspaper on the first day exceeded 10,000, and it had to be temporarily printed, and the sales volume of more than 10,000 was nothing for the declaration, but for the provincial capital of Jiangdong, it was already an unprecedented thing, and you must know that the Jiangdong Times had worked hard for ten years, and it was only 8,000 copies of daily sales.

……

There was still a war going on in the north, the troops of Feng and Wu Peifu stormed the Nationalist army in Nankou, the south was also at war, the Northern Expeditionary Army had already captured Hunan, and Jiangdong Province was located in the Central Plains, which was calm for the time being, but it was only the last calm before the storm.

In the summer, the Jiangdong Provincial Governor's Office welcomed a mysterious guest from the south, who was small and spoke with a Cantonese accent, and Da Ra asked to meet Chen Dashuai, who met him in the signing room.

"Chen Dashuai, please reprimand." This person glanced at Yan Su and Zhao Yufeng who were on the side.

Chen Zikun said: "Chen has always been above board and does not avoid people. ”

The man said: "In Shimoda Jishan, he is the personal representative of Mr. Wang Zhaoming, chairman of the National Government, and a letter from Mr. Wang Zhaoming is forwarded to the superintendent. ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter and wanted to step forward.

"Stand there!" Zhao Yufeng stopped him, stepped forward to take the letter, and checked it before putting it in front of Chen Zikun.

Chen Zikun unfolded the letter paper and looked at ten lines, the letter was written by Wang Zhaoming, sprinkled with thousands of words, first remembering Mr. Sun Wen, and then reminiscing about the past, talking about the brief interaction with Chen Zikun when Mr. died in Beijing last year, saying that he was very impressed and very good, and finally gave full affirmation to Chen Zikun's recent revolutionary words and deeds, praising him as an excellent member of the Kuomintang.

Seeing that Chen Zikun finished reading the letter, Tian Cishan said: "Chairman Wang has a secret order for Chen to supervise. ”

Chen Zikun was puzzled: "How can I say this, I am the military affairs supervisor of Jiangdong Province, and I am not from your national government, how can Chairman Wang give the order?" ”

Tian Cishan was slightly displeased and said, "Are you a member of the Kuomintang?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "I am the first prime minister's guard, so I am naturally a party member. ”

Tian Cishan said: "Chairman Wang is the chairman of the Kuomintang, and it is not okay to give orders to party members with the dignity of the chairman? ”

Chen Zikun smiled: "Of course you can, take it." ”

Zhao Yufeng stepped forward to take the secret order, Chen Zikun glanced at it, put it down and said, "Chairman Wang's order, forgive me for being difficult to obey." ”

Tian Cishan said: "Oh? But why? ”

Chen Zikun said: "Although I broke with the Beijing government, I have never recognized the Guangzhou government as orthodox, and I can naturally ignore the orders given by Chairman Wang as the chairman of the government. ”

Tian Cishan said: "But you just admitted that you are a member of the Kuomintang." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Yes, but the country and the party are not the same thing, one yard is one yard, you can let me pay the party dues, and you can vote in favor, but you ask me to mobilize the army to fight Sun Chuanfang as the Jiangdong superintendent, I can't do it." ”
