Chapter 345: He Xingzhi's Enlightenment
He is the Taishou of Chuzhou, and he is a real feudal official in name. He is in charge of all the people's livelihood economy in Chuzhou, and theoretically, he also dominates the fate of the people of Chuzhou.
All his decrees are closely related to the people of Chuzhou.
In the Yu Dynasty, the autonomy of the nineteen states was extremely high. A state is too guarded, and even has the authority to issue decrees directly without going through the cabinet. Watching the prestige of Xuantian Mansion gradually increase, it is even faintly higher than the trend of Taishou Mansion.
He Xingzhi couldn't help but reflect on what made Xuantian Mansion accepted and recognized by the people in just one year. What is it that makes Xuantian Mansion so popular with the people in a year?
The Xuantian Mansion of Chuzhou has only been established for one year, and he has been appointed as the Taishou of Chuzhou for seven years. Seven years of conscientious work, but not as good as Xuantianfu's one-year work?
He Xingzhi was not convinced!
He Xingzhi was born in a famous family, and the He family has a lot of scholars. At the age of fifty, he was able to become the Taishou of the most important state in Shenzhou, and he was also unique among his peers in the He family.
The good family style made He Xingzhi learn to abandon his subjective attitude very early and look at the essence of the problem with an objective eye. Whether it's Lu Sheng's luck, his show, or someone behind the scenes.
Behind the word-of-mouth, there must be substantial merit as a foil. Why would the people be so easy to deceive? So easily believe that Xuantian Mansion represents justice and is to protect them from being treated unfairly?
In the final analysis, it is the people who have received substantial benefits.
Take the rectification of the underworld forces as an example, Lu Sheng's bold move is very happy, and the people who have been oppressed by the underworld forces are naturally applauding and revitalizing and inspiring. There are no more hooligans on the streets, and there is no longer any need to worry about mountain bandits when you go out.
After that, Lu Sheng vigorously rectified the trading houses, and fixed the price of rice, salt, and cloth to death, and no matter whether it was a good harvest or a poor harvest, the price of grain could not be changed. This stabilizes the basic economy. In this era, gold is not yet a hard currency, the real hard currency is grain and salt.
After that, Lu Sheng cracked down on the car dealership and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and after the rectification, he introduced security regulations, limiting the minimum wage of workers and limiting the rules and regulations for car dealers.
When these things were quickly implemented by Xuantian Mansion, the entire Anqing Mansion took on a new look, and the order of the city became orderly. The most important thing is that Xuantian Mansion gave the people of Anqing Mansion something called hope.
In the words of the common people, such a day can be regarded as a head.
In the past month, He Xingzhi has spent more than two hours every day studying the implementation of the Xuantian Mansion's decree and the repercussions after its implementation. No matter how busy his official duties were, He Xingzhi insisted on doing so.
A month later, He Xingzhi finally realized in a half-dream, half-awake and daze. It's like an old monk who has entered meditation and suddenly becomes enlightened.
"Wrong...... It turned out to be wrong all along...... The people maintain stability and live and work in peace and contentment...... It's wrong, it's all wrong...... Living and working in peace and contentment cannot make the people feel happy, and living and working in peace and contentment brings only laziness. Day after day, year after year, how can it be fun to be boring?
Only when the years are not the same, and the year is getting better and better, can the people feel happy, and only when the people feel happy will they be grateful and identify with those in power.
That's what Lu Sheng did, Lu Sheng made the people feel safe and life became convenient, and the people worshiped Lu Sheng as a god. Where did he steal the limelight from us, but showed us a clear way.
Chuzhou wants to carry out reforms, and it wants great reforms! If he cannot accomplish this feat in his lifetime, the old man will not be willing to die, and he will not be willing to ......."
"Unwilling?" Mrs. He was woken up by He Xingzhi's confused words in her sleep, and opened her eyes and looked at He Xingzhi who had been with her for decades in confusion.
He Xingzhi closed his eyes, as if he was asleep. But in his mouth, he is still talking about unwillingness, innovation......
"Master, master, what are you dreaming about?
He Xingzhi slowly opened his eyes, and there was a pair of worried eyes.
"Master, what's wrong with you, I haven't talked in my dreams for a long time, why are you ...... today"
"Dream talk?" He Xingzhi's pupils were a little confused, and he slowly sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, "No, it's not a dream talk......
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hugged his wife in his arms, "It's just that my husband has figured out one thing, how long have we been in Chuzhou?"
"It's been seven years...... I still remember when I first came to Chuzhou, it snowed a lot. ”
"yes, it's been seven years...... How many seven years are there in life? Madam, you said that we have been in Chuzhou for seven years, has there been any change in Chuzhou in the past seven years?"
"Change? I am a woman who stays at home, how can I see any changes? At most, I will go to the street or go to incense. Feel...... There is no special change. Anqing City is still Anqing City, and the shops are also like that. ”
"You're right!" He Xingzhi closed his eyes with a wry smile, "I have been in power for seven years for my husband, and now I realize that in the past seven years, Chuzhou has no difference between having me He Xingzhi and not having me He Xingzhi, they are all the same." It's time to stir up the water in Chuzhou. ”
"Does the master want to implement the new policy?" asked Mrs. He in surprise.
In Dayu officialdom, the term "New Deal" is not unfamiliar, and many officials want to show their ambitions and will shout to implement the New Deal when they arrive in a new place. Up to the Taishou, down to the prefect.
However, the people decided that it would not be so simple to implement the new policies? Most of these new policies ended in failure. And the price of defeat can be a fatal blow to an official's political life.
So the New Deal is a risky thing.
"Sir, the New Deal is not a joke, and you need to be cautious. ”
"The husband has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, the official is the second grade, and he is one step away from entering the cabinet center, what are you afraid of for the husband? If the new deal is successful, it is no longer a luxury to go further, and if the new deal is not successful, it will just stop there. Moreover, the imperial court handed over tens of millions of people in Chuzhou to their husbands, not for their husbands to visit here. ”
"That'...... Do you want to invite Lu Xiangyang out of the mountain, when I chatted with Mrs. Lu before, Mrs. Lu said more than once that Lu Xiangyang had implemented new policies in many places, and all of them were successful without exception. He's a cadre who implements the New Deal. ”
"He is a good hand, but Lu Xiangyang's new deal is quite controversial and not the new deal I wanted. Besides, when it comes to the ability of the New Deal, who else in the world is more breathtaking than Lord Lu?"
"Lord Lu, Lu Sheng, isn't he in charge of Xuantian Mansion?"
"Madam, Xuantian Mansion is Dayu's biggest new deal in the past 300 years! Besides, Lu Sheng can be idle for a day after coming to Chuzhou? His new deal is really refreshing. If my husband hadn't been inspired by him, I don't know how long he would have been blinded. ”
"Hey, that's true to hear you say that. This Lu Sheng is a military attaché, and he still knows how to govern the local area? Duan is a civil and military all-rounder......
"Military attaché?" Hearing these two words, the corners of He Xingzhi's mouth twitched slightly, "Madam, who did you hear that Lu Sheng is a military attaché?"
"Isn't it? Isn't Xuantian Mansion just a yamen composed of a group of martial artists? all of them are ...... martial arts masters."
"Lu Sheng is the thirty-third Jinshi of the new branch of Shengde in the tenth year, and he is a talented man who is famous in Donghua Gate. Madame, don't hearsay, even if Lu Sheng belongs to Xuantian Mansion, he is also a military general. ”
"I see. ”
"Catch up with Ming'er, I'm going to Xuantian Mansion for a trip. Sleep, if you don't sleep again, you won't be able to sleep tonight. ”
Mrs. He hummed and lay down to sleep again, but He Xingzhi really didn't sleep all night. He knows the crux of Chuzhou, and he also knows the general direction of Chuzhou's new policy.
However, there is only one direction, but there are thousands of roads, crisscrossed by water, land, and sky. It's one thing to know where to go, but it's another thing to know how to go.
Lying in bed and thinking all night, the more I thought about it, the more energetic I became, but the more I thought about it, the more confused I became.
Early in the morning, after He Xingzhi hurriedly washed up, he didn't even eat breakfast, so he went out in a sedan chair and went straight to Xuantian Mansion.
"Who?" In the cafeteria, Lu Sheng asked with a surprised face holding a dough cake in one hand.
"Yes, the subordinates asked Mrs. He to wait in the guest hall. ”
Lu Sheng hurriedly put down the cake, wiped his mouth and stood up to leave, "Don't clean it up yet, I'll come back to eat later, I haven't eaten yet." ”
After explaining, Lu Sheng's figure disappeared in a flash.
"Why did He Taishou come to Xuantian Mansion suddenly, but what are the orders? Just send someone to inform you, why do you need to come over in person?" Lu Sheng walked out of the back hall and hurriedly said.
"Master Lu, I came here to ask for advice...... I took the liberty to forgive my sins. ”
"Have you eaten it?"
was asked by Lu Sheng, He Xingzhi's stomach suddenly screamed, indeed, I couldn't wait to come in the morning, and I didn't eat breakfast.
"It just so happens to be early time in Xuantian Mansion, so let's go to the cafeteria together for a meal, right?"
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. ”
In the cafeteria, the personnel of Xuantian Mansion had already eaten breakfast and went to their posts, leaving only Lu Sheng and He Xingzhi.
"Lord Taishou, do you want to change Chuzhou? This matter is not within the purview of Xuantian Mansion, right?"
"Lord Lu is modest, I made a special trip to ask for advice, Chuzhou has a vast area, but the income of the people of Chuzhou is not high. The imperial court handed over Chuzhou to me He Xingzhi, but He Xingzhi did not dare to have a vegetarian meal.
In terms of the new times of change, who can compare with Lord Lu in the current court? Lord Lu, although the Xuantian Mansion was determined by the emperor to set up, but the Xuantian Mansion can succeed and ride the wind and waves to move forward, and Lu Da is the leader. ”
"Who made the rumor?"
"Lord Lu, I am sincerely here to seek advice, not to be polite. ”
Looking at He Xingzhi's feverish eyes, Lu Sheng suddenly felt that the old fritter in front of him had taken some rejuvenating medicine and returned to the period of youthful enthusiasm?
"This ...... Then I'll be ugly.,If it's wrong, please correct it.。 Taishou wants to increase the income of the people and let the people live a prosperous life. However, due to the differences in culture and customs between states, the paths taken are also different.
There are nineteen states in Shenzhou, with Wuzhou and Zezhou being the richest. I am not familiar with Zezhou, but Wuzhou can be said.
My ancestral home is Suzhou, and I grew up in Jiangnan Province, which is known to the whole country for its wealth, but is Jiangnan Province naturally rich? 5,000 years ago, Jiangnan Province was called the Southern Wilderness. Where does the wealth of Gangnam Province come from?"
