"Come on, everyone, do this!" Duan Tiande raised his wine glass in his dining room and said happily to several members at the same table.

Like Duan Tiande, these powerful local people in Jiangning Mansion were all happy. As soon as Duan Tiande persuaded him to drink, these people all picked up their wine glasses and drank all the beer inside. Duan Tiande sighed comfortably and ordered someone to pour wine for these landlords. Since learning that Wen Zhang was going to get out of Jiangning, Duan Tiande's mood outside the staff was much lighter. In the past three years, if there is Wen Zhang's name in a piece of news, it will inevitably bring pain to Duan Tiande. Now that this plague god is finally leaving, that's a good thing. Before Wen Zhang, the plague god, left, it was said that he was involved in a corruption incident. When the accounts were checked, it is said that Wenzhang ordered the accounts to be burned. The one who checked the accounts was not a weak chicken, and immediately grabbed Wen Zhang, who was deeply involved in this matter, and was nailed to Jiangning and couldn't move.

"Outside of Duan, your home-brewed ale is really good. Delicious! Delicious! The clerk shouted loudly with a full wine glass.

Hearing this praise, Duan Tiande smiled slightly, "This is also made up by the family, sell some money to drink porridge." ”

"Duan Yuanwai just loves to entertain us" Wang Yuanwai, who newly joined the group, said with a smile: "If this kind of thing is messed around, it can come out, why can't we mess around." Everyone knows that your Duan Fengming is in the Agricultural Bureau, and the people over there know how to make wine. ”

Hearing the name Duan Fengming, Duan Tiande felt a burst of complicated emotions in his heart. This son of the Duan family went to the countryside not too long ago to preside over the matter of renting land, which made Li Yuanwai run to Duan Tiande's side to make a fuss. If the younger generations of other clans made Duan Tiande so faceless, Duan Tiande would not remove this guy from the clan, and would have to go and slap him with a big mouth.

Duan Tiande, who was angry and smoky, finally chose to do nothing. Duan Fengming is a person from the government, Duan Tiande can go to Duan Fengming's side to play prestige, what can he do after playing prestige. He didn't dare to offend Duan Fengming to death, and it was impossible for Duan Fengming to resign. The division of land was not something that Duan Fengming came up with, but a poisonous plan of the government, and it was useless to scold Duan Fengming.

At this time, there was no need to toast, Qian Yuanwai took a sip of the wine glass, put down the wine glass and said: "Brothers, I heard that this ale wine was called a beer by the official family when it was in Hangzhou. In the end, everyone didn't know what the meaning of the beer word in this beer was, and finally the official family changed it back to ale. Although the official family has done something wrong, it is not that they refuse to listen to the persuasion of others. ”

Of course, everyone knows this statement, but the money outside the staff dare not say it explicitly, the golden wine in the cup is called beer or ale, and it is nothing to this group of outsiders. Qian Yuanwai hoped that Zhao Guanjia would be able to revoke the new tax law. But Qian Yuanwai felt that this was unlikely. At least with the ability of these people at the table, there is really no way to reach the heavens.

Others didn't speak, and Li Yuanwai already said angrily: "Let's not talk about the affairs of the official family, I heard that Wenzhang's dog thief has been arrested, as long as I can watch him tied up and escorted back to Beijing, I will burn high incense." ”

Lu Yuanwai nodded in response: "If Wen Zhang can really be arrested, there will definitely be someone in the court who will find a way to reverse Jiangning's affairs." When the time comes, the officials will not be able to do what they say. ”

"If someone in the court wants to take advantage of the matter of the Wen Governor's Mansion to make trouble, I'm afraid that the official family will be very angry." Song Gongming asked tentatively while pouring wine for Lu Feizhi across the table.

The golden beer bubbles up at the mouth of the wooden beer glass, and it looks like it is about to overflow, and then it bursts back into the glass. Seeing that Lu Feizhi was very impressed, he smiled and said, "Does President Song like to drink ale very much?" ”

"Huh?" This question was asked inexplicably, which made Song Gongming stunned. Noticing the foam that Lu Feizhi was staring at, Song Gongming replied: "Although this ale wine is delicious, it is foamy. Either it pours out of the cup and makes it all over the table. Or it looks full, but in fact, there is not much wine. I cared in my heart, so I tried to pour out what I could accept. ”

Lu Feizhi raised his head and looked at Song Gongming, "President Song, I will also talk about it through your words." It's not just you who care about foam when you pour the ale, and so do I. We will even care about a bubble, how can the official family not care about Jiangning's affairs. You must know that for the sake of this new tax system, Lu Hideo, the secretary of the household department, lost his official position. ”

Everyone knows that Lu Xiufu is probably the person who is particularly promoted by the Zhao official family, as long as it is about Lu Xiufu, the official family will actually let it go. Maybe Zhao Guanjia himself thinks that he is particularly good at concealing it, but in fact, everyone can see that he will have extra care for Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu in terms of promotion. It is that the two sides fall out, and other officials lose their positions because they oppose the new official system, then they are lost. Lu Xiufu lost his official position, and Zhao Guan's family personally issued a holy decree in the status of prime minister to ensure that Lu Xiufu's retirement benefits were in accordance with those of senior officials.

The official family especially cares about some courtiers, and other courtiers are dissatisfied and can only admit it. Even such a courtier could not shake the Zhao Guanjia by opposition, and after listening to Lu Feizhi's reminder, Song Gongming also felt that his slightly wavering mood had stabilized again.

"Governor Lu, drink one."

"That's four bars."

"Yes."

The wooden beer mugs collide against each other, making a less dull sound. Both took a big sip, then comfortably put down their glasses and sighed. After eating a piece of sausage, Song Gongming said: "It's about to be a day of green and yellow, and last year I went to the countryside to set up some grain to borrow grain for the people, and I felt that I was a little late." Many people had already borrowed grain from the landlords at that time. I want to leave earlier this year. ”

Lu Feizhi replied cheerfully: "Of course you have to do things that are good for the people." Since Chairman Song had already done it last year, it was not the case that I thought I would be impressed. Please also ask President Song to speak up for me to hear. ”

Song Gongming's eyes lit up, but his brows furrowed. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "But I don't know why Governor Lu is here?" ”

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. At present, we are fighting so much with the landlords, and only when the people support us can we win against the landlords. If there are no people, we will be a strong dragon fighting the head of the snake, but we are afraid that the landlord will do something that we can't cope with after being forced to be anxious. Lu Feizhi replied calmly. After finishing speaking, he looked at Song Gongming and waited for Song Gongming to answer.

Lu Feizhi also considered telling Song Gongming what the Zhao Guanjia said, but he gave up after weighing it repeatedly. If the Zhao Guanjia really wanted the two of them to know the Zhao Guanjia's requirements for them so clearly, then there would naturally be corresponding arrangements. Zhao Guanjia didn't say anything, so there was no need for Lu Feizhi to talk to that point first. What's more, this remark involves Wenzhang's appointment and dismissal, and it is not appropriate to take it out and say it together.

Song Gongming's expression changed slightly, and then he also looked at Lu Feizhi a few times, and said a little helplessly: "It's rare that Governor Lu can think like this." Although the people in the township are pitiful, they are very jealous of the government. ”

"I know." Lu Feizhi said with a smile. He took out his disaster relief experience and told Song Gongming.

After Song Gongming heard about the disaster, the people in the county did not talk about the good of the army and the water conservancy bureau at all. He nodded repeatedly, "The people do. ”

"I also felt very lost at the time, and I felt that I had risked my life to help the disaster, which was a bit in vain. But later I found out that although the people didn't say anything, when the county asked the people to do something, the people were at least willing to take some time to help the government explain the reason. Before the disaster, no matter what the government said, the people felt that the government was trying to harm them. At least to exploit them. Lu Feizhi recounted his experience.

Song Gongming's brows furrowed slightly, he felt that some of what Lu Feizhi said was beyond his imagination.

"President Song. Although the people have various practices that people disagree with, the people are not stupid at all. They also know where the so-called benefits lie. I have been an official for so many years, and I have discovered one thing, in fact, we don't know how miserable the people are, so we don't know where the interests of the people are. Whoever grasps this point in everything is invincible. As far as President Song is concerned, the things that the people can't rely on in their lives are all things that the people can't rely on to solve. As long as President Song arrives in the township, the people will never hesitate. ”

“…… Since Governor Lu said so, I am willing to believe that Governor Lu will not pay lip service to the truth. I went to the countryside to do this, asking for people, money and food. This money and food is not money and food for the people, but a subsidy for the extra people who are busy with this matter. ”

"This is natural. President Song gave me an application, and I approved it. But I also have an idea, I don't know what President Song thinks. If you do this, you must have offended the landlord greatly. They are afraid that they will not simply scold a few words. ”

"Lu Zhifu means ......"

"I read "Five Worms", Han Feizi said in it, there are untalented children today, the anger of the parents is changed, the villagers are moved, and the teachers teach the Buddha to ......change."

Lu Feizhi's words are to the effect that now suppose there is such an immature son, and his parents are angry with him, and he does not repent; The villagers rebuked him, but he did nothing; The division commander taught him, and he did not change. took the love of his parents, the help of his neighbors, and the wisdom of his teachers at the same time, but he was never moved, and refused to change his ways. It was not until the local officials took weapons and carried out their official duties according to the law, and searched for the bad guys, that he became afraid, changed his old habits, and became prone to evil deeds. Therefore, the love of parents is not enough to educate their children well, and they must rely on the government to enforce strict criminal laws; This is because people are always pampered when they are loving, and they give in when they see power.

Although Song Gongming is very tanned, it doesn't mean that he is coarse. There is no one in the society who does not read, and Song Gongming is not a rough person. After listening to Lu Feizhi's story, Song Gongming smiled and said: "The official family appreciates the First Empire of the Qin and Han Dynasties. This Han Fei was the person at that time. ”
