Chapter 39: Follow the Profession

"Director Liu......" Lu Xiufu shouted out of breath behind Liu Meng.

Liu Meng stopped and looked back at Lu Xiufu, who couldn't walk. He was sweaty, but he wasn't that far. Since Lu Xiufu couldn't walk, Liu Meng also stopped, put down the equipment he was carrying, and called out to the technician carrying the measuring instrument, "Everyone rest for a while." ”

Under the scorching August sun, everyone stopped. The height gauge must have individual reference points. In order to build irrigation and drainage systems, it was necessary to carry out painstaking surveys on these plain lands, and all officials and cadres had to go into battle. Lu Xiufu sat sweating in the shade of the tree, and finally panted evenly, and saw that Liu Meng was using the long inhalation that Liu Meng taught everyone during the cadre training, and then his lips were closed and only a small mouth was left, and then he slowly exhaled from the small mouth.

Lu Xiufu couldn't help but sigh: "On such a hot day, the Taiwei is also running around. ”

Liu Meng glanced at Lu Xiufu, took out a cigar made of tobacco from Fusang Zhou from his arms and distributed it to everyone, and after taking a puff, he said, "That's how the captain is." If he can't do it himself, he rarely uses this standard to demand from others. Mr. Lu, don't mind. ”

When Lu Xiufu heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'm not blaming the captain. If the captain can do it, what can't I do? Anyway, I'm also a member of the society. ”

Listening to Lu Xiufu's excitement, Liu Meng smiled slightly, and continued to smoke slowly. The cigars rolled out of the tobacco leaves are very fragrant, and the tobacco leaves originally produced in Fusang Prefecture have been cultivated in the Great Song Dynasty for some years, but this kind of thing is easy to attract any bacteria after three years. Let the tobacco leaves die in patches. Later, the lieutenant ordered people to go to Luzon to plant.

Luzon is also a place where there are a lot of wild people, but it seems that this wildness also curbs the bacteria, and I haven't heard of any problems with the plantations there anyway. Moreover, the cigars made from the tobacco leaves from Luzon taste much better than those produced locally in the Great Song Dynasty.

While tasting a cigar, Liu Meng heard Lu Xiufu say: "The land that Taiwei Zhao said is state-owned, I think it is a bit light on the people's power. ”

"Letting you work is light on people's power." Liu Meng replied.

Lu Xiufu did not react to the unfriendly feeling in Liu Meng's words, he knew that people like Liu Meng were actually Zhao Jiaren's personal ministers at first. For them, whatever Zhao Jiaren says, they will do. Nothing to discount. However, Lu Xiufu didn't have such a consciousness, not to mention that he really had a lot of ideas, "According to Taiwei, of course I know the original intention of state-owned land. That is to enable people to cooperate more. If the land is privately owned, there is no reason for everyone to cooperate. Rather than cooperating with someone else, I might as well buy someone else's land and hire someone to do it myself. But this water conservancy project uses a lot of labor, and the people do it, so where else do they have so much energy. ”

Liu Meng was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't argue. He argued too many times when he was younger, so he knew that arguing with many people would not lead to results. Understand people, and communicate without speaking. If you don't understand, it's useless to say it. If you want to make what you don't understand become understanding, you have to learn it, not argue.

With such a view, Liu Meng said with the comfortable feeling of enjoying a cigar: "Either the water conservancy project will not start, or it will have to be completed when it starts." When the project is completed, the people will have more time to rest throughout the year. Your light people's power is also scored. Also, Mr. Lu, I think you should go on a ship and work for a while, or work in a factory for a while, or go to the army as a soldier. I learned a lot in these three places. In the past, I thought that if I had cultivated something, or if I had something, it would be eternal. Once the dam is repaired, it will no longer need to be repaired. Once the ships and machines are built, they can be used until they are old. With the weapon in hand, you can use it anytime, anywhere, for decades. But it's not that I don't understand, the world changes fast. ”

Even though Liu Meng's tone was calm, the people resting around him couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard it. Lu Xiufu, who was ridiculed, was a little annoyed, he rolled his eyes, and his voice became unkind, "It has nothing to do with light civilian power and maintenance." To do such a big project, where do the people have so much energy. ”

"Hmmm! I used to think so, I am a poor man, what can I do! Except for buying strength and eating together, I probably can't do anything. Liu Meng's voice was still relaxed, but he was very unhappy in his heart, "After following the Taiwei, I realized that I could do far more than I imagined." But someone has to be taught, someone has to lead the work, and there has to be enough money from the work to support themselves. In the past, Taiwei Zhao was not in power, so the people had no chance. Now that Taiwei Zhao is here, and Taiwei Zhao is still leading the people to do it together. I feel like the world has changed. ”

Lu Xiufu knew that Liu Meng didn't read much, so he thought that the sentence 'It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast' was mocking Lu Xiufu for not being knowledgeable. After listening to Liu Meng's later talk, I realized that Liu Meng's thinking was broader than Lu Xiufu imagined. The world he said really meant this world, not the Songjiang Mansion in front of him.

"But this is too much people's consumption. If it's a little bit worse......," Lu continued to insist on his opinion.

Liu Meng interrupted Lu Xiufu's words very rudely, "In order to avoid the pool, I have to carry these measuring equipment and follow the technicians with me." Mr. Lu, let me tell you, we have to talk about professionalism, and technicians also talk about professionalism. When we are assigned to work in this kind of place, we have to follow the profession. Let's carry the equipment well. ”

After saying this to such an extent, Lu Xiufu didn't want to hide anymore, but fought back directly, "It's not okay to worry about it?" ”

"If you have time to worry, it's better to study, it's better to work." No matter what Lu Xiufu thinks of Liu Meng, Liu Meng, who has followed Zhao Jiaren for more than ten years, is very envious of Jinshi, but he really doesn't take a Jinshi to heart. I try to look at it, it is better to climb the heights of the broad. Ascend and move, the arm is not lengthened, and the one who sees is far away; Blowing with the wind, the sound is not a disease, but the hearer is prominent. Those who fake horses are not profitable, but thousands of miles; Those who fake the boat are not able to water, but the rivers. A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng snuffed out the cigar and put it into the cigarette case where the half-cut cigarette was placed. He stood up and held the equipment and shouted to everyone, "Rest for a while, let's go to work." ”

The technicians got up one after another, looking at Lu Xiufu who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and no one dared to speak. So they went their separate ways. Liu Meng carried the equipment and walked forward with the technicians. After walking for a while, he looked back and saw that Lu Xiufu was not annoyed and angry, he actually stood up and carried the equipment assigned to him and followed behind everyone.

Even though he knew that he had greatly offended Lu Xiufu, Liu Meng couldn't help but praise Lu Xiufu in his heart. Even if you can just bend and stretch, you are not an ordinary person.
