In mid-February, Jia Weixin and his cadres rode back to Fuyang County. After learning the news, Liu Boxiong, the county magistrate, felt a little surprised. A month ago, this Jia Weixin came from Hangzhou and was sent by the government to increase the production of raw silk. After that, Jia Weixin ran to the countryside and never appeared in the county again. I haven't heard much about this person for a month, and suddenly heard that Jia Weixin came back, Liu Boxiong couldn't help but doubt that there was really such a person as Jia Weixin in this world, and he even suspected that Jia Weixin had run back to Hangzhou in this month.

The cadres who followed Jia Weixin were called by Liu Boxiong, and the magistrate asked what Jia Weixin had done in the past month.

"Director Jia is a village by village. When I arrived at each village, I asked how many mulberry trees there were, whether silkworms had been raised before, and what the income in the village was. Then tell them about the plans of the official family, and the benefits of growing mulberry and silkworms. The cadre briefly introduced the experience of this trip.

"If you just talk about that, it won't take you a month." Liu Boxiong said unconfidently.

These words made the cadre's eyes widen, and he said in a tentative tone: "Liu Zhixian, even if you run two villages a day, you can only run sixty villages in a month. On the way this time, I sent someone to inform the nearby villages in advance, so that everyone could gather together for a meeting. Only then did I barely see all the village chiefs. ”

When the cadres reported to the magistrate, Jia Weixin returned to his temporary residence and sorted out the records of the trip.

"XX village chief, if your village sends silkworm cocoons out, how far can you go?"

"OO village chief, if your village uses more people to collect mulberries and feed silkworms, how many people can be used?"

"XO Village Chief, if you let your village raise more silkworms, how can you rest assured that you can pay the bill?"

"OX Village Chief, if you are a ...... of your village"

Everywhere he went, Jia Weixin asked many questions when he talked to the local village chief, and several books were recorded in the booklet alone.

After comparing these records one by one against the map, Jia Weixin began to write a report. Before he followed Zhao Guan's family to do the community gathering work in Lin'an, he finally understood the meaning of the so-called layout.

After spending two days planning, Jia Weixin went to meet Liu Boxiong, the magistrate of the county. Listening to the suggestion made by Jia Weixin, who was a little sluggish, Liu Boxiong was shocked, and he asked loudly, ""You actually want the official family to come to Fuyang County to convene the heads of various villages to speak?" ”

"Exactly." Jia Weixin replied.

"How can we call the officials!"

"This has nothing to do with calling the official's family, this is trying to ask the official's family for help."

“…… Never! Never! ”

"If you don't want to, I'll give the official a table." Jia Weixin did not give up in the-for-tat dispute.

Regarding such an outrageous practice, Liu Boxiong said angrily: "If you are on the table, don't involve me." ”

"Good. I am on my own. Jia Weixin replied decisively, "But this layout, can you sign it?" ”

Liu Boxiong looked at the not thin thing and wanted to push it aside. After pondering for a moment, Liu Boxiong still took it. After only reading a few pages, Jia Weixin lost interest. What is written here is the setting of the silk reeling point, those place names, those places, most of Liu Boxiong does not know. Even those who know are all from the country. This made Liu Boxiong not interested.

"I'll talk about that in a few days." Liu Boxiong gave Jia Weixin an explanation.

"I'll wait for you until tomorrow. If you sign it, we'll write it together and send it to you. If you don't sign it, I'll give it to the official family with this attached to my recital. ”

As soon as he heard Jia Weixin's words, Liu Boxiong firmly believed that Jia Weixin still wanted to pull Liu Boxiong into the water. He immediately threw this on the table and replied coldly: "Don't wait until tomorrow, I'll tell you now, I will never sign it." ”

"If you don't want to sign it, then I'll send it out now." The department that delivered the documents was here in the county yamen, and Jia Weixin immediately invited the person in charge, sorted out his things and handed them to the person in charge, and asked him to send them out now.

Soon after, Jia Weixin left the county yamen. Jia Weixin despised Liu Boxiong's ignorance and incompetence. Jia Weixin is also very happy about Liu Boxiong's ignorance and incompetence. This time, he can finally monopolize the credit and don't have to share it with Liu Boxiong, a fool. Or with such a righteous and bright means.

When his grandfather Jia Yidao was prominent, Jia Weixin was still young and didn't understand things in officialdom. After his grandfather was bad, Jia Weixin knew that the world was hot and cold, and life was bumpy. began to understand the cruelty of officialdom. After a while, the surrender of President Lin'an occurred. At that time, Jia Weixin fled to Fuzhou with his father and defected to the small court of Fuzhou. After that, he started as a cadre and gradually became a division chief.

When his grandfather came back from exile after all these years, Jia Weixin communicated with his grandfather many times and understood many things that had puzzled him. Jia Rudao made it clear that all officials are unreliable. If you want to get things done, you have to be able to mobilize the grassroots as Zhao Jiaren said.

If Liu Boxiong is willing to co-sign, he can get a share of the credit effortlessly. Liu Boxiong refused to co-sign at this time, and many people around him were very aware of Liu Boxiong's refusal to co-sign. If Liu Boxiong still has a little bit of shame, probably this person will no longer have the face to do anything to compete for merit.

Of course, Jia Wei also made some preparations in his confidence. Jia Rudao said that many officials are not honest. The Zhao official family is ashamed to do this, and the official who does not dishonor the monarch's life is a well-deserved moral apex. However, there are too few officials like Zhao Guanjia.

In the opinion of Liu Boxiong, the magistrate of Fuyang County, the rebellious recital was quickly sent to Lin'an, and the waiter in charge of handling the official documents in the political hall was furious after reading it. It's just that Zhao Guan's family has explained that the official documents of these counties must be sent immediately, and the waiter came to see Zhao Guan's family with a piece of indignation.

According to the system of the Great Song Dynasty, the left and right prime ministers were appointed and dismissed by the official family, and the left and right prime ministers were responsible for handling the affairs of the political hall. The fact that the Zhao family did not appoint a prime minister does not mean that the political hall has been dissolved since then. Theoretically, all the power in the world belongs to the official family, and the power of the political hall also belongs to the power of the Zhao official family, but the system is handed over to the left and right prime ministers to manage. Since the Zhao official family does not hand over the power in their hands, the Zhao official family, who is also the prime minister, will run the political affairs hall. If you don't mention the change in Zhao Jiaren's identity, the structure of the imperial court has not changed from the previous time when Zhao Jiaren was alone.

After reading the recital sent by the squire of the Political Affairs Hall, Zhao Jiaren smiled at the angry squire: "This kid still knows how to measure. He was ambitious, but he carried out an errand that I personally ordered to promote. ”

"Official, I always feel that letting him go so much will probably cause others to follow suit." The squire made a point of view in a huff.

Zhao Jiaren poured a glass of water for the waiter, and calmly persuaded: "Don't worry. As long as we are measured, we will not fall into the trap of those boys. Since I directly ordered this to be promoted, I certainly have to take responsibility. If it's something that the boys are pushing, don't want me to take the blame for them. There will be a lot of such things in the future, and we should not be caught in them. ”

After listening to what the Zhao official family said to this point, especially admitting that the increase in silk production was personally ordered by the official family to promote, the squire could only be silent for the time being. Compared with the identity of the official family, the officials and cadres of the political hall are more familiar with Zhao Jiaren, who combines the prince and the captain. Any policy pursued by the ministers of the government hall is related to their status, and if the promotion fails, they are likely to be deposed.

Zhao Jiaren has only been in the official position for a year......

The squire was thinking about it, but he saw that Zhao Guanjia had already written something. After writing, as soon as I checked it and stamped it, I called a confidential secretary. Before the confidential secretary arrived, he handed the things to the squire, "Take a look." ”

It is written that Zhao Guanjia asked Liu Boxiong and Jia Weixin to call the village heads of all villages in Fuyang County to the county seat, and don't tell the village chiefs that Zhao Jiaren will go over in person, but just call them to the county to discuss first. After reading it, the squire said in surprise: "Do you want to think twice?" ”

Zhao Jiaren smiled slightly, "This kind of thing is based on success or failure, and it is just a matter of doing it." ”

"Shouldn't we be more cautious about success or failure?" The squire's voice was much lower.

"Being a man is a lifelong thing, and it is only when the coffin is closed that the person is dead. In terms of success or failure, heroism is to finish one thing and start again. This one succeeded, and we'll have to move on to the next one. This thing failed, and we had to move on to the next one. For such things, we just have to admit it. ”

"Official, but there will always be people with ill intentions and nonsense...... "The squire said very carefully.

"You're right, there are people like that. However, the imperial court has the responsibility of education, and we run schools, newspapers, open clubs, and organize various learning activities, so that those who have just not learned the right ideas can realize the correct truth, embark on the right path, and become useful laborers. The government and the laborers rule the world together. In addition, the imperial court has the power to punish, and for those who act with such ill intentions, the imperial court must punish and reprimand. to set the record straight. If people with wrong ideas say that we are wrong, we will have to listen to their standards. ”

"This ...... Of course not. After speaking, the squire lowered his head.

At this moment, the confidential secretary had arrived. Zhao Jiaren handed over the order to the secretary, "Send it to Fuyang County." ”

Waiting for the confidential secretary to leave, Zhao Jiaren said to the waiter: "You also participated in this matter, do you want to write a discussion about the internal study of the society." ”

"If you write about it, what will you use as the theme?" Squire asked.

"Alignment of rights and responsibilities." Zhao Jiaren replied decisively.

"The official family wants to determine the good and evil in the world?" The squire is very sharp-minded, and those who can sit in this position are not ordinary people.

"It is our duty to determine what is good and evil in the world. So I can't turn a blind eye to that. Zhao Jiaren replied very proudly.
