Although Fan Yaochen spoke calmly, the flavor of the lessons in it was very strong.

is his own son-in-law, so he will bother to speak so bluntly.

But Yang Yifu didn't think so in his heart.

The same thing was said by the professors of Qingming Academy in the past.

But he never believed it.

If you really follow the steps of seniority, how can this father-in-law in front of him sit in the position of governor at this age? Not to mention that if it weren't for the continuous natural and man-made disasters in the north and south last time, I wouldn't be sitting in the seat of the prime minister now!

This is said by the people next to him, and there may be a minute and a half of persuasiveness, but his own father-in-law is really a bit ironic.

When did you get through the qualifications again?! Why do you want me to boil my qualifications??

However, Yang Yifu is well versed in the way of speaking, so naturally he will not poke out the thoughts in his heart directly, let alone sarcastically mock him in person, who is still a good father-in-law, he only nodded and responded: "What the adults said is that the son-in-law really thinks left." ”

"It's just that they also came out of Jixian County that day, Gu Yanzhang and Zheng Shixiu, and now they have all moved step by step, and they have not been surveyed according to normal people, but they are straight up, with them for comparison, the son-in-law ...... Somewhat uncomfortable. ”

Hearing his son-in-law talk about the two people from Jixian County, Zheng Shixiu didn't care, and as soon as Gu Yanzhang's name came into his ears, Fan Yaochen also became a little uncomfortable.

Although he is a son-in-law, he is not his own biological son, and many words cannot be said openly.

How do you tell him that these rules are for ordinary people, and some people don't need to follow them?

Although the other party is not from his own faction, there are some things that he has to admit.

How many Gu Yanzhang have been in the world?

Liu Boshan has received this personal disciple for most of his life, and his qualifications can be seen.

Gu Yanzhang was born in Yanzhou, fled to Jixian County at the beginning of the big change, and when he returned to Yanzhou, he encountered the matter of being trapped as a servant again, all the way from a desperate situation to survive, kill a bloody road, and then even in the three yuan, and made countless achievements in Ganzhou, the mind, temperament, and means are very human.

An ordinary official, even if he has been an official all his life, may not have experienced as many things as he has experienced in the past few years, and it is really naïve to use ordinary rules to put on his head.

Fan Yaochen felt that although he couldn't say it directly, so as not to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige, he also had to let his juniors know that self-confidence was a good thing, but if he was too conceited, he would suffer a big loss.

He thought for a while and said, "Do you know how many homeless people were there when Gu Yanzhang was in Ganzhou that day?" ”

Yang Yifu's complexion changed slightly.

He almost brought out the civil unrest when he fumed the displaced people in the past, but now when he heard Fan Yaochen speak like this, he had to think crookedly, so he had to reluctantly say: "I heard that it is tens of thousands." ”

"More than 139,800 people, nearly 140,000." Fan Yaochen reported a number, "He just received the holy decree to return to Beijing, the people of the city all went out to send each other, the cars and horses could not move, Ganzhou cried and begged for re-election, Zhang was going to take over, in just a few months, thousands of people who had been left behind, moved away nearly 10,000, and the camp was less than a month, and most of them were gone." ”

"The Fushou Canal he repaired, only half a year, the shelves have all been erected, and now that the person has changed, it has been another half a year, but it is still procrastinating, and the progress has hardly made much progress."

In fact, it is clear that there is a whole set of systems left by Gu Yanzhang in the past, and this system has always been effective, but Zhang Zhi is unwilling to copy it all, so it is okay, and he has to change it from beginning to end, beyond recognition.

After Zhang changed the rules, the strong men did three out of five every day compared to the past, but what they got was less than half, and they had to be pressed by the more and more strict and weird, and there was no reason for them.

The displaced people are not from this place, and if they want to run, they have no scruples at all, just say a little in advance, and it just so happens that the disaster in their hometown has disappeared at this time.

After Zhang arrived in office, he could hear the complaints of the officials, and he also felt that Gu Yanzhang's request for each camp to report in advance was too cumbersome, but in fact, the effect was not very large, and the labor was increased in vain, so this matter was reduced.

Who knows that as soon as people walk up, it is like a flying stream straight down 3,000 feet, and they can't stop it.

There was no choice but to draw people from Ganzhou to serve in conscription.

The canal repair in the summer, at this time, is not the original people who treat people as people, but treat people as dogs, after a day of labor, half of their lives will be sunburned to death, and half of them will be shed together with blood and sweat.

Zhang Zhizhou's actions naturally attracted a lot of backlash, not to mention the rest, those who just settled down ran out, and those in their hometowns had to serve in their own homes this time, and for the sake of saving their lives, they also ran out, making the original increase in thousands of household registrations, not only did the numbers not go up again, but also fell by thousands.

The strong men who repaired the canal in the city of Ganzhou picked up the bowl and ate the rice that Zhang was waiting to give, put down the bowl and scolded the mother, and criticized the uncle of the queen mother from beginning to end, crying behind their backs to "Gu Tong is sentenced to come back to take care of things", and the city was full of complaints.

The people of the Imperial City Division were afraid of Empress Dowager Zhang, and they didn't dare to report Zhang Zhizhou's actions at will, but the Jiangnan West Road transfer envoy did not hesitate for a moment, and a bullet seal went directly to the desk of the Son of Heaven, and there were even those officials from the Imperial History Tower, as if a dog who had been hungry for three days had seen, and then pounced on it and scolded.

In the end, Zhang Zhi was fine, but it was a pity that the new Tian Shaozu Tian Tongju, although he also had some ability, but how could he overpower the uncle of the queen of heaven, naturally he didn't do bad things, and he had to carry the black pot.

Comparing Gu Yanzhang's actions in Ganzhou with Zhang Zhi's brief explanation to his son-in-law, Fan Yaochen said again: "The same thing, different people do it, the result is so far apart, in addition to each person's ability, it naturally depends on everyone's experience, although you have the heart to act in Gucheng County, but in the end it is a little reckless, you need to experience a few more years, in fact, it is not a loss." ”

"Unless you have Gu Yanzhang's talent for governing the world, and the merits you have made, no matter who can't cover it, you can use it for three years a year, step by step—but even so, his own official has been pressed again and again, if all of it is given to him according to his original merits, how can it be a small Gouyuan now? It's all due to seniority. ”

Since he is a son-in-law, he is naturally a half-son, and Fan Yaochen patiently analyzed with Yang Yifu for a long time.

However, Yang Yifu hesitated for a moment before asking, "My lord...... Then Gu Yanzhang, didn't he follow Chen Jiedu to Guangnan to quell the chaos now? If it is really as you said, he is one of the best people in the world, and he will make meritorious deeds in the future and return to the capital......"
