An An lay on the table, looking through her sister Panpan's betrothal gifts one by one, and from time to time she put the jewelry on her head. Panpan sat aside, helped An An pick and try jewelry.

Chiro sat at the table on the other side, pretending to be reading, and occasionally peeking at the two sisters.

When Panpan is older, it seems that the girl will definitely get married, and she will grow up all of a sudden. She no longer acts like she used to be. She is obviously prone to affection for her sister and brother, and lets her sister play with her precious engagement jewelry.

Xu Ping sat on the chair, Lin Su Niang was watching a leisure book beside her, and from time to time looked up at her children.

Seeing that Zhilang couldn't sit still there, Lin Suniang whispered to Xu Ping: "How old is Zhilang? He will soon forget when he teaches his calligraphy. Where can I read? Look at him sitting there, just focus on playing with his sisters."

Xu Ping said: "I don't expect him to learn anything now, but it just gives him an impression that he has been studying hard since he was a child. When he is old, he will not have to control himself."

Lin Suniang smiled and said, "You were so lazy when you were a child that you couldn't read a few words with a stick. When you get older, you still understand and study hard and get a Jinshi. I think it's useless to force you to study when you were a child."

"I'm different. If my son was like me back then, wouldn't he scare the world?" Xu Ping smiled and shook his head. He was a man of two lifetimes, but he could not be able to pass the Jinshi by studying for two years. If Zhilang was the same, how could the world bear it?

Lin Suniang smiled and shook her head. Although she didn't believe what Xu Ping said, she did not object. As her husband reached the top of this era bit by bit, Lin Suniang finally got used to obedience. When she was a teenager, she could accuse Xu Ping of being wrong here and there. Now she has to admit that the positions of the two have changed.

Watching his children make trouble there, Xu Ping smiled. A real man still needs a destination of his heart after all. Xu Ping was not interested in becoming a wise man and becoming a saint. Perhaps it can be said that he had figured out what happened and completely let go of his spiritual burden. When he reached his current status, he should leave it to this world, what is left to his descendants to be proud of and what is enough to make them stand in the forest of the world.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman. First of all, I figure out what I want to do, how to do it, and relax my mind. Many things are not so anxious. Doing things bit by bit is just that, there is no need to look at this and that all day long, just like the world can save the people from the fire and fire. In fact, most people will feel responsible when they arrive at a certain position, and not many people are truly shameless. What the regime needs to do is to make people take the positive side and try to suppress their negative side. If you feel that most officials in the regime are useless, it must be that they are wrong, but that the system is wrong.

The legitimacy of the regimes in the Ming and Qing dynasties was not enough. While picking up the destiny again, they desperately showed themselves as the parents of the people. The court officials who were sandwiched between the emperor and the people became the emperor's retainers and slaves. The suffering of the people must be because the retainers and slaves were unfaithful, and they must be because they did not do things attentively and only took care of themselves to gain personal gain. In order to show their legitimacy to the people, the regime constantly investigated loyal ministers and treacherous ministers and corrupt officials. What loyal ministers and treacherous officials and corrupt officials are so important? The most basic requirement for the government for officials is to be in the right position, be upright or not, and be suitable for office. Regardless of the fundamental public morality of the world, they stared at the private morality of the officials, causing political tension and everyone was in danger. How can the governance capabilities of the bureaucratic system be expected to be sufficient?

Influenced by his previous life, Xu Ping was also trembling at the beginning, walking on thin ice, and was extremely careful all the way. Only when he became the prime minister could he truly understand. Only by forgetting that there is still public morality in the world, will he only focus on private morality and shoulder the burden of the world, and the direction of governing the government will be different. People have power and power, and most people will pursue enjoyment. This is normal. It is not the same as religious power that requires officials to be ruthless and desireless. Putting the enjoyment of officials on the surface, giving the ministers a little more relaxed, so that they can enjoy a better life in office. Otherwise, if the ruler is in charge and control the people's power of life and death, the result is that in front of many people under their jurisdiction, how can the mentality of those who govern the government be corrected like beggars?

Put these benefits in official positions and do good things. If you have merits on the court and the people, enjoy them. Being an official is not to practice with purity and few desires. Being a public person is to seek benefits for yourself and punish yourself according to the system. Don’t treat the stain on personal morality as a disadvantage that can never be corrected. If you punish, you will be punished, and if you demote, you will be demoted. If you correct it, you will be used as a normal thing.

When politics is relaxed, the mentality of officials will naturally improve, and they will know what responsibilities they should bear.

After thinking through it, Xu Ping's mentality became much more relaxed. In the past, it was difficult for him to have this mood. He sat with his wife and children like this, worry-free and enjoyed warm moments. At that time, when he got home, he would eat and drink some good things, and always have to reflect on himself. As an official, I have such a big family business and enjoy such enjoyment, what should the people do? Wear clothes for my son and daughter and buy precious items, and dare not let them go out, for fear that the people would feel resentful when they saw it.

The people are not ignorant, nor are they short-sighted. Xu Ping earned his family business by himself, and his salary is obvious. If he really has achievements for the people, the people will get benefits, so how can he feel resentful because of these things?

There are poor people in the world, just do things for them sincerely, and just formulate systems and governing to understand the sufferings of the people. There is no need to save money from your own mouth. If you have to make such a request, there are no qualified officials in the world.

Panpan came over, grabbed Xu Ping's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, if I really got married and were not with you every day, would you miss me?"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Of course I would think. Panpan, when I was young, I couldn't help but feel that my parents were close to me all day long, and I was worried about this and that if I couldn't see it for a moment. When I had a child, I was like my parents. Your father was a scoundrel in the capital when he was a child, and I didn't know how much trouble he caused. At that time, your mother-in-law, you didn't care about me and how much money you spent. But I blamed them for restraint and felt so bored. It was not until you had you that I remembered the past and knew the kindness of my parents."

Panpan nodded and suddenly laughed: "I am better than my father. You don't have to wait for me to have children, so you will know your parents' kindness!"

Xu Ping laughed, grabbed Panpan's hand, and said to her: "Do you know, what is my father worried about this day?"

Panpan tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "I think I can't bear to leave me."

"No, when your children are old, of course you have to get married, otherwise you will be raised as an old girl at home? I am worried that you will not be used to marrying the Su family in the future, and you will not be used to living, and you will be unhappy, and will also make your husband's family upset. To be honest, you are still afraid that your parents will not be around to make decisions for you, and you will have nowhere to tell me if your husband's family is bullied. Even if you know that Su Song is an honest child, you will never get rid of this worry. You are still afraid that you have been spoiled since childhood and have a little temperament, which will make your husband's family difficult at that time. My father is not afraid of being accused of being a goddaughter, but he doesn't want you to be criticized behind your back."

Panpan sat next to Xu Ping, holding her cheek, listening to Xu Ping's nagging, smiling. In the eyes of parents, the children will never grow up. However, Panpan really grew up, which is far more sensible than Xu Ping thought.

How can I learn from my mother Lin Suniang? Lin Suniang's reputation outside is a little stronger than being a little stronger. In recent years, Lin Suniang's strong temperament has gradually changed and gradually restrained. She has not quarreled with Xu Ping for a long time. When Xiuxiu came in, Lin Suniang did not allow her to enter her mansion, but in the past or two, Lin Suniang took the initiative to walk around Xiuxiu. No matter what she bought for her children, Lin Suniang would definitely prepare a copy for Shulang.

People have to grow up slowly, some of their temperaments remain unchanged, and some are constantly changing. There is nothing wrong with changing, as long as everyone is happy and they are not happy for a while in life, and they can be open to it and not become their own troubles.

Originally, Xu Ping disagreed with Panpan's marriage at this age, but he could not resist everyone alone. Panpan himself did not object, so he could only let Su Song pass the bride after he passed the Jinshi. However, Xu Ping would no longer let Su Song become an official in remote prefectures and counties like he did back then, and could not bring his family. He would definitely choose a closer place for him and take Panpan to office together.

As a prime minister, you don’t have to say it yourself, the judges’ court should also give this face.

Xu Ping was open-minded. The so-called setting an example is to ask yourself not to violate the system. With the system, you have rules. If you ask for things other than the system, you will inevitably make the same requirements for others. There is no need, why bother?

The officialdom is not a Shura field. If everyone has a small stomach and is worried every day, it is not a good thing for the people. Don’t make too many demands on officials, check their political achievements, determine their comments, and use appropriate places according to their temperament and abilities.

Don’t let the people regard officials as enemies, nor do you let the people regard officials as their parents’ benefactors. They are ordinary people who do such things. They wear this outfit to govern as required, and they will have a normal life if they take off their public uniforms. Normal people have seven emotions and six desires, so why can’t officials have them? It is enough to exorcise desires when wearing public uniforms.

An An put down his sister's jewelry on the table, came to Xu Ping, raised his head and said seriously: "Dad, my sister's jewelry is so beautiful. In the future, I will have such beautiful jewelry too?"

Xu Ping laughed, pulled An An over and said to her, "Yes, there must be! If there is no such thing, Dad will not allow that bastard to marry you!"

An An thought about it and asked again: "What if I like a husband, my family can't afford it if I have a poor family?"
