Cen Zhong left Dushan with a somewhat disappointed mood.

He has always felt that he is a benchmark in the world who can read books well and do things well.

He looked down on those fools and fools who didn't read, and even more looked down on those who read books so stupidly that they only knew the basics of poetry and poetry.

Because most of the fools who are not educated people know that they are stupid, but they are still willing to obey the leaders and follow orders. But those guys who are stupid people who are ignorant of books think that God is first and he is second. It is obvious that they are not good, but they still refuse to admit it.

, once you do something wrong, it’s everyone else’s problem.

For such a person, it is okay if he does not do anything, at least he can only harm the people around him, but once he becomes an official and takes charge of a party, he will harm the people of that party.

There are still a lot of people who are born like this.

Cen Zhong always looked down at such a guy from a high position. He didn't say anything, but his heart was filled with contempt.

Until he met Xiao Cheng.

A scholar whose reading is no worse than him or even better than him.

His father, Master Cen, explained this point, and Cen Zhong had to accept it, because he himself was taught by Master Cen step by step.

But at the same time, Xiao Cheng is still a person who does things better than him.

Maybe it will be better than that.

However, Cen Zhong's self-esteem does not allow him to think that he is too far behind Xiao Cheng.

Compared to Cen Zhong, Xiao Cheng truly started from scratch when he came to Southwest.

When Cen Zhong came back, Xiao Cheng had already opened up the situation. The three thousand soldiers and horses he started with were given to him by Xiao Cheng.

Now, every time Cen Zhong comes to Guizhou Road, he can always see many new changes happening here.

I won't talk about the military affairs.

Cen Zhong felt that there was no comparison with Xiao Cheng in this direction, as they had a family background.

But he also lost to Xiao Cheng in civil affairs, which really made Cen Zhong feel shameless.

Once the land is contracted to each household, the old appearance of Guizhou roads will change.

But when I started promoting it on Guangnan West Road, I encountered obstacles at every turn, and the implementation was extremely unsatisfactory.

The unification of taxes and fees and the increase in commercial taxes made Xiao Cheng's reputation among the people on Guizhou Road soar, and those doing business actually kept silent and paid taxes honestly.

While I was learning to walk on Guangnan West Road in Handan, countless people immediately jumped out and said that I was trying to steal profits from the people and that I was a corrupt official. The key is that in the process, many vicious cases really happened.

It was an extreme incident in which landlords and officials forced small traders and hawkers, resulting in death.

What a pity, the target people for promoting these policies are these small businessmen and hawkers. They are obviously big businessmen, okay?

After a long conversation with Xiao Cheng, Cen Zhong finally understood the key point here.

Policies are good, but what matters more is the people who implement them.

No ruler wants the people under his rule to live in poverty, to have no clothes to cover their bodies, and no food to keep them in their bellies.

Even the guy who has been notorious for eating minced meat for thousands of years may be filled with sympathy and love for the poor people deep in his heart.

Policies are easy to formulate, but the biggest problem is the implementation process.

The biggest difference between the two places is here.

He understood the key, but how to do it, Cen Zhong is still at a loss.

Although he is now a local pacifier, he does not have absolute authority like Xiao Cheng in Guizhou Road, and most of the officials under his rule have been influenced by him or are afraid of his reputation and basically dare not act randomly.

Therefore, during the implementation of the policy, although there are sometimes deviations, it is generally maintained within a tolerable range.

But I can't do that on Guangnan West Road.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Cheng started anew on Guizhou Road and built a new building on top of the ruins.

As for myself, I was just tinkering with the original house. Although I dared to replace some of the pillars that had been hollowed out by termites, the larger number of rafters and purlins remained basically unchanged.

If you move, you will hurt your muscles and bones.

Revolution is not a dinner party!

Cen Zhong still recalled in his mind what Xiao Cheng said to him with a half-smile before leaving.

It's only eight words, but it contains incomparable blood and violence.

After all, Cen Zhong was still a scholar-bureaucrat. After all, he still could not make up his mind like Xiao Cheng and dared to overthrow everything in the past and rebuild.

He dared to overthrow anything that stood in his way.

It's just that he grasped the rhythm of his overturning very well, keeping things completely within a controllable range every time.

Now, this guy is ready to overturn some of the stubborn ailments under his care. Once he cures these stubborn ailments, Guizhou Road will surely reach a new level.

Once a place gets off the right track and forms a good cycle, its development speed will make other places stunned.

At that time, Guangnan West Road will no longer be comparable to Guizhou Road.

Therefore, Cen Zhong set a time point for himself. When Xiao Cheng captured Dali, he established good order in Dali and if he had not sorted out the Guangnan West Road, then he would admit defeat.

From then on, he was willing to live under Xiao Cheng.

I really hope I don’t lose again in this competition.

At least save some face!

Regarding Cen Zhong's little idea, Xiao Cheng smiled and said nothing, but Old Master Cen snorted.

The old master believed that his son had no chance of winning.

The old master is no longer a private school master. After Xiao Cheng's repeated pleas, the old master came out of the mountain at the age of seventy and became the tutor of Guizhou Road, specializing in supervising the academic affairs along the way.

Xiao Cheng tried his best to trick the old master out of the mountain and made him give up drinking under the east fence and leisurely seeing the beautiful days of Nanshan. Naturally, he had no good intentions.

First of all, although this old master has never passed the Jinshi exam in his life, his academic level is top-notch, he is an expert, and he can educate a doer like Cen Zhong. How can he be bad at his own work?

Secondly, the old master has been teaching all his life and has received gifts all over the world, not to mention the nearly twenty Jinshi. It is impossible for Xiao Cheng to deceive these people, but there are many more students of the old master, and none of them have passed the Jinshi examination.

Then you can make up your mind!

Sir, you are here to study all the way, and maybe some former students will come here to find a way out.

Nowadays, on the streets of Guizhou, the only people who are poor are scholars, and even worse are those who have some skills.

Even those guys who are stupid from reading can still be used to enlighten the children on the streets of Guizhou, right?

Moreover, the families of these guys who can afford to study are generally relatively wealthy, or at least a well-off family. Otherwise, they would not be able to afford the more expensive Mr. Cen Zizuo. When these people come, they can also pull the strings in disguise.

Consumption on Guizhou Road!

Of course, the old master is still an enthusiastic person who cares about the world. In the past, he could not pass the imperial examination or become a high official, so his enthusiasm had nowhere to show it. Now that his students have given him such an opportunity, the old master is extremely motivated.

In the past two years, the academic style has flourished on the streets of Guizhou, and schools and private schools can be seen everywhere, and there is always the sound of reading, because this old gentleman spared no effort to promote it.

With a servant, a donkey, and two guards, the old gentleman wandered around Guizhou Road. Everywhere he went, he stretched out his hand to ask for money to build a school, looking for him.

The old master has an aloof status. As soon as he reaches out, whether it is the local government or a wealthy country squire, everyone responds positively, asking for money, giving things, and asking for houses. In a short period of time, he went to school on the road in Guizhou.

There are many museums all over the place, but the key is that it doesn’t cost the government a lot of money.

Regarding Cen Zhong's idea of ​​taking the old master to Guangnan West Road to enjoy his happiness, the old gentleman simply rolled his eyes at him.

Cen Zhong could not give his father the seat at the Guangnan West Road School, so he could only watch his junior brother fool his old man into working happily for him.

Of course, the old master also enjoyed it, and his spirit was much better than before, which made Cen Zhong very happy. This time, he even sent a bed-warming girl to the old master.

This move left Xiao Cheng stunned for a long time. Looking at Old Master Cen's reserved but satisfied look, he immediately understood that he seemed to have made a mistake in this matter.

After all, I am not yet a true scholar-official of this era.

However, Xiao Cheng also thought with malice, looking at how energetic Old Master Cen is now, he might give Cen Zhong a little brother or sister, haha, by then Cen Zhong will have several sons and daughters who are not much younger than him.

, the face looks pretty good.

Eighteen Bride and Eighty-Year-Old Man,

Pale hair and red makeup.

The mandarin ducks spend the night in pairs,

A pear tree is covered with begonias.

Xiao Cheng wrote such a poem to his master as a prank. He originally wanted to make fun of the teacher, but unexpectedly, Master Cen was proud of it and proudly showed off the poem to his relatives, friends and disciples, which also made Xiao Cheng

It's dumbfounding.

There are those who are proud, and there are naturally those who are frustrated.

What is somewhat different from Cen Zhong's loss is that Hu Yi, a third-rank official who came to Guizhou three years ago with full malice, is now completely worn out by life and has lost his temper.

The critical attacks on the dignified third-rank officials from all walks of life on Guizhou Road made Hu Yi live like a zombie.

The transfer of the Yamen to Suiyang was Hu Yi's original strategy that he thought was an excellent location.

Suiyang belongs to Zunyi Prefecture and is connected to Sizhou.

Hu Yi didn't think that Bozhou and Sizhou could go all the way with Xiao Cheng.
