After Yu Hai left, Qi Yu quickly sent someone to summon Tan Junyan, who was in charge of a large amount of wealth.
If you want to use big money, you have to go to him.
Who calls someone a bank president?
However, something was a bit unlucky today. President Tan happened to be out on business and said he would not be back until noon.
All right!
Qi Yu looked at the sun that was approaching noon, and then stepped into the van home with regret.
I didn’t eat breakfast today. If I don’t take care of lunch and lunch, my stomach and intestines will really not be able to hold on.
People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry.
Must eat!
However, before leaving, he specifically told his government officials that if Tan Junyan returns, he will immediately invite him to his home.
Don't delay.
On the way home, he unintentionally felt sad and lamented the country's unfortunate fate.
Only now did he truly understand Fan Wenzheng's famous saying: If you live high in a temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away in the rivers and lakes, you worry about your king.
Only by worrying about the worries of the world first can you experience the joy of the world later.
In times of crisis like this, I must step forward without hesitation and save all people from the fire and water.
If you can't even show the most basic compassion for heaven and earth, what qualifications do you have to sit in the position of a feudal official?
In a nutshell, this is a huge act of kindness, and anyone with a sense of justice should do it.
After hearing the above explanation, Liu Quan still disagreed and complained.
However, her disapproval comes from another angle of analysis.
Although she didn't know much about the specific system in the officialdom, she also understood the basic principle of non-participation between different places.
So she shook her head and objected directly: "My husband, I think this is very inappropriate."
"What's wrong?"
"Just imagine, if you participate in this disaster relief, what will the governors of other provinces think? Should they follow your lead and provide money and food? If they do, it will be equivalent to worsening their own finances, but if they don't, it will appear
I don’t understand the general situation. Neither of the two is in their personal interests. It can be foreseen that your move will definitely offend all the officials in the frontier and end up with a thankless end.
.”
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Once there is a benchmark to refer to, how do you let the reluctant officials deal with it?
The statement of blaming others is not an exaggeration.
After hearing this, Qi Yu sighed slightly and said: "When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. If everyone cares about personal gains and losses, how can we talk about disaster relief and peace of mind?"
Seeing that his wife was still shaking her head, he changed his explanation and said: "This move can be regarded as a way to build up some good virtues for our old Qi family. As the saying goes, a house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy; there is always no harm in doing more good deeds.
of."
When Liu Quan heard this, he sighed quietly and said: "It's true to do good deeds, but don't suffer consequences after doing good deeds. That would be disrespectful to others."
Qi Yu first smiled and said: "Even if I blame others, I will admit it!" After a pause, he said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, Madam, when I was still studying hard in Hanchuang, I had made a deep thought in my heart about life.
Great aspiration: If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world! Now, I have entered the imperial examination and become an official, and I am very successful. How can I forget my original intention? If I can't save all the people from the fire and water, I will feel guilty!"
Hearing these words, Liu Quan suddenly felt shocked.
She suddenly had a feeling that her husband at this time was extremely majestic, just like the gods and Buddhas who rescued the suffering, and his every move made people sincerely admire him.
Although he is a scholar who cannot lift his shoulders or lift his hands, he dares to use his weak backbone to shoulder half of the country in times of crisis!
Faintly, she seemed to have touched the true meaning of the word "pillar of the country".
Qi Yu saw her dazed there and looking at him with admiration. He suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Madam, don't you think you have become more handsome because of your husband?"
Oops, the good and solemn atmosphere was ruined by his sudden teasing words.
Liu Quan rolled his eyes at him, ignored him, and stopped worrying about disaster relief.
Worried that her husband would be hungry, she hurriedly put the prepared meals on the table.
The lunch was very rich, including fish, meat, and vegetables.
In addition, there is also a tonic soup that can only be understood but cannot be described!
Seeing this soup, Qi Yu couldn't help but think of his beloved concubine Yin Tao.
Is it okay for her to stay in the capital? Did the funeral go smoothly? Did her son Qi Xiao make her angry?
This series of thoughts was like the Yellow River bursting its banks, filling his heart instantly.
As Qi Yu's first wife, Liu Quan naturally had a tacit understanding that ordinary people could not match. She guessed what her husband was thinking with just a brief guess.
Just as I was about to say a few words of comfort, I suddenly saw a government official coming to report that Mr. Wenzhu had unexpectedly arrived.
What?
Sir, are you here?
So what are you waiting for, come and greet us!
Qi Yu almost fell on his heels and ran out of the door at a trot.
After the ceremony, he immediately invited Meng Lanshan to the main hall for tea.
Tea is still the best tea in the house, but the old man has no intention of tasting it.
He pushed the tea cup aside as if he was ignoring it, and immediately said straight to the point: "I heard from Mr. Yu that you are interested in helping the Huguang Provincial Government to provide disaster relief and comfort the people?"
Eh~~
Unexpectedly, this news spread so quickly!
Qi Yu smiled bitterly, and then said seriously: "To be honest, sir, this disciple does have this intention."
Meng Lanshan did not answer after hearing this. He just frowned slightly and stroked his beard, showing a thoughtful expression.
Seeing this, Qi Yu took the initiative and asked: "Sir, do you support this move? Or do you oppose it?"
"I object!"
"Ah...this..."
Meng Lanshan sighed softly and said: "Actually, not only am I opposed, Master Yu also doesn't agree with it. He considered that I am your teacher, so he entrusted me to give you a few words of advice."
That’s right!
Hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but frown.
It’s really strange, why do everyone around me hold opposing opinions?
He had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to his wife. The key point was that he also reiterated his career values.
It remains the same as before, never changed, that is, people-oriented!
Qi Yu originally thought that his mentor would change his mind after hearing his good intentions, but unexpectedly, he still firmly opposed it.
Why?
Meng Lanshan sighed with sadness and said eloquently: "How could I not know what you said? You are doing your best to promote justice for the people. There is nothing wrong with this and there is no doubt about it."
However, as soon as his words changed, he added: "But, have you ever thought that if you really participate in this disaster relief, the emperor will be more wary of you."
Huh?
Why is it that after all this pulling and pulling, it gets dragged onto His Majesty again?
