Feeling that he could follow Zhao Jin's words, Fukang was very satisfied.
Zhao Jin turned to look at him. Fukang felt that he had talked too much and made Zhao Jin unhappy, so he immediately knelt on the ground to apologize.
"Please excuse me from His Highness the Crown Prince. I have spoken too much today, but I have no intention of guessing His Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts."
Zhao Jin smiled slightly, "Fukang, I don't blame you, I just feel that I have wronged you for so many years."
Fukang understood, of course he knew what he was going to say.
"This slave's life was saved by His Highness the Crown Prince. From now on, life and death will depend on His Highness the Crown Prince's words. What I do now is just to repay the kindness I had in the past. When one day His Highness the Crown Prince proclaims himself emperor, this servant will
Just resign and return home."
Zhao Jin nodded.
There was never a day when Fukang didn't stay by his side.
He knows himself better than his parents, wife and children, so he will naturally not betray him now, but if something unexpected happens, no one can tell.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, the best place for him to go is to retire and return to his hometown.
After Zhao Zhongru returned to his home, the prefecture and county magistrates followed him closely.
"Wei Chen is afraid that the unruly people outside will hurt the prince, so why don't the prince take a few more people with him when he goes out in the future."
His eyes moved rapidly, as if he wanted to guess Zhao Zhongru.
As expected, Zhao Zhongru smiled coldly at him.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Who are those people following me today?"
The governor of the prefecture and county pretended to be stupid here, "Why don't you know who the prince is talking about?"
Zhao Zhongru didn't bother to talk to him anymore. I just wanted to know where I went, so I just told him.
"I went to the school today to check it out. Almost all the children there have a place to study. You have done a good job here. Only when children start attending school from an early age can we select the number one scholar for the country."
The prefecture and county magistrate was very suspicious after hearing this, whether he was praising himself or deliberately hiding something.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. These are what a lower official should do. Confucius once said that whether a country is strong or not depends on its young adults, so Wei Chen attaches great importance to the school. However, Wei Chen is originally a low-key person, and sometimes he is
It’s so heartless.”
Naturally, he knew what happened in the school during the day.
Zhao Zhongru followed what he said, "There is no such thing anywhere. How can the son of a squire come out to bully other people's children at will? All people in the world are the descendants of the court. You should be in harmony. And you, as a state
County officials should take care of all these little things, so that the people will trust you."
The prefecture and county magistrate thought it was very abnormal to see him like this. If things were as usual, he would definitely scold himself severely.
But now, why is he starting to speak for himself?
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I don't ask God and the common people to know what I did. I just hope that the Emperor can see it and take more care of the people of Lingnan."
His sincere words are not unreasonable. After all, no matter how wealthy the land of Lingnan is, it is just a border town.
Even if the country has some good things, it will not think of them.
The people here rely on farming crops to make a living. Although they live a happy life, they also lack a lot of fun...
Zhao Zhongru nodded and agreed to him.
"Don't worry. I came to Lingnan to check it out during this period. It is indeed incomparable with the capital city. I will speak well of you in front of the emperor."
After hearing these words, the prefectural and county magistrates excitedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Highness. You are thinking of us all the time. I will swear allegiance to His Highness to the death."
What he said sounded really nice, but the things he did were really disgusting.
Until now, Zhao Zhongru has not been able to expose his crime.
, so I had to comfort him with words first.
If you keep praising him, he will definitely become suspicious.
Zhao Zhongru added, "Although you have done well in other places, you really disappoint me when it comes to floods. There will be a flood here every three to five years. You should be the most experienced person."
, and to let the people live in the heat of water for such a long time, as a parent and official, this is not the way to go."
The governor of the prefecture and county knelt on the ground again, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I will teach you an economic lesson in the future and live up to my son's mission."
The prefectural and county magistrates were coaxed around by him and finally left happily.
Zhao Zhongru let out a long breath. It turned out that this woman was not good at doing delicate work.
In the feudal kingdom, I just had to be patient, but now I don't have to be patient anymore, but I still have to put on a show.
He now has a deep understanding of how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks, so he respects him even more.
As soon as the prefectural and county governor leaves the house, his subordinates tell him the good news.
"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. If you are assigned to the capital, you must think of me."
The prefecture and county magistrate scolded him and said, "You are here talking nonsense and making irresponsible remarks. Do you know where this place is and who are the people inside?"
The subordinates firmly grasped his psychology and were not afraid of his complaints.
"Sir, don't lie to me. Once the prince returns to the capital, he will say a few nice words for you in front of the emperor. These few words are not enough to transfer you to the capital. From now on, my lord,
He is a fifth-grade official."
The prefecture and county magistrate sat on his chair and quietly thought about what happened after he came to Beijing.
I heard that Shangjing is the most prosperous place in the capital, with buildings and roofs everywhere, and people can sing and dance every night.
When the time comes, the court will grant you a big house, and you will also have the official uniform of the court, and you will marry a few beautiful concubines. In the court, you must clearly discern the facts and know which gang is the most powerful.
Join it.
If this is the case, I don't need to make any great achievements today, and I can still be considered as a proud ancestor.
"It's true that a random official in the capital can achieve such a great achievement. Once the dam was built, within three to five years, the Lingnan region was no longer afraid of floods, and farmers no longer had to carry water for irrigation.
Now, we can directly dig the machine into the ditch to have a source of irrigation, which is really wonderful.
His subordinates beat his legs and said, "How can that be his achievement? If you hadn't made the Lingnan area here so rich and beautiful, no matter how well he dug the dam, it would be of no use. The people would already be hungry."
