"Haha, Brother Guo, you still don't understand what I mean by the word 'public opinion'!"
Lin Xu smiled softly and said.
Speaking of which, although Guo Nanxing is a good official who works hard and serves the people wholeheartedly, he will not hesitate to risk his life for the sake of the people!
However, he is not a very enlightened official!
This is why he took the exam for so many years, and it was not until he was nearly forty years old that he finally passed the exam. Knowing that he had no hope of becoming a scholar in this life, he entered the official position as a candidate.
But he disdained the sophistication of the world, and did not go to the official department to take care of things like others. As a result, he ended up in Jiangling, a small county that was both poor and bandit-ridden, and took up the post of county magistrate!
Later, because of his political disagreements, he was framed by Xu Nianmin, who was the county magistrate at the time, and his whole family almost died without a burial place!
If he hadn't met Lin Xu by chance, I'm afraid he would never be able to get ahead in his life!
"Excuse me, sir, what do you mean by public opinion?"
Guo Nanxing asked if he didn't understand.
"As long as we find a way to let everyone know that in order to force the people to sell their fields at low prices, Jiangsu officials deliberately did not transfer food to provide relief to the victims, causing public resentment, then someone will spread this matter to the ears of the emperor! And the emperor
We will never allow this kind of public opinion to ferment unchecked. At that time, these officials in Jiangsu Province must adjust food supplies and provide disaster relief to eliminate the impact!"
Lin Xu said in a deep voice.
"Well...that's the truth!"
Guo Nanxing thought for a while and then realized what Lin Xu meant!
Immediately, he asked: "But what should we do to ferment public opinion about this matter to the point where the emperor can know about it?"
"We don't have this ability, but there is a group of people who do!"
"who?"
"Qinglin Academy, disciple of Xinxue!"
"Men from the Heart School..."
Guo Nanxing pondered again for a moment and said: "Last time, the government wanted to forcibly destroy the seedlings, but it was the Xinxue disciples of Qinglin Academy and the common people who blocked it, so the government's plan to forcefully destroy the seedlings failed! This time, I heard that
, in order to raise food, they are also running around shouting! Let them create public opinion, they will definitely agree, but in doing so, they will also face great risks! Those people are desperate, but they can do anything.
Come out!"
Lin Xu sighed: "Brother Guo is right. Creating public opinion about this matter is equivalent to draining the firepower. Those people will definitely counterattack crazily! However, what those Xinxue disciples are doing now has seriously angered those in power.
We are just guiding them in the direction!"
"In the final analysis, we are doing this to save the victims of Jiangsu!"
"As for danger, they face danger, and we also face danger, but this path is our own choice!"
"If something really happens to someone, it can be regarded as asking for mercy and getting mercy!"
Guo Nanxing nodded and said: "What you said is absolutely true! In this case, there is nothing more to say. Let's take action as soon as possible! The first step, what should we do?"
"Go to Ruhai Academy and find Mr. Huang Shi!"
Lin Xu said in a deep voice: "However, Brother Guo doesn't need to go, I can just go find Mr. Huang Shi myself!"
Guo Nanxing naturally understood what Lin Xu meant: "This is a huge responsibility, how can you shoulder it alone? I'll go with you!"
"Brother Guo, please listen to me! Now, Jiangling's disaster relief mainly depends on the two of us, so the two of us must act separately! If something happens to one of us, the other one can continue to take charge of the disaster relief! In addition, we
As long as Brother Guo needs the food in the village, he can send someone to get it! However, it must have an official document from the county government! This is not because I want to leave evidence of borrowing food, but in this extraordinary period, food is really in short supply.
It’s so precious, we must be on guard against someone taking advantage of the loopholes and claiming the food!”
Lin Xu said frankly.
"I understand what Mr. Gentleman said from the bottom of his heart!" This chapter has been completed!
