The old man played with the wine bottle in his hand and said to himself: "Yes, when I drank it for the first time, I also had this feeling of déjà vu, as if my little friend is the person I have been looking for!"
"I'm stupid. I don't know what you are talking about, old man. I have important matters to attend to. Since I've drank this wine, I'll say goodbye!"
Zhu Hansan's heart trembled when he heard this. He didn't want to have anything to do with the person in front of him. Zhang Bao and Zhang Ning were enough for him.
"My little friend, since we are destined to get together, why do you have to leave in a hurry? How about calming down and chatting with a bad old man like me?"
Regarding Zhu Han's repeated requests to resign, a trace of displeasure flashed in the old man's eyes, but he still tried to persuade him to stay with a smile on his face.
"It is a blessing for a young man to listen to the teachings of his elders."
As soon as Zhu Hansan stood up, he saw Guan Hai suddenly taking a step and staring at him with a fierce look. In this moment, Zhu Hansan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the hairs all over his body stood up. In desperation, he had to sit down again and smiled bitterly.
road.
"I wonder what you guys think about 'the great road collapses and everything returns to unity'?"
The old man seemed to be drinking tea quietly, but also seemed to be waiting for Zhu Hansan's reply.
The scene was silent for a long time, and then Zhu Hansan sighed and replied: "Everything has spirituality, just like the grain for making wine. In front of the drinkers, it is the material for making wine; in front of the diners, it is the food to satisfy the hunger; in front of the dignitaries, maybe
It’s just lowly and indescribable chaff; in front of the hungry poor people, it may be a life-saving panacea.”
"Everyone has their own opinions, and this world is the same. Its existence is the truth. We are just passers-by in this world. We will not be able to escape from the pile of loess after decades. How much will future generations remember?
?Everyone has different pursuits, different statuses, different abilities, and different ambitions. Just like this glass of wine, in your eyes, it may just be a good wine with a smooth texture and a pure taste, but in my eyes, it
It is a steady stream of wealth. I am a businessman, so when I look at everything, the first thing I think of is its value, and my ideal is also very simple, make money to support my family, and live a safe and happy life."
Zhu Hansan stared blankly at the drink in front of him and replied calmly.
To be honest, he has been in this world for several months. From the initial excitement, he gradually calmed down. In his opinion, every dynasty is the same. They have their own social system and their own rules of survival.
As for seeking political power in his position, he only thinks about how to manage Jingxian County well. As for other high-minded talks and ambitious feelings, if he reaches another level in the future, then he may think about it.
Instead of thinking about those nonsense, it is better to think about how to capture the aquatic product supply chain in Juluze.
"Oh? My little friend's words are quite novel, and I have gained a lot from this!" The old man listened quietly. When Zhu Hansan finished speaking, he had not yet come back to his senses. After a long silence, he said quietly: "Yes,
If this world were peaceful, no one would want to spend their life in peace, but some people have to do some things, and some pains have to be endured alone."
"I wonder if you have ever heard of Taiping Road?"
Seeing Zhu Hansan pretending to be dumbfounded, the old man seemed to want to make friends and asked with a smile.
"I don't know!"
Zhu Hansan is not that stupid. If he says he knows
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yes, wouldn't that mean that you agree with this old man's philosophy?
To be fair, if we look at it from an impartial perspective, there is nothing wrong with the Taiping concept spread by the Taiping Dao. The Yellow Turban Uprising a few years later can also be said to be a just act. However, they failed and can only be defined as chaos, but the result was
It was the local chaebol bosses who had the power to recruit troops on their own, forming an unstoppable force. This coincided with the chaos of the court, political darkness, and the decline of people's livelihood. With the Yellow Turban Uprising in the lead, how could a slightly ambitious capitalist easily remove his military power?
If one or two bold people take the lead, how can others be able to endure it? As long as the war begins and casualties occur, interests will be involved. As long as interests are involved, who can really endure it?
Can you live in it?
"Bold, you don't even know the Tao of Taiping that my family respects as a master?"
Guan Hai was furious when he heard this. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhu Hansan's answer and immediately shouted.
"My lord, if you don't know, you just don't know. Doesn't everyone have to know? Where can this wild man come from and dare to despise the imperial officials like this? Believe it or not, I will capture you now and bring you back to the government for questioning!"
Seeing that Guan Hai was angry and scolded Zhu Hansan, Zhang Liao quickly stepped forward and said sarcastically.
"The imperial magistrate is such a big imperial magistrate. He didn't get it with money. What did he do in the month he was in office? Besides fighting for power and profit with the county captain every day, what else did he do?"
Guan Hai seemed to be very disgusted with the court officials. He couldn't help but get angry when he mentioned this word, and his eyes always looked at Zhu Hansan with a hint of ill-intention.
"Huh! You don't know the situation of my family!"
Zhang Liao retorted with disdain on his face.
"Okay, okay!"
Guan Hai still wanted to speak, but the old man waved his hand towards him and said with a smile: "Is it necessary to distinguish between some trivial matters?"
"Disciples don't dare!"
Guan Hai respected the old man very much and quickly bowed and replied.
"My little friend just said that he called himself a businessman. I don't understand why you have such an idea, little friend? You are obviously the leader of the county, but you say you are a businessman! Isn't there a difference between honor and inferiority here, little friend?
Is it worth mentioning?"
The old man became more and more interested in Zhu Hansan, so he stopped Guan Hai and asked with a smile.
"The old man doesn't know something. I originally didn't intend to become an official, but the situation forced me to become an official because I had no choice but to do so!" Zhu Hansan asked himself that he had not reached that level yet, but others forced him to go up.
"I'm surprised that there are still people who are forced to become officials these days."
Guan Hai's face was full of disdain, he held his hands and looked at Zhu Hansan with disgust. He was obviously very ashamed of Zhu Hansan's behavior of wanting to be a bitch but building a memorial arch.
"My master said he was forced to do so, and he was forced to do so. If you dare to make noise again, believe it or not, I will deal with you!"
Zhang Liao also did his part, rolled up his sleeves and yelled: "Don't think that I am afraid of you because you are strong!"
"alright!"
"Enough!"
"Humph!" "Humph!"
The old man and Zhu Hansan spoke at the same time, which made them shut up. They turned their heads to one side and remained silent.
"My little friend, do you think it's not good to be an official?"
The old man asked thoughtfully.
"It's not bad! You are a corrupt official
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yes, you can line your own pockets, but it will also make the people scold you and make you feel uncomfortable with your conscience. Be an upright official, and you will be comfortable with your sleeves, but what is the purpose? Doing things for the people? There is no one in the office these days, and if you can’t make money,
How to do things? Most of the county’s tax revenue has been taken away by the palace. Even if you really want to do something, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice! In the end, the people will accuse you of being incompetent! Rather than doing this, it’s better not to do it!”
Speaking of the world, Zhu Hansan will inevitably complain a few words, but he is not a blaming person. Now that he is here, he should live according to his own wishes. If a person cannot even satisfy the life he wants, then what is the point of talking about it?
What else? It would be ridiculous to say it! He is such a down-to-earth person.
"Haha, it's interesting, but...little friend, your words are inevitably a bit self-pitying!"
The old man shook his head and laughed, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
"The boy is so talented and has so little knowledge that the old man is laughing at him!"
Zhu Hansan felt happy when he saw this. What he wanted was to make the old man think that he was a talkative person.
"Hmph, you can't imagine my master's ambition! If we follow my master's plan, I believe that within three years, the people of Jingxian County will be several times or even dozens of times better off than they are now.
!”
The old man was ready to shout out, but Zhang Liao was a little unconvinced and continued.
"Wenyuan?"
After Zhu Hansan heard this, he was so angry that he almost screamed. He turned his head and glared at Zhang Liao reproachfully, telling him not to talk nonsense. Zhang Liao immediately understood Zhu Hansan's intention and quickly kept silent. But now
It was already too late, the old man seemed to be more interested in Zhu Hansan.
"Young people are great! You are young and energetic, good, not bad!"
The old man made a pun about Zhang Liao and then looked at Zhu Hansan and asked with a smile: "It seems that I still have some ideas. Why don't you talk to the old man about how we can make the people in a county live a better life in two or three years?"
Good day, people have said this in the past, but they were all arrogant people who did nothing but add to the laughter."
"Since the old gentleman wants to hear it, it doesn't hurt to tell me some plans for the next few years!"
Zhu Hansan saw that the old man was a bit inquisitive, and after sighing in his heart, he said: "Integrity is the basic quality of being an official, and it is not a measure of an official's ability. In my opinion, being honest as an official is the key to every official."
It is a principle that officials should follow. If you think this person is an upright official, then he is really a good official. In my eyes, what is a real good official? Is it true that he can bring benefits to most people?
People who really develop local construction and lead most people to become rich, rather than people who report and clock in from nine to five every day as long as I am not greedy. That kind of official is not so much honest as incorruptible
Stupid, or rather lazy."
"Since we are officials, we must set goals. Let's put aside those high-sounding fantasies for now. First of all, we must know what problems exist in the place where we govern. Only by identifying the problems can we prescribe the right medicine. By comparing the population of the county with the people of other places, we must set goals.
More than a hundred miles of land in Jing County is in the hands of aristocratic wealthy families. If the common people have no land, they can only rent land from big families or directly become tenant farmers. No one can guarantee whether they will make ends meet depending on the weather.
What will happen this year? In a good harvest year, people may have enough to eat, but in a natural disaster year, people will starve to death!"
