Chapter 528: The Return of Dong Zhiyuan's Humanity
Li Guolou did not march to Jinjibao with the army, but temporarily stayed in Dongzhi County to build new Dongzhi County walls, government offices, temples, forts, and post houses.
Wei Hanyu, a fellow villager of Li Guolou, stayed in Dongzhi County and temporarily acted as county magistrate. More than 3,000 injured Qing army veterans and civilians were allowed to stay in Dongzhi County to settle down and repair roads.
Li Guolou invested 10,000 taels of silver to establish Qingxing Academy in Dongzhi County, creating a place for Dong Zhiyuan's scholars to study and become officials, and creating conditions for the development of local culture.
Li Guolou asked more than 10,000 Dong Fuxiang refugees who had recently arrived in Dong Zhiyuan to use work as relief. They dug a ditch dam in the Nanxiao River ditch on the west side of Dong Zhiyuan and created an artificial lake.
Wei Hanyu temporarily acts as the seventh-rank magistrate of Dongzhi County. Zuo Zongtang will not refute Li Guolou's reputation. Soon the court will officially appoint him as the county magistrate of Dongzhi County. He has a seventh-rank black gauze hat. It is like a crow transforming
Phoenix, but there is no oil or water here, it is just a hard job.[
Wei Hanyu refused to waste seven years in a place where nothing matters, so after some bargaining with Li Guolou, he agreed to stay in Dongzhi County for five years.
Li Guolou put his arms around Wei Hanyu's shoulders in comfort, pointed at the men digging the soil everywhere, and deceived him: "Brother Wei, this is a treasure land. You only have to work hard for two years. From now on, the waves will shine and the fish will fly."
, a new landscape of ducks playing on blue waves,
It is pleasing to the eye. Fishing in the shade, walking through the forest, the fruity aroma is refreshing, refreshing and refreshing. You and the two young ladies are boating on the lake, you are the Supreme Emperor here, and the people of Dong Zhiyuan will praise your achievements...
·”
Wei Hanyu broke free from Li Guolou's arm and angrily said: "Nonsense! Where did I get the two little ladies? They were bought maids. I am now a seventh-grade official. How can I not respect myself and marry a lady from a famous family?"
Entering the court. Unlike you, I have a good uncle, two good teachers, and three good backers."
Li Guolou waved his hand and gave Wei Hanyu a slap in the face, curled his lips and said: "Forget it, your backstage is me. If I fall, you will no longer want to be an official. Are you talented? You still want to marry a lady.
There are a lot of ready-made widows. Find a big widow who knows how to do business. Learn from me and buy up the family property first. There is no need to take bribes. Just put your name on it. Within two or three years, you will naturally be able to make a living.
gold."
"Really?" Wei Hanyu twirled a wisp of beard on his chin, thinking about whether Li Guolou's words were credible.
"Why are you lying to me? Brother Wei, being an official or businessman is the right way. You are the magistrate of Dongzhi County, and you are a local emperor who keeps his word. You lost money in the first two years and saw no return on your investment, but you made a lot of money in the next three years. You
If you don’t understand the way of being an official, you only want to be filial to your subordinates. In fact, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Take the resources in your hands and learn to be an official and businessman. From now on, you will become a wealthy family of Dong Zhiyuan."
"Master Li, how many widows do you think I should marry who are good at doing business?" Wei Hanyu humbly asked for advice, and once he got to the end, his mind began to brighten. Li Guolou was right, what he said was what he had done, he should build a family first, and then
Dong Zhiyuan created a territory that belonged to him.
"Hey, it depends on the person. Brother Wei, can you compare with me? Just marry a capable widow. The yellow-faced woman from my hometown was sent to Dongzhi County for me. She is not allowed to learn from Chen Shimei. I have to support my wife for the rest of my life.
Improve the relationship between the legal wife and the common wife, and don't rush to straighten the two little maids." Li Guolou, based on his experience, saw through Wei Hanyu's sinister intentions in recruiting the two little maids.
Thirty-five-year-old Wei Hanyu chuckled evilly, nodded and said, "Yes! Mr. Li, I will study and go home right now, and ask my wife to come to Dongzhi County. Only then can the family be reunited and prosper."
"Well, when you become an official, you will know how big the gap is between landlords and officials. Make the money you deserve and don't reach out to fish it over the line. I will leave in two days. My biggest request to you is not to be a corrupt official, Zuo Zong
Tang is ruthless and ruthless. If you want to get into trouble here, don't look for ways to get in my way. You know how ruthless I am." Li Guolou narrowed his eyes slightly, dropped the ruthless words, and put a tight spell on Wei Hanyu.
"I know, are you bothered? What did I embezzle for? My wife's salary? That's not to kill tens of thousands of robbers. The land was given to me by Deputy Marshal Xu, and I feel guilty about taking it. The house
It's a government office, and I don't need to pay for it. I didn't marry a girl, the maids are just for housework." Wei Hanyu is a serious man, like a gentleman, and has never done anything untoward.
"Okay, stop talking. Am I such an easy person to fool? How about I ask the two maids what housework you do at night? I will know the truth immediately." Li Guolou shook his head in disbelief.
When I was young, my subordinates made some windfall money. Men become bad when they have money. This is an eternal truth.
"Ah! Mr. Li, we are bored to death. I will treat you to some greasy noodles for lunch." Wei Hanyu put his arms around Li Guolou's shoulders and stopped arguing about his innocence. The pure will be pure and the turbid will be turbid. He is
Juren who is familiar with the books of sages.
"If you don't eat it, it's disgusting! You'd better make me a bowl of wheat flour and egg soup." Li Guolou paced, smacked his mouth a few times, and walked toward a temporary tent. Dong Zhiyuan was waiting for nothing.
Yes, there is a bowl of hot noodle soup at noon, and adding an egg is a high-end treat.
Dong Zhiyuan is close to Guanzhong and was also under the jurisdiction of the ancient Zhou and Qin Dynasties. The people of the original state were fond of pasta, and noodles-related food almost dominated two meals a day. Here, Li Guolou followed the local customs and ate pasta every day. Several high-ranking officials were worried about this.
They were like civilian husbands, sitting on wooden posts, holding copper vats and eating noodles.
Dong Zhiyuan's favorite shouting sentences are still operas in Qin opera. Newcomers are surprised and confused by this scene, mistakenly thinking that this is not Dong Zhiyuan, but the vast land of Qinchuan north of the Qinling Mountains, the geographical dividing line between north and south of China.
Li Guolou was eating noodles in the tent, listening to the villagers roaring the Qin Opera Bangzi with great enthusiasm.
"If you perform the postures well, you will be able to perform them on the stage one after another.
The stories of the previous dynasty echoed with roars, Zuogong willow was planted by us.[
Shout Qin Opera! Shout Qin Opera!
Roaring aloud is unjust and heart-breaking!
Shout boldly and shock the hall!
Shout Qin Opera! Shout Qin Opera!
The roars fly with love and hate, and the days are filled with Qin opera.
From the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Zilong Temple was built by us.
Both joy and sorrow are generous and forthright, and the good and the bad appear together in Dong Zhiyuan.
Shout Qin Opera! Shout Qin Opera!
Each scene denounces the evil and evil in the world, and every turn praises the loyalty and goodness of the world.
Shout Qin Opera! Shout Qin Opera!
Roaring out the boldness of the Northwest people and shouting out the good times of Dong Zhiyuan."
Li Guolou sat in a tent eating wheat flour and egg soup, listening to the roars of the people outside, and felt very comfortable. In the hearts of the people in Dong Zhiyuan, Li Guolou was a positive image, and was ranked alongside Zuo Zongtang. Everything he did,
Get Dong Zhi
Praise from the original people. It's a pity that people have to be separated. He is leaving. As long as Dong Zhiyuan does not fight, he will never come to eat noodles again in this life. The loess high slopes are boring to death. In his memory, Dong Zhiyuan only has loess and sand.
"Old Wei, you changed the text of this play, right?" Before the weather was hot, Fan Dahui had already shaken his fan. On the fan was an inscription by Li Guolou, which read "honor or disgrace is not surprising", and on the other side was a chant painted by the painter Cao Keliao.
Meitu.
"Master Fan, do you want me to write about this kind of thing? Do I have so much free time? This is the roar from the bottom of the heart of the people who are amusing themselves in labor." Wei Hanyu followed suit and took out a book from his official sleeve.
Holding a fan, the elegant demeanor of a civil servant can be seen in the room where he talks and laughs freely.
"Old Wei, do a good job in Dong Zhiyuan. Don't give me any false pretenses. When I leave, don't let the people burn incense and kneel to see me off. If you have any difficulty, please contact Wei Guangtao. Anyway, your surname is Wei. We were the same family five hundred years ago. You can accept him as your adoptive father."
.Building a good relationship with your superiors, crying is the most useful. When you go to the government office to ask for orders for the people,
The people of Dong Zhiyuan cry more often, so that others will not dare to take off your hat. Never use money to bribe officials, be more elegant or practical, and don't give people any excuses." The person who was leaving was also kind in his words.
Li Guolou told Wei Hanyu the secret of becoming an official with all his heart.
"Oh! I know that Wei Guangtao is an upright official and never accepts bribes." Wei Hanyu replied with certainty.
"You damn honest official. No matter how honest a high-ranking official is, he still wishes birthdays to the two Queen Mothers every year. How can I get birthday gifts if I don't have money? You really have been ruined by the saint's books. If I hadn't wanted to remind you, I would have said
Do you have to be so direct? Elegance is antiques, calligraphy and painting, but actually it is ginseng and bird's nest. How else should I teach you? You must learn to share the worries of your superiors!" Li Guolou gasped heavily, which was out of anger.
Wei Hanyu stood up, bowed to the end, and said with a bright smile: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your advice. I will take it from you. I will definitely learn to protect myself in my official career and will not embarrass Mr. Li."
Li Guolou said scornfully: "Old Wei, please remember that you must not reuse those disabled old soldiers. These people are more stubborn than Huizi. In their eyes, they only have old officers, who are very capable of forming cliques."
. If you form a group with such people, your position will be empty. It is better to be a capitulationist. The capitulationist has the filth in life.
Don't dare to cross the border, scare them, and obey the orders immediately. The Han people control more than 60% of the territory, and the remaining areas are distributed to the Hui people. Don't give benefits to the refugees just because they give you gifts. They will give them to you today.
I will give you gifts and I will stab you tomorrow. Be more ruthless towards these new comers.
Be a cruel official first, and then relax a little bit, so that the people will say good about you, otherwise you will be kicked out by Dong Zhiyuan's people. As for the disaster relief funds from the court, there is not much money in the hands of individuals, so don't give it to the people
Yes, directly put it into the project funds and let the people go to work. The refugees who don’t want to work,
Drive them all away. If you dare to act recklessly, you will be killed by me. Well, if the imperial court is exempted from taxes for three years, you must also ask the people to pay grain and taxes, and collect a few less achievements. This way, there will be a surplus in the official warehouse, and it will be used in the future.
You already have flexible money. If there is a big disaster, you can start to overcome it. Do you want to write it down?"
"Yes, I have written them all down. But Mr. Li, will the higher-ups cause trouble for me?" Wei Hanyu wrote down Li Guolou's words and was a little scared. He actually asked him to withhold the court's disaster relief funds and violate the country's tax exemption policy.
, Dong Zhiyuan established a new policy on his own.
Li Guolou sighed: "Old Wei! If you don't do what I say, you will accomplish nothing in five years and have no money to start work. No one will listen to your empty words. You will divide all the benefits. You
What difference does it make if Dong Zhiyuan has you or not? Policies are dead, people are alive. If you exploit loopholes in policies and revitalize the local economy, Dong Zhiyuan will become a paradise on earth in five years. Dong Zhiyuan will be tax-free for three years.
, the big living people sleep on the kang every day, not even willing to move their buttocks. People will become addicted to food relief and refuse to do hard work. This place has become a paradise for lazy people. Those who have nothing to do can only crack a whip.
Herd sheep, sing Xintianyou, and live happily year after year. You should be more ruthless, use more varied methods, and raise a gang of thugs to make the people afraid. This will actually save the lost sheep."
"Amen!" Fan Dahui immediately agreed, nodding and praising Li Guolou for getting to the point. Wei Hanyu scratched his head desperately and said thoughtfully: "Master Li, it seems that what you said makes sense. It turns out that this is how local officials govern.
."[
"Yes! People are most energetic when they are seven-tenths full. After eating and drinking enough, they will think wildly and give birth to a lot of rabbits, which will destroy the family's wealth and eventually become poor. The common people are like lambs. In addition to feeding them, they also have to give birth to rabbits.
To scare them with a whip, you are a shepherd. Learn how to use the whip in your hand.
No one will listen to you just by shouting." Li Guolou is cruel enough and told the truth. Everyone is lazy. If the people of Dong Zhiyuan were to be exempted from paying food for three years, it would be a big deal. People in the whole place would be happy.
He became a lazy man. After three years, he tried to win people's hearts, but the land would not produce a good harvest, and the crops were still full of weeds.
"Oh! I understand. Let people work harder first, build local facilities, and then have a family, and then distribute the benefits to the people. It means that it must be bitter first and then sweet. It must be hard work at the beginning to fully mobilize people's enthusiasm.
"Wei Hanyu is good at summarizing and turning Li Guolou's vicious thoughts into noble sentiments in one sentence.
"Well! Children can be taught. I believe you are a flexible person, so I give you a few words. You have to learn to get out of the rules. Some things cannot be explained clearly and deeply understand the spirit. This is actually the same as fighting.
Principle. If you herd sheep in a simple way, you can see the temperament of the people in a place. There are so many whip-wielding people.
Only lazy people will become robbers who collect grain. Now that Zuo Zongtang is reforming, you can take this opportunity to improve the human nature of Dong Zhiyuan people and let the fine tradition of hard work and bravery return to this high loess slope." Li
Guo Lou taught earnestly and put a heavy burden on Wei Hanyu's shoulders. Only the return of humanity can make this land rejuvenated.
Wei Yuhan has become more mature. He originally admired Li Guolou's achievements, but now he admires Li Guolou's straightforwardness even more. He has lived in vain for thirty-five years. Only when he entered the official career did he realize the darkness and cruelty of society, and saw the military's
He knows the inside story and knows how to be an official. If he doesn't know how to be an official, he is a fool. Wei Yuhan has made up his mind to be a stern and secretive seventh-grade official.
