The official of the governor's yamen happened to be someone Chen Mu was familiar with, and he came out not to convey the news to Chen Mu that the governor let him in, but to let him leave and leave the city.

Not far out of the city, there was an official of the governor's yamen who waited outside the city for a long time, took him around half of the outer city, opened the city gate that had been curfew, and entered the city through the side gate of the governor's yamen.

"The old man didn't want you to enter the yamen, if you don't come, you can do anything in Xiangshan. But you come, the things in Xiangshan will not be easy to do in the future, you know? ”

Thinking out of thin air, it is not people's intelligence but imagination that is tested, but if there is a hint and then guess, it is intelligence that is tested.

Governor Zhang Han's attitude was neither cold nor enthusiastic, and he asked people to prepare some meals, and did not ask about what happened in Xiangshan, but seemed to be chatting.

Chen Mu wanted to report the goods intercepted by Xiangshan, but he didn't know where to start.

"The old man has done imperial history, and he has also been a person on the road of words, knowing public opinion, and also knowing that public opinion is true or false. Truth and falsehood are sometimes very important, and there is nothing that is not slandered if you are a serious director. ”

Zhang Han is very old, and he speaks slowly and logically, just like when Chen Mu first saw him in this yamen, he looks a little weak.

"But sometimes it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, being an official, what you do is not right or wrong, no one in the world is right, someone thinks you are right, someone must think you are wrong. If everybody thinks you're doing something wrong, even if it's a good thing, it's a bad thing. ”

Zhang Han is not Wu Guifang's unsmiling boss, he loves to laugh very much, but he laughs deliberately not sincerely. This is about the old problem of his words, even if he is really laughing, it makes people think that he has the following.

Chen Mu nodded, he could understand this, Mao Xuan said in the analysis of each class in the first volume, we must distinguish who is our friend and who is our enemy, but where it is big from policies to small countermeasures, most of the classes that think good can benefit from it, and most of the classes that feel bad have vested interests that are damaged from it.

Those people may not all be bad people, but their choices have sided with them.

"The lowly knows that if you want to deter and subdue Fanyi, one is to cut off food, and the other is to prevent the smuggling of grain and grass to starve its stomach, and to prohibit the smuggling of gunpowder to make its soldiers weak." Chen Mu himself didn't know whether he was using the right words in this sentence, anyway, as long as the governor could understand it, he arched his hand and said: "Those who are locked up, let them go back from their humble duties, and don't let the governor be embarrassed, but the grain still has to be deducted and the nitrate still has to be checked." ”

"You're right, you don't have to be busy showing loyalty." Zhang Han didn't laugh this time, on the contrary, he was very serious, and said: "The old man used to serve in the military department and supervised the affairs of Cao Yun, and he had a little experience. But when it comes to governance, it is not as good as Governor Xiong, let alone leading troops, fighting a war and deterring, the old man can't help, and he won't block you subordinates. ”

"People, you can't put it."

Zhang Han raised his hand and made a fuss, but the old Long Zhong had the momentum of not being angry and arrogant, which was extremely rare in a scholar.

Most of the words and deeds of the Ming Dynasty were not good people, and most of them were party fights, referring to who fought whom.

But there are so many officials in the world, and those who can stand out must be ruthless people with courage, ruthless to others, and even more afraid of death.

"If you don't let the old man go, you can push it, if you let the old man go, no one can push it, you won't be able to do anything in Xiangshan, and then you will really not be able to protect you." If you come today, the old man won't care about Xiangshan's affairs, and if you don't come today, the old man won't care about Xiangshan's affairs, but you have to be quick and can't tell the truth. ”

Down-to-earth facts?

Fanyi deceived women, and the thieves who should be beaten were beaten, so as to garrison Haojingao, what kind of truth can this be?

"The goods of the card payment merchant will be delivered to the Guangzhou government; The house in Yuegang City, sell it and don't keep it; The general flag without meritorious service was removed without permission, and he asked the water diverter to block the excerpt of the sea off the Haojing, and did not mention the name of Chen Chaojue; Let Wang Rulong stay in the house by himself, good to you and good to him. ”

The Governor knows everything.

Chen Mu even felt that Zhang Han knew himself better than himself, and how much goods he paid, Zhang Han knew that it was normal; Ask Chen Luan's subordinate sailors to move the general to prevent the tiger from jumping over the door, and Zhang Han knows that it is normal; went to visit Wang Rulong, and Zhang Han knew that it was normal.

He appointed Li Dan as the general flag, Zhang Han knows this kind of thing?

He bought some farmhouses in his hometown of Yuegang, Zhang Han can also know about this kind of thing?

"There is nothing difficult in the world, and the human heart is not strong. Cutting off people's money is like killing your parents, if you stand in the way of others, how can there be fewer people staring at you? Zhang Han looked at Chen Mu and smiled, shaking his head slightly, Xiangshan Qianhu looked like a boy in the eyes of him, an old oilman who had walked on the road for so many years.

But the boy can satisfy him, if it is a thoughtful subordinate, he will not have the intention of treating him personally.

Being stupid as a subordinate is not afraid, stupid and stupid and clever, is the most unhappy.

The only thing Zhang Han doesn't like about Chen Mu is that he is alone.

I don't know how to ask for instructions, and I don't know how to go through the procedure.

This is more important than anything else.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still young, Xiangshan would probably change to a thousand households.

"What you do in Xiangshan, the old man knows a little, the flag army is trained, you let it go, you need the state government to pay for it, you just speak."

Since Zhang Han had already asked him to hand it over to the state capital, Chen Mu had no other way but to give it up: "The guard is short of gunpowder, please also ask the governor to allocate some nitrate, and then ask the governor to agree, although there are warships in Xiangshan, there is no harbor, it is difficult to repair, and it is even more difficult to deter Fanyi." ”

Chen Mu now understands why there were so many generals in ancient times who did things to raise their own respect, even if they really wanted to do things, without enemies, it would be meaningless for the imperial court to build up troops.

Fanyi in Haojing Ao has set a good target.

"I want to build a water village in Xiangshan to repair the warship in the future."

Zhang Han thought this should be taken for granted, and waved his hand: "It should be so, you go back and do it, but the state capital does not have any wood, you have a surplus army, and it is not good to send out conscription, the old man will transfer a few carpenters and shipwrights for you, and the rest will depend on yourself." ”

Chen Mu was overjoyed and hugged his fists in response.

"When the old man was appointed as the imperial historian, the governor of Dutai was Mr. Junchuan, and when he took office, he went to see him, and he didn't say a big reason, just talked about an incident he encountered."

Mr. Junchuan is Wang Tingxiang, an official to the Nanjing Military Department, the Imperial History of the Zuodu of the Imperial Palace, and a person from the Jiajing period.

Said that one day he took a sedan chair into the city in the rain, the sedan chair man wearing new shoes, from the ash factory to Chang'an Street, the sedan chair man chose the place, is worried that the new shoes are dirty. After entering the city, the mud gradually increased, and the sedan chair driver accidentally stepped into the muddy water and soiled one of his shoes. In order not to let the other shoe also get dirty, the sedan chair driver still chose the place, and later accidentally stained the shoe again, so he 'never went back'. ”

The same is true of the way of dwelling. If you stumble, you will be doomed! ”

Zhang Han showed a nostalgic look, and sighed after a while: "Mr. Xian has passed away for more than 20 years, but the old man will not dare to forget this sentence for the rest of his life. ”
