Thank you very much for the reward from Drunken Xunfang (100) and Wenwen (100) of "Will of Fire"!

Everyone's faces couldn't help but show embarrassment, and then they heard Luo Xin say again: "Since you are all reluctant to come, but you are here again, this proves that you are all people with no background, that is to say, you are all excluded people, and what I said is not wrong, right?" ”

Everyone's expressions were even more embarrassed, because Luo Xin said that they were scarred, and these people thought that they were talented, and they were definitely talented, but no one appreciated them, or they had no background. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing everyone's expressions, Luo Xin smiled again: "I want to ask a question, when you come to the city, compared with the original grade, please raise your hand." ”

Everyone looked at Luo Xin's young face, trying to see some clues from his face, but they were disappointed, because Luo Xin kept smiling on his face, as if he was chatting with everyone, and they were chatting happily.

"So everyone's grades have been raised?" Luo Xin continued to ask with a smile.

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads together, and Luo Xin smiled again: "Then, the second question that this official wants to ask is, if there is no City Division, then it is still in your original position, with your background, how many years do you think it will take to be able to advance to the current grade?" ”

Everyone looked stunned for a moment, and then they all pondered.

There is no doubt that with their background and relationship, I am afraid that they will be at that level for the rest of their lives, and maybe one day they will be demoted by the superiors, or even dismissed, to make way for people with backgrounds.

And now?

In any case, the grade has been raised by one level, and some people even have more than one grade. Fulfilled the hope that may not be completed in a lifetime, and when I think of this, the depression in my heart seems to be a lot less.

Seeing the change in everyone's faces, Luo Xin said with a faint smile: "The results of the current market division are nothing more than two. One is to get better and better, so that you will continue to improve. One is to get worse and worse, and eventually close down, so that you will become idle officials with no place. In other words, you have half the chance to continue to be promoted, and that opportunity is in your own hands. Because as long as we do a good job and don't close the city, this is the basis for your promotion. ”

"That's right!" Everyone's hearts moved: "We have at least half a chance that the city will not be closed!" Although this half of the chances are fragile...... Those families are powerful......"

"Life is a fight!" Luo Xin said lightly: "In fact, we have been fighting since the time of our county examination, and all the way to the palace examination, we have fought from thousands of candidates. Now that another battle is in front of you, could it be that you have lost the courage to fight? ”

Everyone's expressions were stunned, and Luo Xin's voice continued to sound: "Think about your past, think about your ten years of hardship, and think about the experience you suffered in the past because you have no background. It may be your last chance to fight, and if you lose this opportunity, you may be mediocre for the rest of your life. ”

The hearts of the people passed through the scenes of their exclusion, and a sense of injustice gradually emanated from their hearts.

"What are you waiting for? Join hands with this official to make the city better and better! ”

Everyone's eyes are focused on Luo Xin's body, yes, do they still have a way out now?

No!

Now they have only one way, that is, to do a good job in the city, no matter who dares to destroy the city, it is to destroy their future, like killing their parents and fighting with them. He Nian only felt his blood coming up, and excitedly bowed his hand to Luo Xin and said:

"I want to follow my lordship."

"I want to follow my lord!" Everyone also shouted in unison, at this time, there was no more decadent atmosphere on their bodies, but they were full of fighting spirit.

Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he felt this decadent aura as soon as he entered the city. If you put into work with this kind of emotion, not to mention that the city company is still facing the resistance of the family, even without the resistance of the family, there will be no hope for the city.

But now it is different, and everyone's momentum is completely inspired by Luo Xin. The internal hidden dangers have been completely removed, and all that remains is to face the external difficulties.

"Everyone!" Luo Xin's face was full of smiles: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, our city division must always have a beginning." After the official's consideration, I am ready to set up the wharf in Haining, how about you take a look? Map. ”

Then a scribe came up and laid out the map on the table in the middle, and Luo Xin stood up from his seat, and everyone stood up one after another, and gathered around the map. Luo Xin pointed his finger at Haining on the map and said:

"This is Haining, you have all served in the southeast for a long time, and you should have some understanding of the topography of Haining."

"Hmm!" "Haining City is located in the southern wing of China's Yangtze River Delta, in the north of Zhejiang Province, adjacent to Haiyan County in the east and the Qiantang River in the south. There are two water systems in the territory, the Shangtang River and the canal, and they are not directly on the coast, which is the most suitable place to establish the city and the city division now. ”

Some officials still don't understand why the city division is not established on the coast, but after a little thought, they thought of the Japanese and understood the reason why Luo Xin established the city department here, and they couldn't help nodding in appreciation, Luo Xin is worthy of being a military god and has been thoughtful.

However, there was a trace of worry on He Nian's face, and his expression was hesitant. Luo Xin saw his hesitant look, and said:

"Today, we are here to work together, and everyone can speak freely."

He Nian's look was a certain way: "My lord, my subordinates heard that my lord came to Hangzhou this time to serve as the governor, and his power is limited to the city department, and all other government affairs in Hangzhou are under the management of the prefect?" ”

"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded.

He Nian's face showed a look of disappointment and said, "My lord, in this way, my lord's power will be limited, to be honest...... The adult is the least powerful Tongzhi in the history of Hangzhou. The City Shipping Division is in contact with all aspects, and it is impossible not to involve other yamen, and the power of the adults will be constrained at that time, not to mention opening the sea, even the establishment of the City Shipping Division may be difficult. ”

"How?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

He Nian sighed and said: "For example, we always have to build a wharf in Haining, and we also have to build an office yamen there, all of which require Hangzhou's household houses and workshops. And so on and so forth, we will come across a lot later. We...... They are all a group of officials with no background and are not favored. You don't have to think about it to know the faces of those people when we go to do things. And...... Adults should know that many people don't like adults to come here and establish a city. ”

Luo Xin smiled faintly: "Lord He, you just saw that my power is only limited to the City Division, and my power seems to be reduced, which is not as good as the previous colleagues." But I think the opposite of you, and I think I have more power than any of my fellow intellectuals. Even...... I think that the officials of the entire Hangzhou Prefecture, including the prefect, are serving the city's shipping department. ”

"Oh?" Everyone looked at Luo Xin in amazement.

"Your Majesty asked this official to run the City Shipping Division, so everything related to the Municipal Shipping Division, even if it is only a little implicated, must be based on the Municipal Shipping Division."

Everyone immediately understood what Luo Xin meant, that is, no matter what problems our city encountered, all officials in Hangzhou, including the prefect, must help solve them. This is not a request, but an order.

But......

Can this be done?

Luo waved his hand and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

Everyone sat down one after another, Luo Xin looked at those officials solemnly, and said in a condensed voice: "You remember to me that when dealing with other officials, you must be strong and confident. If there is a problem that cannot be solved, tell the official, and the official will come forward in person. ”

At this time, in the lobby of the prefect, some officials also gathered.

The faces of all the officials were smiling, and the prefect Song Danian was also smiling when he sat on the main seat. Everywhere, there is competition between the chief officer and the adjutant. The fight is nothing more than power. For example, the last Tongzhi in Hangzhou drank Song Danian and fought fiercely, which once made Song Danian very embarrassed.

But it's different now.

That fellow was transferred, and a Luo Xin came. When I just received the notice, Song Danian had that headache.

Who is Luo Xin?

That is a generation of military gods, crisscrossing the grassland, beating the grassland tartars to the ground, such a person must be a violent temper, must be a difficult master. As the lord of an army, he must be a person who is used to being the master, can he not fight for power and profit?

Moreover, Luo Xin is still the champion of this dynasty, a generation of Confucianism, and his status as a literati, if he is not an official position, he will definitely surpass him Song Danian!

This made him sigh, a wolf left, and a tiger came.

But......

Then he got the news that Luo Xin, a fellow intellectual, was only in charge of the city department, and didn't care about other things, in other words, it limited Luo Xin's scope of authority.

Rejoice!

It excites him!

With this restriction, how can this Luo Xin still compete with him for power?

After this news spread, the officials of Hangzhou immediately understood what they should do, originally those officials still wanted to lean towards Luo Xin after hearing that Luo Xin was coming, especially those who had offended Song Danian before. Now that I understand it, they all leaned towards Song Danian, can this not make Song Danian happy?

Therefore, today is the day when Luo Xin opened the office, and no one went to congratulate him, but they all gathered here in Song Danian. This made Song Danian's heart even happier.

However, among these people, there are also people who do not belong to the gods, Song Danian's henchman, Yan Cheng, the official who pushed the official, sat there, and a trace of worry flashed on his face from time to time. This made Song Danian a little unhappy in his heart, everyone is happy here, why are you unhappy? So, he turned his head to Yan Chengdao:

"Lord Yan, but there is something on your mind?"

"My lord, I am worried about this year's harvest."

"Huh?"

"Your Excellency!" Yan Cheng said solemnly: "Judging from the weather this year, it should be a rainy year, and our Hangzhou is originally a watery place, and we are afraid that it will cause waterlogging." ”

When Song Danian heard this, his heart also jumped.

Ahh

Now there is no one to compete with him for power and profit, but once there is a flood, this is also his own responsibility! Luo Xin is only in charge of the city, Hangzhou is a big thing, and it has nothing to do with him, all the responsibility is his Song Danian, just thinking about it, he heard Yan Cheng say again:

"There's more important things to do."

Song Danian's heart trembled and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Mechanic!" Yan Cheng spit out two words with a serious expression.

Song Danian's face was pale, and the southeast places today are very different from before. It was previously known as the Land of Fish and Rice, and although it is now also known as the Land of Fish and Rice, it has another name, the House of Silk.

In other words, in the entire southeast, there are already rudiments of industry. Take the whole Hangzhou as an example, there are nearly 2,000 silk weaving workshops, almost seventy percent of the people in Hangzhou are working in silk weaving workshops, and these people are far from enough, there are a large number of outsiders poured into Hangzhou, into the workshops, the total number of these outsiders has exceeded 50,000. These people are called mechanics, these people are living at the bottom of society, but these people are very united and have a very united heart. As long as there is something for one person, tens of thousands of people will respond, there has been such a thing in Hangzhou City, and the previous prefect was dismissed because of the violent incident of these mechanics. So as soon as Yan Song mentioned this matter, Song Danian's face also became solemn.

"Let's all go down tomorrow, according to their respective division of labor, do their work well, especially in terms of Heti and mechanics, and pay special attention."

"My lord, Luo Tongzhi wants to establish the City Division, if he needs our help, you can see ......"

Song Danian frowned slightly and said, "Try to provide convenience." ”

"If he asks for money?"

"No money!" Song Danian immediately said: "Your Majesty didn't say that we should share a piece of the tax burden to the city department. ”

Speaking of this, Song Danian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's try to satisfy him for the rest." ”

Song Danian was scattered here, and Luo Xin was also dispersed on his side.

Today was just a dozen or so key officials, and on the second day, it was the day when Luo Xin wanted to summon all the officials of the city.

The sky is slightly bright.

Luo Xin got up and came to the courtyard, first played a set of Tai Chi, and then practiced a set of fan exercises, and sweated finely, then washed up, ate breakfast, and prepared for the first time today.

No matter how big the Beijing officials are and how many people they have, they can't put on that kind of pomp like the emperor's early dynasty. They could only sit in their own rooms, and if they wanted to see whomever they wanted, they would send scribes to summon them, and they would never appear to all their men to come and see him, as the emperor had done in the early days.

But foreign officials are different, their so-called pai ya is almost a copycat version of the emperor's early dynasty, which will make foreign officials addicted. This is also the place where all Beijing officials envy foreign officials the most.
