Since Zeng Jize chose the site of the Cantonese Dialect Museum here, Guan Zhuofan asked Zhao Jingxian to send someone to discuss with a total of more than a dozen households on the street where the Old School Palace is located, to see if they can buy these houses, and then build a new row of houses in the south of the street.

"Sir, what is the reason for this?" Zhao Jingxian asked with great interest.

"I plan to take this street, together with the Old School Palace, for people who set up foreign affairs to live." Kwan Zhuofan explained, "Let them not only take care of each other, but also have a place to learn and skill, and can do things with peace of mind without being disturbed by others." If necessary, it is not impossible to send a messenger to work at the street entrance. ”

Zhao Jingjing thought to himself, this method is fresh, but it is really a good way!

"That street, originally called Dali Street, was very indecently named. Since it's going to be used for this purpose, why doesn't the marshal give it another name? ”

Name? Guan Zhuofan said in his heart, it's called Shanghai Science and Technology Park, what does Brother Zhu think?

"It's called Xuegong Street, what does Brother Zhu think?"

"Good, good, at a glance."

After Zhao Jingxian finished speaking, he pondered for a while and said: "Take down other people's old houses, plus more than a dozen newly renovated houses, as well as the rest of the Cantonese dialect hall, plus the deed tax of 'one tael of silver and three cents'...... It will take about thirteen thousand silver to do it. ”

Guan Zhuofan knew that at this time, the housing prices in Shanghai were far from being as terrifying as the magic capital of later generations. I can't help but think that if anyone is spending a lot of money at this time, they will buy more than a dozen streets. and then into the hands of the generations to come. Forbes on top of the list. Don't take it too easy!

But how did it get on? There is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. He secretly laughed in his heart that he was thinking crankily, Zhao Jingxian would probably not have such thoughts as himself, because people are honest.

Honest because there is still a place to live, if you can't even afford a house, maybe you can still have such a backbone?

It's not right, I think Lin Zexu entered Beijing at the beginning, and he really couldn't afford to buy a house in Beijing by relying on Yulu. The famous governor had to live in his son's house. It can be seen that there are still honest people after all.

Since he thought of this, he simply brought up an idea that had been brewing in his heart for many days to Zhao Jingxian.

"Brother Zhu, whether we are doing foreign affairs in Jiangsu, or running military affairs and civil affairs, to be honest, they are all things that cost money, and the silver we handle is like flowing water. It was started at the beginning. Maybe it's okay to keep an eye on it. When the days are long, the heart is slack, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will reach out. ”

"The marshal is very worried, so there is Liu Songyan's Yamen who will investigate and deal with it at any time."

"The chief prisoner of the Yamen is in charge of supervision, and there is this. However, in the past few decades, the supervision of this piece has been abandoned for a long time, and everyone knows it. The cases handled are nothing more than businessmen and ordinary people, petty officials and officials, if they encounter the cases of 'adults', what will happen? ”

According to the rules, those who can be called "adults" are officials above the fourth grade, and in Jiangsu, that is, above the Taoist platform. Zhao Jingxian was slightly startled, and asked hesitantly: "Sir, do you mean ......?"

"It's not just about other people. For example, I can trust the integrity of the five of you, otherwise I would not dare to entrust it with heavy responsibilities. Guan Zhuofan said lightly, "But what I'm afraid of is 'flowers without a hundred days of red', if one day, someone in it makes a mistake, so what?" ”

The five people he said were the five people of the "New Deal Committee" he circled, in addition to Zhao Jingxian, there were also Ding Shijie, Liu Xunjiao, Yang Fang and Libin.

This sentence was very heavy, Zhao Jingxian felt a chill in his heart, weighed the weight, and then opened his mouth.

"Sir, you know what Jing Xian is like, and as for the others, I dare to guarantee ......"

"You have to vouch for yourself!" Guan Zhuofan unceremoniously cut off his words, "An official above the fourth grade of the province, can you Zhao Zhusheng be able to keep it?" ”

"This ......"

Guan Zhuofan had never said such heavy words to him, Zhao Jingxian didn't understand what he meant for a while, and he muttered for a long time before he spoke again.

"If other officials make mistakes, the five of us will naturally correct their mistakes. The marshal is the governor of Jiangsu, and if the five of us have a problem, we will naturally not be able to escape the insight of the marshal. ”

"Brother Zhu, there are no outsiders here." Guan Zhuofan slowed down his tone, "I won't tell you, if I am transferred out of Jiangsu one day, then I will definitely guarantee you to take over the position of Su Fu." ”

"Sir, where does this begin?" Zhao Jingxian was taken aback, "Jiangsu's foreign affairs have just started, and they are ...... when they are promising."

"That's an afterthought, and I'm not saying that I'm leaving office tomorrow." Guan Zhuofan smiled and waved his hand, "But what you said is also good, Jiangsu's foreign affairs have just started." You're welcome, now that I'm here, I can still hold my head, but what if one day I'm gone? There must always be a special system, and it is best to have special people to rectify the conduct and discipline of high-ranking officials. ”

Having said that, Zhao Jingxian finally understood.

"Sir, I see what you mean. Such a person, if he is in Kyori, is a character on Kashiwadai. ”

Baitai is another name for the imperial history platform, and the people of Baitai refer to the imperial history. The imperial history of the capital has a special status, not only can it be heard, but also up to the prince, down to the micro officials, but if there is a violation of discipline, it can be played and corrected.

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, Zhao Jingxian can't be wrong when he compares the imperial history, but what he envisions is different.

"Brother Zhu, the person I'm talking about, no matter what else he does, he specializes in clean government, whether it is foreign affairs or military affairs and civil affairs, and all those who are full of money, embezzlement, favoritism, presumptuousness, and false response to stories will be corrected! And this person, in other special ways, is that he is directly under your command and is not subject to the orders of others. ”

"Oh-", this time, Zhao Jingxian completely understood, thought about it, and said: "This is the commissioner of integrity." ”

It's not bad to say that his mother is an old lady. Guan Zhuofan didn't expect that Zhao Jingxian would actually call out this name in one bite, which is really related to me.

"Good! That's the name! He looked at Zhao Jingxian and said in a heartfelt tone, "Brother Zhu, let me say it directly, when it comes to the word incorruptible, I can never compare with you." Not to mention anything else, I just married a room of concubines and entered the door, and the daily expenses, relying on my share alone, are naturally not enough, and it can barely be supported by a little old foundation left by my father. I don't accept gifts when I drink the wine, it's a start, I want to put on a haode appearance for everyone to see, as for the real purging of the officialdom in Jiangsu, I want to ask Brother Zhu heavily! ”

He bragged about it here, which means that I have a very clean hand and foot with someone, and the money spent is my father's inheritance, and as for my father's Weishenme can leave a rich inheritance, then there is no need to talk about it, everyone knows it.

Although this statement is not entirely untrue, it can be justified at best. The key is that for Zhao Jingxian, Guan Futai is really touched to be so honest with himself. What's even more rare is that the current officialdom is corrupt and colluded, and suddenly there is such an official, shouting clean government, and entrusting himself with full responsibility, which makes Zhao Jingxian, who is known for his character and honesty and pride, have a big mind and think that his confidant in life is nothing more than that, where is he willing to investigate how his family property came from?

"Sir!" Zhao Jingxian pulled the crutches beside him, supported it hard, and stood up, "Although Jingxian is useless, in this matter alone, I dare to say that I will live up to my trust!" ”

Seeing him so excited, Guan Zhuofan couldn't help but stand up and face each other to show his grandeur.

"Brother Zhu, these things in the officialdom are entangled and entangled, and they can't be harmed all at once. You might as well start with the new deal first, keep this piece of pure land, and then expand it, and then it can be expected. ”

"Yes, I do." Zhao Jingxian nodded calmly, "In the Governorate-elect, there may be appropriate people, wait for me to think about it, carefully select, and then report to the marshal to know." ”

The alternate Taoist prefect is an idle official, with the rank of four or five grades, and there are thirty or forty in Jiangsu Province alone, and there are about many people who are honest and capable but not good at drilling. Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, it would be a good way to pull out one or two people from these people.

It was at this time that Zhang Shun came in with a notebook in his hand, hunched his waist, and wanted to withdraw as soon as he put the case down.

Guan Zhuofan knew that there were officials at the bottom who asked to see him. picked it up casually and flipped through it, and stopped Zhang Shun.

"You don't have any eyesight! I'll talk to Lord Zhao about things here, a six-rank official's handbook, and you will also hand it in? You said it yourself, how many door bags did you collect? ”
