Chapter 534: And follow your heart
Luo Yishui and the others were sad, but beside them, there was still another person standing, that was the county guard of the Taiping Army in Changyang County, Ma Xiangnan, of course, he also had another identity, that is, the official of Great Chu, the younger brother of Ma Xiangdong, the left minister of Chu State. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"General Luo, you better think about my suggestion again!" He chased after Luo Yishui, still without the slightest intention of giving up.
"Yue Guo, you are indeed not suitable to stay any longer, but the world is so big, a talent like General Luo will be valued by all countries wherever he goes. As long as General Luo arrives in Chu, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu will inevitably greet him, and the general can also bring an army again and gallop across the world, isn't it happy? The horse chattered southward.
Luo Yishui now has no way out but to go into exile overseas and go to that unpredictable place, he naturally thinks that this is a good time to recruit this legendary general for the Chu State. After arriving in Changyang from Luo Yishui, he made a small visit a day and a big visit every three days, trying to persuade Luo Yishui to go to Chu State.
Luo Yishui looked at Ma Xiangnan with a smile: "Master Ma, it seems that you are now the county guard of the Taiping Army in Changyang County, entrusted by others, loyal to people, you take the Taiping Army's Yulu, in front of the county guard of the Taiping Army, persuade me to go to the Chu State, have you consulted Qin Feng's opinion?" ”
Ma Xiangnan's face turned red suddenly: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people, I am the county guard, but I have not lived up to Qin Feng's trust at all, I almost only sleep two hours a day, and I am busy restoring the people's livelihood, economy, and perfect political structure of Changyang County for him day and night." But we're just a cooperative relationship, and I'm still an official of Da Chu after all. Someday, I'm going back. ”
Luo Yishui laughed and nodded: "Ma Junshou, let me ask you a question, you have also served as the pro-guardian of Chu in Chu before, and you have been in charge of a county, so, in Changyang County and in your previous Chu land, which one can make you show your strength more?" Does it make you feel more fulfilled? ”
Hearing Luo Yishui's question, Ma Xiangnan suddenly felt silent.
How do you compare? Can't compare!
In Changyang County, although his identity is very sensitive, but the orders he gave are unimpeded in Changyang County, and what he wants to do can be implemented in every corner of Changyang County in a very short time.
Of course, he also knew very well that every decision he made would be sent to Taiping City, to Shayang County, and to Qin Feng's hands in the shortest possible time.
In Chudi, it is impossible for him to be able to completely apply what he has learned in his chest to politics as he is now, Chudi politics has formed an inherent model for hundreds of years, the bureaucratic system is surging, and it is just a piece of cake to push things around, and what is even more uncomfortable is that the introduction of every policy will inevitably be elbowed by many people, digging pits, stumbling blocks, and trying to do a thing, which is extremely difficult and extremely difficult.
This kind of thing, even when his brother Ma Xiangdong became the left minister, it didn't change much, but the way of doing things was more secretive, and he couldn't grasp the handle. Those loaches that don't slip on their hands are simply unreachable.
When one thing is done, they will run to get a piece of the pie, as if they have made a big contribution, and once they fail, one by one they will disappear faster than a rabbit, and even more, some people will want to step on him a few more times.
In contrast, in Changyang, he has a greater sense of accomplishment and comfort.
He once thought that all this was just because Changyang County suffered too much damage during the Moluo period, the original pattern was completely broken, and the new pattern had not yet been formed, but he went to Shayang County and found that it was not the case at all.
The powerful family of Shayang County has not changed much, on the contrary, the family headed by the five families of the Liu family is more powerful in terms of economy than before, and he originally thought that such a place should be similar to Chu Di, but he stayed in Quan Yun's county guard mansion for a few days, and what he saw was similar to the situation he saw in Changyang County.
The number of officials is small, but the efficiency is extremely high, and when a matter is done, the reward that should be awarded, the punishment that should be punished, the provisions of the law are clearly stipulated, and the reward is naturally joyful, but the punished person has no complaints.
Shayang County Shouquan Yun once half-jokingly told him that most of the really capable people in Shayang County now go to business, because now in Shayang County, business is the easiest business to get rich. As an official, the salary is certainly considerable, but if the work is not done properly, or there is a violation of law and discipline, the punishment is also quite severe. Therefore, most of the officials in the county guard office have failed in business and have to come to earn this salary, and if they don't work hard, they can't even earn this salary.
In Shayang County, Ma Xiangnan was surprised to find that being an official here was no longer a very decent, glorious achievement, but just a job to support his family.
If you can't do it well, please find another job.
This kind of conceptual impact made Ma Xiangnan feel a little uncomfortable. But he had to see the positive side of this, an official often did the work of several officials in Chudi, but he was still full of energy. If there are fewer officials, there will be fewer elbows, and if there are few interests, there will be fewer people in the camp.
This made the government of the Taiping Army extremely efficient.
Ma Xiangnan is a person who wants to do things sincerely, otherwise, he would not have asked to come to Changyang County to open up the second battlefield for Chu Di without hesitation under the huge background of his brother.
This is a risky job, if you do it, you will become famous, and if you can't do it, you will most likely be in the wilderness.
The area under the control of the Taiping Army, every one is thriving, and the speed of development is amazing, even Changyang County under his rule, in the past six months, has undergone tremendous changes. Whether it is Taiping City, or Shayang County, or even Yongping County, which has just been under the rule of the Taiping Army, has contributed great strength to the restoration of Changyang County, whether it is in terms of financial resources or personnel, they have spared no effort, which of course comes from the arrangement of the high-level of the Taiping Army, and this kind of mutual support between different regions cannot be seen in Chudi.
In Chu State, everyone is eager for others to be worse and better themselves, so that their hearts will be more comfortable!
The two places are officials, and the huge gap makes Ma Xiangnan very disappointed and hesitant. On the one hand, he is very much enjoying the days he is now in Changyang County, immersed in great achievements and unable to extricate himself, on the other hand, he can't help but think about his own identity, thinking about the glory of Chu State.
In Taiping City, he once begged to see Princess Zhaohua alone, and in the face of this princess of Chu State, he did not shy away from admitting his inner uneasiness, panic, and worry about Chu State, but the current Mrs. Qin, Princess Zhaohua in the past, only said four words to him: and follow your heart!
The four-word reply gave Ma Xiangnan infinite imagination, and also made him even more confused, not knowing what to do.
Qin Feng's strength seems to be beneficial to the Chu State. Because a strong Taiping army will inevitably not be willing to be used by Qi again, but will want to get their own share of the benefits, from this aspect, the situation of Chu is much better than when Wu was in power in the past, because the Taiping army will inevitably involve part of the strength of Qi State, if it is handled properly, maybe the situation of the three countries in the past to resist Qi will reappear, so that the original intention of opening up the second battlefield will be achieved.
But thinking of Qin Feng, the complicated relationship between the Taiping Army and the Chu State, he was not sure what Qin Feng would do? Judging from the skills that Qin Feng has shown now, will a young, ambitious founder of a new dynasty be limited to his current achievements?
The answer, of course, is no.
And follow your heart. Wherever you go, it's worth it. Ma Xiangnan, who has always boasted of moving after making a plan, actually held a donkey to read the record book and watched while walking.
Luo Yishui's words hit his death hole. He had nothing to answer.
Looking at Ma Xiangnan, who had an embarrassed face, Luo Yishui said lightly: "Ma Gong, I don't even want to follow Qin Feng's orders, and I don't even want his subordinates to do it, how can I go to be a cow and a horse for Min Ruoying?" Although the state of Chu is now strong, I dare to say now that within ten years, it may not take so long, and the trend of the world will be reversed. ”
Ma Xiangnan shook his head, thought about it, and shook his head again, what he was thinking in his heart, I'm afraid only he can understand.
"Ma Gong, I advise you, don't think about stepping on two boats, do one thing, you have to be wholehearted, when you can't decide which one thing is more beneficial, you might as well follow your own heart and see what you want in the end, right? When I go overseas, I say that there is an irresistible external force, but why not follow my own heart? ”
Again, follow your heart. Ma Xiangnan looked at Luo Yishui with amazement, sighed, and arched his hand: "Since General Luo has made up his mind, then I wish the general a smooth journey." ”
Luo Yishui smiled, hugged his fists and returned the salute, turned around and stepped on the gangplank, and the moment he stepped on the bow of the boat, he turned his head and wanted to take another look at this great river and mountain, but the whole person froze at the moment when he looked back.
In the distance of the pier, a scholar-like person was walking slowly.
At first glance, the man was still far away, and when he rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dazzled, the man was already in front of him.
With his hands behind his back, this scholar looked indifferent, looking like he was fifty or sixty years old, wearing a green robe, and his long beard was neatly trimmed, and he didn't see anything unusual from his appearance, but at this moment, everyone on the pier of Baoqing Port was stunned.
