Speaking with facts, this is actually the easiest way to educate people, the Ming scholars, educated by Confucianism, not only have the idea of returning to the hometown in fine clothes, glorifying the ancestors, etc., but also have the idea of self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, coupled with the prosperity of the Zhenguan rule propagated by the royal family, so that many readers are enthusiastic in their hearts, they do want to do an earth-shattering career, but those who enter the imperial court are often defeated by reality, and most of them, ideals and ambitions no longer exist, only left the idea of glory and wealth and glory of the ancestors, and it is precisely because of the invasion of bad habits in the officialdom that some ambitious scholars are also forced to go along with the same stream, not caring what history will say, as long as their own interests are guaranteed, nothing matters.

Zheng Xunrui, who is familiar with the shortcomings of officialdom, the day he entered the imperial court, what he thought of was to change the bad habits in the officialdom and change the attitude of the people around him, whether it was in Shaanxi or Huaibei, he did this, and basically did it, at least in Shaanxi and Huaibei at all levels of government, the interests of the people must be put in mind, which is what any official must know, whether you are willing or not, but you must do things according to the rules.

Zheng Xunrui has only one person, he can't have infinite energy, staring at every official in Shaanxi and Huaibei, but he tried to cultivate a group of henchmen, these people understand his thoughts, know what to do, and then these people go to all levels of government as the chief official, with their own words and deeds to ask and influence a group of people, through such means, his concept of governance slowly covered Shaanxi and Huaibei all over the country.

Although Zheng Xunrui has left Shaanxi, Shaanxi Governor Wen Zhenheng is strictly in accordance with the requirements put forward by Zheng Xunrui, on the one hand, restricting the power of the gentry and wealthy households, on the other hand, helping the poor people, caring about the suffering of Baixin, in an extremely poor place like Shaanxi, this seemingly simple means. It has played a huge role in stabilizing the local government to the greatest extent, and at the same time, Wen Zhenheng and Zheng Xunrui's understanding of county governance and world security is exactly the same, and they both pay special attention to the construction of state and county governments. The requirements for the chief officials of the state and county are very clear, and the governors and county orders that are found to be unqualified will be adjusted as soon as possible.

Huaibei is a rich place, and the situation is a little more complicated, but the difference is not too big. After serving as the governor of Caoyun, Zheng Xunrui still put helping the poor people and caring for the people's suffering in the first place, cracking down on the Cao Gang, removing the unreasonable exploitation of the people's joints in the Caoyun, etc., all of which safeguarded the interests of the people to the greatest extent.

Huaibei's scholar class, Zheng Xunrui did not move them for the time being, but in terms of bullying the people, Zheng Xunrui is unceremoniously, as long as there are people in the scholar class who dare to do this, no matter what background he is, Zheng Xunrui will not forgive. Severe punishment and crackdown, as for the businessmen, there must be some resentment, but this has no effect, Hongmen firmly controls the merchants, they must pay protection fees as required, otherwise they will not be able to do business in Huaibei, the former president of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce Ye Mingfei What happened to all the businessmen is clear, in the eyes of many businessmen. Zheng Xunrui levied protection fees with an iron and bloody hand, Ye Mingfei's huge family property was all gone overnight, and Ye Mingfei himself died. This kind of ending of family ruin, Shang Jia can't bear it at all.

Of course, the most critical point is that the forces of Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe suffered a heavy blow in Huaibei, and the Donglin Party was originally the backstage of businessmen and scholars, but unfortunately this force in Huaibei was gradually cleared by Zheng Xunrui. I don't have time to take care of myself, where can I still have the ability to help many businessmen.

The way of doing things on one side is hard and soft on the other side, which is quite similar to the practice of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which limits the power of scholars, cares about the suffering of the people, and maintains social balance and stability to the greatest extent.

Before coming to Huaibei, Wu Weiye was not clear about Huaibei affairs, although his hometown is in Kunshan, Suzhou, not too far from Huaibei, but because of avoidance, after entering the imperial court as an official, he basically did not return to his hometown, and sometimes he took time out to go home during spring break, but he also came and went in a hurry, busy with many entertainments.

This time, Wu Weiye calmed down and took a look at all parts of Huaibei.

Li Panlong, who accompanied Wu Weiye, was adjusted from the position of the county order of Shanyin County to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, and served as the patrol of the imperial history, and this time accompanied Wu Weiye to Huaibei to take a look around, he did not brag about how good Huaibei was doing, all of this had to be seen and felt by Wu Weiye himself, but he only answered some of the questions raised by Wu Weiye.

In Huaibei, as long as Wu Weiye still went to the capital and state cities of the four prefectures and three prefectures to have a look, he originally thought that Zheng Xunrui would make some special arrangements, but he didn't think that there would be no arrangements, and Li Panlong, who accompanied him, rarely spoke, and he Wu Weiye decided to go anywhere to see, or even go directly to the people's homes to see, it was okay.

Just when he arrived in Luzhou and Fengyang, Wu Weiye had an extraordinary feeling, he couldn't describe his feelings, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was always something inappropriate about the things he believed in before.

Donglin Academy is also under the banner of caring about the suffering of the people and thinking of the common people in the world, and requires officials to be honest and upright, to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and to resolutely fight against those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even at the cost of sacrificing their lives, but for so many years, Wu Weiye has not seen this, the Donglin Party members in the court, what they do and the concept of Donglin Academy, there is a huge gap, and the party struggle has exhausted Wu Weiye.

The peaceful atmosphere of Luzhou Mansion and Fengyang Mansion made Wu Weiye have an unprecedented excitement, walking into the homes of ordinary people, not seeing the dishes, not seeing the sorrow, although some people have nothing valuable at home, but they trust the government, and the most important thing is not to see hungry people.

The reaction of the scholar class was mixed, but some of the scholars praised the officials, and the government did fulfill its promise to care for the people's suffering and help the poor, and the government abolished the fire consumption and other malpractices, so that the burden of the people was greatly reduced, so that the people could really settle down.

There are no bandits in Huaibei, and since Lord Zheng came to Huaibei, the bandits have been completely exterminated, and after their lives are stable, no one is willing to be bandits.

What surprised Wu Weiye the most was the township rules and conventions in various parts of Huaibei, these township rules and conventions have been uniformly revised by the government and sent down in the name of official notices, and villages and towns must strictly implement the township rules and regulations, Wu Weiye carefully read the township rules and conventions in Luzhou and Fengyang, and found that although there are some differences in the subtleties, the general principles are exactly the same, and they all emphasize the observance of many rules.

Zheng Xunrui was able to pay attention to the township rules and regulations, and improve them, adding many things in the Ming law, respecting the habits of the people, and ensuring the interests of the imperial court, which is indeed the best means to stabilize the place.

The more he looked at it, the more he sighed, Wu Weiye gradually became convinced in his heart, he knew that the gap between himself and Zheng Xunrui was too big, and as for Zhang Pu and others, it was even more incomparable.

It was also in the process of walking around and taking a look around that Wu Weiye really felt that Zheng Xunrui was indeed dedicated to doing things, and he didn't care about Zhang Pu and the others' deliberate attacks at all, if Zheng Xunrui really focused his attention on dealing with Zhang Pu and others, I am afraid that Zhang Pu would not be able to deal with it at all.

Wu Weiye's inner thoughts gradually became firm, no matter what, he would not be an enemy of Zheng Xunrui, what Zheng Xunrui did in Huaibei was in line with the interests of the people and the interests of the imperial court.

After returning to Huai'an, Wu Weiye went to Shanyin County to have a look, he knew that Li Yan was the acting county commander of Shanyin County, and he wanted to see the situation in Shanyin County.

In Shanyin County for three days, Wu Weiye even went to the villages and towns, and went to see a lot of places, the more he looked at him, the more surprised he felt, the wealth of Shanyin County exceeded his imagination, and the vast majority of the people's homes actually had surplus grain, and during the autumn harvest, Li Yan took the officials of the county government to the villages and towns in person to supervise the payment of taxes, prevent the officials from taking the opportunity to exploit the people, and also personally verify the situation of the poor people.

It is indeed unfair for such an official who is really doing things to become a victim because of some special disputes, Wu Weiye faintly felt that Zheng Xunrui would definitely protect Li Yan, at least Li Yan is still doing things in the county government now, and he is still presiding over all the affairs of the Shanyin County government.

It lasted more than half a month, Wu Weiye saw a lot of places, and his determination became even firmer, if he did it according to the requirements of Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun and others, it would be to help the abuse, that is, at this time, Wu Weiye had strong doubts about the things he insisted on in the past.

Returned to the official post, Wu Weiye didn't go out for two days, thinking alone, and didn't want anyone to disturb him, he needed to think seriously, this time he gained too much, after he digested it, he had to go to see Zheng Xunrui, ask some doubts in his heart, and figure out some reasons.

Two days later, Wu Weiye, who walked out of the official post again, his whole expression changed a lot, the decadent mood was completely gone, and he regained a trace of calmness and calmness between his gestures.

Wu Weiye rushed to the Governor's Mansion and asked to see Zheng Xunrui, I don't know why, at this moment he felt nervous, as if a student was going to take the exam, maybe this conversation will determine what kind of choice he should make in the future, of course, once the future choice is determined, Wu Weiye will firmly adhere to it, and there will be no wavering.
