People have different preferences. Some people think the same thing is done very well, but some people think it is very poor. This is not a fantasy. Whether something is good or bad is closely related to Shangguan's preference.
Everyone looked at Zou Xing.
Facing everyone's attention, Zou Xing smiled and said, "Jing Haibo is still very easy to get along with." After a pause, Zou Xing organized his words before continuing: "Jing Haibo doesn't care about false etiquette, but wants to do the right thing." We do things vigorously and resolutely. Therefore, we always say what we say. But don’t worry, everyone will complain about difficulties when they have difficulties. As long as it is reasonable and reasonable, Qing Jing Haibo can still forgive me."
The others were fine after hearing this, and nodded, understanding in their hearts.
Only Meng Zhixian's heart suddenly tightened, he broke into a cold sweat, and secretly exclaimed: Lucky!
For a person like Jing Haibo, if he came late, he would really be dismissed from his position. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Zou Xing.
At this moment, a naval officer ran over.
Several county magistrates looked at the visitor. The visitor did not hesitate and said loudly as soon as he arrived: "Uncle Jinghai has an order, and the corvee workers in each county will do their best to build plank roads and open fields."
After saying that, he said to Zou Xing: "Master Zou, Uncle Jinghai has invited me."
"Your Majesty, I obey." Several county magistrates bowed to the boat where Handu was sitting.
Looking at Zou Xing's back following the soldiers, they all showed envious expressions. So what if they came here after a long and tiring journey? They didn't even see Jing Haibo's face.
This seaside is still very rough and there is no place to live. Therefore, Han Du has always lived on the boat.
Zou Xing boarded the ship to meet Han Du.
Han Du told him what to do next and asked him to retreat.
Jiang Ming on the side looked at Zou Xing meaningfully for a few times. After he left, he smiled beside Han Du and said, "Uncle, several county magistrates came all the way. It might be a little bad to miss him."
"What's wrong?" Han Du said casually, "As long as they are diligent in their work, I will naturally ask for credit from them."
"Uncle is really open-minded," Jiang Ming smiled awkwardly, pondered for a while, and reminded: "But, I'm afraid that he will act in my uncle's name."
Han Du still looked indifferent and said calmly: "Being able to act in Uncle Ben's name is considered his ability. There is nothing to worry about. On the contrary, Uncle Ben is worried that he does not have the courage."
Jiang Ming's eyes widened when he heard this. Han Du's words really made him a little confused. If Zou Xing really acted in Jing Haibo's name, shouldn't he be worried if he did something wrong?
Seeing that Jiang Ming was confused and Han Du was idle, he wanted to explain to him. Jiang Ming and Zhang Chao were busy following him in a meaningless way. There were some things that they couldn't understand themselves, and Han Du didn't mind giving them a few pointers to help them broaden their horizons. This is only good for them, no harm.
With a plan in mind, Han Du turned to Luo Guo and asked, "What do you think of your magistrate?"
Luo Guo was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand why his uncle suddenly asked him when it was clearly his uncle who was talking to Jiang Shenjiang. But since it was his uncle who asked, Luo Guo could only think for a moment and said: "This Zou Zhixian...how should I put it? I was not qualified to contact this adult before, but I have never heard of this. What is wrong with this gentleman? To be honest, this gentleman is just like a shadow, entering the county government office quietly. If it weren’t for people like Lu Jian later relying on his power to bully others, the little I don’t even know that the county magistrate has been replaced.”
"You mean that the county magistrate is very low-key and doesn't show up often?" Han Du asked Luo Guo with a smile.
Luo Guo nodded sincerely and replied: "Perhaps the common people's knowledge is limited, but the common people have been to the county several times, and indeed they have never heard of any bad deeds about this Zou County magistrate. Even if some people say that this gentleman is a He didn't care about the clay sculpture magistrate, and even let the people gossip."
"What is a clay sculpture magistrate?" Jiang Ming found this statement very strange and asked quickly.
Luo Guo had nothing to say, so he explained to Jiang Ming, "I heard from other people that this Zou County magistrate usually stays in the backyard of the county government office, and rarely even comes to the court. Just like the clay sculptures in the temple, He stayed motionless in the county government office. Therefore, he was jokingly called the clay sculpture magistrate."
"Haha, this is quite interesting," Jiang Mingqian laughed. But I also wondered, "Isn't he angry?"
"I have never heard of Zou Zhixian having a blushing relationship with anyone, otherwise the people would not talk about him so freely." Luo Guo shook his head.
Jiang Ming was surprised, turned to look at Han Du, and asked, "Uncle, how could he be like this?"
Han Du did not explain to Jiang Ming, but continued to ask Luo Guo, "How was he doing before?"
"What else can I do?" Luo Guo sighed, "Everyone says that the magistrate is best at mixing mud, otherwise he wouldn't be called a clay sculpture magistrate."
Han Du smiled and continued to ask, "You have been with him for several days, so what do you think of this Zou Zhixian now? What kind of person is he?"
Han Du asked almost the same words now, but the meaning was different.
Luo Guo lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying: "To be honest, it seems to the common people that the current Zou County magistrate is completely different from the one in the rumors. These days, what he does can be said to be vigorous and resolute, and he is not at all lazy and procrastinating as in the rumors. Now Common people all have a point, maybe everyone has misunderstood this gentleman by spreading rumors."
"How could it be a misunderstanding?" Han Du shook his head and retorted.
The common people are not so bold. If it is not true, how can they dare to arrange their own parents?
"Then what's going on?" Jiang Ming couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "The contrast between his before and after is too great."
Han Du glanced at Jiang Ming, sighed and said: "Not everyone in this world can be like you. They can meet Duke Xin and win favor as soon as they go to the battlefield. With Duke Xin protecting you, you can Galloping on the battlefield, no one dares to mess with you easily, and no one can erase your achievements. But there are too many talents in this world who have no choice but to be promoted just because there is no one in the government. "
Jiang Ming couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He had really never experienced this kind of situation. Is it really as dangerous as adults say?
Seeing Jiang Ming's disbelief, Han Du smiled and said, "Do you think Zou Xing is a fool?"
Jiang Ming shook his head. Zou Xing had been instructing the people to deal with the fish these days, and he was busy around Han Du. He handles all kinds of affairs in an orderly manner and doesn't look like a fool no matter how he looks.
"Since he is not stupid, why doesn't he try his best to climb up? Doesn't he have any extravagant hopes for being an official?" Han Du continued to ask.
Jiang Ming shook his head again. If Zou Xing did not like being an official, he could resign and go home. Since he has been able to serve as the county magistrate in such a remote and poor county for so many years, it shows that he still wants to be an official in his heart. Even if a county magistrate like Zou Xing resigns, no one will care.
"Zou Xing is not stupid, he is very smart." Han Du glanced at Jiang Ming and continued to explain: "He knew that he had no one in the court, so he never thought about meritorious service and promotion. That's why he put himself He is locked up in the county government office and living his own life, not caring about anything and not wanting to care about anything."
This is the mentality of people who have no hope of promotion. Well, it can also be said to be another kind of stubbornness without desire.
Jiang Ming's heart seemed to be illuminated by a ray of light, and he suddenly understood, "So, uncle wants to take him under his command?"
"That's not true," Han Du retorted slightly and said with a smile, "He has been diligent in doing things these days. Now that he has encountered it, it doesn't matter if I help him."
Han Du had no idea about taking him under his command. Some people may think that this is a good way to strengthen their own strength, but in Han Du's view, it has too many disadvantages.
After all, we are dealing with people, and the human heart is very complex. Thinking that you can control everything, in fact, in the end, you can't control anything, it's just a futile effort.
If that's the case, then why take him under his command? After accepting it, you still need to use your own resources to cultivate it. Even if he is cultivated, who can guarantee that he will be loyal? Maybe he could bite him back, that's possible.
forget it!
Now that I have met him, if I want to help him, I can help him without expecting anything in return. I'm happy if I have it, but it doesn't matter if I don't have it.
Zou Xing got off the boat and returned to the shore. As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by a group of county magistrates.
"Brother Zou, I wonder if Jing Haibo is willing to meet me?"
Seeing that everyone looked anxious, Zou Xing had no choice but to clasp his fists and said apologetically: "Uncle Jinghai has an itch. I won't see you all as promised."
As soon as Zou Xing said these words, several people were immediately dissatisfied.
The one who came early suddenly said with a slight anger on his face: "Mr. Zou, I have been waiting for a long and dusty journey. Isn't it possible that Jing Haibo doesn't even want to see him?"
Zou Xing smiled apologetically and explained: "It's really unlucky and there's nothing we can do about it."
"snort......"
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to get tense, someone tried to make peace. "If you don't see me, then see you. Jing Haibo's status is the most valuable, so he should not see us. Anyway, we are just here to bring people to do corvee service. In the past, when we did corvee service, wasn't it just for us to take him with him and finish the work?"
The truth is this truth, and everyone will no longer struggle with this issue. After all, no matter how dissatisfied they are, what can they do? Is it possible that they can still go to Jing Haibo to argue?
"I wonder what Jing Haibo wants from me?"
Zou Xing quickly brought Han Du's words, "Jing Haibo means to divide the people into two parts, one part will dig salt fields and the other part will build plank roads."
Seeing that Zou Xing conveyed Jing Haibo's words without hesitation and ordered them to do things. Some people were unhappy and said, "No wonder we can't see Jing Haibo. It turns out that someone wants to climb a high tree."
