It was already evening when we came back from the field. Zhao Jun and his friends had finished their work in the morning, mainly because they had been waiting for the industrious officials all afternoon.
Under the watchful eyes of a group of big bosses, this group of industrious officials worked hard without even having lunch, so they could finish plowing their own fields before evening.
The people left with satisfaction. Whether it was the invited people's representatives or the nearby people who came spontaneously, they all left with a topic to talk about. Today, this scene will quickly spread throughout Yunzhou County.
The stories about the princes and princesses’ golden hoes and golden bamboo baskets, and the white-meat dumplings will spread far and wide, as will the news about those useless snack officials who only took a day to complete the fields.
At night, in the study room of Prince Yun's Mansion.
After breakfast, Zhao Jun came here with the prince. He asked the maid to prepare hot water and massage the feet of himself and the prince comfortably. Zhao Jun waved to the side.
Jiang He walked over with his head lowered.
"Your Majesty."
Jiang He called in a low voice.
Zhao Jun gave a faint hum and said casually: "Xiao Hong, please work harder, I will have food and shelter!"
"Okay, my lord!"
Xiao Hong, who was dressed in red, responded tenderly, and Rou Yi pressed harder on Zhao Jun's feet.
"Hiss, not bad! Just right!"
Zhao Jun sighed happily, then lay back comfortably on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes slightly.
The prince next to him was lying on the imperial chair in almost the same posture. After a tiring day, it was really comfortable to press it like this at night!
There is also this Taishi chair, which is absolutely amazing. You should take one with you when you go back, otherwise the craftsman who knows how to make it can take one with you. Lao Liu is not so good. He didn’t even know to tell his elder brother about such a good thing.
Ouch, hiss! Comfortable!
Jiang He stood there with an embarrassed look on his face, not knowing what to do. He always felt that it was quite out of place for him to stand here now.
After being quiet for a while, Zhao Jun suddenly said: "Jiang He."
"Your Majesty, my subordinate is here!"
Jiang He hurriedly responded.
Zhao Jun nodded slightly, and then continued: "As an official of Yunzhou County, I believe that in addition to the necessary ability to handle government affairs, at least I cannot be a person who is indifferent to the four bodies and five grains. What do you think?
Do you think officials who don’t even know or understand the most basic things in a country can manage the place well?
What I have learned on paper is ultimately shallow, and I know that I have to do it in detail.
You can't read these things in books, and how can people who don't know how to govern a place manage it according to the actual situation of the place?
What this often brings about in the end is that officials only follow the script when governing the local area, and do not understand how to adapt to local conditions, which leads to more and more chaos in the local area, and the people will suffer accordingly. Do you think what I said is right? "
What can Jiang He say?
He could only nod his head repeatedly: "What the prince said is that empty talk will not achieve reality. If there is no practical experience, everything you do will be just empty talk on paper."
"Um."
Zhao Jun nodded and slowly opened his eyes that had been closed. Jiang He understood that the real drama was coming. What the prince said just now was just setting the tone for now.
"But what happened in the field today made me very disappointed!"
Zhao Jun's words suddenly turned cold.
The cold sweat on Jiang He's forehead fell instantly.
Just listen to Zhao Jun continue:
"You are the official of Yunzhou County. If I don't ask anyone else for this matter, I will ask you, Jiang He!"
All officials in Yunzhou County need your signature to confirm their appointment, and our Yunzhou County has long ago begun to select retired members from the military to serve as local grassroots officials.
They have done a good job and have not had any major troubles for so long. However, retired soldiers from the Yunzhou Army from the county magistrate level and above are not competent. This must require some knowledge.
Therefore, I authorize the Yunzhou County Sheriff's Office to select qualified scholars from among the people who come to Yunzhou County to serve as senior officials, so that the administrative system of Yunzhou County can flow smoothly.
The results are gratifying.
Great talents like Wang Cezhi emerged from this selection, and they won a lot of benefits for our Yunzhou County.
But today, I discovered that there are many people who are just pretending to be fake.
This is your dereliction of duty as a county guard! "
Zhao Jun's speaking voice was not high-pitched, but his plain speaking voice put great psychological pressure on Jiang He, the governor of Yunzhou County.
He lowered his head and had to admit his mistake repeatedly.
The prince on the side listened to the conversation between the two and looked at Zhao Jun with some surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
In his opinion, ordinary Zhao Jun is like a child who has not grown up, laughing and cursing in an uncharacteristic manner.
But he didn't expect that when he got down to business, the little brother he had been protecting since childhood would be so majestic and capable, which really impressed him.
No wonder Yunzhou County has become what it is now in the past few years since he came to Yunzhou County. It is really not easy for him to be the sixth child!
"My lord, this is the official's dereliction of duty. I am willing to accept any punishment!"
Jiang He admitted his mistake honestly, but Zhao Jun did not speak. He was silent for a while before speaking:
"Punishment on you won't do much, what I want to see is an improvement in this situation.
It is true that the rise of Yunzhou County is too fast, causing our official team to be mixed. However, as the head of a county, I also hope that you can rely on your own ability to make the official team pure within a limited time.
There shouldn’t be any big changes in Yunzhou County in the next few years, so I hope that in the next few years and following the quiet period, you can gradually replace a group of officials who are energetic, honest and capable of doing things. Gradually replace some of the corpses with people who are simply eating to improve our official team.
Starting from the first batch of graduates this year, Yunzhou Political School will train a large number of officials for Yunzhou County in the coming years. For these blank sheets of paper with only experience, we should give them more opportunities and prepare for them. They guide the future direction so that they can get into a position of shining for Yunzhou County as soon as possible.
do you understand? "
Zhao Jun's words were calm, but Jiang He's heart was already in an uproar.
This is a big blood change!
It's just that the prince didn't ask for it to be done overnight, but gave him time to figure it out slowly, which made him feel relieved.
Dang Ji bowed and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jiang He doesn't have to worry."
"Um."
Zhao Jun nodded slowly, and then asked: "Where is the army?"
Jiang He understood that his prince was asking about the 100,000-strong army that was going on the expedition, so he immediately replied: "We have reached the border of Tuta tribe. We are still more than two hundred miles away from Yunzhou City. I think we can come back the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at most in the morning." ”
Zhao Jun nodded and told: "The rewards and pensions for the soldiers must be prepared in advance, and they must be distributed when the soldiers return to camp. Don't let the soldiers who work for Yunzhou County feel cold. In addition, for those recruited The auxiliary soldiers, the Tatars and our Song people all gave them enough silver.
As for those Japanese people..."
At this point, Zhao Jun paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Just retaliate as we prepared earlier, use the enemy to fight the enemy, and see what the effect is."
"promise!"
"Back off!"
Zhao Jun closed his eyes again.
Jiang He nodded silently and then slowly exited the study.
As the study door was slowly closed, Prince Zhao Ming suddenly asked:
"Lao Liu, you seem to be very targeted at the Japanese!"
Zhao Jun did not open his eyes and said calmly: "Although they are useful dogs, if they cannot be controlled, they will turn into wolves that devour their masters.
No matter how much we are wary of and targeted against them, it is natural.
I don't want what happened to happen again. "
"Things that already exist?"
Zhao Ming repeated these four words in confusion, but Zhao Jun seemed not to hear him and did not answer him again.
Zhao Ming had serious doubts, but he didn't say anything more. He closed his eyes and began to enjoy the service of Technician No. 88.
