"Let's see." Chang Qingyun said. If Liu Hope's "ambition" were normal, he could slowly pursue it and sow discord... There are many tricks to play with. But now that the grain ship is about to arrive, there is no time to play these tricks. What he cares more about is another thing:
"It's just about this drama box. Do you have any clues about it now? Liu Zhizhang keeps asking about it every day. I didn't expect this person to be so addicted to drama." He shook his head and said.
"There is a theater box." Yi Haoran smiled, "It's just meaningless. I can't take it out."
"Oh? Where?"
"It's in the Third General Mansion - in the warehouse of the General Town Mansion." Yi Haoran said, "I learned from an old official that the eunuch guarding Wuzhou in Wanli Year liked to listen to operas, so he brought a theater troupe from the north. The complete set of theater boxes was left when he left office. It was inconvenient to transport these theater boxes, so they were all left in Wuzhou. They were left there for decades - no one has touched them in these years, so they should be well preserved."
"Isn't this the same as nothing." Chang Qingyun said disappointedly. The Third General Office is now a restricted area, and personnel entering and exiting are strictly controlled. Even Liu Hope himself couldn't extract the trick box.
"It's useless, but I can help you at least." Yi Haoran said.
"That's all it can do." Chang Qingyun nodded, "I'll go back first."
He stood up to leave, but suddenly Yi Haoran stopped him: "Slow down!"
"?"
"I suddenly came up with a plan, but I don't know if it's appropriate..."
"Please tell me and listen." Chang Qingyun became interested.
"It's just that you have to find the method from the theater box."
"I can't get the theater box out, so I'm in vain!"
Yi Haoran nodded: "With our ability, we naturally can't take it out. However, it might be possible to ask Liu Youyou to go."
"Well, I'm afraid it won't work." Chang Qingyun felt embarrassed, "Although Liu Hope has been a little obsessed with listening to theater recently, he still understands the seriousness of the matter: the Third General Mansion is now a forbidden area for thieves, and he must inform him in advance even if he wants to enter. , it is absolutely impossible to take it out quietly..."
"Then let Guo Minglu take it out." Yi Haoran said, "He is also one of the local fake Kun leaders. He has no face at all?"
"It's really hard to say." Chang Qingyun frowned and said, "Now is the time when war and military power are powerful. Do you want to have a troupe? Liu Youwang is afraid and doesn't dare to ask for it..."
He was suddenly stunned as he spoke, and a thought suddenly came to his mind - there might be something to be done in this way! Chang Qingyun thought to himself. Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "Okay, let's give it a try."
"Do you have any idea?"
"Although I'm not completely sure, I'm still 60 to 70 percent certain." Chang Qingyun said, "But what's your plan?"
"Listen to me..."
Chang Qingyun came to the camp and told Liu Youyou everything about the theater box.
"Old Chang, doesn't it mean you haven't found anything?" Liu Hope said with some dissatisfaction. The Third General Mansion is now a restricted area, and entry and exit checks are very strict. Even naturalized citizens are not allowed to come and go at will. Not to mention moving seven or eight large boxes out from inside!
"Ashamed, ashamed."
"Don't be ashamed. Let's talk about it. What else can you think of? It's not like this theater box is only available in the main town."
Chang Qingyun said: "Nowadays, in Wuzhou City, the only one with a full set of theater boxes is the town hall. This thing is not something that ordinary people can afford..." He paused and looked at it. Looking at Liu Hope, "Students have another idea."
Xie Erren didn't know that there was an undercurrent surging at the moment, and someone wanted to show him "color". In his opinion, the current situation in Wuzhou has improved significantly. First of all, Guangxi has won consecutive battles; Huang Chao also stabilized the situation in northern Guangdong, not only defeating the bandits, but also controlling the scope of the rioting Yao people within the three regions of Lianyang without further expansion; the rapidly expanding national population Although the army's combat effectiveness was not high and its losses were heavy, it effectively curbed Xiong Wencan's plan of "turning troops into bandits" through large-scale stationing in counties, traffic arteries and road patrols. The security of various places and roads has been significantly improved. Get better.
These victories reflected the public sentiment in Wuzhou, which was the decline of various rumors. The rumors that "Australians are dying" were once so prevalent that they made people in Wuzhou panic. As the good news continued to come, they gradually disappeared.
Even the grain price issue, which was the biggest source of criticism among the people and was once like a wild horse, fell slightly after the news that the Australian grain fleet was about to arrive. This was the first time since Wuzhou was restored.
This news was deliberately leaked by ordering the naturalized cadres after he received the grain shipment from Sanshui. It was indeed very effective. Although this little trick was nothing, it made Xie Erren feel very proud.
People's hearts are gradually becoming more peaceful. Although there are still small groups of bandits causing chaos in Wuzhou, there are no major problems. The security situation in and outside the city has improved significantly. Even in the current meeting of the Advisory Bureau, there are very few representatives absent.
At present, everything is going smoothly for him, and he feels quite satisfied with his ambitions: He never thought that he really has the talent to govern the world! When he applied for transfer as a local official, he was quite apprehensive. When I went to talk to Liu Muzhou and Ming Lang, I felt even more unsure - because the conversation lasted for more than an hour. It seemed simple and casual, but it was an "interview".
Although in the end his interview was "qualified", he might even be excellent - otherwise, he wouldn't have been given a major town like Wuzhou. But after all, Xie Erren has no local administrative work experience at all. He rashly took over a medieval city that was in dire need. No matter how "lofty" he is, he still has no confidence in his heart.
Now the most difficult part is finally over. Not only is the government affairs going smoothly, but Cai Lan's changes have also made Xie Erren's self-confidence soar. He has now begun to collect materials, preparing to write a long newsletter based on his experience in the administration and governance of Wuzhou. He will find a suitable time to send it back to Lingao and publish it in "Two Journals and One Newspaper" - now that it has been decided If you take the route of local chief executive, you must accumulate political capital for yourself as soon as possible.
Just when he was thinking about how to plan this long report as a whole, someone came in and reported:
"Liu Youyou, the manager of the Sanhezui camp, is here and said he wants to report to the chief in person."
"Oh? Why is he here?" Xie Erren was a little surprised, but also felt happy.
Liu Hope rarely appears in Wuzhou City on weekdays. Xie Erren had a good impression of him. It wasn't that Liu Hope's bad deeds in Sanhezui didn't reach his ears at all. He knew more or less rumors about what he was doing from the mouths of naturalized people and retained personnel. But this is a hearsay after all, and no one can provide any real evidence.
Xie Erren felt that the rumors must have a certain degree of authenticity - after all, such things could not be completely eliminated in Lingao, let alone such a newly developed area. In his mind, Liu Hope was roughly Fu Youdi's character. Talented, but poor moral character. After all, as one of the most important local naturalized cadres in Wuzhou, he manages thousands of captives and refugees in the Sanhezui camp without any subordinates and only relies on retained personnel - these people are both human resources. But it was also a barrel of gunpowder that could explode at any time - not only did he manage the camp in an orderly manner, no riots broke out. He also carried out all the assigned tasks one by one without any ambiguity. Moreover, these achievements were achieved under the premise of external security pressure and insufficient internal food supply. This job ability alone is quite outstanding among naturalized civilian cadres. Xie Erren even had the idea of recruiting him.
Since Xie Erren decided to take the route of local chief executive, he has been very concerned about the naturalized cadres. After all, these people are his right-hand men after arriving in the local area. You must have several backup candidates in your pocket.
However, Liu Youyou was somewhat indifferent to him and ignored him during several conversations. Moreover, most of the other naturalized cadres came to him all the time and came to "report on work" no matter what happened, lest they fail to leave an impression on him. Liu Wangwang was the only one who didn't go into the city for nothing. After entering the city, he would hold a meeting and finish his business and leave, never staying in the city again. On weekdays, I just stay in Sanhezui.
Xie Erren was a little confused for a moment, and he didn't know if he was pretending to be stupid or if he was really stupid.
Later, he checked Liu Youyou's cadre file and saw that he had worked under Huang Chao of the Agricultural Committee before joining the army, and then he "suddenly realized": It turned out that Liu Youyou was Huang Chao's man, no wonder he had a cold attitude towards him!
But he didn't give up - when Huang Chao went to northern Guangdong, Liu was not chosen among the administrative team he chose, which showed that Liu's status was not high in his mind and he was a character who could not bear the heavy responsibility. In this case, we can still dig some holes in the future.
"Invite him in." I wonder what he wants to talk to me about? Xie Erren was still looking forward to it.
"Report to the chief!" Liu Youyou stood at attention and gave a military salute, "Liu Youyou came to report on his work."
"Please take a seat." Xie Erren looked at the man in front of him with interest. He has never been very fond of Liu Hope's facial appearance. Although phrenology and facial features have been denounced as "pseudoscience" in the 21st century and are not "politically correct" to talk about, based on his many years of media work experience, these things It's not nonsense. This Liu Hope looks like a typical low-class villain.
"Yes, chief, thank you, chief." Liu Hope felt a little worried. At first he was very hesitant after listening to Chang Qingyun's suggestion: no matter how much he likes listening to operas, he still knows the importance: Chang Qingyun gave him a very high-sounding reason, but in the end singing and listening to operas are just entertainment, so at this juncture, he personally came to ask for it. If you ask for a drama box, will you be regarded as "ignorant" by the chief? Moreover, all the bad things he did in the camp will inevitably reach the ears of the chief. If he offends the chief, new and old accounts will be settled together, and he will be considered finished.
