It is precisely because of reading Shi Jianzhi's book, meeting Xie Yanzhi, and listening to his words that he has now become a good official in the eyes of the people.
It is precisely because of this that he was able to make a great contribution to this disaster!
God knows how happy he was when he received another letter from me a few days ago praising him.
The family praised him again and again in the letter, and said that the third prince said that he had done well and brought glory to their faction!
Now, after being summoned, he traveled all night and arrived early.
The purpose is to ask Xie Yanzhi before meeting Master Wei if there is any way to merge Liuyun County and Liufeng County, and then let him take charge.
Even though he is just a civil servant, he is not only talented, but he also has a talented person who cares about him wholeheartedly and helps him.
It is really a bit unfair to only manage a small county in this way.
He wanted to merge the two counties into one big city and let him continue to be the official of his parents.
Xie Yanzhi didn't know Xu Chongguang's ambition at all. When he hurried to the gate and saw Xu Chongguang on the carriage, he was relieved but also a little surprised.
"I don't know that Brother Xu is here, but Xie is not welcome from afar. I hope Brother Xu will be considerate!"
Xu Chongguang didn't want Xie Yanzhi to get along with him, so when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Xie Xian, what you said is a heretic! It's because I visited you rashly without posting a message first..."
He felt awkward saying such docile words, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "Brother Xie Xianzhi, Shi Jianzhi, my benefactor, you have to help me this time. If you don't help me, I will It’s really over!”
Xie Yanzhi: "..."
Xu Chongguang was so confused that he stood outside the door without even entering, saying such nonsense.
If people listen to this, is it okay?
Master Bai on the side was quite discerning. He knew what kind of urine Xu Chongguang was. When he saw him quickly looking around, he hurriedly said: "Old Xu, let's go into the house to talk. If you don't go in like this, you can stay outside. Oh, people who don’t know think something happened, how can you make people think about Xie Xiandi?”
After Xu Chongguang experienced the disaster in Liuyun County, he and Master Bai became friends in adversity, and their trust in him was deeper than before.
If you ask him who the three most trusted people in the world are, he will definitely tell you that they are not his father and mother, nor his wife and son.
But Lao Bai was first, Xie Yanzhi was second, and Aunt Han was third.
At this time, when he heard Master Bai's words, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Lao Bai, you are right, let's go in and talk."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Yanzhi: "Brother Xie Xian, as a brother, I can't stay outside for too long. I can only say a few words in a hurry. I have to go to the government office later. Let's keep the story short!"
Xie Yanzhi was confused by what he said, but he still welcomed him into the living room.
Xu Chongguang said as he walked: "Brother Xie Xian, I'm really grateful for listening to you. Otherwise, if I don't say whether my head will be chopped off this time, I will definitely not be able to save the black gauze hat on my head. But I'm here today. Firstly, I want to thank you, and secondly, I just want you to give me an idea."
Xie Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and asked him: "I wonder what idea Brother Xu wants me to come up with?"
Xu Chongguang smiled at him sheepishly, and then said with flattery in his words: "Brother Xie Xian, you are smart, flexible and have the common people in the world at heart, so I want to ask you, is there any way to make me abort?" Yun County merges with Liufeng County upstream?"
"If we can put them together, then I don't have to think about rebuilding the city. I will just take the people to Liufeng County for resettlement."
Xie Yanzhi looked at him in surprise: "Brother Xu, why did you say this? Xie has no control over the merger of the two counties."
Xu Chongguang was a little anxious, "Hey, brother Xie Xian, I'm not asking you to make the decision. I'm just asking you if there is any way to do it. You see, the people of Liuyun County have suffered a lot now, and the county seat is also gone. ."
"As for Liufeng County, the transportation is convenient, and the people have been living in dire straits. There is no county magistrate now, so I am thinking, can I help take care of it? Brother Wei praised it in his letter back to my family. Haikou will definitely achieve another great political achievement."
Xie Yanzhi found it very funny when he heard this. Xu Chongguang was not very capable but quite ambitious.
Even a small county town can't understand it, but it actually wants to control two people at once.
But as long as he doesn't think about making money, it's not impossible if he can become a good official dedicated to serving the people.
Now he has Master Bai and Aunt Han by his side, and these two people are currently considered his people.
He listened to them again and thought that nothing would go wrong in the next few years.
Thinking like this, he said: "Brother Xu, looking at the history books, the merger of two counties into one county is not without trace. But you also know that I am just a scholar, and I really can't do these things. host."
"In my opinion, my lord, you have played a great role in this disaster. You can suggest it to Lord Wei. Of course, even Lord Wei cannot make the decision on this matter. You must write to the imperial court, and the imperial court will make the final decision."
When Master Bai heard this, he knew what it meant. He nodded immediately and said, "Old Xu, I think what brother Xie Xian said is reasonable. If the prefect asks you about building the city later, you can mention it."
"Of course, if Master Wei expresses his ambiguity that he wants to consider it, then you can write to my family. I believe that the Xu family and the third prince will want to see you in charge of such a large city. You are currently supporting the third prince, but It’s not the money-making tool it used to be.”
Xie Yanzhi said nothing, but nodded slightly.
Xu Chongguang tilted his head slightly and thought it made sense.
No matter how smart and flexible his brain is, Xie Xiandi is only a small scholar.
Even if he wins the imperial examination, even if he wins the first prize, it is nothing in a capital city filled with officials.
Although the number one scholar is rare, there is one every three years.
His ability is only useful in small places like writing scripts.
Not in the court!
With this in mind, he entered the living room of Xie's house, took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xie Yanzhi.
"Brother Xie Xian, you are about to take the provincial examination. Brother knows that you have great talents. You will definitely be on the gold medal list in the coming year. Whether you pass the examination or win the first prize, you are a person under my rule, brother. Your fame is For my political achievements, brother."
"Now I have nothing to give you. This jade pendant was given to me by the Third Prince after he learned of my meritorious service."
Xie Yanzhi didn't want to be involved in the fight for the heir at all. He waved his hands when he heard this: "Brother Xu, you're welcome. I can't take such a valuable thing."
Today, Master Bai admires Xie Yanzhi from the bottom of his heart. It can even be said that he worships him.
