While thinking about it, Pan You couldn't help but look at Li Shouyuan with cold eyes. However, Li Shouyuan still looked calm and calm, without any fear.
The atmosphere in the government hall gradually became tense. The first head-to-head confrontation between the envoys and the deputy envoys was so fierce that all the subordinate officials felt the tension of the situation and lowered their heads again, not daring to show any expressions of gloating, lest they cause harm to Chi Yu.
After Pan You pondered for a while, he suddenly smiled. Under Li Shouyuan's surprised gaze, he said in a relaxed tone: "I don't listen to what others say. As long as what you say is reasonable and meaningful, it is not unacceptable.
Deputy Envoy Li said so much in the hall today, and he had many objections to my envoy's governance, but it is really meaningless to just stop at blaming the envoy!
Today, while all my colleagues are here, I would like to ask Deputy Ambassador Li to share your views. In your opinion, what strategies should be adopted to promote the reform and complete the important task of tax reform assigned by the imperial court?
If the envoy's measures are not advisable, then ask Deputy Envoy Li to come up with a new set of methods and new measures for discussion among the officials. If it is feasible, then it is not impossible to try? "
Seeing Pan You say such words calmly, Li Shouyuan couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself that although Pan You acted carefully, he was not reckless and just hit hard. This time, the ball was kicked back to Li Shouyuan again, and it hit the target. Li Shouyuan really asked Li Shouyuan to come up with a new set of measures. It was not that he couldn't come up with it, but he didn't dare to guarantee it in order to complete the tasks assigned by the court. What's more, the goal of Li Shouyuan's attack in court was not to accomplish anything.
Facing Pan You's scrutinizing gaze, Li Shouyuan pondered briefly and responded: "In short, you should not act recklessly in politics!"
"Not bad!" Pan You nodded, then made a serious look and said: "Then please ask Deputy Ambassador Li to come up with a moderate policy approach. The lobby of this office is open and aboveboard, and you can speak freely. , so that there will be no obstruction.
The envoy can't wait to hear Deputy Envoy Li's insights. Please tell me quickly, I will definitely listen attentively."
At this time, Li Shouyuan fell silent, frowning and looking slightly embarrassed. He was about to speak, but Pan You saw the opportunity and interrupted him. His expression and tone were cold, he stared straight at Li Shouyuan and said:
"If we cannot come up with a set of practical and effective new policy measures, then I have to doubt the motives of Deputy Ambassador Li in criticizing my administration today!
The words spoken in the hall today are nonsense and nonsense. The so-called speaking out impartially is useless in my opinion. How is it any different from bullshit? "
Pan You's words were both heartbreaking and a naked slap in Li Shouyuan's face. As for Li Shouyuan, who has always been well-educated, how could he endure such humiliation? Of course, he might also have the idea of changing the topic to relieve his own embarrassment.
Therefore, Li Shouyuan's eyes widened with anger. He stood up and pointed at Pan You, saying angrily: "Pan Shijun, you are a scholar. Why would you say such vulgar words in the lobby and during the discussion of politics? It is unofficial and disrespectful to use such harsh words to humiliate colleagues. Bar!"
"Haha!" Seeing Li Shouyuan's irritated look, Pan You sneered twice and said calmly: "I am now dealing with general affairs, dealing with common affairs, and saying a few vulgar words every day. What's wrong with that? Like Deputy Ambassador Li is doing this If his words are refined and gentle, if it helps to promote reforms and relieve the worries of the officials and the people, then I am willing to be a gentleman and write moral articles all day long."
The sarcasm on Pan Youchou's face was completely undisguised, while Li Shouyuan's elegant face was flushed with anger, and the resentment in his eyes almost turned into substance. Pan You acted like a "rogue", and he couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while. Of course, what was extremely shameful and angry was that in front of so many Gyeonggi Province bureaucrats, he, Deputy Ambassador Li, had a great loss of face.
Seeing that he was impatient, Pan You became calmer, glanced around, and said calmly: "His Majesty has said more than once that it is not necessary to talk eloquently. To govern the people, one must be down-to-earth and need people with practical skills.
If Deputy Ambassador Li can't come up with his own measures for the moment, then he should go home and think about it. When he has thought about it, he can come back to see me. The door of my house is open to you and I am always here to listen. Before that, don't come out to confuse people's hearts and influence the envoy's governance! "
"Quit!" After saying this, Pan You walked away, leaving behind a group of Gyeonggi Province bureaucrats with different expressions. Among them, the most embarrassing one is undoubtedly Li Shouyuan, the deputy chief minister, whose face was stepped on and rubbed by Pan You.
A meeting ended in an anticlimactic manner. Li Shouyuan interrupted Pan You's rhythm after some quarrels. After this incident, he wanted to proceed with the work according to his previous plan, but he might not be satisfied. After Li Shouyuan, I still don't know. What action awaits him.
At the same time, Pan You also realized that if this reform work was to be completed successfully, struggle was unavoidable, and it had to start with personnel. In the past few months since he took office, he has made a lot of adjustments and established his authority, but obviously he has not done enough. What happened in the hall today made him deeply feel the targeting and resistance hidden in the Gyeonggi Province government.
In the back hall of the Si Yamen, Pan You sat upright on the official case, holding a document in his hand and reading it slowly, but his attention was obviously not on it. Yi Yi's face was gloomy, almost dripping with water, and his brows could not hide his sadness. Obviously, although Li Shouyuan was forced to suppress it, his heart was not as relaxed as it seemed.
As a reform leader, he is under tremendous pressure from all aspects, especially in a core area like Gyeonggi Province where there is a mixture of good and bad, and many right and wrong. We must not only face the pressure of political tasks from above, but also ensure that there are no troubles under management. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the superiors and subordinates. One careless step may lead to the loss of reputation.
He was worried and thinking, but there was no sign of weakness on Pan You's face, and the many obstacles did not make him flinch. Instead, he was thinking about how to do things well and complete the task.
"Envoy!" While thinking, a dignified staff member came in, saluted, and said softly: "Deputy Envoy Li's behavior in the hall today is really unusual. You need to be more vigilant!"
Hearing this, Pan You raised his head, his facial expression instantly calmed down, his negative emotions dissipated, he glanced at his staff and chuckled: "How could I ever let down my guard?"
With that said, Pan You said coldly: "What happened today will only strengthen my opinion! Some people can't sit still. This just shows that our measures are effective and have touched their sensitive areas. Li Shouyuan It was obvious that he could no longer hold back after having been in vain for so long.
It's a pity that he is a bit cunning. However, he is still smart after all. With His Majesty's wisdom and Prime Minister Zhao's clear understanding, how could he be deceived by his clever words and words.
Reform is the general trend and the tide is huge. How can these people do nothing to stop it? If they want to use their hands to control the chariot, they will only bring disaster upon themselves."
Seeing that the benefactor was so confident, as a staff member, he naturally became more confident. After thinking about it, he still couldn't help but said: "What the envoy said is reasonable. It's just about how to act next. Although the states and counties are forced by the envoy's authority and have to implement the new policy, they are unwilling and dissatisfied. Zeng, my subordinates are worried that something will go wrong sooner or later!"
"There is already a problem!" Pan You frowned when he heard this and said: "Although Li Shouyuan criticized the envoy's government today, what he said is not completely unreasonable. At least, as he said, using force to force others, Even if the prefectures and counties below complete their assigned tasks, they may not be accurate. The land registers submitted to the Yamen may not be accurate!"
"Since your Majesty understands, why?"
Pan You said calmly: "If we don't force them, I'm afraid we won't even be able to see these books. Since your Majesty issued the edict on the new tax reform system, from planning to customization, from promulgation to implementation, it has taken more than half a year, but it has never been able to Isn't the progress due to lack of motivation? Pan is self-aware. His Majesty and Prime Minister Zhao put the envoy here, and this is the intention! As Li Shouyuan said, the autumn harvest is busy and there is a shortage of manpower. It is difficult here, there is a difficulty, tax reform It’s especially difficult. If we follow the considerations of these people, then this tax reform will not be possible.”
"As for what's next!" Pan You thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps it's time to slow down a bit and not push them too hard! However, this slowness is not about slowness or indolence, nor is it about retreating and compromising. Slow down the internal tension and continue to push forward. Those registers must be carefully checked by the Si Yamen, and the provisions and measures must be re-formulated. Before this winter, and next spring at the latest, the land under the jurisdiction of the capital must be cleared and completed!"
"Yes!" the staff responded: "I wonder where it is in Zhengzhou?"
"Li Hang." Pan You lowered his head slightly and murmured in a cold tone.
Seeing this, the staff couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty, this Li Zhizhou has been appointed by the Prince's Palace to implement the new system in Zhengzhou!"
Pan You frowned slightly, and said with a serious face: "Send a message asking Li Hang to come to Yingchang. I would like to hear his explanation!"
