Chapter 112 Complaint
The officials in the governor's yamen happened to be someone Chen Mu knew well. He didn't come out to convey to Chen Mu the news that the governor let him in, but to let him leave and go out of the city.

Not far from the city, another official from the Governor's Yamen waited outside the city for a long time, took him around half of the outer city, opened the gate of the city that had already been curfew, and entered the city through the side door of the Governor's Yamen.

"The old man didn't want you to enter the yamen. If you don't come, you can do everything in Xiangshan. But if you come, it will be difficult to do things in Xiangshan in the future, you know?"

Thinking out of thin air, the test is not human intelligence but imagination, but if you have a hint and then guess, it is the test of intelligence.

Governor Zhang Han's attitude was neither cold nor enthusiastic. He ordered some meals to be prepared, and he didn't ask about what happened in Xiangshan, but seemed to be chatting.

Chen Mu wanted to report the goods intercepted by Xiangshan, but he didn't know where to start.

"The old man has been a censor, and he was also a person on the road of speech. He knows the public opinion, and he also knows that there are truths and falsehoods in public opinion. Sometimes truth and falsehood are very important. Anyone who is serious about doing business will not be slandered."

Zhang Han was very old, and he spoke slowly, just like when Chen Mu first met him in this yamen, he seemed a little weak in temperament.

"But sometimes it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Being an official, what you do is not right or wrong. No one in the world is right. If someone thinks you are right, someone must think you are wrong. If everyone thinks what you do is wrong, even if you What was done was a good thing, and it also became a bad thing.”

Zhang Han is not the unsmiling old man like Wu Guifang. He loves to laugh, but his smile is deliberately insincere.This is probably an old problem of his birth and speech. Even if it is a real joke, it still makes people think that he has something to say.

Chen Mu nodded. He could understand this. In the first volume of Selected Works of Mao Zedong, the analysis of each class said that we must distinguish who is our friend and who is our enemy. However, most of the classes that feel good about policies are as small as countermeasures. Most of the vested interests of the class that can benefit from it and think it is bad will suffer from it.

Those people weren't necessarily all bad guys, but their choices stood up for them.

"The humble official knows that if you want to frighten the barbarians, you need to cut off food and force your troops. Forbid the smuggling of food and grass to starve your stomachs, and forbid the smuggling of nitrate to empty your soldiers." Chen Mu himself didn't know the words he used in this sentence. Right, anyway, as long as the governor can understand, he cupped his hands and said: "Those who are locked up, they will be released when they return to humble positions, so as not to embarrass the governor, but the food still has to be deducted, and the nitrate still has to be checked."

"You're right, you don't have to rush to show your loyalty." Zhang Han didn't smile this time, but was very serious, saying: "I used to work in the Ministry of War, supervising and managing water transportation affairs, and I have some experience. But when it comes to politics, I can't compare with Xiong The governor, let alone lead troops, to fight a war, I can't help you, and I won't make trouble for you subordinates."

"Man, you can't let go."

Zhang Han raised his hand slightly, but he was old-fashioned but had the aura of not being angry and arrogant, which was extremely rare for a scholar.

Most of the speeches of the Ming Dynasty were not good people, and most of them were guns for party struggles, referring to whoever beats whom.

But there are so many officials in the world, those who can stand out must be ruthless people with courage, who are ruthless to others, and they are not afraid of death.

"If I don't let this old man go, I can push it on you. If I let this old man go, no one can push me. You can't do anything in Xiangshan, and then I can't keep you. If you come today, this old man won't care about Xiangshan's affairs. Today you won't Come on, the old man won't bother about Xiangshan's affairs, but be quick, and don't let the truth be told."

Fall into reality?

Fanyi seduces women, and the barbarians who should be beaten are beaten up. They use this to garrison Haojingao. What excuse can this use?
"All the goods paid for the card will be sent to Guangzhou Mansion; the house in Yuegang City should be sold and not kept; the general banner that has been privately appointed and dismissed without meritorious service has been withdrawn, and the book of asking the water diver to block the sea outside Haojing is not mentioned to the capital. Chen Chaojue's name; letting Wang Rulong stay in the house by himself is good for you and good for him."

The Governor knows everything.

Chen Mu even felt that Zhang Han knew himself better than himself. It was normal for Zhang Han to know how much he had paid; it was normal for Zhang Han to ask Chen Lin’s subordinates to move the general to the anti-tiger jumping door; it was normal for Zhang Han to know it; It's normal.

He appointed Li Dan as the general banner, does Zhang Han know about this kind of thing?
He bought some fields and houses in his hometown Yuegang, can Zhang Han know about this kind of thing?
"There is nothing difficult in the world, and people's hearts are not strong. Cutting people's money is like killing their parents. You block other people's way, so how can there be fewer people staring at you?" Zhang Han looked at Chen Mu and smiled, shaking his head lightly. Hu, who has been on his way of speaking for so many years, seems immature like a boy.

Only a boy can satisfy him. If he is a subordinate who flatters his beard and thinks carefully, he will not have any intention of treating him personally.

Being a subordinate is not afraid of stupidity, stupidity, stupidity and cleverness are the last things to be happy about.

The only thing Zhang Han didn't like about Chen Mu was that he was alone.

I don't know how to ask for instructions, and I don't know how to follow the procedure.

This point is more important than anything else.

If it wasn't for him being young, the Xiangshan Institute would probably change to a thousand households.

"The old man knows a little about what you did in Xiangshan. If you become a flag soldier, you can do it freely. If you need support from the state government, just ask."

Since Zhang Han had asked him to hand it over to the state government, Chen Mu had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "The guards don't have enough gunpowder, please ask the governor to send some nitrate, and then ask the governor to agree." , although Xiangshan has warships but no harbor, it is difficult to repair, and it is even more difficult to deter the Fanyi."

Chen Mu now understands why there were so many great generals in ancient times who did things to support their own self-respect. Even if they really wanted to do something, without enemies, it would be meaningless for the court to prepare troops.

Fan Yi in Haojingao has set a good target.

"Beizhi wants to build a water fortress in Xiangshan to repair warships in the future."

Zhang Han thought it was reasonable, and waved his hand and said: "It should be so, you can go back and do it, but the state government does not have any timber, and you have a surplus army, so it is not easy to send corvee, the old man will transfer some carpenters and shipwrights to you." , the rest is up to you.”

Chen Mu was overjoyed, clasped his fists and saluted.

"When the old man became the censor, the governor of the capital was Mr. Jun Chuan. When he took office, he went to see him. He didn't talk about the truth, but just talked about an incident he encountered."

Mr. Junchuan is Wang Tingxiang, an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was a man in the Jiajing period.

"It was said that one day when he entered the city in a sedan chair and it was raining, the bearer who carried the sedan chair wore new shoes. From the ash factory to Chang'an Avenue, the bearer chose a place to go because he was worried that the new shoes would be dirty. After entering the city, there was more and more mud , the bearer accidentally stepped into the muddy water and soiled one shoe. In order to prevent the other shoe from being dirty, the bearer still chose a place to go, and then accidentally stained this shoe. It's 'never the past'."

"It's the same with the way of living in the body. If you make a mistake, you will go anywhere!"

Zhang Han showed nostalgia, and sighed after a while: "Mr. has passed away for more than [-] years, but I dare not forget this sentence for the rest of my life. I will tell you this sentence today. You should keep it in your heart and don't forget it."
