Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 535 Pride and Prejudice!
The time has come to the Lantern Festival inadvertently. Of course, it is also called the Lantern Festival at this time.

With the arrival of the festive season, coupled with the evidence Chen Jiading secretly provided to Shao Ziheng, the once mighty Li family in Guangzhou fell.

Li Shuhong was arrested as the man behind the planting of hibiscus in Dongguan County. The related interrogation is in full swing, and it is expected that more useful clues will be dug up soon.

The chief officers of the office company and financial department also changed new people, all of whom were recommended and trusted by Jiang Zhengxun.

After capturing the office, the first thing Chen Jinghe did in public opinion was to disclose the case of the Pearl Harbor case.

This is also the first public event in history.

"The reason for announcing the progress of the case is to inform the people, the imperial court will never let a bad person go, and will never wrong a good person.

At the same time, it can also play a soothing role in the people of Dongguan County. "

Chen Jinghe used this trick very beautifully. The people of Dongguan County gathered in Guangzhou to force Li Yanzong to death. The purpose was to exonerate himself.

In the end, it is still the case that the law does not blame the public, but it is not an example.

However, it was not completely revealed. The imperial court imposed a fine on the [-] households in Dongguan who participated in planting hibiscus flowers, which can also be called atonement silver.

Ten thousand per household.

Ten thousand is not worth mentioning to the people who used to participate in planting hibiscus flowers. In the past ten years, they have earned much more than this.

The imperial court has given enough face, which can be regarded as a kindness. How can the common people accept it if they don't see it?

So in a very short period of time, all the fines were paid in full, a total of 4000 million yuan, not bad.

With this firefighting money, the Guangzhou government has made it easier for the unemployed Hong Kong workers. In addition to food and lodging, they also made a new suit for each of them.

It's going to be cold in spring soon, so be careful to catch a cold.

Although they are all small favors, but if the imperial court has achieved this step, what can the hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers have to complain about?

In terms of public opinion, mainstream reports that praised the imperial court began to gain the upper hand.

"People are living individuals. What they want is survival and life. It's not that they don't understand the truth, but the truth and the feelings of family and country are too far away from them.

The burden of survival and family has already weighed them down, so what the court should really think about is how to keep the people alive, instead of thinking about how to educate them every day. "

"In the past, we said that governing the country is mainly about educating the people, regardless of whether it is the legalist art of controlling the people or the Confucian ritual restraint and moral checks and balances, they will gradually become obsolete.

The times are moving forward. It can be said that there are very few people in Guangzhou who are illiterate.

We can't just rely on deception and so-called education to manage the people, the court must come up with real things.

What is real, money is the most real! "

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Chen Jinghe held an office meeting at the chief envoy and gave instructions on how to solve the Guangzhou problem.

"Don't think that this official is vulgar, because this official is a parent official in Guangdong, what is a parent?

Parents are the head of the family, and home is rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, which is vulgar.

Only when our parents become more official, can the common people become refined.

But if we are elegant every day, the common people will not even be able to realize the vulgarity, because they will starve to death or freeze to death! "

It was a great festival, and Chen Jinghe used it for a full day of meetings. He didn't leave the yamen until it was dark and went home for a meal.

The situation was showing signs of improvement, and Chen Jinghe also relaxed rarely. That night, he dragged Yu Qian to drink two glasses of wine happily.

As a result, what no one expected, Chen Jinghe, who had not arrived at the yamen early in the morning, heard the news that the workers were rioting again.

"what happened?"

Chen Jinghe's face was ugly.

But the officials in the yamen didn't know what was going on until a company official put a newspaper in front of Chen Jinghe.

This is the Guangzhou Daily that was just published this morning.

Chen Jinghe looked down sullenly, and finally found the reason.

This article published in the Guangzhou Daily is mainly what Chen Jinghe said in a meeting yesterday. Generally speaking, it must be quite a plus, and there is no problem with being compassionate to the people.

The problem lies in the superfluous sentence at the end.

It may be that the officials of the news department attached such a credit statement in order to flatter Chen Jing and the prince.

"It coincides with the Shangyuan Festival, and Fantai is worried about the workers in the port area, so he gave up the rare holiday, so that he missed this rare opportunity for family reunion to spend the festive season together..."

The summary is, for you workers, on such a good day, our prince couldn't go home to spend the holiday with his family.

The sacrifice is huge!

You just have no food, no job, no money to support your family.

But what the prince lost was the Lantern Festival with his family once a year!
The crown prince can do this, you ordinary people must remember it in your heart, be grateful, and don't always add chaos to the court.

Chen Jinghe's face became even more ugly.

"Which bastard wrote this article, and which bastard reviewed it!"

"He should be pulled out and beheaded!"

"It's not enough to succeed, it's more than failure, Lizi, don't conspire with me!"

Holding the newspaper, the furious Chen Jinghe broke into the press office, cursing in front of everyone.

"Does this officer need you to take credit for me?"

"You are not asking for credit, you are adding to the chaos, you are making fire!"

"What a bunch of idiots!"

Seeing Chen Jinghe being so angry, Jiang Zhengxun was too scared, but he still bit the bullet and tried to persuade him.

"Fantai calm down, although this article is flawed, but your compassion for the people is indeed..."

"Exactly what?"

Chen Jing got angry, turned to look at Jiang Zhengxun, and reprimanded: "Do you think the common people should be grateful and understand the court and me?"

"How could they understand, how should they understand, why should they understand!"

"Brother Zhengxun, because of the closure of Hong Kong, the workers outside have not started work for two months. The prices in Guangzhou City are so high. How difficult is their life and how difficult their families are."

"I just said yesterday, people, their needs are very simple, to support their families and make a living!"

"The imperial court can't even let them support their families. This in itself is our dereliction of duty."

"In this case, they did not block the chief envoy's office, and they were already obeying the management of the court."

"You let a group of people who can't even support their families understand me as a chief minister of Guangdong? Understand my regret or grievance that I was absent to spend the Lantern Festival with my wife and children?"

"And the most outrageous thing is that this nonsense article also asks the people to be grateful?"

"How do you make them feel?"

After the reprimand, Chen Jinghe took a breath, took the newspaper and pointed at the trembling members of the press office in front of him.

"All of you are educated scholars, otherwise you would not be admitted to the Guangdong Chief Political Commissioner or the Press Office.

But re-examine this article for yourselves.

Full of lofty arrogance and domineering contempt. "

"When the king was in Henan, he mentioned that the biggest problem left over from thousands of years of dynastic history is not that we officials don't know how to govern, but that we know but don't bother to do it."

"From the bottom of our hearts, we despise the people."

"Mencius said that the people are the most precious, followed by the community."

"Zhuge Liang said: Do your best and die after death."

"Fan Zhongyan said: Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later."

"What do the words left by these three ancients mean?"

"Let me tell you, the summary is three points:

The code of conduct for officials.

The code of conduct for officials.

An official's code of ethics.

I don't ask you to achieve the third point, and I will never ask every official to worry about the world's worries, because I myself can't be so noble.

But at least you should take the first two points as your duty.

But the arrogance and prejudice in your bones dooms you to not being able to do the first point, and you go everywhere to claim credit for just doing something that should be done, dooming you to not being able to do the second point!
Behavior, integrity, and morality are not up to standard, what kind of officials are you still doing! "

"As long as someone with a heart stirs up the flames, if the workers don't make trouble, don't scold me as the chief envoy, and don't scold the court, then there is something wrong with it!"

After leaving this sentence, Chen Jinghe shook his sleeves and left, leaving behind a group of trembling officials in cold sweat.

No one thought of it.

He wanted to flatter Chen Jinghe and give money to him, but this turned out to be the case.

Don't tell me, once this article comes out, if you don't say anything else, those civil servants who wrote the article and boasted of their talents will all become a joke.

Those who can write this kind of article are really either bad or simply stupid!

Incurably stupid.

Stupid enough to waste all the hard work of Chen Jinghe and the chief envoy of Guangdong, Si Yamen, over the past few days.

No wonder Chen Jinghe scolded that sentence.

Lizi, insufficiency and conspiracy!
