The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 455 Origin and Position

After Wang Shouren left, Xu Tan's face immediately turned down.

"Master, the little one you want to investigate has already sent someone to investigate. This county magistrate Wang is indeed from the Wang family of Shangtang, but it is just a different branch. The family has been separated since his father Wang Hua."

"kindness."

Xu Tan nodded lightly, took a sip of tea and said, "Shangtang Wang, yes, yes."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Go get a pen and paper, sir, I want to write a letter."

The servant immediately brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone respectfully, sharpened it for Xu Tan, and waited for him to write letters.

Xu Tan picked up a pen and lightly dipped it in the ink, and wrote on the brand new letter paper.

"Brother Yi Lian, believe me if you see me."

It took about a cup of tea for Xu Tan to finish writing the letter.

He picked up the letter paper and scanned it through, confirming that it was what he wanted to express, then he sealed the envelope and handed it to the servant.

"Go to Yuyao immediately and hand over the letter to the head of the Shangtang Wang Family. There must be no accidents."

"As ordered."

The servant put away the letter and respectfully accepted his orders.

"Go down."

Xu Tan waved his hand, showing a little tired face.

It seems that Wang Shouren is really the descendant of the Shangtang Wang family.This way he can rest assured.

Xu Tan's first wife is the eldest daughter of the previous head of the Shangtang Wang family, who is also the current head of the family, Wang Ting, and Wang Yilian's biological sister.

As long as he brings the words to brother Yi Lian, the Wang family will definitely make a statement.

Although Wang Hua's family has been separated, the two strokes cannot write a Wang character.They have always had the same blood flowing through their bodies, and they are connected with each other.

With this scruple, Wang Shouren would be more polite to the Xu family.Even if he wasn't afraid, Wang Hua would be afraid that someone would poke his spine and scold him for forgetting his roots.

The clan cannot be circumvented at all, even if the family has been separated, its influence cannot be underestimated.

If it was really a matter of business, Xu Tan was really worried that Wang Shouren, a stupid kid, would do something out of the ordinary.Still have to rely on his wife and brother to give him a good beating.

This abandoned house has now opened a weaving factory again, which is full of people's voices.Naturally, Xu Tan didn't intend to rest here, so he returned to his new house in a sedan chair.

After leaving Xu's weaving factory, Wang Shouren returned to the county government.

Seeing the old man returning to the yamen, all the yamen servants came out to welcome him.

Zhang De Zhang's team leader bowed his waist and said flatteringly: "What kind of food does the elder want to eat today, the younger ones go and buy it for the elder."

Wang Shouren frowned and said, "Just eat what the yamen cook cooks, don't worry about it."

Zhang De put a cold butt on his face, smiled very embarrassedly, and didn't dare to mention this matter again.

After returning to Yamen, Wang Shouren took off his official robe and changed into a soft casual robe, then sat at the desk and sipped tea.

The concubine Shui Luo who came to Songjiang Mansion with him came over, and while beating Wang Shouren's back, said softly: "Master is in a good mood today."

Wang Shouren nodded slightly and said, "Today the Xu Family Weaving Factory opened, and I, my lord, pushed another practical matter."

Shui Luo smiled and said: "Master is just like Fan Xianggong, he worries about the world's worries first, and enjoys the world's joys later."

Wang Shouren coughed and said, "Scholars of my generation, the reason why we study hard is to benefit the common people? Now that we have this opportunity, how can we be perfunctory?"

"This new deal is really as effective as the master said? Could it be that the people of the Ming Dynasty could not live without this new deal?"

Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "The prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering. If you want to say that you can live even in times of war. But at that time, do you think the people lived in a human way? The wives and children are separated, and the sons are eating now. Although it is not as miserable as it was during the war, the lives of the people are also very hard. If the New Deal is not implemented and everything goes on as usual, then if God rewards the face, the people can barely eat a meal. If there is a disaster year, they will not even be able to eat gone."

In Xie Shen's words, what the new policy reforms is not the skin, but the bones of the Ming Dynasty.

Only by changing the muscles and bones of the Ming Dynasty, a series of things will change accordingly, and the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty can rise.

Although Wang Shouren felt that Xie Shen's words were a bit mysterious, it might not be unreasonable to take a closer look.

In fact, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were unwilling to let the Ming Dynasty move their muscles and bones, so they called it "following the ancestral system".In fact, they are afraid of moving their own interests.

After all, they are the biggest beneficiaries of Daming's existing system.

Even Wang Shouren benefited a lot from it.If it weren't for his father who was a court official, he wouldn't have received such a good and high-quality education since he was a child.

It is difficult to say that this system is wrong, but there are indeed imperfect and unreasonable places.

Xie Shen's New Deal is to correct these imperfect and unreasonable places.

Sometimes in the dead of night, Wang Shouren would ask himself why he couldn't think of Xie Shen's theory.

It wasn't until he came to Songjiang and came into contact with these gentry that he suddenly realized.

The reason why he didn't make Xie Shen's decision was because he was raised as a person with vested interests since he was a child.

Everything follows the rules and follows the established pattern.He doesn't need to think about whether this model is reasonable or not, and whether it is good for the common people.

But Xie Shen is different.

Xie Shen was born in a poor family. He has been exposed to the hard work of ordinary people since he was a child, and he understands what ordinary people need better than him.

Therefore, Xie Shen was able to put himself in the situation and put forward a new policy that was in line with the interests of the people, but he, Wang Shouren, could not.

However, Wang Shouren is also working hard to adapt himself to the role Xie Shen arranged for him, trying to forget his original identity as much as possible.

"Master, can this new policy change this situation?"

Shui Luo asked suspiciously.

"I do not know either."

Wang Shouren sighed softly: "But doing is better than doing nothing. If you do something, at least try hard. If you don't do anything, you are waiting for death."

Wang Shouren clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "What I hate the most are those people who sit on the table as a vegetarian. What's the use of such an official if he doesn't care about anything for his own benefit."

"If everyone is like the master, the people will be saved."

Shui Luo paused and said: "But no matter how busy you are, you can't be exhausted. The master should rest more, and leave the following things to the officials."

"En." Wang Shouren smiled slightly and said, "With you serving by my side, I don't have to worry about this. By the way, I'm tired, so go prepare a bucket of hot water. I'll serve you later. Take a bath."

Shui Luo blushed and nodded slightly.

Seeing the concubine's shy look, Wang Shouren only found it funny.

"What's there to be shy about, don't you want to take a bath with my master?"

Shui Luo quickly shook her head and said, "No, no"

Wang Shouren stopped teasing her, waved his hands and said, "Go get ready first, master, I want to be alone for a while."

Shui Luo saluted Wang Shouren, then bowed and retreated.

"Siming, I just hope that I don't fail your trust this time!"
