There are some things he is willing to say to these people, but there are some things he cannot say.
It’s not that I don’t dare to say it, but if one more person understands it, the weight of what he knows will be reduced.
Things in the court should never be looked at individually, but should be looked at together and carefully.
River governance, the Yellow River and the Huaihe River.
Why did the Yellow River and Huaihe River burst? It was because of the North-South Grand Canal.
The imperial court spends an astronomical amount of money to maintain the Grand Canal every year. The suffering of the people in Huaibei is also inseparable from the Grand Canal.
This canal has made the people miserable, but it has also fattened how many people?
In the next few years, the canals and the Yellow and Huaihe rivers will need to be overhauled. Where will the court get the money? This is not something that can be done with a few million at once, but several millions in a row over many years.
"Please... please make it clearer. The more I listen, the more confused I am!" Hou Tai, a foreign official, said, "Why do you think it's so mysterious?"
"Think about it for yourself!" Li Zhigang glanced at him, then at everyone, and lowered his voice again, "However, for you, this is an excellent opportunity!"
These words immediately made everyone's hearts tighten and their eyes heat up.
"That's how things are in the world. If you want to do something, you have to offend others!" Li Zhigang lowered his voice and said softly, "River management is a fat job, but it is also hard work. The things behind river management are not something ordinary people dare to do!"
"So the emperor sent Xin Lengzi?" someone exclaimed.
"Can he get everything done by himself?" Li Zhigang sneered, "He needs helpers. The emperor needs officials who can contribute, can do things, and are not afraid of offending others!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and their hearts were agitated.
"Everyone, I'm here!" Li Zhigang said with a smile, "Does the fifth-rank official of the capital sound like that? But to be honest, the fifth-rank official of the capital is just a frustrated little daughter-in-law with too many mother-in-laws on her head! Isn't it thankless?
It is said that if you have merit, you will not be rewarded, but if you have faults, you will be the first!"
"This official uniform can intimidate the common people, even the slaves of high-ranking families can't compare! But it's different when it comes to places. For example, Fengyang Huai'an Second Mansion, which is a major government under Zhili.
When we get there, among thousands of people, who dares to show off?"
"It is difficult, but it is the easiest to achieve political achievements, and the emperor will personally watch it in the next few years, and everything you do will be visible to the emperor."
"If you have the courage to do your job, and have worked hard in the local area for a few years, as long as you catch the emperor's eye, after being transferred back to the capital, won't the minister of the first department be able to control you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes glowed with gold.
The reason why these people do whatever it takes to be an official is because they have no foundation and have no other choice but to do things. This is the only way for them to climb up. What are they afraid of offending others? What are they afraid of working hard? Compared with the benefits.
When you get up, nothing matters.
"But..." Zhang Yong said in a deep voice, "That's what you said, we also have the heart to share the worries of your father. But... You also said, sir, who are we, the fifth-grade humble officials?
Recognize us!"
"Hi!" Li Zhigang smiled and nodded, "Yes! That's right!" After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank slowly.
This action fell into the eyes of everyone, and the meaning was already very obvious.
After the Sinji Edict, the officialdom in Huaibei will inevitably be shaken, and there will be a lot of vacancies. Moreover, they all have real power, and they need people, people, money, power, and power, and there will be fat vacancies that are in charge of their own affairs.
You are all incompetent, and you need someone to support you when you go out. So where are the people who can support you?
Far away and right in front of us, not to mention that the Lord Minister is currently in the limelight, but based on his interpersonal relationships, he can still talk to a few people if he wants to recommend them.
But there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. If you want to take something, you must give it first. Whether the Minister can help depends on whether these people can behave and do things!
Man, Li Zhigang did his best.
The official was thoroughly fucked by Li Zhigang.
Everything was done by Li Zhigang.
But as the saying goes, there are people outside the world. Li Zhigang's self-proclaimed shrewdness is just a little clever compared to others.

"Quick! Quick!"
The rain came down hard, falling on people like rocks.
Li Jinglong braved the rain and just entered the room. He didn't even change his clothes and shouted to his wife, Deng, "Hurry!"
"What hurry?" Mrs. Deng was embroidering boredly and put down the needle and thread in her hand, "What are you doing so hot-tempered?"
Li Jinglong said nothing, picked up the tea bowl and drank heavily.
Then he said, "Land deed, the land deed of my hometown in Sizhou!"
"What do you want those for?" Deng was even more puzzled, "What happened!"
"Find it!" Li Jinglong casually pulled off his wet clothes and said, "Even the land deeds and the identity deeds of the tenants, find them and hand them over!"
"to whom?"
"Court!"
"That's our family's Hountian, who paid for it with his life two generations ago!" Deng asked anxiously, "Why are you so crazy?"
"Sizhou is flooded!" Li Jinglong sat down and sighed.
Mrs. Deng stepped forward and said, "What are you afraid of if it floods? The ground can't be washed away. You can continue planting after the water recedes!" Then she added, "Those are good lands! Just a paddy field with just one water!"
Li Jinglong glanced sideways at his wife, "Sizhou was flooded, it was all over, and there was a sea of dead people. After the disaster, the people were resettled to ensure their livelihood, and civilians were recruited to regulate the river. At this time, our family is still holding on to the
With so much land and so many people, do you think it’s appropriate to ask for rent from others?”
Madam Deng clenched her handkerchief tightly, "But, it doesn't make sense..."
"It's merit to hand it over now!" Li Jinglong said sternly, "The emperor will not treat us badly. If we suffer a small loss now, we will take advantage of it in the future. If you still hold it in your hand, pretend you didn't see it... In the future, we will suffer a lot.
!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Go and tell your son, and the land in his name will also be handed over!"
"Forget the little land we have...?"
"You can do it if I ask you to do it. How can there be so much nonsense?" Li Jinglong said angrily, "If you have long hair and short knowledge, will our family do it if others do it? If you put so many families together, how much land is that? Ten thousand acres of land is enough
How about 100,000 acres that can accommodate 2,000 households affected by the disaster?"
"This is not a question of how much, this is awareness. Do you understand awareness? This is to worry about others' difficulties, this is to share the country's worries, this is to set an example, this is to set an example..."
"Okay, okay, hello!" Mrs. Deng quickly interrupted Li Jinglong, "You are grinning like a badger, you want to eat people!" As he said that, he suddenly remembered something and whispered, "My natal family is in Si.
The state also has a lot of good land. Should we hand it over?"
Her father, Deng Yu, the former king of Ninghe, was a native of Sizhou. He had been a strong man in the area when he defected to the old man. He organized group training to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, where officials, soldiers, soldiers, and bandits resisted donations and taxes.
Deng Yugui was the sixth Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and his hometown in Sizhou was his base. He had a lot of land under his name, only a lot more than his Li Jinglong family.
"Deng Ping has thought of it a long time ago, so you don't need to worry about it!" Li Jinglong rolled his eyes at him, and then sighed, "It's a pity, I should have gotten it myself years ago..."
"Virtue!" Mrs. Deng pushed Li Jinglong, and then said with some worry, "My mother's family has been relying on the income from the fields in Sizhou these years. How will we live if there is no income in the future?"
"I can't be poor!" Li Jinglong grinned, "The Deng family has connections in Sizhou. In the year of great disaster, the people with connections are the ones who stand out!" He said, waving his hands, "Go quickly and find all the people who deeded me the land.
, and prepare some food for me, so that I can go to the palace after eating!"
"You might as well just live in the palace!" Deng gave him a white look.
"Hehe!" Li Jinglong smirked, "Entering the palace? Are you willing to give up this silver spear?"
"roll!"
~~
Hua la la, the heavy rain flowed down like a waterfall.
In the dark cell, through the narrow small window, large amounts of rainwater kept falling in.
The thatch on the ground was already wet, but Xin Yande stood under the window and did not move at all.
He quietly looked at the small window, looking at the heavy rain outside, his face seemed to be petrified, but his eyes were full of misery.
Then he picked up a thatch stick, dipped it in some water, and started writing on the wall.
"Farmers hope for rain to moisten the spring seedlings, but they don't want God to act like a monster. The pouring water will fall from the sky for nine days, and the world will be filled with howls of misery!"
After writing, throw away the stick.
Xin Yande looked at it, wiped it violently with his sleeves, and cursed, "I'm not born to be a poet, so what's the point of writing random poems? A heartless bastard, you a heartless bastard... And you still have the leisure and elegance to write limericks,
Your conscience has been eaten..."
Crash, the chains outside are ringing.
Xin Yande turned his head and looked at the iron door of the cell, "Who?"
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Deng Ping entered first. Behind him, a man wearing a cloak came in slowly.
"Your Majesty..." In an instant, Xin Yande burst into tears and knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the people of Sizhou are suffering!"
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

content.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
