Chapter 545: Strong Character(1/2)
Not to mention just an ordinary wanderer in the market, how many of those so-called scholars who have read the books of sages have such a realization?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood why his brother wanted to invite these people in person.
Even if he were the emperor, if he knew that these people could do this, he would definitely invite them to come out personally regardless of his status.
For a civil servant, ability is certainly very important, but character is equally important.
After all, sometimes mediocre abilities will not lead to disastrous consequences.
But those officials with more selfish motives may turn what has always been a good government order into one that hurts the people.
And only he, Lao Zhu, will take the blame for this.
But even if the ability is not good, as long as you can strictly follow Lao Zhu's political orders, you will not harm ordinary people after all.
Moreover, many of the things Zhu Han did have been proven.
Those officials who crossed the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and passed the imperial examination were selected.
In fact, they may not be much better than ordinary people.
The reason why they can read and write is that they are knowledgeable.
It's not entirely because of how talented they are.
The more reason is simply that they have the opportunity to read and write.
If ordinary people in the world could read and write, there would definitely be many more bodies to choose from than traditional scholars.
For example, in the eyes of many people, the Gao Fei in front of him is simply a rogue who does not do his job properly.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang would not think highly of him without understanding his true temperament and character.
After all, even when he was down and out, when he joined the rebel army, there was absolutely no one of Gao Fei's level among his old brothers.
But this in-depth understanding gave Zhu Yuanzhang a completely new understanding of people like Gao Fei.
With Gao Fei's dedicated and responsible approach, and his attitude of keeping the people at heart in everything.
As long as this guy won't be corrupted by power in the future, he really has the qualifications to become a famous minister.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still sighed secretly in his heart. Many people who were upright and upright when they were poor would basically be corrupted by power after gaining power.
Although Gao Fei is now an official, he does not have much power after all.
What will happen in the future, no one can tell.
At least among the people Zhu Yuanzhang had met, there were only a handful of people who could still stick to their duties even after being in high and powerful positions.
"Old Chang, what are you thinking about?" Gao Fei's words interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
Lao Zhu was not angry and gave Gao Fei a roll of his eyes, laughing and scolding: "I gave you food, but I made a mistake."
Gao Fei was stunned when he heard this, with a damn expression on his face: "Old Chang, I see you are also a scholar, how can you still say such vulgar language?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he laughed: "How come you can say it, but we can't say it?"
"Yes, yes, you can say whatever you want."
"Ah, it's just that you see I'm still busy. I've finished the meal, so you should go back and rest first."
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Zhu Yuanzhang replied firmly.
Gao Fei really said angrily: "I care about whether you are tired or not. Hurry back and settle the accounts with me. If you don't clear up the accounts, I will have to be punished next time. Do you know?"
"Please don't worry, sir." Zhu Yuanzhang said with great disdain: "We have already finished handling those accounts. Compared with when we were doing business before, the accounts we did were simply child's play and easy to handle."
Gao Fei blinked, with a look of disbelief on his face: "It's really over."
Nodding calmly: "Of course it's over, it's only a matter of a few thousand taels of silver."
"Tch!" Gao Fei did not believe Zhu Yuanzhang's statement at all.
He hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders sincerely and said: "Old Chang, I know that you business people always like to boast."
"But now it's different from when you were doing business. The origin and whereabouts of every sum of money we make must be clearly accounted for, and there must be no deviation at all."
"I'm not kidding you." As he spoke, Gao Fei's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "If it's just something wrong, it's nothing. If it affects the people, we will be sinners through the ages.
Already."
This is the first time Lao Zhu has seen such a serious side of Gao Fei.
I originally thought that this guy was a person with an out-of-touch personality, but I didn't expect that he was quite calm when he was doing business.
"Sir, please rest assured, we have settled accounts all our lives and have never made any mistakes." Zhu Yuanzhang was not trying to fool Gao Fei.
Whether it was joining the rebel army or leading troops to fight.
After the beginning, he established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, and governed the world.
Nothing is possible without calculation.
Zhu Han also gave him a lot of help in this regard.
Lao Zhu asked himself that in terms of settling accounts, he was definitely not weaker than all the accounting houses in the Ming Dynasty.
"Really?" Gao Fei stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked Chen Sheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all. Gao Fei's momentum was just a little too far behind.
It's as if a kitten is baring its teeth and threatening an adult.
Not only is it not intimidating, it is also a bit cute.
"Sir, please rest assured, no matter what, we would never dare to joke about this kind of thing."
As Zhu Yuanzhang said very seriously, Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief, laughed loudly and patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder: "I knew I was right. Old Chang, you are also a master of hiding things."
"I'll feel relieved now that you're here. I'll leave all the accounts in the yamen to you."
Lao Zhu stayed at the checkpoint for more than an hour.
I was very interested in watching it at first, but gradually it became boring.
According to Zhu Han, what Gao Fei did and said was just a routine.
Basically, what I say is slightly different every time, but other than that, there is basically no difference.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But for these ordinary people, this routine is enough.
Although Gao Fei acted a bit strong, he seemed a bit inhumane.
But he did give these people great hope.
At least, the hot meat porridge was distributed one by one, which allowed these people who had been hungry for a long time to have some food in their stomachs.
Of course, the food distributed here is not particularly large.
Many people have criticized this.
"Sir, can you give me an extra bite to eat? We've been hungry for several days."
"Yes, adults, please give me a little more. We don't have much, but the kids really don't have enough."
In response to the prayers of the victims, Gao Fei still followed his previous approach, whipped him mercilessly, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? You guys want to rebel again."
"You can eat as much as you are given. This is all the favor of the imperial court, but you are still not satisfied."
"What's going on? Do you still want me to cook porridge for you in person?"
Facing the angry Gao Fei, no matter how wronged you are, you have to endure it.
I can only lower my head and endure my hunger silently.
Lao Zhu was not very angry about Gao Fei's behavior.
After all, he has not experienced too many situations like this as he has led troops in wars for a long time.
Lao Zhu understood, why didn't Gao Fei give these people too much porridge?
People who are extremely hungry have extremely weak stomachs.
If you let them eat too much at this time, it will increase the burden on their gastrointestinal tract.
If you have too much of this stuff, you won't be able to digest it, and you're even more likely to strangle yourself to death.
Zhu Zhuhan actually told Zhu Yuanzhang about the specific reasons here.
It's just that there are some deeper truths that Lao Zhu really can't understand. Anyway, he knows that people can't eat too much when they are hungry. That's enough.
Naturally, it is impossible for the ranger Gao Fei to know about this kind of thing.
Naturally, it was Zhu Han's idea.
After finally sending away another group of victims, Gao Fei took the opportunity to rest and drink water.
Lao Zhu pretended to take pleasure in his misfortune and said, "Sir, you did this for the good of those people, but those people may not appreciate your kindness. However, I heard many people secretly scolding you."
Gao Fei sighed depressedly: "Just curse a few times. This is for their own good. If they are allowed to eat and drink as they please, I'm afraid many of them won't be able to survive tonight."
"A real man only needs to have a clear conscience when doing things. As for what others say, let them say it."
Even though he said this, Dean Zhu could still feel the depression in Gao Fei's heart.
