The work of digging the canals has come to an end, and all that is left is for the people to receive money based on their head.
If you can't finish your work in a long time, there is no need for others to wait here.
Zheng Wuji said to Cong Mingzhang and Chen Sijing: "It's really rude to be dismissed as an official today, I hope you two will understand.
If you don't want to give up, please follow me back to the government office. We won't talk about official matters for the time being, so I can help you two."
"Official matters must come first, and this is absolutely unacceptable. We have accepted Mr. Zheng's wishes. Let's postpone the matter of taking the wind!" At this time, Cong Mingzhang's attitude towards Zheng Wuji also softened.
It wasn't because he admired Zheng Wuji, but because he knew that if he came to check this time, he would probably not find anything.
Since that's the case, there's no need to be so straight-faced.
We are all in the officialdom, and it is inevitable that there will be times when mountains and rivers meet, so let's keep a thin line.
After listening to Cong Mingzhang's words, Zheng Wuji repeatedly said yes and ordered people to inform the magistrates of the seven counties not to leave for the time being.
Although it is not convenient to explain what official business it is here, it must be related to Chenzhou under its jurisdiction.
Since this makes it possible to ask the magistrates of each county, it is rare that everyone can gather together today.
Xu Chunjun had already taken the lead and left in a sedan chair.
Zheng Wuji, Chen Sijing and others all rode horses and slowly returned to the city.
When they arrived at the Yamen, Cong Mingzhang had just finished business and informed Zheng Wuji about their trip to inspect the petition signed by the local people on the order of the emperor.
Zheng Wuji didn't ask any more questions, and just said: "If I say no, it will inevitably be said to be empty talk.
However, there are traces of what Xiaguan has done since he took office.
I ask you, sir, to deal with it impartially, so that you can restore the emperor's order and stop the complaints of the common people."
Chen Sijing listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but ask Zheng Wuji: "Don't Master Zheng consider himself?"
Zheng Wuji smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "Although I am not as good as Song Rongzi, I still know that since I am in my position, I should shoulder my responsibilities. Reputation and reputation follow me like the wind passing through my ears. In fact, I can't care about it."
Zheng Wuji actually took reputation lightly.
It's like he lived for more than twenty years with the reputation of being a prodigal son. Once the prodigal son turns around, it will be like he died yesterday.
What's more, in this world, no matter who you are, there is no guarantee that you will not be slandered by others.
Especially as an official, it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
Zheng Wuji ordered his people to find out all the archives and related books he had kept since he took office, and put them neatly on the table.
Cong Mingzhang cleared his throat and said: "Then let's start with these checks first. If there is anything we don't understand, please ask Mr. Zheng to explain it."
Zheng Wuji nodded repeatedly and said: "According to the law, I will avoid it from now on.
If you two adults still want to check something, just check it. If you find it inconvenient here, you can find another place."
After saying that, he left and ran to the backyard to see Xu Chunjun.
When Xu Chunjun heard the sound of footsteps, he knew it was him coming.
He said to Ah Li, "I'll make some tea for you, sir. I'll also bring you a plate of poria cakes."
Zheng Wuji came in with a smile and said to Xu Chunjun: "This time I can have a few days of free time, so I can spend time with you."
"My lord, you are leaving early today. Let's have a cup of hot tea and some snacks first!" Xu Chunjun smiled softly. As she became pregnant, her temperament became softer.
"Do you know why they came?" Zheng Wuji asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes." Xu Chunjun picked up the needle and thread. She was making Zheng Wuji's undershirt, stitch by stitch, with great care.
"As expected." Zheng Wuji raised his eyebrows and said, "That old fox King Huaiyang will really trip us up if he gets the chance."
"Up to now, both of us are still testing each other," Xu Chunjun said. "He can't grasp our handle, and we can't grasp his seven inches."
"But even if the King of Huaiyang cannot be frightened by this incident, it can make those little minions be honest for a while," Zheng Wuji's tone was full of pride, "Those who came to Beijing to complain, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay here.
.
So even if we don’t hit King Huaiyang within seven inches, it’s still good to deal with some of his minions.”
"This is true." Xu Chunjun also smiled, "They say that a strong dragon will not overwhelm a weak snake. In this first round,
If we don’t fall behind, it will already be a victory.”
"That's not because I have a military advisor wife." Zheng Wuji said as he hugged Xu Chunjun with a playful smile. He couldn't help but think of the time when Chen Sijing almost threw himself off the cliff.
"Stop making trouble, be careful of getting pricked by a needle." Xu Chunjun was actually used to Zheng Wuji's dog-skin plaster look.
When the two of them get along in private, Zheng Wuji is always rude.
Even though he has become an official, he still never loses his temper in front of Xu Chunjun.
"Actually, it's the same without me." Xu Chunjun felt that many of Zheng Wuji's ideas coincided with his own, and he didn't do that because he gave him advice.
"Am I still me without you? I often think that you are here to save me." Zheng Wuji shook his head, "I won't talk about this anymore. Let me first tell you what you need my help with. I have been here for the past few days.
nothing."
"A few days ago, I asked Ah Ban to buy some cheap fabrics and cotton and send them to pregnant women who are about to give birth." Xu Chunjun has been busy recently.
Regarding this matter, "I plan to go to some people's homes in person. It's not enough to just deliver things. I also have to ask them what concerns they have."
"Then I will accompany you!" Zheng Wuji said, "Don't be tired."
"I'll go as close as possible," Xu Chunjun said. "If it's further away, I'll let Mr. Wu and Zi Ling go."
"This matter cannot be solved overnight, but we have finally made a start. With some persuasion, there will always be changes." Zheng Wuji shook Xu Chunjun's hand, "Your hands are a little cold, especially when you are leaving the city.
Is it freezing?"
"It's nothing. When I saw the people cheering happily, I was also happy. I didn't feel cold at all." Xu Chunjun looked at Zheng Wuji with a smile, "Seeing you standing there and being respected by others, I am also honored.
.”
"Chun Jun, the cheers of thousands of people are not as great as your looking at me." Zheng Wuji sighed softly and hugged her into his arms, "I am just glad now. I am glad that my spirituality has not been lost, and I know how to step back and change my mind.
Otherwise, how badly I will let you down!"
Now when Zheng Wuji thinks of the time when he was a bastard, it seems like a dream.
He couldn't remember exactly when he woke up, but he couldn't do it without Xu Chunjun's guidance.
Now he can face Chen Sijing calmly, without the confusion and inferiority he had before.
He could also understand the admiration and appreciation in Chen Sijing's eyes.
Even though he once looked at himself with such disgust.
