Fu Minqing's answer received Zou Chenglong's gratitude and Li Chen's approval.
Not arrogant, not impetuous, and not greedy for success.
Li Chen nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What's the gain?"
Fu Minqing sorted out his thoughts and replied: "We really feel that the requirements of ordinary people are really not high. They do not expect to have gold and silver mountains, let alone rise to the top and become ministers. The vast majority of ordinary people,
All I want is a warm bed with my wife and children."
"There is rice in the rice vat, they have clothes when they go out, their children are around their knees, and their wives and daughters are safe. This is their greatest wish."
"As long as we treat the people sincerely, the people will definitely treat us more sincerely. It is not difficult to be an official. The difficulty lies in keeping the people in our hearts."
"If you are motivated by the desire for power, then wherever you look, everyone is a political enemy. If you are motivated by the common people, then the power in your hands is a weapon for the country."
After hearing Fu Minqing's answer, Li Chen stopped. Facing the green rice fields stretching to the farthest distance in front of him, he was in a good mood and said, "Yes, you have truly understood the essence of being an official."
"Too many officials in the world regard being an official as a way to satisfy their own selfish desires, but they don't realize that their power comes from the court, and the power of the court comes from the people of the world."
"It is said that parents are officials and parents are officials. In fact, the real parents who provide food and clothing are the common people."
"If the common people did not plant diligently, how many of us dignitaries, princes, generals and ministers would be able to withstand the heavy lifting? I am afraid that every one of them would starve to death. However, they took advantage of the power of the common people to deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors.
You understand what they don’t understand.”
After saying that, Li Chen looked at Zou Chenglong and asked: "How can you think of persuading Fu Minqing to come here?"
Zou Chenglong smiled honestly and replied: "Wei Chen only knows that the closer to life, the more real it is. The so-called simplicity is the most important thing. The purpose of raising Wei Chen and others in the court is to let Wei Chen and others shine in the future and benefit the people of the world.
"If you don't understand the lives of the people at all, how can you know the sufferings of the people?"
"But if we don't know the sufferings of the people, how can we benefit the people?"
"So Wei Chen was good at making suggestions, and persuaded Brother Fu to come over with many of his colleagues."
Nodding, Li Chen suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Xu Junlou, who is in the same class as you, is already the governor of the capital, and he is still the third overall pick, while one of you is the top pick and the other is the second pick, although he also failed.
There are two positions, but the main thing is to be a teacher in a school. Are you dissatisfied?"
Zou Chenglong and Fu Minqing immediately replied: "Wei Chen is not dissatisfied."
Shaking his head, Li Chen said: "No, you must be dissatisfied. If you really don't, then you are saints."
Fu Minqing and Zou Chenglong were speechless.
At this time, Li Chen asked again: "Do you think that because Xu Junlou's uncle is Xu Changqing, a popular man in front of me, and the current Minister of Household Affairs, he will get up faster than you?"
Fu Minqing and Zou Chenglong looked at each other, shook their heads and replied, "Weichen doesn't feel that way."
"Why?" Li Chen asked with interest.
Fu Minqing replied: "Because Wei Chen believes that His Highness will not bury anyone. The reason why Wei Chen and Brother Zou have not been reused is because we two still need to be tempered. It's just that in this aspect, Brother Xu is better than the two of us."
Being one step faster has nothing to do with his origin."
