Chapter 776 Old Chen, you have to seize the opportunity
Prince Rui did an excellent job in ideological work. When the governor of Hubei took the banknote and left, his thoughts were undoubtedly sublimated and his cognition was greatly improved. His whole person became very positive and seemed to be ten years younger.
My waist is straight when I walk.
Also, for a good official, the biggest motivation comes not from the praise of the people, but from the support from above.
Without support from above, no matter how good an official is, he cannot carry out his work.
This time, with Prince Rui's support, Hubei's officials will be saved.
The people also have hope.
The only thing he, Lao Zheng, can do is to let go of his hands and feet, boldly innovate, and rectify the administration of officials. Otherwise, I'm sorry for Prince Rui's trust and support in him.
"The spirit of a prince!"
Captain Bao and Deputy Director Ding immediately sent congratulatory messages to the prince, congratulating him on his success in winning another provincial governorship, which made the prince seem to have taken over Macau.
Jia Liu also subconsciously touched his pocket to give his brothers a ring, but found that his pocket was empty, so he gave up.
Come to the dining table and continue eating.
He had only eaten half of it when Lao Zheng came just now. Although the rice was cold, he still had a strong appetite.
When he picked up the bowl, he found that there were several grains of rice in front of Baozhu. He couldn't help but get angry and hit Baozhu's head with his chopsticks, telling him that it is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drips from the soil.
"Waste is a crime. Every grain of rice you eat is the result of the hard work of the people. Hum, if you don't pick it up, I will let you choose two places for business trip, one is Ninggu Pagoda and the other is Ili."
Jia Liu was really angry. As he grew up, he couldn't bear to see anyone wasting food.
"The pillars cannot leave the prince, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem, Henan must gain Qingdao as an outlet to the sea, and the Thirty Nights cannot live without fireworks. Your Excellency, I was wrong!"
Baozhu had no choice but to pick up the rice grains on the table and throw them into his mouth with a sad face. Seeing this, the other guards hurriedly checked in front of the table to see if there were any rice grains, lest they would be beaten by the prince like the captain.
One of the guards picked up the bones he had just chewed and chewed them again.
The power of role models is truly endless.
"Your Majesty is upright and upright, but this Old Zheng is like Monkey Sun, unable to climb out of His Majesty's Five Fingers Mountain. With Lao Zheng, Hubei will belong to His Majesty from now on."
Deputy Director Ding spoke well and indirectly described the prince as Tathagata Buddha, and was deeply impressed by the prince's political wisdom in taking a high-level approach.
To deal with Lao Zheng, the top leader, is to deal with the entire officialdom of Hubei.
"Don't say that. Lao Zheng is a good official. I have always respected good officials. The issue of officialdom has always been something I am concerned about and worried about. I just want to take this opportunity to let Lao Zheng take care of it. If Hubei can
It will become a model for officialdom across the country, and I will have a reference for it after I ascend the throne in the future."
Jia Liu nodded with a greasy face, then put down the bowl with a serious look on his face.
"There are only three types of people who serve as officials.
One type is someone who wants money. For this kind of person, give him money to clear the way and make him happy;
The second type is those who like women. For this kind of person, it is easier to deal with it. Just arrange it for him;
The third type of people are those who want fame. This kind of person is what we often call a good official, and he also wants to do things. For this kind of person, you should do what he likes, and there is nothing wrong with helping him achieve his goals. After all, it is beneficial to the people."
Deputy Director Ding put down the spoon, nodded and said: "It seems that in the prince's mind, Master Zheng is the third type of person."
"I hope there are more people like this as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that when I wake up one day, the people will drag me to the guillotine."
Jia Liu smiled, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in a bowl.
Just like tofu, he is also innocent.
Baozhu hesitated for a moment and asked a question: "Your Majesty, what should I do if this official doesn't love money, doesn't love women, and doesn't have a good reputation?"
"If a person has no hobbies at all, how can he be expected to love the court, the king, and the people?"
Jia Liu touched his beard and said, "This kind of person cannot be kept. In principle, he must be removed."
"oh."
Captain Bao nodded and asked what if an official loves money, women, and fame, what should he do?
"Shuan Zhu, is this you?"
Jia Liu was confused, wondering whether Baozhu was possessed by Shuan Zhu.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally gave the answer: "People who love all three should be killed because they have a big appetite and are not easy to feed. They might miss my throne one day."
"Alas!"
After hearing this, Baozhu suddenly lost his voice, and then his face changed drastically. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to roar for rice, but in fact there was not a grain of rice in the bowl.
"Um?"
This made Jia Liu very suspicious.
Upon seeing this, Deputy Director Ding quickly interrupted: "Your Majesty, if Old Zheng rectifies the administration of officials, what will happen to those who were demoted?"
At present, most of the Hubei provinces, except Xiangyang and Enshi, are newly annexed prefectures and counties, and the leaders of these prefectures and counties have basically been demoted.
Therefore, if the prince allows Lao Zheng to rectify the government, 90% of the officials who have been demoted will probably be removed. If this is done, it will appear that the prince has not kept his word, and secondly, it will easily shake the hearts of the officials who have not surrendered.
After all, in the eyes of these officials, staff and lives are equally important.
"Just do whatever you have to do. Scholars can't rebel for ten years. I can't see civil servants rebelling for three days."
Jia Liu smiled confidently. In addition to taking away military power, the new army in Hubei also wanted to dig out the root causes of those who were demoted.
As long as the generals leading the troops can be appeased, those spineless demoted officials will be like pigs in the twelfth lunar month, and they will be tied up at the first glance.
Of course, he would not really let Lao Zheng get demoted. In principle, he would not interfere, but key officials above the provincial level still had to say hello.
For example, Lao Chen was expelled from the club by the rich man.
Wuchang.
When the pseudo-Governor of Huguang, who was having a meal, heard the report from his servants, he quickly put down his rice bowl and went to the study.
The reason is that Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty sent someone over.
It's a secret channel.
Except for a few close associates of Lao Chen, no one in the Governor's Mansion knew that there was a thief in the house.
When the visitor saw the Governor, he took out the secret material hidden in the sole of his shoe without telling him his name.
"Um?"
Old Chen took it and opened it in confusion, and his expression changed.
But it was a special membership card stamped with the mutual aid association's seal, and two special letters of appointment.
One is a letter of appointment for the president of the Huguang Branch of the Mutual Aid Association. In addition to the mutual aid association's seal, it also has the personal seal of the president, Prince Rui.
The other is a letter of appointment for the Governor of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty, with the royal seal of Prince Rui as the general on it.
The letter of appointment and the use of seals are very particular.
The official uniform and the seal of the Governor of Huguang were not sent because they were both in the hands of Lao Chen.
"this"
Lao Chen's heart was beating wildly, and his left eyelid was beating uncontrollably. The shock and joy in his heart were hard to describe in words.
"Sir, the prince has said that the organization will allow you to rejoin the association. Firstly, in recognition of your past merits, and to correct the mistakes of Fu Zhongtang; secondly, I hope that you can make meritorious deeds and serve the prince well."
When the visitor said this, he bowed deeply and said, "Opportunities are hard to come by. I hope you can seize them well and don't let the prince down."
