Hope for luck

Chapter 414
"Okay, okay, Kochi County is so good at knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger with one hand, I was almost fooled by you!"

In the governor's yamen, Ye Haikun was looking at it with a look of surprise at the moment, looking like an old god.

After Gao Pan listened, he got up and bowed slightly and said:
"My lord, after all, we are carrying out the New Deal. If it really stirs up a civil uprising, it's not good, not to mention what the Emperor will think of the New Deal. Our new party will definitely suffer a heavy blow."

Seeing this, Ye Haikun said with emotion:
"Yeah, the situation is changing rapidly, and I almost prepared them to suppress them. Who would have thought that these gentry would give in in a blink of an eye, which made me feel very inexplicable."

Gao Pan smiled easily:
"Haha, I made you anxious. In fact, the lower official has already guessed that there will be such a result, but before it happens, the lower official dare not say that he is [-]% sure. I hope you will forgive me."

After hearing this, Ye Haikun understood the meaning behind Gao Pan's words, and was stunned:

"You mean, if they really want to make trouble, are you still going to suppress them?"

These words made Gao Pan's expression become a little fierce in an instant. Looking at Ye Haikun, he said firmly:
"My lord, if they really want to fight us to the end, there's no other way. We can only use iron and blood methods to promote it. However, we can't spread the matter, and we will use other reasons to cover it up, such as because they attacked the government and so on. The reason..."

After a pause, Gao Pan let out a breath, and continued:

"But in fact, they are afraid. They have already surrendered before our hole cards are revealed. Naturally, there is no need to really suppress it. In this way, it is good for all of us."

Seeing this, Ye Haikun sighed softly:
"That's right, as long as this big family and prominent family doesn't object, the remaining small landlords and squires have no chance to resist..."

Saying that, Ye Haikun looked at Gao Pan gratefully and said:

"Kochi County, I really thank you this time for planning this matter for me. Otherwise, I am still in a state of distress and don't know what to do!"

Gao Pan bowed and replied:
"My lord, you are welcome. We are both a new party, so we should help each other. Besides, your lord has helped the subordinate officials a lot before, and this matter is very important to our new party, so you don't have to worry about it."

After thinking about it, Gao Pan looked outside, and then continued:

"My lord, I've been in Jeju for a few days. It's time to go back to the alchemy hall. In the last few days, it's time to harvest the summer grain. I have to rush back to preside over it."

Naturally, Ye Haikun would not stop Gao Pan from returning to the alchemy hall, and responded with a smile:

"Since that's the case, I won't stay here. If Dantang County has more summer grain this time than in previous years, I will definitely tell the emperor truthfully. Judging by your achievements in keeping Dantang County, it's time to make a move."

Regarding this matter, Gao Pan earlier received a letter from Dong Pingzhang. In the letter, Dong Pingzhang told Gao Pan that Emperor Tianfeng was very satisfied with his explanation and the protection of Dantang County from the flames of war.

The implication is that it's time to promote Gao Pan. Although Gao Pan has only been a county magistrate for less than a year, he is still qualified enough to be promoted.

In addition, Dantang County was the first to implement the new policy. According to estimates, the summer grain collection this time will be much higher than in previous years. With these political achievements, Gao Pan's promotion to the official position will come naturally.

……

……

Some people are happy, while others are worried. In the House of the Right Minister of the Household Department in the capital, Wang Xueqing looked at the letter from Dongshan just now, patted the table angrily, and said angrily:

"Confused! It's unreasonable to agree to such a big event like this!"

Wang Xue sent a letter to Wang Lipin early in the morning, telling them not to be afraid of the governor's office, and with people like them as support in the court, they would not be afraid of any move by the new party at all.

As long as the New Party dares to directly suppress it, then it is their best time. Wang Xueqing can't wait for the New Party to directly suppress it. In this way, the New Deal will be completely abolished.

But the current result has greatly exceeded his expectations. Many aristocratic families in Jeju City suddenly became 'counseled', surrendered, and were willing to accept the implementation of the New Deal.

The more Wang Xueqing thought about it, the more angry he was, he hurriedly asked someone to prepare a sedan chair, and rushed to the residence of the Minister of the Household Department, known as the "local official", without stopping.

This Hubu Shangshu is one of the nine ministers of the imperial court, and in the Dayu Dynasty, both the Ministry of Officials and the Hubu Shangshu were concurrently served by auxiliary government cabinet ministers, and they were one level higher than the other four ministers, generally from the first rank.

The current Minister of the Household Department is one of the five cabinet ministers of the Fuzheng Pavilion.

As a cabinet minister who joined the cabinet and also served as the Minister of the Household Department, he has a high status. It is no exaggeration to say that he is an extremely human minister. He is one of the few ministers in the court who wears purple official uniforms.

Hearing Wang Xueqing's request for an audience, He Canlian, the rather old household secretary, summoned him in a cool study.

"Elder Ge, we need to change our goal. Those people in Dongshan are afraid of something, but they suddenly changed their minds and supported the New Deal."

After saluting He Canlian, Wang Xueqing hurriedly talked about the matter, looking very anxious.

But He Canlian was as indifferent as water. After gently putting down a book in his hand, he narrowed his eyes and replied:

"Zuoyuan, don't worry, do you think the people in the New Party are all fools? They are naturally afraid of being caught by us..."

"However, the old man still admires the person who made the plan. He actually used the simplest method of knocking mountains and shaking tigers, and scared these gentry masters to change their minds overnight. It's interesting, really interesting..."

I saw that He Canlian looked to be in his sixtieth year, with gray hair all over his head, and now he was down, wearing a white single shirt, just like an ordinary half-centenarian.

Wang Xueqing was stunned by these words, and after a while he said in surprise:

"Ge Lao, you already know?"

He Canlian glanced at him indifferently, and waved his hands:

"Since they have already taken measures to deal with it, if we continue to follow up, it will be meaningless. Bohan Dong will not sit still. He is the one who introduced this new policy. Next, we have plenty of opportunities."

As he spoke, he pointed to the fresh melons and fruits on the table beside him and said:
"The heat is unbearable, why don't you eat a piece of fruit first?"

Although He Canlian gave an attitude, but what he said was like saying nothing, and it was a bit secretive, so Wang Xueqing had no choice but to bow and reply:
"Thank you, Mr. Ge, for your kindness. Since this is the case, the lower official can rest assured. If the elder has no other orders, the lower official will leave."

Seeing this, He Canlian narrowed his eyes and reminded:
"Dantang County is the first county to experiment with the New Deal, and the day to pay summer grain is coming soon. Let's see what tricks this Dantang County can come up with!"

After hearing this, Wang Xueqing's eyes lit up, and he replied respectfully again:
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Ge, I understand, so I will leave."

After all, Wang Xueqing left the Shangshu Mansion with brisk steps, while He Canlian squinted his eyes, watching Wang Xueqing's leaving figure, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking?
