Hope for luck

Chapter 502
The first auxiliary compound.

In a warm pavilion, Dong Pingzhang and Gao Pan sat facing each other, and the room was very warm with a charcoal fire.

At this moment, Gao Pan has completely lost his childishness. He looks like a calm and introverted youth, with a pair of clear and bright star eyes, shining at this moment, which is impressive.

And Dong Pingzhang seems to be much older, and Gao Pan's gray hair seems to have become a little bit whiter and more wrinkles on his face when he first met him two years ago.

After Gao Pan looked at Dong Pingzhang carefully for a long time, he persuaded him with some horror:

"Mr. Dong, you have to take care of your body. Now is the time for the new policy to be implemented. In the future, Mr. Dong, you will be famous in history!"

Dong Pingzhang waved his hand:

"I don't want a name to go down in history, I just hope that I can do some good things for the people of the world, and that the fortune of the Dayu Dynasty can continue. That's enough!"

After Gao Pan listened, he was in awe, and Dong Pingzhang's goal seemed to have never changed.

When Prince Gong plotted a coup d'état back then, he could have informed Emperor Tianfeng of the matter and gained Emperor Tianfeng's reuse, but he did not do so.

Later, he thought that Prince Gong sent someone to kill him, but Gao Pan's parents were killed because of him.

Later, Gao Pan explained this to Dong Pingzhang, but Dong Pingzhang didn't feel relieved because of it. On the contrary, he felt that it was because of him, Gao Qiluo and his wife, that they were killed.

This also made Gao Pan very astonished. He did not expect that he had already told Dong Pingzhang that the death of Gao Qiluo and his wife had nothing to do with him, but he still believed that he was also at fault.

Even the guilt towards Gao Pan is still the same, making Gao Pan secretly ashamed of him, thinking that he must help Dong Pingzhang win a good reputation.

At this moment, Dong Pingzhang then said slowly:

"Okay, let's not talk about this... The Fuzheng Pavilion received a note from Jiangnan governor Gu Xinshan yesterday, saying that the new policy cannot be implemented in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, because all the plants in the south of the Yangtze River are mulberry trees, cotton, etc., which makes it difficult to implement the new policy... "

Gao Pan felt his scalp tingle after hearing this. Although Emperor Tianfeng forced the New Deal to be implemented in several provinces in the south, it was implemented after all, and the officials below had the final say on how to do it.

After thinking about it, Gao Pan replied in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, Mr. Dong. The rapid implementation in Dongshan was because Dongshan had just experienced riots. It is also reasonable that there are many problems in the south of the Yangtze River."

After Dong Pingzhang heard this, Cang Mu inspected Gao Pan and shook his head:

"According to Gu Xinshan, he does not plan to implement the New Deal, and plans to abolish the New Deal, and still follow the old rules..."

"Xia Jingyan also supports his view, thinking that there is no need to implement any new policies in Jiangnan, because the tax in Jiangnan has always been the most, the highest is as high as 800 million taels of tax silver, accounting for more than [-]% of all taxes in the world. .”

After a pause, Dong Pingzhang narrowed his eyes and said:

"But if the New Deal is not implemented in one place in the south of the Yangtze River, other places will naturally not accept it. This is why the old man called you here to discuss countermeasures."

After Gao Pan listened, he looked at Dong Pingzhang and saw that his face was calm and prepared, so he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Haha, since Mr. Dong has an idea, why bother to ask my opinion? The junior Zhang Lai always obeys your wishes. No matter what you ask me to do, I am willing. Mr. Dong, if you have any hard work, you can directly Say it!"

When Dong Pingzhang heard the words, he also smiled in agreement, and straightened out that Gao Pan was a little cunning, and he didn't even need to explain it, he had already guessed it.

"... After all, Jiangnan is a place where the imperial court pays a lot of taxes. If the New Deal cannot be implemented, it is undoubtedly a distressing thing for us. Therefore, we must implement it..."

Dong Pingzhang looked at Gao Pan, talking quite seriously, seeing that Gao Pan didn't seem to have changed, he went on to say:

"So, the old man wants you to go to Jiangnan to serve as a magistrate, firstly to threaten Gu Xinshan, and secondly, to implement the new policy. You are more familiar with this than the old man, and you know what to do..."

"The last point is that I want you to practice more. You are tired of being the head of the household department, and you should move!"

Dong Pingzhang's words made Gao Pan's heart jump. He kept thinking about where he would be next.

After all, he has already done almost the job of the head of the household department. At the beginning, Dong Pingzhang asked him to work in the household department in order to win the household department.

Now, the household department has already been controlled by Dong Pingzhang, and Gao Pan's task has been completed.

For a long time, Gao Pan was waiting for where he should go next time. Unexpectedly, Dong Pingzhang proposed to let him go to the local magistrate.

The prefects and prefects in the Dayu Dynasty were all of the fifth rank, and the prefects of the larger prefectures would be the fourth rank, such as Jiangnan Yingtianfu.

Because Chengtian Mansion in the capital is under the foot of the emperor, the governor of the mansion is the third rank.

At this moment, Gao Pan is only the master of the sixth grade. If he is appointed as the magistrate, it will be another leap directly across two levels.

And at this time, Gao Pan was only 21 years old, and after the new year, he was only 22 years old. Such a young prefect made people feel a little surprised.

Dong Pingzhang frowned when he saw that Gao Pan was astonished and said nothing for a long time:

"What? But you don't want to?"

After Gao Pan listened, he realized this, and hurriedly got up and bowed and replied:

"Your official is willing, but I'm afraid of disappointing your old expectations of me!"

Seeing this, Dong Pingzhang waved his hand again:

"It's okay, it's just for you to practice more. If you can do a good job in the prefect this time, the next step will be much easier for you. If you transfer back to the capital, that's the position of the six doctors!"

These words made Gao Pan's heart skip a beat again, and his inner desire has not changed, which is to work hard towards the position of an extremely human minister.

Today, Dong Pingzhang is still in office, which is enough to support him. From the county magistrate to the head of the household department, and then to the magistrate, Gao Pan has directly passed several levels.

This kind of thing, if it were someone else, don't even think about it. It was because Dong Pingzhang supported Gao Pan so much that he made his way to the top.

Now, Gao Pan, who is only in his early twenties, is already a magistrate. Perhaps in his [-]s, Gao Pan may enter the rank of ministers, which can be regarded as an unprecedented situation in the Dayu Dynasty.

Following Gao Pan's statement, Dong Pingzhang gave Gao Pan a lot of instructions again. The most important instruction was to ask Gao Pan to find a way to continue to implement the New Deal, and to accumulate more experience in local positions.

Dong Pingzhang also reminded Gao Pan to make preparations. If there is no accident, the letter of appointment from the Ministry of Officials will be sent to him after the New Year.

After Gao Pan heard this, he was shocked in his heart. Shen Jinhua was pregnant at the moment, and Gao Pan was quite reluctant to part with her.

However, for the sake of their next generation, Gao Pan also has to do some things, besides, it is impossible for him to stay in the capital all the time, unless he wants to be a millionaire for the rest of his life.
