Hope for luck

Chapter 536
"I used to think about it, what is the purpose of being an official? Isn't it for yourself to be able to stand out? Is it for your children and grandchildren to enjoy the glory and wealth?"

"But after listening to your words, this old man realized that being an official is not impossible to realize one's ambitions. Only in this way can one be able to satisfy one's conscience!"

Liao Jie's words made Gao Pan very emotional. Before entering the officialdom, most officials are full of ambition and high spirits.

He only thinks of being for the talented people, but as he struggles in the officialdom, slowly, his original ideals and beliefs are slowly lost.

As the gentry class, officials have vested interests. If they consider the people everywhere, it will be against themselves.

However, Gao Pan's thought made Liao Jie very shocked. After all, whether it was the New Deal or the later increase in commercial taxes, Gao Pan voluntarily turned over his wealth to the court.

And Gao Pan proposed that the taxation is taken from the people and used for the people, which made Liao Jie even more astonished.

According to Gao Pan, taxes and collections will eventually be fed back to the people of the world, not for the benefit of certain people. Such taxes are not enough to support continuous collection.

That's why Liao Jie didn't object to some of Gao Pan's actions later, but just watched quietly.

"Mr. Liao, you are really absurd. I feel that I am not so upright. After all, everyone has selfishness, and my selfishness is to make the people of the world rich. This is some kind of greed!"

When Gao Pan said this, his face didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat, he just felt that he was righteous.

But he completely forgot that he let Shen Jieli get involved in a very profitable business in Guangling City, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to open the door to Shen Jieli?

Speaking of it, there is no essential difference between Gao Pan and those people who colluded with officials and businessmen before.

After hearing Gao Pan's words, Liao Jie shook his head slightly:

"Gaozhifu still underestimates me too much. This old man thinks that as long as you can stand at the highest place in the court in the future, you will definitely bring greater changes to the world!"

"It's like you proposed a new policy, which is a great change in the Great Yu Dynasty in a hundred years. The old man now agrees. Whether it's the taxation of the court or the interests of the people at the bottom, it can be regarded as guaranteed!"

Liao Jie's words made Gao Pan feel a little complacent. He first proposed a series of new measures to Dong Pingzhang, which achieved the current new situation of the New Deal.

Although it is still a feudal society, Gao Pan feels that for ordinary people, any social system can survive. As long as they are not exploited or squeezed, they can live a stable life. In Gao Pan's view, it is possible .

Therefore, Gao Pan's ultimate ideal is to do his best to make the people of the world rich, at least not to worry about taxes.

When these people no longer worry about taxes, everything will become much easier.

At the same time, Gao Pan is also planning to vigorously promote education, not to mention advanced ideas and scientific knowledge, as long as more children can read and understand, Gao Pan feels that it is already great.

……

Gao Pan and Liao Jie sat by the small river and talked for a long time. Both of them gained a lot. Liao Jie even said frankly that if he is still alive and healthy, he would like to see the world dominated by Gao Pan from now on. , what is it like.

"...Mr. Liao, I will go back to Beijing after a while, firstly because my wife is about to give birth, and secondly because my grandfather is seriously ill, so I have to go back to Beijing!"

At this moment, Gao Pan talked about his itinerary to Liao Jie. Seeing Liao Jie nodded slightly, Gao Pan went on to say:

"As for the matter of the Guangling Mansion, I hope Mr. Liao can help in secret. I'm afraid Master Futai will..."

Before he finished speaking, Liao Jie waved his hand:
"You can go back at ease. Speaking of it, I have to congratulate you on the birth of your precious son. As for the matter of Guangling Mansion, I can assure you that Gu Xinshan will not mess around!"

As he spoke, Liao Jie narrowed his eyes, looked into the distance, and then said slowly:

"I'm not afraid to say that you know that Gu Xinshan is actually the old man's protégé. His opposition to the New Deal was actually ordered by the old man..."

This is the first time Gao Pan has heard of this situation. Although the people in the intelligence agency are already pervasive, it is still difficult for them to know such a hidden relationship.

If Liao Jie hadn't told Gao Pan, Gao Pan would have no way of knowing that Gu Xinshan turned out to be Liao Jie's man, and that Gu Xinshan's opposition to the New Deal was written by Liao Jie?

Liao Jie looked at Gao Pan apologetically and said:

"I'm very sorry, the old man was also full of hostility to the New Deal before. He thought it was a scourge and strongly opposed it..."

"But later, the old man realized that the old man was wrong, and the mistake was outrageous. Now the old man regrets it, and made Gu Xinshan try his best to prevent the implementation of the new policy."

After Gao Pan heard it, he felt a little emotional:

"So that's the case. No wonder Mr. Gu is so confident. The person behind it is you, Mr. Liao!"

Liao Jie sighed softly:

"It's a pity that today's Gu Xinshan is no longer able to get up and down, and it's hard to get off when riding a tiger..."

"Because your proposal to increase business tax was adopted by the emperor, and now the civil and military courts are all watching how Gu Xinshan will deal with you!"

"Although they can't oppose the imperial decree of the emperor, but you, the instigator, they can't wait to let you die in a hurry!"

After Gao Pan listened, he replied without any scruples:
"Don't worry, Mr. Liao. I, Gao Pan, am a Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. These people want to see me being tortured, and I'm afraid they won't see it until the day I die!"

Liao Jie admired Gao Pan's self-confidence in his heart, and he still had some knowledge of Gao Pan.

Knowing that Gao Pan is only the grandson of a concubine from the Quanguo Duke's Mansion, but he has come to where he is today step by step, it really makes people feel a little admirable.

"Okay, you can rest assured and go back to Beijing. Gu Xinshan, I can support you first, but this time, you have pierced Jiangnan to the sky, and proposed to increase the business tax..."

After Liao Jie waved his hand again, he also promised Gao Pan, but he was still a little worried:
"A lot of people must have been putting pressure on Gu Xinshan, and this old man can't last long. You have to solve the rest by yourself!"

After Gao Pan listened, he hurriedly got up and cupped his hands and said:
"In that case, I would like to thank you, Mr. Liao. As for my own affairs, I will take care of them when I come back, so you don't need to worry about them!"

Originally Gao Pan had to face difficulties, the most important point was Liao Jie.

From Gao Pan's point of view, Liao Jie, the retired former Chief Assistant, must be difficult to deal with. He even thought about it, and he will have a life-and-death match with Liao Jie in Guangling City.

But in the end, Gao Pan never expected that Liao Jie was not only reasonable, but also very much agreed with his ruling philosophy.

And after seeing Liao Jie again this time, Gao Pan can return to Beijing with peace of mind. With Liao Jie sitting in Guangling City, Gao Pan feels that no one can turn the sky over.
