The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

In the past, they were either small officials or officials, or even scholars.

What about the people, the common people, they have seen too much poverty and are used to the previous state.

It's not that they are numb, it's that they are used to that state, because everyone is similar, and no one will think about other things to change the current situation.

In the past, when people saw them, they wished they could hide as far away as possible.

And now?

When the common people saw them, they said Shangguan on the left and Shangguan on the right.

What's more, there were even more words of thanks on kneeling down.

Where have they seen this situation before?

In the past, kneeling was to beg for mercy, but now kneeling is to thank. Comparing the two, everyone knows what to do.

As long as officials with a little bit of conscience don't want to be in the same state as before, who doesn't want to hear good words and words of thanks?

If it weren't for Zhong Wen, the ruthless governor, who carried out drastic reforms, who would be able to be in their current position?It is estimated that they are still staying in their original positions.

"Okay, the next thing I want to talk about is about the commanding army mansion. Lu Lindong, the siege of Yejia Village can be temporarily lifted, and the law enforcement team can keep an eye on it at any time. Take the mansion soldiers down to rest for a while. , and continue to disperse to the counties to hunt large wild animals."

"Yes, the governor."

"The meat of the wild beasts can be sold separately. The money and property will be temporarily kept by your commanding army mansion. As for the leather, you can find someone to fix it and store it. If there is too much, it will be transported by the merchant group to Chang'an for sale. Keep the money, and we will reward you next year for meritorious deeds."

Zhong Wen's words can be regarded as bringing a glimmer of light to Ye Family Village.

At least, from now on, there will be no more siege.

As for the serious illness, Zhong Wen didn't say anything, which means that the name of Yejiacun's serious illness cannot be removed.

If the people of Ye Family Village dare to spread the word, this fruit may not be delicious.

"Zheng Zhi, with regard to the government prisons and the corrupt officials in the county prisons, I have already received an order from the Holy Majesty. This matter is for Lizhou to decide on its own. Do you have anything to say?"

Zhong Wen turned to the matter about the original governor He Zheng and his group, looked at Zheng Zhi and asked.

"Returning to the governor, since the Holy Majesty let Lizhou decide on its own, then it is enough to punish according to the law of the Tang Dynasty. Those who are exiled will be exiled, and those who will never be hired will be dismissed. As for those family members, they can be dismissed."

Zheng Zhi didn't notice the way Zhong Wen looked at him. When he heard Zhong Wen's question, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to the people present.

After Zhong Wen listened to Zheng Zhi's words, he knew that this person was no longer in his trust.

At least, Zhong Wen felt that Zheng Zhi, an official, was really oily enough.

Dismissal?exile?

In Zhong Wen's eyes, this is not the same thing at all.

After dismissal, there is a possibility of reinstatement. After all, the energy of these people cannot be judged simply by talking about it. Moreover, the servant of the king told him about the court meeting of the Taiji Palace.

Up to now, there are still people who are pleading for He Zheng's good words, and what's more, some people have advised the Holy One to send He Zheng to be an official in Zhenzhou area.

Where is Zhenzhou?In the original Qiongdao.

This is called distribution?This is called reinstatement!

Zhong Wen does not allow this kind of official with human life on his hands to harm people in other places, not even Zhenzhou.

"Liu Canjun listened to the order. The original He Zheng's team will be handed over to you. After three days, all officials will be beheaded. Those who have committed evil deeds will be executed. Those who have no evil deeds will be distributed for three thousand miles. Those who commit evil deeds will be executed together, and those who do not commit any evil deeds will be distributed for three thousand li, and the people of Lizhou will be informed, and the people of Lizhou will be supervised and beheaded.”

After Zhong Wen's order was issued, all the officials present were too scared to breathe.

Execute all the officials, as well as some officials who have committed evil deeds and the family members of the former officials. This is not just one person, but there are hundreds of people.

"Yes, I respect the order of the governor." Liu Canjun stood up and responded when he heard the order.

It's impossible not to accept it, not to mention, he was not the person in charge of this matter, but Zhong Wen, the governor. After all, it was the former governor who was going to be executed.

"The governor is not allowed." At this time, after Zheng Zhi realized it, he quickly got up and dissuaded him.

"According to the order, I, Zhong Wen, have the final say in Lizhou." Zhong Wen looked at Zheng Zhi coldly.

Zhong Wen had a good impression of Zheng Zhi before, but for Lizhou now, it is not suitable.

Zhong Wen doesn't want a Bie Jia who has no enterprising spirit, and he tries to dissuade him everywhere.

For example, when the Lizhou Business Group was established, Zheng Zhi once opposed it.

It was not allowed in the past dynasties for the government to engage in business, but now Zhong Wen has broken this rule and made this rule a joke.

When Zheng Zhi heard Zhong Wen's words that I, Zhong Wen, had the final say in Lizhou, he also knew that he couldn't stop this matter.

But at this time, Zheng Zhi was planning in his heart, after leaving for a while, he would write a letter and send it to Chang'an by the staff of Baiqisi, otherwise, if this matter is not kept secret, maybe what will happen to the current Holy Majesty Blame him.

Because, the imperial decree passed down by Baiqisi was for him, and he alone should always pay attention to the actions of Zhong Wen, the governor, and various government affairs.

"From today onwards, this official seal of mine will be handed over to the Chief of Staff for the time being. Any decrees that go out of the government office will be decided by the Chief of Staff after discussion. Starting tomorrow, I will temporarily leave Lizhou and go to the capital. I am not here. All government affairs are decided by the Chief of Staff."

Zhong Wen picked up his Inspector Seal from one side, and said slowly to many officials present.

Zhong Wen's order was originally planned.

The establishment of the Chief of Staff was also for him to escape from the common affairs of Lizhou, otherwise, he would be delayed by this government affairs every day, and it would be hard to say whether Zhong Wen was a Taoist or not.

However, at this time Zheng Zhi, after hearing Zhong Wen's words, froze on the spot.

All the people present could see with discerning eyes that the governor wanted to make excuses.

Don't drive is the assistant official of Yizhou, and also the assistant official who assists the governor. Now the seal of the governor is handed over to the staff of the staff department, and it is directly stated that he is going to make Zheng Zhi the leader

"The governor is not allowed. I am the governor of Lizhou. If the governor is going to the capital to report on his duties, I should be in charge of the affairs of Lizhou according to the law. Governor, you are acting like this, but it is against my law of the Tang Dynasty. .”

Zheng Zhi stood up and protested to Zhong Wen.

"Lizhou is not yours, nor mine. It belongs to more than 20 people in Lizhou. The previous decrees are no longer suitable for the development of Lizhou. Do you understand the situation of the people in Lizhou better than the staff of the General Staff Department? If you really know better than them, I can entrust you with the position of governor."

Chapter 336 I'm Not Here

At this time, Zhong Wen no longer put Zheng Zhi in the team of Lizhou officials.

At least, at present, he is unlikely to put such a different driver in the highest position in Lizhou. He doesn't want Lizhou to return to Lizhou after Zheng Zhi's decrees that are not in line with the development of Lizhou are issued. Come the old way.

Perhaps, Zhong Wen at this time is no longer the Zhong Wen of the past.

Today's Zhong Wen is thinking about the problem from the perspective of the future of Lizhou, not an ordinary governor.

"I..." At this moment, Zheng Zhi was speechless after hearing Zhong Wen's words, and didn't know how to respond to Zhong Wen.

Power, in his heart, already occupies a very high position.

In the past, He Zheng, the governor, oppressed him, so that he only retained a little bit of power. Now, there is a more powerful Zhong Wen oppressing him, which made him start to doubt why he wanted to help Zhong Wen in the first place. up.

Speaking of which, Zheng Zhi's ability to handle affairs is still good, it's just that he didn't understand the current situation clearly.

What's more, Zheng Zhi's old-fashioned approach and style are already outdated.

If he, Zheng Zhi, followed in the footsteps of Zhong Wen, the governor, maybe Zhong Wen would delegate the power of Lizhou to Zheng Zhi.

"This matter is settled like this. Everyone, let's disperse, and go to the busy ones. From today on, you will need to put the people first. If I heard that someday, any of you dare to do anything to the people." I, Zhong Wen, will never forgive him for his fault."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Wen stood up and handed over the seal to the chief of the staff department for safekeeping.

All the officials began to disperse, except Zheng Zhizheng, who seemed to have something to say to Zhong Wen, stood there alone.

"Don't drive, Zheng, is there anything else? If there's nothing wrong, then hurry up and deal with official business." Zhong Wen shouted at Zheng Zhi who refused to leave.

"Inspector Zhong, do you want to change the entire officialdom? Or do you think that you are the governor of Lizhou and can be appointed at will? I am the governor of Lizhou, not your prefect of Zhongzhou. Have you ever thought about this? Your master? Have you ever thought about Ercun a few years ago?"

Zheng Zhida stared at Zhong Wen and shouted.

"Yes, I, Zhong Wen, agree with you, Zheng Biejia. You did get rid of me a few years ago, but if you want to get on with my master, it's a bit too much. Don't you know, Lizhou's future How should the road be walked? The officials in each county are selected by you, right? Dare I ask what I said? Do you think I don’t know what Zheng Zhi’s thoughts are? Also, the money in the government treasury, you Zheng Zhi How much did you take, do you think I, Zhong Wen, don't know?"

"Zheng Biejia, if you want to do this in peace and stability, then you should do it well. I, Zhong Wen, won't say anything. Even if you live in Lizhou for the rest of your life, I, Zhong Wen, should do the same, but Please don't take the more than 20 people in Lizhou, their future is beyond your control, as the governor of Lizhou, I must be responsible for them, do you understand this?"

What Zhong Wen said was strictly a way of dividing public and private interests.

Private is private, public is public.

If you, Zheng Zhi, really wanted to bring your personal affair into your business, then Zhong Wen would not agree. If Zhong Wen didn't still owe him Zheng Zhi's favor, he might have already made Zheng Zhi's acquaintance empty. What kind of meeting is he sitting here.

Although, [-]% of the officials in Quanli Prefecture are basically selected by him, Zheng Zhi, and these people can basically be said to be his men and horses.

If it weren't for Zhong Wen's forceful and over-the-top methods, it might be normal for those officials below to obey others.

After finishing speaking, Zhong Wen looked at Zheng Zhi.

At this time, Zheng Zhi seemed to be struggling with something.

After a long time, Zheng Zhi relaxed his brows, sighed, and left.

As for whether Zheng Zhi has figured out the problem, Zhong Wen doesn't know.

But from his sigh, one can vaguely guess something.

Zheng Zhi, who has no power, what will he do in the future.

Perhaps, he was either dismissed, or he followed the plan to do something for the people of Lizhou.

Of course, it is also possible to be depressed from then on.

He can't get in the staff department, he can't get a hand in the law enforcement department, and he can't even get a hand in the Lizhou business group, let alone the Tongjun Mansion.

What he can intervene is nothing more than some auxiliary work, or his existence as the highest official of Lizhou.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen no longer thought about what happened to Lizhou.

The authority has been assigned, and the seals in his hands have also been handed over. All he can do is to pack things.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen left Lizhou and went to Tagou Village to visit his grandmother's family and the villagers of Tagou Village.

"Xianhou, Xianhou, these are pancakes made by my mother. They are very fragrant and delicious. I specially brought them for you to try."

When Zhong Wen was looking around Tagou Village, a little boy came over with a pancake and handed it to Zhong Wen.

"Little dog, you can eat by yourself, I've already eaten." Zhong Wen looked at the little kid in front of him, feeling a little interesting.

He is not very old, so he knows how to treat himself to the villagers of Tagou Village if he knows how to eat pancakes.

Be it the villagers or the children in the village, basically no one would be afraid of Zhong Wen, the county lord.

After all, when Zhong Wen came over from time to time, he would always chat with the villagers in the village, and he would also bring some snacks from Lizhou to distribute to these little ones.

Although it wasn't very valuable, it was just a way to buy people's hearts. That's why today's scene happened.

After seeing Tagou Village, Zhong Wen returned to the County Marquis Mansion, carried his burden on his back, rode on a donkey, and headed for Longquan Village.

After several months of hard work, the matter in Lizhou can be regarded as a good beginning, and for Zhong Wen, it can be regarded as a temporary end.

As the weather gets colder, Zhong Wen just wants to stay at home, with his family, or stay in the temple, with his master.

Perhaps, time may not be able to accompany a person's growth, but experience can make Zhong Wen grow up gradually.

In his previous life, he didn't have too much intrigue, he only did his electrician work, and at most he would go out to eat, drink and so on with a few close colleagues.

Originally, Zhong Wen's temperament was pure, and he only saw and heard some things in the factory. The circle he lived in was so big, and the people he came into contact with were only those in that circle.

Those who can know the world outside the circle can only know a little through the Internet, TV movies, and news.

But now, in the Tang Dynasty, he has grown from a ten-year-old boy to the present age.

Over the past few years, he has slowly seen different times, different worlds, different people, and different human accidents.

When it was dark, Zhong Wen returned home.

"Xiaowen, why are you back? Are you okay in Lizhou? Haven't you had dinner yet? Auntie will go and help you." Xiu hugged Xiaowu, and when she saw the eldest son who had returned home, she had a look on her face. Distressed.

Although she didn't know what Zhong Wen was doing in Lizhou, she only occasionally heard her daughter casually mention a few words about the fiefdom.

"Aniang, come, give me Xiao Wu." Zhong Wen responded, taking Xiao Wu, who was almost one year old, from his mother's hand.

"Brother, brother." At this moment, Xiao Hua ran out of the house and looked at Zhong Wen excitedly.

As for Zhong Mugen, now he is more and more like a landlord.

When my son came home, he would definitely ask a question in the past, but now, he just stood there quietly without saying a word.

"Father, are you all okay?" Zhong Wen asked his father.

"Is there anything good or bad in the village? Isn't it all like this?" Zhong Mugen looked at his eldest son and responded.

As long as there is nothing wrong at home, Zhong Wen can relax a bit.

Just like what my father said, this is the case in the village, and there are no so-called big things.
