Chapter 74 Ling Xiao decided to be shameless
Kangxi's decree came very quickly. At noon the next day, when Ling Xiao and everyone were serving porridge at the entrance of the station, Wu Dan came with his decree. Kangxi agreed to Wu Dan's request to surrender Baoding City. Wu Dan decided to self-determination if he found hoarding goods and raised the price of grain, and tried his best to appease all the victims. As for the case of embezzlement of disaster relief grain, the case of Zhili Governor's Office was investigated by the Zhili Governor's Office.
Ling Xiao got the secret order, which only adds up to four words, "Is it Huguang?"
This time, Ling Xiao was immediately depressed. Wu Dan sent troops to protect them and left Baoding Prefecture, along the official road, Ling Xiao was stuck in Lan Qin's car all day long. He didn't see the poisonous sun at the end of July. The sage intention of Kangxi was unpredictable, so Ling Xiao had to rush to the road and ignore everything. He was too lazy to see the desolation of the yellow-spanned area, and he didn't even look at the victims along the way. Anyway, it was not his place, so it was not a problem for the emperor to be anxious about the eunuchs!
It was not until the ninth day of the eighth month that Ling Xiao brought his ceremonial guards and his family to Wusheng Pass. Looking at the majestic pass, Ling Xiao was deeply moved. Behind him, he had just passed the place where he was in danger last year. Unfortunately, he had no interest in revisiting the old place. In just ten months, his changes were really great. After passing this Wusheng Pass, he was about to arrive at his stage and sing his own play.
Gu Zhenguan saw Ling Xiao looking at the pass and laughed, "The ancients did not deceive me. As expected, the carriages could not be squared and horses could not ride together. Wusheng Pass has always been a place for the north and south to compete, and the way to masters should be."
Ling Xiao looked at the old man and remembered that the Beijing-Guangzhou Line passed by this in the future. He couldn't help but intersect, "Yes, if the north and south confront each other, it would be an important pass. However, when the world is unified, this is a useless traffic barrier."
Gu Zhenguan looked at the thousands of victims waiting for the passage at the pass. "Sir, you can't say that. This kind of victorious pass is actually useful. You see, isn't it considered by Hubei officials to prevent the victims from entering and collecting taxes?" Ling Xiao looked at these ragged hungry people, and thought that after passing the pass, he would have his own acre of three-point land. The pity he deliberately suppressed along the way emerged again, and asked with confidence. "Sir, do you think, if I rely on my imperial envoy to guard the pass, can I bring these victims into Huguang?"
"Don't be fooled!" Gu Zhenguan shouted suddenly, suddenly felt that he had surpassed the courtesy and quickly apologized, "Sir, please forgive me. Zhenguan will definitely pay attention to etiquette in the future."
"Sir, I regard me as my nephew, and I blame me for my love. Just now, I thought Xiao Xiao would not be stingy with me." Ling Xiao is from modern times and of course he is very tolerant of these.
"Singde told me the emperor's instructions to you, and I thought. Adults should let go of these mercy first." Gu Zhenguan saw Ling Xiao's good listening, of course he did not hide his own selfishness. "To put it bluntly, what mercy does not like to listen to, these mercy is just the kindness of a woman!"
"Women's kindness?" This is the second time Ling Xiao has heard such comments. The last time it was Kangxi who said this to himself, and this time Gu Zhenguan said this to him, he was very aggrieved and surprised.
"I dare to ask, who will issue the order to prevent disaster victims from entering Huguang? You can't escape the governor of Hubei or the governor of Huguang. If you forcefully request the victims to be placed in it, you will not only offend the yamen and chief officials who issued the order, but even more troublesome that you have offended a large number of local officials before you have stepped into Hubei!"
Ling Xiao became aware. Yes, if a large number of victims poured in, it would not only consume local food, but also affect the security situation in the area. The number of refugees and security situation in the official assessment will include the number of domestic residents. At that time, the people he offended will go to the sea.
"I'll ask you again. How should you ensure the future life of the disaster victims in the province? You are neither the governor nor the senior official. How can you raise funds for disaster relief for half a year? How can you resettle the area where the disaster victims are distributed? In Huguang officials are afraid that you will grab your braids. But if you talk about the adult issuing a separate government order, Zhenguan thinks that there will not be many people listening to you. Unless you issue a government order with relevant government orders, you will be more likely to be impeached! The adults can't do anything for the victims now, and they cannot protect them in the future. Then this will be useless and may even make a fortune."
Ling Xiao was silent. He thought too simply. His official position could not be used to govern alone, and things could not be done with just a single passion. Gu Zhenguan continued, "For the sake of this, only by keeping his official position and giving the people some welfare in the best of his ability, and at the same time seeking greater power can you realize your ambitions, so that those who farm have their own land and those who live there can have their own place."
A few words woke up the dreamer. Ling Xiao suddenly understood and jumped out of a narrow compassion.
During these days he came out of the bustling capital, he had been shocked by the tragic experiences of the people, especially the victims, which aroused his sympathy, which made him want to do something for the people. On Lan Qin's car, he figured out one thing that he had actually found the goal or ideal of life, that is, to do some practical things for the people's livelihood. At this moment, he got the tips from Gu Zhenguan, and he knew the importance of power and understood that he needed to show the shamelessness in the shopping mall before. The officialdom is a field that is even darker than the shopping mall, and self-moral constraints are simply seeking death.
Ling Xiao bowed to Gu Zhenguan, and even Di Haocheng, Hu Tao and Hu Jun next to him looked like he was taught, which made Gu Zhenguan very happy and even said that he could teach. If he knew that Ling Xiao understood it more thoroughly than him, he would definitely be shocked, "In short, use all the best, kill gods and Buddhas and kill Buddhas!"
The guards were almost like the Baoding garrison, whipping the way through the victims and leaving.
As the officials along the way rolled the post station, the officials along the way had already learned that Guanfeng Envoy had arrived at their territory. When the magistrate of De'an Prefecture led officials and gentry to greet him, Guanfeng Envoy did not even get off the car, and just sent him off for a reason that he was ill. The officials from De'an Prefecture looked at the team leaving Juechen and felt that the Guanfeng Envoy was not easy to talk to, and Ling Xiao's heart had already flown to Wuchang City, which was the power center of Huguang. Ling Xiao would not do anything else, but he did some business to improve people's livelihood and bound the interests of the officials, and he believed that he was still capable.
Ling Xiao and others arrived at Wujiashan, and then they found a large group of people waiting for him. Governor Wu Qi of Huguang, Governor Su Keji of Hubei, Governor of Hubei, Tongguke of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the
In fact, as early as the end of May, when Kangxi issued the first imperial edict to inform the world that Ling Xiao’s grace of saving the Lord, these officials agreed that Ling Xiao, a master who could be investigated, would treat him as a Bodhisattva and respect him as a Bodhisattva. As long as he did not seek trouble all day and night, they would nod and celebrate.
It is precisely because Ling Xiao's power can kick everyone, all officials in Huguang were asking about Ling Xiao's zodiac sign until they learned that Ling Xiao was not a dog, and they were relieved. This Fengguanshi should not be a mad dog. Who knew that in June and July, this Lord Ling Xiao actually played lottery in Beijing. For a time, the people in the Huguang officialdom were very calm. The better the lottery situation, the less likely Ling Xiao would come to Huguang. However, when Kangxi appointed Ling Xiaohuguang to watch the wind again in mid-last month, the entire officialdom was shocked again, and his butt was so clean that he could use fragrant soup to wash it, and those who were not clean could want to cut off his butt.
However, Governor Wu Jun calmed down. He was an old man from Huguang and a former governor of Hubei. Perhaps he had received the secret order from Kangxi, or perhaps he had received news from Beijing. He knew that Kangxi had given Ling Xiao a resignation instruction to Ling Xiao, and understood that Ling Xiao was exiled more and he felt much more at ease. He could have waited in the yamen and proposed the idea of high-level reception and comforting the young marquis to comfort the young marquis. He did not believe that Ling Xiao would do anything wrong. So a strange thing happened to the high-ranking governor, the second-ranking governor and the governor, the third-ranking inspector and the fourth-ranking prefect, these people went together. Even though Ling Xiao was an imperial envoy, he was afraid that he would have to see the love!
Ling Xiao got out of the car, and his yellow jacket was very eye-catching. Wu Qi knew Ling Xiao’s identity as an imperial envoy. This first time, the 58-year-old governor shook his horse’s sleeves and took the lead in kneeling down.
"I respectfully invite the Holy One!"
When Ling Xiao saw the white-haired governor and the old official kneeling down, he quickly shouted "Sage Gong'an", ending the kneeling etiquette that he was not used to.
Seeing everyone getting up, Ling Xiao was not a naughty man. He smiled and gave a hint of his status to Wu Jun and Su Keji. He just gave everyone a hint of his status. Because he was a super marquis and an imperial envoy, he deserved this status and his etiquette was just a little disrespectful to the elderly in front of a group of guys who had grown old and beautiful hair.
Wu Qi laughed in a Shanxi-sounding official verb, "The Marquis came from afar and was appointed to patrol Huguang. I was unable to welcome you from a distance. I still ask the Marquis to forgive you!"
"Old platform, so I should not treat Ling Xiao as a person from Huguang! Your Governor's Office in Wujia Mountain is no less than 60 miles away, and you have to cross the river and walk on the waves. Ling Xiao knows this kind of heart. Today Ling Xiao said, "I'm not here to cause trouble for you..."
Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, he heard a loud scream from the front of the official road far away.
