The Best Fake Eunuch

Chen Jisheng traveled all the way, and when he encountered towns and towns stationed, he would dress up as ordinary people and go deep into the folks for private visits.

He found that the people in Yanyun County complained a lot about the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the local officials dared not complain, their expressions and behaviors were enough to explain the problem.

Li Wanjiang played a big game of chess in Yanyun County, and the outcome of the final situation is still unknown, but he has already missed a move first, and what he lost was the hearts of the people.

Once the territory is lost, it can be regained. Once the popular support is lost, it is very difficult to recover.

There are nearly a thousand civil and military officials in Changshan Prefecture, from top to bottom, is it possible that there is not even a loyal minister who died for the country?

It is also very abnormal.

In addition, Changshan Prefecture is not an exception. The defenders of many cities in Yanyun County all surrendered without a fight.

This only illustrates one problem.

Everyone has lost the most basic trust in Da Zhou.

This is also good, and a lot of work in the future will be much easier to do.

Chen Jisheng pardoned Liu Congshu and Feng Tianlong, first because he agreed with their actions, and second because he also showed the officials of other states.

Since even Liu Congshu did not pursue it, the others would naturally not be punished either.

In this way, the big guy will definitely be grateful to Mr. Chen, and will definitely do his best in the future, so as to restore the stability of Yanyun County as soon as possible.

Liu Congshu is really a cadre, with a stable and down-to-earth personality, and he does things vigorously and resolutely. Chen Jisheng explained everything to him, and he did everything clearly and smoothly.

Chen Jisheng was very satisfied.

Even his name has changed unconsciously.

"Congshu, I see there are many Ross people in Changshan, what do they all do?" The attitude towards Liu Congshu has also changed a lot. Before I came to him, I asked him to stand up and talk, but later I offered him a favor. , and now he ordered someone to serve tea, and his tone was extremely kind.

"Responding to my lord, they are all businessmen, and all they sell are Ross's domestic goods, as well as some seafood, fish and shrimp." Liu Congshu said hastily.

"Hmph, fish and shrimp are salvaged in our port and sold to us. This kind of business is really profitable." Chen Jisheng rubbed his beard and narrowed his eyes.

"Hehe, speaking of it, it's a little better than the Xianbo people's cleverness." Liu Congshu smiled wryly.

"I heard that they banned all our ships from entering the port, even freighters. Is there such a thing?" Chen Jisheng started talking about the business.

"Well, it's not just the merchant ships of Dazhou. Except for their country of Ross, ships from all other countries are also not allowed to enter the port. A few days ago, a ship from Dongying encountered a typhoon and had no choice but to enter the Shunfeng Bay to escape. It was sunk by their warship, so the two sides almost went to war." Liu Cong said.

"Hey! It's a pity, why didn't there be a fight?" Chen Jisheng expressed regret.

"Haha, I think so too, it's best for them to bite the dog, and get out after both losers!" Liu Congshu laughed when he heard the words, but then sighed, "It's a pity that our navy is too weak, and our excellent sailors are too weak. The port is occupied by others, but they can't take it back, everyone says the emperor is wise and powerful, but I see him...hehe."

"Why are you so disrespectful to our emperor? Why do you think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so no one will treat you?" Chen Jisheng laughed.

"My lord Chen, the emperor is really far away. I haven't seen the emperor since I reported my duties. My lord Chen was with the king every day... But I heard that you don't respect the emperor very much. Where are you going?" Liu Congshu had become acquainted with Chen Jisheng these days, so he dared to joke.

"The king is the least important, but the country is the most important. Cong Shu, let me ask you, what is the country?" Chen Jisheng said in a deep voice.

"Sheji? It has been said since ancient times that the God of Earth is the community, and the God of Valley is the Ji. Together they are the Sheji, which means land and food. In a broad sense, it is the country." Liu Cong said.

"Cong said that you are wrong. The country is the common people. Whether it is land or grain, they are all for the sake of feeding the common people. Therefore, the common people are the country, the foundation of the country, and the foundation of the government. Only the common people have enough food and clothing. If you have no worries about food and clothing, the country will be stable." Chen Jisheng said.

"Your Excellency's words are reasonable. In fact, I have always thought so, but sometimes I get confused when I think about it. I can't figure out whether we, as officials, should make our lives for the people or serve the emperor? Under the sky , Could it be the land of the king, the shore of the land, the subjects of the king... Does this country belong to the big guy, or to the king?"

Liu Congshu's question is deafening in this era.

"Cong Shu, you asked a good question, but I can't answer this question for you, but there is someone who will definitely tell you the answer." When Chen Jisheng mentioned this person, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

"Your Majesty is flattering you, Mr. Chen, you are far-sighted, far-sighted, sage and wise... Is there anyone in this world who is smarter than you?" Liu Congshu's words were not flattery, but from the heart.

"It's not necessarily smarter than the old man, but his thoughts will often surprise you at first, and you will think it is nonsense, but when you think about it later, it seems that there is a little truth in it, and this truth is both good and evil. Even the old man is sometimes lost in it, unable to extricate himself." Chen Jisheng said.

"Which one are you talking about, my lord? Is it Mr. Ye Baiqing?" Liu Congshu also admired Ye Baiqing, a great scholar in the Imperial Academy.

"It's not him, it's Xiao Chen, that is, our emperor's Imperial General Zhengbei, who received the Grand Marshal's golden seal, and who was bestowed with Shang Fang's sword, the governor of Yanyun County, Lord Xiao, who has reached the first rank." Chen Jisheng laughed.

Needless to say, Liu Congshu actually didn't have much respect for Lord Xiao. He always felt that he was just a little eunuch who could only recite poems and fight against others.

What deep thought does an eunuch have?

What does he know?

I really didn't expect Mr. Chen, you, an upright and upright official of the Zhou Dynasty, a well-known gentleman in the world, would actually flatter others?

But then again, with your status and reputation as an old man, how could you willingly surrender to a little eunuch? It's really strange to us!

"Master Chen, Governor Xiao is coming soon. Where do you think we should arrange the Governor's Mansion? It's cold now, but it's not good to start construction, and it won't be completed in a short time." Liu Congshu expressed his embarrassment.

"How big a house can he live alone? I think it's in the government office of the state capital. There are so many rooms in the back hall, enough to live in." Chen Jisheng said.

"However..." Liu Cong said in his heart that this is not good, right?

In front is the state government office, so many people doing business every day, wouldn't it be noisy to death?

Besides, this yamen is also dilapidated, and it was left over from the previous Han Dynasty. Liu Congshu was an upright official, and he didn't spend money on repairs. The broken bricks and tiles are afraid that Governor Xiao will be dissatisfied.

He doesn't know that Governor Xiao is not picky at all, even if you rent him a private house as the Governor's Mansion, he won't have any objection.
