Wei and Jin cooks

After the remonstrance was handed over, Yan Heng kept waiting, but there was no news for two days, and still no news after five days of waiting.

Yan Heng couldn't help but frown.

Even if Gou Xi is not as diligent as before, he should have seen it after five days, right?

Yan Heng was not inexperienced in the world. He was just a young man. As soon as he thought about it, he knew that his letter of remonstrance had been suppressed, so he got up from the hospital bed angrily and wrote another letter!

He was so angry that he seemed to be getting better from his illness.

Yan Heng handed the written remonstrance to his subordinates and said with a green face: "Give this book to General Pei and ask him to deliver it on your behalf."

Humph, did Gou Chun think he was the only one with connections?

He has been operating beside the general for many years, and Yan Heng has many more connections than Gou Chun.

The servant responded and took the letter to General Pei.

At this time, Zhao Hanzhang had just received a letter from Zhao Zhongyu.

The letter is much faster than people, it can arrive in three days.

She opened it casually and slowly sat up straight...

Ji Yuan, who was waiting for her to discuss matters together, couldn't help but look up.

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but get up and wander around, "Uncle, you are confused. How can you think of killing someone like Yan Heng? Wouldn't it be better to bring him here for our use?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan's eyes flashed with confusion and he asked, "Did Yan Heng and Gou Xi have a falling out?"

Zhao Hanzhang showed the letter to Ji Yuan, "Although it's not there, it's not far away."

Ji Yuan glanced at him and said thoughtfully: "If Gou Xi can no longer use Yan Heng, he will not be allowed to leave alive."

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, "Good birds choose trees to roost in. If the king and his ministers cannot get along, they will break up."

Which company would kill employees just because they have different ideas?

Yan Heng is just doing a job.

Ji Yuan closed the letter and said: "If it is possible for others, Gou Xi, he is very domineering and will not allow Yan Heng to live."

Zhao Hanzhang had only heard of Gou Xi's reputation for being honest and upright in history books, and his regret that he later fell into disgrace. This was the first time he heard someone say that Gou Xi was domineering.

Seeing her curiosity, Ji Yuan smiled and said, "I have met him several times with Master Lao Lang. These words are not what I said, but the assertion of Master Lao Lang."

He said: "When Gou Xi was honest and upright, he had demands in his heart. He not only held himself to the same standards, but also held others to the same standards. Even because he was someone else, he always had doubts and his demands became more stringent."

"This is different from Master Lang's incorruptibility." Zhao Changyu is stingy. He lives frugally but is good at business. He would rather hide all the money he gets from business than enjoy it. Naturally, he will not give it to him. others enjoy.

So he is stingy to himself and others, but he will not ask others to be stingy to him.

Therefore, Zhao Changyu's incorruptibility was limited to himself, and he set an example by asking his colleagues to be more incorruptible like him and not to exploit the people's wealth too much.

Gou Xi is not the case. He is impartial, selfless, and honest. He demands it of himself, and he also treats others in the same way. He even makes stricter demands on others, so that others can be like him.

"We can't say he is wrong, but we can't explain things in this world. His request is like a rope. When he keeps pulling the rope towards him, the person on the other end is stimulated. I had my backbone and wanted to go to the other end, and then the rope became tight. As soon as both sides exerted force, the rope broke."

Ji Yuan said: "Moreover, Gou Xi is not only harsh on his colleagues, but also on the common people and soldiers. No one is allowed to disobey the rules he has set."

"But there are many stupid people in the world, few smart people, and the people are used to being lax. The requirement set for them is that they should be as long as a rope so that they can move within that range, but Gou Xi is only willing to give them a finger length The rope requires them to do things within such a short range, how can the people not violate it?"

If you violate the rules, you will be punished, so there are rumors among Yanzhou people that Gou Xi is too strict, but no one dares to say it to his face.

"But Gou Xi is indeed very capable. With him around, Yanzhou is a fortress. It is difficult for the Xiongnu to invade, and it is difficult for the refugee army to cause trouble in Yanzhou. The people can barely live and work in peace and contentment."

So although the people thought Gou Xi was harsh, they still respected him. If he had changed beyond recognition as the letter said, would that respect still exist?

Ji Yuan's eyes flickered and he looked up at Zhao Hanzhang. She had mentioned to them more than once that whether they were grabbing territory, fighting the Huns, or seizing power from the court, their ultimate goal was to rule the people.

Only when the people are at peace can the world be at peace, and only then can they be at peace!

Zhao Hanzhang also turned her head and looked over, their eyes met. She looked at Ji Yuan with some confusion, "What's wrong, sir?"

Ji Yuan smiled and shook his head. He didn't know what would happen in the future, at least that's what Zhao Hanzhang thinks and does now.

He returned to the subject: "In short, it is not easy for you to take Yan Heng as your own. The difficulty is not Yan Heng, but Gou Xi. Yanzhou is his territory, and it is not easy for you to seize food from the tiger's mouth."

Zhao Hanzhang became distressed, but still refused to give in, "I have to give it a try."

So she handed over this problem to Zhao Zhongyu. One person can think about shortcomings, and two people can think about strengths. Moreover, Zhao Zhongyu is in Yuncheng, maybe there is a way?

She told Zhao Zhongyu, uncle, we need to open up the situation. Since you think Yan Heng is so powerful, why don't you persuade him to come to Luoyang? Why do you have to let Gou Xi kill him or keep him for his own use?

Zhao Hanzhang has always been very hungry for talents, so he immediately wrote the letter and sent it to Yuncheng.

"My uncle's letter also said that Shen Ruhui and four others have come to Luoyang. They are all officials of Sinong Temple and the Ministry of Water Resources. They not only research on water mills, but are also proficient in other water conservancy projects." She said: " There has been almost no water conservancy work in Luoyang in the past few years, and the ditches are filled with soil, branches and leaves, so that there is a lack of water in spring and autumn, and the water is rancid in summer. I have long wanted to clean it up."

"But there are few people in Luoyang, and some fields cannot be planted yet. It is a waste of manpower and will inevitably slow down the water conservancy of the fields that have been sown. I also want to make some modifications and want a water conservancy project with better water storage, so they came just in time. , Sinong Temple has been built, and it’s time for the Water Department to be built as well.”

Ji Yuan frowned slightly and reminded: "Girl, you are just the governor and do not have the right to form the Ministry of Water. Why don't you change your name? People outside will think you are disloyal, and His Majesty's face doesn't look good." .”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded obediently, "I thought so too, so I decided to form an engineering department."

"Ministry of Industry?"

"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang said: "From now on, all civil engineering, water conservancy projects, machine manufacturing projects, mining, metallurgy, weaving, etc. under the rule will all be under the control of the Ministry of Industry."

Ji Yuan opened his mouth wide, "Then, isn't that Dongguan?"
