Chapter 1738 Taking on Things
"I am the father and mother of this place. It is my duty to serve the people and seek their welfare. I also have the trust of the court. How dare I hand over this matter to others?"
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame to the court and the people?"
"If Guanzhou Cheng has really recovered from his injury, he can go to work in the government office as usual tomorrow. I believe that Guanzhou Cheng will do his duty conscientiously!"
If it is not your job or you are not supposed to take responsibility for something, then forget about it.
Guanzhou Cheng was obviously thicker-skinned than Shao Yunduan expected. Shao Yunduan gave him some face and left him some room for maneuver. Guanzhou Cheng felt that he could still fight for it, so he forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will do my duty conscientiously. Just go and have a rest! Before you came to Anzezhou, I handled all the affairs of this government office. I am very familiar with it and will definitely not make any mistakes! As a prefect, I should help you solve your problems!"
Seeing that this man was not making sense, Shao Yunduan was too lazy to pay attention to him and sent him away with a few words.
Who would have thought that when he went to the yamen the next day, Guanzhou Cheng acted like the boss and took the lead in giving orders on everything.
He was the provincial governor, and there were already many people in the provincial government who were in cahoots with him and flattered him. When they saw that he had finally arrived, they were all delighted, as if they had found a backbone.
Seeing that he was still giving orders and managing affairs as usual, he was even more delighted!
What does this mean? It means that in this state government, Guan Zhoucheng's position is still unbreakable and he still has the final say.
This is great. This way, the clerks who gather around him don’t have to worry anymore.
Jia Heming and others who had originally disliked him, as well as the clerks hired later by Shao Yunduan, were very dissatisfied when they saw this.
After everyone got together to discuss, they decided to follow the rules of the government office. Everyone should fulfill their duties and handle things impartially. If Lord Shao had given instructions before, they should follow his instructions. If there were existing regulations in the government office, they should follow them. In addition, if Guanzhou Cheng had an order and thought it was reasonable, they should follow his instructions. Otherwise, they should ask Lord Shao first...
Seeing that Guanzhou Cheng was in high spirits and acted like a master as soon as he came back to work, Shao Yunduan simply avoided him and spent more time in the backyard with Qiao Xuan, letting Guanzhou Cheng act as he pleased.
The harder he worked, the more problems that should arise would surface. He could also see what monsters there were, and who in the provincial government could be truly relied upon and cultivated, who were unworthy, and who were fence-sitters.
It is always better to solve the problem once and for all than to let it persist.
When Guanzhou Cheng saw this, he was so happy!
I was also secretly proud of myself.
He said that no one could shake his position in this yamen. After all, he had been running the business for so many years and had a lot of people under him.
Not to mention how deep the friendship between them is, those people have common interests with me, and based on this point, they will not betray me easily.
No matter how capable Lord Shao is, and even if he has control over the yamen runners, it is still impossible for him not to give me some face and rely on me.
But soon, Guanzhou Cheng felt that the provincial government was no longer a place he could command with ease, and many clerks were not very obedient.
