Chapter 679 681. Plan
Jin Qianqian also recalled that scene in her mind at this moment. She sighed and said nothing more.
Gu Wenheng, "The people below are the ones who are truly suffering, and we must live up to our conscience in everything we do.
I don’t have any lofty ambitions, I just want to give the people more food to eat.”
Jin Qianqian, "Do you have a rule in mind?
This task of reclaiming wasteland and reclaiming land cannot be accomplished overnight."
"No hurry," Gu Wenheng took out a stack of blueprints from his arms, "I did make some plans, now it depends on everyone's attitude."
Not being the chief officer also has this disadvantage. There are checks and balances from above, and the people below will not all listen to you.
Jin Qianqian, "I suddenly miss those bandits. If we could bring those tens of thousands of people here, it would save a lot of trouble."
It was so hard to train those people to be skilled in farming, but the benefits were reaped by those who came after them.
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "You and I are thinking the same thing.
Although there are no thieves here, there are many mountain bandits. If the good people don't want to do it, then let them do some labor reform."
Jin Qianqian, "..."
"Shut up, are you so surprised?"
Jin Qianqian pursed her lips, blinked her eyes and asked, "Are there a lot of bandits? Why haven't I heard of them before?"
"curious?"
Jin Qianqian nodded vigorously. Although it was childish, she really had this curiosity.
Gu Wenheng, “The local government has arrested the bandits many times, and the remaining bandits have basically fled into the mountains.
After several attacks, they are not as arrogant as before and only dare to make small moves. However, even so, they have caused great trouble to the local people. "
Jin Qianqian, "Are they all extremely vicious and cruel people?"
Gu Wenheng, "No, there are only a small number of people who have killed people and are wanted.
A large number of people are following these people because they can no longer make ends meet and are seeking a way out. "
"You want to persuade these people?" Jin Qianqian raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "I guess it's not that easy.
Now that they have chosen this path, they have no choice.
Unless you use force to solve it, it doesn't seem realistic to rely on just the people we have."
Jin Qianqian knew that the bandits in the mountains were more difficult to fight than the bandits on the sea. If they hid in the mountains, it would take a lot of manpower to find any clues.
Once you finally find it, you can just move to another hill.
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "I didn't intend to fight them with real knives and real wood warehouses."
He pointed to his heart and said, "Attack the heart."
Jin Qianqian, "Do you want to recruit or recruit?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head, "People always have ties in this world, even if they are bandits in the mountains, they must have relatives and friends.
Tell me, what would happen if these people were persuaded?"
Jin Qianqian is not so optimistic. "If I really cared about my relatives and friends, I wouldn't have gone up the mountain to become a bandit.
Besides, if they knew that there were bandits in their family, they would hide it from others, so why would they reveal it? "
Gu Wenheng, "Then you have to promise them huge profits. These people would go down the mountain and become bandits just to seek a way to survive.
No one wants to hide in the mountains, and now if given a chance, these people will definitely want to return to the crowd.”
Jin Qianqian was stunned by what he said, and couldn't understand his idea at once, "Where does the profit come from? I don't mean to hit you, but you have taken over a mess."
Gu Wenheng leaned over and whispered in her ear for a while, and Jin Qianqian's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"This method is feasible, but you have to report it to your superiors first."
Gu Wenheng had this plan, so he naturally had to have a way to deal with it. "I will settle the accounts of this county government first, and I may not be in this government for some days.
You just suffered a few days ago, so don't go to the banquet next time, and if there are any posts, just reject them all."
He was really scared a few days ago. If the county governments were not so far apart and the roads were not difficult to travel, he would have wanted to bring someone with him to feel at ease.
Jin Qianqian, "It's nothing. A situation like that happening once is enough to alert people. The governments will definitely be more careful when holding banquets next time.
But I didn't expect to be so unlucky last time and be dragged into the power struggle in the backyard.
In my opinion, Liang He is not innocent either. She was able to find the person so quickly, which means she had already noticed it a long time ago, and she just used us, the unlucky guys, to fight back. "
In the past few days, her spirit has returned to normal, and she has figured it out. The descendants of Governor Liang want to take power, and Liang Heshi cannot be unaware of this, nor can she not be on guard.
If she was really as harmless as she appeared, she would not have followed Governor Liang in office and raised her child safely.
Gu Wenheng had a very bad impression of Liang Heshi. "She is taking advantage of your incident this time to cause trouble. She now has the entire Liang Mansion backyard in her hands."
I just took advantage of this one time, but I offended some people invisibly.
How many people in their position are fools?
Everyone is just trying to maintain a superficial balance by not exposing it.
Once some things are done, just wait for the consequences.
"This backyard is truly a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder," Jin Qianqian was somewhat thankful that she did not grow up in the backyard of the deep palace, otherwise she would probably not survive more than two episodes.
I know my own roots. I grew up under the red flag, so there are not so many conspiracies and calculations.
Gu Wenheng glanced at her and said, "But you still need to know what you should know. You have been a little lazy in the past two years.
Although we don't scheme against others, we should still be on guard against others scheming against us.
Aunt Ou is too old to travel long distances with us. I have already written back to Beijing, asking Brother Zhou to find a few retired ladies-in-waiting from the palace."
"Is this okay?" Jin Qianqian had another worry, "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't take sides? If I ask him for help now, will it cause misunderstanding?"
Gu Wenheng patted her hand lightly and said, "After all, we were together for such a long time in Lucheng before, and our relationship couldn't be severed all at once. We can only let it grow colder slowly in the future.
But that doesn't mean we'll never have any contact with each other again. I helped him a lot in Lucheng before, and these little things don't count as favors.
Not to mention that you have helped him earn so much money in the past few years. It would be better if you could use your favor to make up for the previous debt."
Jin Qianqian felt that she didn't quite understand the ways of the officialdom, and since Gu Wenheng handled things that way, she didn't ask any more questions.
&
Go to Beijing
After many twists and turns, Zhou Shixiong's marriage was finally settled.
"This second daughter of Prefect Yin is still a little bit inferior in status. I am sorry for my brother."
Queen Zhou looked at the betrothal gift list in her hand and suddenly pushed it aside.
"Governor Yin's family is in such a condition that it is difficult for me to prepare the betrothal gifts."
If he gave too much, Magistrate Yin's family assets would definitely not be enough to make a dowry. It's impossible for him to lose all his family assets just to marry off his daughter, right?
But if the amount given is too little, where will the face of the Loyalty and Bravery Marquisate be put?
