Chapter 557 Can You Give Me Another Chance?
Therefore, the stewards of the powerful families in the Dashun Dynasty were a group of people that many people dared not speak out against. Even a dog servant would point fingers everywhere, making people look down on them but not dare to offend them. Very few of them had a good reputation.
If Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai were to help Mo Jiuye temporarily manage the affairs of the fiefdom, they would probably be branded as bullies who relied on the power of others.
So what?
In the minds of the two men, including their families, they had intended to follow the lead of the Mohist school since the beginning of their exile. Without the help of the Mohist school, let alone whether they could reach the northwest alive, even if they did, they would still worry about their livelihood.
Although they are no longer officials appointed by the imperial court, they are still living a prosperous life thanks to the Mo family's care.
As ordinary people, or even exiles whose status was worse than that of ordinary people, they could live a life with enough food and clothing, and even have surplus food at home. This was something they never dared to imagine when they left the capital.
Now that they finally have the opportunity to repay the Mo family, the two of them are really sparing no effort. What can the butler do?
If they could work for the Mo family, not to mention the housekeeper, even the servants would do it...
Seeing that the two of them did not hesitate at all, Mo Jiuye knew that he and his wife had not chosen the wrong person.
"Thank you very much, uncles."
After saying that, Mo Jiuye brought the two of them to the group of local officials.
At present, Meng Huaining has not been able to compile evidence of the prefect's guilt for him, so Mo Jiuye can't just say anything nonsense.
"Prefect Liu has been incompetent as an official and is temporarily dismissed pending further action."
After saying that, he invited Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai to his side.
"From today on, these two will be the stewards of my palace. When I go on a campaign, they will be responsible for all matters within the fiefdom."
The prefect was so shocked at this time that he was stunned. He was indeed feeling guilty in front of Mo Jiuye.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance?"
Mo Jiuye was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of person. Giving him another chance would only cause trouble for himself.
He waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
Soon someone came up and dragged the prefect away.
Except for one or two officials who felt they had a clear conscience, the rest of the officials lowered their heads and dared not look at Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye directly instructed Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai.
"Uncles, I have just taken over the fiefdom and will be heading out on a campaign soon, so I'll leave all the affairs here to you.
I hope to see noticeable changes when I return.”
Even if Mo Jiuye didn't say anything about this, the two of them knew what to do.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The two of us will do our best."
Mo Jiuye nodded.
"Okay, if you encounter any difficulties, you can go home and ask my father for advice."
In fact, Mo Jiuye is not completely without help.
He Ziming is a man of great literary talent and has learned how to govern a country since he was young. If he is given the position of prefect, he will be fully capable of doing it.
But he knew He Ziming better. He had no interest in a career in politics and only wanted to specialize in medicine.
During the time he and his wife were in the capital, He Ziming had already bought a shop in the city and was waiting to open it after everything was ready.
He couldn't tie his brother-in-law to a position he didn't like because of his own affairs.
Therefore, when Mo Jiuye was thinking about someone who could be used, he directly eliminated He Zimingpas.
There is also his dear father-in-law. Although Minister He has not yet arrived in the northwest, it is only a matter of time.
Minister He's management ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people, but you still have to ask the old man's opinion.
You can't persuade him to resign from his official position and then come here to help him manage his fiefdom, right?
Anyway, Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai are people he trusts, and they cannot leave here at the moment.
In the future, when Nanyu overturns the verdict for both families, it will be up to them to decide whether to go or stay.
Anyway, by that time, it will be a long time later, and he believes that he will be able to train some useful people under his command.
Besides, there are many older brothers in the family, especially the fifth brother, who is calm and measured in his work, so it is not excessive to let him manage these things.
Of course, these are things he needs to consider later. What he needs to do now is to lead his men to the battlefield immediately.
The officials who came with the prefect were still kneeling there. Mo Jiuye glanced at them and said, "This king does not need any gifts from you. Your ability to do your job well is the best gift you can give to this king."
Then he waved his hand and said, "All of you, get up and take these things back. If you feel that you have a lot of wealth, you can use it to help those people who don't have enough to eat."
Those officials thought that the King of Zhenxi would take action against them after he dealt with the prefect, but unexpectedly, he just let them off so easily.
Looking at the gifts I brought, what is there to hesitate about?
After returning, we will immediately make arrangements to provide relief to those people who are in difficult circumstances.
Now that things were simply arranged, the women of the Mo family also ran out to see the men off.
He Zhiran held Zhu'er in his arms, and Madam Mo held Mingzhu.
The two of them came to Mo Jiuye together.
He Zhiran took Zhuer's little hand and greeted Mo Jiuye.
"Zhu'er, tell Daddy that I will wait for your triumphant return home."
Zhu'er seemed to understand what his mother said. He stared at Mo Jiuye with his big round eyes, making a babbling sound, and then smiled at Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye stepped forward and took Zhu'er's hand: "Son, Daddy went to build the kingdom for you, and from now on, the responsibility of protecting this kingdom will be handed over to you."
On the surface, Mo Jiuye was teasing Zhuer in front of everyone, but in fact, he really thought so in his heart.
The reason why he agreed to let Nanyu become the King of Zhenxi was because of the grant of fiefdom.
As a father, he really wanted to leave something for future generations.
Therefore, these two conditions were indispensable for him to agree to be the King of Zhenxi.
Madam Mo also came over holding Mingzhu.
When Mingzhu saw her father, she smiled with her eyes curved, and then she imitated her brother and babbled as if saying goodbye to her father.
When Mo Jiuye saw the two cute dolls, his heart softened.
He touched this and that reluctantly.
There was also a group of uncles of the two little ones. Although they did not interact with their nephews and nieces like the ninth brother did, they felt soft-hearted when they saw the two of them.
Before the Mohist men went to the battlefield, this kind of scene of separation from their families was not the first time for the Mohist women, except He Zhiran.
The anxiety in their hearts at this moment can no longer be described in words.
Although their husbands are still alive, the pain they felt when they heard the news of their husbands' death still makes them feel a tightness in their chests.
