Chapter 738: Follow the guidance(2/2)

Now that Shangguan Yi understood what he meant, Yang Fan certainly stopped.

We can't let such a good young talent turn into a shady officialdom veteran.

More importantly, Yang Fan knew that it would take some time for Shangguan Yi to adapt and understand.

After hearing Yang Fan's words, Shangguan Yi, who was standing aside, looked expectant.

Shangguan Yi has been admiring Yang Fan's calligraphy for a long time, so she was overjoyed to have the opportunity to see it today.

This is a literati’s respect and love for knowledge and culture.

Yang Fan smiled and waved:

"Officials do not fear my strictness, but fear my integrity; the people do not obey my ability, but obey my public. If I am honest, the officials will not dare to be arrogant; if I am honest, the people will not dare to bully me. Publicity breeds wisdom, and honesty breeds authority."

This sentence comes from "Guan Zhen" written by Guo Yunli of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Fan agrees with it very much.

Although Yang Fan wanted to change Shangguan Yi's stubborn attitude, he was still afraid that he would become a black man because of his words.

Therefore, Yang Fan gave these warnings to him.

Yang Fan is best at thin gold calligraphy, with graceful strokes and square frames. The fonts appear graceful and moving, yet solemn and clear. It can be said that every word is as it says and every word is alert.

It explains that the most important things that are the foundation of an official are two points: one is publicity, the other is integrity...

The meaning is very clear.

Subordinates respect me not because I am strict but because I am honest;

The people support me not because I have talent but because I do things fairly.

If you act justly, people will not dare to be disrespectful; if you are honest, subordinates will not dare to deceive you.

Only by being fair can one distinguish right from wrong, and by being honest can one establish authority.

In just a few words, Shangguan Yi suddenly had an epiphany.

It turns out that the chief governor from home does not object to his subordinates being honest and honest, nor does he object to doing things on his own. He just wants to be more flexible.

From this, Shangguan Yi also realized that being a good official is not difficult, it just requires being fair and honest.

But is it really not difficult to be a good official with integrity?

Shangguan Yi has some doubts again!

Seeing Shangguan Yi's expression of admiration, Yang Fan smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Shangguan Yi praised: "The Governor's words are so precise and precise. They seem simple, but they are extremely difficult to implement."

Yang Fan chuckled: "You Shao, let's encourage each other! So, do you think the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce is biased?"

"Uh..." Shangguan Yi was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Obviously, he already understood Yang Fan's intention, which was to guide him.

If Shangguan Yi originally had some objections to Yang Fan's statement, now he dare not make a conclusion easily.

The rhetoric of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce has actually been around for a long time in Confucianism, but is this really correct?

What he experienced in Huating County during this period made Shangguan Yi afraid to make a conclusion immediately, and he lost the strength he had just now.

Now that Shangguan Yi knew how to think for himself, Yang Fan said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you out for a walk today..."

Shangguan Yi stood up and said, "I obey!"

Although there were still many things on hand, Shangguan Yi did not refuse.

He wanted to see what Yang Fan could use to refute the tacit rules of past dynasties.

Seeing Shangguan Yi's unconvinced look, Yang Fan curled his lips, opened the door and walked out without saying much.

Shangguan Yi followed him and took two steps, then stepped back.

Use the stove hook to gently turn the honeycomb stove in the furnace, and the stove mouth of the honeycomb stove will be closed.

If the air is blocked, the flame will be small, thus saving coal.



Huating County changes every day, but the most talked-about thing is the farmers' market in Huating County.

Because this farmer's market is closely related to people's jobs.

Huating County is mostly swamps and tidal flats, and compared with other areas south of the Yangtze River, it is not suitable for long farming.

Therefore, the people here have made a living by fishing since ancient times.

In the Tang Dynasty, pirates were rampant in the Jiangnan area, and fishermen lived in dire straits. It was common for them to be full and hungry.

Since Yang Fan came to Jiangnan and cleaned up the pirates, the fishermen have also caught more fish.

If you get more fish, you will naturally eat them all.

The farmers' market in Huating County allows these fishermen to sell their extra fish for some money.

In particular, Yang Fan, the governor of Huating County, focused on trade. Many merchants from outside came to Huating County to conduct transactions, and the fishermen's wallets gradually bulged.

If there are no accidents, everyone will definitely have a good year on New Year's Eve this year.

Unfortunately, this good times did not last long, because during this period few merchants came to buy their fish, resulting in many fishermen having to throw away their fish.

The reason why merchants don't come to collect fish is not because everyone doesn't like to eat fish.

It is said that some people reported to the Inspection Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office that some businessmen deliberately purchased at low prices, which resulted in those businessmen being directly punished and fined by the Inspection Office.

Therefore, many businessmen no longer dare to come to buy.

After all, fish is sold in other places, but not as concentrated as in Huating County.

Prices in Huating County are expensive, and these businessmen certainly don't want to come here to buy.

However, once the price is lowered, it is easy to be punished, which also leads to fewer merchants collecting fish.

This situation has caused some misery for the fishermen in Huating County.

After all, these fish have not been treated and will rot within a few days, which makes the fishermen very distressed.

After all, this was fished hard from the sea.

Besides, if they can't sell it, how can they make a living by fishing?

Of course, fishermen are still willing to dispose of all these fish.

After all, if you harvest more fish, you can earn 30% more income at a lower price than before when the price was high.

Say that the inspector's office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office is too nosy!

But this is all for everyone's benefit, so what can anyone complain about?
