Chapter 128 I'm afraid he won't come
In the past, Jin Jie still seemed very honest, but it was different today. He answered Zhao Tai from the perspective of a wealthy family.
If he was still serving as an official of Changshan County, he would definitely not agree directly, but would explain it, but he didn't.
The attitude expressed couldn't be more obvious. As far as Zhao Tai's series of actions are concerned, if the aristocratic family still foolishly thinks that Zhao Tai is just playing games with them, then they are not the aristocratic family.
However, what Zhao Tai did was too obvious. Even if the family felt a sense of crisis, they would not be too public. They could only use some strategies to add obstacles to Zhao Tai, and even shake his rule and foundation.
But these methods are good for others, but not so good for Zhao Taike.
The reason why the people can be chaotic is that they will be used by the aristocratic family, relying on poor information, and they can use this to create public anger without public anger.
Take the price of farm tools as an example. If it is not dealt with in time, it will be rumored that the price of farm tools is high, and then it will be rumored that Zhao Tai's identity will be spread, and then it will arouse the people's emotions to be hostile to Zhao Tai.
How to fool the people is to use underdeveloped information to achieve a certain purpose.
Zhao Tai glanced at Jin Jie and said nothing, he wanted to see what the family would do next.
Should he be dismissed from office and negotiate terms with Zhao Tai, or should he secretly contact and set a date to cause chaos in Changshan County?
Apart from these two things, Zhao Tai couldn't think of any other means they could use. The aristocratic family had already been forced to the point where there was nothing they could do.
Hearing that Zhao Tai asked You Kan to send letters and post notices to the counties in Changshan, Jin Jie knew that this little trick had been completely disintegrated.
Except for wealthy households from aristocratic families who would hate their teeth, the common people would only cheer. Even if the farm tools cost money to buy, they would be happy if they didn’t know when they would be sold.
Only wealthy households from aristocratic families will be harmed, and hundreds of thousands of people will be benefited. With this incident, who can incite the people to riot by speech.
It was hard before, and it's only going to be harder now.
As a county official, and even a high-level official of a county, it was no secret to Jin Jie and the others that Zhao Tai had a department specializing in communication and intelligence.
Other places need to spread the news quickly, and he can do it here without even going out of the government office. Jin Jie has no doubt that the government's announcement will spread throughout the entire Changshan County in less than a day.
It is precisely because of this that the family has never dared to act rashly, and was forced to do nothing by Zhao Tai.
"When I was in Montenegro, I received news that there are more than a dozen scholars who are really judging Changshan's political affairs. They have a lot of doubts about this official. I don't know what you think of this matter."
Zhao Tai's question was obviously superfluous, the reason why those scholars came to Zhending was not just for Zhao Tai.
There are even some people who can become Zhao Tai's subordinates as long as Zhao Tai waved his hand.
Talking and judging political affairs every day is to show his ability and knowledge, so that Zhao Tai has some awareness of their talents.
People who speak out loud but have mediocre abilities didn't show up, and these people who came were still very cautious.
Smart people and capable people will not do stupid things that will destroy their future.
That's right, they thought they had a future in Zhao Tai's place, so they ran to Zhao Tai's place to show off from various places, and it was best to seek an official position.
Even Zhao Tai didn't expect that he now has the capital to let the scholars take the initiative to hug their thighs, even if he only has one county.
"My lord, my subordinates see that those scholars are here to seek an official from the lord. As long as the lord has a piece of paper to collect documents, or go to recruit them in person, the dozen or so scholars will definitely agree with me."
Qi Zhou said that's what he said, but he didn't have any hope that Zhao Tai would recruit those people, or recruit them himself.
Unless Zhao Tai lets go of his prejudices and accepts the group of aristocratic families, let alone a dozen or so scholars, even hundreds of scholars will agree with each other.
But is it possible?If he wanted to do this, he wouldn't have trouble with the aristocratic families in Changshan County.
"The officials in this county are enough, so why do we need to recruit new people? Since they are willing to come and say, as long as it is not too much, then don't worry about it."
No one was surprised, not even his expression changed, because this was extremely normal.
It just made Jin Jie, the subordinate officials from the aristocratic family class, even more uneasy. They were not sure about Zhao Tai's attitude before, but now they are very clear.
He doesn't like the family.
This was the idea that Jin Jie and the others involuntarily came up in their minds, and an unprecedented sense of crisis spread throughout their bodies.
If these groups of them do not change, there will be an abyss that will never be restored.
Jin Jie moved his lips, wanting to ask Zhao Tai why he didn't want to see the family, but he still didn't dare to ask.
Knowing is one thing, asking is another.
If even the last fig leaf is revealed, it is not certain that Zhao Tai will immediately do something that Jin Jie and others do not want to face.
When the council dispersed, Zhao Tai stepped down from the main seat and looked out the door. Qi Zhou stood beside Zhao Tai and sighed softly.
"My lord, why don't you wait a little longer, pushing the aristocratic family too hard will be harmful to Changshan County."
He knows the power of the family too well, once he is forced to the point of no return, Changshan will definitely be in chaos for a while, and the current situation is so good that Qi Zhou instinctively wants to maintain it.
"Things have reached this point, so there is nothing to slow down. They have been unable to bear it since the sale of iron farm tools, so why bother to be secretive? It will be better after the changes today."
As soon as I finished speaking, it began to rain lightly outside, and the sound of raindrops gradually became louder, making the roof tiles rattle.
"There will be a good harvest this year, the rain is good."
Here Zhao Tai is looking at the rain scene, but on the other side there is another scene in Tai'an restaurant.
Those ten or so scholars were sitting by the window, drinking and eating, enjoying themselves.
Originally, at this time, they should be exchanging knowledge, commenting on the general trend of the world, and talking about it.
But now, no one spoke at all, and the delicacies on the table didn't seem to interest them. They looked calm, but looked towards the street from time to time, feeling disappointed every time they looked.
"Gonghe seems to be calm and relaxed, and is not surprised that Zhao Taishou didn't show up."
By the window, there were two people sitting opposite each other, playing Go under the rain.
The two are Tian Feng and Ju Shou, and I don't know why, maybe because of their knowledge and insights, they became like friends.
Because of this, the two of them sat alone, seemingly separated by an invisible distance from the others.
"What's the surprise? Yuan Hao is the same."
Jushou chuckled lightly, as if he only had eyes for the chess game and nothing else.
"From the point of view of the public, will the prefect Zhao conscript us and other scholars, or come to recruit them himself?"
"Yuan Hao already has the answer in his heart, why bother to ask me again."
After a while, neither of them said a word, and it was not until Ju Shou won the game and picked up the chess pieces that the silence was broken.
"When will we go?"
"Just these two days, I want to wait."
The questions were endless and the answers were vague.
Jushou knew that Tian Feng already had the intention of leaving. After all, it was not difficult for them to understand Zhao Tai's attitude and know what he was going to do.
Even for a straightforward person like Tian Feng, it is so difficult to say the words "wait a little longer".
"I'm afraid he won't come. Don't forget that you and I also come from aristocratic families. I thought that by coming here I could surrender to a British master, not only show my ambitions, but also follow the general trend and become a minister of the dragon. I didn't expect that. If Zhao Ding'an hates us so much, the world will probably be shaken."
In the past few days since they came to Zhending, they have learned a lot of things, and even marveled at the current situation of Changshan County more than once.
There are many places where they can talk for a long time, and they have a kind of idea that they must contribute to Zhao Tai.
But the deeper the understanding, the more Tian Feng felt hiccupped.
He never thought that there would be people who hated the family, to the point where they had to die.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the status and role of scholars has been an existence that cannot be ignored by a dynasty. It may not be that important to win the hearts of the people.
It just so happens that this person is good in everything in their opinion, has a huge advantage, and wants to fight against the family and scholars, what is he trying to do.
"I want to go to the government office to visit Zhao Taishou tomorrow. If it can save us and my family from the disaster of swordsmanship, that would be the best."
Jushou looked calm, he wanted to try his best to persuade Zhao Tai, otherwise there would be no room for redemption when something happened.
"Publicity and high righteousness, it is better to go together, if it can be successful, it will be a beautiful thing."
They are not as single as Tian Yu, because they are different from the kind of poor people who are capable but have nothing.
Zhao Tai wanted to fight against the family, and they couldn't sit back and watch Zhao Tai attack the family.
This is not a matter of one family, but a matter of the interests of all the families in the world.
As a vested interest, the concept of family world is deeply rooted in every cell. If Zhao Tai wants to revolutionize their lives, let alone surrender, he will not hesitate to fight with his life.
The original purpose of coming to Zhende has been fully understood and thrown out of the sky. From testing Zhao Tai, the intention to contribute to it has become admonishing, and life and death have been ignored.
"I'm afraid Taishou Zhao doesn't want to see you."
Tian Feng suddenly said something, which made Ju Shou give him a helpless look. This was indeed true, but saying it at this time wouldn't hurt morale.
"If you don't see me waiting to make plans that morning, I think there is a storm in the dark place of Changshan, but this matter will not shake the rule of Zhao Taishou. There may be hope for internal and external cooperation."
"Our aristocratic family must not be destroyed by his hands."
The more he understood, the more he couldn't accept it.
He came with hope, but gave him a huge disappointment. If his mentality is not out of balance, he has a strong psychological quality.
"Where in this world is there any foreign cooperation? It's just you and me?"
"In my opinion, we should leave as soon as possible, find other people to assist and accumulate strength, and resist their power is the best strategy. But now we can't do anything. It's no different from trying to waste all your energy."
Two people with extraordinary resourcefulness came for Zhao Tai, and they all agreed to find a way to deal with him. The world is always so unpredictable.
