In the 36th year of Kangxi, Ma De was transferred to Anhui as a governor. He experienced many things and was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan six years later. Until now, he has been in the three provinces of Jiangnan for a full fourteen years.

In fourteen years, he had completely taken root in the three provinces of Jiangnan. His subordinates were also strong due to years of search and training. Although Lu Longqi, Shi Shilun and others were transferred, no one dared to deny his influence in the three provinces of Jiangnan and even all surrounding provinces.

But then again, although Ma De's subordinates are very good, will these people listen to him in everything? This answer is difficult for others to determine, but Ma De himself is very clear that none of his subordinates will follow him in the same way as Hei'er.

This does not mean that his subordinates are so unfaithful. Ma De believes that if something happens to him, most of these people will do their best to protect him and plead for him. A young man like Li Lin and Tian Wenjing may do even more. But, more importantly, compared to him, these people must be more loyal to Kangxi and the so-called Qing Dynasty. Because most of these people are deeply influenced by Confucianism. Whether it is Yang Mingshi, Li Fu, Fan Shiyi and others, it is like this. If someone is not like this, then those people must be quite selfish and more loyal to themselves, such as Zhang Kai. This is how human nature is, and you cannot be demanding.

Ma De naturally had a clear understanding of these things. Therefore, he cultivated these subordinates and promoted them. Because these people are talented people. And under a common and open goal, these people can become his excellent support. And with the siege of these subordinates, even those who are interested in it will be difficult to use this matter to be considered as a ill-thinking person or to cultivate his own power. Because most of the people around him are "gentleman and little "good officials" with regular behavior. In many cases, these people focus on the interests of the court, the country and the local government, and cultivate such people to be their own power. Are they stupid? Even if he has the will and cultivates these people, he cannot make them his own private power...

However, because these people are very capable and most of them are honest, they will inevitably become talents that Kangxi values ​​and needs very much. However, as the status of these people increases, his political status will inevitably rise. At that time, if anyone wants to touch him or do something wrong with him, he must take a good look at the situation. Because even if these officials who have been promoted from Jiangnan will not become political forces in their place, they will also take away his influence. Sometimes, influence alone will do many things, and influence alone will be enough to make many people afraid.

"Was Ortai gone?"

After the social engagement, Made returned to the backyard. There, his wife Luo Xin and son Xiao De were both there. Their family is a little free now. Because as they come to this Qing Dynasty longer and their status is becoming more and more stable and growing, they have many things they no longer need to do in person, so there is more time. Fortunately, they still have many things to consider, and it is not too boring.

Of course. This is not to say that their son.

"Yes. Let's go!" Hearing Luo Xin's question, Ma De responded, found a chair and sat up, reached out and waved to his son, "Boy, have you finished your questions today?"

"I haven't finished it!" The chubby Ma Xiaoyane sat next to his mother, crossing his legs, and had no intention of moving his nest at all, and he answered with great shamelessness.

"Not finished? Silly brat, you don't want to eat anymore, right?" Ma De said with a glaring look.

"If you don't eat, don't eat it. Anyway, I've eaten it almost all today!" Xiao De raised his nostrils to the sky and patted his slightly bulging belly: "I can't eat it anymore."

"...You are really foresighted. Well, I will punish you for three days not to eat! I see if you can eat for three days." Ma De sneered at his son.

"I said dad, aren't you? You really won't let your meal last three days?" Xiao De immediately asked with a bitter face.

"When did you see me stop talking?" Ma De said proudly.

"Okay!" Xiao De suddenly smiled deceitfully, "Dad, since you don't allow me to eat, can I eat snacks?"

“…”

"Okay, you father and son know how to argue all day long. You don't feel annoyed!...Xiao De, go and play first, mom has something to say to your father." Seeing that Ma De was dumbed by his son, Luo Xin smiled and said.

"Oh, let's go play!" Xiao De heard his mother say something, immediately jumped up from the seat, looked at his father proudly, made a face, and ran out with a "swoosh". After running for a short distance, he even made a little flip.

...

"Wife, I think it's really a bit of a waste of energy to ask you to take care of your son... Otherwise, you can rest for two days?" Ma De saw Xiao De jumping out of the yard, smiled helplessly and smiled at Luo Xin.

"Why? I want to take revenge now? Your Ma Dashuai is a little too small, right?" Luo Xin smiled. Of course, she knew that her husband was giving in to his son just now. Otherwise, even if Xiao De learned it smoothly, would he still be able to gain a advantage in front of Ma De, a real human being? Several people came to the Qing Dynasty and had only had such a child for more than ten years. Although they had to teach well, the child was still young and there was no time to hurt him. How could they bear to let him bear too much burden? In fact, there were not many questions just now, and Xiao De had finished it, but since he could speak, Ma De liked to make fun of his son, and the father and son had already developed this habit.

"Ma Dashuai Ma? Haha, I like this name. But... who said I'm a little bitchy?

Why don't you, your wife?" Ma De smiled and took off his clothes when he was doing his posture.

"Go and go, how old are you? You still have this trick? It's not embarrassing." Luo Xin reached out and hit her, and spat.

"Haha, old couple, what's so shy about it..." Ma De stopped with a smile, moved the chair closer to Luo Xin, and said to his wife. Although he was too anxious to marry Luo Xin, Yu Zhong and Mo Jing at the beginning, and the four of them had no real emotional foundation in advance. However, they were all visitors from another world and were in the officialdom, and knew that in this environment, they had to work together and live carefully, otherwise they might capsize together.

Therefore, after getting married, they not only worked closely with each other, but also tried their best tolerate each other in their temper. As a result, it has been more than 20 years, and although they have been making trouble, the relationship between the two couples is still extremely strong.

"I won't make trouble with you!" Luo Xin smiled and pushed Ma De's head farther away. "I heard that the Anhui governor Yang Mingshi promoted you to be transferred, too?"

"That's right." Hearing Luo Xin talk about the serious matter, Ma De put away his joking attitude, "This person is a student of Li Guangdi, and he is very capable, and is highly valued by Kangxi. Kangxi seemed to be planning to transfer him to Yunnan. He said he was helping Brother Yu. But in my opinion, there is still a restriction. After all, compared to us, he trusts Li Guangdi more."

"I heard that Yang Mingshi was a man in power very moderately. All ethnic groups in Yunnan lived in a group, and there were many things, especially the ethnic conflicts were very serious. Having such a person over there was indeed a great help to me.

With your relationship, the two should be able to get along. As for the restrictive relationship, I think Kangxi made a mistake in his plan. If Brother Yu really wants to do something, how can he live in a place where only two or three people can restrict it?" Luo Xin smiled.

"That's it! However, with two examples of being a voluntary soldier, people will probably be seen closely in everything Brother Yu does in the future. Therefore, if Brother Yu wants to do something extraordinary in Yunnan and Guizhou, it is probably not as easy as before." Ma De said.

"It's not easy. Are you afraid of anyone else? Besides, even if Brother Yu makes any moves, it's probably going to be a future. We don't have to worry about him now." Luo Xin smiled and asked Ma De: "Who are the people from Jiangnan this time Kangxi plans to mobilize? Since he has only sent one Ortai to be the governor of Jiangsu, there shouldn't be many people he can move, right?"

"It's hard to say." Ma De shook his head. The last time Kangxi summoned him to the capital, and also attended the Tiren Pavilion banquet celebrating the 50th year of Kangxi's ascension to the throne. After that, Kangxi asked him about recommending many officials from Jiangnan provinces, but Kangxi did not make any decisions at the beginning. He was not easy to guess. After all, Kangxi's thoughts have always been very elusive. The main reason why they were able to succeed repeatedly in the past was that they had correctly estimated the other party's thoughts in the general direction, so they were not finally eliminated. But if they had a specific matter, even if there was a definite news, it would be difficult to final conclusion.

"Then do you think Kangxi is possible to transfer you away?" Luo Xin suddenly asked Ma De again.

"Me?" Ma De was stunned, then shook his head again, "This possibility is too small. Kangxi would not do so randomly."

"What?" Luo Xin asked back.

"Jiangnan is the source of taxation in the Qing Dynasty and the top priority. Although he has many places to serve as a source of wealth now, no matter Manchuria or other places, it is still impossible to compare with Jiangnan. Especially in the years we have been in Jiangnan, the development of these three provinces is obvious to all. Before no one can truly succeed me, I believe that Kangxi would not transfer me away no matter what. Don't forget that without me being in this place, such a big piece of fat meat in Jiangnan would definitely be eaten by people. Not to mention the current good situation, if something goes wrong, he will not be able to afford it." Ma De said.

"It's a mess... If it were just the three provinces of Jiangnan, it might not be enough. Even if it was a mess, it would be difficult for the Qing court. At worst, they could sweep away our efforts for more than ten years to restore Jiangnan to its original appearance. Anyway, the Qing court's actions are experts and good at doing things." Luo Xin suddenly sneered.

"Why did you say this suddenly?" Ma De looked at Luo Xin in surprise, feeling a little incredible about his wife's sudden attitude. Although they had never had any good feelings for the Qing court, they had to bow their heads under the roof.

However, most of the time, they regard themselves as a group of outsiders and a group of bystanders. Although they intervened, they did not show any extreme attitude. Anyway, they did things and the end result would only be natural. Anyway, no matter how bad things were, they would not be able to become a semi-colonial situation in another world. Therefore, they no longer had the inexplicable sense of historical responsibility when they first came. What they did was not so much out of a responsibility, but rather out of some inertia, moving towards their goals for many years. However, Luo Xin had just expressed that he seemed to have a sense of resentment towards the Qing court. This made Ma De feel a little puzzled.

"Hmph. It's not a big deal. I just heard that you didn't know it's right." Luo Xin sighed and said a little lonely: "Do you know? Last month, a businessman built a textile factory in his hometown in Jiangxi. One of the workers recruited was a woman from a local clan. The clan was said to be a scholarly family. As a result, the elders of the clan thought that the woman had lost her ancestors' face, and not only forced the people back, but also smashed the factory."

"Is this happening?" Ma De's face darkened and he asked in a deep voice.

"I don't need to lie to you." Luo Xin said sadly: "Now the local people, especially many clans, are still very powerful. These people are also conservative. Especially those leaders, they all regard the family rules and their faces higher than the sky. Although there has not been too many things before and there is no major event, these people. The strength of these clans is definitely not smaller than the government represented by the Qing court. Moreover, the things we made before are acceptable, but once the steam engine is used, it may arouse opposition from most people. The older the antiques, the harder it is to accept."

"You make sense." Made was also calmed down by Luo Xin's words. Moreover, he also thought of more aspects. Nowadays, the commerce and handicrafts of the three provinces of Jiangnan, as well as the so-called factories, were all built under the guise of "seeking profit for the people". It is not easy to develop to its current scale. However, it is precisely because of this. Under his protection, these things in the capital market have not yet collided with the old forces, or have not yet had a contest that should have been there. Moreover, the so-called so-called factories and many things in the previous ones have found many reasons, and because of Jiangnan, he has found many reasons for the so-called factories and many things. Moreover, he has found many reasons for the previous so-called factories and many things, and because of Jiangnan, he has not yet collided with the old forces, or has not had a competition that should have existed. Moreover, he has found many reasons for the so-called factories and many things in the past, and because of Jiangnan, he has found many reasons for the so-called factories and many things.

There are many weaving factories that have existed for many years, and those old forces have accepted it without opposition. But if one day he no longer stayed in the position of Governor of Jiangnan, the capital market he developed has no shelter. Moreover, the real industrial power equipment of steam engines has also been used, will it still be a relatively peaceful situation now? You know, for the vast majority of ordinary people today, the use of hydraulic machinery is acceptable. At most, it is believed that the people who make those things are superb, but the real industrial power of steam engines may make it difficult for those people to accept. Even if some people say that steam engines are monsters, it is absolutely possible.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Luo Xin asked again. Although the steam engine has settled, it may not be possible to settle down in Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan is not Manchuria. In the north, Old Man Fei has been the power of guarding for more than ten years and driven by huge interests, and those princes and nobles have taken the lead. As long as you understand it, it is not difficult to promote the steam engine. But Jiangnan is different. It is said that "the Jiangnan has thousands of mountains, rivers, and talents." After years of development, this place has surpassed the north, become Confucian culture, and is also feudal.

Base Camp. Although the people here are more flexible than those in other places, they are also more rigid and conservative than in other places. In this case, can real industry develop? If it cannot be developed, then her and Ma De's efforts for more than ten years will be finally ruined. In addition, this Qing Dynasty was an expert in doing something wrong, and maybe she would really give up the current good situation and go back to the old path. In that case, the five of them may have done a vain in the past twenty years.

"Perhaps, we should let them fight. In any case, we have to give those 'capitalists a little confidence. What do you think?" After a while, Ma De raised his head and said to Luo Xin. He suddenly felt very discouraged. He had never thought that after years of hard work, he ignored this point. He was just dealing with the Qing court above, but forgot about the civil forces below.

"This is a bit dangerous... and we may not be able to take action easily. In that case, we will not be able to train." Luo Xin thought for a while and said.
