As night falls, the garden is filled with cups of wine, which is very lively.

Fan Zhongyan was a little disappointed. He did not expect that he and Yan Shu had pleaded for Ouyang Xiu. Xu Ping still did not appreciate it, and his attitude towards Ouyang Xiu was a bit stricter. According to his previous impression of dating, Xu Ping was still a very easy-to-talk person and rarely had such a situation today. It can only be said that Ouyang Xiuzhen violated Xu Ping's taboo this time.

What is wrong with judging people by facts? The most important thing in governing a country is to advance the virtuous and retreat the virtuous, and use the people. If you don’t first distinguish who is a gentleman and who is a villain, how can you select the right talents?

As a minister, one must first cultivate oneself, be virtuous and be fully qualified, and then serve as a wise ruler. If one only discusses matters and rewards and punishments according to the merits of the work, how can one prevent villains from stealing to a high position? In terms of his ability to do things, in recent decades, how many people have been comparable to the powerful prime minister Ding Wei? According to Xu Ping, wouldn’t the situation of “five ghosts in power” appear again in decades?

A real man takes the world as his responsibility, and even if there are thousands of people, I will go! Cultivate oneself in the inner world, obtain the way of a saint, understand the principles of heaven and earth, use the great way to assist the wise king, benefit the people, govern the country, and pacify the world, who else can I do?

This is the saint inside and the king outside!

Fan Zhongyan commented on Kou Huai: "The world is called great loyalty in the world." This is not a casual statement, but the meaning behind it is very clear. The emperor is a wise monarch, so he assists the emperor with the help of the emperor. When the country is in danger, the ministers should stand up and turn the tide without hesitation. At this time, even if the emperor is seized, he is still great loyalty.

If a gentleman stands above the court, he will take on his shoulders the great responsibility of the world, and he will uphold the emperor and the court. Those who are timid towards the emperor and only know how to flatter the emperor are not only loyal ministers, but also traitors. Especially those who are traitors who are inferior to the people and those who are superior to the king are also traitors among the great traitors. Judging people by facts, isn’t this a way to promote traitors? Moreover, this path is particularly beneficial to villains. If a gentleman insists on principles, he will naturally offend people. How can he compare to villains who bully the lower and be charmed by the superiors?

If you want to have a clear and peaceful era, the first thing you have to do is to distinguish who is a gentleman and who is a villain!

When Fan Zhongyan returned to the capital this time, he realized that Lu Yijian was a villain and a traitor of the world. He had to drive him out of the court at all costs. He instigated the emperor to depose the empress and disrupt the morality of the world. Is there anything worse than this? Those who do this to charm the emperor and consolidate his power are naturally the villains among the villains!

Lu Yijian is powerful and has many followers, and if he wants to talk about things and bring him down, it is a task that cannot be accomplished. The only feasible thing is to judge the mind by his words and judge the people by things, proving that he is a despicable villain. How can a villain be the prime minister?

Fan Zhongyan did not understand Xu Ping, and Xu Ping also did not understand Fan Zhongyan.

You are sages inside and kings outside, you understand the great way. You are familiar with the principles of yin and yang in the world. You can't do anything else? Then where have you read this book? By judging people by facts, who will stipulate what you do means what your thoughts? What IQ is it? You should look for examples from old papers like a lawsuit and use cases to convince others? It would be strange if the world is not messed up at this point. There are the Censorate, the Censorate, and various supervisory institutions. If you have something to say, what are you afraid of villains in power and harming the world. If you are all gentlemen, what do you still need these supervisory institutions to do? They are just gentlemen and villains?

If nothing unexpected happens, those who insist on the party of gentlemen will inevitably abolish the supervision agency. It’s very simple. I am a gentleman in power. If you talk about it, you will naturally be a despicable villain.

When governing a country, you must first distinguish between gentlemen and villains. This idea sounds noble, but when it is really used, it is a confusing account. God can't tell which one is a gentleman in this world, which one is a villain, when is a gentleman, and when is a villain.

If you stick to this, you think that you are standing higher than the sky and seeing farther than the sea, and your position is still above the sky.

Cai Qi was in his prime and was about to enter the Political Affairs Hall. When he was about to make some achievements, he was particularly interested in everything in Xuping Village. From the creation of the Zhuangzi to the step-by-step development, various plans, and everything was asked.

Xu Ping answered one by one. He knew in his heart that although Cai Qi had been living in prefectures and counties for a long time, he had never seen such a unique Zhuangzi. Understanding it would also be beneficial for him to handle political affairs by himself.

Li Zi is old, just drinking fruit wine while drinking, occasionally interrupting and saying a word or two. I remember that he was the sugar shop in Xu Ping's house that he had come forward to collect, which was considered a good relationship. Xu Ping was only in his teenage years at that time and looked a little awkward. Before he knew it, nearly ten years have passed, and the young boy back then has grown up, and now he can sit with him and chat and laugh at his heart. The world is changing.

The night was getting darker because I had something to do the next day and didn't drink much.

Xu Ping sent several priests to rest. I wonder if it was an illusion, but I felt that Fan Zhongyan was obviously a little distant from him, so I didn't care. Ouyang Xiu was close to him, so I still felt unhappy.

What is the solution? Everyone has their own persistence, so why bother to distinguish between right and wrong?

Early the next morning, Xu Ping arrived in the garden. The new rooms were built here. The yard built at the beginning seemed messy and was not suitable for guests with status.

Wang Gongchen and Liu Han were standing by the lotus pond chatting, and seeing Xu Ping coming, they hurriedly greeted him.

Xu Ping said to Wang Gongchen: "I haven't seen you for many days. There were too many people yesterday and I didn't talk to you. Are you still used to going to Dongming these days? Just look at it and it's autumn, and I'm going to harvest rice."

"Fortunately, although there are some minor troubles, the farming and farming work is still smooth. After autumn, I guess I will have 100,000 s of new rice this year. The first year is a bit disappointing."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "The first year is to lay the foundation, open up roads, dig trenches and channels. As long as the foundation is laid well, it is possible to double every year. Do it patiently and don't be in a hurry."

Wang Gongchen shook his head: "Where is it so easy? I can't compare to the waiting and I'm extremely skilled in the farmland. I have to learn while doing it, and come step by step."

Liu Han patted Wang Gongchen on the shoulder: "June, the land management is done well, just like Deputy Envoy Xu's sugar management in Yongzhou. Your future is unlimited!"

"It's hard, it's hard!" Wang Gongchen shook his head and sighed.

One of them was the top scorer in the eighth year of Tiansheng, and the other was the third place in the Jinshi. They had some friendship in the same year and spoke casually.

At that time, Xu Ping recommended Wang Gongchen as the field affairs manager for the promotion of the field affairs manager. He went to the post excitedly, thinking that with the guidance of Xu Ping and the example of Zhongmu Field Village, even if Xu Ping could not do the sugar service in Yongzhou, it would be easy to make some political achievements? In the first year, 500,000 shi of rice and one million shi in the second year, for three years, half of the grain transported from the Jianghuai River could be provided by the field affairs manager. How much manpower and material resources has been saved? With this political achievements, with the support of his father-in-law Xue Kui, he could reach the peak of his life from now on. Only when he really did it, he realized that it was not that easy. After polishing for more than half a year, he matured a lot.

Xu Ping patted Wang Gongchen on the shoulder: "Do not be impatient when doing things steadily. What you fear most is impetuousness. As long as you calm down and do it bit by bit, the harvest you get may surprise you."

Han Qi and Wang Su just washed up and came out together. When they saw Xu Ping and others here, they came over to chat together.

Xu Ping asked Wang Su: "What is the business of the Qunmusi Department? It's the season now, and in a few months, there will be fewer horses breeding. The season does not wait for people, and it is impossible to be careless."

Wang Su shook his head and sighed like Wang Gongchen: "Since you used your method of semen, it's amazing. In previous years, a horse prison could breed dozens of horses, which was a military academy to grazed. This year, my god, hundreds of horse prisons around Kaifeng Prefecture have breeded, and the original martial arts prison was said to have more than a thousand. There are so many ponies, and there are only a few people under the clerks. How can we take care of them? During this period, we were suing the Privy Council and wanted to transfer people. The Privy Council was stuck in the Privy Council and refused to add people, so we had to go to the surrounding counties and hired them. Yunxing, tell me, this pony has not grown yet and cannot be sold for money. There are no rewards from above before the time comes. The extra grass requires money, and the hired personnel also requires money everywhere! We have too many horses, where can we find this money?"

Wang Gongchen excitedly pulled Wang Su's sleeve: "I have the forage there, so I can go to the Qunmusi Department for credit!"

"Are you serious?" Wang Su looked at Wang Gongchen with disbelief on his face.

"Of course it's true! I planted a lot of alfalfa and raised ground power according to the method of restoration. After harvesting, it was pressed into a bale. I also raised cattle and sheep in the field business, but how much is it used? There is a lot of grass left now!"

Wang Su didn't expect that there would be such a thing. He let out a sigh and said to Wang Gongchen: "If so, you have helped us a lot! The fodder needed this year suddenly skyrocketed, but we were worried a few of us. It was okay in the past two months, and the new ponies will soon grow up. In the autumn and winter season, where can we find the fodder you lack? It will be easier for you to have it. When I go back this time, I will arrange for someone to transport it."

Wang Gongchen looked stern: "What's the matter? I'll arrange for people to transport the goods? The weeds are on credit for you! The capital and interest must be calculated at the end of the year. The land operation and land use are all money, and every move is required. I can't help but spend a copper coin in half. How can I give it to you for free? If I don't give it to me, I'll keep it for raising sheep next year!"

Xu Ping and Han Qi looked at each other and smiled and refused to speak, allowing the two of them to discuss it themselves.

Although Wang Gongchen was talking to Wang Su in a joking tone, don’t think it’s really a joke. They have their own departmental interests, which are directly related to the political achievements of themselves and others. If they don’t give money, Wang Gongchen really won’t give it.

Wang Su had no choice but to say: "Okay, we'll be on credit. Then I'll write a loan note to you, and the capital and profits are all clear. It's OK, right? You won't pay me back and find someone to protect me!"

This is a loan on official credit, and the superiors always have to allocate money to repay. Wang Su really doesn't believe that anyone in the court dares to insult him in such matters. The big family of the Wang family is not a talk, from the prime minister and the relatives of the court.

Wang Gongchen looked at Xu Ping and Liu Han who were standing aside, thought for a while, then nodded and agreed to Wang Su.

He really wanted Wang Su to find Sansi as a security guard, but in the end he couldn't stand it. Besides, Wang Su was not an ordinary official with no roots and was not afraid that he would be stolen, so he reluctantly agreed.

It’s easy for officials to talk to the Third Division and the Privy Council, but the public officials and servants below are difficult to deal with. If you encounter an official who has no choice but to have no foundation in the court, it’s really difficult to find some money. A blank loan note is not a person like Wang Su, and Wang Gongchen really can’t believe it.
