Chapter 772 Pulling the tiger’s skin to pull up the banner
In the lobby of the "Town Office", Xi Junmai hung a calligraphy that Fang Jun had just written and framed on the wall behind the main desk.
Pei Xingjian, who was standing in the hall, looked solemn.
"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, officials will not dare to be arrogant; if I am honest, the people will not dare to bully. Publicity breeds wisdom, and honesty breeds authority."
This calligraphy is called "Official Admonition" by Fang Jun. It is still the font that Fang Jun is best at. The strokes are round and beautiful, the frame is square, the strokes are drawn, the strokes are drawn, and the horizontal strokes are relatively stretched. In the meantime, it looks beautiful and moving, but it is not solemn and gentle. It can be said that the writing is precise and every word is exquisite.
This thirty-six-character "Guan Zhi" can be said to be every word of warning and every sentence of medicine.
It is interpreted that the most important two points as the foundation of an official are: one is publicity; the other is integrity.
The respect of my subordinates does not depend on whether I am strict but on whether I am honest; the people trust me not on whether I am talented but on whether I am fair in doing things. If you are fair, the people will not dare to be disrespectful; if you are honest, your 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 thirty-six words, Pei Xingjian suddenly realized that it was not difficult to be a good official, it was just fair and honest. But at the same time, he knew deeply that Fang Jun stood aside and asked: "What do you think?"
Pei Xingjian praised: "It seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult. It is easy to understand, but it is extremely difficult to do it."
Fang Jun chuckled: "Things must rot first, and then insects will grow. Let's keep the promise and encourage each other! In fact, this sentence is for others to read, not my true thoughts. I have always believed that being an official is not afraid of corruption. Just afraid of not doing anything.”
"What's the point of this?" Pei Xingjian stared.
"That is to say, which one is more beneficial to the people, an official who is upright but pedantic and incompetent, or a corrupt official who is greedy but tries his best in everything?"
"Corrupt officials are the worms of the country. The empire overthrows because of them, and everyone will punish them! Honest officials benefit the people, and they are honest and honest, which is the welfare of all people. How can the marquis put the cart before the horse and not distinguish right from wrong?" Pei Xingjian said angrily, with big eyes. Zhang was gesticulating, wanting to smash the head of the Marquis into pieces to see if there was a bug in his brain, which was why he was talking nonsense?
Fang Jun shrugged, not wanting to argue with Pei Xingjian, and said lightly: "My child, you are still too young. This dangerous world is by no means black and white as you think. It is full of too many grays."
< br>
Pei Xingjian was still about to argue when a fragrant breeze passed by the door. A pretty girl in white ran in, took Fang Jun's hand and said excitedly: "What's for lunch? I want to eat fried noodles!"
The little girl had been doted on by her tribe since she was a child, and lived in seclusion and seclusion. She had no idea about the protection between men and women, so she took Fang Jun's hand without hesitation. The soft little hand had a smooth touch, which made her feel uncomfortable. Fang Jun, an "old driver", was heartbroken and said warmly: "Not today. There is a distinguished guest coming at noon and he wants to host a banquet."
Pei Xingjian, who was about to argue with Fang Jun, rolled his eyes when he saw this. He and Xi Junmai silently looked up at the roof, not the beams, and secretly despised him.
The Marquis is so shameless. The little girl in the Yu Ming family has no sense and is a glutton. The Marquis deliberately makes some weird food to lure the little girl, and then takes the opportunity to touch her little hands to take advantage...
I just wonder if the old man of the Yu Ming family, who has such an all-knowing power, knows about it. Would it be possible to castrate this bastard like you?
When Yu Mingxue heard this, she pouted. She was extremely uninterested in those formal banquets. Instead, she was interested in simple but unique foods such as fried noodles and scallion pancakes made by Fang Jun. She would eat a lot every time. It has become rounder, and my flat belly has become thicker...
Fang Jun didn't know the contempt in the hearts of Pei Xingjian and others. If he knew it, he would definitely cry out for injustice. Is our second roommate that kind of person? It's just because this stinky girl always steals her own room to sleep in and kicks her out, so she deliberately makes all kinds of delicious food and feeds her fat as revenge.
But he seemed to have forgotten that this was the Tang Dynasty, an era where "fatness" was regarded as beauty, and the whole world was different from his "slender waist and long legs" aesthetic...
At noon, Fang Fang personally led a group of "thugs" to greet Kong Yingda at the pier.
Old Man Kong had already retired from office a month ago and resigned from all official positions. For this reason, His Majesty Li Er was still unhappy.
Earlier, the room had sent an invitation to Kong Yingda, asking him to take up the post of commemorator of the soon-to-be-established Naval Academy. At that time, Kong Yingda said he would consider it. Fang Jun thought this was just the old man's polite words, and he just refused him politely.
Unexpectedly, just one month after taking office, the old man went south to Suzhou and came to Huating Town. Fang Jun was naturally overjoyed.
As the leader of the Confucian sect in the world, the Shandong Confucian family not only accepted Confucianism as the orthodoxy in the world, but also awarded titles and titles to those in power in various dynasties. In the ninth year of Wude, Confucius was conferred the title of "Tongbao Holy Marquis".
Although Kong Yingda is not the head of the Kong family, he is still a direct descendant of Confucius, and he is the most famous person in the Kong family today. Regardless of the fact that his knowledge is arrogant in today's world, the name of Confucius's direct grandson alone is enough to serve as a wine sacrificer at the Naval Academy. At the very least, it is more than enough to be the "mascot" of the town...
The old man, who was about seventy years old, had gray hair and was wearing a light silk shirt. He jumped off the bow of the boat and stepped onto the trestle. He still walked steadily and energetically. He pushed away Fang Jun's hand that was stretched out to join him, and said as if he was displeased: "I haven't reached the point where I need help from others. I can't afford to use this hypocrisy on others."
Fang Jun was not embarrassed. He smiled and said: "You have lived for such a long time, what can't you see? This junior just wants to show the joy in his heart and make you feel at home, but you don't even have this chance. It’s really embarrassing for juniors.”
Kong Yingda sneered: "Are you embarrassed? Looking at Guanzhong, I will never find anyone thicker-skinned than you."
Fang Jun glared and said, "How is that possible? Duke Zhao is much thicker-skinned than the younger generation. You were just deceived by his hypocritical smile like the Maitreya Buddha."
Kong Yingda pointed at Fang Jun, extremely speechless.
Everyone knew that Fang Jun was at odds with the eldest grandson's family, but was it necessary to make fun of eldest grandson Wuji like this?
Walking along the trestle and walking along the long street that had just been paved with cement along the river, Kong Yingda looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest as he walked. At this time, a large number of refugees and civilians from nearby areas have come to work, but they are still far from the manpower required by Fang Jun, and the materials required for various constructions are being allocated from various places, so large-scale construction cannot yet be carried out. Therefore, a piece of open space was set aside on the west bank of Wusong River to build houses. Otherwise, when there are more and more people in the future, accommodation will become a big problem.
At noon, a banquet was held for Kong Yingda and his party in the town office.
"To be honest, you are here a little early. The construction of the school has not yet started. If you want to officially start classes, it will have to be next spring. Moreover, everything here has just begun, and the conditions are really difficult. In my heart, this junior Terrified.”
After drinking for three rounds, Fang Jun said with an "I'm thinking about you" look.
Kong Yingda is an old man, how could you listen to him fart? Immediately sneered: "You are becoming more and more hypocritical, which is not good. I am afraid that I wish I had come here early. With my sign here, you will have more reliance on recruiting talents. But having said that, Come back, how much do you plan to sell this name to me?”
Sure enough, "people are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery", the old thing is so happy that he becomes a sperm...
Fang Jun said sarcastically: "Look at what you said, why is it so ugly? Of course it is impossible to sell you for money, but you are compiling the "Five Classics of Justice", so the junior let the news out, saying that you planned to recruit people from all over the world. Confucian students exclude Confucian classics The internal views of the family masters, such as the theory of masters, were selected from among the many schools of thought to select the best one, widely collected in preparation for the Expo, ending all kinds of disputes since the Western Han Dynasty, abandoning the regional prejudices of Southern and Northern studies, being compatible with the Bai family, and integrating the North and the South... ”
Kong Yingda's eyes bulged, and his beard was trembling with anger!
"Five Classics of Justice" was Kong Yingda's life-long effort. He wanted to use this book to be famous for future generations, but Fang Jun made it something that everyone in the world knew and wanted to get involved in. In this way, even if this book is successfully compiled, it is not due to me alone!
Lao Kong was so angry that he wanted to beat this bastard to death...
Isn't this trying to pull off a tiger's skin? (End of chapter)
