Chapter 22 Changes

In just one month, the structure of Yunzhou has completely changed. As soon as Ye Hao fell, his cronies naturally lost their support. Although Liu Mo ostensibly promised that they would not continue and investigate, it was still impossible to let go of these backbones who were originally hostile factions at that time.

Because of Ye Tao's previous confession, Liu Mo also has a large number of illegal and disorderly affairs of these officials. When he sits firmly and needs to promote his own people, he will naturally take these people. Therefore, in half a month, dozens of officials who used to hold important positions were ousted. The lucky ones were only demoted, while those with bad luck were directly thrown into prison. The future of this life was completely ruined.

On the other hand, many of the officials who were not valued by Ye Hao have been reused. Liu Mo knows how to stop and will not exempt all officials at Ye Hao's time, which will only bring him unfavorable comments. Therefore, except for those who are close to Ye Hao, others have not been demoted or dismissed, but have been promoted to a certain extent. In this way, it will naturally buy the hearts of these people, and Yunzhou's excessive power will naturally become stable.

Although the final judgment on the two Ye Hao brothers was not the punishment that Liu Mo expected, Liu Mo could only endure the huge Ye family behind them. He knew that although he had a certain advantage, he was still too weak compared with the Ye family. If he really went too far, it was difficult to guarantee that the Ye family would not treat himself. Therefore, after a weighing, he temporarily stopped the attack on the Ye Hao brothers and began to concentrate on political affairs, hoping to make some achievements in the short term, so as to lay a solid foundation for further.

On the other hand, Liu Mo also began to recruit talents who can be used for himself. After all, the Liu family is a thousand-year-old family. Naturally, they understand that if a family wants to prosper, they need foreign aid in addition to their own people. Therefore, after punishing Ye Hao's party members, Liu Mo is kind to other subordinates and good friends, which has also won the favor of most people. And among the people he values most, there is still a place for Xu Jinghong. Although this teenager is still a mine slave and young, it does not prevent Liu Mo from paying attention to him.

The current owner of the mine has been replaced by Liu Mo's brother Liu, who is a very kind middle-aged man. After he took over the management of the mine, he no longer had the harshness of Ye Taoshi. As long as he could complete the tasks assigned by the court, he would no longer force the miners to work day and night, but also gained a lot of gratitude.

Of course, the real person in the mine is still Xu Jinghong. On that day, the fact that he completely killed the Ye Tao brothers in front of officials has been mentioned countless times, and everyone is proud that people like Xu Jinghong are in the same mine with him. Although there are many jealous people among them, they dare not show it on their faces under Xu Jinghong's reputation.

A teenager dared to talk in front of those officials, and finally pretended to be a mine supervisor, and even implicated a state's soldiers and horses. If you say that this is not a legend, is there any legend in the world? In addition, his decision to continue to work in the mine for brotherhood makes many men feel ashamed. Although he is only 16 years old, he has been respected as the eldest brother by many people.

And with Liu Yuan entering the main mine, Xu Jinghong's status has also been improved. Now he does not have to work as hard as an ordinary miner, but has become a pipeman. As for the old dog and Xiong Geng, they also became the little leaders in the mine, which made them even more grateful to Xu Jinghong. If it hadn't been for his original decision, I'm afraid that the two of them would not have come out.

After becoming a plumb, Xu Jinghong also has plenty of time. The mine is no longer his only place of activity. He can also go out from time to time to see the scenery in Yunzhou City, which is the happiest thing for Xu Jinghong. Because he knows that he has gained freedom this time, so soon, he can completely say goodbye to this controlled day and embark on a brand-new road.

But things may not be as expected. On October 13, when Xu Jinghong was walking in the mine to perform his duties, a miner ran over and said, "Brother Hong, the stew manager is looking for you everywhere."

Xu Jinghong couldn't help grinning when he heard the title, because this name sounded like a gangster, but when he carefully thought about the origin of these miners, he was relieved again, but after nodding his head, he asked the man to take himself to find the Liu.

When he came to a separate small courtyard on the edge of the mine, the miner retreated, and Xu Jinghong strode into the empty door. In this mine full of sand and stone, there are many flowers and trees planted here, which is enough to show the willow man's nature. He is a gentle and calm person.

When he heard the door ring, a half-year-old man with a jade-like face came out of a room over there. Although he was only wearing an ordinary gray cloth, it was eye-catching. This man is Liu Mo's younger brother, a new mine stewer named Liu Yuan.

"I've met the stewer, but I don't know why the stewer is in a hurry to find someone to find me?" Xu Jinghong has not dealt with Liu once or twice. Knowing that he is not very polite, he arched his hand slightly and went straight to the point.

"Come on, talk first." Liu smiled at him and made way to enter the door. Xu Jinghong did not refuse, and followed Mr. Liu into his "office" in the mine.

Every time he enters this room, Xu Jinghong sighs in his heart: "This is not a place to have in a dirty and hard-working mine. There are not only many flower pots in it, but also a few shelves of books. This is obviously a study in a rich family." However, he quickly deterrated his mind, and then looked at Liu Yuan, waiting for his words.

Liu was not in a hurry to speak, but first poured himself and Xu Jinghong a cup of fragrant tea, and then put the cup in front of Xu Jinghong. Xu Jinghong was slightly stunned by this kind of style. He had never been treated like this when he came to see him before, so he couldn't help looking at Mr. Liu with doubt.

After tasting a mouthful of tea and touching it again, Liu said, "You must think it's not right for me to grow flowers in this environment, and it's not right to make such a study and taste tea?"

Xu Jinghong smiled bitterly and gave him an acquiescence. He knew that the other party must have his own intention to say so, so he just listened to Liu to continue to see what he wanted to talk to him.

Seeing that Xu Jinghong has been attracted by his own topic, Liu Yuan smiled and continued: "Indeed, these actions are completely unnecessary for the mine and are incompatible with the atmosphere here. But I still did what I wanted, but no one dared to put forward different opinions. Do you know what this means?

"It shows that you are the most powerful in the mine, and no one can stop you from doing what you want." Xu Jinghong gave the most direct answer in his heart, but he knew that the other party's answer would not be so straightforward and simple, and he must have his own statement.

Sure enough, Liu did not wait for Xu Jinghong to give him an answer, but immediately said, "This is the advantage of the situation. It is often said that people have to adapt to the environment, and the environment can subtly change a person, whether it is his personality or others. But I want to tell you that this may not be right. Sometimes people can also change the environment around them with their own abilities, so that the environment can adapt to him, but this requires this person to have enough power.

"I can plant so many flowers on this desolate mine and open up this exquisite study where I can drink tea leisurely. The Ye brothers could avoid the laws of the Song Dynasty before and take property from the mine, which was contrary to the real environment of the mine, but we all did it. Why? Just because we have power, the environment of the mine must change because of us. I let there be no noise around this room, and no one dares to approach it easily. This is the role of potential.

"Xu Jinghong, I can see that you are a smart person, and you should be able to understand what I mean, right? Although the environment in Yunzhou is harsh, as long as you grasp the situation or are integrated with this situation, you can take the most favorable path in this harsh environment. And you should also be very clear on which side Yunzhou is on and on which person. Today, the governor will hold a banquet at home to celebrate his birthday. He asked me to invite you to the meeting. You won't let the birthday star down, will you?

It turned out that such a big circle was to attract himself. Xu Jinghong couldn't help but be a little shocked when he was proud. What kind of thoughts did Liu Mo hide and hand it over to himself in such a fold? However, Mr. Liu's words in front of him are also very reasonable. Now if he wants to make progress, he must stand with the Liu family, so he did not hesitate much and immediately nodded and said, "Since the governor has raised me as a humble person so much, I naturally dare not refuse."

"Good!" Mr. Liu laughed a few times, and then picked up a big red invitation from the table and handed it to Xu Jinghong's hand: "The day after tomorrow, the Liu family will be waiting for you in the house!"

Xu Jinghong took it with both hands and said, "The boy must be there on time!"
