"Where is the progress?" Galangjiang asked quietly, "If the family situation cannot be improved quickly and effectively, there will still be no poor people going to school.

“But for Nanhai, after all, the poor are the vast majority.

“It’s not just Nanhai. Looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, aren’t there the largest number of poor people?
“To determine whether a country is rich, it is not about how many rich people there are, but how the poor are living.

"Don't say 'the bones of Zhumen will freeze to death on the stinky road of wine and meat'!"

The last sentence was said with great significance.

Qi Jun was silent for a moment, then stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, old man, for your advice."

Galangian clicked on the chessboard, "Sit down, sit down, we are all so familiar, so stop being so polite."

"It's not a fake polite..." Qi Jun said helplessly, he was sincerely grateful.There are not many people who dare to tell the truth face to face these days.

"I'll give you some advice," Galangan said, "I know that you are very busy every day, and you have to deal with many complicated things in a high position.

“However, if an official cannot make decisions for the people, he might as well just pack up his bed and go home to farm!
"So, you should go among the people in person and understand their real needs. This is the right way to improve people's livelihood.

"I never said this to Zigu's face. Do you know why there are so many spies in the South China Sea?"

Qi Jun said respectfully: "I would like to hear the details."

Galangian threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess basket and sighed, "If you talk about the feelings of family and country with a person who wakes up early every day and still has no food and clothing, do you think he will talk to you?

“He doesn’t understand, he doesn’t have the mood, and he doesn’t have the time.

"You said that he is a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty and should be loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"But as a person under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when has he ever been protected by the Great Zhou Dynasty?
“Not only are they unable to get shelter, but they also have to go hungry and pay taxes and taxes, not to mention doing countless corvées all year round.

“At this time, a man came and gave him food, meat, and money.

"All he needs to do is run errands and ask for information. Who do you think he will think is a good person?"

Qi Jun was speechless.

Gao Liangjiang sighed again, "Zi Gu's method of dealing with spies in the past was actually pretty good.

"Let people know that those pirates are harboring evil intentions. If they are given a little sweetener now, they will die without burial in the future.

“But, what if you get home and find that there is nothing in the grain tank, the old man is so hungry that he has only a handful of bones, and the child is so hungry that he cannot sleep well.

"I'm afraid all the resentment I had before will be thrown away. Why? I can't wait to see anything, so I can only focus on the present!
"Is it possible that I can still watch my mother-in-law and my children starve to death?"

Qi Jun pursed his lips.

Gao Liangjiang glanced at him, and felt that the words should not be too serious, "Qi Xiang, I have already said that you are a good official.

“You have been planning for the South China Sea.

“But no matter what happens, you have to listen to the opinions of the people below, especially those who come from truly poor backgrounds. Only then will they know what the people really need.

"Moreover, it is the investigation of public sentiment that the old man mentioned earlier.

“Another point is to communicate more with businessmen.

"I know that you literati look down on merchants. Although the status of our Great Zhou merchants has improved, it is still difficult to change the fundamentals.

"But then again, if there are no merchants to buy and sell, how will the goods circulate? How will the people live?

"Just digging in the soil to eat?"
