The heavy rain poured down the eaves and formed a water curtain that covered people's eyes.

The Zhao family father and son heard Hai Rui talk about his legendary career as a county magistrate in the sound of the rain.

"In the 37th year of Jiajing, I took Hai'an to Chun'an, Zhejiang to become the magistrate."

"Uh, who else did you bring?" Mr. Zhao asked in a low voice.

"It's only Hai'an." Hai Rui said with a look of course: "Before, I was a poor teacher in Nanping. I didn't have enough salary to eat. I had to rely on Hai'an to open up land and grow vegetables in the back mountain of the county school."

The Zhao family father and son looked at Grandpa Hai who was serving tea and pouring water on the side.

Old man, what are you looking for? Are you looking for him?

Hai'an, who had all the skills points full, naturally understood the confusion between the two, and smiled faintly and said, "The little old man is the old man's grandfather's book boy."

"Oh..." Zhao Shouzheng suddenly realized and said to himself, it seems that I should be better for that person.

"My grandfather was also a juren. He served as the magistrate of Songxi County, Fujian Province. His uncle was a Jinshi in Chenghua. His three uncles and uncles were all juren. They all served as magistrates..." He heard Hai Rui explain: "I have heard from the elders since I was a child and have practiced with my uncle outside. Therefore, I am not unfamiliar with the various disciplines in the county, so I naturally don't have to find any staff, clerks, or signatures..."

Zhao Hao nodded. The Hai family in Qiongzhou is considered a famous family and an official from generation to generation. No wonder he can even win the first place in the national assessment. Everyone has a deep knowledge of his academic background and is better than most scholars, and they understand how to become an official!

"I have done all the things inside and outside the yamen." Hai Rui looked calm, as if he was talking about a little thing that was taken for granted. "I still have time to help Hai'an grow vegetables in the county yamen."

"The master changed the back garden into a vegetable field, not only for himself to plant, but also the officials in the county government also had their share." Hai'an explained to Hai Rui.

"Oh..." Mr. Zhao tried to imagine the scene where his father and son planted vegetables for everyone. Alas, I really couldn't imagine it.

"So what the Haigong relies on the county government's officials, clerks and clerks?" Zhao Hao asked softly: "I heard that these people are not easy to use, so the magistrates had to take their own people to the office."

"A bunch of waste." Hai Rui smiled contemptuously and said lightly: "The desires are inflated, and they are not virtuous and incompetent, so they naturally cannot convince the public. If everyone does not agree, they will naturally not be used by you."

"I heard that clerks are accustomed to this business in the world, and they are as cunning as oil, so there is a saying that 'If you are clear and clear, you can't beat an official like oil'." Zhao Shouzheng turned his back on his small book and read the famous saying of Magistrate Zhang.

"Haha, these are all excuses." Hai Rui sneered, unable to hide his contempt: "A county is the lord who holds the power of life and death, but he is powerless to do anything to his subordinates. There are only two reasons - one is a nerd who is not good at studying; the other is that he is too selfish and he is full of yellow soup, and he also expects others to be clean on his butt?!"

"Cough!" The old lady coughed unhappyly from the main room.

Hai Rui immediately stood up and bowed to the end. "My son is swearing again."

"You can't change it in your life, don't take care of the child." Xie said.

"Yes." Hai Rui responded helplessly, glanced at Zhao Hao again, thinking that this kid's swear words were much richer than mine...

Mr. Hai’s swear words mainly reflect a rich language; although Mr. Zhao only knows how to speak official language, he combines the dregs of the four hundred years of national swearing, and cannot be compared with others.

"It's not difficult to be an official, just be strict with yourself."

When I scolded me, Hai Rui became much more serious. He only heard him say in a deep voice: "But a clean official is not the same as a good official. A fool who only knows integrity and self-discipline is as harmful as a corrupt official!"

"So you have to be an honest official, but also an expert!" Lord Hai looked at Zhao Shouzheng with full expectations and said, "You have a son who is full of money, so you naturally disdain for that little bit of money. As long as you want, it is not difficult to be an honest official."

"Yes." Zhao Shouzheng nodded, and he didn't think it was difficult. All the money was bastard, and after spending his son, he made money...why do you need to reach out to others?

"Also, your actions of raising funds to host a porridge shop in Baiyun Temple in western Beijing to help refugees have shown that you are 'courageous in responsibilities and do not avoid slander' and have good organizational and coordination skills." He heard Hai Rui praise him: "As long as you spend more time, I believe you can be a good magistrate of Kunshan!"

"You should do your best..." Zhao Shouzheng blushed when he heard this. The disaster relief was handled by Zhao Hao and the eldest princess from beginning to end, but he counted all the credit on his own.

Now even Lord Hai mistakenly thinks he is a capable official. This is really... so guilty and uneasy.

‘Hey, it seems that I have to learn to be an official steadily.’ Mr. Zhao couldn’t help but make up his mind secretly. ‘Otherwise, there will be a day when I will show my timidity sooner or later.’

So he quickly asked Hai Rui humbly how to be a good magistrate.

Hai Rui naturally knew everything and said everything.

He was familiar with all aspects of a county's government affairs and was very good at summarizing and summarizing, so he asked Hai'an to go to the study and presented the "Regulations on the Development of Reform" he formulated in Chun'an County to Zhao Shouzheng.

"The so-called "no rules" cannot be achieved without rules. Only by formulating clear and reasonable rules and regulations can officials act and all rewards and punishments be based on evidence."

"This is the rule that the official formulated for the county's main officials and the six-bedroom and three-team when he was in Chun'an County, and it was quite reasonable and reasonable. Later, he implemented this as well in Xingguo County, and it was still effective. Zhao Zhuangyuan might as well take it back and consider it, and then modify it in combination with the actual situation in Kunshan, and then it can be promulgated and implemented."

"Thank you, Mr. Hai." Zhao Shouzheng quickly took it with both hands. This is the crystallization of wisdom of the three generations of the Hai family!

"But it is not enough to have rules alone, so you must strictly implement them. Otherwise, no matter how good the rules are, they will be of no use." He heard Hai Rui's deep voice reminding:

"In addition, half of these "Regulations" are restricted by the magistrate himself. Believe me, as long as you can do it strictly, you will find that those slick clerks will become obedient."

"Oh? Is it so magical?" Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly took it as if he had found a treasure.

Zhao Hao asked Hai Rui softly, "Then please ask Mr. Hai, if the interests of the court, gentry, and the people conflict, how should we choose?"

"I have always adhered to the principle that if you do anything that is beneficial to the court and the people, just let it go!" He only heard Hai Rui cut the railway line: "The reason is very simple. Now the court's treasury is empty and the people are poor. There is no place for the people to stand in a wealthy place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang! The land and wealth are all in the hands of those powerful and powerful people!"

"The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings! Officials who do not help the court and the people seek profit, but want to safeguard the interests of the powerful and wealthy people. Do you think the Ming Dynasty was too early?!" Hai Rui was irritated with anger, and several provinces swear words took turns to fight...

But this time, his mother didn't scold her. After he finished speaking, she whispered: "Come in for dinner."
