Du Qi smiled and said, "Next, let's go to Qianzhong Dao to take a look. You have seen the Western Regions, Chang 'an, and Jiangnan. However, you haven't seen Qianzhong Dao's situation. It's not a bad idea to take a look. "
Du Ye said, "I'll listen to Father's arrangements."
Du Ye believed in Du Qi's arrangements. Moreover, Du Ye had learned a lot of knowledge through this time's appointment as the county magistrate of Jiangyin County. He was especially clear about the situation of the local area.
Understanding the local situation was beneficial for Du Ye to broaden his horizons. He also knew what the people at the bottom of society were like.
At the very least, he was no longer clueless.
Du Qi said, "We don't have much time outside, so you have to cherish it. Now that you know how difficult it is for the local people, you have to work harder when you return to Sovereign Capital. You have to learn and do things diligently. The Great Sui and the Tang dynasty are two generations apart. I hope that Xia Xia will become stronger and stronger. "
Du Ye said, "I'll remember Father's teachings."
He had ambitions in his heart.
He hoped that he could surpass his father.
He hoped that Xia Xia would become stronger in his hands.
Du Qi didn't say anything else and waved his hand. Du Ye had already turned around and left. Du Ye still had a lot of things to do in the handover of the county city.
On the other side, Xu Tu had already left the county city. He rushed back on horseback and soon returned to Xu Village. Xu Yinhe was surprised that Xu Tu had returned home early. He said, "Why are you home so early today? Could it be that there's nothing going on in the county office? "
Xu Tu said, "I came back because I have something to report to Grandfather."
Xu Yinhe said, "There's no need to report. Just tell me what it is. If you have any use for this old man's old bones, just say the word. In short, the future of our Xu family depends on you. "
Xu Tu said, "Grandfather, this is what happened. His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty are preparing to leave Jiangyin County. However, His Highness the Crown Prince is still worried about Jiangyin County. In addition, although he hasn't governed Jiangyin County for long, he has feelings for it. Therefore, he hopes to settle Jiangyin County properly and ensure its stable development. "
Xu Yinhe said, "Is it related to the candidate for Jiangyin County's magistrate?"
Xu Tu said, "Grandfather is wise."
"Could it be that the Crown Prince wants you to stay in Jiangyin County as the county magistrate?" Xu Yinhe asked in a deep voice.
Xu Tu shook his head and said, "No, if His Highness the Crown Prince wants to leave, he will take me with him. The Crown Prince asked me to consider the candidate for Jiangyin County Magistrate, and I recommended grandfather. Although it's been hard on grandfather to be the county magistrate of Jiangyin County. It's just that your grandson believes that this is a good thing for our Xu family. You'll definitely be able to bring good fortune to us, and you'll also be able to continue His Highness' policies. "
Xu Yinhe stroked his beard with a look of surprise on his face.
He was going to be the county magistrate?
This matter really surprised him. One had to know that Xu Yinhe was already an old man. Although he was in good spirits, it was still rare for him to be a county magistrate at his age.
Especially since Xu Tu had recommended him.
Xu Yinhe said, "What did the Crown Prince say?"
Xu Tu said, "His Highness the Crown Prince has agreed, so this matter is settled."
Xu Yinhe shook his head and said, "When I was young, I wanted to be an official, but I never had the chance. Later on, I gave up on this idea and focused on managing our Xu family, which strengthened our Xu family's foundation a lot. Now that I'm old, I no longer have the desire to be an official, but I still want to be an official. Life's encounters are truly wondrous. "
Xu Tu said, "Grandfather, does this mean that you've agreed?"
Xu Yinhe said, "You stinking brat, I've already told the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince has agreed. What else can I say? Besides, it's not a bad thing for the Xu family for me to be the county magistrate. "
Xu Tu hurriedly said, "Grandfather, you being the county magistrate is indeed helpful to the Xu family. However, you must not use your power for personal gain. Once you do so, the gains will not make up for the losses, and it'll go against my original intention of recommending you to be the county magistrate. I recommend you to be the county magistrate because I hope that you can continue His Highness the Crown Prince's ruling strategy and do a good job in Jiangyin County. "
After a pause, Xu Tu continued, "Grandfather, you're a man of great wisdom. You've governed our Xu family in an orderly manner, without the slightest mistake. Now that you've governed Jiangyin County, I believe that there won't be a problem. That's why I recommended you this time. "
Xu Yinhe said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what's important."
Only then did Xu Tu nod.
Xu Yinhe said, "In that case, let's go. We'll go to the county office and see the Crown Prince to make things clear. Besides, it involves the Crown Prince's departure from Jiangyin County, so this matter must be properly arranged. "
Xu Tu said, "What's there to arrange?"
Xu Yinhe said, "His Highness the Crown Prince has governed Jiangyin County, and to put it bluntly, he's saved countless people. If it weren't for His Highness the Crown Prince's strong measures, everything in Jiangyin County would've been handled properly, and the Jiangyin County wouldn't have overflowed. Jiangyin County today would've been a mess, and countless people would've died and become homeless. "
"Such a situation can be said to be the birth of Buddha in every home."
"Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince's departure must be properly arranged."
"We must let His Highness know that the thousands of people in Jiangyin County have never forgotten His Highness' kindness, and have never forgotten His Highness the Crown Prince's efforts in Jiangyin County."
Xu Yinhe said, "It's reasonable to make arrangements. But we must see His Highness the Crown Prince first and set a time for his departure. "
After hearing this, Xu Tu also understood.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. His grandfather's consideration was indeed thorough. As long as he made arrangements, not only would the people be grateful, but it would also make the Crown Prince feel that his efforts in Jiangyin County weren't in vain.
This was a small matter.
But the effect it produced was extremely crucial.
Xu Tu and Xu Yinhe boarded the carriage again and went straight to the county. The carriage went all the way to the county office. The two alighted and went straight to Du Ye's study in the county office.
Xu Tu stepped forward and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xu Yinhe also stepped forward and said, "This old man, Xu Yinhe, greets His Highness the Crown Prince."
Du Ye smiled and said, "Please take a seat, General Xu!"
Xu Yinhe thanked him and directly sat down.
Du Ye said, "I'm sure General Xu already knows the next arrangement. You're going to be the county magistrate of Jiangyin County. I've already asked my father, and he said that I'll leave Jiangyin County in half a month and go south to Qianzhong Road. So now you're going to take over as the county magistrate of Jiangyin County and be responsible for everything in Jiangyin County. "
Xu Yinhe said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness the Crown Prince. This old man won't disappoint Your Highness the Crown Prince. In my hands, Jiangyin County will continue to develop according to Your Highness the Crown Prince's strategy. "
Du Ye smiled and said, "I can rest assured with General Xu in charge."
