Chapter 26: Do Your Best

Of course, Ge Dan would not agree to this matter. Everything has to be seen in two ways, with the pros and cons of power, so that we can make a choice. Nothing in the world is perfect, and not all are beneficial. In this matter, Ge Dan saw more harm than good, so how could he agree?

If Ge Dan agrees, the first thing he gets is money, followed by the favors of these merchants, but what is the use of this for Ge Dan? Apart from money, Ge Dan basically does not get any substantial benefits in this matter. In many cases, money is the least worth the benefit.

What about the disadvantages? First of all, the juren who participated in the Ge Dan incident would definitely be unhappy and would be with a group of businessmen who were stinking to the smell of money? Although they also do business, they do not think they are businessmen on the surface.

Secondly, Ge Dan will leave a reputation for being greedy for money. This reputation sounds good? Ge Dan will not do this. Even if he is greedy for money, he will not be greedy for such low-level money. In the end, the original intention of this matter will be questioned. Are you really promoting education or planning to make money with this?

It doesn’t matter if Ge Dan recruits some scholars. To a certain extent, they are scholars. Juren can be directly an official, and scholars are also officials who are later replacing officials.

If Ge Dan supports them, this is considered to be a supporter of his juniors and is reproachable in the officialdom. However, if he accepts people in a big way and receives money, he will be questioned by others.

Such a disadvantage but not much benefit. How could Ge Dan do this?

Zhou Chang also knew that Ge Dan was unlikely to agree, but when he thought of the benefits that those people promised him, Zhou Chang still spoke. However, when he saw Ge Dan ask this, Zhou Chang hurriedly said: "Sir, they have no fame."

"Then let's talk about it later!" Ge Dan did not make things difficult for Zhou Chang. He also knew that Zhou Chang had to open this mouth. He was a native of Hezhou, and it must involve money and favors. Zhou Chang could not recommend it. Even if he was reluctant and even was criticized by Ge Dan for this, he had to open this mouth.

Ge Dan is different. He is the governor. He has no human connection with the state. He left after working for a few years. Who cares about what these people in the state think?

Sometimes you have to be a shield for others when you work hard and do things for you. Just like children in later generations don’t want to do anything, the reason is usually the parents who don’t let them go, and I can’t do it either. The reason is very simple.

After hearing Ge Dan's words, Zhou Chang felt a little disappointed, after all, he couldn't get the benefits, but he couldn't say that he was too disappointed. Because at the beginning, Zhou Chang had no hope for this matter, because the magistrate said it clearly from the beginning that he was a scholar and a juren, not someone who couldn't even pass the boy's examination.

Ge Dan was not worried that some people said that they value achievements. They only saw that they were admitted to scholars and juren, because whoever said that would die would be killed without Ge Dan taking action.

This is an era of career development. A noble person cannot do well, especially in the officialdom. If you are such a person, you should indulge in the mountains. The officialdom is not suitable for you.

"Everyone follows the arrangements of the lord!" Zhou Chang did not object at all, and directly affirmed Ge Dan's words.

Nodded, Ge Dan smiled and said, "Okay, let me leave this matter to Teacher Zhou, don't worry!" As he said that, Ge Dan picked up the teacup, the meaning was very obvious, it was almost done, you can leave.

"Then say goodbye!" Zhou Chang hurriedly, then turned around and went out after saluting.

When Zhou Chang left and Ge Dan returned to the back house, Ge Dan was not concerned about this matter. He was concerned about those who came to him to learn, and those people had not come yet. While Ge Dan was preparing for it, a conversation was also taking place in the Qian family.

The protagonist of the conversation is naturally Chen Xuanbin's confidant Chen Lian. Qian Fan and Qian Fu stood at the bottom, with neither sad nor happy on their faces. In another adjective, it means that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Looking at the two people, Chen Lian could not say anything about his suffering. After a while, he said, "It's been four days, and it's been four days. Is there any news from the magistrate's yamen?"

"No!" Qian Fan replied directly: "That day, butler Qian went there. After arriving, he didn't even see Lord Ge, but only saw the master in the government office. The master said that the governor of the prefect is the decision. When he returned, he reported to the prefect, Mr. Chen, you know about this!"

"Then you didn't send anyone to ask again?" Chen Lian looked at Qian Fan and said with anger. Chen Lian saw Qian Fan's attitude these days. Although he did not expressly say that he was dissatisfied with himself, he could tell that he was very dissatisfied with him.

Qian Fu, who was on the other hand, said with a sad face: "Mr. Chen, the young man went there in person. In order to see Master Ge in the yamen, the young man spent 100 stag to see him. He also asked about this matter, but the master in the yamen said that the matter was of great importance, and the magistrate should consider it carefully and consider it carefully, so there was no news."

Chen Lian looked at the two of them and sighed helplessly for a while. He realized that Qian Fan was deliberately not cooperating, and that Lord Ge also deliberately refused to give face.

I really want to curse, it’s useless, it’s useless, but Chen Lian knew that he would never have a quarrel with the Qian family at this time, especially when he didn’t know if the Qian family was holding any evidence. If the case of that year was really ripped up, it would be impossible to do it.

At this moment, the confidant who followed Chen Lian and walked in from outside, with a serious expression on his face. He came to Chen Lian's side, lowered his head and whispered a few times with Chen Lian.

Chen Lian's face became increasingly ugly. When the man finished speaking, Chen Lian's face was completely dark as the bottom of the pot. He waved his hand. Chen Lian's subordinate retreated. Chen Lian glanced at Qian Fan and Qian Fu, and then said, "The news just spread, the matter of Ge Dan has been settled. Zhou Chang has already started to handle the money paid by several juren."

"Some businessmen want to exchange money for another child to go to school, but that Lord Ge did not agree." Speaking of this, Chen Lian stood up, tidied up his appearance, and then said: "I guess that Lord Ge is waiting for me to come to the door and prepare a reply. I will come to the door in person tomorrow!"

Qian Fan hurriedly said, "Mr. Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me, and I will do my best."

Looking at Qian Fan's face that was trying hard to show his loyalty, Chen Lian really wanted to punch him. It was too fake. He still tried his best to ask you to send a message to him. Why were you not so active when you asked you to do things in advance?

After waved his hand, Chen Lian said calmly: "Okay, I'm tired too, you guys go and rest too!"
