Hope for luck

Chapter 522

Seeing that Gao Pan was going to live directly with firewood, the servant beside Liao Jie couldn't help but sneered:
"Master, look at that man, he is planning to light the fire in such a stupid way, it's ridiculous!"

This remark provoked Liao Jie to reprimand:

"You laugh at others, but you don't know that they still laugh at you? Why do you talk so much today? Is it because the old man talks too little on weekdays?"

After hearing this, the young man didn't dare to say another word, and squatted respectfully beside Liao Jie, motionless.

But Liao Jie narrowed his eyes, looked back at Gao Pan, continued to sit on the stool, waiting for the fish to take the bait, and from time to time picked up a piece of the exquisite snack that the boy brought from the carriage just now.

In the open space not far from Liao Jie, Luo Ying looked at Gao Pan for a while to 'operate', a bit of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes:
"Master, can this really make a fire? Why don't I borrow fire? If you are really hungry, I will sell you something to eat."

Gao Pan shook his head after hearing this, and said softly while he was doing the 'making fire':
"No, I'm not really hungry, I just want to make you a picnic to eat. You forgot the barbecue in Xueyunzhuang in the capital. When the fire starts, don't drool."

Seeing this, Luoying's jade face was moved. She didn't expect that Gao Pan did all this for her?

Thinking about it again, Gao Pan is a noble son in the capital, and now he is the magistrate of Guangling Mansion, so he is actually doing these menial tasks himself, which makes Luoying feel an indescribably complicated feeling in his heart.

Huangtian paid off, after Gao Pan's "manipulation", he really got out the sparks and lit the firewood.

The next step was much simpler. Gao Pan directly skewered the fish he got from Liao Jie and put them on the fire. After a while, the fragrance overflowed, and Liao Jie, who was fishing intently, couldn't help but feel a little moved. .

After all, the snacks he brought had been prepared a long time ago. Although they could satisfy one's hunger, they were not as delicious as the hot food cooked on the spot. Even if it was just the simplest grilled fish, Liao Jie wanted to eat it now.

Seeing that it was almost ready, Gao Pan gave Luoying first, then picked up one, came to Liao Jie, and said politely:
"Old man, thank you for your fish, please taste the taste, if it is not delicious, feel free to comment!"

Liao Jie was about to taste it at this time, but Gao Pan offered it on his own initiative, so he would refuse. After replying politely, he took the fish from Gao Pan's hand.

"master!"

Seeing this, the young man at the side wanted to remind Liao Jie not to eat outside food, but Liao Jie was very excited. After hearing the young man's reminder, he gave him an annoyed look and waved him back.

Seeing this, the boy was so frightened that he crawled to the back and went out, thinking only that if Liao Jie didn't call him, he wouldn't dare to come to Liao Jie again.

Seeing this scene, Gao Pan felt a little funny, and asked softly:
"The old man's family seems to be the family of a rich gentleman, is he very particular?"

Liao Jie took a bite of the grilled fish first, and then praised:
"Well, not bad, not bad, it seems that your grilling skills are really good, but the old man thinks that you are also a scholar, and the principle of a gentleman far away from the kitchen, why didn't you show it, sir?"

Hearing that Liao Jie didn't answer his question, but asked about himself instead, Gao Pan knew that Liao Jie didn't want to talk about his identity, so Gao Pan naturally didn't want to ask more, it's better to meet by chance and forget each other in the world.

"Aren't you the same? If you want to eat fish at home, you can ask the servants to buy as much as you want, but you want to go fishing by yourself."

After listening to Gao Pan's answer, Liao Jie became interested in Gao Pan, so he chatted with Gao Pan casually.

And Gao Pan's soul comes from later generations, and he has experienced a lot of things in this life. When talking with Liao Jie, he can also talk eloquently, astronomy, geography, anecdotes, etc. Gao Pan can tell a few things.

This made Liao Jie more interested in Gao Pan, and the two chatted more and more speculatively, and for a while, Liao Jie felt that he hated seeing each other later.

In the distance, Luoying was eating the grilled fish that Gao Pan personally gave her, while watching Gao Pan chatting with this old fisherman, his heart was both proud and full, his eyes were bent into crescent moons.

……

"...Yes, the water is so clear that there are no fish. I agree with what you said. Human nature is greedy. It is a bit of a dream for officials to make selfless dedication, no hesitation, and wholehearted consideration for the people of the world. Who hasn't? Are you selfish?"

Gao Pan and Liao Jie were talking, and then they talked about corruption. They both had the same idea. They believed that no one is perfect, and no official can do everything he wants. As long as he is an official, there will definitely be corruption. Selfishness, just to see how big this selfishness is.

Gao Pan's words made Liao Jie nod:

"Three years to clear the magistrate, [-] snowflakes of silver, this is a folk rumor, but it just shows the phenomenon in the officialdom. A magistrate can have so much money, let alone a governor and so on!"

These words moved Gao Pan's heart, and asked tentatively:
"Have you ever been an official before?"

After hearing this, Liao Jie was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hands and said:
"It's all in the past, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning... Tell me about you? Are you so tired of officialdom at a young age?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Pan replied without blushing and heartbeat:

"It's not that I'm tired of officialdom, but I just think it's time for a change in the world. It has been a hundred years since Emperor Taizu established the Dayu Dynasty..."

"The boy thinks that the century-old situation has come. If the Great Yu Dynasty remains unchanged, I'm afraid it will only go downhill!"

These words made Liao Jie's face change slightly, he looked at Gao Pan, and then asked:
"Oh? I don't know what little friend said, but what does change mean?"

Gao Pan also made no secret of his political intentions, only listening to him reply seriously:

"Naturally, Lord Shoufu proposed the New Deal. The boy believes that only by vigorously implementing the New Deal can the Dayu Dynasty be rejuvenated, stop the decline, and not be changed!"

If other people heard this, they would have regarded Gao Pan as a lunatic, but to Liao Jie, it made his heart a little complicated.

After a long time, Liao Jie said slowly:
"What little friend said, is it too extreme? If the Dayu Dynasty is really about to perish, what effect can a new policy have?"

After Gao Pan heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, a few gleams of light flashed in his starry eyes, after staring at Liao Jie, he took a deep breath, and then said:
"The New Deal touches the interests of the gentry all over the world, and guarantees the interests of ordinary people in the world. The common people are not allowed to increase their burdens because the treasury is empty. These burdens will be borne by the gentry in the world!"

"There is a saying that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. As long as the common people can survive, the boy thinks that the national fortune of the Dayu Dynasty will always be boundless."
