Hope for luck

Chapter 538
Tianfeng 21 years, early summer.

Three years later, with Gao Pan's efforts, Gu Xinshan finally came to the point of collapse.

In Liao Jie's mansion, still in front of the pavilion, Gu Xinshan was looking at something in front of him in a daze.

But Liao Jie was still the same as before, throwing bait into the pond in front from time to time, attracting many fish to chase and eat.

Three years have passed, Liao Jie looks older, but his demeanor remains the same.

But at this moment, Gu Xinshan, like seven elders and 81, seemed both lonely and desolate and old, which made people feel embarrassed.

After Liao Jie looked at Gu Xinshan, he said softly:
"Shouren, you are still too obsessed. Now you are not wronged at all. It is the right way to follow the trend!"

After hearing Liao Jie's words, Gu Xinshan woke up with a start, looked at Liao Jie hesitantly, and said unwillingly:
"Mr. Liao, I don't accept it. Three years ago, I had prepared everything, but why I lost to Gao Pan, a magistrate in the end, I couldn't think of it!"

Liao Jie shook his head:
"You only see that he is a magistrate, but you don't know that behind him are many people who follow him. Although he is only loved by the people of one prefecture, that is only two or three million people. How can you be alone?" Can you stand it?"

After hearing this, Gu Xinshan opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word, and finally he was dejected and said no more.

At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the pavilion:
"Mr. Liao, look what I brought you. The hairy crabs that were just produced on Fanliang Lake, you are in luck now!"

Gu Xinshan heard the voice sound familiar, turned his head subconsciously, and saw Gao Pan walking over with a few big crabs in his hands.

And Liao Jie also stood up to greet him personally, took the crab from Gao Pan's hand, and said with a smile:

"Hey, you still have a conscience, remember to send me such a good thing to the old man, then I will not be polite..."

After all, Liao Jie asked his servants to take the hairy crabs to the kitchen for cooking, then looked back at Gu Xinshan who was already stunned and said:
"Shouren, since you're here, let's eat some together. This is the hairy crab that Gao Pan asked the fishermen to raise. You should have heard of it!"

Gao Pan also saw Gu Xinshan here, and hastily bowed his hands in salute:

"Hey, Mr. Futai is also here. I haven't seen it for a while, so I hope Mr. Futai will not be offended!"

And only Gu Xinshan knew how shocked he was at the moment.

After a while, Gu Xinshan looked at Liao Jie and asked:

"Old Liao, you...you guys have known each other for a long time?"

Seeing his aggrieved and dissatisfied face, Liao Jie sighed softly:

"Shouren, your methods have long been outdated, and now that you have lost, it also shows that your ideas have already fallen behind..."

"Three years ago, the old man had already met him. To be honest, since then, the old man has been on his side. Now it seems that the old man is not wrong!"

In three years, Gao Pan made the entire Guangling Mansion start to implement the New Deal, and at the same time suppressed land mergers to ensure the interests of ordinary people.

With the increase in commercial taxes and the support of the people's banks, the entire Guangling Mansion is unique in the south of the Yangtze River, and the intensity of prosperity is even higher than that of Linjiang City, the provincial capital next door.

Moreover, Gao Pan also drew a development zone outside the city, which is dedicated to industries, such as textile factories and other workshops, all of which are placed in this development zone.

In the past three years, Guangling Development Zone has formed a huge scale, and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau in the city can only look forward to it.

The silk cloth produced from the Guangling Development Zone was sold both at home and abroad, and became a world-famous place, which also shocked the government and the public.

Because the annual commercial tax of Guangling Development Zone has exceeded the land tax and head tax of Guangling Mansion.

This is also the main reason why Gu Xinshan will eventually lose to Gao Pan.

When Gao Pan is leading the new trend, people like Gu Xinshan who stick to the old are destined to be eliminated by the times, and it is reasonable to lose to Gao Pan.

……

At this time, Gao Pan was already a young man with a face full of vicissitudes and a beard, and he became more and more resolute when he started to do things.

Under his governance, the government of Guangling Mansion was well-organized and the people were harmonious. No one was unconvinced, and the taxes were doubled year after year, especially the commercial taxes brought by the development zone, which even surprised Emperor Tianfeng.

Under Gao Pan's proposal, the Guangling Development Zone was directly under the control of the imperial court, and was no longer under the second-level jurisdiction of the Jiangnan and Guangling Provincial Governments.

At this time, Gao Pan also heard the wind that he was going to be promoted again because of his outstanding political achievements.

Therefore, with a somewhat abnormal mentality, Gao Pan came to Liao Jie openly with a gift to reminisce about the old days.

And at this moment, the grievances between him and Gu Xinshan can be regarded as a glass of wine to settle the grievances, and the two will never have any entanglements again.

Since Gu Xinshan and Liao Jie had already been ordered to retire by Emperor Tianfeng after their failure in the battle, the Jiangnan officialdom would once again usher in a new round of reshuffle.

However, these are no longer important to Gao Pan, he is ready to jump out of this circle and move towards a higher direction.

When he came out of Liao Jie's mansion, it was already time to hold the lamps, and Gao Pan staggered back to his own mansion.

This is a rather large mansion. To be able to buy such a large mansion in Guangling City, not only money but also status is required.

And Gao Pan, as the magistrate and in control of a business empire, can naturally do it easily.

"Daddy...Daddy, give me a hug!"

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he saw a small figure galloping towards Gao Pan, talking in a childish voice, as if he had just learned to speak.

This made Gao Pan wake up in an instant, seeing his two-year-old daughter running towards him, with a smile on his face, Gao Pan hurriedly opened his arms and hugged the little person in his arms.

"Yaoyao, come down quickly, don't dirty your father's clothes!"

At this moment, a gorgeous young woman hurriedly chased her out, but it was Luo Ying who had already given birth.

At this moment, Luo Ying was wearing a woman's hair in a bun, with a little makeup on, fresh and elegant.

Dressed in a tight blue skirt, Zhang Xian has the temperament of a young lady from your family. Perhaps because of the birth of a child, the mountains and mountains in front of her are ready to be seen, which is extremely eye-catching.

This made Gao Pan couldn't help staring at it, and then replied with a smile:

"Okay, the clothes are dirty, wash them again...is it Yaoer!"

While talking, Gao Pan kissed the little man, which made the little man resist, because Gao Pan's beard stung her a bit.

Luoying saw their father and daughter enjoying themselves happily, with smiles all over their faces:
"Master, just let her get used to her. She's only two years old now, and no one can control her anymore..."

Gao Pan teased the little man, and replied in a low voice:

"My Gao Pan's daughter, who dares to control her?"

Luoying couldn't laugh or cry at these words, so she could only open her beautiful eyes wide, watching the tender scene between father and daughter.
