There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails will sail across the sea.

Before leaving, the Minister of Rites asked:"Miss Su Su, she is young and does not seem to be a person with deep experience in the world. I take the liberty of excusing me. Is this document entirely written by Su Su?""

"To be honest with you, it was done by civilian girls and senior students together."Su Su casually pointed to the senior behind her.

"I wonder who the senior is studying under?"

"We are all students of Mr. Yan."The seniors replied proudly

"Oh, no wonder you can write such a statement, then you are also a student of Mr. Yan."The Minister of Rites asked

"yes."Susu

"Moreover, Su Su is also the daughter of Mr. Yan."A senior said

"Oh, Mr. Yan’s daughter, Mr. Yan’s student, good, good, I’ll serve the imperial court if I have the chance."The Minister of Rites took a closer look at Su Su and the seniors behind him, with a questioning expression.

"Sir, is there something wrong?"Su Su noticed the change in her expression.

"There is nothing wrong with it. The wording of the articles not only has the air of an official document, but even though it is about farming, it also contains the principles of the world."The Minister of Rites shook his head gently, and then said:"Maybe it's because I'm old.

Su Su continued:"There is another Taoist who is also my senior, who is not here.""

"Oh, I don’t know what official position you have?"The Minister of Rites

"Sir, he has never been an official before. He and his daughter have just joined the farm community as farm workers."Susu

"Can I meet you?"The Minister of Rites.

Su Su didn't expect that the Minister of Rites wanted to see Daozhi. He turned back to look at the seniors. A senior came up and said:"He went to a nearby desert island early in the morning and may not come back until dark."

"Desert island? Can I go anytime?"Susu

"I don’t know."Senior

"Whatever, whatever."

After the Minister of Rites left, Su Su and the seniors first went to see Senior Zhuang's injury, and then went to interrogate those who planned to assassinate the Minister of Rites. They never said anything.

When Dao Zhi came back, Su Su sat at the table and couldn't help but feel excited. Not only did the negotiation go smoothly, but there was an unexpected gain, which made Su Su a little confused about what to do. When he saw Daozhi, he came back. Susu poured a bowl of water for Daozhi.

"went well?"Daozhi

"smoothly. Su

Su was a little puzzled by the actions of the Minister of Rites:"Why does Master Shangshu want us to fight for the position of field supervisor? Only the seniors in the field club are literate, and they do not have the ability to manage the field club. It seems like a good thing, but in fact The Tianpu Club may not be really good. Daozhi sat opposite Su Su:"The Tianpu Society provided most of the food for the imperial court. The Tianpu Supervisor was a fat man who had always been in charge of a close associate of the Minister of Household Affairs. Now that the Tianpu Supervisor is dead, they will not let this fat job go out." No matter who the Ministry of Personnel recommends, there will essentially be no difference. As long as their internal interests are coordinated and other ministers second their approval, Your Majesty can only agree, and the Tianpu Society will still be the Tianpu Society as before. As a result, the resistance was meaningless. What's more, the newly appointed field supervisor tried every means to punish the farmers and workers who resisted this time. Firstly, he was afraid that this kind of thing would happen again under his rule, and also for the sake of the ministers. Exhale your anger. Even if you accept the suggestions on the surface, I am afraid that the implementation will change in the future. In the end, it will be the farmers and workers who will suffer, and the court will suffer."

"Without discussing it in court, if the Minister of Rites handed over the duties of the field supervisor to the Tianpu Society, would the other ministers agree?"Susu

"The vacancy is an opportunity. His Majesty and the other ministers recommended by the Minister of Rites will unite to deny it, and the farm supervisor will eventually fall into the hands of the minister. Everyone in the Secretariat wants their own person to get this lucrative position. No matter who recommends it, others will compete. It may be difficult to reach a consensus for a while, so no one recommends it, and everyone may accept it. This step taken by the Minister of Rites can be described as taking a risky approach, and it is also protecting farmers and workers."Tao Zhiming keenly felt that there was already a rift between the ministers.

Su Su realized that the affairs in the court were not as written in the book, and asked again:"Even so, how can there be anything in Tianpu Society that can be managed? People will definitely be fine if left to these farm workers, but it may not be possible for the seniors, either?"

"It is definitely better for the Tianpu Society to manage itself than to fall into their hands. No one can train you, the important thing is to have the intention, you can't learn if you don't know how."Daozhi

"Who is suitable to be the field overseer? How about you do it? When I was leaving, the Minister of Rites asked me about the proposal, and he said that I had your advice."Su Su's view of Daozhi has changed.

"You still don’t understand why Mr. Yan taught you the way of farming. Those 10 points are like the entrance exam. It is very appropriate for a woman to be in charge of food, nurturing, home, and farm society. Besides, you led everyone to put forward the suggestions. You have Reputation can only be achieved if you lead everyone."Daozhi

"I?"Susu

"Why not? Didn’t the Minister of Rites say that you are a hero among women? He approves of you in his heart. Don't let down Shangshu's good intentions. You have the support and help of the seniors in Tianpu Society, so you can do it with confidence and boldness."Daozhi

"how about you?"Su Su doesn't understand.

"You fought for it with the farmers and workers, and now they all trust you."Daozhi.

A real man should join the court and serve the country. Su Su is thinking, is Daozhi really not interested in the position of field supervisor? He doesn't want to be an official, or there is something else. Su Su can't figure it out.

"How do I manage this?"Susu

"Don’t worry too much about this. The seniors are familiar with agricultural work and can learn some management essentials."Daozhi.

After hearing Daozhi's analysis, Susu was full of confidence. Learning has never been a problem for Susu. Then Daozhi began to tell Susu

"1. Be loyal to the country. If government orders cannot be effectively implemented by disloyal people, management efficiency will be reduced and troubles will easily occur."

"How do you know if they are sincere and their hearts are as deep as their stomachs?"Su Su asked

"Only those who are loyal to their parents can be loyal to the country. Therefore, officials must first be filial sons, and parents must be reasonable people... The second is virtue. Virtue is better than talent. Those who have virtue and talent are both good. Those who have virtue but little talent are second best, and those who have no virtue have no talent. Never use it. You can occasionally use it if you have talent but no virtue, but there are great risks. If it doesn't work, just avoid it... The third is talent... The fourth is diligence... Five……"The Tao was narrated until midnight.

Su Su couldn't help but be a little surprised that Daozhi understood this, remembering the official style of the Minister of Rites' explanation:

"The Minister of Rites wants to see you"

"Whatever you want me to do, you are enough."Daozhi.

Daozhi's reaction made Su Su feel strange. Which scholar wouldn't want to become a general and make contributions to the court. With such a good opportunity, Daozhi's expression was dull and indifferent. Could it be that power didn't tempt him at all? She really I couldn't understand what was going on in Daozhi's mind. Finally, Su Su mentioned the attack on the Minister of Rites, and Daozhi asked about Senior Zhuang's injuries.

At night, Daozhi came alone to the place where those people were imprisoned, and looked at them. People immediately understood in their hearts that if they really wanted to kill the Minister of Rites, it would be impossible for a single senior Zhuang to stop him, and senior Zhuang would not be still alive. If they were not allowed to leave, and they reported to the court to assassinate court officials, they would have no choice but to die. They should not He died like this.

Daozhi didn't ask anything but just looked around and deliberately left the door unlocked when he left. One of them immediately understood and asked quickly:"How should we repay the strong man?

Daozhi just said:"I will come to you when needed. Go back home first.""

At night, they knocked out the farm workers who were guarding them and escaped, and the matter was settled.
