Chiang Kai-shek is a native of Zhejiang, so the chairman of the Zhejiang provincial government has always been a position that he attaches great importance to, and those who can hold this position are not ordinary people, such as the first is Zhang Jingjiang, the second is He Yingqin, and the third is Zhang Jingjiang, all of whom are heavyweights of the Kuomintang.
However, the fourth chairman is not so famous, his name is Zhang Nanxian. Zhang Nanxian himself was actually not interested in the position of chairman of the Zhejiang provincial government, but Chiang Kai-shek must let Zhang Nanxian take up this post, so Zhang Nanxian resigned five times, and Chiang Kai-shek also insisted on it five times, and finally Zhang Nanxian decided to take office.
But Chiang Kai-shek's move actually brought him a lot of inconvenience. For example, Chiang Kai-shek brought Song Meiling and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ni, to Hangzhou to play, and The mayor of Hangzhou, Zhou Xiangxian, applied to Zhang Nanxian for hospitality expenses. But Zhang Nanxian only replied: Everything should be done according to the regulations, and no overrun should be exceeded.
Zhou Xiangxian only wanted to please Chiang Kai-shek, and he did not believe that Zhang Nanxian would not give Chiang Kai-shek face. Therefore, he directly embezzled public funds to buy high-end cosmetics and high-end daily necessities imported from France and gave them to Mrs. Ni privately. After this matter was first known to Zhang Nanxian, Zhang Nanxian was furious and directly declared that these things were bought by Zhou Xiangxian at his own expense and could not be reimbursed.
Chiang Kai-shek and his party played a circle in Hangzhou and spent more than 5,000 silver dollars. Zhou Xiangxian took the list to find Zhang Nanxian for reimbursement, Zhang Nanxian directly slapped the table, scolded Zhou Xiangxian for even having a face to reimburse, the money in the provincial government was handed over by the people of Zhejiang for one cent, and could only be used to serve the people, and must not be used to give Chiang Kai-shek's family food, drink and fun.
Zhou Xiangxian almost passed out in a coma after learning that he could not be reimbursed, but Zhang Nanxian was his superior after all, he could not say anything more, he did not dare to go to Chiang Kai-shek for money, and finally he could only admit it himself.
Unfortunately, the era at that time did not allow the existence of a Qing official like Zhang Nanxian, so Zhang Nanxian only worked in Zhejiang for one year, and because of all kinds of chaos that he could not tolerate, he resigned and returned to his hometown in Hubei.
Chiang Kai-shek also did not expect that he invited Zhang Nanxian to go out of the mountain first because he admired Zhang Nanxian's ability, but he did not expect that Zhang Nanxian's honesty and honesty had caused restrictions on his life. Therefore, when Zhang Nanxian chose to leave, Chiang Kai-shek was also very contradictory, on the one hand, he regretted such a talent, on the other hand, he did not want such a person to impeach his own actions, so he finally agreed to Zhang Nanxian's departure.
When Zhang Nanxian left, all the people in Hangzhou set up a basin of clear water and a mirror at their doorstep to send Zhang Nanxian off, which means "clear as water, bright as a mirror".
