Regarding Ye Xianggao's proposal, everyone looked at each other and whispered.
"Brother Jinqing, is it necessary to establish a governor in the current situation in Shandong? Isn't it necessary?" Gu Bingqian frowned and asked, does Ye Xianggao still want to protect Yuan Yingtai?
Ye Xianggao shook his head, "What I mean is that since Dali went to serve as Shandong's Chengxuanzongxu Sizuobuzhengshi, there is no need to set up the post of governor."
According to the tradition of the Zhou Dynasty, when a capital official is transferred to a local official, he is automatically promoted from one to three levels. For example, if a third-grade minister is transferred to a local government, he must at least be promoted from a second-grade minister to the left, and he will be implicitly regarded as being demoted.
If you go from a second-rank envoy to serve in the court and serve as a third-rank minister, that is an incredible promotion. In many cases, you can only get a third-rank official.
Yuan Yingtai went to the Shandong Chief Envoy Department to serve as the Left Chief Envoy, which was actually a demotion. This was also a punishment that the imperial court was extremely dissatisfied with the military performance of Beizhili. The lack of direct dismissal and investigation was considered to be lenient.
Ye Xianggao was not willing to punish Yuan Yingtai, but Yuan Yingtai's performance was really terrible.
The relationship between the local government and local prefecture officials is not good, and the army is out of tune with the military generals. He always complains and blames others without thinking about his own problems. The Metropolitan Procuratorate also reacted strongly to some of his performances, thinking that he
Self-willed and blind command led to delays in fighter planes and caused many unnecessary losses.
If Yuan Yingtai was not dealt with, it would be difficult to convince the public, so Ye Xianggao simply offered to let him go to Shandong Province. This would also avoid the fierce criticism of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now Shandong can avoid the limelight.
"Fei Bai has never been to Liaodong. Is it appropriate to go so suddenly? If the situation in Liaodong changes, I'm worried that it will be difficult to reverse and miss important events." Zhang Huaichang is not optimistic about Xiong Tingbi going to Liaodong.
He always believed that it was Feng Ziying who should return to Liaodong, and only Feng Ziying could suppress the Liaodong group. After all, his father had been in charge of Liaodong for several years, and he fought very well in the early battle in Liaodong, turning the tide.
His prestige in Liaodong was immediately established, and even Zhao Lejiao, Liu Qing, Du Song and the Zu brothers trusted and respected him.
Although Xiong Tingbi played well in Shandong, once he went to such a strange place, could he convince Zhao Shu to teach them how to command them in a short time?
"Huaichang, the situation in Liaodong is quite normal now, so we let Fei Bai go ahead of time so that he can get familiar with it as soon as possible. The situation in Liaodong is important, but we can't always pin it on one person, as that would be less conducive to overall planning." Ye Xianggao
He reminded: "What's more, the situation here in Beizhili is even worse. Ziying has always been known for putting out fires. From Shaanxi to Liaodong, didn't he always shoulder this responsibility? He is young and works harder. He should run more.
.”
When Ye Xianggao said this, Zhang Huaichang didn't know what to say.
Everyone knows the implicit meaning: one person cannot always control the same batch of warriors, otherwise it will easily lead to a situation where the tail is too big to lose.
"The situation in Shanxi has actually stabilized. Brother Jinqing, I suggest that Zhisheng should be responsible for unified response to possible provocations from the Mongols, including the wars in the border areas of Shanxi Town, Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, and Ji Town.
Let Sheng Sheng take charge and let Zhisheng serve as the temporary governor of Xuanda." Li Sancai also put forward his own suggestion.
This suggestion was immediately approved by Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, Qi Yongtai, Gu Bingqian and others. If Feng Ziying were here, he would feel the civil servants' deep fear of military men.
There were all kinds of obstacles when my father wanted to be the Governor of Xuanda, but once Sun Chengzong was nominated as the Governor of Xuanda, there were no obstacles and everyone agreed.
Once Sun Chengzong became the Governor of Xuanda, he would definitely take further steps in the future. This could be regarded as a disguised block to Feng Ziying's intention to become the Minister of the Ministry of War. It would be more appropriate for Sun Chengzong to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Of course, Feng Ziying is not here, and he cannot see the faces of these people, and there is nothing he can do if he sees him. This is the tradition of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.
The selection of governor of Jiangnan has also become an issue. After several discussions, the imperial court also intends to simply abolish the governor's office and directly establish Jiangnan Province. Like other provinces, it will establish the Department of Administrative Envoys, the Department of Punishment and Prosecution, and the Department of Capital Command and Envoys.
, officially operates in a provincial mode, but this task is quite complicated.
Feng Ziying, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, didn't know the plan of the DPRK. He just felt that it had been delayed for so long and there was still no result, which made him very puzzled.
But this is fine, if you are in your position and seek your own government, if you are not in your position and do not seek your own government, you will be happy and free, and you can do whatever you want.
There are many women in the house, Tan Chun Xiangyun is still looking forward to getting pregnant and giving birth to children soon, so he will just spend more energy on them.
These are all trivial matters, and serious matters must be taken care of as well.
The Governor's Yamen can be said to be more or less. After all, it is a temporary Yamen and is no more independent than the Chief Envoy's Department and the Inspector's Envoy's Department. Relatively speaking, each prefecture is more independent.
But as a part-time governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of War, his power is quite huge. In other words, if Feng Ziying wants to take care of anything, he can intervene with full authority. If he doesn't want to take care of anything, he can also delegate it to the lower state government.
In addition to vigorously promoting the development of industrial and commercial industries, Feng Ziying has never ignored agriculture.
Although the demand for potatoes and sweet potatoes in the North is greater and more important, it does not mean that the entire South Zhili is not in need.
Places like Fengyang, Xuzhou, Huai'an, Luzhou, Anqing, Hezhou, and Chuzhou, as well as prefectures such as Ningguo, Huizhou, Chizhou, and Guangde, which are still mountainous areas despite being in the south of the Yangtze River, still have a lot to do, whether it's potatoes.
And sweet potatoes, their per-acre yield and unselected land are not comparable to conventional crops such as rice and wheat. As for the taste, it is not a problem for farmers who are hungry and full.
Don't think that Jiangnan is really full of fertile fields and fertile soil, and don't think that people in Jiangnan live in paradise. Except for the eight core prefectures, the other prefectures are mostly mountainous and have poor people everywhere. Even the eight core prefectures
In the government, the number of poor people is much greater than that of those in the middle and upper classes.
Isn’t it a saying? Those who are covered in robes are not silkworm farmers. After all, the real rich are only a few.
Feng Ziying waited for a long time and there was no news, so she simply went to the state capital, this time to Guangzhou.
Without him, Fan Jingwen is the governor here. As an old classmate, he comes over to take a look. One is to supervise the work, and the other is to chat.
"I really didn't expect that the yield of sweet potatoes is so high. It's more amazing than I imagined. Moreover, its taste is sweet and delicious. It can be grown on any slope in the mountains or in the valley. On the contrary, the yield of sweet potatoes is not as high as that of sweet potatoes, and the taste is also a little bit different.
It’s weird, every county has tried to promote it, and farmers are more willing to grow sweet potatoes.”
Fan Jingwen was in high spirits and walked with Feng Ziying in the fields.
Guangde is a small state, with an area only a quarter of Xuzhou. In addition to Guangzhou, it also governs Jianping County, and its population is even worse.
"Mengzhang, don't jump to conclusions. Sweet potatoes taste good, but if you eat them for a long time, they may not be good. Moreover, eating too much of them can cause heartburn and acid reflux, which is bad for the stomach. On the contrary, potatoes have a very good taste and can be used in various ways.
It can be cooked in different ways and can incorporate various flavors, so this thing is the most suitable.”
Feng Ziying reminded.
"Ziying, you don't know that Guangzhou is probably the poorest state in southern Zhili. Every year, people are worried about filling their bellies. For them, these sweet potatoes are simply a godsend. They have high yields and great taste.
Okay, even though I’m a bit hungry, if I’m hungry, I’ll have this thing with a little salt, and it’ll be delicious.”
Fan Jingwen nodded, "What you said makes some sense. I also told the county that it was voluntary, but I advocated planting whatever has the highest yield. Anyway, the mountains, slopes and valleys are not suitable for growing rice and wheat. Let them do it.
They were also taught how to propagate these seedlings, and these people were very motivated in order to dig into the soil and eat them."
"Okay, Meng Zhang, you can make the decision on this matter yourself. I just want to remind you that although Guangde is small, its geographical location is not bad. It is close to Huzhou and Hangzhou. The gap is too big. You are the prefect.
It’s also shameless. If you take care of the potatoes and sweet potatoes, they can also give you a Wanmin Umbrella when you leave.”
Feng Ziying's words made Fan Jingwen laugh, but there was still some hope in his eyes, "We don't dare to force such things, but we just want to do things with a clear conscience. Guangde is generally quite simple, a little small."
Son, but there aren’t that many things to worry about, so let’s just do something down-to-earth and be worthy of the common people.”
"Mengzhang, you have the right mentality. We do things with a clear conscience and a clear conscience for the people. For the rest, let others decide." Feng Ziying said leisurely.
Fan Jingwen glanced at Feng Ziying suspiciously, "Ziying, there seems to be something else in your words. You just came to Jiangnan not long ago and you are leaving, right? You've only been here for a year, right?"
Is the Chao Li using you like a donkey?"
"Hey, I can't say yet, but I can't help myself with this kind of thing." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Let's see."
The two of them just looked at each other and talked until they returned to the Yamen. Only then did they see the servant from the governor's Yamen already spinning around anxiously in the Yamen.
"What's going on?" Feng Ziying knew at a glance that something bad was happening again, and he had a hunch that it was probably related to the war in the north, and Fan Jingwen might be the one to catch him.
"I've come here with an urgent report. I want you to come to the governor's office immediately. I didn't tell you the details." The officer shook his head.
He just came to report a message, it was impossible to tell him such things.
Guangde is not far back to Nanjing, but it still takes two days to get back. We must rush to Lishui first, rest for one night, and then return to Nanjing.
