"Yang Yinglong? Chieftain of Bozhou?" Zheng Chongjian's face became increasingly ugly, "Are you two so sure that he is going to rebel? Doesn't he have a son in the capital?"
"Of course it would be better if he doesn't rebel, and we hope so too, but some things will not change according to our will." Feng Ziying said with certainty: "We started paying attention to the situation in Southwest China last year. You were still in Western Xinjiang at that time.
Feixiong also put a lot of effort into planting informants in his hometown and obtained a lot of useful information and clues. Not only Bozhou, Shuixi, Yongning, but also several chieftains had unusual movements, but we couldn't confirm it.
"
Zheng Chongjian was silent for a long time, and then said quietly: "The imperial court cannot afford to fight a war. If it can be avoided, it is best to avoid it."
Both Feng Ziying and Wang Yingxiong's eyes fell on Zheng Chongjian. The other party must have some special reason for saying this.
"It seems that things are calm in Western Xinjiang, but Ziying, you should know that the situation in Gansu and Ningxia towns is so corrupt that Mr. Chai is a little worried. After Governor Chen takes office, he will understand that there is a civil unrest in Guyuan Town.
"Continuously, if Ziying's father hadn't suppressed the situation in Yulin Town, something would have happened a long time ago. Now that your father and the three You brothers have moved to Liaodong, I'm worried that Governor Chen will not be able to control the situation."
A chill ran down Feng Ziying's spine, and she couldn't help but feel terrified. Don't let something happen in northern Shaanxi just because her father left Liaodong with a group of soldiers who were accustomed to fighting, right?
"In the past few years, the weather in Shaanxi has been bad, drought has continued, the number of refugees in northern Shaanxi has increased significantly, civil unrest has continued, and banditry has become rampant. The local government is unable to eradicate it, and it is all controlled by the border army. Once the border army cannot control it, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zheng Chongjian had just returned from Shaanxi and was well aware of how bad the situation in Shaanxi was now.
The four towns of Gansu, Ningxia, Guyuan and Yulin all theoretically belong to Shaanxi Dusi. As Chen Jingxuan serves as the governor of the three border areas, he is responsible for supervising the army and the people. Once the civil unrest or banditry becomes excessive, the border army will need to intervene. The problem is
It would be very dangerous if the border troops could not control it even if they intervened.
"Master Chen took office this time, and the imperial court also gave him a salary to support him..." Wang Yingxiong defended weakly.
"It's a drop in the bucket! It's to meet the needs of the army, not to take care of the local area! Ziying, you have also been to Gansu, Ningxia and Yulin. You also know the situation in Guyuan. Don't you know how corrupt the local area is?" Zheng Chongjian curled his lips,
Dismissive.
Feng Ziying was silent.
When he returned to the capital from Western Xinjiang, he had actually realized how much silver it would cost to rebuild Gansu and Ningxia.
The harm caused by rebellion is not only the rebellion itself, but also the destruction of local order and large amounts of wealth.
If we want to prevent the people in these places from becoming refugees and then becoming rioters and bandits, then the court must not only provide relief, but also restore their daily living facilities. This cannot be done without two or three years of support, but now the court only cares about treating headaches.
How can you take care of such a deep-seated problem when you treat pain in your head and feet?
Everywhere needs money, food, cloth, and salt. If these most basic survival materials are not available, how can the local order be restored and calm?
Especially when Shaanxi has been suffering from droughts for many years and people are struggling to make a living, what will happen is bound to be civil unrest or even rebellion.
That's why Zheng Chongjian said that the imperial court was almost unable to fight the war. The situation in Shaanxi was so bad that the imperial court couldn't even take care of it. Once war broke out in the southwest, how could the imperial court have any spare power to take care of other things?
The emperor and the cabinet and even the six ministries were not aware of the difficulties in Shaanxi, but money was needed everywhere, so the emperor and the cabinet valued Feng Ziying's ability to raise such a large amount of money from salt merchants and maritime merchants with bare hands, even if Feng Ziying
This matter also attracted a lot of criticism, but the emperor, the cabinet and the procuratorate all ignored it tacitly.
Whoever can get money for the imperial court will be the savior of the imperial court now.
"As long as the military affairs of the three sides can be stabilized, Shaanxi will not be in chaos, right?" Wang Yingxiong muttered.
"Huh, non-bear, you just hope that there won't be a big mess? A small mess will turn into a big mess. Don't you understand what will happen if a spark is thrown into a pile of withered grass?" Zheng Chongjian said to Wang Yingxiong
Not so polite anymore.
Wang Yingxiong scratched his head, his face full of bitterness and helplessness, "But there are indeed these unusual movements in the southwest. We have to report these situations to the court, right? Isn't that a cover-up?"
"It is still not appropriate to overly stimulate the southwest side at this time. Maybe they are ambitious now, but I am afraid they are still hesitating. What the court lacks now is time. As long as these two years pass, the situation in Shaanxi and Liaodong can be stabilized.
, the royalties and bond income brought by the opening of the sea can enter the household department steadily every year. By then, if something happens in the southwest, the court will be able to deal with it much easier."
Feng Ziying finally put forward her own opinion, "So Feixiong and Uncle Fang were just collecting intelligence clues, and only a few people in the Ministry of War knew about it. They were afraid of alerting Yang Yinglong and others, so they simply launched a rebellion first."
"The delaying tactic is not easy to use. How long will it last? You still have to look at other people's faces." Zheng Chongjian sighed, forced a smile, and stepped forward, "Let's go, I have to bother Zi Zi today."
During our last meal at Ying's house, both Uncle Fang and Feixiong said that the food at your house was unusual and had a unique flavor. I was already so greedy in Shaanxi..."
"Come on, you are from Shanxi, how can you not adapt to Shaanxi food? You are not from the south..." Wang Yingxiong also retorted back. He was also a little annoyed when this guy was rude to him earlier.
Several people returned to the city talking and laughing, but there was a bit of heaviness and worry in their laughter.
They have all experienced government affairs in the DPRK for several years, especially under the influence of Feng Ziying. They are no longer limited to one city and one corner when considering problems. They are accustomed to looking at problems from a connection and dialectical perspective. Naturally, they understand the current situation of the court.
What an unfavorable situation.
It seems that there is no big problem anywhere, but they can feel that there are paper lanterns everywhere that are leaking. Maybe a gust of wind blows from somewhere and the flames sway, it can ignite the lanterns and burn everything down, and they
Now I am completely helpless.
This taste is really unpleasant.
Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong went back after dinner, leaving Feng Ziying alone in the study.
He himself didn't understand that he was a person who traveled through time and was a popular and popular person, he was like a fish in water, he was arrogant and licentious, and he did everything, so how could he become the world's first worry, *********,******
Are the loyal ministers of the * feudal dynasty pure ministers?
At one moment, they were worried that Liaodong was afraid that the Jurchens would take advantage of the opportunity to gain power in Jianzhou. At another moment, they were worried that some history in northern Shaanxi would happen in advance and cause the collapse of the dynasty. Or they were worried about the rebellion in the southwest, which would lead to the exhaustion of the national power of the Zhou Dynasty. Or they were worried about Japanese pirates invading the country and shutting down the national economy.
How come you have to work so hard when you are so shrunken?
Shouldn't this be something that the chief minister of the cabinet or the emperor should worry about? That's fine. He seems to have even aroused the sense of crisis among the students like Zheng Chongjian, Wang Yingxiong, Lian Guoqian, and Fang Youdu, making them conscious or unconscious.
Following his own thoughts, he was truly a first-class pure minister of the Zhou Dynasty.
In this case, why did he fall in love with so many women? Why didn't Emperor Yonglong give his second wife a title and title?
I have worked so hard for Dazhou, shouldn't I accept a few more women as my wives and concubines?
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying's original thoughts of being a little ashamed of being too lascivious were suddenly thrown out of the sky, and she immediately became confident. One day, they will understand how much they have contributed to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
So, should you comb your clothes together today? Feng Ziying thought as she touched her chin.
****
Feng Ziying was well prepared for the arrival of Huan Laosan.
That day, Baoyu had a seizure, and Feng Ziying didn't have time to talk to Huan Laosan. Huan Laosan was afraid that he was uneasy in his heart.
After all, he is about to take the college examination. After passing the college examination, Jia Huan also knows very well that he does not have the ability to participate in Qiu Wei. He is still blank in terms of current policy theory, and it is in vain to go, so he might as well feel at ease.
Do a solid job in studying the classics and its meanings, and then start thinking about politics after entering the academy.
As for attainments in current policy theory, Qingtan Academy ranks second, and no one in Zhou Dynasty dares to rank first.
It was just that Tanchun and Huan Laosan came together, which surprised Feng Ziying.
You must know that Tanchun rarely comes to his house, and with his current status, it is even more inappropriate for a girl like Tanchun to appear.
It can be seen that this Tan girl has high expectations for Jia Huan.
The girls Jin Chuan'er and Xiang Ling were particularly fond of Tanchun's arrival.
Tan Chun was very popular and respected in the Jia family. When Tan Chun arrived, Jin Chuan'er and Xiang Ling were also talking around Tan Chun. Feng Ziying simply let Jin Chuan'er and Xiang Ling accompany her.
Talk to Huan Laosan first.
"Baoyu is awake?" Feng Ziying was a little unconvinced. She had already said that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit, but can Baoyu repent?
"It is said that I have woken up and learned from it. I also confessed a lot. I don't know whether it is true or not. But Brother Feng, I don't care about this now. Didn't you also say that my Jia Huan's future will not be the same?"
It should be limited to the discount dry well in Rongguofu,..."
Huan Laosan was so powerful that Feng Ziying couldn't help but cough twice.
When did you say that the Rongguo Mansion was a dry well? You told him not to sit in the well and look at the sky, but this guy just decided that the Rongguo Mansion was a dry well and said it was him who said it. Such tactics would make him a censor in the future.
