One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Chapter of the Scroll

 Ye Xianggao's face twitched slightly. Qi Yongtai was an upright person, how could he teach such a thick-faced and cruel character? And he was still so young. Could it be that he was educated at home?

But Feng Tang's reputation doesn't seem like this. Apart from being calm and sophisticated, the outside world doesn't have any other bad opinions about Feng Tang. Why is he so brazen about giving birth to a son?

Of course, for people like them who have been in officialdom for many years, Feng Ziying's behavior only made them slightly surprised because of her age.

In fact, some people with high status and experience in the official circles of the Great Zhou Dynasty basically fall into this category. On the contrary, those who are different must have sufficient strength and background to be worthy of their personality.

Li Tingji was also a little displeased, "Ziying, you have already understood the court's intentions in calling you back this time. There is no doubt about the importance of Yongping Mansion. It is a good thing that you are doing things generously in Yongping, and the court is also very interested."

I support it, but there are some things that you should report to the court first, and there are other things that haste makes waste, so you should consider not being too radical."

"Mr. Li made a point, Ziying understands it, but Ziying still feels that there are some things that cannot be postponed now. After weighing the pros and cons, even if there are some accusations and criticisms, Ziying is willing to take the blame." Feng Ziying said calmly,

On the surface, he accepted Li Tingji's criticism, but still insisted on his own attitude.

Ye Xianggao and Li Tingji frowned at the same time, but did not say anything. Fang Congzhe hesitated for a moment, "Ziying, well, since you are so confident, you have to tell me your reasons? You are so worried.

You went to Yongping when the people's livelihood was full of resentment, the gentry resisted, and even came to the capital to complain. I'm afraid you don't want to see this situation, right?"

"Mr. Zhonghan, Ziying doesn't know what words the princes in the court heard to criticize Ziying, but if Ziying really violated the rules, there must have been a reaction from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Mr. Fu

Your Excellency presided over it, the vast majority of the gentry understood it, the general public cheered and cheered, many of the accumulated abuses in the government were cleared up, and Ziying did not think she had done anything wrong."

Feng Ziying knew very well who was behind it.

Although these Lulong gentry who were cleaning up military households had been forced to retreat due to the thunderous handling of the Liao family, Jian family, and Mao family where Liao Defu lived, especially because this matter also caused some Lulong gentry to fight among themselves, so these people only

Can drink hate and accept it.

But when it comes to cleaning up the hidden farmland, the benefits are too great.

It would be too unacceptable to ask these people to hand over all the farmland they had invaded over the past twenty years, and even have to make up for the taxes and levies they had incurred in the past twenty years.

But now, because Feng Ziying considered that the construction of the two coal-iron complexes valued the labor force provided by the hidden military households, she deliberately slowed down the efforts to clean up the hidden farmland, and even deliberately acted in a manner that was anticlimactic, so that these

People can take a breath.

But the noose has been put around these people's necks, and it all depends on their mood when to tighten it. It's no wonder that these people can't continue to curl up.

In addition, I have retrieved the case files and conducted on-the-spot inspections on the situation related to Changli Huimin Salt Fields. This information cannot be hidden from the big households in Changli. Naturally, these wealthy and powerful households in Changli have felt murderous intentions. Therefore, these two groups are probably now.

Already started to join forces.

"As for some people clamoring and criticizing, Ziying thinks it's normal. There's nothing you can do that doesn't touch people's interests, unless you don't do anything." Feng Ziying said calmly: "The Yongping Mansion has been delaying cleaning up military households' hidden houses for many years.

The untouched matter is not complicated, but it involves dozens of gentry in Lulong County. Some of their relatives are officials in the court, some are officials in neighboring counties, and some have extremely wealthy families.

Potential,..."

"The previous colleagues turned a blind eye. Some of them were old and weak, some were sick and unable to care, and some were scholars from the south of the Yangtze River who were not familiar with the people's conditions. But Ziying was only eighteen years old and had just completed his term of observing the government. He had no idea about the situation in the north.

I still understand that if she still puts it aside for various reasons, then Ziying will not accept the court's arrangement..."

"Ziying doesn't know what the princes' reactions were after hearing this, but by the time I was called back to Beijing, the entire Far East Shengzuowei, Lulongwei and Yongpingwei military households in Lulong County had been completely cleaned up, except for some military households.

Because the households were exiled in Daning, Ningyuan and other places outside the customs, Yongping Prefecture has sent a document to Liaodong Town through the Shandong Dusi and submitted it to the Ministry of War, requesting that these fugitive military households be repatriated. It is expected that all the clearance will be completed before the end of July...

…”

The military affairs of Yongping Prefecture are under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Capital Division, while the border military areas in Jiubian are directly under the direct control of the Ministry of War, so there is still such a procedure.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Jingqiu's face, and Zhang Jingqiu's lips moved slightly: "The Ministry of War has received the report, and the hidden military households in Yongping Prefecture have been cleared. We are only waiting for the military households who fled to Liaodong Town to be repatriated.

"

This is also a matter of time difference. The news heard by the princes of the imperial court is basically delayed by one beat, or even two beats. This is not a big deal, nor is it urgent. It is all obtained through various channels.

It will be fed back to the ears of big bosses like them.

I'm afraid they have to ask more questions and verify it in the early stage. In this way, given the timeliness of news transmission in this era, it basically happened in May, and they didn't know until June.

Now it is the end of June, and Feng Ziying has already completely subdued this group of people with lightning speed. If Feng Ziying had not shown a posture of continuing to clean up the invaded farmland, these people would probably not be willing to continue fighting.

The strong Xiao Feng Tongzhi continued to fight.

If the people do not fight against the officials, even if they are gentry, they still belong to the people and are just the upper class.

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying had already dealt with this matter with lightning speed. Is it that simple?

Those present here are all veterans of officialdom for many years. They know very well that it is not so easy to mobilize the interests of the gentry.

Not to mention resisting to the death, at least he would endure tough situations and use various connections to say hello. Why did he just hear the news and the weather had already cleared up over there?

Even Li Sancai couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Ziying, cleaning up the hidden house is not easy, and it involves the abolition of the three guards for twenty years. How can it be completed in two or three months?"

"Mr. Daofu, the list of those with yellow status is actually in the military room in the government office. No one dares to erase or change it. The Ministry of War still has a base. If the military officer dares to mess with this, then I will only be able to do it.

We have invited the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei to arrest them. As for the gentry involved, they are nothing more than beating snakes and killing chickens to scare monkeys. By the way, they also helped the Criminal Department solve several major cases..."

Feng Ziying's tone was very relaxed, but everyone here understood the simple words and how much effort Feng Ziying had spent and how much preparation she had made in advance.

If you want to kill the seven-inch, who is the seven-inch? Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, who is the chicken? Is the chicken so easy to kill? Without real evidence, can you touch these gentry at will?

And if it was simply seclusion, and the punishment for the gentry was just like scratching an itch, Feng Ziying must have made a breakthrough from other aspects, and only then could he hit the target. Otherwise, he would have to do such a big thing in two or three months, and you would have to do it in a year.

It may not be possible.

Feng Ziying's answer made everyone present have different thoughts and mixed feelings.

Qi Yongtai was naturally happy and proud, but Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji were filled with emotion. There were many scholars in the North, and there were many who could read, but there were not many who could truly be called capable ministers.

This is the main reason why Jiangnan scholars have always occupied a dominant position in the court. Even outstanding northern scholars like Li Sancai were slowly influenced and drawn into the group of Jiangnan scholars.

Come.

But it only took a few months for the person in front of me to show extraordinary political talent. This is even more thought-provoking than the strategy he proposed before to open up the sea. If you have such ability after ten or twenty years of experience,

It makes sense, but you just came to be a co-president of the same government, so you have to be familiar with it for a year and a half, right? You actually started to do it so boldly and succeeded?

To describe this simply by luck would be to deceive oneself and others.

Of course, it is not enough to make a few people jealous. After all, the situation of Jiangnan scholars suppressing northern scholars cannot be reversed by one or two people, let alone a junior like Feng Ziying.

No matter how talented he is, it will take ten years for him to reach the position of a third-grade official.

If you want to join the cabinet, take a look at the age of the youngest minister in the Zhou Dynasty. Forty-two is still in the Guangyuan period. No matter how powerful Feng Ziying is, it will take at least twenty years, right?

Twenty years later, who of the people here can still stay in the court? Maybe their bones are rotten.

Besides, in the past twenty years, who can say clearly that no genius like Feng Ziying has emerged? The popularity of reading in the south of the Yangtze River is not comparable to that in the north. Talents have always emerged in large numbers. Is it possible to be afraid of one or two outstanding people?

Isn't it possible?

Li Sancai, on the other hand, has some different views on Feng Ziying. After all, this son had something to do with him at first, or his rise to prominence six years ago had something to do with him. After all, he is still a scholar from the North, even if he is not.

I agree too much with the conservative and outdated views of the scholars in the North today, but his roots are still in the North, and he cannot be as unscrupulous as the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

Feng Ziying's outstanding performance is even more dazzling, especially the strategy of opening up the sea, which is deeply recognized by Li Sancai. In his opinion, this is the mind that has a big picture and a big atmosphere, and will not stick to the narrow pattern of Beidi.

, now it seems that this son still has his own methods in specific local governance, which is worthy of praise.

Just when everyone was deep in thought, it was Zheng Jizhi who broke the silence: "Ziying, you are developing industry, commerce and mining, and you are also cooperating with the Ministry of War to build a gun and artillery workshop. Well, you are also opening the Yuguan Port. So this year

Yongping Mansion’s summer tax and autumn grain should be fine, right?”
