It feels like being easily controlled and merciless. Anyone with some temperament is unwilling to accept such humiliation. After all, this taste is too frustrating.

In this special situation, there are actually many ambitious groups in the Ming Dynasty, but the ambitions are different and the target levels are different. Faced with such complex situations, Emperor Chongzhen is actually

During the control and adjustment period, you will face a lot of pressure and difficulties.

But these are all what Emperor Chongzhen had to bear.

Liao, which had not been quiet for a long time, gathered again the haze of war. The area of ​​Shanxi, thousands of miles away, gradually emerged from the haze of the past.

The intersection of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Mengmen Pass.

"Congratulations to Mr. Mo Cheng for entering the cabinet again."

Shaanxi Governor Chen Qiyu smiled and bowed to Liu Hongxun, saying, "This time I went to Beijing to take office, I would like to ask Duke Mo Cheng to tell His Majesty about the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi. In order to assist the Yellow River Governor's Office, rectify the river affairs of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and strive for more.

If the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Shanxi and Shaanxi can be truly rectified, it will definitely be a matter of immeasurable merit."

"Don't worry, Governor Chen."

Liu Hongxun sighed with emotion, lifted his sleeves and looked at the Yellow River not far away, "I will definitely report this to Your Majesty, saying that the Yellow River is in danger, and it will not be in the next 10 years, 20 years, or even longer.

, if it appears again under the rule of Shanxi and Shaanxi, it can effectively solve the danger of floods and can be considered a major event."

Change begins from more than one place.

From Emperor Chongzhen to clarify the river governments in various places, a group of dedicated river governors were set up to distinguish between the Yellow River, Canal, Huaihe and other river systems to ensure that the power of the river government under its jurisdiction was clear, which made the situation of mutual shirking in the past extremely

Great improvement.

A large number of self-cultivated farmers under the rule of Shanxi and Shaanxi lost their land on which they depended for their survival, either became tenants or became refugees. This was why the court dispatched a large number of troops after the outbreak of the thief rebellion. When the rebellion was suppressed in the early stage, the thief was sent.

Not only has the power not decreased, it has become more and more roots.”

Chen Qiyu said with a serious expression: "Since the Tianqi period, the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces has not been very good. They have encountered serious disasters almost every year, such as drought, flood, snow, locust plague, etc., which can be said to have appeared alternately on this land.

.

No wonder there were so many acts of using power for personal gain, compulsory fraud, and deceiving superiors and suppressing superiors in the past. "

This doesn't matter in other periods. Anyway, some floods will not lead to rebellion. Even if there is a rebellion, it can be effectively suppressed for the powerful dynasty, but for the Ming Dynasty in the Little Ice Age,

Especially during the Chongzhen period, this phenomenon must be strictly eliminated, because the Ming Dynasty could no longer withstand any turbulence.

Looking back on the past experiences of Shanxi and Shaanxi, whether it is Liu Hongxun or Chen Qiyu, I feel more emotional than others. After all, the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi was too dangerous and too turbulent.

Just like the disaster relief administrations of the two provinces, assisting the Yellow River Governor's Office and jointly rectify the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Any mistakes occur, which will lead to delays in rectifying the Yellow River government."

It's like investigating the affairs of local garrisons.

Faced with such a special situation, although the court allocated food and pay for disaster relief every year and even exempted taxes from some local areas, local officials colluded with local gentry, merchants, etc., doing evil things such as oppressing the people and annexing the land.

The core of the reform is to bloom more and ask the right people to go to the right position and do the right things, ensuring that the many existing bad policies and tumors can be effectively eliminated, and ensuring that the existing bad policies and tumors will not be

It will appear in the original realm again.

Seeing Liu Hongxun like this, Chen Qiyu comforted him: "We must believe in Your Majesty's vision, and even more so in Your Majesty's decision. The change that Shanxi and Shaanxi can make today is due to Your Majesty's wise and powerful will.

Now the rebellion of the bandits has been suppressed. The bandits' rebels led by Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong were gradually driven into Qinghai by the army condemned by the state."

If there is no clear scope of authority, but river officials can manage more and local officials can manage more, then serious corruption will occur and mutual shirking will occur.

Now I am a little worried about whether the arrangements made by Fu Zonglong, the new governor of Shanxi, will continue to advance after governing Shanxi.

"yes."

"Unclear administration in the local officialdom is the key to local instability, and this is also something that Your Majesty repeatedly emphasized in the many secret decrees issued by him."

For example, the invasion of official land in various places.

Now, the Shanxi Disaster Relief Administration has made various plans and deployments previously set by the Shanxi Disaster Relief Administration are moving forward steadily, especially the investigation of unjust, false and wrong cases and finding out so many problematic cases.

Chen Qiyu sighed lightly, looked at Liu Hongxun and said, "Who can imagine that a thief rebellion once raged and swept across Shanxi and Shaanxi, causing extremely severe unrest under the rule of Shaanxi and Shanxi.

For example, investigate unjust, false and wrong cases in various places.

“It’s passing so quickly.”

If Zhou Yuji led the Yongwei camp and Cao Wenzhao led the Shenji camp, he did not respect the emperor's will to go to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion, once the raging bandit forces crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, then the entire Shanxi-Shaanxi area would

It will be completely pulled into the abyss and then cause a serious blow to the Ming Dynasty.

Governing river government, rectifying river government, and rectifying water conservancy is a long-term and tedious project with large investments, a lot of things to do, and a lot of money and grain to be invested in.

Liu Hongxun narrowed his eyes and said, "All this is like a dream. Sometimes I can't believe that the once turbulent situation can really restore stability.

If possible, I really don’t want to leave Shanxi and go to the capital to be the cabinet minister. I want to do more practical things for the people of Shanxi as the governor of Shanxi.

Liu Hongxun sighed: "If I don't come to Shanxi to serve as governor, I really don't know that there are so many problems in Shanxi.

"yes."

"Don't worry, Duke Mo Chenggong."

Like investigating refugees under the rule of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Like gathering bankrupt people to work for relief...

All of these are secret decrees issued by Your Majesty, who ordered us to effectively promote them in various places and make full use of the local disaster relief administrations they have set up, so that we can gradually start doing it?

The only thing I am worried about now is whether there will be any problems in Shanxi when the position of governor of Shanxi was transferred, the original ruling of some garrisons was decided to abolish some garrisons."

"This is also what I am most worried about."

Liu Hongxun said: "Although Fu Zonglong is a minister of the Military Affairs Department, he has never been to Shanxi before and is not very familiar with some situations. If it affects the coordinated layoffs of some garrisons in the two provinces, then the subsequent garrisons will be gradually cut off and replaced with
