"Motosuke!"

Zhou Jinyong quickly came to the Internal Affairs Office.

At this moment, Zhou Jinyong was also extremely excited. Not long ago, he got the news that maybe he would really be promoted to governor of Henan.

This is a second-grade official.

Zhou Jinyong was naturally very excited.

Previously, when Tan Yong was promoted to governor of Shandong, Zhou Jinyong was very envious. After calculation, he and Tan Yong both graduated from the first batch of Datong College.

Today, Tan Yongdu is already the governor of Shandong, and he is still a county magistrate.

However, his position is not something that ordinary people can do.

This Yongding County is almost equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's special economic zone. It has a respected status. If you can become the county magistrate here, you will definitely be reused in the future.

Zhou Jinyong really wants to say that he is always prepared.

Not long ago, Zhang Haogu suddenly threw piles of information about Henan in front of Zhou Jinyong, asking Zhou Jinyong to take it seriously.

Zhou Jinyong also had a tacit understanding with Zhang Haogu, and he understood almost immediately that the governor of Henan would most likely fall on him.

"Is Guanhou (Zhou Jinyong's character) here?"

Zhang Haogu smiled, asked Zhou Jinyong to sit down and said, "Come on, sit down!"

One of the people standing next to Zhang Haogu was Huang Zongxi, and the other was Zheng Hong. As for Gu Yanwu, who was still too young, despite his outstanding performance, Zhang Haogu still sent him to Datong Academy to continue his studies.

After I get admitted as a political officer, I will consider some promotions.

Don't promote a person too quickly, otherwise, it will easily cause trouble for you.

Zhou Jinyong stood in front of Zhang Haogu, but his attitude was very polite: "How dare students sit in front of the principal!"

"If I tell you to sit down, just sit down!"

Zhang Haogu slowly said: "We at Datong Academy don't have so many rules. The emperor appoints people based on their merits and regardless of their intentions. He only looks at your political achievements. You have done well in Yongding County. How about the situation in Henan during this period?

Do you know everything?"

"Students probably know it!" Zhou Jinyong said quickly.

"Come and listen!" Zhang Haogu smiled and said slowly: "Tell me your opinion, and then tell me your plan!"

Zhou Jinyong naturally understood that this was a unique assessment.

If he passed the examination, the governor of Henan would naturally fall into his hands. If he failed the examination, Zhang Haogu would have to look for a new suitable candidate.

Zhou Jinyong pondered for a moment and continued: "Principal, Henan is the most suitable area for the new policy at the moment. Two years ago, the imperial court abolished Prince Fu and Prince Lu, which also gave Henan a large area of ​​land. The imperial court

As a result, the land was divided among the people, but the national policy of the imperial court was not fully implemented!"

Zhang Haogu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He glanced at Huang Zongxi and Zheng Hong and said: "Look, this is the political officer from our Datong Academy. You should also listen carefully and think more. Think about it. The same goes for Guan Hou."

I have been a county magistrate for several years, and my experience is much richer than yours!"

Huang Zongxi and Zheng Hong naturally understood that Zhang Haogu's purpose in keeping them here was to have a good meeting with Zhou Jinyong, to enhance mutual understanding, and to let them learn from his experience.

"Nowadays, although the people in Henan have been allocated land, they are only individuals and do not have the power to fight against the clan. Facing the powerful gentry, they cannot protect their land!"

Zhou Jinyong said slowly: "There is a phenomenon. I am going to Henan and then come back to investigate it carefully!"

"After some people distributed the land, they immediately turned around and gave the land deeds in their hands directly to the gentry and clan leaders. There is a very important reason for this situation, which is that they have the same surname!"

"One of them, the big families in the countryside are so powerful that the people who were originally allocated the land thought that they did not dare to control the land, so they honestly handed over the land to the big families!"

"The second thing is that the local ruffians have a certain advantage in allocating land. When the court distributes land, they make noises that they want to set up farms, and ask other people to take out their land honestly and set it up as farms.

, there were no government officials, and no reports were reported to the government, thus completing the land occupation. This group of people organized a group of ruffians to oppress other good people!"

"The last problem is that officials don't act. They watch the gentry carve up the land because the gentry gives them money, and they also watch the bullies deceive the people because the bullies also give them money!"

"What are you going to do after you go to Henan?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

Zhou Jinyong pondered for a moment and continued: "In summary, there are two problems. However, if we want to solve the problem, the solution is simple, which is to mobilize the masses!"

"First, the imperial court allocated land, but there was no follow-up method. Even if the imperial court allocated land, it was quickly divided up by the gentry. Then, we must publicize the imperial court's policies on a large scale and encourage the people to report

People with big surnames, let the imperial court intervene and strictly enforce the sharing of land and property!"

"The autumn harvest season is coming soon, and the key is food. As long as we have control of this food and distribute it to the people, then the people will naturally support the court's policy, because we have provided the food with real money.

Let them survive the cold winter and have seeds for planting next spring!"

"Second, the imperial court ignored the local gangsters. They merged the farms under the guise of the imperial court, but they took the opportunity to embezzle the people's land. Then we should find these local gangsters and sentence them to death one by one, so that they can see what they have learned.

The majesty of the imperial court!"

"The third is the core of the problem!"

Having said this, Zhou Jinyong slowly said: "If officials don't act, we must use the Ming Law to deal with them, just like the principal in Shandong, and like Shi Kefa in Shaanxi, killing people to establish authority. What we want to win is the masses, not

Bureaucrats are not gentry!"

Zhang Haogu smiled with some relief.

I don’t know why, but I always feel like my children have grown up.

Let’s not talk about Zhou Jinyong’s methods and methods. Just from his current attitude and strategies to deal with the problem, we can see that he is no longer the refugee he was before.

The students in Datong seem to be able to take charge of their own affairs.

Looking at Zhou Jinyong, Zhang Haogu laughed: "Okay, what you said is quite right. Students in Datong must have this attitude. Don't be afraid of the hardships and hardships that stand in front of us. We must also overcome obstacles.
Chapter completed!
