1792. Everything in the world is unclear and half-understood. Fortunately, not all is lost in life.
In fact, Yang Sichang himself knew in his heart that the reason why he came here was that Chongzhen was worried that Yang Fan was unwilling to take care of Shaanxi's bad affairs. He was working next to Yang Fan, and Yang He made a request, and Yang Fan could not shirk it.
After all, his son was serving as an inspector in Suiyuan and knew the details.
Now, Yang He's troubles have been solved by Yang Fan for him. Staying here has no meaning anymore. He is gold-plated when he comes down. He is a figure in Chongzhen's pocket, and he will be of great use sooner or later.
Chongzhen was not good at anything else, and he did have a way of practicing political power.
He first used Liu Hongxun to be courageous in taking on tasks and liquidate the eunuchs. Then he took down Liu Hongxun and used Dong Lin to remove Wei Zhongxian's influence. Now he began to bring to the forefront the second and third echelons he had secretly cultivated, namely Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren.
Now, Yang Sichang of the third echelon has also entered his arrangement.
His next position has been decided, Governor-General of Xuanda.
The day after Yang Sichang returned to Guihua City, he took the early train back to the capital.
Everyone knows that he will not come back. The emperor will definitely have another important responsibility for him. A new inspector may be airborne here in Suiyuan, or he may be directly promoted locally.
Yang Fan did not go to see him off. Yang Fan stood in front of the long floor-to-ceiling windows of the Suiyuan Dusi building and watched Yang Sichang and two servants get off the carriage and enter the square in front of the station. After checking the tickets, they boarded the train with the box and cage.
Yang Sichang was actually a scholar who looked very capable on the surface, but actually lacked great wisdom. His understanding of the deep-seated logic of Ming society was not deep enough.
He was able to grasp the main contradictions, but he lacked the correct understanding and effective means of how to resolve these contradictions. As a result, most of his measures were effective for a period of time in the early stage, but their shortcomings were gradually exposed, and finally fell into disrepair.
for failure.
He was a precocious child and was admitted as a scholar at the age of twelve. He was elected as a scholar at the age of twenty-three and a Jinshi at the age of twenty-six. He then entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor and was qualified to enter the cabinet in the future.
His official career was a typical standard path in which non-Jinshi did not enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Hanlin did not enter the cabinet. He took the most high-end development route.
If children mature too early, they often lack a deep understanding of society and tend to be superficial. As Guo Degang said, you know that boiling water at 100 degrees is called knowledge. Being burned a little, oh, this is called experience.
Smart people are easy to find tricks, and many things seem to be clear just by looking at them.
However, if you don’t practice it, your understanding of things will be different.
His failure was rooted in his underestimation of the Ming Dynasty's gentry and various interest entanglements.
The main reasons for Yang Sichang's failure can be summarized as follows:
Eagerness for success, lack of execution, financial difficulties and internal conflicts.
Financial problems are actually the most fundamental problem. Without money, everything is useless.
Xiao Niangpi stood next to Yang Fan and handed him a bowl of tea. Inside was the famous drink in the northwest---Babao tea, the recipe provided by the master.
She smiled and said: "Since this man is not of the same mind as the master, it would be better if he left. Two-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged people are everywhere. I don't need to care about him."
"He is talented, but he is actually a dabbler. He dares to report to the emperor and offer suggestions without fully understanding many things. Many of the measures he proposed cannot be implemented at all. Or there is a lack of conditions for implementation. Otherwise, they have side effects.
It's too big. Ming Dynasty can't afford such trouble. Other measures are superficial and cannot solve the fundamental problem."
I have to say that Xiao Niangpi’s eyes were vicious and she saw Yang Sichang clearly.
Yang Fan said with a smile: "Do you know, Madam, that a love of reading and a lust for sex have one thing in common?"
The little girl smiled and said, "I don't know about that, I'd like you to give me some advice."
Yang Fan said: "If you are fond of reading and lustful, you don't need to ask for a deep explanation."
The ladies were immediately amused and laughed. Chen Xi even smiled with crooked eyebrows. The master always said such wonderful sentences. She especially liked such a literary master.
Everyone knows that the master is saying that Yang Sichang is not thorough enough in his work and cannot see clearly, so how can he hit the target with one hit?
"However, this man is also a very talented person. Although he cannot fundamentally solve the main problems of the world today, he can still solve some imminent crises. With him, His Majesty's empire may be able to maintain its power for a few more years.
I don’t know what year it will be.”
Lin Yueru said: "Actually, staying under the master is the best way out for him. Unfortunately, he is still not knowledgeable enough. After he returns to the court, if he really wants to make drastic reforms, I am afraid he will not end up well. He has even failed to connect the Ming Dynasty.
He didn’t fully understand the hidden unspoken rules, so he underwent major surgery at the beginning, and I’m afraid his end would be worrying.”
"Okay, let him go, let's not talk about him. What are your plans today." Yang Fan stretched.
Today, the ladies came to visit his office together. They have been drinking tea here all morning and watching Yang Fan work.
This is their first time to Fengzhou, and also their first time to Guisui City. Naturally, they want to have fun and take a look.
Xiao Niangpi said excitedly: "Tie Man and I discussed it and we decided to hunt red deer. If we encounter a brown bear, we will kill one. In the evening we will eat roasted venison and white bear paws. Let's have another camel hump, here
There are also mute swans, I plan to shoot a few to make roast geese."
Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said it was enough to hunt some game. Now the wild animals in Monan are overrun.
He didn't know before that humans are actually the number one pest in the world. He concentrated the population of Monan into a few limited settlements, carried out settled animal husbandry, planted pasture, and raised cattle and sheep.
Because large areas of grassland were vacated, wild animals quickly filled the void. Large numbers of animals migrated from surrounding areas and occupied the vacant areas.
It’s really time to kill them now. Otherwise, there will be too many herbivores for the wolves to kill, which will cause damage to the grassland. If too many grass roots are destroyed and the sand under the thin soil is dug out, it will be a big trouble.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The main reason is that they love eating the precious dish of camel hump. The hump has a smooth texture, fresh, fragrant and plump. Although this thing is delicious and addictive,
For one plate of camels, three adult camels have to be killed. It is really a luxury.
The way Yang Mansion cooks is the way the Man-Han banquet was done. From each camel, only the tip of the hump, the tenderest bit of meat is taken. So the price is high. However, there are still hundreds of kilograms of left hump, which will be given to the people below.
It won't be wasted.
Their small mouths are like an overfilled stove pit. In a year, they eat hundreds of camels. But Yang Fan has plenty of camels, millions of them, so he can afford it.
"Master, how about you get off work early and take us on a horseback hunt?" the little girl said coquettishly, pulling Yang Fan's sleeve.
"Okay, tomorrow I will go to Linhe to see the master off, and I will accompany you today." Yang Fan said.
Tomorrow morning's train will take Yang Fan and his family to Linhe City. Yang Fan will get off the train at Linhe, join the master's team, and then transfer to a steam tugboat to go to Xining City along the Yellow River and Huangshui River.
They separated from the master in Xining City. The master set off first with 5,000 Mongolian lamas from Monnan who were armed to the teeth, as well as Yan Yingyuan's first batch of 10,000 Us Tibetan troops who accompanied him into Zang, 50,000 yaks, and a large amount of supplies.
Tu Shanyue and the others will get off the bus at Jiuyuan Station in advance. They plan to go to Jiuyuan for a few days. Then they will go to Linhe to wait for Yang Fan to come back, and then take the train to Hamiwei together.
They will stay and eat cantaloupe and raisins in Hamiwei, as well as the red willow kebabs that the master praises so much. They have prepared dozens of spices, and the maids are taking them with them.
Yang Fan separated from them and took a bus to Jinshan City.
After the ladies had enough fun in Hami, they took the train back to the new city. The little girl was looking forward to this trip to the northwest. If it hadn't been for the war, she would have even planned to go treasure hunting in the ancient city of Loulan with a metal detector.
