"Change it. What do you think about river management?"
After recounting the separation, Han Wen brought the conversation to the main topic. These days, he has figured out that the reason why he was promoted to a higher level was because the superiors needed a Huai'an prefect who could back up Su Hao. He, a fourth-grade official, actually
He was promoted because he was a sixth-grade official. There are so many intriguing things about him.
Han Wen knew that his political achievements in Huai'an depended entirely on whether Su Hao could successfully control the river. If Su Hao made achievements in river control, he would be able to follow suit. If Su Hao failed and returned home, then he would be able to control the government.
No matter how well you manage your affairs, it is all in vain.
After understanding this, Han Wen knew what he should do, that is, everything revolved around Su Hao's needs and all Su Hao's needs. Of course, based on his understanding of Su Hao, he also knew that doing so was
Beneficial and harmless, the things Su Hao did in Fengcheng County were all deviant from the norm, but it was precisely these things that became Han Wen's political achievements. If Su Hao could come up with the same ideas in Huai'an Mansion, Han Wen
There is reason to believe that these things will add highlights to your career.
Different from Han Wen's preparation, Su Hao came to Huai'an Prefecture today with no intention of talking about business. According to his original idea, his main task when he came to the house for the first time was to get acquainted with the prefect and establish a relationship.
Is there any reason to discuss business matters when meeting for the first time? Who would have thought that the prefect in front of him is actually his old acquaintance and old leader. There is no need to talk about all kinds of emotional communication. It is actually the most appropriate to talk about business directly.
"Master Han, our students just arrived in Huai'an yesterday, and it's still dark in front of us. It's too early to talk about river control at this time," Su Hao said.
Han Wen nodded: "What Gai said is right. The Art of War says that if you know your enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. The same principle applies to governing a river and a government. How does Gai plan to understand the situation in Huai'an Prefecture? What does this officer need to do?
, can you tell me so that I can look into the details?"
Su Hao thought for a while and said: "Master Han, the student does have an urgent matter right now and needs Master Han's help."
"Please tell me if you want to change it," Han Wen said.
Su Hao said: "Half of the survey battalion trained by the students in Fengcheng later went to Yunnan to help Deputy General Deng survey and map the Yunnan border passes. The other half was brought to the capital by the students, and this time it was brought to Huai'an.
The Ministry of War attaches great importance to surveying and surveying matters, and requires students to expand the size of the survey camp to the establishment of a thousand-household office.
The students currently have only about 50 soldiers, which is still far from 1,000. Therefore, the students may start recruiting soldiers in the near future. I wonder if Mr. Han can help with this matter."
Han Wen said: "Change this. I remember that when you recruited soldiers in Fengcheng, you required that the soldiers must be literate. Is the same requirement for this recruitment?"
Su Hao nodded and said: "This is still the requirement, because when doing surveying and mapping in the survey camp, you have to write and do arithmetic. I have no cultural foundation at all. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it."
Han Wen said: "This is difficult. It is easier to recruit a hundred or so literate soldiers. It is really difficult to recruit a thousand soldiers, all of whom are literate. When I first came to Huai'an Prefecture, I didn't know the whole Huai'an Prefecture.
Can you find a thousand people who have read the book?"
Su Hao said: "Huai'an Prefecture is a prefecture after all, with 2 states and 9 counties, which is 10 times larger than Fengcheng County, so the scope of recruitment is wider. When I was in Fengcheng, I remember that more than 100 people signed up in the end.
It shouldn’t be difficult for a hundred people to find a thousand literate farm children in Huai’an.”
Han Wen said: "In the early days, Huai'an was considered a place for talented people, and the custom of farmers sending their children to study was still prosperous. But in recent years, disasters have continued, and the people can't even eat, let alone study?"
"Let's recruit first, as many as we can recruit." Su Hao stopped arguing with Han Wen, "Master Han, please arrange for a few government officials to handle this matter and send the recruitment notice to all counties and townships. I plan to start with
Recruit in Shanyang County, where Huai'an Prefecture is located, and then go to Qinghe and Yancheng counties. Recruitment should not be rushed. We have to recruit a group, and after training, we will recruit the next group. Let the government officials pay attention to the steps.
.”
"I will arrange for people to do it right away. You write down the specific recruitment requirements, and I will ask the officer from the military department to go to your principal office to contact you tomorrow." Han Wen said.
Su Hao really felt the benefit of having a backer. Arranging something didn't require too much nonsense, and almost everything he wished for came true. He went on to say: "Master Han, you know that our survey and mapping
The map needs to be embroidered onto white silk by an embroiderer. The survey camp has expanded, and the number of embroiderers must also increase, so..."
When Su Hao talked about the embroidery workers, he followed what he just said. But as soon as he said the words, he felt a little embarrassed, because the first person to embroider maps for him was Han Qian, and Han Qian was the one he and Han Wen
A topic that should be avoided as much as possible.
Han Wen obviously thought of this. He raised his head, looked at Su Hao with a meaningful look, and then said with a smile: "This matter is easy to handle. There are many embroidery workshops in Huai'an city. Do we need to recruit dozens of embroidery workers?"
It's not difficult. I will arrange for the Yamen to handle this for you."
"Uh... Master Han, I wonder... if Miss Qian'er... has also arrived at Huai'an Mansion." Su Hao asked hesitantly.
Both Ma Yu and Jiang Yida knew these gossips. When they heard Su Hao mention Han Qian, they quickly turned around to look around, not daring to disturb the conversation between the prospective father-in-law and son-in-law. Han Wen twirled his beard with his hands and said: "
The official letter from the Ministry of Personnel came in a hurry, and I also rushed to take office. Qian'er and her mother stayed in Fengcheng to deal with some follow-up matters. They had finished it a few days ago and set off north. It is estimated that in a few days, their mother will
The girls will arrive in Huai'an, and Master Fang will escort them there together."
"Oh, that's it." Su Hao said.
In front of Ma Yu and Jiang Yida, Su Hao could not discuss the matter of children with Han Wen. The two looked at each other and changed the subject.
"Mr. Han, the students have not yet met Mr. Pan, the governor of the river. I don't know what he thinks. The students have only been in Huai'an for one day, and they can already feel the suffering of the floods suffered by the people in Huai'an. The students consider the matter of river control.
It is very important to improve the people's livelihood, especially to minimize the harm caused by floods to the people. In this regard, the goals of our two yamen should be the same." Su Hao said.
Han Wen said: "That's right. As the magistrate of Huai'an, I should protect the people. If there is a good strategy to eliminate the flood in Huai'an, the contribution will be much greater than digging wells in Fengcheng to fight the drought. Only this one
This meritorious service is enough to repay Wang Cifu for his promotion."
"Don't worry, Mr. Han, I will try my best to come up with a good solution." Su Hao said.
Han Wen also promised: "Change it. If you have any good ideas, just bring it up. As long as it is confirmed to be beneficial to the country and the people, I will definitely support you with all the strength of the government."
"Thank you, Master Han." Su Hao said.
This meeting lasted all morning in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. At noon, Han Wen held a banquet in the government office to entertain Su Hao and his party. Comrades from Huai'an Prefecture, general magistrates, officials, and experienced officials were all called to accompany them.
Han Wen solemnly introduced the deeds of Su Hao and others to his auxiliary officers, especially Su Hao's actions in Fengcheng, Bozhou and other places, which made the Huai'an officials sigh.
When Wang Xijue personally went to test the talents of Su Hao, Ma Yu and others, the look of envy and jealousy on everyone's faces could hardly be concealed.
"Master Su is really young and promising, and with the help of noble people, his future is boundless," said Zhang Qi, a colleague.
Tongpan Tian Younian also lamented: "For so many years, the Ministry of Industry has never sent a supervisor to Huai'an to supervise river management matters. The establishment of the Huai'an River Supervisor this time is probably due to the talent and learning of Supervisor Su. It is entirely due to
People set things up. This is evident from the importance the imperial court attaches to Chief Su."
Su Hao said: "My lords, you are exaggerating. In fact, Su Hao just learned a few heretical skills. Somehow, he fell into the eyes of Wang Cifu and entrusted Su Hao with important tasks. Since he took over, Su Hao has had trouble sleeping and eating, for fear of betraying the great trust of the imperial court.
Today, after meeting Magistrate Han, Zhang Tongzhi, Tian Tongpan and everyone else, Su Hao felt confident. If Su Hao makes any achievements in river management in the future, it will definitely be due to everyone's great help. Su Hao is determined to
Don’t dare to be greedy for merit alone.”
"Haha, how can we, stupid people, help Master Su? We only hope that Master Su can fully control the river as soon as possible and save millions of people in Huai'an from the fire and water. This is also our wish." Several officials
They spoke beautiful words in unison.
In terms of grades, Tongzhi Zhang Qi is in the fifth grade, which is higher than Su Hao, and Tongfan Tian Younian is in the sixth grade. Like Su Hao, they have no need to flatter Su Hao. However, on the one hand, there is
Han Wen's face, on the other hand, everyone also noticed Su Hao's youth, and they knew well that it is better to bully the old than the young, so even if it was a pretentious act, they still had to say a few words to show off.
Su Hao had the idea of carrying the sedan chair with everyone, and in turn showed his kindness to the Huai'an officials, hoping that these people would not cause trouble for him when doing things in the future.
Han Wen arranged this banquet with far-reaching intentions. He introduced Zhang Qi and other officials to Su Hao with the idea of expanding Su Hao's network. He introduced Su Hao to Zhang Qi and others to show off his power.
This means that when Han Wen first arrived in Huai'an Mansion, he also needed to establish his authority and let everyone know that Su Hao was his confidant and that this person had a bright future, which would naturally bring a certain amount of psychological pressure to Zhang Qi and others.
After having enough wine and food, Su Hao, Ma Yu and others stood up to say goodbye and returned to the principal's office. This time, they did not need to find the way by themselves. Han Wen assigned five old government officials from Huai'an Prefecture to go with Su Hao and others.
Fortunately, these five people will stay in the principal's yamen in the future. Han Wen even wanted to say that these people's labor and food money will still be left in the Huai'an government yamen for expenditure, but Su Hao declined politely. Su Hao is not a person who is short of money. Besides, if he has money,
If the government doesn't control the wages of these people, why would these people listen to it?
Su Hao took the first step in Huai'an Mansion with ease. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
