Wang Xian, the left minister of the Ministry of War, poured wine and comforted him: "Sima Moyou, the situation in Liaodong should indeed change."
Wang Qiong looked melancholy: "It can be transformed in anyone's hands, but it is in my hands."
"Mr. Yang Ge (Yang Tinghe) is eager for your objection," Wang Xian reminded.
"No matter what, you and I must oppose it." Wang Qiong said helplessly.
The recovery of the civilian power of the Three Guards in southern Liaoning was a great victory for the civilian clique over the military attaché clique. Even if Yang Tinghe did not want to see Wang Yuan perform meritorious service, he did not dare not to express his support, otherwise he would have betrayed the civilian camp.
But Wang Qiong and Wang Xian are very embarrassed. They both belong to the civil service group and are related vested interests.
Once the imperial court approves Wang Yuan's memorial, a piece of the power of the Ministry of War will be taken away. The prestige of the Minister of War and the Minister of War will also be damaged. At least their subordinates will feel that their superiors are incompetent.
The butt determines the head!
The next day, there was a court meeting.
Before the cabinet could say anything, the Metropolitan Procuratorate jumped out first and strongly supported the content of Wang Yuan's memorial.
The big bosses in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have basically all served as governors, and there have been several governors and governors in Liaodong. They are well aware of the bad governance in Liaodong, and they want to reform it but are unable to do so. Now that Wang Yuan finally takes the lead, how can they not try their best to promote this matter?
Wang Qiong and Wang Xian, on behalf of the Ministry of War, routinely objected. But that kind of opposition for the sake of face was like being dragged into a room by your boyfriend on Valentine's Day, duplicitously saying that you don't want it.
Don’t you want to change your position in the military department?
Historically, during the Jiajing period, the imperial court not only took back the civil power of Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and Xuancheng, but also further took back part of the military power of these garrison posts. This was promoted by the Ministry of War at the time, because there was a severe shortage of war horses in successive years of war.
The Southern Guards refused to return the pasture, which made the military department in charge of them angry.
The Ministry of War opposed it to no avail, and the court unanimously approved it.
Since Yang Tinghe can't block it, he can jump out and grab the credit. All he needs to do is make this happen.
Under the leadership of Yang Tinghe, the reform plan was quickly put forward.
The Minister of Liaodong Xingtaipu Temple (from the third grade), the Minister of Yuanmasi Temple in Liaodong, and the deputy envoy of Shandong Province, were in charge of the civil affairs of the three guards in southern Liaoning.
He also established the Shandong Administrative Bureau in southern Liaoning and sent one member each from Shandong's left and right councilors (from the fourth rank) to assist the Minister of Xingtaipusi in managing the civil affairs of the three guards.
In addition, in Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou, a civil officer was added, who was concurrently served by Shandong Anchasi (from the sixth rank). The official rank is equivalent to the prefectural magistrate, but the rank is lower than the prefectural magistrate, and he has the power to open a government
, in fact, it is the establishment of Zhizhou in disguise.
In addition, several officials were established in Sanwei. The official rank was one level lower than that of the county magistrate, but the rank was higher than that of the county magistrate.
Yang Tinghe did a great job. Anyway, Wang Yuan resisted local pressure and directly carried out further reforms, which was almost equivalent to setting up state counties in southern Liaoning. The troubles were Wang Yuan's, and the main achievements were Yang Tinghe's. They were sure to make a profit.
It's a no-compensation deal.
Wang Yuan was indeed the initiator of this matter, but Yang Tinghe was the real promoter. His reputation as a scholar will surely rise again in the future.
In order to implement the policy as quickly as possible, Yang Tinghe spared no effort. Not only did he quickly issue decrees, he also urged the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs to quickly select officials and allocate money and food, without giving the Liaonan generals any time to react.
The Liaonan generals reacted so poorly that they were frightened by Wang Yuan!
There was also Yang Tinghe's tacit cooperation. Cai Yu's entire family was exiled to the frontier, his female relatives were sent to the Jiaofang Department, and their property was confiscated and used to recruit more civil affairs officials. With such an end in sight, how dare the Liaonan generals dare to rebel against Governor Wang?
As long as the military households in Sanwei in southern Liaoning have more than two remaining members, they can be divided into civilian households and will be managed by local civil affairs officials in the future.
For those military households, this was nothing short of shocking news.
Even if a military household passes the Jinshi examination, the household registration will still be a military household, and the descendants will also be a military household. Only when the official is the Minister of the Ministry of War, can it be automatically changed to a civilian household, and the direct descendants can also be changed to a civilian household (the other five ministers and cabinet elders are not allowed, so still
You must ask the emperor for permission).
This was the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty that they were directly transformed from a low-level military household to a civilian household. They were lucky enough to meet Wang Yuan as the governor.
When Zhu Yuanzhang first established the household categories, they were not discriminatory except for the lowly households. Civilian households, military households, craftsman households, and kitchen households were all eligible for the imperial examination. The real problem was the corruption of officialdom. Take the military households in Liaodong as an example. You can at least
You have to come from a low-level military officer family (above Xiaoqi) to have a chance to be admitted as a scholar. Zhu Yuanzhang did not have such a rule, it was all an unspoken rule created by the Liaodong military attache.
The military household was quite prosperous back then, but as the military attache group became corrupted and Zhu Di created the eunuch group, it gradually fell to its current situation.
Horse politics is also mainly related to Zhu Di. This guy went to the north every now and then. No matter how many horses the Ming Dynasty raised, it was not enough for consumption. So he forced military households and civilian households to raise horses freely, and also established a compensation system. When he was alive, the losses from horse breeding were
It can be divided equally among officials at all levels, and when he dies, it will all be passed on to the people at the bottom.
North Korea was also miserably cheated. The father of the Ming Dynasty frequently asked for tens of thousands of war horses, and the son could only grit his teeth and provide as much as he could. In North Korea at that time, even high-ranking officials were assigned the task of raising horses for the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, when Ming Dynasty purchased war horses from North Korea, it always had the power to set the price, and it all depended on father's mood to give more or less.
In the more than sixty years between the last years of the Goryeo Dynasty and the early years of the Joseon Dynasty, Ming Dynasty bought more than 70,000 war horses. Except for the years of the Jingnan Campaign, they barely bought them at market prices. In the other years, they were all at a loss. Goryeo,
The North Koreans worked hard to raise horses and paid their own money to transport them to the Ming Dynasty, just for the smile of Emperor Bo's father.
It's a pity that there is no such good thing now.
Dad wants to buy a horse? Yes, father and son have to settle the accounts clearly and must pay according to the market price!
Alas, this traitorous son of North Korea has already grown strong wings.
At this time, Wang Yuan was very angry. The imperial court allocated 3,000 horses. Not to mention being used as horse breeds, some of them were hard enough to pull carts, so they were sold directly to the private sector for money. Then, Wang Yuan spent money to buy 2,000 horses from North Korea.
The horse breeding actually cost more than 80,000 taels of silver.
There is no way, horse breeds are very expensive, and North Korea has to deliver the goods to your door, which costs a lot of money on the way. More than forty taels of silver for a good horse breed is indeed the market price.
Only 2,000 horses can be raised this year because of the lack of pasture. Grass seeds have just been sown in the first batch of 30,000 acres of pasture to be restored, and horse breeders have to drive the horses to the barren mountains and ridges to eat grass.
In order to promote good health and good health, Wang Yuan also wrote a letter back to Beijing and asked people to transport all the good horses at home to southern Liaoning for breeding, leaving only one for Song Ling'er to ride.
Huang E asked Xia Chan to follow the horse on the road, and sent a maid to take care of Wang Yuan's daily life.
Before Xia Chan arrived, a group of monkeys arrived.
Wang Yuan asked Yuan Ma Jianzheng (zhengjiupin) very speechlessly: "Why did you catch so many monkeys?"
The Yuan Horse Supervisor was explaining with a smile: "I don't know, Mr. Wang, but this is 'Bi Ma Wen'. Monkey urine and horse urine are mixed and fed to horses to avoid horse plague. Horse farms have to feed a group of monkeys."
"Nonsense, why don't I feed monkey urine to my BMW?" Wang Yuan scolded, "You can raise monkeys, but you are not allowed to feed horses!"
