Geng Scroll Volume 211: The Temptation of Reciting Merit
After thinking about it for a long time, Qi Yongtai felt that his disciple was really a monster.
You may say that he is just a quick thinker, but his execution ability is also designed to be so brilliant. Ordinary operators who have been practicing below for ten years may not be able to compare with his ease. He can manipulate a group of businessmen and gentry in his hands, and one person
Everyone was very happy with it and hurriedly tried to curry favor with him.
Just building the roads from Qian'an, Lulong to Funing and Yuguan was very expensive, but none of these businessmen had any objections. They really followed the orders and prohibitions, which is astonishing.
There is some truth to Feng Ziying's persistence. If such a large amount of achievements are taken away by outsiders, it will undoubtedly be a loss to the Northern scholars.
There is no problem with Wei Guangwei becoming the prefect. As long as the whole story is explained, he will definitely be happy. However, as for practicing state affairs, he has been practicing state affairs since he was a five-member foreign minister, and he is still in a key position such as the Ministry of Personnel. It is indeed a pity, but considering that
Qi Yongtai felt that it was worthwhile to experience the huge benefits that two or three years of working in Yongping Mansion might bring.
After thinking about it, Qi Yongtai felt that Feng Ziying's proposal was still feasible. The only obstacle might be Lian Guoshi's attitude. But judging from Feng Ziying's confident attitude, he estimated that this guy could convince Lian Guoshi.
In fact, Qi Yongtai simply overthought it. The next day, Feng Ziying invited Lian Guo Shi to his house to discuss the big bosses’ thoughts and his own suggestions. Lian Guo Shi agreed without any reason, especially after seeing Feng Ziying
After a series of plans and intentions, practicing national affairs became even more exciting.
From the outside, working in the Ministry of Civil Affairs seems to be a high-ranking position and a prestigious one. There will indeed be a very good future in the future after graduating from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, for Lian Guo Shi, who only wants to do something practical, this makes him
Feeling empty and boring, all kinds of complicated affairs can wear people out of their temper. Compared with Feng Ziying's drastic work in Yongping Mansion, one is in the sky and the other is in the earth.
Now that I have the opportunity to succeed Feng Ziying and work hard on this land that has already laid the foundation, Lian Guoshi wishes he could take over Feng Ziying's work immediately and directly enter the role.
"Okay, Jun Yu, don't think this is an easy thing to do. Those businessmen and gentry are not that simple. Profit comes first. They can do anything, but when it comes to profit, no one will give in.
, you have to think carefully about how to play the role of arbiter in it. I have some relevant information here. You can take it back and take a good look at it first to become familiar with it. I estimate that the situation will soon change after the start of the new year.
Obviously, you won’t have much time to prepare by then.”
Lian Guoshi nodded fiercely: "I understand that since you want to go out and do things, you must be willing to endure hardship..."
"In addition, I would also like to remind you that when you work in the Ministry of Personnel, you are an official in name, but in fact you are still doing official things. It is nothing more than the importance of things. But when you get down there, you are a real person.
Now that you have become an official, I suggest you look for one or two staff members and go to Yongping Mansion. They can help you familiarize yourself with the situation, manage your subordinates, and make friends with the gentry and merchants, otherwise you will not be able to do it alone."
Faced with Feng Ziying's serious suggestion, Lian Guoshi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. Being an official below and being an official in the ministry are two different concepts. We must learn to delegate power and grasp the main points, and how to mobilize resources from all parties.
, rational use is very important.
"Ziying, it seems that you have gained a lot this year." Lian Guoshi said with emotion.
"There is such a process, from unfamiliarity to familiarity, from being helpless and unable to do anything to mastering it with ease. You have no problem at all. I can do it, but you can't?" Feng Ziying encouraged: "If Brother Xianbo becomes the prefect, you and him will also be able to do it."
He is very familiar with it, but he may not have much energy to focus on it, so you have to come over for the specific matters. I will also explain it to the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce and some local gentry who have contacted me. In addition, some local resources will also be handed over.
for you,……"
I also silently wrote down the state affairs.
"In addition, if any of you practitioners are interested in this trip, you might as well introduce one or two of them..."
Lian Guoshi was surprised and looked at Feng Ziying in amazement: "Ziying?!"
"Don't look at me like that. Do you really think that the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce, Foshan Villagers and local gentry can trust you to lead such a big business? If there are no interests involved, how can they rest assured? I don't want you to do it yourself
What to do in it, in a sense, this is more like a pledge." Feng Ziying sighed lightly, "I don't want to do this, but you want to open up the situation as soon as possible and win their recognition and support.
, Only in this way can the convergence of interests be able to gather strength to the maximum extent. I don’t need to explain this truth..."
Lian Guoshi left, and Feng Ziying could see that his footsteps were heavier than when he came, but he could not help him.
This kind of knot should be opened by practicing state affairs. As a member of a noble family in Yongcheng, he just had some feelings that were difficult to accept for a while. Soon he would come to his senses and think clearly about the pros and cons.
Sometimes Feng Ziying herself reflects on herself. It seems that she can't escape the shackles of the times. If you don't step in, it will be difficult to take advantage of them. As a mortal, she wishes to think that she can change the entire system by herself.
And the times, that’s so unreliable.
Therefore, he can only choose to "collude" to a certain extent, and this kind of "collusion" is not even an unspoken rule in this era, it is an explicit rule. At most, it is tacitly understood by everyone. Even the Imperial Prosecutor's Office and Long Jinwei are not aware of it.
I won't pay too much attention to this situation.
Calculated based on the salary system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is really unimaginable for a local official to maintain a decent livelihood for himself and bear the expenses of his staff by relying on salary alone. This is why poor families often have a person who is promoted to a scholar or has an official career.
Those who shine will be widely praised, but it is really ignored that the vast majority of Jinshi candidates and officials are from wealthy families.
*******
Seeing that the spring break is almost over, Feng Ziying is also preparing to return to Yongping Mansion.
Although I know that I am afraid that I will only be able to stay in Yongping Mansion for a month or two before returning, I still have to continue to do what I need to do.
During this time, big bosses from various factions in Beijing are gathering and discussing intensively. It is obvious that everyone is making final efforts for a major personnel adjustment after the spring break.
Although the seven ministers and the chief officials of the Duchayuan have been identified, the scale is larger, or the variables are greater, and the competition is more fierce for the seven ministers, the deputy imperial envoys of the Duchayuan, the censors of the capital, and many important provinces
, the officials of the government are also facing adjustments after the big plan. It can be said that this should be the formation of the ruling core group after the five cabinet ministers Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, Qi Yongtai, Li Tingji, and Li Sancai formed the cabinet since Emperor Yonglong ascended the throne.
The largest and most important personnel arrangement since then.
This timing is really not good.
The war in the southwest is falling into a stalemate, and even has the potential to spread. In the north, the quarrels between the Jiangnan scholars over the formation of Jiangbei Town and Jiang Waterproof Division are still continuing. The huge gap in the household department has made it difficult for the elders of Yigange.
The impact of the reconstruction of the Beijing Camp and the great defeat of the Wuxun Group is still brewing in Beijing...
These are all on the surface, and the various undercurrents under the water are even more difficult to see clearly. However, everyone including Emperor Yonglong knows that this situation cannot continue to be dragged on, otherwise various problems will increase.
The situation will get worse and worse.
If you are not in your position, you will not seek to achieve your political goals; only when you are in your position, you will seek your own policies. This principle applies to everyone. Only by giving these human rights positions can you clarify their responsibilities and allow them to work hard for them, so it is also
It was only in the ninth year of Yonglong's reign that this round of major personnel adjustments took place.
Of course, this round of personnel adjustments cannot be completed in one step. First, the key positions must be determined, then the deputy officials, and then the lower-level officials. But anyone who can be among the officials in this round of personnel adjustments
A person is absolutely attracted to everyone.
After discussing the state affairs with Lian, Feng Ziying summoned Zheng Chongjian, Fan Jing, He Fengsheng, Fang Youdu, Wu Di and others to talk.
Of course, you can't be as open and honest with them as you are with Lian Guoshi. After all, it is basically a high probability event for him to take over Shuntian Mansion and Lian Guoshi. There is also a high probability that he and Lian Guoshi have different understandings on many issues.
Convergence, that's why we can be so sincere.
Although the relationship between Zheng Chongjian and others is relatively close, except for Fang Youdu, they have not reached the same level as Lian Guoshi. Fang Youdu is even inferior to Lian Guoshi in terms of knowledge, but in terms of personal friendship
More closely.
In her conversation with them, Feng Ziying talked more about what she had done in Yongping Mansion and the huge opportunities. She also mentioned that her various actions in Yongping Mansion during the year might be criticized by the officials and the governor.
The hospital talked about his merits and achievements, which made several people extremely envious.
Zheng Chongjian was the most touching.
Feng Ziying, a rebel in Ningxia, single-handedly created the grassland to negotiate with the Tumote leader Bu Shitu, and later fought against the enemy outside the city in Ganzhou. These two achievements made Feng Ziying stand out, and he also proposed
With the strategy of opening up the sea, Feng Ziying directly entered the Hanlin Academy as a copywriter as a second-level Jinshi, and even beat Yang Sichang and Huang Zunsu, who were second in the first-level Jinshi.
You must know that proposing the strategy of opening up the sea does not count as credit. It only allowed the emperor and the court officials to see Feng Ziying's far-sightedness and recognize him. The real merits that allowed Feng Ziying to enter the Hanlin Academy as an editor were his two works during the counterinsurgency.
Credit, this is the real deal.
Now Feng Ziying has stirred up huge waves in Yongping Mansion this year. The series of actions are dazzling. When Feng Ziying mentions the officials and discusses their achievements, how can they not make them feel itchy and uncomfortable.
