Scroll of Xinzi, the grass tree under the setting sun, section 52, do something
Wu Daonan also considered the possible endings for a young man like Feng Ziying coming to Shuntian Mansion.
One possibility is that Feiyang was domineering and unruly. He thought he had done a good job in Yongping Prefecture and extended his style to Shuntian Prefecture. As a result, he suffered a lot of injuries and even went to the countryside.
The second possibility is to follow the rules and do as the Romans do. After arriving, choose something simple, easy to do, and easy to achieve results, and do it like hello, me, hello, everyone, and then wait until the three-year period is up, and everyone will be happy.
.
This is the wisest and most likely option. Wu Daonan does not believe that during the period when Feng Ziying was writing from the Hanlin Academy to Yongping Mansion, no one was secretly planning and operating behind his back.
No matter how powerful Feng Ziying is, she is still a character who has just entered the official career and lacks experience. His father is also a military commander, and he is familiar with the civil service career. Therefore, his family background does not help him much in his career as a civil servant, but he can do this
Pretty, it must be Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen who are making suggestions for him.
And Feng Ziying also strictly followed the instructions of Qi, Qiao, Guan and others, so she could do it so beautifully. Of course, Feng Ziying must be somewhat capable, at least in terms of execution ability. So now Qi, Qiao, Guan and others
People will definitely remind Feng Ziying to act cautiously and steadily, and to polish her qualifications first.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Feng Ziying is really capable. He can come up with a set of effective countermeasures based on the current situation of Shuntian Mansion. He does not have to go around like the second type, nor does he have to do anything.
Like the first type, they will insist on doing things according to their own intentions, but will adapt to local conditions and combine with the actual situation of Shuntian Mansion to achieve something.
If this is the case, Wu Daonan feels that everyone has nothing to say. What can be done is that Feng Ziying can shine wherever and whenever, like a cone in a bag, no one can cover it up.
In that case, Wu Daonan didn't think that anyone who blocked and suppressed him would have any good results, and it would even be counterproductive.
Wu Daonan can sit in his current position. Even though he may have some shortcomings in political ability, his emotional intelligence is not too bad, otherwise Ye Fang and others would not firmly place him in this position.
Wu Daonan did a good job in raising Wang Wang and making arrangements for the sons of Emperor Yonglong in advance. Whether it was King Shou, King Fu, King Wang or King Lu, Wu Daonan was respected and treated with courtesy by several princes.
Because of this, Wu Daonan showed a normal cooperative attitude on the issue of Feng Ziying coming to Shuntian Mansion to serve as the Prime Minister. Of course, this must be based on the premise that Feng Ziying also respects his status and influence.
Judging from the current situation, Feng Ziying came to visit her as soon as she returned to Beijing, and she is now very polite and courteous. Both parties are still in a state of limited contact and limited cooperation.
A sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Wu Daonan did not stop his head-shaking singing, but only slowed down the rhythm.
"Dong Weng!"
"Xintong, take a seat." The person who came was a middle-aged scholar in his early forties, with vigorous steps and serious eyes. Although Wu Xintong had the same surname as Wu Daonan, he was not related by blood, but was Wu Daonan's capable adviser.
Wu Daonan lacked experience and ability in government affairs, and his energy was not focused on it. However, he had to completely let go of complex and complicated government affairs, and even knew nothing about it. Therefore, Wu Xintong took on this aspect of affairs and was mainly responsible for connecting the government.
Several general judges and referees
work.
Now that Feng Ziying is here, Wu Xintong's main job is to observe and understand Feng Ziying's style and methods of doing things, and at the same time, he must cooperate according to Wu Daonan's limited cooperation opinions.
"Dong Weng, as I expected, Mr. Feng didn't make many novel moves. In the past two days, he mainly worked with the Experience Department, the Zhaomo Office, the Prison Department, the Sixth Fang, the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, and the Taxation Department.
Waiting for the heads of various ministries to discuss and listen to a group of people's opinions on the government's situation last year and some plans for this year, it is quite satisfactory. Listening to their introduction, it is quite modest and to the point..."
Wu Xintong's words did not surprise Wu Daonan. In his opinion, even if he had to act in a new and unique way, it would not be the case now. Without three to five months of familiarity and understanding, Feng Ziying would not be able to come up with a policy strategy for the administration.
.
Moreover, Feng Ziying's prestige in Shuntian Prefecture has not yet been established. She has herself at the top, and is in charge of the government, and is responsible for judging and recommending officials. How can she do something shocking to the world? Even if she wants to implement it, no one can believe it.
It is the most normal behavior to behave like this now. Wu Daonan even has some small thoughts. Feng Ziying has to encounter some problems that he is not convinced of, and even be ignored and betrayed. Only then will he understand the huge gap between Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion.
, I understand that this matter in Shuntian Mansion is not that easy to do.
"But Mr. Feng seems to be a little unclear on the rules of doing things. He also summoned some officials and asked about the situation..." Wu Xintong frowned.
"Oh? He's violating some taboos." Wu Daonan smiled, "I'm afraid the chief officers of each department are not very satisfied, right?"
"Yeah, but he didn't ask deeply. It was more like a gesture to be approachable." Wu Xintong thought for a while and said.
"Well, it's also what I expected. Let Ziying get to know her better." Wu Daonan smiled, "Ziying is so calm in doing things, which makes me feel relieved. I'm worried that he is eager to achieve success.
, that’s unwise.”
Wu Xintong also stroked his beard and nodded: "It will take some time for Mr. Feng to gradually become familiar with the twenty-two counties in the five states. I heard that when he was in Yongping Mansion, he went to each state and county one by one to understand the situation.
He can keep his composure, but Yongping Prefecture only has six prefectures and counties, while our Shuntian Prefecture has more than twenty, so he needs to have some energy and patience..."
"Let him go." Wu Daonan checked the tea cup leisurely, "Mei Zhiye, you can make more contacts. It is said that Feng Ziying adopted the daughter of the Xue family who broke off the engagement as a concubine. This is quite a curious story.
What a wonderful thing, I wonder if the two of them will be embarrassed after meeting?"
Wu Daonan and Wu Xintong laughed almost at the same time.
While Wu Daonan and his staff watched with cold eyes what Feng Ziying did after taking office, Feng Ziying was indeed carrying out "research" as they said.
According to the practice of modern officials taking office, this is research and discussion, department by department. Through the conversation, we not only understand the work content and situation of each department, but also understand and analyze the state and mentality of the officials through the conversation.
This is slightly different from the common practice of officials of this era.
When officials in this era take office, they usually summon their subordinates directly, and then put forward their own intentions and ideas, and let the subordinates do things according to their own intentions. As for whether there are any mistakes or inappropriateness in the process, that is all in the process of doing things.
China will take its time to solve the problem later, and pre-investigation and post-event summaries are not the norm. On the contrary, it is easy to give people the impression of being cautious or lacking courage and responsibility.
Of course, this does not mean that officials do not have any preparations. Generally speaking, officials' staffs will make some preparations, but it is taboo to solicit opinions from subordinates, especially from officials.
However, Feng Ziying didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He also knew that what he was doing might be a bit taboo, so he cleverly mixed some officials among the officials to understand the situation incidentally, without being so deliberate. Even so,
Still attracted some criticism.
After returning to the mansion and taking off her official uniform, Feng Ziying also felt a little tired.
The situation in Shuntian Mansion is more complicated than imagined, and the situation is worse than imagined. It can be said that in the past few years, Wu Daonan has almost adopted a procrastination strategy. As long as he can get through it, he will get through it, and he will delay it as long as it can get through. In fact,
If there is an issue that cannot be avoided, then we should look for a muddled strategy to deal with it. Basically, there are not many strategies that can really solve the actual problem.
There is a lot involved here, from taxes and levies to the construction of water conservancy facilities, from urban construction and municipal management, from cleaning up hidden households to population data, from post office management to horse administration affairs, from public security conditions to grain reserves, almost every
In the same job, Feng Ziying can hear many questions just by simply listening, which is shocking and makes people unable to sleep peacefully.
After these few days, Feng Ziying felt that the reason why the two pavilion elders Ye Fang agreed that she would take over as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion was because they really felt that Shuntian Mansion could not continue like this, and they were unwilling to let Wu Daonan leave.
, then it is essential to find a character who will not pose too much of a threat to Wu Daonan's status, and even needs to be solidly polished.
He had long known that this position presented both challenges and opportunities, but he did not expect that this challenge would be all-round and extremely difficult.
Seeing her husband's preoccupied look, Shen Yixiu placed her daughter on her husband's hand. The deep expression in Feng Ziying's brows finally relaxed. Looking at her daughter's gradually relaxing brows, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Well, she didn't make a fuss today, did she?"
"You're very good, sleep after eating, and eat after sleeping." Shen Yixiu saw that her husband's mood gradually returned to calm, and then she sat down next to him and whispered: "Is there something wrong with your official duties?"
"Well, I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect it to be so bad." Feng Ziying teased her daughter's face, "No wonder the princes in the court were so willing to let me sit in this position. Maybe they were just waiting for me to hit a wall or even cause trouble. Let me go to the field."
"Really?" Shen Yixiu was startled and sat up straight, "Is it that bad? What should I do?"
"The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, and once they arrived, they were safe. They couldn't fulfill their wishes." The corners of Feng Ziying's mouth turned up slightly, "It would be difficult to make me bow my head."
