Chapter 2135 Gui Zi Juan: Choose the right way to employ people.
Feng Ziying finally realized that the governor was regarded as a temporary position for a good reason.
Because he does not have a complete administrative bureaucracy structure under his command.
At the provincial level, the Administrative and Administrative Envoys' Department, the Provincial Envoys' Department, and the Command and Envoys' Department are not directly subordinate to them.
The Administrative and Provincial Envoys Department is responsible for the other five ministries except the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment. The Provincial and Provincial Envoys Department is responsible for the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The General Command and Envoys Department is responsible for the Ministry of War and the Fifth Military Governor's Office.
As a governor, he was appointed by the cabinet, and nominally carried out errands according to the emperor's orders. However, his title was that of the right minister of the Ministry of War and the right minister of the imperial censorship. In other words, his scope of duties was mainly responsible for military affairs and visiting officials.
, but in fact they are responsible for the cabinet and must take charge of the military and political affairs of the entire Shaanxi province.
But if there are no permanent administrative agencies and personnel under my command, I have to rely on the Chief Envoys' Department, the Inspector's Envoys' Department, and the Dusi's Department to carry out the work, which is embarrassing.
The three divisions are all in Xi'an, but I am in Yan'an.
Moreover, Lu Chuan, the Zuobu Zongzong envoy who accepted the Provincial Affairs Bureau, was a second-rank official. Even if he did well in Shaanxi, he would at most be promoted to a third-rank official when he returned, which was still one level behind Lu Chuan.
Of course, this is just a job title and is not important. The governor exercises power on behalf of the emperor and the cabinet. He is the first rank and must be obeyed.
But obedience is only obedience to authority and responsibility, not to the person.
For a junior like me, it would be difficult for him to be convinced by either Lu Chuan or Sun Yijie.
On the other hand, Xie Zhenye seemed to be willing to obey him. He was almost strictly prohibited in the affairs of Dusi, which made Zheng Chongjian, Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu very satisfied.
However, as a governor, it is not impossible to directly target the prefecture level, but it does not seem so justified.
If the prefecture-level chief officials are very cooperative and supportive, it will certainly be easy to handle, but if they are neither salty nor indifferent, and are not so cooperative and often report to the third department as necessary, then the efficiency will suddenly drop a lot.
There were no problems in Yan'an Prefecture. Pan Ruzhen had completely surrendered to him, so everything went smoothly. But what about Xi'an Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, and Pingliang Prefecture?
That's not necessarily the case.
But Feng Ziying is not in a hurry now. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and she has already made a good start.
From Wu Bao to Fushi, from Pan Ruzhen to Xia Zhiling, as well as Xu Junyang of Mizhi and Yuan Wanquan of Jiazhou, they have all shown a tendency to be willing to join their own side.
Wu Degui, the governor of Suide, was still a little hypocritical, but Feng Ziying believed that he could not hold on for long, but she just felt that Lu Chuan had given him some hope.
When he realized that Lu Chuan's attention could no longer be focused on them, the prefecture and county officials, and he had to consider how to be marginalized by himself, they should have understood that Shaanxi had changed, and a place that belonged to him, Feng Ziying's era, was booming.
Come on, no one can stop it.
Shenmu, the magistrate of Fugu also came here.
Feng Ziying is not too concerned about these two counties located in the northeastern corner of northern Shaanxi, because they are directly under the shadow of the Yulin Army. Even the rebels can only make small fuss on the fringes and cannot cause much trouble.
, the only thing to worry about is the spread of pimple plague.
"It just so happens that you two are here, Mr. Shen and Mr. Qi. I am quite satisfied with the situation in your two counties. I don't have too high requirements. I just want to completely eliminate the pimple plague. I have the prescription.
People have already prepared it. The relevant medicinal materials are not expensive or hard to find. The key is to eliminate the transmission route and completely eradicate the rat infestation in this area... This is the Qingtan Academy organized by the old monk Qige at that time.
"Epidemic Prevention Preparations" written by a group of people and written by myself, although it is a bit shallow and rough, it still has some ideas. You two can take a look..."
After delivering the magistrates of Shenmu and Fugu counties to the door, Feng Ziying bowed her waist solemnly and said, "I'll leave this matter to you two adults. You two adults can keep part of the food coming from Datong as we agreed."
Use it for relief, but remember, it needs to be done in moderation. It’s still early to harvest next summer, so you can’t use it all in a hurry, otherwise you will be blinded by then.”
The two county magistrates Shen and Qi also hurriedly returned the gift and vowed to complete their tasks according to the governor's requirements before leaving.
Feng Ziying also doesn't have high hopes for these two people. One is in his fifties and in poor health, and the other is a civil servant. He passed the civil service exam at 38 and has just taken office. However, Qi Suzhen, the magistrate of Fugu County, is very interested in potatoes, sweet potatoes and
Even though he was still interested in corn cultivation, Feng Ziying took a high look at him.
Feng Ziying feels that she is a bit like the municipal party committee secretary of later generations. She mainly meets with cadres, talks, has heart-to-heart conversations, inspects, communicates, understands, determines work goals, and teaches methods of work.
And who is Pan Ruzhen? The mayor is mainly responsible for execution. After thinking about it, I really think it makes a bit of sense.
As soon as the two left, "Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee" and "Minister of Organization" Wang Wenyan came.
As Feng Ziying's most trusted aide, Wang Wenyan is responsible for providing advice and suggestions on various tasks, and he is indispensable.
All the information must be summarized and judged by him, and conclusions and opinions must be given. At the same time, he must participate in the analysis and prediction of many matters for further deployment and consideration.
At the same time, through Wang Wenyan's half-year intelligence collection in Shaanxi in the early stage, he also had a rough understanding of the cadres in the entire province of Shaanxi, especially the officials of key yamen in some key areas.
Provided to Feng Ziying for reference.
For example, the prefects of two important prefectures, Xu Liangyan and Pan Ruzhen, as well as the prefects of Qingyang and Pingliang, as well as the prefects and county magistrates of Suidezhou, Mizhi County, Jiazhou, Yaozhou, Pucheng, Tongzhou, and Huazhou,
For example, the officials in the Chief Envoy's Department, the Deputy Envoys in the Inspector's Department, and some military personnel were all officials who Feng Ziying had specially assigned to collect intelligence when Wang Wenyan first came to Xi'an to set up a front station.
In this era, the documents and information on the situation of officials in the Ministry of Personnel are not of much value. Just some annual assessments are too watery. It is better to entrust them to their confidants to replace themselves and conduct a review according to their own ideas.
Assessment and judgment are more practical.
"Wen Yan, what is Qi Suzhen like?"
"It's not bad." Wang Wenyan thought for a while and replied: "Master Qi seems to be from Yanzhou, Shandong. I can't remember whether it is Yutai or Jinxiang. Anyway, it should be close to Nanzhi. It should be
He was the person who was elected in the thirty-eighth year of Yuanxi. He was honest, but too square..."
Wang Wenyan dare not say that he has all the important officials in Shaanxi Province in his mind, but he knows most of the prefecture and county officials in Yan'an and Xi'an. He also knows about the important prefecture and county officials in Qingyang, Pingliang and Fengxiang.
I am also familiar with it, but only a few key points of other prefectures are known.
"Well, Shi Cheng, Fang Zheng, how are you doing?" Feng Ziying thought for a while.
"Be strict in everything you do, and be able to implement the instructions from the top to the best..." Wang Wenyan thought for a while before saying.
"Well, he took the initiative to ask Ying to try growing potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn in Fugu. I think it is quite rare. I think Fugu is close to the east of the river and the conditions are good or bad. It is a good place to experiment with these three methods.
BiFushi is more suitable here." Feng Ziying pursed her lips, her eyebrows slightly condensed, "And Fugu is close to Yulin Town and Shanxi Town, and the planting promotion is effective, which can allow the soldiers in Yulin Town and Shanxi Town to have a taste of it. By the way,
Feel the benefits and facilitate promotion.”
"Well, it would be a great joy if locally produced potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn could be used to replace Yulin's military rations. The cost of military ration transportation alone would be saved, which is an unimaginable figure, even if it can replace half of it.
Or 30%, that would be an incredible feat." Wang Wenyan could obviously understand the benefits behind this.
The military rations for the three sides and four towns are basically borne by the summer and autumn taxes in Shaanxi, but it is definitely not enough, so they say it is transferred from Shanxi and Henan. Even if it is transported from southern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, the transportation cost is not small.
, if we can rely on the popularization and promotion of planting in the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi to reduce the pressure on external transportation, the cost savings will not be a small amount, and it can also greatly reduce the local labor pressure.
"Wen Yan, please carefully select our officials from the three prefectures in northern Shaanxi, especially the county magistrates and prefecture magistrates. Those who are capable of doing things, those who are considerate of people's livelihood, and those who are less greedy. The next step is to promote these crops next year.
Considering the prefectures and counties where these officials are located is the key to whether Shaanxi can avoid making the same mistakes in the future." Feng Ziying thought a little too far.
The great uprising in the late Ming Dynasty mainly broke out in northern Shaanxi, and later became popular in Shanxi and Henan. In fact, after a severe drought, the victims were hungry and had no way to make a living. At that time, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn had not yet been introduced, or in other words, they had not been introduced at all.
Although it has been promoted and popularized in these areas, at most it is only planted sporadically in coastal areas, and it is even regarded as a curiosity for the rich.
But by the time these three types of high-yielding, drought-resistant and barren-resistant crops were widely promoted in the north, it was already the time of the Qianlong and Jiaqing reigns, and the surge in population was not without the contribution of these crops.
Feng Ziying does not expect Shaanxi's population to skyrocket rapidly, but if the use of administrative force to promote these three types of crops is effective, it can at least avoid to a large extent the civil unrest that may arise when people are unable to make ends meet due to severe drought, and thus resolve this risk.
possible.
Wang Wenyan was a little misunderstood by Feng Ziying's words. He thought Feng Ziying was talking about the current civil unrest in Shaanxi, but that was about the same. Wasn't the current chaos in Shaanxi caused by the lack of food? Of course, another important factor is
The powerful landlords and the harsh and corrupt officials are both indispensable.
