Chapter 2216 Gui Zi Scroll Entering the state and working hard
When Lian Guoshi paid a visit to the government, Feng Ziying personally greeted him at the door, which surprised the new officials in the governor's office.
In their memory, the only people who could make Feng Ziying come to the door to greet her in person were the two chief envoys from the Chief Envoy Division and the few inspectors from the Inspection and Envoy Division. However, the newly arrived magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture could also make the governor
It would not be easy for the adults to greet them in person.
However, seeing the two of them holding arms and chatting and laughing, everyone understood that these were probably close friends of the governor.
When practicing state affairs, I really didn’t expect that I would be forced to come to Shaanxi by Feng Ziying.
He is from Henan, and he has to flee his hometown. If he does not go to the south but stays in the north, apart from the Beizhi prefectures, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi.
However, he had just arrived in Shanxi and the situation had not yet opened up. It could be said that he had just entered Shanxi and was still in the familiarization stage. First, Feng Ziying sent him a letter asking him to find a way to also deploy troops and prepare roads, preferably Lu'an soldiers and prepare roads. The main purpose was to target
The chaos in southern Shanxi may be spread over.
He obeyed, but then the situation changed. The rebel army in southern Shanxi did not cross the Wuling Mountains to invade Lu'an and Zezhou. His military preparations did not play a big role, although he did organize them in Lu'an and Zezhou.
The troops were prepared, but the rebel army did not come, and it felt like the fist was empty.
Feng Ziying's arrangement of rehearsing state affairs in this way was clearly targeted. Of course, it was beneficial to the court and his own promotion and development, but he didn't put much effort into it, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
You have to do the work at that position well. The military preparation road itself has a lot of things, and the situation of Shanxi Dusi is not much better than that of Shaanxi, especially in the face of Shanxi Town and Datong Town taking turns to recruit elite guardsmen to supplement them.
The frontier army, in fact, the Shanxi Dusi Border Guard Station is empty and superficial, and it has a lot to do.
However, changes came quickly. The official document appointing him as the prefect of Xi'an came in May, and letters from Feng Ziying came almost one after another, urging him to take up the post as soon as possible.
Moreover, due to the special period, the Ministry of Personnel specifically informed him that he could skip going to Beijing to report on his duties and go directly to Xi'an to take up his post.
This is also an exception. When practicing state affairs, I had no choice but to pack up my courtesy and come to Xi'an to take office.
Fortunately, his family members were all still in his hometown in Henan, and there were only two concubines in Taiyuan, so it was not too troublesome. He asked his concubines to come over later, and he went directly to Xi'an alone.
"Ziying, is it that exaggerated? Just ask me to go back to the capital to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and report my duties?" Lian Guoshi and Feng Ziying asked with a smile as they walked: "I'm going all the way.
, I feel that the situation in Shaanxi has basically calmed down, and I have a very good impression of Xi'an City. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Those are all superficial, but there are many problems inside. It's already May, and if we delay the end of the summer harvest, the people's belly problems cannot be solved. This winter and next spring, we will have to sit on the wax again, and you and I, two brothers and sisters, will have to go to the hot pot again.
The ants on the bed are restless."
It can be said that Feng Ziying's arrival of Lian Guo Shi has brought relief after a long drought.
Among so many students currently, the only one who is really reliable and can be put to great use is Lian Guoshi.
People like Zheng Chongjian, Wu Sheng, He Fengsheng and Fan Jingwen all need to practice for a period of time before they can be competent. Those like Wang Yingxiong who have never worked in a local area are even further behind.
"The drought in Shaanxi is also serious this year?" When it comes to business matters, practicing state affairs becomes serious.
He came to Shaanxi to work, not just to be an official. Feng Ziying pushed him to the position of Xi'an magistrate, which shows the importance of Xi'an. The Guanzhong Plain is the heartland of Shaanxi. If the harvest here fails again, it will have a great impact on the entire province of Shaanxi.
.
"The situation in the Guanzhong Plain is slightly better. After all, there is the Weishui River. The other prefectures are not optimistic, but overall it is slightly better than last year. But Jun Yu, you have to know that Shaanxi has been going through a lot of troubles in the past few years.
The family has no money left, and it will really collapse if it is delayed any longer, so no matter what, we survive this year. The harvests in summer and autumn will determine whether Shaanxi can smoothly transition to a normal year, and the Guanzhong Plain is the key. You are in Xi'an
, Dazhang went to Fengxiang, and Brother Chu Cai was stationed in Yan'an, so I felt at ease."
Feng Ziying
Practicing state affairs is an honest matter. He needs to practice state affairs. Zheng Chongjian and Geng Ruxi supported several important areas in Shaanxi for him.
"Ziying, it seems that you have high expectations for Shaanxi." Lian Guoshi also smiled, "I walked along the Wei River and it seemed that the situation was okay, but according to your tone, it seems that you are not satisfied yet.
It says there’s no need to go to Shanxi.”
"Again, the essence of Shaanxi is in the Guanzhong Plain, but it is unrealistic to rely on one Guanzhong Plain to feed the entire Shaanxi. It has to bear the main force." Feng Ziying introduced: "Fengxiang, Yan'an, and Hanzhong are also
We have to hold up the situation."
"Ziying, I know you are trying your best to promote potato and sweet potato cultivation. Places like Yan'an and Fengxiang can promote it, but the Guanzhong Plain may still be more suitable for millet and wheat, right?" Lian Guoshi asked: "Of course some corner areas and hilly areas are still suitable.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be grown, but in the best plain areas, corn and wheat must bear the heavy burden.”
"Jun Yu, how to plan and operate these specific operations is within the scope of your authority as the prefect. I will not interfere. I am just telling you about the yield per mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes. The yields of these two crops will be higher in areas with better soil quality.
It's higher than expected, so you have to figure out how to weigh it yourself." Feng Ziying smiled, "Of course, one of the shortcomings of potatoes and sweet potatoes is that the storage time is too short, which cannot be avoided."
While talking, the two of them entered Feng Ziying's study instead of the flower hall that ordinary visitors choose, which shows the special nature of their relationship.
First, Feng Ziying introduced, then Lian Guo Shi asked questions, Feng Ziying answered, and finally Feng Ziying gave Lian Guo Shi suggestions and requirements. What kind of ideal state did he hope Xi'an government could achieve, especially the need to start construction in Hancheng and Huayin.
Iron workshop to strengthen the development of mining and iron smelting industry in Xi'an.
"Ziying, the resources here in Xi'an can't be compared with those in Yongping, right?" Lian Guoshi also felt the huge changes brought to Yongping Prefecture by the development of the iron smelting industry in Yongping, but the iron resources here in Shaanxi
Mineral resources are definitely not comparable to those in Yongping.
"It's a bit worse, but there are abundant coal resources here, and the transportation between Hancheng and Huayin is not bad. We produce and sell our own products, mainly supplying Shaanxi locals. This requirement is not too high." Feng Ziying also knows what Lian Guo is worried about.
, I am deeply afraid that I have set my goals too high, so I take precautions first.
"Well, if people from the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce are willing to participate, we can offer better terms. What about the Cao and Fan families you mentioned?" Lian Guoshi went straight to the point: "The Shanshan-Shaanxi businessmen have rich pockets and are willing to come.
As long as Xi'an government's operations are beneficial to people's livelihood, I will fully support it."
"You can discuss it in detail at the prefecture and county levels. Don't be too harsh on them. After all, businessmen are here for profit. Oreki Shengyin is definitely here for profit. He always refuses to attack the local area.
, so it is best to reach an agreement that everyone can accept and see the benefits. I have contacted the Cao and Fan families, and I feel that they are still prepared for long-term operations, so I think the conditions will be satisfactory."
There is nothing to conceal between Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi. Shanshan merchants are the main force of merchants in the North and have always supported the scholars in the North. Therefore, there is a tacit understanding between them in terms of cooperation. But after all, they are the government and businessmen.
Personal interests may not always be consistent, and entanglements and disputes are inevitable.
Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi are talking about surviving this year, and the key factor is food.
In addition, how to digest the many possible refugees, hungry and disaster victims? Shanxi and Shaanxi merchants must contribute money and effort. So how to make up for their losses is to sell minerals and build iron smelting bases, which stimulate the economy and digest the population.
"Jun Yu, you are here. Familiarize yourself with each state and county as soon as possible and select key states and counties as pilot projects to share the pressure on the province. There is a branch of Haitong Bank here in Xi'an Prefecture. You can also borrow money if you need it, but
Those are all purely commercial activities, which require the principal and interest to be transferred...
Feng Ziying didn't talk nonsense about Lian Guo's affairs: "Xu Liangyan is handing over to you some issues involving relevant officials. You should also think about it carefully. The state and county officials are the key..."
Before doing anything, always use people. Without reliable and capable people, anything you do will be in vain.
"Ziying, I'm new here, and I don't know much about the officials in the government. Moreover, it seems that the Procuratorate only knows the officials in Xi'an Prefecture."
The officials took action, and I heard that a lot of people were captured?" Although I had just arrived, on the way to practice state affairs, I heard that my former colleagues and officials were bending the law for personal gain and implicating many people.
There are many people in jail, and now that he has come to take over this group, he will definitely solve this problem.
"I'll let Wen Yan introduce the situation to you at that time, but you have to figure it out on your own as to how to use it. I can't help you with the people in your office. You can sort it out yourself.
We don’t have much time, so you have to hurry up and don’t ask for too much. Why don’t you bring your staff? Let them get started as soon as possible.”
As usual, those who practice state affairs have their own staff. Now that he is the chief official of Xi'an Mansion, he needs a group of staff. Local officials alone cannot help him integrate quickly.
"The other family members are not here, do you want me to arrange some Auntie Mizhi for you?" After talking about the business, Feng Ziying joked about practicing state affairs, "Auntie Mizhi is famous far and near, I hope you will miss Shu."
Lian Guoshi also laughed, "Okay, my two concubines will arrive soon. I won't bother you to think about it for me. It's your own fault. Don't forget about it when you come to Shaanxi. It's rare for you to interact with your brothers and sisters after you return."
