Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 613: Actively respond, the wind will come later
"Hmph, you should know that you are making an exception this time. Normally, you have to evade your nationality when you are appointed as an official, but you are from Anqing Prefecture. But this time Jiangnan Province was changed from Nanzhili. It turns out that even if there are differences between prefectures,
It is for those who want to avoid citizenship. Now it has suddenly expanded to fourteen prefectures and four states. Suddenly it is impossible to implement it at all, so it is not followed for the time being. The opinion of the Ministry of Officials is to slowly start to implement this policy within five to ten years. Otherwise, who will
It’s also impossible to rotate thousands of officials at once.”
The Northern and Southern Zhili are not considered provinces, which means that each prefecture of the Northern and Southern Zhili is equivalent to a province directly facing the seven ministries of the imperial court. Therefore, the residence of other provinces is based on provinces, while the unit of Northern and Southern Zhili is based on prefectures.
This in disguise resulted in a large number of officials serving across governments in Jiangnan Province.
This situation is quite common, so it cannot be solved in a short time. We can only proceed according to the original model first, and then slowly change it.
"No wonder the official asked him about his place of origin and whether he had any experience working in the south of the Yangtze River when he was declaring his position in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He didn't understand it at the time. Now that I think about it, the Ministry of Civil Affairs may also be considering this aspect.
There’s a problem.” Pan Ruzhen suddenly realized.
"There is no need to consider this yet, because it is too common here in Jiangnan and cannot be dealt with, so the old system will have to be continued in three to five years, but it will definitely be strictly implemented in five years." Feng Ziying nodded, "I'm afraid you are too
It’s been a long time since you’ve been back to your hometown, right?”
Pan Ruzhen raised his head and calculated silently, "I went back once a year before the civil unrest in Shaanxi. An elder passed away. After that, I was too busy with work in the past few years, so I didn't go back."
"Who else is at home?" Feng Ziying asked again.
"Both parents are here, as well as one brother and one brother. They are all at home." Pan Ruzhen was a little curious when he saw Feng Ziying asking so carefully.
"Well, I'm afraid you also know that Mr. Mingqing is old and lacks energy. He may be retiring from office in a year or two. You, a left-wing political advisor, must help him do something. No matter who comes as the right-wing chief envoy, or
We must do things according to our original principles of doing things in Shaanxi, and strive to do something practical for the common people." Feng Ziying also did not shy away from it, "If Ming Qinggong becomes an official, it is very likely that the right chief envoy will succeed the left chief envoy. Wang Tu
If you take over as the Right Chief Envoy, I hope you can take over as the Provincial Envoy for Punishment."
Pan Ruzhen's heart was beating loudly.
Is this the time to get to the third level?
"Your Majesty has great love, Zhen Pu will work hard and live up to your high expectations." Pan Ruzhen stood up and bowed heavily.
"Okay, you are not working for me, you are working for the imperial court." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid the war in Hebei will last another year and a half, and the military resources required in Jiangnan are indispensable. You must prepare in advance for this.
This year, there will be a bumper harvest in the south of the Yangtze River. Grain can be purchased in advance to avoid excessive price increases in later harvests. In addition, more consideration should be given to planting potatoes and sweet potatoes in the prefectures north of the Yangtze River such as Fengyang, Luzhou, and Anqing. I am worried about chaos and famine in Henan.
It’s indispensable. We may have to adjust food from your side..."
Pan Ruzhen naturally kept Feng Ziying's instructions in mind.
Now Feng Ziying is appointed as the governor of Hebei, and the governor of the entire military affairs north of the Yellow River. Once this battle is over, I am afraid that this person will really be promoted to the second rank of a certain minister. To put it bluntly, before the age of thirty
It is not impossible for something as shocking as joining the cabinet to happen.
"In addition, some of the prefectures such as Zhenpu, Xuzhou, Guangde, and Yangzhou are my classmates, and some are from Shaanxi. They are still in the familiar stage. You have been working in the prefectures for a long time and have the richest practical experience.
, often remind them more,..."
After this earnest instruction, Pan Ruzhen burst into tears of gratitude. He really helped him get on the horse and gave him a ride. This young Minister Feng was extremely kind to him.
Several other people also arrived one after another, especially Qi Suzhen. Feng Ziying also specifically explained that considering that Fengyang Mansion has a vast area and is close to Henan, potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted in advance, just in case. Qi Suzhen could understand the importance.
, and also agreed wholeheartedly.
Although Feng Ziying arranged a lot of personnel, Zhou Jiamo and Wang Tu had no objections after they arrived. After all, Feng Ziying was the governor of Jiangnan, and he was going to the battlefield again this time. No one wanted to offend a prosperous person.
rising political star.
Especially for people like Zhou Jiamo, who is already in his sixties and is a scholar from Huguang. He is also very familiar with Feng Ziying's senior officer Ying Zhen. He has only been in the official position for one or two years. He still hopes to make a good friend of Feng Ziying, and his nephews will also be friends in the future.
It can be arranged by forging a strong relationship.
So when everything was almost arranged, Feng Ziying was ready to return to Beijing.
The only ones that gave Feng Ziying some headaches were Yingchun, Xichun and Yuanyang.
It is not suitable for the three girls to follow him back now, especially since Yingchun's due date is within these twenty days, which is even more impossible, and Xichun is only a little over a month away.
Yuanyang is okay, but it is also impossible to take this bumpy trip.
So after much deliberation, we can only let the three girls stay in Nanjing temporarily, let Yu Chuan'er stay with Yuanyang, and Jin Chuan'er return to Beijing with Tan Chun and Xiang Yun.
It was just as Feng Ziying expected. Before Xiangyun returned to Beijing, Tiangui missed the deadline. He asked the doctor to come and take a look, and he was indeed successful.
There is a sharp contrast between the ecstatic Xiangyun and the forced Tanchun.
During this trip to Jiangnan, everyone "gained", but she gained nothing. She could only confide this pain in her arms with Feng Ziying at night with tears in her eyes.
Fortunately, Xiangyun was just pregnant, so the impact was not big, and we could go back to Beijing together.
Feng Ziying herself felt that during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, she had gone all out. She had gotten four women pregnant in one year. This ability was enough to praise anyone.
After renting an official ship from Nanjing and heading north, we naturally had to stay in Yangzhou for one day.
It is inevitable that even though they are happy with Zhen Baochen, they will also have to endure some complaints. Zhen Baoqi is pregnant, and now she and Zhen Baochen are born together. For Zhen Baochen, she has an extra companion. But Zhen Baochen saw that Zhen Baoqi was pregnant, so she naturally
Got some thoughts.
Feng Ziying inevitably had to make another promise before getting up and heading north amidst the tears in her two daughters' eyes.
Going all the way north, you can feel the changes on both sides of the canal in Shandong. After the war, Shandong recovered very quickly.
However, the rampage of the White Lotus Sect caused another catastrophe in Shandong, but even so, the tenacious Shandong people still used their own hands to make the situation on both sides of the canal look less bad.
Feng Ziying did not stop and went all the way north until he reached Hejian Mansion before slowing down.
This is the land of Hebei. Theoretically, Hejian Prefecture will also be under the jurisdiction of himself, the governor of Hebei. However, the situation in Hejian Prefecture is much better than that of Zhending and Baoding to the west. Feng Ziying met in Hejian Prefecture to replace Yuan Yingtai as Hejian Prefecture. Wang Zhicai of the prefecture.
Wang Zhicai served as the prefect of Hejian from the Qingtan Academy.
He is from Dali, Shaanxi, and is both a scholar from the North. He also has a connection with Qingtan Academy, so he is not so restrained in his speech.
"Xinyi, I won't hide it from you. I will be the governor of Hebei Province immediately. I will be responsible for solving the Bailian chaos in Beizhi and Henan provinces. Although Hejian has been calmed down now, to be honest, I am in Jingzhou, Dongguang After looking at it all, the situation in Cangzhou is not very good, so you can’t take it lightly..."
Wang Zhicai came from Hejianfuzhihejian.
The canal runs through the entire Hejian Prefecture. Most of the important states and counties in Hejian Prefecture are on the edge of the canal. However, Hejian Prefecture's prefectural government, Hejian County, is located in Gaoyang, Li County, and Raoyang of Zhending Prefecture, which are close to Baoding Prefecture. At the junction of Fuzhou and Fuzhou, it is far away from the canal.
"Ziying, I also know this. The situation along the canal is slightly better, while the situation in Cangzhou is slightly worse. The main reason is that the folk customs are too strong. The White Lotus Sect has a deep foundation here. The situation in Xianxian and Suning is even worse. , I am focused on Xianxian and Suning right now, so I put these two places next to Baoding. It is really too close to Baoding, and it is easy for trouble to happen."
"Ren Qiu is not optimistic either, right?" Feng Ziying asked.
Wang Zhicai smiled bitterly, "How can it be okay? Wuguandian Lake and Baiyangdian Lake are over there. Originally, the water bandits and lake bandits had been wiped out long ago, but as soon as the White Lotus Sect came to stir up trouble, they immediately resurrected."
"What is the situation of the guards at Shenyang Zhongtunwei and Datong Zhongtunwei?"
Shenyang Zhongtunwei and Datong Zhongtunwei sound like they have nothing to do with Hejian, but in fact they are inherited from the former Ming Dynasty. During the Yongle period, Hejian Prefecture was moved inland. They are two miscellaneous guards, mainly the Tuntian Guards. On the one hand, he cultivates the land, and on the other hand, he provides some guards similar to those of the Master.
"Hey, Ziying, what do you think? What kind of fortune can these two inland guards have?" Wang Zhicai had a look of disgust on his face, "They are nothing, empty shells, nothing, one or two thousand old and weak. Sick and disabled, if you ask me, it should have been abolished long ago to save occupying such a large piece of land."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown, her heart getting heavier and heavier.
It seems that he was optimistic before, thinking that even if Yuan Yingtai could not solve the difficult situation, he could at least cope with it. He did not expect that even Hejian, a prefecture that should be considered good in his impression, would be so difficult now. So Baoding really What is the situation in the three prefectures of Ding, Nan and Henan?
Could it be that everyone is hiding it from the court, and the actual situation is already beyond control?
If this is the case, then he has really jumped into a pit of fire.
No, no, Feng Ziying thought silently, thinking that the situation would be a little worse, it would be a surprise if it was a little better.
And could Wang Zhicai really be complaining so as not to put pressure on him and ask him to help other governments?
Feng Ziying thought about it and estimated that this possibility was greater.
"Xinyi, let's not say anything else. Baoding is really much worse than your side. Once troops are used, you have to help me." Feng Ziying said unceremoniously: "Shenyang Zhongtunwei and Datong Zhongtunwei The two guards are between you and the river. I don't want you to send out soldiers. You must prepare five thousand men and related mules and horses for me."
One sentence made Wang Zhicai jump up in excitement, "Ziying, where can I go to get you five thousand wives, as well as mules and horses? I can turn cows into horses for you to use, okay?"
This sentence made Feng Ziying laugh again, "Xinyi, are you kidding me? How much food and grass can you carry alone? When this war starts, you don't want the war to spread to your Hejian Mansion, right? Why? You don't care about the overall situation and the situation is so small? How can you make progress in the future?"
"Ziying, don't do this to me. If the war is burning in my Hejian mansion, then you, the governor of Hebei, can't escape your responsibility. If you ask me to provide so many wives, mules and horses, I can't do it!" Wang Zhicai groaned angrily! typical.
"Then tell me, how much can you provide?" Feng Ziying was originally a lion who opened her mouth.
He still doesn't know how much wealth the two poor Tunwei in Shenyang and Zhongtunwei in Datong have. They are just asking for high prices and bargaining on the ground. But Hejian Mansion must provide people and animals. This is necessary. .
Only then did Wang Zhicai realize that he had fallen into the opponent's "treacherous trick" and had trapped him. He snarled for a long time and said angrily: "Master, two thousand, five hundred mules and horses, this is the most I can produce." "
"There are three thousand masters and eight hundred mules and horses. I don't know how long this battle will last. You can't just keep delaying it. I also hope to fight quickly and resolve the battle within a year." Feng Ziying bargained: "By the way. Tianfu is at least twice as rich as you."
"Can our Hejian Mansion compare with Shuntian Mansion?" Wang Zhicai said angrily: "Six hundred mules and horses, two thousand and five masters, no more."
"Deal." Feng Ziying agreed, "Don't worry, I won't engulf your Hejian Mansion's contribution. It will be reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Cabinet when it is due, and when the time comes, all deductions will be deducted."
"Humph, that's what it should be. We in Hejian Mansion are already in a terrible war, and we have to take the lead in setting an example for you. If Jia Hua can't produce tens of thousands of masters and five thousand mules and horses, you are biased."
Wang Zhicai also knew that Shuntian Prefecture Yin Jia Hua had a close relationship with Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying would definitely want to make a deal with Jia Hua.
"More than that, the Shuntian Mansion has to put in a lot more effort. He has to prepare a lot of supplies. Of course, everyone is treated the same, and any deductions are deducted." Feng Ziying expressed her position.
After talking about the business, Feng Ziying talked to Wang Zhicai about the affairs of Qingtan Academy. As soon as Wang Zhicai left, the person who took over the leadership of Qingtan Academy was Wang Ji, a veteran scholar in Ruicheng, Shaanxi Province, who was recommended by Qiao Yingjia.
Qi Shijiao is still serving as the mountain chief, but he is also seeking to become an official as soon as possible, but there is no suitable position. His qualifications are there, and it is impossible to arrange it casually, so he can only wait.
"The situation in the academy is getting better and better. Not only scholars from the North, but also many scholars from Jiangnan and Huguang are willing to come to the academy. Young scholars from the southwest region even regard Qingtan Academy as their first choice. The candidate for the Shanchang Academy can be Relax appropriately." This is what Wang Zhicai is most proud of.
"So I suggest that the next mountain chief and head of the academy may not necessarily have to be scholars from the North, Huguang, Jiangnan, or even Southwest or Lingnan. As long as they have enough qualifications and reputation, this also shows that our academy Be open-minded and don't stick to geographical distinctions." Feng Ziying also agreed, "When I return to Beijing, I will make suggestions to Mr. Qi Ge and others."
Now the scale of Qingtan Academy is increasing day by day, and now it has formed two gardens, the east and west, which can accommodate a thousand people. It has more than doubled compared to when Feng Ziying went there at the time, and it has Jiangnan, Southwest, and Lingnan. The proportion of scholars also increased significantly, and the proportion of scholars in the North gradually shrank, becoming more even and balanced.
"Hey, I'm afraid Mr. Qi Ge and the others don't have much time to think about these things for the time being. There is almost no peace these days. You can talk about it after this battle is over." Wang Zhicai was also filled with emotion.
Feng Ziying also felt the same way. It had only been a year since the governor of Jiangnan came again. He made big moves every time and couldn't hide. Of course, he didn't necessarily want to hide.
When we returned to Tianjin Wei, it was already early August.
Although he knew it was inappropriate to go to Wang Xifeng's place at this time, Feng Ziying still had to go.
Bushiyamala and Zhezhe went to Jiangnan with him, but returned to Tianjin Wei three months later. They are now living with Wang Xifeng, and now Li Wan is also included.
Several women were there, trying to pass through the door, but I didn't seem to be able to do it.
Seeing several women standing side by side in the middle gate, Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction. No matter how much trouble she had, she was so proud to see such a beautiful woman as her own, with all the colors in her arms. Satisfaction, which man can refuse?
Wang Xifeng is still the same, with mixed emotions of joy, anger, hate and love in her eyes, which is complicated, but the desire can overwhelm everything. Li Wan is shy and astringent, Busiyamala is generous, but Zhezhe's face is full of joy without concealing it. , even ran up to her directly, but Feng Ziying could only hug her in front of Wang Xifeng's displeasure.
As soon as they entered the middle courtyard, irrelevant people were excluded, even Feng Ziying's personal guards.
Several women came forward one after another, and Feng Ziying had to hold hands and say a few words to comfort her lovesickness.
That night, Feng Ziying stayed in Wang Xifeng's house.
After several rounds of affectionate love, Wang Xifeng, who was in the age of tiger and wolf, was like a white snake, and her plump body entangled Feng Ziying so hard that she had no choice but to bow down and die.
…
"Uncle came to Tianjin Wei for a visit."
"Oh? What are you doing here?" Feng Ziying froze, and Wang Ziteng's sense of smell did not diminish at all.
"It's not about you. He thinks this is a rare opportunity for you." Wang Xifeng's nasal voice still had the flavor of orgasm, as if she hadn't fully come out of it yet.
"Hmph, what do you mean a rare opportunity? What chance do I have?" Feng Ziying dismissed it.
"It's not that I want you to do anything, but that you can take this opportunity to further consolidate your foundation in the army. Your father is also in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. They meet often..."
Feng Ziying said impatiently: "Don't listen to their nonsense. I have my own sense of proportion. The situation in the army is too complicated. I am the governor of Hebei and a civil servant. Which generals and troops I command and arrange must be based on the actual situation."
Why do we need outsiders like them to tell us what to do?"
"They also have good intentions and want to remind you what's wrong?" Wang Xifeng was a little annoyed, "Uncle, after so many years, can't you see some clues? You can go higher, whether you are a cabinet minister or a chief minister,
Don't you need the support of the army? Then you, the chief minister and assistant of the cabinet, are pinched and unable to let go. You may even be taken advantage of by the emperor. You don't think this situation will continue forever, do you? The cabinet is now strong
, what about the future? What if a more wise and wise emperor comes to power?"
Feng Ziying laughed out loud, "Is this what Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong think? If civil servants are so easily suppressed, then the phrase "sharing the world with scholar-bureaucrats" should be abandoned. Do you think civil servants don't have this aspect?
Are you prepared? You are wise and wise, haha, then you must have a chance to ascend the throne."
"Then what do you mean?" Wang Xifeng suddenly turned over and climbed up. Her snow-white and plump body looked particularly alluring under the light of the fish candle. Feng Ziying couldn't help but slap her ass cheeks that were like silver basins.
, those buttocks are trembling and full of sensuality.
"It's not interesting. Let them stop messing around all day long. I am now the left deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Hebei military and political affairs. So just do your job well. Don't think about other things. There are many things.
, success will come naturally if you work hard, but if you don’t work hard, it’s useless to think about it.”
Feng Ziying really resented these old guys who placed their hopes on him. They seemed to hope that he could join the cabinet as soon as possible so that they could have a more fair treatment for them, veterans of martial arts, and he could understand this.
But understanding is understanding, I can only go my own way and cannot act according to their ideas.
"But Ziying, after you go back and fight this time, what position will the court arrange for you?" Wang Xifeng is more concerned about this point, "Isn't the left deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate unable to stop here? I won't let you do anything.
Minister of the Ministry of War, it’s time for you to be the censor of Zuodu.”
"You have done these calculations clearly. How can I do this?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh.
He knew that many people were actually planning where they would go after the First World War in Hebei.
I am afraid that he is either the censor of the right capital, or the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. This position is extremely high, but the power is still a little inferior, and he is still one step away from entering the cabinet.
If it were not so difficult to arrange, the imperial court would not be so entangled in its position as governor of Hebei.
If there is a suitable candidate, they will never be willing to release themselves from Jiangnan.
But if he is not put back, Yuan Yingtai fails to live up to his expectations, the situation continues to deteriorate, and the cabinet can no longer bear this responsibility.
For Feng Ziying, he hasn't thought so much yet. He can only talk about other things after fighting the battle in Hebei.
The Lotus Sect is a ragtag group, but the total number of White Lotus Sect members in Hebei and Henan is at least three to five million.
Although not all of them may be able to fight, these people can get a lot of support and support in the local area. They are familiar with each other, and they can keep intelligence and get maximum support.
If the government wants to suppress and quell these rebellions, it will be quite difficult to get enough support from the people. It is similar to fighting for the support of the people, which is far from the situation where the locals share the same hatred when foreign enemies invade.
"It's not that I understand the calculation, but since you were the governor of Shaanxi, you have been a third-rank minister. There is no reason for you to go to Shaanxi to turn the tide, come back and act as the mainstay in Liaodong to withstand the Jurchen attack in Jianzhou, and finally in the Jiangnan Incident
Working for the cabinet at the risk of shouldering the responsibility alone, any one of these three major achievements is enough for you to be promoted to minister. It makes no sense that you have performed all three achievements, and in the end, you were dismissed by a censor of the right capital.
