Jizi Volume Chapter 42 Jingdong No. 1 House? A quagmire!
Ping'er waited at the corner gate and the garden gate for a long time, but didn't see Feng Ziying coming out, so he went straight to the garden to look for her.
Just after finding the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and quietly asking the snow geese playing outside the door, I found out that Feng Ziying had not come to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which made Ping'er very puzzled.
Where else could Feng Ziying go to the garden other than the Xiaoxiang Pavilion? Could it be Zhujin Pavilion? Thinking of the day when he and Siqi happened to see Feng Ziying kissing the two girls, Ping'er felt agitated for no reason.
Uncle Feng is really unscrupulous, he actually dares to act so boldly in the Grand View Garden, and he is also the second girl who has always been honest and honest. This is completely beyond Ping'er's expectation.
However, it would be a good thing if the second girl really entered the Feng Mansion. At least in Ping'er's mind, it would be much better than marrying that Sun Shaozu.
Walking all the way to Zhujin Tower, Ping'er and Siqi didn't see anyone outside. They went straight inside and asked, only to find out that they didn't see Uncle Feng coming.
This made Ping'er particularly curious. Apart from the second girl and Miss Lin, there were only Miss Yun, Third Miss, Fourth Miss and Bao Miss.
It's impossible to find Grandma Zhu, and it's also very unlikely to find Miss Fourth. Miss Yun, Miss Third, and Miss Bao are all possible, but I can't search for them one by one.
Just when Ping'er was confused, Feng Ziying had already detoured from the east.
When he returned home, Wu Yaoqing was already waiting in the study room of the mansion.
"Sir, the basic situation of Yongping Mansion has been roughly sketched after a period of understanding." Wu Yaoqing had been ordered to go to Yongping more than a month ago, and combined with Gu Dengfeng and Yi Qianjin
Businessmen started to collect information from all parties regarding their exploration activities in Yongping.
Compared with the prosperity of these prefectures in the south, Yongping is much worse in terms of population and economic development. Yongping Prefecture governs five counties, one state and three wards, and Ji Town is also located in Yongping Prefecture.
Yongping Prefecture can also be regarded as a border area. In addition to the five counties and one prefecture, the three guards of Funing Guard, Shanhai Guard and Kaiping Zhongtun Guard belong to the guard post of Ji Town. The area is actually not small, but because it is close to the border
Wall was often attacked by Mongolian left-wing tribes, and its economy was relatively poor.
Among the three guard towns, Kaiping Zhongtunwei is a complete reclamation guard post, while Funing Guard and Shanhaiwei are mainly border troops and have some guard posts.
The three Weitun divisions occupy the entire north and west, while the five counties and one prefecture of Yongping Prefecture are mainly in the east, south and central areas.
Since the relationship between the military and the local government has always been bad, the two sides have constant conflicts, and they often write complaints to each other. Yongping Mansion has always been a place that officials in the Beizhi area are unwilling to come to. Therefore, Feng Ziying's coming here also surprised many people.
In the eyes of these people, even if Feng Ziying wants to "take the blame and release it", she can definitely go to Jiangnan. Even if she wants to stay in Beizhi area, Baoding, and Hejian, wouldn't it be good? How can she choose a person?
Yongping Mansion that no one wants to go to?
Of course there are some well-informed people who can roughly guess some of the reasons.
For example, Yongping Prefecture is closest to the capital city, so it is most convenient to return to the capital; another example is that the current magistrate of Yongping Prefecture, Zhu Zhiren, is old and frail, often ill and bedridden, and has a kind personality, which makes it easier for the chief and deputy to get along; another example is that Feng Ziying's father is the governor of Jiliao, and
The north and west of Yongping Prefecture are controlled by Jizhenwei Town, which is the jurisdiction of Jiliao Governor-General. Feng Ziying's appointment as Tongzhi will help ease military-civilian relations.
As a result, Feng Ziying took a quick look at the thick stack of papers presented by Wu Yaoqing. He did not read much about the environment, geography, population and economy. Will there be enough time for these in the future? He slowly understood it. What he was concerned about was the current existence of Yongping Mansion.
Problems, causes and potential risks. The fastest updated mobile version::
“Yao Qing, I won’t read much else. Can you tell me specifically, what is the current situation in Yongping Mansion?” Feng Ziying put down the document and asked directly.
"It's not very good. To the north and west is the land of Sanwei. The population is not large. Most of them are military households and their families. A rough estimate is about 20,000 to 30,000 households and between 70,000 and 80,000 people. There are five counties and one state, all in
In the eastern part of Central and South China, the population of the counties is unevenly distributed. Lulong has the largest number and is Shang County. The other counties and prefectures are all middle and lower counties. Banditry is serious, especially in the mountainous areas at the junction of Sanwei and Wu counties and prefectures, where all kinds of bandits are quite rampant.
However, the prefectures and counties are difficult to manage, but the army in the town defense does not care at all, and even colludes..."
“There is still collusion? Are you sure?” Wu Yaoqing’s words surprised Feng Ziying.
To say that the relationship between the military and the local area is not harmonious, it is indeed reasonable to say that the army is laissez-faire about banditry. This kind of situation exists more or less in Yulin, Datong, and these border areas.
If there is a close relationship between the local officials and the army, then the army can naturally assist in the suppression, but if the relationship is not good, then I am sorry. Even if the bandits are right under their noses, these border troops will still ignore them and sit back and do nothing, but they must
Speaking of colluding with bandits is a bit exaggerated.
"It should be so. This is the case at Kaiping Zhongtun Guard and Funing Guard. This is also reported by some of our people in Yongping Prefecture. The previous Funing County Magistrate was attacked and killed by bandits.
The death of the county magistrate led to the dismissal of the county magistrate..."
Wu Yaoqing's words once again surprised Feng Ziying. Even the county magistrate of a county was killed by bandits and the county magistrate was dismissed. This fully shows how bad the public security in Yongping has become.
“As you know so far, the security situation in Yongping Prefecture is not good, so which place is the worst?” Feng Ziying asked again.
“Funing, Leting, and Qian’an are not good, Luanzhou and Changli are slightly better.” Wu Yaoqing answered truthfully: “In a word, the situation in the areas bordering Weisuo is not very good.”
Feng Ziying immediately understood that this meant that the rampant banditry in these three counties was more or less related to the Wei Town Army.
“Well, I understand, so what is the tax collection situation of these five counties and one state?” Feng Ziying was also particularly concerned about this point.
Officials in prefectures and counties are evaluated according to their priorities. The first priority is public security and taxation, and then litigation and education. In a word, if the public security of this place is good, and the land taxes, taxes, labor and labor can be collected and supervised on time, then basically the official seal of this place
The official assessment can be considered as an excellent one. Of course, litigation is also very important. If there are many lawsuits here, it means that the people are not well educated, and they will also be affected to a certain extent.
According to the practice that was continued from the previous Ming Dynasty, each prefecture and county would determine the difficulty and time of appointing an official in this place according to the four types of situations: rush, trouble, fatigue, and difficulty. Later, a side word was added.
Chong, complicated, tired, difficult, side, Chong means that it is located at a traffic hub; complicated means that there are many official duties, which can generally refer to a large population and a large amount of tax collection; tired means that it is difficult to collect taxes and there are many arrears; difficult means that it is difficult to collect taxes and taxes, and there are many arrears; difficult means that it is difficult to collect taxes and taxes, and there are many arrears.
It means that the folk customs are tough, prone to refugees, and social security is poor; Bian refers to the location on the border, with high risks of rebellion and war.
If the five items occupy four or more items, it is called the "most missing"; if it occupies three items, it is called the "essential lack"; if it occupies two items, it is called the "middle lack"; and if it occupies two items, it is called the "simple lack".
", and the importance of this status also directly determines the number of years and priority for officials to be promoted.
Officials in places with "medium vacancies" and "short vacancies" are generally required to serve for three years before they have the chance to be promoted. Each exam lasts for three years, which means that the latter two types of officials are normally
You need to work in a position for nine years before you can get a promotion. If you are "required", you will have a chance to get a promotion if you have completed two exams and are excellent.
For the "most in-demand" positions, you only need to perform one test or above and be outstanding to have the opportunity to be promoted. However, this kind of situation of being promoted immediately is also very rare. It can only be said that this possibility is possible, and more are still
You need to pass two exams before you can be promoted. Of course, there are situations where you may be promoted after completing the first exam but not taking the second exam.
The assessments of prefectures and counties are all conducted in this way, and the situation in Yongping Prefecture is without exception "the most lacking". :(/
Chong, Yongping is known as the first capital of Jingdong. It is the throat of the capital and the mainland to Liaodong, and is also the only way to the inland from the western Liaoning Corridor. It naturally conforms to the characteristics of "Chong".
Yongping Prefecture is not considered "complex" in terms of population. The population is not large and the taxes are not heavy, but the labor is not light, so it cannot occupy the "complex" aspect.
In Wei Town, if there is a war, the amount of labor will be huge.
Yongping Prefecture is well-deserved. Due to social security and the impression of floods and droughts, it is difficult to collect taxes, and the debt has been accumulated over the years.
Difficulty is also defined for Yongping Prefecture. It borders Liaodong. The folk customs are strong and the people are brave and fierce. Moreover, due to the lack of water conservancy facilities and frequent floods and droughts, it is easy to produce refugees, there are many bandits, and the social security is very poor.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that it is directly facing the threat from the Chahar tribe on the Mongolian left wing in the northwest. Although it has slowed down in the past two years, it still faces the threat from these Mongolians who can't tell when they will sneak in at any time.
Because of this, Yongping Mansion can be regarded as the "most in need" place. Although the conditions here are difficult and dangerous, if you can open up the situation and gain praise from your superiors, you have a high possibility of promotion.
"Sir, the tax collection situation does not seem to be very good. The water conservancy facilities in Yongping Prefecture have been in disrepair for many years. The Hulu River and Dingliu River in Laoting often flood. The Luan River above has been flooded for three years.
In Qian'an County, even the Lulong City Wall has been destroyed. Therefore, in the past three years at least, the counties have been repeatedly in arrears. The prefect is in poor health, so the Ministry of Revenue has repeatedly issued orders, but the prefect has ignored them. However,
If you go, I'm afraid this matter will fall on you."
Feng Ziying's scalp went numb after hearing this. She had chosen Yongping before because she thought that Zhu Zhiren was old and frail and in poor health, so it might be difficult for him to do things. But he didn't expect that the situation here was so bad, and it was still the first place in Jingdong.
