Chapter 634 Being an official is hard, being a high-ranking official is even more difficult
At the beginning, Jia Liu asked Kui Ni to manage the clan mansion so that Jia Jiashikai could be recorded as Aisin Gioro Shikai at the right time and at the right place. In this way, it would be logical to obtain the legal inheritance rights to the throne of the Qing Dynasty, thereby reducing the internal friction in the Qing Dynasty and providing a better foundation for the Qing Dynasty.
Provide a strong guarantee for peaceful development.
For such a large project, Jia Liu only paid 10,000 taels of activity fee to Queenie.
But for the project of Han people leaving the customs, he spent more than 40,000 taels at one time for Amida's activities, and bribed and recruited those outside the customs, including General Shengjing, Commander Ningguta, General Jilin, and Commander Ulia Sutai.
All Eight Banners dignitaries.
What is the picture?
Don't you want to make a hole in the Thousand Miles Long Causeway so that Han people can flow out of the pass on a large scale?
After all, the population of the Qing Dynasty was close to 300 million, and there was only so much arable land in the pass. The popular uprisings from time to time were not only anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming dynasties, but also the old problem of more people and less land that had troubled the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years.
There are thousands of miles of fertile fields outside the pass, and the products are even richer. It will not be a problem to accommodate tens of millions of people, and it can also greatly alleviate various conflicts caused by land tensions within the pass.
Especially in Zhili, a key development area in Jialiu, there is no chance of a civil uprising.
Therefore, it is necessary to make an opening to divert the poor people in the Zhili area, including Shandong, to other areas in a planned manner, and then cooperate with industry and trade to absorb the remaining population in the land and improve people's living standards. Only in this way can we ensure that the development of Zhili can continue in full swing.
Otherwise, if there is a disaster year and a large number of people are displaced, the industrialization of Jialiu will definitely be affected.
A peaceful environment is the basis for a country to take off.
Last year's religious chaos in Shandong was simply civil chaos. If it happened again this year, Jia Liu's investment would definitely be in vain.
In order to quell the religious rebellion in Shandong, local expenditures in Shandong amounted to several million taels (including the two million taels embezzled by Cathay and Yu Yijian), and the Qing government's treasury also spent a huge amount of three million taels.
In addition, Henan, Zhili, and Tianjin also successively invested a large amount of funds. The losses caused to the Qing court during the few months when water transportation was interrupted also amounted to more than 2 million taels.
The Shandong religious riots that couldn't even be arranged cost more than ten million taels of money. If this happened again or twice, who could bear it?
Jia Liu recruited soldiers from two towns in Shandong, not because he was afraid that the young refugees in Shandong would cause trouble again, and the war would last forever. The first to bear the brunt would be Zhili, the next door neighbor, including Tianjin, which is right under Shandong's nose.
It’s hard, it’s hard to be a human being, it’s hard to be an official, it’s even harder to be a high official!
Sometimes, Jia Liuting wants to go back to the past, when he was Captain Lan Ling and the pioneer school. He would take one or two hundred people to eat and drink, and rob cash transport trucks when nothing happened. What he thought most about was how to kill people and silence them, and how to cash out the stolen goods.
How to please your superiors, how can you worry about yourself to the point of losing your hair like today?
There was nothing he could do, the wheel of time just rolled him to the top of the border. He was no longer interested in money. If he didn't do these things, others would care about his money.
The issue of Han people leaving the country still has to be covered in various guises and cannot be made explicit. It also needs to be accompanied by some "restrictive" policies to cope with the so-called national policy that Han people are not allowed to leave the country.
However, once this hole is opened, no matter how it is opened, it will be difficult to close it again.
As long as the bannermen outside the pass adapt to the life of the Han people from inside the pass, trade and farm, and the Eight Banners officials from top to bottom will form a community of interests with Jia Liu, Jia Liu believes that in at least ten years, he will be able to make the Northeastern China the first place to be separated.
After a hundred years, Han surnames were restored again.
I dare not say that it will not be a problem to restore the total number of more than six million Han people in Liaodong during the Wanli period. If we first restore half of it, we can overwhelm the bannermen in numbers again.
If there is someone there, things will be easier to handle later on.
Jia Liu handed over the coordination and follow-up work of related matters to Ding Qing, deputy director of the office, and listed this project as one of the four most difficult projects together with the steel plant, Tianjin Port, and military factory.
"This project is very important and has great significance. It affects whether my Gongjin Association can control the outside world in the future, and it also affects my personal future. Therefore, you must go all out and overcome all difficulties to complete this large infiltration project for me.
!”
Jia Liu was very optimistic about Ding Qing and hinted that Ding Qing had successfully handled this matter for him and that the first governor of Liaodong in the future would be Mr. Ding.
"I understand, I understand!"
Ding Qing, who has more than 20 years of criminal investigation experience and has been following Mr. Jia Jia for almost three years, has an understanding of infiltration that is beyond ordinary people.
Because his uncle, the governor of Sichuan, told him about the grand strategy of turning against the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Deputy Director Ding has an overall view of the situation and fully agrees with Master Jia Jia's layout.
But there is still one big thing waiting for Master Jia Jia to handle.
It was Director Yang of Yongping Mansion who sent an urgent report, requesting the Governor to immediately send troops to surround Yongping Mansion, and immediately rush to Yongping to take command.
The reason is that there is an anti-Qing and Fuming group hidden in Yongping Prefecture, which involves dozens of officials, large and small, in Yongping Prefecture. It is not even ruled out that all official students in Yongping Prefecture were infiltrated by anti-Qing elements.
Jia Liu, who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, undoubtedly attached great importance to this major anti-Qing case. He immediately ordered Amida to lead 500 gatekeepers to Yongping City and accept the unified command of Director Yang to ensure that there were no anti-Qing elements in Yongping City.
One gets away.
On his side, he said goodbye to his second uncle and his family, saying that he would come to have a wedding banquet when his brother-in-law, Lin Xiucai, recovers.
He also told his second uncle, who was a nephew, that he would be arranged to work as a "visa officer" in Guanmen, responsible for helping those Han people who wanted to leave the customs apply for passports.
Let’s start with the sixth grade first, then go back to my nephew’s side and then gradually improve him.
If nothing else can be done, it is not difficult for the second uncle to retire at the department level.
If the usurpation of the throne is successful, it will be difficult for the second uncle to become the county king.
When Dazhong heard that his nephew had arranged for him to become an official, he immediately shook his head and criticized his nephew for not using the power in his hands to obtain national treasures for his uncle, breaking the country's laws and ruining his own official reputation.
Anyway, I would rather farm at home and do small business when I have nothing to do, than let my nephew be criticized from behind because of him, and let down the emperor's respect for him and let down the court's training for him.
Jia Liu knew his second uncle's temperament. In fact, his second uncle was an upright man. He was also a bannerman of the Han army. He knew the affairs of the banner very well, so he was the most suitable person to be a visa officer.
But the second uncle had such a stubborn temper that he would regard his nephew's good intentions as abusing power for personal gain, so Jia Liu had no choice. Because he was anxious to go to Yongping Mansion to suppress the anti-Qing elements, he said that we would discuss the matter later.
Before leaving, I met my aunt and sisters again. I gave all the gifts I had brought from Tianjin to my aunt. When I left, I stuffed the five thousand taels of silver notes that were originally used as gifts into the hands of my eldest sister.
The eldest sister Jia Yun has never seen so much money in her whole life, and she is too frightened to accept it.
The second uncle and his wife also said that they gave too much. Even if the elder brother was really good to the sisters, it would be fine to give one hundred taels to each person when he got married. How could he give so much as five thousand taels.
You know, these days, the average household's annual expenditure is only more than twenty taels, and the poorer ones even have a few taels.
If you buy land in Linyu County with five thousand taels, you can buy several hundred acres.
That means you won't accept anything.
"This money is my nephew's money for supporting me last year. It is pure and pure. It is also my brother's affection for my sister. If the second uncle does not accept it, he will really treat my nephew as an outsider!"
After Jia Liu finished speaking, he dropped the banknote and left.
The second uncle, Dazhong, took the banknote and chased him to the door. He wanted to return the money to his nephew, but when his nephew mounted the horse, he still hesitated. Finally, he accepted the banknote with a sigh and looked at the back of his nephew who was walking away, feeling in his heart.
At the same time of relief, a rare smile appeared on his face.
The condition of Dongge must be the result of the blessing of the spirit of the old man who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.
