Chapter 1272 Gengzi Volume Suggestions
“Ziying, what you said is indeed heart-warming, but it may not be like this in Yongping Mansion everywhere.” Zheng Chongjian was filled with emotion, but he still analyzed Feng Ziying’s introduction objectively.
"As you mentioned, Yuguan Port happens to be at the supply terminal of the Western Liaoning Corridor, and it is also very close to the Eastern Mongolia region. Your Majesty intends to win over the Hercynian Jurchens and Inner Khalkha people to compete with the Chahar and Jianzhou Jurchens. , just in time to create Yuguan Port, and the rich iron ore in Yongping Prefecture is not available in other prefectures. How could it be possible to have such conditions in another place?"
Fan Jingwen disagreed with He Fengsheng's point of view: "Dazhang, each place has different situations and it just depends on local conditions. Yongping Prefecture has many mines and has Yuguan Port, so the location is good, so Ziying chose to build a mine and develop the mine. If the path of commerce and trade changes to another place, there will definitely be other advantages and disadvantages. If the public security is not good, then strong rectification will be carried out and an iron fist will be used to eliminate it; if education is not flourishing, then schools and colleges will be built and education will be encouraged; if taxation is weak, then the evil gentry will be battled with wits and courage. ,…, after all, we can find a way.”
Zheng Chongjian smiled bitterly. Fan Jingwen spoke in an orderly manner, but he thought the problem was too simple.
Not everyone can copy Feng Ziying's model in Yongping Prefecture. Otherwise, do you really think that so many Jinshi scholars in various subjects who went to Fuzhou have not achieved outstanding political achievements?
Yongping Mansion was able to achieve such results this year because of the right time, place, and people. Of course, Zheng Chongjian also admitted that Feng Ziying’s ability also played a major role in it. However, without the specific environmental conditions of Yongping Mansion, Ziying cannot achieve such beautiful political achievements.
Of course, Feng Ziying also knew that Fan Jingwen's ideas were somewhat idealistic, but now he just needed to arouse the willingness of these people to go to Fuzhou to work hard. As for going through all kinds of hardships down there and getting bruised and bruised, that was a Scholars and officials must go through a process of growth. Without experiencing these, they will not be able to grow.
This group of students should be the ones who have the most similar views and feelings to him. If they can be taught and transformed through persistent indoctrination and transformation, they can accept many of his ideas and apply them in practice. If they take one by one, they will definitely be able to achieve success. It is far better than the effect of fighting alone, and at the same time, it can gather a group of like-minded comrades within the Zhou court system.
"What Dazhang and Ke Yao (Fan Jingwen) said have some truth. The situation in Yongping Mansion is indeed special. In addition, it caught up with the Mongolian invasion at this time. I must be lucky." Feng Ziying smiled. , "What Ke Yao said about adapting measures to local conditions is also very pertinent. If we go to Jiangnan Prefecture, should we encourage farming and mulberry farming and support industry and commerce? When we go to Huguang Prefecture and County, we will naturally build water conservancy projects and reclaim wasteland. When we go to Shanxi and Shaanxi, we will naturally To improve public security, store grain and provide relief, in short, it is not the same. How to choose depends on the actual local situation. However, I think that this kind of training is extremely important no matter what, and there is no need to be too obsessed with public support and political performance. , even if we may not be able to achieve results for a while, as long as we persist, we will definitely see results..."
Feng Ziying reminded her tactfully, which made everyone who had been sighing and sighing blush a little.
In the past, everyone was envious of Feng Ziying's achievements, but ignored what Feng Ziying did in it, and even ignored the original intention of doing things. Therefore, Feng Ziying reminded everyone not to forget the original intention of scholars becoming officials. If everyone is like this If you speak in front of your elders, you will be criticized and reprimanded again.
“Ziying, do you mean to suggest that we all apply to go to Fuzhou?” Fang Youdu directly asked the core question.
"Well, that's not necessarily the case. If you feel that you are doing very well in your current position and feel that you are very promising and promising, then you don't have to go down immediately. But if you feel that Xiao Guicao is just following the steps, it doesn't matter. It makes sense, then you can consider giving it a try. In addition, you also need to consider your own situation, including your family..." Feng Ziying paused, "But I personally strongly suggest that if you have the opportunity, it is best to go to Fuzhou to sharpen your skills while you are young. In a few years, the gains from experience will definitely far exceed those spent in the ministry.”
Feng Ziying spoke very solemnly, and several others nodded thoughtfully.
This is not a simple matter, it involves their own lifelong future. Although they are now envious of Feng Ziying's performance, at first it was just an expectation. They did not know that Feng Ziying might be promoted two levels to become the Fu Cheng of Shuntian Mansion; Secondly, they also have to consider themselves whether they can do as well as Feng Ziying in that position; thirdly, whether there is such a suitable opportunity for them to show their talents.
These are all things that need to be carefully considered. How can we become hot-headed and impulsive based on Feng Ziying's words?
But it has to be said that Feng Ziying used her own examples to prove that many things can be done, especially at the Fuzhou level. There may be more opportunities for her to perform. The hero is young and the time is right. Don't take advantage of this opportunity to take a chance. , it is inevitable that you will not regret it for the rest of your life.
This kind of heartbeat will always linger in their hearts, and it will gradually ferment and ferment until it is stimulated by an event, or it suddenly breaks out at some point.
The group of people said their goodbyes and left. Feng Ziying sat silently in the study.
It seems that these students are not so easy to fool, and they need to carefully consider their own future and destiny.
But he could also feel that several people were a little moved. After all, he had already distanced himself from them. If they didn't catch up, they would only be further and further away in the future.
Now everyone can still talk and express their feelings freely together, but in the future, if they are still in the rank of sixth or seventh rank officials, but they have already entered the ranks of third and fourth rank officials, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to express their feelings as freely as now. .
While thinking about it, I heard that Baoxiang came to report that Zheng Chongjian and Fang Youdu left and came back.
Zheng Chongjian and Fang Youdu met at the door, both of them smiled knowingly.
Compared with Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Di, Zheng Chongjian, Fang Youdu and Feng Ziying have a better relationship than the three of them.
Zheng Chongjian and Feng Ziying had the special experience of going to Ningxia to quell the rebellion together. In addition to their connection with the academy, Fang Youdu could barely be considered an in-law. His sister was betrothed to Feng Ziying's brother-in-law Xue Biao.
"Uncle Fang, do you have anything else to ask Ziying?" Zheng Chongjian didn't care. He knew that Fang Youdu and Feng Ziying were now relatives.
"Well, we have to ask for accurate information and ask for clarification. If we ask too deeply about some things beforehand, it will inevitably embarrass Ziying, as if she is forcing us." Fang Youdu also knew that Zheng Chongjian and Feng Ziying have a close relationship. .
“Then let’s get together.”
When the two entered the room, they stopped being polite and directly asked Feng Ziying what she thought.
"Dazhang, Uncle Fang, there are only two of you. I won't go into details. After the new year, there will be big changes in the personnel affairs in the court. The capital and police plans will all come to a conclusion after the new year. This will probably be the biggest event since the emperor ascended the throne. Adjustment, in addition to the changes in the ministers and ministers in the court, there will also be many changes in the provinces and prefectures. In my opinion, instead of spending time in the ministry, it is better for you two to look for opportunities to go down. There are many opportunities now, no matter in the north or north. Zhizhi, Shandong, Shaanxi, or Huguang, Jiangnan, as long as you find a suitable path, you can achieve something..."
Zheng Chongjian did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "In Ziying's opinion, if I want to go to Fuzhou, where do you think I should go?"
Zheng Chongjian is good at military affairs and has been immersed in the Ministry of War in the past few years. Feng Ziying thought for a while and said, "Huguang, or Sichuan."
“Because of the Southwest War?” Zheng Chongjian frowned, “Does Ziying think this war can last for a long time? Feixiong has already gone to Huguang, it seems...”
"I think it may not stop in one or two years. This is just an opportunity. As long as Fei Xiong is going to counsel military affairs, you are different. If you go there, you may serve as the general counsel of the government and support the war ahead, and you can use your talents." Feng Ziying Shake his head.
Zheng Chongjian was silent.
He likes military affairs, but as Feng Ziying said, he may be serving as a general magistrate for a government, but the general magistrate is generally in charge of matters such as grain transportation, farming, and water conservancy. If it is related to military affairs, it is to support the logistics of grain transportation. .
Although this matter may sound like nothing more than logistical support, troops and horses must go ahead before food and grass are used. Logistical support is crucial in a war. If you do a good job in this aspect, you will definitely get credit.
After thinking about this, Zheng Chongjian secretly made a decision: "Ziying, I understand."
"Well, as long as you understand." Feng Ziying glanced at Fang Youdu again: "As for Uncle Fang, you have spent some time in the Ministry of Punishment, and you must also understand that it is not easy for the Ministry of Punishment to gain success. Bu Jing, even if you clean up, you are just fulfilling your duties, unless it involves rebellion..."
Of course Fang Youdu understood this and immediately understood, "Rebellion? Ziying is talking about the White Lotus Sect?"
"It's not necessarily just the White Lotus Sect. When it comes to such secret societies, almost all local gentry and powerful people are behind it. It's not easy to investigate and deal with, and it's very involved. That's why the Ministry of Punishment and Long Jinwei are both responsible. So if we can I have made some achievements in this area, I guess..."
Fang Youdu rubbed his chin, "The White Lotus Sect is widespread in Beizhi, Shandong, Shanxi and even Nanzhi, but especially in Beizhi. What Ziying means is that if I live in Xiafu Prefecture, will I be elected to Beizhi?"
"Well, as far as I know, the spread of the White Lotus Sect in Beizhi and even the important areas of Gyeonggi, Shuntian, Yongping, Hejian, Guangping, Zhending, and Baoding is becoming more and more intense. You can choose one of them." Feng Ziying gave a suggestion. .
Fang Youdu readily agreed.
