Chapter 1333 Xin Zijuan The setting sun has something to do with the grass and trees
Wu Daonan has also considered several possible outcomes for a young man like Feng Ziying coming to Shuntian Mansion.
One possibility is that Feiyang was domineering and unruly. He thought he had done a good job in Yongping Prefecture and extended his style to Shuntian Prefecture. As a result, he suffered a lot of injuries and even went out of office.
The second possibility is to follow the rules and do as the Romans do. When you come here, choose something simple, easy to do, and easy to achieve results, and do it like hello, me, hello, everyone, and then wait until the three-year period is up, and everyone will be happy. .
This is the wisest and most likely option. Wu Daonan did not believe that no one was secretly planning and operating behind Feng Ziying's back during the period when Feng Ziying was writing from the Hanlin Academy to Yongping Mansion.
No matter how powerful Feng Ziying is, she is still a character who has just entered the official career and lacks experience. His father is also a military commander, and he is familiar with the civil service career. Therefore, his family background does not help him much in his career as a civil servant, but he can do this Beautiful, Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen must be making suggestions for him.
And Feng Ziying also strictly followed the instructions of Qi, Qiao, Guan and others, so she could do such a beautiful job. Of course, Feng Ziying herself must have some ability, at least in terms of execution ability. So now Qi, Qiao, Guan and others People will definitely remind Feng Ziying to act cautiously and steadily, and to polish her qualifications first.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Feng Ziying is really capable. He can come up with a set of effective countermeasures based on the current situation of Shuntian Mansion. He does not have to act like the second type and do not Like the first type, they will insist on doing things according to their own intentions, but they will make some achievements based on local conditions and the actual situation of Shuntian Mansion.
If this is the case, Wu Daonan feels that everyone has nothing to say. What can be done is that Feng Ziying can shine wherever and whenever, like a cone in a bag, no one can cover it up.
In that case, Wu Daonan does not think that anyone who blocks and suppresses will have any good results, or even be counterproductive.
Wu Daonan can sit in his current position. Even though he may have some shortcomings in political ability, his emotional intelligence is not too bad, otherwise Ye Fang and others would not firmly put him in this position.
Wu Daonan did a good job in raising Wang and early arranging the sons of Emperor Yonglong. Whether it was King Shou, King Fu, King Wang or King Lu, Wu Daonan was respected and treated politely by several princes.
Because of this, Wu Daonan showed a normal cooperative attitude on the issue of Feng Ziying coming to Shuntian Mansion to serve as the Prime Minister. Of course, this must be based on the premise that Feng Ziying also respects his status and influence.
From the current situation, Feng Ziying came to visit him as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he is very polite now. Both parties are still in a state of limited contact and limited cooperation.
A sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Wu Daonan did not stop his head-shaking chanting, but only slowed down the rhythm.
“Dong Weng!”
"Xintong, sit down." The person who came was a middle-aged scholar in his early forties, with vigorous steps and serious brows. Although Wu Xintong had the same surname as Wu Daonan, he was not related by blood, but was Wu Daonan's capable adviser.
Wu Daonan lacked experience and ability in government affairs, and his energy was not focused on it. However, he had to completely let go of the complex and complicated government affairs, and even knew nothing about it. Therefore, Wu Xintong took on this aspect of affairs, and was mainly responsible for handling the affairs of the government. Several general judges and referees
work.
Now that Feng Ziying is here, Wu Xintong’s main job is to observe and understand Feng Ziying’s style and methods of doing things, and at the same time, he must cooperate according to Wu Daonan’s limited cooperation opinions.
"Dong Weng, as I expected, Mr. Feng didn't make many novel moves. In the past two days, he mainly worked with the Experience Department, Zhaomo Institute, Prison Department, Sixth Fang, Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, and Taxation Department. Waiting for the heads of various ministries to discuss and listen to a group of people's opinions on the government's situation last year and some plans for this year, it is quite satisfactory. Listening to their introduction, it is quite modest and to the point..."
Wu Xintong's words did not surprise Wu Daonan. In his opinion, even if he had to do something new and unique, it would not be the case now. Without three to five months of familiarity and understanding, Feng Ziying would not be able to come up with a policy strategy for the government. .
Furthermore, Feng Ziying's prestige in Shuntian Prefecture has not yet been established. She has herself at the top, and governs the country, communicates with judges, and promotes officials at the bottom. How can she do such shocking things? Even if it were to be implemented, no one would believe it.
It is the most normal behavior to behave like this now. Wu Daonan even has some small thoughts. Feng Ziying has to encounter some problems that he is not convinced of, and even be ignored and betrayed. Only then will he understand the huge gap between Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion. , I understand that this matter in Shuntian Mansion is not that easy to do.
"Oh? He's violating some taboos." Wu Daonan smiled, "I'm afraid the chief officials of each department are not very satisfied, right?"
"Well, but he didn't ask deeply. It was more like a gesture to be approachable." Wu Xintong thought for a while and said.
"Well, that's what I expected. Let Ziying get to know her better." Wu Daonan smiled, "Ziying is so calm in doing things, which makes me feel relieved. I'm worried that he is eager to achieve success. , that’s unwise.”
Wu Xintong also stroked his beard and nodded: "It will take some time for Mr. Feng to gradually become familiar with the twenty-two counties in the five states. I heard that when he was in Yongping Mansion, he would go to each state and county one by one to understand the situation. He can keep his composure, but Yongping Prefecture only has six prefectures and counties, while our Shuntian Prefecture has more than twenty, so he needs to have some energy and patience..."
"Let him go." Wu Daonan checked the tea cup leisurely, "Mei Zhiye, you can make more contacts. It is said that Feng Ziying adopted the daughter of the Xue family who broke off the engagement as a concubine. This is quite a curious incident. What a wonderful thing, I wonder if the two of them will be embarrassed after meeting?"
Wu Daonan and Wu Xintong laughed almost at the same time.
While Wu Daonan and his staff watched with cold eyes what Feng Ziying did after taking office, Feng Ziying was indeed carrying out "research" as they said.
According to the practice of modern officials taking up their posts, this is research, which involves holding discussions in each department. Through the conversations, we not only understand the work content and situation of each department, but also understand and analyze the state and mentality of the officials through the conversations.
This is slightly different from the common practice of officials in this era.
When officials in this era take office, they usually summon their subordinates directly, and then put forward their own intentions and ideas, and let the subordinates do things according to their own intentions. As for whether there are any mistakes or inappropriateness in the process, that is all in the process of doing things. China will take its time to solve the problem later, and pre-investigation and post-event summaries are not the norm. On the contrary, it is easy to give people the impression of being cautious or lacking courage and responsibility.
Of course, this does not mean that officials have no preparations. Generally speaking, officials' staffs will make some preparations, but it is taboo to solicit the opinions of subordinates, especially the opinions of officials.
However, Feng Ziying didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He also knew that what he was doing might be a bit taboo, so he cleverly mixed some officials among the officials to understand the situation incidentally, without being so deliberate. Even so, Still attracted some criticism.
After returning to the mansion and taking off her official uniform, Feng Ziying also felt a little tired.
The situation in Shuntian Mansion is more complicated than imagined, and the situation is worse than imagined. It can be said that in the past few years, Wu Daonan has almost adopted a procrastination strategy. As long as he can get through it, he will get through it, and he will delay it when he can get through it. In fact, If there is an unavoidable issue, then we should look for a weak strategy to deal with it. Basically, there are not many strategies that can really solve the actual problem.
There is a lot involved here, from taxes and levies to the construction of water conservancy facilities, from urban construction and municipal management, from cleaning up hidden households to population data, from post office management to horse administration affairs, from public security conditions to grain reserves, almost every In the same job, Feng Ziying can hear many questions just by simply listening, which is shocking and makes people unable to sleep peacefully.
Over the past few days, Feng Ziying felt that the reason why the two pavilion elders Ye Fang agreed that she would take over as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion was because they really felt that Shuntian Mansion would not be able to continue like this, and they were unwilling to let Wu Daonan leave. , then it is essential to find a character who will not pose a big threat to Wu Daonan's status, and even needs to be solidly polished.
He had long known that this position presented both challenges and opportunities, but he did not expect that this challenge would be all-round and extremely difficult.
Looking at her husband's preoccupied look, Shen Yixiu put her daughter in his hands. The deep expression in Feng Ziying's brows finally relaxed. Looking at her daughter's gradually relaxing brows, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
“Well, she didn’t make any noise today, did she?”
"You're very good, sleep after eating, and eat after sleeping." Shen Yixiu saw that her husband's mood gradually returned to calm, and then she sat down next to him and whispered: "Is there something wrong with your official duties?"
"Well, I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect it to be so bad." Feng Ziying teased her daughter's face, "No wonder the princes in the court were so willing to let me sit in this position. Maybe they were waiting for me to hit a wall or even cause trouble. Let me go to the field."
"Really?" Shen Yixiu was taken aback and sat up straight, "Is it that bad? What should I do?"
"The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. Once they come, they will be safe. They can't fulfill their wishes." Feng Ziying's mouth slightly raised, "It will be difficult to make me bow my head."
