Chapter 1353 Xin Zijuan Sunset Grass Tree Collaborator, Allied Forces
Just when Feng Ziying felt more and more complicated about the affairs of Shuntian Mansion and felt a little exhausted, the letter from Lian Guoshi also arrived.
This slightly relieved his state of mind, which had been consumed with a lot of energy by various affairs during this period. It can be said that during this period, he was exhausted by affairs from all aspects, so much so that he always fell down every time he went to the eldest room or the second room. As soon as he went to bed, he was inevitably a little indifferent to the woman next to him.
Both Shen Yixiu and Baochai Baoqin were a little confused and distressed. However, as wives, they could also feel the pressure faced by their husbands. In addition to letting their husbands rest as much as possible, they would also actively seek help from their husbands. Even if the exchange of some topics cannot help, at least there is a trustworthy person to talk to, so that the husband can vent and talk about the various troubles and problems encountered in official work.
Compared with Feng Ziying's difficulties in Shuntian Mansion, Lianguo was very successful in Yongping Mansion.
It turned out that Feng Ziying was a little worried that Lian Guo Shi would not get along with the new prefect Wei Guangwei, but she did not expect that Lian Guo Shi's emotional intelligence was much higher than she expected, and she quickly won Wei Guangwei's trust. Of course, this was also related to Lian Guo Shi's good knowledge of advancement and retreat. .
The restoration and construction of several major coal-iron building materials complexes have come to an end, while the construction of roads from Luanzhou, Lulong and Qian'an via Funing to Yuguangang is in full swing.
There is little rain this spring, which is not good for agriculture, but it is a great benefit for road construction. Tens of thousands of refugees are working on the front line of road construction. The progress of the project from Funing to Yuguangang is particularly rapid.
In addition, many cement workshops have been built in Yuguangang and Funing, providing a large amount of supply for this section of road construction to be used as a model. Therefore, it is initially expected to be basically completed by the end of August, while Qian'an, Lulong to Funing The amount of work in this section is much larger, and it is estimated that it will be completed at least until the end of November.
In his letter, Lian Guoshi also talked about his several "negotiations" with the local gentry and merchants in Yongping, which ultimately led to the compromise and cooperation between these local gentry and Shanxi merchants. In a sense, such a coalition of interests Basically, the market cycle of vigorously developing the coal, iron and building materials industry in Yongping, exporting through Yuguan for export, and importing various grains, cotton and daily necessities from Jiangnan has been basically eliminated.
Lian Guoshi also talked excitedly in the letter about the tens of thousands of refugees who had initially cultivated a large number of skilled construction workers using cement, stone strips, and bricks through road construction during this period. Lian Guoshi was prepared to use this group of construction workers. Skilled labor came to dig ditches and build areas on both sides of the Luan River to protect against floods. This can also be regarded as investment in water conservancy.
Feng Ziying also knows the purpose of this step of practicing state affairs. After all, tens of thousands of refugees are pressing down in Yongping Mansion, which is a huge pressure for everyone. These refugees have no land. Where do their livelihoods come from? It is not a simple matter to open up new land. Irrigation must be done first. This is inevitable, so it should be a safe move to use these people to dig trenches first and then spread them along the banks of the Luan River and Qinglong River to achieve gradual resettlement.
Of course, this can only be supported by the huge benefits brought by the coal-iron building materials complex to support the livelihood of tens of thousands of people this year. Otherwise, even the relief from the Yongping government and the imperial court will not be able to support it.
After reading the letter from Lian Guoshi, Feng Ziying was full of emotions. The predecessors planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. In the letter, Lian Guoshi also expressed his gratitude to Feng Ziying for everything he had done. Basically, it is difficult for Yongping Mansion to be in the situation it is today.
Rubbing her chin, Feng Ziying smiled bitterly. Lian Guoshi and Wei Guangwei had picked good peaches, but now she was sitting on a limb, as if she was stuck in a quagmire. Not only did she have to carefully consider every step she took, but she also had to consider the move. Will there be a trap if I step on it, and can I pull it out?
Feng Ziying was infected by Lian Guo’s optimism. In any case, the future prosperity of Yongping Mansion will be inseparable from her own contribution. Moreover, if Yongping is stable, Jingdong will be stable, and if Jingdong is stable, Liaodong will have no worries.
In the future, as the scale of Yuguan Port expands and the number of merchants in the fleet increases, it will no longer be necessary to transport grain and fodder through the canal to Jingcang and Tongcang in the past. Instead, it can be transported directly to Yuguan and then imported into the Western Liaoning Corridor. Zhuwei Town, with the opening of ports such as Niuzhuang and Jinzhou, can even be directly transported to the hinterland of Liaodong. In this way, the transportation loss can be reduced by at least 70%, which is such a big deal for the imperial court. The savings can almost make the household department burst into tears of gratitude.
However, Lian Guoshi also mentioned the matter of the Huimin Salt Field, saying that no Japanese pirates had been found so far, and the conditions were not yet mature. However, the Changlu Salt Patrol Censor had been pressing hard, which put a lot of pressure on the Yongping Prefecture. Still looking for a solution.
Feng Ziying feels a little more at ease. There is nothing that can be done easily. Being an official is not really a blessing. If there is nothing challenging, why does the court need you two?
************
Watching Feng Ziying get off her horse and go straight into the Yamen.
Mei Zhiye next to him smiled coldly and curled his lips disapprovingly. Shi Shiran put his hands behind his back and staggered in through the side door.
As soon as he entered Zhonggong's house, Lu Zhaoling came in.
"What's the matter?" Mei Zhiye nodded and sat down. The chief attendant had already brought in the tea.
“I heard that Mr. Fu Cheng intends to clean up the Xishan charcoal kiln?” Lu Zhaoling said with a smile on his face, “Why, our Shuntian Mansion is not going to live a good life this year, and we are going to poke this hornet’s nest?”
"Why are you asking this?" The smiley expression on Lu Zhaoling's face made Mei Zhiye a little disgusted, but he also knew that this guy was a local snake and could not be easily offended. Moreover, after hearing that Feng Ziying was coming to serve as the prime minister, this guy took the initiative Moving closer to him made him a little suspicious.
He was born as an official and became an official at the age of forty. He got into the position of Zhaomo. Naturally, he has some background. From a ninth-grade official, he can't be considered a role. But this guy is well-informed. Mei Zhiye Sometimes I still use this guy, so the relationship between the two is pretty good.
“It’s nothing, I just don’t understand what Xiao Feng Xiuzhan wants to do when he comes to our Shuntian Mansion.”
Lu Zhaoling glanced at the expressionless Mei Zhiye. This guy was also a coward. His son's wife actually went to be Feng Ziying's concubine. Well, even though the engagement was broken off, it was undoubtedly a humiliation. , you were originally meant to be my wife, but now you can only be my concubine. What does this mean? Isn’t it clear enough?
If there was no one in this government office who could compete with Feng Ziying, Lu Zhaoling would not be able to find this one. Although Wu Fuyin was incompetent, he was a cunning person who would not do anything to show his face and would only agree if it was troublesome. If the trouble gets serious, I am willing to step in and find a way out for Feng Ziying, but if I want to stop Feng Ziying head-on, I have to find a suitable candidate in the yamen.
After all, there is only one Zhizhong master.
During the general trial, it was obvious that Fu Shi was going to follow Feng Ziying. Although the two from Bei Di who gave birth to the four children were still a little hesitant and worried that Feng Ziying would make too big a move, Lu Zhaoling believed that sooner or later, these two would have to stand by Feng Ziying. The remaining one has clearly expressed his disapproval, and the other one who thinks he is from Guangdong and Guangxi only intends to sit on the sidelines.
Moreover, the weight of the general judge is far behind. In addition, the person named Mei already has such a grudge against Feng Ziying, so he is the most suitable target.
"What are you doing?" Mei Zhiye was alert, "Master Feng is the prime minister of the government. Don't you understand the responsibilities of the prime minister?"
Mei Zhiye deliberately relaxed his tone, "Everything in Shuntian Mansion has been discordant in the past two years. As we all know, the imperial court asked Mr. Feng to come, so he naturally wanted to make some changes."
"Yes, our Shuntian Prefecture has suffered repeatedly in the past two years. It seems that this year may be a little smoother. Everyone was tortured by the Mongolian invasion last year. Hundreds of thousands of refugees finally settled down. Mr. Feng should It’s only right to be very clear, and you should be considerate and considerate of the people’s power, and don’t dwell on right and wrong..."
Since the topic was raised, Lu Zhaoling seemed confident, and he did not shy away from Mei Zhiye when he spoke.
He believed that Mei Zhiye would not tell Feng Ziying, and even if he told him, his relationship with Feng Ziying would not be much better. He should even be happy to see everyone embarrass Feng Ziying.
After working in the position of Zhaomo at Zhaomo for so many years, the Fuyin Fucheng also changed many positions, but he went from inspecting the school to Zhaomo and stopped moving.
For him, at his age, he has no other wish than to get a few more coins. Over there in Xishan, he has shares, so of course he has a small share, but even so, he can definitely earn three dollars a year for himself. Four thousand taels of silver was a hundred times his salary in the government office. Based on this, anyone who wanted to touch the affairs of Xishan Kiln would be like killing him.
Of course he knew that Feng Ziying came with bad intentions and that Feng Ziying was not easy to deal with, but as long as Feng Ziying didn't touch the Xishan Kiln, he was even willing to work for Feng Ziying wholeheartedly, and he promised to do a good job. But if he wanted to touch the Xishan Kiln, then No more negotiation, life and death.
Lu Zhaoling also knew that he had to fight Feng Ziying as a caregiver. He said that the mantis arm was used as a chariot to promote himself, but he was not fighting alone.
There are so many kiln entrances, and there is no character whose hair is thicker than his own. He doesn't believe that Feng Ziying can go against everyone.
Of course, in this yamen, others would not let him go. Of course, he had to give it a go and choose more collaborators and allies to stop and destroy Feng Ziying's intentions and actions. Lu Zhaoling believed that he had no shirking responsibility.
Mei Zhiye is the collaborator selected by everyone. With the cooperation of Mei Zhizhong, everyone can feel more confident, and only then can Wu Daonan join in. Everyone should understand that this is a game that belongs to everyone. The war is won and everyone can get what they need.
