Chapter 1759 Ren Zi Juan must do things one by one
After strolling around the Ministry of War, Feng Ziying returned to Shuntianfu Yamen.
Wu Daonan has let himself go and doesn't care about Shuntian Mansion's affairs at all. It is estimated that the imperial court will appoint him as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites soon.
Cao Yubian, the former right minister of the Ministry of Rites, was transferred to the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments, while Chen Yuting, the original right minister of the Ministry of Punishments, had resigned and returned to Jiangnan to serve as the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing.
This situation was also informed by Qi Yongtai to Feng Ziying.
After all, Wu Daonan was a well-known scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that he could uphold justice, maintain integrity, and not be rebellious, he must be encouraged. Therefore, he was specially given the right minister of the Ministry of Rites to serve as the right minister, and he was also allowed to preside over the affairs of the Hanlin Academy. This was also What Wu Daonan values most.
Wu Daonan's dream was to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy and study history. This was his biggest wish. Now that he could go here, he was naturally overjoyed, so he didn't want to ask anything about Shuntian Mansion, and he didn't want to stay there for a day.
Qi Yongtai also told Feng Ziying that after Wu Daonan left recently, the court would not appoint Shuntian Prefecture Yin for the time being. In fact, he would be asked to act as Fu Cheng on his behalf. This could be regarded as a test for him by the court. He would do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. , the imperial court hopes to hire people who can do things and get things done.
This is what Qi Yongtai worked hard to win for Feng Ziying. Of course, it is also inseparable from Ye Fang and his two colleagues' recognition of Feng Ziying's recent performance.
For Feng Ziying, this is also a test.
Feng Ziying felt that she was called by Qi Yongtai today to talk about something. What was more important was to deliver the news. Shuntian Mansion was entrusted to her. She had to take over at the critical moment and handle the matters and tasks assigned to her by the court. It is easy to handle and beautiful, leaving those who stare at you speechless.
What are the urgent matters in Shuntian Mansion now?
In Feng Ziying's view, the problem of the White Lotus Sect is the most difficult problem. It cannot be solved in a few steps. It must be solved slowly.
Assist Long Jinwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to realize the assets of the rebellious Wuxun family that are about to be inspected and raise military expenses for the court. This is the most urgent thing.
Although the main responsibility is not on her, Feng Ziying knows that Ye Fang, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and many people are watching. After all, this matter is of great importance. Can there be another good harvest after the Jingtong Ercang case? It's hard to say, after all, there were many Jiangnan merchants who supported him last time, but what about this time?
Feng Ziying didn't even know it, but he knew that he had to handle this matter well. This was related to many people's opinions of him, and it was also related to Qi Yongtai's credibility.
Feng Ziying knew that it was not easy to get such an opportunity to take charge of the affairs of the whole government. The court would not send a governor for the time being, but let herself take charge of the entire affairs of Shuntian Prefecture. This was not easy.
Qi Yongtai is afraid that his credibility will be suppressed. If he does things poorly, Qi Yongtai's prestige will be damaged.
This is conditional, that is, the current affairs must be done well, especially the matter of raising military expenses for the imperial court.
Haitong Yinzhuang is one thing, but more importantly, it is necessary to realize the proceeds from these seizures, especially without the support of Jiangnan merchants, how to realize them? You must know that the previous sale has consumed a large amount of purchasing power in the capital city, and now it is not so easy to do it again.
There are several other things, although they are also very important, but they have to be placed second, such as contact with the Inner Khalkha people, such as preparing for the relief and security pressure of refugees coming to Beijing.
Thinking about these things, Feng Ziying returned to the government office and sat down, thinking about how to deal with it.
The news that Wu Daonan is going to the Ministry of Rites has spread.
In fact, this kind of thing cannot be hidden. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital city, and everyone has their own information. Wu Daonan has not been seen for two days, and someone has already spread the news that Wu Daonan is on the head of Dongjiang Mixiang, which is Dazhou. I walked up to the door, where the official residence of the Ministry of Rites was.
But this is obviously a rumor. Wu Daonan is not so impatient and has no reserve at all. That is really insulting.
“Qiu Sheng, come and sit.”
"Congratulations, sir." Fu Shi was also full of joy, but his joy was also tinged with worry.
Naturally, he was happy that Feng Ziying was put to good use. Wu Daonan left, but the court did not send a governor, but let Feng Ziying take charge of the affairs of the government. This was obviously a sign that Feng Ziying was optimistic about Feng Ziying. Maybe he could handle several things in this way, so it might not be possible to let Feng Ziying act as governor. impossible.
But for Fu Shi, there is also a worry.
Jia Zheng was appointed Minister of Guanglu Temple in the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty, but he was Jia Zheng's protégé. It was well known in the capital city that someone would soon attack him.
At present, the imperial court has not taken action against these rebel warriors, but Fu Shi also knows that this will happen sooner or later, and the longer it is delayed, the more severe punishment it means. Fu Shi still knows some of the rules of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Qiu Sheng, you and I are already at odds with each other if we talk about this." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "The most troublesome things assigned to us by the court now are the most troublesome. If we don't do it well, you and I won't be able to do the job."
Fu Shi had a complicated expression on his face, "Sir, I really want to serve you, but I'm afraid..."
"Oh?" Feng Ziying glanced at Fu Shi and immediately understood the other party's worries. She shook her head carelessly, "If Qiu Sheng is worried about that, there is no need. The Jia family is the Jia family, and you Fu Shi is just a disciple of Uncle Zheng Shi. , but not his son. You are an official of the imperial court. Your general judge was given by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and has nothing to do with the Jia family. Besides, if you want to put it this way, I also married the daughter of Wang Ziteng’s sister and accepted Jia She’s daughter. If the daughter is a concubine, wouldn’t it be even more relevant?”
"Sir,..." Fu Shi was speechless for a moment.
"Don't worry, the princes in the court are not so stupid. If we want to talk about this kind of relationship, there will be too many people inside and outside the court. How can we talk about fellow countrymen, classmates, and colleagues?" Feng Ziying comforted the other party, "It doesn't matter whether we talk about deeds or deeds. At heart, a few officials in the puppet court in Nanjing have no relationship with the princes in the court, but it does not affect everyone's position. As long as their hearts are with the court and they work for the court honestly, that's good."
"If everyone is as open-minded and understanding as the adults, we will feel at ease." Fu Shi felt a little at ease.
Feng Ziying's attitude can also represent the attitude of the imperial court to a certain extent. His tutor is the elder of the court, and there is also a division commander of the Youdu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He has a strong backing, and he is the leader of young scholars in the North. Naturally, he is not If you are worried about this, how can you compare with it? But when the other person said this, he must be aware of the attitude above.
"Okay, Qiusheng, just let go of your heart." Feng Ziying glanced at the other party, "What I told you is serious. You have been running around for a while. How are you doing?"
"It's hard to explain in one sentence." Fu Shi smiled bitterly, "In general, all states and counties have followed the government's requirements, but the situations are different and the differences are very big. Some of them are just perfunctory and chose thousands of acres of remote areas. I’m not too concerned about mountainous areas. There are some prefectures and counties that have done well, such as Tongzhou and Fengrun, and Miao County is also okay. Basically, the planting area is more than 10,000 acres, but basically they still choose mountains and beachlands with poor soil quality. , but because the county attaches great importance to it, farmers are more attentive. For example, they do a thorough job of fertilizing before planting, so the yields are quite acceptable..."
“So has the second season been implemented?” Feng Ziying also knew that this might be the only way it could be done.
Although you may be good at what you say in the government office, in the prefectures and counties, your prestige is far from enough.
To be blunt, the magistrates and magistrates in this prefecture and county are basically all Jinshis, and most of them are their seniors, those who were born in the second year of Yonglong, and even earlier in the forty-second year of Yuanxi. These people are inevitably unavoidable. Everyone is a little dissatisfied with themselves. Even though they have to show respect on the surface, they may have other things to say deep down.
This will also be directly reflected in the arrangement of many tasks in the government office. As the work is arranged, it will be reflected in the implementation of the state and county. If they approve your arrangements, I am afraid the state and county will be more serious. If they do not approve, That depends on how much control you, the Fu Yin Fu Cheng, have over the lower counties.
Wu Daonan has hardly been in the prefectures and counties in these years, so he has hardly established any influence in the prefectures and counties. Feng Ziying has only been here for a short time and has insufficient qualifications, so he is not very popular with the people below. See you soon.
Although Xu Guangqi has been experimenting with planting potatoes and sweet potatoes in Tianjin Wei for several years, and the area is not small, he mainly uses the fields in Juntun. There is not much contact with the local area. It is intentional for publicity. It is lacking, so the prefectures and counties of Shuntian Prefecture don’t know much about it, let alone support it. After all, this still requires effort, and so much land is used, even if it is barren mountains and hills, it is still land, and manpower must be invested. and manure.
Tongzhou is because of Fang Kezhuang's connection, Fengrun is because of Liu Sixue's connection, so both of them are relatively supportive, and Miao County is connected after Zheng's case.
All in all, Feng Ziying was still far from being able to control the influence of the more than 20 prefectures and counties under Shuntian Prefecture, so he wanted to bring He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen and Wu Zonghuai to his prefectures and counties to work for a few years. How many counties could give him If he can prop up the scene and exert some influence on surrounding states and counties, then he, the Shuntian Prefect, will have a much easier time doing it.
"The second season has also been implemented. Although the lower officials have also urged it, the effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory." Fu Shi felt a little ashamed. Many of the lower states and counties had deep connections and had backers in the imperial court. , left to pass the judgment on their own, many state and county officials had a very cold attitude, especially the promotion of planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, which was even less popular.
