Chapter 2036 The security of Gui Zi Juan is uneasy and the journey is difficult
"Qiu Sheng, look at this Jiming Mountain. It is said that it was named by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It has a beautiful peak that stands high in the clouds, and thousands of horses crush the green hibiscus. When you come here and see such a beautiful scenery, don't you have the urge to write a poem?" Feng Ziying carried the burden. He asked with a smile as he looked at Jiming Mountain in the distance with his hands.
"Your Excellency is really broad-minded. You are still so leisurely and elegant at this time. My subordinates are not so interested. I just came to Baoan Prefecture. All the things are like a mess, which makes me very anxious."
Fu Shi sighed and held his forehead, but Feng Ziying could see that although the other person was exhausted, the spirit between his brows was particularly exciting, and he was obviously very proud of being able to control a side for the first time.
“You have to face it calmly even if you are in a state of distress. The huge Baan Prefecture cannot be straightened out overnight. You must have a correct mentality.” Feng Ziying said cheerfully.
Which person didn’t make mistakes in a hurry when he first took over? This is how everyone comes through.
Fu Shi had never been in charge of a party before, but now he suddenly became the master of his own affairs. Naturally, he understood that this job of making decisions was not easy to do, and he had to take responsibility for making decisions.
The area of Baoan Prefecture is either large or small. It is roughly equivalent to the area to the south between Zhuolu and Huailai, including the Guanting Reservoir area. It is mainly mountainous, but its geographical location is particularly important.
"I understand in my heart, but I'm still busy." Fu Shi smiled bitterly, "Only sitting in this position can you understand how difficult it is. Sir, I now understand how you survived in Shuntian Mansion."
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. You will get used to it over time. There is a familiarization process." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "The relationship between the Xuanfu Army must be handled well. The three military posts in Baoan Prefecture are all Those who are closely watched by the Ministry of War, the military affairs in the state are the first priority, and everything else must come later."
Fu Shi knew that this was Feng Ziying trying to remind him. He had just arrived and had never worked in a prefecture or county before, so he knew his priorities clearly.
"The other thing is taxation. In a mountainous state like Baoan Prefecture, the court won't care too much. You can find a way to complain to the superiors about poverty. You can find the reasons yourself, such as severe drought, frequent locust plagues, and unruly people resisting taxes. In short, you remember Baoan Prefecture’s Department of Taxation and Accounts doesn’t like this. As long as the reason is right, it’s not a big problem to reduce or defer the tax, so you can make the decision yourself.”
Fu Shi understood it. Baoan Prefecture was an important military area, and the civil affairs area was not important. There was room for maneuver here.
"But remember, the security of the post roads must be ensured. In this regard, you can mobilize the people of the state and use the state's taxes to support them. In this way, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment will speak for you, and the Ministry of Households will speak for you. You can pass.”
Fu Shi nodded repeatedly, but still couldn't help but feel a little worried and asked hesitantly: "Where is Mr. Huang..."
"Don't worry, I will write to Mr. Huang to explain. After all, I am still the right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Seventh Department of the Cabinet also told me to go west and take a look at the military, political and people's livelihood conditions along the route. I will be 'truthful' to report the situation in Bao’an Prefecture.”
The two of them were walking and talking in the inn.
Fu Shi took office only three days before Feng Ziying left Beijing, so it was Feng Ziying's way. If other officials were replaced, Fu Shi would really be too lazy to come.
"The commercial tax in Jimingyi is considerable, but I don't think the state has managed it well..." Feng Ziying also reminded Fu Shi, "Maybe this is also a legacy from his predecessor or even his predecessor. These shops inside and outside the city are packed with goods. There is an endless stream of business travelers, there is no reason to turn a blind eye, there may be some secrets here, you can slowly explore them in the future."
To be a good Zhizhou, you have to take care of everything. Baoan Prefecture’s small land tax cannot support the state at all, and that’s not to mention the part that needs to be turned over. If you don’t make a fuss about commercial taxes and tariffs, it will be difficult for Fu Shi, the Zhizhou.
"I've also noticed this. I heard that it might have something to do with the Xuanfu Army..." Fu Shi hesitated before saying.
"I guess so." Feng Ziying chuckled, "But if Niu Jizong was in such a big mess, wouldn't it involve the connections of these officials in Xuanfu Town? You might as well manage the relationship with the new commander-in-chief in advance, so that you can With the commercial taxes along the post road in your hands, Baoan Prefecture will be able to relax a lot in the future."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shi immediately asked, "Has the imperial court confirmed the new commander-in-chief?"
Feng Ziying shook her head: "Not yet. Ma Gui is too old. The court thinks that his nephews are too ambitious and talented, or they are not mature enough. Ma Chengxun is now serving as a general in Yulin, and Ma Chengzhao is serving as a general in Jizhen. These two It is said that soldiers and horses are skilled, but I am not very familiar with them. The other ones are Zhao Zhijiao and Liu Wei, but now the situation in Liaodong is beginning to become tense, and the court is unwilling to move Liaodong,..."
Feng Ziying actually advocated transferring Zhao Lijiao and Liu Wei out of Liaodong, or letting Cao Wenzhao leave.
Nowadays, the relationship between the foreign faction headed by Cao Wenzhao and the local faction headed by Zhao Lijiao, Liu Wei, Du Song, and the Zu brothers is tense. Without his father in charge, Cao Wenzhao is somewhat unable to suppress the legions of Li Chengliang in Liaodong. The group of local generals who came down.
This is why Feng Ziying is most worried about something going on in Liaodong. If the generals are at odds with each other, it will definitely be a big deal. If not, Nurhaci will be given a golden opportunity, especially if there is Li Yongfang, a traitor who knows the inside story of Liaodong Town. Rebellious general.
At first, Feng Ziying actually wanted to suggest to her father that Zhao led the army to serve as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. However, firstly, the court was worried about the old troops left by Li Chengliang, so it was difficult to agree; secondly, his father felt that Cao Wenzhao was following him all over the country, and even You Shigong has become the commander-in-chief of Ji Town. If he doesn't give an explanation to Cao Wenzhao, it will be difficult for him to let those gangs who follow him come out to kill his old brothers to explain to him in the future. That's why he recommended Cao Wenzhao. Who would have thought that this It also left a disaster behind.
Zhao Lijiao is actually a good candidate. Whether he stays in Liaodong or comes to Xuanfu, it is very suitable. Or simply letting Cao Wenzhao be transferred to the Xuanfu general army is also a good choice, but obviously this is difficult. Obtain the consent of the court.
"The selection of the new commander-in-chief has been delayed, so it will be difficult for me to handle it." Fu Shi felt worried.
"Qiu Sheng, you are wrong. If I were you, I would proceed vigorously and resolutely. The current deputy commanders cannot figure out the details and will never dare to move. But when the new commander comes, it will be cooked for you. It will be easier to make friends again." Feng Ziying suggested to the other party that Fu Shi lacked some courage, but who could be as unscrupulous as him?
Fu Shi was thoughtful and finally nodded, apparently accepting Feng Ziying's suggestion.
As the governor of a state, Fu Shi is also very busy. It is very rare to be able to meet Feng Ziying despite his busy schedule.
Feng Ziying didn't stay with Fu Shi, so Fu Shi only stayed for less than an hour and left in a hurry before nightfall.
Although the night at Jimingyi is not as lively as Qinghe store, it seems more orderly.
Because unlike Qinghedian, which uses roads as its city, Jimingyi is located in the city and has hundreds of troops stationed there. Therefore, the social security is good. At night, the two city gates are closed, and no one can go out.
After passing Jimingyi, it is considered to be the territory of Xuanfu Town. The line is the post road not far from the north wall, going west from Yongjia Fort to the boundary of Datong Town - Ping'an Prefecture, which was the original home of Sun Shaozu. , the place where Jia She committed the crime.
That line is all mountainous, so you may have to camp sometimes, so Jimingyi is the last comfortable and safe resting place between heading west to Datong.
Starting from tomorrow, the strings will be tightened all the way, so Wu Yaoqing also urged everyone except the night watchman to take a good rest in order to brace themselves for the following period.
Feng Ziying also planned to take a quick bath.
In the past two days, I have been either at a small inn or resting in a guardhouse. Moreover, I have traveled dozens of miles every day. Not to mention that the women are overwhelmed, and even Feng Ziying feels a little tired.
Ping'er came to wait on Feng Ziying to take a bath. Feng Ziying also enjoyed the woman wiping herself outside the barrel. Her eyelids slowly drooped and she actually fell asleep.
It wasn't until Ping'er whispered in her ears to wake herself up that Feng Ziying climbed out of the bucket sleepily and walked naked to the outside of the bathroom. Ping'er and Yu Chuan'er, who spat with a red face, wiped Feng Ziying's whole body. After getting clean, he began to comb Feng Ziying's hair and dress her clothes.
Looking at Yu Chuan'er's blushing face and Ping'er with a smile on her lips, with the beauty by her side, Feng Ziying was in a happy mood. The lanterns in the room scattered a dim light, which made her feel a little poetic for a moment.
Inadvertently, she heard a "bang" sound, and Feng Ziying almost subconsciously pulled Ping'er and Yuchuan'er to roll on the ground.
There was no blockage at all. Ping'er and Yuchuan'er, who were caught off guard, both turned into gourds.
Amidst the screams, Feng Ziying did not hesitate to take out the water ladle from the ground and threw it out suddenly, smashing the lantern hanging by the window of the room and falling down, and the whole room suddenly became dark.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Ping'er and Yuchuan'er cried out in panic almost at the same time, almost crying.
"It's okay. As long as I'm here, I can't change the world." Feng Ziying was also frightened for a while, and pressed the two women's bodies with both hands. At this time, she couldn't control much, and her naked body was just riding on the two women.
Before Feng Ziying could call out, there was already a sound of metal and iron outside the door, "What a good thief, how dare you do this?!"
Hearing the voice of his own guard, Feng Ziying felt a little relieved, but she felt angry for no reason.
Wu Yaoqing and the others were doing something like this, that they didn't even notice when someone came close to them and stabbed them?
