Chapter 2597 Gui Zijuan left Beijing to take up his post and had to say goodbye at last
Ping'er outside the house is holding his chin and looking at the moon, thinking about it. The two people in the house are intertwined and fighting fiercely.
When the sound of wind and rain in the house slowly subsided, Ping'er quietly opened the door and went in.
Hu Zi is accompanied by Sister Shan, so he doesn’t need Ping’er to accompany him all night. The master and servant are very affectionate when they meet each other, so naturally they want to have a good bed and three good nights to sleep soundly.
Huddled on the left and right, with the beautiful woman in his arms, Feng Ziying leaned on the bed, deep in thought.
“Is the situation in Liaodong difficult?” Wang Xifeng could feel that the man was worried.
"It's difficult to say, Liaodong is so big, and Jianzhou Jurchens have succeeded frequently. It's impossible to say that there are no problems in Liaodong Town. I went there to solve the problem, but it can't be solved all at once. It will take time. , I have been going there for three to five years. Personally, I am definitely still a little reluctant, but I have to go."
Feng Ziying and Wang Xifeng did not have much restraint when talking.
Now that Wang Xifeng’s cement business is getting bigger and bigger, he is becoming more and more concerned about current affairs. He even actively subscribes to newspapers and periodicals and sends people to Beijing to collect news about current affairs.
“Is it not difficult to say?” Wang Xifeng asked again.
"Now that Bailian is dead, the imperial court is focused on solving the Jurchen issue in Jianzhou, so it will definitely support it. In addition, I have accumulated some connections and prestige over the years. Officials in the court and businessmen from the north and south still trust me. Coupled with the Feng family's influence in the military, it can be said that I have the right time, place, and people, and I have them all. There is no reason why the Liaodong issue cannot be solved under such circumstances."
"In that case, why are you still worried?" Wang Xifeng asked puzzledly: "Is it because the affairs of the back house in the mansion are not going to work? Didn't Ping'er say that the mansion is considered stable? Almost everyone has a child and is pregnant. Now that Xiangyun and Xichun have just stayed in your house for a few days, you don't have to worry about anything when you go to Liaodong, so what are you worried about?"
"I can't tell. Master Qi is too old, and his energy and body are a bit overwhelmed. I'm not sure Master Qi can do what I can to solve the Liaodong problem. Solving the Jianzhou Nuzhen is a comprehensive grand strategy, and military means alone It is not enough to eradicate it, so I will bring in all the businessmen and help them relocate, so that Liaodong can become the second Shandong. This will not happen in five or ten years, but it is impossible for me to stay in Liaodong. So long,…"
Feng Ziying shook her head, "I can't tell. Maybe it's because I'm unfounded, or I always want to consider everything to perfection. In addition, it's hard to say on the emperor's side. I always feel that it's not so safe..."
"Ziying, you have done well enough now. We are not gods. We cannot account for everything. When you go to Liaodong, everyone trusts you. Even you feel that you have the right time, right place and right people, so Just stop looking forward and backward, and do it boldly. Even if there are some minor mistakes in the process, I believe that with your ability, it will not be a serious problem. You will definitely be able to pacify the Jurchens in Jianzhou within three to five years..."
Wang Xifeng rarely saw Feng Ziying actually worrying about gains and losses, "As for the emperor, do you think he can still turn things around? All military power has been taken away by the Ministry of War, and you have made careful arrangements. Is there anything else that can happen? It’s no accident,…”
"Nothing is absolute. I am not in the capital city. Once many things happen, I cannot respond as quickly as possible. In the dispute between the cabinet and the emperor, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. Now the emperor is at a disadvantage, but the people and the court Have Chinese officials, including some military men, always recognized this situation?" Feng Ziying said leisurely: "Now many things have not been determined by a system model, and both sides are still in a state of game. Who can guarantee that this situation will remain like this?”
Feng Ziying's words made Wang Xifeng a little more worried. She had a somewhat suspicious and sensitive temperament. She originally thought that the situation in the court would be completely stabilized, and her lover would definitely be able to return to Liaodong in the future. She was waving to him, but she didn't expect that Feng Ziying was still worried.
Thinking about his second uncle who has always been worried about the current situation and has difficulty letting go, one can imagine that many people who benefited from the emperor in the past must still be unwilling to accept it.
But this was not something she could care about. She came to Beijing just to have a good night with her lover to comfort her lovesickness. She also brought the child to Feng Ziying to have a look and deepen her impression.
Although she has no intention of getting involved with the Feng family, after all, her son is also of his blood, and there will be times when she will rely on him in the future. She cannot tolerate Feng Ziying turning a blind eye to this child. She will not ask for much else, but she should have it. Feng Ziying should also consider it.
On December 18, Feng Ziying finally left Beijing.
When leaving Beijing, Chai Ke and Zhang Huaichang came to see him off in person.
"You don't have to worry too much about things in Beijing. We will try our best to fight for Liaodong. But you also know that the war in Hebei is about to end, and the court is facing many problems, so I'm afraid your ambitions are still largely unresolved. You have to work **** your own. Since the cabinet has given you full authority to handle Liaodong military and political affairs, you can also act boldly..."
Chai Ke’s words are always confident enough, which makes Feng Ziying very satisfied.
"Take your time and don't overhear what Zishu says." Zhang Huaichang wanted to be more mature and prudent, but he still hoped that Feng Ziying could develop his ambitions in Liaodong. "Although the weather in Liaodong is bitter and cold, the land is fertile and the population is sparse. , I will supervise Hebei and Shanxi to send those captives of the rebels as soon as possible. You can use it yourself. No one is sure whether these people will have any connection with the Jianzhou Jurchens. Don't send them here and become a disaster. That would be extremely harmful..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Huaichang. I know this well. If the White Lotus Sect says that the middle and high-level people are fanatics and careerists, that's not true. In fact, the people at the bottom are not all poor people who can't afford to eat. Haha, a big family They are all naked, can’t afford food, are sick, can’t afford to see a doctor, and can’t afford medicine. They will believe in anyone who can give them a bowl of rice or cure their illness. I can’t do anything about it in other places, but in Liaodong, I want to be good. Students act according to my own intentions..."
Feng Ziying is quite confident in this regard.
He has a deep understanding of the White Lotus Sect. If you say that Wang Sen, Wang Haoyi, Wang Haoli and his son, as well as Mi Bodhisattva, Zhang Hailiang and other high-level officials, their lives are as rich as those of princes, and they are completely different from the ordinary White Lotus disciples below who act as pawns. Two different things.
The vast majority of these disciples believed in these things only when they were poor and desperate. Through this battle, their organizational system was completely destroyed, and then they were sent to the unfamiliar environment of Liaodong, and they were given enough land, seeds and tools to face it. Faced with the dilemma of having to eat for a whole family, and with the border troops waiting in full force outside, it was unclear how they chose to remain silent.
Of course, it is also necessary to prevent problems before they occur, which requires adequate response measures.
Divide and conquer, sit on bail, supervise each other, etc., but Feng Ziying firmly believes that as long as they persist for one to two years, these people will settle down and see the possibility of a peaceful and beautiful life, and they will consciously abandon those unrealistic things. Of course, they will not To exclude some stubborn extremists, that's easy, just kill them without mercy.
"We know that businessmen from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangnan, and even salt merchants are flocking to you. To be honest, even Ming Qigong is envious, saying that he is unworthy of being the leader of the Jiangnan scholars, but in the eyes of Jiangnan merchants The status in the imperial court is not as good as yours." Chai Ke also laughed loudly, "The clan in the capital is also eager to make a move, and they all think that they can make a fortune by following you, so I thought that the reputation of the imperial court does not seem to be as good as your personal reputation."
Feng Ziying's heart trembled, but she smiled calmly and said: "If I didn't have the status of the governor of Jiliao and the censor of Youdu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, do you think these people would abandon me like a worn-out shoe? Haha, after all is said and done, I still relied on the reputation of the imperial court. Of course, my own quality is still trustworthy..."
Zhang Huaichang didn't care, "It's a good thing that Ziying has a good reputation. Everyone trusts him, which is enough to show his character. You have doubts about Liaodong's big plan and the cabinet, but I firmly believe that you can make it. Maybe this It will take many years, but as long as you persist, Liaodong will definitely become the second Shandong in the future. The court has also allowed the inland relocation, but it requires a process. Anfu businessmen are used to doing this. You can Combining random migration with normal migration will also help reduce risks."
Of course, Feng Ziying took Zhang Huaichang's suggestion into consideration. He even told the Anfu merchants that Fujian was a small and densely populated area, and if possible, some people could be moved here instead of staying in one place.
Feng Ziying, like potato seeds, had already prepared them from Tianjin Wei. After Xu Guangqi received the support of the court, he began to carry out large-scale cultivation around Tianjin Wei. With Feng Ziying's recommendation, Xu Guangqi resumed his official position as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry. The minister is responsible for the introduction and cultivation of these new crops.
Send you off for a thousand miles, but you must say goodbye in the end.
After chatting with Chai Ke and Zhang Huaichang for a long time, the group of people waiting over there finally waited for Feng Ziying to board the train.
The ground was covered with heavy snow and the road ahead was long, but Feng Ziying was in high spirits and said goodbye to the two of them before boarding the car and leaving.
His first stop was Santun Camp. Yang Yuan was in poor health, so he was the only one to visit him, but You Shilu was still there, and he could explain many things to You Shilu.
Ji Zhen will serve as a solid backing for his grand strategy in Liaodong. This is the same no matter who is the commander-in-chief. If Yang Yuan leaves office, Qi Bingzhong will only be better off.
