Chapter 1041: Decentralization

Qin Feng looked at Cheng Weigao with a smile, knowing in his heart what the person in front of him was thinking, but pretending to be ignorant, just looking at him with a smile. In fact, Cheng Weigao was thinking well. He was indeed crossing the river and destroying the bridge, but it would not be possible to kill the donkey.

The purpose of Cheng Weigao's move is indeed because Cheng Weigao's prestige in Yongping County is too high, so high that the people of Yongping County seem to know only this county magistrate but not the emperor.

Yongping County is a relatively special place. Under the leadership of this clever county magistrate, there was no war here, and there was no cruelty in the Ming army's purge of dissidents, so naturally there would be no fear.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Yongping County was extremely respectful, asking people to give money and asking money. The court's policies are progressing smoothly here, and there is no excuse or opportunity to make trouble for Qin Feng.

But the governor of Yongping still had to move.

Now the imperial court has basically completed its complete control over all regions in the Ming Dynasty, and the local personnel rights have been completely taken over to the central government. Some disobedient guys have basically been dealt with. They are not Cheng Weigao and have no qualifications or credits to show off in front of Qin Feng.

Yongping County, now in the eyes of the court, is like an alien. Qin Feng knew that the chief minister Quan Yunxingwen Yongping County was so polite that he seemed to be discussing.

This doesn't work.

Cheng Weigao had to get rid of him and could not let him stay in Yongping County. In Qin Feng's opinion, this was a complete righteousness of the monarch and the ministers. If he really wanted to get into trouble, it would be unsightly, and it would also hurt his reputation as a benevolent king.

Now is a good opportunity. The army is about to gather in Yongping County. Lu Dayuan took 10,000 people away. Baoqing Camp is still staying here. There are actually not many choices for Cheng Weigao. In Qin Feng's opinion, this cannot be considered a choice.

The tone is about negotiation, but what is the difference between what the emperor said and the order?

Cheng Weigao's mouth was a little bitter, but then he figured it out again. He has always been a smart person. He had never thought of fighting with Qin Feng before, and it is even more impossible now.

The Ming regime has stabilized, and the imperial court's control over the local area is more than before. It is like a sky and an underground. The center has deeply penetrated their hands into the most grassroots village-level organizations in the local area. It is really like an arm to use fingers, and his Yongping, which is poked horizontally in it, is as conspicuous as it is.

It was because I was too arrogant and should have taken the initiative to see all this, so that everyone would be better. Now that the emperor proposed it, he was obviously expressing his dissatisfaction to him.

He made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Cheng Weigao was still very confident in this regard. As long as he agreed to the emperor to work in Yuejing, even if it was a false position, as long as he lived for one day, the emperor would never embarrass the Cheng family. If he stayed in this position and did not leave, it would bring disaster to the Cheng family.

The only thing I have to do in the future seems to be to eat and drink well, to maintain my body well, and to live longer, which is my greatest contribution to the Cheng family.

After thinking through this section, the previous unhesitation on my face disappeared like the spring breeze blowing, and my face was filled with joy. "I have longed for the prosperity of Yuejing in the past. But I have been busy in the past, and I always left in a hurry and returned in a hurry. I can go to Yuejing to serve in a position. That is what the old minister yearns for. Everything depends on the arrangements of Your Majesty. I can go to Yuejing in the future at any time to take up my new post."

Talking to smart people is simple. Cheng Weigao is undoubtedly the most intelligent group of these smart people. In a blink of an eye, he can think clearly about the powerful relationship inside and express his attitude without any nostalgia. This is equivalent to sending himself to Qin Feng in front of him and shouting loudly, "Your Majesty, just say nothing, don't be polite."

Qin Feng felt a little embarrassed when Cheng Weigao was so refreshing. His eating habits were indeed not very particular. Of course, if you have to give a candied date to a slap, you have to give him a candied date.

"I heard that Ling Gong's son Cheng Bin is a great talent. When the princes and princes implemented the reform of the administration and implemented the scientific examination system, Cheng Bin was the first group to participate in the scientific examination, and he ranked first. Now he is a county magistrate in Wan County, right?"

"The dog is not a big talent, but he is only a little clever, so he should not be praised by His Majesty." Cheng Weigao said modestly.

"Monor Cheng cannot be too modest. I know that Wan County is the most prosperous county in Yongping County today. It has good public security. It can be said that you don't pick up the road and don't close your doors at night. There are not many such talents in the Ming Dynasty. Monor Cheng, I want Mr. Ling to serve as the deputy governor of Yongping. What do you think?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the son only has the talent of a county. His mind is not on the governance of the place. Even Wanping is forced by the old minister. Letting him be the deputy governor of Yongping will be a mistake." Cheng Weigao himself decided to leave, so he was sure that his son is still here. If Cheng Bin is asked to be the deputy governor, the future will undoubtedly be the root of trouble. I am afraid that the new county governor will be undermined immediately. The lord's son will not take power, and the officials below will follow his son's leader. What's the difference between this and being the county governor? It's really a disaster. He refused without thinking at the moment.

Qin Feng originally wanted to make a transition slowly, but he didn't want to do it too ruthlessly all at once. Cheng Bin was the deputy guard to serve as the people of An Yongping County. Even though Cheng Bin was talented, he did not have the influence of his son in the end. When the people below saw this situation, he was a smart person and would eventually realize the emperor's intentions. However, Cheng Weigao refused so quickly that Qin Feng could not help but feel that this guy was going to take care of himself?

His face sank unknowingly.

Cheng Weigao only glanced at him and guessed the emperor's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has actually wanted to ask His Majesty for his son for a long time. However, he has always been thin-skinned and difficult to speak, so he is brave today." Cheng Weigao bent down and said.

"Where does he want to go? As long as you say it, I will agree." Qin Feng's tone was very indifferent.

"The dog has always wanted to go to the Commerce Department. He is not very interested in governing the local area, but is very interested in business. I want to ask His Majesty to ask him to be a deputy to Lord Wang." Cheng Weigao said.

Wang Yueyao of the Commerce Department's position in the court is equivalent to a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now Cheng Bin is just a county magistrate. He went to serve as a deputy to Wang Yueyao. Even if he had been lifted up by several levels, it would be considered a super-relocated move. However, after hearing this, Qin Feng's face stretched out, and he was not afraid that Cheng Weigao would not ask for office. As long as he asked for it, Qin Feng would dare to give it to him.

"Cheng Bin's idea is very strange. Although the Commerce Department is rich, many scholars just don't want to go where they are? Wang Yueyao has always been very annoyed. Cheng Bin is willing to go there, so she must be very happy. So let's do it. After Cheng Bin finishes the affairs, he will report to the Commerce Department!" Qin Feng said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing Qin Feng's appearance, Cheng Weigao knew that his treasure was right, which not only promoted his son several levels, but also allowed the emperor to dissatisfied with him. The Commercial Bureau is a good place. Cheng Weigao saw it very clearly that the status of this department will inevitably become higher and higher in the future. His Majesty is not ordinary keen on business, and business can indeed bring more wealth to the country. As long as this policy continues, with the prosperity of business in the future, the status of merchants will inevitably become higher and higher, and the Commercial Bureau, which is in charge of these merchants, will have more and more weight in the court.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, when will the new county magistrate take office and when will the memorial be transferred to the government?"

After hearing Cheng Weigao's words, Qin Feng looked at Cheng Weigao up and down: "Mr. Cheng, what you mean, why do you want to run to Yuejing early? It's not possible now. No matter how early it is, you have to wait for the Hulao incident. Now Yongping County is our base camp for Qin. If you, the county magistrate, leave now and the new county magistrate takes office, you will have to catch it immediately. You can't just leave your current business!"

"How dare you!" Cheng Weigao laughed: "It's just that I am envious of the prosperity of Yuejing. When I hear where I can go to retire, I feel like a cat catch. I really don't want to wait for a moment. But even if Your Majesty is relieved, I won't leave if I don't finish the things in front of me!"

"Retirement?" Qin Feng shook his head, "Mr. Cheng, you should give up this thought. When you arrive in Yuejing City, you are afraid that you will have more things. How can you retire? Now you are the magistrate of a county, and you are in charge of a county. When you arrive in Yuejing City, you just look at the whole country and your vision can no longer be limited to one region and one place!"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Cheng Weigao couldn't help but feel a little stupid. It was a bit different from his thoughts, but when he went to Yuejing, what seat could he have to sit in? It seems that there is no empty seat, and looking at the whole country, this is the matter of the Prime Minister! Cheng Weigao knew very clearly that the position of the Prime Minister, whether in the past, present, or in the future, would not have his own affairs.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "I am going to let you go to the Zhengshi Hall. Now there are only three people in the Zhengshi Hall, namely Quan Yun, Jin Jingnan, Fang Dazhi, and Jin Jingnan and Fang Dazhi also serve as the Censor of the Chief Censor and the Minister of Personnel. Of course, this is just a temporary solution. In the future, the people in the Zhengshi Hall will no longer serve as the affairs of the Six Ministry, but will only be in charge."

Cheng Weigao's eyelids twitched. His political literacy was not ordinary, so he immediately grasped the key point in Qin Feng's words. The Political Affairs Hall will be separated from specific affairs and only be responsible for supervision. In other words, the people in the Political Affairs Hall will be above the six ministries. The Political Affairs Hall will be composed of many people, and the deepest meaning is to divide the power of the chief minister.
