Fang Yingwu's first name post was low-key and only mentioned his identity; the second name post was public and almost included his background and relationship. It can be said that he couldn't be more public.
Presenting them one in front and one back, together they are respectful in the front and arrogant in the back. This is Fang Yingwu’s two-hand preparation. If you present the second name post at the very beginning, it will appear too arrogant and overpowering.
It smells coercive. But since the first invitation was rejected as a foreshadowing, the second invitation will not seem so arrogant.
The new governor of Yansui Town, whose surname is Yang Minghao, is from Jining, Shandong Province. He was the former chief envoy to the left of Henan Province. This time he was promoted from the second-rank chief envoy to the third-rank right deputy chief envoy. He is the governor of Yansui Town and manages military affairs. It can be said that his official career is
proud.
Maybe some laymen don't understand why one is called a proud official career after changing from a second-rank envoy to a third-rank governor? Don't be surprised, the official system of the Ming Dynasty is so complicated and strange.
To put it simply, in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing officials were very important, while local officials were relatively low-grade. If a person moved from a local official to a Beijing official, a reduction of one rank would be regarded as a level change, not a demotion.
The governor is nominally an official dispatched by the imperial court and is a type of imperial envoy, while the chief envoy is still a local official. Therefore, following the principle of noble officials in the capital, the governor's rank is higher than that of the chief envoy. This has nothing to do with rank.
Therefore, changing from the second-grade chief envoy to the third-grade capital official is considered a normal promotion, while becoming the third-grade deputy governor of the capital is equivalent to a promotion of half a level. If he becomes the second-grade imperial governor of the capital, it is an exceptional promotion.
Already.
The governor is a high-ranking official in the border areas, and one step up is the imperial envoy or the six ministers; the chief envoy can only be regarded as a high-ranking official, and it is almost impossible to be promoted from the chief envoy to the minister in one step. This is the difference.
All in all, in the local level, the third-rank governor is the superior of the second-rank chief envoy, and rank does not explain everything.
Regardless of gossip, Governor Yang was chatting and laughing happily in a flower hall in the inner courtyard of Yinchuan Post. The person who accompanied him was the Magistrate Qin of Mizhi County.
Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Cui Zhenfei and Mr. Cui walking in in a hurry. Governor Yang was surprised and said: "Mr. Cui is not holding the door in front, but why are you here?"
Master Cui smiled bitterly and said: "I received two famous invitations right away, so it would be better to report it to Dong Weng in person."
Governor Yang reached out and took Fang Yingwu's two name cards and looked up. The first one was normal, but the second one was like a family resume, with all kinds of impressive official titles and names that made people dazzled.
But Governor Yang was decisive and could see clearly. Shang Su'an, the Shaobao University scholar, was obviously the former chief assistant Shang Ren, and Shi Qugong, the governor of the ten prefectures in Susong, Jiangnan, was the famous Wang Shu.
It is okay to report that your family background is normal and that you are a teacher, but even my grandfather reported it as a feudal official. Governor Yang couldn't help but laugh at this.
Master Cui stood aside and gave a brief report on the situation. Governor Yang, who was in a good mood, pointed to the end of the famous post and said to County Magistrate Qin: "This boy is so young and energetic. Even his grandfather is on the list, Governor of Jiangnan."
The county magistrate of Qin took a look and quickly replied: "Wang Shiqugong is from Sanyuan in this province. The Wang family is also a big family in this province. Sanyuan Academy is run by the Wang family."
Governor Yang couldn't help but restrain his smile after hearing this. Although Yansui Town and Shaanxi Province have become two parallel administrative divisions, it is difficult to separate Yansui Town and Shaanxi Province in terms of human geography. Since the Wang family is a powerful family in Shaanxi,
, then you can’t be too arrogant.
It’s no wonder that this son specifically listed his grandfather on the name card, and he put a lot of thought into it. He definitely didn’t mean to show off. Governor Yang also set his sights on the two lines of “serving in front of the army according to the order” and “Guangyouku Book Office”.
Very beautiful. In the literal sense, he was actually sent to the frontier, and his life seemed to be unsatisfactory. He was so miserable that he had to work as a book clerk in a warehouse.
Governor Yang may not understand who Fang Yingwu is for a while, but Governor Yang knows Fang Qingzhi and Fang Qingzhi's son, and local officials will pay more or less attention to the trends in the capital.
So can I not see you? I can't not see you. If Yang Hao dares to refuse to meet Fang Yingwu today and spreads the word, his reputation will be reduced. If he is a noble general or a hereditary commander, then he does not need to care about his reputation as a scholar, but
After all, he is still a scholar.
But Fang Yingwu continued to wait outside the door. After an unknown period of time, Li Laoyi's soldier came out from the door and respectfully invited him: "Master Futai sent a message to see Mr. Fang."
It’s done! Scholars have a common language! Fang Yingwu suppressed his joy and followed Old Man Li into the front hall, and someone changed to guide him through the front hall and toward the back.
Fang Yingwu entered the flower hall in the backyard and bowed forward: "Fang Yingwu, who was born late, has met Mr. Zhongcheng." Then he looked briefly and saw that Governor Yang was in his fifties, with gentle eyes and a kind face.
When Governor Qin saw Governor Yang starting to meet guests, he took the initiative to leave and went to prepare for tonight's dust-washing banquet. After Governor Yang watched Magistrate Qin leave, he jokingly said: "Fang Xiansheng is not studying in a school or serving in the army, so why?"
Come?"
Fang Yingwu saw that there were no more people around him, so he boldly said: "Wansheng is here to assist Futai!"
Governor Yang chuckled a few times, "You dare to speak up at such a young age. How can you assist this court?"
Fang Yingwu asked seriously: "Futai's recent rise seems to be a blessing, but have you thought about the difficulties in the future?"
Governor Yang didn't pay much attention to it, and just thought it was a kid who was deliberately alarmist, and said nonchalantly: "I heard that there have been very few things going on in recent years. What's the problem?"
"Wan Sheng has arrived in Yulin for a month, and has witnessed various situations. There are arrogant soldiers and powerful generals inside, and there are resurgent thieves outside. Don't worry about it?"
Governor Yang gradually frowned when he heard what Fang Yingwu said seemed reasonable, "I'd like to hear the details."
Not afraid that he wanted to hear it, but that he didn't want to hear it, Fang Yingwu hurriedly explained in detail: "In recent years, there have been red salt ponds in Yansui Town, and Hongcheng'er has achieved two great victories. The rest of the time, we rely on the side walls to win more than we lose, so
The morale of the officers and soldiers became increasingly arrogant.
What's more, the officers and soldiers only serve the king and Duke Yu, and they may not be respectful to the other civil servants. If Futai is in Yansui, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control. This means that there are arrogant soldiers and strong generals."
Governor Yang thought about it and realized that Fang Yingwu was right. In recent years, Yansui Town has made a lot of achievements, and its record is one of the best in the border towns. It is strange that the soldiers are not arrogant.
Although the current general environment is that civil servants have taken the lead and the situation of civil servants controlling military forces has been stabilized, there will always be microclimates in the general environment. The former Governor Ding left the job after only one year. Who knows who among them
no problem?
Objectively speaking, the status of military attachés during the Chenghua period was indeed inferior to that of the previous generation, and was completely inferior to civilian officials. However, it was not as humble as after Jiajing, where they could be beaten, scolded, and beheaded at will. Governor Yang's concerns were not unreasonable.
At the same time, Governor Yang also knew that the Wang and Yu Ergong Fang Yingwu mentioned were Wang Yue and Yu Zijun, who were two predecessors.
Wang Yuejiu oversaw military affairs in the northwest and promoted many generals. He took full command of several major victories and gained great prestige among the military attachés. The first tripartite general system of the country was also designed for him, but this official name changed in decades.
Later it was changed to the governor of the three sides, so Wang Yue can even be called the first governor of the Ming Dynasty.
Yu Zijun was the former governor of Yansui. He participated in two great battles and presided over the construction of more than a thousand miles of border walls, which greatly improved the defense situation of Yansui Town. From then on, it was difficult for thieves to escape from Yansui.
The direction is heading inland.
However, last year both Wang Yue and Yu Zijun were promoted to the capital. Wang Yue was the censor of Zuodu and in charge of the 12th regiment camp, and Yu Zijun was the minister of the Ministry of War.
Governor Yang is very self-aware. In comparison, he is still far behind Wang and Yu. Those arrogant and powerful generals will definitely not be as convinced in front of him as they were towards these two predecessors.
Fang Yingwu secretly observed and saw that Governor Yang was listening carefully, "In the past few years, the Tao thieves were repeatedly frustrated, and a border wall was built to block them. The northern Hetao has been peaceful for several years. But after a few years, the Tao thieves gradually reappeared, and the border wall
The beacon fire is about to start again.
Futai has just taken office and is facing this situation, which must not be ignored. If the opportunity is lost before the battle, Futai will also be convicted and imprisoned."
Governor Yang's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. He was originally in a good mood, but Fang Yingwu's analysis immediately made him nervous. He thought to himself: "The ancients said that hard work can rejuvenate a country, and leisure can lead to death. This period of my life
Isn’t time too relaxing?”
After Fang Yingwu frightened Mr. Futai with "internal and external troubles", he remained silent.
Governor Yang raised his head and saw Fang Yingwu standing quietly, and said: "This court has been promoted several times in the past years, and we have been promoted to the position of chief envoy, all thanks to Mr. Shang, and you are not an outsider.
You just said that you want to assist me, there is no problem, how can you wait for me after Zhongliang? It happens that I am short of people around me, if I don't mind, I will ask you to be my teacher, it is much better than working as a clerk in the warehouse."
Fang Yingwu was overjoyed. This was his purpose, so he paid his respects again and said, "Thank you for the kindness of Futai! How dare you not try your best in this late life!"
Governor Yang waved his hand and said, "I won't say any more polite words. You must be confident enough to invite me."
Fang Yingwu said categorically: "When Futai arrives in Yulin City, the first thing he should do is to open a school!"
"Huh?" Governor Yang didn't understand for a while. Running schools and promoting education is indeed a very honorable political achievement, but why is it the first important thing?
"According to the constitution of this dynasty, the government has a government school, the county has a county school, and the health school has a health school. There are all kinds of students in the school. However, the Yulin health school has only been built for a few years, and it has only been five years since Yansui Town moved to Yulin. So far, there has not been any
School.
After Futai settles in Yulin, he can build Yulin Health School, and then select outstanding candidates from among the soldiers and civilians in Yansui Town to enroll and give merit to the students."
"Wonderful!" Governor Yang finally figured it out and couldn't help but cheer loudly, but interrupted Fang Yingwu. This was indeed an extremely good idea!
In this world where the nobles are noble and the military is low, if those military officers have the opportunity to let their children gain fame, even if they are talents, why don't they rush to do it like wild ducks?
Besides, the military attache may be hereditary, but it is impossible for all the children to be hereditary to the position. The vast majority of the children have to find another way. If a school is built in Yulin City and there is a channel to pursue fame, who wouldn't want to join?
Don't think that a scholar has no future. Even a scholar can survive for many years, and then become a Gongsheng student based on seniority and enter the Imperial College. After obtaining the qualifications of a Gongsheng student, he will have the opportunity to become an official! When a Gongsheng student becomes an official, his social status is higher than that of a military attache, and he does not have to go to battle.
The risk of war.
But the school is definitely in the hands of the city's most prominent civil servant, the governor, and no one else can have a hand in it. Whoever is allowed to go to school is not allowed to go to school, and whoever is allowed to become a student and scholar is told to get out. It's not just a word from the governor.
Talking thing?
Based on this, the military attache who is not afraid of the need will not bow his head. Therefore, building a school not only earns reputation, but also has control. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, and there are no negative effects at all.
After thinking about this, how could Governor Yang not shout "Wonderful"? His eyes when he looked at Fang Yingwu no longer showed any slightest hint of arrogance, and he treated Fang Yingwu seriously as a think tank.
By this time, Governor Yang's evaluation of Fang Yingwu was the same as that of Ambassador Guangyou Kusun - he was able to understand the mysteries of the operation of power at a young age, and he was at least a once-in-a-decade talent!
Feeling Governor Yang's enthusiasm and attention, Fang Yingwu burst into tears, "Master, my piece of gold can finally shine. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
