In Hangzhou city, Lord Futai led a group of Zhejiang officials to the road and occasionally patrolled Hangzhou, which made him feel a little accomplished. Fortunately, everyone was in casual clothes. Although the guards who accompanied him were nervous, they were all following in regular clothes.
Behind him were Zhao Ming and Hangzhou Magistrate Wang, who followed Xu Qian, following him and followed him.
"Yes, it's going to rain." Zhao Ming looked at the sky, and the sky was filled with haze.
However, he didn't know if this was Xu Futai's improvisation or was meant to mean it. Sometimes, the thoughts of Master Futai jumped too fast, and he couldn't keep up.
Magistrate Wang smiled and said, "This season, after a shower, the weather is probably getting colder."
Xu Qian shook his head and smiled: "I saw this, but this is not what I saw. Have you noticed no abnormalities.
Anomaly? Both Zhao Ming and Wang Taifu looked around and the sky carefully, but found no abnormalities.
Xu Qian smiled and said, "Look at the houses on both sides. There are so many clothes and quilts outside. The sky is gloomy, but no one comes to collect them."
It was raining, and it was time to collect clothes, but at this time, many people's clothes and quilts were hung outside the window, but no one collected them.
Zhao Ming lowered his head and pondered, "What sir means is, this..."
Xu Qian smiled slightly: "What I mean is that this is a good phenomenon, which means that the people have their own karma. What they are doing now is more important than collecting a few pieces of clothes. This is the benefit of the new policy, it is
Because the new policy allows everyone to work and everyone can earn money, so everyone doesn’t care about the gains and losses of a few pieces of clothing.”
This principle... is really a bit crooked.
Zhao Ming had to say: "What the lord said makes sense, and the lower officials were impressed."
Xu Qian said: "I heard that there have been a lot more workshops recently, right?"
Zhao Ming said: "Yes, it's like mushrooms after a rain. On the one hand, it's difficult to maintain farming in the countryside. Many landlords in all provinces in the world cannot maintain it. They simply sold their fields and came here to look for opportunities."
If you want to change a person's concept, it is not to waste your mouth and preach, but to make their old life unable to maintain. Now this truth is also very touched by Xu Qian. All regions are urging food, and all prefectures and counties are thinking about it.
Taking the opportunity to make up for the owed grain, coupled with the reduction of manpower, many landlords and gentry have been unable to maintain their previous wonderful life by farming alone. Under this situation, the embarrassment of reality has to force them.
Go and make a living.
And the wonderful thing is that if there was no government urging grain, if other provinces were not filling in the anger of these landlords and gentry, most of them would be blasted towards the new policy. After all, after the new policy, a large number of tenants fled, causing them to
The pressure is getting bigger and bigger. But now, because of the official grain, it is the last straw, which makes them unable to hold on. In the end, their anger is naturally transferred from the new policy to government officials everywhere.
But no matter how angry it is, it is not helpful. In front of the black hat, local governments often use the means of pulling one faction and fighting one faction. They hug the thighs of the big landlords and the gentry tightly. On the other hand, they kill all the small and medium-sized landlords, so many
People flocked to Zhejiang. I heard that Zhejiang opened a workshop to earn money, but they all failed to invest in it.
The wealth of the world is now gathered in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then it has been exchanged into huge sheds and turned into spinning machines and countless tools.
But... the next problem seems to have also emerged.
Zhao Ming said: "But the problem is that many people in various provinces do not work in farming. It is not a solution to continue like this. This year, it will be a good idea next year. In time, I am afraid of this grain production...
In fact, Zhao Ming doesn't have to worry about this. He is the governor of Zhejiang and is not the chief minister of the cabinet. If he manages his Zhejiang well, what does it have to do with other provinces?
Xu Qian smiled and said, "Actually, this is my official also considers that food is the most important thing for the people. To be honest, if everyone is engaged in business, it will be a famine sooner or later. Yes, the last time the sea road pacification envoy was not here.
Have you ever had a batch of sweet potatoes? I ordered you to plant a batch of sweet potatoes to see how they are effective.”
Zhao Ming was doing this, but Zhao Ming did not pay too much attention. He just said: "The land has been selected, and it is on a village outside Hangzhou Prefecture. The officials will pay attention."
Xu Qian nodded.
As he was speaking, a fast horse came quickly, and the knight on the horse shouted, "Sir, sir... the capital has its will, the capital has its will."
"The will comes."
Everyone looked at each other, and even Xu Qian couldn't help but a special light flashed through his eyes.
The capital will not come to the will for no reason. At this time, unless...
Could it be that it really works?
Xu Qian actually got to the point of knowing many of the actions of the capital through various eyeliners. However, after all, it was not easy to fully grasp the latest developments of the capital. Xu Qian was not vague and immediately took Zhao Ming and Wang.
The prefect returned home after the magistrate, and the angel had arrived.
As Xu Qian expected, it was indeed an imperial edict to entrust Xu Qian as the governor of Zhizhe. Although he was promoted to the governor of Zhizhe, he was still in the position of the left deputy censor, and he was still on duty in the Censorate of the Censorate.
.
The real power is great, but the official position has not been improved.
Originally, the governor Xu Qian was of higher rank than other governors. Others were the right deputy censors, but he was the left deputy censor, which was outstanding.
Now, after being promoted to this Governor, he is a group of chickens, because any Governor often has the title of Secretary of the Household Department. For example, Fang Xianfu, who was appointed as the Governor of Zhizhe, also has the title of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing.
Although Xu Qian, the left deputy censor, seemed a bit low-level compared with them.
However, the title is just illusory after all. After all, the Governor of Zhizhe was given, and everyone celebrated.
After receiving the order, the officialdom in Zhejiang was shocked and the congratulatory people were overwhelmed. Xu Qian asked his friends to entertain him, but he hurried in the study, pondered for a moment, and began to write a memorial.
His memorial is very simple, he refuses holy grace.
Because I am young and the new policy is imminent, at this critical moment, if I am promoted to Governor, I am afraid that I will not be able to do many things myself, so I beg the Lord to resign as Governor.
Any minister who enters the cabinet must be twisted after entering the cabinet. In order to show that he is not keen on entering the cabinet, he will inevitably write a letter to express his old eyes.
Of course, this is just a politeness, but the governor is humble and has no such statement.
Xu Qian wrote a letter to imply that the court would be promoted to governor, so it would be better for Zhejiang to take over as the post of governor of Zhejiang, so that the new policy would not be in a critical way.
After handing over the memorial, Xu Qian felt relieved. The Governor of Zhejiang was the limit of the rank of officials. Since then, the fourteen prefectures in Zhili, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces were all under Xu Qian's rule.
The new policy that has been clamoring in Nanzhili and Fujian has no resistance at this moment.
Xu Qian, who took office as a new official, did not rush to submit documents to various provinces and governments to implement the new policies. He was waiting for the statements from various places. I believe that it will not take long before everyone will express their attitude. He will have to do so, whether he is willing or not. Give me an explanation.
As for those hard-working players, Xu Qian was not worried. With his current strength as the governor of Zhizhe, his current reputation and strong strength in Jiangnan, he could crush him without any suspense.
But there is no need to hold a banquet. After just getting promoted, I held a banquet, which was not very good after all.
However, the governor's yamen was filled with joy, and Xu Futai became Xu's platform, but don't look at the difference in this word. On the one hand, this represents the court's affirmation of the new policy. If it is certainly insufficient, How could it be so easy to lift Taiwan and promote it to Taiwan? On the other hand, once Xu Taiwan presides over the direct and Zhejiang provinces, the new policy will definitely be expanded. The new policy will be expanded. The National Taiwan University must let its confidants urge the new policies of provinces and governments to discuss the new policies ,Who is familiar with them? So in the future, everyone's future will naturally be promising.
Everything goes well and it's almost time to show off.
Xu Qian sat at the head of the seat, eating tea slowly. His eyes glanced at everyone's faces, and then said: "Your Majesty's kindness is here to order this official to be the governor of Zhizhe, and to control Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian. , What kind of virtue is this official? "I said this, of course, this is just a function word. If I hide in my own home, Xu Qian will probably say, "If I don't become this governor, who dares to do it? I don't have this qualification, who will Have this qualification.
After being an official for a long time, he will inevitably be affected, so Xu Qian's first sentence was always inevitable and he could not help but say some official words and clichés.
Then, Xu Qian smiled and said, "Since Xu is added as the governor, it can be seen that the court hopes to promote Zhejiang's new policy and implement the new policy. Although there are some natural conditions, fortunately, Fujian and Nanzhi Li, innately enough. Especially in Fujian, there are many mountains and few fields, and the people's lives are particularly difficult. They are not suitable for farming. Those who rely on the mountains and seas must make some livelihoods. Four or five out of ten refugees in Zhejiang come from Fujian. It can be seen that the implementation of the new policy in Fujian is imperative. As for the fourteen prefectures in southern Zhili, they are similar to Zhejiang, with waterways everywhere. Originally, the merchant atmosphere is strong, so I think that the current top priority is the Governor's Office. It is time to promote the new policy immediately, but it is far from enough to rely on a governor's office alone. I hope everyone can offer suggestions and submit any ideas if they have any ideas."
Everyone was excited and said, "Secretariat and others must obey the orders of the Lord and make the best plans."
Xu Qian said again: "Now that the end of the year, I am going to be the one who is throwing bricks and jade. Let's take out a prescription first, let's see what the officials think."
