Chai Ke glanced at Feng Ziying, his face became colder, "You can wait until you become the chief assistant before you can say this. Feng Ziying doesn't care either.
He and Chai Ke had an unusual friendship. They occasionally went out of their way, but they were not lies. On the contrary, they could bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
"I'm telling the truth. Cun Zhigong keeps saying that people should be appointed on their merits and only those with integrity should be selected, but I think we should add another one: appointing people based on their pragmatism and only talking about virtue and integrity without talking about efficiency and ability. This defeats the purpose of hiring people.
"
Feng Ziying was not polite, and Chai Ke did not refute. "Especially the local officials, they all said that the exterminator should choose someone who is upright and upright. Of course he should, but if he chooses someone who values conversation and can't do anything,
You were randomly fooled by the people below. Over the past few years, the local gentry and powerful people praised you and gave you a plaque for all people. Shi Shiran was promoted and walked away, but what about the local people? What did they gain? Are you an official for the people or for your own promotion?
Be an official?"
Feng Ziying's tone was calm, but the meaning in her words was sharp.
It is pointed out that there are problems with the mechanism for selecting officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and there are also problems with the mechanism for evaluating officials. It is even more problematic to blindly focus the evaluation on the increase or decrease in local litigation, the quality of education, and the evaluation of gentry.
"Ziying, it seems that you have a lot of opinions on the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Chai Ke laughed.
"Of course, I never mince words." Feng Ziying was also polite. "I dare to say this in front of Prime Minister Ye, Master Qi and Duke Cun. There is a problem with the selection and appointment of officials in the Ministry of Personnel, and there is also a problem with the mechanism for training officials.
Jinshi's observation of government should not be in the Seven Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The most important place to go is the local state capital, to study hard and observe. In addition, even if the Jinshi's observation of government is over, he should go to the local state capital first. After that, he can do something
I am a general judge, I am a magistrate, I am a magistrate, but you cannot be a county magistrate and a prefecture magistrate..."
Chai Ke was amused by Feng Ziying's words, "Ziying, where are you watching the government? In the Hanlin Academy, why, after you passed this level, you started to break the seal of heaven and drugged the people behind you?"
"Brother Zishu, what you said is even more wrong. I am a concubine and watch the government in the Hanlin Academy, but what about the ***? I went to Ningxia to enter the grassland, defended Ganzhou, and fought fiercely with the rebels.
I'm glad you're here too. It's me, Shangguan. What happened after I came back? I haven't even breathed yet. They sent me to the south of the Yangtze River again. It was a bumpy ride. I really didn't have a quiet time in those years. It was better than all the shujishijia.
It’s a lot of walking to get up, isn’t it true? But I think it’s worth it. I’ve gained more knowledge, learned a lot, and got familiar with many things and people below. If you really want me to stay in Qibu, I
It’s really boring and I can’t learn anything.”
Feng Ziying's words were indeed true, and Chai Ke could not refute it. Seeing that Chai Ke was silent, Feng Ziying was not ashamed of himself, but he still wanted to make some things clear.
"Brother Zishu, the current situation is a major change in the world. Otherwise, our six tribes will not become seven tribes. The work of the officials must also change. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been peaceful for a hundred years. The population is growing and the population is narrow.
The situation is becoming more and more serious, but climate change is becoming increasingly severe. Harvest failure in the North seems to have become the norm. If you are not careful, refugees will be everywhere."
"You have also seen that Shaanxi has not yet been pacified, chaos has broken out in Shanxi, and the situation in Henan this year is not very good. If officials only focus on Shangguan and the gentry, but do not want to care about the common people, the chaos in Shanxi will happen again, even in Henan.
It is inevitable that Shandong will be staged..."
"...In addition, it is an inevitable trend to expand the Southeast Asia outside the territory. Otherwise, the contradiction between population and money and food will only become more and more prominent. The imperial court has not yet made an overall plan and consideration in this regard. I also mentioned it to Brother Meiming and Brother Jinghui.
Having experienced this situation, they basically agree with my point of view, especially Brother Jing Hui, who also said that he would vigorously promote the pace of Zhou's foreign expansion..."
Chai Ke, Bi Ziyan, Guo Zhengyu, and Yang He were the four great kings among Huguang scholars who were affected by the Guanying earthquake. The ones who came later were Wu Liangsi and Yang Sichang.
Scholars in Huguang have always formed an alliance with northern scholars, and overseas expansion has always been a passion of Jiangnan merchants. Chai Ke did not expect that Feng Ziying would support this policy so unswervingly. "Ziying, I really didn't expect your attitude to be so bad.
It is different from the views of many people in the court. They feel that even Liaodong is so difficult to defend, and we are unable to govern Uzang. We can even give up on the Western Regions. The Mongols are still eyeing us.
Jue, how can the imperial court still have the energy to consider extraterritorial Nanyang?"
What Chai Ke said also represents the views and attitudes of a large number of people in the court.
"This is also a time of great strife. The more we must forge ahead, I actually feel that the situation in Liaodong has reached an inflection point. Although the Jianzhou Jurchens captured Anle Prefecture in the last round, their offensive seemed to be unabated, but in fact they suffered heavy losses.
I predict that in two or three years, Nurhaci will have to go back to lick his wounds and recuperate. If the Mongolian stalled Lin Dan Batur, a master with high vision, low ambition, big talent but a big success, if he puts in two more troubles, I guess all the Chahar people will have to do it.
It has fallen. On land, we seem to be on the defensive now, but we will soon be able to achieve a balance of offense and defense. But at sea, we cannot wait. The Xiyi people have already arrived. It turns out that the Nanyang lands that were originally our inner lakes, Folangji
The people are coming, the Dutch are coming, and the English are coming. If we don’t keep the enemy outside our borders, the enemy will set foot on our soil.”
Chai Ke was a little moved by Feng Ziying's words, and he said after a long time: "But the imperial court's financial resources may not be able to withstand the balance of offense and defense on land and the determination to forge ahead at sea as you mentioned."
"That's why I told Brother Meiming and Brother Jinghui to take action first with the power of the people, and our court will support us from behind. The power of merchants cannot be underestimated. The combined financial resources of merchants from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Jiangnan are more than hundreds of millions. The key is to
Arouse their interest, businessmen, it's not early to do anything without profit, but once it is profitable, someone said that for three times the profit, they can sell the noose to hang themselves. This is true. As long as the businessmen are interested, then this
As long as our strength is mobilized, the imperial court can use it to achieve our goals." Chai Ke's eyes were focused, "The imperial court intends to set up a government in the east, and it will indeed have some influence on the central government, but you mentioned that the next step is
Sulu, Luzon, and Old Port are much further apart,·
"Brother Zishu, you may not know that several major shipyards along the coast are now able to build large Western-style sailing ships. This kind of sailing ship has a large load capacity, good stability, many and complex sails, but it can sail fast with wind. Denglai Navy has already
The Fujian Navy will fully adopt these Clark and Galen ships as warships. The next step for the Fujian Navy will be the same. Coastal sea trade merchants have basically switched to this type of Western-style sailing ships. Therefore, there is only a small distance between Sulu, Luzon and the old port.
It’s not a problem anymore.”
Feng Ziying added again: "Luzon, Sulu, Jiaozhi, and even now Dongfan, three crops a year, if they can be fully developed, it will be of great help to alleviate the pressure of the population of our great Zhou Dynasty. This can be overwhelming.
.”
Chai Ke had to admit that this was indeed very tempting. There were constant refugees in the North, which on the surface seemed to be caused by natural disasters, but in fact the deeper problem was that this land could no longer support so many people.
As long as it is not a good year, then they will face the pressure of emigration because they do not have enough to eat. Once there is a disaster year, they will have no choice but to flee with their families, and it will be natural for them to be coerced into rebels. Feng Ziying is now taking various opportunities to continue to fight.
To promote your own views, if you can't even influence the familiar and trusted people around you and get them to recognize your own views, how can you possibly get those strangers to recognize your views? This is a long-term solution, but it doesn't work.
Must go.
And Feng Ziying also knows very well that this is also an opportunity to gather strength and mobilize influence.
Gather the strength of the businessmen firmly, drive the land gentry away, and transform them into industrial and commercial gentry for my use.
This is like a united front strategy, which makes the allies
There are many and strong ones, and the enemies are reduced to few and weak ones. Only in this way can things be successful.
Nowadays, the scholars and officials in Huguang have basically accepted their views. On the contrary, many of the northern scholars who came from their own families still do not agree with it. The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are also more divided. The industries and commerce along the coast are relatively developed.
The local gentry will become more and more supportive, while the gentry in the inland areas who make a living by renting land will be very disgusted.
Feng Ziying didn't care about this either. As long as the demonstration effect of Wusongkou Shipyard and Stock Exchange came out, he believed that a large number of people would soon change their views, whether they were northern gentry or Jiangnan merchants.
She pulled away from Zhen Baochen's body with great satisfaction. Feng Ziying couldn't put it down. There was a bit of cunning and bravery in her softness and enchantment. She was indeed different from other women and made people forget to leave. "I'm afraid I have to return to Beijing in half a month.
." Feng Ziying leaned on the bed, feeling a little like smoking after smoking. Unfortunately, although tobacco has been introduced to the coastal areas, it has not been widely accepted. However, according to the news from Duan Xigui, some coastal ports have already
Many people have begun to smoke this kind of tampa wild rice, which is also called golden grass.
Feng Ziying also knew that this kind of thing could not be stopped, and it seemed inevitable that it would become popular. Moreover, the territory of Zhou Dynasty was vast and rich in resources, which was far from comparable to those in Luzon. There were many places for growing tobacco, and it could even be exported back to Luzon.
"Is your husband going to consider where I will end up?" Zhen Baochen turned around and wrapped around Feng Ziying like a flawless snake, asking with a smile.
"Do you really want to imitate Wang Xifeng?" Feng Ziying frowned slightly, but then opened her eyes and said, "Just do it if you want to, your temperament is indeed somewhat similar to hers."
"Then I really want to learn how to do it. When will my husband give me a son?" After these two months, Zhen Baochen has completely relaxed his mentality, and his smile is even more charming, "When the time comes
I am also planning to go to Tianjin Wei to visit Sister Feng. We are all in the same boat. We are both abandoned women who were abandoned by our husband. Moreover, we have to work hard to earn money to raise our sons for our husband. How can there be any logic in this world?"
