Volume E, Chapter 62: People have long-term worries, which can relieve immediate worries
Qiao Yingjia hopes to work in a state capital in the North, such as his hometown of Shanxi.
He is quite popular in Shanxi, so he will naturally get a lot of support when he goes to Shanxi.
Shandong is definitely not an option, because my native place is Shandong and it is necessary to escape my hometown, so Beizhi, Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi are my choices.
But Feng Ziying felt that Beizhi was the best. It was close to the capital and could grasp a lot of information in time. After all, she couldn't completely abandon the capital. Her father still needed to help him grasp the information at any time in Liaodong.
If it really doesn't work, Shanxi will work, but Shaanxi is the worst choice.
Feng Ziying is very aware of the current situation in Shaanxi. No one person can reverse the situation. If you are unlucky and encounter civil unrest and banditry, and if you do not have enough support, even if you are a time traveler, you will die there.
The situation in Beizhi is also more complicated. There are nine prefectures and two prefectures. In addition to Shuntian Prefecture and Xuanfu where Wandu Division was established, there are still seven prefectures and two prefectures.
The magistrates of the two states are from the fifth rank. After Feng Ziying's administration, he was promoted to the fifth rank by three consecutive levels. Therefore, it is impossible to serve as the magistrate of the state, but can only be the magistrate of the government. This is also in line with Feng Ziying's idea. He must adapt to it first.
The prefect should act as an assistant and help him get familiar with things.
It's just that the situation in Beizhili is not optimistic. In the past one or two decades, the weather has been bad and the drought has been serious. Except for Shanxi, the situation in all the prefectures in Beizhili is not good. In addition, the White Lotus Sect's home base
Also in Beizhili, the forces are intertwined, which makes the people's customs in this area strong, and the relationship between the people and the government is extremely tense. If there is a slight disaster, refugees will appear everywhere, which can easily lead to civil unrest.
However, the situation is not good anywhere. In the entire Northland, I am afraid Shandong is slightly better. That is because a canal can feed many people along it. It is the same in other provinces.
Qiao Yingjia originally wanted Feng Ziying to go to Shanxi. On the one hand, he also considered that it was his hometown and had rich connections. Second, Datong Town was the foundation of the Feng family and the Duan family, so it also had great influence, so Feng Ziying did things in Shanxi.
It was also more convenient, but Feng Ziying mentioned that he needed to pay attention to the capital at all times in order to provide some help to his father, and Qiao Yingjia understood.
After all, Liaodong is a matter of life and death, and Feng Tang is still at the helm of the Feng family. As long as he, the governor of Ji Liao, can successfully resign, the Feng family's future status will be considered stable.
However, this can only be said to be just thinking about it now. Such official career arrangements may change at any time. Even though Qi Yongtai is still the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, there are too many factors that can interfere with these appointments. The emperor and the cabinet
The attitudes and opinions of any of you may cause your original good idea to fail.
Feng Ziying suddenly brought up Beizhili, which puzzled both Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing.
Northern Zhili is just a geographical concept, not a first-level administrative region. To be precise, it is nine prefectures and two prefectures directly under the jurisdiction of the six ministries. Its basic management model is the same as that of the prefectures and prefectures in Southern Zhili. Unless there are special matters, it is usually in
The matter is handled at the government level, which does not have the chief envoys, prosecutors and governors of other provinces.
"Sir, what do you mean by Beizhili?" Wang Wenyan was also a little confused.
"I won't hide it from you. When my term of watching the government expires next year, I may go to a local government. It is very likely that I will work in a government here in Beizhili, such as Tongzhi. It is very important to serve in a local government.
It is also necessary, but you all know what Tongzhi does, that is, the hardships and difficult things are all yours. If you make achievements, the credit may not be yours, but if you cause trouble or problems, then it must be yours.
The board is going to hit you directly on the head."
Feng Ziying said calmly: "I will be eighteen years old next year. I should be considered the youngest fellow intellectual in the history of the entire Zhou Dynasty. I will be a fifth-rank official. If I finish the job in three years, I will be twenty-one years old. I will be a very suitable one."
At that age, if things go well, I hope to be a third-rank official by the time I’m thirty."
Feng Ziying's arrogance left Wang Wenyan and others dumbfounded.
They all knew that Feng Ziying's vision was extremely high, and her starting point was such a high one. At the age of seventeen, she had to be promoted three levels from the sixth rank to the rank of a full fifth rank official at the age of eighteen. This was the privilege of being a Jinshi.
But it's not that simple after that. The capital inspection is done every three years and it still needs to be checked to see if there are any vacancies. Some people may not be able to get promoted after serving three terms and nine years.
Moreover, becoming a fourth-rank official is a threshold. Many people are stuck at the level of becoming a fourth-rank official and cannot cross it in their lifetime. The situation is the same everywhere.
In their opinion, if Feng Ziying can become a fifth-rank official next year as he wishes, it will be very rare to reach a fourth-rank official at the age of thirty. Moreover, Feng Ziying's meritorious service should catch up with him in the court, and he met a good friend.
The opportunity came up with a strategy to open up the sea.
Once you get down to the local level and stay away from the political center, and you rely on the local area to do things, you really have to work hard year after year, term after term.
Even if you have Austrian aid in the court, it is very rare to be promoted in two terms and six years. Most of the fourth-grade officials have to wait for the opportunity to cross this level, and the promotion of officials above the fourth-grade is even more difficult.
It's difficult, it all needs to be recommended by the imperial court, and finally decided by the emperor.
Seeing the expressions of disbelief on the faces of several people, Feng Ziying also knew that it was difficult for them to accept such wild thoughts for a while, but it was normal.
"Classical Chinese, invitation, Ziyi, I know it's hard for you to accept, but I started compiling from the sixth grade when I was sixteen years old. How many people thought it was possible before? The second-level Jinshi directly awarded the Hanlin Academy scholar who was supposed to be the top scholar.
Author, who could have thought of it before?"
Feng Ziying smiled a little arrogantly, but she couldn't help but be recognized.
"I know that it will not be easy to have the same opportunity as in the DPRK after going to the local government. That's why I asked you to take action first. Not only to help my father make a difference in Liaodong, I also want to make a difference in the local area."
Make some dazzling achievements, let the princes in the court see it, and let a few masters be able to speak hard words on my matter."
Wang Wenyan and others looked at each other and nodded, "Since your Excellency has such confidence, I have no problem with it, but what does Your Excellency need us to do here in Beizhi?"
"The north is different from the south of the Yangtze River. The folk customs are strong. However, due to the influence of the weather, floods and droughts continue, and the local economy is in decline. A little carelessness can cause civil unrest, especially when disasters occur, it is easy to cause refugees, and
The various prefectures in Beizhi have always been the nests of the White Lotus Sect, and refugees have always been an important group for the White Lotus Sect to attract followers. So Yao Qing, you have to put some thought into this aspect, go as deep as possible, and help me sort out this matter.
, of course, it is not limited to the White Lotus Sect. In a word, everything involving local public security, local people's sentiments, gentry and officials, and merchant activities can be slowly collected."
Hearing Feng Ziying specifically mention himself, Wu Yaoqing also perked up. This was a good opportunity to establish an impression in front of this new owner.
"I know that you have some connections in Nanzhi and Shandong. Lunan is also where the White Lotus Sect is active. When I encountered a civil uprising in Linqing, the important promoter was the White Lotus Sect, and the main personnel were also from Lunan, so you have to
Using the relationship between Lunan and Xuzhou, I will follow the clues to connect the White Lotus Sect from Shandong to Beizhi. Remember, I am not asking you to do something right away, but to extend the clues through the original connections.
In the past, I wanted to have an understanding of the activities of the White Lotus Sect here in Beizhi, and finally let me decide where I will serve."
Wu Yaoqing understood it heartily.
He has long been dealing with low-level people in the world, including many from the White Lotus Sect.
Originally, they were just regarded as members of the Jianghu sect and did not pay much attention to them. Now it seems that we need to immediately renew these connections, and we have to follow the canal from Shandong to Beizhili. However, as long as we seize the White Lotus Sect,
The root thread is not difficult.
Most members of the White Lotus Sect are from poor families in the middle and lower classes. These rabble-rousers have almost no awareness of confidentiality, but the government has never paid much attention to it. It was only after the Linqing Civil War that they became slightly vigilant. However, many senior White Lotus Sect members and
Local officials are also involved, so it is difficult to eliminate them, but it is not difficult to figure out their activities.
"Yao Qing, it takes some effort to lay out clues from Shandong to Beizhili. You don't have to worry too much about money. The key is to lay out the human line..."
"Don't worry, sir. I still have some connections in Xuzhou and Jining, and I also know a few people who are related to the White Lotus Sect. It is not difficult to get in. The key is time. If it is to be laid in Beizhili next year,
It's a little tighter..." Wu Yaoqing said quickly.
"Well, let's do our best. It will be much easier to handle it when the situation here is settled next year. If you need anything here in Shandong, please let me know. The Feng family still has some useful connections in Shandong...
…”
Of course it is not simple. If you only need to understand the activities of the local White Lotus sect, it is not difficult. However, this is not Feng Ziying’s main purpose. If Feng Ziying wants to do something in office, he must make big moves to reach heaven, so he
You have to put enough thought into it.
"Wen Yan, let me help you open an account first at Haitong Bank. There are thirty thousand taels of silver there, and you can start doing many things slowly." Feng Ziying glanced at Wang Wenyan, "In addition, I am telling you
It's a matter of fact. Before my father went to Liaodong, he purchased a batch of firecrackers and signed a purchase agreement for a large number of firecrackers. They will be produced in Foshan. Please ask about this matter as well. My father's first visit there is the Governor's Mansion.
It’s still empty for the time being, so I will ask for some identities for you. For the time being, the staff of Jiliao Governor’s Mansion will be..."
This is equivalent to letting a few people hang on her father's subordinates, and Feng Ziying also knows that this is necessary.
Long Jinwei would not have known that Lin Ruhai and other staff, especially Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing, were going to the capital. If they were simply doing things for themselves, people would be suspicious of them. But if they were recruited by Governor Ji Liao, then they would be suspicious.
That makes sense.
With Wang Wenyan's arrangements in place, Feng Ziying felt much more at ease.
Wang Wenyan and the others had no problem with their abilities, and Lin Ruhai's original position was limited to salt affairs, so in a sense, their performance was limited.
Now I have not set any limits for them, I have only pointed out the goals for them, but I have allowed them to grow wildly and freely in terms of the scope of their methods.
Liaodong and Beizhi are already closely connected. In addition, Shandong is also an area affected by the Feng family's influence. The core area of Northland can basically operate smoothly, and it can also be used along the canal and Wang Wenyan.
Their original connections in Yangzhou and Nanzhili brought the Nanzhili area into the fold.
In particular, I can rely on my father's status and power in Liaodong to start business between Nanzhi and Liaodong. As a cover and support, I can also use this expertise to support what I want to do.
The plan is wonderful, but whether it can be realized depends on the ability of the people under his command, but Feng Ziying can trust Wang Wenyan and others.
After arranging all this, Feng Ziying has entered a leisurely mode compared to the busy life in the past few years.
He no longer interfered with the affairs of the Zhongshu Department. After Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng took over the matter, they worked harder than him. After all, this was very important for their destination after their term of office.
Even practicing state affairs returned to the Hanlin Academy, and An Xin became his editor.
Gao Panlong also attached great importance to Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi. From time to time, he would call them to give them advice. It was a combination of teaching and communication. The opening of the sea had a great impact on Jiangnan, but overall it was positive. This is naturally
If Gao Panlong is satisfied, Feng Ziying, the initiator, will also gain some favor.
After Qingwen recovered from her illness, she went to the Shen family. The news came back that Miss Shen's family treated her very well and everything was fine. Shen Yixiu was amazed and amazed by Qingwen's exquisite red embroidery skills. This was also a letter from Shen Yixiu.
As stated in.
That's right, thanks to the pretense of "If life is just like the first meeting, why is the autumn wind sad and painted on the fan", Shen Yixiu quickly transformed into a fan girl and started exchanging letters with Feng Ziying.
Probably thinking that his fiancé who could write such a poem was definitely a buried poetic talent, Shen Yixiu began to spare no effort to discover Feng Ziying, the "pearl" buried in the gravel. Most of his letters were about poetry, which made Feng Ziying feel dizzy.
Incomparable.
Unable to do so, the two sentences "It is easy to change the heart of an old friend, but it is said that the heart of an old friend is easy to change" can only be "freshly baked" to meet the needs of this obsessed sister. However, although these two sentences are stunning, they will inevitably cause confusion.
Feng Ziying was also aware of some unnecessary ambiguities, but that was all he could do, and the prevarication was temporary, as long as he could get over it first.
This also gave Qingwen more opportunities to travel back and forth between Shen Mansion and Feng Mansion. She could come to Feng Mansion to sit for a while from time to time. The pretty, lively, straightforward and hot Qingwen was back again.
