Gao Pingshi saw her looking like a curious baby and couldn't help but smile: "It's not that mysterious. It's not like I want to give Shogo three tips or anything like that."
"Oh..." Liu Xin gave a long response, then rolled her eyes, wrinkled her nose, and said: "Then I know, it must be related to some political struggle, so you don't want to say it clearly, so as not to worry about anything else.
If the matter is leaked in the future, you, the dignified Marquis of Nanning, will not be able to lose face, right?"
Gao Pragmatic laughed, but after laughing, he nodded seriously: "Yes."
Liu Xin leaned back in her chair and said lazily: "I thought I was a good and pure female college student who just graduated. But later on, I was a lady in the world, but I met some unkind people. When I met such a thick-hearted person like you,
You are a big black bureaucrat. Now, I am actually helping you convey these news of conspiracies and conspiracies. I feel like I am going to be a black man... It’s true!"
Gao pragmatic couldn't help but laughed again, but he laughed. He said at the same time: "Everything else you said is right, but there is one thing that is not quite right... This time the news cannot be simply classified as a conspiracy.
trick."
"Okay, okay, if you say no, then it's not. Who makes you the head of the family, right? Master?"
"Ahem." Gao Pingshi gave her a fake look and said, "If you keep talking like that, I'm going to make you have a good cosplay."
Liu Xin was startled, and subconsciously looked at the door, then glared back at Gao Pingshi and warned: "This is the office area of the Secretariat. Sister Zhiting often comes over at night recently, so don't mess around."
"I heard that women love to talk sarcastically..." Gao Pragmatic smiled mischievously, but before he finished laughing this time, Liu Xin jumped over and covered his mouth, saying viciously: "I'm a practicing practitioner...
…Do you understand what I mean?”
Gao Pragmatic didn't resist. He said "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slightly" as he didn't know what he was talking about. Liu Xin looked at it suspiciously and said, "What do you want to say?"
"woo woo woo woo……"
Liu Xin loosened her hands as if she was angry, stared at him, and said, "You can talk now."
"Ah..." Gao Pingshi breathed a sigh of relief, looked like he was thinking, and said slowly: "Looking at your behavior, I think you are saying that I can't mess around, and you have to do it yourself?"
Liu Xin looked at his lazy look and couldn't help but itched her teeth with hatred, but after all she was not a serious lady of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, her face suddenly changed, revealing a charming face, and she raised her red lips to her height.
In Qingshi's ear, he exhaled like a blue breath and said: "It's not possible here. If I want to play cosplay, I can only go to the slave's room at night..."
Without saying a word, Gao Pingshi reached out and slapped her buttocks hard, and said sternly: "Okay, it's settled!"
Liu Xin was so numbed by his patting that she stood up straight in a hurry. Before she could speak, she suddenly heard the door being lightly knocked twice, and a serious and cold voice asked with a hint of doubt:
"Master...what orders do you have?"
Liu Xin quickly swallowed the words that came to her lips, quickly sat down in her chair, and looked at Gao Pragmatic intently.
The corner of Gao Pingshi's mouth twitched slightly, and he replied seriously: "Nothing, please step back." The man outside immediately responded: "Yes, my boss." Then nothing more happened.
Gao Pingshi looked at Liu Xin, who was already sitting upright, and said helplessly: "Oh... it's disappointing." But this time Liu Xin just rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business first." Gao Pragmatic said with a lack of interest: "The first thing is that I will not personally lead the troops in this Western Expedition, so if there is no accident, I will be a civilian commander.
He could only choose one of the three governors and the governor of Gansu.
However, this afternoon I talked with several senior officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, and I believe that Li Wen, the governor of the three sides, needs to stay near Zhuanglang this time, and his task is mainly logistics dispatch. Therefore, in this way, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition may be the civil servant.
I have no choice but to leave it to Xu Sanwei."
Liu Xin also put away her previous charm at this time, rolled her eyes and said, "What's the problem with Xu Sanwei?"
"I can't say there is anything wrong, it's just..." Gao Pingshi frowned and said: "Actually, he has never been in charge of military affairs in a serious way, but he is quite good at internal affairs.
In the 27th year of Wanli Period, Zhao Zhigao recommended him to take over as governor of Gansu Province. The reason why I did not object at that time was also that Xu San was afraid of doing good in domestic affairs. I hoped that he could improve the local economy while he was in Gansu. You know, I also
I didn’t expect that troops would be deployed in the northwest within the next few years.”
"Recommended by Zhao Zhigao?" Liu Xin blinked: "Is this Xu Sanwei an official of the Xinxue School from Nantang?"
"Yes." Gao Pingshi nodded and said, "He is from Qiantang, Hangzhou, and his family can be considered a family of high officials."
"Oh, there's no need to talk about the rest." Liu Xin nodded and said, "He is from Qiantang and was recommended by Zhao Zhigao. If he wasn't a disciple of Xinxue, he would be a ghost."
Gao pragmatic said: "I emphasize two points. First, he has no experience in commanding the army. His greatest advantage since he became an official is that he has a clean and peaceful administration and does not mess around. Second, it is already his third year as governor of Gansu.
, generally speaking, it’s time to transfer... Of course, if you don’t transfer, you usually have to work for another three years.
As for his Xinxue background, to be honest, I don’t really care, especially the fact that he came from Zhao Zhigao’s recommendation... To a certain extent, if I let him be in charge of the military affairs of the Western Expedition, in the current situation in the DPRK
Being down isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
Liu Xin's attitude after hearing this was very simple - she didn't believe it at all. Perhaps the first reason Gao Pragmatic said made sense, but the second reason was more nonsense. As for Gao Pragmatic's verbal statement that he was not from the Xinxue School,
Influenced him to appoint Xu Sanwei... Whoever believes it is a fool.
The first reason Gao pragmatic said does have an impact on the appointment. Generally speaking, when appointing a commander for a large-scale military operation, one must take into account whether the person has military ability, but the problem is that this is the Ming Dynasty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! One of the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty's politics is to use civil society to control military affairs. Many of the military commanders and even the military commanders had no experience in commanding troops before they became ministers of the border areas. However,
However, many of them actually performed well or even performed well during their term of office. How can we say this? It can only be said that because the Ming Dynasty had such a tradition, its military organizational form had already developed an "adaptive response."
What does it mean? It probably means that because it has long been a habit to use civil servants to control military forces, military generals have already had a way to deal with civilian officials commanding troops.
For example, if the civil servants ask them to send troops somewhere, and they weigh it themselves and find that the battle can indeed be fought, then they will fight it seriously; if they find that the battle cannot be fought, they will try to find excuses.
Although I want to go, but the actual conditions are not met, I have to wait a little longer before sending out troops, or I can find some excuse to come back immediately after leading the troops to attack... In short, I will either resort to procrastination or go against the rules.
Generally speaking, only as a last resort will you be forced to fight the battle even though you know it is impossible to fight, so this unique "adaptive response" is formed.
Liu Xin didn't believe the second reason Gao Jingshi said at all. Liu Xin had been in Ming Dynasty almost as long as Gao Jingshi, although her understanding of history in her previous life was indeed not as good as Gao Jingshi's, and she didn't know much about politics.
She has little interest, but the living environment in this life, especially the high-level and pragmatic secretary-general in recent years, has greatly improved her understanding of politics and history.
As for the Ming Dynasty specifically, she also carefully studied a lot about systems, customs and other things. Although Liu Xin did not say anything about the place where Gao Pragmatic said "the governor of Gansu should be transferred after serving for three years", she was completely convinced in her heart.
It's scornful because it's simply not true.
Regarding the position of governor of Gansu, Liu Xin had studied it after Chahar fled to the west in the early years. First of all, let’s talk about the selection of candidates, because the governor of Gansu is not only the chief official of social and political governance in Gansu, but also the northwest defense officer.
As an important participant in the system, the selection of Gansu governors was jointly presided over by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This is exactly the reason why Gao Pragmatic mentioned before that he had "no objection" after Zhao Zhigao's recommendation - his "no objection" here is not only that he had no objection at the cabinet level as the cabinet minister, but also that a lot of weight lies in him.
The Minister of Revenue did not object.
Selecting an official to go to the local area to handle government affairs requires him to become familiar with how government affairs are carried out as soon as possible, so he must be selected from similar official positions.
Liu Xin has statistics compiled by the Secretariat and found that 79.52% of the governors of Gansu are appointed by the Chief Envoy and the Inspector-General. This is precisely because the power between the three of them is basically similar, so even if a temporary selection is made, the new person will
When traveling to Gansu, you can quickly enter and become familiar with the handling of government affairs.
Before Xu Sanwei became the governor of Gansu, his original position was the inspector-general of Shanxi. He served as the inspector-general of Shanxi from the 21st year of Wanli to the 26th year of Wanli. In the 27th year of Wanli, he was promoted to governor of Gansu.
[Note: Baidu Encyclopedia’s record of Xu Sanwei’s resume is very vague. In particular, there is no explanation of the year or position he held before becoming governor. There is also a sentence in it: “(Ren Gong Ke to Shi Zhong)… Later he was sent to other places and held various positions.
"According to inspection envoys and administrative envoys".
This article is very strange. I searched for information for several hours and found that there is no record of Xu Sanwei serving as chief envoy in the "Records of Shenzong". I don't know where this statement comes from. If any readers can shed some light on this
Explanation, welcome to leave comments and corrections.]
Talking about the issue of tenure, the governor system did not become a complete and formal social management system in the Ming Dynasty. However, with the increase of stability in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, these governors became high-ranking officials and dignitaries. However, as a feudal monarch
Officials under the system are sometimes appointed and dismissed with great arbitrariness.
For the governor of Gansu, the term of office for each term is not uniformly fixed. Some may last up to seven years, but some may be as short as less than one month.
There are various reasons why the governor's term of office is not fixed. Officials such as Ding You, impeachment, and death are the main reasons for the abnormal end of the term. Liu Xin once asked the Secretariat to sort out the resumes of dozens of previous Gansu governors who accepted their posts, and found that
Among these people, the shortest term is only five days.
For example, Liu Minkuan was impeached by Yang Yingwen less than five days after he took up the post of governor of Gansu because he failed to pass the examination. He was "recommended by the ministers for personal gain and extermination, and was vaguely elected." At that time, Yang Yingwen's memorial was mainly to expose Liu Minkuan as unqualified to serve as governor of Gansu.
Governor, and finally dismissed Liu Minkuan through the judgment of the court.
Among those who have served longer is Zhao Zai, who served as governor of Gansu for nearly seven years. In fact, in a region like Gansu, which is at the forefront of the war in the northwest, too frequent replacement of senior officials will be harmful to the governance of the northwest frontier. On the contrary, only the longer-term
Only by holding the position, the governor can have a detailed understanding of the specific situation of a place and formulate appropriate policy measures, thereby achieving good social governance effects.
Just as Zhang Yongming once said: "The ministers in each place must be appointed for a long time. Those who have worked hard for a long time and are promoted accordingly should be promoted to a higher rank and continue to manage affairs as usual. The place must be peaceful and the achievements must be successful before they are moved."
Some people expressed positive opinions, while others naturally raised objections. Long-term governorships in Gansu could easily lead to discord among local officials in the region. In order to stabilize the border, the emperor and the cabinet would often turn a blind eye.
But in general, a longer term of office is better than a shorter term. For example, Wang Fu also said: "The governor's appointment is to guard the border against captives, mobilize troops to fight against thieves, provide pay and relief to the hungry, and appease the soldiers and the people.
Important tasks. If there is a change every three years, the pros and cons of one party will not be known clearly, and everything that is done will be careless and will not be a long-term solution."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The secretariat found through literature review that since the governor was first established during the Tianshun period, the governor's term at that time was more arbitrary, and the governor's tenure in this period was longer.
short.
Fortunately, the Secretariat can only find existing documents. Otherwise, if Liu Xin breaks the casserole and asks Gao Pragmatically, he will find that in fact, from the perspective of later generations, the average tenure of governors in Gansu is the longest.
It was the Wanli Dynasty, especially Xu Sanwei and Zhou Pan whose terms lasted seven years.
Of course, there is something unusual about this. However, the fact that they have served for a particularly long time is not because they performed particularly well as governors of Gansu and were very suitable for this position, but because Zhu Yijun in the original history was due to the country's origins.
Strive to engage in a cold war with the civil service group and pay no attention to the appointment and removal of officials.
Therefore, at that time, as long as officials in a certain place did not cause any big problems, Zhu Yijun often ignored them and allowed them to continue working until someone impeached them, or they took the initiative to resign... or even resigned repeatedly.
Of course, although Liu Xin knew these situations, since Gao Pragmatic refused to admit it, she would not point it out in a daze. She just asked smartly: "Since Xu Sanwei is not suitable for leading troops in the Western Expedition, then find an opportunity."
The transfer has been completed, but...it seems that it is not easy to just use the three-year term as an example? Do you have other ideas?"
Gao pragmatic sighed and said: "You are right. Soldiers are a major issue for the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. It is just that Xu Sanwei has done a pretty good job in Gansu in the past three years. He must do a good job for the country.
It doesn't seem very kind to specifically find trouble with him, so what I mean is... I have to let Shogo think of a solution."
"Oh..." Liu Xin suddenly realized that you had been waiting for my brother here for a long time?
