Although Yang Wucheng's marriage was settled, it was impossible to get married immediately, because Meng Honggong was also the chief envoy of Shandong after all. Marrying a daughter was not easy. There were a lot of procedures that had to be completed, so the next day
, Meng Honggong just exchanged birthdates with Yang Wucheng, which officially confirmed the marriage, and then left Mulingguan and went to Dengzhou to take office. The time for getting married can only be found later. As for Han Zhi and Xiao Wenjun
They all said goodbye to Shang Yi and went to Qingzhou and Jinan respectively to take office.
After they left, under the auspices of Shang Yi, Zhou Shiqi, Tang Zhen and others, Zhou Shaohuan and Tang Juan also held a wedding, and then Shang Yi also officially accepted Chen Yuanyuan as his concubine. Two consecutive happy events also made the entire Guancheng
Together with Linyuan and Yishui counties, they celebrated lively for several days.
After the happy event was completed, May of the 16th year of Chongzhen (1643) also ended with the Sutra and entered June.
On the third day of June, Shang Yi received another official document from the imperial court, as well as a letter from Wu Di, urging him to send troops south to quell the invaders as soon as possible. It turned out that Wu Di had passed the war on May 20th.
On the 4th, he officially left Beijing and went south to supervise the division. Chongzhen also formally appointed the minister of war in Wuyang, the division commander, and the general commander of Yingtian, Henan, Fengyang, Huguang, Sichuan, Nanzhili and other places, and granted Shang Fangfang.
Sword. Accompanying Wu Zong out of the capital were Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief, two troops from Ma Ke, and ten thousand troops from the capital camp, for a total of thirty thousand horses.
Originally, Chongzhen finally agreed and sent Tang Tong and Zhou Yuji to go south with Wu Zong, a total of 60,000 troops. But just after Wu Zong left, Chen Yan, who had just been promoted to the chief minister of the cabinet, proposed to Chongzhen that Tang Tong
, Zhou Yuji was shouldering the important task of guarding the capital and could not be transferred easily. He suggested that it be better to transfer him back. Chongzhen also felt deeply about it and agreed to do it immediately.
At this time, Wu Yi had just arrived at Zhuozhou after sending out his scriptures from the capital. When an imperial edict came down, he realized that Tang Tong and Zhou Yuji had all stopped mobilizing their troops and cut off half of their own troops at once.
Of course Wu Di knew that he could not turn back at this time. He could only knock out his front teeth and swallow it, holding back his anger secretly. Moreover, he could only hope that Shang Yi would send troops soon, and at the same time he wrote to the court, requesting the emperor to issue an edict.
, urging Shang Yi to send troops as soon as possible, and he personally wrote a letter and sent it to Qingzhou, using reason and emotion, just to urge Shang Yi to send troops as soon as possible.
After Shang Yi read the official document and letter, he sneered, crumpled it into a ball of paper, and threw it into the waste paper.
When Ye Yaoqi saw it, he couldn't help but joked: "This is an official document from the imperial court, and there is also a seal from the governor. Just throw it away like waste paper. Isn't it so difficult that you are not afraid of reporting it to the imperial court?"
Shang Yi snorted and said: "Even if the imperial court knew about it, what would happen? Can they put me in jail in Dali Temple again? Now I can't help the imperial court. I've been pushed into a panic. I
Do you want to carry a gun and go up the mountain to become a bandit? Or start a rebellion and see what the court can do to me?"
Ye Yaoyao covered her mouth and smiled and said: "You are such a bastard, you really look like a bandit. Maybe if you go out like this, some people will really treat you as a bandit."
Shang Yi said: "Really?" He deliberately pretended to be vicious, pinched Ye Yaoyao's cheek, and imitated the image of bandits in later movies and TV dramas, and said: "This little girl looks so good.
That’s right, I’ll take her back and be her wife.”
Ye Yaoyao couldn't hold it back. She just laughed so much that she lay on the table, showing off her tricks and trembling all over. At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan also came in. After seeing her, she couldn't help but said: "What is so funny? Look, Madam I can’t hold it any longer.”
Ye Yaoyao laughed and gasped: "Yuanyuan, come on, my husband is learning how to be a bandit? Maybe you will also be the wife of a villager for a few days in the future?"
At this time, Shang Yi grabbed Chen Yuanyuan again, let out a ferocious laugh, and said: "Haha, I caught another one. It seems that the owner of this village is very lucky! I will have fun tonight."
Chen Yuanyuan was startled for a moment, then immediately pretended to be frightened, and said timidly: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I made a promise to you with my sutra, please save my Majesty and spare my life."
Now even Shang Yi couldn't help it anymore, let go of Chen Yuanyuan and burst out laughing.
After the three of them chatted and laughed for a while, Shang Yi said: "It's not that I don't want to send troops, it's just that there are still many things that are not ready. To send troops hastily will only lead to self-destruction, so don't worry about him and wait for your own affairs." Let’s talk about it after it’s done.”
In fact, the preparations for dispatching troops are almost complete now. There is absolutely no problem in dispatching at least two main regiments. But more importantly, there are still many things in Guancheng that have not been straightened out. Although the administrative agencies have been established, However, the internal preparation, preparation and trial operation of each department will still take a certain amount of time, so it is far from being on the right track.
Moreover, Shang Yi's time and energy were limited. First, he naturally devoted all his efforts to the preparation and establishment of the four divisions under the United Front Work Department. Up to now, all four divisions of the United Front Work Department have been completed and have started to operate independently. Shang Yi then transferred his energy to the Administration Department. The basic teams of the six departments under the Administration Department were all established based on economics. Among them, the Civil Affairs Department, Finance Department, and Engineering Construction Department already had them, and the personnel were basically ready-made. Yes, Shang Yi is more assured than Zhe. Although the Farmland Department is also very important, its current responsibilities are relatively simple, so it was quickly prepared. Shang Yi is most concerned about the two departments: the Education Department and the Inspection Department. .
The Department of Education is responsible for the important task of nurturing reserve talents, which cannot be underestimated. According to Shang Yi's request, boys and girls aged above eight and below seventeen, regardless of gender, can go to school to learn reading, literacy and mathematics for free. Now There are nearly 4,000 teenagers enrolled in school, and only a few of them are female students, less than 100. At the same time, Shang Yi also considered that in ancient Chinese rural families, children were actually a labor force in the family, so the study time was only set for Half a day, and the other half you can do some things at home.
Of course, Shang Yi did not intend to raise these young people to be nerds who could only read the Four Books and Five Classics and take the imperial examinations. However, he could not ignore traditional Chinese knowledge, so he divided the learning content into two parts. Traditional Chinese Education and Western scientific knowledge. Traditional Chinese education naturally consists of the Four Books and Five Classics, and also adds some other classics, such as [Historical Records] and [Zizhi Tongjian]. For the time being, Western scientific knowledge only has mathematics and physics courses, and others such as geographical history. , astronomy is not considered for the time being, and the missionaries will come up with a preliminary teaching plan.
Now there are more than twenty scholars teaching in the school, and two more are candidates. There is no shortage of manpower in traditional Chinese education, but Western scientific knowledge can only rely on missionaries.
Chen Wenyi, who was appointed as the head of the Department of Education, was a scholar by profession, and he was an out-and-out traditional Confucian scholar. He was very disgusted with the Western-style mathematics, physics and other teachings that Shang Yi admired. However, this person was not a stubborn person, and he was not the kind of person who adhered to morality.
Spirit, as the head of the Education Department, you can get a monthly salary of eighteen taels, which is higher than what the court gives. Although there is no outside money to make money, it is enough. In these turbulent years,
, go there to find this auspicious job, so that if Shang Yi asks students to learn, just go and learn it. Anyway, he is not teaching it himself, it is all the monks who are responsible. Therefore, although Chen Wenyi slandered in his heart, on the surface he
I don't mean to object at all.
At the same time, Shang Yi divides the teenagers enrolled into three age groups: junior students aged 8 to 11, intermediate students aged 11 to 14, and senior students aged 14 to 17. For students of each age group, there are
The learning content is also different. Junior students and intermediate students both start from the most basic knowledge, step by step, and gradually improve. Intermediate students start to join some military education, while advanced students only learn literacy and basic mathematics.
You must also participate in certain military training so that you can join the army after you reach the age of 18. For other professional needs, you will be provided with professional knowledge training.
Of course, at present, Shang Yi only has this school, which teaches everything and is all mixed together. In the future, Shang Yi is also considering setting up a professional military school to train military talents.
The Inspection Department is the department responsible for maintaining local public security. According to Shang Yi's idea, 360 inspection soldiers were selected from the local militia and divided into 12 teams of 30 people, with each team having a captain.
One, Linqu County and Qingshui County each have five inspection teams, and Mulingguan only uses two. Because military control was basically implemented in the area under Shang Yi's jurisdiction, local security was basically guaranteed by the military garrison. The Inspection Department's
The mission is only to solve problems such as fights, petty thefts, and scattered thieves among the people. Therefore, only these three hundred people are enough.
Shang Yi is not worried about anything else. He is just afraid that after he leaves Mulingguan, Wang Zhongping, the head of the Inspection Department, will take this opportunity to benefit from the public good for personal gain and destroy the reputation and people-friendly image of his group that he had built up with great difficulty in the past.
It seems to have been destroyed. Because Wang Zhongping used to be an inspection officer in Yishui County, and he may have done a lot of this kind of things. Shang Yi was most worried about the people in the original government, but he could not find a suitable candidate for the time being.
After all, he has done inspections before and still has some experience, so he can only make do with it for now.
Therefore, Shang Yi institutionally limits the power of the Inspection Department, stipulating that the Inspection Department only has the power to arrest, but not to judge. Once a suspect is caught, he will be handed over to the Administrative Department for interrogation and judgment, which means arrest.
, an arrest warrant must be obtained from the Administrative Division in order to carry out the arrest task. It is absolutely prohibited to arrest people without orders, and it is also prohibited for the Inspection Department to use criminal law without permission. The judicial power, civil arbitration power, and judgment power all belong to the Administrative Division.
Guan, Shang Yi is still assured of Zhou Shiqi's character and abilities.
At the same time, Shang Yi asked Ye Yaoqi to closely monitor Wang Zhongping. Once he found any inappropriate behavior, he would immediately stop it and replace him.
The establishment of these two departments was completed in this way, and the last thing left for Shang Yi was whether the scale of Mulingguan and the city wall reconstruction project should be continued.
