Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle...well, you don't have to be angry. I need to see my mother and concubine immediately. My mother and concubine must be very worried about me now."
Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "You go ahead, I won't go. Thinking that the nephew I have carefully cultivated is such a person, I really don't have the guts to see my sister."
Zhu Zhanji: "..."
Seeing Zhang Anshi acting like this, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to say: "Uncle, I won't dare to do it next time."
"Hey... don't talk about it, it's hard to make a broken mirror..." After Zhang Anshi said this, he cheered up and said: "By the way, now... in view of your contribution, so... this time, I'm afraid...
I would like to ask you to be the magistrate of Hezhou."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned and said: "Me?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Of course it's you."
"Why Hezhou... This Hezhou has a small land and poor people..." Zhu Zhanji frowned.
Zhang Anshi said: "Hezhou is separated from Taiping Mansion and Yingtian Mansion by a line, and it is only a few steps away from the capital. This place... is indeed far inferior to Taiping Mansion and Yingtian Mansion, but because of this, it is
There is a place for you."
Zhu Zhanji frowned and said: "But I have never held such a position. I usually work as a deputy..."
Zhang Anshi sighed: "You are never heartless. Only uncle has always cared about your growth. It is precisely because you are a deputy or an assistant officer on weekdays, so this time, I want you to try it in Hezhou."
After all, the state is in Zhili, and the New Deal has long been enacted. All you have to do is to follow the rules and regulations. This way you don't have to worry about causing trouble, and you can sharpen yourself."
Zhu Zhanji could only nod.
Zhang Anshi said again: "But..."
"Nothing but what?" Although Zhu Zhanji was a little hesitant, deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but look forward to it. Although he was a young man, he also wanted to try what it was like to be the official of one of his parents.
Zhang Anshi clasped his hands behind his back, pretending to be an elder, and said, "But I'm a little worried now. In the past, we only implemented the New Deal in Zhili. Although we were a little bit dirty with some people, after all, we still stayed on the same page.
But it is different now. Now we have Henan and Guanzhong. At this time... anyone with a discerning eye can see that Taiping Prefecture yesterday, Zhili yesterday, Henan and Guanzhong today, sooner or later, this new policy will be implemented throughout the world. In addition,
, Your Majesty’s execution of the gentry in Henan and other places has made people frightened. Next... I am very worried that some troubles will arise if someone is unwilling to do so."
"If they still dare to rebel..." Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "I will kill as many as there are."
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "The strength of these people is not to rebel. Their strength is to defy the situation or fan the flames. If they are willing to rebel, it will be a good thing. I am afraid they will use other methods. In short, you let this Taiping Prefecture Yin,
If you have any questions, please come to my uncle and ask for advice. Although I dare not say that I have any extraordinary talents, I am still a little smarter than Guan Zhong. Alas, it is a pity that my uncle treats you like this. You..."
"I know, I know." Zhu Zhanji said excitedly: "Uncle, I'm going to see my mother and concubine."
"Let's go, let's go, I don't want to see you now." Zhang Anshi waved his hand.
Zhu Zhanji looked a little reluctant and said: "Uncle..."
"Anything else to say?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "When I was in Guanzhong, on the thin line between life and death, actually...actually...I still thought about the emperor's grandfather, father, mother, concubine, and uncle in my heart."
Zhang Anshi said: "I hope you really have a conscience. Think more about the good things your uncle has done to you, think about the popsicles that your uncle made for you, and think about the times when your mother and concubine were angry when they hit you.
It’s all uncle who secretly said good things to you.”
Zhu Zhanji: "..."
Finally I said goodbye to my nephew.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh.
But I thought I had more important things to do.
On the next day, the decree was issued and Zhang Anshi was appointed as the governor.
As soon as the news came out, Qixia was filled with excitement.
Those who come to congratulate me are like crucian carps crossing the river.
But at this time, the most difficult thing is Zhang Anshi!
The two chief envoys need to appoint a large number of officials, and it can be said that they are racking their brains to arrange what kind of people they want.
After thinking about it, there are indeed many people who can be used at the moment, but after all, it is a land of two provinces, and there is really no way. I am afraid that this year's civil service examination will have to expand the number of people.
At least 10,000 people must be recruited to fill the next vacancies.
But for the former Zhili officials, it was almost a feast.
Think about it, with so many vacancies, I'm afraid that in the near future, almost everyone will be able to be promoted to one level, or even two levels in some special circumstances.
You must know that in a normal official career, if you want to advance to the next level, it takes a lot of effort, not to mention how many opportunities are required.
But in Taiping Mansion, not only many civil servants have become officials, but now their official career is actually prosperous.
This kind of life experience is unimaginable.
Therefore, the entire Taiping Mansion was immersed in excitement.
On the other hand, the Qing officials were in trouble.
They are constantly selecting officials' merit examination books and past offices, hoping to select a large number of people to fill the vacancies one by one.
Zhang Anshi also drew up a charter and submitted it to the palace.
Zhu Di received Zhang Anshi's charter and read it carefully for several hours. Zhang Anshi's charter can be roughly divided into several categories.
One, of course, is the construction of railways.
The second was the appointment and dismissal of officials. He even requested that all officials in Guanzhong and Henan be dismissed and replaced with officials from Taiping Prefecture.
This approach does seem a bit drastic, but it is of great help to the New Deal. If the original officials are still retained, there may be future troubles.
Of course, for officials, it is natural to expel them, but for civil servants from various places, Zhang Anshi adopted another method, which was to temporarily retain them to see the results. Let them work in each yamen for one and a half years.
After another assessment, if he is available, he will be promoted to a regular official; if he is unqualified, he will be dismissed directly.
The third step is to use the New Deal method to start measuring and distributing land. This is related to the overall stability of Henan and Guanzhong. It is impossible for the people to receive relief forever and distribute their land so that they can have their own livelihood after the disaster.
Industry.
The land in Guanzhong and Henan is flat, and the land can barely be called fertile. According to rough statistics, Guanzhong and Henan now have a population of more than three million households, and this place itself has a lot of arable land. Zhang Anshi estimates that every year
Each household can get more than fifty acres, which is enough for people to make a living. In addition, with some agricultural tools and grain seeds, people's hearts will be stable.
In addition, measures such as cracking down on thieves, building roads, and reservoir irrigation are included.
These are all details. With the fields and roads open, it can not only solve the food problem for the court, but also ensure that there will be no starvation. Then, it can attract some industrial and commercial initiatives and encourage some merchants in Taiping Prefecture to go to Guanzhong.
Invest in Henan and other places.
These measures are actually similar to those in Taiping Mansion, but it is not easy to implement them in such a large place.
Zhu Di read it several times.
Then he took another memorial, which was sent by Zhang Anshi together with Zhang Zheng.
He opened it slowly, and immediately saw Zhang Anshi's suggestion to recommend Zhu Zhanji as the magistrate of Hezhou.
When Zhu Di saw this, he couldn't help but smile, and then looked at Yishiha on the side and said: "My grandson... seems to be able to take charge of his own business."
Yi Shiha didn't know what was going on, and said: "Your Majesty... the holy grandson is talented and intelligent..."
Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Zhang Qing hopes to make Zhan Ji the governor of Hezhou. What do you think?"
Yi Shiha was shocked, and then couldn't help but admire Zhang Anshilai.
This time, the appointment of Zhang Anshi as the governor was unprecedented. Even the Yuan Dynasty, which had such a muddle-headed rule, was almost blind in its efforts to give people high positions and confer great military and political power on people. They never granted people Zhili at once.
, controlled by the governors of Henan and Shaanxi.
Therefore, this requires a lot of determination from Your Majesty.
Who would have thought that Zhang Anshi, a young man, would be a good person and would hand over Hezhou to the emperor's grandson to govern.
No wonder Zhang Anshi was able to gain such trust. He couldn't help but sigh that it would be a pity that Zhang Anshi would not become an eunuch.
Yi Shiha shook his head inwardly, but said happily: "I dare not think anything of it, but I think this will be of great benefit to the emperor and grandson."
Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yes, it can not only sharpen Zhanji, but also help Zhanji gain popularity. Zhang Qing is really worried about his nephew."
Yishi Hagan said with a smile: "I heard from people outside the palace that there is a saying among the people that the uncle is as big as the sky and the nephew sits on top..."
Zhu Di became interested and asked curiously: "What does this mean?"
However, Yi Shiha said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, the slaves don't understand much either. Just listen to what they say casually."
Zhu Di seemed to be in a good mood and was not offended by Yi Shiha. He only said: "I feel more and more that this boy Zhang Anshi is really wise and almost demonic. In comparison, he is even smarter than Master Yao!"
Having said this, the expression on Zhu Di's face unconsciously showed a bit of loneliness.
After Yao Guangxiao passed away, Zhu Di missed Yao Guangxiao very much. The importance of Yao Guangxiao in Zhu Di's mind was naturally very important. This is evident from Zhu Di's evaluation of Zhang Anshi.
After thinking about it, Zhu Di stood up, walked back and forth for a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then said: "I think this decree is approved. Also... the prince is in Henan, so there is no need to come back in a hurry. I heard that he is in Henan on errands."
He's not bad, he has a bit of my atmosphere, so let him stay for some time and observe the public sentiment."
Yishuha hurriedly said: "My servant obeys the order."
Zhu Di immediately stood up with interest and said: "Hezhou...come...get the map. I'll take a good look at it."
Yi Shiha was naturally busy.
Soon, the map of Zhili was delivered to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di's eyes soon fell on Hezhou between Yingtian Mansion and Taiping Mansion.
Immediately, I heard him talking to himself: "Hezhou is not a big place. Although it is called a state, it is just a county. The population is not large, only tens of thousands of households... This place... is a place to look at.
It’s not bad to give it a try. This place is only a day and a half away from the capital... Well..."
…………
In Taiping Mansion, a large number of people began to move.
Today, he is still a first-class official. When he turned around, he was summoned by the Cleaning Bureau to talk. Then, he packed his things and prepared to go to a certain county to serve as county magistrate.
Therefore, now here in Qixia, people set off firecrackers every now and then.
Zhang Anshi then ordered people to start recruiting civil servants and began to select personnel from graduates of various universities.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji was already a new official. Fortunately, he served in many places, so he immediately realized the benefits of Zhang Anshi letting him serve in various places.
Although he may not be proficient in almost everything reported, he can probably know some details, and there is almost no way to hide the things reported by the officials below from him.
After all, this grandson of the emperor has done this before, and you still want to fool him?
But soon, Zhu Zhanji began to become vigilant.
Then, Zhu Zhanji anxiously found Zhang Anshi.
At this time, Zhang Anshi was talking with officials who were about to take office, so there were many people waiting in the reception room.
Zhu Zhanji actually did not rush in, but went to another reception room to wait quietly. He did not enter Zhang Anshi's room until Zhang Anshi finished talking to others.
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Zhanji with a smile, picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and then said calmly: "How is it? How does it feel to be a new official?"
"Uncle..." Zhu Zhanji had a very serious expression on his face, and he answered the question completely: "Have you heard the news?"
Zhang Anshi said: "What news?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Now the hearts of all provinces are floating..."
Zhang Anshi said oh and seemed relatively calm.
"Let it float..."
Zhu Zhanji admired his uncle a little, so he said: "Everyone said that sooner or later, other places will be like Guanzhong in Henan. By then... people will have to be killed and their heads will be left. There are still people who go around and spread rumors to deceive the public...
…”
When Zhang Anshi heard this, he suddenly cheered up and raised his eyebrows: "Really? Damn it, I haven't had time to read Jin Yiwei's briefing these days. I'm just too busy."
Zhu Zhanji sighed and said: "I also heard what the civil servants below said. The current fluctuations in people's hearts in various provinces are all because of the Governor's Mansion. They all say that... there will be unrest..."
Zhang Anshi squinted his eyes, as if he had been thinking seriously for a while, and then he opened and closed his lips and said, "Is it the news from the gentry from all over the world?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded slightly and said: "Looking at the statue, I'm afraid he wants to take this opportunity to put pressure on the imperial court."
Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "Pressure?"
Zhang Anshi whispered these two words and lowered his head slightly, as if he was deep in thought again.
Zhu Zhanji continued: "People's hearts are floating, and a big change is imminent. The imperial court must do some appeasement no matter what. After all... we can't just kill a river of blood in Henan and Guanzhong, and then go on a killing spree in other provinces."
.”
Zhang Anshi said casually: "There are many people in the capital saying this?"
"Of course, I'm afraid that among the officials in the court, some people are secretly adding fuel to the flames." Zhu Zhanji stared closely at Zhang Anshi's face and said, "Uncle, you have to be careful and don't underestimate these prophecies.
.My uncle has read too little classics and history, but he doesn’t know that many prophecies will come true through the dynasties.”
Zhang Anshi unconsciously took a deep look at Zhu Zhanji. He was very impressed by this nephew.
The so-called prophecy will come true, but it is actually just some kind of psychological suggestion, such as the stone man's one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel.
This was a kind of prophecy, and it was obviously spread deliberately by someone with intentions. Then, the stone man was dug up, and in the end the world turned upside down.
The reason why many prophecies can come true is because of the arrangements and arrangements of thoughtful people.
It may be for some special purpose, or it may be to put pressure on the court.
Anyway, if you don't listen, the world will be in chaos. It's up to you to figure it out.
After Zhang Anshi heard this, he frowned and lowered his head to think, but his face was uncertain.
Zhu Zhanji on the side said again: "Uncle... If my guess is correct, then I am afraid that hundreds of officials will use these prophecies... to start targeting the Governor's Mansion. This Taiping Mansion is afraid
It’s also not peaceful…”
"Really?" Zhang Anshi suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Zhanji, and said slowly: "Tell me, who is behind this?"
Zhang Anshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flashed, as if they were bursting with sharp light.
Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "How do I know... In short, we can't teach them to succeed..."
Zhang Anshi still held his chin up and began to think, murmuring: "Don't say anything, let me think about it..."
Zhu Zhanji: "..."
Zhang Anshi was silent for a long time. Suddenly, a big smile appeared on his lips. He clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Haha... I was really dozed off and someone brought me a pillow. It's really great."
"Uncle...what's wrong..." Zhu Zhanji was stunned. He looked at Zhang Anshi's unreasonable reaction and was a little confused for a moment.
Zhang Anshi took a deep look at Zhu Zhanji, and said in a serious tone: "Zhanji, I need to teach you a truth, that is... people must follow the trend, and next... we will soon
It’s about to get better.”
Zhu Zhanji: "..."
Zhang Anshi continued: "These prophecies... are too good to be true. We don't need to pay attention to them. But next, your Taiping Mansion has a lot of things to do. If this thing can be done well, we can build another Taiping Mansion...
"
Taiping Mansion is already a miracle.
For Zhu Zhanji, he could not imagine that such a place could reach such an extent in just ten years.
Building another Taiping Mansion... This... Zhu Zhanji simply couldn't imagine it.
So Zhu Zhanji was surprised and said: "Taiping Mansion? How to rebuild it?"
Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said: "You are really ignorant. Of course you want to build another Taiping Mansion in Hezhou! You and I, my uncle and nephew, are going to open up a new situation."
"Hezhou...has become the second Taiping Mansion..." Zhu Zhanji was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Compared with Taiping Prefecture, Hezhou is simply a place in the sky and an underground place. Although it is only a thin line apart, it is not comparable to Taiping Prefecture. It is incomparable to any state capital in Zhili.
