This is Guo Ning's routine when he first arrived in Laizhou. He also used it in Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefecture, and now it has been extended to many military prefectures on Shandong East Road.
From what Guo Ning has seen in his life, no matter whether it is Monan, Hebei or Shandong, no matter what kind of wars and devastation they have suffered, the power of the local wealthy people will always remain, and through chaos, it will expand more and more, and even become entrenched and unstoppable. Eliminate. Especially in this area of Shandong, for more than ten years there have been corrupt officials, fierce An Mou Ke, green forest thieves, and rebel heroes, which have long ago turned the place into a mess.
To be honest, most of the powerful people who can gain a foothold in this messy situation are cunning and cunning. They all either have the idea of having two sides, or they are fond of chaos and misfortune, fearing that the world will not be chaotic. After eradicating Li Quan, there are still There are hundreds of Li Quan who are ready to make a move.
How can that work?
Other Jurchen officials here have their own set of methods of suppression, compromise, and cooperation. In the final analysis, as long as the Han people are suppressed to the lowest level, they can always squeeze out oil to support the nobles.
Guo Ning has no such interest.
In his territory of the three states of Denglai, there are certainly manor owners or wealthy people, but those people are definitely in the minority. Moreover, facing the military household system that integrates the navy, military and civilians, they have no power at all, let alone Needless to say, it has an impact on the local area.
As for the wealthy people in many military states on Shandong East Road, if they can recognize their faces, they will have a way to survive. But if they don't, there will already be soldiers sharpening their knives to kill pigs and sheep.
Guo Ning remembers that a great sage once said: "We are a blank sheet of paper, just perfect for writing."
So he never bothered to pay attention to the intricate relationships in the local area. He just wanted to turn it into a blank piece of paper.
Using simple means to face complex local situations is exactly what Dinghai Navy is good at. Is it fake that so many officers come from humble backgrounds and associate with grassroots bandits? Once you have learned many means, you have to use them from time to time. To avoid being unfamiliar.
The fields and materials squeezed out of these goods can replenish the navy, allowing the army to quickly enter the next wave of great expansion.
However, compared with the three states of Denglai, there are areas on Shandong East Road that require special attention.
At this time, the cavalry team rested in a post building, and it was very lively with people shouting and neighing.
Guo Ning got off his horse and walked to the courtyard of the post station. As he walked, he asked: "Where are the officials in Dizhou and Binzhou?"
"It is being dealt with... Anyone who commits bad deeds will be severely punished. Mr. Jin Qing has been mobilizing people one after another to take over various positions. If there is anyone who does not cooperate in the process, he will not be able to get away with it."
It turns out that in the local system of Daijin, the highest status of officials who were also in charge of military and political affairs was to stay in the capitals, to be in charge of the troops and horses of various prefectures, to the Jiedu of each town, and to be the governor of each state. After that, they were the commander-in-chief of the army and the commander-in-chief of the capital. The envoy is responsible for military affairs, the envoy is responsible for finance and economics, and the envoy is responsible for reviewing criminal cases and supervising officials.
These three road-level officials can only make requests for relevant lines to the general manager and Jiedu below, rather than being their direct superiors. As for Guo Ning's role as a propaganda envoy, it is also average.
The only official authority that truly belonged to the Xuanfu envoy was Anjili Shu. Other important military and political powers were temporarily granted due to the invasion of the Mongolian army.
The imperial court can take back the temporarily granted authority at any time, but the power of the governors, defense envoys and governors in various places is permanent.
Therefore, before sending troops, Yi Ai Chu Cai asserted that after Guo Ning took control of Shandong, the imperial court would immediately send officials to various places in Shandong to weaken Guo Ning's control of Shandong. If not, the imperial court would recognize the various places as proclaimed governors.
If it becomes a separatist regime, it will immediately fall apart and the country will no longer be a country.
Guo Ning doesn't care at all whether Daikin is a country or not. He has obviously won the territory of Shandong East Road with his strength, but he still has to leave a hole for the imperial court to intervene. It is really a pity.
However, since he still carries the name of Xuanfu Envoy, he may not necessarily fight with the imperial court on this. If the ship to Dengzhou capsizes a few more times, everyone will be completely at odds, and it will be in vain to trigger a court.
Even if Xu Ding mediates the changes in the situation, it cannot be eliminated.
Guo Ning's memorial recommending the military and political officials of Shandong East Road was of course approaching Zhongdu at this time. No matter how uncomfortable the emperor was, he had to hold his nose and agree to part of it. In exchange, he was favored by the emperor and was given important responsibilities in Shandong Province.
The trusted officials would always arrive one after another.
Just come, Guo Ning already has a way to deal with it.
We only need to take advantage of the opportunity of mobilizing troops to clean up a group of subordinate officials in the local area. All those who deserve to be killed will be punished with canonical punishment, and all the vacant positions will be replaced with officials that Guo Ning is familiar with in Denglai and Denglai Prefectures.
, or scholars educated by their own families.
It is easy for local officials to land in the air, but it is impossible to put their feet on the ground. They can pretend to give orders in their own government offices and assume the posture of being in charge of government, but the officials at the top and bottom only recognize Guo Ning, and there is nothing they can do
It's very limited.
These matters were not within Xu Jin's jurisdiction, so Xu Jin immediately brought out the materials that had been stolen from Chu.
Guo Ning has always been at ease with the government affairs methods that diverted Chu talents. This is a talent that is almost given by heaven, and you can't accept it.
Starting from the beginning of this year, as the income from trade flourished, Chucai had a little more disposable financial resources, so he allocated money to invite professors and resume education in schools. On the one hand, he gradually recruited scholars, and on the other hand, he also
Schools train officials who can do practical things.
After more than half a year, more than a hundred scholars have gathered to study knowledge in several schools in the three prefectures of Denglai, and the number of officials who have undergone simple training has doubled. These people all have clean and reliable backgrounds.
Now that Guo Ningkuo has taken over Shandong, these scholars and officials will naturally have the opportunity to serve. Even if they can't become state and county governors, they should start from serving as assistant officials, administrative officers, and supervisors in various places. Above them are Shandong officials.
If the Xuanfu envoy takes care of it, then it can be said that the future is bright.
However, Yi La Chucai was born into a noble family and was a serious Confucian scholar. He was unavoidable in dealing with matters in a strict and particular manner. Unlike Xu Jin's side, who used both black and white methods and had no scruples.
So Guo Ning said: "You should also keep an eye on it. In short, be quick."
Xu Jin bowed and said: "I obey."
"The salt bureaus in Binzhou and Yidu also need to be cleaned up. Then there are many major things to be done. All the financial resources in Shandong must be firmly in our hands."
"this……"
"What? Are you in trouble?"
"Jie Shuai, Yidu is easy to handle. But over in Binzhou, the salt department has been infiltrated by Yin Chang for a long time. The people who eat on this line are more or less related to Yin Chang. Defeating Li Quan this time,
We rely a lot on Yin Chang's help, and now when we are about to pay off our merits, if something goes wrong, the outside world may misunderstand Commander-in-Chief."
This situation made Guo Ning frown. The territory is so large that no matter how drastic and drastic measures are taken, there will always be some concerns. However, if the rules are not set down early in some places, it may lead to unforeseen consequences and endless troubles.
Then he patted his forehead and said with a smile: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost ignored it."
The two of them sat down in the courtyard of the inn, chatted for a few words, and drank two cups of tea.
Guo Ning suddenly said: "If Yin Chang has meritorious service, he will naturally be rewarded, and he will be rewarded generously. However, Binzhou cannot be regarded as his forbidden concubine... I'd better let Zhang Rong go. You will also be rewarded here.
