Number of People

  Chapter 2168 Guizi scrolls to discuss, weigh

  Feng Ziying's words made the three of them a little nervous and uneasy, which meant that the governor in front of him was not very satisfied with the current work of the procuratorate.

One of the important responsibilities of the governor comes from his status as the capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is his duty to supervise the work of the Procuratorate, which is more direct than the chief envoy and the procuratorate. Therefore, adding the titles of Youqiandu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Youshilang of the Ministry of War is actually to strengthen the power and responsibility of the governor.

After pondering for a while, Xiong Jianqiu said slowly: "What the governor said is very true. The chaos in northern Shaanxi actually has a lot to do with these officials' dereliction of duty, favoritism, bending the law or indifferently. In the face of local evil gentry, many of them even If they act together, they will lead to civil unrest in northern Shaanxi like sparks and start a prairie fire, which will be out of control."

Feng Ziying glanced at the other party with satisfaction. This is someone who knows current affairs. Qiao Yingjia specifically told him that he only needs to hold on to this person firmly, and many problems can be easily solved. It is not enough if only a person with strong ability is needed. Enough emotional intelligence is also needed. , To understand current affairs and understand the overall situation, and to be able to quickly understand one's intentions and implement them, this is a talent that can be used to great advantage.

Moreover, Feng Ziying also knew that Xiong Jianqiu was also from Shanxi and from Yangcheng, Shanxi. He and Sun Dingxiang, the grandson of Qinshui, both belonged to Zezhou fellows. It's right to be clear, once Pingyang Mansion falls, his hometown Yangcheng will hardly be spared, he should understand the stakes.

"Well, in Jianqiu, northern Shaanxi is barren, and the three sides are facing huge military pressure from the Tumed people. All the taxes and taxes of the imperial court in Shaanxi are allocated to the three sides and four towns. It can be said that this is a complementary and mutual influence. The problem is that northern Shaanxi is uneasy, and the three sides and four towns cannot get enough food and wages. In turn, the defense is slack, and there may even be mutiny of soldiers or ineffective response to the Tumed invasion. This will also affect the security of northern Shaanxi. The North issue is critical."

  Feng Ziying is very frank. The three censors are theoretically his colleagues. Many things can be clarified, especially after Xiong Jianqiu showed his willingness to cooperate. This is even more reassuring.

"Using military means to quell the chaos is a temporary solution. For now, it is relatively smooth, but it is easy to extinguish the open fire, but it is difficult to completely eradicate the dark fire under the ashes. This requires officials with sufficient capabilities, wrists, and strong skills. Regarding local governance, from what I know, the three prefectures in northern Shaanxi, from the prefectures to the prefectures and counties, are very difficult to satisfy. Inspectors, inspectors, how are you doing, do you have any idea, can you give me a relatively detailed and accurate statement?"

Xiong Jianqiu exchanged glances with the other two, and then replied in a deep voice: "We have a good grasp of the situation in Yan'an Mansion, and we have basically collected the situation in Qingyang Mansion. Xuande just came back from Qingyang. Ding Conggen in Pingliang hasn't turned back yet, so he probably should be back in the next few days, but I don't know what your lord thinks about the situation we have observed,..."

   "It seems that Jianqiu and you also find it difficult?" Feng Ziying laughed.

   "Well, in other provinces or in normal seasons, these situations would be done according to the law, but now that the current situation is turbulent and the army is raging, we are still a little worried that if we are too eager for success, it will lead to disaster." Xiong Jianqiu said frankly.

   "But you think the scale in the middle is not easy to grasp?" Feng Ziying slightly leaned back and nodded.

  Xiong Jianqiu's ability to think of this is enough to show that this person is not a pure censor, and it is no wonder that Qiao Yingjia values ​​him.

To put it simply, censors don’t care much about the overall situation, and they don’t need to take into account the overall situation. They only need to act according to the law. This person has a stronger view of the overall political situation, and he is already detached from his status as a censor.

  The talents that can be made may be the backbone of Shanxi scholars deliberately cultivated by Qiao Yingjia, Sun Juxiang, and Han Yu.

   "Yes, my lord is clear." Xiong Jianqiu nodded.

Feng Ziying pondered for a while and then waved her hand, "I see, you guys sort out the situation first, I'll take a look first, and then we'll discuss it later, but I think that through this civil disturbance, the powerful and evil gentry should also be included The target of elimination, maybe these people are not only the source of the disaster, but also colluded with the rebellious army, you may not know this, but I understand the situation from Long Jinwei and the army's conquest,..."

  The three of Xiong Jianqiu were stunned. They didn't expect the governor to have such a deep friendship with Long Jinwei, and he could get information from Long Jinwei.

Long Jinwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are two completely different lines. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is to investigate the wind and correct discipline, targeting officials' malfeasance and perverting the law, while Long Jinwei mainly targets officials' rebellion and disobedience. There may be intersections in the middle, but it should be Not many, but it's hard to say in this kind of chaos in the borderlands.

   But in any case, if more information can be obtained from Long Jinwei and the army, it will definitely be more secure to deal with.

"My lord, I want to ask you a question. There are many people involved, and they are of different natures. It is true that they need to be dealt with according to the law. However, considering the current fluctuating sentiments, many officials are also local cadres for many years. If they act abruptly, it will be... "

  Xiong Jianqiu couldn't help reminding Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying took a deep look at the other party, "Jianqiu, it's very good that you have this structure. We can analyze specific issues in detail, considering not only the various conditions of a place, but also the actual performance of this official and the severity of the problem, one by one. Analyze, strive to achieve precise policy implementation, and try to make things as detailed as possible with the least impact.”

  Xiong Jianqiu and the three of them could only nod.

   After coming out of the governor's office, Xiong Jianqiu said to the other two colleagues: "How do you feel?"

Lu Minghao is a tall and thin man who is taciturn. He has never spoken before, but he nodded at this moment: "As expected, he is a talent valued by Yushi Youdu, with clear thinking, accurate analysis, and courage. A young man in his early twenties came to serve as the governor. Even if he was a general, he might be good at fighting, but he might not have the time to fight other local bosses on this three-acre land in Shaanxi. But now it seems that, They already have a well-thought-out plan, even they have already made arrangements for us."

Chang Xuande also added the words: "Old Qige and Guan Shangshu's favorite students, how can there be someone who is idle? I heard that even the emperor valued it very much back then, and played it right several times alone. This is something that even ordinary servants may not have. Chance."

"Well, it's really good. Youdu Yushi also told me in a letter that we should fully cooperate and support him in his work. I was still thinking at the time, and I had to weigh the quality of this person. We can't work hard. It would be too chilling to entrust the results to him to operate, and finally end up with an evaluation that ignores the overall situation or loses sight of the other. Now it seems that this person is a bit promising, and Qingtan Academy really produces talents." Xiong Jianqiu said indifferently.

"I have also received a letter from Lord Yanggu, hoping that we will support and cooperate with Feng Keng." Chang Xuande hesitated for a moment, and said: "This son is also favored by Lord Yanggu, and the last time I returned to Beijing, I went to When it comes to Lord Shen An, Lord Shen An is full of praise when he mentions him."

Yanggu is the name of Guan Yingzhen, Shenan is the name of Chai Ke, and Chang Xuande is from Zhongxiang. Guan Yingzhen and Chai Ke are both leaders of Huguang scholars. He will naturally go to visit the leaders of the township party when he returns to Beijing. .

  Lu Minghao couldn't help sighing: "This governor is a rare person who can be favored by our Beidi and your Huguang at the same time. It is very meaningful for the imperial court to let him come to Shaanxi."

  Xiong Jianqiu is from Yangcheng, Zezhou. Lu Minghao is from Chenzhou, Kaifeng, Henan.

"Not only that, but he also has a good friendship with Jiangnan gentry, especially his strategy of opening up the sea has won the favor of Jiangnan gentry and merchants. In the past, whenever the imperial court needed to communicate with Jiangnan merchants, he was the mediator,..." Xiong Jianqiu He added with some emotion: "This son really has the flavor of the Chosen One."

   It was only after the words had been spoken that he felt that he had made a slip of the tongue. Xiong Jianqiu hurried to make up for it: "I mean, this guy has won the favor of all parties, and even God is helping him."

  Both Lu Minghao and Chang Xuande agreed deeply.

For the visit of the three censors, Feng Ziying had expected it. The censors of the procuratorate are all in rotation, and they are equal in name, but Xiong Jianqiu has the most seniority and the greatest influence among them. Basically, Xiong Jianqiu is settled. The procuratorate Shaanxi Road, that is, the affairs of the procuratorate in Xi'an can be turned according to its own baton.

   Judging from this contact, I feel pretty good.

   It can be seen that Xiong Jianqiu is very conceited about their early work in Shaanxi Province. It is estimated that the work in the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi has indeed achieved considerable results, but Xiong Jianqiu kept silent about the situation in Xi'an Prefecture, and Feng Ziying did not ask in depth.

Feng Ziying is not in a hurry, it is the first time to communicate with the censors at the procuratorate. Even though they have their own channels to get online, these censors are all eye-catching. For things, even if people cooperate in the future, the intensity and enthusiasm may not be so high.

   Taking it step by step, there is naturally a way to make these people stand on their side convincingly.

The ones who are anxious should be Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie. Feng Ziying now wants to see how long Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie can hold on, especially Sun Yijie. You're being polite, as for Lu Chuan, Feng Ziying never considered Lu Chuan.
