Chapter 2694 The accident of the Kui character scroll, the elbow and armpit

Conversations with Geng Ruqi and Pan Ruzhen are much easier.

The affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry are much more specific. Feng Ziying and the two talked about some of their own ideas.

For example, the study of soil quality, the adaptability of new crops and the cultivation of excellent varieties, such as the construction planning of post roads and railway tracks, and the promotion and use of building materials such as cement, etc., can be regarded as opening a window for the two of them.

This instruction also made them understand what key practices they should focus on when entering the center, instead of being reduced to bureaucrats in the paperwork.

There is no way, the officials in this era are still the most typical officials in the feudal era, which are far from the officials under the modern administrative system in Feng Ziying's mind. They are more about being officials than doing things.

Geng Ruqi and Pan Ruzhen are quite good, at least locally they belong to a group of people who do things pragmatically, but they still have a lot of inherent old thinking about how to do things, how to do them well, and how to be efficient.

Feng Ziying had to teach them in person, breaking the shackles of the old thinking, instilling more new things in them, and at the same time combining the new evaluation concept of the test method to make them adapt quickly.

It should be said that the effect was good. Both Geng Ruqi and Pan Ruzhen showed strong interest.

Especially in combination with the examination method, this also means that the future cabinet and officials' evaluation of them will also be based on these matters mentioned by Feng Ziying, which is equivalent to Feng Ziying giving them missed questions in advance.

Of course, missing the questions does not mean they can do well, there is still a lot of work to do.

As the end of the year approached, in addition to taking the initiative to summon Pan Ruzhen and Geng Ruqi who had been transferred to Beijing to talk with them, naturally there were also people who took the initiative to come to the door, and there were quite a few, such as Wei Guangwei, Cui Chengxiu and Fu Shi.

Needless to say, Wei Guangwei handed over Feng Ziying and Feng Ziying in Yongping Mansion. Of course, their positions were different. When the Beizhi Bailian Rebellion was quelled, Wei Guangwei was also sent a letter to remind him.

Cui Chengxiu is a little interesting.

Cui Chengxiu was the magistrate of Datong at the same time Feng Ziying was governor of Shaanxi, and Cui Chengxiu was the magistrate of Datong. More than five years and almost six years have passed. Cui Chengxiu was transferred to the prefect of Jinling two years ago, but his grade has not changed.

Feng Ziying has seen the evaluation of Cui Chengxiu by the Ministry of Officials, and it is not bad.

However, Feng Ziying was not very satisfied with this person who was too flattering to the local gentry.

But he also knows that in a border town like Datong, the local wealthy families are very powerful. Without the support of these people, it will be difficult to do things. The Feng family, the Duan family, the Ma family, and the Ma family are all wealthy families in Datong. It can be considered excusable.

Cui Chengxiu was good at managing bandits, with vicious actions and strict suppression. The horse bandits in Datong had always been tough, but under his rule, they had to flee far to the west or go out of the fortress.

After being transferred to Jinling magistrate, scholars in the south of the Yangtze River had a bad impression of him, so they put it aside.

Therefore, Cui Chengxiu is still somewhat capable.

But what made Feng Ziying a little depressed was that Wei Guangwei and Cui Chengxiu were both famous eunuchs in the history of their previous lives, but they didn't expect that they were all running after themselves now.

That's all for Wei Guangwei, at least he has some kind of friendship, and he is also from a famous family, but this Cui Chengxiu has no friendship. He has given away several Datong mothers-in-law and aunts in his own way, but he seems to have confiscated them too.

However, as Lian Guoshi said, as long as you can do things and are willing to get closer, you can't reject people thousands of miles away, you can guide them, you can instill them, and let them gradually accept your own ideas and viewpoints, and gradually use them for me.

At any rate, both of them were Jinshi, and now they are both third-rank and fourth-rank officials. If they can take the initiative to take refuge in themselves, how can they reject them?

Of course use.

There is also Fu Shi.

Fu Shi is now in Shuntian Mansion, taking over Mei Zhiye's previous position.

Feng Ziying now appreciates Fu Shi even more.

Fu Shi is down-to-earth and steady, sophisticated and thoughtful, and has a good reputation in Baoan Prefecture for several years.

From Feng Ziying's point of view, Fu Shi is actually not very suitable for entering the court, and is more suitable for doing things in the local area. Now Shuntian Fu Zhizhong is also an official of the fifth rank, but Fu Shi is not young anymore, in his early forties. If If it is delayed any longer, the prospects for future development will be limited.

Therefore, Feng Ziying intentionally put it in a farther position, so that he can directly rise to the fourth rank, and choosing a remote place to be a magistrate is also a bit of experience.

As for the future, as long as I am in the court, I don't worry about not being able to return to Beijing.

On the eighth day of December in the sixth year of Wantong, Qi Yongtai, who had been lingering on the sickbed for more than a year, died of illness.

Without Qi Yongtai's support, Gu Bingqian's position in the cabinet is even more precarious.

"What did you say?" Feng Ziying was surprised and couldn't help standing up: "Why didn't He Zhisheng report to me? Where's Feng Ziyi?"

The person who came was Li Guitang, commander of Lieutenant Long Jinwei, former leader of Feng Ziying's guards.

"Master He may be a little careless, or he may think that Lord Shoufu is too close to you, so he has not paid attention to it, and Lord Feng has been in Jinling for more than two months, and the Japanese pirates are showing signs of resurgence in Jiangnan. , Mr. Feng attaches great importance to it, and personally took people there."

Li Guitang's answer reminded Feng Ziying that Feng Ziyi had been to Jiangnan for a long time.

He knows it.

The Tokugawa shogunate was a little restless again.

This made Feng Ziying a little uncertain.

In my previous life, at the beginning of the [-]th century, Japan under the rule of the Tokugawa family was quite peaceful. How did you travel to this time and space? The general situation in other surrounding areas has not changed much, but Japan is a little different?

Of course, it would be inaccurate to say that there has been no change. The Jurchen, the greatest enemy of Jianzhou, has been wiped out by himself. Isn't such a big change considered a big change?

Could it be that the destruction of the Jianzhou Jurchen stimulated Hidetada Tokugawa?

Feng Ziying has never relaxed his surveillance on Japan. The Osaka Winter Battle and the Osaka Summer Battle still happened. The Toyotomi family has been destroyed. Tokugawa Ieyasu also passed away last year. Tokugawa Hidetada officially took charge of the shogunate, but one country and one city The order did not announce that the strength of the daimyos in various places has not been reduced much. This is the biggest change.

This also means that there are still a considerable number of troops in Japan, even if these daimyo troops pose a threat to Tokugawa Hidetada's position as a general, but Tokugawa Hidetada still did not use the "One Country, One City" order to reduce it. Who is this change aimed at? ?

Because of this, Japanese pirates frequently harassed the sea from Jiangnan, making Feng Ziying a little worried whether this was the beginning of Japan's threat to China at sea.

So on the one hand, he asked the navy to strengthen defenses, and on the other hand, he also asked Feng Ziyi to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate those local rich merchants who had been in contact with the Japanese pirates, so as to prevent them from being breached by the Japanese from the inside.

Gu Bingqian did have a close relationship with Feng Ziying, but the passing of Qi Yongtai made Gu Bingqian feel the crisis. Maybe he thought it was difficult for him to give him strong enough support like Master Qi?

That's why he took this stupid move?
