Chapter 1271 The Temptation of Discussing Merits and Achievements in Gengzi Volume

After pondering for a long time, Qi Yongtai felt that his disciple was really a monster.

You can say that he is just quick-thinking, but his execution ability is also designed to be so brilliant. Ordinary operators who have been practicing below for ten years may not be able to compare with his ease. He can manipulate a group of businessmen and gentry in his hands, and one person Everyone was happy with it and rushed to curry favor with him.

Just to build the roads from Qian'an and Lulong to Funing and Yuguan was very expensive, but none of these businessmen had any objections. They really followed the orders and prohibitions, which is astonishing.

Feng Ziying's persistence still makes some sense. If such a large share of achievements are taken away by outsiders, it will undoubtedly be a loss to the Northern scholars.

There is no problem with Wei Guangwei being appointed as the prefect. As long as the whole story is explained, he will definitely be happy. However, as for practicing state affairs, he has been practicing state affairs since he was a fifth-rank Yuanwailang, and he is still in a key position such as the Ministry of Personnel. It is indeed a pity, but considering Qi Yongtai felt that it was worth it when he realized the huge benefits that two or three years of working in Yongping Mansion might bring.

After thinking about it, Qi Yongtai felt that Feng Ziying’s proposal was still feasible. The only obstacle might be Lian Guo Shi’s attitude. But judging from Feng Ziying’s confident attitude, he estimated that this guy could convince Lian Guo Shi.

In fact, Qi Yongtai was simply overthinking it. The next day, Feng Ziying invited Lian Guo Shi to his house to discuss the bosses’ thoughts and his own suggestions. Lian Guo Shi agreed without any hesitation, especially after seeing Feng Ziying After a series of plans and intentions, practicing state affairs was even more exciting.

From the outside, working in the Ministry of Civil Affairs seems to be a high-ranking position and a prestigious one. There will indeed be a very good future in the future after graduating from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, for Lian Guo Shi, who wants to do something practical, this makes him Feeling empty and boring, all kinds of complicated affairs can wear people out of their temper and desire. Compared with Feng Ziying's drastic work in Yongping Mansion, one is in the sky and the other is in the earth.

Now that he has the opportunity to succeed Feng Ziying and work **** the land that has already laid the foundation, Lian Guoshi wishes he could take over Feng Ziying's work immediately and directly enter the role.

"Okay, Jun Yu, don't think that this is an easy thing to do. Those businessmen and gentry are not that simple. They can do anything when profit comes first, but when it comes to profit, no one will give in. , you have to think carefully about how to play the role of arbiter in it. I have some relevant documents here. You can take them back and take a look at them first to become familiar with them. I estimate that the situation will soon change after the start of the new year. Mingming, you won’t have much time to prepare by then.”

Lian Guoshi nodded sharply: "I understand, since you want to go out and do things, you must be willing to bear the hardship..."

"In addition, I would also like to remind you that when you work in the Ministry of Personnel, you are an official in name, but in fact you are still doing official things. It is nothing more than the importance of things. But when you get down there, you are a real person. Now that you are an official, I suggest you look for a staff or two and go to Yongping Mansion. They can help you familiarize yourself with the situation, manage your subordinates, and make friends with the gentry and merchants, otherwise you will not be able to do it alone."

Faced with Feng Ziying's serious suggestion, Lian Guoshi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. Being an official below and being an official in the ministry are two different concepts. We must learn to delegate power and grasp the main points, and how to mobilize resources from all parties. , reasonable use is very important.

 “Ziying, it seems that you have gained a lot this year.” Lian Guoshi felt a little emotional.

"There is such a process, from unfamiliarity to familiarity, from being helpless and unable to do anything to mastering it with ease. You have no problem at all. I can do it, but you can't?" Feng Ziying encouraged: "If Brother Xianbo becomes the prefect, you and him will also Very familiar, but he may not have much energy to focus on it, so you have to come over for the specific matters. At that time, I will also explain it to the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce and some local gentry who have contacted me. In addition, some local resources will also be handed over. for you,…"

 The state affairs were also recorded silently.

“In addition, if you practitioners are interested in doing this, you might as well introduce one or two of them...”

 Lian Guoshi was taken aback and looked at Feng Ziying in amazement: "Ziying?!"

"Don't look at me like that. Do you really think that the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce, the Foshan Villagers, and the local gentry can trust you to lead such a big business? If there are no interests involved, how can they rest assured? I don't want you personally. What to do in it, in a sense, this is more like a pledge." Feng Ziying sighed lightly, "I don't want to do this, but you want to open up the situation as soon as possible and win their recognition and Support is the only way. Only by converging interests can we gather strength to the maximum extent. I don’t need to explain this truth..."

 Lian Guoshi left. Feng Ziying could see that his footsteps were heavier than when he came, but he could not help him.

This kind of mental knot should be opened by practicing state affairs. As a member of a noble family in Yongcheng, he just had some feelings that were difficult to accept for a while. Soon he would understand clearly and think clearly about the pros and cons.

Sometimes Feng Ziying also reflects on herself. It seems that she can't escape the shackles of the times. If you don't step in, it will be difficult to take advantage of them. As a mortal, she thinks she can change the entire system by herself. And the times, that’s so unreliable.

Therefore, he can only choose to "collude" to a certain extent, and this kind of "collusion" is not even an unspoken rule in this era, it is an explicit rule. At most, it is tacitly understood by everyone. Even the Imperial Prosecutor's Office and Long Jinwei are not aware of it. I won't pay too much attention to this situation.

Calculated based on the salary system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is really unimaginable for a local official to maintain a decent livelihood for himself and bear the expenses of his staff by relying on salary alone. This is why poor families often have a person who is promoted to a scholar or has an official career. Those who shine will be widely praised, but it is really ignored that the vast majority of Jinshi candidates and officials are from wealthy families.

  ************

Seeing that the spring break is coming to an end, Feng Ziying is also preparing to return to Yongping Mansion.

Although I know that I am afraid that I will only be able to stay in Yongping Mansion for a month or two before returning, I still have to continue to do what I need to do.

During this period, the big guys from various factions in Beijing are gathering and discussing intensively. It is obvious that everyone is making final efforts for a major personnel adjustment after the spring break.

Although the seven ministers and the chief officials of the Duchayuan have been identified, the scale is larger, or the variables are greater, and the competition is fiercer for the seven ministers, the deputy imperial envoys of the Duchayuan, the censors of the capital, and many important provinces Officials in the government and the government are also facing adjustments after the big plan. It can be said that this should be the formation of the ruling core group after the five cabinet ministers Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, Qi Yongtai, Li Tingji, and Li Sancai formed the cabinet since Emperor Yonglong ascended the throne. The largest and most important personnel arrangement since then.

The timing is really not good.

The war in the southwest is falling into a stalemate, and even has the potential to spread. The quarrels between the scholars in the North and Jiangnan over the formation of Jiangbei Town and Jiang Waterproof Division are still continuing. The huge gap in the household department is making it difficult for the elders of Yigange. The impact of the reconstruction of the Beijing Camp and the great defeat of the Wuxun Group is still brewing in Beijing,...

These are all on the surface, and the various undercurrents under the water are even more difficult to see clearly. However, everyone including Emperor Yonglong knows that this situation cannot continue to be dragged on, otherwise various problems will increase. The situation will get worse and worse.

If you are not in your position, you will not seek political power, but if you are in your position, you will seek political power. This principle applies to everyone. Only by giving these human rights positions can you clarify their responsibilities and allow them to work hard for them, so it is also Only in the ninth year of Yonglong did this round of major personnel adjustments take place.

Of course, this round of personnel adjustments cannot be completed in one step. Key positions must first be determined, then deputy officials, and then lower-level officials. A person is absolutely attracted to everyone.

 After talking with Lian Guo, Feng Ziying called in Zheng Chongjian, Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, Fang Youdu, Wu Di and others to talk.

Of course, you can't be as open and honest with them as you are with Lian Guoshi. After all, it is basically a high probability that he will replace him in Shuntian Mansion and Lian Guoshi. There is also a high probability that he and Lian Guoshi have different understandings on many issues. Convergence, so we can be so sincere.

Although the relationship between Zheng Chongjian and others is relatively close, except for Fang Youdu, they have not reached the same level as Lian Guoshi. Fang Youdu is even inferior to Lian Guoshi in terms of knowledge, but in terms of personal friendship More closely.

In her conversation with them, Feng Ziying talked more about what she had done in Yongping Mansion and the huge opportunities. She also mentioned that her various actions in Yongping Mansion during the year might be criticized by the officials and the governor. The hospital talks about merits and achievements, which makes several people extremely envious.

 Zheng Chongjian is the most touching.

Feng Ziying, a rebel in Ningxia, went to the grassland alone to negotiate with Bu Shitu, the Tumut leader, and later fought against the enemy outside the city in Ganzhou. These two achievements made Feng Ziying stand out. Proposing the strategy of opening up the sea, Feng Ziying directly entered the Hanlin Academy as a scholar as a second-class scholar, and even beat Yang Sichang and Huang Zunsu, who were the second best among the first-class scholars.

You must know that coming up with the strategy of opening up the sea is not a credit. It only allowed the emperor and the court officials to see Feng Ziying's far-sightedness and recognize him. The real merits that allowed Feng Ziying to enter the Hanlin Academy as an editor were his two works during the counter-rebellion. Credit, this is the real deal.

Now Feng Ziying has stirred up huge waves in Yongping Mansion this year. The series of actions are dazzling. When Feng Ziying mentions the official department and discusses his achievements, how can he not make them feel itchy and uncomfortable.
