Chapter 1300 Xin Zijuan Sunset Grass Tree Industrial Ambition (Second update please vote!)

 Feng Ziying will indeed be busy for a while.

At the same time as Wang Wenyan's letter arrived, another person's messenger also arrived, and it turned out to be Qiu Shi'an.

Of course, this is a congratulation, and he is Qiu Shian's relative in a roundabout way.

 But his congratulations were a bit intriguing, and even made Feng Ziying feel a little uneasy.

He didn't want to have anything to do with these palace servants, at least he didn't have the qualifications yet. Yuan Chun showed some of Qiu Shian's intentions through Baoqin's words, or there were other people behind Qiu Shian, but Feng Ziying didn't I don’t want to know, let alone get too involved.

Emperor Yonglong here is still facing the threat of Prince Yi Zhong. The concubines and princes have already started to play the trick of five dragons to seize the heir. Feng Ziying can't help but sigh when she thinks about it. She really thinks that her country is very stable. Already?

Feng Ziying also knows that as her status rises, some things cannot be avoided.

Taking the chamberlains in the palace as an example, who dares to say that chamberlains such as Dai Quan, Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shian are not in cahoots with the ministers and chamberlains? Who dares to say that all the princes in the court are pure ministers?

There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, not all scholars are of character, Zhang Jingqiu is just fine, look at Gu Bingqian, he is so popular with Emperor Yonglong, step by step he gets to the position of Minister of Rites, Li Sancai sees the wind and makes the right choice, and he Do you really think everyone can’t see through Emperor Yonglong’s little tacit understanding?

It is also true that Gu Bingqian's qualifications are still a little low. Feng Ziying believes that as long as he waits for a few more years, Emperor Yonglong will probably support Gu Bingqian to join the cabinet next time.

The position of Shuntian Mansion is too special. The two positions of Fu Yin and Fu Cheng are not only watched by the princes in the court, but also by the people in the palace. Especially Wu Daonan's neglect of government has attracted more attention to the candidate of Shuntian Mansion. Now I There are those who are envious and jealous of those who are in power, there are those who are cold-hearted bystanders, there are also those who do evil behind the scenes, and there are certainly no shortage of those who flatter and make friends.

 Zhu Zhiren left first, and Wei Guangwei took over as the prefect. Feng Ziying had to hold on for a few more days until Wei Guangwei handed over the affairs here and Lianguo affairs were handed over before he could leave.

Wei Guangwei is also a capable minister. He has many years of experience in the Ministry of Industry and knows a lot about local affairs. In addition, he and Feng Ziying also have a relationship with him going south to the south of the Yangtze River, so he figured it out quite well.

The arrival of Lian Guoshi finally brought a successful end to the adjustment of Yongping Mansion, but Wei Guangwei also asked Feng Ziying to make a clear handover with Lian Guoshi, especially the matters that Yongping Mansion needs to deal with in the next step. Properly, even if Wei Guangwei doesn't say it, Feng Ziying must do it well. This is related to her foundation in Yongping Mansion.

 Accompanying Lian Guoshi to see Wei Guangwei, Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi returned to Tongzhi Gong's house.

 The next step is the formal handover between the two, which involves many official matters, and there are also some things that Feng Ziying needs to explain specifically, half public and half private.

"Is this matter urgent?" Lian Guoshi said with some confusion as he received the thick stack of documents.

"Of course." Feng Ziying nodded, "Take a look first. This can be regarded as an unfinished business left by me as a colleague. Well, originally the former prefect Zhu wanted to use this matter to help him in his work. The official career of Yongping Mansion has left a mark. Unexpectedly, God failed to fulfill his wish and he failed to succeed. Now Jun Yu, you can catch up. If you do a good job, I believe that both the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Household Affairs will give you a credit. ."

Hearing Feng Ziying's affirmation, Lian Guoshi's face suddenly became solemn. He took the information and began to read it carefully. Feng Ziying did not rush aside and just drank tea by himself.

After a while, Lian Guoshi finally digested the impact of these information and said in a deep voice: "So, the Huimin Salt Field was actually deliberately destroyed by the powerful and evil gentry from Changli and Leting in collusion with the Japanese pirates in order to achieve their embezzlement. the goal of?"

"That's basically what I mean." Feng Ziying nodded, "We did a lot of preliminary investigations and dug out a lot of clues. We basically identified two powerful gentry families in Changli. There are five families in Laoting, and this one is more. , naturally it is difficult to keep it secret, and if there are those who benefit, there will naturally be those who are jealous. As long as you put some thought into it, you can find a way."

"What do you want to do, Ziying?" Lian Guoshi frowned. He checked and found that these powerful gentry families are not simple. They are all prominent figures in Changli and Laoting. If they want to touch these people, they will definitely It caused a lot of backlash and public opinion.

"Jun Yu, these powerful men are no different from ordinary bandits. They take what they take and kill them. If you want to touch them, you have to kill them. Otherwise, these people will be very capable of counterattack. Even if they can finally Dispose of them, but they will also cause us a lot of trouble." Feng Ziying also reminded Lian Guoshi, "So it is best to catch the Japanese pirates together, so that both the people and the stolen goods can be solved, and the case can be turned into a solid case. "

 "Ziying, it seems you are very confident? How to deal with the Japanese pirates?" Lian Guoshi read all the files and felt that the Japanese pirates were the most difficult to deal with.

How can we catch these people who come and go without a trace on the sea?

 If these Japanese pirates cannot be held, it will be impossible to convict these powerful gentry, and the case will become an unsolved case, which will not only damage the prestige of the government, but also bring many sequelae.

 “Denglai Navy.” Feng Ziying said softly.

"Oh?" Lian Guoshi suddenly realized. No wonder Feng Ziying is so confident. With the Denglai Navy, it will be easy to deal with hundreds of Japanese pirates. This is equivalent to giving himself a credit out of thin air. No wonder Feng Ziying is obsessed with himself. If you come to Yongping Mansion, good things will happen.

"Master Shen, I told you last time that it happened to be delayed due to the Mongolian invasion. I also said hello to Hou Chengzu. It will be him who will lead the troops when the time comes. We only need to seize the clues here. , and then notify the Navy, they will set off northward, stop briefly at Dagu, and then attack Xiangyun Island and Yuituo, catching them off guard. You can discuss the specific arrangements at that time. In short, we will All caught in one fell swoop.”

"With these evidences of collusion between the Japanese pirates and the powerful people in Laoting, Changli, no matter how hard these people go, they can't overturn the case. This also affects the face of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Revenue. Whoever dares to intervene will just wait." The anger of the censors and the Ministry of Finance must be there." Feng Ziying rubbed her hands and smiled: "I have also arranged for an insider to be found at Laeting in Changli. If nothing unexpected happens, these Japanese pirates will come back in late spring and early summer, and then they will take action. good time."

 Lian Guoshi secretly sighed in his heart, this is the foundation of Wu Xun's background.

Shen Yourong and Hou Chengzu were both warriors. Although civil servants could control them, they had to have sufficient status and confidence. However, civil servants like Feng Ziying, who had a martial arts background, would naturally gain the favor of such warriors. Normally, they would be like For a twenty-year-old civil servant like Feng Ziying, which general would be convinced by you and give you advice?

 “Thank you, Ziying.” Lian Guoshi thanked him sincerely.

"Hey, Jun Yu, it's boring for us to talk about this." He waved to Feng Ziying, "We have the same goals, and helping you is helping myself. I also hope that you can understand and control the situation in Yongping Mansion as soon as possible. …”

“Ziying, what you said is a bit outrageous. The prefect is Brother Xianbo.” Lian Guoshi smiled.

"I know that Brother Xianbo and we are both northern scholars, so his energy will not be focused on this, and some of his views are different from ours." Feng Ziying did not mince words, "Maybe in three years he will Leave, but we want to do things well in Yongping Prefecture so that the gentry and common people in Yongping Prefecture can feel the changes that our hard work has brought to their lives..."

Feng Ziying's words seemed a bit sincere, "You and I can clearly see how the nearly one million common people in Yongping Prefecture are living now. It can be said that just having food and clothing is a very luxurious thing. If there is a slight disaster, they will either be destroyed or destroyed." Being displaced as a refugee, or starving to death everywhere, this situation is exactly what you and I, as scholars, should strive to change, isn't it?"

Lian Guoshi was moved by this, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Ziying, I know you are pushing to open mines, build factories, build roads, and open ports for trade, but there are so many people, can these alone solve the livelihood of the people?" There are nearly one million people in Pingfu. The number of people who can mine, build factories, build roads and open ports can only accommodate a mere 100,000 people, which is the limit. Moreover, road construction accounts for the majority, and it is unsustainable. Once the roads are built, how can they make a living? I think this boils down to the root cause. In the end, the fundamental problem is to solve the problem of land and food. Of course, I also admit that everything you do is indeed very innovative and can indeed solve many problems, but it is difficult to solve the fundamental problem."

The view of practicing state affairs is not only the most traditional scholar's concept that food is the first priority for the people and agriculture is the first, but it is also in line with this era and the current situation of the Zhou Dynasty. Feng Ziying is very clear that the concept of industrial rejuvenation that she strongly promotes is too advanced, and in the current situation With the development of science and technology and productivity, it is difficult for industry and commerce to accommodate the huge agricultural population. The key to the survival of the Zhou Dynasty is whether the people can have enough food to eat and whether they can be clothed and covered. , obviously neither industry nor commerce can answer it, and we have to work **** agriculture.

But Feng Ziying is also very clear that the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is in the Little Ice Age, will inevitably encounter various floods, droughts and natural disasters as well as huge disasters caused by the cold climate, especially in the north. If we do not find a way to solve it, then Da Zhou would inevitably follow the path of Ming Dynasty in his previous life, which he could never accept.

Of course, industry and commerce cannot solve these problems overnight. Similarly, even the introduction of crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes introduced by Xu Guangqi will be a drop in the bucket, but at least these methods can alleviate the various crises that Dazhou will encounter to a certain extent, so Feng Ziying must persist in her own ideal concepts and put them into practice.

 Now he must convince Lian Guoshi to believe in himself and work hard for it.
