Chapter 1348 Xin Zijuan Sunset Grass Tree Wang Xifeng’s intervention

 Fang Kezhuang was really impressed by Feng Ziying.

If Feng Ziying was in her thirties, like himself, with many years of experience as a local official, or working experience in departments such as the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, it would be unusual to have such insights, but as far as he knew, Feng Ziying was not This is good.

This person is quite knowledgeable in political strategy, and he is also very proficient in military strategy because of his family background. This is reasonable. However, this kind of understanding and mastery of case investigation and human relations should only be gained through accumulated exploration, response and disposal over time. How come this guy is so skillful and enlightened with the experience he has accumulated over time?

Even though he has some capable staff, there are many things that his staff can only give you superficial guidance on. To truly understand them, you have to accumulate and ponder them yourself, but this boy seems to have skipped this boundary directly. In other words, we cannot treat him as a novice official.

No wonder the princes in the court dared to use this son as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture so boldly. This was not just a false name compiled by the Hanlin Academy or a simple matter of defeating the Mongolian soldiers in Yongping Prefecture. I had previously felt that The princes in the court were a little hasty, but now it seems that they are still somewhat genuine. Without three-thirds, they would not dare to go to Liangshan.

The original sense of unfamiliarity was quickly eliminated through constant communication, and was replaced by a sense of identity as a northern scholar and a native of Shandong. Although Fang Kezhuang was more than ten years older than Feng Ziying, they talked very well with each other. There aren't many barriers, so it's no wonder that working together is the best way to bring the two parties closer together.

 After talking about Su Daqiang's case, it was natural for the people below to implement what should be done. The two also talked about other aspects of Shuntian Mansion's government affairs.

Tongzhou's status in Shuntian Prefecture is very special. In Feng Ziying's view, Tongzhou's status is no less than that of Wanping and Daxing counties. Because Tongzhou strangles the throat of the canal leading to the capital city, almost all goods, including grain, from the south come from the south. All kinds of daily necessities need to pass through Tongzhou. The Tonghui River has been repeatedly silted up, and its transportation capacity is not as good as before. Many goods can only be transported to Datong Bridge. Therefore, Tongzhou Wharf is still prosperous, and many goods are shipped in and out here.

“Brother Yang Chu, you and I have been here in Shuntian for about the same time, but you quickly opened up the situation, and I am very envious of you.” We had another drink in the evening, there were only two of us, and we could talk more freely.

"Ziying, can the mansion be the same as the state?" Fang Kezhuang was very calm and glanced sideways at the other party, "Although Tongzhou is prosperous and the public security is a bit chaotic, it is a state after all, and there are some followers. We also have to consider the impact. After all, we are too close to the capital, so they have to endure it if I occasionally act recklessly once or twice. Of course, if you want to be serious and touch on something that some people are ashamed of, then there are two reasons. .”

“Brother Yangchu, are you using the provoking method on my younger brother?” Feng Ziying said with a smile.

"Haha, Ziying, Wu Fuyin is ruling by doing nothing, but how long can this kind of governance last?" Fang Kezhuang said calmly: "The imperial court arranged for you and me to be in Fuzhou. I'm afraid we will just be left here to hang out. Days, right? Tongzhou has a lot of problems, I know it well, but some things still need to be done by the government. Ziying, are you ready? "

When Feng Ziying went to Qiao Yingjia, she had already received some hints and reminders. Shuntian Mansion was not only the center of the imperial court, but also the elite place in the North. It could not cause trouble and had to be properly organized. Wu Daonan had dragged down Shuntian Mansion, so what happened next? It is necessary to turn the situation around. This is not Feng Ziying's problem alone, but also the wish of the entire Northland scholars. Naturally, there are other arrangements.

For example, Fang Kezhuang should be an arrangement. There are more than 20 prefectures and counties in Shuntian Prefecture. This round of adjustments is not small, and I am afraid that this factor is involved.

"Brother Yangchu, how can we not be prepared when we are in this situation? Sitting in this position, I can't stop." Feng Ziying smiled, "Young Masters have great expectations. If we do worse, we will all live up to their expectations. .”

"Well, since you have this intention, I'm relieved." Fang Kezhuang pointed it out directly, "There are many problems in Jingcang, do you know?"

"Of course I know. This has almost become a secret. A group of rats are colluding inside and outside to enrich themselves. As far as I know, if there is half the number of households in Jingcang, it is considered Amitabha. But Jingcang is so There are many, and they are connected with the warehouses along the canal. In addition, the Cao Yuan Yamen, the Ministry of Household Affairs and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate have their inside lines. As long as there is the slightest sign of trouble, they will be able to detect it, and they have cooperated with them for many years. These grain merchants here are all wealthy people, and they can easily transport tens of thousands of stones of grain from their private warehouses, so it is not easy for you to catch thieves and take away the stolen goods."

Fang Kezhuang is no longer surprised by Feng Ziying's thorough understanding. He must have been prepared for being placed in this position. As long as the other party knows what he knows, he is afraid that someone who has high ambitions but low power or is just talking on paper will make a fuss. To scare the enemy away from the enemy is to fail in accomplishing something but to fail in doing so.

"Ziying, it seems that you have been prepared for this. If this matter is easy to handle, the princes will not be so cautious. It has been delayed for a year or two. In addition to worrying about worsening the relationship with the Huguang scholars, it is not because The number of these people is too large, and they have been suffering from many years of abuse. They are worried that they will be cooked into half-cooked rice. Plus our Lord Fuyin, haha,..."

Fang Kezhuang sneered, and Feng Ziying also laughed twice, but neither of them continued. Although he was disdainful of Wu Daonan, he was his immediate boss after all, so he could keep any outrageous words in his heart.

 Feng Ziying stayed in Tongzhou for two days before returning to the capital.

This trip to Tongzhou made him very satisfied. Firstly, he clarified the cooperative relationship with Fang Kezhuang. This countryman was another of the princes in the officialdom of Shuntian Prefecture. In a sense, he also cooperated with him. Of course, he also had Quite independent. After all, in Tongzhou, he is the party in charge of government. According to the principle that Jingfu prefectures and counties are two levels higher than other prefectures, Fang Kezhuang is also a fourth-grade official.

 The second is to start looking for an entry point together with Fang Kezhuang.

Su Daqiang's case was not included. Unexpectedly, he and Fang Kezhuang had the same eyes, and they both paid attention to Jingcang.

Jingcang is really too eye-catching, and the amount of grain transported through the canal every year is astonishing. Jingcang is responsible for the storage of the main supply to the capital city. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

But it is precisely because the number is so large that these moths will think of getting their hands on it. Moreover, this kind of thing is not a year or two, but a rule that has been established for many years. It started from the time of Emperor Yuanxi, and it should be said that it has converged in the era of Emperor Yonglong. There are a lot of things, but dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit, and wolves travel thousands of miles to eat people. As long as there is a slight chance, these people will try their best to break through the barriers and profit from them.

The Su Daqiang case can be regarded as an attempt by everyone to cooperate. Everyone can observe each other's behavior. Although there are big bosses above to help them, the partners still need to be carefully evaluated. It is not uncommon for pig teammates to harm others and themselves. Everyone It is normal to be more cautious, and the Su Daqiang case is the best opportunity to try cooperation.

When Feng Ziying returned home, she was thinking about how to quickly make a breakthrough in the Su Daqiang case. The Tongzhou Prefectural Government had already started taking actions according to its own requirements, such as excluding Su Laosi, finding the Lifu to trust and asking for details, and then going to Hangzhou for verification. , and strive to have more detailed elements that can be reflected.

Zheng's problem has to be solved by himself. If the other party refuses to agree, then he may have to use both soft and hard tactics. It is difficult to win the respect of the other party by simply showing kindness.

 This is also an opportunity.

Didn't Qiu Shi'an always want to get in touch with him? It happened that Yuanchun was not easy to contact, so he asked Qiu Shi'an to help him contact the Zheng family to see what the other party's intentions were.

“Sir, Miss Ping’er is here.”

Baoxiang came in with a wink to report, which surprised Feng Ziying. Ping'er is here?

 What's going on with Sister Feng?

“Ask her to wait in the study, I’ll be there right away.” Feng Ziying also nodded.

When she arrived at the study room and saw Ping'er's uneasy look, Feng Ziying knew that something was going to be difficult.

"Why are you so reserved? What's not easy to say to me? Tell me, what happened to Sister Feng again?" Feng Ziying sat down with a smile.

"Uncle, what you said is so hurtful. Can't grandma take the initiative to find you?" Ping'er was a little embarrassed, but she could only bite the bullet and said.

"Haha, Ping'er, do you know what your shortcomings are? It's that you are too honest. You look restless. If it was an ordinary thing, how could you be like this? It must be something to make things difficult for me, right? No, you are usually calm and generous, but today you are uneasy, am I right?"

Feng Ziying waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about this matter earlier. I will try my best to do it. If I can't, I will make it clear to you."

“Didn’t your Excellency just come back from Tongzhou to investigate a case?”

Feng Ziying was surprised by Ping'er's words. He was so well-informed. As soon as he came back, he got the news over there. It seemed that the Tongzhou Yamen was like a fishing net and couldn't keep it secret at all.

"Why, Sister Feng is so hungry that she dares to do such a thing?" Feng Ziying's face turned cold, and her eyes were even more emotionless.

"Uncle, please don't fall out of favor yet. Although grandma has this intention, she is not unprincipled. Isn't this just to ask you first? I heard grandma say that the other party is very sincere, but there is something unspeakable. He’s definitely not a murderer, so…”

Ping'er also knew that this touched Uncle Feng's objection, and he had tried to persuade him, but grandma had her own reasons. Ping'er had no choice but to come, and I hoped that Uncle Feng would not just ignore it. After falling out, she now found that she was becoming more and more frightened of the other party, and that momentum made her breathless.
