Chapter 1766: Renzijuan starts to move

Chapter 1766 Ren Zijuan takes action

 Feng Ziying was in a good mood after Gao Panlong was taken care of. Chai Ke was the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so there was no problem. The next step was to follow the procedures.

Dongan and Dacheng counties themselves have vacancies for county magistrates. Feng Ziying also knows that many people are watching, but in these extraordinary times, Feng Ziying can only use her own people.

In addition, he was also very dissatisfied with the county magistrates and prefecture magistrates in Xianghe, Miyun and Zhuozhou, and intended to adjust them. However, this depends on the situation. The status of Xianghe and Miyun counties is more important, and Zhuozhou is a prefecture, so more caution is needed in selecting candidates.

If possible, Feng Ziying of Dacheng and Xianghe hopes to use Fan Jingwen and Wu Yan, while Miyun uses He Fengsheng.

Dacheng is adjacent to Hejian and is the southernmost county of Shuntian Prefecture. Fan Jingwen is from Hejian and is familiar with the people and can familiarize himself with the situation as soon as possible.

  Xianghe is close to the capital, with convenient transportation and a developed economy. Wu Zong can use his strengths in this regard.

Miyun has an important geographical location. Facing the fortresses on the northern border, the area is not small. He Fengsheng is worthy of a heavy responsibility.

 After coming out of the official department, Feng Ziying was too lazy to go to Chai Ke. Gao Panlong nodded. There was no problem with Chai Ke. He only needed to follow the procedure of the three of them.

Of course, when it comes to several other states and counties that want to adjust, they still have to go to Qiao Yingjia.

The current censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Zhang Jingqiu. Feng Ziying is not sure how to persuade him, so she can only go through the back door to ask Qiao Yingjia.

But Feng Ziying felt that there shouldn't be a big problem, because of the corruption of these people, Feng Ziying had already arranged for people to collect relevant evidence in advance. Wu Yaoqing was still very capable in this regard, and he got a lot of evidence without spending much effort. But it depends on how far-reaching your involvement in this case is.

Stepping out of the door of the Household Department Hall, Ruixiang came forward with a panic look on his face. Feng Ziying frowned, but still maintained her demeanor and moved forward steadily.

 “Uncle, something happened.”

Seeing that Feng Ziying was calm and composed, Ruixiang quickly calmed down and said, "Long Jinwei suddenly sealed off the Wang family in Nianzi Hutong and the Niu family in Lige Lao Hutong."

Nianzi Hutong is in Dashi Yongfang. Across Xijiangmi Lane is where Long Jinwei and the former military governor's mansion are located. Further east is Liubu Gong House, not far away.

The Wang family's residence of Wang Ziteng is in Nianzi Hutong. Not only Wang Ziteng, but also his younger brother Wang Zisheng's residence is in Nianzi Hutong.

Li Ge Old Hutong is in Xiaoyongfang, not far from Taipu Temple. It is also a famous residential area for wealthy people. Niu Jizong's Zhenguogong Mansion is located there.

The Niu family that Ruixiang mentioned must refer to the Niu family where the three brothers Niu Jizong, Niu Jilu and Niu Jixun lived.

Niu Jizong is the eldest, and Niu Jilu is the second, but they were born as concubines and died long ago. They have two sons who are not very successful, so they have no news. The third eldest, Niu Jixun, is also a direct descendant, that is, Jia Baoyu's father-in-law.

"Oh? When did it happen?" Feng Ziying was shocked. She finally came and attacked the Niuwang family. Is it still far away from the Jia family?

"I just arrived at the Ministry of Civil Affairs an hour ago." Ruixiang was a little anxious. After following Feng Ziying for so long, he understood the relationship between Niu, Wang, Shi, and Jia, and his uncle had a close relationship with the Jia family. deep.

"Are they all checked?" Feng Ziying calmed down and slowed down. There was a carriage in front of her. Feng Ziying smiled and nodded to a colleague who was about to enter the gate of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. When the other party saw Feng Ziying taking the initiative to say hello, he stopped: " Master Feng went to the ministry to do something?"

“Yes, Mr. Xia has just returned to the ministry?” Feng Ziying stood still and bowed to the other party, “I just went to Mr. Shangshu to report on the work. I may have to trouble Mr. Xia in the next step.”

Xia Jiayu, a native of Songjiang, was a member of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He should be Gao Panlong's confidant.

"oh?" But he went to see Master Shangshu, and it seemed that something really happened. "If Xia needs to do something, I can do it as long as Master Shangshu arranges it. I don't know what it is?"

"Perhaps Mr. Xia also knows that Shuntian Prefecture has jurisdiction over various states and counties. Since the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty started, two people have quietly resigned to go south. However, many affairs cannot be delayed, so I specially reported it to Mr. Shangshu and implored the Ministry of Civil Affairs to If we can replace him as soon as possible, I need Mr. Xia to take care of me."

Xia Jiayu also knew about this. The people in Nanjing raised the flag a few days ago, which immediately set off a wave of surrender in all parts of the Zhou Dynasty.

According to the intentions of the puppet government in Nanjing, as long as officials in the north are willing to go to Nanjing, they must be promoted to two official posts, while those in Huguang, Southwest and Guangxi are required to stay in their posts temporarily until the follow-up. However, There are still many officials from Guangdong, Guangxi and Southwest China who have resigned and gone to Nanjing, and there are even more officials from the Northland, almost all of whom are scholars from Jiangnan.

"This kind of situation is not only in Shuntian Prefecture, but also in many prefectures in Beizhi. It is also the case in Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi. All the chief secretaries have reported it, and the ministry is studying how to deal with it." Xia Jiayu nodded. .

 Suddenly, there were dozens or hundreds of officials missing, and many of them were local officials. This indeed brought a lot of impact and impact to the Northland, and a strategy needed to be worked out as soon as possible.

"Master Xia, I can't control other places, but Shuntian Mansion really can't delay. You know the impact of this drought. The news I got is that the victims in Datong, Taiyuan, Baoding, and Zhending have begun to be restless, and they are probably going to With the arrival of the capital, maybe in the next month, the capital city will usher in the first wave of refugees, so we have to prepare early."

In fact, the refugees have nothing to do with these counties. Even if the refugees come, they are coming to the capital city, which is also a matter of Wanping and Daxing counties. Dacheng, Dong'an and Miyun are too far apart to have anything to do with each other. However, Feng Ziying had to put these things together to show the difficulties of Shuntian Mansion.

However, Xia Jiayu was not easy to fool, so he smiled and said, "There is no shortage of people in Daxing and Wanping."

"Haha, there is no shortage of people, but there is a shortage of food. How should we deal with the refugees when they come? If the autumn grain taxes in Dong'an and Dacheng counties are delayed, the taxes paid to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry will have to be delayed. How should the government deal with the refugees? Preparation will also be affected." Feng Ziying responded cheerfully.

Xia Jiayu also laughed, and Feng Xiuzhan reacted very quickly.

But what they said makes sense. The court can help with part of the relief food supply, but the Shuntian Mansion has to find a way to solve the shortfall. This Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan has just taken charge of government affairs, and he must want to show off in front of the court. , then you have to perform hard.

Of course this is a good thing. No one living in the capital city wants refugees from all directions to swarm in, causing chaos in the public order in the capital city. Food prices are rising three times a day. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary officials cannot bear the burden.

“Well, since Mr. Feng has already reported it to Mr. Shangshu, as long as Mr. Shangshu gives instructions, the Literature and Selection Department will definitely handle it as soon as possible.” Xia Jiayu nodded with a smile.

"Then please leave it to Mr. Xia. Mr. Xia will take the time to come to our Shuntian Mansion someday and prepare a glass of wine..." Feng Ziying also invited him enthusiastically: "At that time, I will also invite Duke Li (Yuan Keli) and Duke Boda (Lu Yanzhang). Let’s get together and have a drink, what do you think?”

Xia Jiayu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Feng Ziying was so familiar with the Songjiang Lu family. Yuan Keli was from Henan. However, Yuan Keli and Lu Yanzhang both studied under Dong Qichang, but the Lu family had never heard of being with Beidi Shi. How many people come and go.

"Oh, Mr. Feng invites you like this, how dare Xia refuse to obey?" Although Feng Ziying is more than ten years younger than herself, she has already reached the fourth rank, and her rapid rise is obvious to all. She is also the leader of the young scholars in the North. So given such an opportunity, Xia Jiayu was naturally willing to make friends with him.

Of course, Feng Ziying did not just say that Songjiang will be very important in the future and will become an important port for food from the south to the north. In addition, the influence of Songjiang scholars in the DPRK is not small, such as the Songjiang Lu family, which also involves Dong Qichang and Yuan Keli. , making good friends with this group of Songjiang scholars will also help win the support of some Jiangnan scholars.

"Okay, let's make an agreement then. When the agreement is reached, I will have the post sent to Brother Zhengfu's house." Feng Ziying also changed the title and called the other party by his first name.

Xia Jiayu was also very happy. The other party called him brother, and he would not fail to appreciate the kindness. "As for Ziying, we have made an agreement."

When Xia Jiayu came in, Feng Ziying took steps again and asked calmly: "Has Niu Jixun's house been raided too?"

“I don’t know this.” Ruixiang shook his head, “Mr. Wang sent someone to report this and that’s all.”

 “Well, I understand.” Feng Ziying thought about it and weighed it.

Now only the two Niu Wang families have been affected, probably because the influence of these two people is too bad. Niu Jizong captured Shandong, and Wang Ziteng conquered Huguang. These are the lifeblood of the imperial court. If no counterattack is made, someone will Questioning whether the imperial court really had the courage to break up with Nanjing.

If the army sees that the court's attitude is ambiguous, then it will probably have to look forward and backward when starting a war, and will have no intention of fighting to the death.

 “That master…”

 “Let’s go to Rongguo Mansion.” I originally planned to go to Rongguo Mansion to meet a few girls alone and comfort them, but now time is tight and if I don’t go, it will be too late.

"Going now?" Ruixiang hesitated. It was broad daylight, not at night.

Feng Ziying glanced at the other party and said, "That's it for now."

 Is there any difference between day and night? They have already taken action against the two Niu Wang families. It is estimated that the targets on the Long Ban Lieutenant's list have already been monitored by spies and stall fans, and they are just waiting for orders from above. But as long as the door has not been sealed, Feng Ziying will have no problem.

Feng Ziying is not worried about this. It is well known that she has a close relationship with the Jia family. The court will not let the Jia family off the hook just because of the relationship between the Jia and Feng families. Nor will it think that she will do anything just because of the relationship between the Jia and Feng families. Long Jinwei and The Metropolitan Procuratorate is not that weak-minded. Even if someone talks behind his back, it will not affect anything.
