Chapter 1804 Renzijuan’s work is difficult and dangerous

Feng Ziying worked so hard and thought so hard, but many times she could only do things but not talk about them, and even a lot of credit had to be given to others.

For example, the granaries set up in Yuguan and Yuepo Port stored a large amount of grain, and this credit had to be given to Wei Guangwei and Lian Guoshi.

Another example is sending people south to negotiate with Yangzhou salt merchants, Dongting merchants, Ningbo maritime merchants, etc., hoping that they will continue to support the imperial sales plan, and even do it anonymously. This was also his suggestion to Huang Ruliang of the Ministry of Revenue. Later, Huang Ruliang said that one guest would not bother two hosts, and asked Feng Ziying to help with the arrangements, but Feng Ziying could not refuse.

Another example is to contact the people of Inner Khalkha. The Ministry of War asked itself to be responsible for coordination. As a result, the Yehe tribe was involved, making it more and more complicated. However, this was all beneficial to the court. It would not be enough if it was not done.

Feng Ziying herself felt that she had unknowingly become an indispensable figure in the imperial court. Although her main job was still in Shuntian Mansion, whether it was the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, or even the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, They all involve themselves from time to time.

The ministers and ministers often summoned themselves to go to the seven ministers to discuss matters, which lasted for half a day. Even the ministers of the cabinet would sometimes call themselves to talk and ask for opinions. In the eyes of others, this was simply a good thing that they could only hope for, but For Feng Ziying, it has become a trouble for happiness.

I couldn't handle my own affairs well, but I meddle in so many other things. In the end, trouble happened in Shuntian Mansion. I don't know who should be blamed for it?

 Fortunately, Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng finally arrived.

These days, it is not popular to say that officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs will send you to take office. The officials will issue official documents, and then go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report and talk, and then go straight to Shuntianfu Yamen, and then they will accompany them with the chief of staff. For a role, just take the official document and take office.

Of course, the Shuntian government office will also greet these prefecture and county government offices in advance so that the subordinates can be prepared. However, for these new officials who take up their posts with nothing but their own family, this is a big challenge. Can they sit firmly on their respective turfs? To play around, it depends on each person’s ability.

"Okay, don't look anxious. The situation in Shuntian Mansion is better than when I went to Yongping Mansion, right?" Feng Ziying greeted Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng to sit down. When tea was served, only the three of them were left. , then said calmly: "If the situation is all good, how can you show your ability? It is said that the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough and turbulent know the honest minister. The more difficult the situation in the court, the more it can prove a person's ability. Now it will be smooth That’s how Tianfu is. If we weren’t classmates, I wouldn’t take the initiative to invite you..."

"Ziying, we know your good intentions, otherwise we wouldn't bite the bullet, but you have told us a lot of troublesome things, and everything is a tricky and hot job. Ke and I Yao didn’t have any experience before, so he didn’t know how to deal with it.”

Fan Jingwen took a sip of the tea and put it down, with a worried look on his face, "There is a severe drought, refugees, the White Lotus Sect, water bandits, evil gentry, and we are also facing the need to supply husbands and food for the army going south next year. I feel like my scalp is shaking." I'm numb, Ke Yao, how about you?"

"Mengzhang, you are from Hejian and are familiar with the situation here. What about me? My eyes are darkened and I don't understand anything. Besides, water bandits are only found in Dong'an County. Well, De Shengdian Lake in Dacheng County is now a It’s half a swamp. If we develop it, it could turn into thousands of hectares of fertile land, but what about the Triangle Lake? It’s right next to the Tianjin Guards. If water bandits are allowed to run rampant, how come the Tianjin Guards can ignore it?”

He Fengsheng also rubbed his face with his hands and sighed repeatedly.

Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing when she heard the two people say this. She also said that these two people didn't care. She said a few words casually, and the two people were exposed. She had already understood the situation in the two counties long ago, and it seemed that she was the same. It took a lot of effort, otherwise how could we have such a clear understanding of the situation in Deshengdian and Sanjiangdian?

"Ke Yao, you are just pretending in front of me." Feng Ziying smiled half-heartedly, "I don't believe you don't know the situation in Sanjiaidian. Everyone knows who the lake bandits are. As long as they can have enough to eat, , who is willing to fight the lake bandits? Besides, on the Tianjin Wei side, the Wei River will continue to be dredged this winter, and Dagu is also expanding, which requires a lot of labor. Although the drought is serious, it can just allow these people who may have become disaster victims in the past to find How about giving them a bowl of rice and going directly to the river embankment or Dagu to dredge the river or build a pier and ensure that they have a bowl of rice?"

"Seriously?" He Fengsheng's eyes lit up, "The cost of building the wharf and dredging the river will not be borne by the county, right?"

"Haha, I have an agreement with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Household Affairs will pay part of the dredging of the river, and the government will also bear part of it. Dagu Port may become the permanent residence of the Denglai Navy in the future, so the Ministry of War In addition, merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi are also very interested in Dagu Port and are planning to build wharves in Dagu and Beitang in the north of Dagu to facilitate direct sea transportation into the inland river,..."

Since Feng Ziying wanted to invite He Fengsheng and Fan Jingwen, she naturally had to give them some support.

 He Fengsheng went to Dong'an to serve as the county magistrate.

Dong'an is close to Sanjiaodian and Tianjinwei. Relying on the water surface in this area of ​​Sanjiaodian, the Sanggan River is divided into two waterways at Marco Polo Bridge, one northeast and one southwest, flowing parallel into Sanjiaidian. So overall, the drought is not too serious, even if Some disaster victims can also solve their problems through this kind of work-for-work relief in winter and spring.

  Starting from Tianjin Wei as the center to Liangchengsuo, that is, the area east of the canal, a hundred miles in radius was originally under the jurisdiction of the Weisuo, but it has been deserted for many years.

The Wei army and their families could not farm at all, so there was a lot of wasteland. In contrast, Dong'an and Wuqing counties were both west of the canal and densely populated, but there was insufficient land, so this contradiction was very prominent.

Now, taking advantage of the current drought in the north, interruption of water transportation, and lack of food, Feng Ziying plans to negotiate with the Ministry of War to move some people from Wuqing and Dong'an counties to the land under the jurisdiction of the original guard west of the canal, and cultivate it. Can relieve some stress.

This matter is also very complicated. Relocation itself is not a simple matter. There are also many difficulties in re-cultivation of wasteland that has been deserted for many years. But as long as this winter is over and as long as we survive next year, there will be a bright future.

This requires a very capable character with strong execution ability. Feng Ziying is not sure whether He Fengsheng can do it, but this will definitely be an excellent exercise for He Fengsheng. Being able to do this well is better than being there. They have been hanging out in the ministry for many years.

"So I'm still a little rushed. I was thinking that Ziying, you could just throw us down and forget about it." He Fengsheng rubbed his chin while thinking about it.

"Haha, don't expect me to help you too much. There are a lot of troublesome things in the government. If it's easy to do, what should I do with you? Why not just let the officials arrange it." Feng Ziying poured cold water on her unceremoniously: "Whether it's repairing the wharf or dredging the river, it's only temporary. The key is what I told you. The reclamation west of the canal must bear fruit next year. I wrote a letter of guarantee to the Ministry of Household Affairs, otherwise you think it would be so easy for the Ministry of War. Just give up this huge piece of land? Dong'an and Wuqing counties, the magistrate of Wuqing is very capable of doing things, I don't want Keyao and Dong'an to be dragged behind by then."

"Ziying, you are just trying to catch a duck. Do I have a way out now?" He Fengsheng smiled bitterly, "I am alone now and I am not familiar with the situation. What should I do?"

"Look for your own staff and recruit your own assistants. Are there not enough people like this in the capital city? Ask your fellow countrymen and seniors to recommend something. If you are short of money, I can lend you some temporarily..." After reading it, Looking at Fan Jingwen, Feng Ziying said: "The same goes for Meng Zhang. The sooner you get familiar with the situation, the better. Your home is not far from a big city. If you can't go back and look for something by yourself, you don't want me to help you." ?”

Fan Jingwen nodded: "I plan to solve this problem myself. Just give me a little help from Ke Yao."

"Okay, now that this matter has been settled, let me tell you in detail what needs to be done immediately and what other things need to be paid attention to." Feng Ziying nodded: "This is related to what you can do. Don’t be nervous if you can’t open up the situation quickly. This is how everyone gets here. When I arrived at Yongping Mansion, I was also a novice, and I haven’t gotten through it slowly. If you are unsure about anything, you can always tell me,..."

The three of them discussed it for a long time, and even had lunch in the government office. In the afternoon, Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng went back to make preparations and take office tomorrow.

 After sending Fan He and the others away, Feng Ziying had no time to spare. She rushed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and asked Qiao Yingjia about Wu Di.

Wu Di was recommended by Feng Ziying to serve as county magistrate in Miyun. However, the current magistrate of Miyun still had some connections, and the investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate still had no results, which made Feng Ziying a little anxious.

"I'm afraid the situation in Miyun cannot be affected for the time being." Qiao Yingjia said calmly: "Ziying, if you feel that you are short of people to help you in Shuntian Prefecture, then you don't have to be in Miyun. Other prefectures and counties are also fine. I I know you have a good relationship with Luyou,..."

Feng Ziying was quite surprised that the promised thing actually changed, and Qiao Yingjia also said this, there must be something fishy, ​​and he had solid evidence for Miyun County Magistrate Yao Yingquan's problem, so he dared to be so sure, no Thinking that something was certain, something unexpected happened.

"Master Qiao, who is causing trouble here?" Feng Ziying calmed down and asked slowly.

"You don't have to ask any more questions. How about letting Luyou go to Xianghe? It's not worse than Miyun, right?" Seeing Feng Ziying's unswerving expression, Qiao Yingjia also smiled and shook his head: "If you must go to Miyun, then you have to I have to wait until the middle of next year to go there, not now..."
