Chapter 1915: Ren Zi Juan is unexpected, a new challen

  Chapter 1915 The Renzi Juan is unexpected, a new challenge

   When Feng Ziying arrived at Qi Yongtai's residence, Qi Yongtai had just come down to court.

  All kinds of news from Shanshan and Shaanxi put pressure on the cabinet.

The refugee rebellion swept across northern Shaanxi, and even tended to spread to the east of the river. This made the Ministry of War and Shanxi very nervous. The collapse of the Shanxi Town Dongchu army led by Su Shengdu greatly reduced the strength of Shanxi Town. Once there was a rebellion in Shanxi, it would be Situations that cannot be dealt with will arise.

   One wave was not calm, and another wave rose again, and the pimple plague appeared in northern Shaanxi again. This heavy blow made the cabinet ministers dizzy.

The emergence of the plague means that the disaster caused by the drought has been somewhat out of control in the border area. It is often in this situation that the plague will spread. This is a very big threat to the local government and the border town. The challenge is to deal with rebellion and plague at the same time in a situation that is already stretched, which is too difficult for the local government.

   But in the face of this situation, the imperial court could not come up with many coping strategies.

  Any countermeasure must be based on sufficient money, food and materials. Now, in order to support the war in Shandong, the Ministry of Household Affairs has done its best. It is expected that the situation in Shandong can be resolved within half a year, and then other considerations will be considered.

  Therefore, all parties in the court debated endlessly, but they failed to come up with a practical opinion, which made Qi Yongtai very anxious.

The North is the foundation of the imperial court. Now that Jiangnan is under the control of Prince Yizhong, if Shanshan is destroyed, or even dragged down by the plague, the imperial court will fall into a collapsed situation, and it will not even be able to recover Jiangnan is about to collapse, and it will only benefit Nanjing in vain.

   "Ziying is here?" Qi Yongtai was also very happy to see Feng Ziying coming, and his tired face was a little more joyful, "Sit down, dinner is here, just in time for us to chat."

  Feng Ziying is not polite, "Okay, Master Qi, I am also going to have a good talk with you."

   "It seems that we have the same opinion." Qi Yongtai signaled Feng Ziying to take a seat, and the servant made tea. After the servant left, Qi Yongtai's face slowly became gloomy: "Shanshan has a pimple plague, you should know about it?"

  Qi Yongtai knew that Feng Ziying had his own news channel, and that Feng Tang in Shanshan had a deep connection, and news would definitely be passed on to Feng Ziying in the capital city.

   "I just found out, so I came to your residence, Master Qi, and the court also knew?" Feng Ziying asked, "Is it temporarily blocked from the outside world?"

"Well, we can't settle the dispute, and I dare not let Gyeonggi know about it, otherwise the people's hearts in Gyeonggi will be even more chaotic, and the court can't stand such a torment." Qi Yongtai sighed: "But how long can it last? After all, it is necessary to pick it apart, so the imperial court will rush to come up with countermeasures in the next few days."

   "What is your opinion, Master Qi?" Feng Ziying asked.

"Originally it was just a bandit rebellion. We planned to rely on the Yulin Army and the two towns of Shanxi and Datong to control the situation and drag it on for a while. Stopping the pace will lead to more riots and spread to Henan and North Zhili." Qi Yongtai stroked his beard and pondered, "So we need to change the course, at least to stabilize the situation in Shanxi, and prevent the riots in Shaanxi from spreading to other parts of the country." Come from Shanxi."

"How to do it specifically? If it doesn't spread to Shanxi, what if it spreads to Henan?" Feng Ziying frowned. Zhang and the others went to Shanxi to consolidate the army, but once things like the plague spread, it doesn’t make sense at all, and if you don’t pay attention, it will spread in all directions, and it’s not something you can control if you want to.”

  Qi Yongtai also felt Feng Ziying's dissatisfaction, why didn't he? But the problem is easier said than done, how to do it? Can the current local government have such a strong executive power, or the ability to organize and mobilize, can it raise enough money, food and materials to deal with it? He didn't even dare to think about it.

"Ziying, if you want to ask such a question, I can't answer you. The current situation of the imperial court is also fragmented, and the information from Shaanxi is also fragmented and contradictory. Accurate and complete situation report, Shanxi is full of rumors and panic, and..." Qi Yongtai lowered his voice: "The imperial court currently lacks enough money and food to support Shanxi. This is the biggest problem. There are materials from the south that are transported in, but they can still be done in Gyeonggi, but it will cost too much to transport them to Shanshan and Shaanxi, and it is unacceptable at all..."

Feng Ziying also admits that this is the most direct and practical difficulty, but if he gives up support and assistance to Shanshan and Shanxi because of this, the situation in Shanshan and Shanxi will become even more unmanageable, and in the end it may hurt the vitality of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so the court will continue to Difficulties, but also must find a way to support Shanshan.

   "Does Master Qi mean that the court is going to give up?" Feng Ziying became a little aggressive, "Shanshan and Shaanxi are important places in the north, and no one can accept this result..."

Qi Yongtai nodded slightly: "That's true, so the parties are still arguing, and it will take some time to learn more about the situation. The imperial court has ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to send two groups of people to Shanshan and Shanshan respectively. I have already set off, traveling day and night, I guess I have arrived in Weizhou now,..."

  Feng Ziying feels at ease, which shows that Qi Yongtai is not in a daze yet, and giving up the attitude of Shanshan and Shanxi will completely lose the foundation of popular support among civil servants in the North, Central and North.

   Aware of Qi Yongtai's hesitation to speak and the strange look on his face, Feng Ziying was also a little surprised, "Master Qi, is there something..."

Qi Yongtai pondered for a while before saying: "Ziying, we have some plans on this matter, but we didn't think of the outbreak of pimple plague before, we only considered the problem of bandit chaos, we wanted you to go to governor Shaanxi, but now there is a plague in Shaanxi ,..."

   Governor of Shaanxi? ! Feng Ziying was taken aback, how could this work? If I were the governor of Shaanxi, my duties would overlap with the governors of the three sides, and my father was the governor of the three sides, the father was the governor, and the son was the governor.

Seeing Feng Ziying's expression, Qi Yongtai understood what the other party's surprise meant, "Your father's trilateral governor was originally a temporary concurrent post, and now the Northwest Army is mainly fighting in Shandong. If you want to patrol Shaanxi, then your father's trilateral governor must be resigned." , only retain the position of governor of Jiliao."

This makes sense, but Feng Ziying, the governor of Shaanxi, has never considered it. Now that he suddenly brought it up, he was a little caught off guard, especially the plague still made Feng Ziying a little afraid. The plague is not a joke. Trick, this epidemic will not let you go just because you are a time traveler. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, it seems a bit uneconomical to take this risk.

   Judging from Qi Yongtai's current expression, they should have discussed this matter, but they haven't made up their minds yet. Feng Ziying couldn't help but wonder if he should find a reason to reject this matter.

But seeing Qi Yongtai's expectant eyes, Feng Ziying felt that he could not open his mouth for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Master Qi, it's not that I don't want to go, but that I have to do something if I go. What can I do now? I can’t just let me go to the governor with my bare hands, what’s the point of that? What can the Shaanxi chief envoy do, so what if I go?”

Qi Yongtai was slightly disappointed. He still had high expectations for Feng Ziying. He felt that such a difficult task would be a challenge and a challenge for Feng Ziying. Of course, he also admitted that what the other party said was reasonable. It doesn't make much sense to push Feng Ziying up alone without enough support, but now the court is really cash-strapped.

"Ziying, I also know that this matter is difficult. We only have a preliminary idea of ​​whether you will go to Shaanxi or not, but we don't have a plan for how to deal with it. You should think about it for me. If you want to go, no matter what Is it you, even someone else, what should the imperial court do now, as long as the capital can come up with some conditions that can be obtained, you should think about it carefully." Qi Yongtai sighed.

   The meal was tasteless, and Feng Ziying was a little absent-minded, thinking about it all the time.

For me, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective to be the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital. Qi Yongtai also mentioned that the court may appoint a new Governor of Shuntian Prefecture. This is indeed a problem. As the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, it is impossible for him to tolerate the existence of a Chancellor of Shuntian Prefecture like himself. If he refuses to give in, there will definitely be disputes, and the court is unlikely to support him.

   In other words, it is inevitable to leave by yourself.

  Where to go after leaving, there is a high probability that he will serve as the censor of the capital at the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This was revealed by Qi Yongtai, but what is the point of being a censor of the capital? Do you really want to grind your mouth like those Qingliu censors?

  This is definitely not what I want.

  Feng Ziying was thinking about this until he got home, and after thinking about it, he realized that he really didn't have much to go.

  Other students of the fifth and sixth grades have more places to go, but I am already a fourth grade, looking at the middle, and being able to set up my own yamen, it is more or less suitable.

  In this way, the governor of Shaanxi is a very suitable challenge. Of course, it is a challenge, which means that there are various risks, including the possibility of illness.

  I can take various measures to avoid it, but the chance still exists.

In addition, the governor of Shaanxi is bound to come into contact with various local government affairs. The affairs of the three divisions are all under the jurisdiction of the governor. This is also a challenge. Even with the support of the border town, it is not that simple for such a large stall in Shaanxi, especially when there is a rebellion. , when the epidemic was rampant.

   But it is also an opportunity to win people's hearts and establish a reputation.
