Chapter 1988: Gui Zi Juan lays out the market outlook and cultivates a team

Fang Youdu snorted, glanced sideways at Feng Ziying, and then said in a neutral tone: "There are so many people in the Jia family, you can persuade the minister and the minister to release them all, how can a woman just let them go?" Are you stumped?"

Feng Ziying said angrily: "Is that the same?"

"Why is it different?" Fang Youdu sneered: "What is your purpose? Isn't it just that you have fallen in love with this woman? As long as you prevent her from being sent to the Jiaofang Department, everything else doesn't matter, right? She is like this Since you can’t get rid of your identity as a convict’s wife, then don’t waste your connections by wasting your time, why not make a fuss about the execution...”

Feng Ziying's eyes lit up and she suddenly became enlightened, "Uncle Fang, you mean..."

"Since she can't get rid of being a concubine, then she should take the route of Dali Temple and get the sentence earlier. Sentence to exile in the border area will be worse than death in the eyes of others. As long as you take care of it, it won't be a problem. You don't want to Are you going to Shaanxi? Let Dali Temple sentence you to exile in Guyuan or Gansu. I am afraid that for ordinary people, it is better to go to Jiaofangsi. If you are attracted by that benefactor, you can still escape the sea of ​​​​fire and at least live a normal life. Go If you live in the borderland, you will only die in the borderland."

After all, he was from the Ministry of Punishment, so Fang Youdu easily came up with a countermeasure.

"If you don't want to come forward here, just find someone to say hello to Dali Temple and get the verdict as soon as possible. I will handle the rest for you and arrange for people to be escorted along the way. It will be more difficult to travel thousands of miles. When we get to your territory in Shaanxi, why don't you just arrange and deal with it as you please? Governor Dangtang, I don't believe that if you say hello to the Procuratorate or the government, how can people buy it? You don't need to come forward at all for these things. Your staff can handle everything for you."

Feng Ziying secretly sighed in her heart. Even someone like Fang Youdu, who had only been an official for a few years, was well aware of the operating techniques in the following criminal affairs. This shows how bad the state of Zhou's officialdom has become. It's just that he But he also has to rely on the other party to give him advice and use power for personal gain.

It's a bit funny to say that yesterday I was giving advice to the Qi Teachers on how to clean up the officials, and I even planned to pilot it in Shaanxi. Today I am about to engage in such a favoritism and perversion of the law. No, this cannot be regarded as a favoritism and perversion of the law. It's probably just a side shot.

 So everyone knows how to be lenient with oneself and strict with others, but it would be difficult to do the reverse. But how could he not save Shi Xiangyun?

Or do you feel that this is the unfair implication policy of the imperial court, which is why you have to make such a move, and you are forced to do so?

Feng Ziying shook her head subconsciously. This statement was too far-fetched.

"Why, Ziying, my opinion doesn't work?" Fang Youdu asked in surprise when he saw Feng Ziying shaking his head and sighing. This was the best countermeasure he could come up with. After all, Shi's identity as a female was too sensitive. It is impossible to completely escape guilt.

“It’s not that it’s impossible, but I feel that Uncle Fang, you have only been in the Ministry of Punishment for a few years, and now you have learned all the tricks of subordinate officials.” Feng Ziying said with emotion, “This is very different from our original intention.”

Fang Youdu was also startled. He hesitated for a moment before sighing: "Who is not like this? I had a small gathering with Lu You and Ke Yao a few days ago. When we talked about our respective situations at the banquet, I felt that they also felt that the longer they worked down there, the more time they spent working there. , the more I realized how unrealistic my previous imaginations were, and how difficult it was to do something practical. The colleagues around them, the gentry in the county, and the people all brought various problems to them, which also made them feel a little confused. ,…”

“Confused?” Feng Ziying asked in surprise: “How do you say that?”

"That's because there are too many things. The officials, soldiers, soldiers, industry and commerce are all in trouble. Many of them are problems left over for many years. To do things, you need support from above, cooperation from colleagues, and support from the gentry. , it is too difficult for the people to understand, but there are so many things, it is difficult to prioritize, and there are also deviations in everyone's cognition. What the gentry thinks, what the people think, and what is urged by the superiors may not be in line, which one comes first, which one lasts, It is difficult to coordinate who is lighter and who is heavier,..."

 Perhaps he was deeply impressed by Wu Yan and He Fengsheng's venting of complaints that day, so Fang Youdu also rambled on and gave an overview of the conversation between the three of them that day.

“They also complain that you only care about doing things according to the requirements of the court, regardless of the actual difficulties and life and death below. Just obey the overall situation, which is easier said than done. But they also admit that you are also forced to do many things, and you have no control over many things..."

Feng Ziying laughed. This is a problem that every student who goes to work in prefectures and counties has to face. Just like if he just arrived in Yongping Mansion, wouldn't he also have to face various problems?

 In a sense, I am better off. After all, I am the same magistrate, and they will be the magistrate when they go there. That means they have to deal with one side alone, and the challenge is even greater.

 But they all survived.

Regardless of whether it was He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen or Wu Zong, although they complained profusely every time they met, no one delayed the things they had explained. Various affairs in the county were also progressing in an orderly manner, and even among the three of them, Competing quietly, this healthy competition also encourages them to do things with fuller enthusiasm.

However, it is indeed time for the assessment mechanism from the province to the prefecture to be reformed. I hope that the practical advice I gave Qi Yongtai this time will impress him. Even if it cannot be promoted immediately, it should be considered. How to do this?

 After Fang Youdu’s suggestion, Feng Ziying immediately went to find Zhou Chaorui, a fellow from Dali Temple.

Zhou Chaorui has a somewhat upright temperament, but no matter how upright he is, he can't match the friendship between his fellow villagers. What's more, it seems that the punishment of exile is more severe. As for Feng Ziying's proposal of being exiled to Gansu or Guyuan, it is also a common sense move.

 The directions of exile in the Great Zhou Dynasty were divided into three directions, one was the northeast, the other was the northwest, and the other was the southwest. It was not easy to live anywhere. In comparison, Liaodong might be considered the best.

After Zhou Chaorui agreed, Feng Ziying handed over the matter to Fang Youdu for implementation, which would take some time.

As the news from Shaanxi begins to ferment, it means that Qi Yongtai will soon discuss with Ye Fang and come up with specific countermeasures at court. Once Feng Ziying is finalized to inspect Shaanxi, it will take up to half a month. Feng Ziying is about to embark on the road to Shaanxi.

 For Feng Ziying, these twenty days are probably his last happy days, but he also needs to deal with various Shuntian Mansion and family affairs during this period.

It is still uncertain who will succeed Shuntian Fuyin and Shuntian Fucheng. Feng Ziying once considered recommending Lian Guoshi, but it is obvious that the court cannot be promoted across levels like he did, jumping from the fifth rank to the fourth rank again, let alone practicing The time for state affairs to reach Yongping Mansion is also relatively short. The situation has just opened up and it is unlikely to make further adjustments.

There are many people who want to come to Shuntian Prefecture to be Fu Yin and Fu Cheng, and the court is not short of such officials, but whether they can do this well is another matter.

Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe are interested in Li Banghua, but Feng Ziying is not optimistic about it. This is also a character who is more talented than practical. He is not suitable for such an important position as Shuntian Fu Yin, but it is not up to him.

In addition, he also needs to think about it for Fu Shi. Fu Shi is now the general judge of Shuntian Mansion and is in the sixth rank. If he wants to advance to a higher level, there are two main places to go. One is to go to the seventh division. Yuanwailang all starts from the fifth rank. The other is to go to a local state as the chief official to know the state, also from the fifth rank.

Feng Ziying knew that Fu Shi was definitely willing to go to the Seventh Division. Everyone knew that with a little polish in the Seventh Division, it would be too easy to move to another place. Upgrading to one level was the minimum, and generally those who performed slightly better were even Upgraded by two levels, that is to say, if he has served as a member of the Seventh Department for several years and wants to move to another place, he will usually start from the fourth level.

You can go directly to the Provincial Envoys of various provinces to serve as counselors, or you can continue to be promoted to doctor in various ministries. In fact, the fifth rank in Beijing is not inferior to the fourth rank in the local area, and is even more coveted. Of course, you can also go to various provinces. If you are punished and inspected, you can be considered a relatively poor person.

Feng Ziying actually hoped that Fu Shi could go to the prefectures to serve as magistrates. Yanqing Prefecture and Baoan Prefecture in Beizhi Province were both very suitable.

But this still depends on Fu Shi himself. If Fu Shi prefers to go to the Seventh Department, Feng Ziying is willing to give him a push. Even if he can't go to key departments like the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Finance, he can still go to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Commerce. , he is still somewhat sure.

Fang Kezhuang, the magistrate of Tongzhou, was also one of the first officials to move closer to Feng Ziying. In addition, he and Feng Ziying were fellow Shandong fellows. Duofang Kezhuang also supported Feng Ziying very much this year. However, Fang Kezhuang's reputation as a provincial magistrate was somewhat lower. Feng Ziying intends to recommend him to take over Fu Shi's position, to be promoted one level to take over as general judge, or to jump out and work in other slightly inferior prefectures, such as smaller prefectures further south, such as Shunde Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture and Daming Prefecture went to serve as Tongzhi.

This is equivalent to two levels in a row, but Feng Ziying is very optimistic about Fang Kezhuang's strong character. Fang Kezhuang can quickly control the situation on the water and land dock in Tongzhou, which is enough to show his courage and ability. So in a smaller mansion If you go up to Tongzhi, you can also have an explanation.

In the more than a year since he served as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, these two officials were the only ones Feng Ziying liked. Fang Kezhuang had a more powerful and courageous personality than Fu Shi, and he also had rules and regulations in doing things. Fu Shi was meticulous and rigorous in doing things, and was very Diligent, but not as courageous and responsible as Fang Kezhuang, but Fang Kezhuang has a more irritable personality. It can be said that both of them have obvious advantages and disadvantages, but Feng Ziying believes that talents are hard to find, and these are the only two people she can contact and like. .
