Chapter 2445 Guizijuan communication, wooing, cooperation

"If you don't offend people, how can you win people? Ziying's words are good." Gu Bingqian looked at Feng Ziying who came to visit with a smile on his face, "It makes sense for Yuchen to be cautious. I am from Kunshan. But there are people who dare to stroke the Shen family’s beard, hehe, how dare you go to Liangshan without twos and threes? Therefore, Ziying must be bold and careful in doing things, and both are indispensable.”

Only then did Feng Ziying realize that Gu Bingqian seemed to be from Suzhou too, but he had never heard of any relationship between the Shen family and the Gu family. It seemed that although he was from a village, the Gu family had nothing to do with the Shen family. There are quite contacts.

"Liu Jigong, we have handed over the relevant situation of this case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. In view of the current situation of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in Nanjing, Yu Chengong has sent a letter to Jingzhong, asking for more manpower to investigate and deal with the case. In addition, the trip to the south of the Yangtze River involves The case is also beyond imagination, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and even the Ministry of Officials may have felt the huge pressure, and they all wrote to ask Beijing to send more staff,..."

  Feng Ziying's words are in line with Gu Bingqian's opinion. It can be said that he has only been in Nanjing for two days, and he has already felt the turbulent momentum behind the huge victory.

  The income from money, silver, and goods far exceeded his imagination. Although this made him overjoyed, too many local government officials were involved here.

  Related matters have lasted for nearly twenty years. Many officials have retired, many officials have been promoted, and most of them are still in office. How to deal with it?

   Gu Bingqian realized the difficulty of the problem at this time.

  Sun Chengzong, Sun Dingxiang, Yang Lian and Feng Ziying all came to visit him one after another, and each talked about some opinions, but Gu Bingqian was not too satisfied.

The scope is so broad, and the imperial court asked me to come to Jiangnan, hoping that I could basically handle this round of combing and adjustment in Jiangnan, and don't take it back to the capital city. Once I get it back to Beijing, the emperor and Tang Miao and others will definitely take the opportunity to get involved, which will not achieve the purpose of the imperial court to sort out and clean Jiangnan.

  The cabinet, including Gu Bingqian himself, have long been dissatisfied with the Jiangnan officialdom.

The Nanjing Sixth Department has always been incompatible with the capital. This time it has been confirmed that the Nanjing Sixth Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be established, and the Jiangyou and Minzhe officialdoms are also leftovers from the layout of the former Prince Yizhong, also known as Wantong Emperor. Take this opportunity to come Adjustment is also necessary.

  But it is estimated that the cabinet did not expect that so many people were involved in this round, and the levels were so deep.

  I originally thought it was a problem in Jinling, Songjiang, and Yangzhou, but now it seems that I have far underestimated the degree of collusion between these Jiangnan tycoons and local officials.

As of now, there are more than 40 officials who can be confirmed on the blacklist, and less than 20% of them have retired, which means that more than 80% of the officials are still in office, and most of them have retired. Promoted to varying degrees.

   This greatly exceeded Gu Bingqian's expectations, and it also made him a little caught off guard and in a dilemma.

Gu Bingqian also knew that although Sun Chengzong was on the surface superficially respecting the Jiangnan incident, Sun Chengzong still focused more on military affairs, and Feng Ziying was in charge of many government affairs after taking Jiangnan. This situation has not changed since I came here.

But I have to say that Feng Ziying is very sophisticated. He not only took the lead, such as going to the East China Sea, but also dared to delegate power. and Yang Lian.

At the same time, he left a lot of leeway. For example, he did the preliminary work of the Zhou family, Hu family, and Tao family of the four major families well, but left the processing at the end, waiting for himself to make a decision. It can be said that this strategy is perfect. Even Gu Bingqian had to admit that this guy was really good at being an official.

   It doesn’t matter whether you want to appreciate or not like such a talent.

   Because of this, Gu Bingqian really wanted to hear Feng Ziying's opinion.

   This is no longer simply asking for opinions, but I want Feng Ziying to give me advice as my assistant.

"Well, Ziying, I know all this. To be honest, I didn't expect such a big movement in Jiangnan. I guess Ye Xiang and the others didn't consider it." Gu Bingqian got to the point, "But since they're all here , then this matter must be done well, and it is necessary to ask Beijing for help, but we can't wait, we have to do it first, and we can do it in stages and steps, according to the strategy of prioritizing the easy ones and then the difficult ones,..."

   "Liu Ji Gong, it is right to prioritize, but it is not necessarily easy to do it first." Feng Ziying shook her head.

   "Oh?" Gu Bingqian raised his eyebrows, "Do you think there are some things that cannot be delayed?"

"Yes, in the south of the Yangtze River, the core state capital cannot be lost. If it is delayed, it will change. It is also related to the issue of land tax and grain grain entering Beijing in the second half of the year. It will be settled quickly. Since the cabinet has given you the right to make decisions, Mr. Liu Ji, Brother Zishu is also here, representing the Ministry of Officials, and Sun Yang, two representatives of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Why can't they make a decision? You are not a third-rank minister and you need cabinet discussions. Liu Jigong, you can brainstorm and make a decision. I believe the cabinet will understand and approve of your decision."

  Feng Ziying's suggestion moved Gu Bingqian a little.

That's right, both Ye Fang and Ye Fang had talked with him before leaving. The Jiangnan officialdom needs to be sorted out, and when necessary, they can make decisions on behalf of the cabinet. With some list, but now it seems more than that?

Now alone, the prefects and prefectures of Yangzhou, Huzhou, Changzhou, Jinhua, Ningbo, Ningguo, Zhenjiang, and Guangde have problems, and the problems are not small. It doesn't mean that Gu Bingqian needs to make a decision immediately for officials from Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, but if it is delayed until he returns to Beijing, it will definitely not work.

  Gu Bingqian reckoned that he would have to go back to Beijing at least by the end of the year, and many places could not afford to delay this half a year, especially when it came to autumn Fu and grain.

Although the prefects of Yangzhou, Huzhou, Ningbo, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou are only fourth-rank officials, they are not easily decided by themselves. If there is a contingency change, the cabinet may also recognize it, but if it is five or six, it will definitely not work.

Of course, what Feng Ziying said also has some truths, brainstorming, leading by oneself, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Procuratorate and the Ministry of War have people present, and even if the cabinet has some objections to the plan, the basic plate will not change. This opinion is true Can.

Observing that Gu Bingqian was a little moved, Feng Ziying struck while the iron was hot: "The cabinet doesn't want to have too much entanglement in these matters. The two of you, Tang and Yao, probably haven't gotten into the mood yet. If you really want to discuss it repeatedly in the cabinet, I'm afraid it will backfire. Second Prime Minister Ye Fang You should understand this truth. After all, we are on the front line and know the situation here best. Since we are sent here, it means that we have a lot of trust in us, not to mention that we have overfulfilled the first mission for the imperial court. , Ye Fang Erxiang and Hubu can also sleep peacefully."

Feng Ziying's reminder made Gu Bingqian's heart brighten. Yes, he has achieved good results, which are higher than the best expectations of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Of course, the cabinet should have enough trust in him. This is also his own. Emboldened.

   With this thought in mind, Gu Bingqian's mood improved, and he became more concerned about the amount of property that the Zhen family was going to hand over and Feng Ziying's plan for the Zhen family's disposal.

"Ziying, I know that it's common for you to admire Ai when you were young. It's nothing more than Li Shouzhong's twin sisters. You don't care too much about Li Shouzhong. I'm from Kunshan, and I've heard of it. , but the Zhen family can't escape the law now, you can wait until their female relatives are sent to Jiaofang Secretary before dealing with it, why do such reckless actions, it will only increase trouble."

  Gu Bingqian really did it for Feng Ziying's good, and there are really only two people who can get him to say so blatantly.

Feng Ziying could only smile embarrassingly, "Liu Jigong, boy Meng Lang, you have caused trouble for Liu Jigong, but the Zhen family has indeed shown sincerity, and Liu Jigong must have seen the content of the Zhen family's confession." ,..."

Gu Bingqian also knows that he is also a third-rank official. Although he is young and lustful, but a gentleman does not take advantage of others, so he is good at it. After everything is done, it is enough to say it once, and beep beep Not suitable anymore.

   Not to mention which man is not a little elegant?

   It is not a secret that Feng Ziying and Wang Ziteng's niece, that is, the wife of Jia's family, also divorced, had an affair, took her as a concubine, and even gave birth to a son.

   I don’t know why this one likes these married women. Such elegance is even more surprising than liking for men.

"Well, I saw it, can it be honored?" Gu Bingqian pondered and said: "The data reported to the imperial court is still being verified one by one. After the report is submitted, there must be more and no less, otherwise you and I It’s hard to explain.”

"It shouldn't be a problem. Captain Long and people from Jinling Mansion are helping to clean up and dispose of it. The Zhen family should also understand that this is their only chance to save the Zhen family. Looking at the situation of the Zhou family, they should be content. "Feng Ziying said.

  The Zhou family was ransacked by Long Jinwei and He Ren Longbu with lightning speed. All members of the Zhou family were thrown into prison, and a large amount of stolen property was seized.

It has been confirmed that the Zhou family and multiple water bandits in the Yangtze River colluded to commit crimes, involving Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou, Songjiang, Anqing, and Chizhou, and involving more than 60 lives. It can be said that the main crimes of men in the Zhou family It's all a certainty, it's a dead end.
