Chapter 706 The E-shaped scroll is justified

   "Yang Yinglong? Chieftain of Bozhou?" Zheng Chongjian's face became more and more ugly, "You two are so sure that he is going to rebel? Doesn't he still have a son in the capital?"

"Of course it's better if he doesn't rebel, and we hope so too, but some things won't depend on our will." Feng Ziying said with certainty: "We have been paying attention to the situation in the Southwest since last year. You were still in Xijiang at that time. Feixiong also put in a lot of thought, planting informants in his hometown, and got a lot of useful information and clues, not only Banzhou, Shuixi, Yongning, but several chieftains have changed, but we can't confirm it. "

  Zheng Chongjian was silent for a while, and then quietly said: "The imperial court can't afford to fight. If it can be avoided, it is best to avoid it."

   Both Feng Ziying and Wang Yingxiong's eyes fell on Zheng Chongjian. The other party must have some special reason for saying this.

"Xijiang seems to be calmed down, but Ziying, you should know that the situation in Gansu and Ningxia towns is rotten. Mr. Chai is a bit devastated. After Governor Chen takes office, he will understand that there is a civil uprising in Guyuan Town Incessantly, if Ziying's father hadn't suppressed it vigorously in Yulin Township, something would have happened long ago, and now that your father and the three You brothers have moved to Liaodong, I am worried that Governor Chen will not be able to control the situation."

  Feng Ziying felt a chill run down her back, and she couldn't help but feel horrified, but don't be afraid that something will happen in northern Shaanxi just because her father left Liaodong with a group of soldiers who are used to fighting.

  “The weather in Shaanxi has been bad in the past few years, droughts have continued, the number of refugees in northern Shaanxi has increased, civil unrest has continued, and banditry is rampant. The local government is powerless to eradicate it. It is all controlled by the frontier army. Once the frontier army can’t control it, the consequences will be disastrous.”

   Zheng Chongjian has just returned from Shaanxi not long ago, and he knows how bad the situation in Shaanxi is now.

In theory, the four towns of Gansu, Ningxia, Guyuan and Yulin belong to the capital of Shaanxi. If Chen Jingxuan is the governor of the three sides, he will be in charge of the army at the top and the people at the bottom. Once the people riot or the banditry becomes too serious, the frontier army will need to intervene. The problem is If the intervention of the frontier army cannot be controlled, it will be very dangerous.

   "Master Chen took office this time, and the imperial court also gave him a salary to support it..." Wang Yingxiong defended weakly.

"It's a drop in the bucket! It's to meet the needs of the army, not to take care of the local area! Ziying, you have also been to Gansu, Ningxia, and Yulin. You also know the situation in Guyuan. Don't you know how corrupt the local area is?" Zheng Chongjian pouted, dismissive.

  Feng Ziying was silent.

  When he returned to the capital from Xijiang, he had already realized how much money it would cost to rebuild Gansu and Ningxia.

  The harm brought by the rebellion is not only the rebellion itself, but also the destruction of local order and a lot of wealth.

If the people in these places are to be prevented from becoming refugees and then rioters and bandits, then the imperial court must not only provide relief, but also restore their daily living facilities. This cannot be done without two or three years of support, but the imperial court is now only concerned with treating headaches. How can I care about such deep-seated problems when my head and feet hurt and my feet are healed?

  Everywhere needs money, food, cloth, and salt. If there are no such basic survival materials, how can the local order be restored to calm?

  Especially when Shaanxi has been suffering from droughts for years, the people are struggling to make ends meet, which will inevitably lead to civil unrest or even rebellion.

  That’s why Zheng Chongjian said that the imperial court is almost unable to fight. The situation in Shaanxi is so bad that the imperial court can’t take care of it. Once there is another war in the southwest, how can the imperial court have the spare power to take care of other things?

It is not that the emperor, the cabinet, and even the six ministries are not aware of the difficulties in Shaanxi, but money is needed everywhere, so the emperor and the cabinet value Feng Ziying's ability to raise such a large sum of money from salt merchants and sea merchants with bare hands, even if Feng Ziying It also attracted a lot of criticism for this matter, but no matter whether it was the emperor, the cabinet or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they ignored it tacitly.

  Whoever can get money for the court will be the savior of the court now.

   "As long as the military affairs of the three sides can be stabilized, Shaanxi will not be in chaos, right?" Wang Yingxiong muttered.

"Hmph, Feixiong, you just hope that there will be no big chaos? Little chaos will turn into big chaos. If a spark is thrown into a pile of withered grass, what will happen? Don't you understand?" Zheng Chongjian said to Wang Yingxiong Not so polite anymore.

  Wang Yingxiong scratched his head, his face full of bitterness and helplessness, "But there are indeed such changes in the southwest, we must not report these situations to the court, right? Wouldn't that be deception?"

"At this time, it is still inappropriate to overly stimulate the southwest side. Maybe they have ambitions now, but I am afraid they are still observing and hesitating. What the court lacks now is time. As long as these two years pass, the situation in Shaanxi and Liaodong can be stabilized. , the franchise fee and bond income brought by Kaihai can enter the household department steadily every year, and when something happens in the Southwest, the imperial court will be much easier to deal with."

  Feng Ziying finally put forward her opinion, "So Feixiong and Uncle Fang are only collecting intelligence clues, and only a few people in the military department know about it. They are afraid of alarming the enemy and arousing Yang Yinglong's vigilance, so they simply launched a rebellion first."

"The strategy of slowing down the army is not easy to use. How long will it last? It depends on the face of others." Zheng Chongjian sighed, forced a smile, and stepped forward, "Let's go, today I have to bother Zi After a meal at Yingfu, both Uncle Fang and Feixiong said that the food at your residence is unusual and unique, I was already hungry in Shaanxi,..."

   "Come on, you are from Shanxi, how can you be uncomfortable with Shaanxi food, and you are not from the south..." Wang Yingxiong also turned back. He was also a little annoyed when this guy was rude to him earlier.

   Several people returned to the city talking and laughing, but there was a bit of heaviness and worry in their laughter.

They have all experienced several years of government affairs in the court, especially under the influence of Feng Ziying, they no longer consider issues limited to one city, one corner, and one area. They are used to looking at issues from the perspective of connection and dialectics, so they naturally understand the current situation of the court. How unfavorable the situation is.

It seems that there are no major problems anywhere, but they can feel that everywhere is like a paper lantern with air leakage. Maybe a gust of wind blows and the flames flicker, which can ignite the lantern and burn everything up. Now I can't do anything.

  This feeling is really uncomfortable.

  Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong went back after eating, leaving Feng Ziying alone in the study.

He himself didn't understand that other people who came from across the country just wanted to be popular and drink spicy food, like a fish in water, arrogant and lustful, doing everything, how could he become the first to worry about the world's worries, to benefit the country, life and death, and not to avoid it because of misfortunes and fortunes The loyal and pure ministers of the feudal dynasty?

For a while, I was worried that Liaodong was afraid that Jianzhou Jurchen would take advantage of the opportunity, and for a while, I was worried that some history in northern Shaanxi would be staged ahead of schedule, causing the dynasty to collapse. Shrunken, why do I live so hard?

   Shouldn't this be something that the chief minister of the cabinet or the emperor should worry about? That's all, I seem to have even aroused the sense of crisis of the students Zheng Chongjian, Wang Yingxiong, Lian Guoshi, and Fang Youdu, and made them follow their own thoughts consciously or unconsciously. This is the first-class pure minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  Since this is the case, what’s the matter with how many women I like? Why didn’t Emperor Yonglong grant him the title and concubine of his second wife?

  I have worked so hard for Da Zhou, shouldn't I accept more women as wives and concubines?

  Thinking of this, Feng Ziying's thoughts of being ashamed because of being too playful and lustful were suddenly thrown away, and she immediately became righteous. One day, they will understand how much they have made for Da Zhou.

  So, did you comb Yun Shang first today? Feng Ziying touched her chin, thinking so.

  ******

  Feng Ziying had long been prepared for the arrival of Huan Lao San.

   That day Baoyu went mad, and Feng Ziying didn't have time to talk to Huan Laosan, who was afraid that Huan Laosan was feeling uneasy.

After all, he is going to take the examination soon. Once he has passed the examination, Jia Huan also knows very well that he does not have the ability to participate in Qiu Wei. He is still blank in the field of current policy alone, and it is useless to go, so it is better to feel at ease. Do a good job of the scriptures in a down-to-earth manner, and wait until you enter the academy before you come to study the political theory.

   When it comes to attainments in policy theory, Qingtan Academy ranks second, but no one dares to claim first this week.

   It was just that Tanchun and Huan Laosan came together, which surprised Feng Ziying.

   You must know that Tanchun rarely comes to my house, and with my current status, a girl like Tanchun who is waiting for her husband should not show up.

   It can be seen that Tan girl has deep expectations for Jia Huan.

  Jin Chuan'er and Xiangling girls are very fond of Tanchun's arrival.

Tanchun was very popular and respected in Jia's mansion. Seeing Tanchun coming, Jin Chuan'er and Xiangling also surrounded Tanchun and talked. Feng Ziying simply asked Jin Chuan'er and Xiangling to accompany them. He talked to the third ring first.

   "Baoyu is awake?" Feng Ziying didn't quite believe it, she said it herself, if a dog can't change eating shit, can Baoyu repent?

"It is said that he is sober, learned from the pain, and confessed to the master. I don't know if it is true or not, but Brother Feng, I don't care about this now. Didn't you also say that the future of my Jia Huan is not good. It should be confined to this dry well in Rongguo Mansion,..."

  Huan Lao San's momentum was like a rainbow, but Feng Ziying couldn't help coughing twice.

  When did I say that Rongguo Mansion was a dry well? I said that I want him not to sit in the well and watch the sky, so this guy simply defined the Rongguo mansion as a dry well, and said that he said it.

   On the second day, I continued to work hard to code and ask for a monthly pass. It is estimated that I will stay at home for the eighth day of the National Day. Also recommend a friend's book, Dao Yigeng's "The Front Wave", his previous "Perfect Life", classic traditional entertainment, the same taste, you can read it if you like this kind of book.
