Qian Ruoshui, Yao Yigong, and Wang Ji were assigned to different positions. They were not high-ranking officials. Qian Ruoshui, who had the highest rank, was also the Zhenzhou judge. He had not yet entered the "Zhengzhou" level. Yao and Wang were still county-level officials.

In a recent batch of inspections on the performance and functions of state and county bureaucrats across the country, the three ranked among the best, becoming the best among more than 100 local officials, and were submitted to the Political Affairs Hall for review as the first wave of promotion lists.

And these three, being specifically pointed out by Prince Liu Yang, naturally have some "intrinsic" connection.Qian Ruoshui once worked in Dali Temple and was known for his clean work at that time. When he got to the place and made some achievements, it was natural for him to be promoted.

As for Yao Yigong and Wang Ji, they are a bit special. It is not that they were born as Jinshi in the same discipline, but that they were both selected by the prince to serve as Lang officials in the East Palace, and were later transferred to other places. It can be said that Yao, The two Wangs were trained by the prince.

There are people in the court who like to be officials. When that "person" is the prince of the state, and he has certain talents, how can he be rewarded and promoted without them?In fact, putting Qian Ruoshui and the two together was to make the prince appear less partial in this matter.

At this time, in addition to the prince, there were four ministers in Guangzheng Hall.Zhao Kuangyi, who is in office, remains as deep as ever; Zhao Pu, the old prime minister with hair as white as snow and mottled face, looks drowsy; Lu Duan, who is as dignified and dignified as ever; and Song Zhun, the new governor of Luoyang who has just taken office .

"Qian Ruoshui is Qinggan, Yao Yigong is Kuanji, and Wang Ji is fierce. The three have different styles, but they also have their own methods of governing the people. What is even more valuable is that they can correctly understand and implement the will of the imperial court." Liu Yang's eyes fell on Lu He stood up and praised the three of them.

Hearing the elegant meaning of Xiange, Lu Duan stood up and said calmly and calmly: "Back to Your Highness, regarding the next arrangements for the three of them, the Ministry of Officials has completed the review. Qian Ruoshui knew Fenzhou, Yao Yigong moved to Zhuozhou, and Wang Jicheng transferred to Tongzhou! "

Hearing this, Liu Yang obviously hesitated. He pondered for a while, then raised his finger and gave instructions: "For officials like this, who are entrusted with ordinary state duties, they are of course following the steps, and I believe they can live up to the entrustment. However, His Majesty once said As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the edge of the knife. Now, in the local states, where is the greatest shortage of talents?"

Who is Lu Duan? He could already hear something from the prince's words. After thinking for a moment, he asked for instructions: "Your Highness, please give me instructions!"

Liu Yang said directly: "Isn't there still some vacancies in Helong, which is giving the officials a headache? Then send all three of them! The northwest can be a grind."

"Yes!" Lu Duan responded solemnly, paying attention to Liu Yang's expression.

However, the prince's last sigh left Lu Duan with endless aftertaste. The northwest can indeed be a source of pain, but it can also be cannibalistic. For most officials in the world, the northwest is not a good place, and can even be said to be a bad place.

Over the years, it is difficult to know how many talented officials have fallen from the northwest officialdom and how many young talents have been buried. Even Lu Duan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, cannot know without checking the archives.

In the first year of Kaibao, if we look at the changes in the officialdom, the dramatic upheavals, and the constant attention of the court, I am afraid that only the Northwest Dao can be counted.

The Northwest is indeed a melting pot. It is very difficult for normal people to break out without peeling off their skin.The current situation in He and Long is even more bizarre, and the task pressure is also heavy.

After the end of the Western Expedition, there is a need to recuperate and recuperate. This is a laborious matter. The key is to deal with those "Western Expedition faction";
At the same time, the tax reform work has to be pushed forward. This is also a way to lick the wounds, and it is also a declaration of war against vested interests. A struggle between reformers and conservatives is inevitable, and with the officialdom of the northwest Urinary tract disease will never pass smoothly. Strictly speaking, the opposition to Pan You's reforms in Gyeonggi Province was very mild;
Another point is that local powerful and clan forces need to be suppressed to a certain extent. With the court's rectification of the northwest officialdom several times, some local forces are indeed on the rise, using their best and most accustomed methods to hide in the shadows. Compete with the court.

This round of reorganization is very different from the past, that is, all vacant official positions at prefecture and county level and above are all transferred from outside, either from the capital or from outside the prefecture, that is, no prefecture or county official is Promote from home.The court's attitude is quite clear. This is an indiscriminate attack in Helong. Because of this, the personnel arrangements in Helong have not been adjusted yet.

Under this premise, the quality requirements for local officials in Helong are very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to grasp them.It is conceivable that the northwest will not stop in the next few years. A fierce struggle between the outside faction and the local faction has been brewing since the personnel adjustment of the court.
Under this background, Liu Yang decided to put Qian, Yao, and Wang in Helong. This is certainly a kind of recognition and respect, but it is also a test.

For the three of them, it is difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.No one can say whether these three pieces of good steel will be forged into a powerful weapon for the country in the future, or whether they will be melted and disintegrated.
The summer rain outside the hall was still pouring down, and the sound of the rain gave people a roaring feeling.Liu Yangke took into account the strange thoughts behind Lu Duan's cautious face and slowly walked to the window with his hands behind his back. He stretched out his hand to push the window lattice half open, and dense raindrops hit his face with the wind.
Looking at the rain and mist outside, Liu Yang frowned and sighed: "Fire and water are merciless! Every time it rains like this, it makes people tremble!"

"Your Highness is concerned about the country and the people, and I admire you all!" The person who started to compliment was Song Zhun, the newly appointed Yin of Luoyang Prefecture.

After Lu Mengzheng was demoted, the vacated Luoyang Mansion naturally went through some overt and covert struggles. The person who finally won this key position was Song Zhun, the Salt and Iron Envoy of the time.

Song Zhun is not young, and his abilities are not that amazing. His qualifications in the court are more junior. However, the favor of the number one scholar + the prince is enough for him to win among many opponents.

Heavy rains caused disasters. This time Song Zhun came to the political hall to report on the preparations made by Luoyang Mansion to prevent floods. At the same time, he came to seek the deployment of some official reserves and emergency supplies, as well as the command and cooperation of the emergency disaster relief troops under the Inspection Department. .

As the imperial capital, the bureaucrats still pay more attention to such matters. After all, the capital cannot be flooded, especially Song Zhun. He has only taken office not long ago, and he does not dare to be careless at all. Luoshui is going through the mighty way. The city passed by and did not allow any major omissions in this matter.

For Song Zhun, Liu Yang obviously still had great trust in him and said directly: "I am not overly worried about the capital. With Song Qing and the princes here, and the capital's abundant manpower reserves, I expect that we can survive safely! What I am worried about is the lower reaches of the river. Every year during the rainy season, the prefectures and counties along the river are inevitably affected by disasters, and this year’s rainfall seems a bit unusual.”

Liu Yang's worries are also justified. In recent years, there have been constant minor disasters along the Yellow River. Although the losses of officials and people were considerable, they were not to the extent of causing serious damage to their muscles and bones.

It has been almost 20 years since the last major flood in the Yellow River was still in the Kaibao decade. The river has been peaceful for so long. To be fair, it is normal for it to suddenly become angry.

China has always been a country prone to disasters.At the same time, what makes Liu Yang even more worried is that after so many years, are the flood control and discharge facilities along the coast still reliable and adequate for use?Regarding this, Liu Yang has no confidence at all.

Sensing the prince's worry, several ministers present could not help but look grave.Zhao Pu, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, slowly opened his eyes at this time, looked around, looked at Liu Yang, and said in an old voice: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, the political affairs hall has issued orders, Xiaoling Prefectures and counties along the river must be on strict alert!"

"Just reminding is far from enough!" After hearing what Zhao Pu said, Liu Yang immediately turned around and said seriously: "Immediately select people and send the censor to patrol the river to supervise nearby. At the same time, let the surrounding Daozhou do their best. We plan to rescue people and provide disaster relief as soon as the water situation is out of control! If the Yellow and Huaihe Rivers are integrated and the river is unstable, how can the Huaihe River be peaceful? The two Huaihe areas must also be reminded!"

After a pause, Liu Yang turned to Zhao Kuangyi and said: "Tokyo, Mr. Guangyang will go to Tokyo to take charge!"
