Number of People

  Chapter 2135 The way to employ people in the Guizi scroll, choose the feasible one

  Feng Ziying finally felt that the reason why the governor was regarded as a temporary position was not without reason.

  Because I don't have a complete administrative bureaucratic system structure under my command.

  Provincial-level government envoys, procuratorial commissions, and command envoys are not directly subordinate institutions of their own.

   It was announced that the Department of Political Envoys was responsible for the other five ministries except the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment.

My own governor was appointed by the cabinet, nominally on the orders of the emperor, but with the title of the right servant of the Ministry of War and the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. That is to say, my scope of authority is mainly in charge of military affairs and visiting officials , but in essence they have to be responsible to the cabinet, and they have to take responsibility for the military and political affairs of the entire province of Shaanxi.

  But whether there is a permanent administrative organization and personnel under his hand, it is embarrassing to have to rely on the chief minister, the inspector and the capital to implement it.

  The three divisions are all in Xi'an, but I am in Yan'an.

   Moreover, Lu Chuan, the Zuo Buzheng envoy of the Xuanzheng Envoy Division, is a second-rank official. Even if he does a good job in Shaanxi, he will be promoted to the third rank at most when he goes back, which is one level behind Lu Chuan.

  Of course, this is just a title, not important. The governor exercises power on behalf of the emperor and the cabinet.

   But obedience is simply obedience to authority and duty, not to the person.

  As a junior like myself, whether it is Lu Chuan or Sun Yijie, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince him.

   On the contrary, Xie Zhenye should be willing to obey him, and the affairs of the capital are almost banned, which makes Zheng Chongjian, Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu very satisfied.

  However, as a governor, it is not impossible to directly target the prefecture level, but it seems not so legitimate.

  If the chief officials at the prefectural level are very cooperative and supportive, it will be easy to handle, but if they are not salty, not so cooperative, and need to be reported to the third department at every turn, then the efficiency will drop a lot at once.

  There is no problem in Yan'an Mansion, Pan Ruzhen has completely devoted herself to herself, so everything is going smoothly, but what about Xi'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Pingliang Mansion?

  That may not be the case.

  But Feng Ziying is not in a hurry now, everything is difficult at the beginning, and I have already made a good head start.

  From Wubao to Fushi, from Pan Ruzhen to Xia Zhiling, as well as Xu Junyang from Mizhi and Yuan Wanquan from Jiazhou, they have all shown a tendency to vote for their side.

  Wu Degui, the prefect of Suide, was still a little hypocritical, but Feng Ziying believed that he would not last long, but felt that Lu Chuan had given him some hope.

When he realized that it was impossible for Lu Chuan to focus on them, the chief officials of the prefectures and counties, and had to consider how to be marginalized by himself, they should understand that the sky in Shaanxi has changed, and that the era of Feng Ziying, who belonged to him, is rolling away. Come on, no one can stop it.

  The magistrates of Shenmu and Fugu have also been here.

Feng Ziying didn't care too much about these two counties in the northeast corner of northern Shaanxi, because they were directly under the shadow of the Yulin Army, and even the rebellious army could only make small troubles in the fringe areas, and they couldn't make much trouble. , the only thing to worry about is the spread of pimple plague.

"It just so happens that both of you are here, Mr. Shen and Mr. Qi. I am quite satisfied with the situation in your two counties, and I don't make too high demands. There is only one thing. I want to ban the pimple plague completely. I will give you the prescription. It has been prepared by people. The relevant medicinal materials are not expensive or difficult to find. The key is to eradicate the transmission route and completely eradicate the rat infestation in this area... This is what the old Qi Ge and the official minister organized Qingtan Academy to do. The "Preparation for Epidemic Prevention" written by myself, although a little shallow and rough, can be regarded as some ideas, the two of you can take a look,..."

After sending the magistrates of Shenmu and Fugu counties to the door, Feng Ziying bowed solemnly: "I will leave this matter to the two adults. The food from Datong, the two adults can take part of it as we agreed. Use it for relief, but remember, it needs to be measured, next summer harvest is still early, and you can’t use it up in a hurry, then you will be blinded by then.”

  Shen Qi and the two magistrates also hurriedly returned the gift, vowing to complete the task according to the governor's request, and then left.

Feng Ziying also didn't have much hope for these two men. One was in her fifties and was in poor health. He was still interested in corn planting, so Feng Ziying took a high look at him.

  Feng Ziying feels that she is a bit like the secretary of the municipal party committee of later generations. She mainly meets cadres, talks, talks, inspects, communicates, understands, determines the goals of doing things, and teaches methods of doing things.

   And what is Pan Ruzhen? The mayor is mainly responsible for implementation. After thinking about it like this, I really think it's a bit interesting.

  As soon as the two left, Wang Wenyan, the "Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee" and "Minister of Organization", came.

  As Feng Ziying's most trusted staff member, Wang Wenyan is responsible for making suggestions and suggestions for various tasks, and it can be said that he cannot do without it even for a moment.

  All the intelligence should be collected and judged here, and conclusions and opinions should be given. At the same time, he should participate in the analysis and prediction of many affairs for further deployment consideration.

At the same time, through Wang Wenyan's half-year intelligence collection in Shaanxi in the early stage, he also has a rough understanding of the cadres in the whole province of Shaanxi, especially the officials of some key areas and key yamen. Provided to Feng Ziying as a reference.

For example, the prefects of two important prefectures, Xu Liangyan and Pan Ruzhen, as well as the prefects of Qingyang and Pingliang, and the magistrates of Suidezhou, Mizhi County, Jiazhou, Yaozhou, Pucheng, Tongzhou, and Huazhou. For example, the left and right of the chief envoy participated in the political affairs. These officials, according to the deputy envoys of the procuratorate, and some soldiers were all officials who had been specially instructed by Feng Ziying to collect intelligence when Wang Wenyan first came to Xi'an to fight the front station.

In this era, there is little value in the documents and materials that are kept in the Ministry of Officials for the situation of officials. It is just that some annual assessments are too watery. Evaluation judgment is more practical.

   "Classical, how about Qi Suzhen?"

"It's okay." Wang Wenyan thought for a while, and replied: "Master Qi seems to be from Yanzhou, Shandong. I can't remember whether it is Yutai or Jinxiang. Anyway, it should be on the side of Nanzhi. It should be He is a Juren in the thirty-eighth year of Yuanxi, he is honest, but too upright,..."

Wang Wenyan, an important official in Shaanxi Province, does not dare to say that all of them are imprinted in his mind, but he knows most of the prefectural and county magistrates in Yan'an and Xi'an prefectures. I am also familiar with it, and only a few key points are known about other prefectures.

   "Well, Shicheng, Fangzheng, how are you doing?" Feng Ziying thought for a while.

   "Do things with a strict eye, and the instructions of Shangfeng can be implemented in place..." Wang Wenyan thought for a while before saying.

"Well, he volunteered to try to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn in Fugu. I think it's quite rare. I think Fugu is close to the east of the river, and the conditions are not bad. It just happens to be a good place to experiment with these three kinds of civilizations. It’s more suitable than Fushi’s side.” Feng Ziying pursed her lips, her eyebrows frowned slightly, “Furthermore, Fugu is close to Yulin Town and Shanxi Town, and the planting and promotion will be effective, so that the soldiers in Yulin Town and Shanxi Town can also try something new, by the way. Feel the benefits and facilitate promotion.”

"Well, if we can replace Yulin's military rations with locally produced potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, that would be a great event. Just saving the cost of military ration transportation is an unimaginable figure, even if it can replace half of the rations." Or 30%, that's an incredible feat." Wang Wenyan obviously could think of the benefits behind this.

The military rations for the three sides and four towns are basically borne by the taxes in summer and autumn in Shaanxi, but it is definitely not enough. It is said that it is transferred from Shanxi and Henan. Even if it is imported from southern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, the transportation cost is not small. If we can rely on the popularization and promotion of planting in the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi to reduce the pressure of Sinotrans, the cost savings will not be a small amount, and it will also greatly reduce the pressure on local labor.

"In classical Chinese, carefully select the officials of our three prefectures in northern Shaanxi, especially the magistrates of counties and prefectures, who are effective in doing things, who are considerate of people's livelihood, and are not so greedy. The next step is to promote these crops next year. Considering the prefectures and counties where these officials are located, this is the key to whether we in Shaanxi can avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future." Feng Ziying thought a little too far.

The great uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty mainly broke out in northern Shaanxi, and later became popular in Shanxi and Henan. In fact, after the severe drought, the victims and hungry people could not make a living. At that time, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn had not yet been introduced, or they were not in the country at all. The promotion and popularization in these areas is at best some sporadic planting in the coastal areas, and it is even regarded as a curiosity for the rich.

   But when these three types of high-yield, drought-tolerant and barren crops were widely promoted in the north, it was already the time of Qianlong and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. The skyrocketing population may not be without the credit of these crops.

Feng Ziying did not expect the population of Shaanxi to skyrocket rapidly, but if the promotion of these three types of crops by administrative means is effective, at least it can largely avoid the civil unrest that may be caused by the severe drought and the people’s livelihood and unsustainability, and then resolve this risk. possible.

  Wang Wenyan was a little misunderstood by Feng Ziying's words. He thought Feng Ziying was talking about the current civil unrest in Shaanxi, but that's about the same. Isn't the current unrest in Shaanxi caused by food shortage? Of course, another important factor is the tyranny of the landlords and the harshness and greed of the officials, both of which are indispensable.
