Number of People

  Chapter 97 B Scroll The morning dew waits for the sun to be a political genius?

   Today, Feng Ziying's words are more like pulling away the layer of tulle that has been half hidden and half visible in front of her.

  Qi Yongtai thinks that the emperor has actually noticed many things, but in this specific situation, he can't do too much.

It seems that only Li Sancai was promoted, but in fact, he was promoted from Youqian Capital Censor to You Deputy Capital Censor, and concurrently served as the governor of the river, and the governor of the river was actually a matter that had been agreed a long time ago, but it did not happen this time. He will also be in charge of the civil uprising in Shandong.

  Only the right deputy capital censor can be regarded as the recognition of his performance.

   But there was no movement towards Qiao Yingjia, the "hero". Now it seems that this is also the emperor's intention to downplay the influence in this regard, so as to avoid unnecessary speculation, but the high praise for Feng Ziying is even more meaningful.

   This guy is after Wu Xun. Everyone knows that Wu Xun is the foundation of the Supreme Emperor, and his performance does not mean anything no matter how much the court praises him.

  But now this one came to Qingtan Academy to study again, which can make people imagine again.

   All in all, this guy has become an extremely unique existence now, and any action of this guy can attract careful consideration from all parties.

  Having figured this out, Qi Yongtai also had to admire himself, a fellow subject, for recommending Feng Ziying to Qingtan Academy, which was extremely clever.

  Nodding slightly, although Qi Yongtai's eyes are full of appreciation, he also knows that this son's coming to Qingtan Academy is a double-edged sword.

   It doesn't seem like much now, but Qi Yongtai believes that many people are already paying attention to this son's study trip at Qingtan Academy, and in the future, every bit of this son's study at Qingtan Academy may be passed on to all parties.

   It's just that Qi Yongtai has never been afraid of these characters. Since he came to be the head of Qingtan Academy, he has long been mentally prepared to face everything.

   "Then based on what you saw and heard during your trip to Shandong, have you ever felt these ills of our Great Zhou?" Qi Yongtai's tone became sharper, his eyes were like torches, and he looked directly at the other party.

  He still needs to test this son's courage. This courage is not simply the courage to fight with courage, but to test the political courage behind his political insight.

  This question was asked in a tricky and powerful way, which made it difficult for Feng Ziying to answer.

If there is nothing to discover, I am afraid that Qi Yongtai will be a little disappointed and feel timid. A lot of unnecessary trouble.

  Feng Ziying never expected that Qingtan Academy would be a pool of still water. The surface of the water may seem calm, but there may be too many waves hidden under the water.

   After thinking about it, Feng Ziying also knew that this question could not be avoided, but he needed to think about how to answer it to achieve the best results.

"Shanchang, I don't think this problem is actually a problem. Where can you say that it has no problems at all? And many problems are definitely not caused by a certain person or official. The so-called freezing three feet is not caused by a day's cold. There are many factors,…”

  Feng Ziying didn’t dare to go too deep, and if she continued, she would only use two aspects of materialist dialectics to explain it. Then Qi Yongtai probably suspected that he was a political opponent with ulterior motives and sent him a special post to say this.

No twelve-year-old person can achieve such insight into politics. Although to Feng Ziying, who has studied political economy, many truths are actually very common in later generations, but now, it is deafening and shocking. theory.

   But Qi Yongtai was dissatisfied with these words, which were too vague and ambiguous.

  If an old official said so, no problem, how did this guy learn this trick at the age of twelve or thirteen?

  Seeing Qi Yongtai frowned, Feng Ziying also knew that her words could not satisfy him.

   It seems that I have to put out some dry goods, otherwise I will be sorry for Qiao Yingjia's praise of herself in the letter, and it will also not be conducive to quickly opening up the situation in the academy in the future and establishing my own position.

"Shan Zhang, then I will simply share some of my views on some things I encountered during my trip to Shandong. It may not be correct and accurate, so please take it lightly." Feng Ziying cleared her throat, "First of all, it is the dispute between the court and the local authorities. The cooperation is not coordinated, the rift is deepening,..."

"...Take the establishment of the tax supervisor as an example, not to say whether the reason for the establishment of the tax supervisor is correct or not, but since the imperial court has established it, how to coordinate with the local government? Well, there is no communication mechanism and coping mechanism at all, but each goes their own way. Otherwise, the signs of civil uprising in Linqing have already existed. The wharves, weaving households, kiln households, and merchants in Linqing City are all dissatisfied, and the grievances have been accumulated for a long time. The Ministry of Officials in Shandong has also heard about it, and I dare not say that it turned a blind eye, but at least it was negligent, and Long Jinwei was contemptuous and arrogant..., which caused a storm to evolve from an ordinary civil uprising into a religious bandit rebellion, ..."

  Feng Ziying didn't go into too much detail, but only pointed to the specific situation.

  He believes that Qi Yongtai is also a veteran in the officialdom, and he knows a little about these things, so there is no need to say more.

"..., the response mechanism for sudden civil unrest is rigid, ..., for a place that has long been at peace, there should be a more flexible and simple mechanism for how to respond quickly to the banditry that may be caused by such a civil unrest. It should not be reported to Jinan or even the Ministry of War, this is also the opinion I reached when I discussed with Cao Bing and Long Jinwei this time,..."

"...there is no complete system for the collection of civil society information and public opinion intelligence. Long Jinwei, the Criminal Ministry, the prefectural and county government offices, and even the inspection department may have found suspicious signs, but they all think it is the responsibility of the other party, and they shirk and trust each other. , leading to chaos,..."

  Feng Ziying has noticed the change in Qi Yongtai's expression, he knows that if he continues to speak like this, something will really go wrong, but he can only bite the bullet and continue.

   Fortunately, he was still very smart and didn't mention what to do, just said that there were problems here and there.

  Qi Yongtai was really shocked.

  If a thirty-year-old official could say such a thing in front of himself, he would give the other party a very good evaluation, at least because he saw many problems that existed through this incident.

   But the problem is that this is a thirteen-year-old, um, thirteen-year-old boy.

  Besides, having personally experienced this turmoil, it is impossible for a young man who has never experienced officialdom and government affairs to have such profound insights, right?

  Qi Yongtai couldn't control his expression, he was not a person who showed emotions, but today his expression really changed suddenly.

   "Ziying, is this what you observed on this trip? Have you ever had such an experience before?" Qi Yongtai couldn't believe it, he had to figure this out.

"Uh, Shanzhang, I used to follow my father when I was in Datong, and I often watched him handle military affairs. There were also people from the local area who coordinated with the frontier army. In addition, this time I went to Linqing with Qiao Gong and Chen Gong, and Long Zhang Jin, Zhang Qianhu and Zhao Wenzhao, Zhao Baihu of the Forbidden Captain even took me with them, and even dealt with Linqing Prefecture Yamen later. What I saw and heard in the past few days can be said to be deeply felt, especially Qiao Gong and Zhao Baihu. I have benefited greatly from Baihu's insights on many issues,…”

   This is also a cover, if there is no such reason, it will be difficult to relieve Qi Yongtai's inner doubts anyway.

   Needless to say, Qiao Yingjia, Jinyiwei is not full of wine bags and rice bags, and Qi Yongtai is not the kind of extreme person who knocks down a boat with a stick. Although he is very disdainful of Jinyiwei, he must admit that there are many capable people in Jinyiwei.

  Like Lu Song, the current Commander of the Jinyiwei, once cooperated with him when he was in charge of military affairs, and he is a very powerful figure.

This son happened at the right time during the civil uprising in Shandong, and participated in the suppression of the entire uprising by the Caoyun Yamen, Long Jinwei and Linqing Prefecture Yamen from the beginning to the later disposal. I am afraid that he has indeed experienced a lot. No wonder he can Come up with so many insights.

   Of course, Qiao Yingjia and Long Jinwei must be responsible for this.

   But in any case, it is enough to show that the thirteen-year-old boy in front of him is very different from other people of the same age.

   Ask for a recommendation ticket! Seek all kinds of support!
