Jia Lian of the Red Chamber
Chapter 198 198
Xiong Changhao agreed to the Shifang envoy, and Jia Lian let him discuss the remaining matters with Wang Ziteng.Jia Lian did not dare to guard against Wang Ziteng, nor could he.
Since Jia Yun wanted to be a county magistrate, Jia Lian naturally made arrangements for him and asked Wang Ziteng for a map of Fujian and Zhejiang. The men followed the map to find out which places can promote two-season rice and which places can promote sweet potatoes.
Jia Lian told Jia Yun: "What I mean is, if you want to go, you will go to a small mountain county that others don't want to go to. Such a place is easy to get results. It's easy to play with few people. After a year, if you make achievements, I will promote you. If you are a magistrate, others will not dare to show their teeth, what do you mean?"
Jia Yun nodded frequently: "My nephew always listens to my second uncle."
Jia Lian thought about Du Ruoxin, and Jia Yun still had no son, so she couldn't help worrying, and said, "Actually, it's not bad for you to have an experience with me, and your wife can live with your aunt."
Jia Yun smiled: "To tell you the truth, Second Uncle, I'm going to take up the post alone, and I'll come back to pick her up after I sort things out."
Jia Lian nodded: "This is also possible."
Here Wang Ziteng has already negotiated with Xiong Changhao, Wang Ziteng gave up two capable experiences to Xiong Changhao, Jia Lian also sent two clerks to Xiong Changhao, and asked Xiao Baozi to dispatch a Lang team to follow Xiong Changhao on errands.He also told Xiong Changhao that it would be best to set up the city board within a month.
In order to get acquainted with the officialdom in Haijiang as soon as possible, as well as the entanglement between these officials and the officialdom in Kyoto, and to understand the temperament and ability of these officials, Jia Lian asked Wang Ziteng for two capable masters.
Wang Ziteng raised his eyebrows: "You didn't recruit any staff in the capital?"
Jia Lian chuckled: "Yes, Uncle Lin asked me to recruit 100 people, and Prince Xi asked me to recruit 200 people. I don't know how deep it is, thinking about it, my father-in-law will definitely be able to produce many people, and my son-in-law will come. Support one or two, if I recruit all the staff, wouldn’t my father-in-law have no place to give others? Therefore, the son-in-law only recruited 50 people, plus Yuner, Mr. Xiong, Master Yan and Master Jiang, a total of 54 people .”
Wang Ziteng pointed at Jia Lian a few times when he heard the words, and then laughed: "You, you, I obey you, and you even count on this. It seems that if I don't hand over the military affairs to you, you are I won’t give up. Hmph, it’s a mess, I don’t think anyone cares about it.”
Jia Lian hastily bowed and bowed: "Father-in-law, don't misunderstand, don't be a shopkeeper, my son-in-law just thinks that he will be promoted to the court in a few days, I can't black out the military, political and personnel affairs in Haijiang, so my son-in-law is sincerely asking for advice." , and ask my father-in-law to teach me."
Although Wang Ziteng was unhappy, he also knew that Jia Lian's words were reasonable. Moreover, he always hoped that Jia Lian could take charge of his own affairs. Sooner or later, he would leave Haijiang and go to other provinces for inspections. If Jia Lian's human and financial resources are not given to him, will he benefit others in the future?
He is full of official career and economics and doesn't teach Jia Lian, so why can't he be taken into the coffin?
For the next three days, Jia humbly asked Wang Ziteng to sort out the official affairs in Fujian and Zhejiang, just like sorting out the precious memories left by his grandfather.
Later, Wang Ziteng talked with Jia Lian about the personnel and customs in Fujian and Zhejiang. Wang Ziteng couldn't remember it for a while, but Jia Lian could remind him.
Wang Ziteng was very surprised: "You have a good memory! No wonder you suddenly woke up, and you were able to get into high school. No wonder your grandfather had high hopes for you, but you have such extraordinary talents!"
After two days, Jia Lian basically got a clear idea of those existences in Fujian and Zhejiang official circles that cannot be offended.
The officialdom in the whole sea area is like a small imperial court, and the situation is complicated.
Wang Ziteng reminded Jia Lian emphatically, saying: "The commander of the Fujian Guards should be the emperor's person. You must pay special attention to this person, lest he has the right to secret."
Jia Lian couldn't help thinking of the two secret boxes and daggers with brass locks that the emperor gave him before leaving.
Therefore, Jia Lian took out the jewel-hilted dagger given to him by the emperor: "This is a reward from His Majesty when my son-in-law left Beijing. It is said to be a self-defense gift from Huang Dalong to His Majesty." Wang Ziteng took it and looked at it for a while: "It is This thing, it seems that His Majesty still has high hopes for you, knows you very well, knows that you have a good relationship with Lu Ping, and specially reconciles your relationship with Huang Dalong, and does not want Huang Dalong to fight with you. The boy has won the sacred heart! In this way you At least I'm not afraid that someone will lay maggots behind their backs and die for no apparent reason!"
Jia Lian was stunned: "Your words are scary."
Wang Ziteng sneered: "How did you remind me back then, did you forget? My relationship with the Holy Majesty was better than the relationship between you and the First Prince now. However, in the face of major interests, these small feelings are turned into fly ashes, as the saying goes. Tiger!"
Jia Lian was horrified when he heard the words. He never thought that one day, he would become the person the emperor feared!
Wang Ziteng patted Jia Lian: "However, you are right. The eldest prince has a wider heart than the previous emperor. Besides, you are still not above ten thousand people. The sky is falling, and there are still tall men on top."
When Jia Lian returned to Linhai City, the gold-plated plaque on the governor's yamen had already been hung up.
The governor's yamen is very spacious, divided into the front yamen and the back hall. The front yamen has two entrances, which are the lobby and the second hall.
The lobby is very majestic, with five bays, solemn and solemn. Like the Rongxi Hall in Rongguo Mansion, it is generally not used. It will only be opened for celebrations or to welcome imperial envoys.
The second hall is the place where ordinary people say that the officials and lords are raised to ask questions, and it is also called the court.
There are five wing rooms on both sides of the courtroom, and five rooms in the east wing, which are the meeting halls, and are also places where the chief official takes a break or meets with his staff, or discusses matters.The five rooms in the West Wing are the Announcement Hall, which houses various files of the government office. The files in the yamen are all stored here, which is convenient for the staff and scribes to look through the files and organize them for filing.
Behind the second hall, there is a partition with strong flowers. Behind the flower wall is the back office, also called the back house or the inner house, which is the official residence of the governor.The official residence is also divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is where the governor works, and the back yard is separated by a vertical flower gate. Entering the vertical flower gate is the back yard, which is also a five-bay upper room.This is where the family members of the officials lived.In other words, Jia Lian, Sister Feng and their children lived there.
There are many small courtyards on the east and west roads of the back house. These courtyards are used by the governor to house the servants and maidservants of the staff and clerks.Jia Lian brought Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yan, and those fifty staff members, twenty of Jia Lian's personal guards, and foreign stewards Xing'er Zhao'er, Chang Sui Long'er, Wang'er, Yaozi, and Fengshou all lived here. .
When Sister Feng received Mrs. Daotai and Mrs. Zhifu from the two provinces in the back house, Jia Lian also received officials from Fujian and Zhejiang provinces in the second hall. There are no less than 130 people in total.
Fortunately, Jia Lian was very familiar with the guards in the two provinces, and the city boat department was located in Mingzhou, Ningbo Prefecture, and Luping's Yongding Army had already assisted in starting the work. Therefore, Jia Lian decided to meet with the government offices of various places first.In order to understand the spring plowing conditions of the prefectures and counties under the rule.
When Jia Lian came to Haijiang, he was ordered to do two things, one was to reopen the city boat department, and the other was to implement the new policy of whipping.If you want to collect taxes according to the land, you must restore the land cultivation in Fujian and Zhejiang.
In recent years of wars, countless people have abandoned their farmland and fled to famine. Jia Lian is very worried about the issue of land abandonment.
Jia Lian was mentally prepared in advance, but when he heard the magistrates narrate the situation of the counties under their control, Jia Lian was still very shocked.But it turns out that not only Gansu has eaten up all the grain seeds due to famine, but Zhejiang also has this problem.Especially the hardest-hit areas of the Japanese plague, the coastal prefectures and counties.
Jia Lian looked at the chief envoy of Zhejiang after hearing the words: "Since there are no grains for spring plowing, why don't you see any memorials coming to Beijing?"
The chief envoy, Du Zhongkang, got up and smiled wryly: "In the past few years, Japanese pirates have been rampant, and countless people have fled to other places, causing the land to be barren. Although the war ended at the end of last year, and people returned to their hometowns one after another in this spring, they are not enough. People are in danger of starving to death at any time. The prefectures and counties submitted reports one after another, and the officials also reported the matter to Feng Tang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang at the time, and Lord Wang, the inspector of the nine provinces. In addition, the humble officials also submitted secret reports to the emperor. It is a pity The imperial court did not give an official reply, and the humble ministers can only ask for their own organization, and the people who have finally returned to their hometowns cannot be allowed to go out to flee famine again!"
Jia Lian nodded. In the past year, three high priests died in succession. As a general rule, in order to prevent people from causing trouble during the national funeral, local officials are not allowed to enter Beijing casually.Furthermore, Emperor Qianyuan died in the twelfth lunar month, perhaps the secret document of the chief envoy hadn't had time to read it.
Jia Lian was bitter. When he came, he still wanted to solve the famine problem in Gansu for the emperor. He didn't expect that he would face the imminent starvation of people in Fujian and Zhejiang.Not only must we immediately try to raise food to relieve the victims, but we must also try to replant, otherwise, people will starve to death in autumn.
Jia Lian knew that he had to find out the details of the entire Fujian and Zhejiang administration immediately, and Jia Lian felt that it was not enough to just listen to what people said.Taking advantage of the break, he invited Xing'er to tell him: "Go quickly to find the water pattern, and ask him to send the disaster victims who were recruited in the local area. After changing their clothes, they will return to their hometowns to see the spring plowing conditions in various counties and the lives of the people." The situation, report to me within three days."
Afterwards, Jia Lian instructed Zhao'er again: "Go to check the yamen and ask the third master if he knows about the situation of abandonment in various prefectures and counties. Don't say more about the rest."
Jia Lian was very worried, what would he do if the prince did not take remedial measures if he suppressed the secret?
Jia Lian was struggling, and Wang Ziteng came in person.
Jia Lian was taken aback, and hurriedly gave up his seat: "Father-in-law, why are you here?"
Wang Ziteng sneered: "If I don't come to explain it to you, why don't you label me a corrupt official?"
Since Jia Yun wanted to be a county magistrate, Jia Lian naturally made arrangements for him and asked Wang Ziteng for a map of Fujian and Zhejiang. The men followed the map to find out which places can promote two-season rice and which places can promote sweet potatoes.
Jia Lian told Jia Yun: "What I mean is, if you want to go, you will go to a small mountain county that others don't want to go to. Such a place is easy to get results.
