Chapter 479: Rebuild Taiping

  Chapter 479 Rebuilding the Taiping Mansion

  Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle... well, you don't have to be angry, I need to see my mother and concubine immediately, and my mother and concubine must be very worried about me now."

  Zhang Anshi sighed: "You go, I won't go, thinking that the nephew I have carefully cultivated is such a person, I really feel ashamed to see my sister."

  Zhu Zhanji: "..."

   Seeing Zhang Anshi like this, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to say: "Uncle, I won't dare next time."

"Hey... don't talk about it, it's hard to make a broken mirror..." Zhang Anshi cheered up when he said this, and said: "By the way, right now... in view of your contribution, so... this time, I'm afraid I will ask you to take the lead. And the state knows the state."

  Zhu Zhanji was taken aback, and said, "Me?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "Of course it's you."

   "Why Hezhou... This Hezhou has a small area and poor people..." Zhu Zhanji frowned.

Zhang Anshidao: "Hezhou, Taiping Mansion and Yingtian Mansion are all separated by a line, and it is only a few steps away from the capital. Where you come in."

  Zhu Zhanji frowned, and said: "But I have never held such a position, and I am usually a deputy..."

Zhang Anshi sighed: "You will never be heartless, only my uncle has always cared about your growth, and because you are usually a deputy or assistant officer, so this time, I want you to try it in Hezhou. And After all, the state is in Zhili, and the New Deal has long been enacted. What you want to do is Xiao Guicao. You don’t have to worry about troubles, and you can sharpen yourself.”

  Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to nod.

  Zhang Anshi said again: "But..."

   "But what?" Although Zhu Zhanji was a little hesitant, deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but look forward to it. Although he was a teenager, he wanted to give it a try, what it would be like to be a parent.

Zhang Anshi put his hands behind his back, pretending to be an elder, and said in his mouth: "But I'm a little bit worried now. In the past, we only carried out the New Deal in Zhili. Although we were a bit dirty with some people, after all, we still do not interfere with the river water on weekdays. But now it’s different. Now that Henan and Guanzhong have been obtained, at this time... anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Taiping Mansion the day before yesterday, Zhili yesterday, Henan and Guanzhong today, sooner or later, this new policy will be implemented throughout the world. In addition, Your Majesty's killing of the gentry in Henan and other places has already made people terrified, and next... I am very worried that some people will not be willing, and some troubles will arise."

   "If they still dare to rebel..." Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "I will kill as many as there are."

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "The strength of these people does not lie in rebellion, but their strength lies in obedience and disobedience, or instigating the flames. If they are willing to rebel, it is a good thing. I am afraid that they will use other means. If you have any questions, come to ask my uncle for advice. Although my uncle dare not say that he has any talents, he is a little smarter than Guan Zhong. Hey, it's a pity that my uncle treats you like this, you..."

   "Got it, got it." Zhu Zhanji said excitedly: "Uncle, I'm going to see my mother and concubine."

   "Let's go, let's go, I don't want to see you now." Zhang Anshi waved his hand.

  Zhu Zhanji looked a bit reluctant, and said: "Uncle..."

   "Anything else?"

  Zhu Zhanji said: "When I was in Guanzhong, when life and death were on the line, actually...actually...I still missed the emperor's grandfather, father, mother and concubine, and my uncle in my heart."

Zhang Anshi said: "I hope you really have a conscience. On weekdays, think about the benefits that Uncle treats you, think about the popsicles that Uncle personally made for you, and think about when your mother and concubine are angry, It’s uncle who secretly said good things about you.”

  Zhu Zhanji: "..."

   Finally said goodbye to this nephew.

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh.

  But I think I have more important things to do.

  The next day, a decree was issued, and Zhang Anshi was appointed governor.

  As soon as the news came out, Qixia was boiling.

   Those who come to congratulate are like crucian carp crossing the river.

  But at this time, the most difficult thing is Zhang Anshi!

  Two chief envoys need to install a large number of officials. It can be said that they have racked their brains about what kind of people to arrange.

  After much deliberation, there are indeed a lot of people who can be used at the moment, but after all, it is a land of two provinces, there is really no way, this year's official examination, I am afraid that the enrollment will be expanded.

  At least ten thousand people must be recruited to fill the next vacancy.

   But for the former Zhili officials, it was almost a feast.

  Think about it, with so many vacancies, I am afraid that in the near future, almost everyone can be promoted to one level, and even in some special cases, they can be promoted to two levels.

  You must know that in a normal official career, if you want to be promoted to a higher level, it takes a lot of hard work, let alone how much luck you need.

   But in this Taiping Mansion, not only are there many civil servants who have become officials, but now the official fortune is actually prosperous.

  This kind of life experience is unimaginable.

   Therefore, the entire Taiping Mansion was immersed in excitement.

   On the other hand, the Department of Cleaning Officials is facing difficulties.

  They are constantly selecting officials' merit records and past responsibilities, trying to select a large number of people and fill in the vacancies one by one.

   And Zhang Anshi also drew up a charter and submitted it to the palace.

  Zhu Di received Zhang Anshi's regulations, and carefully read them for several hours. Zhang Anshi's regulations can be roughly divided into several categories.

  One of them is the construction of railways.

  The second is the appointment and removal of officials. He even requested that all officials in Guanzhong and Henan should be removed and replaced with officials from Taiping Prefecture.

   Such an approach does seem a bit too drastic, but it is of great help to the New Deal. If the original officials are still retained, there may be future troubles.

  Of course, for officials, it is natural to get rid of them, but Zhang Anshi has adopted another method for civil servants everywhere, that is, to retain them temporarily to see the effect. Let them work in each yamen for a year and a half, and then conduct an assessment. If they are available, they will be transferred to official officials. If they are unqualified, they will be dismissed directly.

  The third is to adopt the law of the New Deal and start measuring and distributing land. This is related to the overall stability of Henan and Guanzhong. It is impossible for the people to receive relief forever and distribute their land so that they can have their own livelihood after the disaster.

The land in Guanzhong and Henan is flat, and the land can barely be called fertile. According to rough statistics, Guanzhong and Henan now have a population of more than three million households, and this place has a lot of arable land. Zhang Anshi estimated that every A household can get more than 50 mu, which is enough to make a living. In addition, some farm tools and grain seeds are supplemented, so people's hearts can be at ease.

  In addition to this, there are measures to combat thieves, build roads, and irrigate reservoirs.

These are all detailed items. Once the fields are available and the roads are open, it can not only solve the food problem for the court, but also ensure that there is no starvation. Then, it can attract some industrial and commercial measures and encourage some merchants in Taiping Prefecture to go to Guanzhong. And Henan and other places to invest.

  These measures are actually similar to Taiping Mansion, but it is not easy to implement such a large place.

  Zhu Di read it several times.

   Then he took another memorial, which was sent by Zhang Anshi and Zhang Zhang.

  He opened it slowly, and then saw Zhang Anshi's suggestion on recommending Zhu Zhanji as the magistrate of Hezhou.

  Seeing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but smile, and then looked to the side at Yi Shiha and said, "My grandson...seems to be able to take care of himself."

  Yi Shiha didn't understand, and said: "Your Majesty...the holy grandson is talented and intelligent..."

  Zhu Di waved his hand, but said: "Zhang Qing hopes that Zhanji will be the magistrate of Hezhou, what do you think?"

  Yi Shiha was taken aback, and then couldn't help admiring Zhang Anshi.

This time, the appointment of Zhang Anshi as the governor can be regarded as an unprecedented event. Even the muddle-headed rule of the Yuan Dynasty was almost blind, and the dynasty that frequently gave people high positions and military and political powers did not grant people to Zhili at once. , Henan, and Shaanxi were controlled by the governors of the three places.

   Therefore, this requires a lot of determination from His Majesty.

  Unexpectedly, this kid Zhang Anshi would be a man, and he would be governed by the emperor and grandson of the state.

   No wonder Zhang Anshi gained such trust, he couldn't help sighing, it's a pity Zhang Anshi didn't become a eunuch.

  Yi Shiha shook his head in his heart, but hurriedly said happily: "I don't dare to take anything seriously, but I think it will be of great benefit to the emperor and grandson."

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yes, it can not only sharpen Zhanji, but also let Zhanji gain popularity. Zhang Qing is really worried about his nephew."

  Yi Shiha laughed dryly and said: "My maidservant heard from people outside the palace that there is a saying among the people that the uncle is as big as the sky, and the nephew sits on top..."

  Zhu Di became interested, so he asked curiously, "What does this mean?"

  Yi Shiha was a bit embarrassed and said: "Actually, the slaves don't understand very well, just listen to what they say casually."

  Zhu Di seemed to be in a good mood, and didn't take offense at Yi Shiha, he just said: "I feel more and more that Zhang Anshi is so smart and close to a monster. In comparison, he is even smarter than Master Yao!"

   Speaking of this, the expression on Zhu Di's face unconsciously revealed a bit of loneliness.

  Ever since Yao Guangxiao passed away, Zhu Di missed Yao Guangxiao very much, and Yao Guangxiao held a very heavy weight in Zhu Di's heart. It can be seen from Zhu Di's evaluation of Zhang Anshi.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Di stood up, walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "This decree must be approved. Also...the prince is in Henan, so there is no need to rush back. I heard that he was on an errand in Henan. That's right, he's quite like me, so let him stay for a while and appreciate the people's sentiments."

  Yi Shiha hurriedly said: "The servant obeys the order."

  Zhu Di immediately stood up with great interest, and said: "Hezhou... come... get the map, I will take a good look at it."

  Yi Shiha is naturally busy.

   Soon, the map of Zhili was sent to Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di's gaze soon fell on Hezhou between Yingtian Mansion and Taiping Mansion.

Immediately, he just heard him talking to himself: "Hezhou is not big. Although it is called a state, it is just a county. The population is not large, only tens of thousands of households... This place... is used for the basic test It's not bad to try it out, it's only a day and a half away from the capital... um..."

  ...

  In Taiping Mansion, a large number of people began to flow.

  Today, he was still a first-class official. When he turned his head, he was called to have a conversation by the Qing Officials Department. Then, he packed up his things and prepared to go to a certain county to serve as the county magistrate.

  So, now here in Qixia, people set off firecrackers every now and then.

  Zhang Anshi ordered people to start recruiting civil servants, and began to select personnel from among the graduates of various colleges.

  At this time, Zhu Zhanji was already a new official. Fortunately, he worked in many places, so he immediately realized the benefits of Zhang Anshi letting him work in various places.

  Although he may not be proficient in almost anything reported, he can probably know some details, and it is almost impossible for the officials below to hide from him.

   After all, this emperor's grandson has done this before, and you still want to fool him?

  But soon, Zhu Zhanji became vigilant.

  After that, Zhu Zhanji found Zhang Anshi impatiently.

  At this time, Zhang Anshi was talking with officials who were about to take office, so there were many people waiting in the reception room.

   Zhu Zhanji did not rush in, but waited in another reception room until Zhang Anshi finished talking with the others one by one, and then he entered Zhang Anshi's room on duty.

  Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Zhanji with a smile, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then said calmly: "How is it, how does it feel to be a new official?"

   "Uncle..." Zhu Zhanji had a very serious expression on his face, and answered the question: "Have you heard the news?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "What news?"

  Zhu Zhanji said: "Now the hearts of the provinces are floating..."

  Zhang Anshi let out a cry, appearing relatively calm.

   "Float, just float..."

   Zhu Zhanji admired this uncle a little, so he said: "Everyone says that sooner or later other places will be the same as Guanzhong, Henan. At that time...you have to kill people again, and there are still people who go around to deceive people..."

  When Zhang Anshi heard this, he suddenly cheered up, raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Damn, I haven't had time to read Jinyiwei's briefing these days, I'm really too busy."

  Zhu Zhanji sighed and said: "I also listened to what the civil servants said. Now the people's hearts in various provinces are fluctuating because of the governor's mansion. They all say...it's going to be turbulent..."

  Zhang Anshi squinted his eyes, as if thinking seriously for a while, then opened his lips and said: "Is it the news from the gentry from all over the world?"

  Zhu Zhanji nodded slightly and said: "It looks like, I'm afraid I want to take this opportunity to put pressure on the court."

  Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "Press?"

   Zhang Anshi murmured these two words, his head lowered slightly, as if he had fallen into serious thinking again.

Zhu Zhanji continued: "People's hearts are fluctuating, big changes are imminent, and the court has to do some appeasement anyway. After all... it can't just kill a river of blood in Henan and Guanzhong, and then kill other provinces. "

  Zhang Anshi said casually: "There are many people in the capital who say the same?"

"Of course, I'm afraid there will be some people secretly contributing to the flames." Zhu Zhanji stared closely at Zhang Anshi's face and said, "Uncle, you have to be careful, don't underestimate these prophecies. Uncle has read too little scriptures and history, but he doesn't know the past dynasties, and many prophecies will come true."

  Zhang Anshi unconsciously took a deep look at Zhu Zhanji. He was very impressed with this nephew.

  The so-called prophecy will come true, in fact, it is just some kind of psychological suggestion, such as the stone man with one eye, provoking the Yellow River to rebel.

   This is a kind of prophecy, which was obviously spread on purpose by someone with a heart, and then, the stone man was dug out, and finally the world turned upside down.

  The reason why many prophecies can come true is the arrangement and arrangement of caring people.

   It may be for some special purpose, or it may be used to put pressure on the court.

  Anyway, if you don’t listen, the world will be in chaos. You can figure it out yourself.

  After Zhang Anshi listened, he frowned and lowered his head in thought, but the weather behind him was uncertain.

Zhu Zhanji, who was on the side, said again: "Uncle... If my guess is right, then I am afraid that hundreds of officials will use these prophecies... to start pointing directly at the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. I am afraid that the Taiping Mansion will It's not peaceful..."

   "Really?" Zhang Anshi suddenly looked up at Zhu Zhanji, and said slowly, "Tell me, who is behind this?"

  Zhang Anshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the light flickered, as if bursting out with a sharp light.

  Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "How do I know... All in all, don't teach them to succeed..."

  Zhang Anshi still held his chin, began to think, and muttered in his mouth: "Don't talk, let me think about it..."

  Zhu Zhanji: "..."

  Zhang Anshi was silent for a long time. Suddenly, a big smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he clenched his fist excitedly and said, "Haha... I'm really sleepy and someone sent me a pillow. It's really great."

   "Uncle...what's the matter..." Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded. He was a little confused when he saw Zhang Anshi's unreasonable reaction.

Zhang Anshi took a deep look at Zhu Zhanji, and said in a sincere tone: "Zhanji, I need to teach you a truth, that is... people have to follow the trend, and next... we will get better soon Woke up."

  Zhu Zhanji: "..."

  Zhang Anshi continued: "These prophecies... could not be better, we don't need to pay attention to them, but next, your Taiping Mansion has a lot of things to do. If you can do this well, we can build another Taiping Mansion..."

  Taiping Mansion is considered a miracle.

  For Zhu Zhanji, he couldn't imagine that such a place could reach such a point in just ten years.

   Rebuilding a Taiping Mansion... This... Zhu Zhanji couldn't imagine it.

  So Zhu Zhanji said in surprise: "Taiping Mansion? How to rebuild it?"

  Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said: "You, you really don't understand. Of course, this Hezhou will be rebuilt into a Taiping Mansion! You, my uncle and my nephew, want to open up a new situation."

   "Hezhou...became the second Taiping Mansion..." Zhu Zhanji was so startled that his eyes almost fell off.

   Impossible, absolutely impossible.

  Hezhou, compared with Taipingfu, is simply a heaven and an underground. Although it is only a thin line, let alone Taiping Mansion, any state capital in Zhili can't compare.

  ………

  The second one is delivered, ask for a monthly ticket!
