Chapter 237
Yu Xinwu stared at Qian Ning with wide eyes, unable to say a word. (yes, how should I fight?)
"At that time, you will not be able to raid the homes of the big families and give their food to the victims; Nor can they persuade the victims to endure the pain and sell their fields. Neither side can use troops, let alone the yamen's servants, and if the victims rise up in groups and make trouble, Zhejiang will immediately be in chaos. And you, the strategy of 'solving the dilemma of reform and revitalization' mentioned in the recital of the imperial court immediately became the source of the great chaos. At this point, what are you going to do with Lord Chen? I'm afraid that's not what you're talking about, is it? Qian Ning said leisurely, completely ignoring Xinwu's face becoming paler and paler.
He shook it twice and held on to the desk to support his body. Then he rushed to Qian Ning to the end: "How to do it, please teach me!" ”
"You proposed the strategy of reform and revitalization," Qian Ning helped him into a chair and sat down himself, "You have every right to explain!" First, we should not allow the big families to buy the fields of the victims at a price of less than 30 koku of rice, which is the bare minimum, and it is also forcing them not to buy all the fields. In this way, Chun'an Jiande's field can be vacated. For example, if a family has three brothers, one brother can lend the grain from the field to the other two brothers to survive the disaster year. By next year, at least two-thirds of the people will have land to cultivate, and Zhejiang will not be chaotic. ”
Yu Xinwu nodded approvingly. Jiang is still old and spicy, Qian Ning has worked in Zhejiang for so many years, he is still very experienced, and he is better than himself, I don't know how much. He is just a scholar, he has no experience in grassroots politics at all, and he seems to be an official on the surface, but the Hanlin Academy is much simpler than other yamen, and in fact he can't learn anything. When I first proposed this strategy, I only came up with it from a theoretical point of view, sitting in a room, but as soon as I got it to reality, it was extremely fragile, and there were loopholes everywhere! Listening to Qian Ning's analysis, his back was soaked with cold sweat. The teacher will definitely not harm himself, but the teacher is just a high cabinet, how can he be more familiar with the situation in Zhejiang than Qian Ning? As the chief official of Zhejiang, Qian Ning is even more unlikely to harm himself, after all, he is his boss, and the first person who has to be held accountable for something happens is him Qian Ning.
"Then the task of 30,000 horses of silk in Chinese New Year's Eve will not be completed at all. How do you do that? "After all, there are some real talents from the Hanlin Academy, and Yu Xinwu immediately asked the point.
"Hey...... This national policy was originally to cut the flesh and mend the sores, but now it can only move forward and not go back...... This is the second thing, let those large households disperse to the counties that have not been affected by the disaster to buy, and they cannot only buy land in Chun'an and Jiande counties. The price of land should be 50 stone per mu, and hundreds of thousands of acres of mulberry land should be dispersed to various counties as much as possible to be reformed, so as to alleviate a lot of pressure. At the very least, we won't let the contradictions erupt together. Qian Ning craned his neck to look at the beams on the room and said slowly. This is already the limit of what he can do, but he can't do it in his own hands, so he can only let this newborn calf scholar do it!
"But what if they don't want to?" Yu Xinwu gradually realized the seriousness of the problem, but he still didn't realize what kind of whirlpool he had been involved in.
"Then you can play in the name of the Chincha! Play to the emperor, play to the court! Let the court and the cabinet make up their minds, and you must not make your own opinions! Qian Ning's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, he couldn't let this nerd throw his life here. This nerd may have to support the overall situation of Zhejiang in the future, if something happens to him again, Chen Yubi vomiting blood is still a trivial matter, and Zhejiang may not be able to recover it!
Yu Xinwu was stunned again, looked at Qian Ning, and nodded heavily after a while. But I remembered another trouble: "Those victims will definitely go around illegally petitioning and causing trouble everywhere." What if they stab Jingshi and make trouble in Beijing? ”
"The imperial court still understands the difficulties of our Zhejiang...... Besides, do you think the emperor's Jinyi Wei and Dongchang are all dry rice? Just find a crime that disturbs social order or interferes with the laws of the imperial court, at most hunt down across provinces, and everything will be calm. There will be no trouble in Jingshi, and trouble will only appear in our Zhejiang! Qian Ning glanced at him approvingly, thinking quite comprehensively.
Yu Xinwu nodded innocently.
Looking at his appearance of six gods and no masters, Qian Ning smiled: "I won't let you fight alone!" If you go to Zhejiang, I have to go to Suzhou first and ask Zhao Yuanchao, the governor of Jiangsu, to borrow grain. Within ten days, I will borrow grain and let you go to fight for the price of the land. There is another person you want to reuse, he is the new Chun'an Zhi County and Jiande Zhi County Qin Mi, who can help you! ”
Yu Xinwu was already full of thoughts in his heart at this time, his thoughts were mixed, he looked at Qian Ning, and only after a long time did he spit out a sentence: "My lord, my subordinates have a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
"Anyway, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask." Qian Ning nodded and took a sip of tea.
"Since your Excellency has met the emperor, why don't you say these things to the emperor?" Yu Xinwu hesitated for a moment before asking word by word.
Qian Ning smiled bitterly and looked out the window for a long time without saying a word. An unknown bird flew outside the window, paused on the branch, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"It's not a thing, the above all want to know; It's not a word, it's all I want to hear. The top doesn't want to know and doesn't want to listen, and the people below don't want to report and dare not report, and many things are bad on this...... You have to remember that in officialdom, singing praises of virtue and reporting good news and not bad news is always the main theme, and only if you save your husband and follow this rule, can you fight with them bit by bit. Back then, Hai Rui used his own life and future as a bargaining chip and price to challenge those rules that he was not used to, but what changed in the end? Nothing has changed...... There is no real black and white, and there is no right or wrong, only conscience! Qian Ning looked at Yu Xinwu deeply and patted his chest vigorously, "No matter what you do, don't ask what is right or wrong in black and white, but ask for a clear conscience!" Don't ask if it's worth it, but ask if it's worth it! It's not too early now, and there are still dozens of miles to go to the next post station, so let's hit the road! ”
Yu Xinwu looked at this Zhejiang political envoy with a solemn face, the former vigilance and prejudice disappeared in an instant, he respectfully took a step back and knelt down, kowtowed: "My lord...... Take care! With that, he stood up and strode out.
Seeing Yu Xinwu go out, Qian Ning's eyes suddenly darkened, and he was a little unstable, and he sat on the ground all of a sudden.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" The relatives outside the door hurriedly rushed in and helped him.
"Don't touch him!" Zhu Yidao, who had been waiting on the roof, suddenly appeared, and shouted in a low voice to his relatives, "Go and ask for a doctor immediately."
Qin Sui was stunned for a moment, and quickly rushed out.
Lao Zhu slowly helped Qian Ning to the bed in the inner room, let him lie down, and then wet the towel from the basin and put it on his head, sat aside and observed nervously, speechless for a long time. There is a popular saying among the people that if you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. According to this statement, at least more than half of the officials in the Ming Dynasty have to go home to sell sweet potatoes, but this also proves that there are still many officials who really want to do some good things for the people and do some practical things. It's just that it's too hard for them to survive! How easy is it to protect oneself in the brutal political struggle, but also to do something practical for the people below, and to deliberately meet the people above against one's original intentions?
Qian Ning's eyes slowly opened, struggling to sit up, Lao Zhu hurriedly pressed his shoulders and let him lie down: "I don't stop when I'm tired like this!" You still told Yu Xinwu to let him learn to save himself, how can you fight with those people like this? It won't take a few days to get to Suzhou, so let's rest here for a few more days, and recuperate before leaving.
"No!" Qian Ning grabbed the towel on his head and threw it out of the distance, "The grain will not be shipped to Zhejiang within ten days, and I will see Xinwu in vain today." ”
"You...... Do you really think it's useful to say these words to Yu Xinwu? Zhu Yidao asked suspiciously. Originally, he didn't have to go to Zhejiang again, but Wanli suddenly summoned him into the palace, because Wanli found that Qian Ning's current situation was very difficult and difficult, even if Zhang Wei sent Qin Mi over, I am afraid it would not have much effect. So he quietly sent Zhu Yidao over again, but this time the task was very simple: to ensure the safety of Qian Ning's life, and let them fight and fight without asking anything else! But how could Lao Zhu let it go, he listened to the conversation between Qian Ning and Yu Xinwu clearly on the roof, and sighed in his heart: Such an official must be protected no matter what!
Qian Ning looked at Zhu Yidao deeply: "Then do you think it is useful for Master Zhang to send Li Hualong and Qin Mi to Zhejiang?" ”
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then explained embarrassedly: "Lord Qian, it's not that I mean to hide it from you. I'm not a civil official, and I can't interfere with these things even if I know about them, and you'll know about it sooner or later anyway. Master Zhang had already persuaded Qin Mi to go to Chun'an to be the magistrate. I am familiar with this person, he can still resist and dare to resist. With him, at least you'll be much less stressed. ”
"I said at the beginning, I have to do this whether Li Hualong comes or not, and today I still say the same thing, you have to do it or not." As he spoke, he sat up hard, "With my conversation with Yu Xinwu today, the Qin Mi recommended by Master Zhang may be able to fight with those people." Get me a carriage and let's go! ”
Qin Mi looked at the grand city gate of Hangzhou, and seemed to have returned to Xinyang County in a trance. Only this time, he didn't know what step he could go to prevent the people from revolting as much as possible.
