"Ready"

Jiujiang Pavilion, in Zhou Zheng's small living room, Han Cheng and Zhou Zheng sat opposite each other, took a sip of tea, and Han Cheng said with a smile.

Zhou Zhengdao: "It's almost, it's expected to be like this in early March." ”

Han Cheng was still very happy that Zhou Zheng left the capital and went to the place to do something, and said: "That's good, don't worry about Jiujiang Pavilion, with a few of our old guys here, there won't be much chaos." ”

Jiujiang Pavilion is actually relatively safe, firstly, there is nothing to be gained, and secondly, the six words of spreading the sage's edification are enough to overwhelm many people and things.

Zhou Zheng smiled and gave Han Cheng tea, and said, "Mr. Lao bothered. ”

Han Cheng smiled, and then said, "I heard that Elder Feng Ge is going to prison."

At the mention of this, Zhou Zheng put down the teapot and nodded slightly.

Han Cheng lost a smile on his face, and silently picked up the teacup again.

The government and the opposition were very happy about Emperor Chongzhen's liquidation of the eunuchs, and constantly praised the new emperor as a holy monarch, waiting for the traitors to be exhausted, and everyone was in the dynasty.

But Han Cheng is not an ordinary person, he is far away from the court, watching from the sidelines, and watching the fire from the outside.

He has already seen some problems, the new emperor is not for the sake of the court situation, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and liquidated the eunuchs, more like venting personal anger, a few months have passed, the court situation is becoming more and more chaotic, there is no trace of clarity.

What's more, Shi Fenglai and people with traces of eunuchs like Lai Zongdao entered the cabinet one after another, casting a shadow on the expectations of the Shilin Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty.

If we continue to liquidate the cabinet ministers, especially Huang Liji, I am afraid that it will cause even greater chaos in the government and the opposition, and there will be new party disputes.

Han Cheng was quite worried about the situation in his heart, but he was helpless, he was silent for a while, and said to Zhou Zheng with a smile: "I heard that Bitangguan and Ling Zun are preparing to eliminate redundant troops, revitalize the cantonment, and formulate a new assessment of local officials, which is still very insightful and effective."

Zhou Zheng was also quite happy about this, and said with a smile: "I heard what my father said, Bi Shangshu is sleepless at night, and he is preparing to do a big job." ”

There is no need for Zhou Qingli to say much, Zhou Zheng can see the plan played by the household department in the cabinet.

Bi Ziyan prepared to order the merchants to transport the real side, cut out the redundant soldiers, check the false salaries, develop the Jingdong paddy fields, check the hidden fields in the world, set up military tuns, etc., which was very praised by Emperor Chongzhen, and was also ready to compile a list of enlistments, crack down on corruption, and even planned to clear the acres of land in the official tun, which was really powerful.

Han Cheng only said this, so he didn't say anything more, and the topic shifted to the development of Jiujiang Pavilion.

Half an hour later, Han Cheng left.

Zhou Zheng just sent him away and returned to the office, and Kou Huaiyi followed up.

Zhou Zheng saw that his face was embarrassed, and said, "Something"

Kou Huaiyi raised his hand and said, "The owner, I still hope to stay in the capital, and I ask the owner to forgive me." ”

Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, looked at Kou Huaiyi's embarrassed look, and nodded slightly.

Kou Huaiyi has good ability, is calm, and has an atmosphere in his work, Zhou Zheng really wants to take him away.

Everyone has their own ambitions, Zhou Zheng did not stop him, and said: "Okay, where do you want to go, I will recommend it to you." ”

Kou Huaiyi struggled in his heart and said: "I want to go to the household department, but don't worry, I will stay in Jiujiang Pavilion until August to ensure that Jiujiang Pavilion is on track and will not be chaotic." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly and said, "There is no need to be nervous, you are in Jiujiang Pavilion to give in, it is also a temporary expedient measure." Household Salt Section Lifting Division, Deputy Lifting, from the Seven Grades, How"

It is already a great luck to be able to enter the office, all of a sudden, it is from the seventh grade, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have this opportunity, Kou Huaiyi immediately raised his hand, and said with great joy: "Xie Dongjia, Kou Huaiyi will never forget the grace of the owner"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I'll arrange it in the next few days, and you can prepare it too." ”

Kou Huaiyi has been waiting for this day, and when he saw that it was in front of him, he looked excited, raised his hand and said, "Yes, Kou Huaiyi retires." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Kou Huaiyi's back, thought about it, and had to meet some people again.

For example, Tian Zhenshu, Hu Qingzheng, Ma Shiying, Zhang Heyi, Yao Tongshun and others.

Zhou Zheng has been running outside for the past few days, preparing to leave Beijing.

Late at night, Zhou Zheng came back from outside, smelling of alcohol.

Zhou Fangzheng accompanied Zhou Ding's spread, watched him come back with a drunken body, and said angrily: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, can you stop drinking?"

Zhou Zheng was still very conscious, and said to Zhou Ding's with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I will pay attention next time." ”

Zhou Ding patted Zhou Fang and said, "Don't listen to your eldest brother, I haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the kitchen and give you a bowl of noodles." ”

Zhou Zheng was indeed a little hungry, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng more and more angrily, and when Zhou Ding left with a smile, he said: "I don't dare to support your sister-in-law, but you are welcome." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "That's the sister-in-law's virtuousness." ”

Zhou Fang just said a word, and then said: "You are ready"

The matter of Zhou Zheng leaving Beijing has been discussed a long time ago, and the father and son of the Zhou family know it.

Zhou Zheng took a sip of wine and said, "The things outside are almost over, and when I find an opportunity to ask someone to recommend it, it's basically no problem." ”

If you want to be outward, with Zhou Zheng's ability, it's actually very easy.

Zhou Fang didn't care about this, and thought about it: "Dad said before that he would fight for you, I don't know how I will fight for it, and besides, with your qualifications, it is estimated that there are some problems." ”

Zhou Zheng's qualifications, he has only been in the office for half a year, plus the problem of academic qualifications, if someone wants to get a card, it is really easy.

Zhou Zheng didn't care, and said, "I don't know how many people want me to leave quickly, don't worry." ”

Zhou Fang nodded, and then said: "The place in Yongping Mansion is the rear of Jiliao, it is a chaotic place, dragons and snakes come out together, and it is chaotic, you have to be careful yourself." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted, thinking to himself, he had prepared so much, if it was folded on the ground, it would be a joke.

The two said, Zhou Qingli also came back, and the three of them went to Zhou Qingli's study habitually.

In the study, the three fathers and sons were holding a bowl of noodles and talking about the government and the opposition while eating.

Zhou Qingli said with some emotion: "I and Bi Shangshu are still sorting out the government affairs of the household department, and they can't be described as a mess. ”

Zhou Zheng ate noodles by himself and did not comment.

The government of the Ming Dynasty has probably been collapsing since Jiajing, although there are many capable ministers, such as Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and then to Zhang Juzheng's continuous purge, but it still can't stop this trend, especially Wanli abolished Zhang Juzheng's reforms, coupled with the continuous wars, constantly prompting the corruption of the government.

Of course, partisanship is also a big reason.

Zhou Qingli just said this, looked up at Zhou Zheng again, and said: "The prefect of Yongping Mansion has been vacant for half a year, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to go." However, in the north of Yongping Mansion is the second town of Jiliao, which has already been drained, and it is inevitable that it will be hard. ”

There are many wars in Liaodong, and if you want money, food, and people, then you will naturally draw it nearby, and Yongping Mansion has been almost exhausted in recent years.
