Chapter 748: The princess can also be in charge of the country

Many times people don't have many choices, and the higher the official, the less room for choice, and being elected by Chen Yue to become the governor, Yan Yingyuan also lost the right to choose, unless he is willing to give up all official positions and become a commoner again.

However, Yan Yingyuan did not regret his choice, because he still had greater ambitions in his heart, perhaps, he could have a greater future by following the Duke of Qi, and maybe he could also rank among the court's supreme ministers in the future!

Thinking about what Chen Yue was about to do, Yan Yingyuan himself was very agitated in his heart, he was ordered to lead his troops back to Beijing and punish the traitors to stabilize the dynasty, this is the rhythm of overthrowing the imperial court, once Chen Yue succeeds, he will control the authority of the entire Ming Dynasty, and even go further, Yan Yingyuan no longer dares to think about it......

And if he can stabilize the situation in Jiangxi for Qi Guogong, he will inevitably be regarded as a confidant, and his future will be limitless, at this moment, Yan Yingyuan seems to see the infinite possibilities of life.

"Jiangxi is undecided, Yan Futai, your task is very heavy. Clearing out the remnants of the western thieves is only one aspect, and what is more important is to quickly stabilize the place.

After the rebellion of the Western Thieves, most of Jiangxi was already dilapidated, the officials were slaughtered and lost their control over the local area, and most of the local gentry were ruined by the thieves.

Yan Futai, the first thing you have to do is to rebuild government institutions at all levels and stabilize the hearts of the military and the people in Jiangxi. Chen Yue explained.

"Yes, Guogong. However, Guogong, you also know that most of Jiangxi's prefectures and counties are in ruins, where can you get so many officials? And can't the appointment of officials pass through the imperial court? Yan Yingyuan hesitated.

"Where does the imperial court have the kung fu to take care of this now, and when the prince arrives at the court in Nanjing, the prince has the final say!" Chen Yue said domineeringly, "Each prefecture and county will send 1,000 to hundreds of troops, and the chief officials of the prefecture and county can be temporarily concurrently served by officers at all levels to exercise military management, and subordinate officials can be promoted from the original officials." Aren't the people who originally did things all the little officials the county lords will only be high up yan futai you are from a clerk you should know these very well.

The officers are mostly vulgar and unliterate, and the officials are cunning and greasy, Yan Futai, what you have to do is to formulate specific rules and regulations, supervise the new officials at all levels, prevent corruption, clean up the rule of officials, put an end to the careless treatment of human life, improve work efficiency, and tell these new officials that as long as they do a good job, they can become official and high-ranking officials, with this temptation, I believe they will do better than the non-commissioned officers appointed by the imperial court!

There is also the question of the reward for the soldiers, the western thieves have been defeated, and the time has come to reward the meritorious soldiers. However, there are as many as 100,000 soldiers under this government, and there are countless people who have made meritorious contributions. However, it is roughly estimated that the reward that needs to be issued must reach at least one million taels, and it is not that the prince cannot take out such a large amount of silver, but if you think about it carefully, there is no benefit in sending a large amount of silver, and the soldiers will eat, drink, prostitute and gamble with the silver, and cheapen those profiteers in vain.

It just so happened that the rebellion of the Western Thieves caused a large number of gentry to be wiped out, and there were many ownerless fields, which could be counted by the government and distributed to the soldiers as a reward for meritorious service.

The land could be cultivated by the captives, who were originally exiles and were no strangers to farming, and the harvest was enough to keep enough for the peasants' rations, and the rest was converted into silver and handed over to the soldiers every year. ”

"Of course, these affairs are too complicated, and they involve the army, and it is not appropriate to put all the pressure on you, I have appointed Jin Xin as the chief soldier of Jiangxi, and he will assist you in completing this matter." Shan Minglei, the pacification envoy, will also stay in Jiangxi and serve as Jiangxi's procurator, in charge of official governance, anti-corruption, military discipline and other affairs, and monitor and investigate all new officials. ”

The newly recovered Jiangxi had too many things to do, and it was time to carry out reforms after the rebellion of the Western Thieves, when the gentry's rule over the local area was weakened to the limit.

Chen Yue had already decided to use Jiangxi as a pilot to completely change the status quo of the imperial power not going to the countryside, and when Jiangxi was initially stabilized, he would order the establishment of two-level administrative organs in the countryside below the county level, and the officials were appointed by the imperial court and directly governed by the county government. In the future, the gentry will no longer have the power to control the place!

Naturally, these tasks are handed over to Yan Yingyuan, and they must be carried out by someone who is familiar with their own policies, and Shan Minglei is this candidate. After experiencing the start-up of Dongfan, Shan Minglei participated in the establishment of all systems in Dongfandao, and he has a lot of experience, and he is a good candidate for this task.

Chen Yue's words made Yan Yingyuan's expression become serious, he knew that Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, had high hopes for himself and Jiangxi.

"Guogong rest assured, Ying Yuan will do his best to do these things well!" Yan Yingyuan agreed angrily.

......

"The situation should be understood, I don't know what you think now, General Yu?" Chen Yue looked at Yu Feng, who was standing quietly with his head down, and asked indifferently.

"The last general knows it, but the last general doesn't understand what you mean by saying this to me alone? Could it be that you don't trust the end? Yu Feng raised his head and asked indignantly.

"Eh," Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, "Brother Yu, don't think about it, my father doesn't distrust you, but after the army, there will definitely be different opinions, and there are probably many people who say that this father is rebellious, and this father knows that Brother Yu is the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and you are the most trusted general of this father, and this father doesn't want you to misunderstand." ”

Among Chen Yue's subordinate generals, Yu Feng, who charged into battle, was second to none, and his ability to command cavalry was far above that of other generals, and Chen Yue didn't want him to have different intentions because of his actions.

"Guogong, will you establish yourself as the emperor after entering Nanjing?" Yu Feng asked suddenly.

"Of course not! Bengong is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, how could he do such a rebellious thing! Chen Yue categorically denied it.

"Since the time in Beijing, the last general has been following you Guogong, fought countless battles, and has long understood a lot, this Ming Dynasty would have ceased to exist without Guogong. Without the bloody battle of our soldiers, how could those officials and masters in Nanjing City eat with fat brains?

The people were displaced, the soldiers shed blood and sacrificed, but in exchange for the prestige of the officials and lords, this world is too unfair!

Guogong, don't worry, the last general has long passed the age of angry youth, what do you say to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, what is the Ming Dynasty? It is the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and hundreds of millions of people, not the world of one family, and it is not the court represented by the officials and lords in Nanjing!

And only you, Guogong, can clarify Yuyu, recreate the Ming Dynasty, and return hundreds of millions of people to a peaceful world, no matter what Guogong does, even if it is to replace the Zhu family, the last general is willing to attach a tail wing and charge into battle for you! ”

Yu Feng's words surprised Chen Yue very much, and the next thing was moved. It turns out that unconsciously, many people's minds have changed, and the only thing that has not changed is the trust and loyalty of the old brothers to themselves.

"Brother Yu's thoughts are already known to my father."

"Guogong, do you really not want to be the emperor? Your Majesty shouldn't be able to, is it possible that the rivers and mountains we have worked so hard to fight will be cheaper, and those vassal kings will not succeed? Yu Feng asked suddenly.

"Vassal King? They want to be beautiful! Chen Yue sneered.

"Then someone has to be the emperor, and the country can't be without a king for a day."

"Your Majesty is still alive, and it is too early to say this. However, doesn't Your Majesty still have children, and the princess can also supervise the country! Chen Yue said lightly.

"Ahh Yu Feng was really shocked.
