Fang Yuan returned from Mount Tai and did not return to Yanzhou Mansion, but went directly to Jinan Mansion, where the Governor of Shandong and the Political Secretary were located.

As soon as he arrived in Jinan City, all the officials of Shandong Buzheng and Jinan Mansion went outside the city to welcome him, and the leader of the hundred officials was Wang Gongbi, the political envoy of Shandong Buzheng Division.

Fang Yuan frowned slightly when he saw it, because Qiu Zude, the governor of Shandong, was the only one among the hundred officials, so he asked the political envoy Wang Gongbi about the reason.

Wang Gongbi truthfully reported that Qiu Zude had resigned as governor of Shandong after the fall of Jinan Mansion, and Qiu's Mansion was closed to Fang Yuan, showing a resolute attitude of not 'colluding with Fang Yuan'.

Now the post of governor of Shandong is vacant, and the post of governor is temporarily replaced by Wang Gongbi, the political envoy of Shandong.

Fang Yuan listened to this Qiu Zude's soft confrontation, and not only did he not see anger on his face, but he smiled. The so-called people have their own aspirations, since the Tao is different, there is no need to force it, and immediately ordered the Shandong political envoy Wang Gongbi to be officially promoted to the governor of Shandong, with full authority to manage the government affairs of Shandong.

Fang Yuan also handed over to Wang Gongbi, the new governor of Shandong, two important tasks on the spot, which must be completed immediately.

One is to send 300 taels of silver and 300 stones of grain to Qiu Zude's mansion to reward Qiu Zude's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

The second is to immediately find Sun Chuanting's two sons and three daughters, and after finding them, they must not be lazy, and they will be sent to Jinan Mansion and sent by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan delayed for 10 days in Jinan Mansion and met with officials from all prefectures except Dengzhou Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Shandong's Political Division. He listened to the losses of the various state capitals in this war, as well as the demands of each state capital against Fang Yuan and the Jiangnan regime.

Since Sun Chuanting took over Shandong, Shandong has been peaceful for five years. But after this war, it has returned to the pre-liberation period, and the people's livelihood and people's strength have long withered. The prefects of various prefectures requested Fang Yuan the most, which was to ask Fang Yuan to reduce or exempt Shandong's land endowment for one year for the people of Shandong to recuperate.

In order to win the hearts of the people in Shandong, Fang Yuan not only readily agreed to reduce the Shandong Tianfu, but also reduced it for two years. Jining Prefecture, which endured the most fierce war and gave Fang Yuan the greatest support, was exempted from land taxes for five years, and even allocated 100,000 years of silver for the reconstruction of Jining City, which can be regarded as Fang Yuan's return for the support of the people of Jining City.

At the same time as reducing and reducing the land tax, Fang Yuan also redistributed the 7 million mu of fertile land that Sun Chuanting had previously included in the management of the military field.

One million acres of land will be included in the emergency reserve field, which will be managed by the cabinet and the independent accounting group.

500,000 acres as a reward for the army after the conquest of Shandong.

300,000 acres were allocated to the name of the Regent's Palace; 200,000 acres were allocated to the prince of the prison state.

The remaining 5 million acres were distributed to the people of Shandong, with five acres of land for each adult.

As soon as Fang Yuan's plan for the distribution of fertile land came out, the prefects and officials of the state capitals applauded one after another, greatly praising Fang Yuan as a wise lord who loved the people like a son.

Fang Yuan looked at this group of sycophants with a smile, this time the distribution of land and property seemed to have nothing to do with them, and they didn't give them an acre of land, they were so supportive, and it was self-evident that they were tired.

The officials were waiting for the distribution of the fields, and they filled their pockets. If the land does not flow, it will not flow into their pockets, and of course they are 10,000 supporters.

These officials would make a profit from it, as early as Fang Yuan expected, if they didn't stretch out their hands, it would really be beyond Fang Yuan's expectations. The accumulation of political experience over the years has made Fang Yuan understand a seemingly profound, but simple truth.

People are profit-seeking, and they can't afford to be early if they don't make profits. If you want these officials to support the Jiangnan regime and do things for Fang Yuan with peace of mind, one regent Xianjun Ming is so good-sounding, it is not good not to give them a little sweetness.

Corruption is unstoppable. Even if it is banned, those who come to power again will be greedy. Everyone hates corruption, mainly because not everyone has the opportunity to be corrupt.

The corrupt methods of these officials are varied, there are policies and countermeasures, and Fang Yuan is too lazy to ask and can't ask about it.

Fang Yuan's principle is that the petition system must be implemented truthfully, and the vast majority of the people know that they have the right to report. As long as people come to report it, whether it is corruption, annexation of land, or bending the law for personal gain, they will all be punished strictly and severely. When it comes to corruption, let these officials measure how much they have in order not to capsize.

Moreover, Fang Yuan firmly believes that as the petition system becomes more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the consciousness of the common people will increase day by day, and the space for corruption among officials will inevitably become smaller and smaller.

Just like Jiangnan, which has implemented the petition system for six or seven years, the atmosphere of officialdom is spotless, not to mention the clean breeze on both sleeves. At least when Fang Yuan first came to Jiangnan, those officials were lawless and dared to openly bargain with Fang Yuan, and they were much more incorruptible.

The supervision of the people is the most effective supervision!

In addition to assigning work to the government and other government affairs systems, what Fang Yuan also had to do was to arrange a Shandong governor to be in charge of Shandong's military affairs.

For the candidate for the governor of Shandong, Fang Yuan adopted the method of self-recommendation by Mao Sui. As long as they are the commanders of all battalions of the Xuanjia Army, middle and high-level officers above the general rank can recommend themselves. The letter of recommendation for the governor of Shandong was directly submitted to Fang Yuan, and he had to personally approve it.

Half a month has passed since the military order to recommend himself as the governor was issued.

Wang Gongbi, the governor of Shandong, also brought good news and bad news. The good news is that Sun Chuanting's family found it and brought his eldest son Sun Shirui and second son Sun Shining to Jinan Mansion; The bad news is that after Sun Chuanting's wife Zhang heard the news of Sun Chuanting's martyrdom, she also committed suicide and died her husband.

In order to commend the loyalty of the Zhang family, Fang Yuan sent a message back to the Regent Palace, asking the princess to posthumously crown the Zhang family as the first lady in the name of the Regent Palace.

The two brothers Sun Shirui stood in the lobby with frightened faces, waiting for Fang Yuan's departure.

Fang Yuan's gaze swept over the two, Sun Shirui was already an adult, about twenty-five or six years old, while Sun Shining was still an eight- or nine-year-old child.

Fang Yuan ordered Jinyiwei to bring chairs to the two of them, and the two of them sat down, so he asked unhurriedly, "Sun Shirui, Ling Zun and I are both enemies on the battlefield and confidants. Ling Zun entrusted you to me on his deathbed, are you willing to serve me?! ”

Sun Shirui had already been instructed by his father and mother to take refuge in Fang Yuan, and never go back to the capital to throw himself into the net, Sun Shirui said bluntly, "The family members of the defeated army are fortunate to be able to be blessed by the regent's grace and not to kill, and the others dare not ask for extravagance." ”

His politeness made Fang Yuan feel good, and laughed, "Haha, okay, Shirui, have you ever gained fame?" ”

Sun Shirui answered truthfully, "I just won the exam last year. ”

Sun Shirui is the son of the dignified governor of Shandong, and he only has a meritorious name, which shows that Sun Chuanting is indeed fair and strict, without favoritism.

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Since you have a reputation for raising people, I will appoint you as the commander of Kunshan County, first go to the grassroots level to hone and hone, and if you make political achievements, you will be assigned important tasks." ”

Kunshan is a rich county under the jurisdiction of Suzhou Prefecture, and being able to be appointed to Kunshan Governor County is a fat difference, and it can be regarded as Fang Yuan's exceptional promotion.

Fang Yuan had the intention of reusing Sun Shirui and assigned him to Kunshan County in the flower world, also to test whether he was a talented and beautiful jade, or a gentleman who couldn't support the wall.

Fang Yuan looked at Sun Shining, who was only eight or nine years old, and said with a smile, "Shining is so young, he lives in the Regent's Mansion, and I will take care of it on my behalf, and arrange for him to study in Jiangnan University Hall!" ”

Sun Shirui saw that he really regarded himself and his younger brother Shining as relatives, and he was moved to tears, and knelt on the ground respectfully, "On behalf of my father, mother, and younger brother, thank you for the regent's care." ”

Fang Yuan thought of Sun Chuanting, who was martyred on the top of Mount Tai, and sighed and said, "After being loyal, it should be like this, okay, go down!" ”

Disposed of Sun Shirui and Sun Shining, Fang Yuan's next target is, of course, the only prefecture in Shandong that has not yet been surrendered, Dengzhou Mansion!
