Chapter Eighty-Five: The Great Qing Officials and Powerful Ministers

The will to change rice to mulberry and dismantle the Zhejiang Weisuo army soon spread to the yamen of Zhejiang's political envoys. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Di got the will, and there were joys and sorrows.

The good news is that in the future, they can earn 2 million taels of silver in vain every year, and the future military salary of the Flying Tiger Army can finally be solved.

As for worry. Chen Di's first concern is that changing rice to mulberry can increase the income of the people of Zhejiang by 50%. It is inevitable that some people will covet the fields of the people of Zhejiang.

Those wealthy families and wealthy men in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will use all means to annex the land of the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Chen Di's second concern was the dismantling of the Zhejiang Weisuo Army. Zhejiang's Weisho Army has 70,000 or 80,000 people in the records of the military department. Even if half of the empty salary is eaten, the actual number of people is 30,000 or 40,000. You want to smash the jobs of 30,000 or 40,000 people, and those 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and ruffians will mutini and make trouble!

If you want to prevent those corrupt officials, local tyrants and shoddy gentry, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and bigwigs from annexing the people's land, they must send people to the bottom to keep an eye on them.

Chen Di increasingly felt that there were not enough reliable people. Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang led the troops to fight first-class, but they didn't know anything about participating in civil affairs. Although Tang Shunzhi is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, he has to take care of the training of the new army, and Chen Di also plans to hand over the matter of dismantling the army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guards to him. Even if Tang Shunzhi is capable, he is still powerless.

What is most lacking in the Hereafter? It's talent!

What's missing at the moment? It's talent!

Okay, then I'm hiring!

Chen Di planned to select more than a dozen people from the county orders and county officials in Zhejiang, and send them to various prefectures in Zhejiang as political envoys and yamen counselors to supervise the implementation of the change from rice to mulberry.

The political envoy Yamen issued an official document, ordering the county commanders and county officials of all counties in Zhejiang to go to the political envoy Yamen to participate in the assessment.

One hundred and sixty county magistrates and county officials, Chen Di passed the assessment one by one. These people went down to watch corrupt officials and local tyrants annex the people's land. It must be chosen from a person who is willing to be indifferent. If a group of corrupt officials are selected, maybe they will collude with the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and bigwigs inside and outside.

More than 160 low-level officials wearing seventh- and eighth-grade official uniforms formed a long line in the yamen.

The clerk of a political envoy yamen said to his companions: "Our political envoy yamen has not been so lively for a long time. ”

Another secretary said: "Yes, I'm afraid that all the officials from Zhejiang Province have come to the yamen." ”

Chen Di met more than a dozen people, but they were all dissatisfied.

On his official case, there was a thick stack of records.

Chen Di opened another notebook, which read, "Chun'an County Ling Hai Rui!" ”

It turned out to be Hai Rui Haigang Peak! The first Qing official of the Jiajing Dynasty!! Chen Di was excited. You know, in modern times, Hai Jui is worshipped and recited as a god! Hai Jui is synonymous with Qing officials!

Chen Di ordered: "Spread Chun Anzhi County Hai Rui! ”

Soon to meet with the first Qing official of the Jiajing Dynasty, Chen Di's heart was a little excited.

Hai Jui is a clean official, but he is too upright and can't be a man. But he is a material for making imperial history. It is very appropriate to send such a soft and hard Qing official to supervise the change of rice to mulberry below!

Hai Rui came to Chen Di.

"You are Hai Rui Haigang Peak?" Chen Di asked.

Hai Rui replied: "It's Xia Guan." ”

Another unexpected scene happened to Hai Rui! Chen Di, the official of the feudal territory, actually walked down the hall and arched his hand to Hai Rui: "The name of Hai Rui Haigang Peak, I have already been like thunder!" ”

Hai Rui hurriedly returned the salute: "The adult is too loving"

Chen Di sat down behind the hall and asked, "Does Lord Hai know why this official wants to select talents this time?" ”

Hai Rui said: "The lower officials have heard that the imperial court wants to change rice to mulberry in Zhejiang. The adults want to select a group of people to go down there to supervise the implementation of this national policy. ”

Chen Di nodded and said, "That's right!" Do you know that by changing rice fields to mulberry fields, the people's fields can increase their income by 50 percent? Zhejiang's wealthy families will inevitably fight the idea of these fields. The suggestion of changing rice to mulberry was made by me to the emperor. If because of this suggestion, the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang lose the land they rely on for survival, then I am a sinner for the ages! I hope you can help me go down there and oversee the implementation of the change from rice to mulberry! Remember to keep an eye on those world-rich families, don't let them have a chance! ”

Hai Rui arched his hand and said: "The lower officials are officials, in order to let the people live a good life!" Rest assured, the lower officials will do their best! ”

Chen Di looked at Hai Rui again, and then said: "It's late autumn, and Hai Daren is wearing such a thin dress. The official uniform is a single coat, and I don't wear a cotton jacket, right? If I'm not mistaken, your padded jacket must be in a pawnshop at the moment, right? ”

Hai Rui exclaimed: "How do you know? ”

Chen Di laughed and said: "Haixian County is incorruptible, and no one in Zhejiang officialdom knows who doesn't know?" On such a cold day, if you don't wear a cotton jacket, you must be short of money, so you will send the jacket to the pawnshop! ”

Chen Di ordered: "Someone! ”

"The subordinates are here." A clerk answered.

Chen Di ordered: "Go to Fuqingxiang in the west of the city, buy a good cotton jacket, and give it to Haixian Ling!" ”

Hai Rui shirked: "How is this good? I can't help it, I can't help it. ”

Chen Di smiled: "I know you are incorruptible!" If I gave you money, you wouldn't ask for it! Even if you take the money, you will be helping the poor people! How can you be willing to buy yourself new clothes? Why don't I just ask someone to make a cotton jacket and give it to you! It's late autumn, and it's about to start winter! A talent and a clean official like you, I will come in handy! If I get sick with frostbite, where can I go to find a clean official like you? ”

Since Hai Rui came to work in Zhejiang, he has been excluded by his colleagues and superiors. At the end of the day, because he is incorruptible! In today's Zhejiang officialdom, being honest is not social! He didn't expect that the fourteen-year-old political envoy in front of him would appreciate him so much.

Hai Rui knelt down and said: "The grace of the political envoy is unforgettable!" ”

Chen Di stepped forward and helped Hai Rui up: "Today's Zhejiang officialdom is a mess of black!" It is very rare to find a good official like you who comes out of the mud but is not stained, and who is green and lotus but not demonic! Do a good job of the errand I gave you, and do a good job for the people! After finishing this errand, I still have to recommend to the emperor and let you do the imperial history! People like you are born to be the material for imperial history! ”

Seeing off Hai Rui, Chen Di was excited.

Unexpectedly, in the stack of records at hand, there was such a famous minister.

What surprised Chen Di was still to come.

Chen Di flipped through the file again, and found another name - "Hu Zongxian"!

God, Hu Zongxian is also in the yamen of the political envoy at this moment.

You must know that later historians commented on Hu Zongxian: "The imperial court cannot be without the southeast for a day, and the southeast cannot be without Hu Zongxian for a day!" ”

Chen Di was overjoyed. I just got acquainted with Hai Rui, a Qing official, and this is 。。。。。。 Found a treasure!
