Chapter 139: Governors of the Five Provinces (4)

But when Qin Liangyu appeared in front of Zhao Kang, Zhao Kang almost vomited blood.

Looking carefully at this white-haired, at least sixty-year-old old woman, her height of about 1.9 meters, her waist circumference is even thicker than Zhao Kang's fat waist, her two hands are full of thick calluses, and she also carries a wide and thick horse chopping knife around her waist, and Zhao Kang's visual light of the knife is at least fifty catties......

Zhao Kang didn't dare to underestimate this woman, so he hurriedly made a gesture and said: "General Qin has fought for the country and the people all his life, and he is really a heroine among women!" When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. ”

Qin Liangyu hurriedly returned the salute, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhao Kang's thin-skinned and tender hand: "How dare your subordinates accept the gift of the Supervisor." However, it is rumored in the outside world that the Governor is strong in martial arts, his sword skills are like gods, and King Kong is not bad, and he will see blood when he draws his sword. When I saw it today, I found that adults didn't seem to understand martial arts. ”

Zhao Kang smiled: "Rumors! Those are all rumors! I am a full-fledged reader, powerless, dizzy and weak at the sight of blood and corpses. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I have never killed a chicken since I was a child, and once I accidentally hit and killed a dog, I was stuffed for days......"

Qin Liangyu looked at Zhao Kang's smiling and somewhat modest face with a look of disbelief, and thought: Nima is old and confused, right? You haven't killed chickens, but you've killed people...... I heard that the Mongols on the steppe are about to be exterminated by you.

But he said: "Sure enough, the rumors are not credible!" You can see that the Overseer is really a good man! ”

......

On the thirtieth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, after all the people from all walks of life arrived, Zhao Kang decided to hold a banquet in the backyard of the Governor's Yamen (the original Governor's Mansion was just replaced with a plaque) to entertain the major governors and commanders under his command.

At noon, the people who were invited to the banquet had almost already arrived, and after waiting for more than half an hour, Zhao Kang was wearing a brand-new crimson first-class official uniform, and Zhang Youxiang, a genuine wife with a phoenix crown, appeared in everyone's sight, especially the big white crane embroidered on the belly of the official uniform poked everyone's eyes very much. Everyone watched with envy and hatred as the fat, smiling young man walked to the main seat of the banquet and sat down. At this time, the originally lively scene also quieted down.

Zhao Kang, who has seen a lot of big scenes, is not restrained, raised his wine glass and said loudly: "I, Zhao Kang, are the governors of the five provinces today, and when all my colleagues gather today, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the people of Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, Sichuan, and Huguang provinces!" I would like to extend my most respectful greetings to all the soldiers, generals and cultural workers who came to Xi'an to participate in the reorganization! ”

At this time, there was warm applause from below. Zhao Kang's eyes rolled over, and saw that everyone was applauding, so he nodded, Zhao Kang was very reluctant to do things like the leader's speech that would make the population dry. So he gave Zhao Fugui who was standing next to him a look, and Zhao Fugui picked up the speech very sensibly, stood in front of Zhao Kang on the left, and continued to start a tirade instead of our Inspector Zhao:

"The past few years have been an extraordinary few years, in which all of you colleagues have united and enterprising, worked hard, made outstanding contributions to the suppression of anti-thieves and gangsters from all walks of life, and have also achieved remarkable results. The achievements were made thanks to the correct guidance of the Governor of the five provinces, Zhao Kang, Lord Zhao, and Uncle Zhao, the bloody battles of the front-line soldiers, and the emperor's wisdom and martial arts! ......”

Hearing this, everyone thought: This Nima is still shameless, winning the battle is all the credit of your Zhao Inspector, and defeating the battle is that we are not desperate enough...... Speaking of the suppression of anti-thieves, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai have made fart achievements in the past two years, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai have flaunted their might in the Central Plains, Zhang Xianzhong has been rampant and domineering in Huguang, the official army has been defeated in successive battles, and almost all of Henan and most of Huguang have fallen, where are the achievements at all?

However, everyone still showed a happy and colorful expression, and the applause was shocking.

Zhao Fugui took the speech and read it in a low tone for most of the hour, until the adults present were drowsy, and Zhao Kang stood up and announced: The banquet has begun!

Zhao Kang attaches great importance to this banquet, and when everyone is gobbling up food, he also made a special trip to ask his favorite concubine Makata to come out and perform a Mongolian dance for everyone. to show respect to all of you.

After seeing that everyone was full of wine and food, Zhao Kang stood up, and everyone knew that the main event was coming, so they all put down the dishes and chopsticks and wine bottles to wash their ears and listen. I only heard Zhao Kangkan say: "Call everyone to come today, and the reorganization of the army is only one of them." More importantly, I want to promote Shaanxi's administrative model to Henan, Shanxi, Sichuan, and Huguang provinces. In the past two years, everyone can see what I have done in Shaanxi, Shaanxi Province has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years when I am in charge of military administration, and most of the people are no longer worried about eating, they are full of hope for life, and they all believe that as long as I Zhao Kang is in one day, their lives will be better and better. This is the merit of my Zhao Kang. Do you have any objections? ”

What Zhao Kang said is the truth, and no one dares to refute this.

Zhao Kang continued: "So I now formally ask the officials of the provinces to completely replicate Shaanxi. The salaries and benefits of all officials are the same as those in Shaanxi, and they are uniformly distributed by the governors' offices of the five provinces. All officials and officials at all levels in townships, towns, counties, prefectures, and governments under the jurisdiction of the governors must make a unified register and send them to the official training school in Xi'an in batches for a period of six months for skills training, and only after passing the examination can they return to their original posts. At the same time, I have asked the five provinces for which I am responsible, with the exception of Henan and Huguang, which have fallen into the hands of thieves, to Shanxi and Sichuan, just like Shaanxi, and each county must have a police station, a health bureau, an education bureau, a finance bureau, a taxation bureau, an agricultural bureau, a transportation bureau, and an industrial and commercial bureau. In view of the fact that the literacy rate of the common people in our western region is generally not high and the level of education is low, I have decided that all citizens under my rule can participate in the selection and evaluation of officials as long as they are literate, and those who have performed well in their posts can also be promoted to officials. But this is only temporary, and all the officials under my rule in the future must be filled by students who have graduated from various universities. What do you think of my opinion? ”

All of you here are smart people, and they have all studied the administrative model of Shaanxi, and they are silent after listening to Zhao Kang's words. After a long time, Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, stood up and spoke with some restraint: "Master Inspector, in this way, the administrative system and official selection system of our five provinces will have a big conflict with the court!" This is already a separatist party, isn't the Inspector afraid of the court's blame? ”
