"Then Liu Lichuan will never descend to the Metropolitan Governor!"
After the meeting in the council hall was over, Hu Linyi looked at the Metropolitan Governor and said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As the governor of the Zhongshu Division, his status is not inferior to that of the military government to a certain extent, after all, this Zhongshu Department is directly subordinate to the Metropolitan Governor.
Although the government system of the Governor's Mansion is dominated by the system of the present, it does not mean that Zhu Yifeng is not adulterated with private goods, just as he said that he could not call the Ministry of Household the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of War into the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce as the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, but he could "modernize" it through its subordinate departments, just as this Chinese calligraphy department is, to a certain extent, equivalent to the direct office of the leader of later generations, and Hu Linyi is equivalent to his secretary.
The only difference is the name, just the name. Of course, in terms of its nature, the Chinese calligraphy department is also Zhu Yifeng's confidant. ā
"After all, in comparison, we can't give him Liu Lichuan much, if he needs a foreign gun, he can buy it directly in Shanghai, as far as the establishment of the official system is concerned, his plan is not small! Moreover, he is far away in Shanghai, even if the governor gives conditions and accepts him into the government, the final support is just a person who listens to the seal and does not listen to the tune, so the gains outweigh the losses! ā
"Hmm!"
Nodding, Zhu Yifeng agreed.
"That's true, listen to the seal and don't listen to the tune...... This is indeed a problem, and when Liu Lichuan said that at the root, if it weren't for the situation, he wouldn't even join the Taiping Army, he was an ambitious person! ā
In the troubled times, everyone has ambitions, Hong Xiuquan opened this troubled world, Liu Lichuan wants to fight and win in this troubled world. In this way, even if he accepts it for his own use, it is just the same as his current relationship with the Taiping Army, and he just listens to the seal and does not listen to it.
"Yes! The so-called generalissimo of the Ming Kingdom is just a beginning, to be honest, he is called the generalissimo today, and he may think that he is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom......"
When the words fell, Hu Linyi deliberately observed the Grand Governor, although the Grand Governor never said his origin, but they had already intentionally or unintentionally associated it with Zhu Ming's descendants, and even now in Hunan, it has been "quietly" transmitted, and Zuo Zongtang is playing a role in adding fuel to the fire.
The reason why this is so is to win the hearts of the people, whether it is the Elder Brothers' Association in Hunan or the Heaven and Earth Society, they are all pursuing the purpose of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", with this layer of "clothes", they can naturally win the hearts of some people, and on the other hand, they can also win the hearts of the gentry, at least in the eyes of the gentry, most of the governors are different from Hong Yang and others.
"This kind of person ......"
With a sneer, Zhu Yifeng sneered.
"The career has not yet been determined, so many officials have been sealed, and they all regard themselves as emperors, how can they succeed? Even if the Taiping army is like a success? ā
"Therefore, the ministers only entered the governor's mansion, and the appointment of most governors to the ministers is even more unprecedented! Only the ministers can repay the grace of the Metropolitan Governor! ā
This is indeed Hu Linyi's heartfelt words, whether it is him, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Liangji, Luo Bingzhang, most of the governors not only trust, but also used for prominent positions, such courage is even more than the ancient Ming monarchs, and it is this kind of trust and the grace of knowledge that makes Hu Linyi and others all have the heart to repay with death.
This compliment that was not sycophant made Zhu Yifeng smile, looked at Hu Linyi and said.
"yes, yes. As the saying goes, kings and ministers are in trouble, and such a life and death encounter is even more rare in a lifetime. Because of its difficulty, the Governor is also easily unwilling to talk about the situation, and he does not expect you and Ji Gao to repay my kindness. Sage Cloud: A gentleman loves people with virtue. The governor has always employed people out of public heart, and never uses small favors and small wisdom to win people together. Of course, you want to get it, but this governor wants to be the lord of the first life with you. ā
Although on the surface, Zhu Yifeng is only the governor of the capital, but now he has adapted to using this "difference between monarchs and ministers", but with the "monarchs and ministers" in this governor's mansion, he has become a "lord and minister", and his words are also heartfelt, the reason why he will stay with Hu Linyi is because he understands this person and understands his talents. And his sentence "the lord of the first generation" was heard in Hu Linyi's ears, which made him bow quite excitedly.
"The minister Hu Linyi is blessed by the governor of the capital, and the minister only knows that he must be loyal to the governor of the capital, and the others are things outside the body, and the minister never thinks about it. The words of the Metropolitan Governor Shicai's 'forgetting to repay the favor' are not dared to be taken seriously. ā
For Hu Linyi, who was not born on the right path of the imperial examination, he knew that although the governor's mansion did not value his background, and there were many scholars who had not entered the right path to join the governor's mansion to seek a background, but for Hu Linyi, who was born in the donation, he was still grateful for this kindness.
Hearing him say this, Zhu Yifeng smiled in his heart: Oh, this person speaks very decently, and he is also very good at doing what people like, so you can't find fault with him. But what is this knowledge? For yourself, if you want to win the world, isn't it just to make an exception to employ people? How else can it be done? Without them, can you still have people with two ambitions? Thinking of this, Zhu Yifeng said with a smile.
"Well, good. Public, loyal, and capable, all three are available, it's rare! How can Zhu be able to get Runzhi's help! ā
The words of the Grand Governor made Hu Linyi bow again, and being able to get such an evaluation made his face shine.
"The minister can get the comment of the three words of 'public, loyal, and can' of the governor, although he has no regrets after nine deaths, he can only serve the governor with broken bones!"
The Metropolitan Governor commented on himself like this, which only made Hu Linyi's heart not mention the pride. For courtiers, sometimes such an evaluation is needed.
Looking at Hu Linyi, Zhu Yifeng stared at him for a long time before saying.
"Liu Lichuan's matter, let's put it aside for the time being! No hurry! ā
It's not that he is not in a hurry, but Liu Lichuan can't affect the overall situation, even if history is changing now, just because of his ambition and arrogant separatism that are not compatible with his strength, how can he be a person who can succeed, even if he can't do it...... Then ignore him. If you support him now, you will have to suppress him in the future, and it is better to solve this future trouble with the help of the Qing army.
Then, the two did not talk about the "encounter between the monarch and the minister", but discussed the matter, as his chief of staff, Hu Linyi gave him advice on some issues from time to time, and his suggestions, although Zhu Yifeng did not fully adopt them, and Zhu Yifeng did benefit a lot from his suggestions, after discussing the political affairs in the house, Zhu Yifeng asked again.
"Runzhi, is there any news from Nanjing recently? What about the office we set up there? ā
The establishment of an office with Nanjing was a condition negotiated to assist the Taiping Army in the Northern Expedition, and the reason for setting up an office was to seize the market with foreign merchants in Nanjing, and now Nanjing is full of adventurers, merchants, and even foreign smugglers who have opened gun shops with Nanjing, and now those people are eating away at their "business" little by little.
As far as the Governor's Office is concerned, trade with the Taiping Army is the most important income of the Governor's Office, and even 20% of the Governor's expenses come from this, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Yifeng will mention this matter, after all, this matter is directly responsible for the Governor's Office, and it is the Zhongshu Department that is directly responsible for this matter.
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, a letter just came from Nanjing the day before yesterday, and the letter said that they had lived in the Dabao'en Temple......"
When mentioning the Dabao'en Temple, Hu Linyi deliberately glanced at the Dadu Governor, and the office in the Dabao'en Temple was specially requested when discussing with Nanjing, so this request was made by the Dadu Governor. The ostensible reason is that the temple is located outside the city, which is convenient for communication with the pier, but what is the actual reason?
When it comes to the root of it, there is still a distrust of the Taiping Army. The office is located outside the city, so that you can easily escape from the city at any time without being troubled by the city.
"Well, that's good......"
Nodding vigorously, Zhu Yifeng's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why he chose Da Bao En Temple as the office in the first place, the fundamental reason is to keep the glazed pagoda of Da Bao En Temple in Da Bao En Temple, the glazed pagoda known as "China's first tower" was destroyed in the civil strife of the Taiping Army, maybe he has no way to keep the collection of books in Yangzhou Wenhui Pavilion and Zhenjiang Wenzong Pavilion, but at least try to keep the glazed pagoda of Da Bao En Temple, and it is really unbearable to see such a place destroyed by war.
"Governor, this place is really not cheap, for this place, we gave them 1,200 guns!"
The place is not for nothing, but bought, bought with guns!
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive......"
Now it no longer belongs to the Taiping Army, but its own private property - the Great Bao'en Temple is the private residence of the "prime minister" of the heavenly kingdom, of course, this is an external explanation, and at the same time, it is equivalent to the "envoy" sent to Nanjing, which can directly solve some problems.
"Don't forget, we have one hundred and fifty guards there, they are almost equal to the dark chess we planted in Nanjing, although it is not in the city, but this dark chess may come in handy in the future! Sometimes something isn't measured in money! ā
Not everything can be measured in money. This chess piece under the subordinates in Nanjing is, and the glazed pagoda of Dabao'en Temple is also the same, no matter what the final result is, at least I have tried and worked hard.
"What the Governor said is very true! The establishment of an office in Nanjing will not only consolidate the trade between me and Nanjing, but also ensure the passage of ships from Nanjing, and after the establishment of this office, dozens of scholars from Jiangsu and other places have quietly defected to me, and they are currently hiding in the office, and when the ships pass by, they can come to Wuchang by boat to join the governor's mansion, and now our governor's mansion can be said to be the desire of the people! In the long run, the Su Wan scholar will be used by the governor's office! (To be continued.) )
