The next morning, Meng Jiucheng took Liang Ertie and other entourages to the state capital to ask for a meeting. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw the benefits of marrying Lu Chenghuan at this time, and with him taking care of him, Meng Jiucheng didn't wait for a while, he was introduced into the mansion and was summoned by Ying Chunzhi.

Young, well-behaved, neither humble nor arrogant. Meng Jiucheng's first impression is basically the same, in the end, it is still the thinking and acting habits of later generations that are difficult to change. In fact, it is also the kind of self-confidence in the heart that is at work, if you are together, you will stay, and if you don't, you will go, even if the traverser can't prosper the king, the rich side and overseas can still do it, right?

Of course, Meng Jiucheng did not look down on the ancients. If he is comfortable in politics, or intrigues in the court, he will not dare to be arrogant. That's why he chose a military-oriented path.

After Meng Jiucheng finished the visit, he reported the official affairs one by one. Taking thieves, reassuring the people, building cities, forming militia groups, etc., are all the achievements of Baoying County, and they are also the measures advocated and supervised by Ying Chunzhi, and they are naturally the performance of Ying Chunzhi's "good leadership".

Ying Chunzhi flipped through the official documents submitted, and without asking a few questions, although there was relief and appreciation in his expression, he also had some doubts.

In Chuzhou, he mobilized the military and civilians to work together, and greatly exceeded Baoying in the number of laborers; Baoying County, on the other hand, mainly uses the displaced people from the north and some local people, but the progress of the project is surprising. Jia Shi is also very confident, and said in the official document that he will strive to complete the construction of the city this year, and then dredge Wangzhigang next year to lead to Sheyang Lake.

When Ying Chunzhi saw the various measures of overall management sorted out by Meng Jiucheng in the official document, he couldn't help but think about it, and then bowed his head slightly, and believed a little more in the achievements of Baoying County.

Mobilizing the army and civilians to build cities and dig lakes is of course not done in vain, and the government always has to pay some money and food. However, there is no zoning contracting, and there is no reward mechanism for more work, and of course it cannot stimulate all people's enthusiasm for work. If it is said that people's minds at that time were simple and would not be lazy and slippery, it is indeed a bit wishful thinking.

And Meng Jiucheng wrote in great detail, not listing all kinds of measures, but also explaining why he did it, the benefits of doing it, and the comparison of data later, which is clear at a glance.

Ying Chunzhi asked a few questions casually, and Meng Jiu's CD answered them fluently, which was the same as in the official document reported.

"The construction of the city is in charge of Meng Zhisi, Jia Zhixian is very satisfied, but he does not hesitate to praise it!" Ying Chunzhi's shelf is not big, and he often runs around, he has a hands-on style, he looks up and smiles and speaks, which looks very kind.

"The Lord of Mengzhi County is promoted, and his humble duties are just due diligence." Meng Jiucheng arched his hand to show humility.

"If you can do your duty, you are a good official, and you are a good official." Ying Chunzhi really looked at Meng Jiucheng carefully this time, nodded and said: "Both young and less impetuous, he is indeed a rare talent." ”

"The public is rewarded, and I dare not be ashamed." Meng Jiucheng paused for a moment and continued: "The situation in each state and county is different, what works in Baoying may not be easy in other places. ”

"It's really important to adapt to local conditions." Ying Chunzhi pondered for a moment and said: "Shanyang (Chuzhou Prefecture, now Huai'an) is adjacent to Baoying, and the situation is generally similar. The northerners continue to cross south from Shandong and Jianghuai, and if they can make good use of it, they can make it for the people and soldiers. However, if it is not properly placed, it is also a local disaster. If you are like a treasure, you will do a good job. ”

Meng Jiucheng immediately grasped this and said in a deep voice: "I feel that the northerners are brave, and they may be able to help fight against gold. If they are left to serve the people, there will be less land and more people, and it will be difficult for the local government to fully resettle them. ”

Ying Chunzhi was a little hesitant, although the Northland Righteous Army resisted Jin, they also robbed homes and robbed prefectures and counties. Although he also thinks that it may be possible to join forces to fight gold, there is no suitable strategy for how to proceed and how to deal with it.

Meng Jiucheng decided to continue to say that it was a big deal that Ying Chunzhi did not accept it, but it was impossible to reduce the guilt.

He arched his hand upwards and said: "Yesterday, I met a northerner named Ji Xian in the restaurant, and now Huaiyuan is a citizen, who was once the old department of Yang An'er of the Shandong Righteous Army, and fought with the Jin people. According to him, Yang An'er and other leaders of the rebel army had the heart to return to the Song Dynasty, but they didn't know the meaning of the imperial court and didn't dare to act rashly. ”

Ying Chunzhi lowered his eyelids slightly, thought about it, and did not answer immediately.

At that time, during the critical period of changes in the relationship between Song and Jin, it was not only the imperial court that decided the relevant policies, but also the local officials played a very important role. Ying Chunzhi's superiors, Li Jue and Cui He, two important figures in Huaidong's defense, naturally also have an important impact on Ying Chunzhi's behavior.

Li Jue is the envoy of the Jianghuai system, and also knows the Jiankang Mansion, is the chief of border affairs, and is responsible for the important minister of the barrier Beijing Division; Cui He is the governor of Yangzhou and in charge of Huaidong's pacification affairs, and is an important person in charge of Jiangbei's defense.

These two senior officials were well aware that the relationship between Song and Jin was weak and that the peace treaty would not last, and they both felt that the border defense was weak, so they should support Chunzhi's fortification of the city and the border consolidation.

However, Cui He emphasized guarding the royal and his attitude towards recruiting northerners was more reserved and cautious; Li Yu actively fought the main battle, plotted to recover, deliberately recruited northerners, and even tried to use these people to reconnoiter the enemy, attack and harass the Jin soldiers, and encourage them to engage in the cause of restoring their homeland.

Just before the outbreak of the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Huaidong continued to intrude on the Lianshui and East China Seas in the Jinjing, as well as the siege of Sizhou, which should be related to Li Yu's planning.

Ying Chun is between the two officials whose attitudes are not completely consistent, and the imperial court has no will, how dare he make a decision lightly?

Of course, Meng Jiucheng is also well aware of this, and now he is expressing his views and ideas, but it is just for future use. And telling Ying Chunzhi about Ji Xian is also a favor, and he doesn't hope to succeed immediately.

As for Ji Xian, who is recorded in history, persuaded Ying Chunzhi to recruit the northerners to form a loyal army, Meng Jiucheng believes that it is due to the situation, not how powerful Ji Xian is and how wise Ying Chunzhi is.

If it weren't for the acquiescence of the Song Dynasty and the support of Li Yu or Cui He, how could Ying Chunzhi have so much courage, how could he have so much power, and he would not have so much money and food to support the loyal army.

In other words, how to bloom the lotus flower now is of little use, but it can only let Ying Chunzhi know that Meng Jiucheng is interested in this. And Ying Chunzhi is not a short-sighted person who rests on his laurels, once the situation changes, he will naturally choose to use the northerners to try to recover.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ying Chunzhi did not make a decision, but smiled faintly and said: "If they have a loyal heart, the court will take measures. However, the border defense is still weak, and the combat preparations are not abundant, but it will take some time. ”

Many people saw the decline of the Jin Kingdom, and the hardliners in the Song court raised their heads, and Ying Chunzhi knew about it. He expected that the policy of the imperial court might change, and he was in an important border town, recruiting the rebels in the north, and the power in his hands would definitely increase, and it was not impossible to integrate the military and the government.
