Chapter 477: Privileged Governor

After seven years, along the way, Su Tiancheng has fully adapted to the life of Daming, his career is also rising step by step from the grassroots level, the township test, the meeting test and the palace test, it is very stable, not alarmed, the identity of the palace test list, so that he has a lot of room for activities, when he chose to go out, this choice that everyone can not understand, and now it also shows a good effect, however, at the age of twenty-five, he became the governor of Shaanxi, which was still beyond his expectations.

If you compare it according to a few hundred years later, it is to become the secretary of the provincial party committee, and at the age of twenty-five, you should not dream of such unrealistic ideas.

However, after all, the Ming Dynasty is very different from a few hundred years later, especially in the management system, there is a typical disparity, in general, the provincial party secretary after a few hundred years, the power is much greater.

Although Su Tiancheng is the governor, but in the appointment of officials, there are still restrictions, the fifth grade or less, the seventh grade or above, all have to pass the official assessment, the fourth grade includes the fourth grade and above the officials, when appointed, the emperor needs to personally test the school, all the officials above the seventh grade are appointed through the form of holy decree.

In other words, the power to appoint officials is mainly vested in the ministry and the cabinet.

It has been like this for hundreds of years, and the governors everywhere have long been accustomed to it.

But Su Tiancheng can't get used to it, if he can't grasp the appointment and dismissal power of officials, he can't let go of his hands and feet to do things, in many ways, he must be restricted, if it is an official in a certain place in Shaanxi, and the above has an unusual relationship, he, the governor, at most, will drive people away, and in terms of official adjustment, he is also shrinking, as a governor, the focus is to manage the prefect, the prefecture and the county. If we manage these supervisors well, we will be able to do a good job in Shaanxi.

The power to appoint and dismiss personnel comes first, and only when officials are in control can they do a lot of things, including economic reform and fine-tuning of land policies.

Hundreds of years later. The Special Economic Zone exists, and it is not impossible to move the concept at that time to the Ming Dynasty, besides, things are man-made, and how to operate it specifically, Su Tiancheng still has a number in his heart.

Zhu Youzhen was very strange, and Su Tiancheng took the initiative to ask to see him. This is the first time, although Su Tiancheng has made a lot of contributions, and even risked the disapproval of the sky, and proposed the matter of the royal family to enter the court to participate in politics, but every time he came to the capital, he was summoned by himself, Su Tiancheng has a good quality, and never takes the initiative to befriend the powerful. Always do things in obscurity.

So, after receiving the report. Zhu Youzhen immediately asked the eunuch beside him to pass on Su Tiancheng to meet him.

Seeing Su Tiancheng gasping slightly and entering the Heart Nourishing Palace, Zhu Youzhen had a smile on his face, these days, he finally thoroughly pondered Su Tiancheng's twists and turns, and the meaning revealed in it. It is undoubtedly to strengthen the imperial power and restrain the power of the ministers, the internal connection between these things, Zhu Youzhen does not understand it too well, and no one has told him the system, this time. After careful analysis and speculation, I finally understood some strange things.

"Su Aiqing, why did you think about taking the initiative to see me."

"Your Majesty, the minister is asking to see you for the sake of Shaanxi Province."

"Oh, I know that Shaanxi Province is facing many difficulties, there is the nest of the rogues, and now there are still hundreds of thousands of rogues, it must be difficult to govern, you arrive in Shaanxi, don't worry, just govern slowly, I give you five years, you need the court to give money, or food, you just write a song to fold it."

"The minister didn't say these things."

Zhu Youzhen is a little strange, he doesn't want silver, he doesn't want food, what else do he need.

"Your Majesty, the ministers want policies."

"Oh, that's easy to say, I gave you the sword of Shang Fang, you can do it cheaply."

"It's not just Shang Fang's sword that the minister wants."

"Then tell me, what else do you want."

"Your Majesty, the minister is asking for special powers, or policies, and the minister has three requirements, first, the minister can appoint and dismiss officials in Shaanxi on his own, including recall, second, the minister can implement some policies on his own, including land policies, and third, the minister implores to get the emperor's trust, and the minister looks forward to getting the emperor's greatest trust during the reign of Shaanxi."

Seeing a look of surprise on Zhu Youzhen's face, Su Tiancheng hurriedly continued.

"Your Majesty, the minister's meaning, Shaanxi Province is still in accordance with the will of the imperial court to do things, but the minister does not want to be too constrained, Shaanxi has experienced many years of turmoil, the situation is very special, if there is no thunder means, it is difficult to govern, if the emperor gives the minister these conditions, the minister can guarantee that within three years, govern Shaanxi."

Zhu Youzhen thought about it for a while, he understood what Su Tiancheng meant, but he wanted to know the deep-seated reasons of the Dao.

"Su Aiqing, if you make these requests, I can agree, it's not too difficult, but I need to know why you made such a request."

"Your Majesty, the minister needs to order and prohibit, up and down, if the official Yang Feng Yin violated, still according to the previous style to do things, the minister has no way to manage, the minister in Jiangning County and Henan Mansion, the place is not big, the minister can practice it, in fact, such a practice, when in Henan Mansion, it is a little difficult, but the emperor approved the minister's twists, Henan Prefecture and thirteen counties of Zhizhou Zhi County, and the minister's idea is similar, many things, can be implemented very well, but in Shaanxi Province, such a practice, It's impossible to have a good effect. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Shaanxi Province is special, when the minister arrives there, he must use some extraordinary means, and the resistance encountered is also conceivable, as long as the interests of the magnates are touched, they will inevitably form a group, in Shaanxi Province, the ministers have nothing to worry about, but these magnates are not necessarily active in Shaanxi Province, they may come to the capital, find the ministers of the court, and say bad things about the ministers, in this case, the ministers need to get the emperor's trust, otherwise, many of the ministers' ideas can not be put into practice."

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak for a long time.

Su Tiancheng's request, in his opinion, may be excessive, if it is discussed in the middle of the court, such a request will definitely not pass, the power of the ministry and the cabinet has been restricted, in Shaanxi, Su Tiancheng's authority is the greatest, more than the ministry and the cabinet, if it is someone else, Zhu Youzhen will not think about it, and immediately vetoed it, but Su Tiancheng put it forward, Zhu Youzhen will not refuse.

Zhu Youzhen has the most simple understanding that everything Su Tiancheng does is for the court, for the Ming Dynasty, and even for himself, the emperor.

"Okay, I can promise you, but if I agree to your request, shouldn't you also give me a clear word?"

"Your Majesty, the minister went to Shaanxi, he didn't want the preferential policies of the imperial court, he still paid taxes, and the minister promised two things, the first thing, within two years, to exterminate the rogues in Shaanxi, and the second thing, within three years, let the people of Shaanxi Province be self-sufficient, and there would be no homeless people in Shaanxi."

Zhu Youzhen stood up suddenly.

"Okay, okay, this is the best promise I have ever heard, and only Su Aiqing, dare to say this, I can't be too harsh, you go to Shaanxi Province to take office, I can't be stingy, I agree to your request, and give you a million taels of silver, you go to Shaanxi Province, just do things, I will be your backing."

"The emperor is so sympathetic to the ministers, the ministers must do their best to do a good job in Shaanxi Province, the ministers will always report to the emperor about the affairs of Shaanxi Province, the ministers still implore the emperor, don't believe the words of others, the three of them become tigers, if the emperor is worried, the ministers will not be able to do things in Shaanxi."

Zhu Youzhen paused for a moment, and randomly laughed.

"Su Aiqing, you are the only one who can question me so much, I know the Tao of these three people becoming tigers, but you also have to know the Tao, over the years, many people have talked about you in front of me, and I haven't listened, so don't worry about anything, just do something."

Su Tiancheng knelt down to thank him, but he still muttered a little in his heart, he still knew a little about the situation in the court, and Zhu Youzhen also hesitated and doubted, but he got help from Wang Chengen, Dong Chang and others.

As expected, Zhu Youzhen said at the court meeting that when he gave Su Tiancheng privileges and governed Shaanxi Province, many ministers have been opposed, thinking that this is not in accordance with the rules, and even has the imperial history and the matter to say it, which is equivalent to rebellion, if the governor of Shaanxi acts alone and does not listen to the command of the imperial court, then it is okay, other provinces do this, and the imperial court can still manage something.

Zhu Youzhen's attitude was very resolute, and he unceremoniously asked many ministers what the situation was in Shaanxi, and the ministers of the DPRK and China all knew the truth, and who could guarantee that the problem of the displaced people in Shaanxi Province would be eliminated within two years, and the problem of the displaced people in Shaanxi Province would be solved within three years, so that there would be no more displaced people in Shaanxi Province, and they could also get such privileges, otherwise they should not open their mouths to oppose it.

After Zhu Youzhen's words were spoken, there was silence in the hall, no one thought that Su Tiancheng dared to make such a statement, not to mention Shaanxi, that is, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and even Beizhili, whose conditions are far better than Shaanxi, no one dared to make such a statement, it was easy to say, but it was not easy to do.

Su Tiancheng participated in this court meeting, and he didn't say a word.

When Wang Chengen read out the holy decree, Su Tiancheng knelt down and listened silently, but still did not speak.

Many ministers had complicated eyes, and they watched Su Tiancheng take over the sword of the holy decree monk Fang, which indicated that in the future of Shaanxi Province, Su Tiancheng had the final say, no wonder Lu Shanji succeeded the military affairs of the governor's four provinces, and it had already been arranged.

There are also some ministers waiting to see the jokes, Su Tiancheng's actions have exceeded their ability to bear, but Su Tiancheng has established too many meritorious deeds and gained the trust of the emperor, so he cannot be impeached for the time being, but two years will pass soon, and when the time comes, Su Tiancheng will not be able to exterminate the rogue, so he will wait for everyone's impeachment.
