In fact, there are more than 20 officials above the fourth grade in Shaanxi, but the prefecture and the county have come to attend the meeting, and the number of people is naturally quite a lot.

Although everyone talked about it, Su Tiancheng has always been very calm.

It has been less than a month since many prefects took office, and it seems that the time to hold such a large meeting at this time is a little inappropriate, if it is not an urgent matter, there is no need for such a big move.

Qu Qingze, Su Pingyang, Deng Hui and others, although they don't know the reason for the meeting, they firmly believe that Su Tiancheng insisted on convening this meeting, there must be a reason, if there are any requirements, they will do it according to Su Tiancheng's requirements, it will be fine, as for Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang, they are still in the familiar stage, they have just entered the officialdom, and they are in such a poor place, so they naturally have to enter the role as soon as possible.

The only one who disagrees is Chen Yutai.

Chen Yutai's understanding is still a cliché, convening such a meeting, first of all, it is not in line with the ancestral system, I have never seen which governor has held such a meeting, unheard of, besides, now it is also the peasant season, a lot of things are busy, for a barren land like Shaanxi, the peasant season is particularly important.

Su Tiancheng was a little speechless about Chen Yutai, no wonder Chen Yutai was always unpopular when he was in the capital, and he seemed to be self-absorbed.

Su Tiancheng faintly felt that Chen Yutai had come to Shaanxi. It is a mistake in one's own decision-making, although Gongchang Mansion is not the focus of Shaanxi, but Gongchang Mansion has a very large territory, and if it cannot do a good job in construction according to the requirements of the governor's yamen, it will eventually be delayed. Another serious problem caused is that the Liukou will take the opportunity to move to Gongchang Mansion, from the geographical point of view, Gongchang Mansion is close to Sichuan and Lintao Mansion, and the scope of Liukou's activities is still very large.

At this moment, Su Tiancheng even thought about whether to adjust Chen Yutai's position, but unfortunately such an idea could not be realized. The holy decree has just been issued, and all the work has just been rolled out, and at this time, it is impossible to adjust the personnel, and there is no suitable reason to find it.

The duration of the meeting is only half a day. Once again, this was something that no one expected.

When Pu Kaiqiang, Zuo Xiaohu and Tan Zongliang entered the governor's yamen, they were also confused. I don't know why Lu Dao convened this meeting, and I don't know how Lu Dao Su Tiancheng thought of such a form, there has never been such a thing before, that is, what is to be arranged, most of them are governors who go directly to various places, all these years. Because of the wanton raids of the rogues, the governor basically never left the yamen, and if there was anything, he asked the officials below to go to the governor's yamen.

The meeting was held in the lobby.

The chairs are all set up, and the backrests are top. Write everyone's name and sit in the right seat.

The seats of Pu Kaiqiang, Zuo Xiaohu and Tan Zongliang leaned on Su Tiancheng.

When Su Tiancheng entered the lobby, everyone had arrived.

Walked straight to the seat, Su Tiancheng did not sit down, and spoke directly.

"Colleagues, this is the first meeting I held after I took office in Shaanxi, maybe everyone feels strange about this form, but I want to tell you, this kind of form, in the future, will be fixed, several times a year to hold such a meeting, the main purpose, in addition to arranging government affairs, but also to supervise your work, from the next meeting, the prefect of Fuzhou County, the prefect of the prefecture and the prefect of the county, must be prepared to report their work to everyone, including all the situation in your place."

Such an opening remark made everyone quiet, thinking of reporting their work in front of everyone, some people sweated on their faces, if they reported their work in such a situation, they couldn't really do their work, and when they reported, wouldn't they slap themselves in the face.

"Today, I summoned you to the governor's yamen, mainly for one thing, about cultivated land."

"The situation of cultivated land in Shaanxi Province, I don't need to say more, you are all clear, there are two major problems at present, the first is that when sowing winter wheat, some farmers have no arable land to cultivate, and the second is a large amount of land abandoned, these lands, most of them are the land of the gentry and wealthy households, Wei Weilu has so much empty land, the reasons are many, we do not analyze."

"It's very interesting that there is no arable land to cultivate, and on the other hand, there is a large amount of abandoned arable land, but unfortunately the government can't do anything about it."

"Sowing winter wheat is important to Shaanxi farmers, you all know, if you can't sow winter wheat well this year, when the spring of the next year comes, the people will have no food to eat, and the displaced people will wander around, and when the time comes, the government will not have so much ability to help."

"In the face of such a situation, as the governor of Shaanxi, of course I can't sit idly by, I thought about it for so long, and finally thought of a way, summoning you, that is, asking you to do what I say."

"It needs to be particularly emphasized that this meeting is a task arranged by the governor's yamen, there is no room for bargaining, and the governor's yamen is fully responsible for the consequences, as for saying that if you can't complete the task, then take off your official hat and go to the people, and one more point, I have emphasized that this is a task, and you don't need to comment on whether it is right or wrong, everything is the responsibility of the governor's yamen."

The hall became quieter and quieter, the subordinates obeyed the superiors, of course everyone understood, but what everyone didn't know was whether the court agreed to the method that Su Tiancheng was about to say.

"What needs to be done by you, in the final analysis, is one thing, all idle cultivated land, all cultivated, after you go back, quickly count the idle cultivated land, according to the population of the county, lease these lands to farmers who lack land, or even farmers who have no land to cultivate, as for the seeds of winter wheat, the governor yamen has allocated silver taels, the problem of seeds must be solved, if anyone dares to be greedy for ink and silver taels, the sword of the governor yamen will fall on your head."

"You may be exclaiming, these cultivated land, although it is said that it is idle, but there is still a master, is the land of the gentry and wealthy households, because these gentry and rich households have left the local area, temporarily went to other places, and have no time to take care of the cultivated land, if they are cultivated at will, will not cause a big incident, I am not an unreasonable person, after the prefect Yamen returned, immediately issued an announcement, the content of the announcement was formulated by the governor of the Yamen, which means to remind those gentry and rich households, return to the local area within three days, properly dispose of these cultivated land, if it exceeds the time, the government will make unified arrangements. ”

"There is another thing that must be done well for the wealthy gentry who return to the local area to arrange arable land, that is, according to the rules set by the government, to provide seeds for the tenants, and the tenants must be allowed to plant winter wheat.

"As for the rental fee, the governor's yamen will formulate a unified standard, no matter who it is, it must be implemented in accordance with this rule, if there are gentry and wealthy households who do not follow this regulation, when the governor's yamen asks for guilt, they will also use the sword of Shangfang."

"The task has been assigned, you must remember that in three days, the cultivated land must be implemented, except for Hanzhong Prefecture, because of the special situation, it can be considered separately, and the rest of the prefectures and counties must be done well." ……

When Su Tiancheng spoke, he was always paying attention to everyone's expressions.

Most of the officials were pale, and they probably didn't expect that Su Tiancheng would make such an arrangement.

Su Tiancheng didn't care about everyone's expressions, and arranged everything according to his own ideas.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the task has been arranged, the rest is for you to implement, the governor of the yamen directly asked the prefects, the prefect urged the prefect and the county to implement the task, everyone knows the way, not long ago, Lord Qu and I went to Xingping County, cut off the heads of several officials, here, I might as well remind you, you are all parents and officials, is the people's food and clothing parents, as parents, naturally have to care about their children, if you always want to be powerful, wouldn't it be upside down."

"Therefore, the governor's yamen will never tolerate this kind of oppression of the people, no matter what your identity is, as long as you dare to violate, dare to prey on the people, or even arouse the anger of the people, then the governor will take your head."

"Maybe you will think that I am harsh, think that the common people are all bad people, can not be polite, here, I am also domineering, no matter how tricky the people are, you must do it according to the requirements of the governor's yamen, and use heavy codes in troubled times, I hope you don't touch the limelight, otherwise I'm sorry."

This is tantamount to putting a tight spell on all officials, firmly tying everyone up, on the contrary, loosening the bonds for the common people, for many officials, it must be unbearable, not to mention that most of the people here are scholars, have a natural advantage, and never really take the people seriously.

It's a pity that Su Tiancheng has the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, and he doesn't need to ask for a decree at all, if he kills it, he will kill it, and you have no place to tell your grievances.

From this point of view, for the requirements of the governor's yamen, the officials of Fuzhou and counties must also implement them if they are convinced, and they must also implement them if they are not convinced, and there is no room for justification.

This kind of domineering, it can be said that the emperor has never done this. The vast majority of those present here are scholars, and they are deeply influenced by Qingliu's thoughts, and after they understand it, they must have to speak. (To be continued......)
