When the decree was read, everyone stood up.

Pu Kaiqiang and others, the most attention is Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang, these two are serious vassal kings and vassal princes, the identities of the people are different, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, after the officials of the court see the vassal king and the prince of the vassal king, they still have to take the initiative to salute, although these vassal kings have no political power, but after all, they are royal people, and their status is noble.

The rest of the people also paid attention to Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang, and seemed to want to greet them, but they didn't know what to do, and the etiquette was not very easy to grasp.

Su Tiancheng had expected such a situation a long time ago, Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang came to Shaanxi, both of them are prefects, and their official positions are not very big, but their identities are too noble, so Su Tiancheng must be clear about some requirements.

"Okay, the holy decree has been read, and all of you colleagues have also received the holy decree, and you are about to take office.

The crowd soon fell silent.

"His Royal Highness King Jin and Prince Fu came to Shaanxi and served as the prefect, this is our honor for Shaanxi, such a poor place, the two of them are afraid to endure hardship, but in any case, His Royal Highness King Jin and Prince Fu Wang are the first royal people to enter the imperial court, and their status is noble."

"I first have to talk about this etiquette, according to the rules of the imperial court, even if I see His Royal Highness King Jin and King Fu's prince, I have to salute, but that was the previous situation, the two are now court officials, so we need to combine the rules of the court with the rules of the royal family."

"You will all have to do things together in the future, and although you are in different places, you may have a lot of contact on weekdays, and if the etiquette is not in place. I'm afraid there is something wrong, His Royal Highness King Jin and Prince Fu are aware of the powerful relationship inside, to put it mildly, there are many adults in the court, who are staring at this kind of situation. A little carelessness in etiquette will definitely lead to a large number of impeachment proceedings, and I can push it back once or twice, but I can't completely ignore it if there are too many times. ”

"No etiquette, too much etiquette, so what should we do, there is no precedent in front, today we will set the rules. To facilitate future operations and deal with government affairs, His Royal Highness King Jin and Prince Fu come in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, you are the prefect, and when you see Lord Pu, Lord Zuo and Lord Tan, you still have to take the initiative to salute, and you will come in accordance with the previous rules in contact on weekdays. ”

The lobby is very quiet. Many people didn't expect that Su Tiancheng would talk about such a small thing.

Actually, this is not a trivial matter. is a very important thing.

Before leaving the capital, Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong and others specifically talked about this matter, the emperor and the court are all concerned about etiquette, Confucian education, etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith. Etiquette is put in the first place, if the etiquette is messed up, or you don't pay much attention to it in normal times, and it is discovered by the imperial history or the matter in the court, it is a great opportunity for them to make a fuss.

The vassal king and the prince of the vassal entered the imperial court as officials. It is conceivable that in the process of implementation, there will be many problems, which requires the royal children who enter the court as officials to pay attention to themselves, but the officials above should be reminded more.

This time there are not many royal children who entered the court as officials, a total of twelve people, no one stayed in the capital, the smallest official position is the magistrate, but they are all serving as chief officials, there are no adjutants, except for Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang, the rest of the people all went to Nanzhili, the conditions of Nanzhili are relatively better, and the rules of Nanzhili are similar to the rules of the capital, and they can pay attention to etiquette very well, so as not to make any jokes in this regard.

The balancing technique that Su Tiancheng said is also reflected in this matter, this time the twelve people are as if Sun Chengzong and others were selected, to ensure that the quality is good, and the advice given by the cabinet is to spend a year to see the performance of these twelve vassal kings or the princes of the vassal kings, if the performance is good, this policy will continue to be implemented, if the performance is not good, or even bad, then this policy may die.

Su Tiancheng, who knows the inside story, is of course extra careful, he needs Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang to make real achievements in Shaanxi Province.

"I don't want to emphasize too much, the situation in Shaanxi Province, you are also aware, the poor here are not only the people, including the government, the people are poor, unable to pay taxes, the gentry and rich families left Shaanxi in large numbers, it is even worse, the government can not collect taxes, and silver can not be born out of thin air, so poverty is also a natural thing."

"Therefore, when you take office, you must first be prepared to endure hardships, pleasure is definitely not good, if someone has such an idea, then don't come to Shaanxi, or you think you can't bear it, you can put it forward now, there is still time."

No one will say that they can't bear it, but Su Tiancheng still has to emphasize.

"Speaking of which, it's actually six words, doing things for the people."

"Don't underestimate these six words, it is not easy to do, because of the ravages of the rogues, in this place of Shaanxi, the relationship between the government and the people is basically antagonistic, the government and the officials regard the people as the beasts of the flood, and they are the potential development objects of the rogues, and the people regard the government as a murderous demon, extremely distrustful, and even do right everywhere, this is the situation we are currently facing."

"There are specific reasons for the current situation, and we should not blame our former colleagues, we must deal with this situation with a normal heart, and after you take office, the first thing is to open this knot."

"We must improve the relationship between the government and the people, otherwise, everything will be impossible to talk about, we will not be able to solve this problem, and we will not be able to do anything."

"The task of the governor's yamen, the political envoys, the procurators, and the envoys will not interfere in your specific administrative affairs, and you must greatly loosen this antagonistic situation within this year."

"While doing a good job in this matter, we must care about agricultural affairs, if the people have no food to eat, they are always hungry, even if we are clever words, it has no effect, people want to live, always have to eat, but what is the situation we are facing, the people in Shaanxi Province, more than sixty percent, do not have enough food and clothing, and the vast majority of them are reduced to homeless, and the final result is to join the ranks of the rogues."

"Everyone is worried that there are still 200,000 rogues in Shaanxi, and these rogues may be bad, even if the government continues to provide relief and care for the people, the rogues will also damage this relationship, I don't think you need to worry at all."

"Anyway, in the hearts of the common people, they still recognize the government and the court, and the rogue rebels, the name is not right, and it cannot last long, besides, the Jiangning camp has just arrived in Shaanxi and exterminated 100,000 rogues, and in a short period of time, the rogues dare not run rampant, you must seize this time and work hard to do your part."

"It's already time to sow winter wheat, and after you take office, you must urge farmers to plant winter wheat, and if we can't plant winter wheat this season, we will be in even more trouble next year."

"I don't like to listen to big words, what you said has no effect, what I need is the result, you have come to Shaanxi, not only to endure hardship, but also to do things."

"As for the specific difficulties faced by the prefect's yamen, the governor's yamen will consider it, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, I am not an unreasonable person, if you don't have a fire, it is not easy to do things. In just these two days, the governor's yamen will come up with a specific plan. ”

"Okay, I've said everything I should say, it's very demanding, there's no way, you're all like me, you're all roasted on the fire now, if you don't pay attention to it, we'll be roasted, and we won't have a chance to struggle, and there will be two days in the next two days, you guys are ready, and when the time comes, the Jiangning battalion will send soldiers to escort everyone to take office."

The reception banquet is naturally arranged, this is the rule.

This time, the banquet was arranged in the Yin Hotel of the Governor's Yamen, and the Governor's Yamen was also very poor, and there was no extra silver, even if he went to eat in the restaurant, he had to weigh it.

Su Tiancheng's mood is not very good, before taking office, he found the household department, thinking about whether he could take special care of Shaanxi Province, but after eating the closed door, he understood that this is just the beginning, for a period of time in the future, Shaanxi Province should not think about any special policies, the silver of the imperial court, will not come to Shaanxi Province, he proposed that the vassal king and the prince of the vassal king, and the children enter the officialdom, has been opposed to most of the court officials.

Although Sun Chengzong is the deputy assistant of the cabinet, he is in charge of special things, and he cannot shake the first assistant of the cabinet Wen Tiren for the time being.

The relationship with Wen Tiren is the most worrying thing for Su Tiancheng, Weng Tongzhang came to visit, and the words he said were actually what Wen Tiren meant, but Wen Tiren was not good at coming forward, and he showed his attitude, in fact, he rejected all the requests made by Wen Tiren, it is conceivable that Wen Tiren was very angry.

Su Tiancheng will not underestimate the strength of the cabinet, and sometimes, the emperor is helpless.

Faced with such a practical situation, Su Tiancheng can only work hard, rely on the people he promoted, work hard, and truly change the face of poverty in Shaanxi.

Maybe Su Tiancheng said very seriously, when eating, everyone was more restrained, after all, most of the officials who took office this time are Su Tiancheng's henchmen, they do things in strict accordance with Su Tiancheng's requirements, and they know that the road ahead is very difficult, and the result is still unknown, at least the biggest problem facing at present is the lack of silver.
