221 The Expectations of the Sutra (II)
"Your Majesty summoned Zheng Guang to serve as the magistrate of Yiwu, and ordered the governor to grant him a cheap military position, so that it is convenient for military training, and to provide enough support, enough to see His Majesty's expectations of Zheng Pingzhi, Tang Governor, you are Zheng Guang's teacher, you should know Zheng Guang best, although the governor has heard of his reputation, and has seen the elite of the Black Flag Army, however, whether he is worth the bargaining chips of the governor, the governor cannot make a decision without permission. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Jing touched the beard on his chin and said slowly.
He is such a person, he is very confident in himself, has a strong personal charm, and is extremely strong, standing in this position, all the things related to the Japanese in the three southeastern provinces are within his jurisdiction, it is impossible for him not to care whether a rookie who has just been admitted to the Jinshi examination entrusted by the emperor is worthy of such expectations, even if he has achieved considerable results before, but it is too big to hand over the new army of 30,000 people to him to operate.
He can handle 3,000 people, but 30,000 people and 3,000 people are completely different.
"Taiwan, the lower official from the age of Zheng Guang from the age of nine to give his career, until the age of seventeen began to participate in the imperial examination, the lower official can guarantee that with Zheng Guang's talent, can definitely be qualified for the position of Yiwu county and training officer, after all, the previous three thousand black flag army was recruited and trained under his auspices, at that time the Yiwu people were unruly and unruly, not subject to discipline, only Zheng Guang shot, tamed the people of Yiwu, and was able to train into a new army, which represents Zheng Guang in the hearts of the people of Yiwu quite a status.
Now the imperial court appointed it as the county of Yiwu, it is like a fish in water, the people of Yiwu obey the control, recruiting new recruits to train new recruits is naturally very appropriate, there will be no problems, as long as the court here is not short of money and food, to ensure sufficient supply, then the new army will be successful, the Japanese currency is flat! "Tang Shunzhi was very impassioned.
Zhang Jing stroked his beard and said: "Zheng Pingzhi is talented, the old man naturally knows it, but to be the magistrate of a county, not only to be a county magistrate, not only to understand military affairs, but also to understand agricultural affairs and finance, a county magistrate is not so easy, he has to deal with county affairs at the same time, recruit soldiers and horses to train the new army, an eighteen-year-old Huangkou son, can he really do it?" The old man is really a little skeptical! ”
Tang Shunzhi didn't open his mouth yet, but Fan Qing spoke: "Taiwan, Zheng Pingzhi was in the position of training and garrison under Governor Zhu and his subordinates before going north for the exam, at that time he chose Yiwu County as a place to recruit soldiers, we are very worried, thinking that the people of Yiwu are fierce and do not obey the control, and they fight all the year round, but they are the people of Diao among the people, and they can't recruit soldiers at all, but Zheng Pingzhi went to Yiwu for more than a month, and he pulled out a team of 3,000 people, which is not enough to prove that Zheng Pingzhi can?"
And the prefect of Jinhua Mansion has said that Yiwu is now changing, there has never been a caravan to Yiwu to do business before, now Yiwu county has been expanded once, the businessmen who come to do business are endless, are for Yiwu specialty ham and stinky tofu to go, these two Yiwu specialties are sold very hot in the southeast of the country, now the people of Yiwu are no longer fighting, but every household has built a workshop to make ham and stinky tofu and some other local specialties.
The tax revenue of the whole county has doubled several times, for this reason, Yiwu Zhixian County, which was born as a person, has taken great luck this time, and has been promoted to a level for no reason, stained with Zheng Pingzhi's light, he himself said, all this is done by Zheng Pingzhi, it is Zheng Pingzhi who taught them to make stinky tofu, and then persuaded them to stop fighting, set up a large workshop, and sent people to Suzhou and Hangzhou to contact merchants to buy ham and stinky tofu in Yiwu County, open up sales, and revitalize the entire Yiwu County, and even Jinhua Mansion! ”
Zhang Jing couldn't be calm and calm anymore, his face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty, and asked, "Is this true?" When the old man first came here, he heard that someone had said that he had written about the stinky tofu and Yiwu ham, these two Southeast specialties are still the latest high-quality specialties designated as tribute by His Majesty, is this all from Zheng Pingzhi's handwriting? ”
Fan Qing nodded and said: "This is also the previous Zheng Pingzhi's request to the former Susong Governor Zhu Kun to pay tribute to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to rule whether it is a tribute, so as to open up his reputation, His Majesty feels that these two specialties are delicious, so they are set as tribute, and then Wenhao stinky tofu and Yiwu ham are famous in the southeast."
Now almost every wine shop has stinky tofu and ham made of dishes for sale, the stinky tofu smells stinky and eats fragrant, the taste is delicious, the price is still very cheap, much cheaper than the rest of the bean curd, and the characteristic flavor is full, so many local people will go to buy, just with this thing to accompany the rice, it is very suitable, do not hide the table, Xiaguan's family also bought a lot of stinky tofu, get up early with a bowl of porridge with stinky tofu, very delicious to eat. ”
Zhang Jing stroked his beard and said: "You mean to say that now Yiwu has been revitalized by Zheng Guang, and it is developing rapidly?" ”
Fan Qing nodded: "That's right, after opening the sales channels of Yiwu ham and Wenhao stinky tofu, there are many businessmen to buy, the number of purchases has increased again and again, and soon the existing scale of the workshop will not be able to bear, and then Yiwu people will expand the workshop, draw more manpower and material resources to build the workshop, enter the workshop to work, make ham and stinky tofu need raw materials, need to raise pigs, and some people to expand the scale of breeding, the original Yiwu most prominent land shortage problem, so was solved.
Yiwu people fought for generations before, completely to compete for land, and now there is another way to live, can not fight, then naturally do not go to fight, and cooperate with each other, build workshops to work, expand the city, build buildings, a large number of idle strong labor is mobilized, no longer eat rice, and there are more merchants, there are more outsiders, Yiwu needs more restaurants and other shops, and there are a group of Yiwu people to engage in these things.
Zheng Pingzhi also agreed with businessmen around the country that it is necessary to hire people to work, build houses or other things, and give priority to hiring Yiwu people to work, and the labor can be appropriately reduced or reduced, which is cheaper than recruiting people in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, because the transportation and delivery of goods are required a lot of manpower, and the businessmen calculated that it is more cost-effective to recruit people from Yiwu locally, so it is another group of people to solve the problem of eating, so that when the farm is slack, people without land basically have work to do and have food to eat.
The matter of making ham and stinky tofu, women and children can also do it, so that even women and children have a job, before the family relied on men to eat, now women and children can earn a piece of money, I heard that now some Yiwu people have begun to eat three meals a day, it is conceivable that the once poor mountains and bad waters, now how rich it is, and all this, only less than a year! ”
The more he listened, the more Zhang Jing felt incredible, he couldn't imagine that two kinds of food could actually revitalize a county with a population of hundreds of thousands, solve the problem of fighting weapons that had been a headache for the previous government governments, and by the way, develop a relatively wealthy county, increase taxes, or a county that is not threatened by the Japanese invaders, and indirectly increase taxes in the southeast, which is by no means a trivial matter.
This is enough to prove that Zheng Guang has the ability to govern a county, and he knows how to adapt measures to local conditions, and knows how to rely on local characteristics to develop, such an ability is not at all like a scholar who is dead to study can have, but like the means of an old bureaucrat for many years, no wonder he has collected the hearts of Yiwu people, so unruly Yiwu Diao people, but he can be ruled by him, and gather to become the elite army of the southeast of the Black Flag Army!
You have done a good thing for the people, the people remember your kindness, and they will naturally repay the kindness, how much kindness, how much affection people will return to you, Zheng Guang went to Yiwu County this time, there is no need to worry about what the locals are making it difficult, and there is no need for any new officials to take office three fires, it is completely to return to their hometown as a parent official, fight at home, relaxed and happy.
This is his greatest reliance......
In this way, this Zheng Guang can really be reused?
Zhang Jing stroked his beard, nodded slowly, and said after a while: "That's it, Governor Tang, you go and call Zheng Guang to the old man, and the old man wants to talk to him face to face, and talk about some things in Yiwu later." ”
Tang Shunzhi and Fan Qing looked at each other, and then Tang Shunzhi said in a consultative tone: "Making, Pingzhi just went home, presumably he still has a lot to say with his family, this time he came back, His Majesty also gave him a seven-day vacation to get married, let's not disturb his happy event at this time, how about it?" Or, let's go and have a glass of wine. ”
Zhang Jing was stunned, then shook his head with a smile, and said: "I almost forgot, speaking of which, before His Majesty planned to give him a month of vacation to let him get married, but was stopped by the old man, the old man said to give him three days to solve the marriage and family affairs, the old man was three days to solve the marriage and family affairs, and then Governor Nie said that it was better to give seven days, the old man thought about it, and he didn't insist, the young couple was newly married, and it was difficult to give up, and people ...... normal feelings."
Tang Shunzhi seemed to think of something, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Pingzhi's new wife is his cousin, and the two are still childhood sweethearts. ”
Zhang Jing really smiled: "Oh? It's the same as the old man and the insider? It's really fateful! I want to drink this cup of wine, and I just want to see what kind of character this Suzhou writer and southeast Xiaozhuguo is! ”
