Overnight, the small fishing villages next to Weihaiwei and Penglai City suddenly became lively, and a large number of people gathered towards these two places, especially those craftsmen, almost all of whom were concentrated in these two places, most of the carpenters, to the small fishing village, and a large number of bricklayers to Weihaiwei.

Countless pieces of timber, as well as building materials, began to gather in these two places, and the teams dedicated to transportation began to be busy day and night.

The common people of Dengzhou and Laizhou have become accustomed to such a situation, and they know very well that this kind of concentration of personnel indicates that they have something to do and money to earn, so the common people do not care about these things, they are buried in cultivating the land, they are busy with the things in their fields, and they are ready to go to these two places to do things, anyway, they are not in a hurry, and the announcement of the government will come out soon.

Dengzhou and Laizhou such a situation, so that the common people realized, they to Dengzhou and Laizhou, the choice is absolutely correct, such news, continue to spread out, a lot of people, inform their relatives, tell their relatives to hurry to Dengzhou and Laizhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou locals, there is almost nothing, Dolgon here for half a month, too many evils, the army is everywhere, thousands of miles of uninhabited.

Su Tiancheng's attention shifted to two other aspects, one is about the talents of the construction of the naval division, this kind of talent is not only the officers who command the battle, but also the technicians and craftsmen who build the warship, and the other is the situation in Qingzhou.

These two things are very important, there is no priority, they must be handled immediately, relatively speaking, the talent of the construction of the water division, you can also hurry up to seek. It doesn't matter if it's a little slower, but the situation in Qingzhou must be solved immediately.

Before Su Tiancheng arrived in Dengzhou, the governor of Shandong made a small move, and before the imperial decree was issued, he confiscated a large amount of grain and silver from the Qingzhou government and the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction. Qingzhou officials at all levels, originally very poor, not much silver and grain, this time was mobilized by the governor's yamen to go to most of it, it is even more difficult, the governor's approach, is not wrong, because Qingzhou owes the imperial court a lot of taxes, at this time. No one could say anything about this action taken by the governor's yamen in the name of collecting taxes.

Just when the officials at all levels in Qingzhou were about to complain, the holy decree of the imperial court came down, and the Qingzhou Mansion was under the direct jurisdiction of Lord Su Tiancheng, the governor of Jiliao, as the frontier of resisting the Houjin Tartars, this order everyone was shut up, and everyone began to worry about their future. I don't know what the future holds.

Although the civil and military officials who have followed Su Tiancheng to do things, their impression of Su Tiancheng is very good. Follow the proposed to do things, as long as you do things well and do your part well, you don't need to worry about the rest of the things, and the rest of the things are very high, but in other places in the Ming Dynasty. Su Tiancheng's reputation is not very good, Su Tiancheng's series of reforms in Jiangning County, Henan Prefecture and Shaanxi have touched the interests of the powerful, and a lot of discussions will naturally come out, and the powerful will not say good things about Su Tiancheng. These magnates can control public opinion, although this kind of discussion is carried out in private, and no one dares to openly say bad things about Su Tiancheng, but the words between the magnates can easily reach the ears of officials.

After the imperial decree was issued, the officials of Qingzhou Prefecture and County had no intention of acting the government, and they all wanted to be transferred out of Qingzhou, and this situation spread rapidly, so that there were many people who wrote reports requesting transfer, and some officials who had a good relationship with the above left Qingzhou one after another and went to other places, and the rest were also panicked, complaining that their relationship was not good, and they were not able to be transferred.

Strangely, the imperial court seemed to have acquiesced to this situation and did not send officials to Qingzhou.

After a few months, the yamen of Qingzhou Prefecture and County was almost paralyzed.

For such a long time, the government did one thing, persuading the people not to leave Qingzhou, saying that Qingzhou, like Dengzhou Laizhou, is a place under the direct jurisdiction of Lord Su, so the people of Qingzhou can stabilize in front of them, and there are many people who can't manage so much, so they entered Dengzhou and Laizhou, found things to do, and earned silver.

After this kind of news came out, the number of people who left Qingzhou slowly began to increase.

Officials at all levels were very panicked, they were afraid of being punished by Su Tiancheng, if Su Tiancheng didn't care about these circumstances, he must ask for the guilt, and they didn't know how to explain it.

Su Tiancheng knew about these situations, and the dark line of Jinyiwei still reported the situation in this regard.

As early as the time of Ningyuan, Su Tiancheng was thinking about the officials of Qingzhou Prefecture and County, Qingzhou's territory is very large, almost equal to the sum of Dengzhou and Laizhou's territory, Qingzhou Prefecture has jurisdiction over thirteen counties and one state, and the government is located in Yidu County.

The difference between Qingzhou and Laizhou and Dengzhou is that Dengzhou and Laizhou are close to the sea, but Qingzhou is still some distance from the sea, and the economic and cultural center is mainly in the interior, and the seaside is much more desolate, and it has never attracted the attention of officials at all levels.

It is said that under such circumstances, it is somewhat inappropriate to put Qingzhou under the jurisdiction of Su Tiancheng, but the situation at that time, the imperial court was very clear that Dengzhou and Laizhou suffered a devastating blow, and Qingzhou was no better.

Placing Qingzhou under the direct jurisdiction of Su Tiancheng was actually a way for the imperial court to transfer its burden.

Su Tiancheng's idea is different, the territory of Dengzhou and Laizhou is not very large, for the future development, it is still a little unfavorable, Qingzhou is drawn over, the territory has almost doubled, so that a large number of people can be gathered, and the land has also increased, Qingzhou basically belongs to the plain area, there are not many mountains, the land is fertile, the grain harvest is very good, and Qingzhou can become a buffer zone between Dengzhou and Laizhou, even if Su Tiancheng will have something dirty with the imperial court in the future, Dengzhou and Laizhou, which are the main military bases, It can also be well protected.

Of course, Qingzhou belongs to Su Tiancheng's jurisdiction, he must also build it here, how to build Qingzhou well, the routine is still the same, the key is still the officials at all levels, what Su Tiancheng needs to worry about directly, is the chief official of Qingzhou Prefecture and County, as long as these people are equipped, the rest of the things will be easy to do.

The prefect of Qingzhou Mansion is a candidate for Su Tiancheng's key consideration, and now that the prefect of Qingzhou has been transferred, the imperial court has not sent officials for a long time, obviously Su Tiancheng has to worry about himself.

The candidate for this prefect is a headache for Su Tiancheng, there are many talents under him, but the vast majority of talents are biased towards the military aspect, and there are not many people who are really familiar with the people's livelihood, nor are they particularly prominent, and a large part of the officials who are familiar with the people's livelihood have stayed in Shaanxi, and it is impossible to transfer them, and the main task of building Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou is still in the construction of the army.

For the positioning of Qingzhou, Su Tiancheng has a different idea, this is not a major military base, but the garrison is certain, the main role of Qingzhou, or in the construction of people's livelihood, here will become a transit place for maritime trade in the future, a large number of businessmen will gather here, and even some foreign institutions that may appear in the future will also settle in Qingzhou.

Therefore, the prefect of Qingzhou Mansion must be a very capable official who knows how to manage the affairs of the government and how to manage government affairs well.

After thinking for a long time, Su Tiancheng focused his attention on Liu Yunqing.

Liu Yunqing is already a Jinshi, and now he is a Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy, secretly controlling this Zhongxing Society, if Liu Yunqing is allowed to come to Qingzhou, he will definitely be able to attract a large number of intermediate forces of the Zhongxing Society to rush to Qingzhou, and Liu Yunqing's thinking has been very different, he is his hardcore supporter, and he is also a stable confidant.

But Liu Yunqing also has shortcomings, that is, lack of actual experience, he has never done things in the local area, if he comes to Qingzhou and becomes the prefect, he needs to be equipped with an excellent fellow intellectual.

As for the candidate for Tongzhi, Su Tiancheng has already thought about it, and that is Liu Zhongji.

Liu Zhongji is still the governor of Shaanzhou, serving as the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture, from the fifth grade to the fifth grade, which can be regarded as a promotion, Liu Zhongji has served as the governor of Shaanzhou for many years, and he has done a very good job, Su Tiancheng learned from Yan Zizhang, and transferred Liu Zhongji to Qingzhou, and was able to assist Liu Yunqing very well.

The chief officers of the thirteen counties in the following prefecture still follow the old method to select candidates from among the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion, and some junior officers who are older and have rich experience can serve as governors and counties, and such adjustments are unlikely to be placed in other places, but in the places under Su Tiancheng's jurisdiction, the problem is not very big.

After preparing the recital, Su Tiancheng presented it, and now he is waiting for the decision of the imperial court, once the imperial court makes a holy decree, Su Tiancheng can start a comprehensive rectification of Qingzhou.

In mid-February, the imperial court's decree came down, and in full accordance with Su Tiancheng's requirements, the prefect, Tongzhi, Zhizhou and Zhixian of Qingzhou were appointed.

Liu Yunqing and Liu Zhongji rushed to Qingzhou, it was already late February, and the two went to meet Su Tiancheng, at this time, the governor and county of Qingzhou's state and county had already taken office, and began to do a good job of spring plowing and production in accordance with Su Tiancheng's requirements, and at the same time began to clean up the population of Qingzhou to prepare for the next move.

Su Tiancheng told Liu Yunqing and Liu Zhongji all the requirements, and told them that the most important task at present is to clarify the ownership of the land while doing a good job in the production of spring roots, so as to make full preparations for the next step to determine the ownership of the land.
