Back to the governor's yamen, Pu Kaiqiang and Zuo Xiaohu have been waiting here for a long time, as for Tan Zongliang, the commander of the capital, he has already mobilized the sergeants of the guard and rushed to the designated place, Tan Zongliang would not have thought that the sergeant of the guard post would not play much role this time, and all the arrangements for the battle almost did not involve the sergeant of Xi'an Wei.

Pu Kaiqiang and Zuo Xiaohu are full of hope, they have great expectations for the Jiangning battalion, and they think that the Jiangning battalion's extermination of the Liukou is just a matter of being captured, and there will not be much difficulty, not only for them, but also for officials at all levels in Shaanxi Province.

Su Tiancheng, Pu Kaiqiang, and Zuo Xiaohu sat in the second hall.

The situation of the Ming Dynasty and a few hundred years later, there are also similarities, from this official, the prefect and the prefect, most of them have to personally judge the case, and need to care about the matter of money and grain, but it can rise to the governor, the specific things are a lot less, there is no need to personally try the case, and there is no need to care too much about the matter of money and grain, the relevant policies are issued by the imperial court, from the situation of the provincial officials, the political envoy mainly takes care of the people's livelihood matters, and the chief of the probationary envoy is concerned about the criminal matters, and the commander mainly manages military affairs, so it seems, the governor did not have much specifics.

The situation has been the same for thousands of years, officials in the officialdom mainly manage two things, money and people, these two things are the embodiment of power, as for doing practical things, etc., it is necessary to have power in your hands to be able to do good things, otherwise you have great ability, and there is no place to show it.

Therefore, the governor's focus is to manage the officials well, and the officials do things, and the decisions of the political envoys, the procurators, and the commanders need to be reported to the governors and approved before they can be implemented.

Su Tiancheng came to Shaanxi Province with a holy decree. He has the power to directly depose and appoint officials below the fourth grade, and he only needs to report to the imperial court for the record, or wait for the imperial court's holy decree, such a power is still the first in the Ming Dynasty. It is difficult for even a minister to have such power.

Su Tiancheng asked for such power, on the one hand, he wanted to be able to do things in a real way, and on the other hand, he also wanted to avoid getting caught in the middle of the battle of officials. It's not uncommon to work against the governor.

In fact, this is a very simple truth, the struggle in the officialdom has always been like this, all you see in your eyes is power, Su Tiancheng is too young, it is difficult to have any prestige, if you spend energy to fight for power with the chief officer of the third division. It will inevitably affect governance.

"My lord, Xiaguan and Lord Zuo want to get good news as soon as possible."

"yes. My lord, the Jiangning battalion is brave and good at fighting, and it will definitely be able to exterminate the rogues. ”

Su Tiancheng smiled and didn't speak, Pu Kaiqiang and Zuo Xiaohu were probably not just thinking about saying these words, Jiangning Camp exterminated Liukou. It may not be too difficult, but if you want to govern Shaanxi well and make the Liukou no longer appear, that is the most important task, and the key matters you need to consider. It's not just about exterminating the rogues.

Sure enough, Pu Kaiqiang quickly said other ideas, which were also things that Su Tiancheng didn't expect at all.

"My lord, Shaanxi has been invaded by the Liukou for many years, the people in this place are fierce, and the government has always been a headache, because of the harassment of the Liukou, this has become a place for officials to talk about the tiger's color, and many Diao people are in favor of the Liukou, and they have always thought of rebellion, so the government has to control the Liukou every year, and the lower officials believe that it is still necessary to take decisive measures to completely exterminate the Liukou and severely punish the Diao people and mobs who support the Liukou."

Su Tiancheng looked at Pu Kaiqiang, but still didn't speak.

These days, Pu Kaiqiang and Zuo Xiaohu have also reported on some situations in Shaanxi, and all they said are difficulties, all of which are words about Shaanxi's inability to govern, etc., it seems that the people of Shaanxi have become a flood beast, and they are always against the government and officials, and there is no good person.

The understanding of Pu Kaiqiang and others also made Su Tiancheng understand that in order to understand why the government would treat the displaced people like that, perhaps after years of riots, the officials in various parts of Shaanxi have long had no understanding of doing things for the people, and the government and the people have become completely opposed, and have become a relationship between the enemy and us.

In addition to the bad environment of this place, or the people's customs are fierce, is there no other reason, a slap does not make a sound, Pu Kaiqiang and others understand that it is very good to explain the reason.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng didn't speak, Pu Kaiqiang finally made a suggestion.

"My lord, the lower officials suggest that the common people of Shaanxi Province should be strictly controlled, and when necessary, the method of joint sitting can be adopted, where someone in the family joins the team of the rogues, the whole family asks for the guilt, and kills the arrogance of the people and the mob, the adults do not know the way, the rogues sometimes attack the towns, and some people even open the city gates, resulting in the tragic killing of officials, and the targets of the rogues are all aimed at the gentry and rich households and officials, which leads to a lot of gentry and rich households in Shaanxi, and they have to leave."

Zuo Xiaohu also nodded frequently, and after Pu Kaiqiang finished speaking, he opened his mouth to add.

"My lord, the subordinate officials are in charge of the criminal name matters, and I have deep feelings about what Lord Pu said, the homeless people and the mob, they hate the gentry and rich households, and what they think of is robbery, looting, some of the people, and even secretly colluding with the rogues, resulting in the city being breached, the official house being burned, and the officials being beheaded, and the lower officials have reviewed a lot of cases, and they are deeply angry."

Su Tiancheng's expression gradually became serious.

It can't be said that what Pu Kaiqiang and Zuo Xiaohu said is unreasonable, but the two ignore the most basic situation, that is, what did the government and officials do, that is, what did they do for the people, the prefect, the prefecture and the county are all called the parent officials of a place, they are regarded as parents by the people, and they are the public servants of the people, which is a joke, but as a parent official, if you don't do anything, on the contrary, you have to be supported by the people, the people can't live, and the officials don't care, It is known that the Tao is pampered, and even exploits the people, in such a situation, the people do not rebel, that is a strange thing.

The rebellion of the Liukou, the loss of Shaanxi is huge, the loss of businessmen, a large area of land is uncultivated, coupled with the impact of drought and other formations, has made Shaanxi into a depression second only to Liaodong, this situation continues to spread, some time ago, because of Sun Chengzong's policy of restricting the Liukou, most of the Liukou are concentrated in Shaanxi, making the situation in Shaanxi even worse, along the way, Su Tiancheng has found that there are homeless people everywhere, and the villages and towns next to the official road can hardly see many people.

Don't talk about Fuzhou County, even if it is Xianyang County, this should be the most lively and prosperous place in Shaanxi, but Su Tiancheng didn't feel that it was far inferior to Jiangning County and Luoyang County.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, and many shops, inns, and restaurants are not very good.

Song Sijun paid attention to these situations very much, he observed for two days, and when he talked with Su Tiancheng, he made it very clear that if this place in Shaanxi is to be governed well, it will take a lot of energy and more time.

All this, Su Tiancheng is not very anxious, since he has come to Shaanxi, he has to face such a situation, and he is not blessed to come here, and he is also very mentally prepared for the difficulties he faces.

But the views of Pu Kaiqiang, Zuo Xiaohu and others made him feel that the pressure he was facing was extraordinary.

All policies and all measures need to be implemented and promoted by the government and officials, but officials at all levels have long been fixed in their understanding, and they think that the common people are unscrupulous and mob, and they have no good views on the government and officials, and this view has continued for many years, and the relationship between the government and the people has long been incompatible.

This is a huge obstacle for Su Tiancheng.

It is impossible for officials to change their views in a short period of time, and if they want to implement the policy of being close to the people and loving the people, they can only use coercive means, that is to say, the first strata they face are the governments and officials at all levels.

This sounds too ridiculous, but it is a real situation that Su Tiancheng is facing.

The idea of the official standard is very strong, after so many years, Su Tiancheng completely felt it, and wanted to say that let the government and the people be one, not to say that the officials would not accept such a point of view, and the common people would not accept it either, especially the officials at all levels, who were born in the academic class, were all scholars after the imperial examination, and were regarded as the stars of Wenqu in the sky, and the people were generally in awe, and the strict hierarchy was generally accepted by the officials and the people.

Therefore, with the same set of management methods that will be used hundreds of years later, many things will not work.

This requires Su Tiancheng to put in more efforts.

Shaanxi Province also has an unusual representative significance, if this place is managed well, it will undoubtedly set an example for the Ming Dynasty, if a place like Shaanxi can be built well, let alone other places.

Looking at Pu Kaiqiang and Zuo Xiaohu in front of him, Su Tiancheng finally spoke.

"Master Pu, Lord Zuo, the official's thinking, and you are a little different, although Shaanxi has formed today's situation, and the rogue chaos, has a direct relationship, and even with some of the common people who are in trouble, but we still need to think about how the officials should do things, whether the people are to be flood beasts, or really care about Lao Bai's suffering, Tang Taizong has said, water can carry a boat can also overturn a boat, if it is an official of the government, completely opposed to the people, I don't know what we can do, I don't know whose parent officials we are the parent officials.
