Chapter 125: Selecting Talents and Using Talents
Today's Yangzhou City seems to have woken up very early, as soon as the sky is dawning, the gates of the city have been opened, and many farmers outside the city have been waiting at the door, ready to enter the city to transport their own grain.
Knowing that many peasants are going to the city today to transport grain, Ren Minyu told yesterday that the errand guards of the grain depot must get up early and do things for everyone as soon as possible, and they must not procrastinate.
Aunt Liu's steamed bun shop opened its doors early as always, and Aunt Liu was full of confidence in the Metropolitan Governor, before the war, the man had to pack up and prepare to flee Yangzhou, and was scolded by Aunt Liu pointing at his nose.
Although this year's annual success is not too good, there are no military disasters in the south, although the battle is very big, the price of this grain has not risen, and Aunt Liu's buns are still two pennies a piece.
The steamed bun shop is already full of customers, everyone wants to serve two steamed buns, and then a bowl of millet porridge with a little pickles, and eat it hot, and it only costs five cents.
"I said Lao Zhangtou, your home is outside the city, when will you come to get your grain? Do you have to join in the fun? Aunt Liu said to Zhang Laohan, who lived outside the East Gate.
"Aunt Liu, I won't tell you anything, I'm still a little unsure in my heart, I've only seen the government collect grain, and I really haven't seen the government collect grain and return it to us." When Zhang Laohan said this, he was still looking around, lest he be heard.
Zhang Laohan's words were really heard by the people he was afraid of, and a man who looked like an errand at the table behind him stood up.
"I said old Zhangtou..."
When Zhang Laohan heard this, he looked back and saw an errand officer standing behind him, and he was shocked, so he wanted to turn around and salute.
"I said Lao Zhangtou, I said that your worries are really unnecessary, yesterday Ren Futai told me to get up early today and go to the granary to return the grain to you, can this be fake?"
When Zhang Laohan heard this, his heart was steady.
"It's just that you always doubt the government, this really shouldn't be! If you disturb the people's hearts, can you afford to suffer the sin? The errand is not over yet, chasing Zhang Laohan said.
No one noticed that in a corner of the store, two guards dressed as guards and a young man with short hair were also eating steamed buns.
These three people are Liu Weimin with two guards, the news of the victory has already spread to Guazhou, Xiao Liu feels that the chief should return to Yangzhou today, so he returned to Yangzhou with two guards early in the morning, ready to meet the chief, one to congratulate, and the other to re-plan the development of the next step of the military industry.
Hearing the errand officer say this, Liu Weimin stood up.
"I said that this big brother is not right, why can't the government be suspicious? The people should have the freedom to doubt the government, if the government does a good job, how can they be afraid of disturbing the people's hearts? ”
Hearing Xiao Liu say, the eyes of everyone in the store turned to this corner in unison.
"Ouch, the angel lord came to the shop, you look at my eyes, you didn't even see it, it's really damned!" Aunt Liu was surprised again, and hurriedly walked to Xiao Liu's table and said.
Xiao Liu's iconic short hair made Aunt Liu recognize this as one of several angels at a glance.
When the customers heard that the angel also came to this kind of small shop to eat steamed buns, they felt strange and honored at the same time.
"I said Auntie, I'm the same as everyone else, but I'm not a master. Please rest assured about this grain matter, if the grain returned is worse than before, or there is a shortage of catties or two, the Metropolitan Governor will return to Yangzhou today, you can go to the Metropolitan Governor, please take you to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is there. Xiao Liu pointed in the direction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and said.
When the errand officer heard this, sweat came out on his forehead, and he secretly hated that his eyes were not good, and he didn't see that an angel lord was also in the store, but who would have thought that a golden angel lord would come to such a small shop to eat steamed buns?
Thinking of yesterday's team leader to take advantage of today's opportunity to return the grain, change to a new small bucket measurement, and let everyone get some oil and water, since the governor came, this food and card to do less, everyone's life is tight, and now there are more than 100,000 catties of grain returned, how can you also get some benefits.
Now listening to this angel master, where can he do this? You have to hurry up and notify the team leader and ask him to change Da Dou back, otherwise if these people really go to the Governor, it will be a bad dish.
Thinking of this, the messenger hurriedly swallowed a few bites of the bun, walked up to Xiao Liu, saluted and ran out of the store.
When Luo Jian returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning, and Ren Minyu knew that Luo Jian didn't like the pomp and circumstance, so he didn't dare to let people welcome him at the city gate, but he took two or three officials to express it.
Luo Jian, who returned to the mansion, was still very busy, and all the affairs after the war must be hurried, for example, if the meritorious service award is delayed for a long time, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.
In the afternoon, an order was issued from the Metropolitan Governor's Office, ordering all divisions to rest on the spot and report the names of the officers and soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in 10 days, and at the same time to convene a military meeting to make arrangements for the next step of work.
This order gives a detailed explanation of how military merit is determined, which is divided into four grades, the highest of which is a combat hero, followed by a merit of the first to third grades.
In the evening, Luo Jian went to Shi Kefa's mansion again, and the new territory that had been beaten down must be arranged as soon as possible, which was also a very urgent matter.
Now Anqing Mansion and Fengyang Mansion are short of government officials, and the two of them have worked hard to select the prefects of these two prefectures, but they still can't find a suitable candidate.
Shi Kefa suggested that the imperial court send officials, but Luo Jian rejected it.
The officials sent by the imperial court must have been bought for money, and it is impossible to expect these officials to govern these two prefectures well.
These two mansions are directly adjacent to the enemy's war zone, and it is precisely the need for capable people to sit in the town, Shi Kefa has the intention to let Ren Minyu change places, but Luo Jian has other thoughts in his heart.
Luo Jian wanted to try out some new policies, and these new policies must have intimate officials to supervise the implementation, and Ren Minyu was suitable in Yangzhou.
The two discussed for a long time but could not get the essentials, so they simply put the matter aside for the time being and discussed the issue of military deployment.
After more than a month of hard fighting, most of the Yangzhou army finally recovered the territory of the former three of the four towns in Jiangbei, except for Xuzhou, which was still occupied by Qing soldiers, and other places have been basically recovered.
Luo Jian's opinion was that the Sixth Division would still return to Anqing to garrison, waiting for an opportunity to expand in the direction of Jiujiang and Lu'an, the Fourth Division would be stationed in Shouzhou and Fengyang, the Second Division would be stationed in Xuyi, the Fifth Division would be stationed in Tai'an, and the First Division, as a mobile force of the whole army, would still return to Yangzhou and wait for the completion of the reorganization and training of Li Benshen's division to be reorganized into the Third Division, and the decision on the location would be made at that time.
Shi Kefa thought about it for a long time and expressed his support for Luo Jian's plan, and this matter was so determined.
Back in the house, Luo Jian turned on the computer and checked a lot of information, and felt that the two of them could serve as the highest governors of Anqing and Fengyang.
The first is the former Huai'an governor Lu Zhenfei, Lu Zhenfei's words are white, the number Haoyue, is a courageous and knowledgeable, dare to do things, Lu Zhenfei served as the county governor in Jingyang for six years, for the official integrity, tax collection and fair law, by the people called "Lu Qingtian".
Lu Zhenfei was forced by Liu Qingze and Zhu Baibi and others in Huai'an to be unable to settle down, and it coincided with the death of his mother, according to the rules, he must "worry about Ding" for three years, but his hometown Hebei has long been occupied by Qing soldiers, and now he lives in Suzhou, which should be found.
The second is the former right squire of the military department and the right of the capital of the imperial history, stationed in Jiujiang, for the governor of Jiangxi, Xiangguang, Yingtian, Anqing military affairs of the feudal officials Yuan Jixian.
When Zuo Liangyu raised troops to attack Nanjing, Yuan Jixian personally went to the left army to persuade Zuo Liangyu to quit the army, but Zuo Liangyu suddenly fell ill and died, Zuo Mengeng decided to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, put Yuan Jixian under house arrest in the army, and persuaded him to surrender, but Yuan Jixian categorically refused.
In history, Yuan Jixian was sent to Beijing by Zuo Mengeng as an invitation, but he still resolutely rejected Houlu, a high-ranking official of the Qing court, and was killed by the Manchu court.
Now the situation has changed a lot, Zuo Mengeng was wiped out by the Yangzhou army before he could send Yuan Jixian to Beijing, and the Yangzhou army rescued Yuan Jixian in Anqing.
Yuan Jixian, who had seen through the corruption and incompetence of the Hongguang court, was unwilling to return to Nanjing, so he had been living in Yangzhou, and he also wanted to see if this so-called angel could make a difference in Yangzhou.
Luo Jian and the others were so busy some time ago that they only visited once, and chatted briefly, because the military situation was urgent, and they quickly left, and this distinction forgot about him.
It's just that Yuan Jixian's position was extremely high before, and now he is in charge of the land of Yifu, I don't know if he can agree, Luo Jian decided to talk to him tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Luo Jian asked Wang Xiuchu to go to Suzhou to invite Lu Zhenfei out of the mountain, and he himself took the guards to visit Yuan Jixian.
Yuan Jixian lives in a small courtyard, which is an ordinary courtyard in the city, which was arranged by Shi Kefa himself.
There was a small guy standing at the door, seeing that Luo Jian and a few people were coming, he hurriedly went in to inform Yuan Jixian, Yuan Jixian walked out of the house, and saw that Luo Jian was coming, and he was also a little surprised, this is a lot of things after the war, why did he come to find himself?
"Governor Yuan, Luo Jian has been fighting outside some time ago, and he couldn't come to visit Duke Yuan, please forgive Duke Yuan!" Luo Jian has always respected the ancestors who had national integrity in history from the bottom of his heart, and his tone of voice was extremely sincere.
"The Metropolitan Governor is polite, Yuan is just a flat-headed ordinary person now, how dare the Metropolitan Governor Lao personally visit? Yuan also wants to congratulate the Yangzhou army on its victory! ”
Yuan Jixian said polite words in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, this Metropolitan Governor spoke sincerely, not like a hypocrisy, how could he, a person who had been captured, be valued by this Metropolitan Governor who is now extremely famous and powerful?
The two walked into the room and sat down, and Luo Jian said slowly: "Luo Jian visited Yuan Gong today to invite Yuan Gong out of the mountain, but it was a little difficult to speak. ”
"Oh? I don't know what errand the metropolitan governor wants Yuan to do, but it's hard to speak? Yuan Jixian was a little strange.
"Gong Yuan, you also know that this time the Yangzhou army has been fighting for days, but it has also recaptured some prefectures and counties from the Qing soldiers, but this Anqing Mansion..."
"Hehe, the Metropolitan Governor wants Yuan to go to Anqing Mansion?" Yuan Jixian quickly knew what Luo Jian meant.
"Exactly, just let Duke Yuan, who is the governor, go to govern the first government, Luo Jian really can't say it!" Luo Jian smiled embarrassedly.
"Have you thought about it? If the court sends an official there, how will you stay? "Yuan Jixian has been an official for decades, and he is extremely familiar with the affairs of officialdom, knowing that the imperial court has learned that these prefectures and counties have been recovered, and sending officials must be more active than anything else.
"Gong Yuan, I won't hide it when I talk to you, how many officials in the imperial court are not bought with silver? Let such an official govern the government, Yuan Gong, do you think it can be governed? Besides, Anqing Mansion directly faced the Qing soldiers, and there was no capable person in charge, how could it be reassuring? ”
"It's okay for Yuan to go to Anqing, but it's better for the governor of the capital to report to the court first, otherwise the court will criticize the governor of the capital!"
As soon as Luo Jian heard that Yuan Jixian agreed, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Gong is willing to go out of the mountain, which is very good, and Yuan Gong doesn't have to worry about this matter of reporting to the court, we will arrange it." ”
Luo Jian came out of Yuan Jixian's place, went to Shi Kefa's mansion again, and told him about the situation of the two, Shi Kefa knew more about the two than Luo Jian, and he had no objection.
Shi Kefa gave a twist to the court in the name of the two, reporting Lu Zhenfei as the prefect of Fengyang and Yuan Jixian as the prefect of Anqing, neither of them expected that the report to the court caused an uproar.
