Chapter 574: Li Wei's Brain
"Don't worry about Taiwan, the emperor has promised me the dictatorship in Jiangxi, and it is inevitable to be punished, but I, the governor of Jiangxi, should still be able to do it, most likely I will be demoted to the fifth level and retained."
Jiangxi Jiujiang Mansion, Tian Wenjing said to Li Wei like this, there seemed to be ice slag on his cold face, and there was no anxiety at all.
"Lao Tian, I don't know what to say about you! Your audacity really makes me Li Wei sick. Thanks to the fact that you are in Jiangxi, if you want to do this in my Anhui or Jiangsu, it will be difficult for the emperor to protect you! ”
Li Wei shook his head and sighed, compared with Zao Mu, Li Wei at this time didn't seem to have changed much, he was still in a hurry and loud voice, not the official uniform, he couldn't see that he was a feudal official at all, and he didn't match the image of the emperor's first lackey.
The only sign of age is his forehead, but he is in his thirties, and the wrinkles are deep, and it can be seen that his brain is moving too much.
Originally, the governor of Liangjiang governed Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu, but after the establishment of the Southern Barbarians, Jiangxi was divided separately and came out, and now it is Tian Wenjing, the governor, who is working alone. Li Wei has the responsibility of taking care of it from afar, and has no right to reach out and ask.
Now that Tian Wenjing and Wang Guodong have an accident, whether they are fighting with each other or participating in each other, Jiangxi is restless, and Li Wei must come over and take responsibility.
Li Wei and Tian Wenjing don't have a deep relationship, but they are both lonely ministers under the Yongzheng Gate, and their relationship with each other is closer than others. In addition, Li Wei's heart is also broad, although Tian Wenjing has a narrow personality, he knows that this young governor is the first cronie of today, and he is also very respectful, and the two can still talk.
"The edict has not yet arrived, so I can only grieve Lao Tian, temporarily put the crown on me, and wait for the fate with Wang Guodong."
Li Wei came over to do this, the two of them used swords and soldiers, which was already a crime, and he had to detain the two together.
"It should be like this, but today there is still the matter of the holy precepts of the officials of Jiujiang Prefecture, and Wang Guanfeng has allowed the officials to preside over this matter in prison, and then it will be sent by the platform."
One thing is one thing, Tian Wenjing does not forget another important thing.
Hadith...... "Oh, yes, yes, this matter is really important, Lao Tian, you can do it, by the way, ......."
Li Wei thought of another thing, he definitely wanted to protect Tian Wenjing, not for anything else, at least Tian Wenjing seemed to be able to protect Jiangxi. At present, he is overhauling forts in Wuhongkou and other places to prevent the Nanban from entering the south of the Yangtze River from the sea, and on land, Jiangxi is a door, Zhejiang is a door, and it is always good to have a door that is more reliable.
Li Wei said solemnly: "Lao Tian, the emperor should protect you, but you can't let the emperor carry the burden, you have to do something, such as digging a stone in your Jiangxi field, which is engraved with the Qing Dynasty for ten thousand years, and a kind of word or something......."
Tian Wenjing's eyes lit up: "Xiangrui......, that's right!" But you can't make it so thick, you should also get some light and color, and close the hour and the earth. ”
Then he shook his shoulders and said: "This is the most proficient literati, let them get it." ”
Making auspicious rui is a big means specially used to build momentum, and Tian Wenjing can make an auspicious rui in Jiangxi to rush the evil spirit of his fight with Wang Guodong.
With this momentum, Yongzheng better take this matter lightly. But whether Xiangrui is used well or not is also a test of kung fu. Emperor Kangxi liked this very much and was very concerned about it. If you are not clean and the timing is not good enough, he will be unhappy if he feels that he is too deliberate and artificial, and he will leave too superficial reputation in the history books.
When Kangxi was fifty years old for the Birthday Festival, there was once a governor who offered a pair of white turtles Kangxi was ruthlessly happy, and the officials who offered the treasure painted snakes and added feet, and engraved the words "Kangxi Wanfu" on the tortoise shell, claiming that it was natural, and the fatal thing was that the word "Kang" was engraved to the edge of the tortoise shell, and accidentally folded the edge, and the word "Kang" had no head, which made Kangxi very angry. The governor did not offer a good prize, and was demoted by three levels.
Now Yongzheng is on the throne, and he is even more concerned about auspiciousness, when he first ascended the throne, some officials reported that in the filial piety tomb of Shunzhi, the grass pods of auspicious rui in ancient legends are often seen. As soon as Kangxi's Jingling inscription was erected, officials reported that Ganoderma lucidum was born around the stele. Yongzheng smiled and accepted them one by one, and instructed the historian to record them carefully.
Yongzheng vigorously promoted the new policy, and it was difficult for local officials to make progress, and Xiangrui became a means to repay the merits. Just like at the beginning of the year, the governor of the river reported that the Yellow River had become clear, and Qin Tianjian also said that there were five planets at the same time and in the sky, which means that my Yongzheng Dynasty was already a peaceful and prosperous era, with prosperous culture and education, and true Confucianism. …,
Naturally, Yongzheng can't rub sand in his eyes, and he has higher requirements for Xiangrui's "credibility". Last year, the governor of Shaanxi Province presented a "Ruigu map." "In the picture, there are as many as fifteen or sixteen ears of millet in one stem. "Dongguan Hanji" said that the Mou born by Liu Xiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty had a stem and nine ears of millet, and a county was ripe, so Emperor Guangwu named it "Xiu". This paragraph is too old for a scholar, and the governor wants to use this old paragraph to praise Yongzheng Shengming, and also changed the exaggerated nine spikes to the ridiculous fifteen or sixteen spikes, Yongzheng felt that he couldn't afford to lose this frightening person, so he refuted it.
After being reminded by Li Wei, Tian Wenjing left the back hall of the government and came to the main hall, at this time, dozens of state and county officials from the first government had gathered and began to do the monthly routine, that is, "reciting the holy precepts".
The so-called hadith is the teachings of the emperor. The former Ming Dynasty set a precedent for villagers to gather to listen to the hadith, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty carried this matter forward. Not only should it be read in the countryside, but since Kangxi, generations of emperors have had their own holy teachings. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he also took the preaching of the Hadith as a new policy, and spent a lot of effort to do it. This is a very important task for the people who are sent to various places to observe customs and rectify customs.
Originally, when Wang Guodong didn't come, Tian Wenjing attached great importance to this matter, but now that Wang Guodong was ousted by him, he came to arrest the matter again. It is not only preached in the countryside, but also recited by all officials.
There are a lot of hadiths, and Kangxi was so long, plus Yongzheng's own, it was even more complicated, so he only chose to recite it.
The officials shook their heads and read in unison, and with each sentence, Tian Wenjing gave an explanation, the scene was solemn and solemn, and the birds overturned their heads and ceased to croak.
"Respect the heavens and the ancestors, be diligent in government and be virtuous, and love the people and choose officials."
"The Holy Teachings, our subjects, the first thing to respect the heavens and the ancestors, what is the respect for the heavens? The Three Principles and Five Constants are the way of heaven, and the saint is the Son of Heaven, and the loyal monarch is to respect the heavens. What is a Fazu? The words of Confucius are unwavering through the ages, and following the way of Confucius is the ...... of the ancestors".
"Eliminate violence and peace, don't be lenient, don't be too strict."
"You and other local parents, the important task of Fuzhou County, the people are strong, the strong is violent, the soft people are weak, and the weak is good, which is to eliminate violence and peace. Don't be soft in doing this, and you can't do it back......"
"The same temperament is really a rest, sincere and friendly, related to relatives, and always hears the right words ......".
"Do the right thing every day, don't be tempted by villains, don't be deceived by heresies......"
"The ancestral family is suitable for affinity, the virtuous and virtuous used by the country should be protected, self-inflicted harmony and auspiciousness, and the celebration of the 10,000-year celebration of the Mianzong Society is ......."
After the hadith was recited, the matter was not over, and Tian Wenjing pointed to the state and county officials under Jiujiang Prefecture one by one.
"Did He Erjia get rid of it!? No reason? You have been a Mou official for more than ten years, and you don't even understand the reason for it? ”
"What about Yang Anjia? His uncle's cousin is a member of the ministry? Even if he Yang An is a secretary of the ministry, in Jiangxi, he still has to obey me Tian Wenjing! If you don't know the money and food, you will be in prison, it's as simple as that! ”
"Me!? Wait until you remember it, even if Zaitian Wenjing is demoted to the seventh grade, he will still govern Jiangxi! If you want to be lucky, don't blame me for being unkind, and list you and that Wang Guodong as one party! There are a lot of people who want to follow him down this time, and they don't care who they add again! ”
Tian Wenjing reprimanded the group of Brown County officials below loudly, all of them were silent, and their faces were earthy.
Li Wei pulled Tian Wenjing's master and asked carefully, he didn't know what Tian Wenjing had done in Jiangxi.
The master came one by one, Li Wei listened, his eyebrows gradually flew up, and finally he clapped his fist and said: "This Lao Tian is ruthless enough!" ”
How did Tian Wenjing do it in Jiangxi?
He held high the big knife of Yongzheng's new policy of "the officials and gentry pay grain and listen to errands", and only stared at the wealthy businessmen in Jiangxi and slashed vigorously. If you don't give money and food, you are colluding with Nanban and want to run? That would be even more conclusive. Relying on this hand, Tian Wenjing was able to raise enough money and food in Jiangxi.
At the same time, he used the method of "hadith to the countryside" to summon life servants to tour around Jiangxi to tell the villagers. To call the south Yinghua a country of beasts and beasts is not only to plunder people and wealth, but also to be bad and shameful. The men were to be exiled to the South Seas to work as miners, and the women were to be assigned to the natives of the South Seas as wives. The land's land will be taken away. The Nanban was also not allowed to use silver, but exchanged the people's silver with paper money such as stocks and treasury bonds, which were falling in value day by day.
The students made up a lot of ballads for this, such as "Men enter the mines of the South Seas, women are made by the monkeys of the South Seas", "The red clothes come without clothes, and the British thieves come without money." "Back and forth, swept down in the past two years, the people of Jiangxi are hearing the "Ying" color change. …,
With the help of money and grain and the people's hearts, Tian Wenjing built a high wall, accumulated grain, besieged the city in the county and county, and built forts in the townships and townships. It was only by virtue of this that he was able to repel the attack of the Anglo-Chinese red-clothed soldiers at the beginning of the year.
Grasping the heavy and letting go of the light, the boat is rude, no wonder Li Wei is also impressed.
While admiring, Li Wei still shook his head, these methods can't be used in Jiangnan after all. This is Jiangxi, a poor and remote country, and there are not many royal relatives, so it has provoked local wealthy businessmen to collude with Wang Guodong and want to be ruthless to Tian Wenjing. And in Jiangnan, the money exchange and interests, whether it is the amount or complexity, I don't know how many times as Jiangxi, he has to learn to do this, and he doesn't know that there is a head that can be lost. Those wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan are all official businessmen, and behind the officials and businessmen are the imperial businessmen, who is behind the imperial businessmen? Imperial princes, Manchurian nobles, including the emperor himself.
"Unless the emperor makes a big decision, heart...".
Li Wei was very unwilling, he was in Jiangnan, and his hands and feet had been tied by the gentry of businessmen, and it was difficult to move. Not to mention anything else, Jiangnan San Weaving is an independent kingdom, and the silk silkworm industry they circle, the money and population involved, are millions, but they can't get into it. can only beat the side drum from the things he is best at, such as thieves and thieves, and it is no wonder that Yongzheng is very dissatisfied with his achievements in governing Jiangnan in the past two years.
Compared with Tian Wenjing, Li Wei was not worried about falling out of favor due to events, but because he was afraid that Yongzheng would feel useless, so he thought of his own harm. He is a person who knows that Yongzheng has a good position, and he is still alive and can still be a feudal official, and sometimes Li Wei himself feels unfavorable.
He naturally wants to keep this miracle, so he can only prove to Yongzheng that he is still useful.
"Tian Wenjing's methods, it is not feasible to spread them in Jiangnan immediately, but if they create a momentum, it may not be impossible, why don't you sort out the rules first, so that the emperor can also open up the situation in other places, so ......."
At this time, Li Wei no longer has the recklessness to bury his head in the dry, he is already very good at using his brain, which is also the origin of the deep wrinkles on his head...... )
