Zhao Yicheng didn't expect Liu Chengfeng to be so easy-going, his face showed gratitude, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, the status of a student is humble, I am only afraid of ......"

Liu Chengfeng waved his hand and said: "When you come here, you and I are colleagues, even if there is a relationship between the top and bottom, but after all, we will have to work in one place for a period of time in the future, and this official will have to rely on you in the future, what kind of humble status do you talk about?" ”

After that, Liu Chengfeng asked people to serve wine and food, and then smiled and said: "This official eats alone, and it is very boring, so you have the right to talk to me." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhao Yicheng sat down like a frightened rabbit, ate a few glasses of wine, and talked more, he glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and then said, "Adults don't seem to be in a very good mood?" ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him, and it was another glass of wine to eat, at this time the weather has turned cold, the wine is specially cooked, at this time the alcohol is not high, and in the future life it will be like a warm alcoholic drink, a sip down, the whole person's body will be warm, Liu Chengfeng usually drinks not much, but when the body is a little cold, he will eat some appropriately, others drink confused, Liu Chengfeng drank wine but was in good spirits, Liu Chengfeng paused, then sighed, and said: "The mood is not good or bad, but this time you must also know, The stakes are very high, the slightest negligence is a catastrophe, but this Jiujiang City is like a hodgepodge, those officials and troops are overwhelmed, and the governor of Jiangxi likes to have branches, I don't ask them to charge into battle for me, nor do I ask the governor of Jiangxi to give me advice, I just ask them not to get in the way, and they will burn high incense. ”

"Also, the rebels have conquered Raozhou Mansion, the next step is Anqing, Anqing is the gateway to Nanjing, once Anqing is lost, Nanjing will be in no danger to defend, but I, the governor of Liangjiang, can only sit in Jiujiang, hey...... Don't talk about it. ”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, looking worried, but no one thought that this Lian Guogong also had such a fragile side.

Zhao Yicheng hurriedly comforted: "My lord is too worried, hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court are besieging King Ning, King Ning is a trapped beast, even if he wins a game, but the court still has a huge advantage, don't worry, King Ning will be awarded the head sooner or later." ”

Liu Chengfeng laughed and immediately changed the topic: "Here, it's better not to talk about official business, yes, Mr. Zhao is said to have worked in the prefect's yamen, to be honest, I have read Mr. Zhao's article, and I also know that Mr. Zhao is quite famous in the Jiujiang area, and the prefect's yamen is indeed a little talented." ”

Zhao Yicheng said modestly: "I can't talk about the name of the article, it's just that people in the same way brag to each other, otherwise why don't you even have a chance to enter the department?" Or the students lack too many things, to be honest, into the prefect's yamen to do things, first, the students still need to support their families, and secondly, they want to do something for the imperial court, and really enter the public gate, students know that it is easy to talk empty in the current world, but it is even more difficult to do practical things. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Liu Chengfeng asked with a smile.

Zhao Yicheng said: "The people in the temple are too ungrounded, the cabinet ordered to pass to the ministries, and the ministries drafted the charter and issued it, but the customs are different in various places, and the situation in various places is also different, for example, some time ago, the ministry said that it is to plant as little mulberry and tea trees as possible, so as not to let the farmers throw away the rice fields to plant tea mulberry, originally, this is really effective for the south of the Yangtze River, but it is different in Jiujiang Mansion, Jiujiang Mansion is mountainous, hilly, there is already a lot of land that cannot be planted with rice, even if it is forced to plant, The harvest is also very low, but it is suitable to plant some tea mulberry, Jiujiang has always had the tradition of planting tea, this Lushan tea is famous all over the world. However, because of this official document, it was also said that rice planting should be included in the merits of local officials, and as a result, the prefect had no choice but to encourage or even force the farmers to remove the tea mulberry and plant rice instead. Zhao Yicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As a result, the farmers' rice harvest has plummeted, and even some of the land that is not suitable for rice cultivation has not been harvested." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, he also heard of this, the official system of the Ming Dynasty is considered to be a layer of constraints, and the design has reached the point of perfection, but there is one that is not as good as the former Song Dynasty, that is, almost all the officials in the cabinet have no experience in serving as magistrates.

The biggest characteristic of these people is that they are noble, and most of their lives are spent reading and compiling books behind closed doors, and at the same time, they are not divided into grains, not to mention the temple, but also to say that it is a local affair. The system of the Song Dynasty was relatively much better, and the top students of the Song Dynasty were first delegated to start from the county order, rise step by step, and finally enter the highest decision-making body.

So sometimes, many official documents issued by the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty seem to be very reasonable, but when they arrive at the place, they always can't avoid the yang and the yin, and good things become bad things. Of course, this system also has its merits, that is, the cabinet ministers selected are not too good, but they are not too bad, and this is the least bad system. Those who are as bad as Yan Song are just corrupt and pervert the law.

Zhao Yicheng complained, and then realized that it was Lian Guogong who was sitting in front of him, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Student Meng Lang, he is actually not self-sufficient, to criticize the things in the temple, ashamed, ashamed, very ashamed, it must be that many thoughts of the princes in the temple, we people under us will never understand." Adults, students drink and lose their words, please don't blame adults. ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

The two ate some more wine, but they didn't eat much, Zhao Yicheng was a little drunk, and he didn't dare to eat anymore, and said: "The students still have business to do, but I'm afraid I can't accompany them anymore." Do you have any other orders, if not, the students will go and ask someone to post the military order. ”

Liu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "There's no place to trouble you anymore, yes, you go and call Qianhu Yang Kang to talk." ”

Zhao Yicheng was stunned for a moment, Yang Kang is a thousand households of Jiangxi Jinyiwei Thousand Households, and now he is also working in Jiujiang, he nodded and said, "Yes, the student will go and invite." ”

He turned around and left, and when he was about to leave, his steps actually stumbled, obviously drunk, but he didn't lose his temper, just smiled apologetically at Liu Chengfeng, and hurried away.

Liu Chengfeng asked someone to clean up the wine table, and then read the official document after the case, and then, Yang Kang of the thousand households arrived, Yang Kang is the old qualification in the brocade guard, he was born very ugly, there is a tumor on his face, many people call him the king of the silver horn behind his back, most of them laugh at his ruthless methods and ugly face, but Liu Chengfeng has a good impression of him, this person has always worked hard, in the past few years he has been in Jiangxi, and has collected a lot of information about King Ning for Beizhen Fusi, because of this, Liu Chengfeng has been putting him in Jiangxi, Put it in the most dangerous and important place.

Yang Kang had a taciturn temperament, he walked in, just stood motionless in the small corner of the flower hall, and waited until Liu Chengfeng finished reading the official document, noticed him, and nodded at him, he stepped forward quickly and saluted: "Humble Yang Kang, I have seen an adult." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "I can't afford your gift, you are the king of the silver horn." ”

This is a joke to ease the atmosphere, but after Liu Chengfeng said it, he regretted it a little, the joke was obviously a bit cold, and it was out of place, because instead of laughing, Yang Kang was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Liu Chengfeng had to become serious and said, "Come, you sit down and talk." ”

Yang Kang sat down with a bow, his eyes looked at Liu Chengfeng motionlessly, looking at him at any time, Liu Chengfeng sighed faintly, and said, "How many years have you been in Jiangxi?" ”

Yang Kang said: "I have been humble in Jiangxi for thirteen years, and I have been promoted from a hundred hereditary households to a thousand households, and I will not give up on my people, and I can finally eat this bowl of rice." ”

This guy is obviously not a person who is good at sycophancy, because this sycophant is a little cold like Liu Chengfeng's jokes.

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Now that King Ning is reversed, the situation in Jiangxi is erosive, has your Qianhu been greatly affected?" ”

Yang Kang shook his head and said: "King Ning's rebellion has long been announced, so the humble has been prepared in advance, those who should have withdrawn from Nanchang have already withdrawn from Nanchang, and there are some spies who are stationed there, but they are lurking deeply, presumably King Ning will not be able to find out." ”

"Hmm......" Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "When Lord Ben came yesterday, you said that King Ning planted spies in Jiujiang, right?" ”

Yang Kang said: "This is what our people in Nanchang have noticed, every move on the Jiujiang side, and even the news that the adults are about to arrive in Jiujiang King Ning seems to have mastered it, and he is ready to deal with it at any time, so I humbly think that on the Jiujiang side, there must also be King Ning's internal response." ”

Liu Chengfeng sighed and said: "The people who are arranged in Nanchang, let them be careful, don't show their feet, we have to use them, but we must also be able to deal with them, and we can't teach people to sacrifice for us plainly." This official called you here for the spies planted by King Ning in Jiujiang City, and you must also know that the rebels conquered Raozhou Mansion, and the most important reason is that Raozhou Mansion has King Ning's internal response, and they opened the city gate privately and cooperated with King Ning to attack the city, so that the rebels won a complete victory without spending a single soldier. Jiujiang can't repeat their mistakes, so finding out the spies is the top priority at the moment, you have been in Jiangxi for so long, you know the situation here better than me, you come and talk about your opinions. ”
