Xu Guangqi is a real celebrity in Chinese history.

Zheng Xunrui followed the middle-aged man into the carriage, neither of them spoke, and the carriage drove for a while before finally stopping.

There is no carriage at the door, it seems that Xu Guangqi generally does not receive visiting guests because of physical reasons, this thing is true, after following the middle-aged man directly into the mansion, Zheng Xunrui looked around very carefully, and he looked very simple, and he couldn't see the luxurious place.

When I came to the study, a faint smell of Chinese medicine came.

Xu Guangqi is not in good health, and he has always thought about Zhishi, but the emperor just disagrees, and it can be said that Xu Guangqi is the only minister who died normally in the position of cabinet minister.

When the middle-aged man took Zheng Xunrui into the study, his steps were very light.

Xu Guangqi sat in the study, his face was not very good, when the middle-aged man was about to report, Xu Guangqi shook his head, the middle-aged man understood the meaning, quickly made tea for Zheng Xunrui, and then exited the study and gently brought the door.

"Lord Zheng, this official invited you to come, you won't be surprised."

"My lord, it is the honor of the lower officials to summon you."

"Needless to say, this official will not blame this official secretly, if you go to Shaanxi, you won't blame this official secretly."

"If the lord is to explain such things, the lower officials will be courageous, the lower officials have no opinions, and the lower officials also know that their qualifications are very shallow, and it is impossible to convince the public, only by going to difficult and difficult places to sharpen and make some achievements, can they really be recognized by others, if they want to be safe, it is better to stay in the Hanlin Academy."

"Yes, when the official heard that you wanted to go to Fuzhou County, he felt that it was not simple, you are only seventeen years old, and you can be said to be the youngest Hanlin cultivator in the history of my Ming Dynasty.

"Xiaguan thanks your lord for your accomplishment."

Zheng Xunrui is really not particularly happy, that's because of his inner thoughts, outsiders can't know, Yan'an Mansion is called the Loess Plateau, the geographical conditions are very bad, of course, what is the situation now, he is not very clear, but I believe that it is not much better, such a place has limited grain production, it is impossible to compare with the south, and Yan'an Mansion is making trouble, the first thing after he went is not to appease the people, or to exterminate the Liukou, and we must hurry up, and we must not delay the spring ploughing season.

To go to such a place is to test his ability to the maximum.

"The official can see that you are not particularly happy, or a little complaining about the official, you can show it, the official is very pleased, the official has read countless people, and it can be seen that you are still simple."

"My lord's words are serious, and the lower officials are slightly disliked, this is true, the lower officials think that no matter who goes to Shaanxi, it is impossible to express that they are very happy, then it is a little unreasonable."

"Well said, being sent to Shaanxi by the imperial court, no one will be happy, if you are beaming with joy, the official is really worried, okay, the official came to you, it is true that he did not give you any explanation, and the official does not need to do that, the official sees that although you are young, but the table of the court several times is very good, so he wants to let you be tempered and become a usable talent in the future, as for whether you can do it, the official does not know."

"The news of your going to Shaanxi spread yesterday, and the official wanted to ask how much you know about the situation in Yan'an Mansion."

Xu Guangqi finally said the most critical place, Zheng Xunrui did not dare to underestimate it, no matter what, when he went to Shaanxi, he still needed to get the support of the imperial court, the greater the support, the better, otherwise the future may not be easy.

"The lower officials know that Yan'an Prefecture has jurisdiction over 16 counties in three prefectures, namely Yanzhou, Jiazhou, Suidezhou, Fushi County, Ansai County, Ganquan County, Baoqing County, Anding County, Yichuan County, Yanchang County, Yanchuan County, Qingjian County, Luochuan County, Central County, Yijun County, Mizhi County, Wubao County, Shenmu County and Fugu County, with 370,000 households and a population of 1.04 million."

Zheng Xunrui said these situations in one breath, Xu Guangqi was obviously a little surprised, I was afraid that he didn't expect that Zheng Xunrui, who had not yet received the holy decree, would be able to understand the basic situation in such detail.

"Yes, to be able to know so much about the situation, it seems that you don't plan to do perfunctory things in Yan'an Mansion, but do you know what the biggest problem in Yan'an Mansion is now."

"Xia Guan thinks that the biggest problem is that the rogues gather people to rebel, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Ansai, the prince of Yichuan, the prince of Yichuan, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of Dingbian, the star of Qingjian Hui Dengxiang, Wang Jiayin of Fugu, Zhang Yichong, the king of sweeping, Li Zicheng, the general of Mizhi, He Yilong, the king of Zuojin, He Jin, the old Hui Ma Shouying of Suide, the king of Zijin Liang, Shen Yikui, the non-muddy Zhang Cunmeng of Luochuan, Cao Cao Luo Rucai of Fu Shi, Lin Chengyang, Liu Guoneng of the collapse of the sky, Li Wanqing of the collapse of the sky, and the 100,000 Ma Jinzhong and so on. They are all the big and small leaders of the rogues. ”

"Not to mention why these people rebelled, but the impact they caused is bad, has made Shaanxi's simple folk customs greatly changed, the homeless people and even the people, rushing to join the ranks of the Liukou, what is more worrying is that most of the leaders of the Liukou are from the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Yan'an, which makes the Liukou regard Yan'an as the base camp, even if they are encircled and suppressed by the official army, they can also return to Yan'an to breathe, waiting for the opportunity to rebel again."

Xu Guangqi, who was weak, couldn't help but stand up slowly, he didn't expect that Zheng Xunrui actually had such a clear understanding of Yan'an Mansion, the drought in Yan'an Mansion in the second year of Chongzhen, there was no rain throughout the year, and the cultivated land was almost no harvest, and Yan'an Mansion suffered a famine again in the third year of Chongzhen, and it was precisely because of this situation that the emperor had pity for many thieves in Yan'an Mansion, and agreed to the operational policy of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to pacify and exterminate as a supplement, but from the current situation, this policy is obviously wrong, Almost all of the rogues who had already surrendered began to rebel again.

"The official didn't expect that Lord Zheng was so transparent about the situation in Yan'an, it seems that the official doesn't have to worry too much, but the official still has three suggestions, if Lord Zheng thinks it's appropriate, he can adopt it, if he thinks it's not suitable, he will treat it as the official and don't say anything."

"The first to build yì, try to appease the people, the people take food as the sky, Yan'an has suffered three years of famine in a row, the people really can't live, if they can't be appeased well, there is almost no way to stabilize it."

"The second construction yì, spring ploughing production is the top priority, if you can't do a good job of spring ploughing this winter and next spring, the next year will encounter another famine, and the court will have no way to help."

"The third Jianyì, rectify the officials, Yan'an Mansion Ma Maocai, mediocre ability, in the face of the situation of thieves, almost helpless, last year Shaanxi Governor Wu wrote in private, but there was no impeachment, plus Yan'an Mansion is a place that everyone is afraid of, and it is difficult for the imperial court to send officials, because Ma Maocai is mediocre, and the situation in Yan'an Mansion is even more out of control." ……

The three suggestions proposed by Xu Guangqi are indeed good and very critical, but Zheng Xunrui is still uncomfortable in his heart, how can he not know this, but the key at present is that Yan'an Mansion is already poor, and the imperial army has exterminated the Liukou in Yan'an Mansion several times, and the local governments are tired of coping, and they can't even provide enough food and grass.

Still, he was grateful.

"Lord Xu's teachings, the lower officials keep it in mind, and the lower officials must live up to Lord Xu's expectations."

Xu Guangqi looked at Zheng Xunrui with a smile on his face and shook his head slightly.

"The official knows what you're thinking, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, you go to Yan'an Mansion empty-handed, what can you do, what the official said is also empty, don't say you, even if the official goes, there is nothing to do, the official also knows, today the emperor summoned you, you will definitely make a request, can you tell me what you asked."

Zheng Xunrui sighed and said the three requirements made by the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor only agreed to two.

A fine light appeared in Xu Guangqi's eyes when he listened.

"Okay, it's very good, the official seems to be worrying about the sky, you have thought of this a long time ago, and the official is too talkative."

Xu Guangqi slowly walked to Zheng Xunrui's side, and opened his mouth with a stern face.

"Qingyang, you are the champion of the palace examination, the old man is not the chief examiner of the palace examination, it is said that he should not make such a request, if you don't dislike it, the old man wants to recognize you as a student, how about it."

Zheng Xunrui's body trembled slightly, and he quickly stood up.

"Teacher, please accept the student's bow."

Looking at Zheng Xunrui's respectful salute, Xu Guangqi did not refuse.

"Qingyang, you are in the court, the old man knows, you did not cling to Lord Zhou and Lord Wen, this old man is a mirror in his heart, the old man took the liberty to recognize you as a student today, thinking that you can make great achievements and serve the court, since the old man recognized you as a student, if there is no meeting gift, it is unreasonable."

Xu Guangqi walked in front of Zheng Xunrui and patted his shoulder gently.

"The old man can still speak in the household department, he greeted the household department yesterday, and provided you with 100,000 taels of silver, you also know that the imperial court can hardly take out the silver, if the treasury is full, there will be more than these silver, 100,000 taels of silver, can play some role, I hope you can use it well, the old man believes that you can govern Yan'an Mansion well, as long as Yan'an Mansion is well governed, the momentum of the Liukou will be greatly weakened."

It was not until this time that Zheng Xunrui's face really showed a smile, 100,000 taels of silver, for the entire Yan'an Mansion, it is indeed not much, but it can really solve many problems, and he is already a student of Xu Guangqi, and he will be able to be taken care of by Xu Guangqi in the future.
