He has been the governor of Caoyun for a few months, leaving Gan Xuekuo with a feeling of grievance, what the emperor asked him to do, he only did one thing, that is, he came to Huai'an Mansion and served as the governor of Caoyun and the governor of the four prefectures and three states, so that Zheng Xunrui left Huai'an, and the rest of the things were not done well at all, and there was no place to start.

At this moment, Gan Xuekuo found out that Zheng Xunrui had already organized a strict operation system in Huaibei, which was not a system that could be broken through in a short period of time, not to mention other things, as far as the matter of Cao Yun was concerned, because Hongmen controlled the Cao ship and merchant ships, and collected protection fees from it, Zheng Xunrui adopted some special Cao Yun methods according to the reality of Cao Yun and Cao Gang controlled by Hongmen, and blocked the way that Gan Xuekuo wanted to change the status quo from all aspects. Not only will it fail to change the situation of the water transportation, but it may also completely paralyze the water transportation system.

It was already the month of Layue, and the canals in the north had frozen over, making it impossible to transport grain.

When he took office in early September, Gan Xuekuo, who was the governor of Caoyun, was unable to transport a single grain of grain to the capital and the north.

The strange thing is that the emperor and the court did not reprimand much, which made Gan Xuekuo grateful and at the same time, he made up his mind to change the status quo in Huaibei, and he had to defeat Zheng Xunrui, who had been gone for a long time.

Gan Xuekuo was not idle, he secretly learned a lot about the situation, and carefully thought about where to start, so that he could really change the Caoyun and many docks controlled by Zheng Xunrui and Hongmen.

Zheng Jiajun is too strong, the Huai'an Firearms Bureau has a conspicuous goal, Hongmen Qianzhuang is thriving, and it is closely related to the lives of the people. When he first took office, he decided to start from Huai'an Wharf, because he misjudged the situation and couldn't do it, which led to all the plans being in vain before he could implement them, and Gan Xuekuo, who calmed down. It's time to take a stealthy twist.

The first thing he had to do was to adjust the officials of the Governor's Mansion and the four prefectures and three prefectures, and it needed to be adjusted on a large scale, and it had already entered the winter, and there were still two months to three months before the next year's grassland.

Gan Xuekuo is confident that he will be able to get the emperor's support by doing so. So he got into action.

The first thing is to screen the candidates for the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and the three prefectures of Huaibei Prefecture, including the candidates for the magistrate of Shanyin County, and those who have a deep relationship with Zheng Xunrui are first excluded, this kind of person must be adjusted, there is no reason, and secondly, the candidates who can be fought for, these people must do their work, and they will do both grace and power. Finally, there are candidates who can be trusted and retained, after such screening. Gan Xuekuo was surprised to find that most of the prefects and prefectures needed to be adjusted.

This is also difficult for Gan Xuekuo, he made a list, and the candidates who must be adjusted include: Ma Zhukui, Li Cao, who participated in politics, Li Yan, the governor of Huai'an Prefecture, Li Yan, the magistrate of Shanyin County, and Zhao Danyu, the governor of Fengyang Prefecture. Luo Changluo, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, Li Changshun, the governor of Luzhou, Ma Daikun, the governor of Xuzhou, and Liang Xingli, the governor of Cao, etc.

These people are either Zheng Xunrui's relatives or officials who have been following Zheng Xunrui for a long time. Can't pull together.

The second is the officials who can be won over, and there are quite a few of them, including Shi Kefa, the governor of Fengyang, Ma Shiying, who supervised and urged to participate in politics, Su Jiancheng, who escorted Su Jiancheng, the governor of Huai'an Prefecture, Wu Weiye, the governor of Huai'an Prefecture, Gu Menglin and Chen Zilong, and so on.

Finally, there are people who can be directly retained, and most of this part are local magistrates.

Every year from November to December, the officials will be evaluated, and this is also the best time to adjust the officials.

Gan Xuekuo knows very well that his such a big move will definitely cause shocks in all parts of Huaibei, and even cause Zheng Xunrui's revenge, but it doesn't matter, he has the support of the emperor and the court behind him, as well as the support of a large number of Donglin Party members, even if Zheng Xunrui is angry, there is no way.

Besides, as the governor of Caoyun, he was bound all the time, and Gan Xuekuo couldn't bear it.

In the Caoyun Governor's Palace, the plaque of Donglin Book House was re-hung, and it became the place where Gan Xuekuo usually handled official business.

Wu Weiye, Gu Menglin and Chen Zilong came to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, and saw the plaque of the Donglin Book House hanging at a glance, and their faces showed a look of shock, although they knew what happened in the capital and Huaibei, but after Gan Xuekuo took office, he did not make any changes, which made them a little relieved, but when they saw the plaque of the Donglin Book House, they had understood everything.

In recent times, there are still some changes in Huaibei, at least in Huai'an Mansion, Donglin Academy, which has been moved away for a long time, has started teaching again, it is said that Qian Qianyi, Huang Daozhou and Qu Shiyun and others are going to come to teach, which is undoubtedly for the Donglin Party to strengthen the momentum, so that the forces of Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe will return to all parts of Huaibei.

"Lord Wu, Lord Gu, Lord Chen, this official invites you to come today, the meaning is very clear, that is, I hope you can be loyal to the emperor, help this official change the situation in Huaibei, and break the dilemma of the dominant family here, you have all studied in Donglin Academy, understand the reason, this official wants to hear your clear answer, whether you can help this official, or think about leaving here."

Gan Xuekuo's words made Wu Weiye, Gu Menglin and Chen Zilong stunned.

is so direct, and the contradiction is too rare, from Gan Xuekuo's words, it is revealed that the emperor's extreme dissatisfaction with Zheng Xunrui has reached the point of irreparation.

Wu Weiye's personality was weak, and when he heard Gan Xuekuo say this, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't speak.

Gu Menglin is different, he has passed the age of not being confused, close to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he has seen through a lot of things, plus he has completely broken with the Donglin Party, and he also knows the methods of the Donglin Party, if he returns to the Donglin Party, don't think about any good end in the future, maybe he is offended by both ends, and he is not a person in the middle.

Chen Zilong's face was very calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

It was Gu Menglin who spoke.

"What the lord means, Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan has always been loyal to the emperor, and he is willing to follow the adult's side, but he has worked too hard over the years, so that Xia Guan feels that his health is not good, if possible, Xia Guan sincerely resigns from his official position and returns to his hometown to recuperate."

Gu Menglin's answer made Gan Xuekuo very dissatisfied, he chose to negotiate with Wu Weiye, Gu Menglin and Chen Zilong first after careful thinking, in his opinion, Wu Weiye, Gu Menglin and Chen Zilong will definitely defect, I didn't expect Gu Menglin to refuse, although it is also a choice to resign and return home, but behind such a choice, what is hidden is the unwillingness to betray and offend Zheng Xunrui.

"Lord Wu, Lord Chen, what do you think, should you also say that your health is not good?"

When Gan Xuekuo said this, Gu Menglin's face changed slightly, and the official was crushed to death, at this time, Gu Menglin couldn't lose his temper, but he knew that he had completely offended Gan Xuekuo.

Wu Weiye took a long time to speak.

"My lord, it's not that the official is not in bad health, but he is physically and mentally exhausted, and he also wants to resign from his official position and answer his hometown."

Gan Xuekuo's face was pale, and he couldn't imagine that Wu Weiye and Gu Menglin were unwilling to fight back.

He looked at Chen Zilong.

"My lord, the lower officials are also thinking about resigning and returning home."

Chen Zilong was simply not explained.

"Since you all want to resign and return home, the official will not keep you, and you will come up and resign as soon as possible, but the words that the official said to you today, I hope you can hide them in your hearts forever, of course, the official cannot force you, if you want to say these words, the consequences of the other day will also be borne by you."

The next conversation made Gan Xuekuo more and more chilled, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Su Jiancheng and others all said that they resigned and returned home, and they all wanted to go home to rest, the meaning behind this was actually that they were unwilling to oppose Zheng Xunrui.

Gan Xuekuo never imagined that he was playing the banner of the emperor, it is impossible for these people to be unclear, and their performance should be to express unconditional allegiance to the emperor, but these people are unwilling to express their position, and would rather not be an official.

Does Zheng Xunrui really have so much energy?

It was only a short period of hesitation and hesitation, but Gan Xuekuo still made up his mind, and what he did was that there were no Donglin Party members in the DPRK, and Qian Shisheng, Hou Xun and others all wrote to him, approving his practice of adjusting the officials in Huaibei, and even directly put forward candidates such as Zhang Pu, Yang Yi, Zhang Cai, Wu Changshi, and Gong Dingyu, and these people would have no problem in serving as prefects or even in the governor's palace to participate in politics, and the emperor would definitely agree.

Since everyone is not interested, Gan Xuekuo will not be polite, anyway, it is to offend Zheng Xunrui to move one person, and all adjustments are also to offend Zheng Xunrui, so the long pain is better than the short pain, so comprehensively adjust the candidates.

After thinking about it for a while, Gan Xuekuo began to write the folds.

The suggestions he put forward were enough to shock the Ming Dynasty: the governor's office of Caoyun participated in politics, supervised and urged to participate in politics, and escorted to participate in politics, all adjusted, the prefects and governors of the four prefectures and three prefectures of Huaibei were also adjusted, and the magistrates of Shanyin County were adjusted.

As for the candidates, Gan Xuekuo put forward some suggestions, Zhang Puke was appointed as the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture, Yang Yi was appointed as the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, Zhang Cai was appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, Wu Changshi was appointed as the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture, and Gong Dingyu was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou.

After writing the recital, Gan Xuekuo read it repeatedly, repeatedly urged himself to make up his mind, he knew very well that once this recital was in the hands of the cabinet and the emperor, it would cause a lot of discussions, and more importantly, his recital was likely to detonate the struggle between Zheng Xunrui and the Donglin party, resulting in an uncontrollable situation in Huaibei and Nanzhili.

Before leaving the capital, the emperor's entrustment gave Gan Xuekuo courage.

He finally gritted his teeth and sent the letter to the cabinet.

What Gan Xuekuo needs to do next is to wait, wait for the news from the emperor and the court, wait for the deployment of personnel to be adjusted in place, once this matter is completed, Gan Xuekuo will start to do it. (To be continued......)
