Chapter 656: The Lin Clan
Yang Meng's car back to Jiujiang was basically the same as when he came, except that there was one more woman, the old man and Wei Wu, the Buddha girl Yanru that he had cultivated to kill his murderous nature.
For today's Yang Meng, officialdom, the court and the international situation are better games, except for Yanru, when she was in Yang's mansion, Yang Meng did not touch her during this time.
With the precedent of Tiffany's, coupled with the origin of such a woman, the women in the back house did not do anything to Yan Ru, after all, this is the person chosen by the old man of the Yang family, and the women of the back house have to give the old man some face.
Similar to when he came, Yang Meng still inspected the provinces along the way on the way back to Jiujiang, and the previous transit, Yang Meng also left a task for the officials of the Yang family to weigh the irrigation canals in various places to prepare for the subsequent repair of the canals.
Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan, and the two lakes are all listed, and without chemical fertilizers and improved seeds, the only way to increase grain output is to conserve water and prevent flooding.
"Third master, since Huang Zonghan left office, the imperial court intends to let Luo Bingzhang take charge of Sichuan, so that the position of governor of Hunan will be vacant, do we need to operate it?"
The battle situation between Anqing and Anhui and Jiangxi is still a stalemate, how many cities Zeng Disheng and Zuo Jigao have won, how many places the Taiping army has conquered, and Yang Meng has little to do with it, as long as the Taiping army's troops do not reach the two lakes, there is no need to move the naval division regimental training.
Now Yang Meng's staff group has also set its sights on officialdom, after Huang Zonghan moved, there were loopholes in Sichuan's official office, and the Sichuan governor was the most powerful of the nine governors, and there was no governor in Sichuan. The imperial court still attaches great importance to it.
Tune Luo Bingzhang into Sichuan. The imperial court was also well thought out. Sichuan is the country of abundance, there are not a few grains, finances and taxes, and Sichuan is also an important place for the training and salary of the sailor regiment, and it is only afraid that he will have to follow in the footsteps of Huang Zonghan if he sends a person who does not deal with Yang Laosan in the past.
Luo Bingzhang of Hunan has made great achievements in the suppression of bandits and river projects, and has made great achievements in running the government affairs of a province. Luo Bingzhang is also remarkable, and it has become the best choice to use Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang as the governor of Sichuan.
As for the vacancy in Hunan, for the time being, there is the governor of Huguang and the official and the document is also signed, and now the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is unstable, although the governor of Hunan is a small feudal errand, but those who have the ability are unwilling to go, and those who do not have the ability can not go, and how to arrange the court for this function still needs to be pondered again.
After listening to Xu Ziwei's report, Yang Meng's brows also wrinkled. In the past two years, Hunan is about to carry out the project of repairing the canal, and Luo Bingzhang is missing this supporter. Hu Linyi led the troops to Anqing again, but now the power of the two lakes is in the hands of the official minister.
"Do you have any candidates over there?"
How many people in the Yang family have become officials, and what Cheng DΓΉ has done, Yang Meng is not very clear, these things are all the livelihood of the staff group, and these official positions, except for a limited few, more than half of the official positions Yang Meng is not very concerned.
"Third master, among our people, are there any people who are qualified to be small fiefdoms! Now I am afraid that only Zeng Disheng and Zuo Jigao can take on this big responsibility! β
Small feudal territory, it is not something that can be sat on casually, background, official position, and qualifications are all necessary factors, Xu Ziwei measured the manpower of the Yang family, except for Zeng Disheng and Zuo Jigao, the Yang family really has such manpower.
"These two are not right! Although Zeng Zuo's current military exploits are enough, the court also has suspicions about them, which is not good, and the two of them are afraid that they do not have this qualification.
Compared with Zeng Disheng, Zuo Jigao is still a little worse, Zeng Disheng and we are not of the same mind, at this time, he is on the position of governor of Hunan, I am afraid that it is a problem to raise tigers.
Today's Zeng Disheng is in a similar situation to me, once he does the errand of Hunan Governor and Xiangyong, he can be pushed to Zeng Laojiu, this matter is very inappropriate, it is a move to make enemies! β
For Zuo Jigao, Yang Mengxin is more serious, this Zeng Disheng can only be regarded as half enemy and half friend, Zeng Disheng This person is more than enough to be a governor regardless of qualifications or knowledge, and he has moved Zeng Shilang seven times in ten years, if he is now allowed to ascend to the position of a small feudal territory, with the advancement of the war, the governor and entering Beijing are also a matter of rebellion.
Without the restraint of Xiang Yong, this Zeng Disheng is a dragon returning to the sea, once he is no longer trapped by the military, he can only be Yang Meng's enemy in the officialdom.
"Third Master, if that's the case, can you use Lin Gong's old age? The second master is going to serve in Jiujiang recently, and it is best to use Lin Gong's old age! β
In the affairs of officialdom, Yang Meng does not have the ability to control now, all he can do is beat the side drum, for the affairs of officialdom, Xu Ziwei's side is only a building, and it is not a wise move to argue with the court now.
"Hmmm! This path is good, is there anyone who can be of great use in Lin Laohu's old age? β
The second brother must have the second brother's team, and the people of the Yang family are too influenced by themselves, Xu Ziwei's statement made Yang Meng feel a little amazing, if there are people available in Lin Laohu's old age, it would be the best.
"The first one is Pan Xien, who has been the governor of the river, this person is not only an old friend of Lin Gong, but also has a good relationship with the second master, if he is the governor of Hunan, he must still be close to the second master."
Pan Xien's name, Yang Meng had heard Lin Laohu say before, and Lin Laohu's generation, how old is this?
"How old is he?"
"Two out of seventy!"
"Isn't that? Push him up, the second brother is still a junior, and it is inconvenient to act, what is this Pan Xien doing now? β
Seventy-two veterans, if you just let him be the governor of Hunan, you can't help the second brother.
"Funded a group training in Anhui."
"Hmmm! Let Zuo Jigao help take care of it, this person's age is too old and not suitable! Anyone else? β
The governor of Hunan is also a big official position for the imperial court, Pan Xien's age is too old, once he is on top, there is a good one, and the next governor of Hunan is chosen, Yang Meng is not easy to speak.
"The other one is Shen Baozhen, the nephew and son-in-law of Gong Lin, who is only thirty-seven years old, and the official is in Guangjiu Daotai, Jiangxi, and has made war exploits in the suppression of bandits, and Zeng Disheng has a good relationship with him!"
This Xu Ziwei is from a master's background, and he is proficient in personnel matters, and he has made an article about this in advance. Lin Zexu's relatives and friends are old. He can also say it.
"Hmmm! It's a good candidate. Did Lin Laohu's sons join the ranks? Promote these people, so that the second brother can earn some reputation, and the rest of the available people will say it together! β
Officialdom is on the rise, there are one or two leaders, Shen Baozhen is a good choice, Guangjiu Daotai, Lin Zexu's nephew and son-in-law, the second brother is Lin Zexu's closed disciple, and the second brother and Shen Baozhen were mentioned. Lin Laohu's old group also has a main force.
If you promote Lin Laohu's children and students again, a small young group will be counted! Shen Baozhen is in charge of the government, and the second brother is in charge of the army, although it is separated by a province, but the connection between Jiujiang and the two lakes is very close, and there is a lot to be done about this matter.
"Lin Ruzhou is a waiter in Hanlin, Lin Congyi is a foreigner in Liangjiang Mansion, if it is released, Lin Ruzhou can be the prefect at the most, and Lin Congyi can be a state and county.
Shen Baozhen is the third son-in-law of Lin Gong, and the eldest son-in-law Liu Qi is now serving in De'an Mansion under Hu Linyi. It's also a talent.
Feng Guifen, another student of Lin Gong, is now preparing for the training of Tuanyong in Suzhou. This person is also a usable talent, and Hu Linyi also uses him a lot.
Speaking of Shen Baozhen, I also have to mention Rao Tingxuan, in order to assist Shen Baozhen to keep Guangxin, Rao Tingxuan lost the post of Fujian Land Governor, Shen Baozhen's work in keeping Guangxin is mostly due to Lin Gong's old department! β
This Lin Laohu is in the same vein, with Shen Baozhen, Liu Qiyi, Feng Guifen, and Rao Tingxuan, which can be regarded as a wealth of talents, but it is a pity that there is no responsible person on the head of these people to support them, otherwise the future of the four of them will not stop here.
"Hmmm! Has this Luo Bingzhang now received an edict from the imperial court? β
"Not yet, this is the news sent back by the shadow, at most in one month, Luo Bingzhang should be able to get the edict of the governor of Sichuan!"
"That's good! Let's go straight to Changsha! β
Two days later, Yang Meng's fleet arrived in Changsha, and Luo Bingzhang naturally wanted to go out of the city to greet him.
"Ministry, if you have an order over there, you can directly send someone to give an order, so that the ministry will condescend, but it is the sin of Bingzhang!"
Although Luo Yang and the others are said to be different in age, they are also short of official positions, and they should be respectful, and Luo Bingzhang will naturally not be less.
"But I have something to ask for here, I don't know what Luo Futai thinks of Shen Baozhen of Guangjiu Dao in Jiangxi?"
Yang Laosan came up to recommend talents straight to the point, but he caught Luo Bingzhang off guard, and the position of Guangjiudao was promoted to the position of the envoy and the political envoy, which was a small feudal territory, and after hesitating, Luo Bingzhang also opened his mouth slowly.
"Guangjiu Dao Shen Baozhen, Zeng Disheng, who suppressed bandits in Jiangxi, praised him, it must be good, and this person is from a serious Hanlin background, and it is more than enough to be an envoy in Hunan."
The position of Hunan political envoy is still Zuo Jigao, and the position that can be vacated by Luo Bingzhang is only the position of the inspector.
"According to the Inspector? Too small! How is it to be the governor of Hunan? β
"What do you mean?"
"What do you say? Governor Locke! β
Let Shen Baozhen be the governor of Hunan, Luo Bingzhang is about to move his seat, there is no news from the court, no wonder Luo Bingzhang was surprised, after Yang Meng shouted Governor Luo, Luo Bingzhang immediately understood, it seems that the next governor of Sichuan is his own.
"Luo can be recommended, but it's just ...... the imperial court"
"Luo Futai's recommendation must not be ignored by the imperial court, I will make the best of it, this thing can be done most of the time, now this Hunan is in ruins, and the employment must be cautious!"
Luo Bingzhang can be promoted to the governor of Sichuan, and Yang Meng has also directly contributed to it, if it weren't for Yang Meng to bring down Huang Zonghan, how can there be anything about Luo Bingzhang in the position of governor of Sichuan? Luo Bingzhang is also grateful for this, and Shen Baozhen's matter, he can't agree here.
Yang Laosan's cautious words are also good, Shen Baozhen has an official reputation and political achievements, although he is inferior in qualifications, but he is barely able to be the governor of Hunan.
Hunan's political achievements are also part of Luo Bingzhang's work, and now the matter of repairing the canal is in progress, and choosing a good successor is not an additional livelihood for Luo Bingzhang.
"Ministry, Sichuan affairs ......"
"Eighty or nine, right? When I arrived in Sichuan, the matter of repairing the canal had to continue, and there were many mountain people in western Sichuan, and it was best to open and close my eyes to the things over there, as long as Sichuan was not chaotic, it would be a great achievement. β
Yang Meng spoke highly, but Luo Bingzhang ate this, this Yang Laosan Yang Butang, although it was a little vulgar, but whether it was leading the army or being a politician, it was the best choice in the world.
"Remember the teachings of the Ministry!"
"It's redundant to say that these are all redundant, during this time, I want to step down from the errand of the military and political governor of Jiangnan, the foreigners over there in Guangzhou, the more they make trouble, the more unorthodox they become, and some things still have to be done in front."
"Righteousness!"
"Remember what we said, there is a Lin Congyi in Liangjiang, if Luo Futai has a chance, it would be best to transfer him to Hunan, but it is really not possible, and it will be transferred to Sichuan!"
Yang Laosan is a benevolent retribution, but this is not a bad thing for Luo Bing, compared with the promotion of Shen Baozhen and the transfer of Lin Congyi, he has received greater benefits, these two things are done, and this time the relationship will be always.
As soon as he heard this Lin Congyi, Luo Bingzhang also understood Yang Laosan's intentions, this is to reuse Lin Yuanfu's descendants! It seems that this Yang Laosan is also a person who values love and righteousness, Lin Yuanfu promoted the Yang family in Yunnan back then, and now it is time for the Yang family to repay the favor.
Yang Laosan is abnormal, Luo Bingzhang has never dared to have a deep relationship with Yang Laosan before, and the relationship between the two is mostly above government affairs, after seeing these, Luo Bingzhang feels that Yang Laosan can be friends. (To be continued......)
