Chapter 425: I can't help myself
On this day, Ying Nantu and Shen Ning received a letter from Shen Huashan from Hanoi Province and knew about Feng Wanshi.
Feng Wanshi was the advisor of the rebel leader Huang Yuan, and when the Recruiting Division invaded Ezhou, he disappeared. Shen Huashan deliberately told them about Feng Wanshi because of Feng Wanshi's identity.
Feng Wanshi studied under Mr. Chaotang, and Yu Zhengdao's vertical and horizontal techniques were learned from Mr. Chaotang.
The reason why Mr. Chaotang is praised is not only because of his status as an emperor, but also because of his super high moral character, how can such a person, the disciple he taught, be a strategist for the rebels?
This question will be clear when my uncle's letter comes from Jiangnan Province. Grandfather told us to pay attention to the house of Jingzhao Zhongchen and whether there were any strategists appearing. This matter will be followed up by the stream. Ying Nantu said with a smile.
The three generations of disciples of the Shen family were basically scattered by Shen Huashan Jingzhao. The only one who can fully trust Shen Huashan and take on the responsibility of the flow is Shen Ning. After Shen Ning became pregnant, Ying Nantu took care of the affairs of Ruliu on her behalf, and Feng Wanshi's matter was of course no exception.
It's just that Jingzhao is so big and there are so many courtiers, although it is not to look for a needle in a haystack, it is not easy to find this person. What's more, Feng Wanshi is a strategist, and it is too easy to hide himself.
"Actually, it's not like that, you just need to pay attention to the three-grade officials. Feng Wanshi was taught by Mr. Chaotang, and he was also the advisor of the rebel leader, and he was accustomed to high branches, how could he be willing to succumb to the family of ordinary courtiers? ”
Shen Ning said. Jingzhao's three-grade officials are numerous. In this way, it will be much easier to flow around. It's just that Feng Wanshi is this person. What exactly do you want to do? If this person can be found in the stream, everything will be clear.
At the same time, the household department received an urgent document from Hanoi Province, and Jiang Chenghai also received an urgent letter from Shen Huashan. The document and the urgent letter are all about the same thing, that is, the food problem in Hanoi Province!
Shen Huashan served as a temporary observer of Hanoi Province. Chasing grain from the household department came. Shen Huashan will have this move, which is also a helpless move.
Let's say, with the death of Huang Yuan and Liu Liang. The rebel rebels in Hanoi Province were brutally defeated by the Recruiting Division, and the remaining sporadic rebels were also recruited by the Division. Ezhou, Jinzhou and Zhengzhou have been leveled. The main tasks of the Recruitment Division have been completed.
The Solicitation Division was set up to quell the unrest. It was a temporary official organization, and now that the situation in Hanoi Province has been calmed, the existence of the Recruitment Division is of little significance, and the 50,000 soldiers, horses, food, and grass needed are really a large amount. Now that Hanoi Province is in a great drought, where can we support these 50,000 soldiers and horses for a long time?
Relying on the transshipment division to transport grain and grass is not always a long-term solution. Wang Bei, the observer of Jiangnan Province, made it clear that the current situation in Jiangnan Province is not optimistic. Gangnam Province did not have a major drought in Hanoi Province, but the grain harvest failed. The Jiangnan Provincial Transshipment Division has been transporting grain and grass for a short time.
As a last resort. Shen Huashan wrote to Emperor Jingxing that the situation in Daohanoi had been calmed, the task of the Recruiting Division had been completed, and the Recruiting Division should be disbanded. The remaining sporadic rebels in Hanoi Province, with the soldiers of the Hanoi Guard, are enough.
Emperor Jingxing accepted Shen Huashan's suggestion and withdrew the Recruitment Division, and now Zhang Ge has returned to the Jiangnan Provincial Station with 50,000 soldiers of the Recruitment Division, and then he will return to Jingzhao to report on his work.
Shen Huashan, but stayed in Hanoi Province. Because Qian Tongshi, the observer of Hanoi Province, was killed, Emperor Jingxing appointed Shen Huashan as the temporary observer of Hanoi Province and the general leader of Hanoi Provincial Affairs. Shen Huashan's main responsibility is to lead the officials and people of Hanoi Province to survive the drought and complete the uncontested work of the money tie.
After temporarily acting as the Hanoi Provincial Observer Envoy, Shen Huashan deeply understood the difficulties of Qian Tongshi's beginning. There are so many problems in Hanoi Province, and the biggest crisis at the moment is the severe drought.
It's already October, and since May, there has been no rain in Hanoi Province. This great drought is not only unique to Hubei, Jin, and Zheng, but also affects almost the entire territory of Hanoi Province, but the rest of the country is not as serious as these three places.
The top priority remains disaster relief. Fortunately, the officials in the rest of Hanoi Province were quite effective, and there was no chaos in the three places of Hubei, Zheng and Jin, and disaster relief and relief work had already been carried out one after another. The Hanoi Guards, assisting officials in various places, are both disaster relief and deterrence.
The most difficult situation is still in Hubei, Jin, and Zheng. The rebels and thieves have been exterminated, but the real problem in these three places has only come to the fore, that is, the problem of people's hearts.
The people of these three places were all under the leadership of Huang Yuan and Liu Liang, and they were also confused by their banner of "equal power and free taxation", and even some people thought that the imperial court would never think about them, and they always distrusted the court officials, and the people's hearts were quite unstable.
We must win back the hearts and minds of the people and continue to stabilize the situation in these three places, otherwise, even if the rebels on the west and north routes are quelled, there may still be rebels on the east and south routes.
These three places were first hit by a great drought and natural disasters, then by locusts, and then by wars and turmoil, and they have been destroyed to the ground. Reorganizing the officialdom order in these three places and leading the people through the drought is the first thing Shen Huashan has to do. However, this will not happen overnight.
In front of Shen Huashan is the officialdom that has collapsed in these three places. If the government wants disaster relief and disaster relief, it must first have officials, but the main officials in these three places have been killed by Huang Yuan and Liu Liang. The rest are either talented and mediocre or greedy and cowardly, and they can't support the officialdom of these three places at all.
Shen Huashan couldn't help but have a big head, so what should I do? I can only do it in a hurry. Of the surviving officials in these three places, Shen Huashan still used some of them; At the same time, soldiers with a little knowledge of Wenmo were selected from among the Hanoi Guard soldiers and let them take up official positions; Moreover, there is the most important measure: from the people of these three places, select the best people to hold official positions.
This is not only Shen Huashan's move to reconstruct the officialdom of these three places, but also a good way to win the hearts of the people in these three places.
If ordinary people want to hold official positions, they must go through many selections and pass through layers of hurdles. Township Examination, Spring Examination, and Palace Examination, there are very few people who can pass these triple assessments. For most people, if there is a person who can read and write, it is already the ancestral tomb that is smoking, how dare they dare to think that there will be an official in the family?
However, because of the drought and turmoil in Hanoi Province, the opportunity for ordinary people to become officials is just around the corner. There is no need to go through the township test, the spring test, the palace test, and there is no need to apprentice to the teacher to give gifts to seek official positions, as long as they are virtuous people, as long as they have the heart to seek the well-being of the people, they will have the opportunity to serve in the official positions of these three places.
The sages have gains, the capable have talents, and there is no shortage of such people among ordinary people. Shen Huashan's announcement of the selection of officials among the people shook the people of these three places, and the fierceness and sensation of the discussion were even more than the most prosperous Xianghe Street in Jingzhao.
Shen Huashan announced the temporary inauguration of the government in Zhengzhou, Henan, which is the place where Qian Tongshi died in his post, and it is also the place where Shen Huashan remembers his deceased. At this moment, in the palace, Chen Chengzheng was talking.
"Old lady. I have heard that the group of virtuous people selected from among the people, although they are not familiar with official affairs, are better at being conscientious and have prestige among the people, and now the people are calm, and the people's hearts are gone. This is really a good way, the old lady is really a god. ”
Chen Cheng's tone was very sighing. The old lady only showed this hand, and then he returned the people to his heart, so that he had to obey.
Shen Huashan listened to Chen Cheng's words, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, this method was only thought up by listening to Wei Songjiang's request in Ezhou.
Wei Songjiang, formerly known as Wei Er, had military merits, and was a little literate in literature and ink, so Shen Huashan intended to let him hold an official position, of course, Shen Huashan would have such a decision, and the person Wei Songjiang in the previous life that Shen Ning said also accounted for a lot of factors.
Regardless of whether this Wei Songjiang is the person who calms the chaos that Shen Ning said, just rush at his performance, Shen Huashan also intends to focus on cultivating him, and it is not easy to get a person who can get lost and has the courage to write.
After Wei Songjiang received the order, he said to Shen Huashan with anxiety: In fact, in their small battalion, the most prestigious and capable person is not him, but another person. Since he could hold an official position, he asked Shen Huashan to give that person a chance as well.
"Actually, there are a lot of people who are really talented. At that time, General Huang ...... Huang Yuan's banner is that the selection is unfair and the talents are buried, so ...... So the subordinates thought that he should be given a chance. ”
Wei Songjiang said so at the time. Wei Songjiang was just asking for his companions, but Shen Huashan was inspired and thought of the method of selecting meritocracy among the people.
The original officials, the soldiers of Hanoi, and the people of Hanoi Province were able to rebuild the officialdom structure of these three places and win the hearts of the people.
However, Shen Huashan looked quite worried. The hearts of the people were temporarily stabilized, but this continuous drought is like a huge powder keg, which will burst if you are not careful.
On the one hand, Shen Huashan led the officials of these three places to save themselves on the one hand, and on the other hand, he took money and food from Jiang Chenghai to help the people of Hanoi Province tide over the difficulties. Therefore, there was an urgent document sent to the household department, and there was an urgent letter to Jiang Chenghai.
Jiang Chenghai, who received the letter, was anxious but had nothing to do. Hanoi Province is short of money and grain, and what is lacking is not a small amount of tens of thousands of taels of silver, but tens of thousands of stones. It will continue to be supplied until rain comes from Hanoi Province!
Where can households afford such a number? It is true that the household department is in charge of the world's grain and wealth, but what can be done to Hanoi Province is to transfer grain from Gangnam Province, Lingam Province and other places.
However, now the richest Jiangnan Province said that the situation was not optimistic, and Wang Bei directly rejected the request of the household department. The reason for his refusal is very good, if he still transfers money and grain from Gangnam Province, maybe there will be turmoil in Gangnam Province.
This reason directly made Jiang Chenghai's face turn green. What can the household department do? Even if he had the heart to send millions of taels to Hanoi Province, the treasury would not have the money!
Jiang Chenghai tried all his tricks, but he was still depressed, so he had to go to the Shen family to find Ye Zhengchun to complain. (To be continued.) )
