The emperor chose Shandong.

It's a province that has nothing to do with the cleanup of military cantonments.

That's why it's unexpected.

But it is indeed reasonable, because Liu Jian's status has always been special, and Shandong is now a great rule, in terms of love and merit, Zhu Houzhao should give this honor to Liu Jian and Shandong.

Although the affairs of Shandong do not actually need the emperor to spend a lot of effort, the small peasant economy itself is a stable word, as long as it is not tossed, it will remain in this state for many years.

But pragmatism is important, but it cannot be said that pragmatism is not needed at all, and politics still needs these.

Of course, Shandong is also involved in the new thing of sweet potatoes.

As for Yang Yiqing and Wang Wei, they were sent to Shaanxi and Fujian respectively, while Wang Bing and Yang Tinghe could only follow the emperor.

The level of such an arrangement is obvious, which makes Liu Jian a little flattered.

When the news slowly spread, most of the ministers and ministers nodded their heads, and Liu Xixian's governance of Shandong was very effective, as it should be.

is that there is not much actual content discussed, Zhu Houzhao listens a lot and talks little, even if it is the promotion of sweet potatoes, Yang Tinghe is there.

Outside the palace, Fei Hong found Shaofu Ling Gu Zuo.

They knew each other when Fei Hong was not released from Beijing, and it has been so for many years.

Outside it is said that Fei Hong, the governor of Sichuan, is coming to an end, but these are all rumors, Fei Hong basically doesn't listen, and he still thinks about things as the governor of Sichuan.

There is a thing that has been done very well in the Beijing Division, that is, it is not allowed to pee and splash feces on the main and secondary roads, and the Beijing Planning Department has built a lot of dry toilets on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has turned them into a business, although it is difficult to hear, but the feces do have the effect of fertilizing.

The Planning Department of the Beijing Division is under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu Order, and Fei Hong admired it when he saw Gu Zuo, "Everyone says that the Beijing Division has changed into a lively city that never sleeps, but it is not necessarily that this tasteful effort is very deep." Nowadays, when I travel all over the south and north of the Yangtze River, it is rare to see such a magnificent and clean city as Jingshi. ”

"Although the road is far, the journey is near; It's hard, but it's done. Brother Zichong, the Beijing Division Planning Division has also been in the past five years. ”

"yes, it's been five years......"

From the second floor of the building where they stood, they looked at the southern city, where there were clusters of low houses, among which you could see the private school, and in the quiet corner, suddenly there were many trees, and that was the library garden.

Because it is far away, you can't see whether there are men or women walking in the alleys, but pedestrians can tell the difference.

"When I entered the palace before, I heard Your Majesty talk about Shangtun, but Your Majesty was too busy and spoke in a vague manner, Liqing, would you like to solve my doubts?"

Gu Zuo waved his hand, "That's a good solution." There is a shortage of people in Sichuan, so it will be tempted by profits, there are things that can make money, and people are afraid that people will not gather? However, Brother Zichong, when this happens, I'm afraid you won't be in Sichuan. ”

Fei Hong was thinking about it just now, so he paused for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "Liqing still believes these nonsense words?" ”

"Even if it's a rumor, it's not groundless. Heard...... It is the governor of Fengyang and the governor of Caoyun and the river. ”

In the Ming system, the governor of Fengyang will generally have both Cao affairs and rivers, this is the old rule, but it is nothing.

The key is that from a mouth of Gu Zuo's weight, Fei Hong still felt a little shocked, and he didn't know what to say, "Liqing...... In any case, we will wait for His Majesty's will to talk about this matter. ”

"It's basically decided, so it's not impossible to talk about it." Gu Zuo put his hands behind his back, "At the beginning of last year, the case of the Yangzhou section of the Liangjing Straight Road in Huai'an...... It still makes His Majesty quite dissatisfied, the court spent so much silver, and in the end it was made like this, which is indeed worthy of the grace of God. This case was later investigated, and it was more or less involved Chen Tai, the former governor of Fengyang and the governor of Caoyun.

If you don't hide your son's brother, Your Majesty will change your son to be your brother, and it's too late for me to be happy. According to the current regulations, although Shaofu is fully responsible for the construction of the Liangjing Straight Road, after all, the road has to pass through the locality, and the people hired are also from the local people along the route. ”

Fei Hong nodded, "Not bad." Many things require the full cooperation and coordination of the local prefect and prefect. ”

"But I can't pee in the same pot with this Chen Tai, he is very cunning, and he is too shrewd as an official, plus the fall of the former Huai'an prefect shocked him, so there is never a good opportunity. Later, His Majesty decided, not to grind with him, whether it is suitable or not to change. ”

Hearing this, Fei Hong really believed that he was going to change places.

And this task is not light: the governor Caoyun is also the commander of the military affairs governor Fengyang and other places are also in charge of the river.

Governor Fengyang, Caoyun and the river, each of which is enough for him to work.

Of course, it can be regarded as a promotion, after all, they used to be governors, and now they have the title of governors.

"Naturally, a courtier does what he is told. Thank you Liqing, to tell you the truth, I really haven't thought about the matter here in Fengyang, in case Your Majesty asks, I won't know if I don't know, but it will be embarrassing. ”

"Brother Zichong is the champion, why be modest? The governor of Fengyang has jurisdiction over Fengyang, Luzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou and Chu, He, Xu Sanzhou, as long as there is a brother in Zichong, presumably the next one in Shandong Dazhi is Fengyang Dazhi. ”

"And the river."

"His Majesty will support it."

Fei Hong suddenly heard the news, in fact, there was some pressure, the promotion is a promotion, but this official is not so easy to be.

Seeing this, Gu Zuo seemed to understand something, and comforted him and said, "Brother Zichong, although the road is far, the line is coming." ”

How difficult it can be, these places are not barren places, as long as they are seriously governed for a few years, they will definitely be full of vitality.

In fact, just do it little by little, and wait until Zhengde is ten or fifteen years old, what is the situation in the world?

And changes like this have indeed been spread a lot in Kyori.

Zhu Houzhao also did not mean to strictly prohibit disclosure.

Because such a strict order will be discounted, too many people care about these things, and even if they really don't say anything, they will definitely be fake outside.

In addition, the scale of personnel transfer is large, so it is okay to let them know in advance, and there is some preparation in mind. If someone is really not suitable, then there is room for adjustment, after all, there is no official decree.

In this way, when it is finally announced, it is more logical to accept it both inside and outside the court.

At least Gu Zuo is happy about it.

In the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor is still listening, and now it is Yang Tinghe and Liu Jian discussing the promotion of sweet potatoes.

"We have cultivated a lot of seedlings, Shandong is close to Beijing, so we will first select several states and counties on both sides of the canal to try to plant, this year's ...... You can try to plant 10,000 acres first. ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at his eyelids, "Less, don't underestimate the prestige of Xixian Gong in Shandong, the people of other local governments generally don't believe it, but the people of Shandong still believe Mr. Liu's words." As long as he speaks, he will only plant 10,000 acres? Mr. Liu, you should remember the matter of conscription that I agreed with you, and the variety of grain is just enough to cover the rations of the servants. ”

Liu Jian strongly welcomed this, "If production can be increased, I believe that the people will never turn it away, Your Majesty can rest assured that the old minister will take this matter as the top priority of Zhengde for five years!" ”

The popularization of high-yielding crops will slowly spread out without the promotion of the government, because it is indeed high-yielding, but it will take decades, just like in history.

Therefore, it is still necessary for the government to take the initiative to push from top to bottom.

Zhu Houzhao said: "After the sweet potatoes are planted in Shandong, Xixian Gong can dig a large cellar in the local area for special storage, so that no one will starve to death in Shandong in the future, but no matter where there is a disaster, as long as the disaster relief is timely, the victims can eat at least a mouthful of sweet potatoes."

Liu Jian is also looking forward to it, looking forward to the heaven-like world that will really appear.
