Chapter 351: Inventory of Jiangnan

"This is in the middle ......"

It's going to get you in trouble!

Tong Guowei straightened up and "rubbed" his waist, shook his head with a wry smile.

"What's wrong?" Marzi asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that our governor has done another interesting thing: this guy privately appointed a native as the governor of Yunnan Province, and another native as a garrison, you say, what is this called?" Tong Guowei said to two colleagues.

"Didn't he ask the emperor for permission a long time ago about appointing the native as an official? You all know, what's there to be surprised about? Marzi asked rhetorically. Although Yu Zhong seems to be a little arrogant in the local area, this does not mean that he is the kind of person who is reckless. Others will write a fold to Kangxi, and he will write it too. In fact, soon after dealing with Ha Yuansheng and others, he had already written to Kangxi to elaborate on his plan for handling Yunnan affairs, in which the appointment of people of various ethnic groups to official positions in the imperial court was an extremely important component. Kangxi didn't agree to this at the beginning, and even reprimanded Yu Zhong for being "reckless" in the return recital, because almost no one in the ethnic minorities in the southwest has ever read a book, and he doesn't understand the order of officialdom, how can he be a good official? How can the court want this kind of official? In particular, discrimination against the various ethnic groups in the southwest has a long history, and the Han Chinese are now the overwhelming majority of the officialdom, and these people have always held themselves in high esteem; although they dare not make any comments on the Manchu or Mongolian officials, how can they allow the people of the various ethnic groups in Yunnan, who have always been regarded as barbarians, to serve as officials in the same dynasty as them? If Yu Zhong does this, he will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the court. However, although Kangxi did not agree at first, under the persuasion of Zhonghe and Old Man Fei, he finally allowed Yu Zhong to try this plan. However, since it is a trial trial, there are naturally limitations. That is, although Yu Zhong can appoint officials of all ethnic groups in Yunnan, these official positions shall not exceed five ranks.

They are also not allowed to hold official positions in places with a large population in Yunnan, let alone be transferred out of Yunnan, and at the same time, the number of people must not exceed ten! In addition, if within three years this method of appointment does not produce any effective results, Yu Zhong must abandon it and not mention it again!

It's an attempt. Very fresh and creative, but also more daring to try. Although the matter is not very big, it is not small, and the three old brothers in the study are all concerned about it. Therefore, the three of them also understand the content of the agreement between Kangxi and Yu Zhong.

"Of course I know that the emperor has given him permission to do so. However, his Zhizhou ...... But he was born a native slave! Tong Guowei heard Ma Qi's question, spread his hands, and replied with a wry smile.

"What? Is it a slave? Zhang Tingyu, who didn't plan to 'interject', couldn't help but scream.

"yes. And also a guilty slave. You say, "What should we do about this?" If this gets out. But it's another ventilation wave. ......" Tong Guowei smiled bitterly again.

"He's really not doing what people do. Dare not dare to ......" Ma Qi shook his head again and again, for neutralizing Ma De, he had already been tempered.

"I think it's better to press this first. Otherwise. The officials of the DPRK and China are easy to say, and those students who do good things are not easy to fiddle with! Zhang Tingyu thought about it and said again.

"Hehe, actually, I really want to see what those students will look like when they hear that they should have been in their official position but were taken away by a slave...... Tong Guowei smiled.

"These so-called students, in addition to what they say, how many people are really capable? Even if they are indignant and agitated by it. However, if Yu Zhongzhen gave that Zhizhou out for them to do, I am afraid that they would immediately run away without a trace. Ma Qi said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Not bad. Not bad! In this case, the newly built Yuanjiang Prefecture in Yuzhong is in the hinterland of Yunnan, and the place where it is located is not much worse than if it is not called a hundred thousand mountains. In such a vicious place, hum, it is ten times the salary, and these people will only retreat. Tong Guowei said with a smile.

And so it is. There are really few scholars today who have that kind of hard-working heart! Too many people only know themselves. Zhang Tingyu saw Tong Guowei glance at him.

I had no choice but to echo and say.

"That's what I said. However, having said that, these three of them will not be worry-free wherever they go. I still have a few more pieces here, and the ones above are about Mader! Do you two want to? Tong Guowei picked up two more pieces and raised them, and said to Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi.

"Mader? Ma De hasn't caused any trouble in the past few years! Don't...... He couldn't help it? Marzie asked, slightly nervous.

If he really can't help but want to make trouble again, his old man may not be able to resist the toss, and his body may not be able to withstand it. Perhaps, he may have to "beg for bones" in advance.

It's not that Mader can't help it...... It's just that what is said above in this fold does have something to do with him. You're still on your own! Tong Guowei smiled, held a fold in one hand, and got up to send it to Ma Qi and the others.

"Prime Minister Tong, you are the first assistant of the court, what can't be judged? Moreover, the three of us have their own division of labor, so let's not watch this recital! ”

Zhang Tingyu looked at Tong Guowei's smiling face, but did not stretch out his hand. From the way Tong Guowei looked at him just now, he had already noticed a trace of abnormality. Although he didn't believe that this Tong Xiangye had any bad intentions towards him, after all, since he entered the upper study, he did not fight for power, and he did not take advantage of anything, and he did everything after Kangxi ordered him to do it, and there was no big conflict of interest between him and Tong Guowei. Therefore, even if Tong Guowei has bad intentions towards Ma Qi, it is impossible to do anything to him. After all, a character like him can be regarded as unattainable no matter what. However, in the same way, he also knows that Tong Guowei is extremely power-hungry, and he likes to "intervene" in everything, and he can't tell when he will offend this old man. Just like in the past few years, Kangxi has not reused the princes, so most of the government is pressed on the three of them, and the six most important departments in the court are in charge of the three of them. Tong Guowei is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry; Ma Qi is in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites; And he is in charge of the household department and the criminal department. The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries, and is in charge of the promotion and dismissal of officials in the world, but the Ministry of Industry has always been regarded as the end of the six ministries, although once there is a project, it is a big fat difference. However, the fat difference is the fat difference, and if you want money, you have to reach out to the household. He Zhang has always been honest, and Shi Shilun and You Mingtang, who were originally in the household department, are not good at stubble, so it is inevitable that there will be many "misunderstandings" between him and the Ministry of Industry. Tong Guowei has always been scheming, but he is not a lenient person. Who knows if he has been topped by the household department for something, and now maybe it's just an excuse for Ma De, and it may not be necessary to come and tease him.

"Heke, Hengchen, you are really careful.

Am I afraid that you won't be able to publicize this? Besides, what if it is preached? It's not something unsightly. What's more, Ma De's impeachment memo is not one or two, he doesn't have to worry about having more debts, and he doesn't itch if he has more lice......" Tong Guowei didn't seem to hear the refusal in Zhang Tingyu's words, and still handed the memo to him and Ma Qi with a smile, and continued: "These two memorabilia." One is the impeachment of Ma De by an envoy who instigated his wife Luo Xin to secretly engage in business. Not only competed with the people for profit, but also induced the people to abandon agriculture and work, which was worried about the destruction of the Qing Dynasty. Another one. It's just that we are impeached for forming a party for personal gain, deliberately fabricating the words of Jiangnan to slander people without incident, and working with the old subordinate Shi Shilun and others, so that the whole dynasty thinks that Jiangnan, a place full of greedy people, is almost already politically clear...... Hehe, you say, do I dare to be arbitrary about this? Even if we have to report to the emperor, do the three of us have to ventilate first? ”

"Who is this? …… It's so bold! Marzzie gasped. Since Ma De and the former crown prince Yinren fought twice over the reform of the salt class and the Li Yuchang case, few people in the DPRK and the central government have long dared to pick their noses and eyes at the governor of Jiangnan. Even the three ministers of the study did not dare to think that they could fight with this hob. But. Mader usually doesn't take the initiative to stir up any big things, and they don't have anything to worry about. But now, there are stunned young people who want to come out and cause trouble, do these guys think that their lives are long?

"Okay, you Tong Guowei, you are obviously punching Ma De, but secretly you are stabbing me with a knife!" Zhang Tingyu is not as heartless as Ma Qi. From Tong Guowei's mention of Shi Shilun, he understood the other party's intentions: this Tong Xiangye wanted to stumble on the matter of "rectifying the rule of officials" currently presided over by him. You must know that Tong Guowei has been a Manchurian nobleman since his ancestors, and now he is even better than in the past. On relationships. He is Kangxi's uncle and father-in-law, in terms of status, he is a first-class duke, and he is also the first assistant of the dynasty, and he also controls the promotion of officials in the world. Although Zhang Tingyu himself also understands that since Kangxi handed over to him the first thing in the rectification of the officials, he may have to fight Tong Guowei in the ring one day. However, he didn't expect this day to come so early, and he didn't expect Tong Guowei, a scheming guy who has always behaved, to be so unbreathable. However, if this matter had been put in the past, he would have let him do it, but not now...... Kangxi is watching from behind!

"Heng Chen, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Although Zhang Tingyu is relatively young, he has been mixed in the study for so many years, and he has already practiced a set of prime minister's city mansions. In addition, he has always been calm, although his mind is racing, but his face is calm, and not even a trace of his eyes has changed. Tong Guowei didn't see anything, so he had to ask again.

"I think the emperor still knows about this matter. Ma De is a person, although you and I know a little, but after all, we are still not familiar with each other. Moreover, for a long time, Jiangnan officialdom has been relatively "chaotic", but it has been relatively calm over the years, and there have been no major malpractices, and it is just human nature for some people to be suspicious. In my opinion, this matter should indeed be investigated. If, as stated in this recital, there is only a superficial scenery, but the inside has long since decayed, then Ma De cannot escape the blame. If this is not the case, you can also justify Ma De's name, after all, he is also a feudal official, whether it is in the local area or in the court, his status is extraordinary, and he can't be entangled for these rumors, right? Zhang Tingyu thought for a while and replied.

"Yes, what Hengchen said is very true. Ma De has been in Jiangnan for a long time, and it is inevitable that some people will not be able to see it, and a check can refute the rumors and reduce some troubles for the imperial court. However......" Ma Qi interjected again: "Don't mention this Luo Xin matter." In this Manchu Dynasty, how many people are not in private business? That Luo Xin and Mo Jing are just a little bigger. If those people exaggerate based on this, then the court still has to ban business? And. At the time of Cao Yun, Mo Jing also secretly helped Zhili to survive the food shortage, and made great contributions to the imperial court, although the emperor did not commend him, but everyone knew these things in their hearts. Furthermore, as far as I know, Luo Xin has a great temper.

I heard that she had used a musket in front of Qianjun to threaten Nian Qianyao, and it is said that she almost killed someone in Nian, if this incident provoked her to anger and make something out of control, it may not be easy to bear! ”

"Hmmm! That...... Really check Jiangnan? Tong Guowei nodded at Ma Qi, he really didn't want to provoke Mo Jing and Luo Xin easily, Kong Lao Er once said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise! Moreover, although Luo Xin has been living in Jiangnan all these years, she has always been holding the kings of Eastern Mongolia. Such a hard stubble. Even if you put it there and let him gnaw it, he will have to gnaw it for a while. What's more, there is a Ma De who has always been the only wife and horse head standing next to him? Mo Jing is even more difficult to mess with! Just calculate the merits of this "Jue Luo" county lord, which time is not higher than the sky? Nearly half of the land of the Qing Dynasty was "blown" by others. Kangxi Ke has always owed a lot of money to others, with the temper of this emperor. How could people easily offend her? It can be said that Yu Zhong has caused so many things but has not been condemned by Kangxi, and it is very likely that he has a powerful wife...... However, Zhang Tingyu responded to his hand, which inevitably seemed too relaxed...... You must know that the Criminal Department has been holding it in Zhang Tingyu's hands, and this time the rectification of the government is currently led by this kid, if you want to investigate the Jiangnan officialdom, Zhang Tingyu will inevitably take the lead. In this way, if something happens, it will definitely offend Mader. As everyone knows, Ma De is not a good character. provoked that kid to get angry, and he dared to poke a hole out of the sky. And the so-called investigation, no matter what you say, there will definitely be some trouble, if he 'inserts' a hand from it again, isn't Zhang Tingyu afraid that Ma De will turn his face? Although Zhang Tingyu's holy family is grand. Ma De may not be able to take it down, but it will definitely cause big trouble to Zhang Tingyu, which is not conducive to the progress of the "rectification of the rule of officials", which will also cause Kangxi's dissatisfaction......

"If you want to check, you have to check carefully. Moreover, the candidate has to be decided. Lest it be like last time......" Marzine opened his mouth and said no more. However, although he didn't finish speaking, Tong Guowei and Zhang Tingyu still understood. This old man is afraid that the candidates sent will not be able to do things, and if it is like the last time the fourth Yinzhen made trouble in Anhui, it will not only be a problem of provoking Ma De's anger, but also the people of the court.

"Or ...... Let's go to the emperor, and then invite the fourth elder brother to come out? Tong Guowei looked at Ma Qi, closed his eyes and thought about it, and said.

"The fourth elder brother has a temper...... Forget it! "It's him who is worried, why do you still mention it?

Ma Qi glared at Tong Guowei dissatisfied. Is Lao Tzu really blind? Your old boy's subordinates have been beaten down a lot by You Mingtang and others recently, but who can blame this? Although the emperor didn't say it explicitly, how could you, as the first assistant, not know that you were going to rectify the rule of officials? Besides, if you are not strict with your subordinates, and you don't tell your subordinates to pay attention, who can blame them for hitting the edge of the knife? I know that you are angry in your heart, but even if you want to trouble Zhang Tingyudi, you can't make such an idea! The fourth elder brother lost face in Anhui last time, even if he was careful this time, he would definitely want to get it back, but how could his temper not attract resentment? Ma De was stunned again, if he also made a mistake, the two of them would definitely have to be pinched to death. Besides, do you think that Ma De and the fourth elder brother are fools and will not know anything? Even if this matter of clearing the officialdom will be put on the heads of Zhang Tingyu and the others, will you be able to wash it away at that time?

"I think the fourth elder brother is a suitable candidate. First, the fourth elder brother is upright, and second, his relationship with Ma De is not very good, which can also make those who have a heart have nothing to say. Moreover, there is really no one else in charge of this matter in the DPRK and China. The fourth elder brother, as the king of Yongjun and one of the two eldest princes in the court, is enough to preside over this matter regardless of identity or qualifications! Zhang Tingyu did not echo Ma Qi, but supported Tong Guoweilai.

"Hehe, I said Lao Ma, Hengchen and I have the same opinion, you have to retreat!" Hearing Zhang Tingyu's words, Tong Guowei smiled at Ma Qi with a happy smile.

"Stop! It's okay to say anything, but this matter still has to be nodded and agreed by the emperor first. Mazzi said.

"This is natural!" Tong Guowei nodded with a smile, and turned his head to look at Zhang Tingyu, but Zhang Tingyu had already bowed his head to deal with his own affairs.
