Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 973
Time passed, and soon it was May.

As expected, the rainy season in the south has changed from continuous rain to heavy rain, and the rain will never end.

Although all parts of the south, especially the towns and villages near the river, were quite prepared, they did not expect the water to rise so quickly.

It was almost rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flood spread in an instant.

Urgent documents from all over the south flew to today's desks like snowflakes.

Today, I was so depressed that I almost vomited blood, and I once again had a deep understanding of the incompetence of local officials.

Knowing that there might be a flood, the local officials still took chances. All kinds of disaster prevention preparations were seriously insufficient, and they were dumbfounded when the flood really came.

There is nothing to say, what the imperial court can do is to send imperial envoys to supervise the normal operation of the local government, and help the victims by the way. As for more, there is nothing to expect.

Of course, when encountering those who perform poorly, those who deserve to be killed should be arrested. As for those who should be removed from office, there is no need to be polite.

Today is also psychologically prepared, and plans to take the opportunity to clean up the officialdom.

To be honest, these troubles are all troubles left by his father, the emperor, and in the end he had to ask Jinjin to help finish it. One can imagine the depression in his heart.

In his later years, the emperor suddenly began to pursue posthumous fame.

Naturally, the constraints on officials were loosened, causing all kinds of chaos in the officialdom, and there were many hills attacking each other.

The officialdom in the south is firmly controlled by several major factions, and officials from other factions have no way to gain a foothold here.

Over time, it will naturally lead to a large number of mediocre officials flooding the officialdom.

It's nothing at ordinary times, with the support of faction forces, usually Yushitai is not willing to easily provoke right and wrong.

As a result, when something happens, whether you have the ability to immediately reveal your true colors.

Because of the face of the emperor before, it is not easy to toss too much now. Now the opportunity is rare, so naturally I will not let it go easily.

So, not long after this year has passed, hundreds of officials have been taken down from north to south, and a large number of powerful positions have been vacated all of a sudden.

All the alternate officials who have the opportunity to take the position are busy looking for a way to find a backer, wanting to take the opportunity to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being a backup.

The Ningrong Second Mansion, as the powerful and dignitaries in the capital, is naturally the target of many replacement officials.

It's just that Jia Rong is often not here in the Ning Mansion, and Qin Keqing is not good at entertaining foreigners, so there are not so many visits.

Here in Rongfu, there is a lot of traffic.

Jia Rong did not refuse to accept the doormen, and would arrange for a few capable ones, but that was all.

After all, it is not enough to look at character alone in officialdom.

In addition, there may be two kinds of mentality whether he has power or not. He doesn't want to be stared at by Yu Shitai because of his disciples, and he will be wronged.

The disciples he arranged were all in positions that needed work.

Whether you have the ability, or whether you are willing to do something, you can tell at a glance.

What Jia Rong really needs to care about is the officials trained by Jia Clan Studies. This time is a good opportunity to resettle them.

There is no hope in the south. If you have no foundation and send people there rashly, you will either be assimilated or excluded, so why bother.

Moreover, it is dominated by aristocratic families and gentry, and the power of the founding nobles cannot reach it.

The situation here in the north is much better, and the power of the gentry is not so exaggerated.

Because of geographical and economic factors, the power of the aristocratic families here is not so strong.

At the very least, the founding Xungui Group has a great say.

Don't worry too much about being excluded, as long as your performance is not bad, the Ning Mansion can basically cover it.

The key point is that the ethnicity graduates arranged by Jia Rong basically did not take the imperial examination route, and it was quite difficult to get promoted.

Leaping from the ninth rank to the eighth rank is not a small progress. If one can become the county magistrate of the seventh rank, the promotion speed will be very fast.

In order not to cause too much disturbance, the Ning Mansion didn't do too much.

Basically, people are arranged to be officials such as the county yamen boss, county lieutenant, and county magistrate, which has already satisfied those guys.

Before, they were basically warehouse envoys under the Water Transport Yamen, and they were officials with ninth-rank positions.

Although the oil and water are good, there is basically no future at all.

Now being able to jump out of the barriers of the water transportation yamen and enter the local government yamen to work, not only has the rank improved, but the future is much brighter.

The unspoken rules in the officialdom, non-Jinshi non-benevolent officials, the highest can achieve the position of fifth-rank magistrate, is already considered a hero.

If you are still working as a warehouse envoy in the Water Transport Yamen, the ambassador who can reach the seventh rank at the highest level will already burn the incense. I don't know how much it will cost?
Of course, everyone has their own aspirations. Some people like the stable and lucrative position of warehouse envoy, and they don't want to go to the local government to fight, so they can't force it.

After some operations, the influence and influence of the Ning Mansion, or Jia Clan Studies, expanded rapidly in a short period of time.

Although it is still inconspicuous, no one can tell what it will develop into in the next few years.

Among other things, at least they have opened up channels for many local government offices.

Subsequent ethnology graduates have many more employment opportunities than their predecessors.

Jia Rong arranged staff in an orderly manner, so low-key that it was difficult to attract attention.

There is no way, there is Rong Mansion next door to help attract the attention of the outside world.

The Rong Mansion did not hide anything, and would not refuse anyone who came to the door.

It is not an exaggeration to say that receiving gifts and receiving soft hands is not an exaggeration.

The second master of politics has been in a pretty good state of mind recently, and with a blushing face, he can tell that something good is going on.

Jia Rong only found it funny when they met several times on Ningrong Street.

I heard that Mr. Zheng Er's concierge received soft hands, so I don't know if he can remember everyone's name?
As for arranging all the disciples properly, it is difficult for even the cabinet chiefs, let alone the second political master.

Ordinarily, the Second Master of Political Affairs has been in the Department of General Affairs for so long, and he must have heard a lot of things. Do you think he can control so many disciples?

It was later discovered that it was all Mrs. Wang's fault!

This one can be said to be 'open when you see money', she dares to accept money and expensive gifts from anyone.

I'm not afraid that there will be problems in it, anyway, she has got the benefits, and the second master of politics will be responsible for the finishing.

However, the old lady didn't care about asking, as if she didn't know, how could it be possible?

Mr. Zheng Er is also a face-saving person. When encountering such a thing, it is impossible for him to yell at Mrs. Wang to express his dissatisfaction, so he can only suppress his depression.

Of course, the roots of his ears have always been soft.

After being flattered by the newly accepted disciples, the whole person felt elated.

He wasn't stingy with those who could arrange it, but Rong Mansion's cards were limited after all, and being able to arrange five or six people was already the limit.

No matter how much, the resources of the four major families in Jinling will have to be used, and the second master of Zheng also knows that the other families are unlikely to let go.

Jia Rong didn't say anything, since he was a disciple of the second master of politics, the second master of politics would be mainly responsible for any problems in the future.

However, when the assigned disciples took office, he still sent people around him to warn them.

You don't need to be so polite, the Rongfu can arrange their positions, and naturally they can easily take off their official hats, so they can't make mistakes.

It is not unique that Rong Mansion is full of people. Recently, many rich and powerful mansions have such a busy scene in front of their houses.

In this way, it didn't make Rong Mansion particularly conspicuous.

Besides, with the energy of the Rong Mansion, it is already the limit to be able to arrange one or two fifth-rank magistrates.

Compared with the rest of the dignitaries, the fourth-rank or even third-rank real jobs are much inferior.

The only exception is Jia Yucun.

It has to be said that before he made his fortune completely, or achieved his own goals, this fellow was quite humble and low-key, and his ability was also very outstanding.

Before, he went to Beijing with Lin Ruhai's family, and after some manipulations, he got into the position of the fifth-rank magistrate.

Different from the original novel of the Red Chamber, Wang Ziteng at this time is not the military governor of the Beijing camp, his own energy is very limited, and it is concentrated on the local garrison.

Naturally, it was impossible to get Jia Yucun the position of prefect of Jinling.

You know, the magistrate of Jinling is a dignified third-rank official position, he is already considered a local official, and he has a lot of weight in the capital.

Going one step further, that is the six minister-level bosses, who are even very likely to enter the cabinet.

It's no wonder that he was able to become Da Sima in the end, that is, Minister of the Ministry of War.

What's the matter, the starting point is so high, coupled with the intentional use of it now, the promotion speed is naturally quite rapid, and it is estimated that it will be over if it is not entered into the cabinet.

Of course, in Jia Rong's view, success also has a high starting point, and failure also has a high starting point.

Because the starting point of the resurgence is too high, and the speed of promotion is fast, it is too late to cultivate party members and establish a stable hilltop faction.

As a result, it was only a small disturbance that was easily taken down, without causing much disturbance in the court.

You know, that is the majestic Minister of the Ministry of War. When he was taken down, he didn't cause official turmoil. It was a joke.

Right now, when Jia Yucun recovered, although Lin Ruhai also helped, he was only a fifth-rank magistrate.

Jia Yucun is quite satisfied, and his place of office is not a prosperous place like Jinling, so naturally there is no need to worry about official talismans.

In office, his performance is still good.

After all, he was born in a poor family and had suffered a lot. He didn't have to worry too much about local tycoons, but he cared about ordinary people to some extent, so his reputation is still very good after his term.

When this opportunity came, the Second Master Zheng came forward in person, Lin Ruhai followed suit, and became a fourth-rank Taoist platform in Guanzhong near Jin Province.

Although it's not under Lin Ruhai's jurisdiction, it's close. Jia Yucun can't hide anything from Lin Ruhai, so there's no need to worry too much about this guy being a monster.

Some of these are not, Jia Rong just keeps paying attention, and doesn't mean to intervene too much, he has other things that need to consume energy.

Didn't the big clans along the southeast coast take action before and warned the founding Xungui Group?

The founding Xungui Group, of course, will not be intimidated, on the contrary, it will be aroused: what do you want to do, rebellion?
Even today and the royal family, if they want to move them, they need to go through twists and turns, and they dare not directly attack them. Why are a bunch of local forces so arrogant?
If Jia Rong hadn't stopped them, they would have used their own strength to teach the southeast coastal clan a profound lesson.

The imperial court is on the southeast coast, and there is a navy.

Regardless of the strength of that navy and how it has been infiltrated, it represents the imperial court after all.

As long as the navy is moved and some obstacles are given to the ships of the southeast clan at sea, it is enough for them to drink a pot.

If you really want to do this, it is estimated that the southeast coastal clan will be desperate.

The Daqian continued from the former Ming Dynasty. During the small court period of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Japanese Rebellion also broke out along the southeast coast. Although the scale was not large and the impact was not as huge as in normal history, the doorway inside was still leaked.

At least the rich and powerful in the capital knew it well, and the rich families in the southeast coast and many desperadoes in the outer seas had very close ties.

Once they are completely annoyed, if they don't care about directly colluding with the outlaws and cholera in the southeast coast, the situation will be bad.

Jia Rong's opinion is not to directly attack the other party, but to start with their fundamental interests.

First take down all the overseas trade of Goryeo, and then the country of Wa.

After taking down the overseas trade of the Japanese country, find a way to encourage the gentry and aristocratic forces in the south to join the ranks of ocean trade, so that the forces in the south will fight among themselves.

To say a thousand words and ten thousand, Jia Rong doesn't want Daqian to be completely chaotic, which is of no benefit to him.

The leader of the founding noble group was persuaded, and then increased the ocean trade with Korea, and even directly infiltrated people.

They didn't know very well before that Goryeo's geographical environment is so special.

The mountains at the border with Dagan are very difficult to walk, but the south is a smooth road, and it is a pretty good place for grain cultivation.

Naturally, it is very inconvenient to go by land, but if you take the sea, it is much easier and simpler to reach the essence of Koryo.

Even, because it is very close to the Dagan Northland, it is very suitable for the infiltration of the dignitaries of the Northland.

In other words, according to the pissing nature of the powerful and powerful, seeing the developed and mature plains in the south of Koryo, it is not their character if they don't have any ideas.

What they like to do most is to try their best to pick peaches.

After understanding the internal situation of Goryeo, and the profound influence of the Central Plains Dynasty on them, it is not very difficult for the elites in the capital to infiltrate them.

Once the infiltration is effective, Korea's overseas trade is basically in hand.

After all, the coastline of Goryeo is still too far away from the southeast coast of Dagan, and the gang of the southeast coast can only do sea trade business, and the others are beyond their reach.

This may also be the case. Every time the Korean envoys came over, they would disembark from the southern port, and there were a lot of careful thoughts in it.

Jia Rong also plans to make a fuss this time. The boundary between the capital and Zhili is too sensitive, so go to the boundary of Liaodong. As long as there is no big commotion, it will basically not reach the capital. Today's special focus on...
