10.22 Civil servants going south and recent situation in Jiangnan

At the same time period, in the back house of the Jinling governor's office, in the large garden greenhouse, although the chilly spring cold outside still had remnants, the chill had long since disappeared inside the greenhouse, and it was even hot and dry.

A small table for two people, four side dishes with wine, a pot of Shaoxing rice wine, two sets of bowls, chopsticks, cups and saucers, Lin Ruhai and Han Chu, the left servant of the Ministry of War, sat opposite each other, but neither of them was interested in eating or drinking, and even their expressions were a little dignified .

"Ruhai, are you really going to continue?" After some meaningless scenes, Han Chuxian finally couldn't help it, "The general trend of the world, since ancient times, is that generals will conquer the world. We will rule the world. Now the Dashun Dynasty has been established for a hundred years. It should be our stage.

This is indeed the case, although the older generation of this group of martial arts is still there, but almost all of them have no successors, and even the ones sitting in the seats are already rotten, until this Wei Xu was born."

Back then, Lin Ruhai tried Hua in high school as a child of Wu Xun, and his level is naturally beyond doubt. Although because of his background, the Jinshi masters of the same year generally had little friendship with him, but it was not completely absent. Han Chu was one of the few who had a good relationship. example.

"Brother Xianyun, I didn't think much of it at first." Even if Lin Ruhai faced his friends, he couldn't say that he changed his direction because he was disappointed with Yongzheng. That's all.

No matter what your majesty thinks about Wu Xun's lineage, they are indispensable for court affairs. Pingyuan Hou Tianzong is a genius, and he has the way of a sage with a heart. I think no matter what, your majesty will always need it. This is a step ahead.

But I never thought that His Majesty would... That's all, you already have such a status in the court, aren't you satisfied?Do you really want to continue to create a "Zong Zheng Ying Chao"? "

"This." Han Chu showed embarrassment. He and Lin Ruhai had a close friendship, but it was impossible to talk about everything. In fact, the concept of civil servants has never changed. He was born in Wu Xun, so there are some things he can't say.

"So, you really want to continue like this?" Lin Ruhai was still filled with emotion even though he had already guessed and heard Wei Xu's analysis, "It seems that Marquis Pingyuan's guess was right. Your handwriting?"

"Ruhai, why are you like this?" Han Chu didn't answer Lin Ruhai's question, and he couldn't answer it. Since the pursuit?
Although those warriors are indeed indispensable, there is no need for them to dictate the government, right?What's more, since the rise of Wei Xu, they are no longer a matter of talking, but are becoming more and more dissatisfied with their current power. "

"But before the civil unrest, did you never think that the war can only be settled by military generals?" Lin Ruhai couldn't understand their way of thinking at all, "Have you all forgotten the old things about Taizong and Gaozong?"

"The military generals in the Ming Dynasty also needed to fight, but they couldn't shake the position of civil servants." Han Chu said flatly, "What about Qi Shaobao, who has been famous for a hundred years? Why don't he still call himself a 'running dog' in front of Zhang Juzheng, so as not to let that If you see it clearly, how can you rest assured that I will do what I have learned?"

"Yeah, I really let him see clearly!" Lin Ruhai's unabashed sarcasm embarrassed Han Chu, "Now all the knowledgeable people in the world can see that war can only rely on martial arts, and civil servants are no!

That's all, but now there is Marquis Pingyuan, at his age, I'm afraid he will be able to overwhelm you in 50 years. Jiangnan was originally the foundation of martial arts, and we have taken back a considerable part of it in the past [-] years. , Now it's been just over two years, and all of them have been returned. "

"Ruhai, is it possible that you are also afraid?" Han Chu's expression was a little excited, "Don't forget, you are now the governor of Jiangnan, and you are also a famous feudal official in the world. Why don't you show what you have learned? You forgot when you were young dream?"

"These days, you wander around the south of the Yangtze River. You must have seen a lot of the situation here, right?" Lin Ruhai didn't answer the conversation, and talked about other things, "What do you think of these situations?"

"Although the war has just gone through, the entire Jiangnan can be said to live and work in peace and contentment." Han Chu said with admiration, "It seems that Ruhai's ability has finally been used, and it has gradually returned to normal here.

It's just that, in this place in the south of the Yangtze River, does one place too much emphasis on strange skills and obscene ingenuity?But in all the big cities along the coast, workshops or craftsmen's houses are indispensable, and many of them have big scenes. It's just these, why doesn't the court have any news? "

"Do you know? In fact, none of this has much to do with me." Lin Ruhai sighed and told the truth, "You must have seen that most of the government offices in the south of the Yangtze River have already become decorations, and there are others who are really in charge of government affairs. personnel."

"Hmph!" Han Chu was very angry when he said this. "Does Wei Xu want to rebel? He actually established separate government offices in most places, and the few that are still running have become his people. This is simply rebellious!" "You guys! Do you know now?" This time it was Lin Ruhai's turn to be stunned, and then she shook her head helplessly when she saw Han Chu's embarrassed expression, "Your little tricks turned the whole Jiangnan upside down, but unfortunately the result was not what you wanted.

I don't know why, but I can't understand Ping Yuanhou's love for the common people. This does not hinder his approach. Even when the chaos is being suppressed, he tries to reduce the casualties of the common people as much as possible.

But he never cared about the gentry, officials and people, whether it was a siege, a field battle, or even a march, he never cared about the local nobles and gentry. Even sources of information are blocked to such an extent. "

"Huh!" Speaking of this, Han Chu was extremely annoyed. Before he came, he arranged the route according to the distribution of civil servants in the Jiangnan area before the war. He originally wanted to reorganize the route, but found that most of the "nodes" had become ruins. .

"Nowadays there are very few gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the land properties are arranged by Pingyuan Hou to the local people in the name of 'restoring people's livelihood'. Go back to the property." Lin Ruhai said with a sigh.

"It's really shameless!" Han Chu was extremely annoyed by this. "Many gentry, officials and people have been killed. How can they recover the land property? This world is originally ruled by the heavenly family and the scholar-bureaucrats. Isn't he afraid that he will end up in this way?"

"You have already made arrangements, right?" Lin Ruhai said indifferently, "But I never thought that the war in northern Jiangxi is still raging, and the south of the Yangtze River is just next door. How important is the stability here? You just want to move him, and you can move him." ?"

"This..." Han Chu's expression was awkward, "Wang Shangshu also doesn't agree to do it now, it's just that Li Shangshu is dedicated to activities and has the support of Mr. Shen. That's why... But I don't agree either."

"It doesn't matter, you only remember that he is Wuhou of the country, but have you forgotten that he is also Jiangnan Jieyuan?" Lin Ruhai was helpless by their coquettish operation, "If he is just a scholar, it doesn't really matter, but Jiangnan Jieyuan needs it , not just a few Four Books and Five Classics!
Don't forget, the township examination also has policy theory, so that the examiners can clearly know his identity, and even give Xie Yuan fame. You have never thought about it, read his articles and policy theory back then, at least you know your opponent!

If there are no accidents, your so-called 'action' may have failed now, and it will definitely be accompanied by serious embarrassment. Even His Majesty may lose serious points! "

"Ruhai, have you really decided?" Seeing that he couldn't convince Han Chu, he went straight to the point, "You are now the governor of Jiangnan, and you can decide the administrative affairs of Jiangnan with one word. The next step will be a matter of etiquette." Why do you have to rely on others so much?"

"Brother Xianyun, have you only seen the surface, but haven't noticed the situation in Jiangnan?" Lin Ruhai looked at this friend with a complicated expression, "Although I am the governor of the imperial court, I have no control over the prefectures and counties below. , just management.

You know, when I first took up this position, I didn't actually take the Jiangnan officials seriously, but the first time I wrote the regulations, I understood that they were not from the imperial court at all.

Generally speaking, official documents of the imperial court will definitely be discounted when they arrive at the place, but with them, there is no such thing!As long as there are no obviously wrong administrative orders, they will implement them within three days, and within half a month! "

"It's impossible!" Han Chu's expression changed suddenly, "It's just that the government is willing. Many times, local affairs cannot be resolved with a single word from the government, and the local gentry is needed."

"Understood?" Seeing Han Chu who was suddenly stuck, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it, but he continued to stab the knife, because he was like that at the beginning, "Your 'methods' almost emptied the local gentry, and basically cleared the obstacles.

There is another point that you must have discovered. The Jiangnan Army has a garrison of [-] households in each county. When any government action encounters local resistance and it is confirmed that someone is making trouble, the army will directly clear up the trouble.

What about the Zhen family, the largest local power in the Jiangnan region?Not only them, but now even the salt merchants have been wiped out, how many people in the court have suffered losses?But Ping Yuanhou didn't care at all, and he didn't need to care! "

"Yes, with these [-] elite soldiers, who should he care about?" Han Chu said with a wry smile.
