Ming politicians

Deng Hui, the prefect of Dengzhou, came directly to the Governor's Mansion.

The status of Dengzhou in Shandong even exceeds that of Jinan. This is also the result of Su Tiancheng and everyone's dedicated efforts to build it. The most important thing is that Weihaiwei has become the only wharf that the Ming court allows for maritime trade. Management with advanced concepts earned a lot of money, and a large number of merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty concentrated in Dengzhou, which also led to the rapid development of Dengzhou.

The focus of Su Tiancheng's development is Dengzhou, but the current situation has changed. After bringing the whole of Shandong under his command, the important role of Jinan will naturally be revealed. No matter how you say it, as the center of Shandong's political culture, Jinan Su Tiancheng's role is replaceable, and gradually, Su Tiancheng's focus will also shift to Jinan. In Su Tiancheng's heart, Dengzhou can be an economic center, but it cannot become a political center. Jinan's geographical location, As well as the connection with many places, including the habitual views of the people, there is no doubt that it should be used as a political center.

But the current situation is that Dengzhou is the central area, connecting Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and Gaizhou, and even playing a role in Liaodong, so Deng Hui is very busy.

Fortunately, I have followed Su Tiancheng for many years and stayed in the capital for a while. Without comparison, there is no identification. Deng Hui has his own understanding and feels that Su Tiancheng's ideas are very creative, and Dengzhou, Laizhou and The actual situation in Qingzhou and other places also shows that this management concept is very advanced.

Deng Hui accepted many advanced management concepts as quickly as possible, including the requirements for officials, etc. It is precisely because of this reason that Deng Hui was able to gain a firm foothold in the position of the prefect of Dengzhou.In addition, Deng Hui is also very proud.Xu Jili and Gu Xingsong, the prefects of Dengzhou, became the prefects of Yanzhou and Dongchang, which shows that he has cultivated talents.

Deng Hui of the Governor's Mansion is very familiar, I don't know how many times he has been here, but not every time he comes to find Su Tiancheng.

But this time.Deng Hui insisted on seeing Su Tiancheng and Zhu Shenxuan.

Su Tiancheng is not very busy, but Zhu Shenxuan is so busy that he is dizzy. Su Tiancheng has just issued a task to take over the Jinan, Yanzhou and Dongchang mansions. equipped above.This is the decisive factor. When the officials are well equipped, many things can go smoothly.Xu Jili, Gu Xingsong, and Su Tianhao spent time in the Governor's Mansion, discussing with Zhu Shenxun and Zhang Pu about the selection of officials, taking all aspects into consideration. [

When entering the wing.Zhu Shenxuan's tired face was too obvious compared to Su Tiancheng's.

"Deng Hui, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. His Royal Highness King Jin is very busy, and time is precious."

"My lord, His Royal Highness King Jin. The incident happened suddenly. After careful consideration, I reported it to the supervisor. The situation I said involves the stability of Dengzhou Prefecture. There were three acquaintances in Dengzhou Prefecture before, and one of them Xu Jili is in charge of agricultural production, Gu Xingsong is in charge of commerce and taxation, and Liu Chongsan is in charge of the daily management of the government. Now Xu Jili and Gu Xingsong are leaving the Terengganu government soon. Suddenly there is a shortage of manpower, I beg your lord and His Royal Highness Jin Wang to consider."

"The most important thing is the stability of officials."

When Deng Hui said these words, Su Tiancheng's expression became serious. He had heard from Qu Qingze.It has also attracted great attention, and now Deng Hui has come to report specifically, which shows that the situation is a bit serious.

Zhu Shenxuan had heard about it a little bit, but he had too many things to take care of, and he couldn't take care of it for the time being, but Deng Hui came here to report it, which also aroused his great attention.

"It's mainly Liu Chongsan's problem. The lower officials have long felt that some of Mr. Liu's understanding is not suitable, especially in terms of how to deal with the relationship with the court. When Mr. Zhang Fengyi led an army of [-] to station in Dengzhou, Mr. Liu proposed that as a local official, he should visit, but the subordinate officials did not allow it. Now that the conflict is somewhat open, Mr. Liu feels that some of the actions of the Dengzhou government are treasonous."

What Deng Hui said was very euphemistic, but the meaning was very clear.

There was a sneer on Su Tiancheng's face. The reason why he reused Liu Chongsan was mainly because of Liu Chongsan's father, Liu Erzhi. He is clean and honest, and when he first came to Dengzhou, he was faced with devastation and needed local people to help build it and unite people's hearts. As for Liu Chongsan himself, Su Tiancheng didn't have a deep impression, and Liu Chongsan didn't have much fame. It's just the status of a student. If you say that in the imperial court, it is impossible to be an official.

Qu Qingze had already mentioned this Liu Chongsan a long time ago, and he had some problems in his thinking and understanding. He was rather disdainful of the actions of the Governor's Office, and even thought that Su Tiancheng was a traitor, and his words and deeds revealed such meanings.Considering that Liu Chongsan is really conscientious in doing things, Su Tiancheng once entrusted Deng Hui to influence Liu Chongsan a lot, but it seems that the effect is not very good.

Deng Hui made this topic clear today, indicating that the situation is serious and must be dealt with.

The principle Su Tiancheng upholds is very clear. Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, and even the whole of Shandong cannot have the slightest problem, and must ensure absolute stability.

"His Royal Highness, what do you think should be done about this problem?"

The expression on Zhu Shenxuan's face was quite disdainful, he was not familiar with this Liu Chongsan, but he only knew that Liu Chongsan was a student, and such an identity was really nothing.

"In my opinion, it's easy to deal with this matter. Just remove Liu Chongsan from his official position as the prefect of Dengzhou and let him continue to be a commoner."[

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"It's not impossible to deal with it like this, but it seems too abrupt. Huang Taiji of the Houjin Dynasty can tolerate the rebellion of the Han people who surrendered. If we don't have a little tolerance, we can't justify it. I think this matter should be handed over to the court. , Dengzhou must be stable. Liu Chongsan will no longer serve as the magistrate of Dengzhou Prefecture. Deng Hui immediately wrote a memorial to recommend Liu Chongsan and let this Liu Chongsan go to the capital to become an official. Maybe after a while in the capital, he will know. incredible."

Zhu Shenxuan froze for a moment, then quickly smiled.

"Okay, okay, this method is good. If such a situation arises in the future, it can be handled in this way, unless those officials who openly rebelled must be dealt with seriously."

After Deng Hui left, only Su Tiancheng and Zhu Shenxuan were left in the wing room.

"His Royal Highness, Liu Chongsan's tendencies should cause us to attach great importance to them. Although this kind of situation is rare, once we bring the entire Shandong Province under our command, there will definitely be many such situations. , especially some scholar-officials in various parts of Shandong, their understanding will not change in a short time, and we need to spend a lot of energy to reverse it. You have to remember that if we want to stabilize the political power, we must win talents and learn to choose. Talents seem to be famous, but they can’t be used by us, so don’t be nostalgic, go out, but we don’t rush to do it, let these people go to the capital, let them experience the situation of intrigue, some talents , can be used by us, but let them have a clear attitude.”

Zhu Shenxuan nodded. In fact, Dengzhou is still in trouble, and Yang Sichang and Xu Eryi have not expressed their views yet.

"By the way, the measures we are going to take in Shandong have already been notified to Yang Sichang and Xu Eryi."

"It has already been notified. Yang Sichang didn't say anything, and Xu Eryi thought it was inappropriate to do so."

"Well, everything can't go well. Yang Sichang and Xu Eryi have too much influence. We have to do our best to fight for it. In my opinion, the problem of winning Yang Sichang is not too big. Xu Eryi has some problems. It is difficult, but the problem is not too big. I have already considered it. All prefectures and counties will start to establish schools. This kind of school is different from the imperial court. It will not focus on teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, but also teach All other knowledge and all the expenses of the school will be borne by the government."

Zhu Shenxuan's eyes widened. In fact, there are schools in all prefectures and counties. Why would Su Tiancheng talk about the establishment of schools.

Su Tiancheng saw Zhu Shenxuan's expression, and it was difficult for him to explain it. Zhu Shenxuan would not understand the reason behind it for a while, and the more he explained, the more confused Zhu Shenxuan would be.

"His Royal Highness, during this time, you have too many things to do and are very busy, but you still have to pay attention to your health. Don't worry too much about some things, just focus on the main ones."

"There's nothing wrong with me."

Deng Hui moved very quickly, and the memorial was written immediately. After the memorial was affixed with the seal of the Governor's Office, it was quickly sent to the capital, and it was directly sent to the chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru.

The memorial aroused Zhou Yanru's great attention, and there was a reaction soon. Although Liu Chongsan was said to be just a student, Zhou Yanru also said that the bold use allowed Liu Chongsan to enter the Ministry of Industry as a doctor.

When Liu Chongsan left Dengzhou, he did not show a very happy attitude. He always defended the interests of the court, and even thought that Su Tiancheng was treasonous. Faced with such a loss, what will the court do, and can it have such a good situation.

Perhaps Liu Chongsan had to think about this question for a long time, and some facts that emerged later educated him thoroughly, and gradually changed his stupid and loyal thinking.

What happened to Liu Chongsan also had a considerable impact on Yang Sichang and Xu Eryi. Seeing that Lu Shanji had already followed Su Tiancheng to do things, the two were still greatly touched, which also accelerated their decision-making. It's time. (to be continued...)
