Ming politicians

() Yixing County Zhoufu.

Zhou Kang has already returned, and at this moment, he is in the study, reporting everything to Zhou Yanru in detail, including the changes in Jiangning County, his own understanding, and so on.

Zhou Yanru listened very carefully, with a serious expression, and never interrupted.

It is indeed rare for such a situation to occur. When Zhou Yanru is thinking about a problem, or when he is about to make a major decision, such an expression will appear on his face. Seeing such a situation, Zhou Kang knows that his master, I must have thought of a lot of things, and it is estimated that I have to make some decisions.

Just after Zhou Kang finished his report, Zhou Yanru spoke.

"Zhou Kang, Su Tiancheng didn't keep you for dinner, do you have any ideas?"

"Master, I don't have any ideas. I think Su Tiancheng's handling is very appropriate."

"Well, it seems that your acquaintance is still very good. Su Tiancheng received you warmly, and it is very meaningful to say this evil. It seems that I still haven't paid special attention to Su Tiancheng. Given time, Su Tiancheng is bound to To be able to move my name, Daming, neither Wen Tiren nor I can compare to him."

"My lord, why do you say that?"

"Think about it, how old Su Tiancheng was, and when he was a weak crown, he chose to go outside, which is already extraordinary. Not to mention the achievements he has made, just look at the situation in Jiangning County, you can know, He has both civil and military skills, and when dealing with many matters in the officialdom, he has his own understanding, this is the first time I have met such a hero."

Zhou Kang nodded.He followed Zhou Yanru and met too many officials.I also have such an idea in my heart.

"Zhou Kang, thank you for your hard work. Go to the stable immediately and find Chen Yutai. Chen Yutai stays in the stable and has no future. If I predict correctly, he will be pushed out soon. He may even resign from his official position. To be honest, Chen Yutai's ability is far inferior to Su Tiancheng's, it was not wise to make him the No. [-] scholar at the beginning, but the situation is already like this. We can only find a way to remedy it."

Zhou Kang nodded again. He had thought of this question at the beginning. In the imperial court, Chen Yutai had always relied on his master closely. Now, his master has resigned and returned.It is impossible for Chen Yutai to be in a good situation.

"Chen Yutai's ability is still there. During the one year in the Imperial Academy, he learned a lot, but his vision is a bit high, which does not conform to the actual situation. In addition, the emperor has great expectations for him, but in reality, Chen Yutai did not do it. All the achievements and all the brilliance have been covered up by Su Tiancheng. Wen Tiren has become the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he must be cleaned up. Some officials are good at adapting to the wind, but Chen Yutai can't, he can't do this Do, so, his future is basically gone, you go to the stables immediately, find Chen Yutai, ask him to request release immediately, and directly ask to go to Yingtian Mansion, preferably Jiangning County, even if he is the county magistrate OK."

"My lord, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to do this. Mr. Chen is the number one scholar in the palace examination. When he arrives in Jiangning County, he will be the magistrate of the seventh rank. If word spreads, he may be laughed at by others."

"Oh, why do you have such an opinion? This is not a joke. Chen Yutai will definitely learn a lot from following Su Tiancheng, and he will also take this opportunity to polish his character. If not, according to his current personality He must be reprimanded and go home. Don't think about being able to do things for the rest of his life. Compared with the current experience and the future, what kind of grievance is this?"

"Master, I'm worried, Mr. Chen may not have such an understanding."

"I know this. I have already written a letter. After you find Chen Yutai, give it to him directly and ask him to read it carefully. At the same time, you should talk to him more. You have seen many things and know what to do. How do you say it?"

After Zhou Kang received the letter, Zhou Yanru spoke again.

"Be patient and convince Chen Yutai that this is the best opportunity. Su Tiancheng has already recommended Lu Tianming, the magistrate of Jiangning County. According to my understanding, Lu Tianming is likely to enter the sixth department directly. If this opportunity is missed, the future It’s hard to say.”

Jiang is old and hot, and Zhou Yanru's considerations are far-reaching. Arranging Chen Yutai by Su Tiancheng's side means to keep his strength. Su Tiancheng will be promoted sooner or later. According to Chen Yutai's identity, the next One step is to take over as the magistrate of Jiangning County. In such a place, do things patiently, even if there is no innovation, follow the road arranged by Su Tiancheng, develop step by step, enter the stable again, and take up important positions. The time is just around the corner .

Zhou Kang understands these truths. It is the most sensible choice to retreat to advance and find the best way to lay a solid foundation for future development when he is in a disadvantageous situation.Therefore, his task is very heavy. Chen Yutai is the number one scholar in the imperial examination. It is unimaginable for the Hanlin Academy to go from the compilation of the sixth rank to Jiangning County to be the county magistrate of the seventh rank. It's not easy.

Su Tiancheng was also thinking about it.

The development of Jiangning County has already embarked on a healthy development track, but don't think that if Jiangning County develops, you will be considered a success, and you can copy the experience here to other places. This will definitely not work .

The situation in Jiangning County is special. This is Gyeonggi County. In the past, the stables of the Ming Dynasty were full of merchants, and the economic foundation was very good. Therefore, if you do things in such a place, as long as the direction is correct, you will get twice the result with half the effort. But in other places It is not necessarily the case for localities. For example, in the vast areas of the north, it is definitely not possible to use this method to develop the economy.

Economic development has its own laws, and the key is to combine it with the actual local conditions.

Besides, the Ming Dynasty is in dire straits and faces too many problems. It must be fundamentally changed, but this kind of change is earth-shattering. The reform will inevitably involve the interests of the bureaucratic gentry group, and it will definitely trigger their rebound. , In the case of internal and external troubles, such actions must not be possible.

Therefore, there is only one path of development, and that is military politics, that is, vigorously develop an invincible army, quell internal and external riots, wipe out bandits, and wipe out Houjin. After the situation is slightly stabilized, Let's think of a way to deal with Daming's bureaucratic group.

To achieve this is not an easy matter, you must have a group of strong supporters by your side, and these people must also have very good abilities.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was controlled by the literati group, so it is still necessary to unite some literati to form a completely different literati group. These literati can be distributed in various provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and they also have a certain right to speak in the stables.

To achieve this step, easier said than done.

Su Tiancheng himself is only the magistrate of the sixth grade, and he has no right to speak in the stables. Jiangning County is too small, and it is difficult to recommend officials. So far, he has only recommended Lu Tianming and Sun Chuanting. People, there will be new positions soon. As for Xiong Ziyan and Deng Hui who are staying in the stables, they still need to dormant. It is impossible for the two helpless people to get to important positions. Deng Hui still needs to participate in the examination. , the pace of development is slower.

Liu Zhongji next to him is pretty good, but he also needs to take part in the township examination, general examination and palace examination to seek a real background, otherwise, he can only mix at the grassroots level, at most he can be a county magistrate, which is against the sky.

He once thought of Donglin Academy.

Through Liu Yunqing, to change Donglin Academy, so that the students of Donglin Academy can develop according to their own ideas, this can become a very important force, but judging from the current situation, this is not a short-term thing, it will take such a long time In the past, Liu Yunqing's influence was limited. If it weren't for the debate between himself and Huang Daozhou, I believe that Donglin Academy has never had a student take the initiative to come to the county government to do things.

The Jiangning County staff group is already the base for Su Tiancheng to reserve talents. There are more than 40 people under Liu Yunqing's subordinates. Most of these people are students of Donglin Academy. The relationship with Liu Yunqing is very close on weekdays. Yes, through many contacts and debates, these people's thinking has undergone some slight changes, and the changes in Jiangning County are indeed great. These people have left Donglin Academy when they came to Jiangning County's county government.

Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin Academy, originally had his own way of writing, but Huang Daozhou supported this approach, thinking that Su Tiancheng's knowledge was unusual, and that the students of Donglin Academy could make their own choices. Fan Jingwen was not a member of Donglin Party or Fushe, but also supported Su Tiancheng.

If it was a peaceful age, it would be possible to follow this development trend. After a few years, it would develop slowly, and the water will wear away. But in the late Ming Dynasty, Su Tiancheng didn't have so much time. If he couldn't do something quickly , I am afraid that before he could use his hands and feet, the Ming Dynasty had already crashed to the ground.

Therefore, it is the most convenient way to unite classmates and win their support.

Su Tiancheng will not think about the officials in the imperial court for the time being. Most of these officials are people who follow the wind and use the rudder. , taking pride in impeaching officials, even disregarding the overall situation of development, and having limited knowledge, trivial matters have to be debated for a long time.

Su Tiancheng would never have thought that his thoughts coincided with some of Zhou Yanru's thoughts.

Later developments also proved that Zhou Yanru was not an idiot, he did have certain knowledge, and he was dedicated to the court. As for personal ability, that is another topic. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
