Ming politicians

() For the next period of time, Su Tiancheng will not have time to take a rest. Although many officials are still celebrating the Spring Festival, and this year's Lantern Festival, the county government has already planned to celebrate it. Many preparations have to be done It was Lu Tianming and Liu Zhongji who were busy.

Seeing Lu Tianming's busy appearance, Su Tiancheng even had doubts about whether Lu Tianming had been adjusted, ordinarily the officials who were supposed to be adjusted would not work so diligently, they could just wait for the imperial decree.

The adjustment of the officials of the Ming Dynasty is not so confidential. The news about the adjustment of Jiangning County officials has already spread. For this reason, Sun Chengzong and others specifically asked Su Tiancheng. They were mainly worried about whether the imperial court adjusted Jiangning County. The magistrate, if Su Tiancheng suddenly changes and is transferred to the stables, many things should not be handled.

Su Tiancheng knew that he would not move for the time being. After all, there were still many things in Jiangning County that could not be separated from him. There are more and more scholars and scholars in the academy, including many gentry households in Jiangning County, and some gentry from Shangyuan, all of them have come in, and the influence of Jiangning Academy has also gone out, even though it is the first month, even though it is the Spring Festival , but people come to visit every day.

Su Tiancheng firmly remembered Qin Sande's hint. This actually reminded him that it is impossible to do many things step by step. There must be a breakthrough development, especially for Jiang Ning. In terms of the coldness of the camp and the raising of money, it is necessary to break the routine.

The raids of the rogues continued as usual, which Su Tiancheng did not expect.It is said that the Jiangning camp has wiped out Zijinliang and Laohuihui to a large extent.The arrogance of the rogues has been hit, but the rogues are still active, and they have penetrated into the Huguang area. That is to say, in the past, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan were the main activities of the rogues. Now, the rogues have begun to develop outward.If nothing else, the bandits will go deep into Sichuan.

The seventh year of Chongzhen was a relatively tragic year, and many major events happened, the most important of which were the rampant rogues and the invasion of Houjin, coupled with the drought in the north.Countless common people joined the ranks of bandits one after another because they had no food to eat. As a result, incidents continued to happen all over the Ming Dynasty, and the court was exhausted.

Great test.Coming soon.

During the < Festival, almost everyone is busy preparing for the Lantern Festival.This time during the Lantern Festival, the county government specially allocated 1 taels of silver.Prepare well, and many merchants also pay money, thinking about celebrating well.

The three halls of the county government.

Seeing Lu Tianming who was still sweating on his face, Su Tiancheng was speechless for a moment.

Lu Tianming is indeed very good. If it wasn't for his personality problems, Su Tiancheng would have suggested that he stay in Jiangning County and take over as the magistrate of Jiangning County after he left. Unfortunately, Lu Tianming's personality is mostly weak , If it is in such a critical place as Jiangning County, it may not be able to withstand so much pressure.

"Master Lu, these days have been hard work."

"My lord, I'm almost ready for the Lantern Festival. This year's Lantern Festival will definitely attract a lot of people. I have already arranged some yamen servants to go to the counties under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Mansion to promote the Lantern Festival. It starts on the 24th day of the first month and lasts until the [-]th of the first month." During the festival, these people came to Jiangning County, and they must spend a lot of money, presumably those merchants are very happy. "

"That's right, Wan Chenggui organized a lot of merchants and took out 2 taels of silver, saying that it was to make the momentum of the Lantern Festival even bigger. The officials thought it was okay." <During the festival, you Or take more rest. "

Lu Tianming looked at Su Tiancheng, smiled, and said a word unexpectedly.

"Your Excellency may have thought that the officials are already leaving Jiangning County, why are they still working so hard?"

Su Tiancheng nodded and did not speak. There is no need to hide this matter.

"Xiaguan really knew that he was going to leave Jiangning County. If it was in the past, he would go to the stables, enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and become a supervisory censor. That would be a dream. But now, Xiaguan is a little reluctant to leave. The subordinate knows that this is the favor of the adults. According to the qualifications of the officials, it is considered very good to be able to serve as magistrates in other counties. Don't think that those who can enter the stables will be rewarded by the adults for the rest of their lives. Keep in mind."

"Lord Lu, don't say that, you have won all this by yourself."

"I don't think so. I have been in Jiangning County for six years. In the past two years, Jiangning County has undergone tremendous changes. This is something that no magistrate in the past could do. My lord's thoughts are far-reaching. , Xiaguan can't guess, but Xiaguan believes in the facts, and I have learned too much from the adults."

"Master Lu said so, and I'm not polite. Since you have been in Jiangning County for so long, then tell me what problems still exist in Jiangning County, and what should you pay attention to in the future."

"Xiaguan has been in the officialdom for many years, and has a lot of experience. I feel that the adults are decisive in doing things, and the results of everything are very good. The adults think far-reaching, and the thinking of the officials, some can't keep up. The next official can only speak openly and honestly according to his own understanding."

"Three of us, there must be my teacher, Master Lu just say it."

"Other aspects, I can't say anything about it. There are two things that I am worried about. The first is the matter of gentry and rich households. The purpose of my lord can only be summed up in one sentence, that is, the officials and the gentry pay the food together. , This is the slogan put forward by the rogues. In fact, the lower officials also agree. The people are already poor and cannot pay food. If the rich officials and gentry do not pay food or bear taxes because of the favor of the court, it is really difficult for the court to maintain , but what your lord has done can easily make the officials in the imperial court jealous, and it must have touched their interests. The lower officials think that your lord still has to worry about this matter."

"The second is about the Jiangning battalion. I don't need to talk about the bravery of the Jiangning battalion. However, the treatment of the Jiangning battalion is really enviable. If you don't talk about it, let's talk about the two battalions. Many sergeants are There was a lot of discussion, they were not convinced, but they had no place to vent. The officials were worried that if there was any trouble, they would make trouble. The officials had heard from the adults that after the first month, the Jiangning camp was going to recruit another [-] soldiers. The news has already spread, and according to the officials, quite a few sergeants from the two battalions are gearing up to enter the Jiangning battalion."

"If some sergeants from the two battalions really entered the Jiangning camp, there must be a lot of trouble. There must be a lot of fluctuations in the court. It is estimated that many adults will impeach Jiangning County, and even The direct impeachment of Mr. Fan Jingwen, if such a situation occurs, will definitely cause fluctuations in the Jiangning camp."

“下官认真算过了,江宁营普通的军士,每月的军饷就是五两银子,3万人每月就是15万两银子,加上军官的开销,每月接近17万两银子了,一年下来,需要200多万两的银子,加上江宁营ri常的开销,每年至少需要250万两白银,这是一笔巨大的开销,要维系下来,不简单的。”

"Your Excellency controls the Jiangning Camp, and the officials believe that they will be able to raise so much silver, but if other people control it, they may not be able to do it. It is impossible to rely on the court. If they do that, it may really cause big things. "

"The lower official thinks that the adults should focus on the Jiangning camp, maintaining the Jiangning camp, harassed by bandits, and invaded by the late gold. The imperial court will not leave such a powerful army for a long time. The responsibility of the Jiangning camp is very heavy. Your lord's spirit is limited after all, it is impossible to cover everything, and it is also difficult for others to truly control the Jiangning camp."

After Lu Tianming finished speaking, Su Tiancheng stood up and bowed to Lu Tianming.

"Thank you Lord Lu for your heartfelt words. These things are exactly what I am worried about. Don't make any twists and turns, otherwise the consequences will be very troublesome."

Lu Tianming also stood up and returned the salute.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite. Although the official said that he is leaving Jiangning County, he has always remembered the affairs of Jiangning County. What he admires the most is the establishment of the Zhongxing Academy. The official finally understands that the Zhongxing Academy The role is too important. If the current trend is followed, it will not take long for the Zhongxing Academy to unify the scholars in the south. By that time, many things for adults will be much easier to handle. After all, it is impossible for gentry and wealthy households to It is against the scholars of the world."

Su Tiancheng was very surprised. For a long time, he thought that Lu Tianming was doing things in a down-to-earth manner. He didn't pay attention to the things around him, and he didn't know how to analyze many things. Unexpectedly, he was wrong. Lu Tianming was always paying attention. All things Jiangning County.

At this time, Su Tiancheng felt that he had made a mistake. It might be a mistake to let Lu Tianming go. However, he could not delay Lu Tianming's future for the sake of the development of Jiangning County. Besides, Lu Tianming Tianming went to the stables, and he also gained a full supporter.

"Okay, I'm relieved that Mr. Lu can look at the Zhongxing Academy like this. To be honest, the two main things in Jiangning County this year are the first is the Jiangning camp, and the second is the Zhongxing Academy. After these two things are done, the following things will be much easier to handle, I still have some regrets, if Mr. Lu stays in Jiangning County, you and I will continue to cooperate, and Jiangning County will definitely be able to develop better."
