Chapter 557 The Importance of Stability

"Lord Su, I came to Shaanxi again, and the sights I saw along the way were quite different. I remember that when I came last time, I could occasionally see some refugees, but this time, I didn't see them at all. I also heard that Well, from the Mongolian tribes, Sichuan, Shanxi, Beizhili and Shandong, many refugees have poured into Shaanxi, and it is really not easy to think that Shaanxi can be properly resettled."

"Your Excellency praised you. These things are actually the result of the hard work of the officials in the prefectures and counties. It is said that the Hanzhong Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion and Yan'an Mansion have tried their best this time, and even let the officials take less salary. He also tried every means to resettle many refugees, and the officials are planning to report to the imperial court. Your Excellency, on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court, made a special trip to Shaanxi, which is the love and affirmation for many officials in Shaanxi."

"Your Majesty Su is really good at talking. I came to Shaanxi this time mainly to study. I think that Shaanxi has undergone such a big change. It has only been a year. Oh, it has been less than a year. It is really a miracle." Ah, after I go back, I must report to the imperial court."

Su Tiancheng accompanied Yang Sichang to patrol the outskirts of Xianyang.

Yang Sichang came to Shaanxi Province again, obviously by order. As for the specifics, Su Tiancheng didn't know yet, but Yang Sichang was Minister of the Ministry of War, and he himself received a letter from Sun Chengzong. It seems that this time Yang Sichang arrived The coming from Shaanxi may have something to do with the extermination of bandits. [

Yang Sichang came to Shaanxi very suddenly without prior notice. It was not until he entered Shaanxi that Su Tiancheng received the report from the prefectures and counties.The strange thing is that the imperial court has no decree and residence report.This is very unusual, according to his understanding, the emperor does not want to reveal this news.

After Yang Sichang arrived in Shaanxi, his request was also very clear. He asked Su Tiancheng to accompany him, focusing on Ningxia Wei, Yulin Wei, Yan'an Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Hanzhong Mansion, Pingliang Mansion and other places. Come on, it is easy to think of Jiangning Camp.However, Yang Sichang did not look at the situation of the Jiangning camp at all. After arriving at Ningxia Wei and Yulin Wei, he went to see the situation of the new army. Wei set up the yamen and changed the previous state.Set up Ningxia Mansion and Yulin Mansion, but to make such a change, the Mongolian tribes still need to be completely stabilized. In addition, the new army still needs to be renamed, the same as the Jiangning Camp, whether it should be changed to Yulin Camp.The meaning is also very clear, specifically responsible for guarding the border.

Su Tiancheng did not hesitate to support such an appellation. At the beginning, he called it the New Army, but Su Tiancheng felt uncomfortable, and it meant that he should be treated extra.To put it mildly, the guards of the New Army and Daming are different.The newly established army, to put it bluntly, may not have been approved by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. If it is renamed Yulin Ying, which has exactly the same organizational system as Jiangning Ying, it will be another brave and capable army. .

Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the new army, also fully agrees with this title. It is simple and clear. The name represents the responsibility. Yulin has belonged to the frontier for many years.

Yang Sichang came to Shaanxi on behalf of the imperial court. He must have something to do. It would never be a simple look. .

Yang Sichang has always paid attention to the people's livelihood issues in Shaanxi, which attracted Su Tiancheng's attention. What does the minister of the Ministry of War care about these things? Is this crossing the line? You must know that in the imperial court, the division of labor between the six ministries is very clear. The matters of people's livelihood belong to the Ministry of Household Affairs He and the Ministry of Industry, and the rest are not allowed to intervene at will. If you really want to know the situation of the people's livelihood in Shaanxi, it is also something that the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Industry are concerned about.

After returning to Xianyang, Yang Sichang visited Xianyang City for another two days, and then Su Tiancheng accompanied him to check the situation in the suburbs of Xianyang. Because of the influence of the mutual market, the number of merchants in Xianyang City increased greatly, and the huge profits of the mutual market attracted countless people. The merchants in the Qing Dynasty, most of these merchants set up shops in Xianyang, or bought houses. Merchants are chasing profits. They understand very well that without the support of the government, don’t think about doing business well. Maybe someday, The government said that you have a problem, sealed up your shop, confiscated your assets, and you have no place to reason. Therefore, if you have a shop or real estate in Xianyang City, rely on this as a base to do a good job with the officials. relationship between.

Because of the large number of merchants gathering, the appearance of Xianyang City has completely changed. The city was overcrowded and developed towards the outskirts of the city. The land in the outskirts of the city also began to be valuable. some shops.

In addition, the governor's office supported such behavior, so the pace of building houses was accelerated.

Yang Sichang saw the changes in Xianyang City and was amazed.

When patrolling the outskirts of Xianyang, Yang Sichang only wanted to be accompanied by Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng also knew that Yang Sichang must have something important to say, but he didn't know the reason why he chose such a method instead of talking in the governor's office.

"Lord Su, I have seen a lot these days. I feel that the development of Shaanxi is very good. I remember that when Master Su was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he promised to build Shaanxi in two years. Now it seems that it will not take that long. time."

"This, I think, will take some time. Shaanxi has suffered years of war, and the people are poor and almost own everything. Looking along the way, it is difficult to see a few good houses, and there are quite a few The common people live in temporary shacks, and their life is still difficult. According to the forecast of the lower officials, it will take at least two years before the common people in Shaanxi may really reach the state of having enough food and clothing.”

"What Mr. Su said, I understand. My and Mr. Su's goals are not the same. I feel that Shaanxi more than a year ago has changed a lot compared with Shaanxi now. If I want to give an example, it is The man who does things, the master has already taught the craft, whether he can operate proficiently, earn money, and live a better life, what I am talking about is the question of learning the craft, Mr. Su said It’s the back, to live a better life, there’s actually no contradiction in that.”

"What your lord said is that the lower officials also see it this way. If Shaanxi can be stable for more than two years and develop according to the current situation, it will be able to recover soon. It's just that there can be no twists and turns in these two years. If With repetition, all previous efforts may be in vain.”

"It's reasonable. I want to ask Mr. Su, if Mr. Su leaves Shaanxi, who is suitable to take over as the governor of Shaanxi."

Su Tiancheng almost thought he heard it wrong. What did Yang Sichang mean by asking this? He had only been in Shaanxi for a year, and everything had just started. Could it be that he was about to leave Shaanxi? That's not how officials do it.

"Your Excellency, do you want to let the next officials promote talents?" [

Yang Sichang's face became serious.

"Master Su, I asked this question by order. I would like to ask Mr. Su to think carefully and answer seriously."

Combined with the letter written by Sun Chengzong, Su Tiancheng understood the meaning a little bit.

After thinking for a while, Su Tiancheng spoke calmly.

"I have thought about this issue. The prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture and His Royal Highness Zhu Shen can be the governor of Shaanxi. Zhang Pu, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, can be the governor of Shaanxi. Yan Zizhang, the magistrate of Jiangning County, can be the prefect of Henan Prefecture. .”

"Master Su, can you tell me the reason?"

"Of course the lower official wants to say that His Royal Highness Jin Wang and the lower official have a family relationship. The lower official His Royal Highness Jin Wang seems to be a bit out of order, but the lower official proceeds from the actual situation in Shaanxi. Hanzhong Mansion used to be in Shaanxi. The situation The worst part, but this year, Hanzhong Mansion has undergone the greatest changes. It can be said that no place in Shaanxi can compare to the changes in Hanzhong Mansion. His Royal Highness King Jin has spent a lot of effort and also showed With personal ability, there is no problem in governing Shaanxi, and the officials believe that His Royal Highness King Jin can also do a good job."

"As for Zhang Pu's appointment as the chief envoy of Shaanxi, the next official is mainly based on the situation in Shaanxi. The duties of the chief envoy are important. Zhang Pu manages the Henan government and has outstanding achievements. If he comes to Shaanxi and assists His Royal Highness King Jin, it will be even more important. The stability of Shaanxi can be maintained, as long as Shaanxi can be stabilized, the Mongolian tribes can be suppressed to the greatest extent, so that they dare not act rashly, and the border is also peaceful."

"Yan Zizhang became the magistrate of Henan Prefecture. The lower officials also thought that Henan Prefecture must be stable. The location of Henan Prefecture is special. It connects Shaanxi Province and Shanxi Province. Today's Henan Prefecture is the richest in Henan Province, Shaanxi Province, and Shanxi Province. This place, this place is rich and prosperous, and the three provinces have been stabilized to a large extent. Even if there are some famines in the future, the Henan government can help deal with it."

Yang Sichang nodded slightly, expressing his approval of what Su Tiancheng said.

As Su Tiancheng said these words, his heart was actually churning violently. It seemed that he was likely to leave Shaanxi. He was really reluctant to leave at this time. The foundation he had just started was going to do a lot of work. Shaanxi has become the richest province in the north, even surpassing Beizhili. Unfortunately, it seems that I don't have this opportunity.

The adjustment this time may not have been proposed by the emperor. On the contrary, it may have been proposed directly by Sun Chengzong. Now that he was in Shaanxi, the emperor was eager for such a proposal from Sun Chengzong, but it was not easy to directly propose it. As long as Yang Sichang came to Shaanxi to have a look, if the situation allowed, he would leave Shaanxi.

This may be the real reason why Yang Sichang came to Shaanxi this time and kept quiet. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m to read.
