Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 332
Zhu Youjian is very satisfied with Chen Qiyu's work style.

Most civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are proud of being honest and practical, and ashamed of going down to the front line in person. An important minister like Chen Qiyu with the title of a bachelor can go to the scene to investigate and search in person without hesitation. This is an extremely rare and pragmatic style. The most capable ministers and talents that Ming Dynasty needed most.

Since the large-scale transfer of disaster victims began, many officials like Chen Qiyu have emerged. No matter what motive they make such a change, as long as they really do it, they must get what they deserve. Rewards and promotions.

"My lord, after the completion of the two projects in the capital, there will be many experienced and skilled laborers emerging from them. I think that if there is no corresponding succession, these migrant workers will be full of hope. It is a pity to think about it. On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, there are many people who need this skill, but due to the limitation of human, financial and material resources, it is impossible to carry out such similar projects. I suggest that after the completion of the capital project, from it Select qualified people, and the government will come forward to form a construction team imitating the well-drilling system in Huangzhuang, and carry out construction in places with rich financial and material resources, so as to solve the chronic problems of waterlogging and silted ditches in various prefectures and counties. The appearance of the town has been greatly improved! The above is just my humble opinion, I hope my emperor will make a decision after considering it!"

Chen Qiyu analyzed the emperor's governance in recent years from various aspects, and finally came to a conclusion: this emperor may be the emperor who cares most about people's livelihood and likes to do infrastructure construction in all dynasties.

Since the stability of the territory in the ninth year of Chongzhen, whether it is immigration or exempting the northern provinces from taxes for three years, reducing rents for tenant farmers in Huangzhuang, plus the abolition of Jinhuayin, digging wells and repairing canals in various places at their own expense, etc. It proves it.

Now that you know what the emperor likes, why don't you, as a courtier, do what you like?Putting the people first is also advocated by the sages. No matter from the perspective of righteousness or loyalty to the emperor, it is the top priority of herdsmen officials. If you want the holy family to last for a long time, you should start from this aspect is the best policy.

His above remarks had been planned a long time ago, and he was planning to raise them with the emperor before the project was completed. Unexpectedly, the emperor asked about the progress of the project today, which just gave him a chance to show his face in front of the important ministers.Chen Qiyu believes that his proposal will definitely be highly appreciated by the emperor, and will add a very important weight to his future career.

Chen Qiyu did not guess wrong. This practical suggestion made Zhu Youjian's favorability towards him rise in a straight line, and he was immediately promoted to the top few, approaching Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng in front.

"Chen Qing's suggestion is very reasonable! You can send people to do some investigation among these thousands of people. One is to record the identities of skilled workers; the other is to ask them if they are willing to participate in construction elsewhere; He is away all the year round and delays the farming or family affairs at home. This point must be ordered. Skills, willingness, and labor at home are indispensable. You need to manage your fullness. With such a heavy consumption, the meat must be released every three days, which is calculated as three taels per person. The consumption is huge, and the nutrients cannot keep up. It is easy to cause premature aging and serious diseases. Chen Qing must remember, remember Later, when Qing returned to the Yamen, he will report the matter in detail in this newspaper. After the details are correct, after the completion of the project, a construction team will be built, and the trial will be carried out in the prefectures and counties around Gyeonggi! The money and grain will be separated from Taicang Half of the burden, I will send Jin Yi to investigate secretly, so as not to profit from the greedy and despicable people!"

Hearing that the emperor actually asked Chen Qiyu to provide these migrant workers with meat every three days, most of the courtiers showed disapproving expressions.

In their eyes, these farmers are hired by the government, and they should be content to have an extra income to subsidize their families during the slack season. Besides, it is the kindness of the emperor to take care of two meals. Eating meat once a day is not even comparable to some well-to-do families in the countryside. Isn't this a bit too much?

Chen Qiyu accepted the order calmly, but she was very proud of herself.Showing a big face in front of the emperor today will be extremely beneficial to ranking high after being promoted to cabinet minister in the future.

As for such trivial matters as feeding meat to migrant workers, Chen Qiyu didn't have much resistance in his heart.In the past two years, with the increase in the number of times he directly contacted the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, his intuitive understanding of the suffering of the people was far better than before, and the contempt for the grassroots in his heart had also changed a lot.Being able to use the power in his hands to seek some benefits for the lowest class is no longer something that Chen Qiyu is conflicted with.

"In the past two years, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs have contributed a lot to the resettlement of the victims. Fan Qing and Hou Qing have also worked very hard. I take all this seriously. I have always advocated that those who have done wrong must be punished. , The principle of rewards for meritorious deeds, in view of the hard work of the two lovers for two years, I am determined, this time, Fan Qing and Hou Qing will be awarded the title of Dongge University Bachelor according to their merits! I hope that the two lovers will guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Be more diligent and diligent in official affairs, so that you can do more and more fulfilling tasks in the future!"

Zhu Youjian then threw out a big news casually.

Last year, Zhu Youjian had decreed that the titles of the Bachelors of the Two Pavilions would be promoted to the First Rank, and the Bachelors of the Three Palaces would be promoted to the First Rank.This move has changed the embarrassing situation of cabinet bachelors with low ranks for many years, and also made second-rank ministers have greater desire for the post of cabinet ministers.

After being taken aback for a moment, Fan Jingwen and Hou Xun were overjoyed.In the absence of any news in advance, such great good news fell from the sky. Could it be that God opened his eyes?To get the approval of the emperor today, my hard work in the past two years has not been in vain. The honorary title of Dongge University Bachelor can be said to be the best compliment for me.

Under the gazes of the rest of the important officials in the hall full of complex expressions, the two important officials stood up and bowed down to Xie En.

Both Hou Xun and Fan Jingwen were around fifty years old. After obtaining the title of bachelor, they all met the conditions for joining the cabinet in terms of qualifications, age, and ability. Wei Shangshu felt the pressure.

Especially Yang Sichang, who thought joining the cabinet was a sure thing. These two people had never been in his calculations, but today they suddenly became the most realistic threat to him, which caught him off guard.

Because the Ministry of Housing and the Ministry of Industry have always been the departments with the most errands and the most tiring, but also the most mistakes.Especially the Ministry of Household Affairs, although it is a very important department of the imperial court, there are very few ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs who were finally admitted to the cabinet. Many of them were convicted and returned home while in office.

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly promoted the two to remarkable positions without warning, which made Yang Sichang feel extremely disappointed.

Of course Zhu Youjian could understand Yang Sichang's loss.Although he attached great importance to Yang Sichang's talent, for the current Daming, money, food and construction were the top priorities.After all, Yang Sichang returned to the official position not long ago, and he did not make outstanding contributions, so this promotion was not included in Zhu Youjian's consideration.

Most of the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry were sent to the front line to resettle the victims, and they made great efforts for this.Although this is mainly driven by profit, it is undeniable that they have indeed made some real political achievements, which can be seen from the fact that no major mistakes have been made in the resettlement of disaster victims.

In addition, Jin Yiwei and Yushi's monthly reports on related situations also have a more detailed description of the outstanding people and events, all of which have laid a solid foundation for the promotion of Fan and Hou.

"Shaanxi Sun Qing has led his troops to Beijing to prepare for the next year's battle with Jianzhou, but the position of governor of Shaanxi cannot be left vacant for long. Wu Ganzhong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, is quite talented and has a good reputation as an official. Today, he is specially promoted to Shaanxi The position of governor should be assumed immediately after handing over to Sun Qing, without delay!"

Zhu Youjian released the next important personnel appointment and dismissal news.

Wu Ganzhong had a close personal relationship with Sun Chuanting, which was known by many courtiers. In Zhu Youjian's eyes, being able to become a close friend with Sun Chuanting must have something extraordinary, otherwise, with Sun Chuanting's proud temperament, ordinary people would not even bother with him. contacts.

Now Shaanxi Province is very stable, and the resettlement of the victims is going smoothly. As long as the successors do not act capriciously, but follow the existing effective strategies, then within a few years, Shaanxi will see great prosperity. situation.

From this point of view, Wu Ganzhong should be the most suitable candidate for governor of Shaanxi.At least on the issue of handover and continuation, the two will definitely have a corresponding tacit understanding. I believe that Sun Chuanting will come up with the most feasible policy strategy for this close friend, so as to avoid the officialdom's disadvantages of death.

As for the current Shaanxi chief envoy Zhu Yongyou, Zhu Youjian had never considered him at all. This person is a typical bureaucrat, the kind who dawdles.This person has not made any outstanding political achievements during Sun Chuanting's rule of Shaanxi for more than two years, and Sun Chuanting also has a very low opinion of him. This kind of person who is a vegetarian will be replaced sooner or later.

　Thanks to book friends KingOfBlade and book friends Lin Lingsu 2018 for their rewards.In order not to break the rules, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui may have to finish it hastily. Besides, most people don’t have a good impression of them. I was quite contradictory when I wrote about them. I can't guarantee the late festival, I can only objectively state what they are in history.
