Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"Counselor Jin, where do you think Zhou Yuji, Cao Wenzhao and the others got the batch of gold and silver they handed over?"

Chen Qiyu frowned, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the team queuing up for dinner in front of him, "The Yongwei Camp and the Shenji Camp, even if they are on the front line to fight against the rogues, relying on hard fortifications and dull battles, they will be defeated again and again. The rebellion of the narrow-flow thieves, but relying on Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and the others, it seems..."

"Governor Chen, sometimes it's rare to be confused."

Jin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed at the disaster victims and refugees in front of him, "If we really want to get to the bottom of this matter, can the problem that was placed before Governor Chen be substantively resolved?

This official also knows that Governor Chen has no sand in his eyes, and he has a righteous spirit in his heart.

But this damn world is not black and white. After Governor Chen became the governor of Shaanxi, are there still many dirty things that he has encountered? "

Chen Qiyu: "..."

Jin Sheng's words caused Chen Qiyu to remain silent, Zhou Yuji and the others dispatched men to escort the batch of gold and silver to Xi'an Mansion, although Chen Qiyu's urgent need was relieved.

However, it also aroused Chen Qiyu's vigilance.

This made Chen Qiyu subconsciously think of the fact that many gentry, merchants and other groups in various prefectures and counties in Shaanxi were brutally ransacked by thieves during the past period of turmoil and catastrophe.

Although the gentry, merchants and other groups that were looted were all doing evil and exploiting the people in their daily lives, this incident also caused quite a stir in Shaanxi.

This forced many gentry, merchants and other groups who were not robbed to actively respond to the counter-insurgency of the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, and donated money and food to support the counter-insurgency army.

"Governor Chen, how are you implementing the official letter issued by the imperial court?"

Seeing that Chen Qiyu remained silent, Jin Sheng raised his brows slightly and said, "It is said that this matter was decided by a minister in the court, but in fact it was decided by His Majesty, whether it is the matter of recruiting workers or the follow-up preparations for the establishment of government-run factories.

If it can be done well, it can indeed help the territory of Shaanxi, effectively calm the relapse of the victims and refugees, and ensure that the rebellion will never happen again. "

Chen Qiyu, Governor of Shaanxi.

Jin Sheng, counselor and minister, refers to the leader of the bandits in suppressing the rebellion.

The two, who would not have had much negotiation at first, gradually became more and more involved as the counter-rebellion incidents in Shaanxi gradually became clear.

"It's already being aggressively advanced."

Chen Qiyu lifted up the sleeves of his robe, and said seriously: "Shaanxi Disaster Relief Administration is the latest among all disaster relief administrations, but it has also learned a lot of experience.

Especially the Beizhili Disaster Relief Office, the experience and policies explored are very suitable for the land of Shaanxi.

Currently, Yan'an Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture, Hanzhong Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, and Qingyang Prefecture are actively gathering disaster victims and refugees and relocating them in specific areas.

In the prefectures and guards to the west of Shaanxi, the Yongwei Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Counter-insurgency Army, etc., assisted in the publication of notices, so that the disaster victims and refugees under the rule would gather towards the relief areas set up for the disaster victims. "

"Is there enough manpower for the Disaster Relief Administration?"

Jin Sheng said with firm eyes: "If there is a vacancy, I can refer to this side from the front, select a group of officials, and transfer them to your administrative office.

In order to solve the bandit rebellion in Shaanxi once and for all, we must try to solve the problem of food and clothing for the affected groups.

Things like straightening the roads, repairing water conservancy, and clarifying the use of work for relief, if they can really achieve results, it will definitely be able to pull out the roots of the thieves. "

"So I'm going to bother Counselor Jin."

When Chen Qiyu heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Ben Fu has been very worried about recruiting officials for the past few days. Previously, the bandit rebellion was so strong that many scholars under his rule went to Shanxi, Sichuan and other places. take refuge.

Although the current momentum of the rebellion has been suppressed by the court, there are still some things that need to be slowly promoted.

Especially during the rectification of officialdom in Shaanxi, Ben Fu never thought that there would be so many corrupt officials. Every time he thought of these, Ben Fu was very indignant. "

Chen Qiyu is a pure person. He belongs to the same kind of people as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting. He doesn't want to watch the Ming Dynasty corrupt, but wants to do something practical.

"I can understand Governor Chen's mood."

Jin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with emotion: "Daming has such a mess, to a large extent, it is caused by the corruption of officials, and if we want to solve these problems, we must try to rectify them.

In addition to the corruption in the officialdom, Governor Chen should also be able to see that there is also serious corruption in the guards set up in Shaanxi.

Governor Chen can take a look at this official letter.

His Majesty is actively promoting the adjustment of the Gyeonggi garrison in the capital city, and will abolish the established garrison. The guards in Suncheon and Yongping will also be abolished one by one. "

Ok?
Chen Qiyu frowned, took the official letter in front of him, and started to read it with a serious expression.

Seeing Chen Qiyu watching so intently, Jin Sheng didn't bother him. The reason why he provided this official letter was purely according to the emperor's secret order.

Taking advantage of the Yongwei Battalion, Shenji Battalion, and counter-insurgency army to gradually promote the suppression of rebellion and bandits in Shaanxi, we must gradually plan to abolish the guards in Shaanxi and increase the scale of official farms.

This is not an easy task.

The guard system of the Ming Dynasty has been completely rotted away, and attempts to rectify this mess have achieved little success.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had to rectify a new military system.

"Is this what His Majesty meant?"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Qiyu held the memorandum in his hand and looked at Jin Sheng with firm eyes, "If we talk about abolishing the guards in Shaanxi, even if we can effectively rectify the atmosphere in Shaanxi, we will still face new problems."

"There will indeed be new problems."

Jin Sheng said with emotion: "So Your Majesty's intention is to draw it up gradually, using the model as a means of promotion, and gradually dismantle the corresponding guards.

The official has been thinking these days, if the guards under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Mansion can be abolished first, and a new army is created to control the area, then the follow-up situation will be opened.

Areas adjacent to the frontier can be done at the end, and the internal problems should be clarified first. Even if there are some problems in the future, there is still room for mediation. "

"This matter has a lot to do with it, and I need to think about it carefully."

Chen Qiyu pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "If we really want to do it, then we need the support of Counselor Jin, especially in the area of ​​food and salary. After all, the abolition of post stations back then caused harm to the territory of Shanshan and Shaanxi, which is obvious to all.

It is not an easy task to abolish the guards in Shaanxi. Compared with those guards, the root cause of the problem is the low-level military households. Only by appeasing them and relocating them can this matter be effectively promoted. stand up. "
