Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

The feeling of being easily controlled and manipulated by others, but anyone with a temper is unwilling to accept this kind of humiliation, after all, this feeling is too aggrieved.

In such a special situation, in fact, there are many ambitious groups in the Ming Dynasty, but the ambitions are different, and the levels of targets are different. Facing such a complicated situation, in fact, for Emperor Chongzhen, During the period of mastering and adjusting, there will be a lot of pressure and dilemma.

But these are what Emperor Chongzhen has to bear.

The Liao land, which has not been peaceful for a long time, once again gathers the haze of war, and the Shanshan area, which is thousands of miles away, gradually walks out of the haze of the past.

At the intersection of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Mengmen Pass.

"Congratulations to Mo Chenggong for joining the cabinet again."

Chen Qiyu, the governor of Shaanxi, smiled, bowed his hands to Liu Hongxun and said, "This time I am going to Beijing to take office, I also ask Mo Chenggong to explain the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi to your majesty. In order to assist the governor of the Yellow River and rectify the river administration in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, I will fight for more. River governance Yinzi, if the upper reaches of the Yellow River in our Shanshan territory can be truly rectified, it will be a matter of immeasurable merit."

"Don't worry, Governor Chen."

Liu Hongxun was emotional, lifted his robe sleeves, and looked at the Yellow River not far away, "I will definitely tell His Majesty about this matter, and the danger of flooding the Yellow River will definitely not happen in the next 10, 20, or even longer." , appearing under the rule of Shanshan and Shaanxi, it can effectively solve the danger of flooding, and it will be considered a major event."

Change never starts from just one place.

"Yes."

"The lack of clear governance of local officials is the key to local instability. This is something His Majesty has repeatedly emphasized in the many secret decrees issued."

A large number of self-cultivating farmers under the rule of Shanshan lost the land they depended on for survival, or became tenants, or became refugees. This is why the imperial court dispatched a large number of troops after the outbreak of the bandit rebellion. The source of influence, far from decreasing, has become more and more. "

Seeing Liu Hongxun like this, Chen Qiyu comforted him and said, "We have to trust His Majesty's vision, and even more so, His decision. The changes in Shanxi Province today are all due to His Majesty's wise and powerful will.

It doesn’t matter in other periods. Anyway, some floods will not lead to rebellion. Even if there is a rebellion, it can be effectively suppressed for a powerful country, but for Ming Dynasty in the Little Ice Age, Especially during the Chongzhen Dynasty, such phenomena must be strictly eliminated, because the current Ming Dynasty can no longer withstand any waves.

If the Yongwei camp led by Zhou Yuji and the Shenji camp led by Cao Wenzhao did not go to Shaanxi to rebel according to the emperor's will, once the raging bandit forces crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, the entire Shanxi-Shanxi border would be destroyed. Will be completely pulled into the abyss, and then deal a serious blow to Daming.

"Don't worry, Mo Chenggong."

Chen Qiyu said with a serious expression: "Since the time of Tianqi, the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces has not been very good. Almost every year there have been severe disasters, such as droughts, floods, snow disasters, locust disasters, etc., which can be said to appear alternately on this land. .

Now the old man is a little worried, whether Fu Zonglong, the new governor of Shanxi, will continue to advance the various arrangements previously made after the governor of Shanxi.

Liu Hongxun said with emotion: "If you don't come to Shanxi to take up the post of governor, I really don't know that there are so many problems in Shanxi.

"Yes."

Just like the Disaster Relief Administrations of the two provinces, assisting the governor of the Yellow River to jointly rectify the upper reaches of the Yellow River, if any mistakes occur, it will cause delays in rectifying the Yellow River administration. "

Now the Shanxi Disaster Relief Administration, the previous planning and deployment, are moving forward smoothly, especially the investigation of unjust, false and wrong cases, and the detection of so many problematic cases.

Governing the river administration, rectifying the river administration, and rectifying the water conservancy is a tedious project with a long cycle and a large investment. There are many things that need to be done, and a lot of money and food need to be invested.

The core of the reform is to spread more flowers, call the right people to the right position, do the right things, ensure that the many malpractices and cancers that exist can be effectively eliminated, and ensure that the previous maladministration and cancers will not be eliminated. Will reappear in the original field.

It's like finding out about guards in various places.

There are so many acts of using power for personal gain, favoritism and fraud, and bullying the superior and the inferior. It is no wonder that there were so many bandit forces in Shanxi in the past. "

Like checking the occupation of official land in various places.

Faced with such a special situation, although the imperial government allocates food and salaries for disaster relief every year, and even exempts some local taxes, local officials collude with local gentry, merchants, etc., and do evil things such as oppressing the people and annexing land.

Liu Hongxun narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "All this is like a dream, sometimes the old man can't believe that the once turbulent situation can really return to stability.

After the Emperor Chongzhen clarified the river administration of various places, he appointed a group of full-time river governors to distinguish them by the Yellow River, the Canal, the Huaihe River and other river systems, so as to ensure that the duties and powers of the river administration under their jurisdiction were clear. Big improvement.

If possible, I really don't want to leave Shanxi and go to the capital to be a cabinet minister. I just want to do more practical things for the people of Shanxi in the position of governor of Shanxi.

Chen Qiyu sighed softly, looked at Liu Hongxun and said, "Who would have imagined that there was once a bandit rebellion that raged and swept across Shanxi and Shanxi, causing extremely severe turmoil in most prefectures and counties under the rule of Shanxi and Shanxi.

Now that the bandit rebellion has been suppressed, the bandit rebel army headed by Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong was gradually driven into Qinghai by the imperial court. "

Like investigating unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in various places.

If there is no clear scope of authority, but river officials can control some, and local officials can control some, then there will be serious corruption and mutual buck-passing.

"It went so fast."

Recalling all the experiences of Shanshan in the past, be it Liu Hongxun or Chen Qiyu, I feel more emotional than others. After all, the situation in Shanshan before was too dangerous and turbulent.

Like checking the refugees under Shanshan rule.

Like gathering bankrupts for work relief...

Is it all because His Majesty issued a secret decree, ordering us to effectively promote it in various places, and make full use of the local disaster relief agencies that we have set up, so that we can do it step by step?
The only thing I am worried about now is whether there will be problems in Shanxi when the position of governor of Shanxi is handed over. "

"This is what the old man is most worried about."

Liu Hongxun said: "Although Fu Zonglong is the minister of the Military Aircraft Department, after all, he has never been to Shanxi before, and he doesn't know much about some situations. If it affects the coordinated abolition of some guards in the two provinces, it will affect the gradual abolition of guards in the future and replace them with other guards. The new garrison system may cause some trouble."
