Chapter 944: Loyal to the monarch and patriotism
Those who become officials are not allowed to serve locally. This has existed since ancient times, and the Ming Dynasty is no exception, but it is only targeted at civil servants.
Military generals and officials are not included in this article. The former is largely derived from the unique ward system of the Ming Dynasty, while the latter has been circulated since ancient times... The imperial power did not go to the countryside, so they could only rely on these local officials.
There are also special circumstances, such as the Japanese riots in the southeast a few years ago, and the war situation was critical. Hu Zongxian, a native of Huizhou Prefecture, served as the governor of Zhejiang, and Wu Baipeng from Yiwu County, Jinhua Prefecture, inspected and governed Liangzhe.
But there are relatively few similar examples. For example, in the 37th year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian led the bandits into Jiangxi Yan Song and became anxious, and he could not let Tan Lun, who was born in Jiangxi and Wu Guifang be transferred to Jiangxi Governor.
Therefore, Xu Wei’s suggestion is really to draw a cake to satisfy his hunger.
But Xu Wei's eyes flashed and he stared at Yang Quan, "It's okay, I can make some noise in the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow...especially the Jixuns."
Yang Quan nodded thoughtfully. The doctor of Jixun was Xu Jie's confidant Lu Guangzu.
Sun Jian frowned and couldn't figure it out. According to the grade, the doctor was demoted by the outside world, but Lu Guangzu was in the Ministry of Rites and served as the doctor for many years. He could jump out if he was forced to do so. Not to mention being promoted to the Minister of the Secretariat, at least he was transferred to Taipu Temple, Taichang Temple, and Dali Temple Shaoqing was not a big problem. As for it?
Everyone surrounded the Ningbo prefect and talked a lot. In the study room in the backyard, Qian Yuan looked at the letter in his hand indifferently.
In the letter, Tang Jingchuan only said three things.
First, Hai Rui was recommended to be promoted to Ningbo Prefecture Promotion Officer.
Second, Tang Shun chose Hou Tao Mountain to enter the soil.
Third, the smuggling trend of large Southeast households is gradually emerging, and planning is needed as soon as possible.
There are no three things related to Tang Shunzhi himself.
Even the second thing is not related to Tang Shunzhi himself.
Why?
Because Qian Yuan had already opened the small envelope.
There is only one piece of paper inside, and the handwriting on it... should not be a handwriting, it is just scratched with fingers dipped in ink.
There are only four words on the paper.
Loyalty?
Are you evil?
As early as after his first trip to the south, Qian Yuan once told his wife that he chose Taizhou not because his mother suddenly moved to Taizhou, nor because of the famous anti-Japanese generals Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang in history.
The real reason is that Tang Shunzhi.
Qian Yuan has been in this era for so many years and has seen countless people who have left their names in history. He despises Xu Jie, he admires Nie Bao, and he and Zhang Juzheng are like enemies and friends...
Walking alone on this road where there seemed to be no light ahead, Qian Yuan only found that there was one person walking the same path as him. Although the other person's direction was a bit off, and although the other person was walking very slowly... that person was Tang Shunzhi.
The first acquaintance in Chongde City, the series of actions of Tang Shunzhi after arriving in Taizhou, and the series of long talks with Qian Yuan after arriving in Taizhou, Qian Yuan confirmed that this was the most likely person to leverage the era... although he himself did not know.
Moreover, Tang Shunzhi's extremely high reputation, honest style, and ability to do things can be used... Qian Yuan made up his mind to make Tang Shun's head in charge of business affairs.
Tang Shunzhi is not like Qian Yuan. He cannot be sure whether there is light ahead of the road he is walking. While exploring, he is confused, confused, shocked, hesitant, and hesitant...
But most importantly, Tang Shunzhi inevitably had the limitations of the times, and he was always a loyal and patriotic scholar.
From Qian Yuan's seemingly food-protecting actions, Tang Shunzhi peeked into the mystery that others did not notice... because the young man's actions did not conform to the logic of this era.
Indeed, establishing a city to trade was something that was unprecedented in this dynasty, which greatly improved the finances of the Ming Dynasty and even brought a new path to the country.
If they were officials of this era, they would not always be in control and not be in the position. They would know how to let others share this piece of fat. They would make themselves climb to a higher level through trading. In short, they would use this as their political resource.
Tang Shunzhi saw that Qian Yuan did not do this, at least he did not use this as his first goal.
He can gather his heroes to form Suiyuan, can compete with Xu Jie and Gao Gong in a faint way, and can always be free in the strange court situation. Qian Yuan will not be unable to see these, and Tang Shunzhi also knows that the other party will never not understand these, nor will he lack similar means.
Tang Shunzhi only saw that in order to connect with commercial affairs in the southeast, Qian Yuan took almost everything, hooked up with Wang Zhi, charmed him with treasures, broke with Xu Jie, confronted Gao Gong, and dominated the huge fat, which made countless officials in the court look angry.
Indeed, Tang Shunzhi also admitted that it is the best choice to temporarily take charge of business affairs in Suiyuan. After all, the sea ban has not been officially opened, but why did Qian Yuan do this?
Making countless enemies is arousing covetous... After all, in the long run, this is far more harmful to Qian Yuan than to benefit.
Just for the public, not for the private?
It’s just that the scholars in Suiyuan are both honest and honest, and can do business without any worries?
Tang Shunzhi knew that Qian Yuan had a innocent heart deep in his heart, but he did not think that Qian Yuan was not wise enough to refresh the administration of officials. Refreshing the administration of officials is a slogan that every dynasty and generation are shouting but never realised. Qian Yuan could not have been able to maintain such a level of administration in Ningbo Prefecture for a long time.
For several years, Tang Shunzhi often thought about all this repeatedly at his desk and on the bed after a tired day.
He had no idea and could not think of the reason, but Tang Shunzhi began to be alert.
In the past four years, Zhenhai has become the most prosperous port city in East Asia. Countless oriental specialties have been sold to the South China Sea through it. Unlike the general perception of this era, today's Nanyang is no longer like the Yongle period. It is mostly natives and even descendants of Ming people, and most of them are occupied by the Folangji people.
A large number of Western goods also landed on this land through Zhenhai. The first thing that aroused Tang Shunzhi's vigilance was Western firearms and iron cannons, and then there were various new ideas that made him angry or meditate.
All this caused Zhenhai to undergo various changes without realizing it. Tang Shunzhi suddenly discovered that while bringing great benefits to the Ming Dynasty, it was also infecting the country, and fresh blood was infusing into the arteries of the country from here.
It was like a giant beast coming from the sea, without devouring or biting, but the mist emitting from its body gradually spread.
Tang Shunzhi didn't know what would happen in the future, but he keenly felt that this fog might change the fate of this country... To put it more specifically, what Tang Shunzhi feared most was that this fog brought the Ming Dynasty into the bottomless abyss.
Qian Yuan knew what Tang Shunzhi wanted to ask, "Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism... It's a pity,..."
"Who are you loyal to?"
"Loyal to the royal family?"
"Or loyal to the Ming Dynasty?"
