Chapter three hundred and thirty third reward
Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with Chen Qiyu's work style.
Most civil servants and scholars of the Ming Dynasty were proud of their internship and were ashamed to go to the front line. It was extremely rare to have a pragmatic style for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to go to the scene for investigation and investigation.
Since the large-scale transfer of disaster victims began, many officials like Chen Qiyu have emerged. No matter what motivation they motivate to make such changes, as long as they really do it, they must receive the rewards and promotions they deserve.
"I will report to my emperor that after the completion of the two projects in the capital, there will definitely be many powerful and experienced and skilled workers emerging from it. I think that if there is no corresponding thing to continue, the skills of these migrant workers will be lost. It is a pity. On the other hand, the places in the Ming Dynasty have a wide range of places, but they are limited by people, money and material resources, so that they cannot carry out such similar projects. I suggest that after the completion of the project in the capital, select people with conditions, and the government will come forward to form a construction team to imitate the well-drawn system in the imperial village, and build a construction team in a place with abundant financial and material resources, so as to solve the chronic diseases of flooding and ditches in various prefectures and counties, so that the appearance of our imperial towns has been greatly improved! The above is my superficial opinion, and I hope my emperor will make a decision after deliberation!"
Chen Qiyu analyzed the emperor's rule of law in recent years from various aspects and finally came to a conclusion: this emperor may be the emperor who has paid the most attention to people's livelihood and likes to engage in infrastructure construction the most in history.
Since the nine-year stability in Chongzhen, various similar measures such as immigration and exemption of taxes from northern provinces, reducing rents to the tenants of the imperial village, abolishing gold, flowers and silver, and paying out of their own pockets to dig wells and repairing canals in various places, prove this.
Since you know the emperor's preferences, why don't you like him as a minister? It is also advocated by the sages to be the people-oriented. Whether from the perspective of righteousness or loyalty to the emperor, it is the main task of herders and officials. If you want the saints to last forever, you should start from this aspect.
His above remarks were already thought of and he was ready to make them to the emperor before the project was completed. Unexpectedly, the emperor asked about the progress of the project today, which gave him the opportunity to show his face in front of the important officials. Chen Qiyu believed that his proposal would definitely be highly appreciated by the emperor and add a heavy weight to his future career.
Chen Qiyu was indeed not wrong. This realistic suggestion made Zhu Youjian's favorability for him rise sharply, and he instantly raised his position to the top few, approaching Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng in front.
"Chen Qing's advice is extremely reasonable! You can send someone to investigate among thousands of people. First, record the identity of a skilled person in the book; second, ask whether the person is willing to participate in construction elsewhere; do not delay the farming or family affairs at home because he is away all year round. You must give instructions on this. If you have skills, voluntarily, and there is no shortage of labor at home. These three are indispensable. If you do not match, don't force it. In addition, the wages must be reasonable and the meals must be full. This is so heavy.
To consume, meat must be put every three days, and it can be calculated as three or two per person. The consumption is huge and the nutrients cannot keep up, which can easily lead to premature aging and cause serious illness. Chen Qing remembers it, remember! After you return to the yamen, you will give this matter a detailed note. After I have studied it carefully, I will build a construction ranks after the project is completed, and it will be piloted in the prefectures and counties in the capital area! The money and grain are borne by the treasury and Taicang respectively. I will send Jinyi to secretly investigate to prevent greedy people from making profits!"
When most court officials heard that the emperor asked Chen Qiyu to take care of meat every three days, they showed disapproving expressions.
In their eyes, these farmers were hired by the government and should be content to be able to subsidize their household income during the slack season. Besides, they also take care of two meals. This is the emperor's kindness. I didn't expect that they would have to eat meat once every three days. This treatment is not even comparable to some wealthy families in the countryside. Isn't that too much?
Chen Qiyu calmly bowed his hand to accept the order, but he was very proud. He showed a big face in front of the emperor today, which would be extremely beneficial to the high ranking after being promoted to the cabinet minister in the future.
As for the trivial matter of giving migrant workers meat, Chen Qiyu did not have much resistance. In the past two years, as he directly contacted the Ming Dynasty, his intuitive understanding of the suffering of the people was far better than before. His deepest contempt for the grass-roots people also changed a lot. Being able to use his power to seek some welfare for the lowest class is no longer a matter that Chen Qiyu resisted.
"In the past two years, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue have made great efforts. Fan Qing and Hou Qing have also worked very hard. I have taken these things into my eyes. I have always advocated the principle of punishing any mistakes and rewarding any merits. In view of the hard work of the two beloved ministers in the two years, I decided that this time, Fan Qing and Hou Qing will be given the title of Grand Secretary of the Dong Pavilion according to their merits! I hope that the two beloved ministers will be more diligent in official affairs, and will do their future duties more perfectly!"
Zhu Youjian then threw out a major news casually.
Last year, Zhu Youjian had issued an order to upgrade the title of Grand Secretary of the two cabinets to the first rank, and the Bachelor of the Third Hall to the first rank. This measure changed the embarrassing situation of low weight in cabinet bachelors for many years, and also made the second rank ministers have greater desire for the position of cabinet ministers.
Fan Jingwen and Hou Xun were both overjoyed after being stunned. Without any news in advance, such great news came from the sky. Could it be that God opened his eyes? Today, he was able to get the emperor's approval, and his two years of hard work were not in vain. The title of Grand Secretary of the Dongge is the best praise for himself.
With the eyes of the other important officials in the hall full of complex expressions, the two important officials stood up to thank him.
Hou Xun and Fan Jingwen were both around 50 years old. After having the title of Grand Secretary, they all had the conditions to enter the cabinet in terms of qualifications, age and ability, which made the rest of the ministers except Zhou Yun, the Minister of Personnel.
Especially Yang Sichang, who thought he was almost certain to join the cabinet, had never been under his calculations, but today they suddenly became the most realistic threat to him, which immediately caught him off guard.
Because the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works have always been the department departments with the most labours and the most tiring jobs, but also the most mistakes. Especially the Ministry of Revenue, although it is a very important department department in the court, few of the previous ministers of the Ministry of Revenue have finally entered the cabinet. Many of them were convicted and returned to their hometowns when they were in office. Typically, they are thankless for their efforts.
Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly promoted the two to a remarkable position without warning, which made Yang Sichang feel extremely disappointed.
Of course, Zhu Youjian could understand Yang Sichang's loss. Although he valued Yang Sichang's talent very much, for the current Ming Dynasty, money, grain and construction were the top priority. After all, Yang Sichang had not made outstanding contributions for a short time after returning to office, so this promotion and reward was not included in Zhu Youjian's consideration.
Most of the officials and officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works were sent to the front line of resettlement of disaster victims and made great efforts to do so. Although this was mainly driven by interests, it is undeniable that people did make real political achievements, which can be seen from the current resettlement of disaster victims to the present time.
In addition, the Jinyiwei and the Censor's report on the relevant situation every minute, and there is also a detailed description of the outstanding people and things. All of this laid a solid foundation for the promotion of Fan and Hou.
"Sun Qing from Shaanxi has led his troops to Beijing to deal with the war with Jianzhou next year, but the position of governor of Shaanxi cannot be vacant for a long time. The head of Shuntian Prefecture Wu Ganzhong is quite talented and is well-known as an official. He is now specially promoted to the position of governor of Shaanxi. He will take office immediately after his handover with Sun Qing, and will not be delayed!"
Zhu Youjian released the next important personnel appointment and removal news again.
Wu Ganzhong had a close personal relationship with Sun Chuanting, which was known to many court officials. In Zhu Youjian's eyes, being able to become a close friend of Sun Chuanting must have a special advantage. Otherwise, with Sun Chuanting's proud temperament, most people would not want to interact with him at all.
Now the whole province of Shaanxi is very stable, and the resettlement of disaster victims is progressing quite smoothly. As long as the successor does not act willful and act according to the existing effective strategies, it will take less than a few years to see a great governance situation in Shaanxi.
From this point of view, Wu Ganzhong should be the most suitable candidate for the governor of Shaanxi. At least on the issue of handover and continuation, the two of them will definitely have a corresponding tacit understanding. I believe that Sun Chuanting will propose the most feasible policy strategy to this close friend to avoid the drawbacks of the officialdom of the death of the political recession.
As for the current Shaanxi governor Zhu Yongyou, Zhu Youjian never considered him. This man was a typical bureaucrat and a scattered life. This man had not made any outstanding achievements in his more than two years of being in charge of Shaanxi. Sun Chuanting also had a very low evaluation of him. Such a person who was in a position of corpse would be replaced sooner or later.
