Chapter 75 Four Heroes
My father-in-law believed that although Jiang Fangyin was only a juren, he had been doing practical things for a long time and was a real front-line official.
This is also a typical feature of the officialdom in the feudal era, that is, there are many staff members who do things (masters). This leads to one consequence, that is, most new officials are deceived by minor officials below, and some staff members who know how to deal with things are even more powerful than those of the chief officials.
Jiang Fangyin was an aide to Yang Hao, who was a governor and a senior official, and asked him to manage a small island. To put it bluntly, it would be a bit useless.
But my father-in-law now has only two territory, one is the Wusongkou in the south of the Yangtze River, which is only a few dozen miles away; the other is the eighty-lipi Island that he used all his skills to get.
There was really no one available in his hand, so he had to put Jiang Fangyin on this northern dipi Island to support him first. There was no big talent who understood civil affairs in Pidao Town. He was so worried about relying solely on the pig-tu warrior Taro Higashimura, who was so arrogant.
Jiang Fangyin thought for a moment, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked Eunuch Wei how he hoped he would treat Pi Dao.
"If the people are safe, there is food, and the outside world is connected. If the military and civilians are in trouble, they can be harvested and tightened by order. If you seek truth from facts, just treat them."
After saying that, my father-in-law took out a small notebook and handed it to Jiang Fangyin. The notebook included the provisions on managing Pi Island. Most of them were copied from the Maritime Special Zone, and only the infrastructure was eliminated.
Jiang Fangyin glanced briefly and found that what he said in the book was not much different from the place of governance, but only had some special matters. This special matter was mainly to give full play to the geographical advantages of Pidao and carry out trade transactions. With his own ability, he could handle a side dish, and there was no difficulty.
"Daqing, although Brother Daqing is relieved, although this Pi Island belongs to North Korea, since we ask us to come, it will be the land of the Ming Dynasty. Although the island is small, it is of great value. Now, Brother Daqing is the first to avenge Brother Daqing to take care of this Pi Island for me. In addition, Brother Daqing has to deal with the affairs of the Anhui and Yizhou. Brother Daqing is the representative of our place in Liaodong. Brother Daqing can decide on his own affairs and act first and then report to us to go south to maritime affairs to achieve practical results. He will definitely recommend Brother Daqing to the emperor."
His father-in-law gave Jiang Fangyin great power, not only did Pidao's military and political affairs be under his control, but also the military and political affairs controlled by the North Korean Association of North Korea, and the communication and coordination in Yizhou's military and military affairs were also under his control. This was to expand Jiang Fangyin's power several times. In terms of territory alone, one participant in politics was matched.
In the future, Pidao will definitely have a town. As the water rises, Jiang Fangyin's future achievements may be worse than Yang Hao. However, his father-in-law is not inconvenient to ask the emperor for office for Jiang Fangyin, and even if he asks for office, he is just a special official. The court despises him, and the Liaodong Governor's Office will not admit it. Therefore, he still has to wait for the opportunity to plan things with people and officials with affairs.
It is not without our dynasty who have regarded the juren as the governor and the governor.
My father-in-law now also has the power to grant officials, but the officials he was granted were limited to his maritime yamen, and he was essentially not a high-ranking official. For example, Tao Jie and Zhang An who went to Japan with Oda to instigate Yan Siqi, the two men said that they would give them the opportunity to serve the court, and after they came back, they would definitely be awarded special officials of the maritime yamen of the seventh and eighth ranks, but they would definitely be much worse than real officials, so it would be better not to mention them.
If he mentioned it, Jiang Fangyin would not like it. He was originally a scholar-in-law.
My father-in-law was kind and honest, and Jiang Fangyin no longer hesitated to repay his favor. This time, the benefactor Yang Hao was dismissed from his post and returned home again. He really didn't know that he could get back again in the year of the Monkey and Horse Month. Therefore, he received a letter from Eunuch Wei that day and immediately became thoughtful. The benefactor Yang Hao was also a reasonable person. Not only did he release Jiang Fangyin, but he also asked Wang Weidong and other old subordinates to join him in this little brother-in-law Wei. Isn't the purpose of giving the old department a place to have a future?
Now that Eunuch Wei has made a promise to the future, what else is there to be dissatisfied with Jiang Daqing? I vaguely feel that if Liaodong is really a big change as Eunuch Wei said, he, Mr. Jiang, might be able to jump into the dragon gate.
"My subordinates will not let down the entrusted father-in-law!" Jiang Fangyin was solemn and bowed happily.
"Okay, with Daqing in charge of me, we will have no worries anymore!"
My father-in-law was extremely happy and immediately entrusted the 100,000 shi of grain acceptance that Zheng Renhong promised to Jiang Fangyin. 100,000 shi of grain was a huge amount. Fortunately, North Korea didn’t have much money, but its grain reserves were still good. Even if there were floods in China, it would not be difficult to squeeze out the 100,000 shi of grain.
"Don't you take this grain away?" Jiang Fangyin was stunned for a moment. He thought that Eunuch Wei was going to bring the grain to Jiangnan for use as the use of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty to go to the Eastern Front.
"No, I'll leave it to you, I'll leave it to you."
My father-in-law shook his head. Food must be a good thing, but now the Ming Dynasty and even his Ming Dynasty royal navy and army have no urgent need for food. After all, his maritime yamen is in the south of the Yangtze River, so where can he buy food if he has money? On the contrary, the grain of this Pi Island is very important because it is necessary to resettle the use of immigrants and raising soldiers.
Jiang Fangyin didn't say much more. With this 100,000 stone of grain, he could do a lot of things. No matter what the people's hearts are, as long as there is food, there will be no chaos.
At that moment, Eunuch Wei and Jiang Fangyin came to the former North Korean garrison yamen on the island and asked someone to go to the yamen sign and hang two new signs.
One is called "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally joined the Pidao Commander Office", and the other is called "The Pidao Branch Office of the Maritime Admiral Yamen of the Ming Dynasty".
Two cards, one for the army and the other for the people.
The military rule is definitely a Pi Island brigade; the civilian rule is tens of thousands of people on this island.
When the officials of the yamen were appointed, some of the people Jiang Fangyin had been with Yang Hao's aides and villagers. If there were not enough, they would be selected from the army and the people. Among the tens of thousands of people, there were always some scholars, and maybe there were talents.
The official seal is in charge. The father-in-law has a vacancy list of less than the fifth rank given by the emperor. He just put some seals for Jiang Fang. The official uniforms are mostly military generals and no civil officials, so he asked Jiang Fang to be in a hurry to follow the power of the seal and make some casually first. The same is true for the official seal. If you find someone, you can carve it with copper and iron.
"Daqing, don't be too cold, let's use it first. Let's think of some solutions and always make the yamen regular." My father-in-law said with a smile.
Jiang Fangyin roughly guessed what the regularization meant, smiled and asked Pidao how to deal with Liaodong in the future.
My father-in-law only gave him three words "don't pay attention to it."
Jiang Fangyin understood, "Don't pay attention" means that the Liaodong yamen is air and not in contact with them. It would be better if he doesn't come, and I will ignore him if he comes. If you have any objections, just sue. If you sue, there is Eunuch Wei.
The two of them talked about the governance of Pi Island again. When they saw dinner, their father-in-law called his two kids, Aobai and Zhao Butai, and also called Jiang Dongcun and others.
"Dad to pay my respects!"
Oboi and Zhao Butai never went to North Korea with their godfather and have been kept in Yizhou. When they came to see their godfather with the boat, they both came forward respectfully, but they performed the etiquette of the Jurchens.
"Get up, I haven't seen you some days, but I miss you very much for my father." My father-in-law told his adopted sons to come closer, holding one with one hand, and asking him how they practiced martial arts.
"Learn your skills well, and in a few more years, you will immediately kill the enemy with your father and slap the rebels for our Ming Dynasty." The father-in-law patted Oboi, who was on the back and waist, and then threw encouragement eyes at Zhao Butai who was slightly taller, "But you have to work hard."
"Children follow his father's teachings!"
Zhao Buterla pulled his younger brother Obai, and the two brothers knelt down and kowtowed to their father. The father-in-law asked the two brothers to get up and leave to have dinner, and then said to Jiang Fangyin: "The two adopted sons will call them first, so there is no need to teach them anything, but you can just read a few words."
"Since you are the adopted son of a father-in-law, how can you know a few words?" Jiang Fangyin said.
"Our adopted son is a hawk, as long as he can ride a horse and kill the enemy. If he knows a lot, he will not be beautiful." The father-in-law reached out to think about his beard, and then touched his chin to realize that he was still an incomplete man, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Fortunately, Dongcun was waiting for someone.
"loyalty!"
A group of officers led by Taro Higashimura saluted to their father-in-law, which was to raise their chests and raise their heads and salute them diagonally.
"loyalty."
