Chapter 127 The virtuous cycle of development in southern Liaoning

Chapter 126

The salute officer stepped forward and said loudly: "Jinzhou Civil and Military Affairs, all military officers and soldiers respectfully welcome the emperor to write the document!"

In such a solemn occasion, there is no need to kneel down. From Cheng Shijie on down, you only need to bow down and listen to orders.

Fu Zonglong took over the imperial edict from the ceremonial official and read out: "On Bingchen in the fifth month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Emperor made the following announcement: The important events of the country are in the army and in sacrifice. I inherit the order of heaven and show off the grand plan. The sea is in chaos. The establishment of slaves is rampant.

Rampant, thieves and bandits plundered wildly, false flags were raised indiscriminately, the difficulties could not be overcome without conquests, and the border could not be determined without crusade. The establishment of generals was used to control the sergeants in the three generations. The Yuan Rong was appointed, and the Han and Tang Dynasties attacked Di Rong.

Scholars were awarded titles. Conquests were measured by the amount of land, and military merits were rewarded to the princes. Therefore, Yu the Great built nine tripods, the Duke of Zhou discussed the five nobles, white flags and yellow stones, and worked hard to reward and punish..."

Song Xiance and Lin Xuzong were okay and could barely understand. Cheng Shijie was already dizzy. As for Shen Mingyu, Chang Yu, Zhou Yandong, Chen Guodong, Li Zhixiang and others, they were all stunned and had no idea what was being said.

What means.

However, Zhou Yandong and others have a very pious attitude.

"The general who conquered the captives, the governor of the left, the commander-in-chief of the Ning navy, controlled the Dongjiang army Cheng Shijie, defended the enemy and banished the invaders, and the slaves of the establishment were frightened by the news, patrolled the borders and garrisoned the territory, and the three armies were invigorated. Therefore, the right minister of the Ministry of War is also the censor of the capital.

, Governor Jimen, Liaodong, and Baoding Military Affairs Fu, with dragon banners and tiger festivals, gold seals and purple ribbons, were entrusted to the feudal territories and worshiped as managers. The soldiers and civilians of Liaodong all obeyed the orders, Wen Qing and Wu Ben were responsible for rewards and punishments, and the Fanping Kingdom

Territory, suppress and establish slaves to show great virtue, so that the young and old in Liaodong can live in peace and prosperity, and the common people can live happily, inherit the Haotian, and show their grace and righteousness! I am so grateful to you for your control..."

Cheng Shijie could understand almost all the words, but when the questions were put together, he had no idea what they meant. While Cheng Shijie was still in a daze, Song Xiance lowered his voice and said: "Lord, please obey the imperial edict quickly!"

Cheng Shijie raised his hands with joy and shouted: "My lord, Cheng Shijie has ordered me to thank you."

Sun Yuanhua and others followed and said: "I accept the order and thank you!"

Huang Long led the generals above the rank of general of the Dongjiang Army and said unevenly: "I have received the order, thank you!"

It was the turn of the more than 6,000 officers and soldiers of the Ning Navy who were in the audience, and they all said in unison: "I thank you for your kindness!"

At this time, Cheng Shijie said: "Long live my emperor!"

Liu Qianning's naval officer said: "Long live my emperor!"

Fu Zonglong held the imperial edict in front of Cheng Shijie and gave it to Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie reached out to take it and handed it to Cheng Shi behind him.

Only then did Cheng Shi hold the imperial edict.

The Liaodong Economic Envoy can also be called the Liaodong Economic Envoy. This is actually a military official position, because there are no civil institutions in Liaodong and all are under military control. There are no state capitals in the entire Liaodong region, only garrison offices.

However, since the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Shijie was the first person to serve as a high-ranking military official as a military minister.

After accepting the imperial edict, the ceremonial official gave Cheng Shijie the official seal and banner that symbolized the envoy: "From now on, from now on, as high as the sky and as low as the spring, the general will control it."

Since Cheng Shijie, an official with a bad record, beheaded the scholar who had committed the "Flower Case" when he was in possession of the Shangfang Sword, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had to re-teach Cheng Shijie the authority to use the Shangfang Sword.

"The Jingjie ax and ax are the authority of the emperor. The master gives it to his ministers, and it is to reward and punish Haotian. Therefore, it must not be disrespected, and it must not be used wantonly..."

"yes"

The commending officer added: "Jings are reserved for rewards, and all titles below the fifth rank are not awarded. The general can do it himself. Those who are below the third rank and above the fifth rank are promoted to the Jin Dynasty. The general must report to the Taige and order it from his subordinates."

Cheng Shijie said: "Yes!"

"If there are no exceptions, the Taige will not reject the general's petition... If the Taige refutes the general's petition, the general can directly report it to His Majesty, and the cabinet has no right to interfere with the general's memorial.

The memorial will go directly to the Holy Auditor through the Supervisor of Ceremonies..."

"yes!"

Officials and titles are famous weapons of the imperial court. They should not be given lightly to those who are not generals who govern the people; they should not be taken away by others unless they are incompetent and mediocre!"

"yes!"

"Jie specializes in killing. If an official below the seventh rank is guilty, the general can immediately behead him. If he is below the fifth rank and above the seventh rank, he can be beheaded first and then report to the police. If he is a general below the third rank and above the fifth rank, he can be impeached. It will be reviewed by the Taiwan Pavilion.

conviction!"

Officials from the Ministry of Rites told Cheng Shijie more than a hundred things, including who could and could not be killed. In fact, Yuan Chonghuan had the power to directly kill a third-rank general, let alone Mao Wenlong, who was a first-rank officer.

None. Even if you kill a third-grade general, you need to impeach the court, and the cabinet will review it before convicting you.

Under normal circumstances, the cabinet will not refute Yuan Chonghuan's request.

After the ceremony was completed, Cheng Shijie held another banquet in Jinzhou City to entertain Fu Zonglong and his party.

Sun Yuanhua looked at Cheng Shijie and said solemnly: "Although it is a good thing to have power in your hands, you must use it well to turn it into a good thing in the end. Does Beiping understand what I mean?"

Cheng Shijie bowed and said: "I understand that playing with power will only harm others and yourself!"

"It's good that you understand. In today's world, those who have power tend to use their power in every possible way. There are very few people who can make good use of their power!"

Sun Yuanhua was also observing Cheng Shijie during this time.

Although it is said that Cheng Shijie has not been successful for a long time, the more at this time, the easier it is to see the problem. For example, when the poor suddenly become rich, they are most likely to consume in revenge. People like Cheng Shijie who suddenly gain power are most likely to be nepotistic.

Sun Yuanhua has observed that there are many people around Cheng Shijie, such as Song Xiance, Zhou Yandong, Chen Guodong and others. They are all Cheng Shijie's original team members. It is said that the most important thing for Cheng Shijie is military power, and Zhou Yandong, Chen Guodong, Song Xiance and others should be allowed to

Go and lead the troops.

But the problem is that Cheng Shijie's approach made Sun Yuanhua a little confused.

Zhou Yandong, the second person from Ning Haijun below Cheng Shijie, was in charge of everything except the army. Chen Guodong, on the other hand, only dealt with military law. In Sun Yuanhua's view, Chen Guodong was actually a military judge.

In fact, Chen Guodong was the biggest helper for Cheng Shijie to effectively control the army, followed by Yang Yunniang and Liaonan Bank. Because of the existence of the bank, officers were unable to interfere with the military pay of all officers, preventing officers from having a hand in deducting military pay.

The Ning Navy is different from other armies. Ordinary generals do not have the power to recruit soldiers. All recruits are recruited through the Military Training Bureau. After passing the training, they are uniformly assigned to each capital department, each general office, each bureau, and each department. From then on, additional

The irregular transfer of generals can prevent officers from having too much influence on an army.

Cheng Shijie is neither a saint nor a cliché. The people he uses are all the original team around him, such as the Dengzhou Zuoqianhu clan who was born as a servant soldier, or the military households of Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu. As long as

If you are not stupid, you can still be an official of hundreds of households in the field. This is a sixth-grade official position.

If others want to become officials of hundreds of households, they need to show extraordinary ability and strong loyalty. In comparison, the more than 10,000 military households in Zuoqianhusuo, whether in the military unit or in the

In the field system, even if you are managing a factory, you can be promoted relatively quickly.

According to the management methods of later generations, Cheng Shijie divided the factories under his name into different levels according to size. Factories with less than 300 employees were assigned to the 100-level executive level. Factory directors and managers enjoyed 100-level treatment every year.

The annual salary is 36 shi of grain and 60 taels of silver.

Those with more than 300 people and less than 800 people are at the level of general bureau. They enjoy seventy-two shi of food per year, plus one hundred taels of silver. Those with more than 800 people but less than 1,500 people are at the level of general bureau chief.

The annual salary is one hundred and twenty stones of food, plus two hundred taels of silver and corresponding dividends.

For companies with more than 1,500 people, factory directors and managers enjoy capital-level treatment. So far, Cheng Shijie's factories in southern Liaoning are only military-affiliated units that have reached this scale, such as steel plants, gun factories, ordnance factories.

Factory, Horse Carriage Factory. The Agricultural Tool Factory is the only private factory with more than 1,500 employees, reaching more than 2,800 people. However, not long ago, the Agricultural Tool Factory was divided into two, into the Jinzhou Factory and the

Gaizhou Factory.

During the five years of spring plowing in Chongzhen, the main reclamation area was concentrated in Jinzhou. Next year, while developing Jinzhou, it will also be dumped in the direction of Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Haizhou. A factory will be set up in Gaizhou to reduce transportation pressure.

"By the way, Beiping, what are you going to do about entering Beijing?"

Sun Yuanhua continued: "The Holy One now intends to call you to the court to report your duties to His Majesty, but for fear of arousing suspicion, he made it clear that it depends on your own wishes. If you are unwilling to go, just send an envoy to accompany Mr. Fu to the court!"

Under normal circumstances, when governors of various provinces take office or are transferred, they have to go to Beijing to meet the emperor. This is because the emperor needs to conduct a face-to-face inspection, has some important matters that need to be explained in time, and will be encouraged and supervised. In other words, if someone

If a governor has been serving in other places for a long time, and his political achievements have been recognized by the emperor, then under normal circumstances, there is no need to go to Beijing to meet the emperor. This situation is very common, especially for governors from inland provinces.

Cheng Shijie's situation is quite special. His political achievements have been affirmed by Emperor Chongzhen. According to the convention, he does not need to go to Beijing to meet the saint. But the problem is that Cheng Shijie has become the idol of Emperor Chongzhen invisibly. Therefore, the young emperor wants to meet him very much.

Meet Cheng Shijie, the Ming Dynasty's "Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

Cheng Shijie also knew that if he delayed going to the capital, I was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would have some ideas, and he would definitely go to the capital. But now, the spring plowing work is basically over. Although it has not rained for more than 20 days, waterwheels are passing through the ditches.

It can irrigate crops, but Cheng Shijie doesn't really have much to do. Moreover, he will also go abroad in later generations and will need to leave temporarily for a while.

When more than a hundred officials from the capital came to Liaonan, the military households and workers in Liaonan were so surprised that they even spoke in a much softer voice. Fu Zonglong was in great spirits. Facing the banquet provided by Cheng Shijie, the fried duck was so fat that it was browned.

The oily chicken, the mutton that's charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the green vegetables that are stir-fried, and the thick broth make this meal a luxury no matter where you put it.

Fu Zonglong, the Minister of War, only drank three glasses of wine before pretending to be drunk. Cheng Shijie could not figure out Fu Zonglong's drinking capacity and did not persuade him to drink. As a result, Fu Zonglong returned to the guest room where he was staying and wiped his face with a towel.

His eyes were clear and there was no hint of drunkenness.

Fu Zonglong changed into a long gown and took his personal entourage around the entire Jinzhou City. He was full of praise for Ning Haijun's free bathhouses, free drug stores, free medical clinics and bustling factories.

Although southern Liaoning has achieved free medical care for all, in fact, this free medical treatment makes Cheng Shijie feel helpless because there is a field hospital in Ninghai Navy, five pharmacies, 11 medical clinics, and 15 cooperative hospitals in Jinzhou.

The number of doctors in the hospital is relatively high even in Beijing, not to mention Shandong.

But the problem is that in order to make money, those cooperative medical centers began to mobilize their staff to find patients everywhere. After the patients were treated in the medical center, they did not need to get money, but only needed to press their fingerprints. After three months, the cooperative medical centers

The pavilion settled the accounts with Ning Haijun's Military Affairs Office.

Since then, every medical clinic has been overcrowded. According to the theoretical standards of traditional Chinese medicine, there are only a few normal and healthy people in the Ming Dynasty, especially those with kidney deficiency. There is also the saying that nine out of ten people are deficient. This has created a new problem.

People who are really sick have no chance to be treated, while idle people with no serious problems occupy limited medical resources.

Cheng Shijie originally decided to expand cooperative medical clinics, but in the end he had to propose that kidney-tonifying herbs, aphrodisiac herbs, and tonic herbs were no longer free.

Fu Zonglong only took one look at the so-called free medical center and asserted: "Cheng Jinglue has been cheated!"

Cheng Shijie also knew that his thinking was a bit naive.
