Chapter 150: Workers, Peasants, Businessmen, and Soldiers
Ma De didn't plan to visit privately on a private tour, so he showed his identity as soon as he entered Anhui. As a result, at the first stop, Lingbi County, he was invited by the local county magistrate to live in the county government office, and the county magistrate took his family to live in the inn.
...
"Oh my mother, why is Anhui so troublesome..." I stayed in Lingbi all night, and in the early morning, in the study room that was cleaned by the county magistrate, he threw the "Anhui Notes" written by Feng Zhiren to him to Xing Ming, and Ma De began to howl to the sky.
"Sir, you seem to have watched it for the tenth time, right? Have you never thought of a solution?" Xing Ming asked with a smile.
"How is it that easy? If you want to solve all these five major problems in Anhui, you have to give me at least fifty years..." Ma De pinched the bridge of his nose, shook his head and sighed.
"Master, is that amazing?..." Hai Liu took the "thing note" with only a few pieces of paper from Xing Ming, looked left and right, and handed it to Xing Ming, and said, "Old Xing, help Niannian..."
"You..." Shaking your head helplessly, Xing Ming had to raise his posture and recite aloud: "Five major problems in Anhui: First, Tongcheng! This is the hometown of Wenzi, with many talented talents. Among them, there were many famous scholars and scholars, and the Grand Secretary Zhang Ying, the Minister of Shangshu, Zhang Tingyu and his son, were both prime ministers. Others, such as officials at all levels, Jinshi and Juren, were unable to be listed. However, it is difficult for people to cherish themselves if they have talents. Therefore, there are many people who are good at speaking and political affairs in Tongcheng, which is very easy to disrupt the provincial government; second, the Grain Gang! There are 128 grain granaries in the Qing Dynasty, and there are tens of thousands of sailors in the grain transport ships. There are also many people on the Yangtze River, and their hands and feet touch the provinces. However, Anqing is the place where Anhui governs, and it is also a grain granary.
The Gangmao Gang was where the Gangmao Gang was (the Grain Gang later divided into the Qinghong Gang). Third, Fengyang!... Anhui Province, a total of seven prefectures, ten prefectures, fifty-one counties, and Fengyang prefectures monopolizes and thirteen counties! The land is full of disasters and the people are in poverty. Since the Ming Dynasty, it has been a difficult task for all the governors of Anhui. If Fengyang is not governed, Anhui will be in peace! Fourth, Hui merchants! Since the Ming Dynasty, Hui merchants have already spread all over the world. As far as the deep mountains and forests, poor mountains and rivers, and near Yangzhou and Hankou, Hui merchants have all had extremely strong power.... Hui merchants are also in Anqing! Fifth, Anhui people are tough and fond of internal fighting, and their land and grain production is not abundant. Water conservancy has been disrepair for many years since Lefule Zhongcheng..."
"It's not difficult, right? Master, what is your identity? The literati in Tongcheng dares to interrupt, but you can't deal with it? If it really doesn't work, we can just ignore them. What's wrong with the grain gang? Can't Anhui's soldiers still withstand a bunch of coolies? But the matter in Fengyang Mansion is more troublesome... Then Hui merchants will be spared. A group of merchants, giving them a little face is enough for them to see..." Hai Liu Chaotian was vented and was kicked aside by Risong.
"Sir, there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. Things are all done step by step, why should you be anxious? Moreover, the situation in Anhui is much better than we thought before we came! At least, it is not that 'poor'!" Xing Ming said again.
"That's it!..." Ma De sighed again! The five things listed by Feng Zhiren are the capital of the "study" school with a wide range of hands and eyes and a world-renowned reputation; the grain gang is a large gang that affects the major events of the canal transportation and the operation of the Yangtze River, which is no different from a group of "soldiers" in the wild; the Hui merchants are the essence of merchants in Chinese history, and the difficulty can be imagined... In addition to the agricultural affairs and water conservancy represented by Fengyang. These five major difficulties are truly "workers, farmers, merchants, and soldiers" who have not lost all of them.
"Master, I think it's hard for you to rectify the desolate land of Ninggu Tower at that time. Why are you still afraid of Anhui?" That Risong also said as he looked at Ma De's frowning face.
"It's not fear! It's fear... Before coming, I thought Anhui was just a poor person, but I thought it was nothing! Ningguta was poorer than here, so we won't do it as usual? But isn't it so much trouble now? None of these five things can be handled casually... God, why did you let me know the depth of the pond in Anhui so late? If I had known it, I would rather give up this official position and be a magistrate, which is better than here!" Ma De covered his face with one hand, but still could not get rid of this late melancholy. He has experienced more things in the past few years, so he naturally understood the terror of the five major problems in Anhui! If these things are easy to deal with, Anhui has the Huai River in the north and the Yangtze River in the south, and such a superior geographical environment, can he still be poor until now? The problem here is definitely a big deal...
“Tu tu tu tu…”
"What's the matter?" Hai Liu shouted when he heard the knock on the door.
"Master, the Lingbi County Magistrate has an emergency document submitted!" The guard standing guard outside said loudly to Ma De.
"There are official documents now?...Call in!" Ma De was stunned at first, and then ordered.
...
"Sir, please pay homage to Lord Futai!"
The magistrate of Lingbi County was named Yang Yong. After receiving Ma De's permission, he respectfully carried a document into his own study and knelt down to salute Ma De.
"Get up! What official document is it?" said Ma De.
"Report to Master Futai. The official is not sure what official document is..." Yang Yong replied.
"have no idea?"
"Yes! Lord Futai, as soon as you arrived yesterday, the official reported this matter to the prefect as usual. Who would have thought that early this morning, someone rushed to the inn to find the prefect, saying that it was the urgent document of the prefect, and he wanted the official to hand it over to you immediately... The official did not dare to neglect, so he rushed to come in a hurry." Yang Yong said.
"You magistrate is quick... what's his name?" Ma De signaled Xing Ming to take the official document and asked while opening it.
"Mr. Lingbi County belongs to Fengyang Prefecture. Our magistrate's name is Li..."
"Li Lin!?" As soon as he heard the three words "Fengyang Mansion" spoken by Yang Yong, Ma De immediately called out. There was a top student who was his "pride" throughout his life. As Li Pan's cousin, how could he not remember it?
"That's right, it turns out that Lord Futai, you and the prefect are indeed old friends..." Yang Yong smiled and seemed to have heard of rumors that there was a "deep" relationship between Li Lin and Ma De.
"..." Without responding to Yang Yong's words, knowing Li Lin's temper, Ma De quickly opened the official document and read it - "Teacher Ma, a big deal is not good! These officials in Anhui are going to cause trouble! ... Chen Yigang, the prefect of Chizhou, and Zhang Chunxiu, the prefect of Luzhou, told me that now, officials from three prefectures, five prefectures and twenty-one counties in Anhui Province have already signed a letter to file a lawsuit. When you arrive, you will stop your leader and sue Shi Lun for the black lawsuit... The official document will arrive first, Chen Yigang, Zhang Chunxiu, and the two of you will come here soon!..."
"Three prefectures, five prefectures, twenty-one counties? Isn't that half of the local officials in Anhui want to sue Shi Shilun? How many people did this guy offend?... Damn, I wonder if I'm tired of traveling? Can't I let me be quiet for a while first?" Ma De's face cried in an instant.
...
***************
Although many people think that he came to Ningguta to enjoy the happiness and pick fruits, Yisan'a himself knew very well that his life would not be better.
The reason why he wanted to go to Heilongjiang to be the customs admiral was certainly because he wanted to get a fat man, but he also understood very well that it was because his identity in the court was very embarrassing. As a remnant of Soetu, Kangxi would not trust him, and the possibility of promotion within a few years was very small. Moreover, he was suppressed by Kangxi's trusted minister Chen Tingjing in the Ministry of Works. Chen Tingjing, and Chen Tingjing was extremely capable, so he could not even think of any outstanding opportunity. In addition, the exclusion of other party members of Tong Guowei... so many reasons have summed up that he had the idea of "going out of the capital". After all, as a Manchu, if he really made some contributions, it would be unnecessary to say that he had an advantage that other Manchus could not achieve, that is, as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, he had long been familiar with Kangxi.
However, what is unexpected is that Kangxi did not send him to Heilongjiang in the end, but sent him to Ningguta.
This made him both thankful and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, I heard that the West has started fighting, and the customs in Heilongjiang will definitely be deserted. At this time, there is no need to take over Heilongjiang, so I will not be able to get involved from others! What’s uncomfortable is that Ningguta is much harder to get along with than Heilongjiang.
In Heilongjiang, Yuzhong is just a customs admiral, and there is a Heilongjiang general Pengchun standing beside him. The power in his hand is limited and the influence will not be too great. However, in Ningguta, Made almost covers the sky! Look at the official position of that guy, Ningguta governor, in charge of military power; Jilin governor, in charge of flag affairs; Buthaula general manager, in charge of procurement... No one in Jilin can control him! Especially, I heard that this guy is very popular!
Kangxi asked him to take over Jilin at this time, and even handed over the military power to Shaer Huda, who had a very strong relationship with Ma De. It is conceivable how sad his life will be in the future.
"After arriving in Jilin, look first, don't talk nonsense! Don't point fingers! You must think twice before you act!" Thinking about Chen Xijia's advice to him when he was about to leave Beijing, Yisan A nodded secretly. If you don't want to cause trouble, you must be honest first.
"Sir Yi, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Yisan A was a little confused, Luo Xin called him.
"Ah... nothing! Princess, is Ninggu Tower ahead?" Looking at the flat road under your feet, Yisanah continued: "Apart from the bluestone road in the capital, I have never seen such a flat and wide road..."
