Chapter 1104: Frontier(1/2)
Chapter 1104: Enclosure
On the fifth day of the tenth month, the imperial edict was issued, Cao Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was appointed as the Governor of Zhili and Governor of Zhili, and Li Weijun, the Governor of Zhili, was transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
This imperial edict not only shocked the government and the public, but also surprised Cao Yong.
During this year, the governor of Huguang, Yang Zongren, was criticized several times, and this time he was among the emperor's opinion. What Cao Yong had planned before was that the governor of Huguang was Que.
Speaking of which, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is now empty, but a few days ago, Xiyao was appointed as the Governor of Guangdong. Cao Yong was impatient and felt that Guangdong and Guangxi were a bit far away, so he focused on Huguang.
The governor of Zhili was the leader of Zhili, Shandong, Henan provinces, and the leaders of the world's border ministers.
When Cao Yong followed the eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch, he still felt confused and fell into a dream when he saw him.
He really didn't expect that he would get to this position.
When Yuqian answered, he lost his usual calmness and felt a little stiff and nervous.
After sitting a few cases, Yongzheng looked at Cao Yong like this and explained a few words with a stern face. It was nothing more than a good place for the governor to carry out the "spreading to the acres" and cooperate with Prince Yi to manage the Beihe Road and other affairs.
Cao Yong received the orders one by one before retreating from the imperial court.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a faint joy when he left the Palace of Yangxin.
The Zhili Governor's Office was under the rule of Daming Prefecture in his early years and later moved to Baoding Prefecture. The Zhili Governor's Office was demoted to the Zhili Governor's Office, so the Zhili Governor's Office in Baoding Prefecture is also the Zhili Governor's Office.
Baoding Prefecture is less than 300 miles away from the capital. It can be breathable from the capital without having to be too far away from the capital. It is really a good place to be released.
As for "spending acres to make acres", he only needs to "Cao Rules Xiao Sui"; clearing the Beihe River is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and following the Thirteenth Master is the one who works behind him.
The only drawback is that because Zhili is in the capital, the governor of Zhili is not permanent, even if he has real teachings, few can serve for a long time. Unlike other governors, if he does not do a good job, he will be re-elected and two terms.
Moreover, after becoming the governor of Zhili, if you become other governors, you will be demoted.
Cao Yong's experience in external affairs should be stopped in Zhili.
"It's always a good thing!" Cao Yong murmured to himself, already thinking about taking office.
The biggest difference between local officials and Beijing officials is the application of staff.
The officials of the Six Ministry of the Halls have clerks and pens in the yamen, and they do not rely on the masters.
Local officials are different. They are in charge of one party and need to handle complicated affairs and require a large number of staff to assist in government affairs.
As soon as I left the palace gate, I met Yiduli head-on.
He looked happy and seemed to walk lightly. When he saw Cao Yong, his face was even more happy and said, "Congratulations to Furuo, the leader of the world's leaders!"
Cao Yong stopped and said, "Cao Yong also congratulates you on your wish, your wish is fulfilled!"
The decree was issued with Cao Yong's reign as the governor of the Ministry of War Yiduli, the Minister of War, was also the decree of being promoted to the governor of Shanxi. However, the emperor summoned the two of them to meet at the palace gate.
Yiduli smiled and hugged Bei, saying, "It's all the grace of the emperor. Only by working hard can we repay the great kindness of heaven."
Because there were so many people in front of the palace gate, Yiduli was about to enter the palace to see him again. After a few words, the two of them dispersed.
Before taking office next month, Cao Yong had to take care of the Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, after coming out of the palace, he returned to the Ministry of Revenue.
The six ministries are the most informative. In just half a day, the Ministry of Revenue has known the news of Cao Yong's relocation.
Although the Minister and the Governor are both second-rank officials, one is the deputy Jingtang and the other is the chief official, called "transfer", and in fact, "high promotion".
Therefore, since Cao Yong entered the Ministry of Revenue, he received "congratulations" all the way.
When he arrived at his office, several of his subordinates came forward, and his face was full of joy, as if they were promoted.
In the officialdom, we pay attention to "lifting".
Cao Yong is a good peak, not greedy for his subordinates’ achievements, and has been getting along well with everyone in recent years.
Although he is now out, anyone with a discerning eye understands that this adult has a bright future and will one day turn back to Liuhu to be the main hall, so he will naturally hug his thighs more and more.
Speaking of which, Cao Yong's favorite thing to go out was Jiang Jian.
He was a local magistrate, and was detained in six ministries. It was not easy for Cao Yong to handle the documents for several years.
But just as Cao Yong was frightened by the high-ranking official's position, Jiang Jian was also a little uneasy.
After the Hu tribe and the yamen, everyone rode their horses back, and Jiang Jian mentioned his staff to Cao Yong.
This time the release was different from the release of Cao Yong on the pavilion.
When he was out of the way, he was enough to hire four masters.
Now, the governor and governor are in charge, and only the clerks require twenty to forty people. This is a huge number of staff. There is only one Jiang Jian in the Cao family. How can we accomplish this?
"Sir, the affairs of prefectures and counties that students handled in their early years, and the governor's offices are a different pattern. I am afraid that the students will not be competent and delay the responsibilities of adults. They should hire another wise man." Jiang Jian said.
Cao Yong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, Fei Zi, you have to take up your post after the birthday festival. There are more than 20 days left, and there will be no shortage of manpower at that time, maybe we will choose it."
The last time he was a foreign official, Cao Yin was worried about his aides, and the Cao family took the initiative to hire him. Now the governor has reached a high position, and relatives and friends are watching him, but I don’t know how many people I want to recommend, so I don’t need to worry about him at all.
Seeing that Cao Yong knew something, Jiang Jian stopped talking, and his expression was still a little excited.
When we arrived at Cao's mansion, before we got off the horse, we saw the great butler Cao Yuan bringing many managers to greet him at the door. Seeing Cao Yong coming back, everyone congratulated each other.
Cao Yong turned over and dismounted the horse, handed the reins to the servant, looked at Cao Yuan and said, "Has anyone been here?"
Cao Yuan bowed and said, "Reply to the master's words, since noon, many people have sent congratulatory letters." As he said that, he took a stack of famous letters from the servant and delivered them to Cao Yong with both hands.
Cao Yong took it and flipped it out casually. Some knew about it and some didn't know about it, but the news was well-informed.
After entering the second door, the manager couldn't stop congratulating him.
In the Lanyuan, in addition to the Li mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Tianyou, Hang Seng, Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng, and Changsheng are also there.
Seeing Cao Yong come back, the children all got up and asked An.
Li called Cao Yong to the side of the kang, looked at his son, and said with relief: "My son is a talented man, shining the lintel of the Cao family, and you can open a church to worship your ancestors tomorrow!"
After the Cao family returned to the Qing Dynasty from the fifth generation of Cao Yong, Duke Xiyuan, Duke Zhenyan, the great-grandfather, Duke Xi and his father, became Minister of Ministers. Cao Yong, the newly released governor of Zhili, became the first county minister of the Cao family.
Cao Yong said: "It's just a lucky person. He jumped to the position of the show. His son was also frightened and did not dare to be frivolous in front of his ancestors. The only thing he was happy was that he could take the old lady out of the capital and avoid being frustrated when he stayed in the capital for a long time."
When Li heard this, his eyes lit up and hesitated a little, "The mansion always needs to keep people. My wife wants to go with you, so I will stay in the mansion..."
Thinking that this was probably his only chance to go out, Cao Yong decided to take his mother out for a walk: "Don't worry about the matter in the mansion, the old lady will not worry about it. She will not leave Beijing next month and her son will handle it properly."
Although Li was still hesitant, seeing that his son was in high spirits and did not want to discourage his interest, he listened with a smile and stopped talking.
Chu Yu had heard her husband mention the matter of exile, but now he finally got a result and was happy for her husband. In addition, compared with other places, the Governor of Zhili is closest to the capital, which is more joyful.
However, when the children are older, they are not as cheap as they used to travel with their parents.
Tianyou wanted to go to the flag school, and Hang Seng wanted to go to the palace to study, so it was not easy to leave Beijing.
The eldest son is only thirteen. If the old lady and herself are out of Beijing... Chu Yu's heart tightened, looked at her husband and children, and her heart slowly sank...
Tianyou didn't say anything, just looked at Hang Seng.
Hang Seng stood up and said, "Father, my son wants to quit his companionship and serve his father."
After saying one sentence, everyone in the room was shocked.
The prince is accompanying him to read, which is the decentness of the children of officials. Not to mention the prince he served, Prince Hongli, who is most promising to ascend the throne.
Even though he is the second son and is adopted, he cannot inherit his father's title, as long as he keeps close to Prince Hongli, his future achievements may not be blessed by his elder brother.
Now, he said he would quit his companionship.
Cao Yong glanced at him and said, "I'm going to work as a businessman, not a seventy-eighty-year-old man to Rongyang, so why are there no one to serve? Don't pull the banner, are you going to encounter any difficulties in the study and being bullied?"
After hearing what he said, everyone was worried and looked at Hang Seng.
Hang Seng laughed twice, "Father, no one bullies his son. It's because his son is impatient to get up early and wants to go out with his father to have a long experience."
Seeing that he didn't tell the truth, Cao Yong knew that there was something else in it and did not want everyone to worry, so he put down the words and asked Zuo Zhu and Zuo Chenggong about the matter.
The two brothers heard that their adoptive father was going to leave Beijing, and their eyes were filled with longing.
But they also knew that there was little hope for the Shuntian Prefecture official school was not as loose as the Eight Banners official school. It was impossible to take a long vacation.
Now they are growing older, and are ashamed and shameful as they know that their adoptive father is in a high position and are very caring for them, but they are unwilling to become ignorant people, so they are troubled by the adoptive father.
Cao Yong watched them grow up, and didn't understand their thoughts, saying, "Even if you don't want to make a fame, you should be knowledgeable and polite. Although you want to take you there, your studies are like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat and you will not be delayed. There is no need to be anxious. If you become a student, if you are impatient to study again, it will not be too late for me to arrange for you to go out for training."
Even if he did not let go, there were two brothers Cao Song and Cao Xiang, and their children could always find a place to experience it.
Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng stood up to respond. Cao Yong looked at Zuo Zhu, remembered something, and said, "Your father-in-law will go to Beijing next year. You are a son-in-law. You must work hard in the past six months. Don't let your father-in-law underestimate you."
He blushed and said nothing.
The atmosphere in the room became lively again.
Cao Yong accompanied Li to say a few more words, then went back to Wutongyuan with Chuyu, and took a look at Hengsheng before leaving.
After returning to Wutong Garden, changing clothes and washing clothes, Chu Yu sent someone to eat.
Before the couple could move their chopsticks, they heard footsteps coming from the yard. Then the maid Le Chun came in and reported, "Master, Madam, Uncle, Second Master is here..."
"I don't know what these two boys are doing!" Cao Yong complained to his wife and ordered them to come in.
"I'm so anxious that I can't wait for dinner?" Seeing that they were impatient and less steady than before, Cao Yong snorted and said, "What's the matter? Let's talk about it after dinner."
Chu Yu was by his side and had someone prepare bowls and chopsticks for their brothers.
To be continued...
