Chapter 710: trouble on the frontier

Views:

Zhou is talking with six Shangshu one by one, setting the tone for some big and small things, and making arrangements for next year's affairs.

In October, the governors, governors and prefects of the 13 provinces across the country all entered Beijing, and more than 300 people held a meeting in the conference room for the parliamentary council.

Zhou Zheng invited Zhu Cihong out and asked him to speak.

The fifteen-year-old Zhu Cihong was already an adult. He stood on the podium, gave the manuscript in advance according to Zhou Zheng, and addressed the officials sitting below.

"The dynasty has been over two hundred years, and there have been a lot of bad politics, and people's hearts are floating..."

"Law reform is the key to a strong country. I authorize the cabinet to deal with all law reform matters. It must eliminate bad governance, strengthen the country and enrich the people, and reshape the celestial dynasty..."

"Qian Ge is always respectful and prestigious. I depend on it deeply..."

"All the ministers and workers are the pillars of the country, and they work hard together to plan for the country, for the people of the country, and for the public..."

Zhu Cihong didn't read the manuscript. At the beginning, there was something mechanical, but behind it was full of emotion and voice.

Qian Qianyi, Zhou Zheng, and the six Shangshu, the servants were all present, sitting in front of them with different expressions, watching Zhu Cihong perform.

The other governors, governors, prefects, etc. have their own expressions, and some people still whisper and whisper.

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, Qian Qianyi and Zhou Zheng led the group of officials, raising their hands together and saying: "The officials are waiting for the order."

Zhu Cihong glanced calmly at Zhou Zheng and the others, and accompanied by Li Huazhen, left the conference hall.

Afterwards, Qian Qianyi, Zhou Zheng, and Liu Bu Shangshu delivered speeches one after another, reading out and discussing various agendas.

According to the plan, it was originally thought that one day would be enough, but after seven days, it was considered a rough result.

On the last day, Lu Daqi came to Zhou Zheng's class room and reported in detail the situation in Nanzhili and future plans.

Lu Daqi sat at the desk of Zhou Zheng’s case and said: "My lord, the land problem is still the biggest problem in Nanzhili. The lower officials are thinking of using more methods to deal with it. It is hoped that the land problem in Nanzhili will be completely resolved within three years. In addition, the business is very complicated, and the governor’s office is working with all parties to clean up. In terms of taxation, in the next three years, you may not be significantly improved..."

Zhou Zheng listened carefully. After Lu Daqi finished speaking, he said, "Well, I have carefully read your memos more than once. Your determination is good, and your ability to act is good. The most important thing now is to grasp. The core problem, as long as the core problem is solved, everything else can be solved easily. What you just said, it is indeed, but the problem of official governance, you also need to focus on important problems, all problems need to be solved by people. First change your mind and then change People, don’t change your mind to solve people, you must take the most determined attitude, don’t think about being a good person, and you will not be able to do things like this..."

Lu Daqi listened carefully, and even took out the slab wat to remember.

The two chatted for half an hour. When Lu Daqi left, Zhou Zheng personally sent it out.

Yao Tongshun sent him out of the cabinet compound, and when he returned, he said to Zhou Zheng: "My lord, some people seem to have a bit of a different attitude."

At present, the governors in various places, Zhou Mansion, are almost all deleted and elected by Zhou Zheng and others, and they belong to the'Zhou family'.

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said: "If you don't encounter problems, you can naturally talk about it. It's human nature to shrink back when you encounter problems. It's not surprising."

Yao Tongshun told Zhou Zheng about tea, saying: "The atmosphere in the capital is also a bit ups and downs. It seems that some people are dissatisfied with adults."

Zhou Zheng not only controlled the court, but also adopted an'exclusive' appointment in officialdom across the country, which naturally caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

Zhou Zheng held the teacup, pondered for a moment, and said: "Sun Shangshu is giving exam questions to the ruling and opposition officials, and I will look at it next year."

Yao Tongshun didn't mention this, and said, "My lord, do you want to make arrangements as soon as possible to go to Liaodong?"

Zhou Zheng put down his tea cup and said, "I don't know when it will snow, so it will be sooner than later, as soon as possible. Fortunately, I will be back in a month at most."

Yao Tong said: "Yes, let's make arrangements when you are in office."

Zhou Zheng hummed and picked up the official document in front of him.

This was played by the Governor of Fujian, which wrote a lot about Yang Sichang.

From the perspective of the memorial, Yang Sichang not only called the Fujian navy, but also recruited hundreds of ships, mobilized more than 10,000 people from Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, and had nearly 30,000 people in his hands, more than 300 ships.

Zhou Zheng watched this memorial for a long time, picked up the pen, and annotated: Full support.

Then he picked up his pen and wrote to the governor of Fujian.

Regaining Taiwan will be a protracted battle that will be difficult to resolve in a short time, so logistical support is particularly important.

After finishing writing, Zhou Zheng read it again and continued to read the memo.

The next one is from the Military Intelligence Department in Yunnan. It is mainly aimed at the situation of Annan, Burma, etc., and also includes Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others who have fled.

From an intelligence point of view, Annan's situation is relatively complicated, with the king's power falling off, and various warlords fighting each other year after year.

Myanmar is also facing a crisis of secession, the old king is dying, the people below are fighting for power, and the people are not living.

Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others have established a firm foothold in Myanmar, and they have many connections with Myanmar dignitaries. They have fought several times, which has made Myanmar very vigilant.

Zhou Zhengzai watched carefully, considering the situation in the south.

After a while, Zhou Zheng wrote a secret envelope and put it aside.

Then find the memorandum from Sichuan, the secret letter.

After looking at it for a long time, I made sure that the Mongolian side did nothing, nodded inwardly, and decided to go to Liaodong as soon as possible.

Three days later, Zhou Zheng came out of the house wearing a thick cotton coat and a cloak, walking on the snow.

Shangguanqing took Xiao Deshen, Xiao Keer stood under the eaves and watched Zhou Zheng leave the house.

Zhou Deshou followed Zhou Zheng. Zhou Deshou, a half-sized man, dressed in a military armor and holding a saber at his waist, followed Zhou Zheng with no expression on his face.

Liu Liuzhe and Ding Qi waited outside the door, and there were hundreds of horsemen and Zhou Zheng's soldiers.

Standing at the door, Zhou Zheng looked at the heavy snow in the sky, and said: "Tell my brothers, take care of you along the way, take a rest after two hours of walking, and bear with it."

Liu Liuzhe grinned and said, "Don't worry, the second young master, they are all elderly people, and this snowy sky won't complain."

"My lord, don't worry, you won't be waiting for this bit of blood!" a participating general not far away said loudly.

The other generals also spoke, and their morale was high.

Zhou Zheng nodded and smiled, and said, "Okay, let's go, go to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible and avoid the snow."

Liu Liuzhe responded and arranged Zhou Zheng to get into the carriage.

He rode a horse and walked in front of them side by side with Zhou Deshou, heading straight to Dongzhimen, towards Shanhaiguan.

Liu Liuzhe saw Zhou Deshou's face sullen, serious, and smiled: "Master Xiao, don't be so nervous, relax."

Zhou Dexian glanced at him, um, his body was still stiff, his eyes pierced in front of him.

Liu Liuzhe smiled again. He watched Zhou Deshang grow up. The little guy is fifteen years old and has grown up to protect others. (End of this chapter)
