- In May, Zhao Hao said goodbye to his father-in-law, took a boat down the river, and headed to Wuchang for an appointment with Chen Rui, the governor of Huguang.
The two parties met when Zhang Wenming was buried. At that time, Chen Rui invited Zhao Hao to meet him in Wuchang.
Mr. Zhao still has to give him the face of the dignified governor of Huguang. What's more, Chen Rui is from Fuzhou, Fujian, and his second and third sons are students of Zhao Hao, and they are all his own people.
On the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Zhao Hao and his party arrived in Wuchang. In compliance with his strong request, Chen Rui did not go out to greet him in person, but 'only sent' the prefect of Wuchang as a representative to greet him at the Guan Pier outside Hanyang Gate.
??Subsequently, Chen Zhongcheng led the chiefs of Huguang Fan, Zhen, and Dusi to hold a banquet at the Yellow Crane Tower to welcome the old man of the small pavilion.
After the banquet, Chen Rui invited Zhao Hao to stay in his governor's office as a sign of goodwill to his family.
??~~
In the back garden of the governor's office, Mrs. Chen accompanied Ma Xianglan to enjoy flowers and chat, while Zhao Hao and Chen Rui were drinking tea and talking in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Mr. Lin is so polite." Zhao Hao stroked the tea cup with the cup lid and said with a smile, "I can't bear such a big ostentation."
"Hey, that's what I said. How many people in the Ming Dynasty are above the Young Master?" Chen Rui waved his hand and said with a smile, "If it weren't for your numerous warnings and instructions, I would have to go to Jiangling to pick you up."
"Why, are you still afraid that I will run away?" Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing.
"I'm really scared." Chen Rui smiled and said, "I heard from Yijie that the governor of Henan, Zhou Jichuan, wanted to meet you alone, but I didn't find the opportunity."
"At that time, the burial date of the old Lord Feng had been set, and he was indeed impeccable. I really feel sorry for Zhou Zhongcheng." Zhao Hao smiled sheepishly: "I have already written a letter to apologize to him."
"Haha, when we brothers talk to each other, do we still use official language?" Chen Rui patted Zhao Hao on the shoulder and laughed.
Yijie is Chen Changzuo, the second son of Chen Rui. He was among the first batch of Jinshi trained by Phoenix Academy and was awarded the Order of Biyang in Henan.
Chen Rui¡¯s third son, Chen Changmian, even completed three years of science studies at Phoenix Academy. He was awarded the second-class Jinshi last year and is now studying at the Hanlin Academy.
"Okay." Zhao Hao nodded with a wry smile, put down the tea cup and said, "I know what Zhou Zhongcheng wants, but I can't give it."
The officials of the Ming Dynasty have always been very leisurely, especially those who reached the governor level. Achievements are no longer important, as long as things are stable and there are no mistakes. The right thing to do is to save your energy and build a good relationship with the high-ranking officials in the DPRK. This way, someone will think of you and recommend you when you are recommended.
On the contrary, the so-called capable officials and capable officials are not words of praise in the context of Ming Dynasty officialdom, because they are often associated with care and harshness, which is not tolerated by this harmonious officialdom.
However, all this changed after Xianggong Zhang came to power. Under the examination law, officials can no longer be leisurely, decent and harmonious. Because if you fail to complete the task, you will be demoted or dismissed!
Other tasks are easy to say, but the most important thing is taxation. Currently, you must receive at least 90% to be considered qualified. It is estimated that it will increase to 100% in two years.
In addition, there is also the task of recovering accumulated tax arrears. If you fail to complete it, you will not be eligible for promotion.
Under the pressure of assessment, superiors are naturally eager to push their subordinates. At this time, academic qualifications are not important. Only those who can collect taxes and work as officials are popular.
"But it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. In a place like Henan, no matter how talented the county magistrate is, he still can't complete the tax collection task. If the pressure is too tight, the people will either desert their land and flee in large numbers, or sell themselves into slavery and take refuge in the powerful families of the vassal, and they will not be able to collect taxes.
¡°If there are too many prefectures and counties that cannot complete the task, the government will naturally be unable to complete the task; if there are too many prefectures and counties that cannot complete the task, the province will naturally be unable to complete the task. The governor had to go to Beijing every year to report on his duties. Being scolded by Xianggong Zhang was a life worse than death.
Henan Governor Zhou Jian placed his hope that Rizong would no longer be fucked by his mother-in-law and placed his hope on Jiangnan Group and Zhao Hao. It is hoped that Zhao Hao can incorporate Henan into the Jiangnan integrated area, or provide loans to local gentry to allow them to form their own development companies and engage in farm management.
It seems that as long as we enter into integration or engage in farmization, all problems will be solved.
However, Zhao Hao avoided seeing him, leaving Governor Zhou feeling lost.
??~~
"Why can't you give it?" Chen Rui asked in a nervous voice.
"Other difficulties can be overcome, but there is one thing that cannot be solved. There are too many clan kings in Henan." Zhao Hao said lightly: "The rule of the group is to respect the clan and stay away from them. We will never be in the same pot with them. Swinging a spoon.¡±
"Uh" Chen Rui was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, sir"Lost in the competition to sell porcelain. Although the quality of the latter is not as good as that of Jingdezhen, it is too cheap.
¡°And they are poaching people like crazy with high salaries, and a large number of porcelain workers in Jingdezhen are losing their jobs, which makes the situation even worse.
It turns out that the porcelain merchants in Jiangxi tried their best to fight them, but later they found that they were no match for them. If you can't beat them, then the only way is to join them
"It's a pity that there are also many vassal kings in Jiangxi, and they occupy the whole area from Nanchang to Jiujiang and the entire Poyang Lake - southern Jiangxi is a mountainous area, so Jiangxi is the most elite place, and it is all covered with blood-sucking clans.
Therefore, Zhao Hao could only refuse and only let them join the Economic Cooperation Council. We should strengthen economic and trade exchanges, try our best to unify the market, and integrate Jiangxi into the industrial chain
Alas, in short, if the vassals are not eliminated, Huguang and Jiangxi will never be able to prosper.
The same principle applies to Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Shandong and Shanxi.
There are no vassal kings in this place in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the integrated Liangzhi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangzhou, there are only Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou, which are the southwest frontier places that even the vassal kings are unwilling to go to
Therefore, the expansion of the three major groups in the country has reached its limit. No matter how rich Zhao Hao is, he would not dare to invest in the bottomless pits of Zongfan's seven provinces.
The harm done to the clan is evident. If the clan is not eliminated, there will be no hope for the Ming Dynasty!
ps. Thank you all for your concern. After two days of rest, my eyes are indeed much better. But in order to fully recover, we still have to save our eyesight these days. This chapter was modified after using voice input. Practice has proved that this method does not work
