The Zhili Governor's Yamen was the one that Emperor Chongzhen mentioned the most in the past six months or so.

Because from the disaster relief agency, to the accommodation of displaced people, to the rectification of officialdom, to the reform of banknotes and tariffs, to the planning of Chidao water conservancy construction, to the preparation of government-run factories, etc., there are many new policies that have been implemented at the local level, even though they are not mentioned in name.

But they are all implemented in practice.

Lu Xiangsheng, a pillar of the country's governance, helped Emperor Chongzhen share a lot of pressure in North Zhili and actively promoted various plans and arrangements.

Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone else what kind of infamy Lu Xiangsheng was carrying and what kind of pressure he was under, so no matter what needs he had, he would try to solve them as soon as possible.

If you want money, give money.

Give talents to talents.

As long as it is something he can handle, in order to avoid a decrease in work efficiency, he usually bypasses the officials outside the court and handles it directly from the inner court.

"I didn't expect that the adjustment of the Gyeonggi garrison would have many negative impacts, and His Majesty solved it in this way."

Lu Xiangsheng flipped through the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "The addition of Minister of Military Aircraft Department, the cabinet and the local governor have all been adjusted. This can indeed divert the attention of the court.

It seems that this matter will definitely be effective when those ministers go to Beijing to take up their posts, and then the defense line of border towns protecting the capital will be completely clear."

Yan Yingyuan couldn't hide his excitement and looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Futai, does this mean that the batch of health stations set up in other prefectures and counties under the rule of Beizhili can be abolished one by one?

Since Futai took office as the governor of Zhili, none of the batch of guard stations he secretly inspected was clean. They secretly annexed the registered guard stations and farmed them, exploited the military households, and drank the blood of the soldiers...

In a sense, the Wei system established by the Ming Dynasty was really rotten. Not only could it not relieve the imperial court, but it also gnawed at the vitality of the country.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid..."

"Jianheng, I understand how you feel, but there are some things that we shouldn't rush into."

Lu Xiangsheng put away the newspaper and said with a serious expression: "Things are divided into priorities. Some things are suitable to be solved at the court level, and some things are suitable to be solved at the local level.

The current adjustment of the garrison in the capital is just the beginning. If we choose to submit the corresponding memorial to the court at this time, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"student……"

Yan Yingyuan was speechless for a moment.

He understood the truth, but seeing the maladministration and corruption in the officialdom right in front of his eyes, and pretending to turn a blind eye and not hear, Yan Yingyuan couldn't do it in his heart.

"Kan Heng, you are very similar to me when I first entered the official career. You will never go along with things that you don't understand."

Lu Xiangsheng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and sighed: "But the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is not as simple as you think. Many things cannot be solved by one person.

The simplest example is what the Disaster Relief Administration is doing now. If there were not many scholars who are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, stay at the bottom and do what they want to do, do you think the current Beizhili would be able to do what they want?

Current changes?”

"Futai taught me a lesson." Yan Yingyuan bowed his hands and said, "It's student Meng Lang."

"Haha~"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and waved his hand and said: "You are not called Meng Lang, but you have the world in mind. You scholars, who can choose to do things down-to-earth, are the hope of the Ming Dynasty.

From sheltering displaced people and disaster victims, to preparing for the construction of government-run factories, to preparing for the construction of Chidao, to renovating water conservancy construction, to preparing for the establishment of local schools...

Which of these piles and piles can be done easily?

No.

You often say that I am under a lot of pressure, but how can the pressure you are under be too small?

From the beginning to the end, I never heard anyone say that I gave up my job, and I made a few complaints in private. This is all human nature."

Recalling these days, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, and Du Yinxi served as officials in the disaster relief office.

Lu Xiangsheng's heart was filled with emotion as he set up various government offices and handled all kinds of things.

In less than a year, from being impetuous and noble in behavior to being down-to-earth and close to the people now, Lu Xiangsheng sees all their changes and remembers them in his heart.

The responsibilities and things that each of Yan Yingyuan's scholars had to do were adjusted and clarified one by one after Lu Xiangsheng carefully considered them.

Lu Xiangsheng also knew in his heart that people like Fang Yizhi were from Fushe, including Du Yinxi later, and had some connections with the Donglin Party.

But Lu Xiangsheng always kept in mind what Emperor Chongzhen said, asking for common ground while reserving differences, not judging everything based on their origin, asking them to fight at the grassroots level, treating everyone with a good attitude, guiding and cultivating them, and letting them pass practice.

To complete self-dialectics.

Emperor Chongzhen is willing to actively cultivate young scholars, whether they are Fushe at the current stage, some of the underachievers of the Donglin Party, or those who are inextricably linked to the Donglin Party.

The purpose of not asking them to go to the capital is to isolate them from the officialdom. After all, these young scholars have not entered the official career and have not been contaminated with those bad things.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty, especially the younger generation, all have a strong romanticism. Who is not young?

It is normal to have beautiful longings and fantasies in your heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "Hurry up and prepare for the scholar meeting. It will be held tomorrow, and the scholars assigned from various places will come back.

It is a rule set by the Emperor to conduct regular research, judgment and criticism on the tasks carried out by the Disaster Relief Agency, and we must all abide by it."

"Here!"

Yan Yingyuan immediately raised his hands and bowed.

Recently, various prefectures and counties under the rule of Beizhili have actively carried out many errands, especially Baoding Prefecture, Shunde Prefecture and other places. They are concentrating on preparing to build government-run factories to build up efforts for the construction of Chidao. Lu Xiangsheng will never allow any accidents to happen.

"You still need to sharpen yourself."

Looking at Yan Yingyuan's leaving figure, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head with a smile and said: "When dealing with some things that I don't understand, I no longer have the composure that I used to have. If you want to solve these bad policies, there is nothing that can be done overnight. You have to do it steadily.

"

Among the people in the Disaster Relief Administration, the one Lu Xiangsheng was most optimistic about and valued the most was Yan Yingyuan. No matter what he was asked to do, no matter how hard or tiring he was, he could do it well without complaint. This also made Lu Xiangsheng the most important person in the Disaster Relief Administration.

, set up Yan Yingyuan as an example.

Young scholars are, after all, arrogant. They have always secretly competed with each other if they did not do well in the achievements of others.

In Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, the secretly competitive attitude of such a batch of raw melon and eggs is what he wants to see. Forming a virtuous circle is the most important thing.
