Baoding Prefecture, Zhili Governor's Office.

"The ministers of the Disaster Relief Administration have changed into the four-sided flat scarves made by the inner court and the Confucian robe, which looks different, and it has changed a lot from the previous one."

"Who said no? I heard that this outfit is a specification set by the emperor. It is not worn by students and scholars of the Disaster Relief Administration."

"It's not just that. Like the dozen or so husbands in the front line, they are wearing the sky blue robe, which they cannot be worn if they are approved by the emperor."

Some officials gathered outside the government office saw the students and scholars from the Zhili Disaster Relief Administration, and kept rushing from all over the place to gather in front of the government office, talking in a low voice.

Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, and Du Yinxi, all of them stood up with their heads raised, waiting for other classmates to come to gather.

I am willing to let go of my posture and the pride of scholars, and join the Disaster Relief Administration, a special agency, to do something at the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps he did not get any benefits in terms of money and fame, but in other aspects, Emperor Chongzhen used various methods to make these groups who could endure hardships and were willing to stay spiritually sublimated.

Empty talk will ruin the country.

A generalist.

It was not what Emperor Chongzhen wanted.

To make the Ming Dynasty correct the situation, a group of talented people with firm beliefs and do all kinds of things in various places in the Ming Dynasty, so that they can bring about changes.

The huge group of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, especially among the younger generation, may have different backgrounds, different concepts, or different teachers, but these are not important to Emperor Chongzhen.

What is the most important?

The group of young talents who were able to let go of their pride and become officials in the Disaster Relief Administration, were willing to do things at the grassroots level of the local area, endured various tempers, and persevered, were what Emperor Chongzhen wanted.

It seems very simple to screen, but no matter which layer of screening it is, it is a difficult choice for contemporary Ming scholars.

Scholars are noble and unwilling to do humble things. This is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, the group of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was very large.

It was so huge that Emperor Chongzhen could use this layer of initial screening method to leave batches of talents of different years, and use the Disaster Relief Administration to build another talent team.

"The Zhili Disaster Relief Administration has called a meeting of scholars, and there are 137 people, but there are actually 137 people." Yan Yingyuan held the list in his hand and said seriously: "It is now announced that the meeting of scholars will be held as scheduled. Please... Follow Yan to the government office immediately and attend the meeting!"

"Here!"

Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, and Du Yinxi bowed and said.

The Zhili Disaster Relief Administration, led by Lu Xiangsheng, has a total of 2,138 students and scholars. In order to facilitate management and management, there are four levels of scholars, officials, clerks, and clerks.

The award of positions at each level is not based on the test of the title, but is determined by the evaluation.

Anyone with ability, even if he has only read a book for a few years, can be awarded the position of "Scholar". On the contrary, if he is incompetent, even if he passes the exam, he may be awarded the position of "Scholar Office".

This clear system of promotion and clear rewards and punishments has led many students who come to the Administration to end up with this hardship, or who are unwilling to be inferior to their own fame and fortune, and leave.

The initial screening of the Disaster Relief Administration is the conservative dregs.

The group of scholars who can stay will be entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Chongzhen after several years of hardship.

"Students, please see Futai!"

"No gift."

In the front hall of the Zhili Governor's Office, Lu Xiangsheng changed into a Confucian robe and smiled. Looking at the group of scholars in front of him, he felt full of emotion.

Although these scholars of the Administration have not truly entered the official career, in Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, as long as they can pass the layers of assessment, the emperor will eventually reuse them.

Among these administrative officials alone, Lu Xiangsheng found that a group of good talents who could govern a county or even serve as deputy positions in the government were very capable.

Although Lu Xiangsheng didn't know how the emperor would promote this group of administrative officials, Lu Xiangsheng always believed that these group of administrative officials would definitely be valued.

What he had to do was to hone these scholars in the administration for the emperor.

"Today's summoned was a meeting of scholars. Don't bring the customs etiquette in the officialdom." Lu Xiangsheng sat on a chair with his robe and reached out to everyone and said, "The governor's yamen has nothing else, but there are still dozens of chairs to prepare. Let's sit there. We have a lot to talk about this time."

"Here!"

The scholars of the administration led by Yan Yingyuan bowed and saluted one after another, and then gathered in groups of three or five, and several people sat on a chair together.

"Let's talk about Chidao Construction and Water Conservancy Construction first."

Lu Xiangsheng curled his smile, looked around the scholars in front of him and said seriously: "Everyone knows that the Disaster Relief Administration established by Zhili is set up to deal with the disaster situation.

However, as time goes by, there are more and more errands that need to be in charge of the company. After all, these things have never been used in the local area, so they are grouped into the Disaster Relief Administration for the convenience of unified preparation and implementation.

Get back to the point.

The road and water conservancy construction are related to the stability of our prefectures, prefectures and counties in Zhili. Who will explain the situation first in these two groups of scholars?"

"Futai, the students have problems."

Song Xiance stood up, first bowed to Lu Xiangsheng, then nodded slightly to the left and right, and said, "The students are in charge of the water conservancy construction of Daming and Guangping Prefectures.

The most difficult problem during this period is that when coordinating the water conservancy areas of the two places, it will inevitably touch the interests of many local gentry, landlords and other groups. For example, when expanding river channels and surveying reservoirs, it will occupy some people's land and land."

"In response to this issue, Ben Fu has also received many official letters before."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a serious expression: "This is indeed a big problem. If it cannot be solved, it will bring great resistance to the prefectures and counties under the rule of Northern Zhili to coordinate the construction of water conservancy construction.

The Disaster Relief Administration has thought of a few good solutions and formulated some charters. You can take a look first. If you have any different opinions, you can put them out at this meeting.

Yeheng, please call a few people and send the official letters.”

"Here!"

Yan Yingyuan hurriedly stood up and bowed.

Without Yan Yingyuan's name, Chen Mingyu, Fang Yizhi, Li Yan and others stood up and followed Yan Yingyuan to search for the batch of official letters.

The scholar meeting of the Disaster Relief Administration was not supported by the help of the idle people and other people. The sense of participation was emphasized by Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, repeatedly in the Disaster Relief Administration.

At this stage, if there are local disaster relief administrations in the Ming Dynasty, only the three places in northern Zhili, Shandong and Shanxi are not important officials worthy of entrusting. Emperor Chongzhen will not add local disaster relief administrations.

The governor of Zhili Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Shandong Yuan Keli, and the governor of Shanxi Liu Hongxun were all ministers that Emperor Chongzhen relied on and trusted. Emperor Chongzhen felt relieved.
