Chapter 1068 Quan Knows About Yanzhou Affairs

It was completely expected that Pang Ji and Liang Shi would step down as prime ministers.

Because everything Wang Yan did must be blamed on them. All kinds of collusion between officials and businessmen, corruption and perversion of the law, and even problems with the military system. Di Qing, who led troops to fight against Nong Zhigao in the far south, was under the influence of the people in Bianjing City. There are a lot of messy things involved, not to mention the two prime ministers who are in charge of the government.

The successors are Chen Zhizhong and Liu Hang. The former is controversial, while the latter has a good relationship with Ouyang Xiu and is considered half one of our own. Of course Wang Yan doesn't care about his own people.

In other words, he doesn't care about his own people above, but cares about his own people below. The prime minister sounds awesome, and of course he is, but this group of people is not as strong as Wang Yan in controlling past power. Everyone is an official who has been in many places for two or three years. Others are highly united with big businesses in various places, but Wang Yan is reshaping the situation.

The so-called honest and good officials only mean building bridges and paving roads, encouraging teachers to teach and cultivate mulberry trees, vigorously pursuing academic studies, and being impartial and strict. In the final analysis, it is to allow the people to take a breather under the heavy exploitation and oppression.

Wang Yan, on the other hand, completely shattered the ecology, built a new balance, strengthened the authority of the government, damaged the surplus of the big households, made up for the shortcomings of the common people, and retained this set of rules.

This is true whether it is Hangzhou or Bianjing. Even in his hometown of Yangzhou, with his guidance and help, the old housekeeper represented him in causing trouble and seizing local power.

Bian Jing's work is no different. Even if he leaves, he can ensure that the Xunyuan Yamen that he transformed will maintain a different appearance than before. After all, he left to take up a position in a local government. He did not lose power and step down, nor did he die. There was still a day when he would come back.

Among the officials, big and small, who have worked under him, whoever dares to destroy the inspection court will be finished if He Saner cuts his flesh...

What's more, he really thinks about the Xunyuan Yamen, because there will definitely not be such a good opportunity to raid homes in the future, which will lead to a huge psychological gap among the people in the Xunyuan Yamen who have received high welfare. As a leader, he naturally has to consider the emotions of his subordinates.

So he intercepted a large amount of land and used it as public land for the Xunyuan Yamen. He also found a few officials at the lowest level, who had small business households in their families, and allocated some money and materials in the name of the Xunyuan Yamen, and gave them to some shops. Let them run businesses as a subsidy for the tens of thousands of people after the reform.

Of course this is against the rules, but so what? Tens of thousands of people from the inspection court were there, and Wang Yanqi's high profile was also there, but even if he wanted to pursue it, he couldn't. Furthermore, there is no reason to pursue it.

The fields were all copied from the Xunyuan Yamen, and the fields withheld by Wang Yan were obtained from the Political Affairs Hall, the Third Division, and Zhao Zhen. He only had one sentence: Why didn't he have so much land when he didn't raid his house? No one answered.

As for other industries, it's even simpler. If we really want to investigate, it would be those small merchants who bought it from the Xunyuan Yamen. Later, they sent money to the Xunyuan Yamen, which was to support the work of the Xunyuan Yamen and donate money to maintain public security in the capital.

It's definitely unreasonable, but it's hard to be unreasonable.

This was what he did after meeting Zhao Zhen that day a year ago. Wang Yan completely stopped the work of implicating arrests and ransacking homes, and implemented the welfare benefits of the Xunyuan Yamen within the fifteen days before the Yuan Festival.

The resignation of Pang Ji and Liang Shi also marked the complete end of Wang Yan's tenure as an envoy, and the complete end of the "Huangyou Case" that caused disasters for officials and big households.

On the same day, Wang Yan was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wai Lang, and was granted the title of Court Minister. He had the power to know the affairs of Yanzhou, and also led the Xiang army. He was appointed as a direct bachelor of Longtuge, and was given a purple uniform.

The official name of Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Industry is the seventh rank. Chao Qinglang is an official of the seventh rank. A direct bachelor of Longtuge, with a title of official position, is from the third rank, while the previous Longtuge candidate was from the fourth rank.

The special gift of purple clothes is to show the emperor's honor and favor. Because the official position is not included in the normal official position. His official official position is that of a seventh-rank official from the Ministry of Industry, and he wears a green official uniform. He is not qualified to wear purple uniforms, which can only be worn by officials of third rank or above. His rank is not high enough. That's why he wanted a 'special gift' to show Zhao Zhen's high regard for him, a good minister.

Quan knew the affairs of Yanzhou and was also in charge of the military affairs of Xiang army, which was his mission. Yanzhou was almost the later Yan'an area, and the administrative office was also in Yan'an, now called Fushi. The reason for this name is that a long time ago, a Xianbei prince named Fushi moved here, and it was very common for places to be named after him.

And now Yanzhou is the bridgehead for the war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia. To know the affairs of the state is to manage the people's livelihood and to lead the army at the same time, which means that he is really given military power.

There is no doubt that as a frontline battlefield in wars with other countries, the Xiang army, which has been abolished at home, can still fight over there. It is definitely not as good as the elite Forbidden Army, but Wang Yan believes that the Hangzhou Xiang Army he organized and trained cannot defeat the Yanzhou Xiang Army, even if the number and armament are the same. That is the gap in combat consciousness. But if the Hangzhou Xiangjun is pulled out to play a few games, it will be hard to say.

The reason why the Xiang Army is a Xiang Army is because it is not yet a Forbidden Army. This may seem like nonsense, but it's true.

But the Hangzhou Xiang army was different. They were all strong warriors who had undergone more systematic training. Moreover, the Hangzhou Xiang army excluded prisoners, and one thousand people were all sons of good families. There is land and property, there is a family and there is a job. This is a guarantee of combat effectiveness and fighting will.

It was no surprise that he was transferred to the northwest this time.

After all, he has a resume of military training, a record of encounters, and proven administrative capabilities. He is not a reckless man without wisdom and only knows how to act recklessly. Anyway, he is capable of doing things and is very courageous. So far, he has not asked anyone to wipe his butt. Instead, he is wiping Da Song's butt.

So instead of letting him stay in Beijing, where everyone is trembling with fear, fearing that he might have a seizure one day and cause another big case, it would be better to send him to the northwest for trouble. He is capable and can make money, and maybe he can create a different situation. Zhao Zhen will not have a reputation for treating loyal ministers poorly. Everyone will be safe and can return to the way they were before.

Anyway, if there is no need, everyone has made a tacit decision to let Wang Yan stay outside. He will never be allowed to enter Beijing, let alone take charge. This is good for everyone.

Wang Yan knew their thoughts very well, but he did not reject them. After all, his official position has been rising, and his prestige has also been rising. When he reached the road level, it didn't matter what others said. After all, there is still no way to compare the resources of a city with those of a province.

Although the Song Dynasty was a state-county system, and the officials at the road level were not that awesome, it still depended on who was doing it.

Not only did he not reject it, but he was quite happy to go to the Northwest. When he gets there and cleans up everything, he will have a big head in the army...

At the Runan County Prince's Mansion, Wang Yan let go of Zhao Zongshi's wrist with a smile and said: "The general has taken good care of himself. Just maintain the status quo in the future."

"Thanks to you, I haven't had any headaches for a month and have become much more stable." Zhao Zongshi smiled and nodded, then asked, "I heard that you want to know about Yanzhou?"

"yes."

"Although peace talks were held during the Qing Dynasty, border disputes have continued in recent years..."

"General, it's better not to worry about these things." Wang Yan did not let him continue.

Zhao Zongshi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's better not to worry..."

He had no interest at all, so he stood up and bowed to Wang Yan as a thank you and a farewell, and then left with his wife.

Zhao Yunrang smiled and said: "When you go to the northwest this time, you are probably holding back your energy to fight Xixia, right?"

"The prince said it was wrong. Now that peace has been negotiated, how can we talk about fighting? I have never led an army to fight, so I dare not act rashly. If it ruins the important affairs of our court, even death will not be able to atone for it. It is just a minor provocation. That’s it. This is a common thing at the border between the two countries.”

"You can stir up chaos in the capital even as an envoy. If you go to the northwest, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No one can control you. You don't know what you will do. I tell you, you still have to be careful. If you don't It would lead to a full-scale war, which would be bad.”

"Why, the prince is also concerned about state affairs?"

"I care more about the health of the officials." Zhao Yunrang licked his old face and blinked his old eyes, which actually looked cute, which was really uncomfortable.

Wang Yan shook his head in a funny way: "I still say the same thing, I can't say it."

"I know it even if you don't tell me. I remember that when you first came to Beijing, you told the officials that you wanted to quit sex, but as far as I know, the officials still had sex frequently. You said you wanted to abstain from sex for half a year, I'm afraid the situation is not good. …”

"Your Majesty, there is no need to test me. I will definitely not say anything more." Wang Yan bowed his hands and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to return to the capital once I leave. Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty."

"I have a meal and a fight with wine. Don't worry about it. Just go..."

Zhao Yunrang waved his hand, and his words were a bit sad. He really felt that Wang Yan was a good person. The two of them had a good temper and got along easily. Of course he knew Wang Yan's situation, he didn't know how long he could live, and he really didn't know if he would see her again in this life.

Wang Yan bowed again and left to meet Feng Jing.

Feng Jing's sense of presence is still low, and the two of them have not seen each other a few times in Beijing. Mainly because what Wang Yan did was so big that his father-in-law kept a distance from him, so he didn't cause any trouble to Feng Jing. Feng Jing took the initiative to ask him for a drink, but he didn't respond much.

Now that I have to leave, I still need to meet my friends.

The two of them didn't say anything. They just reminisced about the time when they were preparing for the exam together, sighed about how awesome Wang Yan was doing in Beijing, and then discussed academic matters.

This is what Wang Yan did recently. He took the time to publish his second book.

Originally, we planned to wait until the basic work of the patrol was completed and classes started at the academy in the capital before sending them out at that time. However, the development of things was somewhat unexpected. His awesomeness made it difficult for him to survive in the capital. Regardless of whether he was promoted, in fact everyone knew that he was expelled from Beijing.

So he took advantage of the final touches to distribute his book.

Of course he could send it before, but he was very busy at that time. At least others thought he was busy and was working on state affairs. If he published a whole academic book, he would be somewhat disrespectful to Zhao Zhen.

You have a lot of energy, but you also have to hide it. After all, Zhao Zhen intended to suppress him. He was already capable of tossing people around. If he was still full of energy, it would be quite disturbing to look at an emperor who was already weakening and on the decline of his life. The emperor was upset, and the people who worked for the emperor were naturally affected. After all, Wang Yan was only under twenty-three years old this year.

As a person who continuously promotes himself, and as the most popular person in the officialdom in recent years, he has published a new book and has great influence. A person's knowledge should be applied to how he behaves.

Although Wang Yan has some controversy among scholars due to the establishment of prisons and the practice of collective punishment, no one will deny that Wang Yan is awesome. His family background, his resume, and his deeds have long been well known. Everyone in the world knows that Wang Yan relies on his own ability.

Just like the role of martial arts secrets in martial arts stories, scholars hope that they can be as awesome as Wang Yan after reading, studying, and thinking about Wang Yan's knowledge.

But this is obviously impossible. If Wang Yan didn't have a living father, he wouldn't be so awesome...

In short, Wang Yan's new book, with his awesome deeds, has already set off some craze. The reason why it failed to form a big academic storm is still Wang Yan himself.

After all, the people he arrested were all from the ruling class, and basically the scholars in Bianjing were captured and beheaded. All the previous romantic figures went to the northwest before him...

After reuniting with Feng Jing, he sent Sheng Hong and his family away. Sheng Hong was really scared by Wang Yan, and he really didn't want to stay in the capital. He decided to take the job of the governor of Dengzhou, and left just a few days after the Yuan Festival.

Wang Yan was not in a hurry, and stayed at home with his wife and children for a few more days.

The atmosphere at home was not very good. Because the children were still young, Hualan and Shulan could not go with them, so they had to separate for a while. When the children were older, they would take the children there.

There are times to get together and times to separate, and it is always time to leave.

Hualan and Shulan helped Wang Yan pack up his things. Hualan complained: "In the past, I was not in a hurry to take office. Why are you rushing people to leave this time?"

Wang Yan shook her head with a smile: "Isn't it because my husband is too powerful? People in this Bianjing city are afraid of me. They can't rest assured if I don't leave for a day."

"Sir, will we be surrounded and killed on the way?" Shulan asked with concern.

"Don't worry, no one can kill me. Instead, you two should stay safe in Beijing, be careful, and don't get involved in anything. It's not that I'm afraid of trouble, but it affects my mood. The Wang family and the Kang family are far away, and if anyone dares to cause trouble or have bad intentions, just ask Youyin to take my post to the inspection office, and they will have their own difficulties.

If the general's wife comes to see you, don't worry, just have a normal relationship, and it won't affect the storage of the family..."

Wang Yan explained various precautions, looking at his wife and concubine who seemed to be about to cry at any time, and smiled, "It will only take about a year to get together, don't worry. I will leave tomorrow, it's not auspicious to cry today. Okay, everything is packed, let's rest early."

"Sir and Madam, go, I'll see if there is anything missing." Shulan is very considerate and doesn't fight or compete.

Wang Yan has always been fair, and he took Shulan with him: "What else can be left out? There are also our own properties over there, and we have everything."

Shulan was so confused, Hualan shook her head, and didn't say anything after all, and the three of them arrived at Hualan's yard...

The next day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and Zui Yi was traveling far away.

Under the reluctant gaze of Hualan and Shulan, under the little hands of the two unlucky sons who were not sure why, under the distant gaze of Feng Jing and some officials of the patrol office, and amid the celebrations in various places in the city, Wang Yan took Xiao Dongliang and several strong servants, and followed a long line of merchants to the northwest...

I would like to thank the good brothers who voted for the monthly ticket, recommended the ticket, and read the book silently for their strong support!
