Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty, the inclusion of Gaochang State into the territory of Daqin has already meant its destruction. Although I led troops to attack Gaochang, it was not involved in the specific government affairs of the DPRK, nor the transfer of personnel. Therefore, all arrangements for Gaochang are decided by the imperial court. that is."
Ying Jiuxiao was very casual and waved his hand: "You kid, don't hide it and say what you think."
Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty, Gaochang actually doesn't have much to do. As long as we arrange for people to go and manage it, and then arrange for a general to lead the army to garrison the place. In this way, Gaochang will be stable and there won't be any other problems. As for the candidates, I don't know. I’m really not familiar with the government affairs of the imperial court.”
Lin Feng was unwilling to interfere with Gaochang's personnel arrangements.
Gaochang had just been captured and arranged for people to serve, which may involve the appointment of candidates for factions in the court. Even if Da Qin has Ying Jiuxiao and there is no such party struggle, it is impossible to avoid the struggle for interests.
Lin Feng was unwilling to intervene.
His purpose is simple, to help Great Qin become stronger, then conquer Xia Kingdom, and take revenge.
Ying Jiuxiao laughed, but his approval increased. Lin Feng conquered Gaochang in one battle and was neither arrogant nor impatient, which is indeed good.
"You boy, you are so naughty."
"That's all, if you don't tell me, I won't force you."
Ying Jiuxiao turned his gaze, landed on Zhang Yi, and asked: "Zhang Yi, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. You are responsible for the transfer, assessment, promotion and demotion of all officials. What do you think Gaochang should do? arrange?"
It has actually been mentioned before.
At that time, Ying Jiuxiao said that he wanted to ask Lin Feng.
Let’s look at Lin Feng’s opinion.
Lin Feng didn't accept this, so Ying Jiuxiao looked at Zhang Yi again. After all, Zhang Yi was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Zhang Yi said slowly: "Reporting to your majesty, since Gaochang State has been included in the Qin Dynasty, it should abide by the rules of the Qin Dynasty. The veteran believes that if Gaochang establishes a state, then Gaochang Prefecture should be established. According to the information obtained, there is Yiwu under Gaochang. City, Jinman City, and Gaochang City were directly changed to the land of three counties, followed by the counties."
"This is the specific framework."
"After the big framework is set up, the next step is to fill in the personnel. In particular, the establishment of a state governor. As long as there is a state governor and there are Mongolian troops stationed in Gaochang Prefecture, it will naturally be implemented step by step."
Zhang Yi said: "I believe that if the outline is laid out and the general direction is set, everything will not be so difficult."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Where is the candidate?"
Zhang Yi said: "Reporting to your majesty, Gaochang Prefecture is located in the Western Regions. To arrange the candidate for the governor of Gaochang, it is best to be someone who is familiar with the situation in Gaochang. Of course, we in Daqin do not have such a person. To take a step back, it is best to be someone who governs the border areas. , it is most suitable to serve as the governor of Gaochang."
"The idea of a humble position is to transfer Li Dongshan, the governor of Liangzhou, to serve in Gaochang. This is a smooth transfer and a test."
Lin Feng was quite surprised when he heard this.
Zhang Yi suggested transferring Li Dongshan, who had just become the governor of Liangzhou.
Lin Feng thought in his heart.
In a blink of an eye, he understood.
What Zhang Yi did was tantamount to betraying Lin Feng. Gaochang had just been incorporated into the Qin Dynasty, and everything was prosperous. Li Dongshan went to Gaochang to work, and it was very easy to achieve political achievements.
Ying Jiuxiao said in a deep voice: "After Li Dongshan's transfer, where is the candidate for Liangzhou governor who has been vacated?"
Zhang Yi said again: "When it comes to the governor of Liangzhou, in the opinion of the veteran, Cui Zhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, can be transferred to serve. Cui Zhi once served as the prefect of Shu County in the local area and had outstanding political achievements. Then, he was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the middle of the court. Over the years, his ability has been outstanding. Therefore, sending Cui Zhi to Liangzhou to take charge of the local area will definitely stabilize the local area."
After Wang Tang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, Cui Zhi was his.
Cui Zhi was transferred to Liangzhou to serve as governor. What's more, his son was also serving as the prefect of Weiwei County in Liangzhou.
It means that this is beneficial to Wang Tang.
Wang Tang did not express his position. He was still waiting to see what Zhang Yi planned.
Ying Jiuxiao only cares about the overall situation, and Cui Zhi knows that he is indeed capable. If such a person wants to take a further step in the central government, he must be sent out to serve as a feudal official and undergo thorough training before he can serve in the central government again.
"That's right, let Cui Zhi go to Liangzhou to serve as governor."
Ying Jiuxiao continued: "The left minister of household affairs is vacant. Who do you think is suitable for the position?"
Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty, the situation of the Ministry of Hubu is quite special. If you don't understand the situation of the Ministry of Hubu, it will be embarrassing for you. The choice of candidates in this regard depends on Wang Shangshu's opinion. He is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu, so he understands the situation of the Ministry of Hubu."
Wang Tang immediately took the words and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Revenue mainly take charge of the overall situation. The specific accounting is done by the subordinates below. The selection of ministers depends first on loyalty, character, and ability, etc. . As long as you have the will, there is nothing you can’t do. Therefore, Zhang Shangshu’s opinion should prevail.”
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Zhang Yi, who do you think is suitable?"
Zhang Yi turned his eyes, fell on Lin Feng, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think it is more suitable to be a marquis of the state. He used to serve as a county magistrate in the local area and was responsible for the implementation of the system of allotment. Now he has returned to the court.中, I will no longer be in office for the time being, and I think there should be an arrangement."
"Furthermore, this year's large-scale implementation of allotment of people into mu is also in need of people who understand it. The Marquis of Zhen Guo is familiar with the policy of allotment of mu and it is appropriate for him to serve as the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Especially the Marquis of Zhen Guo has made great contributions , and should be rewarded.”
"It is completely feasible to promote and appoint him as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please give me permission."
Lin Feng was surprised.
Zhang Yi is really a bit powerful, directly involving him, even this is another sign of goodwill.
This is a benefit to Lin Feng.
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs, this is an important position. The next step is to go to the local government to serve as a feudal official, or be promoted to a minister.
Ying Jiuxiao asked: "Lin Feng, what's your opinion?"
Lin Feng knew that it was very important for him to marry his wife. He thought about it and said directly: "In everything, follow His Majesty's orders."
He has begun to intervene in the affairs of the DPRK, and official positions in the DPRK are inevitable. So Ying Jiuxiao made an arrangement, and Lin Feng didn't refuse.
Ying Jiuxiao stroked his beard and said: "Since Lin Feng is willing, the matter is settled. Lin Feng will serve as the left minister of the household department."
"I obey the decree."
Lin Feng bowed and answered.
Ying Jiuxiao changed the subject and continued: "Back to the topic, let's talk about another matter, which involves the large number of refugees from the Xia Kingdom pouring into the border of Great Qin. Since the end of last year, the number of refugees from the Xia Kingdom pouring into the Great Qin has increased. .”
"We have discussed it several times in the court, but there is no suitable result. This matter is entrusted to the prince, and the East Palace is also discussing it. Now that you are all here, let's discuss how to solve it."
"Prince, please tell Dong Palace's opinion first."
Ying Yuqian stood up, bowed and bowed, and said slowly: "Father, regarding the refugees from the Xia Kingdom. The unified opinion of the East Palace is to accept these refugees from the Xia Kingdom and resettle them in a unified way. Even if the refugees are resettled, it will be a big blow to the Qin Dynasty. There are huge financial problems. But accepting these people has shown our attitude."
"Xia Guo, nothing more than that."
"Xia Guo is not untouchable."
"The refugees from the Xia Kingdom have all gathered in Da Qin, which shows that our Great Qin's destiny has returned. What else can we not do to attack the Xia Kingdom in the future? What's more, with the help of the refugees, it shows that the destiny of the Xia Kingdom has already been In the past. It’s time for a suzerain state like Xia State to be destroyed."
Ying Yuqian looked extremely determined.
When he was with Zhang Yi, he asked because he wanted to hear Zhang Yi's opinion. Unfortunately, Zhang Yi wanted to be safe and was unwilling to express his position at all.
This does not mean that Ying Yuqian has no opinion.
After hearing this, Ying Jiuxiao nodded and said nothing more. Then he looked at Wang Tang and said, "Wang Tang, what is the Hubu's point of view?"
Wang Tang said: "Your Majesty, the finances of the Ministry of Revenue are still very difficult. On the one hand, after accepting a group of Xia State refugees, how to arrange the next batch of Xia State refugees? Too many people will be trouble. On the other hand, When people come, not only do we need to allocate money for relief, but we also need to arrange a place for them to stay.”
"It's a troublesome matter when it comes to demarcating fields. In short, it will be extremely difficult for Da Qin's finances to handle this matter properly. I have an opposing opinion here. Of course, I also know the benefits mentioned by the prince. Acceptance and non-acceptance have their own pros and cons."
"For our department, it's the lesser of two evils, and not accepting it is the outcome the department can accept."
When it comes to money, Wang Tang feels overwhelmed.
This is the hardest thing for him.
He understands the benefits of acceptance. The problem is that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. When he is in charge of his political affairs, he must consider the Ministry of Revenue. Great Qin's finances have just improved a little, and now they have to accept more people. How can they afford it?
Ying Jiuxiao nodded, but still did not express his position. He looked at Zhang Yi again and asked, "Zhang Yi, what do your officials think?"
Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty, the opinion of the Eastern Palace is considered reasonable by the veteran. The issue mentioned by the King of the Ministry of Revenue is also considered appropriate by the veteran. There are pros and cons for the refugees of the Xia Kingdom in Da Qin, and it is difficult for the veteran to weigh it for a while. It is entirely up to your majesty."
When Lin Feng saw this scene, he felt his eyes were opened.
Previously, the arrangement of candidates for the court was the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhang Yi made decisive arrangements. Moreover, Zhang Yi's arrangements were watertight, handling the transfer of local personnel, and selling Lin Feng and Wang Tang's benefits. At the same time, the emperor's needs were met.
Such people are very powerful.
Taking care of all aspects and making you appreciate it. It's just that now, when it comes to the specific resettlement of Xia's refugees, it is not a matter for the Ministry of Personnel, so Zhang Yi just throws it out.
This is Zhang Yi's method again.
It's not my business, I won't get involved.
Lin Feng understood immediately why Zhang Yi was the immortal man in the Qin Dynasty's political arena. This person is extremely wise and sober, and he doesn't get involved in anything that shouldn't be involved.
Ying Jiuxiao did not question Zhang Yi, but turned to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, tell me, what is your suggestion?"
Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty, I agree."
This time, he did not sit back and watch. When it came to the selection of the governor of Gaochang, he did not make arrangements. That was because it was difficult to arrange. When it comes to refugees, this is a specific matter that must be dealt with.
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and said, "What did you think about it?"
Lin Feng said: "I agree with Donggong's opinion that the refugees should be accepted. This will do more harm than good."
Ying Jiuxiao asked: "What do you think of the issues Wang Tang mentioned?"
Lin Feng thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, actually this is not a difficult problem. The refugees from Xia Kingdom have come, and it is indeed difficult and inappropriate to arrange them in Guanzhong. On the one hand, Guanzhong and other parts of Daqin do not have so much land. , to resettle these refugees.”
"On the other hand, perhaps among these refugees, there are hidden stooges of the Xia Kingdom who want to stir up trouble in Guanzhong. So the easiest way is to move them to Gaochang Prefecture. Gaochang Prefecture has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas, and many places have If you can farm, you can live.”
"These refugees from the Xia Kingdom moved to Gaochang Prefecture. On the one hand, they resettled the people. On the other hand, they further strengthened the control of Gaochang Prefecture. For Da Qin, Gaochang Prefecture surrendered. However, many people in Gaochang Prefecture did not necessarily surrender sincerely. "
"So, further control is needed."
"When the refugees from the Xia Kingdom entered Da Qin, they would no longer miss their homeland, and they had no intention of helping the Xia Kingdom. When they came to Da Qin, they became the people of Da Qin. When it comes to foreign affairs, these people from the Xia Kingdom will naturally stand on their side. Da Qin’s side.”
"In that case, why not move a steady stream of refugees from the Xia Kingdom into Gaochang Prefecture? If we give them the conditions of being exempted from land tax for five years and provide some other policy support, countless people will be willing to go."
The foundation of the people is the land.
With land, there is a basis for survival. Why did the refugees from the Xia Kingdom flee into the Qin Dynasty?
On the one hand, there are natural and man-made disasters, constant droughts and floods, and the court continues to collect exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes; on the other hand, the people have no land in their hands and no basis for survival. A large amount of land was annexed, and the people had no choice but to leave their homeland.
Ying Jiuxiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "Okay, okay, as expected of you, boy, this move is great. It's a very good way to relocate the people. With this step, the next step will be to control Gaochang more and more." The stronger.”
After Ying Yuqian heard this, he was also happy.
As expected of Lin Feng.
As soon as he took action, the problem was solved.
Without Gaochang Prefecture, it would be difficult to relocate the people. With Gaochang Prefecture, there can naturally be a steady stream of migration.
This is a good way to control Gaochang.
Zhang Yi also had a flash of light in his eyes.
Lin Feng is indeed amazing.
Ying Jiuxiao was happy that he had solved the problem. He flicked his sleeves and said, "As for the issue of refugees, it has been decided like this. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue will take the lead to handle the matter well and arrange it as soon as possible."
"Here!"
Zhang Yi and Wang Tang answered in unison.
Ying Jiuxiao made a decision, and they could only follow the order.
Ying Jiuxiao looked at Ying Yuqian again and said: "Since the leader of Gaochang State, Qu Yan, and the prince, Qu Yong, have arrived in Da Qin, they have to make arrangements and arrange their duties. Dong Gong Lai will be responsible for taking the lead in this matter. .”
"My son, I obey."
Ying Yuqian answered again.
To him, this is nothing. Anyway, if he arranges it, someone in the East Palace will naturally arrange it.
Ying Jiuxiao said something about Lin Feng's triumphant return, and then said no more, waving his hands and saying: "Okay, let's all go down. During this time, Lin Feng will have some rest first, and then go to the Ministry of Household Affairs Take office.”
"Here!"
Lin Feng answered directly.
Now he has officially entered the imperial court, unlike when he served as county magistrate before, which was because he wanted to reform.
Now, Lin Feng is really working in Da Qin.
Ying Jiuxiao waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's all go back. Especially Lin Feng, go back and take a good look at the child."
"I excuse myself."
Ying Yuqian, Lin Feng, Zhang Yi and Wang Tang left together.
The four of them chatted. After leaving the imperial city, Lin Feng mounted his horse and returned to the Lin family.
This trip will take another month or two.
He missed home, his wife and children.
