Feng Ziying knew very well that her stay in Beijing would not be too long, only a month at most.
He needed to seize the time to write out some outlines of local economic development that he combined with Zhang Juzheng's "Kaocheng Law" of the previous Ming Dynasty and later generations, and handed it over to Qi Yongtai and Lian Guoqian.
Lian Guoshi was already a fourth-rank official, he came from a distinguished family, and he was seven or eight years older than himself. More importantly, he was a top scholar and was supported by Qi Yongtai, so he could be promoted to a third-rank official in Shaanxi first. If he accepts his participation in politics as the Provincial Envoy, and then waits for a year and a half before returning to the Ministry of Personnel, he can consider taking over the position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. In this way, he will have a strong helping hand in the Ministry of Personnel.
Qi Yongtai's next step is to be the first assistant, and his main focus should be on presiding over the government. Reform of the official system is of course important, and he will provide sufficient support, but specific operations still require people. Feng Ziying is optimistic about You Chaike to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs, and Gao Panlong Qingjun is old-fashioned and a typical representative of Jiangnan gentry. He is not from the same family as him and is not suitable for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. However, it is not easy to remove Gao Panlong from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites, so he still needs to find opportunities.
If Chai Ke serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and practices state affairs as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, then some of his ideas on improving the administration of officials can be implemented.
Of course, this is just an ideal consideration. Gao Panlong will not leave easily unless he is allowed to join the cabinet. But now the cabinet is overcrowded, and it is not easy to move any of them. The difficulty here is not small.
It has been more than ten years since I arrived in this world. It seems that I am walking very fast and steadily, but I still feel that I have made little contribution to the development and changes of this world. It seems that everything is the same as before, and even Jianzhou Jurchen is still a serious problem. , which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The theory goes that he has reached a high position that many scholars cannot reach in their lifetime, but he still feels that many times his strength is not used, and countless constraints restrain him, making it difficult for him to move forward. Looking at the situation around him Both anxious and powerless.
Feng Ziying understands that this is the mental anxiety caused by her being a time traveler. She is fully aware of the general trend of historical development, especially the increasing pressure from the West and Russia squeezing China from several directions. She has responsibilities and obligations. We must make China's historical development move faster.
But a person's power is always limited. As the saying goes, a hero has three gangs and a fence has three stakes. I have tried my best to cultivate comrades and allies, but I still feel that the steps are difficult. This kind of Feelings of loneliness and powerlessness are frustrating.
Fortunately, he is surrounded by countless beauties, and his goal of working hard for beauty is not bad, otherwise this time traveler would really be a failure.
After having dinner at Qi Yongtai's place, Feng Ziying returned home full of thoughts and exhaustion.
Feng Ziying had already put hot water in the huge wooden barrel. Only by taking a good hot bath could she wash away some fatigue and dust.
Feng Ziying even fell asleep lying in the hot water bucket.
No one bothered her. Only Yu Chuan'er came quietly to add a spoonful of hot water to the bucket from time to time to maintain the water temperature in the bucket and prevent Feng Ziying from catching cold.
I don't know how long I slept before Feng Ziying slowly woke up.
Hearing the sound of Feng Ziying coming out of the water, sisters Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er came out to wipe his body clean and tie up his clothes, "Grandma's are all waiting for me in the hall."
After returning unexpectedly from the front line, Shen Yixiu and the others would certainly not believe that the imperial court was sympathetic to their husband's hard work, and that the war in Hebei was going smoothly, but something unexpected happened in Liaodong. They could all guess that the imperial court had other ideas.
The husband's qualities as a fire brigade seem to be deeply remembered by the big shots in the DPRK and China at all times, and they will think of him immediately.
Nodding, Feng Ziying arrived at the former Rongxi Hall, which has now been transformed into the Shanshui Hall. Feng Ziying thought the name was a bit vulgar, but Shen Yixiu felt that benevolent people love mountains and wise men enjoy water, which is good, so it is Shanshui Hall.
After sitting down, the girls remained silent and looked at Feng Ziying eagerly.
Feng Ziying had no choice but to cough dryly: "Maybe everyone knows that I will do nothing good when I come back, and the court officials will not think of me if they do good things. They only think of me when they need to solve emergencies. But who asked your husband to become an official? Where is this path?"
Dai Yuqiong wrinkled her nose, "Then we can't keep moving my husband around like a chess piece. If something goes wrong, let my husband take care of it. The war in Hebei is about to be finished again, and my husband is gone." , who still remembers?”
Feng Ziying laughed, "That's not the case. The Hebei occupying cabinet knows very well that if it is not already close, it will not let my husband leave easily. However, the situation in Liaodong is very serious and has reached the point where decisive measures have to be taken once and for all. So the cabinet Only then will the princes repeatedly consider letting their husbands take on this important responsibility."
Shen Yixiu's eyes were calm, "My lord, the situation in the Liaodong war cannot be reversed overnight. I heard that your lord is to completely solve the Jurchen scourge of Jianzhou? Then my lord, have you considered how many years it will take? Three years, five years, or ten years?"
This issue is also the issue that all the women in the mansion are most concerned about.
This is not something that can be solved in one or two years like going to Hebei or Shaanxi or Jiangnan. The Jurchens in Jianzhou have brought increasing pressure to the Zhou Dynasty over the years. Even the common people know that, and the people in Beijing are even more sensitive. As long as it is The urgent reports from Shanhaiguan basically indicate that there is a situation on the Liaodong border.
Moreover, it is bitterly cold in Liaodong. If her husband leaves for a few years, Shen Xuelin and the others may have to consider following him instead of just asking his concubine to accompany him.
Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, and he did not hide his intentions from his wives. "The most optimistic view is more than three years. My preliminary estimate is that if the court's support can meet my requirements, I hope to have a satisfactory result within five years. If the court's support There are some twists and turns, maybe eight or ten years is hard to say.”
Even based on the five-year calculation, it means that the husband will not be in Beijing for five years.
No matter Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai or Lin Daiyu, it is difficult for them to accept this long separation. Even if they can't go now, they will definitely go to Liaodong if the conditions are right later.
Seeing that the girls were silent for a while, they were obviously not in a high mood, and Feng Ziying could understand.
In the few years since they got married, I have never had a peaceful life. I am an official in the capital in name, but I am always traveling around. I rarely stay in the capital for more than half a year, even when I am in charge of Shuntian Mansion. Cheng, I often travel to Bianzhou County, and I may not return home for several days.
"The worries and reluctance of all ladies, I feel the same for my husband, but I remember a saying, if you only care about the life and death of the country, how can you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings? Since we were born in this era, we naturally have to take care of the country, the country, and the people. How can you be trapped in your home because of your long love for your children? I believe that even if you are reluctant to let go, you ladies will definitely support your husband’s decision..."
If you want to benefit the country whether you live or die, how can you avoid it due to misfortunes or blessings? As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Xuelin and even the girls Baoqin, Xiangyun, and Tanchun all had strange lights in their eyes.
In fact, Feng Ziying had said this sentence before inadvertently, but she had never said it in front of the women. It can be said that the spirit and pattern of the world being for the public contained in this sentence made Shen Xuelin and other women... My heart is beating for it.
No matter how selfish a woman is, she can never be unmoved or excited about her husband's ambition to conquer the world.
In particular, the three of them, Shen Xue Lin, have always regarded their husbands as the most extraordinary men in the world, taking it as their own responsibility to shoulder the rise and fall of the world. Therefore, even if they can play a little temper and act coquettishly in the inner house, they are all supportive and trusting outside. Of course, as for their husband's sexual exploits with women outside, they don't even take them to heart.
No matter which woman is a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people, she can't beat the three wives they are marrying, and they are fully confident in this.
Seeing that his two words really impressed the three daughters of Shen Xuelin and other women, Feng Ziying felt relieved and had no worries about the family. She could also devote herself wholeheartedly to the battle with Nurhaci. Now Nurhaci has captured Shenyang, and Liaoyang is also in danger. Once Liaoyang is lost, it will be difficult to regain Liaodong.
Therefore, he must use Liaoyang as a base to reorganize the offensive against Shenyang. At the same time, he must use Jiuliancheng as the other hand to strike hard at the foundation of the Jianzhou Jurchens, making it difficult for them to take care of themselves. This is the only way Only then can the Jianzhou Jurchens be dragged to death until this scourge is eliminated.
"Since my husband has such great ambitions and has made up his mind, how can I and my sisters dare to disturb my husband's wish? All I can do is take care of my husband's house, take care of my children, and silently wish my husband to fight the enemy bravely in the front in order to be able to Let’s realize our ambition as husband and wife as soon as possible.”
Shen Yixiu exchanged glances with Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, and said calmly and firmly.
Xue and Lin also nodded in agreement with Shen Yixiu's statement, and the other concubines behind the three women also expressed their support.
For a time, the hall was filled with bright purples and reds, and there was an endless stream of birds singing. Feng Ziying was not only surprised, but also very excited. With the strong support of such beauties and confidants, he had nothing to worry about. It was only for three to five years. He can still bear it.
However, Feng Ziying also knew that her trip to Liaodong was not only to conduct a military operation, but also to reform the entire Liaodong Town system and even the entire army.
Only an army that implements its intentions from beginning to end can truly enforce its orders and prohibitions in war and win this difficult battle, and he still has a lot of work to do before that.
