After talking a lot about military affairs, Feng Ziying also focused on the construction of the Army Officer School and the Naval Officer School and the next steps.

As the second assistant, it is necessary to listen to the introduction in this regard, and Guan Yingzhen is also happy to hear about these aspects.

Gu Bingqian's performance was not very good, and Guan Yingzhen was not very optimistic about it.

If this situation continues, Guan Yingzhen doesn't think Gu Bingqian can stay in this position of chief assistant for too long.

The discord between Huang Ruliang and Gu Bingqian has become more and more obvious. They have been using their wealth in the wrong way for a long time, and now the contradiction is becoming more obvious.

Once this kind of contradiction intensifies to the point where it is difficult to bridge, it will only result in one person leaving.

Gu Bingqian is also constantly wooing and winning over people, but his foundation is not strong. In comparison, Huang Ruliang, who has won almost most of the network resources of Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, is much more stable.

Gu Bingqian was originally asked to take over because he was the second assistant and had a good relationship with Qi Yongtai. In addition, it turned out that Emperor Yonglong had always recognized Gu Bingqian, so he made this arrangement. Now it seems that this arrangement should be a mistake.

But now that Qi Yongtai has retired due to illness, it doesn't make much sense to talk about it anymore.

Once Gu Bingqian can no longer work, Guan Yingzhen believes that he should take over as a matter of course, but will Huang Ruliang agree?

Perhaps he would feel that with the support of the Jiangnan scholars, it would be more appropriate for him to take over. After all, there is still a considerable gap in influence between the Huguang scholars and the Jiangnan scholars. In the hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a Huguang scholar. The position of chief assistant has always rotated between scholars from Jiangnan and northern scholars.

This is also Guan Yingzhen’s biggest worry.

In the last round, Qi Yongtai, a scholar from the North, took over as the first assistant. If Gu Bingqian, a scholar from Jiangnan, did not complete his term, then maybe Huang Ruliang felt that it was his turn to succeed him.

Under this situation, Guan Yingzhen also had to consider how he would respond if Huang Ruliang competed with him for the position of chief assistant once this situation occurred.

According to the rules established by Qi Yongtai when he retired from office, the chief minister will be selected from among the ministers of the previous cabinet unless there are special circumstances. After one or two candidates are determined, the ministers will vote to determine the candidate.

The reason why it is said to be one to two is that if there is a dispute, a consensus cannot be reached in the cabinet.

If a unanimous opinion is formed in the cabinet, then a vote of confidence will be directly given to the important ministers.

With more than half of the votes of confidence, he is directly confirmed as the first assistant.

If the vote of confidence is less than half, then he will definitely not be the first assistant, and another candidate will need to be determined.

If there are two candidates, it will be a vote of important ministers, and the one with more votes wins as the chief minister.

Guan Yingzhen can be sure that Huang Ruliang will definitely not withdraw from the competition for the first assistant, so he will definitely face Huang Ruliang's challenge in the future first assistant vote.

Jiangnan scholars naturally have an advantage among important ministers, such as the Five Temple Ministers, the Tongzhengshi Tongzhengshi, the Duyushi, Deputy Duyuenshi of the Duchayuan, as well as the eight ministers and ministers, a total of thirty-four people, plus There are five cabinet ministers and Shuntian Prefecture Yin, a total of forty people. If the votes of the two are equal, the chief minister's one vote can be counted as two votes.

Among them, the number of scholars from Jiangnan was quite large, only the scholars from Beidi could rival them, and there were only five or six scholars from Huguang.

If only the scholars in Huguang supported him, Guan Yingzhen knew that he would definitely lose. But if he could win the support of some important ministers among the scholars in Beidi, then he would be more confident.

In addition to the scholars from Beidi, Jiangnan and Huguang, there are also two or three scholars from Southwest and Lingnan. These scholars have always been dissatisfied with the scholars from Jiangnan. With this official position, Yingzhen is confident that he can win their support. Therefore, even if not all the northern scholars support him, it is enough if he gets a certain amount of support.

The key to this is Feng Ziying.

The relationship between Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen has never been harmonious, which is a major weakness of Guan Yingzhen.

Now that Qiao Yingjia and Feng Ziying are too junior, it is obviously difficult for them to compete for the position of the next chief assistant, so the choice of the Northland scholars is very critical. Which side they support will basically determine who wins.

Guan Yingzhen didn't think Qiao Yingjia could decide Feng Ziying's attitude. Even if Qiao Yingjia was indeed Feng Ziying's benefactor, Feng Ziying was no longer the Feng Ziying she was a few years ago.

Feng Ziying has his own political ambitions and ideas, which can be seen from the examination method and his views on military affairs.

Whoever supports his wishes more may be able to get his support. If there are differences of opinion among the northern scholars, Qiao Yingjia may not be able to suppress Feng Ziying in the future.

Because of this, Guan Yingzhen was very happy and welcomed Feng Ziying's visit. Especially when Feng Ziying took the initiative to report on military affairs, it made him feel more comfortable.

"Ziying, you can just discuss military affairs with Zhisheng. Some of your views at the last court meeting may be difficult for many people to accept. They think your views are too radical, and they think that although the population is Growth, but floods, droughts, and locust plagues come almost every year, either in the south or in the north, so the population cannot grow that fast. I also think the age increase you mentioned is even more unrealistic. It is very rare for ordinary people to live beyond the age of fifty. …”

Guan Yingzhen was also choosing a suitable topic to further consolidate the relationship with his disciple, "But it is true as you said, everyone still approves of several new crops introduced from Xiyi. It is necessary to establish a new Ministry of Agriculture." , cultivating and breeding new crops with higher yields is a long-term plan, and we must persist in it. We are indeed very accomplished in this area..."

"Zixiangong is indeed experienced in these aspects, but this involves the promotion and promotion of agriculture in the entire Zhou Dynasty. It is necessary to have someone with rich local experience to do some specific work. As far as I know, Shaanxi has done very well in recent years, especially in the promotion of potatoes. Yan'an Prefecture in northern Shaanxi was originally a barren land, with refugees and bandits appearing almost every year. However, the situation has greatly improved in recent years. Geng Ruqi has done this. Lots of facts,..."

Guan Yingzhen realized that Feng Ziying was here to recommend Geng Ruxi. He also knew that both Geng Ruchi and Feng Ziying were from Dongchang Prefecture in Shandong Province. They were considered fellow villagers and had always had a close relationship. Moreover, Geng Ruchi was indeed a capable person.

"But Geng Ruqi is only in the fourth rank. If he wants to join the central government, even if it is a new establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, I'm afraid... what's the attitude of Ziqiang?" Guan Yingzhen said thoughtfully.

"I have talked with Ziqiang Gong, and he thinks it is okay. After all, there are not many people familiar with the Ministry of Agriculture, and Brother Chu Cai has performed well in Chongqing and Yan'an, so he should be reused..." Feng Ziying immediately agreed when he heard that there was something going on. .
