No matter how many ministers refused to cooperate, the Dazhi Dynasty finally ushered in the New Deal, but the first step was to clear the father-in-law first.
This matter is quite difficult. There are powerful people everywhere. Not to mention the new policies that will follow, just the step of clearing the abbot will be full of obstacles.
After consulting his father-in-law, Cheng Jingzhou finally decided to ask for a transfer.
Nowadays, the matter of clearing the father-in-law is receiving the attention of the Holy One, and it is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, so Cheng Jingzhou wants to do some practical things for the people.
This time, Xie Xiuwen supported him.
Emperor Jingwen was worried about the shortage of manpower. Now Cheng Jingzhou took the initiative to request the order, which was exactly what he wanted.
"You should be familiar with the territory of Feng County, so go to Feng County and take up the post of county magistrate."
Feng County belongs to Jingzhao Prefecture. According to the law of Dazhi, all county magistrates under Jingzhao Prefecture are in the sixth grade.
This means that Cheng Jingzhou will be promoted within a year of winning the top prize.
Of course, although the rank of this position is high, it is also far away from the capital, and many newcomers are not willing to go there.
Not only was Cheng Jingzhou going to work in Feng County, but Xie Xiuqi, who had previously served in Jingzhao Mansion, had been moved to Feng County by Xie Xiuwen to serve as county magistrate a few months ago.
Feng County belongs to Shang County and is subordinate to Jingzhao Prefecture, so the county magistrate is the eighth rank.
This means that Xie Xiuqi was promoted from the ninth grade to the eighth grade at once, which was a three-level promotion in a row.
Although he is far away from Jingzhao Mansion, he has been promoted!
When the news came back to Gaoyang County, Uncle Xie was so happy that he had half a bowl of more rice.
Now that Cheng Jingzhou is going to take up a post in Feng County, it is not a black eye. After all, Xie Xiuqi has already taken the lead, and Chen Bo also had connections when he was in Feng County. It is not difficult for Cheng Jingzhou to go to Feng County to take up a post.
However, for Feng County, having such a young county magistrate is worthy of being discussed.
Xie Xiuqi only rented a house in the capital back then. Now that he has come to Feng County, when he inquired about the housing price, he thought he could buy a place to live.
Xie Xiuqi has not been hanging out in Jingzhao Mansion for nothing in the past few years. He occasionally acts as Xie Xiuwen's eyes and ears. In addition, Liu Ruolan is also willing to help them. When the Fang family ran to the border before, they also let them participate. share.
Now Xie Xiuqi has also saved some money. Although it is not a lot, it is more than enough to buy a yard in Feng County.
Coincidentally, the Zuoxiao Guard Camp where Xie Rongen is located is also less than twenty miles away from Fengxian County. This is simply too comfortable!
Cheng Jingzhou originally wanted to go to the North or further south, but Xie Xiuwen felt it was inappropriate. Weng and his son-in-law discussed this for several days. In the end, Cheng Jingzhou had to choose Feng County.
It's not that Xie Xiuwen is unwilling to let him go far away, but the situation in Feng County is not optimistic now. Although Feng County is barely at the feet of the emperor, in fact, the powerful people in Feng County have changed several times in recent years, which has caused harm to the common people. It is becoming more and more obvious.
Although Feng County belongs to Jingzhao Prefecture, it is still separated from the capital by Liang County, and Feng County is still under the influence of Jiahua County Lord.
Jingzhao Mansion will not give any prince or nobleman a fiefdom. After all, this is an important place in the capital.
But the Jiahua County Princess was different. Her father was a county king. Before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he died because of saving the Holy Emperor's life.
Because of this, Emperor Jingwen always felt that he owed his cousin, so after he ascended the throne, he made his daughter the head of Jiahua County.
Because the main body of Jiahua County was weak, her husband died in the border battle only a few years after the marriage, which once again put the head of Jiahua County in a helpless situation.
Emperor Jingwen couldn't bear it, so he issued an order to allocate ten hectares of land from Feng County to her, hoping that this would allow the Lord of Jiahua County to support their mother and son.
In fact, the main reason why Emperor Jingwen allocated ten hectares of fertile land to her in Feng County was because he felt he owed her a lot.
At that time, the county prince was young and had only one daughter and one son. Not long after his death, the son also died of illness. In this way, the only bloodline of the Jiahua County Lord was left.
However, the Lord of Jiahua County was not very lucky. Within a few years, her husband disappeared again, which made the Holy Emperor especially pity her.
In fact, although the Dazhi Dynasty emphasized the protection of men and women, it always encouraged childbirth, especially widows to remarry. However, the head of Jiahua County was deeply in love with her husband and was unwilling to remarry. It took several years to find a good son-in-law. .
This good son-in-law was eight years younger than the Lord of Jiahua County and had a clean family background. It was said that he missed the provincial examination because of illness, so after marrying the Lord of Jiahua County, he was recommended to the court as an official by her.
The remarriage of the head of Jiahua County was only two years ago. At that time, Chen Bo was no longer working in Feng County, so he didn't know much about some of the subsequent affairs. However, he heard about it occasionally, so he communicated with Xie Xiuwen. gas.
Xie Xiuwen knew very well that the Jiahua County Lord seemed powerless in the court, but in fact the two men who had passed away were her biggest reliance.
Relying on those two dead people, the Holy Emperor will definitely protect the Lord Jiahua County. Therefore, no matter who is sent to serve, they must be prepared in all aspects.
Although Feng County is not the fiefdom of Jiahua County Lord, since the Holy Emperor allocated ten hectares of land to her, this is enough to make Jiahua County Lord the largest landowner in Feng County. Not only that, Jiahua County Lord has also been in Feng County in recent years. Some industries have been laid out, and their influence in Feng County is not small.
However, the county magistrate who served in Feng County in recent years has been too weak, and people from the county government have been tyrannical. As a result, there is a lot of resentment among the people. When Xie Xiuwen reported this matter to His Majesty, he was also quite uneasy.
After all, the biological father of Lord Jiahua County had saved the life of His Majesty.
"Thank you Aiqing, Cheng Zhuangyuan also received your guidance. It is said that you taught him for several years. Do you think that if he went to Feng County, he might be able to calm down the public resentment?"
"Your Majesty, Cheng Jingzhou's talents are well known to the ministers. But if the power of the county lord's palace is too great, he will not be able to challenge him head-on."
A touch of indifference flashed in Emperor Jingwen's eyes. The Lord of Jiahua County had indeed gone too far in recent years.
Although he is in the palace, it does not mean that he is ignorant of things outside.
Xie Xiuwen was not the first person to sue him. A member of the royal family had previously mentioned that the Lord of Jiahua County had been somewhat unbecoming recently, and also said that the newly appointed household minister Wailang was too bold. Not only did He raced horses on the street, even injured people for no reason, etc.
All these things, Emperor Jingwen also ignored the matter because of Jiahua County Lord. Unexpectedly, now he is becoming more and more bold.
"Xie Aiqing thinks I shouldn't favor Jiahua?"
"Your Majesty, you are kind and generous. In gratitude for the county king's life-saving grace, you granted her the title of county mistress. Later, you granted her the title of county mistress in memory of her husband who died fighting for the country. However, with all due respect, the chief of Jiahua County Originally she was just a clan head and she already had the ancestral property she deserved, so to reward her with ten hectares of fertile land was not in line with the rules."
