Chapter 444 Regret

This is the routine that Guo Ning used when he first arrived in Laizhou. It was also used in Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefecture, and now it has been extended to many military states on Shandong East Road.

From what Guo Ning has seen in his life, no matter what kind of wars or devastation they have experienced in Monan, Hebei or Shandong, there will always be remnants of the power of the local powerful people, and they will expand more and more through chaos, and even become deeply rooted. get rid of.Especially in this area of ​​Shandong, there have been corrupt officials for more than ten years, there have been fierce Anmouke, there are thieves in the forest, and there are rebel heroes, which have already messed up the place.

To be honest, most of the powerful people who can gain a foothold in this kind of messy situation are treacherous and cunning, and each one of them is either holding the idea of ​​the first and second ends, or they are very happy, and they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.After eradicating one Li Quan, there are still hundreds of Li Quan below.

How does that work?
For other Jurchen officials here, they have their own set of methods of suppression, compromise, and cooperation. In the final analysis, as long as the Han people are suppressed to the minimum, they can always squeeze out oil to support the nobles.

Guo Ning has no such interest.

In his land in the three states of Denglai, although there are also first-class manor owners or wealthy people, but those people are definitely a minority.Moreover, in the face of the military household system that integrates the military and civilians of the navy, they have no power at all, let alone influence on the local area.

As for the powerful families in the many military states on Shandong East Road, if they can know each other, it is not that there is no way out.But if you don't know the acquaintance, there are already soldiers sharpening their knives and scrambling to attack pigs and sheep.

Guo Ning remembered that a great sage said: "We are a blank sheet of paper, just for writing."

So he never bothered to pay attention to the intertwined relationships in the localities.Just turn it into a blank sheet of paper.

Facing complex local situations with simple means is exactly what Dinghai is good at.Is it false that so many officers are from humble origins and work with grass bandits?Now that many methods have been learned, they must be used from time to time so as not to be unfamiliar.

The fields and supplies squeezed out of these goods can just enrich the navy, enabling the army to quickly enter the next wave of expansion.

However, compared with the three states of Denglai, there are still places in Shandong East Road that require special attention.

At this time, the cavalry team rested in a post house, people shouted and neighed, and it was very lively.

Guo Ning got off his horse and went to the courtyard of the post station.As he walked, he asked, "Where are the officials in Dizhou and Binzhou?"

"It is being dealt with... Anyone with bad deeds will be severely punished. Mr. Jin Qing has already mobilized people to take over various positions. If there is any non-cooperation during the process, there will be no way to get it right."

It turns out that in the local system of Dajin, the officials who are also in charge of the military and government of one side have the highest status and stay in the capitals, the chiefs of the military and horses of the various prefectures, and even the governors of the towns and governors of the states.Further up, the Commander of the Army and the Chief of the Capital are responsible for military affairs, the Transshipment Envoy is responsible for finance and economy, and the Procuratorate is responsible for reviewing criminal cases and supervising officials.

These three road-level officials can only make relevant line requests to the general manager and Jiedu below, not their direct superiors.As for Guo Ning's Xuan Fu envoy, it is also average.

There is only one Lishu in Anji who really belongs to the Xuanfu envoy, and other important military and political powers and responsibilities are all temporarily granted due to the invasion of the Mongolian army.

The power granted temporarily can be withdrawn by the imperial court at any time, but the power of Jiedu envoys, defense envoys and governors in various places will last forever.

Therefore, before dispatching troops, Chucai Yiba asserted that after Guo Ning took control of Shandong, the imperial court would immediately send officials to various parts of Shandong to weaken Guo Ning's control over Shandong.If you don't do this, if the imperial court and others recognize the Xuanfu envoys in various places as separatist regimes, they will immediately fall apart and the country will no longer exist.

Guo Ning doesn't care at all whether Daikin is a country or not.It's a pity that I have won the territory of Shandong East Road by virtue of my strength, but I still have to leave an opening for the imperial court to intervene.

However, since he still bears the title of Xuanfu envoy, he may not necessarily fight the imperial court hard on this.If the sea-going ship to Dengzhou turns over a few more times, everyone will be completely torn apart, and it will cause a change in the court situation in vain. Even if Xu Ding mediates in it, it will not be worthwhile.

Guo Ning recommended the memorial of the military and political officials of Shandong East Road. Of course, it was almost time to arrive in Zhongdu at this time.No matter how uncomfortable the emperor was, he had to hold his nose and agree to part of it.In exchange, the trusted officials who were favored by the emperor and awarded important tasks in Shandong will always arrive one after another.

Come on, come on, Guo Ning already has a way to deal with it.

Just take advantage of the opportunity of mobilizing troops to clean up a group of local subordinates.All the vacant positions should be replaced with officials who Guo Ning has used in Denglai and other states, or scholars taught by himself.

It's easy for local officials to come down by air, but it's impossible to put their feet on the ground.They can pretend to give orders in their own government offices, and put on the posture of being in charge of the government, but the officials up and down only recognize Guo Ning, and what they can do is very limited.

These matters are not under Xu Yu's jurisdiction, so Xu Yu immediately brought Yira Chucai out.

Guo Ning has always been reassured about the government affairs methods used to assassinate Chucai.This is almost a talent bestowed by heaven, and one cannot accept it.

Beginning at the beginning of this year, with the prosperity of the income from trade, the financial resources in the hands of Chucai were a little more abundant, so he took out the money, continued to hire professors, and resumed the school education. On the one hand, he gradually recruited scholars. The school trains officials who can do practical things.

After more than half a year, in several schools in the three states of Denglai, more than a hundred scholars gathered to study knowledge, and the number of officials who had undergone simple training had doubled.These people are all with clean and reliable backgrounds.

Now that Guo Ning is taking Shandong, these scholars and officials will naturally have the opportunity to serve.Even if you can't be the governor of the prefecture or county, you can start with the second official, the official of the treasury, and the official of the supervisor, and there will be a Shandong Xuanfu envoy to take care of it, then the future is bright.

However, Yila Chucai was born in a noble family and was a serious Confucian scholar, so he was bound to be rigid and particular about his work.Unlike Xu Xuan's side, who used both black and white means, and had no scruples.

So Guo Ning said: "You also keep an eye on it. In short, hurry up."

Xu Yu bowed and said, "I obey."

"There are also the salt companies in Binzhou and Yidu, which need to be cleaned up together. There are still many important things to do. The financial resources in Shandong must be firmly in our hands."

"This……"

"What? Is there a problem?"

"Jie Shuai, Yi is easy to handle. But in Binzhou, the Yan Division has been infiltrated by Yin Chang. The people who eat on this line are more or less related to Yin Chang. This time defeating Li Quan, We have relied a lot on Yin Chang for his help, and when we are about to repay the credit, if something happens, the outside world may misunderstand Jieshuai."

Guo Ning frowned at this situation.The territory is big, no matter how you say it is drastic, there will always be scruples.However, in some places, if the rules are not established early, there is a fear that things will become wrong, and there will be endless troubles.

Immediately, he patted his forehead and said with a smile, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost neglected it."

The two sat down in the courtyard of the post station, chatted for a while, and drank two cups of tea.

Guo Ning suddenly said: "Yin Chang has meritorious service, so naturally he should be rewarded, and he should be rewarded generously. However, Binzhou can't be regarded as his confinement... I'd better let Zhang Rong go. You also want to Send someone to help."
