The strongest Marquis in history

This is a giant.

It is his opportunity to govern Yangzhou. As long as he does well in this position, he can enter the Qi State Center in the next step. At that time, he will be the servant of the first department, and as the second in command of the first department, there will be absolutely no problem.It is even possible if Wang Qi is cultivated and let him perform the duties of a minister.

The most important thing is that Qi is now, and the future can be expected.When the Qi State sweeps the world and replaces the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will be the founding hero.

This is Jiang Ning's ambition.

Jiang Ning's emotions were a little agitated, but he didn't show it on his face. He said solemnly: "My lord, I am in charge of Yangzhou. It involves the adjustment of all officials in Yangzhou, as well as the officials of various counties?"

Wang Qidao: "You can adjust the county officials in the local area, as well as the affairs of Wu County. It is just to respond to the prefects of Kuaiji County and Danyang County in Qi State. The official positions will not change. You send a letter to let them return to their respective places, and there is no need to go back. Go to Wu County. After all, Wu County has already been taken, so there is no need for them to send troops."

"Yes!"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Wang Qi continued: "When it comes to the officials of the various ministries of the Chen State, you can directly adjust the ones that need to be adjusted. In addition, you can also arrange for those who need to be transferred to the Qi State Center as officials."

Jiang Ning said: "I obey!"

Wang Qi continued: "You are in charge of Yangzhou. Land is the foundation of Qi, and it is an unshakable red line. The land controlled by the government can only be increased, not reduced. Moreover, the government's land is not allowed to be bought and sold, and can only be distributed to the common people. Farming, once a person dies, it must be taken back. For the rest, you can figure it out, I hope that under your governance, Yangzhou will go to a higher level."

Jiang Ning was very excited, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, the king, I will restore the prosperity of Yangzhou in the shortest possible time, so that the people can live a stable life."

Wang Qi said: "Go and adjust."

"Yes!"

Jiang Ning bowed and saluted, and left happily. He made the right bet. Although he paid a lot, the harvest was even greater.

Wang Qi looked at Jiang Ning's leaving back with a calm expression. It was Wang Qi's deliberate deliberation to let Jiang Ning take charge of Yangzhou. After all, Jiang Ning is more familiar with Yangzhou than Gu Kang, and Jiang Ning has influence in the local area.

This is the most suitable arrangement.

After Jiang Ning stabilized Yangzhou in the follow-up, and everything was on the right track, Jiang Ning's official position would be adjusted, and Jiang Ning would be transferred to the court as an official, then the adjustment of Yangzhou would be able to go further.

After Jiang Ning left, Wang Qi arranged for another person to call Yan Chixing.

Yan Chixing entered the main hall, cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness!"

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Yan Chixing, I asked you to come now, because this king is going to let you lead the army, sit in Yangzhou, and be responsible for the stability of the entire Yangzhou."

Wang Qi's local strategy is to separate the military from the government.

Jiang Ning is in charge of government affairs.

Yan Chixing is in charge of military affairs.

If these two lines are advanced separately, the stability of Yangzhou will not be a problem.

Yan Chixing frowned slightly, and said: "Your Highness, I would like to fight with His Highness, and staying in Yangzhou is really boring."

Wang Qidao: "Guarding Yangzhou is boring, but it is extremely important. In Yangzhou today, Jiang Ning is the governor of the state, and the officials of the other counties are mainly related to Jiang Ning, so there will be no adjustments for the time being. Wait for the next step, and we will make adjustments little by little. .At that time, the guarding of Yangzhou can be handed over to other people. But now you can’t be careless, understand?”

Yan Chi said: "The general will understand."

Wang Qidao: "Since you understand, stay and guard. In addition, regarding the army, the number can be expanded again, to about 3 people. However, the training of the army cannot be delayed, and must keep up."

Hearing Wang Qi's words, Yan Chixing knew that the overall situation was settled and there was no way to change it. He nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the general will live up to his high expectations. He will definitely expand the army and adjust everything."

After a pause, Yan Chi said, "When it comes to the issue of the army, should the troops of each county be withdrawn? Today, each county has its own army. Should the local government still control the army?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Wang Qi said decisively: "The power of each county will naturally be withdrawn gradually, and the local area cannot be allowed to grow. On this point, you and Jiang Ning will coordinate with each other and arrange it step by step. The local area can be allowed to have yamen servants and have a certain amount of strength to maintain it. The law and order is stable, but it must be within a certain range. If you raise private soldiers and form an army without authorization, then you should deal with it."

Yan Chi said: "The general understands."

Wang Qi said: "Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Yan Chixing nodded and turned around to arrange things.

Wang Qi sat in the hall, thinking about the arrangement for Gu Kang.After Jiang Ning became Yangzhou Mu, he had a conflict with Gu Kang's Yangzhou Mu, so he had to adjust Gu Kang, otherwise there would be a conflict.

After thinking about it, Wang Qi quickly wrote two letters.First, it was sent back to Zhu Shanchang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who told Zhu Shanchang about Gu Kang's arrangements, and transferred Gu Kang to the court as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, as the second in command of the Ministry of Officials, and asked Zhu Shanchang to prepare for the arrangement.

The second is a letter to Gu Kang, telling Gu Kang to resign from his post as Yangzhou Mu, and go directly to Linzi to take up his post as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, assisting Zhu Shanchang in handling tasks in the court.

After Wang Qi finished writing the two letters, he called for soldiers to send them away urgently.

Chapter 592

When Jiang Ning returned to the mansion, Sun Zhongjie and other Chen Guo officials were all present.

They all waited eagerly.

All waiting for news.

Now that Wang Qi has arrived in Yangzhou, everything has changed, and it is no longer what it used to be.Wang Qi is not Yuan Wei, Yuan Wei is a lower body animal, most of the time he is in heat in the harem, only thinking about things in bed.Wang Qi, on the other hand, tried his best to heal himself, and he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes.They are now working for Wang Qi, so it is impossible for them to dawdle, and they have to do good things to gain a foothold.

Sun Zhongjie waited for Jiang Ning to sit down, and quickly asked: "Teacher, you went to see King Qi, how is the situation?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Ning.

Each of them held their breath intently, and seemed quite nervous, after all, it was related to their own future.

Jiang Ning stroked the beard under his jaw and said: "The big families donated half of the land, and the king of Qi accepted it. In addition, the old man is now appointed by the king of Qi as Yangzhou shepherd to take charge of Yangzhou government affairs. The officials of the following counties, as well as the state shepherd The officials of the mansion are arranged by the old man himself, and the list of personnel is drawn up, and it is reported to King Qi."

"that is really good!"

When Sun Zhongjie heard this, he immediately became excited. He even danced and said, "It's not in vain for us. We have been given so many benefits. Yangzhou is the teacher's decision, and the officials of each county can gradually adjust and replace them all with our people. This The sheriffs of Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, Kuaiji County, and Danyang County are not ours and should be replaced."

At this moment, Sun Zhongjie is quite high-spirited.

A look of pointing the country.

Jiang Ning glanced at Sun Zhongjie, and said: "The prefects of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County were appointed by the King of Qi himself, and they must not be adjusted. In addition, Danyang County and Kuaiji County responded to the King of Qi, and they cannot be adjusted."

"You want to adjust at will and replace them all with our people. Do you want to become a country within a country?"

"Don't overthink it."

"In fact, I can make suggestions for the adjustment of officials at the county level, but the process requires the approval of the court before adjustments can be made. You think of these things too simply and too self-righteously."

"What the old man can do now is you people, or be included in the state shepherd's mansion, Huo Shi recommends some people to go to the Qi State Center, and then there are county magistrates, the old man can arrange it."

Jiang Ning said: "It is impossible to talk about more rights. Old man, I will not go beyond."

Sun Zhongjie sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, if the counties can also adjust accordingly, it would be great."

Jiang Ning said: "If the officials at the county level can be adjusted at will, it will be a country within a country. When it reaches this point, it will be a catastrophe. I have already thought about your respective positions. Sun Zhongjie will be in charge next. Governor of Yangzhou, assist the old man in handling government affairs. Sun Zhongjie, what do you think?"

"Disciple obey!"

Sun Zhongjie responded directly.

Governor Shi is the second in command, so he is willing.

Jiang Ning looked at the rest of the officials, mainly related to the six ministers of Chen Guo, as well as the main civil and military officials. They all made arrangements one by one. Most of them were arranged in the state pastoral mansion, and some were sent out. to the place.

Arranged in a circle, everyone is happy.

Whether they stay in Wu County or put them somewhere else, they all benefit.

After Jiang Ning made all the arrangements, he looked at each of them happily, and warned: "I am here to remind you. Under the rule of King Qi, you must rely on your real talents and achievements, and you must speak on the basis of political achievements. If you only want to gain benefits , it’s best to put your mind to rest early, otherwise no one will be able to save you when things come to an end.”

Everyone answered with a smile, but at this time, many people didn't take it seriously.

All of them are thinking about their own affairs. After all, after they donated their land, they have gained real power and gained a lot of benefits.Everyone is happy in their hearts, and they are calculating the benefits they get.

Jiang Ning saw this scene in his eyes and frowned slightly.He is clear about the virtues of Yangzhou scholars, and these people must be somewhat complacent, because each of them has changed from their original influence in the court to their influence in the local area.

The Chen State in the past seemed to be the imperial court, but Yuan Wei's influence on the local area was very weak.The counties are almost self-reliant, but only in name. Those who serve in the Chen Guochao seem to have power, but in fact the real power is not too great, it just sounds good.

Now, there is real power.

This is what makes these people happy.

Jiang Ning knew that he couldn't be persuaded, because when people were excited, what they said would fall on deaf ears.Jiang Ning is ambitious and wants to use his achievements in governing Yangzhou to enter the center of Qi.Because when the Qi State replaces the Great Zhou in the future, then the officials of the Qi State Center will have a real future.

After Jiang Ning arranged it, he stopped talking and ordered: "Go down, get ready, and then go to your posts."

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed and left separately.

Everyone is at ease now.

Jiang Ning looked at the backs of everyone leaving, but he was worried.He thought about it carefully, and after he had some ideas in his mind, he first wrote down all the lists and the arrangements for the officials in the memorial, and then Jiang Ning left the mansion and went to the palace.

Jiang Ning arrived outside the palace. After the soldiers informed him, he went straight into the palace, stood still in the main hall, and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

Wang Qi said: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ningdao: "I have two things to report. First, it is about the rectification and adjustment of the entire Yangzhou officialdom, which involves the official position arrangement of all personnel. Please look over it."

While speaking, he handed over the memorial.

Wang Qi took it and looked it over, nodded and said: "No problem, you just report it to the Ministry of Officials for filing. In the future, when it comes to the adjustment of officials, you will follow the formal procedures. You can't cut it first and play it later."

"I obey my orders!"

Jiang Ning answered immediately.

After a pause, Jiang Ning continued: "Secondly, I have arranged for these people to serve in many places, and I am still worried that they will get carried away. The minister's consideration is whether to wait for a period of time before the local The magistrates of each county should make an adjustment. When new officials take office in each county, they must always promote new people and train their own people. In this way, the management of the local area will be stricter, and local problems will also be eliminated. "

After Wang Qi heard it, he thought for a while and said, "For the adjustment of the counties, there is no need to be in a hurry, wait for a while. In addition, you must report to the court in advance about the adjustment of the officials of the counties. permission."

"For local supervision, we cannot rely on the adjustment of officials, and we cannot rely on new officials taking office."

"This matter, the king will immediately send a letter to Duan Jiuzhen of the Supervision Department. He is responsible for monitoring various places, picking up illegal officials, and picking up illegal matters. The king asked him to focus on Yangzhou."

"In this way, once someone crosses the threshold, it will naturally be investigated immediately, and it will be strictly investigated."

Wang Qi made arrangements directly.

If you want to take bribes and break the law, and want to grab profits, you have to pass the level of the Supervision Department.

Over the years, the Supervision Department has done a good job of supervising the localities. To put it bluntly, the Supervision Department has made inestimable contributions to the stability of Qi.

Jiang Ning said: "Your Majesty Shengming!"

In his heart, he secretly mourned for the people working in these places, because he knew that the Supervisory Department of Qi State was pervasive, and he was extremely good at spying on intelligence.

As long as there is violation of law and discipline, or officials are corrupt and bend the law, they will definitely be investigated and dealt with.Especially now, it is even more important to focus on it, and the situation is even more different.

This is also a good thing.

Jiang Ning has big ambitions, so he hopes that Yangzhou's officials will do better.

Jiang Ning changed the subject and said again: "Your Majesty, Yuan Wei was captured. He is still in the army. Dare to ask Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Yuan Wei?"

Wang Qidao: "As for Yuan Wei's treatment, I am going to declare the official punishment, announce Yuan Wei's crimes to the outside world, and then execute the sentence in public, so as to reassure the hearts of the people."

Jiang Ning said: "Your Majesty is Shengming."

Wang Qidao: "Since you mentioned Yuan Wei, this person will be handed over to you. The public trial must be done in a big way, so that countless people will know the laws and regulations of Qi State, and know that Qi State truly cares about and loves the people."

Jiang Ning said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter satisfactorily."

Wang Qi continued: "In addition, it is about the money in Yuan Wei's treasury and the hoarded grain. This king left a sum of money and a large amount of grain as the starting basis for you to govern Yangzhou. If you don't have money, you have to develop the place, especially Tax exemption, etc., will make subsequent development difficult. The extra money will be taken away by the king.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your pity!"

At this moment, Jiang Ning was really relieved.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. If there is not enough money and food, it is really difficult for him to run the place.Even in Jiang Ning's heart, he was ready to use the savings of the Jiang family to run the government.

Now with Wang Qi's arrangement, everything is easy, and it won't be so difficult.After all, he is the leader of the scholars in Yangzhou, and even the leader of the aristocratic family. He has enough appeal, and he will not have too much difficulty in the follow-up development.

After Jiang Ning reported the matter, he got up and left, busy with his affairs.

Wang Qi is more at ease with Jiang Ning, because Jiang Ning's ambition can be seen from Jiang Ning's speech.Wang Qi is quite relieved to hand over Yangzhou to an old fox like Jiang Ning.

Wang Qi left Yangzhou with Xiao Qingzhi's army northward in early March.

After all, Yangzhou has temporarily settled down.

Qi's rear is also stable.

The next adjustment cannot be completed in a short time, Wang Qi is not in a hurry, he has enough patience.Especially with the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Yangzhou, the foundation of Qi State will be further consolidated.

After Wang Qi led his troops to the north, the news of Yangzhou's surrender had begun to spread and became known to the whole world.

After all, all over the world are paying attention to Wang Qi's actions.
