Feng Ziying admires the style of doing things in the practice of state affairs.

The other party is from the top of the list, and he served as the editor of the Hanlin Academy earlier than himself, and he is also regarded as his senior brother in the academy, but once the priorities are clear, the other party can implement the established strategy well and steadily, even if there are some incomprehensible and different opinions, they will do things first, which is particularly rare.

There is no shortage of people with outstanding abilities in this world, let alone smart and wise people, but there is only a lack of people with correct attitudes and the ability to judge the situation.

In Feng Ziying's view, practicing national affairs papers is not as good as Han Jing, not as sharp as Xu Ji, not as good as Yang Sichang in terms of martial arts, not as good as Fang Youdu in terms of stubbornness, and not as good as Xu Qixun in terms of leniency, many times it feels more like mediocrity, but when these traits are combined, practicing state affairs will become the least prominent, but the most reliable and credible executor.

It can be said that Feng Ziying has been carefully looking for "comrades" who can truly be his like-minded among these classmates, and he has never had the luxury of hoping to find a few "comrades" who can be unified with his three views at once, which is obviously unrealistic, but he hopes that through continuous contact and screening, he can find "comrades" who can accept his own views and ideas, of course, this will definitely require a process.

It's hard to say anything else, but in terms of personality traits, practicing state affairs is undoubtedly the most worthy of being pulled into your own pocket and becoming a member of your own camp at present.

"Junyu, do you think these salt merchants don't look like the imperial court is raising pigs?" Feng Ziying's abrupt words made Lian Guoshi a little confused.

"Huh?"

"You see, these salt merchants themselves have no ability, or what they have to do is to curry favor with Shangguan, and then rely on this monopoly to make huge profits from it, and the imperial court also intends to let this situation go, and these salt merchants are willing to take risks in order to make higher profits, and make profits through various means, and when it comes to a certain time, when the imperial court needs or has a strong response, you can find a reason, as we did,......, a piece of paper was seized, several were overturned, and millions of family properties were confiscated. Isn't it like killing a pig during the New Year? ”

The straightforward and mean words made Lian Guoshi dumbfounded, and after a while, Lian Guoshi shook his head and retorted: "Although these salt merchants rely on the exclusive policy of the imperial court to make money, if they do those acts of adultery, how can they let the imperial court find a reason to do something against them?" ”

"Brother Jun Yu, we all know that which of these salt merchants dares to say that he has not done these things that violate the rules of the imperial court? When everyone tacitly does the same thing to reap greater benefits without being investigated and punished, who do you think can endure it? Even if you don't join, you may be ostracized by these people,......"

Regarding what Feng Ziying said, Lian Guoshi was speechless, but he still felt that Feng Ziying and himself said this today seemed to have some different meanings.

"Ziying, what do you want to say?" Lian Guoshi looked at Feng Ziying.

"It's nothing, Jun Yu, don't you think that the Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for less than a hundred years, but do you have some feelings that you are struggling or even unable to sustain?" Feng Ziying picked up the teacup and took a sip thoughtfully.

"Compared with the former Ming Dynasty, the border troubles in the north have increased unabated, the troubles of the henchmen in Liaodong have become more and more intense, the harm of the Japanese people has not decreased, and the southwest has added more disasters, but what about the imperial court? The lack of taxation has reached a dangerous situation, not to mention the addition of a mine supervisor, which will also cause public resentment to boil, local land annexation, hidden people's population, water conservancy disrepair, and few floods and droughts, which will attract large-scale displacement and a shortage of money,......"

"The army has become a trend of eating empty quotas, morale is low, the good and the bad are uneven, and they want to be eliminated but there is huge resistance,......, seeing that the Xiyi people are constantly innovating in weapons and tactics, but what about us? Sticking to the rules and not thinking about making progress,......"

"Look at the difference between the north and the south, it is still difficult to find food and clothing in the south of the Yangtze River, but what about us in the north? Shaanxi, Shaanxi and Beizhi natural disasters continue, displaced people flock, the White Lotus Sect takes the opportunity to make trouble, but we can't find a way to solve the root cause, Brother Jun Yu, can you and I still sleep peacefully? ……”

"Look at our local officials, how many of them are loyal to the king and the people, and share the worries of the court? Either the corpse is a vegetarian meal, or it fills its own pockets, or it is an invitation to flatter ,......"

Lian Guoshi was upset by Feng Ziying's words, and couldn't help but interrupt the other party: "Ziying, I admit that the people of the court do have such and such problems, but aren't you and I working hard to solve this dilemma?" Hasn't your proposed move to open up the sea already achieved great results? Isn't going to Jiangnan this time a respite for the imperial court? As long as the strategy for Liaodong can be promoted as scheduled, the threat posed by the Jianzhou Jurchens may not be mitigated and eliminated,......"

"Junyu, I admit that the implementation of the strategy of opening the sea can alleviate the urgency of the moment, if the strategy of Liaodong can go smoothly, maybe it will have some effect in a few years, but this is all based on the premise that everything goes well, and it has to work together from the emperor to the cabinet to the six ministries and the local government below, and now it is also forced to have no way out to agree to the strategy of opening the sea so smoothly,......"

"In fact, you and I both know that in the north alone, there is a lot of criticism of this strategy of opening the sea, and the local attitude, you should also feel it during this time in Yangzhou, Yangzhou Mansion and Jiangdu County, if these officials are not for personal interests, how many of them are willing to deal with you? It doesn't matter to oneself, and even the yang and the yin disobey the yin and secretly make the bad ones even worse,......"

Feng Ziying's words made Lian Guoshi's heart even more resentful, and he even felt a little resentful towards Feng Ziying, "Ziying, in your opinion, this Great Zhou should be the end of the country?" ”

"To be honest, I don't know." Feng Ziying shook her head honestly, "Maybe one or two things collide together, and the imperial court can still deal with it, but if all kinds of disadvantages are encountered, Junyu, what do you think?" For example, when border disasters and flood and drought disasters are encountered, the displaced people are bewitched and coerced by the White Lotus Sect, and then encounter so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials who flee from the wind, will it cause any uncontrollable disasters? ”

This idea made Lian Guoshi even more creepy.

It's all too likely.

The persecution of the Jurchens in Jianzhou in eastern Liaodong intensified, in case of drought in Beizhi and the people had nowhere to eat, the White Lotus Sect took the opportunity to make a rebellion, and then met one or two timid and incompetent officials who were helpless in this situation, and the Jurchens and Chahars took the opportunity to join forces to commit crimes, maybe it would really achieve an uncontrollable chaos.

"That Ziying, do you think that the current imperial court is facing such a situation, is there no solution?" Lian Guoshi asked in a deep voice: "You have said so much today, do you want to tell Brother Wei how to solve this crisis?" ”

"Whether there is a solution or not, I don't know, but whether there is a solution or not, you and I should do our best to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king." Feng Ziying shook her head, "But Brother Junyu wants to ask how to solve such a crisis, but I have countless hearts in my heart, bit by bit in all aspects, look at it, everywhere is a flawed problem, everywhere needs to be solved, the officials are greedy and incompetent, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials should come, the border trouble is getting worse, then the military department and the Governor's Mansion are not enough money, then the household department is coming, there are many bandits, then the criminal department and the local capital are coming, the question is how can we make these officials really do the right thing?" ”

Lian Guoshi went back with a stomach full of distress and questions, Feng Ziying didn't give him an answer, but pointed him in the direction.

This is not a problem that can be solved by any one person, not even a few people, even a group of people in the cabinet or the emperor.

It takes a large group of people who share the same opinions, ideas and intentions, in short, like-minded people, who recognize this or some ideas, and who are willing to work hard for it, to achieve such a goal.

It is better to give Lian Guoshi such a thought than to tell him the answer directly, which helps him think about it all seriously and let him come up with the answer for himself.

*******

The milky white dress was covered with a light brown gown, Siluo put a simple bunch of black hair, and a fresh and elegant breath came to her face, facing Feng Ziying's gaze, Miaoyu's beautiful eyes glanced at it, and then lightly let go.

"Why, Miss Miaoyu doesn't plan to talk to me?" Feng Ziying smiled dumbly, "No matter what the result is, at least Uncle Lin entrusts you to me, and I will at least fulfill my responsibilities, but Miss Miaoyu doesn't need to worry about anything, I believe that my own reputation is enough to reassure." ”

Miaoyu hesitated slightly, lowered her head, and stood still, "Lord Feng, Miaoyu has lived in Buddhism since she was a child, and she knows very little about the mundane affairs of the world. ”

Feng Ziying nodded, "Of course you can, but Uncle Lin has also explained, you can choose the future yourself, but there is a bottom line, that is, you can't become a monk, which is also explained by Uncle Lin." ”

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Miaoyu's mouth, "Lord Feng, plus my sister, you already have a two-room wife, and there is no shortage of women who want to enter your mansion to be your concubine, why do you stare at me like a willow?" ”

"Miss Miaoyu misunderstood, Uncle Lin has an explanation, Ziying agreed, and she has to do it, it's not that Ziying wants to covet beauty, well, Ziying doesn't shy away from saying that she likes beauty, but for Miss Miaoyu, I never have this thought, I just want to be able to fulfill Uncle Lin's long-cherished wish, so that Miss Miaoyu can have a happy ending in the future, and I have no other ideas."

Feng Ziying didn't have that idea for a long time, that is, now Miaoyu is really willing to marry into the Feng Mansion, he has to think about it, there is no grass at the end of the world, if he is allowed to enter the mansion but it causes unrest in the backyard, it will really outweigh the losses, and if he has that thought, he will spend some effort to incorporate Yingchun into the mansion, isn't it better than Miaoyu?
