Yang Sichang left Shaanxi at the end of October.

Shaanxi's climate began to change, becoming cold, the winter in the north generally comes early, the cold time is long, through eight years, Su Tiancheng's biggest feeling, is that the climate is very normal today, the environment has not been damaged, the summer is very hot, the winter is very cold, the four seasons are distinct, which is hundreds of years later, can not be experienced.

Last winter, because there was no time to take care of it, there was a situation of people freezing to death in Shaanxi, and the government was powerless at that time and could not take care of it, but this year the situation is different, and the people who continue to freeze and starve to death continue to appear, that is the government's dereliction of duty.

is about to leave Shaanxi, Su Tiancheng feels urgent, he needs to hold a summary meeting, this meeting is very important, many things need to be arranged, some consciousness needs to be clear, before convening this meeting, he still needs to have a good talk with Zhu Xianxuan. Although their own ideas cannot be made public in the Ming Dynasty for the time being, in Shaanxi, they can still take the way of saving the country by curves and slowly implement it, which has great benefits to the people of Shaanxi and has a far-reaching impact on the rise of the Ming Dynasty.

The meeting is scheduled to be held on the fifth day of November.

On the second day of November, Zhu Xianxuan came to Xianyang ahead of schedule.

The place of the meeting was changed to the inner courtyard of the governor's yamen, where Su Tiancheng and his family stayed, and Chunping and Gu Hengbo, who followed him to Shaanxi, lived in the inner courtyard.

For this meeting, Su Tiancheng made very adequate preparations, and he had to try his best to persuade Zhu Xianxuan. According to his analysis, Zhu Xianxuan's appointment as governor of Shaanxi is a sure thing, and in order to maintain the stable situation in Shaanxi and to achieve real development in Shaanxi, Zhu Xianxuan must have a sense of the overall situation. Don't be too rigid.

The most important thing is that Su Tiancheng knew that Shaanxi is the rear of the Jiangning battalion, and all the supplies of the Jiangning battalion need to rely on Shaanxi, and it needs to rely on the mutual market between Anningbao and Jingbian, and Shaanxi cannot be chaotic and cannot go back.

Although he is Su Tiancheng's brother-in-law, Zhu Xianxuan has never entered the inner courtyard.

This conversation. Conducted in the inner courtyard, Zhu Xianxuan was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and it was estimated that the matters involved in this conversation may be relatively significant.

When he entered the inner courtyard, Su Tiancheng was waiting in the courtyard.

After Wang Dazhi brought Zhu Xianxuan to the door, he stopped.

Su Tiancheng took Zhu Xianxuan and entered the study directly. There is no need for too much pleasantries between the two.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, I thought about asking you a question. Tell me why the Jiangning battalion can suddenly rise in such a short period of time, think of me Daming, the army of the guard has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is said that it is becoming more and more mature, and it should be able to fight on the battlefield. Invincible, it's a pity that the garrison army is weak and can't fight at all. ”

Zhu Xianxuan was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this question carefully. The vassal king never interfered in the affairs of the army, even if he presided over the dismantling of the army of the guard in Shaanxi, but Zhu Xianxuan was still not very clear about the connotation of the army, but he really did not look down on the combat effectiveness of the army of the guard, and some sergeants were inferior to the peasants.

"I haven't really thought about this issue carefully, but I participated in the dismantling of the army in Shaanxi, and what I saw seemed to be that the military salary could not be paid, and I had heard it before, because the military salary could not be in place, and the sergeant could not support his family, so he mutinied."

"This is a reason, but there is also something that doesn't make sense, those mutinous sergeants, after joining the rogue team, have become the main force, and can fight well, my Ming army, almost all of them are not their opponents, which shows that they are not unable to fight."

Zhu Xianxuan lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"Maybe they've joined the ranks of the rogues and their treatment has been guaranteed."

"I don't think this is the case, the mutinous sergeant joined the ranks of the rogue and became a rebel, and his family was threatened, and the rogue had no fixed place to live, and he was wandering around, and it was a lot of hardship, so under such circumstances, how could the mutinous sergeant settle down and want to live a good life, wouldn't it be a fantasy."

"This, what you said makes sense, I don't know exactly why this is happening."

"I have an understanding, whether it is the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion or the soldiers of my Daming Guard, if they want to become brave and good at fighting, the most important thing is what they think in their hearts.

"Oh, tell me what the reason is."

"It's very simple to say, that is, the reason why they want to fight is not only to be loyal to the emperor, but also for themselves."

"What do you say?"

"First of all, the soldiers get military salaries and can support their families, which is the best proof of the best, soldiers are also a profession, but with particularity, especially in today's era, they may donate their lives at any time, they get military salaries, reflect their own value, and feed their families, secondly, they have wealth, just say that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, the military salary is a little high, this is what they exchanged for their lives, their families live very well, but this situation can not continue, If they can't kill the enemy on the battlefield, they can't hold the land, everything they have will be lost, the last is that they are soldiers, they choose to join the army, they must maintain the honor of the soldiers, they must maintain their own honor, no one wants to become a bad seed, be looked down upon, even if their health is not very good, but on the battlefield, they can fight bravely to kill the enemy, can take care of each other, they maintain the honor of the soldiers, also upheld their honor, so, at the end of the day, they fought for themselves. ”

Zhu Xianxuan somewhat understood.

"Kun Yuan, what you say is really reasonable."

"This is not just talking, we must let them understand that they are fighting, not only for the sake of loyalty to the emperor, for the court, for the Ming Dynasty, or for themselves, once they realize this, then, their appearance will be greatly improved, after a period of training, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly improved, the kind of practice of gathering the army only by the level of military salary, it is not advisable, for example, some guard army, the officer's side of the personal soldiers, the treatment is very good, but the combat effectiveness of the entire army, It's still weak. ”

"I understand, no wonder the Jiangning Battalion can have such a strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time."

"Not only the Jiangning battalion, but also the new army, their understanding is slowly changing, all this needs to be guided, the point is that the officers must understand this truth, so that they can bring out first-class soldiers."

Speaking of which, Su Tiancheng felt that he needed to get to the point.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, how do you think officials at all levels in Shaanxi should do things?"

Zhu Xianxuan is very smart and somewhat understands the meaning of today's conversation.

"Kun Yuan, this question, I once thought about it, although it has not been a long time to talk about Hanzhong Mansion, it has taken a lot of effort to rectify officials at all levels, and even now, it has not achieved the desired effect."

"I do have some views, officials at all levels in Shaanxi, first of all, they must be loyal to the emperor, obey the orders of the imperial court, and do things in accordance with the requirements of the governor's yamen, the political envoy and the yamen, and the inspection and envoy department, this is the basic premise, otherwise it will be chaotic, if they go their own way, they will definitely not be able to do things well, but there is another one, judging from the actual situation, officials at all levels do not pay special attention, or do not consider it at all, that is, to do things for the people, and put the people in their hearts."

"Kun Yuan, this is not a special understanding, as far as I know, officials at all levels are doing their best to do things for the people, otherwise there would not be such a big change in Shaanxi."

Su Tiancheng shook his head slightly.

"There is a very strange phenomenon, I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Jin has noticed, a lot of officials, after doing things for the people, look forward to getting things like the umbrella of the people, expect to get the affirmation of the people, I don't agree with this approach, when the official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes, this is the duty of the officials, if they can not do things for the people, they are not qualified, they should be punished, or even removed from official positions, officials at all levels in Shaanxi, in their bones or pay attention to the above, Of course, there is no mistake in this understanding, I also emphasized earlier, that is, officials at all levels must firmly establish a consciousness, that is, they must do things for the people, the people are their food and clothing, if they can not work for the welfare of the people, they are not good officials, sometimes, compare the above requirements with the requirements of the people, I am afraid to pay more attention to the demands of the people. ”

Zhu Xianxuan looked at Su Tiancheng and was very surprised, all dynasties and dynasties have said that the family is the world, and the point of view that Su Tiancheng said seems to be a challenge to the family world, if such a point of view is circulated, there will definitely be trouble.

"Kun Yuan, I think what you said is correct, but you still have to pay attention, you must not mention these understandings outside, otherwise there will be trouble."

"I know that I am just talking in front of you, I hope you can have such an understanding, with such a requirement to manage officials at all levels, if you continue to do according to such a request, Shaanxi can surpass all the northern provinces in a short period of time, and become one of the richest places."

Zhu Xianxuan nodded and did not continue to say anything. (To be continued......)
