At the beginning of June, Zheng Xunrui returned to Huai'an, the expedition was not long, before and after is more than a month, it is about to come to the autumn harvest season, Zheng Xunrui came back at this time, the time is also appropriate, every autumn harvest season, it is also a critical period for the governor's palace to collect grain, according to the rules of the imperial court, at this time the governor of Caoyun must personally supervise the formation.

However, Zheng Xunrui doesn't need to worry so much, the matter of Caoyun, he has already regulated, every official of the Governor's Palace, the responsibilities are clear, this matter of levying grain, because there was fire consumption in the past, there was a lot of grain levied, and officials could get a lot of benefits from it, so everyone was staring at it, now all this does not exist, there are clear rules for each link, and the Caoyun Governor's Office has a special roster, which is reported by officials at all levels, farmers who have suffered famine or are particularly poor, After being verified by the officials, not only did they not pay the grain, but the government also gave them a certain amount of subsidies so that they could live.

Ma Shiying is directly responsible for the collection of grain, Shi Kefa must assist Ma Shiying in charge of the collection of grain, the matter of collecting grain, the focus of the collection of grain is the responsibility of the government at all levels, but the governor's office must supervise, and the main responsibility is also in the governor's office, that is to say, if the grain cannot be collected, the direct responsibility is Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa and others.

Therefore, the autumn harvest season is approaching, Zheng Xunrui seems to be very relaxed, Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa are extremely busy, running around Huaibei and various places along the Grand Canal, urging the government to complete the task of collecting grain.

Zheng Xunrui served as the governor of Caoyun for more than a year, and he has governed the Huaibei regions very well, after all, he is also the governor of the four prefectures and three prefectures, but there are also places that he can't reach, that is, other places on the Grand Canal that need to collect grain, including Nanjing and Hangzhou, etc., the bad habit of collecting grain in these places is still widespread, and the only thing that has changed is the wharf, because the wharf is firmly controlled by Hongmen. The Cao Gangs in various places have been completely wiped out by the Governor's Palace.

This contradiction naturally appeared, and the local governments and officials thought that they could get a lot of benefits from the Cao Yun, but the matters on the dock. All of them are controlled by Hongmen, in fact, it is controlled by the Governor's Palace, although Zheng Xunrui is the crown prince Shaobao, Hubu Shangshu, and the right capital imperial history, but the mountain is far away from the emperor, and it is too far away from Huai'an. Zheng Xunrui couldn't intervene.

Therefore, some conflicts will also appear, and appear on the dock, mostly the conflict between the local gangsters and Hongmen, in fact, behind the gangsters is the secret support of the local government, Zheng Xunrui knows these things, he asked Hongmen to ruthlessly suppress the local gangsters, as long as they dare to make trouble on the dock, then unceremoniously clean up, as for the local government to come forward to resolve the dispute, Zheng Xunrui directly came forward to deal with it.

Zheng Xunrui's official position in the right capital of the imperial history. Many local officials are afraid, with this title, Zheng Xunrui can directly impeach or even deal with officials below the fifth grade, although this power was previously limited to Huaibei, but Zheng Xunrui used his relationship in the capital to obtain the support of Zhang Fengyi and Yang Yipeng and others, and expanded the power of impeachment to all the wharves through which the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passed, and the cabinet also specifically mentioned this matter in the newspaper.

Since Zheng Xunrui became the governor of Caoyun, he has effectively ensured the smooth flow of Caoyun, and the north's reliance on Caoyun is huge. To put it bluntly, if Caoyun collapses, it will be difficult to maintain the Fuzhou and county officials in Beizhili, and there will soon be a big chaos in the north. Because of the smooth transportation and the abundant supply of grain in the north, the capital also felt this, so some people in the court could only turn a blind eye to the expansion of Zheng Xunrui's power, although they were not satisfied. If it is because of the restriction of Zheng Xunrui's power that the Cao fortune is blocked, then the official who proposes to impeach or retort will be directly responsible.

After returning to Huai'an, Zheng Xunrui only focused a small part of his energy on the collection of grain, and most of the time was thinking about how to adjust personnel.

After such a long time, Zheng Xunrui's plan is about to be slowly implemented.

First of all, of course, is to adjust the officials in various parts of Huaibei, which involves key positions such as the governor of Fengyang.

Wu Zhenying, the current governor of Fengyang, has a good relationship with Zheng Xunrui, after all, it was the Zheng family army who guarded Fengyang Mansion back then, if Fengyang Mansion was taken by Liukou at that time, Wu Zhenying should not think about living, so Wu Zhenying has always been grateful to Zheng Xunrui, but what makes Zheng Xunrui helpless is that Wu Zhenying's ability is indeed average, and he can't take charge alone.

Boldly enable talents, and is loyal talents, this is Zheng Xunrui's most important matter, more than ten years have passed, Zheng Xunrui has basically built a talent system, but these talents, most of the grades are not very high, this is also a limitation of the environment, before Zheng Xunrui took into account the opposition of the imperial court, considering the Donglin Party in the imperial court, but he spent more than a year in Huaibei, and severely attacked the Donglin Party, the Fushe and the power of the Ying Society in Huaibei, and many things can be done freely. As long as you operate cautiously and do not cause too many shocks, there is no big problem.

Donglin Book House.

Zheng Xunrui and Xu Wanghua are here, Hong Xinyu is guarding the outside of the study, no one is allowed to enter, even if there is an urgent matter that needs to be reported, they need to wait outside.

In terms of its practical personnel, Zheng Xunrui can think and make decisions on his own, this is the power of the leader, and the core of power is in the use of people and money, but Zheng Xunrui's thinking has long changed, since he wants to do big things, he needs to have a group of core strategists and a group of like-minded people to help, otherwise no matter how strong a person's ability is, he can't take care of everything.

"Mr. Xu, can you evaluate the officials of the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion, as well as the soldiers of the Zheng Family."

Zheng Xunrui's question was very direct, and of course Xu Wanghua's answer was also very direct.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that the soldiers of the Zheng family army are loyal to the adults, in comparison, the officials of the yamen of the governor's palace are afraid that they are still thinking about the court, and the subordinates will speak more bluntly, that is, the emperor's decree has no effect on the Zheng family's army, but it is not clear in the governor's palace."

Xu Wanghua pointed out the problem in a few words, the officials of the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion are all scholars, except for a very few people such as Kai Wenkun, most of the rest have passed the imperial examination step by step to reach their current status, let's just say that Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and Su Jiancheng and others were also enabled by the imperial court with their own knowledge, but in this process, Zheng Xunrui lent a helping hand so that they could be promoted quickly.

Zheng Jiajun is different, it was completely created by Zheng Xunrui, and has almost nothing to do with the imperial court, whether it is officers at all levels of the Zheng Jiajun, or many soldiers, when they enter the Zheng Jiajun, the first thing they know is the commander Zheng Xunrui, and they don't know what the relationship between the Zheng Jiajun and the imperial court is, and after the establishment of the Zheng Jiajun, Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jinhong and others blocked the connection between the Zheng Jiajun and the imperial court, and the imperial court was unable to send a supervising army to the Zheng Jiajun, the chief soldier and deputy chief soldier of the Zheng Jiajun, will not be transferred to other places, so the officers and men of the Zheng family are absolutely loyal to Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui also thinks like this, he is not worried about Zheng Jiajun, but he is still a little worried about the officials of the Governor's Mansion, from Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying to Gu Menglin and others, once he Zheng Xunrui turns his face with the imperial court, or even directly with the emperor, whether these people will unanimously support him, this is not completely certain.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think I should improve?"

Xu Wanghua groaned slightly.

"The subordinates think that there are two ways, the first way is to boldly promote talents, especially capable people, when they are so depressed that they can't see any hope, for example, Li Yan is a scholar, the adult newspaper recommends Li Yan as the county magistrate of Shanyin County, and the subordinates think that it is an excellent measure, the second way is to promote talents without sticking to one pattern, the rules of the court are dead, why can the magistrate of the seventh grade not be able to directly become the governor of the third or fourth grade, as long as the character is good and the ability is strong, you can be promoted exceptionally, This kind of exceptional promotion must also be loyal to adults. ”

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, but this time, he felt that Xu Wanghua was still not able to speak comprehensively.

"Mr. Xu, I think these two aspects are not the most important, the most important thing is to convince people with reason, speak with facts, for example, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying and others, they are by my side, witnessed the great changes in Shanxi, Huaibei and other places, they must be able to compare, especially in the north, Henan and Shanxi and other places, the people are struggling on the death line, the government and officials are still large-scale exploitation, so that the people can not bear it, but there is no such situation in Shaanxi, Huaibei has been developing for more than a year, Not to mention, Shi Kefa and others understand things, which way to stabilize the people and make the world rich and strong, this is needless to say. ”

Xu Wanghua was slightly stunned, and opened his mouth with a fist at Zheng Xunrui.

"My lord reminded that his subordinates almost forgot the most important core, the stability of Shaanxi and Huaibei and other places, the officials of the Governor's Mansion and the Yamen of Fuzhou County are all in their eyes, although they will not say anything, but they can indeed compare, the Liukou has been making trouble in the north, but they dare not enter Shaanxi, the stability of Shaanxi, but also let the court rest assured, that the Liukou can not set off a big wave, let alone Huaibei, some officials have said that Huaibei's Fuzhou County has undergone great changes in more than a year, There are more and more businessmen who go to Huaibei to do business, and the local people are getting richer and richer......"
