824.824: Three steps in one leap, Qin An Zhizhou
Before the sage arrived, the people of Qin'an were very nervous.
When the Holy Driving arrived, they found that they had no chance to get in close contact with the emperor.
The emperor's majesty made them dare not look directly at Long Yan. There were too many people around the emperor. The first one who could be called to the emperor to ask questions was County Chief Hu.
The ancestral tomb of Hu County Cheng is definitely coming out of blue smoke!
But there is no way. Who told County Magistrate Hu to know Qin An’s situation particularly well?
In Qin'an County, County Magistrate Hu couldn't say anything about the glass workshop. He didn't know what other things were?
County school.
New city wall.
Artificial ranch.
Borrowing without interest.
Weaving workshop.
Busy goods store.
These are political achievements on paper and can be written in memorials for requesting merits.
What cannot be written in the memorial is the mental outlook of ordinary people in Qin'an County. You can see with your eyes whether the people are doing well or not.
No one in the northwest, the minister Zhang and the censors who came with him dared to lie with their eyes open, accusing Cheng Qing of not managing Qin'an well. The flattery of learning Taoism in the northwest has been cursed enough. Qin'an County is not just the second Lanzhou City. It is not the substitute for Lanzhou City, it is it, the unique Qin'an.
Xiao Yunting was careless at the beginning, but as he deepened his understanding of Qin'an County, Xiao Yunting's expression became solemn.
Meng Huaijin, do you want to use Qin An as a benchmark?
It takes a lot of resources to develop the entire Northwest region to the same level as Qin'an. Xiao Yunting even suspected that Meng Huaijin had already known about his takeover of the "Yufeng Money House" and wanted to use the development of the Northwest as bait to squeeze his wallet dry!
After a censor was shocked, he finally remembered what he should say.
"Cement is the prescription presented by Lord Cheng, the colorless and slurry glass..."
"It's her."
Glassware is used to harvest rich leeks. Cheng Qing said that after the northwest is cut, she has to go to the grassland to cut. She wants the nobles on the grassland to indulge in enjoyment. The most exquisite glassware, the best porcelain, the most beautiful silk, the most expensive tea, etc. When the nobles of the grassland began to spend silver on material enjoyment and began to live intoxication and die in a dream, the second Agula in the grassland could never come out.
Although glassware can earn money for the national treasury, when it comes to developing the Great Wei Dynasty, cement and other things are more valuable and are the country's important tools.
In addition to County Magistrate Hu, Meng Huaijin also met with the student representatives of the county school. Several students were quite decent in front of the emperor and did not embarrass Cheng Qing.
He Wan’s weaving workshop is also a key place to visit, and He Wan and Dahu Shao were summoned.
The officials in the northwest were confused throughout the whole process. As soon as they solved a doubt, new doubts would emerge and let them take a quick look. They couldn't figure out what Cheng Qing was doing in Qin'an. Until Meng Huaijin said he wanted to promote Qin'an County to Qin'an Prefecture, a few officials came to their senses.
Qin'an County was promoted to Qin'an Prefecture, so wouldn't Qin'an Prefecture become Qin'an Prefecture?
I don’t know whether the emperor wants Qin'an to become a Zhili Prefecture or a Sanzhou. Zhili Prefecture is the same as the prefecture, and the prefecture is equivalent to the prefect.
The magistrate is the seventh rank, the magistrate of Zhili Prefecture is the fourth rank, and Cheng Qing has collapsed in the third rank in a row!
However, compared with Cheng Qing's political achievements and her origin as a six-yuan student and the top scorer, it is not an exaggeration to become a magistrate after several years of entering the officialdom.
As early as the Chengping period, before Cheng Qing was exiled to the northwest, she was the fourth-ranked Zhanshu Mansion. In short, she spent several years in the northwest and made political achievements, but she returned to her original official rank.
Mr. Zhang is in a complicated mood.
The Minister of Rites is a third rank. If Cheng Qing rises further, he will be on the same level as him. When the New Emperor ascended the throne, Mr. Zhang expected such a day, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
Cheng Qing will definitely not stop at the prefect of Qin'an... Meng Huaijin came to the northwest to deal with three things. First, he confirmed that the jurisdiction of the northwest belongs to the Yewang Mansion. This matter is difficult to deal with in the capital. He will encounter various obstacles in the court, and it is easier to deal with away from the center. As long as he ignores the opposition of the censors.
Second, using oneself as bait eliminates the hidden dangers of King Shu and Cheng Zhiyuan. Although Prince Yu Zhang's old subordinates still exist, without Cheng Zhiyuan, those people became a pile of loose sand and could no longer gather.
Third, Meng Huaijin wants to open border trade in the northwest and grasslands!
The grassland submitted a letter of surrender, and now the Great Wei has the final say. Meng Huaijin issued an order to establish the Northwest Trade Department and select relevant talents to serve in the Northwest Trade Department. Cheng Qing did not avoid relatives and recommended his eldest disciple Rong Jing.
Rong Jing was a child of the Rong family in Yangzhou. He had a family background. He received a letter of recommendation from Governor Shi of the Cao Transportation Bureau. He also had the credit for exploring information from various grassland tribes. With the full support of Cheng Qing, he was appointed as the head of the Northwest Trade Department.
The head of the company is only a sixth rank, so he is considered a small official.
But Rong Jing became a sixth-rank official as soon as he entered the officialdom. How could those who have studied hard for many years and failed to get the sourness and decay?
The Northwest Trade Department was temporarily assigned to the Ministry of Revenue, equivalent to the Ministry of Revenue, and the chief official was a fifth-rank doctor. Meng Huaijin still decided on this position from the Ministry of Personnel, and he chose Cui Junchen, who was awarded the title of Guanwailang for his merits.
Who is Cui Junchen?
Officials in the northwest were very unfamiliar with this name, but Mr. Zhang remembered it.
Cui Junchen is the famous Mr. Cui in the capital. He is a businessman and his son Cui Peng participated in the rebellion. Mr. Cui is intact and has a false position as a minister.
It doesn’t matter what origin this person is. It’s important that he has an identity as Cui Yan, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue!
Cui Yan has been highly valued by the new emperor in the past two years. If it weren't for his low qualifications, even the Minister of Revenue would have given Cui Yanteng a place.
Moreover, Cui Yan is Cheng Qing's third brother-in-law... Co-organized the newly established Northwest Trade Department, the head of the Cheng family is a relative and the adjutant is Cheng Qing's disciple. Then the entire Northwest Trade Department is clearly the surname Cheng!
The Cui family is now a father and son who are both lacking "doctors" in the Ministry of Revenue, and their lintel is getting taller!
Cui Junchen gradually got older and could not work in the Northwest Trade Department for a few years. The position of chief doctor of the Trade Department was kept for Rong Jing sooner or later.
Mr. Zhang understood these twists and turns, but did not say anything.
The emperor planned and then acted, and before coming to the northwest, there was a constitution, so no matter who opposed it, it was useless.
On the one hand, he said that he would allocate the northwest to the Yewang Mansion to govern, but on the other hand, Qin Anzhou was out of it, and then set up a Northwest Trade Department to launch all the direct descendants of Cheng Qing. I wonder what the Yewang Xiao Yunting thought?
Xiao Yunting, who watched everything coldly, said that he had no fluctuations in his heart, but actually quit the group chat while cursing.
——Meng Huaijin has been emperor for three years, and now he is really good at his skills. Even he can't see through it!
Meng Huaijin spent the Spring Festival in Qin'anzhou during the third year of the new year.
After the visit, all the officials in the northwest were driven away by Meng Huaijin. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Huaijin wore a regular dress and stood with Cheng Qing in a newly built glass warm room in Qin'anzhou.
The cold wind whistles outside the warm room, but it is as warm as spring. All kinds of flowers are in bud. There are also good varieties cultivated by county students. Meng Huai Jin grows like jade, without any of the majesty of an emperor.
