Chapter 438 Multi-party arrangements, talent training

What is the situation! ?

Seeing Patriarch Liu who was kneeling down and crying bitterly, Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment!
Did I say something? ?
Didn't say anything! !
"Mr. Wuzhou, benevolent, benevolent, benevolent, benevolent, benevolent, benevolent, just now has such a great compassionate heart, and the people are in danger, and the villain admires it. In the past, every time I went to Liaodong, I felt deep into the smelly land. The Jurchens are savage and cruel, and they harmed our Ming people. However, the little man is weak and powerless. For this reason, I often cry day and night. Today, Mr. Wuzhou is merciful. .”

Wang Xuan stared at the boss, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, this Liu Patriarch is indeed a talent, this flattery is eloquent, which made Wang Xuan feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Xuan quickly stretched out his hand to press down, if he doesn't stop him, who knows what nasty words this guy will say.

"Remember, just let me handle the matter well, and I won't let you suffer. When you come back, everyone will give you six taels of silver."

Hearing this, Patriarch Liu was overjoyed. Originally, he had the mentality of doing things for Wang Xuan even if he lost money. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wuzhou was indeed benevolent! ! !

"My villain, thank you sir for your mercy."

"Okay, you go."

After Patriarch Liu left, Wang Xuan couldn't help sighing, this person is in a high position, it is inevitable that someone will flatter him, that is, himself, with a firm mind, otherwise, he would really be deceived by these guys.

This matter was handed over to Patriarch Liu, so he didn't think much about it, and it didn't cost much in total, so he didn't care at all.

Turning his head, he focused more on the opening of Xiaoliuqiu. At this time, a main port and two ordinary ports had already been built, and three inland towns were also under construction.

Fortunately, manpower is sufficient, tools are available in cash, and various preparations are in place. From setting fire to the ground, to sprinkling lime to clean up all kinds of silverfish, plus the investment in masonry and cement, most of the construction of Changhua County has been completed, and the rest will be completed. It is not in a hurry to gradually expand in the future.

The rest of the main energy is construction, leading to the roads in the villages opened by the major families.

At this time, the major families migrated ranging from more than 3000 households with tens of thousands of people to more than 5000 households with a population of nearly 2. Coupled with sufficient land reclamation tools, a large number of wastelands were reclaimed.

Just now alone, the reclaimed land is less than one million mu, and the first season of grain has been planted. Now, the second batch of wasteland is already being reclaimed, and the speed is faster than Wang Xuan expected.

Sure enough, in order to get more and occupy more, these big families have gone crazy. They would rather abandon the land in Fujian for a quarter, and speed up the enclosure in Xiaoliuqiu.

Of course, the cost would be really high in this way, just to feed these people would cost a lot, and other construction materials such as building villages were purchased from Wang Xuan.

A part of Xiaoliuqiu is self-produced, and some are transported by sea from Fujian. The cost is relatively high. Although it is possible to build thatched huts with local materials, it takes too much time and manpower. For the speed of land reclamation, these people would rather spend more money.

For a while, because of the development of Xiaoliuqiu, Fujian's industrial and commercial scale has taken another big step forward.

Just collecting taxes, this month can reach the amount of taxes paid in the past year.

I believe that after one year, Xiaoliuqiu will become a big granary, feeding millions of people without any trouble.

However, this kind of land reclamation activity did arouse the dissatisfaction of the ethnic minorities in the mountains, and conflicts often occurred.

For this reason, Wang Xuan specially stationed a group of troops in the three counties, with 1500 troops in each county, stationed in three places to guard against the barbarians in the mountains.

In addition, look for those who can communicate with the barbarians in the mountains, and go into the mountains to persuade the barbarians to trade or go down the mountain to live.

……

In the capital, the mansion of Li Shantang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

"Mr. Yuan, this way please." A man who looked like a butler was leading a middle-aged man with a thin face and a three-wisp mustache towards the inside.

"It's troublesome." Yuan Chonghuan hurried back politely. He didn't know why Li Shantang, the new minister of the Ministry of War, was looking for him. If he was in his hometown in Guangdong, he would still be a celebrity, but in the capital where all the scholars gathered at this time, he would be nothing. It's nothing more than one of the candidates.

This is not the first time he has come to the capital to rush for the exam. The few fellow villagers he knows have called on him early on, but he has no chance to meet the high officials in the court, and he does not know him at all.

Leng Buding was called to the door at the inn, saying that the Minister of the Ministry of War wanted to see him, and he was startled, thinking it was a joke from his fellow countrymen.

Walking into the mansion, he felt a little uncertain, not knowing what Li Shantang wanted him for.

Not long after, Yuan Chonghuan saw an old man with a smile on his face. Looking at the attitude of the butler beside him, he guessed that this was Li Shantang, and quickly saluted respectfully, "The student has met Mr. Li."

"You are Yuan Chonghuan, that's right, that's right, don't be arrogant or impetuous, come and sit down." Li Shantang said a lot about the person Wang Xuan specially recruited, and he was also a little curious about why Wang Xuan valued him.

"Thank you, my lord." Yuan Chonghuan walked over and sat down. There was another person sitting at the table, who looked somewhat familiar.

"This is Hong Chengchou, a native of Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, a Jinshi of the last session."

Li Shantang introduced it to him, and the two hurriedly greeted each other.

Although they are not from the same hometown, they should have met each other during the last exam. It's just that one is on the list and the other is not in Sun Shan, so they don't know each other.

Hong Chengchou is nine years younger than Yuan Chonghuan. Of course, he has a lot more talents and names. Yuan Chonghuan has heard of the other party's name.

"You two are not much different in age, and you are both good-looking talents. In the future, get closer." Li Shantang drank a cup of tea and continued: "You two must be curious, why did you suddenly ask you to come here?"

"I also ask the old governor (Master Li) to give advice." Hong Chengchou called the old governor to appear close, after all, Li Shantang was still the governor of Fujian not before, and Yuan Chonghuan could only call the old governor honestly.

"I was also entrusted by someone to train and take care of the two of you in Beijing. Of course, the future depends on the hard work of the two of you."

Hong Chengchou and Yuan Chonghuan looked at each other, wondering in their hearts, who can know both of them at the same time, and who can let Li Shantang take the initiative to take care of them?
However, since Li Shantang didn't say who it was, it's not easy for them to ask. They have made it very clear how they see themselves in the future, that is to say, if they don't meet the requirements, there is no need to know.

In any case, they were very excited to be taken care of by the minister of the Ministry of War in the future. This is a serious second-rank senior member of the court, a minister, and one of the most powerful figures in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Seniority is the most important thing in the officialdom. If there is no one to support them, they have to go through it step by step. If there is a way, one step is the first, step by step. If they are supported by Li Shantang, their future will be even brighter.

At this moment, both of them had uncontrollable smiles on their faces. If they didn't dare to lose their composure in front of Li Shantang, they would have jumped up and cheered for a while.

Especially Yuan Chonghuan, meeting a nobleman before taking the exam at this moment is an excellent omen, and it seems that Jinshi is expected in a few years.

"Thank you for your support, my lord. The students will never forget it." Without thinking too much, the two got up and saluted respectfully.

"Okay, sit down." Li Shantang waved his hand, and continued: "Hong Chengchou, you are still an editor at the Imperial Academy. Later, I will find someone to transfer you to the Ministry of War. You are willing."

"Thank you for your kindness, and the students are willing!" Of course he is willing. The Imperial Academy is a place to cultivate talents. Basically, those who rely on middle school scholars have to hone in there for a few years before they will be released to serve as officials. Of course, if there is no It may take ten or eight years to be supported by others, and it may be three to two years if someone supports you, it all depends on your connections.

If the contacts are strong enough, there may be real shortages waiting without even entering the Imperial Academy. For example, Yuan Chonghuan now, Li Shantang said, as long as he can win the Jinshi, he will get him to the Ministry of War to walk under his command.

This is the pie in the sky, it hit the two of them for no reason, and the two of them were still in a daze after they went out.

It's not that the two of them are not calm enough, you know, especially for Yuan Chonghuan, this is equivalent to having a position of deputy director level waiting for him before he takes the civil service exam, so it's strange to be able to calm down.

Even Hong Chengchou was a member of the Party History Office who sorted out documents. Suddenly he was valued by a certain minister, transferred to an important position, and was taken care of by the minister. It would be strange if he was not excited.

Outside the gate of the mansion, the two were still in a state of excitement, and they were going to work together again in the future, so they made an appointment to go to a restaurant for a drink to get acquainted with each other.

During the period, the two also talked about who could ask Li Shantang to take care of them like this. People who have a common understanding can only sigh in the end, and they are no longer entangled.

However, Hong Chengchou was already wondering if it was Wang Xuan. Three years ago, Wang Xuan was already well-known in Fujian, and he also established Linfeng Academy. He, Hong Chengchou, was also one of them. In addition to the [-] mu of land, the individual donated another [-] mu of land in private, which was directly put together for him.

In the past three years in the capital, he often communicated with his family. He also learned some things about Wang Xuan in his heart. Now Wang Xuan is the real king of Fujian, especially the extermination of the seven major families and the rectification of the guards. , an army of [-], re-determined the acres of land and the new tax law, it can be said to be overwhelming, the people of Fujian only know that there is Wang Xuan, but they don't know that there is an imperial court!
And Li Shantang is the governor of Fujian, he must have a deep friendship with Wang Xuan, and he is the only one who can easily instigate Li Shantang.

Of course, even if he made a good guess, he would not tell Yuan Chonghuan. Although he is nine years younger than Yuan Chonghuan, he has matured too much after three years of experience in the Imperial Academy.

Those who made the move had only plans. Since they hadn't told them, it meant that the time hadn't come. It wouldn't do any good to spread the word.
