The Ming Dynasty had two capitals and one thirteen provinces, Huguang was one province, with its jurisdiction including Hubei and Hunan, and its capital was located in Wuchang Prefecture.
The affairs of the province are not subject to the power of one person or one yamen. The three powers of the Government Commission, the Command Commission, and the Censorate Commission are separated, and they are in charge of government, military and judicial affairs. The three yamen are equal in the ranks.When Zhang Ning arrived in Huguang, he was first treated by the people from Wuchang Prefecture, and due to the rank rules, the second-rank officials would not come to greet him in person, but sent people and soon met in the yamen. It can be seen that the officials in Huguang treated the reception of the inspectors as a relatively important matter.
The inn in Huguang was instructed by the local magistrate, and he also received food, accommodation and food. Zhang Ning was more conservative in this matter, but his peers and Wu Yong and other followers could not be treated too badly. In desperation, he made some money.
It is also very convenient to stay at Wuchang Prefecture. The prefecture and county government offices have all the central government offices, and just stay in the prison office. There are still people who are responsible for the supply of three meals a day.
Zhang Ning and his group stayed in Wuchang Mansion first, handed over official duties and social engagements during the day, and discussed the matter when they came back at night.
The emperor handed over the matter to the inspector. How to carry out the work must have a plan. If you can't come, you can eat, drink, check in cash and do nothing.
At this time, Wu Yong took out a document. Zhang Ning opened it and saw the two red words "Automatic" at the first glance. He immediately understood that he could only obey the order.
This is Hu Ying's handwriting, which states that in addition to writing the letter after the progress has been made, the usual report should be written in text for Hu Ying to keep it in custody.
After seeing it, Zhang Ning handed it to Wu Yong: It should be what Lord Hu said.The seventh-rank inspector's imperial envoy is also restricted and cannot take the emperor's token to do whatever he wants.
The fat Wu Yong said indifferently: In the future, when you are busy, you can order the next official to write the documents. Let’s discuss and report it before you can.
Of course, Zhang Ning couldn't just say that Wu Yong was here to restrain himself, so he had to nod his head seriously and said: The emperor asked us to inspect Huguang, not mainly for military, political and judicial, nor for people's livelihood. The only important purpose is to ward off cults.Therefore, we don’t have to point fingers at the governance and justice of various prefectures and counties in Huguang. If we have clear goals, we will be organized.
There were four people sitting up and down, which was a small meeting.
Zhang Ning sat with Lao Xu, Wu Yong and Zhan Zhuli to talk about the matter, but Zhao Erniang also brought tea and water in the room. In fact, five people were involved in the matter for the first time.
Zhang Ning talked about the opening remarks and opened the topic. Wu Yong said: We had contacted the cult ward off the cult when we went to Yongshun Si to investigate the Xianghui case last time. Even Lord Hu believed that it would take a long time to slowly penetrate to understand the inside story... Therefore, the officials believed that the most appropriate way to do this was to follow the previous interview.
Mr. Wu said very much. The emperor appointed me to do this job, so he should also like me as an interviewer and had experience.Since that's the case, we should follow the old ways.
Zhang Ning said seriously, but he had to think that the institutional model was too rigid, but it didn't matter. Anyway, he didn't plan to take serious action against the cult warding. Would he want to plot against his mother?
It’s just that the work must be carried out and the work must be done.
He paused and continued: The first major thing now is to set up an interview agency.To do this, first of all, choose an office place; secondly, select people to organize the upper and lower levels, and each performs its duties; finally, set up rules, divide powers, contact information, reward and punishment laws, etc.... After setting up a "study troupe", we will discuss and arrange a plan before we can "sing opera".Mr. Wu thought this arrangement was right?
Zhang Ning was quite reliable in handling the matter. At least he came up with a charter so that everyone could know what to do and how to do it.
Otherwise, the group of people who came were in the dark eyes and were criticized for pointing fingers everywhere, and the headless flies would not have any effect.
He had been interviewing for more than a year, and the institutions were ready-made; but now it is not too difficult to copy one according to the things he has seen, because he has authorization, money, connections, and basic conditions are very good.
But in actual operation, Zhang Ning not only needs to set up an interview agency, but also needs to consider Wu Yong's nail.
The key to the problem: Zhang Ning is the inspector and Wu Yong is an assistant, but in fact he is just a surveillance, which is equivalent to the eunuch of the military supervisor in the army. Since that is the case, Zhang Ning does not intend to distribute power to Wu Yong, and he does not want him to get involved too much. He discusses with him during decision-making just to give face.
Therefore, Zhang Ning assigned a task to ask Lao Xu to go to Changde Mansion to choose a place, because Changde Mansion is close to Yongshun Mansion and facilitates contact between the upper and lower levels; Yongshun Mansion is a chieftain, so it is inconvenient to set up the chieftain in the chieftain city.
The little leader of the secret spy was handed over to Zhao Erniang because she had worked in this industry before and knew many people. She asked her to choose a few people to build a framework and then buy and expand the details to be a secret spy.
Zhang Ning also planned to let Xu Wenjun take charge of the accounts and Old Xu was the chief leader; in addition, he asked Changde Mansion for an individual, Du Fang, the governor of the last time.
Everything excludes Wu Yong's people, and Wu Yong has some opinions in his words.
But of course Zhang Ning doesn't care about him...
The court's official documents did not say that Wu Yong had the power to control the inspection. Wu Yong was only here to monitor at most, and the power was in the hands of Zhang Ning.
Why did Zhang Ning delegate power to him?
That would be a bit too kind.
Wu Yong really wants to separate power, so he has to find a way to fight for it, otherwise there will be no feast in the world.
Obviously, Hu Ying is an experienced politician, but not a person who can consider perfect everything. In Zhang Ning's opinion, he used Wu Yong this time, which was actually a mistake.
Wu Yong is a man with many experiences and many ideas, but he is just a competitive spirit of weakness.
He is not entirely pretending to be easy-going and indifferent. People like him have no ambition to design their power.
So when the situation was not conducive to Wu Yong, he seemed weak and powerless when he thought that Zhang Ning was snatching food from the bowl, which meant that he was dissatisfied with his words, and Zhang Ning ignored him.
At worst, Wu Yong will report it next, and this will be repeated. Even if Hu Ying finds a way to counter it, it will be too late.
By then, the interview has been established, and the team is managed by Zhang Ning's people. It may not be easy to intervene at that time.
Lao Xu quickly chose a place. There was a garden on the bank of Yuanshui that was the property of the public. Zhang Ning could negotiate with the government office to requisition the garden in the name of the inspector's censor. Lao Xu suggested that a tea shop could be opened, which could solve many problems like the Biyuan in Yangzhou: the interview headquarters could not be concealed in the government, but it did not need to be known to everyone. A tea garden could effectively avoid the attention of ordinary people; it could solve part of the funds; and the personnel from the interview office could be placed.
It has a comprehensive function and is the path that Hu Ying’s subordinates have explored before.
Of course, Lao Xu highly recommends this method, and may also want to fulfill his attempt to take over Biyuan.
Zhang Ning has already made a statement that he will be the chief leader in detail, and Wenjun is in charge of the account, so they can be in charge of the affairs of the garden...
If it is properly managed, it is very oily and watery.
He was originally a military officer, but for some reason he became interested in doing business.
When Lao Xu came back to report, Wu Yong and others were also present, but Lao Xu said that he didn't care about them in this way. He said enthusiastically: The garden is close to the most famous Yuanshui in Changde Prefecture, and the scenery is very good; nearby is the Chenghuang Temple. It is said that the temple fair is crowded with people and there are many people in normal times.The most appropriate thing is that the garden is under the name of the government, and there is no additional funding budget for requisition, and it is actually a Feng Shui treasure land.
I will go to Changde Mansion tomorrow and meet with the prefect for negotiation.Lao Xu and I will go with you and wait for the place to be requisitioned and you will prepare for opening a tea shop.Zhang Ning said immediately.
Some joy appeared on Lao Xu's face.
At this time, Zhang Ning found that Wu Yong seemed to be talking, so he rushed to say unceremoniously: By the way, there is another thing. We lack a messenger. I am afraid that only Zhan Zhuli can do the job if he needs someone to trust.Mr. Wu has to take charge of the overall situation with me, and we have to discuss everything.
Wu Yong's face looked a little ugly, as if he had been knocked down and swallowed it into his stomach.
Everything has to be discussed, what is easy to discuss, the decision-making power is in Zhang Ning's hands...
Just like the relationship between the doctor and the Yuanwailang, the Yuanwailang is equivalent to the deputy doctor, but he cannot deny the doctor's decision, so he has no real power, so he is regarded as a free job.
On the same day, Zhang Ning decided to go to Changde Mansion, leaving only one entourage in the steward, waiting for Zhao Erniang and her party to come back from Nanzhili to report the news.
The next day, Zhang Ning went to Wuchang Prefecture's Chengxuan Zhengzheng Department to meet with several reception officials and told them about their itinerary.
In this way, the General Administration Commission will issue official documents to Changde Prefecture to let the government office receive the inspectors. At that time, the prefect of Changde Prefecture will definitely not dare to neglect the letters from his superiors. It should be much easier for Zhang Ning to negotiate the requisition of the garden.
After making arrangements, the main things gradually became apparent. Such things seemed very complicated, but they were just cumbersome, and everything itself was not difficult.
Zhang Ning remembered another thing along the way: how to contact Yao Ji again.
I think it is only possible to find a way to contact me. Otherwise, it will be difficult for those who ward off the cult to grasp the whereabouts of Zhang Ning and others for a while, unless the power of ward off the cult to infiltrate the provincial government-level government offices, but this possibility is relatively small.
At this time, Zhang Ning had gained a certain degree of authority among his fellow travelers. He was very purposeful and organized in his work, as if everything was clear...
But he always felt aimless in his heart and could not find a breakthrough in the whole market.
Dongting Lake has beautiful mountains and rivers and a land of fish and rice. Zhang Ning walks through it, and the vastness of the world is, but he doesn’t know where the road is?
Two identities, which one should the descendants of the court's official and the rebellion party go?
There are always people who are guarding against being an official, and what is the point of being an official? Jianwen is in the morning and evening, and his future is bleak and he has almost no way out. How can he go to when he abandons his identity as the ruling class...
At this moment, Old Xu asked: Boss, should we go to Changde Mansion by land or water?The land route is fast, but the crossing of the Huguang water network is very troublesome. If you don’t need to change the car and ship frequently, it’s slow.
The affairs of the province are not subject to the power of one person or one yamen. The three powers of the Government Commission, the Command Commission, and the Censorate Commission are separated, and they are in charge of government, military and judicial affairs. The three yamen are equal in the ranks.When Zhang Ning arrived in Huguang, he was first treated by the people from Wuchang Prefecture, and due to the rank rules, the second-rank officials would not come to greet him in person, but sent people and soon met in the yamen.
