"Ready?"

In Jiujiang Pavilion, in Zhou Zheng’s small living room, Han Cheng and Zhou Zheng sat opposite each other, took a sip of tea, Han Cheng said with a smile.

Zhou Zhengdao: "It's almost done, I'm expected to do this in early March."

Han Cheng was still very happy that Zhou Zheng left the capital and went to the place to do something, and said, "That's good, don't worry about Jiujiang Pavilion. With us a few old guys here, there will be no big mess."

Jiujiang Pavilion is actually relatively safe. First, there is nothing to do, and second, the six words "spreading the education of saints" are enough to overwhelm many people and things.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Lao has trouble."

Han Cheng smiled and then said, "I heard that Master Feng is going to be imprisoned?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zheng put down the teapot and nodded slightly.

Han Cheng had no smile on his face and silently picked up the teacup again.

The government and the public were very happy for Emperor Chongzhen to clear the eunuch party. They kept praising the new emperor as the "saint king", waiting for all the treacherous and slandering to leave, and the people were in full dynasty.

But Han Cheng is not an ordinary person. He stayed away from the court and watched coldly, as if he was watching the fire.

He had seen some problems. The new emperor did not clean up the eunuch party for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but more like "venting personal anger". It has been several months since the court became more and more chaotic, without any sign of purity.

What's more, Shi Fenglai and Lai Zongdao, who had traces of eunuchs, entered the cabinet one after another, casting a shadow on the expectation of Shilin's "Zhongzhengxianggong".

If we continue to liquidate the cabinet ministers, especially Huang Liji, it will probably cause greater chaos in the government and the opposition, and new party disputes will arise.

Han Cheng was quite worried about the North Korean bureau, but he was helpless. He was silent for a while and said to Zhou Zheng with a smile: "I heard that the official Bitang and Ling Zun are preparing to eliminate the redundant soldiers, rebuild the stations, and formulate a new assessment of local officials. This is still very insightful and effective..."

Zhou Zheng was also quite happy about this and said with a smile: "I heard from my father that he said something. Mr. Bi was sleeping at night and was about to do a big fight."

Without Zhou Qingli saying anything, Zhou Zheng could see the memorial of the Ministry of Revenue’s plan submitted by the Ministry of Revenue.

Bi Ziyan prepared to ask the merchants to transport grain and devour the redundant soldiers and labor, check the flaws of military pay, develop paddy fields in Jingdong, investigate hidden fields in the world, establish military garrisons, etc., which was very praised by Emperor Chongzhen. He also prepared to compile a list of taxes and service, crack down on corruption, and even planned to clear the land of the officials in the past, which was really effective.

Han Cheng just said this and didn't say anything more, and the topic shifted to the development of Jiujiang Pavilion.

Half an hour later, Han Cheng left.

Zhou Zhenggang saw him away and returned to the office. Kou Huaiyi followed in.

When Zhou Zheng saw him, he looked upset and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Kou Huaiyi raised his hand and said, "Boss, I still hope to stay in the capital. Please forgive me."

Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, looked at Kou Huaiyi's embarrassment and nodded slightly.

Kou Huaiyi is good at abilities, calm and generous in his work. Zhou Zheng really hopes to take him away.

Everyone has their own ambitions, but Zhou Zheng did not stop him and said, "Okay, where do you want to go, I will recommend it to you."

Kou Huaiyi struggled and said, "I want to go to the Ministry of Revenue, but the boss is worried. I will stay in Jiujiang Pavilion until August to ensure that Jiujiang Pavilion will be in the track and there will be no chaos."

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly and said, "No need to be nervous. You are a temporary stopgap in Jiujiang Pavilion. The Ministry of Revenue... The Salt Class Training Department, Deputy Director, and the Seventh-ranked Master, how about it?"

It is a great blessing to be able to enter the officialdom. It is a seventh rank at once. It is difficult for ordinary people to have this opportunity. Kou Huaiyi immediately raised his hand and said happily: "Thank you, Kou Huaiyi will never forget the kindness of the boss's support!"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I will make arrangements in the past few days, so you can prepare it too."

Kou Huaiyi has been waiting for this day. Seeing that it was right in front of him, he looked excited and raised his hand and said, "Yes, Kou Huaiyi has retreated."

Zhou Zheng looked at Kou Huaiyi's back and thought about it, and had to see some people again.

For example, Tian Zhenshu, Hu Qingzheng, Ma Shiying, Zhang Heyi, Yao Tongshun and others.

Zhou Zheng has been running outside these days, preparing to leave Beijing.

It was late at night when Zhou Zhengcai came back from outside, smelling of alcohol.

Zhou Fangzheng accompanied Zhou Ding to spread the word, and watched him come back in a state of alcohol, and said angrily: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, can you stop drinking?"

Zhou Zheng was still very clear-headed and smiled and accused Zhou Ding of the family: "Sister-in-law, I will pay attention next time."

Zhou Ding took photos of Zhou Fang next time and said, "Don't listen to your elder brother, haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go to the kitchen to put a bowl of noodles for you."

Zhou Qiaoshi was a little hungry and hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng with annoyance. When Zhou Ding left with a smile, he said, "I don't dare to send you a sir, you are not polite."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "That's the virtuous sister-in-law."

Zhou Fang just said something and then said, "Are you ready?"

The fact that Zhou Zheng was about to leave Beijing was discussed long ago, and both the Zhou father and son knew about it.

Zhou Zheng sniffed a sip of alcohol and said, "The matter outside is almost over. When I find a chance, I will ask someone to recommend it. It's basically no problem."

It is actually very easy to play out with Zhou Zheng's ability.

Zhou Fang didn't care about this and thought, "Dad said before that he wanted to help you fight for it, but I don't know how to fight for it. Moreover, you probably have some problems with your qualifications."

Zhou Zheng’s qualifications have only been in office for half a year. With the problem of “education”, it is indeed easy if someone wants to get stuck.

Zhou Zheng didn't care and said, "I don't know how many people want me to leave quickly, don't worry."

Zhou Fang nodded and then said, "The place in Yongping Prefecture is behind Ji Liao, a messy place. Dragons and snakes come out together, and it is in chaos. You must be careful."

Zhou Zheng nodded and thought to himself, he had prepared so much, and if he had to fold it on the place, it would be a joke.

As the two said, Zhou Qingli was back, and the three of them went to Zhou Qingli's study as they used to.

In the study, the three father and son each held a bowl of noodles, eating and talking about the affairs of the government.

Zhou Qingli said with some emotion: "I and Shangshu Bi are still sorting out the government affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, and I can no longer describe it as a mess."

Zhou Zheng was eating noodles by himself, but there was no comment.

The Ming Dynasty's government has been collapsing since Jiajing. Although many capable ministers, such as Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng, were unable to stop this trend, especially the abolition of Zhang Juzheng's reform, and the continuous wars have continuously triggered the corruption of the government.

Of course, party struggles are also a major reason.

Zhou Qingli just said this, then looked up at Zhou Zheng, and said, "The prefect of Yongping Prefecture has been vacant for half a year. It should not be difficult for you to go. But in the north of Yongping Prefecture, there are two towns in Jiliao, and they have been drained long ago, so it is inevitable to work hard."

When Liaodong was in wars, money, food and people were needed, so it was naturally drawn nearby. Yongping Mansion had been almost exhausted in recent years.
