Chapter 277 Arrangements for Jingzhou’s Military and Political Affairs
If you want to serve in the capital, you must first hand over the military power in Jingzhou, and then the government affairs.

Yuan Rujiang is very curious about who the military empress of Jingzhou will let take over?Who will be the next governor of Jingzhou?
"You are talking about the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, who will the queen ask to take over? In fact, I am more optimistic about the boy Mingxian, but Mingxian is currently fighting in Liaodong and the grasslands. It is impossible for the court to recall him. Changing generals before the battle is taboo. .”

"Not to mention you, my lord, even my subordinates are curious about who the imperial court will send to take over Jingzhou."

The staff may have some speculations about the personnel in Jingzhou and the officials of the imperial court, but he has no clue about the queen at that time, and her style of dealing with people is confusing.

The official handover will be arranged by Yuan Rujiang. Now that he has made the decision, he will send a message to the back house to let the family prepare. When he receives the order, the whole family will go to Beijing together.

The Yuan family has lived in Jingzhou for decades. The family properties and personal property are basically located in Jingzhou. It still takes time to deal with these properties.

The third room of the Yuan family received the news, and Yuan Rongcheng asked the servant to send all his private property deeds to the backyard.

Li Yuzhu took a stack of land deeds from the boy's hand and asked, "Where is your father? Why didn't he come back and asked you to hand it over?"

The boy lowered his head and replied: "I have gone out to do some errands and will be back in the afternoon. For the specific details, the third young lady can ask the third master then."

Li Yuzhu glanced at his personal maid Xia Zhi. The little maid took out a purse and stuffed it into the boy's hand and sent him out.

When the maid Xiaohe and others left, she smiled happily, feeling happy for Li Yuzhu, "Miss, the third master is all about you. Now he is about to return to the capital. He even handed over his private property to your hands. How can he How much I trust you, this really corresponds to the saying that husband and wife are one, sharing weal and woe."

After listening to the maid's words, Li Yuzhu's eyebrows curved, which showed that her heart was filled with honey, and even the air around her was sweet.The weight of the stack of land deeds in his hand is self-evident.

"Xiao He, what do you think we should do with these properties?"

Xiao He looked at the young lady who was immersed in happiness, thought for a while and said: "I don't understand this. Young lady, you should wait for the third master to come back and discuss it with the third master. If it is for sale, it will definitely not be sold at a good price in a short time." ."

Li Yuzhu counted the number of land deeds, thought for a while, and nodded: "You are right. We will wait until my husband comes back. I have to ask his opinion. There is always a decision whether to sell or keep these properties."

By the time Yuan Rongcheng came back, it was already time to light the lamp.

Li Yuzhu waited for him to wash up, handed him the warm handkerchief, and asked with concern: "Why did your husband come back at this hour after being so busy today?"

Yuan Rongcheng paused slightly as he took the handkerchief, then wiped his face naturally, wiped his hands again and said with a smile: "I'm not busy with anything today. I just went to say goodbye to Brother Ming in advance. I will spend the next few days with him." I thought I would be busy and might not have time to get together with them. But I didn’t expect Brother Ming to also have plans to leave Jingzhou in the near future, so we couldn’t help but chat for a while.”

Li Yuzhu was shocked when he heard this, "You Haiming is also planning to leave Jingzhou? Where are they going?"

"I heard that he was defecting to relatives, and his relatives happened to be in the capital, so we discussed that he and his family would follow our team for safety reasons." Yuan Rongcheng put the handkerchief in the basin. Inside, he took Li Yuzhu's hand and walked to the table and sat down together.

Xiao He placed the filled lotus root and bone soup in front of the two of them. Li Yuzhu pushed one of the bowls in front of Yuan Rongcheng and said softly: "My husband has been busy outside for a day. He must be hungry. Let's drink some soup first to warm him up." Warm the stomach.”

There was helplessness in Yuan Rongcheng's eyes, "I noticed that since you married in Jingzhou, you seem to have fallen in love with stewed lotus root and bone soup. How did you develop the habit of drinking soup before meals?"

Li Yuzhu took a little soup with a spoon, tasted it, and explained with a smile: "Wouldn't it be a waste not to eat the lotus root, which is abundant in Jingzhou? Moreover, the old lotus root stewed in soup is very powdery and glutinous, and the soup is also sweet, don't you think? Is it very delicious?”

As she said that, she pointed to the soup bowl again: "As for the habit of drinking soup before meals, I probably developed it in Lingnan. I think drinking a few mouthfuls of hot soup before meals can warm the stomach first, which is good for the stomach and the body. There are benefits to all. Especially in winter, it’s so comfortable to drink hot soup in the cold weather.”

Yuan Rongcheng nodded: "If you like to eat, eat more. It may be difficult to eat Jingzhou's lotus roots when you return to the capital."

Li Yuzhu may like to eat lotus root, but he has long been tired of eating it since he was a snack, and he really doesn't find it very delicious.

Li Yuzhu took a small bite of the lotus root. It was pink and glutinous and really delicious. "I asked my servants to make a lot of lotus root starch. When I return to the capital, I will bring it back to the palace. Grandma likes to eat lotus root starch."

Yuan Rongcheng had no objection to this, but just told her: "Since it is for the Queen, you should be careful on the way and don't let anyone take advantage of it."

"I know, I'll pay attention."

She specially asked her servants to prepare this meal tonight. Seeing his appetite, Li Yuzhu rolled her eyes and asked casually: "Is it with their family that You Haiming went to the capital to join relatives this time?"

"Well, the whole family must go to the capital when they move." Yuan Rongcheng ate a piece of crispy spareribs and praised: "This spareribs is delicious. How did you think of making this kind of meat that is all bones so delicious?" ?”

"Before I got married, I asked the cook to go to my grandmother's small kitchen to learn these dishes for two months. I learned these dishes from my grandmother. If you like to eat, eat more." Li Yuzhu helped him pick up a few pieces with serving chopsticks. .

"I heard that Miss You has been engaged in Jingzhou. She is not young anymore. The family is moving to the capital at this time. What will Miss You do?"

Speaking of this matter, Yuan Rongcheng sighed, with a hint of anger in his tone, "People in the world pay attention to well-matched families when it comes to marriage. The You family is already in decline, and there is already a gap with the Wei family. In addition, the imperial court is preparing to reopen the imperial examination this year. I think... The Young Master of the Wei family is planning to end this year, and he is very sure about it, so he naturally dislikes Miss You because her identity does not match theirs. Just two days ago, the Wei family had canceled their engagement with Miss You."

Li Yuzhu was extremely surprised when he heard this: "Young Master is withdrawing from the engagement at this time. He is not afraid of the world saying that he is treacherous, dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Such a reputation will affect his imperial examination."

Yuan Rongcheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed: "It was Miss You who brought up the matter of breaking off the engagement."

"." Li Yuzhu was shocked, and her mind went blank for a moment. She never thought that it would be Miss Youjia who proposed to break off the engagement, so she would be so willing to do so?
Yuan Rongcheng took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, then wiped his mouth clean and said, "Next time you see Miss You, comfort her more."

Any girl's family would be very sad about breaking off the engagement.

"." Li Yuzhu glanced at him speechlessly and asked, "You don't want to eat?"

"If you don't have an appetite, you can eat." After saying that, Yuan Rongcheng stood up and walked to the couch beside him to sit down.

Immediately, a maid brought tea that had been brewed in advance.

Li Yuzhu silently finished the rice in the bowl and asked the maid to remove the bowl and chopsticks.

She sat at the other end of the soft couch, drinking tea slowly, and neither husband nor wife spoke for a while.

Li Yuzhu didn't like this atmosphere very much. She didn't like her husband to care about other girls, and she hated that other girls could affect his mood.

Whether others said she was jealous or ignorant, she was in a particularly bad mood at the moment.

It's funny to say that the maid said in the morning that the Third Master was all about her, and even his private property could be handed over to her without reservation.

As a result, the slap in the face came so quickly at night. During the day, he went out for another girl, and even his mood when he went home for dinner was affected by the girl.

For a moment, Li Yuzhu felt mixed emotions, sour and sour, and very uncomfortable.She didn't dare to show it in front of Yuan Rongcheng, and she was even more afraid that it would affect their relationship as a couple.
-
Yuan Rujiang didn't have to wait long. About half a month later, the arrival of Ouyang Chuansheng, the governor of Guiyang County, finally revealed the mystery in his heart.

Xia Jing promoted Ouyang Chuansheng, the governor of Guiyang County, directly from the fourth-rank governor to the third-rank governor.Yuan Rujiang enthusiastically invited Ouyang Chuansheng into the lobby, sat down in the host and guest seats, and waited for the maid to serve tea, "Congratulations, Mr. Ouyang!"

Ouyang Chuansheng didn't dare to show off in front of Yuan Rujiang. As soon as he heard his words, he stood up immediately, bowed and said: "We are all happy. I am here this time. Firstly, I want to hand over the work to you, and secondly, I want to congratulate you." Gao Sheng."

Entering the Sixth Ministry is equivalent to stepping into the cabinet with one foot. It can be said that as long as you don't seek death, your official position in this life will only reach the top and become a powerful minister.

The ultimate dream of being a civil servant!

Yuan Rujiang smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly: "I am both happy and worried about entering the Ministry of Household Affairs. Maybe Mr. Ouyang does not understand the difficulty of entering the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although it is said that the internal strife and foreign troubles have been quelled, the entire imperial court still has a lot of trouble." There is a lot of money and food, and the national treasury is in deficit every year. Moreover, Dayu’s elite are still out on the battlefield, burning a lot of money and food every day!”

These things are not secrets. Ouyang Chuansheng just smiled and nodded. He didn't have any good suggestions. Besides, the adult sitting above may not want him to give suggestions.

As expected, then I heard Yuan Rujiang say: "Master Ouyang, we have received the favor from the empress and we will not be able to repay it in the future. We can only serve the court more diligently. Are you right?"

"Yes, your Excellency is right!"

"It's good if you think so. When you are a local official, you should not forget your original intention. And the local government's performance is best reflected in taxes. Jingzhou has always been adhering to the principle of devoting oneself to the country and dedicating everything. I hope that after you take office, you will continue to Keep up this fine tradition.”

Yuan Rujiang's words were serious and thoughtful.

Ouyang Chuansheng's mouth twitched when he heard this, saying that Yuan Rujiang was afraid that he would have wrong ideas about taxes!

However, his worries were in vain. He was a third-rank official and a local feudal official. How could he risk his wealth and life for a small profit?

At this position, money is dispensable to him. He already has a lot of wealth, and power is what he pursues.

Of course, it is true that he serves the court with his heart, and he disdains corruption and perversion of the law.

"Sir, please rest assured that Jingzhou's taxes will never be in arrears during my tenure. It is the most positive thing to definitely turn them over to the national treasury."

Both of them had been promoted, and there was no interest in each other. They were quite happy to get along and talk with each other, and the subsequent handover work also went smoothly.

As soon as the handover of the yamen work was completed, Yuan Rujiang was free. The next time was waiting for the military generals appointed by the imperial court to hand over the military power, so that he could take his family to Beijing.

While waiting for the handover of military power, Yuan Rujiang went to the backyard to inquire about the disposal of his family's property.

The properties of the first and second houses have basically been dealt with. When asked about the third house, Yuan Rongcheng looked at Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu looked up and found that everyone was looking at her, with a blush on her face: "Our three-bedroom property is listed in Yahang, but the buyers I met in the past few days have offered very low prices, so I thought that in this case, I wouldn't be in a hurry. Take action, leaving a general manager here to take charge of Jingzhou, and the industry will take action slowly in the future."

Yuan Chengye, the second oldest brother, listened to her words and looked at his wife, "According to what my siblings said, our property was sold too quickly and the price was too low?"

The Second Young Madam glanced at him and said, "Since you said so, the property we sold will still have to come back, and we can sell it later?"

After hearing her words, Yuan Chengye's face darkened: "How can I be the kind of person who doesn't keep his word? Don't ruin my reputation with your crooked ideas!"

The Second Young Madam noticed her father-in-law's face and snorted coldly, but said no more sarcasm.

On the second day, the decree from the capital arrived, and everyone in the Yuan Mansion went to the front hall to receive the decree.

The father-in-law read out the decree that Yuan Rujiang was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After receiving the decree, he noticed the entourage behind the father-in-law, who was also holding a decree in his hand.

Yuan Rujiang was shocked: "Father, this is"

The father-in-law who delivered the decree picked up another bright yellow decree with a smile, "Yuan Mansion is very happy!"

"Ah?" Yuan Rujiang was confused, two orders?

The father-in-law who delivered the edict did not leave the Yuan family confused for long, and unfolded the imperial edict without any delay: "Yuan Jiarong has accepted the edict!"

"Me?" Yuan Rongcheng pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief.

Yuan Rujiang came to his senses and kicked him, "Kneel down quickly!"

After that, he took the lead and knelt down again.

The general meaning of the whole chapter of the edict is that Yuan Rong has made a lot of contributions to the imperial court in suppressing the rebellion. He has not been rewarded before, but the imperial court has not forgotten his merits and thus made him the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Guards and an official. From the fourth grade.

Dayu separated military and political affairs. From now on, the governor will be in charge of the government affairs of a state, and military power will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the governor.

The Jingzhou Guards Station is under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of the Gyeonggi Camp, and is directly controlled by the emperor. This prevents the military and political affairs of the various states from being in their own hands, and is no different from the former princes and kings.

Yuan Rujiang looked at his third son who was still confused after receiving the imperial edict with a complicated expression. He lowered his head and thought about it for a moment, and suddenly realized that the reason why the emperor issued such an edict was both unexpected and reasonable.

He single-handedly brought out the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. If anyone were to take over, the running-in period would be greatly extended.

However, if the original troops and horses in Jingzhou were handed over to Yuan Rongcheng and his son took over, the generals in the military camp would definitely be convinced and would not have any resistance.

With this arrangement, the transfer of military power can be expected to be smooth and smooth.After a few years, the imperial court may have trained other capable generals from the army, and then they will be handed over. I think the army can be truly controlled by the imperial court smoothly.

Yuan Rujiang thought that such an arrangement must not have been the idea of ​​the emperor, but must have been the idea of ​​the empress.

After seeing off the father-in-law who was delivering the decree, Yuan Rongye patted Yuan Rongcheng's shoulder: "Third brother, your property has not been taken care of. Didn't we get the news a long time ago that we knew you would stay in Jingzhou to take over the army?"

Yuan Rongcheng came back to his senses in a daze, looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, and shook the hand off his shoulder, "Second brother, you are thinking too much!"

Yuan Rongye's hands shook and he didn't care. He turned around and looked at Li Yuzhu: "The third brother didn't get the news in advance. Could it be that the queen gave the news to the third brother and sister?"

Li Yuzhu shook his head: "Second brother is overthinking. I didn't know there would be such an arrangement."

The imperial edict came so suddenly today, which made her mood fluctuate up and down, and she almost had a heart attack.

My husband doesn’t have to go to Beijing with his father-in-law, does that mean he doesn’t have to go with the You family?
Just because she couldn't go back to Beijing to reunite with her family, Li Yuzhu felt a little disappointed!
