Talking about a lot of military affairs, Feng Ziying also focused on the construction of the Army Officer Academy and Navy Officer Academy and the next step.
As the second assistant, it is also necessary to listen to the introduction in this aspect, and Guan Yingzhen is also willing to listen to the situation in these aspects.
Gu Bingqian's performance was not very good, and Guan Yingzhen was not too optimistic.
Under such circumstances, Guan Yingzhen didn't think that Gu Bingqian would be able to stay in the chief assistant position for too long.
The discord between Huang Ruliang and Gu Bingqian has become more and more obvious, and the wrong way in the use of wealth has been going on for a long time, and now the contradiction is becoming more and more obvious.
Once this kind of contradiction is intensified to the point where it is difficult to bridge, it can only be caused by one person.
Gu Bingqian is also constantly wooing and wooing people, but his foundation is not solid. In comparison, Huang Ruliang, who has won almost most of the network resources of Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, is much more stable.
When Gu Bingqian was appointed as the successor, he took into account that he was the second assistant and had a good relationship with Qi Yongtai. In addition, it turned out that Emperor Yonglong had always recognized Gu Bingqian, so he made such an arrangement. Now it seems that such an arrangement should be a mistake.
It's just that now that Qi Yongtai has retired due to illness, it doesn't make much sense to talk about it.
Once Gu Bingqian can't continue, Guan Yingzhen thinks that he should take over as a matter of course, but will Huang Ruliang agree?
Perhaps he would feel that with the support of Jiangnan scholars, it would be more appropriate for him to take over. After all, there is still a considerable gap in influence between Huguang scholars and Jiangnan scholars, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has never had a Huguang scholar for a hundred years. People serve as the first assistant, and the position of the first assistant has always been rotated between scholars from the south of the Yangtze River and scholars from the north.
This is also the biggest hidden worry for Guan Yingzhen.
In the last round, Qi Yongtai, a scholar from the north, took over as the chief assistant. If Gu Bingqian, as a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, did not take over for one full term, then maybe Huang Ruliang felt that it was his turn to take over.
Under such circumstances, Guan Yingzhen also had to consider how he should deal with Huang Ruliang if he wanted to compete with him for the position of chief assistant once such a situation arises.
According to the rules established by Qi Yongtai when he retired from office, if there are no special circumstances, the chief assistant will be selected among the cabinet ministers of the previous cabinet. After one or two candidates are determined, the important ministers will vote to confirm.
The reason why it is said to be one or two is that if there is a dispute, it is impossible to form a consensus in the cabinet.
If a consensus is formed in the cabinet, then a vote of confidence is directly cast among the ministers.
With more than half of the votes of confidence, he was directly confirmed as the chief assistant.
If the vote of confidence is less than half, then it must not be the chief assistant, and a candidate needs to be determined separately.
If there are two candidates, it will be voted by the important ministers, and the one with the most votes will be the chief assistant.
Guan Yingzhen can be sure that Huang Ruliang will definitely not withdraw from the competition for the first assistant, so he will definitely face Huang Ruliang's challenge in the future first assistant vote.
Scholars in the south of the Yangtze River naturally have advantages among important ministers, such as Wusiqing, Tongzhengsi Tongzhengshi, Du Yushi, Deputy Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and eight ministers and ministers, a total of 34 people, plus five There are a total of 40 cabinet ministers and Shuntian governors. If the votes of the two are equal, one vote of the first assistant counts as two votes.
Among them, there are a lot of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, only the scholars in the north can match them, and there are only five or six scholars in Huguang.
If only the Huguang scholars supported him, Guan Yingzhen knew that he would lose, but if he could win the support of some important officials among the northern scholars, then he would be more confident.
In addition to the Beidi, Jiangnan and Huguang scholars, there are also two or three scholars from the Southwest and Lingnan. These scholars have always been dissatisfied with the Jiangnan scholars. This official Yingzhen is confident that he can get their support. So even if the northern scholars don't all support themselves, it is enough to get a certain amount of support.
The key to this is Feng Ziying.
The relationship between Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen has always been at odds, and this is Guan Yingzhen's weakness.
Now that Qiao Yingjia and Feng Ziying's qualifications are too low, it is obviously difficult to compete for the position of the next chief assistant, so the choice of the northern scholars is very critical. Which side they support can basically determine who wins.
And Guan Yingzhen doesn't think that Qiao Yingjia can decide Feng Ziying's attitude, even though Qiao Yingjia is indeed Feng Ziying's benefactor, but now Feng Ziying is not Feng Ziying a few years ago.
Feng Ziying has his own political ambitions and ideas, which can be seen from the examination method and his views on military affairs.
Whoever can support his wishes more may be able to get his support. If there are differences of opinion among the scholars in the North, Qiao Yingjia may not be able to suppress Feng Ziying in the future.
Because of this, Guan Yingzhen was very happy and welcomed Feng Ziying's visit, especially when Feng Ziying took the initiative to report on military affairs, which made him feel more at ease.
"Ziying, you can discuss with Zhisheng about military affairs. Some of your views in the last court meeting may still be difficult for many people to accept. They think your views are too radical, and they will think that the population is of course Growth, but floods, droughts and locust plagues hit almost every year, either in the south or in the north, so the population cannot grow so fast, and I think the age increase you mentioned is even more unrealistic. It is rare for ordinary people to live to be 50 years old,... ..."
Guan Yingzhen is also choosing a suitable topic to further strengthen the relationship with his disciple, "But it is indeed as you said, everyone still approves of the several new crops introduced from Xiyi, and it is necessary to establish a new Ministry of Agriculture , Breeding new crops with higher yields is a long-term plan, and we must persevere. In this regard, Zi Xian (Xu Guangqi) is indeed very accomplished,..."
"Zi Xiangong is indeed rich in experience in these areas, but it involves the extension and promotion of farming in the entire Dazhou territory. It is necessary to have a person with rich experience in the local area to do some specific work. As far as I know, Shaanxi has done very well in the past few years, and the promotion of potatoes is particularly prominent. In Yan'an Prefecture in northern Shaanxi, it was originally a barren land, and there were refugees and bandits almost every year, but the situation has changed a lot in the past few years. Geng Ruqi has done this Lots of facts,..."
Guan Yingzhen understood that Feng Ziying had come to recommend Geng Ruqi. He also knew that both Geng Ruqi and Feng Ziying were from Dongchang Mansion in Shandong Province.
"But Geng Ruqi is only at the fourth rank. If he wants to enter the center, even if it is newly established by the Ministry of Agriculture, I'm afraid... How is Ziqiang (Cui Jingrong)'s attitude?" Guan Yingzhen asked in a deep voice.
"I talked with Mr. Ziqiang, and he thinks it's okay. After all, there are not many people who are familiar with the Ministry of Agriculture, and brother Chucai has performed well in Chongqing and Yan'an, so he should be reused..." Feng Ziying immediately responded when he heard something interesting. .
