"Cleverness leads to cleverness. Do you really think that Diao Su's security department is a vegetarian? He glanced at his old friend and saw that he had realized something. His old friend was a smart man, so he stopped criticizing him," King Qin His Highness is most taboo about these things, even if it is Miss Angel, he will not allow it. If it were not for this reason, Bai Yuanzhong would actually be very likely to serve as the governor of Heshuo or Beiyuan, but it is precisely for this reason, hum, but His Highness still After giving him a chance, Yuhang City Guards has been promoted by half a rank. His Highness King Qin put him under your command just to let you rub him hard. This guy is talented and ambitious, but he is arrogant and scheming. Just look at it. No matter how you adjust it. "
Seeing his old friend's distressed look, Su Qin stopped saying anything. The way of being an official is difficult to master. Everyone has their own style. Is it good for Bai Yuanzhong to have a relationship with Miss An Qier? It's hard to say whether it's bad or bad. Although His Highness the King of Qin has vetoed his nomination as Governor of Heshuo, he has been appointed as the governor of Yuhang City. The subtleties in this process are not obvious to outsiders.
Nodding silently, Wang Zongxi has realized the mystery of this, and also understood the profound meaning of his old friend's reminder. At present, the dispute between His Highness King Qin and his concubines has entered a critical stage. His Highness King Qin has never made it clear to the outside world who will become his second wife. She is a princess, but many conservative people who hate Angel's foreign origin have expressed their opposition to Angel becoming the first princess. On behalf of His Highness Prince Qin, he once went to the imperial capital to visit Miss Angel, and he has a good impression of Miss Angel. It is inevitable that there will be disagreements in daily speech. By refuting these remarks, Su Qin was reminding himself not to get involved in these factional disputes. Although he was not afraid of slanting shadows, there was no harm in being more cautious.
"You know that Wu Yaohan has been appointed as the guardian of Quanzhou City, right?" Su Qin deliberately changed the topic. He didn't want his old friend to worry too much about this aspect. It might be better to let many things take their own course. But it’s better to be mentally prepared.
"Well, Quanzhou Mansion has been purged by the security department and needs to take a rest. Wu Yaohan is an old subordinate of His Highness King Qin who took office in Qingyang City. He is deeply trusted by His Highness King Qin and has a good way of managing internal affairs. I think His Highness is probably He also valued his expertise in this area, and His Highness also mentioned this to me during the conversation." Wang Zongxi's heart moved again, could there be some inside story involved
"Don't think it's so complicated." Su Qin could see what his old friend was thinking at a glance. "But I want to remind you that because Quanzhou is close to Milan, the relationship between us and the Three Kingdoms Alliance is still an alliance and a partner, but these relationships are not static. The Milanese want to take back the Northern Pearl Islands, but we can say that they can't If you accept it, the Huludao Military Port will only be strengthened. We might as well make some concessions in other aspects to maintain our current relationship with the Milanese. You have to grasp this. Although Quanzhou Prefecture has gone through some rectification, there are still many things hidden in the dark. The pro-Milan forces are still very strong. You have to keep a certain degree of caution. Wu Yaohan may have some tough tactics in some aspects, which may hurt the relationship between us and the Milan people. This requires you to reconcile and make up for it. We will still do it for the time being. You can't be at odds with the Milanese, this will test your balancing skills."
He breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Zongxi was really afraid of being involved in some insider concerns. If the governor of Jiangnan was thinking about this all day long, he might as well stay in Tiannan without moving. His energy is limited, and he prefers to spend it on how to develop. In terms of economic growth and national strength, he did not want to interfere too much with these official disputes. However, it is often difficult to avoid these entanglements and disputes when serving as an official, especially now that he has become the governor of Jiangnan. This is the first person among the current feudal officials in Western Xinjiang. Almost every one of the seven Jiangnan prefectures can be regarded as an ordinary county. Compared with the Tiannan County that he was originally in charge of, compared with the Jiangnan County in the Jiali period, I am afraid that the fiscal and tax revenue of one county may not be worthy of the other prefecture. Even if it is now facing After the tyranny of Situ Tai, any county can be regarded as two or three prefectures in other parts of Western Xinjiang. I am afraid that there are too many stories hidden behind the city guard position of each prefecture in Jiangnan County. This cannot be Don't let yourself feel worried.
As the number of generals and officials under His Royal Highness King Qin increased day by day. This rank is also becoming increasingly complex. In terms of talent, the governors and city guards of various counties and prefectures, as well as the directors of various departments under several major departments, are not ordinary people, but everyone is different. How many flowers are red and having talents does not mean that everyone can live in harmony. Although they are all working for His Highness King Qin, they have different views and methods of handling a matter, so it is inevitable that they will have mutual conflicts. The phenomenon of closeness or alienation, and people all live in society. Various social relationships such as relatives, friends, fellow villagers, teachers, close friends, comrades-in-arms, classmates, and alumni will inevitably bring different emotions. This kind of closeness and alienation Likes and dislikes can also make officials intentionally or unintentionally form groups, overtly or covertly. This has never been avoided in any dynasty, generation, country or state. This has also become the biggest worry of those who are superior, and at the same time it cannot be eliminated.
Just like himself, his relationship with Su Qin is well known to everyone. It is natural for others to associate him with Su Qin. But in fact, they have different opinions on who should be the first princess of His Highness King Qin. Although His Highness the King of Qin strictly prohibited officials from getting involved in his private affairs, the two of them had exchanged views in private. Wang Zongxi himself advocated making An Qier his concubine, while Su Qin tended to choose a Tang Dynasty girl with a simple background. The women of the clan should be made concubines in order to maintain the balance and stability of His Highness King Qin's harem in the future. The two had argued many times on this issue, but neither could convince the other. This is just a disagreement between the two on something, and it does not affect the friendship between the two. Just like the relationship between Fang Chengsong and Bai Yuanzhong, it is also inevitable, but His Highness King Qin does not seem to care, but once When Miss Angel was involved, things suddenly became a little subtle, and His Highness King Qin seemed to see the joints very clearly.
Seeing that his old friend seemed a little distracted, Su Qin frowned slightly. He didn't want his shrewd old friend to worry too much in this regard, but he also didn't want to see the other party make some unworthy mistakes in this regard, so He hopes that the other party can properly handle these relationships after realizing the complexity of the problem.
"Zong Xi, okay, don't think about those annoying things anymore. When you take office in Jiangnan, you will have plenty of time to take care of these affairs. Managing subordinate officials is also a major responsibility of the governor. What's more, His Royal Highness King Qin will do it for you. As a backup, you don’t have to worry too much. His Highness the King of Qin is often forced to do so. Balance is the most basic way for a man to be a superior person." Su Qin smiled and comforted the other party, "Look at other counties, the situation is similar, it is not just you. This is true for a county in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Really? I don't see any difference in the others?" Wang Zongxi responded angrily.
"Hey, there are some things that you don't know very well. Lu Zhonglin is Lu Yunshan's nephew and Lu Xianxian's uncle. This time he was appointed as the city guard of Jinhua Mansion. There is no need to say more about Yan Qing. He is a direct descendant of the Gu family of Bashan. Both of these two people have some abilities. Lu Zhonglin comes from a family of merchants of medicinal materials. He is smart and capable. He has been the director of the Jinzhou Administration Department for many years. He originally wanted to be promoted to Jinzhou City Guard, but His Highness the King of Qin also intended to remove the Lu family from their original place. He was transferred to prevent local forces from becoming stronger, so he was transferred to Jinhua City Guards. Jinhua was the hometown of businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. In this way, some unnecessary troubles were avoided. Yan Qing should be said to be a leader in internal affairs. With a good hand, he managed the public security in Longdong in a calm manner. The remnants of the Taiping who were originally raging disappeared here, so he was appointed as the guardian of Anyuan City, the home of the Taiping Sect. It is said that traces of the remnants of the Taiping were found there again, and the security department suspected You Dao Fang sneaked back into that area again."
Su Qin confided that he knew the situation of these new city guards very well. It was only in front of his old friends that he would let go like this. These situations were not shameful things. The intermediary used them to prove that His Highness King Qin's arrangements had ulterior motives. .
"Oh? Then Lin Dezhi took an advantage and went from Anshun to Yueyang all at once, betraying the Lin family. Now Miss Yue Xin is quite favored in front of His Highness King Qin. I wonder how this guy became so lucky?" I thought? After thinking about it, Wang Zongxi asked smoothly.
"Hmph, don't underestimate this Lin Dezhi. Anshun Mansion could not become the number one granary in Sanjiang County without his hard work. Even Jiangchuan's grain output has been lagged behind by Anshun in recent years. What's more, although Lin Dezhi betrayed The Lin family has a very good relationship with Lin Yuexin. If Lin Yuexin had not been idle in the Lin family, Lin Dezhi might not have joined us in Western Xinjiang." Su Qin warned the other party in a semi-teaching tone: "Zong Xi, don't do it anymore I have asked so many questions. I just want to remind you that the position of the Governor of Jiangnan is too important. His Highness the King of Qin will rely heavily on Jiangnan in the future. Don’t let His Highness the King of Qin down. Especially in terms of finance and taxation, it must be restored quickly. Even after the empire is unified After the war is over, I am afraid that the war will restart soon, and by then, Jiangnan will inevitably have to bear the heavy responsibility of being the main source of military expenditure."
Wang Zongxi, who nodded silently and looked solemn, naturally knew this. The empire had experienced wars for a long time, and most of the areas originally controlled by Western Xinjiang belonged to the economically underdeveloped areas of the empire. As the land of the richest man in the empire, Jiangnan had encountered some twists and turns, but The foundation is still there, and it is natural for him to shoulder his due responsibilities. This is probably the main reason why His Highness King Qin placed himself in the position of Governor. Now that he has taken this position, he must make every effort to serve His Highness. It's important to take it seriously.
