"Zhuge Miao? I really think he should just be the guardian of his Gusu city. He has only been in office for a long time and has done so much for the people of Gusu and the empire. Could it be that he is just looking at me to see how extraordinary he is? I really think he is. I didn’t mean that, but some people who were blowing trumpets and carrying sedan chairs were shouting hurriedly. I have arranged for people from the Overwatch Council to check for me to see who is fanning the flames inside. The official appointment of the empire has become some people. It’s the weather vane!”
Although the words were not seen in the wind and rain, every sentence was struck on the joints, making both Xiao Tang and Su Qin realize that the emperor in front of them was no longer the military and political governor of the past. The envoy is not His Highness the King of Qin. The power of heaven is unpredictable. As the king of a country, his perspective on problems is definitely not the same as the two of them.
"Xiao Tang, Su Qin, I trust you, but you must not be careless. Now the empire's territory is getting larger and larger. From the original six prefectures in the northwest to the current twenty-seven counties and more than a hundred prefectures, I am also very It’s a headache. There are more than 100 cities guarding more than 20 governors. It is difficult for me to inspect and identify each one. You have to worry about many things. The more the empire reaches this point, the more likely it is that problems will arise. , especially the empire has been expanding too fast in the past two years. I also know that there are problems, but there are many opportunities that the empire cannot miss, so I am gritting my teeth and going ahead, but now I can tell you two Now the empire needs to rest and digest." When he said this, Wu Feng was indeed a little tired. For a person under thirty years old, Wu Feng himself felt that he was as old as sixty years old. It was too uncomfortable to be the emperor. Easy.
"Okay, I've said enough, let's talk about serious and light matters." Wufeng, perhaps feeling that he had said enough today, finally took back his words, "Let's discuss a few candidates for the governor. Let's talk about it first. Who should take over as Governor of Tiannan? The reconstruction work there cannot be delayed. We must come up with a candidate immediately and announce that Zhong Wenjing will come in. You two should talk about it first."
"Well, Your Majesty, let's wait until Mr. Zhong comes to propose candidates. Mr. Zhong is already waiting outside the palace." Today was originally about discussing the candidates. According to the routine, two envoys of the Privy Council should be invited to discuss the matter, but Bo Jinchen, the right envoy of the Privy Council, has already gone to the northwest, Jierok and East Tengger to inspect military affairs, while Ling Tianfang, the left envoy of the Privy Council, went to Western India with the naval commander Lei Canpu. De'an, South Indian De'an and Meili inspected the construction plan of the Western Navy. In the Privy Council, only the Chief of Staff was left to act as Privy Council envoy. He could not intervene in such personnel issues, so Wu Feng was exempted.
"Don't worry, candidates for the governorships of Tiannan, Zhongnan, Myanmar County, Solian, West India De'an, North India De'an, and South India De'an were discussed together today. There is still Zhongzhou left behind, and Yan Qing takes over as the Minister of the Interior I will no longer serve concurrently as Zhongzhou’s left-behind officer. Except for the candidate for the southwest governor, who will be temporarily let go, everything else will be decided today. It should be decided early so that everyone can appoint his staff as early as possible to prepare for taking office. Everything must be in place before the Spring Festival." Wu. Feng groaned.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Tang and Su Qin were both surprised. Originally they only said that they wanted to discuss the candidate for the governor of Tiannan. They didn't expect that your majesty suddenly changed his mind and wanted to discuss so many candidates for the governor, and even the post of Zhongzhou had to be confirmed. The two of them felt their scalps go numb all of a sudden. In order to choose this governor, the two of them dared not even step into their homes and hid in their outer houses all day long, not daring to show their faces. Apart from close confidants who could find the two of them, even the wife and children at home did not know where the two were hiding.
"What? Isn't this a way to liberate you earlier? Don't you feel sad hiding in the outer house all day? Look at you, you still look like the prime minister of the Imperial Administration Council? Are you so scared?" Wu Feng asked with a half-smile but not a smile. .
"Your Majesty, I am also a human being. As human beings, we are bound to be worldly. It is not nice to see someone like this, and it is not nice to see them. Isn't it difficult to hurt someone? It is better to hide outside and keep quiet." Su Ruijieqin smiled bitterly. The answer is that he is from the south of the Yangtze River. The old friends who have been in his house for a period of time are like scales crossing the river. He, the deputy prime minister, is also the one with the authority to advise on large-scale personnel changes in the empire. The governor dare not say anything. However, there are also a large number of vacancies in the city guard positions, which makes many people eager to try. They cannot ring the wooden bell of His Majesty the Emperor. It is not an easy task to find Su Qin, who is already famous all over Jiangdong. He has acquaintances and friends all over Jiangdong.
"Well, that's right. Let's seize the time to discuss it today so that your wives, children, and children won't have to worry at home." While saying this, Zhong Wenjing also walked in with a large volume of personnel files and said, "Your Majesty is right. , not to mention Prime Minister Xiao and Prime Minister Su, even I have been staying outside for several nights. With so many positions uncertain, I dare not go home. "
"Wen Jing, you don't have to pretend in front of me. Didn't you get a new outer room? Your wife has not arrived in Beijing in Xikang, so living in an outer house is not what she wants? Are you still pretending in front of the two of them? "Like this." Wu Feng also had a rare joke with Zhong Wenjing, "Okay, let's stop talking and let's discuss the candidates for the governor of Tiannan. Wenjing, can you tell us who the suitable candidates are and what their advantages and disadvantages are? "
"Well, after Mr. Qin Tieliu resigned, due to the heavy reconstruction work in Tiannan, there was an urgent need for a new governor to take office immediately, so I have been preparing materials in this regard. There are currently three candidates for the governor of Tiannan, um, Zhou Tinggui and Tang Qiren , and Ma Yuan. His Majesty, Mr. Zhou Tinggui, and Prime Minister Xiao and Su are all aware of the situation, so I won’t introduce it in detail. Tang was originally the director of the Economic Development Department of Jinzhou Prefecture, Northwest County, and was later promoted to the post of Guanxi County Hu The outstanding performance of the city guard of Jiangfu during his tenure was to connect the waterway traffic from Baling via the Hujiang River to Bashan, which was beneficial to promote the flow of commerce between the three places. This person was good at coordinating surrounding relations and had a pragmatic style. The inspection by the Supervisory Yuan also responded well. OK. Ma Yuan, the former Dean of Education at Northwest University and currently the Vice President of Northwest University, has a similar style to Mr. Qin Tieliu. He is low-key, simple in style, diligent and honest."
Zhong Wenjing introduced the information while flipping through the information in his hand. In fact, he had already reported these information to Xiao Tang and Su Qin. The candidate for Governor of Tiannan was also discussed by the three of them before being reported to the Emperor for his decision.
"Who do you prefer? Reason." Wu Feng spoke concisely.
"Well, we prefer Tang. This person has rich political experience and is qualified for the current complicated reconstruction work in Tiannan. Therefore, we prefer him. Although Mr. Zhou Tinggui was originally the most suitable candidate, His Majesty has determined that he will not be transferred for the time being. So we recommend Tang Qiren." Xiao Tang is also simple and quick.
"Okay, then it's decided that Tang Qiren will take over as the governor of Tiannan. Let's move on to the next candidate for the governor of Central and South China." Wu Feng made the final decision.
"Your Majesty, it is not easy to choose the candidate for the governor of Zhongnan County. There has been a vacancy here since Mr. Jinning was transferred. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has also conducted many inspections, but has not found a suitable candidate. The economic development here is currently seriously lagging behind, so at this point The minister believes that it is necessary to select a courageous and enterprising officer, otherwise it will be difficult to change the situation in this region." Zhong Wenjing's words contained some disguised criticism of Jin Ning. In Zhong Wenjing's view, Jin Ning was not suitable to be a local leader. The lack of courage and capable style of the Party members has caused the economic development of this multi-ethnic region to be slow.
"Well, it makes sense. Let's talk about the candidates." Wu Feng asked directly about the core issue. Wu Feng was also aware of Jinning's situation, but he didn't want to discuss this issue here.
"One is Wu Yaoqing, the governor of Quanzhou City, and the other is Zou Zhiguang, the governor of Songjiang City. These two people have similar experiences. They have served in the northwest region. They are very courageous and have a strong style. They also have their own methods for developing the economy, so Chen and Xiao Prime Minister Su and Prime Minister Su thought both of them were suitable candidates and asked His Majesty to make a decision." Zhong Wenjing introduced.
"Oh? Do you all have this opinion?" Wu Feng's eyes fell on the faces of Xiao Tang and Su Qin.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I, Prime Minister Xiao and Lord Zhong all think that these two people may be able to better display their characteristics in the central hinterland of the empire, especially in the more backward areas." Su Qin nodded in agreement.
"In this case, Wu Yaoqing will be appointed as the governor of Zhongnan, and Zou Zhiguang will be appointed as the governor of Burma County." Wu Yaoqing and Zou Zhiguang are both very familiar to Wu Feng. As early as when Wu Feng was appointed as the guardian of Qingyang City, the two were already working in the Economic Development Administration under Wu Feng. Working with the Construction Department, he also stepped from an ordinary official to a city guard position step by step. He was quite satisfied with their character and loyalty.
"Your Majesty, after Bai Yuanzhong was transferred to the governor of Nanhai, there was a vacancy in the Yuhang City Guards. Now once Wu and Zou are transferred, the seven Jiangnan Prefectures will have vacancies for the city guards of three important counties. I am afraid that this issue needs to be paid attention to. Please also choose the governor here. Once confirmed, Your Majesty will consider the next appointment of city guards as soon as possible." Xiao Tang frowned, and suddenly removed two city guards from Jiangnan. This Jiangnan personnel issue is facing another major adjustment, although Wang Zongxi is there to support it. However, this situation cannot last long, otherwise it will definitely affect the development of Jiangnan, a major tax base of the empire.
"Well, let's decide on the candidate for the governor first. We will decide on the candidate for the Indian region in a while, and first decide on the candidate for the Zhongzhou left-behind." Wu Feng waved his hand impatiently. The Zhongzhou left-behind is a sensitive position, and its importance and The specialness is even more eye-catching than that of Governor Meili. If he hadn't revealed that he would relinquish Yan Qing's concurrent position as a stay-at-home position in Zhongzhou, I'm afraid how many people would have stayed up at night thinking about this position. I also deliberately want to take advantage of this illusion, cut through the mess quickly, and confirm it as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary troubles and entanglements. Many things have nothing before them, and they are often dragged out.
