Valley Emperor

Valley Emperor

Among these three people, Xiang Hanyi has served as the director of the Enterprise Department of the Ministry of Commerce, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, and the current governor of Zhejiang Province.

Jia Wenbo has served as the first magistrate of the special county in Shanghai and the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture.

As for Xiao Fangquan, he has served as the head of the business department of the Hanlin Academy, the prefect of Hangzhou, the governor of Zhejiang, and the governor of Fujian.

These three people, on the bright side, have different grades. Among them, Xiao Fangquan was originally a second-rank governor. If he was transferred to Jiangnan Taoist priest, his rank would drop instead of rising.

Of course, in the Tang Empire, there is also a system of adding titles. If you want to transfer high-level officials to low-level positions, you will often use the method of adding titles.

If Xiao Fangquan is really capable, and Li Xuan thinks he can, he can do it. For example, he can be given the title of waiter and then sent to Jiangnan Dao to hold a post. In this way, his second-rank rank will be preserved. , and can actually hold the position of a Taoist priest of Jiangnan Dao of the third grade.

The rank system is widely used in the Tang Empire, and there are no special regulations. In most cases, it is to solve the problem of mismatch between grades and positions. When Li Xuan promoted Cai Siqi before, he used the rank system. title mode.

However, this kind of title addition also has limitations, that is, it can only be given by the emperor, whether it is the Ministry of Personnel or the Imperial Study Room, there is no authority to operate the title.

Except for Xiao Fangquan, who is quite special, if the other two are promoted to Taoist priests in Jiangnan, they don’t need to be so troublesome. One of them is from the third rank and the other is from the third rank. If Jia Wenbo is promoted from the inspector of the third rank to the Taoist priest of Jiangnan, he can directly upgrade one level, while Xiang Hanyi is even simpler. He was originally the official ambassador of the third grade, so he could just calm down.

These three people have a huge difference in age and grades, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are very good at developing economic affairs.

This can be seen from their resumes. Xiang Hanyi and Jia Wenbo are officials who have been in Shanghai for many years. Even after they were transferred from Shanghai and Songjiang, their positions are all in Guangdong, The three coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian.

These three places are all places with relatively good industrial and commercial development. Guangdong is the economic and industrial center after Jiangnan Road. Zhejiang is also a traditional Jiangnan area, relying on tea, raw silk, and the coastal trade port of Ningbo and Close to Shanghai, the economic development is quite good, and its economic aggregate is already ranked third in the country.

Even in Fujian, although there are many people and few land, it is not suitable for the development of agriculture, and the land transportation is not very convenient, and it is not suitable for the development of industry, but it is worth noting that this place has tea and is coastal.

Tea exports from Fujian accounted for more than 40 percent of the imperial tea exports.

With the export of tea, and the port trade with the coastal ports, the economic development can be considered.

The current positions of these three people are all in the above-mentioned areas.

From this, it can be seen that Li Xuan's purpose in selecting them is very simple, that is, he hopes that they will give full play to their talents in economic development and lead Jiangnan Province to continue to develop industry and commerce.

In fact, Li Xuan also considered promoting talents from Jiangnan Road before, but the corruption problem in Jiangnan Road is too serious. Basically, officials above the fourth grade, except Chen Lifu, who has no economic problems, others are more or less. There are economic problems.

The Suzhou prefect has already been beheaded by him, and he plans to replace the Songjiang prefect. The man is not greedy for money, but lacks in ability. When he summoned him last year, he said a lot , Li Xuan was all stunned, but a year later, the economic development of Songjiang Prefecture is still the same, the only bright spot is the North Shore Industrial Zone, but Li Xuan knows that the North Shore Industrial Zone was created by Shanghai's ad hoc county. Yes, or it was made by Chen Lifu, and it has nothing to do with the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture.

In Li Xuan's heart, only Chen Lifu can be used for officials of the fourth rank and above, and the others must be killed or replaced!

But Chen Lifu's grade is too low, but it's the fourth grade!

Even if Li Xuan has the intention to promote him, but if he wants to take up an important position like a Taoist priest in the south of the Yangtze River, he will have to practice for a few more years. Years of accumulation of prestige and experience.

Otherwise, Chen Lifu would not be able to take on such a heavy burden as a provincial feudal minister.

Not to mention, although the rank of Daoists in Jiangnan Province is low, their importance exceeds that of most provincial governors.

Otherwise, this time, Li Xuan would not have brought Xiao Fangquan, the current governor of Fujian from the second rank, because Li Xuan planned to mention the rank of Taoist priests in Jiangnan.

The third rank is still too low, and it is not in line with the important political status of Jiangnan Road. It still has to be improved from the second rank. It is not appropriate to directly upgrade the rank.

Chen Lifu, who was far away in Shanghai, didn't even know that the Son of Heaven was short-lived. Well, he only had a few tenths of a second to consider whether to let him serve as a Taoist priest in the south of the Yangtze River.

If you let him know, I am afraid it will be greatly encouraged!

It's a pity that he didn't know that today's Chen Lifu is also living a life of fear in Shanghai. Although he has a clear conscience, who in the officialdom cares whether you are really guilty or innocent, and political struggles don't care about that.

If unlucky, Chen Lifu might be dragged into the water by this political turmoil!

However, unlike Chen Lifu's trepidation, Xiang Hanyi and the other three were in high spirits!

In this anti-corruption turmoil, the three of them were a little worried at first, but when they received the imperial decree from the Holy Emperor, they were asked to return to Beijing to report their duties on the same day, and the secretary of the Hanlin Academy who came to declare the decree also did not shy away , saying that they are candidates for the new Jiangnan Taoist priest, and this time to return to Beijing to report on work is an interview.

Faced with such an opportunity, none of them dared to take it lightly.

Gangnam Taoist priest!

If you serve a full term in this position, as long as you don't act as stupid as Huo Shouqi and only focus on developing the economy while letting go of other political risks, after this term, you will be properly appointed to the cabinet!

This is even better than serving as governor in other provinces. At least in the mind of the current Fujian governor Xiao Fangquan, the importance of Jiangnan Taoist priest is more than that of the Fujian governor.

According to the normal way, if he does a good job as governor of Fujian, then after the expiration of his term, it is estimated that he will be transferred to other provinces to continue serving as governor. If he is still excellent, then there is hope that he will be transferred back to the central government as a servant, and the probability is only right. waiter.

And when it comes to the right servant, this is basically the focus of his career.

But if you can do well in the position of Daoist of Jiangnan Dao, then there is a high probability that you will be able to enter the cabinet directly, and basically it is possible to start with Zuo Shilang and eventually become a minister.

Faced with such an opportunity, even a second-rank senior official like Xiao Fangquan wanted to seize it.

After the three people received the imperial decree, they all rushed towards Jinling City without stopping. On the way, they all started to study their own policy.

It is not a report on the current job, but the policy policy after serving as a priest in Gangnam-do.

Because since they can be summoned by the Son of Heaven, they must have affirmed their existing work. In the future, the only way to govern Jiangnan Province is how to govern.

As long as he can impress the Son of Heaven, then the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step is at hand.

These three people also knew that they had other competitors. In order to rush back to Jinling City as soon as possible and prevent others from impressing the Son of Heaven in advance, they all rushed forward.

Xiao Fangquan and Jia Wenbo both chose to take the navy's rapid transit ship. They first rushed back to the Wusong naval base by sea, and then transferred to the inland river rapid transit ship of the postal department to return to Jinling City through the Yangtze River.

As for Xiang Hanyi, who worked in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, he was even more straightforward. He directly rode the carriage and drove all the way from the official road to Jinling City.

Because after years of expansion and renovation, and the official road from Hangzhou to Jinling, it is also one of the key official roads built in the southern region of the Yangtze River. After arriving, the others returned to Jinling City first.

When he heard that Jia Wenbo and Xiao Fangquan had not returned to Jinling City~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to make final adjustments to his debriefing report.

He needs to come up with a complete policy outline to impress the Son of Heaven and leave a good impression in the Son of Heaven.

Just when Xiang Hanyi, Jia Wenbo, and Xiao Fangquan were all competing for the position of Daoist in Jiangnan Province, the anti-corruption storm that spread across the country was still blowing.

There are already more than ten inspection teams dispatched by the Inspectorate. They have gone to various provincial highways to urge the local Inspectorate to carry out anti-corruption operations.

In order to ensure that the large-scale anti-corruption campaign will not cause political turmoil, and will not cause the operation of various institutions to be paralyzed, when catching corrupt officials, the Ministry of Personnel also began to inspect and promote a large number of officials!

While catching people, promoting new people at the same time, this is the big stick prepared by Li Xuan, and the big killer with radish!

If people are only arrested, but there is no corresponding promotion, then the anti-corruption storm this time will actually not go on, because it is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of all officials.

But now, some people are unlucky, and some people are promoted. This is directly dividing the officials. How many people are unlucky is because of how many people benefit from it.

Huo Shouqi was out of luck, but Xiao Fangquan and the three of them got a chance to be promoted because of this!

In fact, this is also the cause. In fact, many ambitious officials hope to obtain huge benefits in this anti-corruption storm.

There are many unlucky people, and so many officials who profit from it.
