Kaesong, Koryo Province.
Kaesong, the original Kyoto of North Korea, was renamed Kaesong after the country was converted into a province. Kaesong is now the provincial capital of Koryo Province.
The three major yamen of the Chief Envoy, the Inspector General, and the Naturalization Envoy were all established in Kaicheng. Except for the yamen of the Chief Envoy, which guarded the junction of Jianju, Liaodong, and Koryo provinces, all the Ming officials in Koryo Province were concentrated in Kaicheng.
There is also a gap between the four envoys. The imperial envoys are at the bottom in terms of rank and power, while the naturalized envoys established by King Qi in the new province system are slightly better.
The most powerful ones are the chief envoy and the capital commander, one is in charge of government affairs and the other is in charge of military power.
In terms of rank, the chief envoy is from the second rank, and the chief envoy is from the second rank, which is half a rank higher than the chief envoy. The same is true in other provinces, and the chief envoy is not as good as the chief envoy. It was under the control of the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and was not in the same system as the Chief Envoy. In addition, his rank was half a rank higher, making him feel like he stood out from the crowd.
But in Goryeo Province, the commander-in-chief was a head above the chief envoy.
At the beginning of the establishment of the province, power must be centralized, and Lao Zhu's decentralization policy must be used according to the situation. The Ming Dynasty has not yet established a firm foothold in Koryo Province, and a harmonious and unified voice must be used to calm the situation.
This person's name is Su Wu.
At this time, Su Wu was sitting at the desk of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen, checking the letters sent back from the capital.
This letter was sent to King Qi and was included in the documents of Koryo Province. The title is: "About the development and construction policies of Koryo Province and the rich connotation and practical requirements of the new journey. In the overall pattern, big goals, and Find accurate positioning and plan development in the grand strategy. 》
The original reply from Zhu Gaojie to him was: Read. Fuck your mother, you idiot Su Wu. If you can speak human language, just speak it. If you can't speak human language, just go back. I asked you to stay in Goryeo and serve as chief envoy to do practical things, not to write these rhetoric for me. It's a piece of crappy writing that's gorgeous but actually has no merit. If you write like this next time, I will fly over and kick your head.
Although Su Wu was scolded by King Qi in the document, he was not angry. Instead, he said in a nostalgic tone: "Sure enough, Prince Qi is still Prince Qi. His words are so simple and clear."
So Su Wu once again wrote hard and wrote to the original King Qi of Jinling City.
"I, Su Wu, the chief envoy of Koryo Province, start to report to Wenhua Hall. Since this year, all the restless forces in Koryo Province have been eliminated. This year's tax revenue should be three to four times that of last year, and it will live up to the expectations of the prince. The Ming Dynasty's Chinese language schools have blossomed all over Koryo Province, and the new generation of Koreans have gradually abandoned Korean and become proficient in Chinese culture. This year's population migration has caused a large number of Han people to flow into Koryo Province and intermarry with Koreans..."
Compared to the previous letter, this letter is written more concisely and concisely.
Just as Su Wu was writing a letter to King Qi, the man working below was sweating profusely and brought a large stack of papers over.
"Sir, this is the budget report for the construction of Gyeonggi Province for the second half of the year that has just been sent. Please take a look and stamp it. These have to be sent to the Ministry of Industry for the second review of appropriation. It is very urgent."
To be honest, the people working here can't quite understand the Chief Envoy sitting in front of them.
Can a child over ten years old be a second-grade chief minister?
What nonsense!
The government affairs of a province are shouldered by this child. Can he handle it?
Isn't it just to find a good backer and follow Prince Qi's house as a dog? Hey, I can do it too.
Su Wu casually glanced at the documents that were sent to him. The documents were accumulated like a mountain. It would be impossible to read them word by word for three days and three nights. There are very few people who chew up all these things and swallow them in their stomachs. Most of them only report it after they have a half-understanding and make sure there are no big mistakes.
Su Wu's seemingly casual handling made the people working below even more sure that the chief envoy was here to make a joke.
What can you tell with just these two eyes?
Su Wu stopped reading and said calmly: "Reject, take it away and ask the person who made the budget to make a new copy and send it to me."
The person who sent the documents was dumbfounded: "Are you kidding me?"
Su Wu was a little confused: "How can you see it?"
The man thought Su Wu didn't understand the rules, so he explained seriously: "Sir, these documents must be processed urgently. They must be sent to the Ministry of Industry in Jinling City for processing in the shortest possible time. There must be no delay. If To do a redo, not only do we have to re-calculate all the finances of all sizes, but we also have to go to the lower level for review again. The time spent going back and forth is too long, and there is no time to redo it."
"If you don't have time, you should be more serious when writing."
Su Wu said calmly, "Take it back and redo it!"
The man was a little anxious: "Sir, you have to give us a reason if you want us to redo it. If we delay something important, the capital will hold us accountable. As the chief envoy, you can at most just hold us accountable verbally, but we want to lose our heads." All! You don’t give a single reason and you just let our heads do the work. Is this reasonable?”
"reason?"
Su Wu sneered, took out a copy of the document, and threw it on the ground, "Okay, I'll give you a reason, pick it up and see for yourself!"
The man picked up the document from the ground and looked confused after reading it: "This is the budget application for two new Chinese language schools in Gyeonggi Prefecture. Are there any questions?"
The Chinese Academy of Literature in Goryeo Province was the core force in converting barbarians into Han Dynasties. After the imperial court made a large sum of money in Yeongju Province, it transformed from a miser to a nouveau riche. After seeing the benefits brought by converting barbarians into Han Dynasties, it became even more fanatical. In pursuing the policy of converting barbarians into Chinese, they were also merciless in appropriating funds for Chinese language colleges.
"Problem? I didn't want to reveal your face, to save some face for you, for me, for the Chief Minister, and for the Koryo Province. It would be better for you to be so aggressive here with rampant arrogance. You really think that I, the Chief Minister, are Are you blind?"
Su Wu said sternly, "You all know very well how much money it will cost to build two Chinese language colleges. It will only be one or two thousand taels to the end. See for yourself, how much is it reported? Twenty-seven thousand taels! You guys are really Dare you dare to speak loudly, where did the remaining 25,000 taels of budget go? How do you want me to report this budget table to the Ministry of Works? Use my name to withstand the pressure of the Ministry of Works. You also have to do this. Can you do it? With this pile of budgets, you can squeeze in a small amount of two hundred thousand taels of silver at least. You are so courageous. You are lying on the back of the court and drinking blood. If I approve this, How can I have the face to explain to Prince Qi if I don’t have a budget!”
Su Wu's series of words made the man's hair stand on end.
He never thought that the yellow-haired boy in front of him, who was only more than ten years old, could see through their officialdom tactics at a glance, and with just a few glances, he could point out all the tricks behind the piles of documents. Even the numbers are spot on.
This gave him the feeling that Su Wu could see through the color of his underwear. It was unbelievable, what kind of monster was this young boy in front of him!
I thought he was an airborne elder who was related to Prince Qi's palace, but he turned out to be a scheming little monster. This time, the people from the Chief Envoy of Koryo Province were really impressed.
Also, as for King Qi's murderer, how could the chief envoy he personally selected be a simple person?
Zhu Gaojie asked Su Wu to sit in the Koryo Province because he wanted to coat Su Wu with gold and then directly promote him to the Jinluan Palace as an important minister. He left Su Wu with the Goryeo Province, which had nothing, and gave him policies and directions. What Su Wu had to do was to take this Goryeo Province with nothing, and turn it into a prosperous and powerful province of the Ming Dynasty!
It seems that King Qi took advantage of Su Wu, but in fact it was Su Wu who took advantage of King Qi.
Looking at ancient and modern times, how many lords can have the courage to lift a teenage boy to the position of leader of a province?
King Qi has such courage!
This is why there are so many talented people who sell their lives to King Qi.
Only by following King Qi can they stand on a broader platform and fully display their talents and ambitions.
The heroes of ancient and modern times must be followed by capable ministers.
"Now, take the paperwork you brought and get out!"
Su Wu pointed at the door frame and shouted sternly, "Koryeo Province has just been established not long ago, and you are using this to blind yourself. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the legislative officials embezzled sixty taels and were executed. Do you have these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?" A few heads are enough to chop off!"
"If I discover something like this again next time, I will definitely hold you accountable to the end. I will pull you out one by one, skin and remove the grass, and stand in front of the main entrance of the Chief Envoy's Yamen as a warning!"
The documents on the desk were swept to the floor. The official who was handling the matter was so frightened by Su Wu's awe-inspiring aura that his legs trembled. He quickly picked up the documents on the ground and apologized while walking out: "I understand, I understand. I will go back now." Pass Master Su’s words back and don’t dare to play any tricks again.”
Su Wu really frightened him. If the young chief envoy revealed the troubles in the documents to the court, it would be difficult for them to die. You know, Prince Qi's subordinate is Lu Chaoyang, who is in charge of Zhao Prison in Fusi, Beizhen. Once you enter Zhao Prison, death is a luxury.
Although Su Wu scolded them harshly, he still gave them a chance to make up for their mistakes. As long as they took the time to change the documents and atone for their sins, Su Wu wouldn't care too much.
Speaking of which, they had to thank Su Wu and the young chief envoy for being merciful and giving these colleagues in Koryo Province a chance to make up for their mistakes, so that they could save their lives.
With both kindness and power, Su Wu finally defeated all the chief envoys.
The person in front of him is just a little person. What Su Wu really has to do is convey his attitude to the big people behind the little person, so as to express his position.
A simple translation of what he wanted to express is: "Listen to me, you idiots. Don't think I'm a bully just because I'm young. We know what you're thinking, and these methods are in our Qi's hands." It won't work in front of the palace. Now that I have caught your tail, as long as you do your job well, I won't care. If you don't obey, I'm sorry, I will fucking kill all of you idiots in Koryo Province. Who dares to do this? If you run wild on Prince Qi’s territory, I will kill anyone!”
