Liu Jincheng never expected that his brother-in-law would be so cheerful and reward him with a serious official job.
Moreover, this is a high-quality county-level official.
Tsk tsk tsk, sometimes, happiness comes a little too suddenly, almost catching me off guard.
So comfortable!
After the excitement subsided, Liu Jincheng calmed down and used his brain to think about practical problems.
In other words, the problems faced in reality.
My brother-in-law just made it clear that Luzon is almost ten times larger than Qiongzhou in area. If roughly converted according to this ratio, the area is wider than the capital of Guangdong Province. He can manage such a large stall. ?
This is my first time as an official. I have no practical experience before. Will I be unable to do what I want?
Liu Jincheng finally had some self-awareness. After thinking about the practical problems, he worried: "Brother-in-law, Luzon is a vast land with a large population. I will not be able to take care of the overall situation and will be unable to support myself..."
What does this mean?
The metaphor is that I don’t have enough experience and I am afraid that I won’t be able to get it right.
Think about it, if a new driver doesn't even have a driver's license yet and you let him drive on a high speed, it's really easy for him to get into an accident. If he doesn't get it right, his car will overturn.
Qi Yu looked prepared for a rainy day and said with a smile: "Brother, please relax, I will provide you with a few capable helpers, so that you can rule with peace of mind and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai no matter the wind and waves."
Ah, will you provide me with helpers?
That's great!
Liu Jincheng couldn't hide his excitement and asked hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, I wonder who these helpers are?"
Qi Yu didn't hide this, and told him directly: "I want Xie Jiong, the magistrate of Qiongzhong County, to go to Luzon to assist you."
"he?"
"Yes, this person is not only kind-hearted, but also has very good governance skills. He is a capable person who can deal with difficult situations and deserves to be trusted with big things." After thinking about it, Qi Yu added: "In addition, at the beginning I also want to take advantage of this opportunity to activate some of the officials who were taken down by me because of streamlining the official system. They have quite a lot of experience in governance and are fully capable of being your right-hand man."
My brother-in-law is so kind and thinks so thoughtfully.
With such a group of horses supporting him, wouldn't he not have to do anything?
You can enjoy peace and happiness.
The more Liu Jincheng thought about it, the happier he became. At the end, he could hardly help laughing.
together
Yu glanced at him seemingly encouragingly and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, if you are truly motivated, then make some decent political achievements. Otherwise, for what reason will I give you a promotion in the future? Although I mean to be partial, but I have to keep those Youyou’s mouths shut for the sake of face.”
What? Promotion?
So, can I continue to advance?
Liu Jincheng's wolf-like eyes flickered, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother-in-law, please tell me what kind of political achievements I need to make to reach the standard of 'going further'?"
Haha, he is still somewhat motivated, better than those who just eat and wait to die.
There is a cure.
Qi Yu smiled happily and replied succinctly: "My positioning on Luzon is relatively clear. I mainly want to develop agriculture and mining there. There will be no commercial elements in this jurisdiction, only the most basic material circulation, and no other activities." To put it bluntly, in the short term, all the production income from Luzon must be transported to Qiongzhou and must not be lost to the outside world. After you go there, the government affairs will mainly focus on admonishing farmers and mulberry farmers. Focusing on developing mineral deposits, remember to do everything personally and play the role of an exemplary leader. Only in this way can you achieve decent political achievements."
These words sounded very sincere.
But why do you feel something is wrong?
Qi Dalang saw the confusion on his face and hurriedly explained: "As we all know, officials' political achievements mainly have three major parts, namely: culture and education, taxation and public security. Look at Luzon again, it is a land of barbarians. The people there are ignorant of etiquette and do not know Chinese characters. For such a group of people, you cannot make cultural or educational achievements in the imperial examination. Also, the future of that place is not to expand commerce, so don’t think about taxation. . In this way, only public security is left. However, I have already set up a group of heavy troops there, which is enough to ensure its long-term harmony and stability, so you don’t need to worry about the public security there. "
"Well……"
"After such exclusions, the only sources of your political achievements are farming and mining. If you can't even do these two things, then...should you give it up and let the talents go?" 'Woolen cloth?"
Give way to the wise?
How is that possible!
Hearing this, Liu Jincheng hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Brother-in-law, please rest assured. When I go to Luzon, I will definitely work hard and work hard to develop the agriculture and mining there."
"Okay! What you say is unfounded!"
"Well, I'm willing to write a book as proof!"
"Bring me a pen..."
At once
In this way, Liu Jincheng, in a state of being pumped full of chicken blood, brazenly issued a "military order" of "do it or die". It clearly marked the price, how much grain should be delivered every year, how much mineral deposits should be transported back, and so on.
Little does he know that that number is actually as high as the sky. He will slowly figure it out after he truly takes charge.
After Liu Jincheng left, Liu Quan immediately emerged from the side room where he was eavesdropping.
"Ms. sir, you set such a high goal for your brother, how can he possibly achieve it?"
"Can't do it? Haha, I will really replace him!"
It's one thing to hate that iron cannot become steel, but if you really go to deal with it ruthlessly, you feel a little reluctant to let it go.
Liu Quan frowned slightly when he heard this, with a worried look on his face.
Qi Yu also sighed quietly and said in persuasion: "Jincheng has been pampered since he was a child and has never experienced any major hardships in life. That's why he has developed the speculative mindset of getting something for nothing. I said before that he has evil intentions and that's why. However, after he has experienced the training of Luzon, he will surely mature slowly."
Like This!
My husband is really well-intentioned.
Liu Quan has always followed her husband's advice when it comes to major matters, and this time is no exception.
So, it was settled like this.
Let’s talk about other things.
Qi Yu planned to take advantage of his free time in these two days to quickly go to the provincial government office to 'communicate' with Governor Lu Boxuan to see how to solve the problems in Dawan in the future.
However, before leaving, Liu Quan suggested that her husband take a look at the imperial treasures that were recaptured from Dawan.
That's the mirror.
She thought it was a bit strange that His Majesty had given such a toiletry item for women out of nowhere. Could it be that there was some special purpose?
You know, this imperial gift was missing the most critical item in the twists and turns of coming to Qiong.
What?
Announcement!
According to the etiquette, to welcome the treasure given by the emperor, you not only have to burn incense and put it on the table, but also kneel down and listen to the reading carefully. After the 'handover' ceremony is completed, the minister can express his gratitude and accept it, but this time something unexpected happened.
After the treasure was robbed, the young eunuch who announced the edict returned directly to the capital to plead guilty. In other words, no one knew what was written or said in the edict.
This is an oversight!
Thinking of this factor, Qi Yu hurriedly said: "I will go back to the government office and take a serious look at the imperial mirror."
