The results of the Battle of Qamdo were conveyed to Jinan like flying.
Zuo Mengeng made a prompt decision and summoned relevant personnel with Chen Zhi.
"Uncle Ying, now that there is a shortage of officials, I can only think of you. It's just that the plateau is difficult, and you're not young anymore. If you really don't want to go, you can say so."
Zuo Menggeng entertained Lin Qingye and his family in the palace.
Lin Qingye, who is now in his fifties, is definitely considered to be in the prime of life in official circles. But Zuo Mengeng was a little confused about going to the plateau.
But there was no way. The empire's territory was expanding so fast that the training of officials could not keep up.
This is still the result of a large number of military officers retiring from service, otherwise the gap would be even greater.
Moreover, the plateau is special and the situation is complex, requiring drastic reforms. It is also far away from the center, so it is necessary to have officials who can control the situation.
After much thought, Lin Qingye was the most suitable.
First of all, he has been an official for many years, and has shown great talents both in North Korea and in the current empire.
Secondly, he has experienced too many ups and downs and has long developed a tough and courageous character, and can handle any situation appropriately.
Furthermore, Lin Qingye has been lingering at the grassroots level for many years. He has accumulated enough political achievements and merits for a long time, and it is time for promotion.
Being promoted to provincial government and taking charge of a party is the best compliment for him.
Lin Qingye had already received ventilation before coming, and his mood did not fluctuate at all.
As far as the eye can see, the little granddaughter who has just been born is playing happily with the children in the palace, and she is really not satisfied at all.
"Your Majesty and the Prime Minister trust each other. This is an honor for me. Although the plateau is bitter, as the territory of the empire, someone must guard it. Others can go there, so why can't I go there?"
Seeing that he readily agreed, Zuo Mengeng and Chen Zhi were very happy.
"I have always heard that Uncle Ying is brave enough to do things and is unwilling to be inferior to others. When I saw him today, he is indeed well-deserved. Well, I will leave the plateau to you. We are waiting for good news."
Chen Zhi praised him, while Zuo Mengeng gave him benefits.
"You are going to the plateau. You are not familiar with the place, so it is not easy to start your work. In addition to the close cooperation of the National Defense Forces, I have also prepared two capable generals for you."
He introduced Duan Zhonglian and Ayuna to Lin Qingye.
"This is Duan Zhonglian, the former director of the Western Sichuan Administrative Office, and his wife Ayuna. Now the Western Sichuan Administrative Office has been abolished and merged into the Plateau Province. Duan Zhonglian will serve as the deputy provincial governor, and Ayuna is the president of the Plateau Province Women's Association. They are rooted in the local area all year round and are very familiar with the situation. If you don’t understand something, you can ask them for advice.”
Lin Qingye and the three of them got together and had a real chat.
After all, they will soon be working together as a team, and there are many things they need to cooperate with.
It is easy to conquer the plateau through military means, but the subsequent management is complicated.
Especially under the influence of religion, the plateau has always been in a state of ignorance, primitiveness and backwardness.
How to change this social structure and make it revitalized will be the first step for the plateau provinces to integrate into the empire.
Among the arrangements made by relevant officials, Ayuna was definitely a masterstroke.
This former Qiang girl has now learned a lot of advanced knowledge and theories from Duan Zhonglian, and has traveled throughout the empire to gain more knowledge.
After returning to western Sichuan, he set an example and helped many Qiang women achieve identity liberation.
Letting her go to the plateau will definitely help women on the plateau open their eyes.
Today's meeting was not only for official business, but also to see off Lin Qingye, Duan Zhonglian, and Ayuna, so Zuo Mengeng arranged a barbecue.
The chef was specially invited from Zibo, and his craftsmanship is absolutely trustworthy.
Barbecue is a fatal attraction for children.
The adults ate skewers, drank wine, and talked and laughed. The children ate what they had in their hands and looked at what was on the shelf, drooling all the time.
Seeing Lin Qingye's little granddaughter devouring her food and looking extremely cute, Zuo Mengeng reached out and hugged her.
"If you can eat it this way, you will definitely be healthy in the future."
Lin Qingye had an extraordinary status in North Korea, and the wife he married was not only of high status, but also a real beauty.
His son and daughter-in-law are also outstanding. Thanks to their excellent genes, although this little granddaughter has only slightly grown eyebrows, it can be seen that she is a beautiful child.
Lin Qingye was very happy to see that Zuo Menggeng liked his children.
"This child only has a nickname, not a big name yet. Please give me a name, Your Majesty."
Letting the emperor give names has become a quietly popular trend in the imperial officialdom.
Being named by the emperor is an honor in itself. It can also bring the relationship closer to the emperor and satisfy the emperor's hobbies.
Throughout the ages, emperors have had all kinds of strange hobbies, and many of them have brought disaster to the country and the people.
Zuo Mengeng's hobby of naming people is really nothing.
Zuo Mengeng was also happy. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"As for your name, let's call her Yoona."
"Yooner? Lin Yoona?"
Everyone was surprised. They had no idea that Zuo Mengeng's name was so wonderful.
Even though each of the three words is ordinary, when combined together, the name has a fresh and sunny air out of thin air, which is very fairy-like.
Everyone cheered loudly, but little did they know that this name was actually the work of later generations of Chinese fans.
If it were called Lin Run'e...
Lin Qingye and the others were given jobs, and Zuo Mengeng had to escort them.
"The biggest task on the plateau at present is to liberate the minds of the people, so that they can get rid of their status as slaves and realize the beauty of a new life. How to liberate serfs and how to eliminate exploitation will be done by the government and the army. But how to spread new ideas more widely , it’s up to you, the general, to take action.”
Zuo Mengeng pushed a music score in front of Li Zhenli.
Li Zhenli, who is already in her forties, has not aged at all. On the contrary, she has become more graceful. With her high and powerful position now, she looks like a queen.
She took the sheet music and read it again and again, knowing that it was a great song.
"I will go to the plateau myself."
Zuo Mengeng was startled. Before he could dissuade him, the people next to him stopped.
"What are you doing? The plateau is so difficult, do you want to die?"
Faced with Zhang Haogu's obstruction, Li Zhenli's face turned cold.
"What do you care about? Whether I live or die, what does it have to do with you? Aren't you very happy in Dongyang Province? Don't bother me."
Zhang Haogu's face turned red and he quickly defended himself.
"I was... I was following the arrangements of the second person on the left. It was not my intention. We have been together for so many years. Don't you still know what kind of person I am?"
Seeing Li Zhenli's firm attitude, Zhang Haogu became anxious.
"Second from the left, you have to prove to me whether I followed your arrangements?"
Zuo Mengeng's eyes were rolling around, and he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.
"But I didn't let you wear a bellyband either!"
"Second from the left, you are not a son of a man!!!"
