Chapter 98 Where to go?
He Xi returned home and looked at the map drawn by Princess Anqing on the computer in her study. Many of the place name signs above have been changed to those from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, many things do not need to be changed. Suzhou will still be Suzhou after hundreds of years.
He understood the reasons Zhu Yuanzhang gave.
It's just that he was not mentally prepared.
Even before Wang Anshi's reform, he had been moving around the local area for many years. He has verified many of his own laws. Just returned to the center.
But the truth is this. He Xi understands.
He Xi still didn't want to leave Nanjing.
Dislike psychologically and physically.
Psychologically, it's simple. As the political center of Nanjing, every move here can affect people all over the world. The people he met here were all top-notch people, and if he made a few moves, they would be known all over the world. It's in the political spotlight.
He Xi is still very greedy for this kind of taste.
He Xi can still overcome this mentality. After all, he has been in the limelight for more than a year, so it's time for him to settle down.
But physical dislike is difficult to overcome.
First of all, it is the newlywed wedding with Princess Anqing, which is the time to be intimate with each other. How could he receive it if he suddenly left Beijing? Well, this matter can be solved. Find a way to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to take Princess Anqing to office. This may not be impossible.
Secondly, even more important than the above.
That's why life in ancient times was uncomfortable.
Various.
From cooling to keeping warm, from bathing to sleeping.
He Xi put a lot of effort into the construction of the He Mansion, replicating the modern lifestyle as much as possible. He Xi did not even ask about the price. Because he knew that this was a hole that He Xi could not fill for most of his life with his own salary.
Among other things, bury the several kilograms of copper pipes under the floor. That can be directly converted into money.
He Xi understood very well that such a thing, that is, the princess was getting married, could he use the topic to his advantage. If he did it on the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang's leading guillotine would be set by him.
It can be said that in terms of living conditions alone, in He Xi's opinion. Except for Nanjing, all other places are distributed.
However, as a man, although these are difficult, you can grit your teeth and endure them.
Things are back to the original problem.
Where to go?
He Xi looked around the map several times, as if he could go anywhere. Go to the north, Henan, and Hebei, the places where new immigrants come. Immigrants regulate rivers. Going to the northwest, many places in Shaanxi and Gansu are deserted, but close to Mongolia, you may be able to study animal husbandry. Going to Sichuan, Southwest Toast, is a big problem, or simply Yunnan. If you do what Mu Ying does, you might be able to drive straight across the ocean and cross the ocean.
Well, He Xi withdrew his mindless imagination. Because he actually knows that the real battle is not his turn at all.
Without him, the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty are still there, such as Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi, etc., and a large number of veterans are still there. As for the new generation, Mu Ying and Lan Yu each have their own strengths. The juniors from other families are still fighting on various fronts. But it’s not time to show up yet.
It's never He Xi's turn.
Whenever there is a war, these honorable nobles will form a group among themselves and fight for a chance to lead the army.
He Xi is the onion.
He Xi was willing to go to the battlefield, but Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would lose the battle.
Therefore, it is not impossible to go to the war zone, but it is definitely not possible for him to take the lead.
Even He Xi judged that after he went down, he would not be able to reach the provincial level, and would most likely be the prefect. Or they don't have the title of prefect, but the place they can directly control is not too big.
Why?
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to train He Xi.
During his stay in the capital, He Xi had a general understanding of how the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty operated. I am familiar with the Imperial College, the Imperial Academy, the Secretary's Office, and the Ministry of Industry. All the ministers above also met with each other. How the upper echelons of the imperial court operate, how benefits are distributed, how they fight, and even the political factions and appearance. It’s generally clear.
Although He Xi has no direct conflict with other factions, he has always faced the Qingliu faction.
Now, it is time to hone He Xi’s grasp of the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty.
If it is placed in the province, what is the use? From the province to the local level, and from the central government to the local level, there is actually not much difference.
As for the county, it is too small.
As mentioned earlier, in ancient times, a county was considered a large county if it had 10,000 households. Of course, there are also counties with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, such as Fuguo County, Shangyuan and Jiangning in Nanjing, which are all first-class large counties.
But many counties don’t even have a few thousand people.
In future generations, it will be worse than a single village. Let He Xi take charge of a village. Although he can see some things, his vision is too narrow.
And a mansion is just right. One government manages several counties, connecting the previous ones and the lower ones, and can go deep into the front line. You can also understand the underlying architecture.
But where is this mansion?
He Xi thought about it for a long time and had no clue. Or simply don’t know where to start analyzing this problem. Totally unprepared. After much thought, he invited Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, I feel that you have not considered one thing, so Your Majesty actually has an idea."
He Xi was stunned and thought to himself: "It's not impossible." He said: "Then what does your Majesty mean? Are you asking knowingly?"
Yao Guangxiao shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty is not so boring. It's just that many of your styles have been deeply rooted in your bones. He may test the Lord again to see if the Lord's ideas are consistent with his. Or, test the Lord's mind. Let's see. What are you thinking, sir?"
He Xi was stunned and said, "Maybe." Then He Xi asked, "Then how should we solve this problem?"
Yao Guangxiao said: "What your Majesty said to your Majesty before, I don't know, so I can't talk about it. Your Majesty needs to think carefully about whether there are any key points that your Majesty should pay special attention to. Perhaps, that is Your Majesty, let Your Majesty come out Beijing’s place.”
He Xi secretly thought: "Pay special attention to. There are too many things that he pays special attention to."
He Xi recalled the content of the conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang, and found that Zhu Yuanzhang had too many concerns. I couldn't tell the key points for a while. However, He Xi finally had an idea. Although it required careful consideration, He finally knew where to start.
Yao Guangxiao asked tentatively: "Sir, why don't you tell me and let Yao know more about it."
He Xi smiled slightly and said to himself: "I would like you to know the details, but I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I tell you." Yes, He Xi has already felt the benefits of Yao Guangxiao at this moment. It's so useful. With Yao Guangxiao, He Xi no longer has to worry about many things like figuring out people's hearts and analyzing political disputes. Yao Guangxiao is like an automatic analyzer. No matter how chaotic and clueless things are, after Yao Guangxiao explains them, they immediately become organized. Although it may not be solved directly.
But I finally know how to solve it.
such a pity.
There are many things in the future that cannot always be stated verbally.
He Xi smiled and said nothing, Yao Guangxiao was such a smart person. Stop talking immediately. Not only was Yao Guangxiao not angry about this, but he also valued He Xi more. If Yao Guangxiao asked, He Xi would tell him everything. Although Yao Guangxiao was moved by He Xi's trust, in his heart, he also despised He Xi's city.
Because this is too frivolous.
Anyone who can achieve great things is one who is not deeply burdened. He can hide millions of soldiers in his heart, no matter how many staff he has. It's impossible to know completely. The so-called big thing is mine. Not in person.
He Xi's hiding was too obvious and he didn't handle it well. It seemed to Yao Guangxiao that something was wrong. But there's nothing wrong with it in principle.
For many talents, the better they treat him, the better. Because the king and his ministers choose each other. Everyone chooses people who are successful. No matter how nice you are to others, if you don't have the capital to succeed, you will still run if you should.
Strong people will only recognize the same people.
You won’t feel silly and sweet. Being innocent and kind without a city is a good thing.
He Xi also felt that she was a little rude and compensated: "Mr. Yao, I will go down this time. What do you mean?"
Yao Guangxiao said: "Listen to your lord. If your lord thinks that the capital needs to retain someone, I am willing to stay for you. If you want to follow your lord, I will do my best."
