Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 24 is the official…
"My lord, this time is no longer the time to consider whether you will take this position. Meili County can be said to be a wealthy place second only to Jiangnan and Donghai. Although Nanmeili is controlled by the West Oran Kingdom and In the hands of the Kingdom of Jutland, even the Central North Meli is already quite impressive, and even the Five Lakes are probably not as rich as there. As you said, there are rich spices, and this kind of thing is not only in great demand for the empire For big things, the market in the Western Continent is wider: it is on the verge of the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea, and it is the only base of the empire on the Aegean Sea. It is also an important window to the Adriatic Gulf and the Pyrenees Sea in the southern part of the Western Continent. The industry is also quite developed: and the wealth accumulated by the spice trade for hundreds of years has also made the industrial and commercial giants there gradually turn their funds to the financial industry, which has led to the extraordinary development of the financial industry in this region, especially in Luxor. It is said that the financial families in Durban and Durban control half of the financial transactions in the entire Aegean Sea and the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea. Such a developed area can be said to be coveted by countless people, and the competition must be extremely fierce, but His Majesty the Emperor. This position is entrusted to you, and His Majesty the Emperor must have considered it."
"Oh? Yunzhong, tell me what your Majesty's plan is for handing over Meili to me? The Post News asked me to return to the imperial capital immediately to report on my duties, and then I might rush to Meili to take up the post soon, so I have to Think about what questions His Majesty will ask after meeting His Majesty, and how should I answer them." Qin Tieliu was still a little nervous, after all, Mei Li was brought under the management of the empire, and he didn't want Tiannan to have Wang Zongxi to lay some foundations for him. However, Mei Li wanted him to work hard with his own hands and feet.
"Your Majesty thinks that His Majesty has given you the post of Governor-General of Meli. There are several considerations. First, you have traveled to the Western Continent and have a good understanding of the customs and customs of the Western Continent. You can enter the state as soon as possible. After all, Meli The region is too far away from the empire, and many things have to be decided after the approval of the empire. I am afraid that the time limit will be affected; second, you have no major involvement with the various forces in the empire, and you should know that the competition for Governor Meli is very fierce. , Maybe His Majesty wants to balance
Let's take a look at the reactions of all parties; third, you are proficient in Lania, and you can also deal with Tianfang, which is also a big advantage: fourth. Your Majesty Cui Wenxiu is also an old acquaintance of yours when you were in the Northwest. I am afraid that the Central Mainland will be in charge of military affairs for a long time now, especially in the lonely corner of Meli County. Your Majesty will also consider a relationship with Cui Wenxiu. Mr. Wenxiu is more suitable for civil servants to consolidate the empire's rule in the middle mainland, and Meli is naturally the most important part. "
Qin Tieliu nodded. As an aide, he has a profound understanding of government affairs, and he can analyze so many truths in a short period of time, although not all of them are accurate. But it is half accurate, especially the first and second, but the fourth is not necessarily accurate. Although I am familiar with Cui Wenxiu, I have not had much contact with him, and my majesty also knows that I have no relationship with military officials. Not very capable, I'm afraid this is still an advantage. People who are too close to the military, especially Cui Wenxiu, may not be able to get high positions in this area. Pauling is just a special case.
"We also have to think about how to respond to the consultations of His Majesty the Emperor and the two prime ministers of the Political Council. This Meili's status is extraordinary, and we have to come up with something real." Qin Tieliu is no longer in the why Will choose to entangle myself in this issue. Turn to consider the most practical problems.
"My lord, although Melly's economy is developed, it is not without its weaknesses. We can put forward a series of rationalization suggestions for its weaknesses. A bottleneck in regional spice export, especially the easternmost Giresun area, although it is very suitable for growing spices, but due to terrain and historical reasons, the traffic there has not been effectively improved, so that the spices there cannot be smoothly This has also greatly restricted the enthusiasm for spice production in this area. If this problem can be solved, the spice production in Meli area can be increased by at least 20%."
The person who continued the conversation was Qiao Chengshan, another senior copyist of Qin Tieliu. Qin Tieliu and Guan Yunzhong were greatly surprised by his familiarity with the situation in the Meili area. Could it be that he had guessed Qin Tieliu a long time ago? Is it possible to be promoted to the governor of Meli?
"Your Excellency and brother Yunzhong don't need to be surprised. Cheng Shan is not that capable to predict that your lord will be promoted to Governor of Meli, but his subordinates have been in charge of agricultural affairs. The empire's demand for spices has always been great, and Cheng Shan has always been indifferent. Thinking about the sky, I hope that the two prefectures in Tiannannan can plant some spices, although they have not succeeded, but they are familiar with the situation in the Meili area." Qiao Chengshan smiled and released Qin Tieliu and Guan Yunzhong. suspicion.
"So that's it. I thought brother Cheng Shan really had the ability to predict things." Guan Yunzhong laughed loudly.
The appointment of Qin Tieliu as Governor of Meili really surprised all the forces in the entire imperial capital. Several popular candidates were not selected, but Qin Tieliu, an outsider who has been keeping a low profile or even doing nothing Even Xiao Tang and Su Qin didn't know about the accidental promotion beforehand, and this appointment was not even recommended by the Government Affairs Council, but was directly appointed by Wufeng.
"Is there a lot of people in the imperial capital now discussing why I appointed Qin Tieliu as the governor of Meili?" This question is not easy to answer.
"Why, is this question difficult to answer?" Wufeng's voice was very flat, without any tendency.
"Your Majesty, there are some discussions. Originally, several candidates with the highest voices were not shortlisted, so some discussions are inevitable." Xiao Tang replied cautiously, not sure what His Majesty's question was. Intention, Xiao Tang did not dare to express his opinion casually, after all, it is a bit unreasonable for His Majesty to directly appoint the governor-general candidate after the two primary negotiations of the Government Administration Council, Wufeng seldom makes such a decision.
"Well, there are some discussions, but Qin Tieliu's appointment as the governor of Meili is not an arrogance. With his ability, he can also be the important task of the governor of Meili." Su Qin glanced at Xiao Tang who lowered his eyes , he knew that the other party didn't have much to say on this issue. The other party had always hoped that Mu Haoran would be the candidate, while the other popular candidate, He Jing, had won the support of many powerful people, but it happened that both of them failed, so Su Qin also tried I really want to ask Wufeng what he thinks about this issue: "Governor He Jing of Heshuo and Governor Mu Haoran of Sanjiang have always been considered the most suitable candidates for Governor Meili, and Zhuge Miao, governor of Gusu City, is also said to be It's very hopeful, everyone thought that Governor Meli would be born among the three, and this minister is also very strange, what does His Majesty think about this matter?"
Sighed lightly, Wufeng knew that both of them had some ideas on this matter, so he did this to avoid difficulties for both of them.
He Jing was the most popular choice among several candidates. Even Angel and Situ Yutang had asked about this question. Wufeng did not blame Angel. The family in the Heshuo area is also because of He Jing's introduction of capital. It is not unusual for her family to ask her. As for Situ Shengtang Wufeng, he also knows that although the Situ family is no longer a politically prominent family, it is beginning to make a contribution to the economically prominent family. Transformation, the Situ family's economic accumulation over the past few hundred years is also quite considerable. They are inextricably linked with the financial aristocrats of the imperial capital. He Shuo has successfully won a large amount of investment in this area of financial aristocrats for more than a year. , which shows that He Jing does have some strengths in this regard.
As for Mu Haoran, without Xiao Tang's support, he would not be qualified to compete for this position. His performance in Northern Luzon was indeed good, but in Sanjiang it was not satisfactory. Wufeng felt that it was necessary to observe for a while , this hurt Xiao Tang's feelings a little~IndoMTL.com~ But it's not that Wufeng didn't intend to compromise on this issue.
"Xiao Tang, Su Tai, I'm a bit arbitrary in this appointment, but I have my considerations. He Jing is a talent, and I value him just because he went to Heshuo to make Heshuo's economy flourish. In one competition, many people helped him blow the trumpet and carry the sedan chair. It seems that talents will not be buried anywhere, but I did not choose him. It is very simple. Meli is an extremely financially developed area. It has just been included in the empire. The political situation It has not completely stabilized yet, and He Jing owed a lot to these financiers in the imperial capital in Heshuo. Once he takes up the post in Meili, there is no guarantee that these shameless financiers in the imperial capital will take advantage of the opportunity Threats, if you want to share a spoonful of money in Merry County, this will inevitably lead to conflicts in the financial circles of the two places. I don't want to see this happen, at least not for now. In addition, Heshuo needs a stable development. What I have considered is that I want He Jing to stay in Heshuo for a while, so that Heshuo can become a stable and prosperous backyard of the imperial capital."
Wufeng considered his words slowly and said: "As for Mu Haoran, I think highly of his performance in Northern Luzon, but why did he fail in Sanjiang? Is there any concern or he can't let go? Whatever is difficult to do, just let go and do it. With my support, what else can he be afraid of? He is serving as an official for the people of the empire, not for that family. Tell him, Xiao Tang, that you don’t have to worry about anything. I can see it, but if he is still so timid, I think he, the governor of Sanjiang, will come to an end!"
