Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 29 Personnel Selection

Annie's departure seems to have also affected Wufeng's state of mind. He didn't know why he suddenly became so interested in this woman he hadn't paid attention to. Could it be that the other party's performance stimulated him or his own feelings happened. Change, he asked himself repeatedly, but could find no result. However, all of this does not affect his reason and judgment. As the thickest barrier in the north of Western Xinjiang, the importance of Jiama and Fanlin is even more irreplaceable. There are as many as six divisions in the Terok Army The overstaffing of the country is enough to prove this point.

Yang Zhengbin's opinion on economic development at the banquet also deeply hurt Wufeng. There are still quite a lot of unstable factors in the western Xinjiang territory, and many of these unstable factors are due to excessive non-government activities. It was caused by poverty, which became a favorable condition for Wufeng to easily win the hearts of the people before, but it was only when it became the territory of Western Xinjiang that Wufeng deeply felt the huge pressure brought by these factors.

Yang Zhengbin quickly submitted to Wufeng the list of prefectures and counties included in the poverty-stricken areas in the current control area of ​​​​Xijiang. Yunzhong Prefecture, the three prefectures of Tianshui, Heishan, and Longquan in Heshuo, and the Pamir region that is applying to join North Luzon County as one of the prefectures, while East Tengger County is not included because of the nomadic habits of the local people Even so, the blacklist of as many as 18 prefectures and counties still made Wufeng gasp.

He had some doubts about whether Yang Zhengbin had been thinking about the 200 million gold coins he got from Tian Yi. James was a classmate of this guy. Before the detailed introduction, he also had to admit that these local areas were facing considerable difficulties. It may even endanger its own prestige and rule in these areas.

Traffic and infrastructure problems are common problems that restrict the economic development of these areas. Drought and wars have also had a huge impact on the prefectures belonging to the hinterland of the empire. Many prefectures and counties that were originally relatively good encountered the Taiping Sect. After the torment and the ravages of the defeated empire, it has been completely reduced to wild land, such as Longquan Black Mountain in Beiyuan and Heshuo. In the area newly attached to Western Xinjiang, the original local rulers did not have a plan on how to promote local economic development. They only cared about squeezing the people for wealth, and the infrastructure was almost blank. Under such circumstances, even those who are willing to invest Businessmen can also be intimidated by these factors.

Yang Zhengbin's submission of these lists to Wufeng did have the intention of blackmailing His Royal Highness the King of Qin. He certainly knew that since His Royal Highness Qin wanted to keep the funds, there must be other uses. However, it is also a good thing to make His Royal Highness King Qin aware of the many problems in the territory. Economic development is not empty talk, and it cannot be solved by the Government Affairs Department alone. There are many things that should be done by His Royal Highness King Qin, and he has to be taken care of.

However, Yang Zhengbin still did not expect that His Royal Highness King Qin would so generously allocate 100 million gold coins to himself to solve the economic development of these impoverished areas, 100 million gold coins! What kind of number is this? For Yang Zhengbin, this is simply a natural pie. Originally expecting to extract 20 to 30 million gold coins was already the limit. Unexpectedly, after reading the list and the situation introduced, His Highness King Qin approved this huge amount of funds without hesitation. Although this is not enough to solve the problem all at once. Despite the predicament in many regions, at least for the time being, the funds can be used to do some important things that need to be done urgently, but Yang Zhengbin, who is holding the money, is a little uneasy because he just got the funds out of thin air.

Wufeng, who was straightforward and generous once, was also heartbroken. This was originally used by him to develop and operate the navy, but now he has to give half of it to the Economic Development Department. The construction expenditure of the Great Nanyang Fleet has already made the Financial Secretary shout out that it can't bear it, and the formation of the Eighth, Ninth, and Thirteenth Legions has brought the Financial Secretary to the brink of bankruptcy. The funds originally obtained from Indiana and the profits earned from the food trafficking movement have been shrinking in this continuous war, and the areas that have been continuously attached also need funds, plus the reorganization and dismissal of the newly established three legions, A sum of money flowed out like running water, which made James take good care of himself and added a few wrinkles on his face. And now the Financial Secretary has clearly told Wufeng that he no longer has the ability to support Wufeng's plan to build the Great Eastern Fleet. If it wasn't for the huge influx of funds provided by Tian Yi, how could Wufeng dare to make Ling Tian feel arrogant? He patrolled south of the Yangtze River to form the Great Eastern Fleet.

It was only at this time that Wufeng realized how difficult it is to rule such a huge territory as the empire, and he also deeply understood the true meaning of the saying that money is scarce when it is used up. At any time, there was never enough money. If it wasn't for the financial secretary's meticulous calculations, the wealth earned from Indiana and the profits earned from the grain trade movement would have been exhausted long ago, and even this battle would not be able to last.

Xiao Tang also put forward his own suggestion to Wufeng. In view of the urgency of developing the local economy, Wufeng suggested that Wufeng study and approve a large number of vacant local officials as soon as possible, especially appoint the governors of Beiyuan and Tiannan counties as soon as possible, and It is possible to be included in the governor of Donghai County in Western Xinjiang soon. Only by appointing the governor early can the political power of a large administrative region be relatively stable, and it will also help the local administrative region to formulate a development plan suitable for the actual situation of the region in a timely manner, like the governor of Beiyuan County. Not sure, even though the Government Affairs Administration intends to support Beiyuan to promote the economic development of Beiyuan, but there is no suitable leader, which is also an important factor delaying the economic development of Beiyuan.

The competition for the governors of Beiyuan and Tiannan counties was very fierce. Recommendations from all sides made Wufeng in a dilemma. In the end, Wufeng chose Wenming, a member of the Chinese family, a member of the seven major business families in the south of the Yangtze River, as the governor of Beiyuan. Choosing Wenming as the governor of Beiyuan is to declare to the business class of the entire empire that their standards for selecting officials are different from those of the original empire, and to break the restrictions on the appointment of officials. Funds, to find a shortcut for the development of dilapidated Beiyuan. The candidate for Governor of Tiannan finally fell on the head of Northwest University President Qin Tieliu. Qin Tieliu was not the candidate for Governor of Tiannan at first, but after careful consideration, Wufeng resolutely chose Qin Tieliu as Governor of Tiannan , This made many people feel incomprehensible, and many people even wondered if Wufeng was showing favor to the Qin family among the five major families of the empire, so as to win over the vacillating forces among the major families of the empire.

Following that, Wufeng approved the appointment of more than a dozen prefectures including Qingyang, Gusu, Weiyang, Baling, Jiujiang, Anqing, etc. by the Government Affairs Department. Several officials were investigated for corruption and handed over to the Trial Court for trial, including high-priced officials such as the director of a government.

The appointment and dismissal of this series of personnel once again caused huge waves in Western Xinjiang, because as many as 30% of the more than ten city guard positions were selected from business owners' families, which completely overturned the previous empire. The tradition that administrative officials must be born in gentry families, especially in the selection of the three key city guards of Gusu, Weiyang, and Huzhou, has attracted almost too many people's attention, even "Jiangnan Morning Post" and "Rudongnan Express News" Newspapers representing the attitudes of the Jiangnan gentry and the Jiangnan business class also reported for several days on the selection and appointment of the city guards of the two places by the Xijiang Government Affairs Bureau. As a result, the candidates for the city guards of Gusu and Weiyang were both won by Zhuge Miao, the former guard of Jincheng, and He Zichang, the former guard of Taixuan, who came from a business family. The out-and-out spokesperson of the business class, whose wife is from the Murong family of the seven great families in the south of the Yangtze River. Taking the analysis article of Duodongnan Express as an example, in this battle for city defense, the business class has won a big victory. The rise of the business world is unstoppable.

But "Jiangnan Morning Post" retorted sourly ~IndoMTL.com~ Fortunately, the governor of Jiangnan and the city guard of Yuhang both came from gentry families, otherwise those businessmen who are interested in money would just declare that Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of their merchants , Don't you see that His Royal Highness King Qin is still from a noble family? !

During this large-scale appointment of city guards, officials of some ethnic minorities also began to emerge, becoming an eye-catching force on the political stage in western Xinjiang. This is the second Indian immigrant to serve as a high-ranking official after Rao became the director of the Combat Readiness Department. The vacant Qinzhou city guard is a Gaoyue tribe. The new city guard of Qingyang turned out to be a member of the Wusun tribe!

As the mouthpiece newspaper of Xijiang, "Northwest Star" conducted a comprehensive analysis of this large-scale personnel appointment. "Northwest Star" special political analyst, Northwest University professor Qian Mingliang's signed article believes that No one is the loser or the winner in this political watershed-style power struggle in the eyes of everyone. In fact, with the expansion of the geographical jurisdiction of Western Xinjiang, the officials chosen by His Royal Highness, whether they come from the business class or the gentry class or Ordinary citizens all have something in common, that is, they have a certain amount of knowledge, have certain social experience, and have considerable credibility and recognition among the people. Which class they come from is no longer a necessary condition for the selection of officials. It proves the increasingly diversified sources of officials in Xijiang and the maturity of the selection system in Xijiang.
