Chapter 213: Born to Yongan’s real mother, born to Peiping’s stepmother, picked up from other prefectures (please subscribe!)
"Sir Ouyang, although Beizhili has developed very well, except for Yong'an Prefecture, which is the most developed, and Beiping Prefecture, which has a good foundation, the other state capitals are hard to describe. Now many people are talking about these state capitals. "
Xu Liang whispered.
"What are the people talking about?" Ouyang Lun asked curiously.
"They said that only Yong'an Prefecture is the biological son of the Chief Envoy, Beiping Prefecture is descended from the descendants, and the other prefectures are picked up from the ground. The Chief Envoy doesn't want to care about other prefectures at all." Xu Liang said truthfully.
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.
This was obviously a way of venting his feelings towards Ouyang Lun. Normal people would definitely be very angry when they heard this.
But just when everyone thought Ouyang Lun would get angry, Ouyang Lun laughed.
"Haha! What Lao Xu said was arranged. He is so talented."
"Master Ouyang, these words are circulated among the people. I'm really not sure who said it first. The official only heard about it. Please calm down." Xu Liang said quickly.
Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "Calm down? I'm not angry at all, why should I calm down?"
"If you want to say that the people have a clear mind, what they say is really true. Yong'an Mansion is really my biological child. You know, I have stayed in Kaiping County for three years and in Yong'an Mansion for almost two years. , five whole years! Do you know how I got here in those five years?"
“I don’t know how happy I was during those five years!”
Forehead.
Li Fuyuan, Xu Liang and others have black lines on their faces. They thought you would remember the bitterness and think of the sweetness!The result is all sweet!
"If it weren't for the fact that my father-in-law, who was the emperor, insisted on promoting me to an official position, even if he killed me, he wouldn't be the Chief Secretary. Wouldn't it be better for me to stay in Kaiping County? If I want to fish, I can fish, if I want to be lazy, I can be lazy and disappear. I haven’t seen anyone come looking for me for half a month. Look at me now. Whenever I don’t show up for a few days, you guys will come to my door.”
"One more thing is right. I really don't want to worry about other state capitals. After all, Yong'an Prefecture exists, and the whole of Beizhili will benefit from it. Life will be better than that of other state capitals in other provinces. I thought everyone would Be content!”
"But after all, I still underestimate people's greed. After living a good life, I just want a better life. They are all unruly people!!"
Ouyang Lun took two deep breaths.
call--
call--
"I can't be angry, how can I be angry!"
"It's not worth getting angry with these unruly people. After all, they are the people under my rule in name. If they are really unruly people, they are also unruly people raised by me."
After some self-strategy, Ouyang Lun regained his smile.
"Master Ouyang, what should we do next?" Xu Liang mustered up the courage to speak.
Ouyang Lun glared at Xu Liang angrily, "Whenever you encounter something, you know how to ask me. After all, you are also senior officials in Beizhili, so you can't think of a solution on your own? Sometimes I want to lift your skulls and see what's inside." No brains!"
"The unruly people are also common people. Since the people have demands, we can't turn a blind eye. After all, if you don't make decisions for the people as an official, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!"
"What we have to do now is to select a state capital, plan its development well, and build it into a development model state capital. I will only demonstrate it once. After that, you will have to rely on you to build those state capitals. If it is messed up or not done well, , I will cause trouble for you!"
Master Ouyang is finally going to take action! !
Hearing this, all officials including Li Fuyuan and Xu Liang were full of expectations at this moment.
"Sir Ouyang, I don't know which state capital you want to choose as a development model state this time. If you have no choice in your mind for the time being, I will recommend Beiping Prefecture. As the provincial capital of Beizhili, Beiping Prefecture has a good foundation. It is also necessary for development!" Xu Liang said quickly.
"Sir, I think it's better to choose Yong'an Mansion. Yong'an Mansion is relatively mature in all aspects, and you have managed and developed it yourself. There is no need to bother you at all. Let the adults from other prefectures go to our Yong'an Mansion to study. Go back After that, if we apply what we have learned flexibly in governance, other state capitals in Beizhili will definitely develop quickly!" Zhao Tianming said with confidence.
Originally, upon hearing that Ouyang Lun wanted to select a prefecture as a development model prefecture, many prefects wanted to nominate their own prefectures. However, as Xu Liang and Zhao Tianming opened their mouths, the other prefects chose to shut up.
Beiping Prefecture is the capital of Beizhili Province. It is so important that it must be developed. It is very reasonable to position it as a model state capital for development. However, Yong'an Prefecture is currently the most developed and wealthy state capital in Beizhili Province. There is no need to worry about it anymore and it can be directly positioned as a demonstration state for development. The state capital saves time and effort.
Compared with Beiping Prefecture and Yong'an Prefecture, other prefectures really have no advantages at all, so naturally they are embarrassed to speak.
But just when everyone thought that Ouyang Lun would choose one of Beiping Mansion and Yongan Mansion, Ouyang Lun said loudly: "I have decided that this time, the development demonstration state capital will be - Xuanfu !”
As soon as this word comes out.
Everyone was stunned, but Jiao Ren, the prefect of Xuan Prefecture, became excited instantly after realizing it. This was a big cake falling from the world, and it was filled with meat fillings. For a moment, Jiao Ren felt that he was better than other prefects. Three points higher.
Unlike Jiao Ren's excitement, the other prefects looked puzzled.
Xu Liang and Zhao Tianming were even more puzzled.
"Master Ouyang, why is this! Xuanfu is located on the border, with a sparse land and few people. The Beiyuan cavalry usually invades the Ming Dynasty from Xuanfu, so it cannot develop at all!"
"This is a model state capital for targeted development. We should choose a more suitable place!"
Xu Liang said hurriedly.
Regarding Xu Liang's words, except for Jiao Ren, the prefect of Xuan Prefecture, the other prefects nodded in agreement.
You people are just jealous!It's finally my turn for Jiao Ren and Xuanfu to be rich and powerful!
Jiao Ren, the prefect of Xuan Prefecture, was very anxious. He was afraid that Ouyang Lun would change his mind, but he felt guilty and wanted to speak but finally closed his mouth.
Ouyang Lun said calmly, "Old Xu, since you know so much, why don't you come? If you can do a good job in developing this model state capital, I will directly apply to the court to let you be the chief envoy of Beizhili. Don't do it." I thought I was speaking out of anger, but I don’t know how happy I would be if someone replaced me!”
"Lao Xu, do you want to do it?"
"No, no, you still have to do this, Mr. Ouyang. I...I can't do it!" Xu Liang shook his head repeatedly.
"Old Li, what about you? Do you have any ideas?" Ouyang Lun looked at Li Fuyuan again. "Ahem, Lord Ouyang, I am an inspector and it is not my responsibility to manage local government affairs." Li Fuyuan said with a smile.
"Tch - I thought you were really good at it!" Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes and continued: "To tell you the truth, I did not choose Xuanfu randomly, but I had good reasons."
"Xuanfu is the gateway to the north of the Ming Dynasty. It is closest to the nomads in the north. Beiyuan is Beiyuan, and the herdsmen in the north are herdsmen in the north. You have to look at it separately. After all, not all herdsmen are at odds with us. There are more people who want to We can obtain daily necessities from our Ming Dynasty, do business with herdsmen, and earn money from foreigners. Xuanfu has this geographical advantage!"
"The most important thing for me to choose Xuanfu is that there were enough rubbish before Xuanfu. Only in this way can Xuanfu be representative and reflect my level. To put it bluntly, the difficulty is too low. I’m not interested, do you understand?”
Forehead.
Hearing this, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.
After hearing this, Xuanfu is indeed a good fit!
Jiao Ren, the magistrate of Xuanfu, never expected that Ouyang Lun's attention was attracted by the fact that Xuanfu was so rubbish. But did Xuanfu really have a geographical advantage?
Whoever is the prefect of Xuanfu will shake his head when he sees the geographical location of Xuanfu?
The Beiyuan cavalry crossed the Great Wall from time to time to plunder, how can ghosts develop!
But no matter what, Xuanfu has been overturned by Mr. Ouyang. For this reason alone, Xuanfu's status among all the state capitals in North Zhili will go directly from the bottom to the top, and at least to the top three! !
As the prefect of Xuanfu, his status naturally increased.
Again, it was finally his turn to be rich and wealthy.
Seeing Ouyang Lun's persistence, Li Fuyuan and the prefects also understood that this 'development model state capital' was none other than Xuan Prefecture.
Li Fuyuan thought for a while, raised his head and said: "Master Ouyang, what you said does make sense. If we can do business with the northern herdsmen, maybe we can really develop the Xuanfu. But now the Ming Dynasty and Beiyuan are in a state of hostility. They Are you really willing to trade with us?"
"Furthermore, you have privately traded with Beiyuan herdsmen. Once this matter is brought to the capital, people with ulterior motives may want to impeach you again, Mr. Ouyang."
The herdsmen have a large number of cattle and sheep, as well as excellent horses that can be used as war horses. These are all needed by the Ming Dynasty. If they can get these into the Ming Dynasty and resell them, they will make a lot of money. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty can make tea, Selling wine and silk to herdsmen can make a lot of money. Once again, it’s a huge profit!
Not only Li Fuyuan but also other prefects know this very well. To put it bluntly, this is smuggling! !
It's just that Li Fuyuan took Ouyang Lun's face into consideration and didn't say it openly.
One is smuggling, the other is communicating with enemy countries, both are serious crimes!
The laws of the Ming Dynasty clearly stated that there is no need for smuggling, let alone communication with enemy countries. If Ouyang Lun really does this, he is looking for death!!
Hearing Li Fuyuan's words, Jiao Ren, the prefect of Xuan Prefecture, woke up from his joy, as if someone had poured cold water on him.
Yup!
Isn’t the transaction Mr. Ouyang is talking about smuggling and communicating with enemy countries?
If the court knew about this, he wasn't sure whether Ouyang Lun would be fine, but he, Jiao Ren, would definitely lose his head.
"Sir Ouyang, I think this development model state capital does not necessarily have to be in Xuanfu. I think Bao'an Zhili Prefecture can also be used. In terms of location, Bao'an Zhili Prefecture is closer to Beiyuan than our Xuanfu. .”
Jiao Ren said quickly.
Upon hearing this, the Zhili Prefecture Governor's face changed, and he quickly said: "Master Jiao, what do you mean by this? I have never offended you on weekdays! And since Master Ouyang has appointed you Xuanfu, then you should Listen carefully to Lord Ouyang! Why are you hiding your decision from Lord Ouyang? "
Forehead.
Jiao Ren was speechless after being rebuffed like this. He did not dare to quarrel with Bao Zhili Prefecture Zhizhou anymore. Instead, he turned around and explained to Ouyang Lun, "Master Ouyang, I don't mean to be lowered to the official position, it's just..."
"It's just that you don't dare to bear the charges of smuggling and colluding with the enemy." Ouyang Lun said angrily.
In addition to Yong'an Prefecture, Beizhili governs Beiping, Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Shunde Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture, Xuanfu, Yanqing Zhili Prefecture and Baoan Zhili Prefecture.
Among them, Baoding Zhili Prefecture, Xuanfu, Beiping Prefecture and Yongan Prefecture are all located on the northern border. Others such as Baoding, Hejian and Zhending are not border areas and are adjacent to Shandong, Hebei and Shaanxi.
If you want to develop trade with the north, your only choice is to choose from Baoan Zhili Prefecture, Xuanfu, Beiping Prefecture, and Yongan Prefecture. Beiping and Yongan have been excluded, leaving only Baoan Zhili Prefecture, Xuanfu, and Yongan Prefecture. Xuanfu, it is precisely because of this that Jiao Ren recommended Baoan Zhili Prefecture.
"Yes" After Jiao Ren said, he lowered his head.
Not only Jiao Ren, but other prefects also lowered their heads for fear of being targeted by Ouyang Lun.
Just kidding, although they come to be officials with the ideal of benefiting the people, they don't have to risk their own lives or even the lives of their entire family just for the sake of development.
Only Zhao Tianming raised his head and said loudly: "You are so short-sighted!"
"How could Mr. Ouyang do such things as smuggling and colluding with the enemy? You have been doing it in Beizhili for a long time after all. You are also witnesses of how Yong'an Mansion developed!"
"Which of these, including building roads, building bridges, opening ports, conducting overseas trade, establishing stock exchanges, and building new districts, violates the imperial decree?"
"You will definitely talk about sea trade. That is authorized by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Everything is legal and compliant!"
"Of course, when doing things, there will always be some villains who sow dissension, slander and frame up, but our Emperor is a sage and Lord Ouyang is innocent. Even if he is arrested many times in the prison, it will not matter. The person who came out safely and worked with Mr. Ouyang, the one who didn’t get promoted?"
"I - Zhao Tianming, before I met Mr. Ouyang, I was just a low-ranking official of the ninth rank, but now I have become a member of the provincial government and can be regarded as a high-ranking official!"
"Master Guo Zi, Master Wu Jingzhi, Master Mao Youfu, etc. Some of them entered the imperial court, and some became officials of a certain territory!"
"Master Ouyang, have you ever treated someone with you badly?"
As Zhao Tianming, who has followed Ouyang Lun all the way, he is very clear about Ouyang Lun's methods, and he is even more convinced that these problems will be solved by Ouyang Lun.
These passionate, indignant and heartfelt words came out.
The expressions of all the officials at the scene suddenly changed, and their eyes became increasingly complicated.
"My lords, we are all under Lord Ouyang now. What we have to do is to unconditionally trust and support Lord Ouyang!"
"As long as Lord Ouyang takes action, there is no problem that cannot be solved!"
