Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1466: The favorite 'escort' of scholars

Regarding the special enterprise of Datang Western Trading Company, Li Xuan has adopted a very cautious attitude. First of all, he will never directly cancel the trade monopoly of this company without taking any preparatory measures. fluctuations are too large.

The market value of two billion!

Datang's annual financial revenue is not as much as the market value of this company!

Therefore, Li Xuan will make a lot of preparations. For this reason, after meeting Chen Lifu, he has summoned many courtiers that afternoon, including the Ministry of Commerce and the Immigration and Reclamation Division, as well as the Navy and the Army. People, although they meet different departments and talk about different topics, they are all inseparable from the word India.

Of course, in order to avoid turbulence, Li Xuan didn't talk about anything about the Datang Western Trading Company, he just talked sideways about India's affairs.

When Li Xuan was preparing to make changes to overseas trade in the Indian Ocean, he also met Jia Wenbo, who returned to Beijing to report his work like Chen Lifu.

Jia Wenbo is also a senior official of the new generation that Li Xuan highly values, and to a certain extent, this person is actually more appetizing to a group of military and political leaders of the Tang Empire than Chen Lifu, because no matter how capable Chen Lifu is, after entering office He showed his support for Datang again, but he always had a label on him that was difficult to tear off, that is, he was born in a former Ming official.

Chen Lifu was a scholar of the eight classics in the former Ming Dynasty, and he became an official in the dynasty. Although it is said that Chen Lifu did not get along well in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, he was dismissed every month when he first became an official, but Chen Lifu is still a former Ming Dynasty official. officials.

However, Jia Wenbo is different. This person is not a former Ming official, but a member of the Tang Imperial Examinations. For the first time in his life, he was an official of the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, this is a person.

And his ability is also quite outstanding. Otherwise, when Shanghai was changed to a special county, he would not have been transferred to serve as the first Shanghai special county magistrate, and he could have served in such an important place as Shanghai special county. The county magistrate shows the trust and appreciation of Datang's high-level bosses in him.

Later, he served as the second prefect of Songjiang Prefecture after the restructuring.

Speaking of which, Chen Lifu was his subordinate back then.

Later, he moved to many provinces to hold important positions, and now he has become the governor of Shanxi.

After Jia Wenbo returned to Jinling City, despite the exhaustion all the way, he entered the palace to face the saint the next day.

This is because he felt the crisis. When he first arrived in Jinling City, even through his own news channel, he said that when Chen Lifu met with the saint a few days ago, the Son of Heaven seemed to be very satisfied with his debriefing.

It's more dangerous to drag on for one more day.

He and Chen Lifu used to be colleagues, and because they both worked in Shanghai, they had a good relationship with each other, but at this time, they were direct competitors.

Chen Lifu wants to step over to become the governor of this important province of Guangdong, and he, Jia Wenbo, also has this hope.

He is five years older than Chen Lifu. Although he has already become the governor of Shanxi two years ago, the importance of the current governor of Shanxi is obviously compared with that of the governor of Guangdong.

In the early years, Shanxi, because it was close to the Hetao area, belonged to the frontier provinces, and its strategic position was very important. Although the governor did not care about the military, he also needed to support the military in terms of operations, such as providing logistical supplies. Therefore, the governor of Shanxi in the early years, in the It is a relatively important position in the Tang Empire.

However, this situation changed after the Datang Empire recaptured the Hetao area, because after the Datang Empire established Hefeng Province in the Hetao and Fengzhouchuan areas, Shanxi became a typical inland province, not in the past. frontier provinces.

There are boundless dangers on the outside, and because of the large number of people and less land, the transportation is not convenient. Although there are mineral resources such as coal mines, the Shanxi railway has not been repaired yet, and a large amount of coal cannot be shipped out, so the economy has always been is difficult to develop.

Without a strategic position and the economy is not good, such a province will naturally be gradually marginalized within the empire.

However, Guangdong is different. This province is the second-largest province in terms of economic aggregate among the empire's many provincial roads, and it is also the most important province in the empire's foreign trade.

The same is the governor, the governor of Guangdong is much more important than the governor of Shanxi.

Don't you see, Zhou Yiran, the former governor of Guangdong, just relied on his political achievements in governing Guangdong to enter Gyeonggi in one fell swoop, and he still became the minister on duty in the imperial study?

Although it is said that Zhou Yiran entered the imperial study, it is more because he has served in the local area for more than ten years, served as governor of many provinces, and has accumulated rich qualifications and extraordinary abilities, but it also proves that the governor of Guangdong the importance of this location.

If Jia Wenbo can be transferred to Guangdong to serve as the governor, after two or three years, he can plan to return to Gyeonggi and serve as a minister of a certain department.

Therefore, although it seems that the governor of Shanxi has become the governor of Guangdong, it is just a smooth adjustment, but the political meaning is huge. From the actual situation, this is similar to a half-level promotion.

However, although Jia Wenbo performed very well in the debriefing, Li Xuan also valued it, but to his disappointment, he still failed in the end.

On the fifth day of the second lunar month in the 23rd year of Xuanping, Li Xuan officially decreed that Chen Lifu was appointed governor of Guangdong.

As for Jia Wenbo, of course he went back and forth, and continued to go back to Shanxi to be his governor of Shanxi. This trip back to Beijing became an ordinary debriefing.

Although quite disappointed by this, Jia Wenbo returned to Shanxi in good spirits.

People in the officialdom, who have not experienced a few setbacks. Although Chen Lifu took the lead this time, he was not without gains. At least this time when he returned to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit, he could sense that the Son of Heaven was right. I am still satisfied with my work over the years. As for not being able to compete for the position of Governor of Guangdong, it is not a factor of trust or ability. I am afraid that Chen Lifu has put forward a governance plan that is more in line with the Son of Heaven.

There is nothing he can do about this difference in governance philosophy. After all, Chen Lifu has his own ideas, and he, Jia Wenbo, has his own ideas, and their ideas may or may not be in line with the situation of a certain province.

The important thing is that this time when he returned to Beijing, Jia Wenbo confirmed that he still has weight in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and that Jane is still in the heart of the emperor.

It doesn't matter if you fail this time, just fight for the next chance.

Jia Wenbo returned to Shanxi with disappointment, unwillingness and hope for the future, and Chen Lifu was also preparing to return to Suzhou. After handing over with his successor, he would take a boat directly from the sea to Guangzhou to take office.

He is still very excited to be the governor of Guangdong.

This means that the Son of Heaven agrees with his own governance philosophy, which is very important.

After all, when an official has reached the level of governor, in fact, ability and trust are no longer important. If you don’t have the ability, you will not be able to climb to the high position of the governor. Without the trust of Your Majesty, you can’t sit firmly in such a high position. .

Whether the follow-up can continue to rise, in fact, ability and trust are less important, and more important is whether the political concept is consistent with the Son of Heaven.

However, blindly catering to the political ideas of the Son of Heaven is not acceptable.

It's not that there are no people who do this, but it is destined that they will not achieve much. Everyone is not a fool, but a good person. You deliberately cater to the appetite of the Son of Heaven, and everyone can see it. You don't say anything on the surface, but behind your back It must be extremely contemptible, even the Son of Heaven can see it. For this kind of person, with the character of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely use it, but if you want to get reused, don't count on it.

If Chen Lifu doesn't have his own opinions, and everything caters to the ideas of the Son of Heaven, don't expect to be able to enter the imperial study in this life.

One of the favorite ministers of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Wenhua, is enough, no second is needed.

In addition, he also knew that the Son of Heaven had asked himself to be the governor of Guangdong, probably for the sake of developing the economy of Guangdong, especially the foreign trade economy.

In order to develop overseas trade, it is still very important to develop India, West Asia, North Africa and other markets on a larger scale when the market in Southeast Asia has been gradually saturated, and the market in the Americas has high risks and low returns. In the past, Datang Western Trading Company.

Chen Lifu didn't know how the Son of Heaven was going to solve this problem, but he could guess that Son of Heaven was going to restructure the Datang Western Trading Company.

But this kind of thing, he doesn't care anymore, even if he wants to care, he doesn't have that energy.

Datang Western Trading Company is too special, let alone Chen Lifu, even if those ministers on duty in the imperial study want to target the Writers Association of Datang Western Trading Company, it would be extremely difficult.

After all, the company has a market value of 200 million yuan, and it is also related to the colonization of the empire in India, West Asia, and Africa. If you want to make changes, no one else has this ability except the Son of God.

So Chen Lifu didn't take care of the follow-up. He soon got on the train to Suzhou, ready to go to Suzhou for work handover.

However, when he left, there was one more person in the entourage, and that was the most popular Hua Kui Wanjun girl in Jinling City in the past two or three years.

Of course, Chen Lifu didn't marry the girl Wanjun directly, but Chen Lifu had a wife, and he didn't take the girl Wanjun as a concubine~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Chen Lifu also wanted to face, even if he was a concubine, She had to be a woman from a good family, how could it be possible to marry a brothel woman into the family, even if it was a concubine.

The Chen family has been a scholar for hundreds of years, and it is still necessary to maintain dignity in this kind of thing.

It's just that Miss Wanjun was infatuated, and Chen Lifu also took it to heart, so he took her to Guangdong, and in what name did he take her to Guangzhou?

Travel together!

Referred to as 'escort'.

Scholars invite the oiran to go on a trip. This kind of thing is very common in this era. The world is not surprised, but thinks it is a matter of elegance. Chen Lifu is a person of elegance, and what he does is naturally elegant. , will definitely not do some dishonorable and shameful things.

Chen Lifu still cherishes his feathers.
