Chapter 1392
Su Qin and Wang Liao almost arrived at Yuhang Prefecture with Liang Chongxin, but the two of them arrived at Yuhang by boat from the imperial capital and then through the canal. Liang Chongxin took a boat from Hanzhong to land in Huzhou and arrived at Yuhang by land. Coincidentally, they both entered Yuhang Prefecture City on the same day.
During this period, Wu Feng had inspected the Zhuangyuanao and Quanzhou military ports in Songjiang, and personally boarded the Huludao military port in the Northern Pearl Islands to inspect the second standing fleet of the Dadongyang Navy. Wu Feng was quite satisfied with the huge changes in the Dadongyang Navy. However, Lei Cangpu, the accompanying naval commander, told Wu Feng that the Milanese people slowed down the delivery speed of the navy's ordering ships. The reason was that the Milanese Navy also added new orders. They needed to consider the order of the Datang Navy after meeting the needs of their own naval forces. This also made Wu Feng a little alert whether the Milanese people had other ideas. Fortunately, the cooperation between the Milanese Navy and the Dadongyang Navy still maintained a relatively tacit relationship. In dealing with the aggressive offensive of the Japanese Navy, the two countries still have a common interest relationship.
While setting the navy as the focus of inspection, Wufeng did not forget another important task this time. Except for Huzhou, the seven prefectures in Jiangnan planned to inspect on their return trip, Wufeng from the rest of the prefectures came one by one. Although it was a bit like a slightest, the emperor's domination had already satisfied the gentry, industry and commerce in various prefectures. Many prefectures and counties may not be able to arrive in their entire lives. Isn't it that his majesty was able to inspect our prefectures at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty?
Every time Wufeng arrives, he will take time to hold discussions with local gentry and business people, and encourage gentry and businessmen to boldly go out of the south of the Yangtze River while expanding investment and reproduction. His vision should not be limited to all aspects and has reached a higher level of Jiangnan. Wufeng also tried his best to recommend Myanmar County, Zhongnan County, Northern Luzon County, as well as Yanyun and Beiyuan County in the north to invest and start businesses in these areas. The cheap labor force in these areas will be the biggest advantage.
It should be said that Wufeng's advocacy and recommendation also played a very important role, especially Wufeng clearly stated that the Ministry of Economic Development has specially established an investment department as a supervision department for encouraging private investment in mines, roads, and terminals to strengthen the industrial and commercial development in impoverished areas of the empire, and at the same time protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors and merchants from being violated by local administrative departments and local local forces. This also won unanimous cheers from merchants in Jiangnan. The inspection of Jiangnan Navy and business greatly alleviated Wufeng's depressed mood because of the unfavorable war in the southwest. Seeing the prosperous Jiangnan, no matter who is, he will feel a sense of comfort in guiding the country.
"Come on, come on, Brother Su, Brother Wang, today Zong Xi and Yuan Chong are suitable for landlords. Zong Xi and Yuan Chong have been here in Jiangnan. This is the first time Brother Su and Brother Wang have come to Yuhang. Today we must have a good time." Wang Zong Xi and Bai Yuan Chong, who were wearing blue shirts, picked up the wine glass and signaled frequently.
This is the most famous Lion Building in Yuhang Prefecture. The Governor and the Lord of the City Shou have a private banquet for the Deputy Prime Minister of the Imperial Government and the Foreign Minister. The third floor was naturally wrapped up and looked particularly quiet.
"Zong Xi, you are so disturbing the people, be careful that those people in the Supervision Bureau will be noisy when they hear it." A smiled at the corner of his mouth, Su Qin took a chopstick and savored the sweet and sour fish and said casually. He and Wang Liao are both from Jiangnan, so he is naturally familiar with the Lion Building of Yuhang Mansion. Sweet and sour fish are a famous dish in the Lion Building. If you don't taste it here, it's like if you don't visit West Lake and White Tower in Yuhang, it would be like a trip to Jiangnan in vain.
"Haha, Brother Su, don't worry. This time, I'm a brother who has really paid off. It's not that he uses his power to suppress others. No matter how powerful the Supervision Bureau is, he can't interfere with me. I treat you with my own salary, right?" Wang Zongxi smiled and shook his head, "Brother Su, you are the Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire. Are you so afraid of these people in the Supervision Bureau?"
"Zong Xi, you can't say that. The Supervisory Council and the Government Affairs Council also perform their own responsibilities. Isn't the Supervisory Council's job just to supervise us? Now Your Majesty has granted great authority to supervise the supervision, and even the intelligence and security agencies directly under His Majesty are supervised by the Supervisory Council. Every quarter, these directly under-affiliated agencies have to send personnel to the Supervisory Council to explain the illegal situation under the Supervisory Council. Linghu Yi's power has risen to a very high level." Su Qin smiled faintly.
"Well, the restriction system set by His Majesty seems to have borrowed from some structures in the Western Continent. However, Lord Moron has the power to guide the Supervisory and the Trial Court as Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Justice belongs to the department under the Government Council. Isn't this a contradiction?" Wang Zongxi had long been a little confused about this power check and balance system, and he just happened to ask clearly today.
"This is not a contradiction. The Ministry of Justice only guides the Supervisory and the Trial House in business, and does not have the power to interfere in the actual affairs of the two houses. Of course, when there are obvious unfairness and obvious mistakes in the work of the two houses, the Ministry of Justice also has the right to correct it, but this seems to require authorization from His Majesty." Su Qin is very clear about the operation of the government agency.
"This is another double-ring buckle, which restricts each other. You can also supervise me, but I can also correct you, it's amazing." Wang Zongxi's last sentence was meaningful.
"Haha, this is also Your Majesty's ingenuity. There are still considerable differences in the folk customs of our East and West continents. It may not be applicable to imitating each other blindly." Su Qin also made a fuss.
"Brother Su and Brother Wang come to the east as his Majesty's call this time for the war situation in the southwest?" Wang Zongxi asked casually.
"Well, it's not for this matter, but why? The deterioration of the war in the southwest this time has shocked the empire. Didn't Liang Chongxin have arrived in Yuhang today? Your Majesty is afraid that he and Ling Tian are leaving for food on the dragon boat, so he probably has to discuss how to deal with the war in the southwest." Su Qin did not hide the fact that the unfavorable war in the southwest is already known to the empire. The empire must take measures to curb this unfavorable momentum, but it is not easy to reverse it in a short period of time. Su Qin has already made his point in his summons in the morning, but His Majesty the Emperor has not made any statement, so Su Qin is not good at speaking.
However, Su Qin also realized that His Majesty seemed not very satisfied with the recent work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. New trends appeared in Milan. Su Qin and Wang Liao were both estimated to be related to the Maqi Khans. The Pasha people made peace with the Peninsula Alliance at an extraordinary speed. The diplomatic department did not receive any news in advance, which made Su Qin and Wang Liao feel a little embarrassed. This has a direct relationship with the disadvantage of the war situation in the southwest. Wang Liao has written a letter to ask for punishment for this, at least His Majesty the Emperor has not yet clarified his attitude.
"Liang Chongxin is probably going to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the war situation in the southwest this time. Cui Wenxiu has succeeded repeatedly on the battlefield in the Central Continent. The unfavorable war situation in the southwest has already dragged down another leg of the empire. Your Majesty must find a way to turn this situation around." Wang Zongxi also echoed.
"Well, but the situation in the southwest is not as simple as the situation in the Central Continent. Behind the Peninsula Alliance is supported by two major forces, the Kingdom of Sioran and Jutland, and the Empire needs to be cautious. Forget it, let's not talk about these things, and naturally there is His Majesty and the military to worry about military affairs. Let's not worry about it here, let's talk about some pleasant topics." Su Qin smiled and changed the topic, "Congratulations to Yuan Chong first."
"Oh? Congratulations to the Lord? Why did Su Xiang say this? Where did the Lord be happy?" Bai Yuanzhong's heart jumped and asked quickly, and glanced at his boss next to him. As long as he was thinking about his boss, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Oh? Su Xiang, Yuan Chong's matter has been settled?" Wang Zongxi obviously knew something.
"Haha, your Majesty and I have agreed today. The appointment will be issued from the Government Council tomorrow. Therefore, it is not a violation to inform Yuan Chong in advance. Yuan Chong will soon serve as the resignation of Yuhang City and promoted to the Governor of the South China Sea. Now Yuan Chong can also prepare for it by himself, choose some suitable staff and prepare for his own shogunate." Su Qin raised his glass to congratulate him, and Wang Zongxi and Wang Liao also raised their glasses to congratulate him.
The sudden surprise made Bai Yuanzhong, who had always been calm and proud, feel a little shaken. He originally thought that after the failure to seek Governor Heshuo, he was transferred to Yuhang as the city guard. On the surface, it seemed that he had come to this place of heaven, but Bai Yuanzhong knew that there was a strong governor like Wang Zongxi. If the city guards wanted to achieve results, they would be covered up by the light of the governor. Instead of doing so, it would be better to go to a more remote prefecture. However, he had no choice but to do anything to do and try his best to cooperate with the Governor's work ideas and make plans. However, he did not expect that happiness would come so suddenly, which made him feel like he was in a dream.
"Su Xiang, two Lords Wang, this is no joke,..." Bo Yuan's face was swollen and red, but there was a light of joy in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Haha, can this kind of joke be made? But the position of the Governor of the South China Sea is not easy to sit. Zhong Wenjing did a good job in the South China Sea, which does not mean that Yuan Chong can do it safely, especially the current situation has changed a lot from when Zhong Wenjing was the Governor." Su Qin's tone became much more serious, and there was a faint smell of pre-term conversation.
"Please teach Su Xiang." Bai Yuanzhong also suppressed his ecstasy and asked respectfully.
