"Sir, this is no longer the time to consider whether you can still accept this position. Meli County can be said to be the second most prosperous place in the East China Sea after Jiangnan. Although Meli is controlled by the Kingdom of Sioran and Jutland, even Meli in the north and middle areas is quite considerable. Even the Five Lakes are probably not as rich as there. As you said, spices are abundant there. This kind of thing not only needs a large amount of things in the empire, but also has a wider market in the Western Continent. It is close to the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea, and is the only base of the empire on the Aegean Sea, and it also leads to Adria in the southern part of the western Continent.

The important window of the Bay and the Pyrenees Sea is also quite developed; and the wealth accumulated by the spice trade over the past few hundred years has also caused the industrial and commercial wealth there to gradually turn their funds to the financial industry, resulting in an extraordinary development of the financial industry in this region, especially in Luxor and Durban, where the financial families are said to have controlled half of the financial transactions in the entire Aegean Sea and the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea. In such a developed region, countless people can be said to be coveted, and the competition must be extremely fierce, but His Majesty the Emperor has given this position to you, and there must be His Majesty the Emperor's considerations."

"Oh? Yun Zhong, what are your plans to hand Meli over to me? The post newspaper asked me to return to the imperial capital immediately and report my duties first, and then I might be rushing to Meli to take office soon. I also have to think about what the questions your Majesty will have after meeting His Majesty, and how should I answer them." Qin Tieliu was still a little nervous. After all, Meli was included in the management of the empire, and he didn't want Wang Zongxi to lay some foundation for him. Meli wanted him to work hard with one step at a time.

"I think that your Majesty has given you the position of Governor General Meli in several aspects. 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, the Meli area is too far from the Empire, and many things must be submitted to the Empire for approval before deciding, I am afraid that the statute of limitations will be affected; Second, you are not very involved with all forces in the Empire. You should be clear that the competition for Governor General Meli is very fierce. Maybe Your Majesty wants to settle the situation.

To weigh the reactions of all parties; thirdly, you know Lanya, and Tianfang can deal with it, which is also a great advantage; fourthly, Lord Cui Wenxiu is also an old acquaintance when you were in the northwest. Now, Lord Cui Wenxiu will probably be responsible for military affairs in the Central Continent for a long time, especially when Meli County is isolated in a corner. Your Majesty also needs to consider a civil servant who is more in line with Lord Cui Wenxiu to consolidate the empire's rule in the Central Continent, and Meli is naturally the most important link."

Qin Tieliu nodded. His aide was well-versed in government affairs. He could analyze so many truths in a short time. Although it may not be all accurate, it was considered to be half accurate, especially the first and second articles. However, the fourth article may not be accurate. Although he and Cui Wenxiu are familiar with Cui Wenxiu, they have not had much contact. Moreover, His Majesty also knows that he and military officials are not very capable. I am afraid that this is still an advantage. People who are too close to the military, especially Cui Wenxiu, may not be able to obtain high positions in this area. Pauling is just an exception.

"We also have to think about how to deal with the consultations between His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister of the State Council. This status of Meli is extraordinary. We must bring out some real things." Qin Tieliu no longer entangled with why he chose himself, but instead considered the most realistic issue.

"Sir, although Meli's economy is developed, it is not without weaknesses. We can make a series of rational suggestions for its weaknesses. For example, although the navigation industry in Meli is developed, land transportation is not smooth. This is a bottleneck for the export of spices in Meli, especially in the easternmost Giresson area, which is very suitable for growing spices, but due to the terrain and history, the traffic there has not been effective improvement, so that the spices there cannot be shipped out 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 can be increased by at least 20%.

The conversation was followed by another senior Qin Tieliu aide, Qiao Chengshan. His familiarity with the situation in Meili was surprised by Qin Tieliu and Guan Yunzhong. Did he have long guessed whether Qin Tieliu would be promoted to Governor General of Meili?

"Your Majesty and Brother Yun Zhong should not be surprised. Chengshan is not that capable of predicting that he can be promoted to Governor General of Meli. However, his subordinates have always been responsible for agricultural affairs. The empire has always had a lot of demand for spices. Chengshan has always been whimsical and hopes that the two mansions in the south can see if they can grow some spices. Although they failed, they are more familiar with the situation in Meli area." Qiao Chengshan smiled and released Qin Tieliu and Guan Yunzhong's suspicion.

"So that's it. I thought Brother Chengshan really had the ability to predict the future." Guan Yunzhong laughed.

The appointment of Qin Tieliu to Governor Meli, which really surprised all forces in the entire imperial capital. None of the popular candidates were selected, but Qin Tieliu, an outsider who had been low-key and had no action, was unexpectedly promoted. He did not even know about Xiao Tang and Su Qin in advance. This appointment was not even directly appointed by the candidate recommended by the State Council. The State Council simply issued an appointment letter in accordance with the procedures.

"Are you talking about why I appointed Qin Tieliu as Governor General of Meli?" Wu Feng suddenly asked this question, causing Xiao Tang and Su Qin to look at each other for a moment, and they both felt that this question was difficult to answer.

"Why, is this question difficult to answer?" Wu Feng's voice was very plain and he couldn't hear any tendencies.

"Your Majesty, there are some discussions. The candidates with the highest demands were not shortlisted, so some discussions are inevitable." Xiao Tang replied carefully. He couldn't figure out what his Majesty's intentions were, and Xiao Tang did not dare to express his opinions casually. After all, it is a bit unreasonable that His Majesty the Emperor appointed the governor to the candidate without the two primary consultations of the State Council. Wufeng rarely makes such a decision.

"Well, there is some discussion, but Qin Tieliu's appointment as Governor Meli is not a big deal. With his ability, he can also bear the important task of Governor Meli." Su Qin glanced at Xiao Tang with his eyes down. He knew that the other party was not very good at talking about this issue. The other party always hoped that Mu Haoran would be the one, while another popular candidate He Jing had won the support of many powerful figures. But both of them were not selected. Su Qin tentatively wanted to ask Wu Feng how he considered this issue: "Governor He Jing, He Jing, Governor Sanjiang, Mu Haoran, have always been the most suitable candidates for Governor Meli, and Gusu City Guard Zhuge Miao is said to be very hopeful. Everyone thought that Governor Meli would be among these three people. Wei was also very strange. Your Majesty didn't know how he thought about this matter?"

After sighing softly, Wufeng knew that both of them had some ideas about this matter, and doing this himself would prevent them from being difficult to do.

He Jing was the most popular among the few people. Even Angel and Situ Yutang had asked this question. Wufeng did not blame Angel. This was not Angel's original intention. After all, the Huey family was still her parents' home. The Huey family also came in because He Jing attracted investment in He Shuo area. It was ordinary for her parents to ask her about it. As for Situ Yutang, Wufeng also knew that although the Situ family was no longer a prominent political family, it was beginning to transform into an economic family. The Situ family's economic accumulation over the past few hundred years is quite considerable. They have close ties with the financial aristocrats in the imperial capital. He Shuo has successfully won a large amount of investment in the financial aristocrats in the past year, which also shows that He Jing has 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 it was not satisfactory when he was in Sanjiang. Wufeng felt that it was necessary to observe for a while, which hurt Xiao Tang's feelings, but Wufeng did not intend to compromise on this issue.

"Xiao Tang, Su Qin, I am a bit arbitrary in this appointment, but I have my considerations. He Jing is a talent, and I value him by going to Heshuo to make Heshuo's economy look good. This time, many people helped him to 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. Meili is an extremely developed region with financial resources. Now he has just been incorporated into the empire and the political situation has not been completely stabilized. He Jing owe the emperor in Heshuo.

These financiers in the capital have a lot of feelings. When Meli is in office, it is not guaranteed that these innocent and shameless financiers in the imperial capital will take the opportunity to threaten them. If you think of Meli to get a share of the pie, this will inevitably trigger conflicts between the financial circles of the two places. I don’t want to see this happen, at least I don’t want this at the moment. In addition, Heshuo needs a stable development and is also my consideration. I want He Jing to stay in Heshuo for a while and make Heshuo a stable and developed backyard in the imperial capital."
