Chapter 239 - The Concept of the Special Administrative Region

Wang Xu listened to Sun Xiangfu's words, and his good mood in the past few days suddenly disappeared, and his eyes rolled for a long time before he looked at Sun Xiangfu again, "Do you have any way to solve this problem?" ”

"Well, well, I can't limit what others can plant in the field! However, I only taught the method of planting spices to your serfs, and even my own subordinates did not plant them, so you have to manage your own serfs well, and don't dig them up from others, so that cumin is still exclusively planted by your royal family in a short time. ”

Hearing this, although Wang Xu's mood was a little relaxed, he still felt a little depressed, tens of thousands of serfs, completely controlled? Even the Wang family can't do it! But this thing, it's no wonder that Sun Xiangfu is happy! People have said that they haven't even taught their own people, and they haven't planted a single acre, and they basically won't plant in the future, which is very face-saving.

What he said was a big problem, Wang Xu felt that he had to go back to discuss with the clan elders as soon as possible, at least reach an agreement with several other families, even if it was at a certain price, he would grow this cumin spice exclusively to keep his own profits.

After sending Wang Xu away, Sun Xiangfu looked at the invitation he put on the desk, and smiled leisurely, interest is a good thing, but when it is placed in front of a group of greedy people, it will cause scramble, and this scramble will continue to destroy the friendship between these families.

"The guy who went out just now is Wang Xu?"

Now there are few people who can speak so casually in front of Sun Xiangfu, and there are few people in the entire Anbei Prefecture, and it is the deputy sent by Li Shimin to Sun Xiangfu, Changsun Chong.

"Well, entering the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is like entering your own home, except for me, there is only him, by the way, look at your appearance, you are not a person who is diligent in political affairs, why did you come to report so quickly."

The position of the eldest grandson Chong is the governor of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and in the case of the capital protector, it is a noble official, because he does not specifically manage anything, and has no real power.

Since following Li Jing into the Shuozhou territory, he did not follow the huge caravan slowly, but led his family guards to look at the various cities of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and now, it is the first time to report to the Yamen of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

"Hehe, the task assigned by His Majesty, if you don't complete it, besides, your civil official series in Shanyang City are all in the hands of Wang Xu's people, so it's okay if I come!"

"You are wrong, I just need a wise civil official to help me be pragmatic, and it is best to let those officials who are in retreat also have some facts for the people."

Seeing that the eldest Sun Chong sat down directly in the position where Wang Xu had just sat down, Sun Xiangfu chatted with him by the way.

"Pragmatic? Retreat? ”

"Civil affairs, in fact, there is no coincidence, as long as we officials are bent on doing good things for the people, so that they are fed and clothed, we will definitely be loved by the people, on the contrary, if the officials want to oppress the people with authority, then the people will definitely deviate from the government.

Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is the first Imperial Protectorate established by the Tang Dynasty, before, the imperial court did not have such an administrative body, so, as the first Imperial Protector, I want to use some new ways to manage here, this is not the Central Plains, there are more Hu people than Han people, I believe that Your Majesty and the ministers of the court can also understand. ”

"What do you want to do?"

In fact, the series of policies that Sun Xiangfu is now implementing in Shanyang are completely different from the system of the Tang Dynasty, however, Li Shimin expressed his support for Sun Xiangfu in the secret decree, and the eldest Sun Chong, as a person sent by Li Shimin, naturally knows what Li Shimin means, but looking at Sun Xiangfu's serious expression, he feels that the previous ones may be just the beginning, and the big changes are still to come.

"I plan to completely abandon the imperial court's way of managing the local area, and set up the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate as a special administrative region."

"Special Administrative Districts?"

Hearing this word that he had never heard before, even if Changsun Chong knew that Sun Xiangfu liked to engage in some strange and famous things, he was a little confused in his mind, was this going to make trouble?

"Yes, whether it is taxes, laws, bureaucracy, everything, it is all changed."

"All the changes?"

The eldest grandson Chong was stunned, he really dared to say that changing all political systems is a call for independence?

"Yes! You see, our territory is so broad, first of all, we can't follow the solidified household registration management system of Datang, we should lift the restrictions on population movement, and it is best to reach an agreement with the imperial court, so that all those who have no jobs in Datang, have low incomes, and are willing to leave their hometowns to come out to earn money, we have many jobs waiting for them in Shanyang······"

In Datang, the local officials are relatively strict in the management of the people under their rule, and the people cannot run away indiscriminately, of course, they themselves are not willing to run out.

Then, if Sun Xiangfu wants to promote the industrialization of the north, there will be no available people, which will make the development of Shanyang lag slowly. After all, Sun Xiangfu's goal was to quickly digest all the lands occupied by the Turks, so as not to let Xue Yantuo, Hui and other troops grow and become the new northern border trouble of the Tang Dynasty.

In the industrial metropolis of later generations, any urban village has a population of hundreds of thousands, and he is such a big Anbei Protectorate, such a big Shanyang City, there are only 100,000 people, the old and weak, women and children are still mixed, no matter how much the productivity is enlarged, it will not be enlarged, after all, many people are going to be used for farming, so he is extremely short of manpower.

After Sun Xiangfu began to think about this problem, he thought of the southward migrant workers in later generations, at that time, the country's window to the outside world was the coastal city, but in this period, it was the north, a place like Shanyang.

So can he get a northbound migrant job in Datang?

From the household registration system, to the law, and then to the official system, Sun Xiangfu said the ideas in his heart one by one, and each of them was very reasonable, so that the eldest Sun Chong had a feeling that he would not be able to do it, and he listened to Sun Xiangfu for nearly an hour in a daze.

"Wait, you wait, you said that the law makes more detailed and comprehensive provisions, I can understand, this, let the officials be servants of the people, and the officials should be servants of the people? What do you think in your head, is this possible? ”

Hearing the second half, Changsun Chong really couldn't listen to it, if he really did what Sun Xiangfu said, then the people under his rule would not be the people, he was the uncle, so that there would be no chaos?

"Uh, this thing is a bit unrealistic! That, in fact, does not mean that they have to be servants to the people, but just let their work be mainly to serve the people, and take this index as one of the evaluation criteria for political performance, and use officials, for diplomas, births, do not restrict, be able to read, arithmetic, have organizational ability, and have no stain on morality. ”

When it comes to servants of the people, even in later generations, there are a few officials who can match these four words, Sun Xiangfu also knows that what he is talking about is just an ideal state, just like the Confucian thought of Sage Confucius, which is the best reason in the world, but you can only listen to it, and it is impossible to do it all.

"Let me ask you, where did you put Your Majesty if you let the people elect officials?"

"Well, this is simple, the imperial court can control the right to nominate! Who is good to the people, only the people themselves know, and there is nothing wrong with the choice of respecting the will of the people of the magistrates below the county level! Anyway, the population of a county can't rebel. ”

"Even if what you say is out of the blue, what will Your Majesty and the entire scholar class think about this matter? They are all against it, and no matter how thoughtful you are, it is in vain. ”

"Let's try, try it on a small scale, I've chosen all the places, Dingxiang City, it's still a mess so far, I'm going to let you go, arrest all aspects, there are only one or two thousand households around the population, in case it doesn't work, it's not too late for us to change it back."

Dingxiang City in this period is almost in the position of Inner Mongolia and Lingel in later generations, and the situation before Shanyang is similar, where there are more Hu people than Han people, once ruled by Jieli and Tuli in turn, but the city outline is still there, from Shanyang New Town, less than two hundred miles away, is Sun Xiangfu next to develop a town, because it can radiate Sun Xiangfu divided more than two hundred miles of animal husbandry area.

Changshi is like this, in the presence of the chief official, he can be a pension official, but when he is a master who loves to toss, he is an all-round deputy.

Eldest Sun Chong was very reluctant, but he was a little curious, the official was really as Sun Xiangfu said, what kind of situation would the world be.

What Sun Xiangfu couldn't imagine was that the eldest Sun Chong jumped into the pit he came up with because of curiosity.

"So, try?"

"Hehe, I'll just say it! There are few people who can have one heart with me in this day, your eldest grandson is counted as one, let's go to the restaurant for dinner, after eating, please go to the bathhouse to do a big health care, and you will go on the road tomorrow. ”

"Do you want to be in such a hurry? I've just arrived in Shanyang! ”

"I told you, Dingxiang City is a mess now! The sooner you go, the sooner you can let the people there live a good life. ”

When I was in Chang'an before, I heard Li Chunfeng say that Sun Xiangfu was a saint seedling, and the eldest Sun Chong thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that it really means something, for Hu people, not only did he not discriminate, but treated it as his own person.

Of course, he didn't know that since Sun Xiangfu was born, this area belonged to a country, and the education he received since he was a child was a family of fifty-six nationalities, and in his eyes, he didn't treat these people as foreigners at all.

What he didn't know was what Sun Xiangfu was talking about, until he was taken off and soaked in a large hot water pool for nearly half an hour, and then, a big man came over to help him rub a lot of mud on his back with a towel, and then he felt that this great health care was a little interesting.

Why is it a man who rubs the bath?

Changsun Chong, who has been accustomed to taking a bath with maids since he was a child, wanted to complain, but the next moment he let out an excited howl, and this male technician almost made the joints of his whole body, especially when he pressed the soles of his feet, that urine! It almost made him keep it for the eldest princess for the first time in nineteen years.
