Chapter 1312: Some People Are Happy and Some Are Sad

Among these three people, Xiang Hanyi has served as the director of the Enterprise Department of the Ministry of Commerce, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, and the current political envoy of Zhejiang.

Jia Wenbai was the first county magistrate of Shanghai's ad hoc county, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, and was just transferred to Guangdong this year to serve as an envoy from Sanpin.

Xiao Fangquan, on the other hand, has served as the chief of the business section of the Hanlin Academy, the prefect of Hangzhou, the political envoy of Zhejiang, and the governor of Fujian.

These three people, judging from the bright side, have different grades, among which Xiao Fangquan was originally the governor of the second grade, if he is transferred to Jiangnan Daoist, this grade will not be promoted but reduced.

Of course, in the Tang Empire, there is also a system of additional titles, and if you want to transfer high-level officials to low-level positions, you will often use the method of adding titles.

If Xiao Fangquan is really capable, Li Xuan thinks that he can, he can operate it, such as adding the title of squire to this person, and then sending him to Jiangnan Province to take up a position, so as to keep this person's second-grade grade, and he can actually serve as a third-grade Jiangnan Daoist position.

The rank system is widely used in the Tang Empire, and there are no special regulations, in most cases, it is to solve the problem of mismatch between grades and positions.

However, there are also restrictions on this kind of title, that is, it can only be a gift, whether it is the official department or the imperial study, there is no authority to operate the title.

In addition to Xiao Fangquan, who is more special, if the other two people are promoted to Jiangnan Daoist, they don't have to be so troublesome, one of them is from the third grade, the other is the third grade, if Jia Wenbai is promoted from the third rank of the inspector to the Jiangnan Daoist, he can be directly promoted to one level, and Xiang Hanyi is even simpler, he is originally the political envoy of the third grade, and he can be directly leveled.

These three people are very different in age and have different grades, but they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are very good at developing economic affairs.

This can be seen from their resumes, Xiang Hanyi and Jia Wenbai are both officials who have been in Shanghai for many years, and even after being transferred out of Shanghai and Songjiang Mansion, the places where they serve are the three coastal areas of Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Fujian.

And these three places, are the development of industry and commerce is relatively good place, Guangdong is second only to Jiangnan Province of the economy, industrial powerhouse, Zhejiang is also the traditional Jiangnan region, relying on tea, raw silk and coastal Ningbo trade port and close to Shanghai, the economic development is quite good, its economic aggregate is already ranked third in the country.

Even Fujian, although there are many people and little land, it is not suitable for the development of agriculture, and the land transportation is not very convenient, and it is not suitable for the development of industry, but it is worth noting that there is tea in this place, and it is coastal.

Tea exports from Fujian accounted for more than 40 percent of the empire's tea exports.

Relying on the export of tea, and then relying on the coastal ports to do port trade, economic development can be regarded as okay.

All three of them are in the above-mentioned areas.

It can also be seen that Li Xuan's purpose in selecting them is very simple, that is, he hopes that they will give full play to their talents in economic development and lead Jiangnan Province to continue to develop industry and commerce.

In fact, Li Xuan had also considered promoting talents from Jiangnan Province before, but the corruption problem in Jiangnan Province was too serious, and basically officials above the fourth grade, except for Chen Lifu, who had no economic problems, everyone else had more or less economic problems.

The prefect of Suzhou has been beheaded by him, and the prefect of Songjiang Mansion is also planning to change one, that person is not greedy for money, but his ability is really lacking, when he was summoned last year, he said one set of things on his mouth, and Li Xuan was bluffed, but a year has passed, the economic development of Songjiang Mansion is still the same, and the only bright spot is the North Shore Industrial Zone, but Li Xuan knows that the North Shore Industrial Zone was made by Shanghai Special County, or it was made by Chen Lifu, and it has nothing to do with the Yamen of the Governor of Songjiang Prefecture.

In the huge Jiangnan Province, in Li Xuan's heart, only Chen Lifu can use the officials above the fourth grade, and the others have to be killed or replaced!

But Chen Lifu's grade is too low, but it's the fourth grade!

Even if Li Xuan had the intention to promote him, but if he wanted to be an important position like a Taoist in Jiangnan Province, he would have to go through a few more years of training, at least he had to upgrade his grade to the third grade, and then stay up for a few years to accumulate prestige and experience from the third grade.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Chen Lifu to serve as a provincial feudal minister.

Not to mention, although the grade of Jiangnan Daoist is low, its importance exceeds that of most provincial governors.

Otherwise, this time Li Xuan would not have brought Xiao Fangquan, the current governor of Fujian from the second grade, over, because Li Xuan planned to mention the grade of Jiangnan Daoist again.

The third grade is still too low, and it is not in line with the important political status of Jiangnan Province at all, so it has to be improved to be better from the second grade, and it is not appropriate to directly upgrade the grade, or to add the title.

Chen Lifu, who was far away in Shanghai, didn't know at all that in the mind of the Son of Heaven, it was also short-lived, well, only a few tenths of a second, he considered whether to let him serve as a Jiangnan Daoist.

If he knew, he would be greatly encouraged!

It's a pity that he doesn't know that Chen Lifu is also living in fear in Shanghai today, although he has a clear conscience, but who cares whether you are really guilty or not guilty in the officialdom, political struggles don't care about these.

If he is unlucky, it is not impossible for Chen Lifu to be dragged into the water by this political turmoil!

Unlike Chen Lifu, who was scared, Xiang Hanyi and the other three were high-spirited!

In this anti-corruption turmoil, the three of them were also a little worried at first, but when they received the holy decree from the Son of Heaven, they were asked to return to Beijing to report on their work on the same day, and the secretary of the Hanlin Academy, who also came to announce the decree, did not shy away from saying that they were candidates for the new Jiangnan Provincial Daoist, and this time they returned to Beijing to report on their work, which was an interview.

In the face of such an opportunity, none of them dared to take it lightly.

Gangnam Provincial Daoist!

If you serve a full term in this position, as long as you are not as stupid as Huo Shouqi, who only cares about economic development and allows other political risks, after this term, you will properly enter the cabinet!

This is better than serving as a governor in other provinces, at least in the heart of Xiao Fang, the current governor of Fujian, the importance of Jiangnan Daoist is more than that of the governor of Fujian.

According to the normal way, if he does a good job as the governor of Fujian, then after the expiration of his term, it is estimated that he will be transferred to other provinces to continue to serve as the governor, and if he is still excellent, then he will be expected to be transferred back to the central government as a waiter, and the probability is only the right waiter.

And when it comes to the right waiter, this is basically the focus of his career.

But if you can do well in the position of Jiangnan Daoist, then there is a high probability that you will be able to enter the cabinet directly, and it is basically possible for Zuo Shilang to start and finally become a book.

In the face of such an opportunity, even if it is a high-ranking official like Xiao Fangquan, he wants to seize it.

After receiving the holy decree, these three people immediately rushed towards Jinling City without stopping, and when they were on the way, they all began to study their own policies.

It is not a report on the current work, but a policy after serving as a member of Gangnam Province.

Because since they can be summoned by the Son of Heaven, then it must be an affirmation of their existing work, and in the future, they can only compete for the best in how to govern Jiangnan Province.

As long as you can impress the Son of Heaven, then you will have the opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step.

These three people also knew that they had other competitors, and in order to rush back to Jinling City as soon as possible and prevent others from impressing the Holy Son of Heaven in advance, they were all quick to whip up.

Xiao Fangquan and Jia Wenbai both chose to take the Navy's fast traffic ship, first rushed back to Wusong Naval Base by sea, and then transferred to the inland river fast transportation ship of the Post Division, and returned to Jinling City through the Yangtze River.

As for Xiang Hanyi, who served in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, he was even more simply, he took a carriage directly and rushed all the way from the official road to Jinling City.

Because after years of expansion and renovation, coupled with the official road from Hangzhou to Jinling, it is also one of the key official roads in the south of the Yangtze River, the road is smooth and wide, he frequently changed carriages on the road, endured the bumps along the way, and finally rushed to the others to return to Jinling City first.

When he heard that Jia Wenbai and Xiao Fangquan, the two competitors, had not yet returned to Jinling City, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to make the final revisions to his debriefing report.

He needs to come up with a complete policy outline to impress the Son of Heaven and preemptively leave a good impression in the mind of the Son of Heaven.

Just when Xiang Hanyi, Jia Wenbai, and Xiao Fangquan were competing for the position of Jiangnan Daoist, the anti-corruption storm affecting the whole country was still blowing.

There are already more than 10 inspection teams sent by the Inspectorate, going to various provincial highways to urge the local Inspectorate to carry out anti-corruption operations.

In order to ensure that the large-scale anti-corruption campaign will not cause political turmoil and paralyze the operation of various institutions, when arresting corrupt officials, the officials have also begun to inspect and promote a large number of officials!

While arresting people, while promoting newcomers, this is the big stick prepared by Li Xuan, and the big killer of radish in the other!

If only arrests are made, but there is no corresponding promotion, then this anti-corruption storm will actually not be able to continue, because it is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of all officials.

But now, some people are unlucky, and some people are promoted, which is a direct differentiation of hundreds of officials, and how many people are unlucky, because of how many people benefit from it.

Huo Shouqi was unlucky, but Xiao Fangquan and the three of them got a chance to be promoted because of this!

In fact, many ambitious officials hope to gain huge benefits in this anti-corruption storm.

There are many unlucky people, and there are just as many officials who profit from this.
