A ridge of fields, three points of land, the field is planted with a little fresh vegetables, this spring when it arrives, it is the time to work in the field, although as a governor in the governor's office, but for Li Ziyuan, as long as there is time, he still likes to enjoy the field life in this small vegetable garden. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As in the past, when he was tidying up the vegetable garden in the garden and thinking about what to plant, a servant came in and said softly to Li Ziyuan:

"Sir, there is a visitor."

Then he handed over the name thorn in his hand.

took the famous thorn and glanced at it, Li Ziyuan's heart felt a little surprised.

It was no one else who came to visit him, but Lin Zhiping, seeing Lin Zhiping handing over the famous thorn so solemnly, Li Ziyuan was curious about his intention.

"Yuda, what wind blew you here?"

As soon as Lin Zhiping entered the courtyard, Li Ziyuan came out of the vegetable garden and greeted him loudly.

"Zilin, you are so elegant, you have cleaned up the vegetable garden here."

Lin Zhiping smiled and looked at Li Ziyuan, who was stained with a little mud.

"Coming from the city, of course it's the north wind blowing!"

North wind!

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, although it is just two simple words, Li Ziyuan immediately faintly guessed his intention, so he smiled.

"I don't think it's the north wind, I'm afraid it's the south wind."

Li Ziyuan, who had already walked in front of Lin Zhiping, took the towel from the servant's hand, wiped the dust on his hands, and changed into a pair of clean shoes.

Lin Zhiping was stunned for a moment, and soon came back to his senses and said:

"You know I'm here for Cantonese business?"

Really!

"Hehe, if you don't do it for it, can you do anything else?"

"Really shrewd."

Saying this in his heart, Lin Zhiping laughed twice.

"Let's not talk about that, please sit in the room!"

Now that he already knew the other party's intentions, Li Ziyuan invited him into the house, wearing a coarse cloth coat, he looked no different from the old farmer in the countryside, and the little mud spots on his pants made him even more angry.

When the servant served tea and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Lin Zhiping asked.

"Zilin, what do you think about Guangdong?"

"What do you want?"

Li Ziyuan asked knowingly.

"Who is the governor of Guangdong?"

Lin Zhiping stared at Li Ziyuan's chubby face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling and said.

Guangdong is the newly restored province of Fuzhong, although Guangdong is still under the authority of Ye Mingchen, but after the end of the transition period, Fuzhong will naturally appoint another governor of Guangdong, and as for the governor of Liangguang, he will naturally be transferred to the governor's office. Now that the Governor's Office is in charge of a total of three provinces, the position of Governor of Guangdong is naturally hot.

"Doesn't this ultimately depend on the decision of the military government?"

Accustomed to lighting a bag of cigarettes, Li Ziyuan said casually that the affairs of the government are often decided by the military office. The reason why he said this was because he knew that Lin Zhiping obviously had a plan to come to him.

I saw Lin Zhiping pick up the teacup, first took a sip, as if he was tasting the taste of the tea, and said slowly after a while:

"Joining the military mansion, well, now that the talents in the mansion are out of Huguang, I'm afraid that Han Du has no intention of being recommended by the army!"

The lake is wide and powerful!

A puff of smoke came out of his nose, Li Ziyuan looked at Lin Zhiping, and secretly sighed in his heart that this person was shrewd.

As we all know, due to geographical restrictions, the officials in the governor's palace are all out of Huguang, and it is precisely because Huguang is dominant that the Han governor will join the military palace and leave the military commission, Zhang Liangji and Luo Bingzhang, one of them is from Jiangsu and the other is from Guangdong. But despite this, both of them are from Huguang.

Under the dominance of Huguang, Li Ziyuan, who was the earliest "Conglong", seemed a little different, he was different from Xi Zhimo and other compradors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was a scholar, but he was a native of Guizhou, and he could be said to be a lonely man in this governor's mansion.

Although Lin Zhiping is a native of Hubei, and has been a dragon in Huangzhou, his reputation is far less than that of Hu Linyi and Zuo Zongtang, and more importantly, the two of them are from Hunan.

In contrast, Lin Zhiping ********, and now Lin Zhiping is looking for him, could it be ...... No, he definitely didn't want to be the governor of Guangdong, and even when Huguang was dominant, he would never dare to mention this important position!

So he ...... now? And what does that mean?

"Oh, then in Yuda's opinion, who will Han Du entrust?"

"It doesn't matter who the Han Governor is, what matters is ......"

Putting down the teacup and staring at Li Ziyuan, Lin Zhiping asked rhetorically.

"Zilin, do you want this governor?"

"Me!"

His eyes widened in surprise, although Lin Zhiping only mentioned it, it made Li Ziyuan's whole heart suddenly move.

Don't want to?

That's a lie!

What is the official position of the governor of Guangdong?

That is the parent of a province, today the Han governor is only three provinces, the governor is only two, Hubei is directly under the governor's office, and Guangdong is an extremely rich province, not to mention anything else, just after Ye Mingchen returned to Shun, the silver taels sealed in the treasury were only 1.8 million taels, and the rich merchants of Guangdong also donated as many as 2 million taels of military supplies.

Moreover, Guangdong will still be an important trade place of the Governor's Office in the future, so how prominent will the post of Governor of Guangdong be? If you say that you are not impressed, it is false, but before that, Li Ziyuan really didn't think about it.

"That's right, it's dude!"

Lin Zhiping picked up the teacup and stopped talking, the reason why he made such a proposal, in his heart, was to help each other, he couldn't watch Huguang be controlled by the Hunan people, in the past few months, in addition to trying his best to ensure that the people he recommended at the beginning continued to be in the prominent position, he was also looking for help, and in the end, Li Ziyuan, who was weak, became the best choice.

Li Ziyuan may be weak, but he is the elder of the palace, and he is very close to Xi Zhimo and other "Westernists".

"This ...... I don't have any experience hosting places! ”

Li Ziyuan said this, which undoubtedly showed that he was already a little moved,

"Does Zuo Zongtang have any experience in presiding over the locality?"

No, he Zuo Zongtang is not just on the rise, from a white height to the position of governor of Hunan.

"Zuo Jigao said that he has been bright for a long time, how can I compare with Li Ziyuan, it's not proper, it's inappropriate!"

Although it seems that his proposal was rejected, Lin Zhiping has already figured out the other party's thoughts, Li Ziyuan does not refuse to put it outside, he is looking at the price code, to be precise, he wants to see his own offer.

"How is it not appropriate, after Zilin goes to Guangdong, this local virtuous person in Guangdong, I hope that Zilin will recommend more, so as to solve the embarrassment of talents in the house, recruit talents for my Han Governor, and collect the hearts of the people of Guangdong for my Han Governor!"

Well, for Lin Zhiping, who is the head of the ministry, this is the biggest and most powerful bargaining chip he can give - the right to employ people! In these words, he gave Li Ziyuan all the right to employ people in Guangdong.

Even Li Ziyuan's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Lin Zhiping's concession. This puts all the power of employment in the locality, but it is something that has never been done in the past. Although the government has always been lenient in the employment of local personnel, it is the first time that such a bold "decentralization of power" has openly bribed people with public power.

"This, I'm afraid this is so inappropriate!"

Li Ziyuan stared at Lin Zhiping, wanting to see if this was from his heart.

"Well, look at what the old man said, what's wrong? Guangdong is far away from the mountains and roads, and the language is not incomprehensible to our mainland, if it can't be used to help the local elites in Guangdong, how can our governor's office be able to accept Guangdong as its use? Besides, in terms of employing people, the officials still have to discuss with the local government, do you say yes? ”

After Lin Zhiping offered his price, Li Ziyuan said that he did not directly agree, but he took the initiative to invite him to stay for dinner, the chicken is naturally his own reed rooster, as for the vegetable is also a new fresh vegetable in the garden, Li Ziyuan is a pity for the three-point vegetable garden during the banquet.

There is a lot of regret between the words that he can't take care of it in the future, and Li Ziyuan is undoubtedly telling Lin Zhiping in this way, he agreed, after getting this answer, in a good mood, Lin Zhiping naturally drank a little more than before, and left the house a little drunk.

Standing in front of the door, looking at the Western-style carriage in the distance, the smile on Li Ziyuan's face slowly disappeared, and from Lin Zhiping's actions today, he has already sensed that the mansion that seems to be calm now is setting off a new wave.

Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, well, and foreign affairs, now there are people in these places in this house, and the people in these places naturally help each other because of the region, and form several groups. Now Lin Zhiping's actions are obviously in exchange for his own support, using the position of governor of Guangdong, his bargaining chips are really big enough!

If it was before, Li Ziyuan would definitely not have to give up the position of the governor of the governor's mansion, but now, with the increasing role of the military government, Li Ziyuan does not mind being unexpectedly released as an official, and more importantly, in this governor's mansion, he Li Ziyuan has no other basis except for a "dragon veteran", after all, Guizhou is a southwesterly region, which can be said to be a culture and education that is not prosperous, even if there are occasional villagers who defect to him, his talent is also average, far inferior to the two lakes, Jiangsu and other places. Naturally, they did not form their own faction like them.

This made Li Ziyuan seem detached in the governor's mansion, but the helplessness behind this detachment is only known to him, not that he doesn't want to appoint a private person, but that he has no one to use!

"It's not a bad idea to leave the Governor's Mansion now!"

Thinking about it like this, Li Ziyuan made up his mind to release it. Thinking of a few big things in the house, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop!" (To be continued.) )
