Chapter 133 IV Appointment of the Governor of Baslates
The reason why Li Tianhao's appointment of the governor of Basradis has become almost the only event that attracts attention in 813 is not only that he has almost no achievements during the year on the surface, but also because Li Tianhao has come up with a so-called election for this personnel appointment. At first www.biquge.info, many historians thought that this incident was only a later interpretation, because the official history only touched on this incident and did not leave enough evidence, until the cause and effect of this incident were recorded in his life and deeds unearthed from the tomb of Eglius, so that everyone was convinced that this was a historical event that really happened at that time.
The decision to be Alufa, which had already been set up, was questioned by Wei Song, and in the end, Li Tianhao caused this farce incident because of the situation.
Since Li Tianhao's candidacy for governor of Baslarates was limited to high-ranking officials and generals in Palci, the number of people who could run was very limited from the outset. First, Weisson, Gerners, and Brooks were left out. These three men were the chancellors, the chief generals, and the ministers of war, respectively, and it was evident that they could not give up their busy affairs and positions to become a local governor; Second, civil servants such as Minister of Industry Bodeka, Minister of Civil Affairs Lisius and Minister of Finance Shevuda were also excluded. This is not only because none of these three men have the ability to lead troops into battle, but also because these three people are indispensable for the huge political machine of Palch to function properly; Third, there are many high-ranking generals who are not suitable for election. There are many talents in the Palchi army, but not everyone has the ability to deal with administrative affairs, such as Agobar, Wod and others are complete warriors, and it is impossible for them to sit down and engage in politics. Even Li Tianhao's precious apprentice Alam openly said that he would only fight, fight and quarrel, and he was not good at anything else. His speech almost turned into a duel before the Senas sarcas, "Aren't you still very good at picking up girls", so much so that many people forgot about his speech. But as Mueller expressed his reluctance to leave Li Tianhao's speech, many generals voluntarily withdrew from the race
After being screened, the only people who were able to participate in the election were Arufa, Saudin, Senas, Eglius, Elda, Tatar and Hector - Arina. The Marquise de Lorraine was disqualified because she was not present, while Tia and Elaine voluntarily withdrew from the election because of their husbands.
Of the remaining seven, Hector and Eglius were known for their integrity and nobility; Elda's ability to handle affairs is unquestionable; Tatar is the most evenly matched in all respects, and his relationships are the best in the Palci army; Senas, on the other hand, possessed a sharp mind and judgment that were completely inconspicuous on the surface; Saudin is the most politically sensitive. But all six of them have their own disadvantages: Hector and Eglius are too rigid in their handling of affairs and do not know how to be flexible; Elda not only had to preside over naval affairs, but also remembered the affairs of the Li family's merchant group, so he was subjectively not happy to accept this appointment; Senas's reputation is worrying; Saudin lacks prestige in the army, and only Tatar has no shortcomings, but he is slightly inferior to Arufa in terms of overall consideration. Therefore, the person with the greatest advantage in this election is Arufa, which everyone has seen after the first round of screening.
As a result, Elda was the first to withdraw from the race, citing his busy schedule.
Senas touched his red beard and said that he could accept the appointment if he could be rewarded for his achievements as governor. As a result, his statement directly ruined his candidacy, and he lost the first round of voting by the lowest number of votes, and in this round the highest number of votes was Arufa, and the other four were almost evenly matched.
After the first round of voting, it became clear to Arufa that the situation had turned in his favor: for it was evident that Eglius and Hector were not very enthusiastic about the position of governor, and that they were clearly dispensable to it; Saudin was still a little in the Palchi army, and it can be inferred that almost all of his votes were cast by those who followed Li Tianhao to sweep the Arubanian coast, so he was not a threat, and his real opponent was only Tatar.
At that moment, Arufa stood up and said aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen, stand up and run for the post of governor. Compared with all the adults here, Zai Xia is just a junior, and he can't be compared with you in terms of qualifications and abilities, and I am really ashamed in my heart. But the reason why Xia is still standing here is not because he is shameless, but because he wants to fulfill his father's long-cherished wish. My father had a long-cherished wish to reform Arubania politics and put it back on the road to prosperity and strength, freeing Arubania from decades of war. For this reason, the late father once spared no effort to formulate a set of implementation plans, but it is a pity that the late father passed away before he could realize his political ambitions, and he often hated it in the future. To be honest, he did not have the foresight of his father, but he was fortunate enough to see the efficiency and superiority of Palci's New Deal, and what made him even happier was that when he read the political proposals left by his father, he found that many of them coincided with Palci's New Deal. Therefore, he thought that the implementation of Parci's new policy would be equivalent to the realization of his father's long-cherished wish, and if he could fulfill his father's long-cherished wish by himself, it would be even more desirable. Therefore, I would like to ask you to vote for me, and I implore you to govern this area and set an example for all parts of Arubania whether or not you can serve as the governor of this region, and only if the experiment here is successful, can you truly lead the people of Arubania to prosperity and strength! ”
After Arufa's words were finished, the crowd was silent for a long time. Finally, Saudin suddenly stood up and said, "Lord Arufa has a big heart, just like you!" Since it is also a long-cherished wish to put Arubania on the road to prosperity and strength, why should you and I compete with each other? It's time to support each other! If His Royal Highness the Prince agrees, Lord Arufa will not dislike being a shallow learner, and will be willing to fully support Lord Arufa to jointly manage Basradia! ”
Saudin's words almost became Arufa's election speech. Because of his voluntary withdrawal and support, the only possible threat to Arufa was the defeat of Tatar, who became the desired governor of Basarady.
Of course, Li Tianhao was also very happy with this result, after all, he wanted to appoint Arufa from the beginning. As a result, a region in the territory of Palchi was established exclusively under the rule of the governor of Arufa, and Li Tianhao also appointed Saudin as Arufa's deputy, and also brought the two generals of the Cheka and Martis under the command of Arufa to help him govern the area together.
Not long after this appointment, Li Tianhao and Queen Alfrit set off and returned to Arisander.
