Chapter 379: Look to the Southeast

In the face of Song Yuren's grant, it is already a matter of course for an old minister of the Three Dynasties like Xu Hongqian. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but for Shan Futian, this is his first time.

Shan Futian couldn't help but be a little flattered. Zhan Zhan wanted to resign, but Song Yuren resolutely did not allow it, he had to sit down with Shan Futian, Shan Futian did not dare to disobey Song Yuren's words, so he could only sit down honestly and obediently.

After sitting down, Shan Futian didn't dare to sit on the embroidery pier with his whole buttocks, but half of his buttocks were slightly attached to the embroidery pier. It looks like it's sitting.

"Shan Aiqing, I summoned you here to ask Shan Aiqing about the situation in your southeast sea frontier." Song Yuren got straight to the point and said directly, "Among the ministers of the dynasty, only Shan Aiqing knows the most about the Southeast Sea Frontier, and Shan Aiqing will now talk to me about the situation in the Southeast Sea Frontier." ”

"The ministers who know the most dare not be, there are many people in the court who are clear about the affairs of the southeast sea frontier, and the ministers dare not pretend to know best, and the ministers can only be said to know a little bit about it." Shan Futian said modestly, it is better to be modest in front of the king, otherwise it will obviously be suspected of showing off his merits.

"I don't know what the emperor wants to know about the Southeast China Sea Frontier? The minister knows everything and says everything. Shan Futian said.

"The matter of the pirates and the pirates!" Song Yuren said directly, "I want to know, if I entrust the affairs of the Southeast Sea Frontier to Shan Aiqing, how long will Shan Aiqing be able to be sure of pacifying the Haikou and Japanese Invaders in the Southeast Sea Frontier?" ”

Of course, Song Yuren is most concerned about the affairs of the Haikou and the Japanese in the Southeast China Sea Frontier, as for other things. Song Yuren was not very concerned, because once the Haikou and Japanese pirates were quelled, the southeast region would be able to reopen the sea ban and resume trade with foreign regions. The resumption of trade with foreign regions will allow a steady stream of commercial tax revenues to flow into the state treasury every year, which will ease the financial revenue of the imperial court and eliminate the need for additional taxes.

This is the reason why Song Yuren strongly supported the trade in the southeast region back then. What Song Yuren valued was the financial contribution of the southeast region to the imperial court.

"What does the emperor mean is that after the minister returns to Jinling, he can be fully responsible for the suppression of the sea bandits in the southeast sea frontier and the suppression of the Japanese invaders? Don't be restrained by Xia Zhenxian and Governor Xia? Hearing Song Yuren's words and entrust him with the affairs of the Southeast Sea Frontier to Shan Futian, Shan Futian's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Although the Shangshu of the Military Department of Jinling City is said to be a place known as a retirement home for imperial officials, there are a number of powerful officials in Jinling City. However, the power of the Shangshu of the Jinling City Military Department is not absolutely great in Jinling City.

Under normal circumstances, in Jinling City and the entire Jiangnan region, the most powerful is the governor of Nanzhili, the feudal official. The Governor of Nanzhili was one of the most important governors of the empire since the founding of the country. This status has never changed. I don't want a governor elsewhere to be in an important position for a particular reason at a particular time.

The governor of Nanzhili has always been an important position, and the governor of Nanzhili even once had the minister of the first governor of Dazhao. The reason for this is self-evident, except that Nanzhili was the old capital of the Great Zhao Empire and is now the southern capital of the Great Zhao Empire. The most important point is that the Nanzhili region was the most important tax collection place in the Great Zhao Empire.

The power of the province in the south was directly subordinate, and its tax revenue accounted for nearly one-third of the Great Zhao Empire. You can see how rich it is!

The Governor of Nanzhili is actually the most powerful official position in Nanzhili and even the entire Jiangnan region. Even the Shangshu of the Jinling City Military Department, one of the few officials with real power in Jinling City, was subject to the governor of Nanzhili.

Previously, Song Yuren's order to pacify the Japanese and Haikou in the southeast sea had just come down, and Song Yuren did not hand over the main person in charge of this matter to Shan Futian, but handed over this matter to Xia Zhenxian, the governor of Nanzhili, to be responsible for the main supervision, which is the embodiment of this.

Shan Futian was finally able to become the main person in charge of the actual southeast region to exterminate the Haikou and the Japanese Invaders, and the reason was that Xia Zhenxian's supervision was unfavorable. Shan Futian began to clean up the water camp in Jinling City.

That is to say, if Xia Zhenxian only had to be a little more competitive at that time, not to mention that the affairs of the Southeast China Sea Frontier were handled well, as long as they were done so-so. There is no chance for Shan Futian to come out. Shan Futian was pushed out by Xia Zhenxian as a cleaner when Xia Zhenxian messed up in the matter of supervising the southeast region to exterminate the sea pirates.

Fortunately, Shan Futian finally came forward to clean up the mess with a conscientious mentality and did not perfunctory, which led to some of the achievements made by Shan Futian later. Shan Futian's achievements today are actually due to the inaction of Xia Zhenxian, the governor of Nanzhili. Without the inaction of Xia Zhenxian, the governor of Nanzhili, there would be no Shan Futian today.

Xia Zhenxian, the governor of Nanzhili, was an important member of the Zhejiang Party, although Xia Zhenxian's ability was mediocre, but because of Xia Zhenxian's official position. Xia Zhenxian has a pivotal position in the Zhejiang party.

Unlike Xia Zhenxian, Shan Futian pursues the principle of non-party, and has always been non-party and non-factional, so it can be said that Shan Futian can get to today's position all by virtue of his own ability, no one has opened the way for him, let alone taken shortcuts.

Due to the fact that Shan Futian had no party and no faction, he was in a series of battles such as the purging of the water camp in Jinling City and the later supervision and extermination of the water bandits, sea bandits, and Japanese bandits. With the brilliant results achieved by Shan Futian, Xia Zhenxian gradually had the idea of attracting Shan Futian to join the Zhejiang Party.

In the face of Xia Zhenxian's wooing, Shan Futian certainly will not change his principles, and Shan Futian does not want to get involved in the quagmire of party disputes. Xia Zhenxian knew very well that once he fell in, he would not be able to escape with his whole body.

At that time, they will have to become grasshoppers on a rope with the Zhejiang Party, and they will both prosper and lose. Doing things can also be very constrained by party affiliation.

Shan Futian politely rejected Xia Zhenxian's kind invitation. The taste of rejection is always unpleasant. Especially those in high positions are rejected.

Xia Zhenxian failed to win over Shan Futian, and since then he has had a grudge against Shan Futian. Xia Zhenxian began to take advantage of the convenience of his position to start making things difficult for Shan Futian, and he couldn't get along with Shan Futian in Jinling City. Give Shan Fukuda a stumbling block in the open and secretly.

Therefore, when Song Yuren talked about entrusting the affairs of the Southeast China Sea to Shan Futian to supervise, Shan Futian was so excited. Shan Futian really needs this power so much.

"That's probably what it means, Shan Aiqing's opinion, if you give you full authority to supervise and suppress the pirates and pirates in the southeast sea frontier, how long will it take to completely wipe them out?" Song Yuren added the word thorough to the point of emphasis.

"One of the most striking characteristics of both the pirates and the pirates is that they are erratic, and the most troublesome problem for the ministers and the pirates in the southeast sea for more than a year is this problem: the whereabouts of the pirates are erratic." Shan Futian said, "Therefore, it is easy to defeat the Japanese in return, but to completely annihilate the Japanese is actually very difficult and difficult to achieve." (To be continued.) )
