Chapter 673 Multiple Choice Questions

There was a lot of noise inside and outside the court about the division of Nanzhili, but the initiator Chen Xie quietly left the Beijing Division. Frankly speaking, Jingshi's Qiē Chen Xie doesn't like it, and there is a strong stale atmosphere here.

Nanzhili is divided into two, these are two provinces, and the extra province is an extra group of provincial officials and positions, and the Ming officialdom is fighting for these positions. As for how to divide it in the end, everyone is still arguing, and whoever wants to say that it will not be divided, it must be a public enemy. On the day he left Jingshi, Chen Xie also added a handful of words, which made Gu Jikun take a turn, since Nanzhili wants to divide, Huguang should also be divided. If a province is too large, it will be difficult to manage. Especially in the stage of implementing the New Deal, there is a greater need to improve efficiency.

Okay, Nanzhili hasn't been divided yet, and there is another Huguang, this is Hunan and Hubei, continue to make trouble.

Chen Xie left, and the court continued to make trouble, of course, those who stood up to make trouble were some low-grade officials, the real bigwigs, who were discussing in the back, sitting in rows, and compromising. The only consensus is that the Jiangnan area should not be worried.

followed Chen Xie to the south, as well as Chen Xie's staff team. This time they went south, and they all carried the paperwork in their pockets and went south to take office. Under Chen Xie's operation, Xia Yunyi got a position as the county magistrate of Huating and replaced Yang Longyou. Xu Fuyuan is also a county order, but in Suzhou Prefecture. Chen Xie also brought two documents, one was Ruan Dacheng's Jiangsu political secretary, and the other was Yang Longyou's Songjiang prefect. As for the governor of Jiangnan, that is, the candidate for the governor of Jiangsu in the future, Chen Xie has not thought about it for the time being, and this will have to be seen. Anyway, the matter of dividing the province has not yet been decided, so let's see if there are enough officials to take refuge.

Then down to the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Xie first arrived in Tianjin to attend the opening ceremony of the Tianjin-Yu Railway. To celebrate the opening of the railway. The railway company held a grand ceremony, and the construction of a railway in Liaodong and the construction of a railway in Kannai are completely two different concepts. Liaodong is the territory that Chen Xie has beaten down, and it is still in a state of semi-military management, so you can toss it casually. Kannai is different, you can't do whatever you want. The opening of the railway meant that the court had accepted such a new thing.

Although the current steam locomotive is still super ugly. The load is also limited, but when the whistle blows for a long time, slowly goes out to fight, and gallops on the railway, an era is unstoppable. The benefits of this thing can be seen by anyone. Even if there were old stubborn people in the court who wanted to oppose it, it would not be able to change the fact that the railway existed. When the time comes, Chen Xie will not need to make a move, and the emperor and the cabinet will have to clean up the opponents. Especially Zhu Cihong, he talked to Chen Xie. Build a railway to connect Beijing and Tianjin, Chen Xie contributed money and efforts to operate, the imperial court was in charge of collecting taxes, and Zhu Cihong still had a percent of the cadre shares. And this example will become a common practice in the future, as long as it is Chen Xie's railway, Zhu Cihong will support it wherever he wants to repair it, and the only requirement is a dry share. The emperors of the Zhu family are all money fans. This is a nature that cannot be changed.

The imperial court did not object, because there were taxes. The tax revenue of the Liaodong Railway is 200,000 silver yuan a year, once every six months, and it is never less. Then you can fix it, and you can't stop it anyway. The construction of the Liaodong Railway is for Chen Xie. One of my favorite takeaways is a strong engineering team. At present, he does not have the ability to build steel bridges, but he has mastered the technique of pouring concrete piers, and the general river flow is enough in this era. Don't think about the Yangtze River Bridge, don't mention this matter without more than 100 years of accumulation.

John Tang, a European devil, is becoming more and more enlightened. Speaking fluent Nanjing Mandarin, he looked at the train in the distance, and said excitedly to Chen Xie: "Lord Chen, there is still a month at the latest, and our new locomotive will be able to test the run." ”

Chen Xie's attitude towards these technicians was very good, and when he heard him say this, he immediately asked, "Is there a specific number?" ”

"Theoretically, the power of the new locomotive is more than twice as large as the current one, and it can even reach three times. There is still a long way to go to meet the requirements of adults, and the key is the accumulation of technicians. ”

Chen Xie nodded with satisfaction and said: "Take your time, you are also an official of the imperial court now, and you have worked hard in Liaodong, while participating in the design and production of locomotives, you also have to teach students." ”

"It's not hard, I'm willing to be with young people, I'm very happy in Daming, the only regret is that I haven't been home for a long time. I heard that Germany is now divided, and although the war in Europe has stopped, Germany has become the only loser. Tang Ruowang sighed and said this.

Chen Xie's heart tightened, and he said quietly: "What, do you want to go back to Europe?" Tang Ruowang shook his head: "I don't want to go back, although the war in that place has subsided, it is still a poor country compared to Daming." Whether this is true or not, Chen Xie doesn't know, but this old guy used to be a pious base/governor, and he came to Daming to preach.

Obviously, the missionary career in Daming was quite a failure, and even if Chen Xie did not restrict him, he did not develop a few followers. This is due to cultural differences in living standards, especially in the eastern part of Liaodong, where everyone who immigrated to the past had land, and it was difficult to develop a base/disciple. The only ones who can develop are the North Koreans and Japanese who work in factories. Why? Life is difficult, there is no hope, and this is what requires faith. People who have a good life and are not allowed to ask for it, in Daming, they either believe in Buddhism or Taoism, who believes in foreign religions. John Tong took all his savings, built a church in Shenyang, and developed hundreds of Japanese and Korean believers.

In fact, even if he wanted to leave, Chen Xie would not let it go, this product has too many skills, and letting him go is irresponsible to Daming. Anyway, in this life, he is ready to die in Daming. If you want to develop a disciple, you can, you want a woman, you can, you want money, you want to give, just don't worry about leaving, the shadow is staring at him all the time.

Of course, railways are a complex system, not only for trains and locomotives, but also for railway and bridge technology. There is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, what is lacking is a completed system. Chen Xie's work has one of the strictest requirements, that is, the accumulation of technology, and every detail must be recorded. There must not be a thing where someone dies and the craft is lost.

Historically, the Qin Dynasty has realized the standardized production of bronzes, and in the past two thousand years, how many skills have disappeared in historical occasions? Of course, there are reasons for not being taken seriously, and the main reason is that it is not systematic. Chen Xie started from Denglai and went through Liaodong, and twenty years have passed before he has accumulated such a little technology, which shows how difficult it is to be industrial.

Huating, when the huge warship docked on the dock, the officials waiting on the dock were one by one. Chen Xie has been here before, but he has never seen such a big battle. As soon as I got off the boat, I saw an acquaintance coming out of the crowd, Han Zanzhou, holding the holy decree and saying in a sharp voice: "There is a holy decree." There was a big uproar, a large area knelt on the dock, Chen Xie was helplessly ready to kneel, Han Zanzhou hurriedly mended the knife: "Your Majesty said, Lord Chen doesn't need to kneel, just look at the will." ”

Chen Xie stretched out his hand at this time, and looked at the holy decree very rudely, it is nothing more than the beginning of the edict of Fengtian to carry the emperor, which means that Nanzhili was canceled, and the capital of Nanjing was retained, which was divided into Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, and the specific division was as follows, the official configuration, Chen Xie, the former governor of Jiangnan, recommended the officials of a provincial agency in Jiangsu, and submitted them to the Ministry of Officials for review.

After a few days of delay in Tianjin, and ten days of drifting on the sea, this is half a month, deducting at least 7 days of fast horse travel, that is to say, after Chen Xie left the Beijing Division, the cabinet and the six ministries couldn't wait to complete the partition. Well, the appearance is not too ugly, and it can even be said to be generous, and the whole of Jiangsu was lost to Chen Xie. This is not the style of those guys in the imperial court, a group of goods that can find bones in eggs for profit, Chen Xie knows it too well.

didn't care about other people's faces, Chen Xie pulled Han Zan aside and asked in a low voice, "Huguang is also divided?" Han Zanzhou nodded, Chen Xie then understood, no wonder he was so generous. The so-called Jiangsu Province, in fact, what he can move is a provincial-level organization, and the other state capitals are all ready-made officials, and in principle, they are still the work of the ministry.

Han Zanzhou saw that Chen Xie was pondering, and whispered again: "Long live the lord asked the slave maid to ask the cabinet department, and Li Yuzhi, the secretary of the ministry, played a play, and asked His Majesty Xià to convene a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss whether the position of governor can be customized." ”

Chen Xie bared his teeth and smiled, just thinking that these guys were not too ugly, but he didn't expect there to be such a show. What does that mean? The governor of the Ming Dynasty is a temporary position, and now that these guys are proposing the governor as a permanent position, then the problem arises. Master Chen, which governor should you concurrently serve as a cabinet minister?

Han Zanzhou really took out a piece of paper, Chen Xie was quite surprised when he glanced at it, history is really an amazing coincidence. This governor is divided according to the region, and there are two governors of Zhili, one governor of Zhili, one governor of Shandong, one governor of Liaodong, one governor of Huguang, and one governor ......of Liangjiang. This division has a surprising coincidence with the governor of the Qing Dynasty, which is not surprising at all, and it is normal to divide according to geography.

In this way, Chen Xie's current territory of the three provinces must give up two of them, no matter how you divide them, it is useless.

"What does 陛xià mean?" Chen Xie asked quietly, and Han Zanzhou smiled: "Long live the meaning of the lord, I just want to ask the pavilion what the lord means?" Long live Lord also said that it will be difficult for him to do this time when the cabinet leaves. ”

Chen Xie thought for a while and said: "This matter has to be decided by His Majesty, if I have to choose a governor to concurrently serve, it is the governor of Liaodong." Chen Xie gave an answer, a flash of surprise flashed on Han Zanzhou's face, he didn't say much, and arched his hand: "The slave and maid have written it down, and the reception ceremony of the cabinet has been delayed, and the slave and maid are not compensated here."
