After Jingwen and Li Shimin discussed the personnel arrangements for the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, they left the palace. This time, the arrangement of the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion can be regarded as a success, and the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion is a chicken rib for many court bigwigs, and they can't go any further, but they will have to suffer there for many years. For young people, it is not a big problem, but they can use this springboard to improve, so that they can get a lot of credit and qualifications. And although Wang Xuance now has the credit for Yi Ding of the Western Turks, this credit is not enough for him to get too many promotions, and it is impossible for him to become a high-ranking official all at once. However, with the experience of the governor of the prefecture this time, he should be able to get a certain promotion after a few years.

Soon, Wang Xuance came to find Jingwen again.

"Director Jingwen!" Wang Xuance said.

Now Jingwen's position is the director of the Political Research Office, which is relatively high, so Wang Xuance also took the initiative to call the director.

"Thanks to Lord Jingwen's help this time, I was able to go to southern Xinjiang to show my skills." Wang Xuance said.

Jing Wen didn't care and said: "Wang Xuance, you went to the Western Turks this time, which can be regarded as a contribution to my Tang Dynasty." And this time the imperial court kicked you to southern Xinjiang, you won't have any resentment about this, right? ”

"No!" Wang Xuance said.

Jingwen immediately said: "This time you went to Guangzhou to form a governor's mansion, and you still have a lot of power. This prefecture can be said to have the power of government, the military power, and even the financial power in the hands of the government. And this time, you have to find a way to develop commerce and attract merchants to come and do business. And this waterway is no less than the Western Regions, so you have to manage it. There are not many conditions that the imperial court can give you, and the financial resources are limited, so it depends on your ability. And, you'll have to build a navy, and it's a navy that can sail the seas. The sea is not as good as the river, and this is not easy. Moreover. You're going to have to find a way to explore the farther south of southern Xinjiang, which is a hot place, and I've only heard about it. It should be all barbaric there, you have to find a way to land on it first, and then you can erect a boundary monument, which can be regarded as the territory of my Datang. ”

"And, if necessary, you can also develop resources overseas. There are a lot of resources overseas, and you can hire local indigenous leaders with some small profits and let them help us mine the resources. Copper ore. Iron ore, anything or something can be shipped back. If the natives are disgraced, then let the army break up a so-called tribe, and take all the young men into slavery, so that they can help us get resources. We just need to have a small number of people as managers. In this way, people in China can see overseas resources, so that more people can join in and develop overseas. When the time comes, once a trend is formed. Then overseas will be ours. ”

Wang Xuance said with some hesitation: "Do you want us to take those people as slaves?" This ......"

After all, Wang Xuance is a person who is deeply educated by tradition, so he naturally does not approve of this kind of thing of taking the enemy people into slavery. But Jingwen is extremely wary of those people in Nanyang. Later generations of Chinese went to pioneer, and as a result, the Chinese worked hard and became rich. Those guys actually wanted to rob the Chinese directly. It's because they're too lazy, so they're not rich. But they actually robbed the Chinese for this, which Jingwen absolutely could not tolerate. Therefore, this time I took advantage of the strength of Datang. You can't let them go lightly. Keeping them slaves is already a very good result.

"You know what? The natives, all of them are extremely cruel. Don't look at them, they may not be cruel outside, but if they meet us Tang Han people. I'm afraid their ferocity will be exposed. So, if you arrest them, you kind of educate them. As for letting them work, it will naturally create value for us and make them industrious. Jingwen said.

"Okay, I will definitely complete the task of the imperial court!" Wang Xuance said.

Jingwen complained in his heart: "One hypocrite, these literati are all hypocrites!" ”

Wang Xuance is also a literati after all, so let's just put this situation in another way. The literati are famous for their teachers, so now that he has a suitable reason, he can accept the situation of treating the natives as slaves with peace of mind.

Wang Xuance's task is not easy, and in a way it can be said that he is responsible for commerce, trade, the sea, the navy, and even diplomacy. And Wang Xuance's rights are also very huge. The administrative, military, and financial powers are all relatively independent, and they are far away in the south, so supervision is somewhat inconvenient. With such a huge power, some people simply can't bear this attraction, and may even become warlords. However, Li Shimin and Jingwen are not afraid, because in this era, the Tang Dynasty has dominated the world and there is no decline, so no warlord can survive, even Jingwen. The formation of warlords is subject to specific historical conditions, and it is not quite appropriate.

"Wang Xuance, when you go to Guangzhou this time, you have to be careful of one person!" Jingwen said.

"Please make it clear!" Wang Xuance said.

Jingwen said: "Dugu Kaiyuan, that is, the other driver of the Assassin's Mansion in Guangzhou." This old boy has a feud with me, so you have to watch out for him. And you are recommended by me, and he will inevitably look for your bad luck. And the more this time, the more careful you have to be, and I'm afraid the emperor won't transfer him away. ”

Wang Xuance still frowned a little, because he didn't expect that there would be someone to restrain him. Anyone who works is most afraid of constraints, and this kind of constraints on the side can be said to be very headaches. I'm afraid that no official likes to have someone to stare at him when he is working, Wang Xuance is a little unhappy. And Wang Xuance is still young now, so he naturally expressed his thoughts, so he obviously looked very unhappy.

"This is the emperor's meaning, and it is also the emperor's mental technique!" Jingwen said.

Wang Xuance sighed, and finally knew why. Because the Guangzhou Governor's Office is too far away from the Central Plains, and it also has independent political power, military power, and financial power, this can almost be said to be an independent kingdom. I am afraid that no one can completely rest assured that such an independent kingdom is in their own country. And Li Shimin also adapted measures to local conditions, although he appointed this Wang Xuance as the governor of the capital, but he also served as the governor of the capital himself. Moreover, a person can be arranged on the spot to restrain this Wang Xuance, so that if he has any bad ideas, he can be cleaned up at any time, so that he cannot become a warlord.
