Chapter 393: Choice

In the Han Empire, there was an official position between the central appointment and the hereditary local leader, and this official position was the overseer.

In order to facilitate the management of ethnic minorities and tribes in the border areas, eliminate hidden dangers in the border, and strengthen the authority of the Han Empire, the Han Empire set up the official position of supervision in many border areas.

At the very beginning, the official position of the superintendent was completely appointed by the central government of the Han Empire, and there was no hereditary, but in later practice, this official position gradually evolved into a hereditary system with the color of local leadership, and the son of the superintendent continued to be the superintendent, and then as long as the symbolic consent of the central government of the Han Empire was obtained, and the central government of the Han Empire, in order to stabilize the border areas, acquiesced to the hereditary position that had been formed for a long time.

In Yan Liqiang's cognitive and intellectual structure in his previous life, the closest to the official position of supervising is the governor of the colony, but the supervising directly commands the army, and the military power is greater than the governors of many national colonies that Yan Liqiang knew in his previous life. As a symbol of acceptance of the Han Empire's rule, these governors only needed to pay a small symbolic tax and tribute to the Han Empire every year.

The Han Empire set up many governorships in many frontier areas in all directions of the southeast and northwest, and these governors and protectorates, there are large and small, and the area and area under the jurisdiction of the large governors can be equivalent to several states or a state of the Han Empire, such as the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion of the Han Empire, the Yibei Governor's Mansion, the Montenegrin Governor's Mansion, and the Baiyue Governor's Mansion, etc., and the small Governor's Mansion is more, simply as much as a cow's hair, and the size of the area under its jurisdiction is different, and some of the smallest Governor's Mansions may have jurisdiction over no more than a county, and the smallest may even be only a few villages and towns。

Therefore, the official position of supervising and protecting has no grade in the Han Empire, because the same superintendent, the best mixed can be comparable to and surpass the first-class members of the court, and the one side is divided, and the one who is not mixed well is not as good as a county order or even a pavilion chief.

In the history of the northwest of the Han Empire, there was also a Governor's Mansion, and that Governor's Mansion was called Qiyun Governor's Mansion.

The jurisdiction area of the Qiyun Governor's Mansion includes the vast area of Qiyun Mountain and Gulang Grassland outside Ganzhou and Lanzhou, before the seven divisions of Shatu moved into the Gulang Grassland and the area east of Qiyun Mountain, this area was inhabited by five or six small tribes and clans that migrated from the countries of the Western Regions, such as Wusu, Cheshi, Pile, Shali, and Dayue, and Qiyun Governor's Mansion was the leader of these small tribes and clans, but later, with the move of the Seven Divisions of Shatu, all this changed, and when the Seven Divisions of Shatu settled down in the area of Gulang Grassland and Qiyun Mountain, the former Qiyun Governor's Mansion"Suddenly caught by bandits", overnight, the entire Governor's Mansion was killed and did not stay, and the former Qiyun Guardian family directly came to a broken root, and the so-called Qiyun Governor's Mansion became an empty shell.

In recent decades, Yan Liqiang has seen in the book that it seems that the Han Empire has once again appointed a Qi Yun Governor, but a few days after the Qi Yun Inspector came out of Baishi Pass in Pingxi County, the heads of him and his entourage were packed into boxes and sent to the Ganzhou Thorn History Mansion, the reason is also "sudden bandits", since then, both the local and central governments of the Han Empire have selectively forgotten the Qiyun Governor's Mansion, just like the Qiyun Governor's Mansion has never existed, but the establishment of this official position has always existed......

In the ruling system of the Han Empire, the entire Qiyun Mountain region and the entire Gulang grassland area are under the jurisdiction of Qiyun Supervision, which is equivalent to the territory of Qiyun Supervision, this area, from a broad point of view, is almost larger than Ganzhou and Lanzhou combined, and all the alien races living in this area, even including the Seven Divisions of Shatu, at least in theory, must accept the command of Qiyun Supervision.

It looks wonderful!

But in fact, everyone knows that the authority of the Han Empire in this area is now close to zero, and now what really works in this area is the Seven Divisions of Shatu and their scimitars, and the presence of the Han Empire in this area is already very low......

Yan Liqiang didn't expect that the second choice given to him by His Majesty the Emperor would be the position of Qi Yun Guardian.

What does His Majesty the Emperor mean by this? Do you want to let yourself take an honorary title back to Ganzhou for retirement, or do you expect that you can make a difference in this position, turn the strategies you talked to Sun Bingchen about dealing with the Shatu people into reality, and give him a big surprise, if it is the second one, His Majesty the Emperor will inevitably think too highly of himself.

Ganzhou craftsmen and craftsmen supervise the construction, it is a stable fat difference, there are not many variables, and it can be regarded as a high power and light responsibility, more money and less things close to home, and this so-called Qi Yun supervision is an errand between heaven and hell!

Yan Liqiang's brain was running rapidly, weighing the pros and cons of choosing these two positions.

If the Han Empire is peaceful in the future, Yan Liqiang would rather choose which Ganzhou craftsman battalion to supervise the errand, and it is not bad to eat and wait for death to live and die, but now, knowing that the entire Han Empire will change in four years, and the Shatu Seven will take the opportunity to enter Ganzhou and bloody Pingxi County, Yan Liqiang's choice will slowly become clear......

From a certain point of view, Yan Liqiang just wanted to sleep, and His Majesty the Emperor sent a pillow.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to return to Ganzhou and take over the position of Qi Yun's guardian!"

After thinking for a moment, Yan Liqiang said firmly to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Hahaha......" His Majesty the Emperor laughed, looking very happy, "I really didn't misunderstand you!"

"Weichen's ability is limited, he can only do his best, if he can't meet His Majesty's expectations, please don't be disappointed!"

"Of course I know the difficulty, this position is given to you, you can advance or retreat, you just have to let it go, don't have any worries! You are fifteen years old this year, there is time, I can give you ten years to see your results is not too late!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"In addition to this position, this time when you go back to Ganzhou, I am giving you 100,000 taels of silver to cover the opening expenses of your Qiyun Governor's Mansion!" His Majesty the Emperor looked at Yan Liqiang, waved his hand, and said magnanimously, "If you have any requirements, just mention it!"

At this time, Yan Liqiang suddenly remembered the words of Gonggong Liu, he pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth, "If you want to pass through Qiyun Mountain and Gulang Grassland, you must have the support of the rear, and the support of various ordnance, materials and money and grain is indispensable, and my hometown of Pingxi County, Ganzhou, is adjacent to Baishiguan and Shatu Seven, I want to ask Your Majesty to hand over the craftsman battalion in Pingxi County, Ganzhou to me, and everything is up to me to take as the foundation of my rear!"

His Majesty the Emperor smiled lightly, "Hahaha, it's just a craftsman battalion, I will reward you for small things, do you have any other requirements?"

Sure enough, it is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, a Pingxi County Craftsman Battalion, a huge territory, so many people, this one gave it to himself as soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Liqiang secretly exclaimed in his heart, and asked him to naturally mention it again, but the more he asked, the greater his expectations, the more interference in the future, and the greater the local rebound resistance in Ganzhou and Pingxi County, so after thinking about it, Yan Liqiang's wise choice ended here.

"I only have this one request, and the rest will wait for me to return to Ganzhou and slowly figure it out by myself!"

"Okay!" His Majesty the Emperor glanced at Yan Liqiang approvingly again, Yan Liqiang's grasp of proportionality made him very satisfied, "Then when will you leave to return to Ganzhou?"

"On the twentieth of this month, Weichen will say goodbye to his friends in Dijing City in the past few days, make a little preparation, and then leave on the 20th!"
