Chapter 19: Answering Questions (3)
She hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since the eldest prince is so smart, why don't you come up with a few more questions to test him? ”
Fang Hongtian nodded, picked up the other folds and looked at them.
Fang Ling snorted secretly in his heart, but on the surface he seemed very calm, since he had already stood here, he had already been mentally prepared for the worst, but if he wanted to use a few problems to govern the country, he would be stumped, then this calculation was wrong.
Fang Hongtian paused after flipping out a fold and asked, "Do you know Baizhou?"
Fang Ling replied: "Baizhou is located in the west of our country, many mountains and hills, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the material is extremely underdeveloped, there is no official road, no matter in and out of the mountain road to enter, its people are fierce, the people are soldiers, three hundred years ago, the ancestor emperor to capture Baizhou, it took a year, this is included in the territory. ”
Fang Hongtian bowed slightly: "In the past few years, I have sent seven prefects to Baizhou, whether it is a scholar or a member of the imperial court, once they get there, they can't handle the situation, and even often violate the customs and taboos of the people, resulting in a series of troublesome things, what can you do to solve it?"
As soon as everyone heard this, they all knew that the matter of Baizhou was indeed a difficult problem, if there was no military attache guarding there, I really didn't know what the chaos would be, but I didn't know what Fang Ling could do?
But Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Why didn't my father promote the powerful local officials of Baizhou to the prefect?"
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and Fang Hongtian also frowned and said, "Promote local officials?"
Fang Ling said with a smile: "The Baizhou Rebellion is nothing more than the word 'xenophobia', the people are fierce, and they naturally don't like to be controlled by outsiders, but if the local officials are promoted and rewarded generously, they are familiar with the local customs, and they are grateful for the gift of their father, so they will naturally manage Baizhou very well." And with this promotion, other local officials will also do their best to strive for rewards, and everything will naturally be peaceful from top to bottom. ”
Everyone sighed lightly when they heard this, and secretly said that these four or two thousand catties are really powerful, and the focus of the problem is removed from the people, and put it on the officials, the local officials are familiar with the situation, and if they get a rich reward, they will try their best to repay the emperor's favor, which does make sense logically, and governing the local area with the local area does have a surprisingly difficult effect.
Seeing that Fang Ling had solved the problem in a few words, Empress Song's face was a little unsightly.
Fang Hongtian was a little interested, and successively opened the folds and asked questions, almost every question would be a headache, in fact, these twists and turns were not left at random, but the problems that Fang Hongtian had not thought of a solution after reading them in the past few days.
However, once any problem was raised, Fang Ling would immediately find a solution after thinking about it for a while, and these methods were all unique and refreshing.
Everyone was secretly surprised when they heard this, and they were impressed by this big prince, and those foreign envoys also paid attention to this big prince who had only heard of it, and Queen Song's expression became more and more ugly.
In fact, it was precisely because Fang Ling was in the cold palace that he had not been exposed to too many political things, so his ideas were not fixedly constrained, coupled with the control of political talent given by this royal bloodline, everything was like a bamboo, and the problem was solved.
