Chapter 864 Sending Du Shaofu to Beizhou

Nanjing, Linjiang Wharf.

It is another group of farewell groups. The reason why the word 'you' is used is because such things have been common in Nanjing Wharf and Railway Station in the past two years.

Some of these officials went to the Philippines, some went to Annan, and some went to Siberia.

Further afield, there are people who go to Ceuta in North Africa and Rio in South America.

Before they leave, good friends and good concubines will come to see them off.

"Brother Du, I'm going to Beizhou Province. The next time I see you will be three years later."

Fang Jingling said that parting is always sad.

"Haha, isn't it just three years, it's just a matter of blinking an eye. Three years ago when we took the exam together, it was like yesterday."

Du Jun was open to it, because he took the initiative to apply for the appointment to Fusang Beizhou Province, and he was already mentally prepared.

If he continues to stay in Dahua, he can only be a county magistrate.

If you go to Beizhou, you can get a deputy provincial official position, which is two levels higher than the county magistrate.

Although life in Beizhou is definitely not as comfortable as Dahua, for those who want to climb up as quickly as possible, this bit of hardship is nothing.

"I just don't know if those Fusang people are good at governance. Brother Du needs to be careful about everything there."

Fang Jingling took out a very delicate pistol and gave it to Du Jun for self-defense.

At the time of farewell, Fang Jingling suddenly became very poetic and came with a song "Send Du Shaofu to Ren Beizhou".

"It's a thousand miles away, and I don't sleep in Hai Shi."

"The moon shines on my body, and I speak to the shadow."

......

"Stop, brother, take a rest, I'll take a step first."

Du Jun hurriedly interrupted Fang Jingling's poem and fled to board the ship.

After all, Fang Jingling's poem is too nauseous.

This poem probably means that after this separation, the two of us are separated by thousands of miles. Because of the difference between morning and night, I can't even fall asleep at the same time.

The moonlight shines on me, I take the shadow as you, and then tell my thoughts.

Today's readers all know that the earth is rotating, have the concept of time zone, and know that at the same moment, morning and night are different in different places.

Scientific knowledge has increased, but literary talent has greatly declined.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this poem is too numb, and Du Jun is afraid of being misunderstood, so he can only run away.

On the boat, Du Jun and several other colleagues said hello.

He is not the only one who went to Fusang this time, there are many officials at all levels, and there will be more in the future.

Although the Fusang area is not large, it has a population of nearly 20 million, and its value is not comparable to that of places like Siberia.

"It's still Mr. Li. The place where I took office is Kyoto Province. I heard that the Beizhou Province I went to is very desolate."

Du Jun chatted with an official he had just met, and since then he will be an official in Fusang, so it is very beneficial to make friends.

"The more people there are, the more difficult it is to govern. What's more, the place I manage also has the chieftain of the Ikeda clan. It's really terrible."

Li Xueliang complained.

What kind of existence a toast is, these officials are very clear, after all, they can refer to the previous situation in the southwest.

Dealing with the toast is not an easy task, if the other party is not good, he will betray.

Although Dahua's army is no problem to suppress the rebellion, as long as there is a rebellion, it means that the local officials are incompetent and will not handle the relationship.

What's more, in the event of a rebellion, local officials like them are easily killed.

"Master Li has been thinking too much. Those fusang names should not dare to mess around in the short term. In a few years, you can be transferred back to the Central Plains."

Du Jun said.

The two had a sentence, and they chatted without a word to pass the time.

In Eastern Siberia, Dahua has also set up a province here, called Northern Province, which is the province with the largest area but the smallest population in Dahua.

With an area of ​​3 million square kilometers and a population of less than 500,000, there is only one person in an average of six square kilometers.

The population density of Nanjing City has almost reached 500 people per square kilometer, which is 3,000 times that of the Northern Province.

In the huge Northern Province, there is only one governor, some deputy governors below, and the positions of various directors are still vacant, and those Dahua officials are unwilling to come.

Although the conditions for going to Fusang are difficult, at least there is still a chance to make political achievements.

But in Northland, officials are pretty much idle.

Neither agriculture nor industry can develop here for the time being.

Qian Ke, the provincial governor, is still working hard. After coming to Siberia, he tried to start some industry.

But after some tossing, he chose to give up.

The people here have almost no spending power, and even if they make products, they cannot sell them.

As for selling to the Central Plains, it is nonsense. The cost of transportation will make its products uncompetitive.

The only advantage here is the fur.

The troops stationed here often go out to hunt for the skins of various animals.

But this is the military's business, and Qian Ke can't get involved.

As for natural resources, Qian Ke believes that there will be many places of this size. The key is that no one is willing to come over to explore and mine.

The cost is too high, and Dahua is not particularly short of resources now.

Coming to Northern Province

In just a few months, Qian Ke was trying to find a way to establish a relationship and try to transfer back to the Central Plains.

Not to mention the Central Plains, even going to the southwestern mountainous area has a better future than here.

In the Philippines, the Dahua officials serving here are better than those in Northern Province.

There is at least a transit station for maritime trade here, and the commerce is relatively developed. Moreover, it has a tropical climate with sufficient sunlight and rainfall, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture.

The industry is a little weak, and it is difficult to develop.

But with business taxation and agricultural taxation, officials here are also prone to political achievements.

Of course, no matter how good it is, it can't compare to the Central Plains.

Almost all Dahua officials hope to serve in the capital, followed by the Central Plains.

Officials on the frontier and overseas always want to return to the Central Plains.

Enjoying the life of a developed society in Nanjing, and then going to those places overseas, just like in a primitive society, will be very unaccustomed.

No lights, no cars, no ball games, no high-end brothels, not even clean roads.

Entertainment is lacking and food is monotonous.

Even if you want to read a newspaper, you can often only see the news from ten days ago.

Officials overseas will also leave a poem or two from time to time to express their feelings directly and express their unhappy feelings.

After all, there are only so many officials who have been reduced to overseas positions.

One is making a mistake and being banished overseas.

The other is losing political battles and being ostracized overseas.

There is also a lack of good background, lack of personal connections, and can only pick up such poor errands.

These people will naturally feel depressed.
