Chapter 1254

The three kingdoms of Song, Qin, and Tang were attached one after another, bringing a large number of people and civil servants and generals, and laying a manpower foundation for the imperial court to support the great development of Africa.

The delay in the appointment and removal of African personnel until now is also based on this consideration.

A few days ago, the imperial court decided to move a total of 10 million people from the four cities of Handan City, Xiangyang, Xianyang, and Chang'an to the African Protectorate, bring China's most advanced farming technology, and fully develop the African continent.

At the same time, the imperial court also encouraged foreigners to settle in Africa.

To this end, the African Protectorate, in conjunction with the imperial court, formulated a series of preferential policies, such as exempting agricultural tax for one year, subsidizing cattle and farm tools for free, and so on.

The purpose is to set off a wave of construction in Africa in the shortest possible time.

In addition to economic construction and development of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, Ouyang Shuo also paid great attention to the spread of Chinese civilization, instructing the Department of Science, Education, Culture and Health and the African Protectorate to set up schools in Africa.

In all areas under the jurisdiction of the African Protectorate, the official language is unified as Chinese.

Ouyang Shuo hopes that in two to three years, more than one-third of the African people and more than 90% of school-age children can learn Chinese and write Chinese characters.

Let Chinese civilization take root in the African continent.

This is by no means whimsical.

In the area under the jurisdiction of the Southern Xinjiang Duhufu, this work has long been carried out. Perhaps because Southeast Asia has a long history with Chinese civilization, learning Chinese and writing Chinese characters has become a local trend.

All government-run schools use Chinese characters and teach hundreds of classics.

While promoting the Chinese civilization in the local area, the Chinese civilization also absorbs the essence of the local civilization and turns it into a part of the Chinese civilization with its characteristics of "inclusiveness and inclusiveness".

The collision and integration of civilizations made the Chinese civilization shine brighter.

Chinese civilization has officially entered the world stage.

In order to support the great development of Africa, at the behest of Ouyang Shuo, the imperial court directly allocated a special fund of 30 million gold coins to the African Protectorate.

This has never happened before.

The 30 million funds were not directly allocated to the African Protectorate, but flowed into the African continent with the help of the Daxia Commercial Bank and the Daxia Agricultural Bank.

With this sum of money alone, the two major banks can gain a firm foothold in Africa.

The financial institutions in the nine countries that were destroyed will also be acquired by the two major banks. After being rectified according to unified standards, they will reopen to the outside world and activate the financial market in Africa.

In this way, the two major banks can absorb the idle funds in the hands of the local people in Africa and use them to support the second or even the third stage of Africa's great opening up, forming a virtuous circle.

Even the huge African continent, 30 million funds can't afford it.

…………

During the great development of Africa, the African Theater was also making some adjustments under the supervision of the Privy Council.

Conquering nine countries in half a year is really a remarkable achievement. Under the personal training of Bai Qi, the four major armies in the African theater turned into a group of bloody wolves and galloped across the African continent.

The name of Bai Qi's killing god has risen to fame in the African continent, which makes people frightened.

After successive battles, there were naturally no shortage of tough battles. The four major armies all suffered varying degrees of battle damage. Under the order of the Privy Council, they directly supplemented the battle damage from the soldiers.

After all the ministries have been replenished, there are still many soldiers left.

In view of this, in order to strengthen the recognition of the local people in Africa, according to Ouyang Shuo's instructions, the four major armies in the African theater will abolish some troops and use them to form provincial garrison divisions and government officials.

The vacant places will be supplemented by local prisoners of war.

After the adjustment, the proportion of native African fighters in the African theater of the four major armies has reached about 20%, and the total number of soldiers is around 250,000.

In the future, this will become a common standard.

That is to say, in the garrison of the Duhufu, the local fighters must meet the minimum standard of 20% to maintain stability.

The advantage of doing so is that in addition to increasing the recognition of the local people for the imperial court, it can also reduce the hostility of neighboring African countries towards Daxia, because the Daxia army is no longer a complete outsider.

…………

The scorching sun shone into the royal study, reminding the passage of time.

Just now, Ouyang Shuo, together with three ministers, identified two candidates for the governor of the African Protectorate, and decided to appoint Sun Wuji, the eldest minister of the Tang Dynasty, as the governor of Tanzania, and Yang Xiuqing, the prefect of Leizhou in the former Lingnan Province. Governor of Tanzania Province.

Changsun Wuji was born in the Changsun family in Henan Province. He was brought up by his uncle Gao Shilian since he was a child. He and Tang Taizong were common friends and later married. After Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty raised his army, Changsun Wuji went to join Li Shimin, fought with Li Shimin, became his confidant, and later participated in planning the Xuanwumen Incident.

During the Zhenguan period, Changsun Wuji successively served as General Zuowuhou, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Minister Youpushe, Sikong, Situ, Shizhong, Zhongshuling, and was named Zhao Guogong, ranking first among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. He supported Emperor Gaozong during the battle for the establishment of the reserve, and was later appointed Minister of Gu Ming, awarded Taiwei and Tongzhongshu's third rank.

During the Yonghui period, Changsun Wuji presided over the revision of "Tang Law Discussion" on the basis of "Zhenguan Law", and later opposed Gaozong's appointment of Wu Zetian as queen. In the fourth year of Xianqing, at the behest of Wu Zetian, Changsun Wuji was framed by Xu Jingzong, exiled to Qianzhou, and finally hanged himself to death.

Changsun Wuji served three dynasties and served as prime minister for more than 30 years. He was talented in civil and military affairs and was a famous politician in the early Tang Dynasty. As a noble relative, he was powerful but not professional. He was loyal to the Tang royal family, tried his best, and made contributions to the formulation of the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a great talent in civil and military affairs had great influence on the officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty. Ouyang Shuo was worried about keeping him in the country, so he "ruthlessly" sent him to the African continent.

What will happen in the future depends on Changsun Wuji's performance.

The eldest grandson Wuji was assigned, and the other governor, Yang Xiuqing, was reused. From the county guard to the provincial governor, no matter which province he served in, it seemed like a small step, but it was actually a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.

What's more, the Mozambique Province occupies a vast area and borders the Bantu Dynasty. It has an important strategic position and is rich in resources. It also coincides with the great development of Africa. As the governor of Mozambique, Yang Xiuqing really has a lot to do.

Yang Xiuqing can also be regarded as an old minister of the dynasty, and he joined when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was pacified.

Ouyang Shuo's promotion of Yang Xiuqing as the governor of Mosang was not only out of nostalgia, but more importantly, Yang Xiuqing had this ability, especially after she washed away the traces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on her body, she is really a great talent.

The governors of Tanzania and Mozambique are easy to choose, but the governor of Kansai is the most difficult one.

The Kansai Province covers the Qin and Tang Dynasties. It not only has the two main territorial cities of Shura City and Luoye City, but also the two royal cities of Xianyang and Chang'an. They are also managed by the Qin and Tang Dynasties. The foundation is so strong that other provinces cannot Compare.

The governor of Kansai cannot be competent without great talent.

It stands to reason that Li Si and Wei Liao, the former ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian, the former ministers of the Great Tang Dynasty, are all first-class talents, and they are all capable. It is a pity that they are too deeply involved with the Kansai Province. It is absolutely impossible for him to serve as the governor of Kansai.

After all the calculations, it is most appropriate to transfer one of the current governors.

Taking this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo made an inventory of several local governors with long tenures, including Liaojin Governor Huo Guang, Yunnan Governor Pei Ju, Lingnan Governor Wei Ran, Jiangchuan Governor な砆, Jingchu Governor Fan Zhongyan, and Donghai Governor Ximen Daguanren, A total of six people.

The rest were appointed within a year or two.

From this, it can be seen how fast Daxia is expanding, with frequent personnel changes and new people joining in constantly.

Among the six governors-general, て砆 is the candidate for the future guardian of Xijiang, and it is not suitable to be called; Fan Zhongyan and Ximen officials have just adjusted, and they are not suitable.

Even Pei Ju was in Gaia for seven years and had just been transferred from the governor of Somalia to the governor of Yunnan.

In this way, it seems that only Huo Guang and Wei Ran are left to choose.

The Mongol Empire has not yet been pacified, and the imperial court still needs Huo Guang, the civil and military minister, to sit in the Liao and Jin provinces, and it is not suitable to be transferred. In the end, it seemed that Wei Ran was the only one left to choose.

However, the candidate that Ouyang Shuo was least interested in was Wei Ran.

Wei Ran has a history of corruption and taking power. Although he has restrained himself under Ouyang Shuo's warning, it is impossible to turn it around completely so that Ouyang Shuo cannot reuse it.

This time, he fell into a dead end.

Zhang Tingyu said: "Your Majesty, how about appointing Wei Ran as Governor of Kansai?" Unresolved key personnel issues are taboo. In Zhang Tingyu's view, it's okay to compromise sometimes.

Ouyang Shuo was silent for a long time, his brows were furrowed. After a long time, he said, "There are some things that cannot be compromised. In this case, let's transfer Pei Ju to be the governor of Kansai."

Ouyang Shuo trusted Pei Ju very much.

The two ministers, Kou Zhun and Zhang Tingyu, looked at each other thoughtfully. Wei Ran's misdeeds made him lose the opportunity to reach another level, which is really embarrassing.

His majesty's persistence in employing people and his strong principles can be seen. I am afraid that from now on, Wei Ran will not be able to get further reuse, and will stop here for the rest of his life.

However, a strange light flashed in Jiang Shang's eyes. What he thought was different from Kou Zhun and Zhang Tingyu. Is there a reason why Wei Ran's son-in-law, Bai Qi, was too bright because His Majesty suppressed Wei Ran's promotion?

Jiang Shang didn't dare to think about it, so he could only keep silent.

"The emperor's mind is unfathomable." Jiang Shangshi couldn't understand His Majesty's mind.

Pei Ju was transferred to be the governor of Kansai, and the vacant post of governor of Yunnan was proposed by Gao Shilian, a former minister of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, two governors appeared in Datang at once, which is indeed a wealth of talents.

In his early years, Gao Shilian was the governor of the Sui Dynasty. Because he was implicated in the government of Husi, he was demoted to be the chief secretary of Zhuyuan County in the ninth year of his great career, and was appointed as the judicial secretary by Jiaozhi prefect Qiuhe.

In the fifth year of Wude, Gao Shilian returned to the Tang Dynasty, thinking that Yongzhou ruled the middle, and later assisted Li Shimin in launching the Xuanwu Gate Change, was promoted to a servant, and was named Yixing County Duke.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, he served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was granted the title of Duke Xu. In the twelfth year, he was renamed Shen Guogong, hereditary governor of Shenzhou, and moved to Shangshu Youpushe.

In the nineteenth year, he worshiped as Taifu and assisted the crown prince Li Zhi to supervise the country. In the 21st year, he died in Ren, posthumously presented to Situ and Bingzhou Dudu, posthumously titled Documents, buried with Zhaoling, and served in Taizong's temple.

It can be seen that Gao Shilian is fully competent for the post of governor of Yunnan.

After discussing the candidates for the governor of Kansai, the next step is to arrange the three civil servants Li Si, Wei Liao and Fang Xuanling, which is another very troublesome task.

Not to mention Wei Liao, the statement is not too obvious, Li Si and Fang Xuanling are great, even in the 5,000-year history of China, they are still first-class talents, and they are both among the top ten famous figures in China.

The problem is, Daxia doesn't seem to have a place for them.
