Chapter 927 New Asahi

Shanhai City, Summer Palace.

In the imperial study room, the first thing Ouyang Shuo met was Bai Hua, Governor of Yunnan, to show his friendship.

The two were old friends, and Bai Hua finally got her wish. She became the governor, overseeing the government affairs of the province. Although she did not have absolute military power, her power was almost the same as that of Chun Shenjun and others.

The governor-general governs the affairs of the province, comprehensively manages the army and the people, governs the civil and military affairs, governs the officials, and repairs and seals the border. This also means that the local garrison and reserve forces are under the control of the governor.

As for the field army stationed in the province, it is not under the jurisdiction of the governor.

Even so, the governor of the province can be regarded as the highest level of feudal officials. Under the background of the division of civil and military affairs in the dynasty, there are few important court officials who can supervise civil and military affairs.

Bai Hua knew Yunnan very well, so Ouyang Shuo would not ask for advice, but only mentioned the steel city that was temporarily placed under the direct jurisdiction of the governor's office in Yunnan, and hoped that the governor's office would increase its support for steel products.

It was Bai Hua who took the initiative to ask, "The Privy Council ordered the governor's office to raise food and supplies, but the imperial court is going to use troops against [North Sichuan city-state] in the near future?"

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, but Bai Hua guessed wrong this time.

Ever since Dichen arranged for Zhang Yi to be poisoned, Ouyang Shuo was thinking of teaching the [Yanhuang League] a lesson. The city of Handan is high and the road is far away, Ouyang Shuo has no choice but to target Di Chen at the nearby Swordsman City.

This time, he had to cut off an arm of [Yanhuang League].

Ouyang Shuo didn't hide anything, and said with a smile, "It's not the [Northern Sichuan City], it's the Swordsman City of Shu."

Long before the start of the Somali National War, the Military Aircraft Department had already been formulating a huge military plan. The resources mobilized were not only the dynasty army, but also many allies.

There is no doubt that every confrontation between [Shanhai League] and [Yanhuang League], no matter who provokes it, no matter who is involved, will eventually evolve into a confrontation between alliances.

Fighting swordsman city, one move will affect the whole body, so you must be fully prepared.

Bai Hua was startled, "Are you going to confront them head-on?"

As a former member of the [Shanhai League], Bai Hua is both eager to confront the [Yanhuang League] head-on, but also a little worried. If the two sides really go to war, they will be completely immortal.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Feng Wu mentioned to me that [Yanhuang League] is planning some big plans recently, it seems that they haven't given up yet. They provoke frequently, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

Previously, Ouyang Shuo held the idea that peace is the most important thing, and he didn't want to really start a war with [Yanhuang League], so as not to waste the overall strength of China.

Two dogs fight, play off.

However, Dichen and the others continued to make some small moves, which made Ouyang Shuo clearly realize that, as an aristocratic family, Dichen, including the family behind them, had long put the interests of the family above the interests of the country.

Although the establishment of the Federation means that there are no countries in the traditional sense on the earth, the reappearance of the country's territory in the game world will still arouse the family-country plot flowing in the players' blood.

And this kind of family-country plot, the aristocratic family doesn't have it, or they don't want to have it.

[Silver Hand] is an organization that transcends national boundaries, and only has family interests in its eyes. Just like the ancient clans, no matter how the dynasties change, the family will never die.

Therefore, even if Ouyang Shuo stopped, Di Chen and the others would not give in. They were always thinking about how to contain Da Xia.

Realizing this, how could Ouyang Shuo be soft-hearted and not beat them to death or maim them? Dichen and the others really thought that the game family was still dominated by the family.

Bai Hua said silently, "Alright, it's time to make a break."

Ouyang Shuo was not as optimistic as Bai Hua. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a centipede is dead but not stiff. Dichen and his big families are not so easy to be defeated.

It's only been Gaia for four years now, Ouyang Shuo has plenty of time.

Before leaving, Bai Hua said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Yunnan for you."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, with such a confidante, what more could he ask for.

…………

After sending Bai Hua away, Fan Zhongyan, Governor of Southern Sichuan, walked in.

"My humble minister pays homage to the king!"

Fan Zhongyan made a big gift, unable to hide his excitement.

In the previous competition for Guilin County Sheriff, Fan Zhongyan had a secret confrontation with Xunzhou Sheriff Bao Shuya. Although Fan Zhongyan won, he still faintly felt the king's estrangement.

How did Fan Zhongyan think that the king still chose him for the promotion of the governor of southern Sichuan this time. In this way, Fan Zhongyan really felt grateful.

The taste is really complicated.

But Ouyang Shuo didn't have so many emotions, it's all about the emperor's art.

In the past three or two years, although Fan Zhongyan has changed, Ouyang Shuo's changes have been turned upside down.

Today's Ouyang Shuo is no longer the lord of a small mountain and sea village back then, but a world-class lord who dominates one side and leads the group, the supreme king of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If it was said that when Fan Zhongyan first came to the territory, Ouyang Shuo had to humbly ask for advice, serve Fan Zhongyan, a famous official, with half a teacher's courtesy, and learn how to be an official; then now Ouyang Shuo has been able to absolutely dominate the relationship between monarch and minister.

The same is true of Fan Zhongyan, who has long regarded himself as a pure courtier and dare not think otherwise.

The conversation between the monarch and the minister lasted for an hour, all of which revolved around the planning of the southern Sichuan province. According to the system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the southern Sichuan province was regarded as the Zhili province, with an extraordinary status.

The governor of Zhili in the Qing Dynasty was the head of the eight governors.

However, in the Great Xia Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo did not plan to highlight the status of the Southern Sichuan Province. The Governor of Southern Sichuan, like other Governors, did not confer other titles.

According to the official system of Daxia, the governor of the province is the third rank.

If Ouyang Shuo wanted to raise the rank of a certain governor, he could, besides the governor of the province, hold the title of deputy minister of the four courts or even minister of the four courts, and be promoted to a second-rank or even a first-rank official.

This approach is the same as the title of Minister of the Ministry of War for the governor of the Qing Dynasty. Taking a vacant position improves the rank and treatment of the governor, so that the governor can act more cheaply in the local area.

The four governors have just taken office and have not made any convincing achievements, so how can they be treated like this.

…………

After accepting Fan Zhongyan's work report, it was already eleven o'clock, and the work report of the two governors, Huo Guang and Xun Yu, could only be arranged until the afternoon.

At noon, Ouyang Shuo held a banquet in the palace to entertain the four new governors.

For the governors, this is a supreme honor, which demonstrates the status of the upstarts of the four courts.

There are more than a hundred thousand ministers in the court. From the elders of the cabinet, the four ministers and deputy ministers, the minister of Honglu Temple and the imperial doctor, the four governors are the four governors who have the highest status.

Even in terms of real power, the governor is second only to the elder Ge and the four ministers.

Therefore, the four of them are veritable upstarts in the court and the big celebrities in front of the king.

…………

After the luncheon, Ouyang Shuo had a short rest and then received Huo Guang, Governor of Lingnan.

Huo Guang's superiority made the Huo brothers once again the focus of the court. Two brothers, one is the commander of the imperial guards in the army, and the other is the governor of the local area, both of whom can be described as extremely human ministers.

Such an honor, how could it not be envied.

There are a lot of rumors and gossips below, and even Yushitai wants to impeach Huo Guang, saying that Huo Guang was a powerful minister in history, he had done things like abolishing establishments, he was ambitious, and he should not be held in a high position.

This impeachment was suppressed by Ouyang Shuo.

Although Huo Guang in history was regent with powerful ministers, not long after his death, the Huo family was ransacked and beheaded. Huo Guang would not be untouched by such a lesson of blood and tears.

Furthermore, Ouyang Shuo was not welcomed by Huo Guang to become Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. As the founding king, he overwhelmed the world. Is there any powerful official who can fight against Ouyang Shuo? !

No matter who it is, as long as there is such a thought, it will usher in a devastating blow.

Huo Guang is a smart man, and in history, the road to being a powerful minister is also a hero made by the times. Now that he is in the wilderness, in the Great Xia, he definitely dare not have such thoughts.

When Ouyang Shuo saw Huo Guang, his main purpose was to appease this important minister, so that Huo Guang would not have any scruples, and let him do whatever he wanted in the Lingnan Province to show off his ambitions.

After hearing this, Huo Guang burst into tears of gratitude.

…………

The last person to report was Xun Yu, Governor of Southern Fujian.

Xun Yu probably already knew about the twists and turns encountered in the appointment, but he couldn't see any flaws on the surface.

The monarch and his ministers would not care about these details.

In Ouyang Shuo's confession to Xun Yu, apart from exhorting him to trade with the Sui Dynasty, he mainly mentioned that he hoped that Xun Yu would use his influence in the aristocratic family to attract more talents from the Three Kingdoms for the court.

Such as Guo Jia, such as Xun You.

The current Great Sui already has the strength and measure to accommodate the aristocratic family.

Xun Yu listened and nodded in response. This time he was promoted to the governor of southern Fujian, which was enough to prove the sincerity and mind of the king. Xun Yu also felt that it was time for the investigation to come to an end, and it was time for those people to leave the mountain.

In this way, it is natural for the monarch and his ministers to enjoy themselves.

…………

After the debriefing is over, the four governors will not leave Wangcheng immediately, because although the appointment of the governors has come down, the governor's yamen is still just an empty shelf.

Like Bai Hua, the governor of Yunnan, and Xun Yu, the governor of southern Fujian, it's okay. The provincial government is in the original place of office, so it's more convenient to do things.

It was miserable for Fan Zhongyan and Huo Guang, who went to work in different places and were unfamiliar with the place of life.

The four officials of the feudal border must temporarily stay in Wangcheng, and cooperate with the cabinet to complete the construction of the governor's office. Ouyang Shuo had already communicated with the cabinet to assign officials in the governor's yamen, and the governor has the right to recommend them.

In order to make the governor's yamen operate better and more smoothly, the four feudal officials naturally had to transfer several desirable subordinates to the yamen to run errands.

In addition to cooperating with the cabinet in selecting officials, even though the four of them were already big officials in the borderlands, they had to go back to the royal city this time, and they had to pay a visit to each yamen of the imperial court to set up relationships and make friends.

Human relations are by no means unnecessary in officialdom, especially the interaction between local officials and Beijing officials.

As the saying goes: the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

In the future administration of the governor's yamen, there is no way to bypass the yamen of the imperial court.

Ouyang Shuo could only turn a blind eye to this, as long as there was no bribery, he would not care.

Presumably, the four governors are all good people, and they won't do anything stupid. If we really want to do it, there are two secret organizations, Shanhaiwei and Yushitai, watching.
