Chapter 2821 Prince's suggestion

The prince walked out of the Taiji Hall and was about to return to the East Palace. After thinking about it halfway, he turned around and went to the duty room of Zhongshu Province.

Bai Shan and Master Fang were looking at the book, and there were clerks who brought the book in, and some who took the book to Menxia Province and Taiji Hall. When everyone saw the prince coming in, they stopped their movements and stood up to salute, "Meet the prince. "

The prince nodded, and directly nodded to Bai Shandao: "Bai Sheren, I have something to tell you."

Bai Shan put away the things on the desk and went out with the prince.

On a cold day, the Crown Prince was too lazy to invite people to the East Palace to speak, so he walked directly to the Baiyu Bridge outside.

The two of them stood on the bridge while the wind was blowing while talking. This had the advantage. It was empty everywhere. Unless someone was hiding under the bridge now, no one could hear them talking.

The prince asked Bai Shan, "Do you want to go out?"

Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and should be.

The prince asked, "Is there a place you like?"

Bai Shan thought for a while and then said, "Jiannan and Jiangnan are not bad."

The prince smiled, "You know how to choose, and you deliberately avoided the Central Plains."

There are many people in the Central Plains, the local nobility is prosperous, and the people live a stable and peaceful life. If there is no catastrophe, the people and officials will not change their minds, and it is not easy to make achievements in the Central Plains.

Therefore, Beidi, Jiannan and Jiangnan are the best. You can see Yang Heshu's choice. Jiannan was the one he chose at first. Luojiang County was poor, and it was flooded at that time. There were many wastelands and many people lost. .

Talented people are easy to apply in such a place, and naturally they are easy to make achievements.

The second place he chose was Xiazhou.

Xiazhou is connected to the grasslands. Nomads live on one-third of the land. The folk customs are sturdy, and they can attack and defend. It is also a good place to accumulate experience and make achievements.

Of course, the premise is that the people who go there can keep it, otherwise the talents are mediocre and the confidence is low, and I am afraid that they will eventually become the tools of the local wealthy family.

The prince looked at Bai Shan with admiration and said, "Your Majesty has circled three places for you, Jiazhou in Jiannan, and Jiajiang County in Jiazhou.

"The second place is Taizhou on Jiangnan Road, under which the magistrate of Shifeng County has been promoted; the third place is Qingzhou, where the magistrate of Yidu County was escorted from Jingzhong and the magistrate of Beihai County in the battle of the Eastern Expedition last year. Taking over from Yidu County, Beihai County will be left vacant."

Bai Shan's heart moved, and he asked, "Where does Your Highness want the minister to go?"

Since this is the place circled by the emperor, obviously he can go anywhere in these three places, what about the prince?

Bai Shan is only a small middle-school bookmaker, and the one who wants to be released is only a county magistrate, but the emperor is so dedicated to give him a choice of places in person, and then tells the prince to let the prince arrange it, he uses his toes The head wants to know the purpose of it.

The prince thought about it on the way here, and said: "Taizhou is too far away, the climate difference between the north and the south is too great, you have never been to the south of the Yangtze River, and His Majesty intends to release Zhou Man, and now the medical department is only in the north and the central plains. It was established in the area and has never reached the south of the Yangtze River, so Shifeng County can ignore it.”

"Jiazhou, it's good, but I think Qingzhou is better," the prince said bluntly, not holding back, "Qingzhou has a vast territory and rich resources, but has a small population. Because Beihai County is close to the sea, there are many fishermen, so It is very poor, but Beihai County also has an advantage. It is connected to Laizhou. Last year, during the Eastern War, Feng Shangshu went from Laizhou Bay to Laizhou Bay in Beisha City, and at least one-third of it was in Beihai County.”

The organizational system of Qingzhou has been changed several times. Previously, Qingzhou was not called Qingzhou, but Beihai County. Now Laizhou and Dengzhou were originally under the jurisdiction of Beihai County. When the emperor first changed Beihai County to Qingzhou, there is a section in the middle that is not clearly divided. Beihai County once included the current area of ​​Laizhou, but until now, it was further subdivided eight or nine years ago, and it has now been divided.

But the prince heard Feng Shangshu said that there are still some problems with the division over there. Just like the former Wannian County magistrate Guo County has been secretly trying to grab the land from the neighboring Yongzhou Liyang County, Beihai County has always wanted To rob Laizhou and squeeze to the opposite side to become the governor of the state can be described as very ambitious;

However, Laizhou has always rejected Beihai County, and even Bing County is not willing, because the name Beihai is pleasant, and there are many rich and wealthy businessmen in Beihai County, but the proportion of poor people is larger and the arable land is not much, so Laizhou does not like Beihai County. .

But the prince thought it was a good place, and he said, "Now the whole area of ​​Liaodong belongs to the Great Jin Dynasty. It is a long way from the land to the Duhufu of Andong, but the sea route is very fast. Silla and Baekje are all vassal states. There are many business trips, and if you do it well, it is not impossible to grab Laizhou Bay from Laizhou."

Bai Shan was still very kind, and said, "This is not good, can you still call it Laizhou Bay if you grab it?"

The prince said lightly: "You can rename it Beihaiwan."

He said: "Only this one thing, if you do it well, when you come back, the sky will rise."

Bai Shan thought for a while and then agreed, "I go back and think about it."

He had to go back and ask Mr. and Man Bao.

The prince nodded and said: "The new officials will take office in March or April. You still have one month to consider, and another month to prepare."

Bai Shan said: "I will give your Highness an answer as soon as possible."

The prince nodded and turned to leave.

Bai Shan himself also liked Qingzhou and asked Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang touched his chin and said, "Prince Prince did think of a good way for you, but it is for officials and people's livelihood. If you go for credit from the beginning, you will lose your heart."

He said again: "You robbed Laizhou Bay, but it's just the icing on the cake on Laizhou Bay. Laizhou can do it by himself. This is a good thing for Beihai County, but for the entire Great Jin, this is just a left hand for a right hand. What's the meaning?"

Bai Shan nodded, "Students think so too, but Qingzhou is vast and rich in resources, and the distance from the capital is not very far. The most important thing is that it can communicate directly with Silla Baekje, so I still like it."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Let's go then, ask Man Bao if she likes Qingzhou, you two just decide."

Bai Shan responded and said, "Sir, Your Majesty wants to give me to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "I can see it as a teacher, so what do you think?"

Bai Shan said: "I am a minister of Dajin, a minister of Your Majesty. It is the duty of a minister to protect the orthodoxy, and it is harmless to the country. I don't mind getting close to the prince."

He paused and said, "But Your Highness has been impatient recently."

Bai Shan said: "Your Majesty is prosperous this year, and he values ​​the prince. There is no need for the prince to train his confidants so quickly."

Mr. Zhuang nodded approvingly, but said, "Is this what Your Majesty also meant?"

"Your Majesty can have this plan, but the Prince cannot."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "I have a class tomorrow, and I will answer questions for the prince."

Bai Shan was relieved, the court was very stable now, and he didn't want to start some unnecessary disputes again.

See you at 6 pm
