Chapter 1579 Fang Yiai's life in Goguryeo

Goguryeo Protectorate

Fang Yiai has been the Protector General for some years, and the court has almost forgotten him. However, according to Li Xiang's principle of adaptation, if you govern this place well, you may not have the opportunity to transfer within three years. You must consolidate this place, especially the land that did not originally belong to our Tang Dynasty. This principle must be followed.

Li Xiang did this for a reason. If you frequently change local officials, his policy program has just been launched, and you want to get rid of him, then who will be responsible? If there are signs of chaos in the local area, won't the next official be very dangerous?

He just came here to take office, and he doesn't know what's going on. There is a rebellion here. Pingpan doesn't know what to do, and it is estimated that he can only escape. Therefore, Li Xiang created an unspoken rule that if your governance in this area has improved, then you have to continue to work here. Unless there are special circumstances, you have to stay here for three years.

Thinking of His Highness's policy, Fang Yiai felt like crying. Others stay in this place for three years, but I have been here for nearly six years. This guy has been in this position since the attack on Goguryeo. It is now the fifth year. Is the sixth year far away?

The scope of the Goguryeo Protectorate, according to today's division, includes the entire Northeast plus the Greater Khingan Range, and almost all of the Arctic Ocean in the north, including Sakhalin Island, and the Goguryeo Peninsula in the south. This large area is all within the scope of the Goguryeo Protectorate.

Speaking of which, this piece of land is really big. If you calculate the area, it is as much as five or six million square kilometers, but if you talk about the population, it is estimated that one square kilometer can average one person. This is because Goguryeo originally had a large population. If there were not so many Goguryeo people, it would be even more scarce now.

Of course, there is no need to station troops in those places in the north. Every spring, two troops are sent to patrol. There are only a small number of nomadic peoples surviving in the area. They pay taxes according to the amount stipulated at the beginning. We don’t care so much and try to interfere with their lives as little as possible. Moreover, they also express their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and help the Tang Dynasty to stay here. If there is anything, they will report the news to the capital as quickly as possible.

Fang Yiai governed this area in an orderly manner. Not only can he pay taxes every year, but he can also dispatch some second-line troops to ensure that the Tang army maintains order on the battlefield, transports military rations or manages prisoners. Anyway, there has never been any mistakes.

It is precisely because of this that even if his father Fang Xuanling is the prime minister, there is no chance to be transferred back to Chang'an. His father did not even mention this matter. Anyway, you are not the only son. According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty nobles, except for one son, the rest of the people have to find a way out for themselves. Aren’t you finding a way out for yourself now?

Although this guy was also a local emperor in Goguryeo, in the eyes of the nobles in Chang'an City, no one wanted to come to this place. Chang'an City was the most core location. Who would want to run out? Unless he was sick in the head, otherwise, staying in Chang'an City was the core of power. No matter how comfortable life was in this place, it was not what we wanted. After staying here for a long time, it was easy to be forgotten.

Speaking of being forgotten, Fang Yiai really wanted to cry. He felt that he was forgotten now. He also sent memorials to Chang'an City on time in recent years, but the replies he received were all those two words, either read or good.

According to Fang Yiai's idea, even if you people made some requests, such as paying less taxes last year, you would be considered a person if you asked. As a result, except for these few words, you didn't get anything. He was like a forgotten corner here, which made him uninterested in doing anything.

Of course, Goguryeo is relatively close to Chang'an City. Most of the things are known to everyone, so there is no need to ask. Another thing is that Fang Yiai is quite like his father, and he manages this place in an orderly manner. Do we still need to find fault with him?

Moreover, even if there are other things, you have to let him go because of his father, the prime minister.

So this guy is more and more idle every day. He finishes the orders given by the court as soon as possible, and then he goes to do his own things, devoting himself to landscape painting, or reading some ancient books, or going out to get a concubine. Anyway, he lives a very comfortable life. If Li Xiang sees him, he would like to exchange with this guy.

"Master, someone is coming from the northwest. It's eunuch Xia who is beside the prince."

Fang Yiai was fishing today. There were seven or eight people serving beside him. All of them were from Goguryeo. They were able to serve Mr. Fang, which was considered a great virtue. After all, they didn't have to work, and their families could eat well.

Of course, if you want to serve Mr. Fang, you can't just come if you want to. You must be a person with a clean family. Although Goguryeo has been governed well now, some people still have evil intentions, so you have to check your ancestors. If you have never committed any crime, you have a chance of being selected, but it is not guaranteed.

These people were carefully selected. They respected Lord Fang very much. They had been trained over and over again to serve him. Goguryeo people were the best at doing this, so except for two guards with swords, the rest were all Goguryeo people.

When Lord Fang heard that someone had come to His Highness, he immediately became interested. His Highness had not sent anyone to come for two years. The last time he sent someone to come, it was to congratulate him because he had a young girl. His Highness came to give him a gift. Now that he heard that Eunuch Xia was coming, it must be something important.

When Qian Ping was punished, Eunuch Xia was the most useful eunuch around His Highness. If it wasn't an important matter, how could he send Eunuch Xia? Doesn't he have to stay by His Highness's side to serve him? Not everyone has the opportunity to get close to His Highness. (End of this chapter)
