The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1515 Govern Taizhou
After all, Taizhou has just been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If it is said that the understanding of Taizhou is Liu Renyuan except Xuan Shijing, and just now His Majesty Li Er asked Deyi to invite Xuan Shijing over, and also sent Others, bring Liu Renyuan to the Xuanzheng Hall.

The two people were called here to talk about the development of Taizhou.

The land has belonged to Datang, so we can’t just send officials there and finish the job. This Taizhou was brought down by two soldiers. For them, they must know more about Taizhou than the officials who just passed. It's much more profound. As for what policy is more appropriate for the imperial court in Taizhou, His Majesty Li Er wants to hear the opinions of Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan.

Not long after, Liu Renyuan and his servants brought him to the Xuanzheng Hall, stood beside Xuan Shijing, and bowed his hands to His Majesty Li Er.

"Just now when I asked the question, Liu Qing's house arrived. It just so happened that the two of you should come together and tell me what you think about Guantaizhou."

Liu Renyuan glanced at Xuan Shijing, didn't the imperial court send officials there?Why is there still something about me and Xuan Gong, this matter is endless?
But the emperor has already asked the question, and Liu Renyuan is not good at keeping silent, so he can only cup his hands and say: "Before the minister and Xuangong left Taizhou, the officials of the imperial court had already arrived in Taizhou. Now that the situation in Taizhou is stable, what is needed is nothing more than long-term stability. Officials in Taizhou don't act rashly, and generally speaking, the problem is not big."

Liu Ren would like to respond in this way, saying what he said is the same as not saying it, but he explained to His Majesty Li Er something that His Majesty Li Er already knew.

What His Majesty Li Er wanted to hear was their own thoughts on Taizhou, not what the court officials said.

"Your Majesty, the general situation in Taizhou has been decided. According to Master Liu, as long as the officials proceed step by step, nothing will go wrong. Yesterday in front of the Hanyuan Palace, many ministers in the court and the court saw the items brought back by the minister and General Liu for the treasury. Money, the minister estimated that many people are already eager to move. If they are moved, they will send the caravan belonging to their family to Taizhou. In this way, the connection between the Central Plains and Taizhou will follow the coming and going of businessmen. It will be closer, and the people over there will naturally return to their hearts when they live a good life. As for the court policy, in my humble opinion, Your Majesty might as well exempt Taizhou from taxes for one year, at least let the people there first. Live a solid life." Xuan Shijing said.

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and nodded: "What about the leaders of the five forces on the island, and the original army on the island?"

"Before I and Lord Liu come back, those troops have already become farmers and miners, and they won't gather together anymore. As for the leaders of the five forces, I have a suggestion." Xuan Shijing said.

"Let's listen to it." His Majesty Li Er said.

It is time for Xuan Shijing to fulfill some of the conditions that Xuan Shijing promised them when he subdued them on the island. You can’t be a man without faith. Anyway, what you promised to them is not important. s things.

"Now that the Tang Dynasty has established prefectures and counties in Taizhou, everything has just begun. The officials sent by the court are far inferior to the leaders of the five forces on the island in terms of prestige. The minister thought, If you want to govern the people on the island, you will still need them in the past two years. Your Majesty may wish to give them an official position, for example, a lieutenant in the army, a senior official in the government, etc. Anyway, in the end, the right to speak is still in the hands of our officials."

Xuan Shijing thought about it, and added: "Furthermore, the attitude of the officials sent by the imperial court to the people on the island is also very important."

What Xuan Shijing said is also true. If the officials sent in the past look like they have their nostrils up all day long, something will happen to Taizhou sooner or later. Don’t forget that there are still some capable people on Taizhou Island today, such as Yang Fu, In addition to Wang Xiwei and Cheng Yong, if the officials were too extreme and angered them, then everything Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan did before would be in vain.

As the first official of Taizhou, the burden on his shoulders is heavy, and what the officials do there is related to the future development of Taizhou.

Xuan Shijing didn't know the officials sent by the imperial court at the beginning, and didn't have much contact with them. After all, after the officials passed, they took out the imperial edict of His Majesty Li Er, asking Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan to return to Chang'an immediately, so the two packed up. After tidying up, they boarded the navy's warship and returned to Chang'an. As for the character of the official, neither of them knew.

Now back in Chang'an, Xuan Shijing is a little worried.

His Majesty Li Er entrusted Changsun Wuji with the matter of dispatching officials, and he himself just read the brochure that Changsun Wuji handed over, but His Majesty Li Er also trusted Changsun Wuji very much, and felt that Changsun Wuji Don't hesitate to do things, nothing can go wrong.

But now, after listening to Xuan Shijing's words, I put this matter in my mind and think about it carefully, but I feel that the decision was too hasty at the time. After going through the officials who are suitable for sending to Taizhou in my mind, His Majesty Li Er thought of one person.

That is Wei Zheng's third son, Wei Shuwan.

Wei Zheng's family style is strict and upright. Now Wei Zheng's four sons are all officials in the court, and they have not been transferred for some years. These three sons, Wei Shuwan, have a gentle temperament, but they have also inherited Wei Zheng's demeanor in handling political affairs. What Taizhou needs now is a moderate and upright official.

Treat the people gently, but when dealing with things, you need to be firm and upright, with a combination of rigidity and softness, in order to govern Taizhou safely and securely.

Under the contemplation of His Majesty Li Er, he had already decided in his heart that the officials in Taizhou were going to be replaced, so the official who went to Taizhou earlier was probably going to be transferred back.

After all, the suitable candidate in His Majesty Li Er's heart is much more suitable than the one selected by Changsun Wuji.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji dared to say that he didn't have his own selfishness in it.

For Wei Shuwan, this is also an opportunity. His Majesty Li Er now attaches as much importance to Taizhou as he does to Chang'an. If Wei Shuwan can make some achievements in Taizhou, the half-dead Wei family is very likely because of him. , to restore its former glory.

Being able to govern a state alone is enough to prove Wei Shuwan's ability, and if Taizhou is governed properly, he will have political achievements.

"In this way, I plan to resend officials to Taizhou, and the original leaders of Taizhou that you mentioned, Jinger, will also appease their officials." His Majesty Li Er said.
