I want to be emperor

Chapter 695
Wang Tu, who is far away in the remote mountainous area of ​​northern Guangdong, is not like the officials of many local states. He did not know the details of the new Guangdong chief envoy until Cheng Yongfeng arrived in Guangzhou and officially performed his duties accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Candidates, and then hastily used various relationships to inquire about Cheng Yongfeng's specific situation.

Wang Tu, before he came to Guangdong, he had guessed that Cheng Yong would be sent to Guangdong outside the summit, but he didn't know the specific position and the detailed time.

In the following months, Wang Tu also continued to pay attention to the trend of the high-level political circles of the empire. When he heard that the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was seriously ill and could not be a director, he then thought of the rumor that the governor of Guangdong, Li Qihua, had been ordered to go to Beijing to play the post.

At that time, Wang Tu basically had an estimate of Cheng Yongfeng's specific assignment and the approximate time.

When he learned that Li Qihua had been officially transferred to Beijing half a month ago, and that Tang Tiangui, the chief envoy, had acted as the acting governor, Wang Tu was basically [-]% sure about the matter.

His former boss in the secretariat, Cheng Yongfeng, who was optimistic about and supported him, is about to be appointed as the chief envoy of Guangdong Province.

Even according to the tradition of appointing and dismissing high-level officials in the empire, he even guessed that Cheng Yong's summit would be sent to the provincial council, and then he would take over the position of chief envoy by acting.

Therefore, when the outside world was shocked and inquired, Wang Tu sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and focused all his attention on the peaceful local industry and commerce, especially the development of several key projects that he had finalized as key projects.

Tea planting and processing, tea oil planting and processing, porcelain, soybean planting and yuba processing, bamboo processing,

These five industries are regarded by Wang Tu as the main industries to revitalize the local economy and improve people's livelihood.

These industries, they are not just a simple processing industry, they bring some industrial output value to the local area, create some secondary industry jobs,

More importantly, these industries are deeply bound to the local area, and their raw materials need to be obtained from vast rural areas.

Tea processing can drive a large number of farmers to plant tea, thereby increasing the income of tea farmers.

The same is true for Camellia oleifera processing.

Bean curd sticks and a small amount of other soybean processing industries will also cause a huge demand for soybeans, which will drive contemporary farmers to plant soybeans and obtain more agricultural income.

Bamboo and wood processing can provide labor in rural areas with job opportunities and income during slack periods.

Porcelain processing is not very powerful, and it will not directly provide too many jobs, but as long as it can provide jobs and tax revenue, it is a good industry.

Wang Tu's ambition is very big, he wants to open up the situation as soon as possible and make achievements.

As long as he can make achievements, no one can obliterate his political achievements, at least in Guangdong, no one can obliterate his political achievements.

It is highly probable to go further by then.

why?
Because Cheng Yongfeng is his backer...

As a member of the secretariat, his biggest priority is His Majesty the Emperor, of course...you can just say that.

And his real backer is Cheng Yongfeng.

However, when Wang Tu was immersed in his work, looking forward to making great achievements as soon as possible, his backer Cheng Yongfeng fell into a predicament in Guangzhou.

Sitting in the office on the second floor, Cheng Yongfeng's expression was not very good.

Just in the morning, Governor Tang Tiangui held a meeting, mainly discussing economic work matters, more precisely, industrial development matters.

At the meeting, Tang Tiangui was as efficient as ever. In just half an hour or so of the meeting, he proposed and promoted several future industrial and commercial development priorities, the most important of which was finalizing the plan for Guangzhou Dongcheng Industrial Zone. construction plan.

It is planned to focus on the development of comprehensive machinery industries in this Dongcheng Industrial Zone. In the future, it will be linked with Guangzhou No. [-] Industrial Zone, Panyu Industrial Zone, and Foshan Industrial Zone. Relying on the Guangzhou Industrial Railway Line that is under construction, it will build an industrial cluster and further increase Guangzhou. Take the lead in the industry to compete with Songjiang!

Judging from the planning of the Dongcheng Industrial Zone, the plan is very good. Once it is successfully implemented, it will be of great benefit to the industrial and commercial development of Guangzhou.

All aspects are good, except for one bad thing: this plan was not proposed by Cheng Yongfeng, but by Tang Tiangui himself.

Moreover, Tang Tiangui had never mentioned to him his plan to be in the so-called Dongcheng Industrial Zone before discussing it at the official meeting.

You know, Cheng Yongfeng has been in Guangzhou for more than half a month. Such a long time is enough for Tang Tiangui to discuss this matter with him a hundred times... More importantly, among the other people present, everyone knew about Dongcheng Industry in advance. District plan, only he, the chief envoy in charge of economic affairs, didn't know about it!

This is not normal!

Because he, the chief envoy, is the one in charge of economic affairs!
Theoretically speaking, regardless of whether it is the Xicheng Industrial Zone plan or the Dongcheng Industrial Zone plan, he should first prepare for the preliminary work, then propose it, discuss it at the meeting, and finally make the decision by the governor.

Instead of the other way around, the governor proposed it, and then asked him, the chief envoy, for his opinion!

Nima, before the meeting, I didn’t even know what the Dongcheng Industrial Zone was. Now you come to ask me what I think about this issue, and what do you say, old Cheng, that you are the person in charge of economic affairs. Let me talk about your opinion, etc. !
What other opinions can he have... I can only say that the governor has a good vision, and the Dongcheng Industrial Zone has a bright future. I will report to you again.

People who don't understand the internal operating structure of the officialdom of the Great Chu Empire think that Tang Tiangui respects his subordinates as a governor, and asks the opinions of his subordinates' political envoys when he proposes a plan.

But in fact, he stomped on the ground desperately during the meeting!

Because, this program is wrong!

To be honest, Tang Tiangui didn't treat him as a chief envoy in charge of economic affairs, but as an ordinary subordinate councilor.

The Great Chu Empire's counseling from the third rank is directly under the control of the governor, and its powers are determined by the governor himself, and there is no fixed power.

But the chief envoy is not!
In the affairs of a province, the governor can assign councilors or other people to handle other matters, except for economic and people's livelihood affairs, because this is the fixed scope of authority of the chief envoy.

In the imperial decree for the appointment of the chief envoy, there will always be such a sentence as "subject to the governor's restraint to handle the economic and people's livelihood affairs of a certain place". Industry, commerce and agriculture all belong to his management category.

This is also the reason why the chief minister of the third rank is only the first rank of the governor of the second rank among all the officials of a province, but higher than all other officials.

As for Cheng Yongfeng, although he is still a councilor from the province of Sanpin, he is ordered to act as the chief envoy!
Acting chief envoy, that is also a chief envoy!
What's more, he only needs a few months of transition time. After a few months of transition, he will be able to remove the word "acting agent" on his head logically, and turn from a third-rank counselor into a full third-rank chief envoy.

However, Tang Tiangui treated him as an ordinary councilor.

How could this make Cheng Yongfeng bear it? If he didn't leave the meeting on the spot, he was afraid of the impact.

After all, if they leave on the basis of the case, I am afraid that even the ordinary people outside will know the next day that the new governor and chief executive have fought.

As an acting chief envoy who was airborne, he couldn't do too much, or it would end badly.

Not to mention anything else, just letting His Majesty know that the front foot sent him to Guangdong, and it would be troublesome to cause such a big incident within a month.

It's not that His Majesty will be unhappy because he caused trouble, but that His Majesty will be disappointed with his own ability.

A chief envoy has been evaded so thoroughly...

That's right, everyone knows that Cheng Yongfeng has been ostracized, and he knows it himself!

The governor, Tang Tiangui, is at the top, and there are a few councilors below to divide powers. Nima, even the bastard of the Guangzhou prefect dared to step on him. Inside and outside are all kinds of instructions from Tang Tiangui, nothing to do with Cheng Yongfeng.

Guessing with his toes, he knew that the prefect of Guangzhou was Tang Tiangui's direct confidant, otherwise he would not have danced so happily at the meeting.

Nima, if you get mad at me, I will give you a copy, and then write a few letters, you can still be promoted to the third-rank counselor in this life, and I will take your surname!
But... he can't do this kind of thing, even secretly. Others may not know it, but Cheng Yongfeng, who was the first secretary in the past, knows very well that those senior officials in the court count as one by one. The internal affairs department of the Hanlin Academy will have a chance of a few shits and report it to the imperial court.

His majesty will know 100% if he engages in some shady methods in private.

Of course, there is a high probability that His Majesty will pretend to be stupid. In the past so many years, Luo Zhixue has basically pretended not to notice the dirty things of so many courtiers in private... because if he really wants to take care of it, he will kill all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty .

However, even if His Majesty doesn't care, it will still leave a very bad negative impact on His Majesty. This negative impact is not anything else, but the impact of work ability.

It's like not being able to completely turn against Tang Tiangui on the bright side,
And the two sides fell out completely... Tang Tiangui will be reprimanded, but his ability to work, especially in the local area, will be deeply doubted.

Maybe some people will say that a person who carries a bag and serves tea in the secretariat has the nerve to run to the livelihood of tens of thousands of local officials?

Right after I went down, I had a falling out with the people in the local area. Why, did I go down to become a master?
Don't look for any messy reasons, just one reason if you really want to ask: so many Beijing officials are released every year, why can't you do it here?

Others will not be completely excluded, but you have been excluded?
Is it someone else's cause or your own?

Cheng Yongfeng is absolutely unwilling to bear an evaluation of his incompetence!

He, Cheng Yongfeng, is not a person who carries bags and serves tea, not to mention assisting His Majesty in various military and political affairs in the secretariat, before he entered the secretariat, he had a very rich working experience.

In the early years, he worked in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, served as a co-prefect and magistrate, and later went to Beijing to work as a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then entered the secretariat.

He, Cheng Yongfeng, was also killed from the bottom, not a jester.

Isn't it just playing power, my old Cheng will put down my figure and have a good time with you, Tang Tiangui, and see who has the better means!
It's just that before playing tricks, you have to find a way to increase the real power at hand, and you have to divide and win over the few councilors and prefects, as well as some directors and other officials.

Pulling a batch and fighting a batch is the kingly way.

After all, the governor's yamen is so big, he, the chief envoy, is at most the second in command, or a second in command who has been emptied, and he can't do it alone.

First of all, the most important thing is to grasp economic affairs, especially the most important industry and agriculture in economic affairs. These two powers are the greatest authority of his chief envoy.

No one can tolerate others, not even the governor Tang Tiangui!

The provincial governor's yamen is closed, and the governor, the chief envoy, the procuratorate, and more than four senior officials from the third rank and above who participate in these governor's yamen.

There are rules for their work assignments. Generally speaking, the governor is in charge of the overall situation, sets the strategic direction, and pushes the situation towards the predetermined direction.

The chief envoy is in charge of the economy and people's livelihood. Specifically, it focuses on industry, commerce, agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry. The specific focus depends on the local economic structure. For example, in Monan Province, the most important thing is animal husbandry. The scale of industry, commerce and agriculture and forestry is too small to be on the table.

Because of the developed economy in Guangdong, the authority of the chief envoy mainly focuses on industry and commerce, and there is also an agricultural aspect where the people depend on food.

The chief envoy came to be the inspector. This inspector is the same as the counselor. They are all from the third grade. Some are transferred from the council, and some are directly concurrently served by the director of the patrol department. They are mainly in charge of judicial affairs. Of course, the authority of this judicial affairs basically cannot control the inspector. The court and the court of justice, these two institutions are directly under the higher authorities, and have nothing to do with the governor's office.

Then there are the counselors. From the third grade, the number of people can range from two to three people, and as many as five or six people. The situation of each province is different and the number of people is different.

According to the instructions of the governor, the councilors manage different affairs separately, or are responsible for official affairs, or for ritual education, or for water conservancy and flood control, or for transportation infrastructure, or for farming and mulberry affairs, etc. There is no clear management scope, and the governor directly assigns powers.

The above-mentioned people constitute the decision-making circle in the governor's yamen, and they are also a small group of top civil servants in a province.

Well, the officials of the three major agencies of the provincial taxation department, the inspectorate, and the court of justice are not considered the traditional civil servants, and the people who govern the yamen are not from the same line.

People basically don't care about the governor's yamen.

The reason why the provincial yamen of the Great Chu Empire formed this kind of political decentralized management is that other prefectures, prefectures, counties, and towns also had a similar decentralized management model, mainly imitating the Gyeonggi’s participation system.
