Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1049 Lao Pan
Dian Prince's Mansion.

After the three Dai chieftains left, Pan Yuanming couldn't help but ask:
"The prince is always cautious about the canonization of chieftains. There is still no envoy in the whole province of Yunnan. Why did he make an exception for Lao Dao today?"

"Haha, because..." Zhu Zhen smiled, opened the box on the desk, took out a family letter, handed it to Pan Yuanming and said: "My father has decided to establish the Luchuan Pingyan Propaganda Department and the Cheri Propaganda Department. Thank you, Secretary."

"Really?" Pan Yuanming quickly took it with both hands and showed it respectfully.

Then I saw Boss Zhu writing in the letter:
'Recent inquiries revealed that there were thirty-six roads in the area where Silun was born. In the Yuan Dynasty, all the areas were governed by officials. Later, they were exclusively occupied by the barbarians for forty years. Then they invaded the southwest of Chuxiong and moved far away to the Weiyuan Prefecture. The king of Liang was unable to control it, and it ended up being owned by the barbarians. After I conquered Yunnan, the Si family attacked our Yongchang and killed our soldiers and civilians. Based on this view, I was not sincere when I proclaimed myself a minister. '

'The previous meeting between you and Wenying was actually based on an old man's plan to seek the country. The thieves are in great power and it is not advisable to seize them quickly. There is still chaos in Yunnan, so we should first pacify the three rivers, and then gradually control it. We can first respond to his request and set up the Luchuan Pingmian Xuanwei Department as a way to delay the attack. At the same time, prefectures and counties were established in its territory and many local officials were granted in an attempt to disintegrate it. '

'The military and civilian offices in Cheche can also be promoted to the Xuanwei Department to divide their power, which may have miraculous effects. If they are still on the sidelines and doubtful, you should show off your military power to make them aware of their fear. Foreign affairs must be dealt with in the middle period. Side affairs must be kept secret and should be judged by oneself. My son should consider my wishes. '

After reading it, Pan Yuanming returned it with both hands and suddenly said: "It turns out that the prince gave him a favor."

"You can't say that." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "Didn't my father say so? Border affairs are confidential and should be judged by oneself. I can still stop him if I forcefully stop him."

After a pause, he sighed softly: "But my mind has changed. The cost of governing Yunnan by our own people alone is too high. At least for a long period of time, we must rely on the chieftains to reduce the cost." Our labor cost is so that we can concentrate our efforts on big things. We must wait until the future when we take root in Yunnan and let Han people make up the majority.

"Yes, the three of them are the finale." Pan Yuanming was even more tired at his age.

"Have you almost finished seeing everything you need to see?" Zhu Zhen stretched his body. He had been meeting with local officials at high intensity for the past month. His bear-like body felt a little tired.

"It is indeed wise for Your Majesty to assess the situation and correct his strategy." Pan Yuanming praised hurriedly.

"However, even if they are promoted to the Military and Civil Affairs Bureau and the Xuanwei Division, they cannot leave it alone. They must send out officials and Han officials to provide them with government guidance, so that they can be integrated into the military and political affairs of the province instead of being independent. Turn them into independent small kingdoms." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Yes, please keep this in mind." Pan Yuanming hurriedly agreed.

"Then send them back quickly." Zhu Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I hope that we can achieve peace by going through this."

"It's definitely possible." Pan Yuanming said with a smile: "The prince's summons was so successful. After the Laba Banquet, the local officials began to use honorifics when talking to the Chief Secretary."

"It must be useful. Can my army of one hundred thousand be working in vain?" Zhu Zhen smiled lightly and said: "I just don't know how long it can be used." "Three to five years should be no problem." Pan Yuanming smiled. Said: "As long as we can eliminate Silunfa in the next few years, I guarantee that no chieftain will dare to make a mistake in the next few decades. This is the prince's method of killing monkeys to scare chickens."

"Hahaha, I'm sorry you still remember my nonsense." Zhu Zhen burst into laughter and said to Pan Yuanming: "These local officials are gone, and you Chief Secretary still have no time to spare. Hundreds of thousands of troops returned to Kunming to celebrate the New Year. Is it a lot of pressure?”

"Yes." Pan Yuanming smiled bitterly: "The soldiers originally thought that they would be able to fight after conquering Yunnan. Unexpectedly, in the second half of the year, they had to suppress rebellions everywhere. Not to mention they were exhausted, and the casualties were much higher than before. The new year is approaching, and it is inevitable that the mood will not be good. It’s stable, but the pressure from the government is really high.”

"Speaking of which, this is the second year that the soldiers have spent in Kunming. It is normal to have emotions." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "The government should try to be more considerate and take care of all aspects. I also told Ying Marquis Chuan and others should do more work for the soldiers, so that the soldiers can have a happy New Year."

"Yes, I have repeatedly told you that I would rather suffer a little more fatigue than to chill the hearts of the soldiers." Pan Yuanming responded, and quickly picked up something that Lao Liu liked to hear, and said: "Fortunately, the prince has brought this College students can still be busy. These young people are beyond imagination. They are both knowledgeable and down-to-earth. Your Majesty is really good at nurturing talents!"

"Well, they are the first graduates of Guozi University, and most of them have worked with me in Jiangxi to settle land and compile pornographic books. They are not nerds with high ambitions and low abilities." Zhu Zhen said with hope: "Just put more burdens on them. As young people, that’s when they need to exercise.”

"Yes." Pan Yuanming nodded quickly. That's what the prince said. He didn't dare to kill those college students.

"I have already said hello to all the local officials." Zhu Zhen ordered again: "Next year, all of them will be assigned to serve in Fuzhou and counties. You see how to arrange this matter, and come back and get a charter. Decide with me."

"Yes!" Pan Yuanming responded with a smile: "The initial stage of the Yamen is the most tiring, but it is also the most training. Those young people have personally experienced the government from scratch, and they are completely familiar with the affairs of the government. Once it is clear, people will grow.”

"Well, next year we will set up all the yamen first, formulate the rules and regulations, and straighten out the uploading and distributing. You will have done a great job." Zhu Zhen habitually painted a cake for Pan Yuanming and said: "After the matter is completed, I will recommend...forget it. Now, you’d better stay with me for now.”

"Hahaha..." Pan Yuanming said with a smile and cupped his fists: "The prince's gift is definitely the best reward for me."

"Don't worry, I won't lose you." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Isn't Mr. Ling working as a county magistrate in Shaanxi? Let him come to Kunming to be a county magistrate. Ting Ping is transferred to the border to be a county magistrate. No one will say anything about you. What."

"Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty, for your thoughtfulness." Pan Yuanming was moved to tears. He was an official who had returned from official service. At his age, what else could he pursue in his official career?
Zhu Zhen's arrangement not only allowed his family to reunite, but also allowed his son to be promoted to the top in a few years, which made him happier than being promoted to an official position.

Although it is said that "Those who have done evil in their three lives, the magistrate of the county will be attached to Guo", it would be a different story if the magistrate of the county attached to Guo had a father who was a chief envoy.
