The first thousand one hundred and forty-five chapters

As time went by, Zhu Yicheng mentioned the intention of transferring Pan Mengyuan back to the local area. As mentioned earlier, after Pan Mengyuan stepped down as Governor-General of Xinming and returned to Beijing, Zhu Yicheng had already prepared him the position of Minister of Military Affairs. As for his military position, his military position was still retained, but it did not belong to the Navy and the Army. He went directly from the original Army Department, which was the former Army Governor's Office, to the Right Army Governor's Office, to be in charge of the General Logistics Department.

This is also considering the current situation of Pan Mengyuan. Although Pan Mengyuan was born in the navy, he served as the commander of the Xinming garrison when Xinming was appointed governor. So far, he had transformed from a navy to an army. Later, when Lieutenant General was promoted to the rank of general, he was also awarded the Army General.

But since he stepped down as governor, the position of the highest commander of the Xinming garrison was also handed over to Zhu Yigui. Therefore, Pan Mengyuan does not have any military positions now. Although he is an army general, he has no rights in the army.

This time, Zhu Yicheng placed him in the General Logistics Department and served as the governor of the Right Army, which can be said to be a major appointment for his military post. Zhu Yicheng had his own considerations in this way. With Pan Mengyuan's merits and qualifications, just one military minister was slightly insufficient. Although the military minister was of high power, it should be noted that the military minister actually did not belong to the official structure of the court. When Zhu Yicheng set up the position of military minister, he did not place the Military Affairs Office in the court formally established the military office. At best, the so-called Military Affairs Office was similar to the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty. His real position was only the emperor's private secretariat or counselor department.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet masters were not of high rank, only fourth or even fifth rank, but the cabinet was a department that represented the civil service group and the emperor to separate power and manage the government affairs. If we only talk about rank, the second rank of the six ministers of the ministers was far higher than that of the cabinet masters, but politics could not be compared only with rank.

The same is true for the Military Affairs Office. In fact, the Military Affairs Office is only the emperor's private department and is not in the court's organization. Moreover, Zhu Yi became the Military Affairs Office to control the Military Affairs Office and did not even give the Military Affairs Office official a formal rank. However, in addition to serving in the military affairs office, all military affairs ministers also have their own actual positions, either serving as a minister, minister, or having actual positions in the army. This has gradually become a convention since the beginning of the first military aircraft.

Pan Mengyuan was the governor of the Right Army, and there was no problem in terms of qualifications. Moreover, he had to have a real position in the Military Affairs Office, otherwise how would he act? In addition, Zhu Yicheng considered Pan Mengyuan's ability to govern in Xinming over the years, and felt that he was in charge of the General Logistics Department as the most suitable candidate.

"What do you think about this arrangement?" After saying that, Zhu Yicheng asked with a smile on his smile.

"I listen to the emperor." Pan Mengyuan bowed and thanked her, without any displeasure in her expression.

"Since there is no objection, let's do it first, and the official order will be issued in a few days."

"I obey the order."

"By the way, Wang Dong and Zhu Yigui went to Xinming to take over. The news sent back said that the handover was very smooth. Thank you for your hard work."

Pan Mengyuan hurriedly said, "This is my duty. I am the emperor's new herdsman. This is the emperor's trust in the humble minister. I naturally have to devote myself to my duty."

Zhu Yicheng nodded with a smile: "It is naturally good that you can think so, and I won't take it seriously. I have worked hard in Xinming over the years. This time I return to the capital to serve as a military aircraft, and I have high hopes for you."

Pan Mengyuan quickly said that he didn't dare, and at the same time expressed his loyalty.

Waving his hand, Zhu Yicheng said: "A while ago, Wang Dong sent me a letter and mentioned some matters about Xinming government affairs. If you have been in Xinming for many years, why would you please help me see it?"

"This..." Pan Mengyuan was about to refuse, but then he thought that since Zhu Yicheng said so, he had already prepared. In addition, it was normal for him to help the emperor's staff in Xinming government affairs, not to mention that he was the Minister of Military Affairs immediately, which was also the Minister of Military Affairs.

Seeing Pan Mengyuan nodding and agreeing, Zhu Yicheng took out the memorial sent by Wang Dong and handed it over. Pan Mengyuan took it with both hands and sat there and looked over. It took a long time to look at it. Zhu Yicheng was not in a hurry. She sat in the main seat and picked up the tea and drank it slowly, while patiently waiting for him to finish reading.

After half an hour, Pan Mengyuan finished reading it all. After reading it, he closed the memorial and returned it respectfully. Then he thought for a while under Zhu Yicheng's inquiring gaze before speaking.

"Returning to the Emperor, some ministers in Wang Shuai's memorials had discussed with me before leaving Xinming."

"Oh, that part?"

"About Xinming's material control and local affairs." Pan Mengyuan said frankly: "Ship Wang is very talented, but I am not as good as me. When Wang Shuai found me, I was a little satisfied with the so-called "Ship Wang" in Xinming over the years, and I felt that Xinming had some minor achievements from nothing to something, and then to the current situation."

"But Wang Shuai discovered many problems in Xinming in just one month from Xinming, especially the current Xinming development is unbalanced, lack of foundation, weak technology, and even widening the gap with the local area because he is far away from overseas. In addition, his negligence and even imbalance in industrial and commercial industries have exacerbated this situation. These are all my governance mistakes. Therefore, when Wang Shuai decided to issue a new order to adjust the industrial structure of Xinming, I recognized and agreed."

"Well said!" Zhu Yicheng was very satisfied with Pan Mengyuan's attitude. As a governor, it was normal to express his contribution to the superiors, but it would be difficult to admit his mistakes directly in front of the emperor.

What's more, Pan Mengyuan made great contributions in the development of Xinming. As the executor of the Ming Dynasty's development to Xinming, Pan Mengyuan can be said to have fought such a large piece of land for Zhu Yicheng and developed Xinming to its current level.

The credit cannot be erased. All the Ming Dynasty understood this. But if Pan Mengyuan had no problem at all? It was naturally lying with his eyes closed. After all, Pan Mengyuan was a soldier, and many of his thinking was considered from a military perspective. In addition, Xin Mingyuan was far away from overseas, and Pan Mengyuan did not have any effective civil servants to help. It was not easy to achieve this step.

It is natural to think about some things that are negligent, or not yet tender. But Wang Dong is different. Although Wang Dong is the commander of the Navy, he has worked for two full terms in the Military Affairs Office. During these two terms, Wang Dong’s consideration of government affairs is naturally much deeper than that of Pan Mengyuan. Moreover, the current Xinming is different from the Xinming at the time, and the two governors have different perspectives on the problems, so some things are actually not a surprise to Pan Mengyuan.

Zhu Yicheng showed these things to Pan Mengyuan, first to see his attitude and reaction to these, and secondly, to let him understand the current situation of Xinming's governance.

As an emperor, he was necessary to control his subjects. Although Pan Mengyuan made outstanding achievements, after all, after being overseas for such a long time, Zhu Yicheng has now placed him in a military position, and all the questions and even temptations are necessary.

Now, Pan Mengyuan's attitude made Zhu Yicheng very satisfied, and he also felt that his transfer to Pan Mengyuan this time was the right decision. Immediately, as Pan Mengyuan said, Zhu Yicheng discussed with him the details of the Xinming issue and Wang Dongxinling. Pan Mengyuan did not hide it. He said one thing, one thing, two things, and told him calmly about what he didn't know or could not think of for a while, which made Zhu Yicheng even more satisfied with him.
