"The emperor has issued an order to counselor Li Shuchu, the governor of Zhili, the military aircraft of Zhili, went to the palace to meet him!"

At the Ganqing Gate, the eunuch smiled at Li Shuchu who was waiting to see him, "Governor General, please come with the younger one. ≤,"

After the New Year, the former Governor of the Central Plains Li Shuchu also officially took office as the Governor of Zhili. According to the new system, the Governor of Zhili also served as the Governor of Hebei and was appointed as the Governor of the Counselor. The Governor of Zhili was known as the No. 1 Governor of the Han Dynasty. Although the two provinces under his jurisdiction did not govern the Shuntian Jingshi, the entire capital was under the protection of the Zhili Military Region and had great power.

The Zhili Governor's Office was located in Baoding, but Li Shuchu spent more time in the capital.

The emperor summoned Li Shuchu in the Nan Study Room inside the Ganqing Gate.

Li Shuchu reported his position at the entrance of the hall, and saw Wang Kun, the supervisor of the Sili, picking up the curtain and saying, "Li Shuchu meets you!"

"I asked you to come today to add some burden to you."

Liu Jun sat in a soft couch, watching Li Shuchu salute and asked the eunuch to give him a seat to pour tea. "Previously, the imperial court first recovered the land outside the pass, so in order to strengthen its control, it set up more provincial governments and set up many divisions. However, to this day, the situation outside the pass has been controlled by the imperial court. Although it has been vigorously immigrated outside the pass in the past two years, the number of places outside the pass is large and sparsely populated, and several provinces are often not as good as the one and two prefectures in the Central Plains. Therefore, the provinces outside the pass cannot help but have too many provincial governments, and some people are in trouble."

"I and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet have also discussed it in the past two days. They all believe that the frontier provinces can appropriately merge and eliminate the parts. The provinces outside the northern pass originally had Yanbei, Monan, Xing'an, Liaoning, Jilin, Haixi, Heilongjiang, Jiangdong, Xiboer, Beihai, Dongchen, Beiting, Jinshan, Suiyuan, Ningxia, Gansu, and Qinghai, and now all need to be adjusted."

After the merger of Liaodong and western Liaoning into Liaoning, Liu Jun and his cabinet are preparing for further adjustments. After the adjustment, Liaoning Province will be expanded. The Liaohe Basin south of the Songhua River will be classified as Liaoning Province. To the east of the Songhua River, it will go south to the lower reaches after the convergence of Songhua River and Heilongjiang to the south to the sea. The original Jilin and Haixi will be merged into Jilin, north to the Songhua River, and north to the lower reaches of Heilongjiang. To the north to the outer Xing'an Mountains, the Greater Xing'an Mountains, the former Heilongjiang and Dongjiang provinces, and the part of Jilin Province. The part of Xing'an Province will be Heilongjiang Province.

Most of Xing'an Province and Beihai Province, as well as the vast Xibol Province, are also the Xibol Province.

Chechen, Beiting and Jinshan provinces were merged into the northern Mobei Province. The southern Mobei and the northern Yan and Suiyuan were merged into the southern Mobei Province.

Ningxia, Qinghai and Gansu provinces are all Gansu provinces.

After this round of adjustments, these provinces will face a large area of ​​positive territory, but their population is still far inferior to those of the Central Plains provinces. Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Xiboer, northern Mobei, southern Mobei, and Gansu. From the northeast to the northwest, the seven provinces are the new northern border.

After the adjustment, including the four provinces of North Korea and Japan, the Han Dynasty had thirty-three provinces, which belonged to the thirteen military regions.

The three provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang are both affiliated to the military region outside the pass, while Xiboer and Mobei are affiliated to the military region in the northern part of the military region.

In the new Monan Province, Liu Jun planned to join the Zhili Military Region, from the Yanshan Mountains to the Yinshan Mountains and to the Hetao Plain, the traditional Great Wall defense line of the Central Plains dynasty belonged to the Governor of Zhili.

This is also divided from the overall geographical situation. The Governor of Zhili has three major mountains, Yanshan, Yinshan and Taihangshan, and the entire Great Wall defense line. He has a complete strategic defense geographical situation and can better play the important task of guarding the capital.

The new Gansu Province still belongs to the Shaanxi-Gansu Military Region.

Liu Jun sipped tea, "The new Monan Province will include most of the original Monan Mongolian tribes, from the Yellow River Hetao Plain at the foot of Yinshan Mountain to the Xilamulun River at the north and Yanshan Mountain in the south. It is such a large area. It will be merged into the southern Monan Province, all under the Zhili Military Region. Do you have the confidence to take on this burden?"

Li Shuchu hurriedly said, "Reply to the emperor, I will be honored to take on this important task. I have to go to the point where I have no difficulties, and I have to go to the point where I have difficulties. No matter what, I will definitely live up to the entrustedness of Your Majesty and will manage Monan Province well."

"I feel relieved with your attitude. Monan is now the most important place for livestock and milk supply for the imperial court. At the same time, the wool, skin, herbs, etc. produced in Monan are also very important. It is very important to do a good job in economic development, but there are a large number of Mongolians who have been enfeoffed by the south of Monan. Therefore, while revitalizing the economy and developing the economy, we must not ignore the comfort and control of the Mongolians. We must strengthen the Chinese education in Monan."

Li Shuchu nodded repeatedly.

"I will remember your Majesty's teachings."

"Have you get up and talk." Liu Jun smiled and pointed to the chair next to him. "You have experienced several governors of Fujian, Zhejiang, Sanjiang, and Central Plains. You have performed very well in each position and are capable and willing to do practical things. Especially when you were the governor of the Central Plains, you have performed remarkablely. Henan has become the largest grain production area in the court, and Shandong's industrial and commercial development is also very rapid. This time, the south of the desert is transferred to Zhili, and you use snacks to strive to build the economy of Hebei, Shanxi and the south of the desert. When the economy goes up, everyone lives a wealthy life, and the society will naturally be stable."

"Now the whole country has been prosperous in life, but we should not be fascinated by these scenes. Although the imperial court's income exceeded 2 billion last year, we must also see that many people are still in a state of not being able to solve their food and clothing. A large number of people cannot even eat enough, not to mention that the houses where many people live are just straw sheds and dilapidated houses. They cannot solve their meals a day or two meals a day, let alone provide support for children to study, and ask for medical treatment when they are sick. For the imperial court, it is a good thing that is more and more rich people, but this is not worthy of our pride. What we should pay more attention to is how many poor people there are, how many people still have enough food, how many people don't wear warm clothes, how many people don't have a tiled body, how many people are still sick and have no money to treat, how many children can't afford to go to school or marry a wife."

"You are the governor of Zhili, the best governor in the world, the chief official in the border area, and the ruler in the country. I hope that when you are developing economic development, you should not only focus on how many certain numbers have risen and how much wealth has increased, but look more at how many poor people there are. I don't want you to play any word games for me or how much average numbers are used. A millionaire and ninety-nine beggars, on average, one hundred people are 10,000 yuan households, but in fact they are a huge rich and ninety-nine beggars. Such a situation is unhealthy and deformed for the court. Such a gap between the rich and the poor will cause social turmoil and uneasiness."

Liu Jun is already preparing to take the number of poor people under the jurisdiction of officials as an important indicator for the performance assessment of officials, and this indicator will even rank ahead of the economic growth under the jurisdiction of officials.

Now the Han Dynasty has transitioned from the traditional agricultural society to the commodity economy society. The total economic volume has increased rapidly, but the gap between the rich and the poor is also rapidly widening. The wealthy have a net worth of tens of millions, while the poor have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing.

Next, Liu Jun focused on a few points, mainly how to treat the Mongols. For the Mongolians, the strategy of the court should be to win over and promote Chinese education. Especially in the commercial development in the south of the desert, cooperation can be mainly used. Han merchants contribute money, Mongolians contribute to the land and people, and the two sides cooperate to benefit each other. Instead of eating alone, otherwise it will be difficult to arouse resentment from the Mongolian princes.

After a long time, the next generation of Mongolians will be the same as the Han people at the latest.

Li Shuchu also talked about some plans to develop the economy, such as Shanxi positioned as mining and smelting of coal and steel, and Hebei positioned as cotton spinning processing and industrial and commercial manufacturing. After all, Beijing and Tianjin are two top cities in Lushun, Dalian, Dengzhou, Qingdao, Taiyuan, Zhangjiakou, etc., all of which are large populations and have developed commerce, which require a great demand for commodities.

"I believe in your ability. Since you have found a position, then do it. If you need support, please report it. Whether it is necessary to attract investment or attract investment, the court will help you." After saying that, Liu Jun said again, "Let me tell you good news, Li Zhen is pregnant. You rarely enter the palace. You will come over to see her later, talk to her, have a meal before leaving the palace."

Li Shuchu thanked her for quitting.

Liu Jun continued to read two memorials. Now that the cabinet is in charge of administration, Liu Jun needs to be much more relaxed. After the cabinet handles government affairs, it will send a backup to the Sili Supervisor. The Sili Supervisor now has no power to approve the rich, but it is still the emperor's assistant. The Sili Supervisor's Admiral is still holding the title of Prime Minister's participation in politics.

The General Regulatory Commission carefully watched the backup sent by the cabinet, and then made a memorandum to the emperor for the emperor to watch.

When the affairs of the cabinet finally come to the emperor, one thing is often only one or two sentences. Only some very important things or some controversial things will be noted.

The handling of the cabinet does not fully conform to Liu Jun's intention, but as long as it is not a matter of principle, Liu Jun generally will not issue an order to veto it. As an emperor, he must know how to delegate power. Since he has given the cabinet executive power, Liu Jun does not intend to never let go.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor sent someone to report that the two marquis, the marquis's wife, the eldest princess and the princesses have all entered the palace. Please move your Majesty to the Huangji Palace to attend the family banquet."

"Well, go to Huangji Palace."

In the Huangji Palace, the Supreme Emperor and his children were sitting together and chatting. Except for the emperor's son, the rest of the three sons and five daughters came. The Supreme Emperor was actually not old, and he was in his early fifties, which was the same year. However, with such an outstanding emperor's son, Liu Xiu, the Supreme Emperor, was ignored by others.

Fortunately, Liu Xiu was not the kind of person who was very powerful. A few years ago, Liu Xiu had only one wife and one concubine. After entering the palace to become the Supreme Emperor, Liu Xiu ignored his affairs and took four more concubines for himself.

All four concubines were very young, and two of them were already pregnant.

The emperor had no objection to this matter. The Supreme Emperor who did not interfere in state affairs was already very good. Taking a few women and having a few children was not a big deal.

The emperor's sister-in-law Mei sat next to her mother-in-law and talked, but she was a little absent-minded. Mei always felt that her husband was incompetent. She couldn't study back then, and nothing else was possible. She was lucky and had a good brother who started from scratch and took over the world. The entire Liu family was considered a family and a family. Liu Zhao, who was useless, became a marquis.

If it weren't for the comparison of the two brothers Liu Jun and Liu Jian, Liu Zhao would have been very good. But as long as Mei compares Liu Zhao's other two brothers, she feels that her husband is inferior to others everywhere. Not to mention Liu Jun started from scratch and was in his twenties and took the dragon throne. Besides, Liu Jian was even more of a high school student in his teens, passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination, and now he is the prefect of Shuntian, and is highly praised by the government and the government.

In addition to having a marquis, the husband only held a nominal position as a minister of Zongzheng Temple. He said he was managing the royal family. In fact, there were not many members of the royal family and it was not the husband's turn to take charge of the real affairs.

Her husband was incompetent in his career, and Mei Qing also lost his heart. Later, when she discovered that the emperor and Wuchang Hou Liu Jian were still operating a huge industry, Mei was a little unable to sit still.

Although the emperor usually gave Liu Zhao a lot of rewards, there was no other income besides this reward, and his salary was not high. The new dynasty also prohibited the offer, and he was not allowed to take advantage of it.

Mei finally felt that even if she didn't think about herself, she had to consider her son. She has given birth to two more sons in the past few years and has three sons.

Mei is a very smart woman. She asked her brothers from her parents and built the company along the trend. With the special identity of the boss behind the scenes being the emperor's brother, Mei's company chose to do construction development and engineering. Not long ago, the Mei's brother-in-law Liu Jian, and used Liu Jian's note to say hello to the project manager. After the scenes, she easily got several projects.

Mei's entire company is actually a bag company with no funds and no engineering team. After receiving the project, Mei's company obtained a low-interest loan from the bank through Liu Jian's help. Then, by using the money to acquire several small construction companies, they recruited several small engineering teams, and even if they officially started listing.

But as soon as the construction company started, it caused trouble. The project they took down had a small village on its original address, and those people were not satisfied with the company's demolition compensation conditions. As a result, Mei's brother, a very stingy guy, relied on his royal relatives to commit a forced demolition. As a result, among the forced relocated people, there were retired soldiers who refused to show weakness, and the two sides argued and then fought, and eventually became a group fight.

The veteran's father was broken in a group fight. The young man was furious and pronounced a military slaughter and stabbed seven or eight times, three of whom were seriously injured and unrescued.

This matter suddenly became a big deal and could not even be suppressed.

After Mei found out, she thought about reconciling her privately and giving her a compensation for joining the army, and then giving her more money to the people in her company.

But three people died, this is no longer an ordinary case.

In the end, the people from the military commanders in the five cities took the people away, and even the Jinyiwei and Dali Temple intervened immediately. The matter became more and more troublesome, and Mei didn't know how to end it.

Today's family dinner is actually the Mei family asking for help from the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager. The matter is too big, and Liu Jian can no longer help his sister-in-law, and Liu Zhao is even more useless. Mei can only ask the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to help, to see if she can say a few words to the emperor for her and solve the problem.
