The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 140 Yanzhou Inspector
The end of the Yanzhou rebellion, although everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this time also led to the basic collapse of the local economy in Yanzhou.Now Yanzhou is in a situation where no one is available.

Everyone knows that Yanzhou is a mess now, and no one wants to go there.There were numerous casualties and there was a shortage of labor.These are all problems that Yanzhou is facing now, so the position of Yanzhou governor is now a hot potato.

"Call Lu Shang." Liu Hong said to Wei Zhongxian. Yanzhou needs someone who is strong and capable to take charge.

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian said. The governor of Yanzhou and his eunuchs did not have the ability to clean up this mess. If it were not for the war, the situation in Yanzhou would have been good. After the war, any place that has gone through the war means that here Totally screwed.

Lu Shang is now in charge, because the imperial court still uses the expropriation system, so there are not so many restrictions on the promotion of talents.After much deliberation, there are not many people in the imperial court who are capable of governing Yanzhou well.

Yang Jian, Li Yuan, Wang Meng, Lu Shang, Liu Bowen, and a few monarchs from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were the only ones. Everyone seemed to be good, but those few people from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were all local sheriffs. When promoted to the position of governor, others will inevitably be dissatisfied.

Therefore, the choice can only be made within the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, Lu Shang is here." Wei Zhongxian came back after a while, and he said to Liu Hong.

"Let him in." Liu Hong interrupted his thinking and let Lu Shang in.

"Your Majesty, I will see you." Lu Shang came in to salute.In the imperial court, in fact, he was still somewhat restricted. He thought that when his talents were brought to a certain area, and all matters in this area were entrusted to him, he could better display his talents.

"Come on. Get up. You and I rarely have this opportunity to talk alone. Let's have a good chat with me today." Liu Hong said.

After the big reform, when everyone was assigned to their duties, the original members of the inner court basically left.Although there are still some people in Luoyang, after all, they also have a lot of government affairs to deal with, so they spend much less time with Liu Hong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Shang said after listening, he understood that Liu Hong would not call him over so casually, he looked at the things on Liu Hong's table, it was a map of Yanzhou, and he knew that Liu Hong was Candidates for the governor of Yanzhou are being considered.

This matter has also been debated in the court, because the original governor of Yanzhou caused the White Lotus Sect uprising, so it has been withdrawn.Now Yanzhou is just an official serving as the governor, but his talent is not enough. I hope the court will re-select the candidate for the governor again.

But as soon as this was brought up in the court, no one went there at all, and the aristocratic faction was even more secretive about this.I don't want to get involved in Yanzhou's affairs at all.

This led to the fact that a few days have passed, and the candidate for the governor of Yanzhou has not come out at all. Lian Po's army is about to return to Luoyang, and the candidate has not yet been announced. This has already caused many things in Yanzhou, and there is no way to solve them at all. .

Liu Hong also seemed anxious. The damage of the war was too great. If the consequences were not handled well now, a second uprising would probably break out in Yanzhou.

"Things have been going on recently, so it's pretty handy." Liu Hong asked, and they haven't been together for a while, so they still asked to communicate and communicate.

"It's okay, my minister. After all, there are many colleagues together. It can be regarded as a united force." Lu Shang said, of course, Liu Hong did not believe this. There are many factions in the court, and maybe they can still unite on major issues.But in some small matters, the behavior of arguing and playing tricks on each other is absolutely indispensable.

"That's the case. You are the head of a department of the imperial court directly from the inner court. Although you also assisted and participated in government affairs at the beginning, after all, there were several other cabinet ministers as leaders at that time. You were just assistants. You just started handling government affairs. It will definitely be a little hectic, but it doesn't matter, take your time." Liu Hong said.

At the beginning, they were directly promoted to high positions because they had an assistant cabinet with government affairs qualifications. With this bonus item, they were able to hold the current position.But the inner court was directly responsible for Liu Hong at the beginning, and they already had Liu Hong's label. Whether they handled it well or not would make people think of Liu Hong directly.

However, because they are handling it well now, Liu Hong also has a reputation for knowing people and making good use of them.

"Yes." Lu Shang said, he also knew Liu Hong's support for them, otherwise, with so many people in the imperial court, why did they come from the inner courtyard directly go to the county guard to take charge of such a high position?This is inseparable from Liu Hong's support.

"Inspector of Yanzhou, what do you think?" Liu Hong asked after chatting about other things and seeing that the situation was almost settled. He wanted Lu Shang to go to Yanzhou.

However, from the head of the court to the governor of a state, on the surface it is a promotion, but the affairs of the court should not only be based on rank.

In the imperial court, they only need to work through their qualifications, and when the current position retires, they can be promoted.Different places, perhaps their best position is the governor.

"Well, for the position of governor, I believe that someone with relatively strong ability must be needed. Otherwise, with so many people in a state, I am afraid that if it is not handled properly, there will be endless troubles." Lu Shang said.

Although Lian Po and the others have put down the rebellion, after all, they still have tens of thousands of White Lotus sect captives. If they are not handled well, it will cause them to rebel, and the harm will be even greater.

"I'm going to let you go. I don't know if you want to." Liu Hong's words have already given Lu Shang a lot of face. Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. At this time, Liu Hong can directly order Lu Shang to go. Yanzhou, but before going to ask Lu Shang, this is an attitude, after all, Yanzhou is a mess.

If you make achievements, you can be promoted naturally, and your future is bright, but if you don't do well, you may lose your future. If you have a good family background, you can use family resources to help you. If you have an ordinary background, you will be completely ruined.

"I am willing to go." After Lu Shang saw the map of Yanzhou where Liu Hong was, he understood that Liu Hong wanted him to be the governor of Yanzhou.Govern Yanzhou.

In fact, this is what he hopes for. Giving him a place to give full play to his talents is definitely what he wants most.

"Think about it. You are in charge now. If there are no accidents, you will become a minister and a cabinet minister in the future. This time, if you go to Yanzhou, it will be okay if it is handled well. Already?" Liu Hong asked.

"I understand now." Lu Shang said.

"Okay, the people of Yanzhou, I will leave it to you, come on." Liu Hong said.
