If the Haihan Executive Committee uses this era as a chessboard, then these young officials with extraordinary backgrounds are extremely important chess pieces in the hands of the Executive Committee.How to deploy these chess pieces will definitely affect the future direction of the chess game.
But they are in the game, with limited knowledge, it is indeed difficult to see the whole picture of the game.Tao Hongfang knows slightly more information than his companions, so he can see a wider range.
In the past 30 years, the political and economic center of Haihan has always been in Hainan Island, but because of cultural inheritance, Haihan has always focused on the area ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty in the process of external expansion.However, limited by Haihan's own talent pool, only a few capable and aggressive traversers were sent to various places along the coast of Daming to expand their territories in the early days. , The power it actually controls has far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
When the local officials have a lot of resources in their hands, so much that they can even support their independent nation-building, and the executive committee is difficult to maintain effective control over them, then the political structure of the Haihan Empire may lose balance.However, the current development trend of the country is advancing rapidly in this dangerous direction.It is not uncommon in history for great empires to split because of their rapid expansion, and the traversers don't want the country they painstakingly created to become a negative lesson for future generations.
The current generation in power is very clear about where their power comes from, and reason is far higher than ambition. Therefore, this slightly deformed political form can still rely on the tacit understanding of the top to maintain stability, but no one can guarantee that it will be better. After one or two generations, will there be some daring and reckless people, relying on the separatist forces formed by the family's long-term local management, to make moves to split the empire.
The executive committee has been trying various methods to strengthen the control of the empire's territory. The plan to move the capital from south to north, and arrange local officials like Shi Diwen to serve on the executive committee, the ultimate goal is to stabilize the political situation and gradually improve State power system.However, people will have selfish thoughts after all. During this process, the executive committee and local officials will inevitably make their own moves, repeatedly pulling and testing each other's attitude.
Tao Hongfang's ostensible task is to investigate the commercial affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and the preparations for the capital relocation plan, but he also has other missions, such as understanding Shi Diwen's ruling strategy and the official situation in the East China Sea region.Of course, his identity is not the eyes and ears of spying on the news, but the special envoy sent by the executive committee. He doesn't need to do things secretly, he just needs to get all kinds of information from the local government openly.
Tao Hongfang did not encounter any resistance during this period, but he knew that to the official circles in the East China Sea region, his group were all outsiders.If you just take a stroll around the East China Sea region, and then go back to Sanya for business, you will naturally be greeted with a smiling face wherever you go.But if he wants to stay, or even serve in Donghai Region, then it may not be so flattering.
Tao Hongfang didn't make his words too clear, but Ning Zijing already understood: "If we choose to stay, some people may think that the executive committee has placed people in the East China Sea region to break the local official balance. These voices may also reach our ears. So Shi Chengwu wants to let us know that his father will not care about such things."
Bai Letong said: "Since that's the case, as long as Master Shi doesn't appoint local officials to us, won't there be no problem?"
Tao Hongfang said with a smile: "This is a wonderful thing. We are only here to investigate in the East China Sea region. We have no relationship with local officials, and we have no right to directly interfere with local military and political affairs. Before that, we were temporarily listed as members of the mission. , To carry out the mission of visiting is also recommended by Mr. Shi. If you want to stay in charge of specific projects later, you must have a formally appointed local position to be justified."
Bai Letong suddenly said: "So even if we want to stay, the Executive Committee will not appoint us directly considering the feelings of the East China Sea Region. We have to wait for Lord Shi's recommendation first, and Lord Shi doesn't want to cause misunderstandings, so we have to wait for the appointment first." We expressed our attitude, but we are waiting for orders from Sanya.”
Tao Hongfang said: "It's roughly like this, but I think the parents have more concerns, and it's not as simple as we think."
Ning Zijing said: "In this way, one ring is connected with another, so this dead knot cannot be untied?"
Tao Hongfang said: "This is not a deadlock. Even if we stand still, Mr. Shi will not express his opinion, but the news of the mission's return has been reported to Sanya. Sooner or later, the Executive Committee will make arrangements for our stay. Now It’s just an opportunity to break the deadlock.”
But this opportunity came so quickly that even Tao Hongfang didn't expect it.
On the second day after the mission arrived in Zhoushan, another fleet sailed silently into the military port area of Dinghai Port. After a short while, a fast horse left the port and rushed to Yang Yun's official residence.After Yang Yun received the news, he immediately put down what he was doing and hurried to the pier.
The mission team got the news even later, so they went to Yang Yun's mansion by themselves according to the notice.Here they met their long-lost acquaintance, Bai Letong's father Bai Kesi.
As one of the few people with the highest status in this country, Bai Kesi's itinerary is a state secret, so Zhoushan was not notified in advance, and even Bai Letong didn't know about it.Seeing his father suddenly appearing in front of him, Bai Letong was even taken aback for a moment, and then quickly walked over to hug his father.Several other people also followed and bowed to Bai Letong to salute.
"I came in a hurry, so I didn't send a message to inform you in advance." Bai Kesi briefly mentioned his confidential itinerary, and changed the topic to their mission: "I heard from Yang Yun that you also just arrived in Zhoushan yesterday. Going out should be rewarding, right?"
Since Bai Letong was present, it was his turn to complete the reporting task, and everyone occasionally added a few words.Bai Kesi listened with great interest, and was obviously very concerned about Bai Letong's first overseas mission.
This lecture lasted a whole morning, and when it was lunch time, Bai Kesi still couldn't get enough of what he was listening to. It was Yang Yun's repeated invitations that made Bai Kesi decide to have dinner with this group of young people first.However, during the chat during the meeting, he still did not disclose why he came to Zhoushan suddenly.
