Chapter 2743

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 middle of the game and have limited knowledge, so it is indeed difficult to see the whole picture of the chess game. Tao Hongfang knows slightly more information than his companions, so the range he can see is wider.

In the past nearly thirty years, Haihan's political and economic center has always been on Hainan Island. However, due to cultural heritage, Haihan's external expansion has always focused on the areas ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty.

Limited to Haihan's own talent pool, in the early days only a few capable and enterprising travelers were sent to open up territories along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Now this group of people have become feudal officials in various places, with local military and political power in their hands.

The power actually controlled is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When local officials have a large amount of resources in their hands, so much that they can even support their independent establishment of a country, and the executive committee finds it difficult to maintain effective control over them, then the political structure of the Haihan Empire may be out of balance. But now

The development trend of the country is moving rapidly in this dangerous direction. Large empires that have been internally divided due to excessive expansion have been common in history. The time travelers do not want to let the empires they have painstakingly created

The country has also become a negative example for future generations.

The generation currently in power is very clear about where its 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 leaders to maintain stability, but no one can guarantee that it will survive again.

In a generation or two, will there be some daring people who will take action to split the empire by relying on the separatist power formed by the family's long-term local operations?

The Executive Committee has been trying various methods to strengthen its control over the empire's territory. It plans to move the capital from south to north and arranges for local officials like Shi Diwen to serve on the Executive Committee. The ultimate goal is to stabilize the political situation and gradually improve it.

The country's power system. However, people will have selfish thoughts after all. In this process, it is natural that the executive committee and local officials will inevitably make their own moves and repeatedly pull and test each other's attitude.

Tao Hongfang's official task is to inspect the commercial affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, as well as the preparations for the capital relocation plan, but he also shoulders other tasks, such as understanding Shi Diwen's governing strategy, the officialdom situation in the Donghai Region, etc. Of course,

Well, his identity is not that of a spy to spy on information, but a special envoy sent by the Executive Committee. He does not need to do things secretly, he only needs to obtain various information from local officials in an open and honest manner.

Tao Hongfang did not encounter any resistance during this period, but he knew that for the officialdom of the Donghai Region, his group were all outsiders. If he just took a stroll in the Donghai Region, he would return home after all.

When traveling to Sanya, it's natural to say hello, hello, hello to everyone, and you'll be greeted by smiling faces wherever you go. But if you want to stay, or even work in the Donghai Region, you may not be so likable.

Tao Hongfang did not speak too clearly, but Ning Zijing already understood: "If we choose to stay, some people may regard the executive committee as placing people in the Donghai region to disrupt the balance of local officialdom.

These sounds may also reach our ears. So Shi Chengwu wants us to know that his father will not care about such things."

Bai Letong said: "If that's the case, then as long as Mr. Shi doesn't appoint local officials to us, won't there be no problem?"

Tao Hongfang smiled and said: "The wonderful thing about this is that we are just here to inspect the Donghai region. We have no superior or subordinate relationship with the local officials, and we have no right to directly interfere in local military and political affairs. We were temporarily listed as members of the mission before.

, to carry out the mission, it is also recommended by Mr. Shi. If you want to stay and take charge of specific projects, you must have a formally appointed local position to be justified. "

Bai Letong said suddenly: "So even if we want to stay, the Executive Committee, taking into account the feelings of the Donghai Region, is inconvenient to appoint us directly. We have to wait for Master Shi's recommendation first, and Master Shi doesn't want to cause misunderstandings, and has to wait first."

We have expressed our attitude, but we are waiting for instructions from Sanya."

Tao Hongfang said: "That's roughly the case, but I think our fathers have more factors to worry about, and it's not as simple as we think."

Ning Zijing said: "So, if you put one link inside another, wouldn't it be impossible to untie this knot?"

Tao Hongfang said: "This is not a dead end. Even if we stand still and Master Shi does not express his position, 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 a chance to break the deadlock.”

But this opportunity came so quickly that even Tao Hongfang did not expect it.

On the second day after the mission arrived in Zhoushan, another fleet sailed quietly into the military port area of ​​Dinghai Port. Soon, horses left the port and rushed to Yang Yun's official residence. Yang Yun received

After hearing the news, he immediately put down what he was doing and hurried to the dock.

The delegation received the news even later, so they followed the notice and went to Yang Yun's official residence. Here they met a long-lost acquaintance, Bai Letong's father, Bai Kesi.

As one of the highest-ranking people in the country, Bai Kesi's itinerary is a state secret, so Zhoushan was not notified in advance, and even Bai Letong had no idea. Seeing his father suddenly appear in front of him,

Bai Letong was even stunned for a moment, and then he quickly walked over and hugged his father. Several others followed him and bowed to greet Bai Letong.

"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 turned the topic to their mission: "I heard from Yang Yun that you just arrived in Zhoushan yesterday. This time

You should gain a lot from going out, right?"

Since Bai Letong was present, it was naturally his turn to complete the reporting task, and everyone occasionally added a few words. Bai Kesi listened with interest, and was obviously very concerned about the process of Bai Letong's first overseas mission.

This lecture lasted a whole morning. At lunch time, Bai Kesi was still satisfied with what he heard. It was only after Yang Yun invited him several times that Bai Kesi decided to have dinner with these young people first. However, during the chat, he still

It was not disclosed why he suddenly came to Zhoushan.
