Chapter 322. Shanghai County.
Inside, because of Wu Youwei's expatriate affairs, there was so much noise that the roof almost fell off.
It's all because the three places given by the Ministry of Officials are too unsatisfactory. Not to mention sending a rich place, at least a middle-level one, right?
As a result, the places where the pies are sent are all inferior!
As mentioned earlier, places are divided into upper class, lower class, and lower class.
The official position assigned to Wu Youwei is the county magistrate, and the assigned place is the inferior county.
There is not even a flat one in the three places, all of them are inferior, one is poorer than the other!
"This is obviously a public revenge!" As the name suggests, Yin Zhiren, this is what he can't stand the most. Public revenge is what he hates the most.
"Why is it public revenge?" Geng Yu, a member of the Ministry of Officials, was not happy: "Is this normal? Besides, it is not easy to make political achievements in places that are not barren?"
This is the rest of the selected places. In fact, there are two counties with a "flat" rating, but they have not been taken out.
Anyway, it will be the same if we send officials again next year.
Mainly, someone gave him a gift, and said, the more barren the county, the better.
Even the rotten fishing village in the south can be called a county.
Yin Zhi choked on what he said, what are these words?
"I remember that there are still two counties." Liu Dingzhi stroked his beard and asked the officials, "Why are you not selected?"
"Already, already dispatched." Geng Yu wiped his sweat and said to himself that he would find two random people to send over when he went back.
Who knows that at such an advanced age, his memory is quite good.
Both parties come and go, arguing over this matter.
The Imperial Academy is not convinced by the attitude of the Ministry of Officials towards the Imperial Academy, which obviously means suppressing it.
And Geng Yu of the Ministry of Officials did not follow the rules for some money, and dragged the entire staff into the water. Yao Kui, the minister, took office in the fifth year of Chenghua. A promotion is possible.
So like Wan An, Geng Yu also felt that he was underappreciated.
With Yao Kui on top, it would be difficult for him to make his mark, so Wan An agreed as soon as he said it.
As a result, the bureaucrats themselves were not in agreement.
Anyway, there was a mess, and finally Emperor Xianzong said: "Since it is an official, ask Wu Shidu what he means, and whether he has the confidence to manage the place well."
Everyone looked at Wu Youwei.
Wu Youwei looked at them: "I don't know yet, where am I sent?"
"Songjiang Mansion." Geng Yu said, "That's a good place.
Wu Youwei thought for a while: "I remember, in the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses, that, the Five Rats are from Songjiang Mansion.
"Hehe, Youwei, don't be ridiculous. The five rats live on the empty island. The scenery is beautiful, and the island is the king. How cool is it? But in fact, the Songjiang mansion is big." Yin Zhi sighed: " Large means that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it represents
Wu Youwei was puzzled: "Then, what county was assigned to me?
"Shanghai County." The other party told him: "Songjiang Mansion, Shanghai County."
Wu Youwei...! ! "
Shanghai, Xiashang was the land of Baiyue, the Spring and Autumn Period belonged to Wu State, and the Warring States Period successively belonged to Wu State, Yue State, and Chu State.
So Shanghai also has a separate name, called "Shen".
In the Qin and Han Dynasties and later, it belonged to Kuaiji County and Wu County, which belonged to Haiyan, Youquan and Louxian counties.
In the tenth year of Tang Tianbao, the prefect of Wu County approved the establishment of Huating County, and Shanghai began to have a relatively independent administrative division.The jurisdiction of Huating County is about the south of the old road of Wusong River in today's Shanghai area, and the west of the Chuansha-Huinan Datuan Line.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the mainland of Shanghai belonged to Huating County and Kunshan County, and the Chongming District belonged to Haimen County.
In the tenth year of Song Xining, Shanghai Affairs Office was established.
Jiading County was established on the ninth day of December in the tenth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Shanghai began to have two independent administrative divisions.
From the Yuan Dynasty to the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Huating County was promoted to a prefecture, and the following year it was renamed Songjiang Prefectural Government, and Huating County was still attached to it.
In the 29th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Shanghai County was established, and it was under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture.
Shanghai County covers an area of about [-] square kilometers. The county area is about the urban area south of the old Wusong River, most of Qingpu County, most of Minhang District, most of Pudong New Area and Nanhui County.
In the late Yuan Dynasty, there were Songjiang Prefecture, Jiading and Chongming prefectures, and Huating and Shanghai counties in the Shanghai area.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty still continued the distribution of the Yuan Dynasty, or in other words, continued the division of the Song Dynasty.
Although it is a county, this place is now a backcountry. It is true that the place is large, but it is also sparsely populated!
Not only is the land sparsely populated, but because the place is dilapidated, several county magistrates only knew how to scrape the land and transfer away from this dilapidated place, so no one made any achievements here, and they all left when the time came.
But this place is very famous in later generations!
Wu Youwei picked out his ears: "Where are you talking?"
"Songjiang Mansion, Shanghai County." Yin Zhi said angrily, "It's a place I've never heard of."
"I...I've heard of it." Wu Youwei swallowed: "Shanghai!"
In later generations, who has never heard of Shanghai?Have you ever watched "Shanghai Beach"? ?
"It's best if you've heard of it." Geng Yu was happy.
"I'm going!" Wu Youwei almost jumped up: "I'm going! I'm going to Shanghai!"
Wantong didn't know what Wu Youwei was thinking outside, but he felt that it was not very good, but he saw the British public.
In front of Wantong's eyes...
Wu Youwei had already accepted the position, but Yin Zhi and others thought that he was considerate of everyone and didn't want everyone to be entangled in this matter, and he had already sent a report, declaring to the world that he must not go back on his word.
So what to do with the court's laws?
So they all think that Wu Youwei sacrificed himself to fulfill the prestige of the court.
As a result, several people felt more pity for Wu Youwei in their hearts. Wu Youwei saw what they meant, and specially asked for a lot of preferential treatment for the place where he was about to take office.
For example, tax exemption for three years; for example, building a wharf; for example...
Various preferential policies, even to the extent that officials below the county magistrate can be placed on their own.
After everyone came out, some sighed; some were complacent; some were elated.
Wantong looked, there was no Wu Youwei!
"Where's Shidu Wu?" Wantong asked Yin Zhi.
"Inside, I still have something to say to the emperor." Yin Zhi patted Wantong on the shoulder, told him Wu Youwei's decision, and said, "Master Wan, thank you for what you did for Youwei. It's a pity that this child has suffered a loss for the sake of the court's face."
Wantong was at a loss.
What does this have to do with the face of the court?
I don't know what Wu Youwei talked about with Emperor Xianzong. Wantong has been waiting outside. After a while, the British Duke came, and there were two marquises and four uncles...
But all the nobles who have something to do with Wu Youwei have arrived.
The nobles begged to see, but the emperor said that he had something to do, so he just invited them to the side hall for tea and see you later.
After hearing this, the Duke of England, seeing Wantong's anxious look, comforted him: "Don't worry, the emperor will never throw people into the fire pit for a small matter."
"You don't know, I heard that Wu Shidu has agreed to send officials." Wan Tongdao: "It's still Shanghai County on the other side of Songjiang Mansion."
"Shanghai? What kind of place is that?" I've never heard of this name.
"The backcountry." Wantong sums it up in four words.
When the emperor received them, Wu Youwei had already walked to the door, just in time, the nobles came in with him.
They all came to intercede for Wu Youwei, allowing Wu Youwei to stay in Beijing, why Songjiang mansion?
Everyone's business is directed at him.
Wantong also looked at the emperor, he clearly agreed, how could he go back on his word.
Emperor Xianzong laughed when he heard about their intentions: "Everyone, please don't tell me about it. It's Wu Shidu's idea. He also wants to go out and have a look. Besides, if an official of Ming Dynasty wants to be promoted, he must There are not many who are not transferred, who have not served in the local government, and who have made achievements, are rarely of great use, understand?"
This is the emperor's intention to reuse Wu Youwei, but the reuse won't get him to such a remote place?
Wantong was very unhappy, but Wu Youwei was happy, still dreaming.
Shanghai
That classic song comes to mind:
Waves run... waves...!
...Thousands of miles of torrential rivers will never stop...It's all gone...Everything in the world is mixed with a torrential tide....
Night Shanghai... Night Shanghai..., you are a city that never sleeps...
And there is another phenomenon in later generations, that is, [-]% of the mayors of Shanghai who have done so have entered the capital...
It's beautiful, it's beautiful!
He couldn't hear what others said, and after they dispersed, Wan Tong grunted and shook Wu Youwei's arm vigorously.
Wu Youwei just came back to his senses, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled silly at Wantong: "Zhongming, I'm going to Shanghai!"
Wantong was taken aback for a moment, and then became even angrier: "What good things are you talking about?"
Wu Youwei blinked at him: "I said, I'm going to Shanghai!"
Great Shanghai!
However, when he went to Shanghai, there would no longer be any foreign markets in Shanghai, and some of them could only be the Daming trade zone.
Wantong looked at him: "Okay."
Emperor Xianzong watched from behind, and said with a smile, "I just said that Wu Shidu himself agreed, but is Shanghai really good? Wu Shidu has been happy for a long time."
"The minister saw that it was getting late, so I took my leave with Wu Shidu." Wantong was puzzled, but he couldn't show it in front of the emperor, so he had to take Wu Youwei to leave.
Emperor Xianzong agreed, and when the two of them had resigned, Emperor Xianzong put away his smile and asked Eunuch Huai En: "Zhongming seems to be a bit late in getting the news, what's going on?"
"It's Empress Bai..." Eunuch Wynn reported in a low voice.
"Let people look at it, don't startle the snake." Emperor Xianzong sat there thinking for a long time: "Why are the nobles come to intercede today? Could it be that Maid Wu deserves the protection of so many people?"
This posture has the meaning of forming cliques and forming cliques for personal gain.
As an emperor, this situation is too sensitive.
Eunuch Wynn's heart fluttered, but he bent down and bowed his head and said: "I am afraid that the Duke, Lord Hou, and uncle came to be lobbyists at the request of the younger generation. It is said that there are several young masters who have a good relationship with Wu Shidu. Doing business together, have you forgotten? Qingfeng Hou's family also has a share."
Emperor Xianzong thought: "Oh? That's right!"
Eunuch Wynn smiled and said, "Don't talk about other people's homes, even you, don't you have a share?"
"No, I really overthink it." Emperor Xianzong felt relieved: "Then why did Baizhen and the others stretch their hands to the officials?"
"This matter is a joke!" Eunuch Huai En said: "I heard that it is because Yao Kui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, did not know that Maid Wu was an ex-convict scout, and thought he was a good man who was dismissed from a certain class. It was approved, who knows that it is Wu Shidu who has not yet left the library?...."
Eunuch Wynn told Emperor Xianzong vividly that it was Bo Zhen and his group who were wrong anyway.
Emperor Xianzong touched his chin: "Bai..."
When Wu Youwei and Wantong left the palace gate, Wu Youwei squeezed Wantong's hand excitedly, and when they reached home, after closing the door, Wu Youwei hugged Wantong excitedly: "Wow! ! I'm going to Shanghai!"
"So happy?" I almost couldn't hold it back along the way, but there were many people outside, so I didn't completely relax until I got home.
"Yeah!" Wu Youwei said, "You don't know, Shanghai, in our time, was a famous city all over the world.
Wantong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's a good thing!"
"And in the past two years, there have been a lot of things, we'd better avoid it." Wu Youwei said in a low voice: "I don't know if history will be changed by me. If the eldest son of the emperor is safe and sound, it is very likely that he will be appointed Prince...
