This is also due to the fact that even though so far, the Supervisory Offices at all levels have arrested more than 5,000 officials at all levels, they still have not encountered too many obstacles in various places.
Because instead of opposing it, many people are pushing this anti-corruption storm to continue.
In this situation, Li Xuan felt relieved!
It seems that most officials are very smart and deeply understand the principle that other people's misfortune is their own opportunity.
Although he may also be affected, officialdom battles are like wars, either you die or I live, and the risks are huge. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted, it is impossible without taking risks.
Among those who benefited, Chen Lifu was also included!
According to convention, Chen Lifu's term in Shanghai's special county will be more than one year before he will be evaluated and then tested for promotion. But now large-scale corruption has occurred in Jiangnan Province.
Huo Shouqi was transferred to Western Liaoning as governor, the prefect of Suzhou was beheaded, and the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture was transferred back to the Ministry of Agriculture in Gyeonggi Province to serve as the director of the Forestry Department...
The Forestry Department is an organization that few ordinary people in the empire even know about. From this, you will know how powerful this organization is. It cannot compete with the Department of Agriculture in the Ministry of Agriculture, which is in charge of grain production and fields at home and abroad.
Immigration, the Immigration and Reclamation Department, and the Animal Husbandry Department in charge of animal husbandry, especially part of the horse administration business, are comparable!
The current biggest task of the Forestry Department is to plant trees in places with severe soil erosion such as the north and northwest...
Naturally, the real power of such an organization in the Tang Empire was not that great!
From a local power player to the director of an idle organization, the career of the former magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture can basically be declared over.
After the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture was transferred, a new prefect was naturally needed!
According to the previous magistrates of Songjiang Prefecture, except for Xiang Hanyi, who was airborne from the central government, most of the others were promoted from within Jiangnan Province, and the Shanghai County Magistrate was the most competitive candidate.
Since the founding of the empire, two of the four Songjiang Prefecture magistrates were directly promoted from Shanghai County.
And Chen Lifu became the third one!
When Chen Lifu received the appointment letter from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was still worried about being implicated in the anti-corruption storm, but he thought that within a few days, he had been appointed as the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture.
Although Chen Lifu had long expected that after his term as magistrate of the special county in Shanghai ended, he would successfully move from the third rank to become a high-ranking imperial official.
But he felt that this time should be one and a half years, or even two years later.
However, now, due to an anti-corruption storm, he has become a third-rank official at least a year and a half ahead of schedule, and he also holds one of the most important third-rank positions in the world: the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture.
When receiving the imperial edict issued in the form of an imperial edict, Chen Lifu looked serious and led all the officials to kneel down. However, after receiving the imperial envoy from the Ministry of official affairs that night, when he returned to his residence alone, he could not help laughing wildly at the night sky.
Endless!
"I, Chen Lifu, am here!"
As a man determined to assist the Holy King and create a peaceful and prosperous age, he has always maintained his ideals since he entered the officialdom!
Whether he is working in the tax department, the finance department, or in the local Songjiang Prefecture or Shanghai, he firmly holds this belief.
Compared with other officials, he attaches more importance to political achievements, and at the same time, he also avoids any stains. He is strict with himself at this moment, so that one day he can enter the cabinet, or even enter the imperial study, and then bring down the many treacherous ministers in the court.
Kill all the liu and bring peace to the empire. Finally, he will personally assist the Holy Emperor to create a true peaceful and prosperous age.
Of course, the prosperous age of Xuanping in his mind must be very different from the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. For example, he has always felt that the attitude towards the gentry, especially the tax system where the gentry and gentry pay taxes as one, is
Very nonsense.
If one day he has enough power, he must exert all his strength to bring back the empire's increasingly crooked tax policy and many other messy policies.
Finally create an unprecedented prosperous age!
Of course, the prosperous age in his mind is different from the prosperous age in the mind of the Holy Emperor Li Xuan.
However, that is a matter for the future. Now, in order to realize his ideals, Chen Lifu has to continue to bear the humiliation and do things he does not want to do, such as suppressing the traditional landlords and gentry, encouraging industry and commerce, and setting up industry!
To be honest, he is actually not willing to do this, but it is a pity that in today's environment, the only way to get promoted is by doing this!
The world is not ancient, forcing lovers into prostitution!
Naturally, few people know about Chen Lifu's ideals. Even his wife only knows that he wants to assist the Holy Lord to create a prosperous world. But what kind of prosperous world Chen Lifu's inner political philosophy is?
unknown.
All Mrs. Chen could see were the bamboo pictures that Chen Lifu often drew!
Drawing to express aspirations is something that many literati like to do. As an aside, after so many years of practice, Chen Lifu’s bamboo drawings are quite good. In contemporary times, there are few people who can compare to his bamboo drawings.
The painting is better.
A piece of bamboo painting that has been exiled can be sold for several hundred yuan!
This kind of Chen Lifu is contradictory!
But outsiders don’t know!
In Li Xuan's view, Chen Lifu is almost a weirdo. According to Hantong's secret report, this man has been around for many years and has never been greedy for a penny, nor has he used his power to benefit the family industry. Such a person is very important in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.
Here, it’s simply weird!
In addition, this person has a good ability to do things. He is not merciless at all when he needs to kill people. He killed thousands of people when he was working in the tax department. When he was working in the finance department, a securities reform plan led to the death of countless people.
When he was serving at the local level, he was also very good at developing the industrial and commercial economy. When developing industry and commerce, he also took the initiative to develop agriculture in a balanced way.
Any person in power would like such an official!
Li Xuan is no exception!
So this time, even though he still had one and a half years left to serve as magistrate of a special county in Shanghai, Li Xuan still personally gave instructions to make Chen Lifu the new magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture.
Li Xuan hoped to use Chen Lifu to maintain the sustained economic development of Songjiang Prefecture, especially Shanghai, and at the same time rectify the administrative problems of Songjiang Prefecture. After all, this man was the director of the Inspection Division of the Taxation Department, and he killed many people back then.
Quite a few.
After receiving the appointment, Chen Lifu felt that he was one step closer to his goal!
That night, he stood by the window and looked at Jinling City in the distance, muttering: "I will prove that you are all wrong!"
Chen Lifu suddenly changed his identity and became the new magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture. His rank was also raised one level to the third rank.
However, although his rank was improved and he became the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, he still stayed in Shanghai.
Because the prefect’s Yamen of Songjiang Prefecture is established in Shanghai!
The Magistrate's Office of Songjiang Prefecture was only over a thousand meters away from the ad hoc county office in Shanghai where he originally worked, so that day he was accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and went to the Magistrate's Office to take up his post.
After a simple handover, Chen Lifu sat in the huge office on the second floor of the prefect's Yamen!
The Songjiang Prefecture Magistrate's Office was not located in the original Huating County, but was moved to Shanghai. However, it was not located in the old Shanghai city, but was located along the Huangpu River along the Avenue in the south of the old city. It was established in the 9th year of Xuanping.
Designed and built at that time, it consists of three buildings in total. They are all double-story buildings and can accommodate more than 300 people working at the same time. It is the political core building of the entire Songjiang Prefecture.
The county government offices of Shanghai's ad hoc counties are still in the old city, using official buildings from the pre-Ming Dynasty.
Spacious and bright, these are the biggest features of Songjiang Prefecture’s Yamen. In addition, it is right on the Huangpu River. Standing in the office on the second floor, through the large glass windows, you can clearly see the numerous people passing by on the Huangpu River.
Boats and carriages can also be seen passing by on the road along the river.
Standing here, you can almost intuitively feel the prosperity of Shanghai!
But standing here, Chen Lifu was thinking not only of the prosperity of Shanghai, but of the entire Songjiang Prefecture.
Although Shanghai occupies an absolute proportion of the economy in Songjiang Prefecture, it is only a special county under Songjiang Prefecture. Moreover, the land area of Shanghai County is actually not large. After many developments, one business zone and two
An industrial zone, plus a North Bank Development Zone, have actually developed almost all the developable land in Shanghai County.
And these areas are actually nothing to the entire Songjiang Prefecture!
Today's Songjiang Prefecture has jurisdiction over Shanghai County, Huating County, Qingpu County, and Jiading County. In addition, although Songjiang Prefecture has also established Nanhui County in the past two years, it has been under discussion and has not yet been determined. Therefore, there are currently a total of
Just four counties.
It is worth noting that among the four counties, the total area of Shanghai County is actually not small, but a lot of it belongs to the land on the east bank of the Huangpu River. Because this part is separated by the Huangpu River, it is actually difficult to carry out large-scale development.
If it were easy to develop, Chen Lifu would not have developed the north bank development zone before, but would directly develop the east bank of the Huangpu River.
More importantly, from the perspective of the entire Songjiang Prefecture, the current economic development of various regions is very unbalanced. Shanghai County is unique, accounting for almost more than 95% of the prefecture's industrial output value, and also provides more than
More than 95 percent tax.
But the situation in several other counties is appalling!
