"Don't look at me like this. My brother is also doing it for your own good. As long as you are willing to go to Baoding, I will report to the emperor and add you as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the title of Censor of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Governor-General and the Governor.
how?"
The rich man first determines his personality.
He had absolutely no other thoughts, he just wanted to repay the six sons for their hard work and sweat during this period.
There is no problem with the procedure. The Minister of War can already serve as the governor. This time Jia Liuping rebelled against Zhalantai and protected him with merit. It is legal, reasonable and reasonable for him to be further promoted to the first-level governor of Zhili.
From Yipin, he was actually the most powerful official among the civil servants of the Qing Dynasty.
The first-class Grand Master, Grand Tutor, Grand Protector, Grand Scholar, General Jianwei, etc. all hold empty positions and are generally granted posthumous titles.
The powerful official of the Kangxi Dynasty, Obai, was only a Shaobao when he was alive.
That is to say, as long as Jia Liu agrees, he will be able to jump from lieutenant general, commander of the Nine Gates, to commander of the general corps and chairman of the provincial governments of Hebei, Henan, and Tianjin provinces.
Li Wei, Li Hongzhang, and Yuan Shikai all held this position. During the Republic of China, Zhang Zongchang, Han Fuju, and Li Jinglin also held similar positions.
That is to say, no matter how badly Jia Liu behaves, at least one Zhang Zongchang will not be able to escape.
He officially became a feudal official of the Qing Dynasty at a young age. As long as he didn't want to make any further progress, he could basically just sit back and enjoy himself.
Letting Jia Liu go to Baoding to be the governor of Zhili was also the intention of the rich man's brother-in-law Iletu, but this time the old rich man agreed to his brother-in-law's proposal because he also wanted to get back the important position of the nine-men admiral.
If you want something, you must exchange it for something.
It happened that Jia Liu himself wanted to keep Yang Jingsu as the governor of Zhili. The old rich man thought why not just exchange the governor of Zhili for his six sons and get out.
Both brothers stay in Beijing, and friction is inevitable over time. It is better for one to be outside and the other to be inside.
Don't tell me, Jia Liu was really moved.
Governor of Zhili, that is a good job that many people can never dream of doing!
Moreover, it sounds majestic.
In terms of land management area, the Governor-General of Shaanxi-Gansu has the largest area, because the Governor-General of Shaanxi-Gansu manages millions of square kilometers of land in the northwest.
In terms of fiscal revenue, the governor of Liangjiang is the richest, because the tax revenue of Liangjiang and the three provinces accounts for one-third of the national treasury revenue.
The governor of Sichuan controlled the most troops and horses, because the Jinchuan War caused the governor of Sichuan to control a large number of troops and horses. In fact, the military power of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu was greater than that of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.
But when it comes to military and political strength and prestige, the Governor of Zhili ranks first.
After all, the Governor-General of Zhili is in charge of Hebei, Henan, Tianjin and parts of Shandong, which is equivalent to the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Zhili outside the capital, including the east and west tombs of the two emperors.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one boss in Gyeonggi Province.
The military industrial park that Jia Liu plans to build is located in Tianjin, and the coal and iron ore resources developed by Daqing Industry are also in Hebei.
Originally, he was referring to Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, and Lao Yang of Zhili helped him find the supporting facilities. But when he became the governor of Zhili, Xu Ji and Lao Yang became his subordinates, and all civil and military officials in Zhili had the power of life and death.
In his hands, there is no need to train agents, he can do it himself.
However, this Governor-General has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is definitely that Qianlong can go out to sea and show off his skills.
The disadvantage is that Jia Liu has to go to Baoding to work, and his control and influence over the capital will definitely be greatly weakened.
Although the Governor of Zhili is a feudal official, he is essentially a local official. Even if he serves the imperial court in Zhili, many things are still controlled by the imperial court. It is not like he wants to kick the imperial court away.
Simple things.
The biggest worry is that after he leaves the capital, things may change in the capital.
The first change is that the rich man killed the fourth devil and made the short-lived devil Twelve the emperor;
The second change is the reinstatement of the Fourth Japs.
No matter what the change is, it will be a big trouble for him to replace the Jia family.
It seems necessary to speed up the development of Jingling, completely break the Feng Shui dragon vein of Aixinjueluo, and turn the Baolong clan into a love-burial clan.
"People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret stories. My eldest brother asked me to go to Baoding to be the governor. It seems that I am promoting my brother to be a border official. But how can I think that this is because my eldest brother sees me as an eyesore and wants to drive me out of the capital."
Before Jia Liu said this, he took the gun that the old rich man had placed on the table and took it to a corner out of his reach.
Seeing this, the old rich man really wanted to say a few bad words.
Jia Liu, who is Batulu, actually drew his gun a few beats slower than the rich man in his fifties. This problem is very serious.
If there is really something wrong with the rich man's gun, the consequences will be disastrous.
Maybe future generations will be able to make several versions of the assassination case, saying that Jia Shikai stole Fulehun's old wife.
Forging iron requires one's own hard work. Jia Liuxun had to quickly set up Tianjin's military industry system and come up with a small pistol that could be fired by pulling the trigger. In this way, he could not draw the gun as fast as Lao Fu, but at least he could shoot faster than him.
"Yes, my brother wants to drive you out of the capital because it is not suitable for you to stay in the capital."
The old rich man actually didn't hide anything and was quite candid.
The two brothers also knew the specific reasons.
Jia Liu was a little depressed. He took the pulp-coated Dorgon smoking stick from the old rich man's hand and took two sips without hesitation. He made a decision in his heart.
"I can go to Baoding, but is it appropriate for me to be the governor at my age?"
In terms of ability, Jia Liu definitely has it. He can be the emperor, not just the governor.
The problem is that he doesn't seem to be qualified in terms of qualifications.
It was common practice for young people to become high-ranking officials during the Qianlong dynasty, such as Fukang'an, Mingliang, Feng Sheng'e and other Manchurians who served as first- and second-rank officials in their teens. Feng Sheng'e, who was one year older than Jia Liu, became a marshal-level Dingxi general.
There are no governors under the age of 20.
According to the rules, those who serve as governor must have a minimum age of thirty-five or above.
He, Jia Liu, is still too young.
The old rich man disagreed: "What's wrong with you? No one in the court knows about your talent?"
He then said some words of praise for Liu Zi's wise brother, and Jia Liu nodded repeatedly.
Finally, three conditions are proposed.
The first thing is that the restoration of the title of Emperor Dorgon and the restoration of the Prince Heshuo inheritance of the three Dorgon brothers cannot be changed as promised by the old man.
The old rich man agreed without batting an eye.
Jia Liu nodded: "The second thing is, I want to set up a commercial office in Tianjin."
The old rich man didn't quite understand what Tongshang Yamen meant.
Jia Liu explained that a management agency for trade with overseas countries should be set up in Tianjin. It could be a third-level establishment or a fourth-level establishment. It would integrate diplomacy, coastal defense, and customs.
"Is this going to restart multi-port trade?"
The old rich man frowned. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it had been implementing a multi-port trade policy, mainly opening one port in each of the four provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.
However, in the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign, British merchants repeatedly violated the Qing's prohibitions. Hongli believed that continuing trade with multiple ports would affect the Qing's rule, so he ordered the closure of the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu customs, and only retained the Guangdong customs for foreign trade.
It is now Guangzhou Thirteen Lines.
The imperial court called it one port for trade.
Liuzi Xiandi now wants to set up a trade office in Tianjin, which is equivalent to trading with Western merchants in Tianjin, the gateway to the capital. Will this pose a threat to the security of the capital?
"The Guangdong side is for Nanyang trade, the Tianjin side is for Beiyang trade, and there is a port for the North and South oceans. Why not?"
Jia Liu must make the old rich understand the benefits of trade.
Generally speaking, corrupt officials are particularly interested in trade, while honest officials are the opposite.
Corrupt officials earn more money, while honest officials cut expenditure more.
It may not be accurate, but it's generally not much different.
"... Nowadays, the national treasury is empty, many places in Huguang and Fujian are deploying troops, and it is difficult to raise money and food. My eldest brother is the new foreman of military aircraft, and he has been welcomed by everyone. However, if he cannot solve the urgent needs of the Qing Dynasty, how can this foreman position be secure?"
In order to get the rich man to agree, Jia Liu gritted his teeth and proposed that after Tianjin opened its doors to trade, the trade tariffs received by the imperial court and Zhili would be 50/50.
Jia Liu raised the initial investment by himself, and the old rich man only needed to give him the approval document.
