Chapter 393 Choice
In the Han Empire, there was an official position between the appointment of the central government and the hereditary commander of the local government. This official position was supervision.
The official position of supervision can only be seen in the border areas of the Han Empire. In order to facilitate the management of ethnic minorities and tribes in the border areas, eliminate border hidden dangers, and strengthen the authority of the Han Empire, the Han Empire set up the official position of supervision in many border areas.
At the beginning, the official position of the supervision was completely appointed by the central government of the Han Empire, and there was no hereditary existence. It was only in later practice that this official position gradually evolved into a hereditary system with a local leadership color. The son of the supervision continued to supervise, and then as long as the symbolic approval of the central government of the Han Empire was symbolic, the central government of the Han Empire, in order to stabilize the border area, also agreed with the hereditary position that had been formed for the long-term hereditary form of the supervisor.
Among Yan Liqiang's cognitive and knowledge structure in his previous life, the closest one to the supervisor was the governor of the colony. However, the supervisor directly commanded the army, and the military power was greater than that of the governor of the colonies in many countries that Yan Liqiang knew in his previous life. In the Han Empire, in addition to military power, this position also represented the Han Empire in charge of the diplomacy of the ethnic minorities in its command area and the appointment of tribal leaders. As a symbol of accepting the rule of the Han Empire, these supervision only required some symbolic taxes and tributes to the Han Empire every year.
The Han Empire established many guardians in many border areas in the southeast, west and northeast. These guardians are large and small. The area and area under which the large guardians can be equivalent to several states or states of the Han Empire, such as the southern guardians of the Han Empire, the Yibei guardians, the Heishan guardians, and the Baiyue guardians. The small guardians are more, and there are as numerous as cows. The size of the guardians is different. Some of the small guardians and the area under which they are governed may be only a county, the smallest guardians, or even a few villages and towns.
Therefore, the official position of Supervisor was not of rank in the Han Empire, because the best ones were comparable to those of the first-rank officials in the court, and they were in the separatist areas, but they were not as good as those of the county magistrate or even pavilion chiefs.
In the history of the northwest of the Han Empire, there was once a guardian palace, and that guardian palace was called Qi Yun guardian palace.
The jurisdiction of the Qiyun Supervisor Mansion includes the vast area of Qiyun Mountain and Gulang Grassland outside Ganzhou and Lanzhou. Before the Shatuqi tribe moved into the Gulang Grassland and east of Qiyun Mountain, five or six small tribes and clans migrated from various countries in the Western Regions, including Wusu, Cheshi, Pile, Shali, Dayue, etc. The Qiyun Supervisor Mansion was the leader of these small tribes and clans. However, later, with the migration of the Shatuqi tribe, all this changed accordingly. When the Shatuqi tribe settled down in the Gulang Grassland and Qiyun Mountain, the former Qiyun Supervisor Mansion was "took the riots". Overnight, the entire Qiyun Supervisor Mansion was killed without leaving any chickens and dogs. The former Qiyun Supervisor Mansion directly broke the roots, and the so-called Qiyun Supervisor Mansion became an empty shell.
In recent decades, Yan Liqiang saw in the book that the Han Empire had once again appointed a supervisor Qi Yun. However, just a few days after the Supervisor Qi Yun came out of Pingxi County, he and his accompanying people were put in boxes and sent to the Governor's Mansion. The reason was that he was "suddenly bandits". Since then, both the local and central governments of the Han Empire have chosen to forget the Qi Yun Supervisor's Mansion, just as the Qi Yun Supervisor's Mansion has never existed, but the official position has always existed...
The official position of Supervisor Qi Yun is hereditary. In the ruling system of the Han Empire, the entire Qiyun Mountains and the entire Gulang Grassland area are the jurisdiction of Supervisor Qi Yun, which is equivalent to the territory protected by Supervisor Qi Yun. From a broad perspective, this area is almost larger than Ganzhou and Lanzhou combined. Moreover, all the aliens living in this area, even the Seventh Tribes of Shatu, must be at least theoretically, be led by Supervisor Qi Yun.
It looks beautiful!
But in fact, everyone knows that the authority of the Han Empire in this area is close to zero. What is really useful in this area is Shatu Qi and their scimitar. The presence of the Han Empire in this area is already very low...
Yan Liqiang never expected that the second choice His Majesty the Emperor would give him was the position of Supervisor Qi Yun.
What does Your Majesty the Emperor mean? Should I take an honorary title back to Ganzhou for retirement, or do I hope that I can make a difference in this position, turn the strategies I mentioned to Sun Bingchen against the Shatu people into reality, and give him a big surprise. If it is the second one, Your Majesty the Emperor will look down on me too much.
The supervision of the Ganzhou Marine and Machinery Camp is a stable fatal flaw, with little variables, and it can be considered a high position, heavy power and low responsibility, with more money and less work and close to home. The so-called supervision of Qi Yun is a job between heaven and hell!
Yan Liqiang's brain was running quickly, weighing the pros and cons of choosing these two positions.
If the Han Empire is peaceful in the future, Yan Liqiang would rather choose the errands of the Ganzhou craftsman camp, and it would be nice to live and die until old. Now, we know that the entire Han Empire will change in four years, and the seven tribes of Shatu will take the opportunity to enter Ganzhou and baptize Pingxi County, Yan Liqiang's choice will gradually become clear...
From a certain perspective, Yan Liqiang was about to go to bed when His Majesty the Emperor brought the pillow.
"Report to Your Majesty, I am willing to return to Ganzhou and take over as the supervisor of Qi Yun!"
After thinking for a moment, Yan Liqiang said firmly to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Hahaha..." His Majesty the Emperor laughed and seemed very happy, "I did not read you wrong!"
"I have limited abilities and can only do my best. If you cannot meet your Majesty's expectations, please do not disappoint!"
"Of course I know the difficulty. I give you this position. You can advance or retreat. Just let it go. Don't have any worries! You are fifteen years old this year, and there is time. I can give you ten years to see your results!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"In addition to this position, this time when you return to Ganzhou, I am giving you 100,000 taels of silver to be the starting fee for your Qi Yun Supervisor's Mansion!" His Majesty the Emperor looked at Yan Liqiang, waved his hand, and said generously, "If you have any requirements, just ask!"
At this time, Yan Liqiang suddenly remembered the words of Eunuch Liu. He pondered for a moment and then spoke, "If you want to survive Qiyun Mountain and Gulang Grassland, you must have the support from the rear. Various weapons, materials, and money and grain are indispensable. My hometown Pingxi County, Ganzhou, is adjacent to Baishiguan and Shatu Seven Tribes. I want to ask Your Majesty to hand over the craftsmanship camp of Pingxi County, Ganzhou to me. Everything is up to me to be the foundation of my rear!"
His Majesty the Emperor smiled gently, "Hahaha, it's just a craftsman, I'll give you a small matter. I'll give you any other requirements?"
It was indeed the Supreme Master of Jiuwu, a Pingxi County craftsmanship camp, a huge territory, and so many people. This person gave it to him as soon as he opened his mouth. Yan Liqiang was secretly amazed in his heart and asked him to mention it again, but the more he asked, the greater the expectations of this person, the more interference he may have in the future, and the greater the rebound resistance in Ganzhou Hepingxi County. Therefore, after thinking about it, Yan Liqiang made a wise choice to end here.
"I only have this one requirement. I will slowly think of other things when I return to Ganzhou!"
"Okay!" His Majesty the Emperor once again gave Yan Liqiang a thumbs up. Yan Liqiang's grasp of the right position made him very satisfied. "Then when will you leave and return to Ganzhou?"
