Chapter 713 Su Zhe takes office

The next morning, Su Che came to the Privy Council. Yesterday Fanning asked him to report to the Privy Council early this morning.

Two officials stood at the gate of the Privy Council. One of them saw Su Che coming and hurriedly came up to ask, "Is you Professor Su?"

Su Che is still Professor Chenzhou now, so he naturally calls him Professor Su.

Su Che nodded, "I am!"

"Mr. Fan has gone to the Secretariat of the Secretariat and asked me to wait for Professor Su here. Please follow me."

Su Che followed the official into the Privy Council. The official smiled and introduced: "In Xiacheng Town, it is Sima, the north side of the Privy Council. I am responsible for handling various induction procedures for you."

"Then I'll trouble Cheng Sima!"

When he walked into the official room, Cheng Zhen asked Su Che to sit down and asked the tea boy to serve tea. He took out a stack of documents and said with a smile: "Although the governor of the Military Control Prefecture was directly appointed by Xianggong Fan, the necessary procedures still have to be handled, after all, he is the official appointed chief official."

Su Che bowed and said, "I can understand, I am willing to cooperate with Sima Cheng to handle various procedures."

Cheng Zhen smiled slightly, "First of all, I want to explain that Governor Su is affiliated with the Grand Marshal's Mansion of the Northern Expedition. Now Sima Zhangqi of the Grand Marshal's Mansion is still in Kunzhou, so I will handle some daily affairs on his behalf. Governor Su has nothing to do with the Privy Council."

"I see!"

Su Che then realized that appointing him as the governor of Yingzhou had nothing to do with the Privy Council, but was under the jurisdiction of the Marshal's Office of the Peking University. The Marshal's Office of the Peking University is currently in Youzhou, and some affairs in the capital were handled by the Privy Council.

Cheng Zhen placed several documents in front of Su Che, "These documents need to be filled in by Governor Su, and the signatures below will be given, and then I will talk about some things."

Only then did Su Che notice that the top document was the "Appointment Registration Document for the Office of the Marshal Zhengbei Office".

He quickly filled out the contents in it, including name, age, hometown, imperial examination status, current official position, specific resume, etc. Su Che signed the last signature.

Cheng Zhen took the form and looked at it. He filled in the plan for any position and said, "As the governor of Yingzhou."

After filling out the form, Cheng Zhen smiled and said, "Before the stamp takes effect, I must explain some situations to you. If you feel that it is dangerous, then this document can be invalidated."

Su Che nodded, he was mentally prepared.

Cheng Zhen then said slowly: "Yingzhou belonged to the Liao Kingdom a month and a half ago. More than a month ago, the Song army recovered Youzhou. The 20,000 Liao troops stationed in Yingzhou retreated to Datong Prefecture and gave up Yingzhou. They are currently occupied by the Song army. There are currently three counties in Yingzhou, one is Jincheng County, the prefecture capital, and the other is Heyin County, which is the county of the Heyin Incident in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The third is Hunyuan County. The total population of Yingzhou is 63,000, including three major tribes of Han, Khitan, and Qiang, as well as Dangxiang, Xi people and Bohai people. The structure is relatively complex, and the Han people account for about 40%, which is the largest tribe in Yingzhou."

Seeing that Su Che was very focused, Cheng Zhen continued: "Yingzhou and Datong Prefecture are both on the same plain. The Liao cavalry of Datong Prefecture can sweep south at any time. There is no advantage of terrain defense, and only the walls of Jincheng County can defend. However, the Song army currently stationed 80,000 troops in Ying County, and the veteran General Yang Wenguang personally led the army. The Liao army had only 20,000 troops in Datong Prefecture. If a war broke out, the Liao army should be on the defensive. In short, Ying County is still in a state of war, so it was not handed over to the court, but the officials were directly appointed by the Grand Marshal's Office."

After Cheng Zhen finished speaking, he took out another statement and said with a smile: "If Governor Su has no objection to what I said just now and is willing to continue to serve as Governor Yingzhou, then sign and seal it here, and then I will stamp it. After stamping it, it will be officially appointed. In the afternoon, Governor Su can take the appointment letter to the Ministry of Personnel to handle the post of the Ministry of Personnel. Then we make an appointment to leave, and I will send someone to send Governor Su to Yingzhou to take office."

"Can I see Mr. Fan again?"

"Of course I have to see you. When Su Xianggong's Ministry of Personnel has completed the procedures, it is still early now. Why not accompany you to the Ministry of Personnel now? I will complete the procedures this morning."

After saying that, Cheng Zhen asked Su Zhe to sit down for a while, and he hurriedly went to stamp the seal.

…………

At noon, Cheng Zhen brought Su Che to Fanning's official room. Fanning walked out and asked with a smile: "Have the procedures been completed?"

Cheng Zhen bowed and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything has been done, and the Ministry of Personnel is extremely smooth."

Fan Ning smiled and said, "The Ministry of Personnel is so anxious to place officials. We will free up a place for it. Of course they cannot ask for it."

After saying that, Fan Ning asked Su Che again, "Have Ziyou had lunch?"

Su Che shook his head, Fan Ning smiled and said, "Then let's go together and talk to you about Yingzhou."

Fan Ning did not invite Cheng Zhen, and Cheng Zhen said goodbye tactfully. Fan Ning took Su Che to Zhulou. Fan Ning didn't want to go to the Yashi room, so the shopkeeper found them a good seat by the window on the second floor.

Su Che was a little restrained. After all, they were chatting and laughing freely yesterday, but today Fanning became his boss, which made him a little difficult to get used to.

Fanning saw his restraint and smiled and said, "I went to the East Palace yesterday and found that the East Palace was still dead. Perhaps it was only the time we were in the East Palace that was the most lively time. In this blink of an eye, six or seven years have passed, and time passed so quickly."

Fanning’s reminder suddenly reminded Su Che that when he was in the East Palace, Fanning was also his boss!

His mentality suddenly calmed down and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "At the time in the East Palace, many people envied us, saying that we were from the Dragon Sect, and after the emperor ascended the throne, we were just around the corner, but in the end I became a professor in Chenzhou..."

Fan Ning waved his hand, "You should not be so mentally. The setbacks in recent years are wealth for you, and you should be grateful. Moreover, the court's official system reform, although you have served as a professor in Chenzhou, you are still a sixth-rank official. So this year you go to the Ministry of Personnel to go through the formalities. How can a professor in Chenzhou become a governor? This is your qualifications and an official rank. There is no problem at all as a governor."

Su Che nodded silently, and Fan Ning said slowly: "I asked you to go to Yingzhou not because I was just a little hot. I was actually thinking about you for a long time, but I didn't think clearly whether to let you go to Pingzhou or Yingzhou? I just thought clearly that you wanted you to go to Yingzhou yesterday."

Su Che asked carefully: "Can you tell me about my job? Why is it not suitable for me to go to Pingzhou?"

Fan Ning shook his head and smiled, "It's not that Pingzhou is not suitable for you, but that it is not suitable for all civil servants. Pingzhou is not stable and not safe, and military control must be strengthened. I don't want to hear the news that the new governor was shot with a crossbow on the street. Of course, this is just a joke, but it is really not suitable to settle down and manage it there. This is why I didn't consider asking you to go to Pingzhou."

After saying that, Fanning picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for himself and Su Che. Su Che's mind was obviously not about drinking, and he didn't even realize that it was he who should be pouring wine for his boss.

He lowered his head for a moment and asked again, "What should I do when I go to a humble position?"

"Yingzhou, like other Liao areas, is also half of the Han and Khitans. Before that, the Khitans were above and Han people were below. Now that the Song Dynasty has recovered Yingzhou, it has become Han people above and Khitans are below. This is not what the court wants to see. After you go to office, you only need to do two things. First, the Han people and the Khitans live in equality and harmony, and the Khitan people regard themselves as Song people; second, to develop agriculture and education, you must be self-sufficiency in food. In addition, I hope that the first Khitan imperial examination scholar in the Song Dynasty will come out of Yingzhou."

"I will definitely do my best!"

Fan Ning still shook his head, "It's not about doing his best, but you must do it. This is a rare opportunity for you. Once you make Yingzhou well-managed and become a model of the former Liao Dynasty, it will become your greatest political capital. Needless to say, you will benefit a lot in the future and even become the cornerstone of your prime minister."

"I understand, I will definitely do it!"
