Chapter 145: The way is far
There are 46 provincial administrative units throughout the empire.
Except for the four first-level cities, there are 42 real provinces.
Although from the perspective of administrative level, these forty-two provinces are no different.
But if we go into details such as economy, people's livelihood, education and even military, there is a gap between the forty-two provinces.
For example, from the perspective of economic scale, the best province can even reach the worst province more than ten times!
The western mourning province is not the worst among the forty-two provinces in the Empire, but if you have to classify it, you will definitely be ranked one of the worst.
For all administrative officials of the empire, if they were promoted from low to high, then it would be very happy to be promoted from a mayor of a second-level city to the worst provincial senior official.
But if there is a provincial level transfer, it will be disgusting from a relatively economically developed province to another economically backward province.
So six years ago, when Lu Yuan, who was originally a senior official in the Far East Province of the Empire, was suddenly transferred to the Western Mo Province to serve as a senior official by the imperial emperor. Everyone believed that the long journey of the Holy Jun Zhenglong must have been because he had no idea why he suddenly lost the emperor's trust.
Because the Far East provinces are among the forty-two provinces of the Empire, their comprehensive strength is enough to rank among the top five!
Normally, with Lu Yuan's position in the emperor's mind, it doesn't take too long to serve as a senior official in the Far Eastern province, and he will be directly promoted and enter the center.
However, I didn't expect that in everyone's mind, the political future was bright and I would suddenly be exiled by His Majesty to a remote place like the Moxi Province.
And a full six years have passed, and there is no sign of inquiries or revival.
So much so that in the eyes of some big shots, the value of Luyuan has already fallen sharply compared to six years ago.
In their opinion, Lu Yuan's life is probably only going to waste his years as a senior official in the western province of Moxi Province, and it is impossible to go further.
However, this view has not had any negative impact on Lu Yuan's leadership in the western desert province.
When everyone decided that Lu Yuan might have been forgotten by His Majesty the Emperor and always sat in the position of a senior official in the western Mori Province, the officials within the western Mori Province were more awe of Lu Yuan.
The reason is very simple. Although a superior who may be transferred at any time can still receive the superficial respect of his subordinates, it is basically unlikely that he will follow him sincerely.
Who makes the position under your butt unstable?
The deterrence and benefits it can bring to subordinates will naturally be limited.
On the contrary, Lu Yuan's situation, although it made the real upper class of the empire begin to alienate and despise him, the bureaucrats in the western desert province did not dare to have any other thoughts or ideas.
So much so that in this context, Lu Yuan has truly established absolute authority in the western desert province in recent years.
The control over the western desert province has also reached an unprecedented level that has not been reached by several senior officials in recent years.
Even so, Lu Yuan was not very happy.
Absolute control of the western desert province can certainly be considered a good political achievement and is sufficient to reflect one's own abilities.
But there was no clear progress in the task that His Majesty the Emperor secretly entrusted to him.
For six years, even though some clues were found, these clues were indistinguishable and it was difficult to form a systematic discovery.
In Lu Yuan's eyes, it is equivalent to wasting time.
But things seem to have taken a turn for the better today!
A communication from the Imperial Palace made the long road that has been a little frowning recently suddenly become clear.
Although it did not come from Your Majesty's direct communication, it was no different from Your Majesty's sending it.
Although the focus is on the newly assigned tasks by Your Majesty, Cao Deying also mentioned that Your Majesty has planned to transfer him from the western desert province to the imperial capital in the near future, but the specific time has not been determined.
This is of course great news for Lu Yuan!
The first issue that needs to be considered now is of course to successfully complete the latest tasks arranged by His Majesty the Emperor.
While thinking about these things in his mind, the office door was knocked directly. After Lu Yuan responded, he saw his accompanying adjutant walking in with a bitter look on his face.
"What's wrong? Didn't you ask you to contact Canglan City? What's the expression? Does Canglan City dare to reject the order you gave?"
Asked strangely, the road was far away.
"Sir, I...I didn't contact the mayor of Canglan City."
The adjutant said with a wry smile.
"You didn't contact the mayor of Canglan City? What does it mean?"
Lu Yuan didn't react for a while.
"This... sir, Qiu Pengzu, the former mayor of Canglan City and the former first deputy mayor have been escorted to the imperial capital. Now the person who is in charge of the municipal government in Canglan City is the second deputy mayor of Canglan City. As far as I know... that person who is at the age of the station will definitely retire at the end of this year. So when it comes to work, he will always delay any delay."
The adjutant said, while sneaking into Lu Yuan's expression.
But no change in expression was seen from Lu Yuan's face. The adjutant continued helplessly: "I called according to the official number of the city government, but no one answered it, including the mayor's office, the corresponding secretariat, and even the mayor's private number. But no one answered it."
Listening to the adjutant's story, Lu Yuan was so angry that he was so angry.
He laughed and said, "It's amazing that the corpse-positioned meal has reached such a level. Okay, since I can't contact you, then don't contact me! Contact the special train immediately, I will arrive in Canglan City within three hours!"
"Ah? Sir... I can check the communication numbers of the subordinate units of Canglan Municipal Government again. Since the municipal government cannot contact it, then it is okay to contact the subordinate units directly, right?"
"No need! If I still need to contact the subordinate units directly, what should I do in Canglan City Government? I will withdraw it directly! It's only three hours left, and the development of the situation will not be irreversible. It just happened to use this incident to kill the chicken to scare the monkey! Didn't that acting mayor just want to survive the last half year? I don't let him do it!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said coldly.
"Then... do you need to make some other preparations? The investigators we secretly laid out recently had news and reported that there seemed to be some abnormal movement in Canglan City, this..."
"No, the abnormal movement is in the wilderness, and it is not possible to solve the problem with too many people. Go and arrange a special train."
"Yes, sir!"
