While Di Zhixun was hesitating, his gentle wife, who had been silent all this time, interrupted at this moment. "My dear husband, His Majesty is willing to give our son a chance because of his favor. It's his chance to have this opportunity. What's there to hesitate about? A man of character doesn't do things day and night. Since His Majesty is willing to give our son a chance, let him go. "
Di Zhixun did not speak further when he heard that. He said directly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Du Qi revealed a smile.
The present Xia Xia did not lack talents. Li Jing, Du Ruhui, and Li Xiaogong were the oldest batch. As for Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou, Lai Ji, and Liu Zhengxi, they were the second generation. It ensured that there was an abundance of talents. However, the younger batch would be led by Di Renjie. More would be recruited in the future.
Only by having a constant supply of talents could Xia Xia's continued development be ensured.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Kingdom occupied a remote corner. It had enough talents in the early stages to match the Wei Kingdom. However, in the later stages, there was a lack of talents. Even with natural barriers, it was difficult for the Shu Kingdom to rule over a region. If the Shu Kingdom had enough talents, it would not have been destroyed by the Wei Kingdom.
The competition of national strength was, to a certain extent, a competition of talents.
Du Qi wanted to ensure this for the present Xia Xia. Therefore, Du Qi specially established the University of Science and Technology as well as the Great Xia Military Academy. It was to constantly nurture talents.
Du Qi said, "Di Zhixun, if you are willing to follow me, I'll give you two choices. The first choice is to take up a post in Sovereign Capital and work in the core of the imperial government. The second choice is to take up a post locally. Which one will you choose? "
Di Zhixun pondered when he heard that.
Staying in Sovereign Capital's core had certain advantages. First, he would be promoted quickly. After all, if he stayed in the core of the imperial government, he would definitely be a high-ranking official when he was sent out. Furthermore, working in the core of the imperial government's core allowed him to broaden his horizons and come into contact with the imperial government's secrets. It gave him a huge advantage. Apart from that, Di Renjie would also study in Sovereign Capital. Di Zhixun could take care of his son.
Taking up a post locally also had a special advantage. It was that he would not be restricted. When one worked in the center of the imperial court, one had to be cautious and restrained in all aspects. However, when he was in charge of a region, he wouldn't be restricted. He could do things according to his own ideas, and he would be able to fulfill his ambitions in the shortest time possible. Of course, there were also disadvantages. If he did not do well in the local area, it would be difficult for him to be promoted. In addition, he would not be able to take care of his son.
Di Zhixun, however, was hesitant. He was hesitant because of his son.
At that moment, Di Zhixun's wife spoke again, "Husband, I'll follow our son to the Imperial Capital to take care of him. In short, you don't have to worry about your son. I will take good care of him. "
A smile appeared on Di Zhixun's face.
His old wife understood him!
Di Zhixun immediately made up his mind. He looked at Du Qi and said, "Your Majesty, I'm willing to work in the local government. Right now, in the core of the Imperial Court, I am inexperienced and have not made any contributions, so it is difficult for me to convince others. Therefore, it's best to stay here. "
Du Qi said, "Di Zhixun, you have a good son and a good wife."
Di Zhixun replied, "Your Majesty is overpraising me."
Di Zhixun's wife lowered her head in a respectful manner. When Du Qi and Di Zhixun were conversing, it was actually inappropriate for her to interrupt. However, at that moment, when it came to Di Zhixun's decision, she could not help but speak up. She was worried that her son would affect Di Zhixun's decision.
Du Qi said, "Your choice to stay here is the best decision. Because here, the officials in the Imperial Court of South Xia have already taken up the posts of Minister of the various ministries. Due to the fact that they were created in the beginning, there was no way for them to go through the detailed process. They were all promoted from the frontlines and directly took up important posts in the various ministries. "
"In the future, when it comes to the promotion of officials, especially the Ministers of the various ministries and the heads of the various departments, as well as the local feudal officials, there will be a rigid requirement. They are required to have experience in governing the local government."
Du Qi said, "Without experience in governing the local government, it is impossible for them to take up important posts directly."
Di Zhixun said, "Your Majesty is wise. Every action, word, and policy of the central officials of the Imperial Court will affect the millions of citizens of South Xia. Therefore, it is extremely important to take up a post in a local government to accumulate experience and understand the hardships of the people. Only by doing so can any policy have substance and not be taken for granted. "
Du Qi nodded and changed the topic, "The Jingzhou already has a provincial governor. It's Lan Changhe. Although the Qizhou has a provincial governor, the response to the Qizhou provincial governor's administration was mediocre. I will transfer the Qizhou provincial governor to Sovereign Capital. You will take up the post and take charge of the Qizhou. "
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Di Zhixun agreed immediately.
Although the provincial governor of a province was not considered a high ranking feudal official and could not be compared to a director, he would still have great authority in governing the region. He would be able to carry out his administration according to his own plans.
Du Qi immediately got Shangguan Yi to fetch the imperial edict and confirmed Di Zhixun's appointment. Then, he handed the edict to Di Zhixun and got Shangguan Yi to specially send a letter to the Imperial Court to inform the Ministry of Personnel to file a record and follow the corresponding procedures.
After everything was settled, Du Qi did not speak further. After all, it was late and everyone went to rest.
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Du Qi and Di Zhixun parted ways. Di Zhixun and company headed for the Qizhou while Du Qi and company continued heading north. They wandered north of Chang 'an and continued visiting various places. The further north they went, the more desolate the places became.
The regions near Chang 'an were slowly recovering. After all, there were many people coming and going. However, due to Li Shimin's constant recruitment of troops to fight in the northern regions of Chang 'an, there were very few young and strong citizens.
When Li Tai headed north, he abducted a few strong men, resulting in even fewer citizens. Many places were desolate. Although spring plowing had already begun in many places, there were very few citizens. It still felt somewhat desolate.
Shangguan Yi followed Du Qi. At this time, the speed of the horse was very slow. Shangguan Yi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this subject has something to say. I don't know if I should say it."
Du Qi said, "There's no harm in saying it."
Shangguan Yi said in a deep voice, "This subject is not clear about Di Zhixun's situation. From yesterday's conversation, this subject can only tell that Di Zhixun once held a post in the northern regions. Later, because his advice was not accepted by Li Tai, he was pursued by Li Tai when he left. As for Di Zhixun's abilities, this subject does not know. "
After a pause, Shangguan Yi continued, "Compared to Lan Changhe, there are more unknowns about Di Zhixun's situation. Now, directly appointing him as the Provincial Governor of Qizhou and ruling over a region is a bit hasty. "
Du Qi revealed a smile. Compared to Shangguan Yi, he naturally knew more. This was because Di Renjie and Di Zhixun were both famous people in history. Their abilities were quite extraordinary. Especially Di Renjie, who was an important official of the imperial court in the future.
In front of Shangguan Yee, Du Qi couldn't say that he knew the history and knew that Di Zhixun was a good person. He said directly, "Di Zhixun is a bad person. There is corresponding information about him, so I know the situation. Because of this, this subject can be at ease to appoint him as the Provincial Governor of Qizhou and let him rule over a region. "
When Shangguan Yi heard that it was information about bad people, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, Du Qi had already said that it was information about bad people. That meant that it was confirmed. Therefore, it was unnecessary to ask more questions.
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, from Di Zhixun's information, we can determine that Li Tai is in Bingzhou in the north. Although he has many soldiers under his control, his combat strength isn't weak. However, Li Tai's methods are quite vile. The officials and commoners don't like him. "
"Since that's the case, Li Tai doesn't have the support of the people. It shouldn't be difficult to destroy him. When Su Dingfang arrives at the frontlines, we can take down Li Tai and pacify the north. "
Shangguan Yi's eyes were filled with anticipation.
He believed that Li Tai wouldn't last long.
Du Qi said, "It shouldn't be difficult to take down the north. After all, other than Li Tai, who you mentioned just now, there's also Bingzhou. It's where my father ruled. It's where we once took root. Back then, this subject wiped out countless Turkic soldiers in the battle at Yanmen Pass. With these prerequisites, we have the support of the people. Therefore, it shouldn't be difficult to take over Bingzhou. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise."
As the two talked, they continued to head north. However, after circling around, they turned northeast and finally started heading east. At the beginning of the fifth month, when the weather was getting hotter, Du Qi's group arrived at Lantian County, east of Chang 'an.
