Chapter 295: The Prefect of Two Counties
After pacifying Yuedi, it is necessary to arrange the Yuedi. There are only two counties in the Yue Kingdom, one is Kuaiji and the other is Nanhai, but these two counties span the entire Deng Kingdom, starting from the Yangtze River in the north, From the south to the South China Sea, the north and the south are thousands of miles long, so Deng Sheng will divide Ji County into Jiangdong Road, and Nanhai County into Jingnan Road, but this is also temporary. After taking over Shu Kingdom and Nanguo in the future, Deng Sheng will reclassified them.

However, it is still too early to destroy the Kingdom of Shu and the Southern Kingdom. The Kingdom of Deng was under pressure just now. When the Kingdom of Qin was weak and the Kingdom of Zhao was busy pacifying the Central Plains and had no time to look south, it destroyed the Kingdom of Yue. , and Deng Sheng had a premonition that if Deng Guo wanted to securely take over the lands of Shu and Nan, he would have to fight Qin Zhaoqian first, otherwise Qin Zhao would not just watch Deng take over the entire land. From the south, so Deng Sheng will have to prepare his troops and prepare for war with Qin and Zhao at any time.

However, the most urgent task is to arrange the prefects of Kuaiji and Nanhai counties, so that the two counties can get on the right track as soon as possible. The ministers also have different opinions on the position of the prefects of the two counties. He also made great contributions to Deng Guoping's settlement of Shanyue, and Yang Tinglin served as the prefect of Kuaiji, which is easy to win the hearts of Shanyue.

But Shang Shu Ling Jiang Wan did not agree with this, because Yang Tinglin had a high prestige in Shanyue. If Yang Tinglin was appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji, it would be easy to encourage the power of the Yang family. In time, once the ambition of the Yang family expanded, there would be turmoil in Kuaiji. Therefore, Jiang Wan proposed to select officials from the court to serve as the prefects of the two counties.

Deng Sheng carefully considered the opinions of Yue Fei and Jiang Wan, and in the end he still favored Jiang Wan. After all, the Yang family is the largest family in Shanyue and has been the leader of Shanyue for hundreds of years. In the name of Yang Tinglin to lead all ethnic groups in Shanyue, in this way, Kuaiji may become the Yang family's. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people in Kuaiji.

However, when Deng Sheng planned to select officials to go south, no one was willing to go to Kuaiji and Nanhai. It's not as good as it is, and there are hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people in Kuaiji, and their lives will be lost if they are not careful, so they are unwilling.

Deng Sheng was very annoyed by this, but he was very helpless. After all, the current Kuaiji and Nanhai are not the economic regions of later generations. The current Kuaiji and Nanhai are very poor, with relatively little cultivated land and few people. I don't want to go at all.

After returning to Qianyang Palace, Deng Sheng was still considering candidates for the prefect of the two counties, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate. It would be impossible for the ministers in the court to recommend themselves. Finally, Deng Sheng planned to call.

Just when Deng Sheng was about to call, the servant came to report, and Deng Hao asked to see him, so Deng Sheng had to suspend the call first, and let someone announce Deng Hao to come in.

"My son pays homage to my father!" Deng Hao saluted Deng Sheng after entering Qianyang Palace.

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Get up, what's the matter with you here?"

Deng Hao nodded and said, "Going back to my father, my son is here for the affairs of the prefects of Kuaiji and Nanhai." Candidates and worry.

Deng Sheng sighed, and said: "Hao'er, you also saw today that civil and military officials all respect Kuaiji and Nanhai at a respectful distance. All of a sudden, I still can't find a suitable candidate, but you have a candidate?"

"Yes, Father!" Deng Hao said: "Father, Kuaiji and the South China Sea are wild places. It is understandable that the adults in the court do not want to go, but they are not willing to go, but there are people in my Deng family who are willing to go. .”

"Oh, let's hear it." Deng Sheng was a little interested. The Deng family belonged to the royal family, but since Deng Yong's death, the power of the royal family in the political arena has become weaker and weaker, so Deng Sheng didn't think of it for a while. After choosing from the royal family, now that Deng Hao has proposed it, he must have already considered it.

Deng Hao replied: "Father, Uncle Deng Song, the second son of the late Uncle Wang's grandfather Deng Yong, and Deng Bei, the eldest son of the Anyang Lord's Mansion, are the best in my royal family. My son and minister have also personally inspected it. What is outstanding, since the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are unwilling to go south, then let the people of my Deng family go, after all, this world belongs to my Deng family."

In fact, the reason why Deng Hao came to recommend people from the royal family was also entrusted by some elders in the royal family. Since Deng Yong died of illness, the royal family has no one to carry the tripod in the court. Except for a Nanyang prefect, King Deng In the political arena, there is no one who can be seen anymore, and Nanyang is the private land of the Deng family, and only people from the Deng family have always been the prefects. In addition, this is the capital of the country, so the prefect was chosen casually. He was selected, but his ability was not very good, so Deng wanted to win the prefect position of the two southern counties and strengthen his political strength.

Deng Sheng is also a little moved. Although he still has the four dimensions of the later generations and advocates meritocracy, in this era, no one can be more reliable than the family members. Although the family members may have some scum, But it cannot be denied that in the country of Deng, no one cares more about the country of the Deng family than members of the royal family.

So Deng Sheng nodded and said: "Since Hao'er admires these two people so much, then find a time to bring them here for the widow to meet."

When Deng Hao heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Father, in fact, the two uncles are already waiting outside the palace to be summoned. If the father is willing, I will bring them in."

"Then let them in." Now that the people have come, let's meet them.

"Here!" Deng Hao responded and walked out.Soon he brought two middle-aged men in. After the two came in, they saluted Deng Sheng: "My minister Deng Song (Deng Bei) pays homage to the king, and the king is forever!"

When the two came in, Deng Sheng called out the system to detect the four dimensions of the two.

"Deng Song, force: 62, commander: 70, intelligence: 82, politics: 89
Deng Bei, force: 70, commander: 63, intelligence: 84, politics: 91"

Seeing the four-dimensionality of the two, Deng Sheng nodded silently. These two people are very good, and they can be regarded as the best in the current royal family, so he said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two agreed and stood up.

Deng Sheng looked at the two of them and said: "I heard from the eldest prince that you are willing to go south to serve as the prefects of Kuaiji and Nanhai counties. I wonder if it is true?"

Deng Song and Deng Bei nodded, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, we are willing to go south."

Deng Sheng said again: "Do you know that Kuaiji and the South China Sea are barren lands, with poor mountains and bad waters, and tough people's customs, and the ministers of the court all respect them at a distance."

Deng Song and Deng Bei nodded, and said: "Your servants know, but as members of the Deng family, we should serve for Great Deng. Since people with other surnames don't want to go, let us Deng's people go. We also want to let the world know that I, Mrs. Deng, have the courage to take responsibility."

"Good!" Deng Sheng praised. After so many years, the Deng family has finally produced a hero again. For so many years, Deng Sheng has not used Deng's people much. It is not because he is afraid of the royal family, but because the Deng family has nothing to do. Deng Qiang was the only talent that could be obtained, and he was summoned by himself. It was really too difficult, and now there are finally two more, and Deng Sheng is also very happy.

So he said: "In this case, the widow will issue an edict tomorrow to appoint Deng Bei as the prefect of Kuaiji and Deng Song as the prefect of Nanhai. They will go to the two counties soon."

There is also a reason for this arrangement. Deng Bei’s politics are higher than Deng Song’s. The situation in Kuaiji is complicated and needs to be governed by someone with a higher level of politics. The South China Sea is adjacent to the Southern Kingdom, so Deng Sheng chose Deng Song, who is a higher commander, to go to the South China Sea.

After hearing this, the two responded in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The next day, Deng Sheng issued an edict to appoint Deng Bei as the prefect of Kuaiji, and Deng Song as the prefect of the South China Sea. As soon as the news came out, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the prefects of the two counties have been elected, they finally don’t have to go to that remote place to suffer. The Deng family is also very happy. The Deng family has finally produced two talents, and they are prefects. The starting point is quite high. As long as they make political achievements, they will return to Wancheng in the future. The position will definitely not be low .
