Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 738 Competition Between Two Districts

Chapter 772 The Competition Between Two Districts

Sure enough, when the news reached Cheng Yaojin's ears, Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened.

His eyes were already big, but when they widened, they were even more frightening.

But Cheng Yaojin's wide eyes are not because of anger, but because of worry.

"Oh! This is really worrying about Lao Cheng! How can Lao Cheng be an economical person! Isn't this driving ducks to the shelves? So does the emperor, just leave Lao Cheng in Youzhou like this?"

Doesn't he need to go back to Chang'an, or go to other places? Could it be that he is planning to let him retire in Youzhou?
Doesn't that seem impossible?
If that's the case, it's not a bad thing. His old Cheng is not someone who insists on staying in Chang'an, and he doesn't miss Chang'an much. Just kidding, his old Cheng is not from Chang'an, but from Dong'an, Jeju!
He didn't even go back to Jeju Dong'a, and he didn't go back to Chang'an, which is actually nothing.

Youzhou is not a place of bitter cold, at least it is not a place of bitter cold now, it is full of vitality everywhere, every day when I open my eyes, I feel that today’s Youzhou has changed a lot compared with yesterday’s Youzhou .

If you stay here, you will be blessed.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is not practical to stay here for a long time. The place of Youzhou has become very different now.

This place was originally only important in military affairs, but now it is becoming more and more important in industry, commerce, and agriculture.

It is a tradition that there are imperial garrisons stationed in Youzhou: guarding the frontier, not only in Youzhou, but also in other border areas all year round.

It is also a strategy to reassure the imperial court: there are tens of thousands of troops stationed by the imperial court all year round. Although they also listen to some dispatches from the King of Youzhou in name, they all listen to the imperial court for major events. If the governor has a conflict, he can directly report to the court.

In addition, a region is actually not just a set of leadership groups, those directly under the imperial court, and those affiliated to Youzhou, each perform their own duties, and there is a delicate balance of checks and balances.

Cheng Yaojin felt that he would definitely be transferred back in the future, but for the past few years, he might really have to live here.

After all, changing generals in the short term can easily cause some changes.

But now is the early stage of Youzhou's development, so the less unnecessary changes, the better.

Therefore, after Cheng Yaojin heard the news about the competition between the new third district and the new second district, he immediately believed it.

"Wang's Mansion and Governor's Mansion will send someone to deliver the letter soon. Hey, if it's true, Lao Cheng will be caught blind!"

How can he develop the economy!
He can only lead troops and station troops.

Generally, if the troops in the garrison are self-sufficient and farming, it is already amazing!
Why do you want him to do the job of developing the economy?
When Cheng Yaojin was worried, his son Cheng Chumo came over.

"Father! I heard that there is a match between the new second district and the new third district?" Cheng Chumo asked as soon as he entered.

Cheng Yaojin looked at his son angrily: "Yes! Didn't you see your father, am I worrying?"

"Dad, what are you worried about? If you are worried, it should be the New Second District!" Cheng Chumo said immediately.

Cheng Yaojin glared at him and said, "You know what! There must be more factories in the new second district in the future. At that time, you only need to leak a little to those new towns, and the new town will be able to rise! What is there in the new third district? It's just a piece of land!"

"But Dad, we only need to help one new town here, and there are eleven of them over there!"

"Eleven is not the total number! If you can guarantee the average of eleven, it must be bad?"

"Father, why does my son think that you are afraid before you start?" Cheng Chumo said a little speechlessly.

As a result, these words rushed into Cheng Yaojin's lungs.

He fears?
He is not afraid!
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm not afraid of your father!" Cheng Yaojin said with a beard and staring eyes, "You just wait! This time the pennant is set for the new third district! But if you win and lose, you won't be able to escape Drop it! I will give you the money if you are in charge of the economy! Your father, I will back you up!"

What Cheng Chumo wanted to say, Cheng Yaojin said back what he said just now: "Could it be that you are afraid before you start?"

Cheng Chumo: "..."

In the end, Cheng Chumo succeeded in cheering up his father, and his father also succeeded in adding burden to him.

It's hard to say, which of the father and son is worse.

Watching the back of his son leaving, Cheng Yaojin snorted and smiled: "This brat!"

She clearly wanted to do this, and she wanted to play tricks with him.

"Five years, to the old Cheng, it's a long time, but to the younger generation, five years is nothing."

Right now, Datang's country is becoming more and more stable, and it seems that there will be no major battles to be fought in a few years. If it is promoted by military merit, it will be much more difficult.

Suppressing a small group of bandits is not a big achievement, even if it continues to add up, for someone like Cheng Chumo who was born on a high ground, it is like a mosquito's leg.

Although mosquito legs can be considered as meat, who would really point to mosquito legs to satisfy their hunger when they have the opportunity to eat other meat?
To help the economy of the new three districts take off, this can be regarded as the category of civil governance.

If he has made achievements in this area, he may have hope to work in the Ministry of War or several other departments after returning to Chang'an in the future.

Maybe after many years, he can also take the position of Changsun Wuji and others, which is not impossible.

Although Cheng Yaojin didn't ask his son carefully what he thinks in this regard, but he is Cheng Chumo's father, and if he said something vulgar, he would know what shit the other party was shitting as soon as the other party pouted his ass.

In this situation where the country is gradually stabilizing, the son knows that the general's path is not easy for the time being, and wants to take other paths, and Cheng Yaojin also supports it.

Even if you can't return to the center, as long as you can prove that you are good at both literature and martial arts, you will have a wider path in the future, and there will be no narrow path for development.

"Come here!" Cheng Yaojin shouted to the outside.

Several personal guards walked in quickly, and Cheng Yaojin ordered: "Send an order to all the generals in the army, and have a meeting with me at Lao Cheng's place!"

"Yes!" Several guards immediately went out to deliver the order.

Cheng Yaojin planned to find the generals first, and let them think about ways to generate income for the garrison.

After this is finalized, call the officials from the new third district and tell them how the garrison will support the construction of the new town.

Five years seems to be rich, but in fact it is fleeting. He will not underestimate the passage of time. If this matter is finalized and started one day earlier, the construction of the new third district will also have one more day!

At the same time, the New Second District has also received some news one after another. Although the order has not been officially conveyed, the officials have already begun to think about how cool it would be to get this pennant in the future.

They have decided on this pennant!
