(0685) Under the huge pressure from all sides, Zhu Youxiao once thought about giving up carpentry. Everyone around him is against this particular hobby of his. In addition to his father's ear and face, there are also the masters' heads, and it is really unbearable to change ordinary people. It's just that every time he gives up carpentry for a period of time, he is itchy and unbearable, tossing and turning, and can't give up. The end result was that he quietly picked up the axe and chiseled the ink bucket again, and continued to work with wood. Only in this way can he feel inner satisfaction and feel grounded.

Now, his carpentry skills have been fully affirmed by Xu Xingxia, and he suddenly feels that his future is bright. Even the confidence of being a human being does not know how many times it has swelled. He believed very much that Xu Xingxia's words were sincere. Because, Xu Xingxia has no need to please him at all. With Xu Xingxia's current identity and status, even if he is killed, it is estimated that there is no good way in Nanjing. Who can afford to provoke the fierce white-clothed army?

Xu Xingxia took out a few difficult drawings from his arms, and said with a smile: "I have some interesting drawings here, you can think about it slowly!" If you can figure out all these drawings, it means that your level is already superb. ”

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly took the drawings. As a result, with just a cursory glance, he was fascinated by the intricate drawings. To put it bluntly, Zhu Youxiao's carpentry level is really not boasting. He does have a talent for it. Even if the drawings drawn by Xu Xingxia are a little simple, he can accurately grasp the key to it.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was so attentive, Xu Xingxia beckoned to Dongzi and quietly left. When he walked to the door, he deliberately glanced back and found that Zhu Youxiao's whole person had already fallen on the drawings, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. Judging by his attentive expression, all his thoughts, all his attention, were obviously on the drawings.

If he was so attentive to political affairs when he was the emperor, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty would last for a while. It's a pity that his mind is entirely on carpentry. If he were to do anything else, it would be too difficult for him. However, if it is not appropriate for Zhu Youxiao to be a carpenter, it is inevitably too arbitrary. In fact, he is definitely an excellent carpenter.

Thinking of Zhu Youzhen's brainlessness, Xu Xingxia only sighed silently. These two guys are actually not suitable to be emperors. One is that he doesn't want to take care of political affairs at all, and just wants to be a great carpenter like Lu Ban. One is that political affairs are too tightly controlled. At the end of the day, no one believes it. This is also the surname that Zhu Youzhen has cultivated since childhood.

…… Back at his residence, Yixin Garden, Xu Xingxia sat down, picked up the report and the report on the table, and read it carefully. After the reports from all over the country were sent to the Zhou Palace, they were selected by Zhang Tianhao and others, and then sent to Xu Xingxia for the surname. If it's something important, send it with the entire report. If it is not too important, write the main points on the article and send it to Xu Xingxia in front of him. Most of the time, Xu Xingxia's job is to read these reports or statements, and then make instructions.

To be honest, Xu Xingxia has no interest in such copywriting work. Sitting behind a desk all day, you might as well take the chasseurs around with you. The surname of the Han-style rifle still made Xu Xingxia feel satisfied. No matter what kind of enemy you encounter, in front of the Han-style rifle, you will only be slaughtered. However, the current white-clothed army, except for Xu Xingxia himself, has no one to deal with these reports on his behalf.

It is not a question of decentralization, but of vision and knowledge. In these reports and statements, there is a lot of cross-era knowledge, and except for Xu Xingxia, others don't know how to deal with it. Even old bureaucrats like Huang Kezhang and Qi Xieyuan can only scratch the blind when they encounter words such as trains, railways, power generation, and radio. They don't understand it! There was no way, Xu Xingxia had to bite the bullet by himself.

Fortunately, Xu Xingxia currently has enough time to slowly deal with relevant official business. The distance from Kaifeng Mansion to Ningxia City is too far, and it will take two months on the road, and it is impossible for Xu Xingxia to accompany Zhu Yilan and slowly return to Ningxia City from Kaifeng Mansion. Even if you return to Xi'an City, it is unlikely. Of course, Zhu Yilan understands this. She wouldn't ask Xu Xingxia to waste so much time.

"My lord, this is the final migration plan."

Zhang Tianhao walked in quickly and sent an latest report to Xu Xingxia's case.

The content of this report is the basic process of the relocation of the office of the Supreme Council. After careful thinking and full brainstorming. Xu Xingxia finally decided to relocate all the core institutions of the White Clothes Army to Xi'an. The location of Ningxia City is somewhat biased, too far away from the Central Plains, which is not conducive to the future development of the White Clothes Army.

Compared with Xi'an, the biggest advantage of Ningxia Town is that there is enough food and enough water. The biggest problem in the Guanzhong area is the shortage of food and water. This is also the main reason why the successive dynasties no longer chose Xi'an as the capital after the Han and Tang dynasties. I can't afford to support so many people. However, all this can be improved.

With the advent of railways and trains, there is no longer any difficulty in solving the food problem in Xi'an. There is not enough food in the Guanzhong area, so it can be transported from other places one by one. A wagon of grain is worth hundreds of wagons. In the era of trains, large-scale grain transportation was no longer a problem at all. However, the water source problem in the Guanzhong area is more difficult to solve. Speaking of which, it's still a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no shortage of water.

However, if you take into account the geographical advantages, Xi'an, as the political core of the White Army, is no problem at all. From the perspective of the whole country, Xi'an is just in a relatively central position. Whether it's south, north, east, west, the distance is about the same. With this natural geographical advantage, there is no other place except Xi'an. Of course, Wuchang Mansion in the Huguang area is also good. However, hasn't Wuchang Mansion been taken down yet?

More importantly, the White Army will expand westward in the future, and Xi'an is definitely one of the most important logistics bases. The Longhai Railway in Xu Xingxia's planning is based on Xi'an Prefecture. At that time, the white-clothed army will take a train from Xi'an Mansion and go directly to the Western Regions. A large number of logistical materials will also be sent from Xi'an to various parts of the Western Regions.

"What do the commissioners say?" Xu Xingxia asked slowly.

"Nineteen were in favor, three were against, and five abstained." Zhang Tianhao replied briefly.

"In that case, let's notify all departments to implement it!" Xu Xingxia said decisively.

This kind of relocation of the political axe institution, Xu Xingxia is definitely quick to cut through the mess. This kind of thing, there is no need to think too much. The more you think about it, the longer you procrastinate. The longer you procrastinate, the more time and effort will be spent. The white-clothed army will also devote more energy and resources to other fields.

"Understood!" Zhang Tianhao agreed, turned around and arranged.

…… Xu Xingxia picked up another report and read it carefully. This is a report from Shandong. There is a lot of text in the report, and there is a lot of description. The person who sent the report is called Yuan Yingtai, and his current position is an inspector in Shandong Province. Originally, in real history, Yuan Yingtai should have gone to Liaodong to serve as the governor. The responsibility for the loss of Liaodong was also borne by Yuan Yingtai. Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places were all lost in Yuan Yingtai's hands. However, due to the arrival of Xu Xingxia, the history of Liaodong was completely disrupted.

Due to the early death of Emperor Wanli, Yuan Yingtai had no chance to go to Liaodong, which also allowed him to avoid a big catastrophe and save himself. In fact, Yuan Yingtai is indeed capable. His greatest ability is to govern, that is, to manage internal affairs. In military terms, he is relatively weak. His huge flaw in military affairs is that he is too soft-hearted. The so-called people who are not in charge of the army and are too soft-hearted will certainly not be able to become military commanders.

Xu Xingxia got Yuan Yingtai into his hands because of the fall of King Fu. After the fall of King Fu, a large number of Ming Dynasty officials had no way out and had to find a way to take refuge in the white-clothed army. At this time, there are not many people who think that Xu Xingxia is a thief and a big rebel. Everyone else is about to control the whole world, and they are about to change the dynasty, and you are still clinging to the previous dynasty, isn't this a fool? Those who know the times are handsome.

Some people returned their own sincerity and found an excuse to be at ease. Who is Xu Xingxia? He is the son-in-law of Emperor Taichang! The Heming Dynasty is fundamentally a family. The matter between him and the Ming Dynasty is basically a dispute within the royal family, which is completely different from an ordinary rebellion. No matter how much trouble he makes, it is the emperor's own family affair, and it has nothing to do with outsiders.

Therefore, when they defected to the White Army, they had no psychological pressure at all. It seems that many local officials in Shandong Province have collectively defected to the white-clothed army. Many of them have also been elected to the regional management committee. Among the many local officials, there are still a very small number of people who have both ability and political integrity. They are talented and relatively incorruptible, so they will naturally be reused.

As a result, Xu Xingxia summoned many big figures in history to his subordinates according to the map. Yuan Yingtai is one of them. Xu Xingxia gave Yuan Yingtai the task of inspecting the actual situation in Shandong as a whole and writing a detailed report for him. Judging from the report he submitted, Yuan Yingtai has indeed done a lot of work. There is a striking similarity between his perception of Shandong Province and Xu Xingxia's perception of Shandong Province.
