As Lin Xu expected, the new governor of Jiangsu took office three days later!
This governor of Jiangsu is not an outsider. He is Cao Shuduan, the former governor of the river!
Although the Governor of the River Channel is not considered a local official in Jiangsu Province, the Governor of the River Channel established a government office in Suzhou, and Cao Shuduan has been in this position for more than a year. His main job is to take charge of the protection of important water systems such as the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Dredging, transportation and other matters, the most important of which is water transportation relying on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal!
Therefore, Cao Shuduan's daily work is closely related to Jiangsu Province, so he can be regarded as half a Jiangsu local official.
In addition, the Governor of Hedao, like the Governor of Jiangsu, was a high-ranking official of the second rank, and Cao Shuduan was a very senior and politically well-known person. It was logical and reasonable for him to take over the post of Governor of Jiangsu, and no one could say anything.
However, although the Governor of Hedao and the Governor of Jiangsu are both high-ranking officials of the second rank, their value is different, because the Governor of Hedao is only responsible for water affairs and cannot be called a "frontier official", while the Governor of Jiangsu is responsible for
The government affairs of a province, let alone such an important province as Jiangsu, are properly entrusted to the border officials!
In terms of future development trajectories, these two positions are also different.
If the governor of Hedao returns to Beijing to serve, at most he will serve as a minister of a certain ministry, or even a minister. If he does not have the qualifications to governor a local area, there is basically no possibility of joining the cabinet. However, if the governor of Jiangsu enters Beijing, he may directly join the cabinet.
The pavilion is a very popular minister!
Therefore, Cao Shuduan was transferred from the governor of Hedao to the governor of Jiangsu. Although his rank remained unchanged, it could be regarded as a further move by the imperial court.
In fact, in addition to the governor of the river, Cao Shuduan also has another identity-a disciple of Xin Xue!
Before that, Cao Shuduan donated a large sum of money to rebuild Qinglin Academy, and also invited Li Jiuyuan, a generation of mind-study master, to Qinglin Academy as the mountain chief. Since then, Qinglin Academy has become famous and has become a famous university in Daning.
One of the most famous academies!
Nowadays, as the influence of Xinxue among scholars is growing, coupled with Li Jiuyuan's great reputation, Qinglin Academy has almost become a place of pilgrimage for students of Xinxue. Many students from other places come here to listen to Jiuyuan's reputation.
When Mr. Yuan lectures and talks about Taoism, he will easily gather thousands of people!
Cao Shuduan was also a frequent visitor to Qinglin Academy.
As the influence of Qinglin Academy grew, the relationship between many court officials who believed in Xinxue and Li Jiuyuan became closer and closer.
In the autumn of this year, many students who listened to Li Jiuyuan's lectures at Qinglin Academy were among the top candidates in high school and became Jinshi in the new subjects!
Those officials who believe in Xinxue and these new scholars have come to everything because they have the same belief. Over time, they have formed a political force that cannot be ignored!
These people are called the Qinglin Party!
If you don’t understand the court situation, you may think that the court just thought that Cao Shuduan was qualified and capable, so it allowed him to take over the position of governor of Jiangsu. However, Lin Xu understood that there was actually a cruel party struggle behind this!
Liu Mingju was a member of the Yan Party, and the Yan Party belonged to the King of Qi.
Cao Shuduan is a member of the Qinglin Party, and the Qinglin Party supports King Wu!
Liu Mingju was sent to the capital for questioning, but Cao Shuduan rose to prominence. On the surface, these two incidents seemed to be independent of each other, but in fact, in the party struggle on the battlefield in Jiangsu, the King of Wu defeated the King of Qi.
