Rong Ning straightened the papers and handed them to Chu Pingfeng. "These are records of some things I did in the North during this period, as well as some urgent issues that I haven't had time to address."
I have spent a long time in the North and know a lot about it, so I have written it all down here. If Lord Chu is interested, he can take a look, but he doesn’t have to take my thoughts as the primary consideration.
Having served as an official in the court for many years, you should know that to truly understand a place, one must thoroughly understand the people's conditions. This is especially true in the north, which has been ravaged by war, where the situations in each county are different and more complex.
What I have written is merely from my own perspective. Perhaps when Lord Chu truly understands it, he will have a different view.
But no matter what, the most important thing is to listen to the voices of the people, to see what they need most and what they are most worried about.
I have never been an official, so I am naturally not very clear about the ways of being an official. But I do know that an official who cares about the world and loves his people is what the people need most.
Lord Chu, after establishing trade relations with Da Jing, the North will become a window for Da Jing to observe the Southern Dynasty. Therefore, it needs a wise prefect to govern it more than any other place in the Southern Dynasty, so that the people of Da Jing can see the methods and integrity of the officials of the Southern Dynasty.
A person as heinous as the former prefect should not and cannot appear here a second time.
"Lord Chu, do you understand what I mean?"
"Your Majesty, I understand. I will keep Your Majesty's teachings in mind today." Chu Pingfeng stood up and bowed deeply to Rong Ning. "Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations."
Chu Pingfeng had always held this princess in awe. From the battle of Kangye City onwards, everything this young princess had done was enough to make many men in the world ashamed.
He was convinced.
Chu Pingfeng had a feeling that Princess Ningding would eventually return here, but it was unknown what identity she would use to return.
Thinking of this, Chu Pingfeng added, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely complete each and every task that you have not finished."
Rong Ning smiled, waved her hand, and gestured for Chu Pingfeng to sit down. She said, "As I just said, different people have different opinions. What I wrote is just my personal opinion. You can take it as a reference. From now on, you will be the governor of Mingzhou, and we should follow your lead."
As long as it ultimately benefits the people, that's fine.
As long as Chu Pingfeng is a good person, Rong Ning is unlikely to interfere in the affairs of Mingzhou.
What she wanted was military power in the north.
The purpose of this trip back to Nanyang City was to use the issue of the prefectural governor to separate the military and political power in the north.
This is what Rong Ning wanted, and it's also what her father and elder brother wanted.
However, after separating military and political power, how to keep the military power in the north in her hands is a headache.
