Chapter 2761
Although this reason sounds helpless, it is indeed very realistic. Haihan has so many departments that are moving to Hangzhou that the original government offices in the city are simply not enough, so now a new one is being built north of West Lake. The urban area serves as the office space for core institutions such as the Executive Committee.
Whether it is the truly important departments that will be moved from Sanya in the future or the government agencies that have already moved to Hangzhou, their levels will be much higher than the special liaison office affiliated with the Donghai Region. Nowadays, it is very difficult to find a place to work in Hangzhou city. There is really no room for picking and choosing. Although the internal environment of this nursing home is not very good, at least the place is big enough. Even if it needs to be renovated and renovated in the future, There is plenty of space too.
Zhu Zian saw that he knew the local situation quite well and spoke with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent, so he took the initiative to ask: "Brother, he must be a local, right? I don't know how to call him?"
The man responded politely: "Mr. Zhu, next week Shaoyuan used to work as an errand in the Qiantang County Government. He was recruited by the Special Liaison Office last year and was temporarily responsible for the miscellaneous affairs inside and outside here. If Mr. Zhu has any errands in the future, just ask him. .”
Zhu Zian understood immediately upon hearing this that this person should also be one of the bureaucrats retained by Haihan after he took over Hangzhou. Bureaucrats like this who are familiar with local people's sentiments and can handle practical matters are most likely to be appreciated by Haihan, and have a high chance of being transferred and retained. However, I am afraid that this person had secretly cooperated with Haihan officials before this, so that he could be directly recruited by the Special Liaison Office.
While they were talking, the two of them had reached the depths of the courtyard. There was actually a courtyard within a courtyard with a two-entry structure, which was the office space of the liaison office. Zhou Shaoyuan led Zhu Zian into the small courtyard and asked Zhu Zian to wait in the corridor while he went in first to report.
A moment later, Zhu Zian met the official chief official here, an old man over sixty years old, in a study room in the courtyard. This person's clothing and appearance were very consistent with the Haihan people Zhu Zian had met before. If he hadn't known in advance that this person was an official from the Ming Dynasty who had switched to Haihan's banner, he would probably have regarded him as a high-ranking official from Haihan with pure blood.
After meeting, Zhu Zian first announced his identity and then presented a letter of appointment stamped with the seal of the Donghai Region Management Committee. The old man just lowered his head and glanced, then stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhu. Sit down and talk. Come, watch the tea!"
After sitting down, the old man introduced himself: "I, Li Qingyang, will be in charge of the special liaison office for the time being. Please stay close to Mr. Zhu from now on."
Zhu Zian was very unfamiliar with this name, and he really couldn't remember such a figure in the southern official circles before. But he immediately remembered that Shi Chengwu had said that this person arrived in Haihan more than 20 years earlier than him. He might not even have been born at that time. If he was not an important official in the imperial court, he would not have any impression at all.
Let alone Zhu Zian, even naturalized citizens who have been naturalized in Haihan for many years may not have heard of the name Li Qingyang. But although Li Qingyang has a low reputation and a low profile, he is not an ordinary person.
When Haihan first showed his prowess in Sanya, he actually attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty and sent many spies to the area. At that time, Li Qingyang, who was a member of the Jinyiwei Hundred Households, was definitely considered a high-ranking official among them.
However, Li Qingyang was not very lucky. When he first arrived in Sanya, his identity was discovered by Haihan. After some coercion and inducement, he finally chose to save his life and surrendered to Haihan as a barb for the intelligence department. Li Qingyang was born in Jinyiwei, so he naturally knew the secrets of Ming Dynasty's intelligence work. With him as a technical consultant for the Haihan Security Department, his work efficiency could be said to be twice the result with half the effort. Li Qingyang also quickly became the head of the Ming Affairs Department of the Ministry of Security due to his outstanding achievements.
However, due to the nature of his special work, it was not appropriate to reveal his identity, so for a long period of time, Li Qingyang remained anonymous, and the outside world did not know that there was such a person in the Haihan Security Department. It was not until the Ming Dynasty was over and many intelligence work in the former Ming Dynasty area was transferred from underground to above ground that Li Qingyang finally appeared in the public eye.
It's just that his achievements are so special that even if he stands in front of the stage, there will still be no relevant publicity reports. Minister of Security He Xi was grateful that he had served Haihan for many years and was old enough to retire, so he asked him to choose to continue working or retire. Li Qingyang's request was simple. He hoped to return to his hometown of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and continue to engage in intelligence. Work related to the field can be regarded as giving full play to the remaining heat.
Such a request was naturally not difficult to satisfy. He Xi personally took action and asked Shi Diwen for a favor, transferring Li Qingyang to the Donghai Region. And considering his age, he was no longer assigned heavy tasks. Instead, he was given a relatively leisurely job, allowing him to preside over the work of the Special Liaison Office and handle various matters related to the Ming Dynasty.
With Li Qingyang's qualifications and ability, it is certainly no problem to manage such a yamen. As for the deputy newly appointed to him, Li Qingyang didn't know anything about it. He had already done some research on Zhu Zian's situation.
When Li Qingyang was transferred to the Donghai Region, it was the eve of the Hangzhou Provincial Examination last year. Therefore, the key information about Zhu Zian's performance in the provincial examination and his subsequent assignment to the mission overseas has not been missed. In addition, the "Haihan Times" later published detailed reports on this new Jieyuan with a special status. , it was not difficult for Li Qingyang to smell the smell of official operation.
With his connections in the intelligence department, he quickly learned the ins and outs of Haihan's instigation of Zhu Zian. In fact, the Ministry of Security has done a lot of things like this in the past, but this is indeed the first time that the children of the previous royal family can be mobilized to actively serve.
By this time, Li Qingyang's interest in Zhu Zian was actually purely out of professional curiosity, but he had never thought about working with him in the future. It was not until a few days ago that Shi Diwen informed him that the deputy who was going to take up the post at the Special Liaison Office was this former Ming royal family member.
Li Qingyang has served Haihan for more than 20 years and has long regarded himself as a subject of Haihan. Naturally, he no longer has any sense of awe towards the figures of the Ming Dynasty. After he learned the news, he was more concerned about the purpose of this appointment in the field of intelligence work.
There is no doubt that Zhu Zian's special background is the main reason why he received this appointment, but Haihan has always been pragmatic in his appointment of officials, so there should be other reasons, such as that this person does have certain qualities required for this job. So how to make Zhu Zian's identity fully play a role in this position has become a problem that Li Qingyang has to face.
Li Qingyang's knowledge of Zhu Zian came from indirect channels, and of course he was more willing to believe in direct information that could be obtained through face-to-face communication.
