"No wonder Shen Yan can gain such trust from the emperor at such an age, if he is replaced by himself, he may not be able to think of what the three major influences of the Great Xia are, even if he can come up with it, he may not be able to come up with a way to crack it, it seems that he did underestimate this Shen Yan who seems to be polite and polite with a hint of cheapness before. After listening to Xia Yuanxu's narration, Guo Zi'an's heart was filled with a strong sourness and jealousy, a person who has not undergone a good education, a person who has no good background, but who has a higher vision and forward-looking vision than the door valve, the nobles, the big clans, and the people who have received a higher education, such a person will shine wherever he goes, and it seems that it is not an accident that he can get the trust and respect of the emperor.www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, blindly solving the problem of the White Lotus Sect in Huaibei County can certainly be solved by force, but has the emperor ever thought about where those White Lotus Sect disciples come from? They are all poor people, all of them are the emperor's people, but why would they not be willing to submit to the emperor's jurisdiction, no, to be exact, unwilling to obey the jurisdiction of the local government and join the White Lotus Sect? Only by thinking of this reason can we solve the White Lotus Sect problem in a targeted and fundamental manner, otherwise, if it is suppressed by force today, a few years later, more than ten years later, they will resurrect again. Shen Yan didn't know how Guo Zi'an was evaluating himself now, but he knew that since the emperor let him express himself, he would express it according to the truest thoughts in his heart.

"The people have no way to go, or they can't survive, they will take risks, so who makes them unable to live, of course, it is not the emperor, nor the governor of Huaibei County, but the officials of Huaibei County, as well as their staff and scribes, in order to fill their own pockets, or for their own interests, they continue to exploit the rations that the people rely on to survive, so that they cannot survive, they will take risks." A trace of sadness appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, as if he felt sad for the people of Huaibei County, as if he was sad for his origin, and as if he was sad for the Shen family in Lingnan.

"The staff and scribes have a monopoly on almost all the actions of the local government, and collecting taxes is only the most basic method of collecting money, and other methods are endless, many of which are unheard of." When Shen Yan said this, he stopped very abruptly, no longer spoken, and there was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his eyes.

"Shen Yan, how did you learn about the practices of these staff members and scribes? You haven't dealt with them again? Hearing Shen Yan's direct pointing at the staff and the scribes, Guo Zi'an's brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly cut off Shen Yan's words and asked lightly.

"Two aspects, one is from the books, this, I think Guo Lao knows more than me, the second, my background determines that I have to deal with the staff and scribes often, however, I have my basic bottom line, I will not bend the facts for my own selfish desires, nor will I retaliate for my own selfish thoughts, all this I said is true, this, I believe that Guo Lao has been an official in politics for so many years, and he can also experience, but, Guo Lao may never have seriously thought about the negative impact of his staff and scribes. Hearing Guo Zi'an's inquiry, Shen Yan's brows jumped slightly, and he knew that he would definitely be questioned by Guo Zi'an when he said this.

Although Guo Zi'an is the emperor's teacher, his protégés are not only the emperor, many of his protégés are officials, but not all of his protégés can be officials, so where is the way out for these people? The answer is obvious, the staff and scribes, as well as the faculty of the academy, have become their best choice.

Guo Zi'an's questioning is not only for his students who have not become officials, but also for himself, or from his own position, but no matter what the reason, Guo Zi'an will definitely come forward to ask himself, which Shen Yan had expected from the beginning, and thought of the words of reply.

"Therefore, in response to the White Lotus Sect in Huaibei County, Weichen feels that in the early stage, it is mainly suppressed and supplemented, and in the middle and later stages, it is mainly suppressed and supplemented, only by combining suppression and suppression, coupled with the introduction of some policies to appease the people's livelihood and people's hearts, as well as dealing with and resolving a number of officials, staff and scribes who are deeply convicted, the followers of the White Lotus Sect will definitely be able to feel the emperor's grace and return to the emperor's arms, and no longer work against the emperor." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, as if a sense of victory was in sight.

"And the general who leads the troops will become the most important part of the army in Huaibei County, because no matter whether it is suppressed or appeased, many things need the glorious image and prestige of this general to be re-established among the people, rather than transforming this success into someone else's feats." After Shen Yan finished speaking, a strong thought flashed in his eyes, but he knew very well in his heart that even if he won it, the emperor gave him this errand, and he could not become this person who was in charge alone, one of them did not have such qualifications, and the other had too many interests involved, and he must have a big banner above him.

Thinking so much, what are you doing. His status in the emperor's mind has not yet fully reached this point, so he should honestly think about what he can do.

"Shen Yan, then who do you think is the most suitable candidate among the generals of the Manchu Dynasty?" Hearing Shen Yan's suggestion, Xia Qi's brows furrowed slightly, this concept seems to be nothing prominent, but if you are deeply united, you can understand many things from it, since the founding of Great Xia, any trouble in the White Lotus Sect is to adopt a strategy of suppression, and no one has ever proposed the means of soothing, but now Shen Yan has systematically put forward the strategy of combining suppression and appeasement, which itself has subverted the tradition of more than 300 years in Great Xia.

In addition, although Shen Yan's words were not clearly revealed, but between the lines, the importance of leading the generals appeared, there are so many generals in the court, I am the king of a country, but how many generals have not been won over by my sons, and how many can they sincerely do things for me? Xia Qi has a thick booklet in his heart, which clearly records the origins, specialties, merits and which prince he took refuge in the court.

It can be said that there are only a handful of Manchu generals who can really be used by me, but none of these generals can be transferred, because they are of greater use.

As for whether there are other intentions hidden in Shen Yan's words, I still need to savor it slowly.

"Your Majesty, who will be sent to lead the troops to fight, can we discuss it later?" What is really afraid of something, what Shen Yan is most afraid of is that the emperor asks himself this question, of course he wants to say that he is the most suitable, but why should he say it, just rely on the five hundred people of the Great Xia Royal Army?
