And Wu Xun's amount of alcohol still didn't seem to be as good as Li Yi's, and after holding on for a while, he couldn't hold on anymore, and fell headlong on the mat, drunk and fell asleep.

Li Yi himself was no better, he stood up with vain steps, called Wu Xun's personal soldiers, served him to sleep on the bed, and took Lian Jun and others to sway back to the post house.

After another busy day of handover, early in the morning of the third day, Li Yi took Lin Yi, He Shoujie, as well as Tao Yue, Liu Wei and other officials from Zhenxiong, Wu Xun, Lei Yue, Xiao Zan, and their 3,000 Dangkou army to the Shili Changting outside Zhenxiong Prefecture, drank the send-off wine, and then waved goodbye one by one.

Returning to the Zhenxiong Jiedu Embassy, which is now the Governor's Office of Zhenxiong Prefecture, in order to clarify the future sequence of officials, as well as the scope of responsibilities of each prefecture and county, and customs defense, Li Yi immediately convened a meeting of officials stationed in Zhenxiong Prefecture and above the seventh grade.

In the meeting hall, Li Yi sat behind the tall handsome case, and more than a dozen officials below Tao Yue stepped forward to greet him in turn, which is also an indispensable etiquette in this era, called 'Marshal's Mansion'.

After the visit, Li Yi immediately invited Tao Yue and Liu Wei to sit on his left and right hands, and everyone also sat down in turn, and then he said: "After Wu Dashuai is transferred to Beijing, the imperial court will have more important arrangements. Our Zhenxiong is missing a Dinghai Divine Needle, which is undoubtedly a big loss for Zhenxiong and Yunnan. ”

"As the Xuanfu envoy of Yunnan, I met with you today, but my heart is full of joy, which is not because of the expansion of Yunnan's scope of authority, but because Yunnan and Zhenxiong have been combined into one, so that the northwest border of our Han Dynasty will be stronger from now on, which will bring real benefits to the local people."

"Whether it is in the economic aspect or in the military aspect, the unified general policy and integrated military deployment can not only benefit the people and enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment, but also share the worries of the imperial court and solve the hidden dangers on the border. Therefore, this arrangement of the imperial court is quite correct. ”

"Of course, Zhenxiong is also a relatively independent area, with its own geographical structure and people's composition, as well as different customs, so we can't generalize. Therefore, just because Zhenxiong belongs to Yunnan does not lose its own characteristics. ”

"I will authorize the governor of Zhenxiong Prefecture, Lord Tao, to act cheaply according to the local situation. As long as we grasp the two principles, we should earnestly popularize and implement all policies that are conducive to the long-term peace and stability of Zhenxiong and to the fundamental interests of the people. ”

"I know that the local ethnic groups in Zhenxiong are quite complex, there are dozens of tribes such as Xianbei, Di, Qiang, Dongman, Heiman, and Baiman, and there are many disputes."

"I also heard that Lord Tao, who was the judge of the festival at that time, always rode lightly, entered the tribal territory alone, talked face-to-face with the local barbarian chiefs, resolved disputes with his heart, and provided them with help within his ability, and the people of all tribes were quite convinced of Lord Tao."

"You must know that Lord Tao is taking a certain risk in doing this, and he may encounter accidents at any time, but he takes the common people of the world as his own responsibility, regardless of his own safety, and is committed to doing a good job in national unity, promoting harmony between various tribes, and ensuring the long-term peace and stability of Zhenxiong, this achievement is really comparable to the sun and the moon!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at Tao Yue with admiration, Li Yi realized that the power of role models is infinite, and Tao Yue's national policy can be continued. As long as the internal stability of Zhenxiong is achieved, all external threats do not need to be considered.

Li Yi nodded with a smile and continued: "Is just internal unity enough? The people had to dress and eat, the children had to go to school, the army had to have supplies of food, grass, armor, and weapons, and the government had to run normally. All of this depends on ourselves, and just blindly asking the court for money is not a long-term solution. ”

"I have heard that Zhenxiong's fiscal and tax revenue this year has doubled that of last year, and the needs of the government and the army have been basically met, and this trend should be maintained. Therefore, I said that only by vigorously developing the economy of Zhenxiong and benefiting the people of Li is the top priority at present. ”

"As I said just now, I will give Zhenxiong the greatest autonomy, except for the military aspect to be unified and integrated, everything else can be decided by Lord Tao himself. I don't know what Master Tao thinks? ”

After listening to Li Yi's words, Tao Yue bowed and bowed, and then said unhurriedly: "Yunnan and Zhenxiong are combined into one family, and Yunnan is unified and controlled, this is the order of the imperial court, and we should strictly abide by it." Li Dashuai, you just said that the relationship between the Zhenxiong ethnic group is complicated, but in fact, this is not the case in Yunnan. Since all ethnic groups in Yunnan are happy and united, it must have a lot to do with the policies promulgated by the marshal and the work actually done. ”

"The biggest difference between the two places is that the local ethnic groups in Zhenxiong are still unwilling to do business with our Han people, let alone communicate with each other. And now we can see that Yunnan's border trade is active and economic development, and all tribes have benefited from it, and some tribes are even richer. ”

"The marshal just said that only economic development is the most important task for the benefit of the people, otherwise, a life of poverty can only wear down the people's will and lead to the spread of ignorant and backward ideas.

Speaking of which, in fact, it is caused by the backwardness of Zhenxiong's economy. I have long been envious of the gratifying situation in Yunnan's development. If Zhenxiong can also have this kind of change, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, the tribes will communicate with each other, and the people's primary goal will be shifted to economic development, the estrangement between the various tribes will be more easily eliminated, the antagonism between the tribes will be eliminated a lot, the internal strife will be reduced, and other difficulties can be omitted. ”

"Therefore, it is not that the marshal wants us to self-determination, but we now sincerely hope to learn from the ways and methods of Yunnan's economic development, to improve the livelihood of Zhenxiong, and improve the living conditions of the people, so as to eliminate the contradictions that have always existed, so that Zhenxiong can be peaceful and the tribes can live in harmony, which is my Tao Yue's greatest wish in this life."

"I hope that the marshal will be gracious and appoint competent officials to come and guide him, so that Zhenxiong can get out of the poverty and backwardness as soon as possible and benefit the people of Li."

As soon as Tao Yue's words fell, Li Yi had already taken the lead in applauding.

Everyone didn't know why, but Li Yi's heart was like a mirror. I secretly praised in my heart, this Tao Yue is really not simple!
