After listening to He Shoujie's sonorous and powerful words, Wei Jing sat there with a sluggish expression, his weak body trembled slightly, and the expression on his face was uncertain, and he couldn't say a word.

Li Yi saw that he seemed to be a little tempted, but he probably still couldn't bear to bow his head and admit his guilt, and still hesitated there, knowing that it was time to give him a blow to the head, so that he woke up completely.

pretended to be a little pity, and said gloomily: "Unbelievable! I originally thought that Sun Decheng used to be a fierce general who galloped on the battlefield, and the person he could promote was more or less a hero with heart and insight, but I didn't expect to see it today, it was really disappointing. ”

"Alas! A good son, it is the time to make meritorious contributions and serve the country, but there is no reason to complain about the heavens and people here, and he does not want to forge ahead, which is really like a piece of rotten wood, what is the use of this kind of person. General He, let's go back! ”

After speaking, Li Yi turned around and slowly walked towards the prison door.

He Shoujie shook his head hatefully, sighed and walked out after him.

As soon as Li Yi stepped out of the prison door, he heard Wei Jing sigh deeply and shouted, "Li Dashuai! General Ho! I, Wei Jing, thank you two for your guidance, I have no family and no worries. ”

"It's not too late to wake up when you're dying, it's better than being a fool. Alas! ”

Li Yi turned around abruptly and said in his heart, I'll give you another chance!

Ran said: "Wei Jing, the times create heroes, now is the right time, you want to be a fool, don't you want to be an understanding person?" ”

Wei Jing is probably also blessed to the soul, and when he heard Li Yi say this, there was no longer a trace of hesitation.

He struggled to get up, staggered to the front of the prison door, fell to his knees with a 'poof', and said in a hoarse voice: "Da Shuai is full of courage and tells me, an ignorant and ignorant person, if Wei Jing still doesn't understand, he is really confused. ”

Li Yi slowly stopped, turned around and smiled slightly: "From this point of view, you are still a person who understands current affairs." I, Li Yi, have always valued a man with affection and righteousness, although you can't repay Sun Decheng for his kindness, but I told you that Sun Decheng is a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for many years, and he will not be confused in major matters. ”

"You are still very young, in the future, as long as you put the society and the people first and national security as the priority, what prejudice will you not be able to give up!"

"Get up! Later, I will have someone send you to the Xuanfu Embassy, follow me as a personal soldier first, and then lead the army when I have the opportunity! ”

Wei Jing kowtowed to Li Yi a few times, his eyes were firm, and his tone was resolute: "Wei Jing is reincarnated as a human being, and only then can he understand the good intentions of the handsome. I wish to follow the handsome for the rest of my life, go to the soup for the handsome, and never give up. ”

Li Yi nodded, helped Wei Jing up with his own hands, and instructed the jailer to unshackle him, change his clothes, and send him to the Xuanfu Envoy's Mansion later.

On the way back, He Shoujie leaned over and said, "Marshal, since Wei Jing has sincerely returned, but the other twenty-six officers, what do you think about it?" ”

After thinking for a while, Li Yi said: "Regardless of sincerity or hypocrisy, Yunnan is now the time to employ people, and since they can wake up, we must give them a chance." ”

"You go back and screen it, the virtuous and talented people are sent to the army for demotion and use, in order to see the after-effects, the virtuous and untalented people are assigned to the counties and townships as lieutenants and governors, and the rest of the people are all used as hard labor, and they are dismissed and returned to their hometowns after three years of service."

"Ben Shuai wants to make these people understand that only they can save themselves, and obsessiveness is a dead end, and no one can save them."

He Shoujie was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly agreed.

The day has come for the envoy to return to Beijing, and Shao Tingjuan and others, who had stayed in Yunnan for seventeen or eighteen days, are finally going to return to Beijing.

Although Li Yi has repeatedly retained, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival of family reunion in another 20 days, and as the festival is approaching, he cannot stay for a long time.

Of course, they want to return to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival, first, to pay tribute to the emperor and present the tribute items from Yunnan, and second, who doesn't want to have a family reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival!

In order to express the intentions of Yunnan and to make the emperor recognize the reality of Yunnan, Li Yi arranged for various departments to prepare tributes with great fanfare.

All kinds of items with local characteristics of Yunnan must be prepared in sufficient quantities.

And all the things that are presented to the emperor for enjoyment, of course, the envoys are also not less, and they also have to prepare some for the princes and ministers, although they are not as exquisite and thoughtful as those presented to the emperor, but they are also quite rich.

Of course, these expenses must also be done within their means, Yunnan does not have much oil and water, and all the expenses are from the 200,000 yuan of money rewarded by the imperial court.

Because of the scarcity, abundance, and eye-catching, the cost of a lot of money is really staggering, and there is almost nothing left over from these rewards.

The preparation of these tributes, Lin Yi had already thought of in advance.

When he first came, he began to prepare, and after more than ten days, he was very busy, and under the planning and collection of many parties, he finally prepared the tribute.

According to Lin Yi's report, this time the screening and raising of tribute can be said to be the first time that Yunnan has suffered from the sky.

In order to reflect the advantages of Yunnan's abundant products, almost all the forces of Yunnan were mobilized to turn over Yunnan and beyond. As long as it is unique to the Yunnan region and scarce in the capital, whether it is running in the mountains, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, whether it is precious herbs, jade jewelry, or local rare specialties, this time it will be all in one catch. If it is not abundant, Li Yi will really be in a hurry.

Looking at the list of tributes to the emperor, Li Yi's head was dizzy.

Depend on! Where did these things come from, and it was really difficult for Lin Yi.

I saw that the list detailed the following part of the tribute items:

six pairs of rhino horns; six pairs of ivory; a pair of bee monkeys; a pair of peacocks; a two-meter-high Buddha statue carved by Nanmu; a two-meter-high Guanyin statue carved by Nanmu; a statue of Maitreya Buddha in Huanglongyu; a set of white jade wine utensils; six pairs of yellow dragon jade bracelets; one case each for red, blue, and emerald; hibiscus stone, Tianhe stone, epidote stone, agate, jadeite each case; a screen made of fine teak; A set of Go chessboards made of selected iron wood; The unsinkable iron power wood hexagonal when entering the water; 100 catties of fine Yunnan black tea; 600 pounds of high-quality sucrose; 30 catties of cordyceps; 60 catties of high-grade gastrodia; Superior three seven hundred pounds; 100 pounds of fine walnuts; 60 urns of craft wine; and 100 fine Dian horses.

The tributes listed above are all dedicated to the emperor, and although they only account for a part of the total tribute, they are quite amazing.
