Li Yi hurriedly replied humbly: "Shibo is an all-round man in literature and martial arts, and he has laid a great foundation for my Han Dynasty, and he is able to govern the country with ease, so that my Han is proud to be independent of Lingnan and Guangzhou, and Shibo's generation is the backbone of my Han Dynasty." ”

"My nephew is young and shallow, not calm enough, and more than impetuous, how can he have the ability to bear such a heavy burden, how dare he be worthy of the false praise of the uncle."

Wang Dingbao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hehe! What fallacies? Alas! The old man is still afraid that you will make fun of it. In the past two or three years in Ningyuandao, the old man has been exhausted and exhausted, and he feels powerless day by day. It's just that he was afraid that he would be entrusted by the imperial court, so he beat his spirit and did his best. ”

"Virtuous nephews, don't be presumptuous. In my opinion, the future life and death of the Han will be maintained by the elites of your younger generation, if one is not noticed, the decline of the Han will only be in a blink of an eye, and the virtuous nephew will have a long way to go in the future! ”

Li Yi nodded slowly and said: "The lesson of Shibo is that since the defeat of Shibo and the retirement of Yang Shangshu, now my Han is in crisis, but there is no person with both virtue and ability to solve the problems of my dynasty. If it continues like this, the future of my Han is really worrying! ”

Wang Dingbao smiled indifferently and said: "As the saying goes, things are man-made, if you are complacent and do not want to forge ahead, no matter how good the situation is, it will not be maintained." Just like my current mentality, my heart is more than enough but my strength is insufficient, and my body can no longer support it, and if I want to save the building, there is absolutely no such possibility. ”

"And the virtuous nephew was back then, and his heart was slightly unmatched, and I have great expectations for you. In addition, the emperor has always favored you, if it takes time, with your pretentious posture and selfless and fearless mind, you will be able to lead people of insight to set things right, rectify the dynasty, and lay a thousand-year-old immortal foundation for the Han Dynasty, and my Wang Dingbao will also be able to look down under the nine springs. ”

Li Yi's heart tightened, and he said: "Why did Shi Bo say this!" My nephew's ability is low, his talent is shallow, and he wants to rely on Shibo's guidance in many ways to increase his talents and knowledge, so that I can wait for the future to gather armpits into Qiu, and do some good deeds for the people of my Han Dynasty. How could Shibo let go and let his nephew sigh empty! ”

Wang Dingbao didn't seem to hear Li Yi's words, the muscles on his old face trembled slightly, his gray beard fluttered, and tears flashed faintly in his pale yellow eyes, and he sighed gloomily after a long time: "Alas! Back then, the old man served as the Hunan Observation Inspector as the preferred Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty, but he unexpectedly encountered a mutiny, and then went to Lingnan. ”

"Emperor Xiang and today's saints have been very gracious to me, giving me high-ranking officials and generous gifts, entrusting me with military and political power, rushing to the north and south, turning to the Quartet, and achieving the foundation of the territory of more than 60 states in the Han Dynasty, which can be regarded as living up to the expectations of the two emperors."

"Alas! Our king Dingbao I was competitive and never left behind. Now the two unscrupulous sons and daughters only know cockfighting, lackeys, feasting and singing, and there is still a little bit of what I looked like back then. If they can have the best of your ability, I will be satisfied. ”

"Speaking of which, the old man has no way to discipline him, but he is to blame, for fear that they will cause a catastrophe, and the Wang family will be afraid that there will be no place to bury him. Alas! Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and after a hundred years, when my eyes are closed, where is there anything to worry about! ”

Hearing this, Li Yi knew that Wang Dingbao was wise, and his two sons were so uncompromising, which made him sigh here, and he thought that he sighed after comparing himself with himself. It's just that I really don't understand what these two benevolent brothers have done, and I don't know where to start.

Thinking of this, Li Yi had no choice but to comfort him: "Shibo is talented and capable, and he has always been my minister. is the so-called deep love and responsibility, but I am afraid that because of this, I will be harsh on the two brothers. They will teach you by word and deed, and they will never do anything unscrupulous. ”

Wang Dingbao shook his head slowly, sighed and said, "Hehe! These two unscrupulous people are behaving in front of them, and they are arrogant and unscrupulous, I have already sent someone to find out, how could I have wronged them. When I'm a hundred years later, I have to trouble you to stand up for them! ”

Li Yi knew that this Wang Dingbao had long been clear about his two sons' temperament, but he was just worried that they would have no scruples and commit an unforgivable sin, so that the entire Wang family would be implicated.

And some information has already been revealed in his words, that is, he will do his best to support me to the throne, and the exchange condition is that he will take care of his children and grandchildren in the future.

It's just that he is now in Pingyang, and his power is much less than before, so it's not easy to say it too clearly.

Alas! Regardless of ancient times, parents are meticulous about their children, which is also human nature, even if Wang Dingbao is a generation of famous ministers like Wang Dingbao, who is unparalleled in the world, it is not exempt from vulgarity!

At this time, Wang Dingbao changed his words and said: "I heard that Yunnan has not only set up the Tzu Chi General Association for poverty alleviation and widowhood, but also set up printing bureaus, medical bureaus and other institutions for the convenience of the people. ”

Seeing that Wang Dingbao was interested in this, Li Yi said happily: "In fact, as soon as I arrived in Yunnan, I wanted to vigorously develop local education, but for ordinary people, general books are very expensive, and many people want to buy them but can't afford them, mainly because engraving printing is time-consuming, laborious and costly." ”

"So, in order to reduce the cost of books, I worked with skilled craftsmen in Yunnan to find the trick of movable type printing. Books printed with movable wooden type, movable type, etc., are not only beautifully printed and legible, but also greatly reduce the cost of books. In addition, we continue to update the production methods and materials of paper, and the cost of each book is less than 20% of the original, so it greatly reduces the cost of books for the people. ”

"In order to promote the development of education in Yunnan, we have set up this printing bureau specializing in printing books. Whether it is all kinds of subsets of scriptures and history, poems and books, or all kinds of educational books used by students, they can be printed as quickly as possible, and the price can also be accepted by people. The Yunnan Printing Company operates at a small profit, especially educational books, which are sold at almost a small profit, and there are also subsidies from the government, and the people of Yunnan are quite satisfied with this. ”

Hearing this, Wang Dingbao couldn't help but praise: "The virtuous nephew's move is really very popular!" I didn't expect you to know how to do tricks in addition to poetry and books, I can't help but be impressed! I have already seen all the books you sent yesterday, and I really can't imagine that some scattered ancient books can be restored to their original appearance, and everyone can get them and circulate them, wouldn't it be to the best use? ”

"Huh! What a good deed! Oh! By the way, what's going on with your medical bureau? ”
