Chapter 289: The Radical
At this time, Zheng Gu interjected from the side: "What Brother Cui Xian said, my brother dare not agree. Yunnan has been accumulating disadvantages for a long time, and it is not so easy to achieve results overnight. In my opinion, it is not easy for Yunnan to develop into its current state, and it can be seen that the rulers have put a lot of thought into it. ”
"In the past few days, the vast majority of the people I have seen have praised Li Dashuai, which shows the people's aspirations. As long as this continues to develop, the grand occasion of Yunnan is just around the corner. ”
Yang Zantu next to him also nodded and said: "What Brother Zheng said is extremely true, Yunnan has recently quelled two rebellions, accepted tens of thousands of victims in southern Sichuan, and has also experienced the test of floods and droughts once in a century, and it is not easy for people's livelihood to not decline. ”
"I think that the people of Yunnan are now living and working in peace and contentment, and their morale is quite high, and the days to come will definitely get better and better, and this is all due to the benefits brought by the idea of relying on Marshal Li to govern for the people, so what are we not satisfied with?"
Cui Jiruo laughed when he heard this: "The two virtuous brothers have said all the good things, but they can't cover up the frequent shortcomings in Yunnan. What we saw and heard in Fuyuan Tax Management and Shangpu Village, did the two of you forget it so quickly? Look at the ugly face of that tax collector, as long as you offer a little bribe, no matter what goods you are transporting, how much quantity, you will unconditionally clear customs clearance, where is there still principles, laws to speak of, is it obviously a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials? ”
"And the children in Shangpu Village, according to the villagers, the government originally paid for the children's school tuition, and they only needed to bring some paper and pencils. However, the local government forcibly apportioned the villagers, and even the villagers' tables, chairs and benches had to be brought by themselves. ”
"There is also the so-called work of encouraging the people to build roads and bridges, as long as the people are willing, it is okay for every household to contribute some efforts, but the officials of the local township, holding the construction fees issued above, still forcibly extort and extort from the local villagers, causing the people to complain. Let's ask, whose pockets did these forced money go into? ”
"The three of us have seen and heard appalling along the way, and there are many unfair and unreasonable incidents. The former sages said well, 'do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness', the officials are full of fat and wealthy, and the people are bullied and oppressed, and they cannot eat enough three meals a day, but they still have to bear these unreasonable burdens, and they dare not excuse themselves, and they dare to be angry but dare not speak. ”
"It seems that the officials are rich and the people are poor, how can we talk about living and working in peace and contentment, and the four seas are peaceful. Zhugong is blind, and he can't see Mount Tai! ”
Cui Jiruo's deafening complaint was about to come out, and everyone fell silent in an instant. These unfair and unreasonable phenomena that exist in society today are all imaginable to everyone, and they are also unavoidable in the process of reform and development.
Therefore, some people deeply believe in these ugly phenomena, and some people do not think so, and if Cui Ji is even more extreme, he will not only lash out at these individual phenomena that will inevitably not be eradicated in a short period of time, but also directly point at Li Yi, who is the supreme governor of Yunnan, and say that he is so unbearable, I am afraid that it is a bit too extreme.
Li Yi hasn't spoken yet, and the wine and food have already been put on the table. Lu Lizhan filled everyone with wine, and then he picked up the wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yang, Brother Zheng, Brother Cui, the three of them are my close friends, although we have not seen each other for many years, but the friendship between us is eternal." We meet here today, but we are fortunate to have the arrival of the handsome, which is really a gratifying and congratulatory event. ”
"Dashuai is a heroic hero who has worked hard and dedicated to the people of Yunnan, and has paid countless energy and painstaking efforts. The elders of Yunnan saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and they all felt relieved and happy to have such a parent official. ”
"I Lu Lizhan's temperament and temperament you also know very well, if it weren't for the broad-mindedness of the handsome, I would never go out of the mountain to resume the old business, this will be known by you for a long time."
"What Brother Cui said is deafening, how can we not understand Brother Cui's hard work! It's just that there is no such thing as perfection in the world, and it is impossible to achieve perfection and satisfaction for everyone. ”
"Nowadays, under the guidance of Dashuai's new policy, the scene of Yunnan has taken on a new look, and the people's lives are thriving.
"'Tao Li does not speak, the next is its own', the merits and demerits, our descendants commented, as long as we do our own work in a down-to-earth manner, all difficulties will be solved, why worry about Yunnan is not prosperous!"
Li Yi happily raised his glass and said: "There must still be such and such deficiencies in Yunnan, and we need to work hard to improve." Yunnan has come out of the turmoil, and the stubborn diseases left over from such as the unhealthy atmosphere of officialdom, the neglect of the people's suffering, the excessive collection of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and even the lack of morality, the failure to repair the armor and soldiers, and the chaotic administration of officials still exist to a greater or lesser extent. ”
"These problems require the joint efforts of officials at all levels in the management of local affairs, as well as local scholars and people from all walks of life, to improve legal constraints, strengthen the dissemination of moral education, and promote universal education, so that there will be a major change in the social atmosphere, so as to promote the development of Yunnan in all aspects step by step."
"Only when people have abundant money and do not have to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation can we effectively eliminate all kinds of inequalities. Although we are not doing enough, I am confident that we will build Yunnan into a prosperous and peaceful land in the next few years, so please wait and see. ”
After saying this, Li Yi took a drink from the wine glass, and looked at the few people present, with a sense of affection in his eyes.
Everyone sang the promise together and drank the glass of wine, and even Cui Jiruo, who had been expressionless, silently raised the wine glass, and sighed after thinking for a while: "It's not like I don't know, I'm scared." The reputation of the four great talents of Lingnan is not comparable to that of my 'Lingnan Seven Monsters'. Li Dashuai's reputation is full of two wide, and his deeds of wholeheartedly seeking the welfare of the people are well deserved! ”
"It's just that Yunnan is not as civilized as Xingwangfu, although Xingwangfu also has many extravagant habits, but because of the four dimensions of courtesy, righteousness and shame, the phenomenon of corruption has to be curtailed much more. However, Yunnan has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and backwardness and ignorance are full of it, but for a while, where can it accept the bath of morality, if corrupt officials and corrupt officials are allowed to run rampant, its harm will increase several times, but it is not something that we can control. ”
