Li Yi looked directly into Liu Yan's eyes and continued: "The second is to build a school in Guangzhou, vigorously promote education, promote the rule of virtue, introduce moral examples, and encourage the people to follow suit. The ultimate purpose of education is to instill the mind, vigorously propagate orthodox ideas such as loyalty, filial piety, honesty and righteousness, so that those who have the intention to cause chaos will look ahead and look backward and dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool. ”

"All this should start from the baby, if the law is implemented properly, it can ensure at least 30 years of peace and prosperity. If it is supplemented by the Prudent Criminal Punishment Law, all the policies and laws that were unpopular in the past of Fujian should be abolished. ”

"And the law of our Han Dynasty implemented in Chaozhou must be strictly enforced, but also used cautiously, and the voices of the people must be listened to at any time, conform to the will of the people, and make the majority of the people feel satisfied, but he is afraid of the punishment of the law, how can he deliberately make trouble?"

"Thirdly, it is the wealthy who dominate the political economy in a country, but it is often the common people who are most affected, and if we can effectively exempt some of the taxes paid in Teochew, it will be this group of people who will benefit. Ordinary people may not be able to make much waves, but their word of mouth spreads, and their influence is very huge. ”

"Therefore, Weichen suggested that at least the imperial court should consider exempting Chaozhou from taxes for more than three years, and appropriately reduce their servitude, so that they can feel the hope of living and have expectations for the future, even if there are some troublemakers, they will definitely not be this kind of people."

"Of course, my three strategies are not perfect, and if we want to achieve long-term peace and stability, we need to have a series of relevant supporting measures to improve them. These measures should also be continuously improved in practice so as to conform to the actual needs of the people and to the changes in the actual situation. ”

After listening to Li Yikankan, Liu Yan nodded approvingly and said: "In my opinion, if you want to implement these propositions, you should be the most suitable person, why don't you want to share your worries for me?" ”

Li Yi sighed and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood Weichen. It is not that the minister is unwilling to take on this important responsibility, but that the minister is not qualified enough, his reputation is not obvious, and he is not well known to the people of Chaozhou, so it will not have the desired effect. ”

"You must know that in this turbulent time, it is urgent for a person with profound qualifications and great reputation to go to the pacification in order to highlight the attention of the Han court, and to convince the Chaozhou people that the implementation of these policies and laws is true and reliable, and finally to receive miraculous results."

"And a young and junior person like me will not only fail to achieve the goal of winning people's hearts, but may even backfire, thus causing the locals to question that the situation is not what we hoped."

Liu Yan nodded silently, and after pondering for a while, he hesitated: "You are very right, but there are a few people in my court who are suitable for this condition, such as Wang Dingbao, the squire of Zhongshu, Liu Jun, the servant of the door, Zhou Bang of the Imperial History, etc., all meet this condition, but they are all very busy with government affairs, and they dare not let them leave Beijing easily." Who the others will send is a great deal of confusion for me. Li Yi! Who do you think is the best fit? ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is really not something that Weichen can put his beak, how dare Weichen discuss the government in vain?" ”

Liu Yan smiled: "It's okay to talk about it, you can recommend a few people, and it's up to me to decide." ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, there are many famous people in our court, such as the left servant shooting Lu Ying, the right servant shooting Wang Ling, the Chongwen envoy Xiao Yi, the Leping County Wang Wei Chengxun, as well as the provincial secretaries, various ministries, etc., are all qualified and famous, how can there be no one to send?" ”

Liu Yan showed a relieved expression and said with a smile: "As soon as you say this, I know it in my heart. In a few days, I will choose a good candidate, and immediately go to Chaozhou with the festival, and be sure to calm this place in a short time. Hehe! You've solved a big problem for me, how should I reward you? ”

As he spoke, Liu Yan untied a square white jade pendant from his waist, which looked warm and smooth, and looked good, which should be the best in jade.

He smiled and said to Li Yi: "This jade pendant has been with me for more than ten years, and it was still presented to me by the envoy of the Annan Festival back then, and I will reward it to you today!" ”

Li Yi was surprised and delighted, and said how dare he be, but he leaned over and took it after bowing and thanking him, and played with it in his hand for a while, feeling that this jade was extraordinary.

At this time, Liu Yan smiled and said: "This piece of beautiful jade is worth a lot of money, and I am a little unwilling to reward you, so I always have to pay you more." Hehe! I have one more thing to ask you, I don't know what good ideas you have. ”

Li Yi hurriedly bowed down and said, "If the emperor goes back on his word, aren't you afraid of Weichen's slander?" ”

Liu Yan laughed and said, "Haha! I didn't break my promise, I just wanted you to have another idea. You should also know that the South China Sea has been a headache for me lately, and although there have been frequent floods there for hundreds of years, they have become more and more severe in recent years. If this continues, there will be no more arable land in the South China Sea, and the people will be displaced. ”

"Alas! The most worrying thing is that the erosion of the rivers and seas in recent years has been constantly approaching the capital. ”

Li Yi nodded and said: "Weichen only learned about this situation after returning to Beijing, and he also knew that His Majesty had already sent people to inspect several times, but he had not yet found a cure. In Yichen's view, although the flood is fierce, as long as an effective strategy is formulated according to local conditions, effective manpower is dispatched, and the imperial court comes up with sufficient funds, it is not impossible to curb the development of this situation. I'm afraid that if there is no perseverance and faith, then it will be impossible to think. ”

Liu Yan frowned and said: "What you said is light, the floods formed in the past few hundred years have already been terminally ill, and it is extremely difficult to cure them radically, even if you want to curb the momentum of this development, it is not easy." I know you're not an expert in this either, so I'm just worried and I'm just going to ask you. ”

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Although Weichen does not have this ability, the minister can recommend a talent, who is a person who has made great achievements in flood control." Although he held a humble official position, he had a unique and insightful mind, and he had a successful precedent in Yunnan. If Your Majesty doesn't have a suitable candidate, you might as well let him give it a try. ”

Liu Yan was stunned and said, "Oh! It doesn't hurt that my official position is low, and I have nothing to do now, so I can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. If he can stop the spread of this flood, I will certainly not treat him badly. Who is this person you are talking about? ”

Li Yi hurriedly said: "This person's name is Lin Jin, who was originally a priest of the Yunnan Xuanfu Embassy to join the army, and has been brought to Beijing by the minister, and is now a subordinate official of the Ministry of Industry. The minister also took a fancy to his talent, so he brought him to Beijing. It's just that he is now in the Ministry of Industry, and Weichen has no right to call him. ”
