Li Yibai's huge actions in the local area also attracted local officials. But it's just an official at the prefect level. The local prefect was lower than Li Yibai, and Li Yibai was an important position, and he was an official in the Jiangnan heavy tax area where the emperor relied on him. Of course, the local prefect could not afford to offend.

When they saw Li Yibai, they kept clinging. Li Yibai also saved face for them and dealt with them one by one. Li Yibai mainly thinks that although these guys are officials in the poor countryside, they are always good not to offend others on their own territory, so that these guys will not make trouble.

The top priority of the heavy industry of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Yibai did not dare to take it lightly. These prefects heard that Li Yibai was still a national teacher, a close minister of the emperor, and also knew Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei. They were even more attached and said,

'Please take the envoy with you.' ’

Li Yibai said with a smile,

You're welcome. A few people who help me take care of my industry, don't let the bullies go to make trouble, I will naturally say a few good words for a few people in front of the emperor. ’

When several local officials heard Li Yibai say this, they were all excited, and they patted their chests to reassure.

"Let's reassure adults. The business of the adult is the business of the lower official. As long as the lower officials are here, no one dares to move here to transfer every penny of the adults. ’

Li Yibai smiled and nodded.

After explaining these things, Li Yibai dispatched 50 guards from Lin'an, and he returned to Lin'an with confidence.

After Li Yibai and Long Wu returned to Lin'an, they immediately began to plan and build a legal society.

But after all, he was just a local transshipment envoy. The Great Song Dynasty emphasized the separation of powers and rule by local officials to prevent local confrontation with the central government.

So Li Yibai has no way to say anything in Lin'an. Although Liu Erqiu is wearing a pair of pants with him. But Lin'an also has a general judge, and there is also a commander in charge of the garrison. and the Punishment Lord, who is in charge of punishment. These people are not very familiar with Li Yibai.

'Daddy. Although our influence in Lin'an is very large. But the grown-ups don't necessarily listen to us. So Dad still has to walk around in the court. Raise the official position again. It is better to rise to pacify the envoys. In this way, some decrees can be issued for the magistrate to carry out. ’

Ryugo suggested.

'Long Wu, you're right. Although the emperor listened to me a little, it was not as big an official as I wanted to be in the court. The imperial court also had a lot of power held by Cai Jing and Tong Guan. They are my sworn enemies, and I guess if I want to be promoted, they will definitely do it. ’

So what are we going to do. I co-opted these magistrates and bribed them to implement our new policy? ’

Ryugo suggested again.

'You've got a good idea. This can be tried, after all, as long as we don't rebel. Do not disobey the emperor. What we do, the general court will not care. But I don't think that's always the way to go. We have now built heavy industry in Sichuan. Our heavy industry is very important, and in the future, natural gas pipelines will also be built to Lin'an.

These efforts are across the country. At present, I can still suppress those local officials in Sichuan. But what if we end up somewhere else? What if we encounter a snake who is not afraid of death and makes trouble with us? What if we inflict their losses in the reforms? They will be against us at all their might.

So I had to get a big official position. So that I can coordinate the whole country, and I can control them. Only in this way can the construction of our whole country be carried out safely and stably. ’

'It's still Daddy's thoughtfulness. That's right, now our factory has been built outside of Lin'an. Yes, we rely on strong powers to protect. Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have not been separated. Dad, you still have to find a way to run a big official. It doesn't matter how much we spend. ’

Long Wu admired Li Yibai's thinking, and at the same time agreed with his opinion.

'Hmm. So for a long time in the future, the business of Lin'an will be handed over to you. I'm going to Bianliang to get a big official to sit in. ’

'Daddy. We have no foundation in the court, and it will be very dangerous for you to go. You'd better be careful. ’

Long Wu said with concern.

'Hmm. Don't worry, son. I have a space-time teleportation system, and when I'm in danger, I'll just run away. You are good at operating in Lin'an. If something happens to you. You can fly to Bianliang and report to me. ’

'Yes, Daddy. The child knows. ’

Long Wu nodded.

Immediately, Li Yibai sent Xue Jiade to escort 200,000 taels of silver to Bianliang. He flew directly to Bianliang. The 200,000 taels of silver are the taxes of Lin'an this year. Naturally, he wanted to be promoted in the court. You have to have a good performance. This money is only a small part of it for yourself. He gave it for the people of Lin'an for the time being. He just wants the people of Lin'an to reduce their burden and hurry up the reform and transformation.

In addition to Xue Jiade in Bianliang, Master Li also followed Li Yibai to Bianliang.

The reason why Li Yibai took Li Shishi was that Li Shishi was familiar with Bianliang's situation and was there. He can understand the officialdom of the capital more quickly.

As soon as Li Yibai arrived in Bianliang, he first bought a house in Bianliang. Then he immediately used the name of Master Li to send invitations to the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital.

These people are, Jia Yi, Zhao Qing, Yao Qisheng and so on. After these people arrived at Li Yibai's house, they saw that Master Li had become Li Yibai's wife, and they were all discouraged.

However, they were still very happy to see Master Li, plus Li Yibai was already a national teacher, and he was also a famous Jingshi who was favored in front of the emperor. These people are not stupid, they all want to befriend Li Yibai.

Generally, the old people in the capital like to make new friends. Especially like Li Yibai, who has just entered the Beijing Division and has just gained the favor of the emperor. They all want to take advantage of Li Yibai. They didn't know that Li Yibai wanted to use them more.

They were at Li Yibai's house, drinking a little on the third day and a big drink on the fifth day.

Every day is just like that, drinking and entertaining. After a long time, they drank their feelings.

At this time, Xue Jiade's silver ship also arrived in Bianliang.

Li Yibai knew that he could act.

The next day, I went to court.

Song Huizong sat in the court with an unhappy look on his face again.

Li Yibai also saw that he was unhappy, of course a literary emperor like him didn't like government affairs.

'Your Majesty, the minister has already paid Lin'an's taxes today. The silver ship has arrived in Beijing. ’

Song Huizong's face lit up, and the silver was collected. That's a good thing.

'The national teacher is doing a great job. The national teacher has worked hard. ’

Li Yibai said politely again, "It's all the emperor's sage, and the ministers can collect the taxes within half a year, and now Lin'an is richer than before." ’

When Li Yibai said these words, of course, he was praising his political achievements.

'Your Majesty, the national teacher is a talent of warp and weft. Within half a year, Lin'an's tax revenue will be raised, which is much more powerful than the previous officials. Therefore, the minister wanted to recommend the national teacher to be promoted to the pacification envoy of Lin'an. In charge of the full authority of Lin'an. ’

It was Zhao Qing of the King of Jiangxia County who spoke.

Zhao Qing and Li Yibai have been drinking for so long, and Li Yibai confessed to him yesterday. Of course, he also received Li Yibai's bouncy ball.

"Your Majesty, what the King of Jiangxia is right. The talent of the national teacher can simply be promoted to the prime minister. He was really condescending to be a transfer envoy in Lin'an. Now when my Great Song is in need of money and food, if I hand over the entire Lin'an to him to manage. He will definitely be able to collect more taxes, and he will definitely govern Lin'an better. And as far as I know, the reputation of the national teacher in Lin'an is very high, and he hates the people. ’

It was Jia Yi who spoke with his hand, and he also stood up to say good things for Li Yibai.

Of course, Jia Yi also accepted Li Yibai's bouncy ball, and also drank at Li Yibai's house all day long.

But it turned out that Gao Yu, who had always said that he was a family member with Li Yibai, did not stand up and speak for Li Yibai. Gao Yu is experienced, and when there is no exchange of interests, he will not contribute easily.

'Your Majesty, the ministers think it is absolutely impossible. It was Lu Ming, the prefect of Yangzhou, who stood up to speak, "As far as the minister knows, Li Yibai has more than 100 personal guards in Lin'an, and as an official of the imperial court, he also sells illicit salt. These are all great sins. Li Yibai did all these things with bad intentions, so Li Yibai can't be reused. ’

Lu Ming was determined to oppose Li Yibai. Because Li Yibai once won him in a football game. and Li Yibai slapped him in the face. He deeply remembered the scene when Li Yibai slapped him in the face. He will not forgive Li Yibai until he dies. He hated Li Yibai.

The minister also thought that Li Yibai was overwhelmed. Li Yibai built a factory in Jiangnan to produce cotton cloth, which led to civil unrest in Shandong. It can be said that the culprit of this civil unrest is Li Yibai. He opened a factory and caused a large production of cotton cloth, which caused the cotton cloth in the north to be low, and the people could not make a living in turn.

The emperor and ministers thought that Li Yibai should not only not be promoted, but should also be punished. ’

It was Cai Jing, the prime minister of the dynasty, who spoke.

Cai Jing is Lu Ming's father-in-law, and the two of them must stand together, in order to suppress Li Yibai, Cai Jing was unceremonious, and directly attributed the cause of the civil unrest to Li Yibai.

He didn't say that it was all because the taxes in the Northern Song Dynasty were too heavy. As the prime minister, he did not exhort the emperor to be economical, but took the lead in extravagance and waste, exploiting the people, which was the cause of the people's unrest.

Song Huizong sat on the throne and hesitated, and he didn't know whose words he was going to believe. He was afraid that the ministers would form a party for their own purposes, but he could also feel that these people had a party.

'This. What is Gao Yu's opinion? ’

Song Huizong pushed this problem to Gao Yu.

Gao Yu is cunning and abnormal, he doesn't want to offend Cai Jing, and at the same time helps Li Yibai inexplicably.

'Your Majesty, you can decide this. I think they all have a point. ’

Song Huizong was also a little disappointed in Li Yibai because Li Yibai had not brought him the will of Tianzun, and this promotion was not proposed by Li Yibai. Moreover, Prime Minister Cai Jing is opposed, and he has always handed over all military affairs to Cai Jing. He was reassured. He has a dependence on Cai Jing. So he decided not to allow Li Yibai to be promoted this time.

'Do what Cai Xiangye said. The national teacher continued to serve as the Lin'an transit envoy. Retreat. (To be continued......)
