"Lord Li, you invite the toasts to eat, drink and visit the Qinglou every day, and you don't do your job, if the emperor knows, I'm afraid you will cut off your head!"

At the county government office of Hepu County, Zhu Biao was a little angry and complained loudly to Li Jin, who looked drunk:

"It's only been half a month, and you've already spent 10,000 taels of silver."

"If we continue like this, we may not have enough silver!!"

Li Jin disagreed, waved his hand casually, and said:

"Silver, what does the official have, what are you afraid of?"

Zhu Biao saw that Li Jin looked like a big dog, and immediately said angrily:

"Your silver has been confiscated by the emperor before he bought your life."

"The money you spend now is all my private money, where did you get the money?"

Only then did Li Jin open his worried eyes and shook his head, as if he had just remembered his situation.

He smiled awkwardly and said:

"Then treat it as if the official borrowed you, and when the official is developed, I will return it to you."

Since Li Jin's Tokyo Massacre, Zhu Yuanzhang has deposited all the assets of Shanghu County and Li Jin into the state treasury, leaving Li Jin with nothing.

Now whether it is the silver to buy grain or the daily expenses, it is basically all Zhu Biao's silver, and Li Jin has become a poor egg.

Zhu Biao saw that Li Jin looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said speechlessly:

"You're already poor like this, when will you be able to prosper?"

"You better don't invite those toasts to eat, drink and have fun, these people are all friends with wine and meat, what is there to make friends with?"

"They're only here to take advantage of you."

"Who told you to give free relief to the victims? When the natives heard that there was free relief food to receive, they naturally smelled it. ”

"In my opinion, these natives are simply wolf cubs who can't be fed, and they don't deserve relief at all."

"Wrong, big mistake!!"

Li Jin's eyes gradually regained their clarity at this moment, and he directly refuted Zhu Biao, saying:

"You, although you are said to be noble and the relatives of the emperor are high, but your vision and pattern are still too small after all."

"You can't always focus on the surface, you have to see the essence through the phenomenon, so that you can open up the pattern."

Zhu Biao was not annoyed but happy when he heard Li Jin refute him, because this showed that Li Jin's seemingly playful behavior may have a deeper reason.

This made Zhu Biao suddenly interested, and asked out loud:

"What do you mean by this, Lord Li?"

Li Jin sat up from the recliner, then poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip of tea, and said:

"It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, and this official will teach you another trick."

"There is a saying that there is no free lunch in the world, and when a free lunch appears in front of you, you must be careful and vigilant."

"Because he may not just want the money for a lunch, but your waist."

"Kidneys? What's that? ”

Zhu Biao's face was puzzled.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to be aware of it."

Li Jin waved his hand and continued:

"Since last year, the emperor sent a large army to recover Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, due to the complex local situation, high mountains and dense forests, and the entrenchment of Tusi, the jurisdiction in these places is extremely relaxed."

"Even for this reason, the management of the Tusi of the Yuan Dynasty was continued, allowing these Tusi to be autonomous, barely maintaining the apparent rule."

"But these rules are extremely weak, these Tusi have been entrenched in Yunnan, Guichuan and other places for a long time, and even since the Tang Dynasty, their ancestors have lived here, so most of the Tusi in these places have marriages."

"If there is a Tusi who raises the flag and rebels, Yunnan, Guichuan and other places will inevitably respond in groups."

"Now the power of the Ming Dynasty has not extended to the depths of these places at all, and I have to compromise and use the Tusi system."

"But I don't know that the Tusi system is a poison at all, and after a long time, these Tusi have a very high prestige among the Tusi, and in the end, not only can they not solve the problem of the rebellion in Yunnan-Guichuan, but they even have to pay a huge price for the Tusi system."

When Zhu Biao heard Li Jin's analysis, he suddenly felt shocked.

Then he thought of Li Jin's series of operations, and asked in surprise:

"Then Lord Li, what you are doing now is deliberately to solve these toasts?"
