The second is here, brothers, the ones behind are catching up, and Xiaoliu is begging for a monthly pass for support!

Taking advantage of Zhou Yongcheng's summoning of Li Weilie, Yinzuo went through Li Weilie's resume carefully, got a general understanding of this person's experience as an official, and thought about how to deal with this person in his heart.To be honest, Yin Zuo has been in this dynasty for many years, and he has met many officials, big and small, but as a minister of the upper study, he always feels uncomfortable when meeting officials. Without him, when he met officials in other places, he was an imperial envoy. His status is extremely noble, and he can say whatever he says, and no one can refute it, but now that Yinzuo is the minister of the study, it is different. The main thing is not to talk but to listen and ask. Both listening and asking must be skillful. You have to ask to get the point, and you have to hear the truth and falsehood in the words of the officials. This task is actually not easy.

Li Weilie, courtesy name Zuoheng, was born in Jinan, Shandong Province. He was born as a Jinshi in the 24th year of Kangxi. This person is upright, not sociable, and has no backer in the court. He has been in Yunnan for nearly ten years, and his official position is the chief minister, but he has never been transferred to Yunnan. As his chief envoy, he actually has no hope of being transferred or promoted.

Today is the time for His Majesty's speech, Li Weilie went to the imperial palace early in the morning to wait to be summoned, but he didn't expect that the one who summoned him this time would be Prince Yi Yinzuo.Regarding this well-known Prince Elder Brother, Li Weilie has heard Shi Shilun talk about it a lot, and he also knows that Yinzuo has always been ruthless, and he is merciless when dealing with officials who make mistakes. There are few local officials who fall into the hands of Yinzuo It is said that there are two to three hundred people. Although Li Weilie is still very proud of his official achievements, he still has a little bit of a drum in his heart. But I didn't expect that if I didn't pay attention, the threshold was stirred, and I almost fell a big horse. Fortunately, Zhou Yongcheng who followed behind was agile and gave him a hand, so I didn't make a fool of myself. A swarthy old face was already flushed red, and he stood there stupidly, forgetting for a moment that he should go forward to greet Yin Zuo.

Hey, Comrade Li is really an honest person, it's funny that he blush.Yinzuo looked at Li Weilie's bewildered look, felt a little funny in his heart, smiled and said: "Lord Li, it's true that this is the imperial palace, but the gold bricks on the ground are not made of gold, don't try, then It’s just green bricks. Haha… come on, sit down and talk.”

Seeing that Yinzuo didn't mean to blame him for being rude, Li Weilie immediately relaxed, and laughed at himself, saying: "This official lost his appearance, and the prince laughed at me. I don't have the guts to pry the bricks of the palace to myself. go home."

"Hehe, Mr. Li has worked in Yunnan for many years, and he can be regarded as a master of Yunnan. I don't know much about Yunnan, so I would like to ask Mr. Li to tell me about the customs of Yunnan?" Seeing that Li Weilie has fallen seat, but still a little coy in his expression, so he casually asked about the customs of Yunnan.What Yinzuo said is true, although Yinzuo did not travel to Yunnan in his previous life, he has been to scenic spots such as Dianchi Lake and Lijiang many times, and he is not unfamiliar with Yunnan, but it is a matter of his previous life after all. Now, what is going on in Yunnan now, Yinzuo really doesn't know very well, the purpose of asking this question is not really to understand the customs of Yunnan, but just to let Li Weilie relax while speaking It's just a nervous breakdown, but I didn't expect that when Li Weilie talked about Yunnan, he would talk endlessly, which made Yinzuo froze for a while.

Yunnan is a very beautiful place, but at this time of year, Yunnan is a ghostly place with poor mountains and rivers, where Miao and Han live together, and the situation is complicated. The Miao people can be divided into mature seedlings and raw seedlings. What, but once the pressure is urgent, it is relatively easy to gather a crowd to resist the tax. Even if you raise your troops to attack the county government, you have done it. Officials who collect taxes have always been killed with a single knife.At present, many counties in Yunnan say that there are government offices, but in fact there are no officials at all, and the county magistrates sent there were either killed or fled. The place is a mess without the rule of law.

The previous governors of Yunnan all focused on suppression. Once the Miao people got into trouble, they would send a large army to suppress it without asking why. However, the effect was not satisfactory because of the high mountains and dense forests.Since Shi Shilun took office, he has adopted a policy of educating the people, running schools to educate the people, encouraging the reclamation of wasteland, sending officials to teach the people how to use various farm tools, canceling various exorbitant taxes, and trying to reduce the burden on the people. As a result, at least the land of Wanghua has been expanded a lot, and the local economy has also improved a little, but the problem is that Shi Shilun's method has not been approved by Cai Ting, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Shock the local Miao people.

Cai and Shi have different political views, so the problem will be troublesome. Shi Shilun managed to appease the local people, but Cai Ting sent troops to attack those Miao villages from time to time. This attack made Shi Shilun busy for a long time. The result was gone, it would be strange if the relationship between the two could be good, if it wasn't for Shi Shilun who was recommended by Yinzuo, Cai Ting would not dare to move lightly, otherwise Cai Ting would have gone to the book to impeach Shi Shilun long ago, Yunnan has changed in seven years Among the eight governors, except for one person, Ding You, the others were all overthrown by Cai Ting.The quarrel between Cai and Shi originally went on like this, but this time with the matter of sharing the money with the mother, the conflict between the two broke out completely. It's a matter of the parents and the officials and gentry paying food together.

According to Li Weilie's words, the ordinary people in Yunnan and even the mature seedlings are very supportive of this move, and these two methods have indeed lightened the burden on the local people, but the local rich households quit, and they joined forces, just not By agreeing to this matter, he not only obstructed the work of measuring the acres of fields, but also injured many officials and government servants who dared to carry out this matter. Cai Ting, who was heavily armed, not only did not come forward to control the situation, but called Shi Shilun to scold him. After a while, the relationship between the two parties has become extremely bad. I heard that Cai Ting has already impeached Shi Shilun, but Li Weilie is not very clear about the specific situation.

Yinzuo Cai Ting has met this person before, and knows a little about him. Comrade Cai Ting is a good fighter in war. He has been in Yunnan since he took over San Francisco. It has been more than ten years, and he has won the appreciation of Mr. Kangxi It's just that this person is self-willed and can't tolerate others. In addition, he is a military commander and has always looked down on civil officials. Not to mention the officials in Yunnan and Guizhou, even the old man who is the minister of the study room doesn't pay much attention to him. He only obeys the old man Kangxi. .It is no small miracle that Shi Shilun was recruited only two years after he took office, and it is probably because of Prince Yinzuo's face.If you participate, you will participate, but the problem is that you haven't heard Mr. Kangxi mention this matter, and Yinzuo doesn't know what Mr. Kangxi thinks, but no matter what, Lao Shi is afraid that it will be difficult to stay in Yunnan unless Yinzuo Zuo can put Cai Ting flatly.

"In Master Li's opinion, should the booklet be implemented in Yunnan?" After listening to Li Weilie's introduction, Yinzuo asked suddenly.

"This..." Li Weilie was very embarrassed and didn't dare to continue. This is normal. Matters involving such national policies have to be cautious in the first place. Even, it was not his turn to consider such important matters.

Hey, mother, that's an embarrassing question.As soon as Yin Zuo saw the hesitation on Li Weilie's face, he realized that he was the one who asked Meng Lang. No one dared to answer such a question, so he immediately laughed and said in another way: "Oh, Mr. Li After living in Yunnan for a long time, according to Master Li, how can Yunnan become self-sufficient?"

Every year, the imperial court allocates food and other materials equivalent to nearly 100 million taels of silver for Yunnan. Li Weilie, who is in charge of Yunnan's finances, naturally knows it well. Liao thought about it and said: "The lower officials think that if they can implement the implementation of sharing the land into the mu, and the government and gentry pay the grain together, it may be possible. In addition, they will educate the people to change their old customs of slash-and-burn farming, encourage land reclamation, and teach them the skills of farming. Supplemented by suppression, gradually turn the raw seedlings into mature seedlings, and finally implement land reform and return, Yunnan Province should be able to be self-sufficient." After a pause, he said: "The folk customs in Yunnan are tough, and only by appeasing or suppressing the capital It's not possible, it's just the humble opinion of a subordinate official."

Well, this old Comrade Li seems to know Yunnan politics very well, his complexion is dark, which proves that this person is not a pampered person, and I am afraid that he often goes down to walk around on weekdays. Lao Shi's letter also praised this person's talent, It looked like he should be a capable official. Lao Shi and Cai Ting had such a fight. It was probably difficult for Yunnan to stay any longer. At least, it was time to move Lao Shi's position.Yin Zuo thought for a while and said: "Well, if Master Li is appointed as the governor of Yunnan, he can be self-sufficient in a few years, oh, this king is just asking casually, not asking questions on behalf of the emperor, although Master Li can be more casual That's it."

After careful consideration for a while, Li Weilie said: "Three years, many officials dare not say it, but within three years, this will definitely be done, but there is one thing, Mr. Cai must not send troops to suppress the Miao Village at will, otherwise even Even if you have been demoted for ten years, there is nothing you can do."

"Oh." Yinzuo nodded noncommittally and said: "Well, Mr. Li will go back to the station first, and let the king ask the Holy One for instructions, how about seeing what the Holy Spirit has ordered?"

Li Weilie got up with a flat face, saluted, and left. After thinking about it, Yin Zuo ordered Zhou Yongcheng to let other officials have an audience. After finally staying up until the third quarter of the day, all the officials who will be interviewed in the future were finally dismissed. Standing up, looking at no one around, stretched viciously, and went to the study...
