Although Zhao Hao's high-level remarks on improving the fetters policy did not play a substantive role, it made Ying Jieyan and others see the direction of solving the problem, thinking that even if they could not be copied at the moment, they could learn from it. For the moment, they agree with His Royal Highness's method of 'carrots and sticks', and decide to still focus on appeasement, supplemented by military coercion, and strive to stabilize the various slangs in a short period of time, not expecting them to help themselves resist the enemy, at least to ensure that the enemy does not cause chaos at the moment, and will slowly try to do it after the situation in Qiongzhou is completely controlled.

As for how to govern Qiongzhou, Ying Jie Yan has been an official for many years, and he naturally knows the priorities, and he already has a case, but unlike Zhao Yu, he only has an outline in his mind, and he thinks of one out of the other. He was originally going to consult with the chief officials of the departments after arriving in Qiongzhou, but now that His Highness mentioned it and had many ideas, he showed it first.

Because of its long distance and treacherous situation, Qiongzhou was regarded as a place of exile by officials, so some officials were reluctant to go there after being appointed. Now that Lin'an has fallen, the dynasty is afloat, and no one pursues these, so the officials sent to Qiongzhou are often stranded on the mainland, refusing to take up their posts for various reasons, or even simply leaving.

As a result, some prefectures and counties in Qiongzhou actually did not have chief officials, and they could only be handled by officials on their behalf. However, some officials feel that they have no hope of returning to Beijing, and when they are discouraged, they are also messing around, and they have no intention of handling political affairs. What's more, they collude with local tyrants, bend the law for bribes, expropriate and smuggle contraband, and enrich their own pockets. The erosion of the Qiongzhou government has naturally led to rampant bandits, and the people have complained, and the relationship with the slang people has become more tense.

Therefore, it is necessary to strictly rectify the rule of officials as a top priority, remove those who are not qualified, and reappoint officials, so as to restore the functioning of the government and ensure that the decrees can be implemented. At the same time, we will clean up the backlog of cases, arrest bandits, and eliminate nameless gifts, so as to win over the people's hearts. And then strengthen the armor protection, so as to sort out the acres of land and mu, and form township soldiers and volunteers. Collect taxes and restore the economy and people's livelihood.

Zhao Yu raised his hands and feet in favor of the strict rectification of the officials, but he was also worried. He wasn't afraid that those officials would dare to disobey, and his tens of thousands of troops went to the island to scare them. He was worried about the initial construction of the Shuai Mansion, and the manpower in the various divisions was already tight, and he wanted to recruit a group of scholars in Guangzhou to make up for the shortage, but no one gave him the face of the prince, which led to the failure of the plan.

On the island, there are one state, three armies, 22 counties, as well as large and small yamen, and there are thousands of officials plus officials. If these officials are served in one pot. It is impossible to send so many people to replace them at one time. Even if only the chief official is replaced, it will be difficult for the government to send officials of the corresponding rank and experience in governing local areas. If it is forced, then no one will do the work of the Shuai Mansion, but Ying Jieyan's words quickly dispelled Zhao Yu's doubts.

Zhao Yu used to hear too much that Qiongzhou is a wild and dangerous place, and the people there lack education, so they are brave and unwilling to accept negative comments such as Wang Hua, so they think that Qiongzhou is backward in education and talents are withering. So much so. But from the words of Ying Jieyan, it is known that this is not the case, Qiongzhou has begun to educate people as early as the Tang Dynasty, and it has invested a lot of strength in this dynasty, and now the states and counties to which it belongs have official schools. There are even more than one. In addition, there is also a private school established by Confucianism, which has a deep cultural accumulation over a hundred years.

After Qiongzhou entered the Song Dynasty, it has always been a place of exile for degraded officials, and often these degraded officials are also Confucians who read poetry and books, and their arrival has also brought cultural atmosphere here. For example, Su Shi, Li Gang, Li Guang, Hu Quan and other famous ministers have given lectures here. And some of the officials who settled here have a family history, in order to inherit the family style, and pursue a career of fame and fame for generations. He also attaches great importance to the education of his children and has cultivated a large number of talents.

In addition, although Hainan is isolated overseas, due to the war in the Central Plains during the Song and Song dynasties, the nomads frequently attacked the south to expand the territory, the political center moved south, and a large number of literate immigrant clans moved in, a considerable part of which were eunuchs and teachers, and the clans moved south to avoid chaos, especially in recent years, when the Yuan War was lost, a large number of social elites took refuge across the sea, forming a community of scholars in Hainan society......

"I didn't expect that the land of Qiongzhou still hides dragons and crouching tigers, and Mr. means to reuse local talents, recruit children from good families as officials, and govern the place?" Zhao Yu understood as soon as he heard it, the old man regarded these people as a talent pool, and the locals were familiar with the people's conditions, customs, and court laws, so it was indeed faster than them to get started.

It is precisely for this reason that the Shuai Mansion can select from the scholars of Qiongzhou who have an innocent family background, a loyal heart, and a meritorious name to become officials to assist His Royal Highness in managing the place. These people live here, read poetry and books, have fame, and are admired by the people in the countryside, so they can be ruled according to the customs. Ying Jieyan nodded and said, "In addition, we can recruit some officials who are honest and honest, known as officials, and proficient in government affairs, who have been in the office for many years, are familiar with the imperial court decrees, understand the procedures, and have experience to make up for the shortcomings of the various departments." ”

"Well, sir is really talented, if it weren't for your help, I really don't know what to do." Zhao Yu arched his hand and said, he knows that thousands of clothes are not worn by sycophants, everyone loves to listen to good words, and he has to give a high hat when he should wear it.

"It is the old man's responsibility to assist His Highness, Your Highness does not have to be polite!" Ying Jieyan replied, "When we enter Qiongzhou, as long as we stabilize the slang and can reorganize the government, we will be able to gain a foothold in Qiongzhou." At that time, we can monitor the Han people living along the coast and monitor the familiar slang scattered in the mountains, and if they make a slight change, we can control the situation with the village soldiers and dispatch the government army to suppress it; And we can also use the familiar slang that is attached to the imperial court to block the slang who live deep in the mountains, and cut off their way out of the mountains. In this way, we will have no worries and will do our best to deal with the army of Tartars. ”

"Mr. is smart, the situation is complete, the overall situation is stable, and then trained into tens of thousands of elite soldiers, why be afraid of Tartars!" Zhao Hao praised, but he didn't give a top hat this time, but sincerely. It uses the Han people to monitor the slang, and then uses the slang to restrain the slang, forming two isolation belts, and then the soldiers in the government are stationed in key places to control the key points, and once something happens, troops can be immediately sent to suppress it, so that the entire island is under the control of the marshal's government.

"Your Royal Highness praises, the old man is embarrassed, if you want to promote, there is still a big thing to do!" Ying Jie Yan waved his hand to show that he was ashamed, and said.

"Sir is talking about reopening the post road and restoring the post house, so that it can connect the whole island and facilitate the transfer of troops and supplies." Zhao Yu thought for a while and said.

"Your Highness guessed that this is what the old man meant, and now that the post road is cut off, it is difficult to transmit information, if there is a police, it will not be a mistake!" Speaking of this, Ying Jieyan said with a worried face, obviously it is not easy to do this now...... (To be continued.) )
