At the end of November, Jiangdu had already gathered the officials of the prefectures and counties of the world, or the representatives of the upper counters.

Yang Yi has paid homage to Shaofu, this is a difficult errand to do, whether it is to ask for the development rights of the Shanlin Huze mineral deposits from the county or county, or to ask the Beifu for the development permit money, it is a big thing for Yang Yi.

It is clear that it is necessary to offend people, offend the officials and heroes of the world, and it will also affect the established people's livelihood in various places, and the scope of influence is very large...... The benefits are also huge.

In this matter, it is difficult for Yang Yi to settle accounts, but it is difficult to persuade the other party to hand over the share of money that should be given to Shaofu.

The imperial court needs this money very much, and the imperial court with this money has the spare power to adjust and narrow the economic gap with the northern government; With this money, the imperial court can do a lot of things.

And this money is collected in the name of justice, and the traditions, ideas, and laws since ancient times have been stipulated in this way.

Go and collect it, but the other party won't give it to you...... It is almost equivalent to resisting taxes, having no law, and the imperial court, which can be understood as going to war.

This is to use war and rupture to coerce the northern province to pay this permission document that allows the development of natural resources; This is true for dealing with Beifu, and even more so for dealing with localities.

If you refuse to pay, you will clean up wherever there is a problem.

The imperial court is very short of this money, Guan Yu is very short of this money, and needs this money to do big things; And the imperial court and Guan Yu have enough mobile troops in their hands to ensure the normal collection of this money.

Soldiers are the confidence to collect taxes.

During the period when the atmosphere of the Shaofu was more depressing, Yang Yi crossed the river by boat and went to a tea house in Tianxin in Wuling to pay homage to Liao Li, who stayed here.

With the victory of the decisive battle in Beifu Guanzhong, the manpower and institutions that had assembled and stayed in Xiangyi also began to be transported to Nanyang.

Because of the Hanjin tax customs, many craftsmen returned to Danyangyi to build more farm tools for next year's spring ploughing in Guanzhong.

Except for the tea house south of the Yangtze River and the iron mill in Xiahou Kingdom, everything else is being evacuated in an orderly manner; At the same time, the Nanyang area also began to tidy up suitable hills and prepare for the construction of new tea estates.

Even if the quality of tea is not as good as that of Jiangnan, there is a tea house, it is better than nothing.

Tian Xin and Lu Yi are both in Guanzhong, and at present, the only person who can take ideas and manage affairs for Beifu is Guan Ji, this kind of industrial migration...... It caused panic among the people, and many of the mountain people who migrated to the plains thought that the world was going to be in chaos, and fled back to the mountains and forests this winter.

The war is so terrible and cruel that no matter whether the war is around or 500 miles away, as long as the war breaks out, everyone within the scope of the government will not have a good life.

The imperial court must talk to Guan Ji and no longer fuel the panic among the people.

Originally, the people who had been displaced in the wilderness in various places gradually settled down and returned to the scope of government administration, and various scattered armed forces surrendered one after another, and the people's livelihood in various places was gradually improving.

Now because of Guan Ji's relocation to Nanyang and the concentration of industries, a tense atmosphere has been created, which has greatly reduced the effectiveness of the state and county's recuperation this year, and it will regress if it is not good.

But how do you go to Guan Ji to negotiate?

Who is suitable?

There are almost no suitable people.

The imperial court did not have a suitable person to negotiate with Guan Ji, but the imperial court could first contact Liao Li, who was suitable for communication, and touch the bottom line.

As for Li Yan, after being deceived by many colleagues once, he has already refused to negotiate.

It has been three years since he took office as the warden of Gangneung, Namgun, and Gangduyin, and he has reached the threshold of promotion and transfer.

Refusing to negotiate means not giving face to the imperial court, and the imperial court will not give Li Yan face, so Li Yanjiang will naturally not be able to do his work normally in the future...... The only solution is to release Li Yan.

Since there was a way out, why did Li Yan take the risk of negotiating with the imperial court?

Li Yan couldn't get through here, so Yang Yi had to come to see Liao Li and touch the bottom line of the people of Xiangzhou.

A total of four county lieutenants and lieutenants in Xiangzhou, including Wuling County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, and the southern part of Lingling, were transferred back to the court by Guan Yu in one go, and the current Xiangzhou is undefended for the imperial court.

Yang Yi couldn't figure out what the people of Xiangzhou thought, when he came to the door, Liao Li personally boiled the soaked dried abalone and boiled a pot of thick and fragrant seafood pot.

There is no snow in the south of the Yangtze River in winter, and in the courtyard, Liao Li soaked the freshly cut lamb slices in boiling pot water, and dipped a little sweet fruit vinegar into his mouth.

Exhaled a breath of white air, Liao Li gave Yang Yi a few more pieces: "Wei Gong, in the past few years, can you know my most memorable thing?" ”

"I want to hear about it."

According to the public's inference, Xia Shang likes to worship ancestors, and the sacrifices are based on the honorable person. After the sacrifice, the feast is shared. When the king of Zhou, the sacrifice was insufficient, and Boyi was selected as the sacrifice, because King Wen, King Wu and Boyi Kao entered the Shang Dynasty together to meet and pay tribute. Therefore, he killed Boyi as a sacrifice, and King Wen and King Wu were in the middle of the banquet, so they could share the food. ”

Yang Yi was chewing on the tender lamb meat the size of three months, and suddenly lost her appetite, and looked at Liao Li with a disgusted look.

Liao Li didn't think so, he only felt that Yang Yi's mood was not enough, so he took care of himself and dipped a piece of lamb meat with white fat and dipped it in fruit vinegar, eating the meat slices that melted in his mouth, and when he saw Yang Yi's appearance, he laughed, so he said: "Wei Gong, what is the punishment of Yu Gong (obstruction)?" ”

Yang Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and Liao Li said slowly: "In the past, Zilu died in the guard, and he was condemned by thieves. When Confucius heard that Zilu was bewitched, he covered his eyes and ordered people to cover the minced meat. Why? Seeing things hurts people too. ”

"Gross!"

Unable to control it any longer, Yang Yi hurriedly turned around and vomited on one side of the spittoon, and then retched so much that tears flowed down.

Liao Li was about to take a bite of the meat slices, but when he saw Yang Yi vomiting, he lost his appetite, but when he thought of what he wanted to say, his face did not change and he sent the meat slices to his mouth, chewed and swallowed them carefully, with a look of acceptance.

This made Yang Yi glimpse it even more uncomfortable, and her spirit was about to collapse, her left hand was raised to cover her face with her sleeve, and her right hand shook her sleeve: "Gong Yuan!" How so! How so! Don't eat again, withdraw quickly! Withdraw! ”

"Ugh."

Liao Li sighed, and invited the waiter to ask them to take the copper pot at the bottom of the seafood pot away, and the ingredients were cheap for them, four or five attendants smiled and grinned, you held the pot on both sides, and the two of us carried the dishes and left happily.

Without the sound of boiling at the bottom of the pot and the strong smell of seafood, Yang Yi felt better, wiped the corners of her eyes and mouth with a cloth towel, dissatisfied and complained: "Brother Gongyuan, why do you intimidate the younger brother?" ”

"It's just a temporary idea, I'm really sorry, but it has something to do with my heart."

Liao Li is not a werewolf, and he is somewhat uncomfortable, so he slowly drinks hot tea to suppress the unhappiness and gloomy emotions in his heart: "It's like a summer ceremony, a summer sacrifice, and it has not been known for a long time." And Confucius's surname is Kong, and he is a descendant of Yin Shang. Although advocating Zhou rituals, he is also familiar with the Xia Shang rituals and festivals, and knows more about ancient things. ”

Yang Yi folded the handkerchief and frowned: "So what?" ”

"The Confucian admired the world of the ancient sage kings, and the Xia Shang was good at making sacrifices to people and eating them; Before Xia Shang, you can imagine what an ignorant and bloody world it should be, and Ru Mao just drank blood. ”

Liao Li said and laughed: "Chen Gong broke the blue field, climbed Qipanling and looked at Li Mountain, saying that the mountain is a mountain, the mountain is not a mountain, and the mountain is still a mountain." In the eyes of the generals and the people in the court, the mountain is not a mountain. Or they know that it is a mountain, but they refuse to admit it. Conscience, conscience, so self-ignorant, how can it lead to conscience, the unity of knowledge and action? ”

Yang Yi looked ashamed, but he still shook his head slightly, and he didn't know where to refute, and he had a premonition that he would be persuaded.

Liao Li didn't have the heart to lobby Yang Yi, the problem was not Yang Yi, but the general, prime minister and Chen Gong, convincing one Yang Yi, and there would be another Liu Yi next time.

The truth doesn't make sense, if the truth can be explained everywhere, what do you need a sword for?

Liao Li said: "In today's world, it's just pushing the old and the new. Since Chen Gong took power, he has never abused the weak, let alone killed indiscriminately, and the felony was only beheaded. Compared with the previous Han criminal law, it can be described as generous and benevolent. The criminal law of the former Han Dynasty was wider than that of the pre-Qin Dynasty. And the country of the pre-Qin Zhuji was lighter than the Xia Shang. ”

For corporal punishment with a complex system that causes disability, as well as a variety of criminal laws for homicide...... Tian Xin is disgusted, no matter how serious the crime is, it is only beheading, and it will be stitched together before burial and cremation, and those who can be hanged for other capital crimes will never be beheaded.

There are only two ways to be executed, and the death penalty in the pre-Qin, pre-Han, and post-Han dynasties is really more than nine!

Looking at the thoughtful Yang Yi, Liao Li said seriously: "The benevolence of this first emperor is also the benevolence of Chen Gong." If the people in the court are defeated and die, they can also suffer death calmly; And if we are defeated and die, there will be no good death. In my opinion, it is to deceive Chen Gongzhiben, and the people in the DPRK and China are so presumptuous. ”

"Defeat, no more than one person dies for sin, and if it is successful, it will be rich and noble...... If it is some, it is inevitable that the heart will be moved, how can it be returned to everyone? ”

Liao Li said, walked out of the courtyard with the tea bowl in his hand, looked at the courtyard that looked cold and gray in winter, and said to himself: "There is occasional snow in Nanyang in winter, and it is a pity that I can't watch the snow this year." ”
