Xun Wang was stunned for a while, as if he was carefully chewing every word Li Yi said, and only nodded slightly after a long time, but he didn't know what he finally understood.

After saluting the princes in turn, and finally returning to the seat, under Liu Yan's applause, the silk and bamboo song and dance rose again, and let Li Yi enjoy the singing and dancing scene when imitating the Tang court, although Li Yi disagreed, but it cannot be denied that the Han who lived in the South China Sea also inherited some of the mantle of the former Tang Dynasty.

When the singing and dancing feast ended, Liu Yan left Li Yi alone. Li Yi was suddenly a little flattered, it seemed that he still had something to say to himself, but he didn't know what it was.

In the warm pavilion on the highest floor of Yingtai Pavilion, only Li Yi and Liu Yan sat opposite each other, and Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. Those performances just now, I don't know what kind of impression Liu Yan has. Maybe it's a little uninhibited, maybe it's too much of the limelight, maybe his style of acting is very different from the original champion Li Yi, but I don't know if he can accept it.

Liu Yan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "You have been a foreign general for many years, maybe you have a lot of experience, I have some difficult things to ask you, I don't know what you think." ”

Li Yi Zhengrong listened respectfully, and said respectfully: "The emperor is eloquent and strategic, he can be called the reincarnation of the martial emperor, after so many years of conquest in the south and north, he has made great achievements in war, and his prestige is far and wide. ”

Liu Yan smiled indifferently and said: "You have been away from Beijing for many years, and I haven't noticed anything else, but I found that your kung fu has made great progress." Hehe! I'm just kidding you! However, I am not a fairy, how can everything be as I expected, and now there is a headache for me, which is still unresolved. ”

"You also know that the battle of Hanjiang was a complete victory, and Wu Xun's troops seized the important town of Chaozhou in Fujian, which is equivalent to controlling the throat of the southwest of Fujian, and both land and sea have maintained strong pressure on Fujian, so that he has to bow down to me, it stands to reason that this is a good thing, and in the future, Fujian will not be allowed to have a heart of disobedience."

"But what makes it difficult for me is that the current Chaozhou is unstable among the people, and rioters happen from time to time. Although Wu Xun is sharp in his use of troops and has a good set of fighting battles, he is stumbling in this regard, and it is difficult for him to be stable, which makes me have a headache. ”

"You must know that Fujian has owned Chaozhou for more than 30 years, the former Fujian lord Wang Zhenzhi is gentle by nature, strict and thrifty, and loves the people like a son, and practices himself, and soon subdued the local people after the establishment of the country, so many years of grace, even the fierce mountain people of Fujian have bowed their heads and obeyed orders, and the people in China want to naturalize them It is really very difficult!"

Li Yi nodded convincingly: "It is important to have a place, for decades, the mentality of the local people has long formed a thinking habit, and it is very difficult to easily change them." ”

Liu Yan was surprised: "What is 'thinking habit'? ”

Li Yi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The so-called 'thinking habit' is actually thought up by the ministers in private, that is, they have formed a deep-rooted concept that some things have always been like this, so they never change easily, nor are they willing to change. Since the Teochew people believe that Min is their suzerain, even if the land has been possessed by us, they still have a heart for Min from the bottom of their hearts and refuse to accept us. ”

"When I was in Yunnan, some barbarian tribes were like this, and it was quite difficult to completely naturalize them. In their minds, how can the living habits, clan beliefs, and regional concepts formed over hundreds of years be easily changed? ”

Weichen also put down his body, gave kindness, and promised them all kinds of benefits, which was gradually accepted by them. But to get them to fully integrate into our big man, it will be even more difficult. ”

Liu Yan pondered for a while, nodded silently, and said, "I also know that coercion alone is useless, but the so-called 'grace and power are easy to say, but how to implement it is a difficult problem. Since you have a lot of experience, try to tell me about it. ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "The minister is shallow, but he also knows that if he wants to control a person, even if he controls his body, he may not be able to control his inner thoughts. The same is true of Chaozhou, which is all Han Chinese, and it is much better to subdue them than to subdue the barbarians. ”

"The minister thought that in a newly annexed place like Chaozhou, the first thing to do was to subdue the local scholars, scholars, and famous families, which was like a measure to control their thoughts. These are people who are well-known and influential in the local area, and if they raise their voices, they will respond to them, and the governance of local affairs depends on them. ”

"The so-called snake does not walk without a head, birds do not fly without wings, ordinary people have limited knowledge, those who have no permanent birth have no perseverance, and they have no opinions. The people who rely on it are just local scholars, and they can only follow the trend no matter how the leader goes, and the mavericks are a minority after all. ”

"And the reason why Chaozhou is chaotic and unstable is because these scholars have not yet received the benefits of our Han. Therefore, subduing the local scholars is what we should do at present. ”

When Liu Yan heard this, his face showed surprise, and he nodded frequently: "Runzhi really has unique insights!" It's just that... It's just that what kind of thinking habits you are talking about, how can they change in a short period of time, I am already worried, so how long can I wait? Let's talk about it, if you were in Chaozhou, what measures would you take to win over the hearts of the local scholars? ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "The minister has three strategies, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

Liu Yan hurriedly said: "Say it quickly!" Say it! ”

Li Yi pretended to be serious and said: "Although the ministers are willing to share their worries for the court, they really don't want to go abroad just after returning to the capital, and ask the emperor to understand the intentions of the ministers." ”

Liu Yan smiled bitterly: "At this time, you still have to tell me about the conditions, if it were someone else, I would have put him in prison and never use him." Alas! All right! I will grant you what you ask, and tell me your three clever ideas! ”

Li Yi smiled slightly and said: "If it is for the sake of stability, first of all, we must open the imperial examination widely, encircle the scholars, regardless of their background, and allow the Chaozhou scholars and people to participate in the tribute of our Han, use their talents for me, let the talented and ambitious people have a channel to advance, and turn potential enemies into supporters and allies of our Han Dynasty." ”

"At the same time, we will support the famous families who have a good impression of our Han and are quite popular with the people, and severely crack down on notorious local forces.
