Even called himself alarmist? Depend on! Liu Yan still doesn't seem to understand the sinister nature of the local situation!

Li Yi said angrily: "Your Majesty, if the South China Sea flood control is separated from each other, not only will the manpower and material resources be useless, but also the power to fight back in the face of attacks and harassment, the construction of the project may be suspended at any time." In particular, if the local powerful and inferior gentry resist the command, refuse to obey the water control dispatch arrangement, and act recklessly, we have nothing to do with them. ”

"And if the time is so short, if it is delayed for a long time, it will only lead to the same mistakes as before, and then the previous work will be wasted? Your Majesty, Weichen is not trying to claim power for his own use, but for the consideration of the South China Sea flood control plan. ”

Liu Yan pondered for a long time, then nodded and said, "Runzhi!" It's not that I'm reluctant to give up power, but it's difficult for this kind of arrangement to pass in the court's meeting, if the power is all under your control, I'm afraid the opposition will be quite fierce, even if I insist on supporting you, there will be people who will be unfavorable to you in the future, which I don't want to see! ”

Li Yi saw that Liu Yan was still hesitant, and the reason he said was really a bit far-fetched, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas! The so-called 'different ways do not conspire with each other', the kind of people that Your Majesty said, even if the ministers want to make friends with others, I am afraid they will not get any response. ”

"Weichen is not a saint, what he does is inevitably not in line with some people's wishes, I can't accommodate, and he won't give in, why is it so difficult to do a good job?"

"Your Majesty, since Wechen has accepted His Majesty's errand, no matter how hard and difficult it is, we must go head-on and strive for the best result, if you can't do it, please also ask Your Majesty to punish according to the law, Wechen will never have the slightest complaint."

In the end, Li Yi was already sad.

As soon as Li Yi's voice fell, Liu Yan had already taken the case, and said categorically: "Those with the same interests respond to every call, and those with different beliefs compete for everything, which is not bad at all, if you want to forge ahead, what can you do to meet people's wishes?" ”

"Runzhi can rest assured, I will fully support you, from now on, the South China Sea should be handed over to you for military deployment, personnel arrangement, material deployment, on-site disposal, and even life and death to seize power, you must let Runzhi strengthen your confidence, take the overall situation, and effectively control the floods in the South China Sea, this is my greatest expectation for you, and you must not let me down!" In the end, it is already faintly emotional.

Li Yi hurriedly nodded happily and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's love, Weichen will not hesitate to do so." ”

Liu Yan said in high spirits: "Since the idea has been decided, it should be planned as soon as possible!" Do you have any other requirements? ”

Li Yi bowed his head and nodded: "Weichen also wants to ask His Majesty to send two capable assistants to help me, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

Liu Yan smiled: "As I expected, one of them is not Lin Yi, the chief bookkeeper of the Xingwang Mansion?" Hehe! Who is the other person? ”

Li Yi smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, in addition to Lin Yi, the other minister also wants to request that Yuan Zitong be called as Wei Chen's deputy, so that the camera can act at that time." ”

Liu Yan was stunned and said, "Yuan Zitong? Isn't it the Ministry of Works' Mizubu Lang Zhongyuan's self-communication? This person is not effective in controlling the water, and he returns in vain, and I am thinking about asking him! Why do you want to enable this person? ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, although Yuan Zitong was not effective in controlling the water before, it was not his fault. You must know that the local situation in the South China Sea is complicated, and all forces do not buy it, and it is difficult to deploy manpower. In addition, the lack of funds, the materials used cannot keep up with the progress of the project, and everything is constrained, how can we promote the smooth progress of water control? ”

Weichen once asked Yuan Zitong in private, and he also had a lot of emotion, the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, he is a small water department, people are soft-spoken, it is difficult to convince the public, the local officials do not put him in their eyes, and the local gentry are even more unwilling to cooperate, imagine what he can do under his weak strength? Your Majesty, this is also the reason why Wechen asked for the unification of power! ”

Liu Yanshen nodded approvingly: "What Runzhi said is timely, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the power must be unified, it seems that my choice is correct, Runzhi will let it go!" ”

Li Yi knew that he had successfully persuaded Liu Yan and took the power of the South China Sea into his hands in a down-to-earth manner, thinking of Huang Qingyuan and Zhang Zijian, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has one more matter to ask for permission." ”

Liu Yan smiled and said, "If you have any other ideas, just put them forward, as long as I can do it, I will never embarrass you." ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust." Wechen just thought of a good way to raise funds for disaster relief and flood control in the South China Sea as much as possible, so after thinking about it, he felt the need to set up a newspaper in the capital to publish an all-encompassing newspaper. ”

"In addition to the publicity and promotion of government decrees and decrees, as well as the situation and news that have occurred in various localities, the most important thing at present is to widely publicize the disaster relief and charity activities, provide disaster relief information, and the occurrence and development of the disaster, so that the officials and people in the capital can understand the actual situation in the disaster area and provide targeted assistance."

"Once this newspaper covers the entire capital, the transmission of the imperial court's decrees will be smoother, the people will know the detailed provisions of the law, and they will be more law-abiding, and there will be no loopholes for those who commit adultery and criminals, and public opinion in various places will be able to reach the heavens, and local officials will not dare to act arbitrarily."

The above points mentioned by Weichen are just some of the benefits after the publication of the newspaper, and more practical effects can be seen in the long run. I don't know what the Holy Will thinks? ”

Liu Yan's eyes showed a look of confusion, and he said for a long time before he said: "There is already a newspaper in the imperial court, and the newspaper you mentioned seems to be somewhat similar in terms of function. ”

"Although it is said that the ordinary people can't see the Di Bao, this is also the original intention of the imperial court to set up the Di Bao, and the people must not be allowed to discuss the rights and wrongs of the court in private."

With such a newspaper, every move of the imperial court has attracted much attention, and major policies have been discussed in the streets, and it can even influence the implementation of the imperial decrees. In my opinion, this newspaper will do more harm than good! ”

Li Yi sighed in his heart, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy! Liu Yan could see the pros and cons of the newspaper at a glance, which was indeed full of disadvantages for the imperial court.

Think about it, who wants to be supervised in their every move, criticized by people for their policies and decrees, and even affect the implementation and implementation of government decrees? It seems that it is not easy to convince Liu Yan!
