Li Yi's purpose in saying this is, of course, to pave the way in advance, with his three-legged cat-like calligraphy level, everyone can see that it is not worth it, let alone the identity of the champion of the Han Dynasty.

In the future, in this capital, there are many opportunities to meet friends with Yiwen, if you are seen to be tired, or even suspicious, you will undoubtedly fall into an embarrassing situation, or it is better to explain it in advance.

Liu Yan looked at Li Yi thoughtfully, nodded slightly, and said, "Your actions in Yunnan are indeed worthy of the praise of the imperial court, but I have nothing to reward you now, so I can only let you stay in the Hanlin Academy for a while." ”

"Hmmm! In this way, it is undoubtedly a place for self-cultivation, and if you settle down and write books and speak, you may be able to achieve something. But rest assured, I know that you want to make a difference, and I can't bury you for long. When the time is right, I'll give you a chance. ”

Li Yi nodded gratefully and said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates know what to do." ”

Liu Yan smiled happily: "That's good! I have given you this letter, hoping that you will understand the meaning of this sentence at any time. Well! Chongyue, after you frame this letter, send someone to Li Yi's house, and say that it was a reward from me. ”

When Guo Chongyue in the other side heard this, his eyes showed envy, and he hurriedly agreed to come over and clean up the text on the desk.

Liu Yan turned to the soft couch next to him and sat down, patted the seat next to him and said, "You can sit too!" In the past three years, you must have suffered a lot in Yunnan and experienced a lot of hardships. Being able to control such a complex situation in Yunnan at a young age can be regarded as embarrassing for you. ”

Li Yi sat down and said: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, his subordinates can make a difference in Yunnan." Especially in our Han Dynasty, the national prestige has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and there are many obedient people from near and far, the holy decree and whip pointed out, the barbarian princes are obedient, and those who come to pay tribute are in charge, and there is no country that does not come to dependents. Everything I did in Yunnan is not worth mentioning. ”

Liu Yan listened with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Hehe! I'm not as wise as you say. You're getting better at talking now. So be it! Tomorrow, you go to the Hanlin Academy to report, the master of the academy over there is still Chen Yongzhuo, this old fellow, anyway, you are also very familiar with it. If there is nothing to do, there is no need to pass the year ago. ”

Liu Yan clapped his hands, beckoned Guo Chongyue over and ordered: "You go and inform the imperial dining room to make two bowls of white fungus bird's nest lotus seed porridge for me and Li Yi, I want to talk to Li Yi for a while, and no one should come over to disturb me." ”

Guo Chongyue bowed down to receive the order.

Liu Yan smiled: "Hehe! I summoned you from the family feast, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet, have you? Well! You didn't drink much before, don't you know how you've grown in the past few years? ”

Li Yi smiled embarrassedly and said: "Don't dare to deceive the emperor, your subordinates have only learned and not made much progress in the past few years, but they have improved a lot in terms of alcohol, hehe!" I can't help it! Officials from neighboring countries ushered in the send-off, and it was impossible to get a little less to drink. ”

Liu Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled with deep meaning: "Hehe! It seems that this is your family's ancestral ability! Your father's amount of alcohol back then was not trivial, don't look at his politeness, in fact, whether in the army or anywhere, just to have a leisure party, your father is the leading figure of the banquet. Few others can drink more than him, and although I can drink some, in front of him, I can only be out of reach! I wonder how much you can drink today? ”

"If it's a Zhenghe wine with more strength, it's usually only a small jar of wine, and even when it's a fight, I can't drink two small jars." Li Yi pretended to be calm and said.

"What? How can you drink so much wine, and it is Zhenghe wine, which is known for its mellow taste? A small jar is two and a half pounds of wine, okay? You're already drinking more than your old man. I can't believe it! How can you, who used to get drunk when you were drunk, achieve a rapid increase in the amount of alcohol. ”

"Huh! All right! Since you are so good at drinking, let's have a few cups of wine, Chongyue, you go and prepare a few exquisite side dishes, and then take a small jar of Zhenghe wine. ”

Guo Chongyue, who had just come back after arranging, heard this, and hurriedly went away again.

After Guo Chongyue left, Liu Yan leaned on the soft couch and asked casually: "I heard that your official treasury income in Yunnan last year was quite rich, I don't know how much you earned?" ”

Li Yi knew that the drama was coming, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Emperor Qi, counting the war compensation of 3.5 million yuan paid by the puppet Dayi Ningguo, Yunnan received a total of 6.6 million yuan in financial revenue last year. But most of them were used to build reservoirs and roads, pay for military expenditures and pensions for the wounded and wounded, and subsidize poor families and widows and lonely people, and repair schools and temples. There should have been a surplus of about 1.2 million yuan that year, and all of them were carried over to this year. ”

Liu Yan nodded slightly, but his face was unpleasant, and he couldn't see what kind of attitude he had.

But I heard him continue: "Six million and six hundred thousand! This is indeed a large amount, and the entire Xingwang Mansion in the capital only earned 11 million yuan last year. According to the proportion of population, the population of Xingwangfu is about three times that of Yunnan, and it is worse than Yunnan! Oh! How much is Yunnan expected to earn this year? ”

Li Yi hurriedly replied: "As of last month, the income of Yunnan's official treasury has reached 2.8 million yuan, which is not counting the grain income of the official fields, and counting the balance of 1.2 million yuan last year, the total should be more than 4 million yuan." All this does not include the income of Zhenxiong Prefecture, which has just been incorporated into Yunnan, and there are no detailed statistics on this aspect. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said: "This is not about the same, although it is not as good as the Xingwang Mansion in the capital, but it can be regarded as the highest income in the town." Well! This shows that your governance in Yunnan in the past few years has been fruitful,"

"From the situation when you couldn't make ends meet and had to rely on the imperial court to receive help, in just three years, you can make a big difference in the situation of Yunnan, the government has a good income, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As the supreme governor of Yunnan, you should be indispensable! ”

"And I know the situation in Zhenxiong Prefecture, it is the Ping Domain of our Han Frontier, which is mainly military, the fields are barren, the population is sparse, and it has not been able to reach the point of self-sufficiency, and it has not been less involved in the imperial court over the years. Therefore, I annexed Zhenxiong Prefecture to Yunnan, and I still counted on you to pull them along, and it seems that this move is the right move. ”
