641 Chen Taihe, Li Ziyu

[Today's second chapter is presented, more than 8,000 words are updated, Lao Yun Qiubo subscribes!!] 】

"Hey, in the end, the Ryukyu Kingdom still belongs to the small country and the people are widowed, and the whole country can only make up 40,000 young people, but 40,000 people are almost enough."

After hearing the young scribe's answer, Chen Taihe sighed, feeling more and more that he would have a heavy burden on his shoulders in the future.

"My lord, the Ryukyu Kingdom is an archipelagic country, with more than 50 islands of all sizes, the largest of which is Okinawa, where we are now, and it is also the most populous.

Secondly, to the north are the Amami Islands, to the south are the Sakishima Islands, and some other small islands, and the remaining 60,000 people are mostly divided among these two archipelagos.

Most of these people were fishermen who made a living from fishing, and they were so scattered that it was not easy to gather them all in Shuri Castle.

What's even more troublesome is that I am afraid that these people will resist, after all, no one wants to give up their homeland. ”

After the young scribe knew Chen Taihe's thoughts at this time, he couldn't help but say several difficulties in migrating the population.

"Well, what about Jimin, you did a good job, it seems that you have done your homework before you came, and you know the situation of the Ryukyus Kingdom in detail."

Chen Taihe looked at his 'secretary' with great satisfaction and said.

The full name of this young scribe is Li Ziyu, the word Jimin, judging from the name, you guessed it right, he and Li Zixiao belong to the same generation, from the Li family in Jinling.

In the past two years, Li Zixiao's attitude has let the Li family in Jinling know that Li Zixiao has made up his mind not to return to the family, but to set up another door.

But how to say, the two families are still from the same family, and as the power of Li Zixiao's subordinates continues to grow, many children of the Li family in Jinling have the idea of going to their cousin or cousin.

However, because Li Zixiao was not very well received when he was in the Li family in Jinling before, among his peers, except for one Li Zifeng, the rest of the children were not very familiar with Li Zixiao.

It is basically impossible for other children of the Li family to be like Li Zifeng, who will be trusted and reused by Li Zixiao as soon as they arrive in Xuzhou.

Look at the previous climbers, basically all of them were sent back by Li Zixiao.

Subsequently, there was a group of children of the Li family who found a different way, and when they went to Xuzhou to join the White Dragon Army, they did not mention the situation of their same clan as Li Zixiao.

They joined the White Dragon Army as ordinary scholars, and in this way, they successfully joined the White Dragon Army and entered the Jiangbei system.

The children of the Li family who dare to do this are all people who have read poetry and books, have ambitions in their hearts, and have confidence in their talents, and they believe that even if they start from scratch, they can still make a name for themselves in Jiangbei.

Or, the children of the Li family who did this were the same as Li Zixiao in the Li family in Jinling, and they were not valued at all.

They regard Li Zixiao as an idol and look forward to one day relying on their own ability to fight for a piece of the world.

In this way, in the past two years, more than 20 children of the Li family have entered the ranks of Jiangbei scribes through normal channels.

They are generally not high in power now, and they are still working as low-level officials, like Li Ziyu, who can be a 'secretary' for Chen Taihe, which is already the best developed.

Li Zixiao actually knew about this situation for a long time, and there was nothing in Jiangbei that could hide from Li Zixiao.

But he pretended not to know about it, and did not drive these Li family children away as before, but acquiesced in their joining.

Just like Mother Li said, they are brothers of the same clan after all, Li Zixiao can not open the back door for them, but he can't refuse all the children of the Li family to join.

Moreover, the unfair treatment that Li Zixiao received in the Li family back then was just the work of a few selfish people, who did not do the business of other Li family children.

It is precisely because of Li Zixiao's acquiescence that Li Ziyu, the children of the Li family, are also excited, they are all smart people and understand what Li Zixiao means.

Moreover, not long ago, after Li Zixiao was named a loyal and brave uncle by Chongzhen, Li Zixiao promoted Li Zifeng to be the inspector of Jiangbei maritime trade, responsible for Jiangbei's maritime trade affairs, and was regarded as a four-grade official.

At the same time, Li Zifeng is also the vice president of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, the governor of Jiangbei City, etc., and many other official titles make other Li family children who are still working hard at the bottom envious.

At this time, many official positions in Jiangbei were new, and even many official positions had new names.

For example, the prefect is called the 'mayor', the prefect is called the 'county magistrate', and there are secretaries, bureau chiefs, clerks, and so on.

These new official titles are all from Li Zixiao.

Because as a descendant, he really couldn't get used to the complicated official titles of the imperial court at this time, so he simply made simplified names according to the habits of later generations.

Li Zixiao is the leader, even the leader is called so, and soon there will be a group of officials below who will learn the style, and they will work up and down, which is the same in ancient times.

However, the simplified names of these official titles are only applicable to everyday use, and when it comes to written documents, government decrees and other serious documents, they still need to be adapted to the official titles.

"Your Excellency praises it, these preparations are what subordinates should do."

Hearing Chen Taihe's praise, Li Ziyu replied without being surprised.

"Hmm."

Seeing Li Ziyu's attitude of not being arrogant or impatient, calm and calm, he appreciated it more and more, and nodded with a smile.

In fact, Li Zixiao is still very interested in these children of the Li family who have joined the Jiangbei civil official team, and Li Zixiao is also very much looking forward to their future.

Therefore, in secret, he arranged all these relatively good children of the Li family to work under Qian Guangyuan, Zheng Guangming, Han Lushan, Chen Taihe and other civil officials in Jiangbei at this time.

Give them more opportunities to learn, and let these civil officials test them more.

More importantly, it is extremely important to follow these civil and official bigwigs to increase their future official capital, and to have a famous teacher in the officialdom of the feudal era.

"The old man said before that no matter how big the difficulty is, it must be overcome. The people scattered on the islands of the Ryukyu Kingdom must all move to Shurijo Castle.

What about Jimin, do you think of any feasible solutions? ”

At this time, Chen Taihe finished smoking the bag of cigarettes, took out the ash in the pipe, and looked at Li Ziyu and asked.

Hearing Chen Taihe's inquiry, Li Ziyu's eyes lit up, knowing that this was Chen Taihe testing him, and he had always wanted to worship Chen Taihe as a teacher, but Chen Taihe refused.

But Li Ziyu never gave up, and this time, in the face of Chen Taihe's test, he knew that this was an opportunity, and he wanted to seize it.

Li Ziyu took a deep breath to calm himself down quickly, and quickly sorted out some of the ideas he had summarized before.

After a while, Li Ziyu raised his head, met Chen Taihe's wise eyes, showed a confident gaze, and said, "My lord, my subordinates do have some superficial ideas.

If there is anything wrong with it, I hope to give me a lot of advice. ”

"Well, tell me about it."

"Next, if you really want to move all the people from the other islands of the Ryukyus Kingdom to Shurijo Castle, the difficulties you will face are nothing more than two main aspects: internal difficulties and external difficulties."

"Oh? How do you explain the internal and external difficulties? When Mrs. Chen heard Li Ziyu say this, she suddenly became interested.

"First of all, the internal difficulties are that on our own side, we have to relocate tens of thousands of people scattered on various islands, and the workload is not ordinary.

Moreover, it requires a tight organization, and it may be difficult to complete it with the manpower we have brought, and the only solution is for General Lu to send a force to assist us.

The trouble is not our internal difficulties, but external difficulties.

First, the Ryukyu Islands are different from the mainland, and the islands are scattered with people, so there are too many problems involved in the migration, and second, there is the problem of resistance of the people.

In case the local people are unwilling to relocate, what should we do, whether to forcibly relocate, or to adopt the Huairou policy......"

After Li Ziyu finished saying what he thought in his heart, Chen Taihe touched his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

"What about Jimin, didn't you want to worship me as a teacher before? Would you like to do it now? ”

Chen Taihe's words made Li Ziyu stunned, he obviously didn't expect Chen Taihe to say this to him at this time.

But immediately, Li Ziyu reacted, and his heart was ecstatic, he finally passed Chen Taihe's test, and immediately knelt down for Chen Taihe, bowed to the teacher, and shouted: "Students visit the teacher." ”

"Okay, get up."

Mrs. Chen picked up Li Ziyu, and she was also very satisfied with her as a student.

Chen Taihe, as an old man, of course understood what Li Zixiao meant by arranging several outstanding children of the Li family to him, as well as Qian Guangyuan and others.

Li Zixiao wanted them to teach these Li family children, but on the other hand, Mrs. Chen and these people didn't want to accept a Li family child as a student.

The master-apprentice relationship between the two sides can not only produce benefits for these Li family children to become officials in the future, but also allow Mrs. Chen and these old guys to get more help under Li Zixiao in the future.

Think about it, if Li Zixiao wins the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, whoever has more students in the DPRK will have a greater right to speak, and this has already appeared in Jiangbei at this time.

At this time, Qian Guangyuan had the most students in Jiangbei, and there is no doubt that Qian Guangyuan has been the first person under Li Zixiao over the years.

This is not only because Qian Guangyuan was the first to follow Li Zixiao, and his own ability is also good, these two reasons, the help of many students under him, are also one of the important reasons.

Chen Taihe has been an official in Daming for more than 20 years before, from a minor official without rank to a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, his career as an official can be described as full of ups and downs.

This also made Chen Taihe deeply understand that officialdom is a battlefield, and it is indispensable to divide factions, and it is indispensable to fight openly and secretly, and if there is a group of capable student officials to help them, it will save them a lot of worry.

Chen Taihe picked up Li Ziyu and said with a smile: "What you said is indeed a problem, but for us, it is not insurmountable.

Because we have two major 'weapons' in our hands, one is General Lu's fleet, and the other is sufficient food.

As long as you have these two 'weapons' in hand, none of the problems you just mentioned will be a problem.

For the people who have migrated to the Ryukyu Kingdom, we will be both rigid and soft, and if we are willing to cooperate, we will give supplements, and we will not treat them badly.

If you don't want to cooperate, a brainless, that's right, just arrest them all, regardless of male and female servitude, we are not worried about the lack of manpower! ”

Chen Taihe is not an ordinary corrupt Confucian, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, if that is the case, he will not be favored by Li Zixiao.

Li Zixiao took a fancy to this person because of his shrewdness and practicality, as long as he could achieve his goal, he didn't mind conscripting all the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom who were unwilling to move to Shuri Castle and using them as slaves.

In this world, sometimes there are indeed some people who belong to the guy who does not go away and fights backwards.

Just like many wealthy gentry in the Ming Dynasty at this time, look at Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty at this time, in order to resist the Tartars, he asked the Manchu ministers to donate some silver, but no one was willing to donate more.

In the hearts of these people, they probably have a lot of reason to think that your old Zhu family, why should we donate silver.

Besides, all this silver is our hard-earned money, even if you are the emperor, we can't donate it to you.

These nobles and officials have forgotten that if Chongzhen hadn't given them power, how could they have the opportunity to use the power in their hands to accept bribes and embezzlement in private!

As a result, these gentry, nobles, and eunuchs who were unwilling to donate silver to Chongzhen, after Li Zicheng entered the city, asked Liu Zongmin, the butcher, to punish them one by one, and then spit out all the silver in their mouths.

And when the Tartars outside the gate enter the customs and raise their butcher knives against them, they will squeeze out the last drop of their blood.

These guys will also bully and bully Chongzhen, if Chongzhen is ruthless before he dies, and he is ruthless to those wealthy gentry, he will definitely not worry about silver.

At that time, Chongzhen will probably be worried that he will not be able to spend too much silver, sometimes knives and guns are far better than benevolence.

In the past, the Confucian saint, in addition to being full of economy, also had to wear a sword when traveling.

It's a pity that those corrupt Confucians in later generations only inherited the benevolence and righteousness left by the Confucian sage, but they forgot that the Confucian sage used the sword to treat the jackal.

Perhaps in times of peace and prosperity, it is not appropriate to use too drastic measures, especially in dealing with the people, but in troubled times, strong measures can achieve higher efficiency.

Li Ziyu is also a flexible person, otherwise he would not have chosen to follow Chen Taihe's side at the beginning.

After hearing Chen Taihe's words at this time, he immediately understood what Chen Taihe meant, and said, "Teacher, if that's the case, we have to talk to General Lu."

We can't let their fleet leave Shuri Castle so quickly, why should they help us complete the relocation of the people before leaving. ”

Chen Taihe shook his head and said, "This estimate is difficult, General Lu also has his own tasks, and it is impossible for the entire fleet to stay and help us."

Now the division can think of a more appropriate way, is to let General Lu leave a detachment to assist us in relocating the people. ”
