Chapter 830 The Tu Emperor

These words are not false, but the following words have a greater meaning.

First, he flattered her, and then expressed his loyalty to her, saying that he would do his best to handle the affairs related to the refugees, in order to fulfill her name of "holy kindness".

The word "knowledge" is vividly embodied by him.

But if you think that's all he means, you're totally wrong.

This statement can be deduced in reverse. It is for the sake of her holy heart and benevolence that Master Li will spare no effort in arranging the refugee matters, so she has no ability to allocate manpower to suppress the bandits.

If you think that he is putting the responsibility for his failure to suppress the bandits on her, the princess, you are totally wrong.

Mr. Li kept saying that it was because of her saintly heart and reputation for benevolence, so all the credit for arranging the refugees belongs to her as the princess.

As the county magistrate, he only acted according to the wishes of the princess.

Mr. Li doesn't take the credit anymore. As the princess who has taken advantage of everything, shouldn't she be rewarded with some sweetness?

For example: Help him solve the bandit problem?

She was given the reputation of being saintly, kind and benevolent from the very beginning. Could she have the heart to let banditry run rampant and cause harm to one party, and then just watch and ignore it?

Mr. Li really deserves the saying, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

The words are twisted and twisted, and those who understand will naturally understand them. Even those who don't understand will be complimented, feel comfortable, and will not offend anyone.

It's no wonder that he has been an official in Liancheng for many years and has not been able to make decisions among the four major families.

Yu Youyao smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Mr. Li rolled his eyes and said quickly: "The county wants to develop sericulture in Liancheng, but such a group of bandits are entrenched in Anshan, robbing passers-by and merchants, and destroying Liancheng, Dandong, Xiuyan and other surrounding sericulture areas.

It has caused a bad impact. If we let these bandits cause trouble, they will become more and more rampant in the future. Even if it is serious, it will affect the princess's plan to develop sericulture."

The arrangement of the refugees was for her, and the suppression of the bandits was for her. Every word was considered for her, which made people speechless.

But if you carefully break apart his words and mash them into pieces, it is indeed true that no one can make mistakes.

Yu Youyao deeply felt that Mr. Li was a wonderful man.

Master Li looked worried: "Now the princess is about to go to Xiangping City. There is an Anshan Mountain between Liancheng and Xiangping, and they have to pass by the foot of Anshan Mountain. What if these bandits don't have the eyes to collide with the princess?

?”

What he said was by no means alarmist.

If those bandits were really afraid of Princess Shaoyi, they would not come out and commit crimes again and again as soon as King Wu Mu left while Princess Shaoyi was still in Liancheng.

King Wu Mu set up a refugee camp in Liancheng and arranged for the refugees to settle down. Those bandits would rather become bandits. It can be seen that they are a bunch of desperadoes. They have a rebellious heart against the court. If they go crazy, they will take action against the county government.

It's not impossible.

"It makes Mr. Li worried."

On the day she came to Liancheng, Yu Youyao had heard from Yin Huaixi that the bandits in Anshan were vicious, otherwise Yin Huaixi would not have arranged for Huang Wenxian to come to meet her, and also asked Youjun, who was originally guarding the refugee camp, to return with them.

Mr. Li hit the snake with a stick, with a look of shame on his face: "Suppressing bandits was originally a matter for the government, but because the government could not allocate manpower to suppress the bandits for a while, it was afraid of missing the princess's affairs, and also worried about the princess's safety.

I was worried about my safety, so I went to find the princess. Do you want to discuss an idea with the princess?"

Yu Youyao smiled, asking for an idea, but he may not really be asking for an idea. It was true that he wanted her to borrow King Wu Mu's help to solve the banditry problem.

However, if Mr. Li had said it clearly, wouldn't he have become a subordinate of his, teaching her how to do things as a princess?!

It's just plain annoying.

Moreover, Mr. Li is not a fool. The vassal king defends one side to resist foreign enemies, and because he holds a large number of troops, he is very jealous. Without the decree of the court, he cannot raise troops internally.

Therefore, asking King Wu Mu to send troops was not justified and his words were not justified.

Even if the suppression of bandits is related to internal and external peace, and is also somewhat related to the national policy issued by the imperial court, if you are not careful, it will still fall into place.

The matter of suppressing bandits had to be mentioned, and Mr. Li did not dare to speak clearly, so he could only tell her in a roundabout way, hoping to get her to intervene in the matter.

Generally speaking, the local government sends troops to exterminate small-scale bandits. If there is a large-scale banditry, the court should send troops.

The imperial court did not issue an order to send people to suppress bandits. Suppressing bandits was the government's own business.

At present, the backlog of cases in the yamen has reached hundreds. If we continue to let it go, these backlogged human life cases will become evidence of the "ineffectiveness" of the other's governance.

If the human life case becomes a big deal, the court will definitely pursue the case. At that time, the case will be demoted or dismissed for investigation.

This is one of them.

Secondly, if this principle is not made clear now, Princess Shaoyi will not be able to explain to Princess Shaoyi of King Wu Mu when her plan to develop sericulture is blocked in the future.

After all, the development of sericulture is also related to the survival of 200,000 refugees.

Master Li's words were indeed accurate and reasonable. It seemed that if she ignored this matter, she would be living up to her reputation as Princess Shaoyi.

Yu Youyao smiled half-heartedly: "As a female prostitute, what ideas can I have? Master Li, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person?"

Mr. Li made a bitter look on his face: "You are a living Bodhisattva who saves people in distress. I might as well give you a clue. There are only three or two kittens in the Yamen. Even if I gather them all together, I won't be able to suppress the bandits."

People, let alone those bandits

, there are desperadoes with human lives on their hands. The officers and soldiers in the yamen are friendly to ordinary people in the government. Let them suppress the bandits. Maybe their legs will weaken when they see blood. I don't have any options.

, I begged you to come to me."

This is true. Those bandits are very troublesome. Mr. Li is so fiercely fighting to suppress the bandits. Maybe there is some unexplainable inside story?

only!

Yu Youyao smiled: "This is a bit exaggerated. Liancheng is one of the gateways to the three places in Beijing. It belongs to a large county. There are hundreds of officials including those who are not in the establishment, but enjoy the imperial court's money and serve the county government.

, there can be thousands of yamen servants in the yamen, and under each yamen servant, there are three to seven "white servants" who, although they do not work in the yamen, are employed by the yamen."

Don't look at the seventh-grade county magistrate. His official position is not great, but his power is great.

Encourage farmers to cultivate mulberry trees, settle prison lawsuits, and issue bans to govern the country if they are virtuous.

All household registration, taxes, money and grain, and payment matters are all under control.

To put it bluntly, he is simply a local emperor.

Generally, in a small county, there are only about twenty or thirty officials, and there are only hundreds, hundreds, or even dozens of government officials.

A large county like Liancheng not only has a very special geographical location, but also serves as a link to communicate with overseas countries. There can be thousands of yamen and white servants.
