Chapter seven hundred and eighty-ninth do not understand the government?
[PS: One word was modified in the previous chapter, and it was deleted in this chapter. It’s depressing. It’s not interesting if there’s no mention in this chapter. If you see this PS, you can go back and complain again...]
Just now the old emperor asked him in the court what he thought about water control, and Li Yi said he didn't understand.
That's really not understandable.
The floods in the south have been going on for a long time, and all the officials at the Water Supervision Bureau have been unable to do anything. Li Yi estimates that by the time they come up with a solution, the floods will be over, and there will be no question of whether they can be cured or not.
No matter how rich his theoretical knowledge was, he could only talk about it on paper. He did not think that the officials of the Metropolitan Water Supervision Bureau, who had been controlling water all their lives, knew less than him in this regard.
Now in front of the eldest princess, he said he understood.
This is also true.
It’s not like we really asked him to control floods. He was the best at talking on paper.
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "to govern a country, you must first control the water." When it comes to water control, it can be traced back to the Yao and Shun periods. Dayu was ordered to control the water..., and it has developed to this day, from avoiding to controlling, from blocking to dredging, and from dredging to dredging.
Guidance, from passive to active, from single to comprehensive..."
Li Mingzhu opened her lips slightly and looked at him in a daze. She had just heard the officials' ideas on water control. Although there were some truths, they were extremely complicated and coherent, and were far from clear as what Li Yi was talking about now.
There was no pause in his tone. From ancient times, along the timeline, he talked about the deeds and methods of officials in past dynasties to control water, including the advantages and disadvantages of the methods they used, what needs to be learned and what needs to be discarded, in a clear and organized manner.
sequence……
Of course Li Yi can talk in an orderly manner, because the book is arranged according to the timeline.
Of course, Jingguo's books on water control are just some messy notes, but later generations of experts and scholars who he considered to be idle people studied these thoroughly and even extended them to the field of philosophy.
So Emperor Jing and several officials of the court, who were hiding behind the bushes, all knew how to apply the idea of the unity of nature and man to water control, how to connect water control with the Taoist theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and how to add the idea of conforming to nature.
From the concept of water control...
Li Yi felt that the experts and scholars of later generations were so ridiculous. After saying it once, he was almost convinced. If Yuan Laodao heard these words, he should be very happy. Maybe once he enlightens, he can ascend to meet their Taoists.
Ancestor.
Of course, these are just condiments, and we have to get back to the topic in the end.
The water control methods of later generations with the help of technology are not applicable here, but some correct concepts should be of great inspiration to her. If the old emperor asked, she could explain clearly. Li Yi felt that even
Officials in the Water Supervision Bureau lacked that insight and accumulated hundreds or thousands of years of experience, so they were slightly inferior to her in theory.
However, the flood has been a problem for a long time, and according to past practice, there is no need to treat it anymore. It can be used next time the problem occurs again.
Her Royal Highness the Princess gave full play to the principle that a good memory is worse than a bad pen and wrote down everything he said.
"Don't you know how to control water?"
Behind the trees, Emperor Jing's eyes narrowed. The scene in the main hall just now appeared in his mind for an unknown number of times.
Prime Minister Qin and others finally realized that it was not that he didn't understand at all, he knew much better than anyone else!
But, why didn't he say these words in court?
Emperor Jing glanced through the gap, and just as he was about to walk out, there was another sound outside, causing his footsteps to pause again.
"Of course, the flood has occurred, which is irreversible. However, the impact of these natural disasters is more than that." Li Yi looked at the eldest princess and said slowly: "After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic, and we must strictly control it. Control, otherwise, it will cause greater harm. Also, how should the refugees who are homeless due to the disaster be resettled? What if the arrangements are not made properly and are used by people with malicious intentions to incite the refugees to rebel? What will the court do? "
Behind the bushes, Emperor Jing and Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Chen all had serious expressions on their faces.
Li Yi is right. Floods are not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is how to resettle refugees after the floods, how to prevent the occurrence of epidemics, and how to minimize disasters...
Soon, they will face such a problem.
If there is a little negligence, great turmoil will occur in the disaster-stricken area. After the disaster occurs, plague will spread all over the place, refugees will flee in all directions, and the refugees will be incited to rebel. There is no precedent for such a thing.
Everyone's mood became heavy because of Li Yi's words.
However, at this time, the sounds outside suddenly became brisk.
"Of course, these are small things."
Li Yi looked at the eldest princess, smiled, and said: "Epidemic prevention must be done. Don't drink raw water, pay attention to hygiene, establish epidemic prevention areas... These are actually very simple. I will write an epidemic prevention manual when the time comes, and you can submit it. Just give it to Your Majesty. As for the proper resettlement of the refugees, this is a problem that cannot be taken lightly. If we don’t want the refugees to wander around, the treasury will get some money..."
Behind the bushes, Emperor Jing finally felt relieved. Since he said so, there should be no need to worry about the epidemic.
Then, there was a hint of annoyance on his face. If he hadn't suddenly thought of it today, he would never have known that he was hiding his talents in front of the king of a country, but he was so calm with Mingzhu...
I was in vain for being so kind to him. In the end, he was worse than...
He suddenly realized that although Li Yi's advice was not told directly to him, the effect was the same. It was just that there was one more person in the middle, one more person that he would never envy or be jealous of.
He was worried that if he acted too much, he would entrust him with a heavy responsibility - with his temperament, it is not unusual for him to do such a thing.
"In this case, it might be a good idea..." A smile appeared on Emperor Jing's lips, and he immediately had a plan in mind.
He turned his head and continued to listen carefully.
"Speaking of the imperial court's allocation of money, we must be careful not to let all the disaster relief funds go into the pockets of corrupt officials. To be honest, the imperial court has done a very bad job in this regard." Li Yi frowned and said : "It needs a little restructuring here, so..."
There are actually big problems with the feudal official system, including their way of doing things. Li Yi cannot completely overthrow it. He can only use scientific management methods to prevent the occurrence of corruption to the greatest extent, and also how to rebuild after the disaster and how to resettle it. Disaster victims, tell her ways to reduce losses and watch her write them down one by one.
There had been no sound from outside for a long time. Emperor Jing took a deep breath and stepped out from behind.
"Speaking of restructuring..." Her Royal Highness had a rare opportunity to study hard today. Li Yi decided to talk more, looked at her, and said: "In fact, the imperial court needs restructuring in many aspects, including farming, taxation, imperial examinations, water conservancy, and military affairs.
..., what are you looking at?”
Realizing that the eldest princess was looking directly behind him, Li Yi turned around and saw that there was nothing there. He looked at her and asked doubtfully.
"It's okay." Li Mingzhu looked away and shook her head.
"Listen carefully and don't get distracted." Li Yi glanced at her dissatisfied and asked, "Where did you just talk?"
"...reform."
"Yes, restructuring, where do we start with this? Yes, let's start with farming..." Li Yi nodded and spoke again.
The feudal dynasty has gone through thousands of years. Dynasties have changed, and the country has changed hands. In the long history, the spring breeze of reform has blown again and again. Of course, it must be combined with the national conditions at that time, but some places are similar. At present, the various systems of Jingguo
, naturally cannot be called perfect, and can carry out large or small reforms in all aspects to make the country prosperous and the people strong...
Li Yi didn't want her to change anything, he just hoped that she could remember some of what he said today. When facing government affairs in the future, she and the officials in the DPRK would not be at the same level.
Reform or reform has always been extremely sensitive. He was very careful when speaking, unprecedentedly careful. The aspects he described were all verified by history. He took them out and put them in the court, trying to avoid some sensitive aspects.
, rarely touches the interests of the royal family and certain people. Although there are small disadvantages, it is beneficial to the country and the people in the general direction.
He had to ensure that these words coming out of the eldest princess's mouth would not arouse too much suspicion and opposition from others. Therefore, he needed to be extra careful.
Behind the bushes, Emperor Jing rubbed his eyebrows. The expression on his face could not be said to be happy or angry.
He doesn't understand government affairs, he doesn't understand government affairs - if he doesn't understand government affairs, no one in this world will understand government affairs.
What I am happy about is that his talent and ability far exceed my expectations. To a certain extent, this person is worthy of being a civil and military officer of the entire dynasty!
What makes him angry is that since he has such talent, why should he hide it? If he takes the position of either of the two prime ministers, he will not have to worry about the affairs of the court in the future.
Qin Xiang's body trembled slightly, and for the first time his old face showed an expression of extreme shock. Monster, monster!
This person - can already be called a monster!
Prime Minister Shen looked astonished and was shocked in his heart. As for the other officials, their expressions were equally shocked, and could even be called - horrified!
I don’t understand government affairs, I don’t understand government affairs... I couldn’t help but blush with embarrassment when I thought of what they had just said about the Marquis of Li County.
How do they have such qualifications!
At this moment, they finally understood why His Majesty insisted on giving him that position.
In the entire court, is there anyone more suitable than him?
Your Majesty..., you have a keen eye for knowing people, your Majesty is indeed your Majesty!
Li Mingzhu suddenly felt regretful. He knew that Li Yi had never had any reservations about her, but just because he was willing to say these words to himself did not mean that he was willing to be heard by others.
"do not talk."
She stood up, covered Li Yi's mouth with her hand, and whispered: "Stop talking..."
Li Yi was more focused than ever before. She suddenly covered his mouth and almost bit his tongue. He stared at her with wide eyes, hummed twice, opened her hand, sighed, and frowned: "What are you doing?
