Li Yi knew that the generals of this era were too good at fighting. Once they encountered an opportunity, they would definitely take action.
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo Dynasty had lost a lot in the past, but in the Kaiyuan Era, they could fight anyone.
When the enemy attacked, not only could they block it, but they could also counterattack.
If the enemy was slightly careless, they would directly attack.
It was because of this that the Tang Dynasty started to trust the provincial governors. Then, as the economy gradually deteriorated, the soldiers raised by the provincial governors became more powerful …
This was the result of the military and government being concentrated in one person. They were not separated, and there were fewer restrictions on each other.
During Li Yi's time, the military was the military, the secretary was the secretary, and the head of the administration was the head of the administration.
Corruption was unavoidable, but it was impossible for them to rebel.
No one said that they could unify the local government.
In the past, there were various military regions. Later, they found that it was easy to have problems with just the military regions. In the end, they turned it into a bigger war zone.
"Brother Yi, with this system, the relationship between the imperial court and the local government will be closer. Wherever there is a village, there will be a courier station. What do you think?"
Li Longji asked with a look of "I have thought of something you did not".
"Third Brother, please enlighten me." Li Yi's eyes were filled with confusion. In fact, he was thinking of reporting and appealing to the higher-ups.
He did not know if the Tang Dynasty was useful. Anyway, it was useless for him at that time. The most useful thing for him at that time was to look for the media.
Once the media was exposed, the local government would be more proactive. If the matter was blown up, the higher-ups would also speak out. Otherwise, they would be like the blind and deaf.
"Brother Yi, think about it. There are many letters exchanged, and the courier station is independent. If someone discovers that the local officials are corrupt, can they write a letter and send it over?"
Li Longji said with an expression of "I have the world under my control".
"Then where should I write the address? If the village reports the county magistrate, who should I write a letter to? If I write a letter to the provincial government, what if the provincial government has a good relationship with the county magistrate? "Li Yi asked the first question.
"If I write a letter to the imperial court, I will boycott the Chang 'an Xingqing Palace, and then … the Minister of Internal Affairs."
Li Longji said the address. He was still worried about others.
Li Yi nodded: "Are the people in the courier station locals or people from other places? Would one of those people see this address and run to report it to the county magistrate?
Faster letters required more money. Without that kind of money, they would have to wait patiently and send a batch when they had enough money.
Who knew if there was a reply to the letter to the Ministry of Internal Servants of Xingqing Palace in Chang 'an? Who would know if it was delivered or not?
How much money would it take for the people at the relay station to take out the letter and destroy it? Will the person who wrote the letter die later? "
Li Longji picked up a skewer and ate it silently. After taking a bite, he pulled the tray over and dipped it in the sauce.
"Where did the circle around the scallops go?" Li Longji did not want to talk about the prevention of corruption. He realized that he could not stop it.
"The edge of the skirt has been cut off. It might contain something you're allergic to. You can't touch it now, or you'll have to recuperate slowly.
When you're better, I'll make a spicy skirt for you. I'll add more coriander and scallion oil. That'll be delicious.
It's not complicated at all. It just depends on whether you're willing to investigate or not. "
Li Yi had long been used to it. The world was the same. What integrity index was high? It was all bullshit.
For example, the person who ranked first insulted his country's flag during the epidemic.
Also, the person who ranked in the top ten gave out the Peace Prize. He knelt down before them internationally.
Li Yi understood that the more he knew, the more he despised these claims of integrity.
Li Longji could see Li Yi's attitude from his expression. He was not happy: "Shouldn't we investigate?"
"Yao Chong's family is so greedy. His sons … …" Li Yi only said one sentence.
"This place involves the people." Li Longji's voice became softer.
"Should we investigate corruption or bribery? I've even bribed people. Which of the officials in the government hasn't received benefits from the Li Family Zhuangzi? "
"Those who harm the people should be investigated. At least the officials in the government don't dare to bully the people. You're keeping an eye on them."
"Then investigate. Send someone to investigate secretly. Don't investigate openly."
"What if the people sent can't do it?"
"It may be a problem to send one batch. Send one batch every month. Didn't I say before that we can't afford to bribe people? There are too many people."
"Send it this year. We can't tolerate it."
"Third brother, drink the soup. The turtle soup is cold. It's too fishy." Li Yi stopped talking. He had said what he wanted to say.
"I don't like to eat turtle. There's too little meat." Li Longji was pretentious.
"It's been stewed for more than eight hours. Eat the soup and tremella. Take the turtle back to the village. The meat has more nutrients than the soup."
Li Longji drank a few mouthfuls of soup and ate two tremella: "Brother Yi, if you were a provincial governor, what would you do?"
"Third brother, are you asking about integrity? Of course I'm honest. I have money. It's a joke if others want to bribe me.
If you want to talk about killing people, it depends on the local situation. If the local people have a good life, I won't do anything even if I know the officials have made a lot of money.
If the local people are starving and the local officials are not greedy, I'll take care of them and not let them be officials.
If the local people have a bad life and the local officials have a good life, I'll kill them myself. It's not a problem. I kill people like killing chickens. "
Li Yi took half of the turtle and looked at it. Eat the meat. Even if there was not much meat, he would still eat it.
"Where's the blood?" Li Longji suddenly thought of something important. Where did the turtle's blood go?
"I gave it to sister-in-law. It's a cup of strong liquor. You can't drink it. If you drink it, how many days do you have to recuperate?"
"Oh, that's fine." Li Longji thought it was fine as long as it was not wasted.
"The little guy will sleep with me tonight. Third brother, you have a weak stomach, not a weak kidney." Li Yi pointed at the fish soup.
Li Longji just said that he did not like to eat it. Now he moved the other half of the turtle and tasted it carefully. He did not give it to Li Yi.
Li Yi then said, "There won't be any big issues in the near future. I'll give you something to talk about.
Regarding the construction of the wooden tracks in the capital, you don't have to go to work. Throw it out for your subordinates to discuss.
You should have a good night's sleep. If you're stressed out for a long time, your hormones will go haywire.
Rest for a day and you'll be able to adjust. If there's any big issues, I won't go out. I'll be here. "
"I don't have to go to work tomorrow?" Li Longji was like a child.
"Just stay on Mount Li. You don't have to worry about Zhuangzi's small business. If it doesn't work out, I'll write a letter to Old Bi and ask him to help take care of it."
Li Yi nodded. Rest. Everyone else has a break. Do you have one?
Li Longji's mental state immediately changed. He was like a child who had received an adult's promise that he would not go to school tomorrow and would go to the amusement park.
Li Longji could not wait any longer. He ran out to write and told the officials what to discuss tomorrow. He knew that Li Yi already had a complete plan. He just wanted the others to have something to do.
Li Yi also wrote a letter to Bi Goo. However, it was not about the tracks.
He asked Bi Goo to sort out the issues of the positioning of the goods and the value of the taxes. They had to come up with a triple account. Otherwise, there would be trouble.
If they did not come up with a triple account, there would be loopholes.
It was the beginning of spring and the river was the most important.
