Chapter 1994 This is not a joke

Han Yi immediately reported the news from the Yuan family to the court.

Wu Meiniang was of course very happy after learning about this. Although it was just an island thousands of miles away and a place that the Central Plains dynasty had never cared about, it was driven by her. If she still lost, it would be very embarrassing. In fact, if she won, there was nothing to be proud of. The key is how much benefits it could bring to the Central Plains region.

Wu Meiniang immediately convened a key meeting to discuss the matter.

"Now the merchants are victorious in the flag of Buddha's death. And judging from the letter from the Yuan family, it should not be a problem to take down Buddha's death. So, what should the court do next?" Wu Meiniang asked.

Zhang Wenguan’s old ministers looked at each other without saying a word. They were always an unjust war. They were all wars initiated by merchants. Could it be a just war? Moreover, they felt that this was just an irrelevant matter and did not think about it seriously. They would do whatever you like.

This is what Han Yi expects, and immediately said: "I think the court should send some officials there immediately to let everyone know that it is the territory of my Tang Dynasty, and it is also convenient for the people of the Central Plains to move there."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Who will send you to?"

Han Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Our main purpose is to promote our civilization and culture. In terms of the system, we can slowly establish it without rushing it. Therefore, the court should find a very knowledgeable official to go there as a cultural promotion ambassador. Moreover, it is best to be officials in the Lingnan region, or even those exiled there in the past, because they can adapt to the climate there well. If officials are sent from the court, they may face disagreement."

Speaking of this, he looked at Changsun Yan and said, "I think Changsun's father is very suitable."

As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned, as if they had forgotten Changsun, including Changsun Yan, all looked confused.

"Why are you my father?" Changsun Yan blinked and said blankly.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I have worked with Lingzun. I really admire Lingzun's knowledge and character. Lingzun's self-cultivation can actually be said to be a microcosm of my Central Plains civilization culture. At the same time, Lingzun has been in Lingzun for a long time and is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate."

Changsun Yan said with some concern: "But your father, you are old."

Before he could finish his words, Han Yi said, "Don't worry, the court will give him the best care, and he will never suffer any pain there, and the task is not very heavy."

"this."

Changsun Yan seemed a little hesitant, and Han Yi mentioned it a little too suddenly.

Liu Xiangdao suddenly said, "I also agree with the words of the Shangshu Ling. In fact, officials in the court may not be willing to go there, including many local officials. If they go there, they will think that they have been demoted there. Naturally, they will not do it with their hearts. Lingnan is an exiled place, and many exiled officials are very talented. The court can also take this opportunity to give them a chance to correct their mistakes. They will definitely work hard to complete the tasks of the court, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Han Yi nodded and said, "Totally agree."

Zhang Wenguan, Hao Chujun and others also nodded one after another, and they were cheered up.

In fact, the officials who went to Lingnan to exile may not be exiled to Lingnan because of crimes. Many of them were exiled to Lingnan because of crimes. Real crimes may not be punished. Many of them are still their friends. They believe that the court is paying attention to it now. If they can manage the other side well, it will attract the attention of the court. Those who may return to Chang'an at that time will at least give their descendants a good opportunity, so that they will not spend the rest of their lives in Lingnan and be a low-class person for generations. This is a very good opportunity.

But Wu Meiniang was silent for a while before nodding in agreement.

When Changsun Yan saw that everyone nodded, he naturally couldn't say anything. After all, their father and son were both officials, so how could he refuse to be transferred from the court? If your father is old, then anyone will be older.

Then, they had a heated discussion on how to manage the other side.

In fact, this is already very clear in administrative law, but now it is just beginning, and this system has to be established slowly, which is unhurried.

Han Yi still believed that it was necessary to govern inaction. After the officials went there, they mainly promoted civilized culture, including promoting Chinese, Chinese characters, Hanfu, and etiquette. As for management and governance, they first gave merchants the greatest freedom and divided the entire island into businessmen's fields. In fact, according to the overseas land law, it originally belonged to merchants. Let them first clarify their own fields, manage them well, and then establish an administrative system, and then manage them in a unified manner. This is also a relatively low cost.

This has actually been implemented in Lelangzhou and has achieved great success.

Everyone agreed.

Changsun Yan saw that his father was just promoting these things, so he would not be very tired, and his father liked these things, so he relaxed a little.

After the discussion, everyone was about to leave, Wu Meiniang suddenly said, "Shangshu Ling, please stay."

Han Yi looked at Wu Meiniang in surprise, and then sat down again.

Zhang Wenguan and the others just glanced at him slightly, as if they knew why Wu Meiniang called Han Yi. After all, the Changsun family and Wu Meiniang had a deep grudge, so they did not show any surprise and went out with their briefcase.

After they left, Wu Meiniang asked, "Why is Changsun Chong?"

Han Yi said: "Because he is not greedy for power, this is particularly important. If a very strong official goes there, it is very likely to cause a conflict with the merchant. If Changsun Chong is the leader, it will be very beneficial to the businessman's development there."

Wu Meiniang said, "That's all?"

Han Yi said: "Of course, you don't think there is any conspiracy here, right?"

Wu Meiniang thought for a little bit and felt that there was indeed unlikely to be any conspiracy hidden in it, because Changsun Chong, even if he was asked to return to Chang'an to be the prime minister, would not threaten her. Changsun Chong was born to like studying and not like power struggles, and said, "That's not, I just felt a little curious about you suddenly asked Changsun to rush forward."

Han Yi said: "I have always been a man who is not a man. I have worked with Changsun Chong before. He is indeed the most suitable candidate."

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly.

"Oh, I almost forgot something." Han Yi suddenly said.

"What's up?"

"You creditor, you don't remember it." Han Yi smiled.

"Creditor?" Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "You are right."

Han Yi nodded, took out a drawing from the briefcase, handed it to Wu Meiniang, and said, "This has been designed by me through my whole life. I can't think of anything better with this set."

"So quickly, I'll say that I'll spend my whole life's strength, hum." Wu Meiniang was reluctant to believe it. She took it and saw it, and her eyes lit up immediately.

Han Yi smiled, stood up and said, "I'll leave first."

Wu Meiniang was stunned, looked at him, and her lips stammered.

"It's just a little effort, so there's no need to thank you."

Han Yi waved his hand and walked outside.

Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and smiled, then turned her eyes to the design drawing, with a look of love in her eyes

After Li Zhi heard the news, he was also very happy. He is now paying attention to the other side. So he summoned Han Yi and Li Ji to Liangyi Hall, and the three kings and ministers made a conclusion. He basically decided to establish the Tang Dynasty Navy and open the three major ports of Jiaozhi, Yangzhou and Guangzhou at the same time. In other words, Jiaozhi must be completely included in the Central Plains, because there are so many more islands there and successfully become a place of exile. Then Jiaozhi will naturally become the Central Plains. The Central Plains region is actually not a specific area and has been growing bigger.

As for administrative power, it can be relaxed and given freedom to merchants, but it cannot be said that they can make themselves kings there. Then the battle will have no meaning to Li Zhi, and the navy can well maintain Li Zhi's rule over there, which is also an important reason for the establishment of the navy.

In addition, this victory had nothing to do with Dugu Wuyue's main force in the navy. At that time, Dugu Wuyue had not arrived yet, but he had already won. However, Li Zhi and Li Ji both believed that Dugu Wuyue had gone there and was not easy to go back and forth, so he simply took the opportunity to take down all the islands there, including the areas south of Jiaozhi, that is, the places in Chameng, which were best to handle at one time. These lands can be considered to be from the court, and the court could sell them to merchants or organize the people to move there.

However, this was a secret order issued by Li Zhi himself, without going through the three provinces, because Li Zhi did not want to discuss moral issues with those civil officials. It was already like this, so why do you have to cover up the fig leaf? Anyway, no one in the Central Plains knew what the Tang army did there.

As for Changsun Chong's matter, Li Zhi readily agreed, but he didn't ask, because his idea was to use the navy to control where, what governance power and management power could be given to the merchants first, and it didn't matter who they sent. In short, military power must be in the hands of the court, so that the merchants can not only give them enough space, but also prevent chaos.

In fact, as long as the navy is in hand, the merchants dare not jump and do not need to hit you. As long as the sea is blocked and their merchant ships are not allowed to go to sea, the island will have no value. The merchants fight there, not intending to live there, but hoping to get the raw materials there.

Li Zhi formally appointed Changsun Chong as the first cultural ambassador of the Tang Dynasty, and was given a fourth-rank official rank, and was specifically responsible for promoting the civilized culture of the Tang Dynasty.

Changsun Mansion.

"The eldest son."

"Uncle Fu."

Changsun Yan had just returned home when he suddenly saw the old housekeeper who had been following Changsun Wuji in the mansion. He was surprised and said, "Uncle Fu, when did you come back?"

Uncle Fu smiled and said, "I just came back not long ago." As he said, he immediately said, "I just came back, and I heard that the court appointed the prince-consort as the cultural ambassador and was going to take office in Yuanzhou. Is this true?"

Changsun Yan nodded.

Fu Bo said: "The eldest son, the prince is old, so don't let him run and work hard."

Changsun Yan sighed: "I don't want my father to work hard, but Han Yi thinks his father is the most suitable candidate, and the Secretary of the Communist Party of China also agreed that his father is an official, so what can I do? But Uncle Fu, please rest assured. Han Yi has repeatedly promised me that he will take good care of his father and will not let him suffer."

Fu Bo said: "In other words, Han Yi recommended the prince consort to go there."

Changsun Yan nodded and asked again: "Is there anything wrong with it?"

Uncle Fu was stunned and hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm just a little worried." His eyes flashed with a worried light.

Changsun Yan said: "I'm not to hide it from Uncle Fu. I was also worried at first, but after listening to Han Yi's explanation, I think this cultural ambassador is indeed quite suitable for Daddy."

Uncle Fu just nodded absent-mindedly.

That night.

Uncle Fu came to the small house where Han Yi had met with Changsun Wuji in secret. At this time, there was only a masked woman sitting inside.

"Young master, I have asked the eldest son, that was Han Yi recommended the prince to go. It seems that Han Yi is not scaring us this time." Uncle Fu said with concern.

"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible."

The masked woman stood up and said excitedly: "How could Han Yi know that Wang Xuan is in our hands? He must be scaring us. Uncle Fu, we must keep calm."

Uncle Fu frowned slightly and said, "But no matter whether it is possible, we can't bet on this. The eldest son is the last hope of our Changsun family, but the eldest son is determined not to be Han Yi's opponent. Now, Han Yi will transfer the son-in-law overseas in one sentence. If Han Yi really transfers the eldest son there, then the Changsun family will have no more days to turn around. How can we face the master at that time?"
