Korea Nanjing.

The former government office.

Today's Andong Hudufu Yamen is also the residence of Li Yan's family in Nanjing, Korea.

To be honest, after getting used to living in the palace, Li Yan was really not used to living in such a simple place.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

Fortunately, Li Yan is very sober, knowing that now is far from the time to enjoy.

Therefore, even though he already had a lot of beauties, Li Yan got up early, practiced the stick technique for an hour, and then started to work.

While Li Yan, Qiu Xian, Guo Yong and others were discussing the opening of the mansion, Qiao Daoqing and Yang Zhi, who were busy with travel and life, came in from outside.

Seeing Qiao Daoqing and Yang Zhi coming in to deal with follow-up matters, Li Yan immediately got up to pick up Qiao Daoqing and Yang Zhi, and said: "Military division and Brother Yang Zhi have worked hard."

As soon as Yang Zhi wanted to speak, Qiao Daoqing stopped Yang Zhi, and then said: "Working for the governor, how can a humble person dare to say hard work."

Li Yan was startled, and then said: "Why is the military commander so polite?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "The current status of the governor is different from that of the past, and it is time to establish rules."

After hearing Qiao Daoqing's words, Qiu Xian and Guo Yong glanced at each other, then nodded at the same time.

Qiu then said: "That's right, the old titles of 'brother' and 'brother' should be discarded."

Guo Yong said cleanly: "There is no rule without rules."

Li Yan hesitated and said, "Is this necessary?"

At this time, a voice came in from outside: "It is necessary."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Wen Huanzhang and four literati with extraordinary bearing coming in from the outside.

Before Li Yan could speak, Wen Huanzhang bowed solemnly to Li Yan and said, "Great Governor!"

Seeing this, Li Yan knew that the era when there was no superiority or inferiority had passed.

Li Yan knew that this was something that would inevitably appear after a power developed to a certain level.

Otherwise, there will be no rank.

Some people will ask, isn't it good to have no grades?
In fact, this question does not need to be answered at all.

If it is better to have no hierarchy, then why hasn't the hierarchy been eliminated in later generations?

Just one point, the hierarchy must exist, that is - who will listen to when something goes wrong?
for example:

The enemies over there have already attacked, and here they are still discussing and discussing who will command, who will lead the troops, who will come... Needless to say, all the appointments here will be over.

Therefore, a hierarchy must be established, regardless of whether Li Yan is suitable or not.

After getting used to it for a while, Li Yan said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I have to adapt for a while." Then Li Yan looked at the four handsome literati behind Wen Huanzhang and asked, "Who are these four?"

Wen Huanzhang said, "I'm here to introduce you to the governor."

After finishing speaking, Wen Huanzhang invited a scribe who was about thirty or forty years old, and said, "This is Xiao Jiasui, a hermit from Jingnan."

When Li Yan heard that this person was the hermit Xiao Jiasui who was capable of writing and martial arts, Li Yan couldn't help but couldn't believe it while being delighted.

There are two people in Water Margin, the most difficult to deal with.

One of them is this Xiao Jiasui.

He is too picky, he doesn't like Zhao Ji as a foolish ruler, nor Wang Qing as reckless and reckless.

One can be strong without desire.

Because he doesn't ask for anything, doesn't care about anything, so that he has no weakness.

And the martial arts are so high that it is impossible to catch them.

Therefore, Li Yan actually did not have much hope for inviting Xiao Jiasui.

He never expected that this great talent was really invited by him!
Li Yan looked at Xiao Jiasui and said: "Xiao Sengda braved the rain to repair the sun, and the waves were raging and angry. Kecheng Zhishui embankment was successful, and six ears of Jiahe were born in one stalk. Mr. Xiao can come to join... that, I'm sorry, I'm used to it, and it's really a good fortune for Liang Shanbo to come and do something great together."

Xiao Jiasui has been observing Li Yan since he came in.

To be honest, Xiao Jiasui didn't actually plan to become an official before, but he was curious how a strong man went overseas to regain his homeland, and he did it, so he came to have a look.

Now seeing Li Yan reveal his life experience with just one word, Xiao Jiasui immediately felt how extraordinary Li Yan was.

Xiao Jiasui said: "I have seen the governor."

Li Yan said bluntly: "Now I am lucky enough to take back the two counties of Lelang and Zhenfan in Liangshanbo. I want to move millions of Han people and turn this place into a land for Han people. We are in urgent need of talents to realize this dream together. I hope Mr. Xiao can help us .”

The total number of Koreans in Lelang and Zhenpan counties does not exceed 70. If 100 million Han people are immigrated, it will indeed turn this place into a Han land forever.

And, it's not impossible.

In Hebei, Shandong and other places, there was a severe drought last year, and it rained again this year. The Yellow River burst its embankment, so that Hebei, Shandong and other places are full of victims who cannot survive. How easy it is to recruit them. Just take this time as an example. Without much effort, Huanzhang recruited nearly [-] Han people to come with them.

In this way, it only takes [-] or [-] times to complete this grand goal.

For the Han Chinese, this is extremely meaningful.

Therefore, not only Xiao Jiasui was a little moved, but even the other three were a little moved.

Seeing that Xiao Jiasui was only motivated and did not agree, Li Yan said again: "I will only discuss with you a general direction for the planning of the two counties, and you can discuss the rest yourself. I will not interfere more, and will try my best. Delegating power to you, I think, you have studied hard for more than ten years, in order to have this opportunity to show what you have learned."

Hearing Li Yan's sincere words, Xiao Jiasui was silent for a while, then bowed to Li Yan on the ground, and said, "I would like to do my best."

Li Yan quickly helped Xiao Jiasui up.

Seeing this, Wen Huanzhang introduced another fat man to Li Yan, and said, "This is Zhao Ding and Zhao Yuanzhen."

With the name of "Zhao Ding", Li Yan was even more happy, even ecstatic!
Li Yan has a lot of great talents, but none of them are real prime ministers, whether it is Wang Lun, Sun Jing, Qiao Daoqing, Zhu Wu, or Wen Huanzhang, who Li Yan is most optimistic about at present, or the one who just joined Xiao Jiasui, in fact, does not have the talent of a prime minister. They are too quack, and they all have one or another shortcoming. The most important thing is actually ability. The ability to manage a country is not something ordinary people can have.

for example:

Li Gang.

He was the first prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty.

He is also a recognized loyal minister.

However, in the second year of Baoqing, Song Lizong made a list of 24 heroes in Zhaoxun Pavilion to evaluate the 24 heroes of the Song Dynasty. There was neither Li Gang nor Yue Fei. This shows that in the eyes of the rulers of the Song Dynasty, Li Gang was not a competent prime minister. He Yuefei is not qualified to enter the Zhaoxun Pavilion, and is ranked second among the 24 heroes of the Song Dynasty.

Some people may be dissatisfied, thinking that this is Song Lizong's short-sightedness and ignorance of real heroes.

Actually, there is a reason for this, and for good reason.

If you want to know what the reason is, whether it is sufficient or not, please see the next chapter for decomposition.
