Just now the old emperor asked him what he thought about water control in the court hall, Li Yi said he didn't understand.
That is really not understand.
The floods in the south have been going on for a long time, and the officials of the entire capital water supervision department can't do anything about it. Li Yi estimates that when they figure out a way, the floods will be over, and it doesn't matter what the problem is.
No matter how rich his theoretical knowledge was, it was only on paper. He didn't think that the officials of the Metropolitan Water Supervision Bureau who had spent their entire lives in water control knew less than he did in this regard.
Now in front of the eldest princess, he said he understood.
This is also true.
It's not really asking him to control the water, just talking about it on paper, he is the best.
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'to govern the country, you must first control the water'. When it comes to water control, it can be traced back to the period of Yao and Shun, when Dayu was ordered to control the water... and it has developed from avoidance to control, from blocking to dredging, from dredging to guiding. , from passive to active, from single to comprehensive... "
Li Mingzhu's red lips parted slightly, and she 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 the reasoning was far less clear than what Li Yi said now.
His tone did not pause at all. From ancient times, along the timeline, he talked about the deeds and methods of water control by officials of all dynasties, including the advantages and disadvantages of the methods they used, what needs to be learned from, and what needs to be discarded. The order is clear and orderly. sequence…
Of course, Li Yi can speak 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 those experts and scholars in later generations who seem to him to be idle have nothing to do, but they have studied these thoroughly, and even extended them to the field of philosophy.
So Emperor Jing, who was hiding behind the bushes, and several senior officials in the court knew how the idea of the unity of man and nature should be applied to water control, how to link water control with the Taoist theory of yin and yang and five elements, and how to add the idea of conforming to nature to the water. In the concept of water control...
Li Yi felt that those experts and scholars of later generations were so good at talking. After he finished speaking, he was almost convinced. Yuan Laodao should be very happy to hear these words. Maybe once he enlightens, he will be able to ascend to meet their Taoists Patriarch.
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 ideas should be of great inspiration to her. If the old emperor asks, she can make it clear. Li Yi feels that even if it is all The officials of the water supervision, without that knowledge and hundreds of thousands of years of experience accumulation, are also slightly inferior to her in theory.
However, the flood has been going on for a long time, and according to the past practice, there is no need to treat it at all, and it can be used when it happens again next time.
Her Royal Highness made full use of the principle that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and wrote down what he said one by one.
"Don't know how to control water?"
Behind the bushes, Emperor Jing's eyes narrowed. He didn't know how many times the scene in the hall just now came to his mind.
Qin Pang and others finally realized that it was not that he didn't understand at all, he knew more than anyone else!
But, why didn't he say these words in the court
Emperor Jing glanced through the gap, and when he was about to lift his foot to go out, there was another sound outside, making his footsteps pause again.
"Of course, the flood has already happened, which is irreversible, but the impact of these natural disasters is more than that." Li Yi looked at the eldest princess and said slowly: "After the big disaster, there will be a big epidemic, and we must strictly control it." Control, otherwise, it will cause more harm. Also, how should the refugees who are homeless due to the disaster be resettled? What if the arrangements are not made properly and they are used by those who want to incite the refugees to rebel, what should the court do? "
Behind the bushes, Emperor Jing, Xiang Qin and Shen Xiang all had serious expressions on their faces.
What Li Yi said is not wrong. The flood is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is how to resettle refugees after the flood, how to prevent the occurrence of the epidemic, and how to minimize the disaster...
Soon, they will face such a problem.
A little negligence would cause great turmoil in the disaster-stricken area. After the disaster, plagues spread all over the place, refugees ran everywhere, and incited refugees to rebel. Such a thing is not without precedent.
Everyone's mood became heavy because of Li Yi's words.
However, at this time, the voice outside suddenly became lighter.
"Of course, these are small things."
Li Yi looked at the eldest princess, smiled, and said, "Epidemic prevention must be done. Don't drink unboiled water, pay attention to hygiene, and establish an epidemic prevention area... These are actually very simple. When the time comes, I will write an epidemic prevention manual and you will submit it to me." Your Majesty is fine. As for the proper settlement of the refugees, this is a question that cannot be tricked. If you don’t want the refugees to run around, the treasury may get some money... "
After the bushes, Emperor Jing finally relaxed a little. Since he said so, there should be no need to worry about the epidemic.
Afterwards, a little annoyed expression appeared on his face. If he hadn't made a sudden move today, he might never have known that he was hiding his talents in front of himself, the king of a country, but he was so calm towards Mingzhu...
It was in vain to favor him so much, but in the end, it was not as good as...
He suddenly realized that Li Yi's advice, although he didn't tell him directly, had the same effect, 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 behaved too much, he would entrust him with a heavy responsibility—with his temperament, it was not unusual to do such a thing.
"So, it's a good idea..." Emperor Jing's mouth curled into a smile, and he immediately had a plan in mind.
He turned his head and continued to listen carefully.
"When it comes to the imperial court's money transfer, you have to watch carefully. Don't let all the disaster relief money go into the pockets of those corrupt officials. To be honest, the imperial court has done a very bad job in this regard." Li Yi frowned and said : "There needs to be a little restructuring here so that..."
There are actually big problems in the feudal official system, including their way of doing things. Li Yi can't completely overthrow it. He can only use scientific management methods to prevent corruption to the greatest extent. By the way, how to rebuild after the disaster and how to resettle The disaster victims told her the way to reduce the loss, and watched her record them one by one.
There has 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 is hard-working and hardworking today. Li Yi decided to talk more, looked at her, and said, "In fact, many aspects of the imperial court need to be reformed, such as farming, tax laws, imperial examinations, water conservancy, and military... , what are you looking at?"
Seeing that the eldest princess was staring directly behind him, Li Yi turned his head to look, but there was nothing there, looked at her, and asked in doubt.
"It's okay." Li Mingzhu looked away and shook her head.
"Listen carefully, don't be distracted." Li Yi gave her a dissatisfied look, and asked, "What did you just say?"
"... Restructuring."
"Yes, restructuring, where does this start? 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 there are some parts that are interlinked. At present, the various systems of Jingguo , of course it cannot be called perfect, large or small reforms can be carried out in all aspects to make the country rich and the people strong...
Li Yi didn't want her to change anything, but only hoped that she could remember some of what he said today, so that she would not be at the same level as the officials of the court when facing political affairs in the future.
Reforms or reforms have always been extremely sensitive. He is very careful in his words, unprecedentedly careful, and the aspects he narrates have also been verified by history. Take them out and put them in the court, try to avoid some sensitive aspects , rarely touch the interests of the royal family and some people, although there are small disadvantages, but the general direction is beneficial to the country and the people.
He had to ensure that these words would not arouse too much suspicion and opposition from the eldest princess, so he needed to be extra careful.
Behind the bushes, Emperor Jing rubbed the center of his brows, the expression on his face could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Don't understand the government, don't understand the government - if he doesn't understand the government, no one in this world will understand the government.
What makes me happy is that his talent and ability far exceed my expectations. To a certain extent, there is such a person who can be regarded as a civil and military man of the Manchu Dynasty!
What is angry is that since he has this talent, why should he hide it? If he takes the place of either of the two prime ministers, he will not have to bother about the court affairs in the future.
Qin Xiang's body trembled slightly, and an expression of extreme shock appeared on his old face for the first time, evildoer, evildoer!
This person - can already be called a monster!
Shen Xiang's expression was astonished, and his heart was shocked. As for the other officials, their expressions were also shocked, and they could even be called - panic!
I don't understand the government, I don't understand the government... Thinking of their evaluation of Li Xianhou just now, the old face couldn't help but blush.
Where 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 know people with your eyes, your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty!
Li Mingzhu suddenly felt a little regretful. He knew that Li Yi had never had any reservations about her, but he was willing to say these words to himself, but it didn't mean 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 concentrated his mind like never before. She covered his mouth suddenly and almost bit his own tongue. He stared at her with wide eyes, snorted twice, opened her hand, poohed, frowned and said, "What are you doing?" , have you washed your hands..."
