Li Qin sat in his seat, recalling the advice his eldest son had given him.
It must be said that even many of his ideas are not as ruthless as his.
He really hadn't expected Li Ruwen to be such a timid and hesitant person.
My inner thoughts are surprisingly... hilarious.
Li Qin could only sigh in the end.
He's a complete hypocrite.
Then he remembered Zhuang Xiaoyu's high-pressure education of Li Ruwen.
This guy looks honest and upright, but I wonder if he's already twisted inside.
However, judging from his opinions on how to handle those matters, although they were immature, they were still logical.
This proves that he still has the logical ability to think and has not become a madman.
This influence likely stems from his personality.
Fortunately, he is still young, and these things can still be corrected.
Looking at his two legitimate sons, Li Qin shook his head; neither of them was up to standard.
As for his newborn third son, Li Ruci, he is still too young to tell.
Let's keep raising him and see. If he's up to par, we can consider it.
However, that is, if it doesn't die before then.
Given these conditions, the infant mortality rate is simply too high.
He still needs to keep working hard.
After all, most founding emperors had dozens of children.
Just as Li Qin was pondering, his eldest son, Li Ruwen, walked in, approached Li Qin, and respectfully bowed to him.
Then, as usual, he sat down next to Li Qin.
And then he took out a few pieces of paper and said:
"Father, this is the memorial I wrote, which contains my opinion on how to handle the memorial that you assigned to me."
Please let Father take a look.
After hearing Li Ruwen's words, Li Qin casually took over and said:
"So fast?"
"Isn't there still a few days left?"
Li Qin looked at the proposed solution written by Li Ruwen.
This is the homework he often assigns to his two children.
Generally, they would each be given a simple memorial to the throne and asked to provide their opinions on how to handle it.
The assignment he gave them was something he had given them casually last time.
Unlike the previous memorials, this one was a casual one concerning the Zhao Shuai Town issue in the Taihang Mountains.
He originally thought the other party would take some time to handle this issue.
Unexpectedly, Li Ruwen handed over the solution so quickly.
Li Qin frowned as he looked through Li Ruwen's proposed solutions.
Then, looking at the still young Li Ruwen beside him, he asked:
"Is this the method you wanted?"
Li Ruwen respectfully said to Li Qin:
"Yes, Father, this is what I came up with, without anyone's help."
Li Qin looked at Li Ruwen's approach with a serious expression.
He actually stated in his memorial:
"Zhao Shuaizhen's only advantage was the complex terrain of the Taihang Mountains, which made him difficult to surround and suppress."
Moreover, facing the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, they were constantly on the move and unable to effectively produce self-sufficiency.
All supplies and food came from the people on both sides of the Taihang Mountains.
His solution was to order residents on both sides of the Taihang Mountains to stay off the mountain.
At the same time, all villages near the Taihang Mountains were relocated 30 to 50 miles inland, creating a no-man's-land.
This meant that the bandit army hiding in the mountains had to descend the mountain and venture dozens of miles deep to obtain supplies.
They could easily use surrounding troops to delay the enemy and then deploy a large army to encircle and annihilate them.
"We will surely be able to completely eradicate all the rebels within the Taihang Mountains."
Li Qin felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Li Ruwen's approach to the situation.
His approach to the situation was truly ruthless.
The goal was to relocate residents along the route away from the Taihang Mountains.
They completely trapped the bandit army inside the mountains.
However, this method is somewhat useful.
However, the cost is too high. You have to know how big the Taihang Mountains are; relocating them all would be too much.
How many people will need to be relocated? Where will they be resettled after they leave?
This was not mentioned at all.
He could imagine how many families would be destroyed and lives lost once this was implemented.
Moreover, it will also impact the previously peaceful lives of ordinary people.
It's completely not worth it for those bandits in the mountains.
His suggestion, like his previous ones, is still not very mature.
However, you can also see his character. He is definitely not the same as his appearance. He is an honest, kind and generous person.
On the contrary, although his younger brother was not very quick-witted in handling these political affairs, he was much more compassionate in his methods.
After reading Li Ruwen's memorial, Li Qin did not throw it back to him directly.
Instead, he patted his head and said:
"Your method is useful, but it's too immature."
If you were a migrant, you didn't write about the expenses incurred along the way and the impact on the destination.
And what if the large number of people who have been relocated can't survive and rebel?
You must understand that this is our heartland, our main source of tax revenue.
It absolutely cannot be done haphazardly.
Go back and revise it again.
Li Qin patted Li Ruwen's head and handed him his proposed solution with a smile.
After Li Ruwen extended her small hand to take it, she respectfully said to Li Qin:
"I understand, Father. I will change when I get back."
After he finished speaking, Li Qin waved to him with a smile, signaling him to leave.
Li Ruwen bowed to Li Qin and then withdrew.
