He Rende was not in a hurry to answer Zhao Bing's question, but started with the root of the li chaos. After the Song Dynasty seized Qiongzhou, he implemented a ban policy to govern Lidong, but these lidongs had to pay tribute to the same as the Han people, pay taxes and receive commissions and commissions. However, local officials who received imperial edicts from the court could be exempted from taxes and corvee service. Over time, those lidongs discovered loopholes in the policy. As long as they entrust their land to the local officials, they could be exempted from taxes and evaded corvee service. Of course, they would pay appropriate tribute to local officials.

Local officials were willing to accept such things that they could control their subordinates and end up with affordable benefits. The way they adopted was to make their Lidong, who was willing to rely on themselves, and to escape the responsibility of the state and grain labor. So they bribed the prefectures and county officials to work together, conceal the world and tamper with the plan, thus achieving their goal.

However, these local officials and prefecture-county officials did not stop there. They turned their fingers to some weak or dissatisfied with the government, and transferred their escaped food to these people, and they took on the taxes and service. For those local officials who still refused to surrender, they would "report" to the court, and the government used this to urge the government to collect taxes and taxes. They cooperated so hard that some lidong had to rely on local officials, but some lidong could not bear the oppression and revolt, causing lidong chaos.

After the continuous wars with the Jin and Meng, the Song Dynasty had no time to take care of Qiongzhou. However, the prefectures and counties could not get the support of the official army and could only rely on the local officials' soldiers to maintain the local area, which made them gradually grow up. They often collected taxes from various lidongs in the name of the government, but kept it for their own use and no longer paid to the court. In this way, the transfer of contradictions made the relationship between the government and the li people even more tense, but the prefectures and counties were in a small way and had no choice but to those local officials.

However, no one is a fool. In the past, the government of Lidong, who had relied on local officials, did not dare to provoke Li people at all, and felt that they were at a disadvantage. They obviously did not have to pay taxes with their own strength, so they had to pay tribute to those local officials. Therefore, they broke away from the local officials they had once relied on to establish their own business. But the local officials were used to eating, so how could they give up? They said that the land was their own, and why did you take it for free? They sent out the Dong soldiers to expel them in the name of the government, so conflicts between the two sides were inevitable.

The same is true for the li chaos in Jiyang Army. Li chief Fu Riping was originally dependent on local official Ma Yu, but later wanted to break away from his control, causing conflict between the two sides. The Fu Riping tribe was small and few people, so he was no match for Ma Yu at all. In order to survive, he turned to Fu Xiong, a local official with a greater power, for help, which escalated the conflict between the two Lidongs into tribal conflicts. The intervention of the government led to more Lidongs being brought in, which led to the so-called lidongs.

He Rende was no longer surprised by this. He just followed the strategy formulated by His Majesty - not allowed prefectures and counties to recruit labor and intervene in the Lidong dispute, and wanted to wait until both of them were defeated before making profits. After hearing this, Xiufu sent troops to fight for the expedition. On the surface, he just wanted to quickly calm the chaos. In the deeper sense, he was dissatisfied with the young emperor's policy towards Lidong and tried to correct it.

However, Xifu did not dare to point fingers at the little emperor, so he could only attribute the responsibility to He Rende, saying that he "divided the land people of my ancestors, and ignored the people, and helped his private affairs." This was actually a great act of traitor and evil. If Zhao Bing had not obtained the news in time and issued an order to stop his further actions, He Rende might have been dismissed from office and imprisoned. Even so, it still caused an uproar in the middle of the court, leading to an opposition between the local and the central government...

"I didn't expect that the seemingly small storm was hidden in it!" Zhao Bing touched his chin after hearing the whole story. He realized that the evolution of things had deep historical reasons, and from the perspective of modern materialism, this slander seemed accidental, but it was inevitable. The intervention of the court only played a catalytic role.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. Now that the court has arrived, a large number of Han migrants have immigrated to the island, causing panic among the local officials and the people of Lidong. They are worried that the court will occupy their land and collect heavy taxes, so whenever there is a turmoil, they will be like a frightened bird." Jiang Ke nodded and said.

"Well, what the prefect Jiang said is reasonable. The conflict between the slang and Han has lasted for hundreds of years. The hatred has become deep. They distrust each other and overreact is reasonable." Zhao Bing agreed. He knew that with the migration of the court, the large-scale immigration of the Han people changed not only the comparison of population, but also the competition for limited resources and land, which threatened the status and interests of local officials. When he saw that the court wanted to interfere in their inter-clan affairs, he took it for granted that he would attack them, and the common interests and ideas forced them to temporarily put aside their personal grudges.

"Your Majesty's words, I also think that this slander is a breach of trust in the court, and some people instigated it to cause chaos." He Rende looked at the little emperor in surprise. He had already heard that His Majesty was very smart, but he did not expect that he could actually hear the key to the problem from his few words, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty is wise. If you follow Your Majesty's plan, you can slowly plan to separate and disintegrate the various lies. It takes less than a few years for the lie people to surrender to the court. Alas..." Jiang Ke also stood up and said, but at the end he shook his head and sighed.

"Two my dear friends, sit down! The importance of the moment is not to hold some people accountable, but how to quickly calm down the chaos to prevent the loss of the big picture." Zhao Bing pressed his hand again to let them sit down. At this moment, he understood the mood of the two very well, and planned to be a mess by those who were unknown. To be honest, he was also very annoyed. But the matter was already aroused, and being angry could not solve any problem.

"I am presumptuous, don't know if you have something to say or not?" After the two of them sat down, they looked at each other and asked, Jiang Keting.

"I have something to say. Although I am young but unreasonable, I will never blame you even if it is the truth!" Zhao Bing kept paying attention to the expressions of the two. From their small actions, they could see that they had expected that they would ask them about the slang. They had discussed it in advance, at least they had communicated on the way to the palace. Both of them had both lost people who had experienced official struggles, so they naturally had to be more cautious in speaking, so they wanted to be at ease first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Ke pondered for a moment and bowed, "I wonder if Your Majesty wants to solve the chaos in one fell swoop through this matter, or will he still follow the previous meaning?"

"Oh, is there any difference?" Zhao Bing smiled and looked at the two of them and said. Since he was asking for advice from both of them, of course he had to listen carefully before making a decision...
