Wei Cai immediately recommended someone, his nephew.

The other elders also mentioned a few candidates, all of whom were close relatives.

Zidai looked at them, frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. These people were too anxious. Li Xun asked him, what does it have to do with you? But here, he couldn't say anything, so he could only remain silent.

Li Xun glanced at the elders, smiled slightly, and said to Yandai: "I heard that Elder Yandai's fifth son Liu Siyuan is a talented person, smart and alert. He passed the exam in less than 20 years. He is known as a child prodigy in your Yao tribe. I wonder if this is the case?"

Li Xun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Li Xun was very clear about his family affairs.

"Adults have been awarded, and the dog is just a little better than others in his studies. It's no big deal. Passing the imperial examination is just luck, so he dare not call him a child prodigy."

He was modest in his attitude, and he said that, but he had a pride in his face that could not be concealed.

The court's policy of appeasement and win over the years and decades of peaceful life not only brought the relationship between the two sides closer, but also gave many Yao people the opportunity to start to contact the culture and knowledge of the Han people. Some of them were almost completely sinicized, with a series of connotations such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, culture and knowledge, all of which were no different from the Han people.

Liddie's son Liu Siyuan is such a person. He was sick at a young age, weak and could not practice martial arts, but he was quiet and liked to read. Liddie simply sent his son to the city and gave it to the Han people to raise him, and hired a Han master to teach him to read Han culture classics. Putting aside the Yao people's bloodline, Liu Siyuan is actually a thorough Han person.

Li Xun didn't say much, but just said indifferently: "Let's have a meal together tonight, call Liu Siyuan, and I'll talk to him."

"Yes, sir."

There was a happy look on his face. He knew what Li Xun meant. Li Xun should have wanted his son to serve as the magistrate of Shoucheng County.

Liu Siyuan is 30 years old this year. He looks white and tender. He looks pretty good, but his figure is a bit thin and looks a little sick.

Since he was five years old, Liu Siyuan walked out of the mountains and lived in Haikang County. He rarely returned to the Yao people's habitat, so whether it was inside or outside, he looked no different from the Han people.

In the evening, Li Xun held a banquet to entertain the elders of the Yao tribe. During the meal, Li Xun didn't say much, and there was no topic to talk about on both sides. However, Ji Shihai, Zhan Taishuo, and Li Taishuo and others were having a lot of chats. As a result, they were very familiar with each other and often dealt with each other on weekdays, so they naturally had common topics.

"Sir, please give me a cup of wine."

Liu Siyuan's face was flushed. He couldn't drink much and couldn't bear it anymore after drinking much, but he still stepped forward to toast Li Xun.

Li Xun pressed Liu Siyuan's wine glass and said in a low voice: "Please go out for a walk."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Liu Siyuan nodded and put down his wine glass.

The two walked out of the room one after another.

As the cold wind blew, Li Xun felt a chill and couldn't help but tighten the cloak on his body.

Liu Siyuan whispered beside him and said with concern: "Prime Minister, be careful of your health."

Li Xun looked at Liu Siyuan and looked very reserved, so he smiled and said, "Liu Siyuan, don't be so careful. Just call me a lord in private."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Siyuan nodded and said.

Li Xun said: "Liu Siyuan, how do you feel when you have been a yamen for a few years?"

Liu Siyuan passed the imperial examination at the age of nineteen, but in the following several imperial examinations, he was unable to pass the imperial examination. Three years ago, he entered the Shoucheng County Government Office and became a ninth-rank minor official. Liu Siyuan has very good abilities, is honest, fair and selfless, and is valued by the Shoucheng County Magistrate. He was just promoted last year and became the county magistrate.

Liu Siyuan said: "Sir, although Shoucheng County is very large, it is very poor. Although it is poor, it also has its benefits. The people here have very simple personalities. There are few major cases on weekdays, so it is easy to manage, but..."

Speaking of this, Liu Siyuan stopped and hesitated a little.

Li Xun said indifferently: "There are only you and me here, so don't hide it. Just say anything bluntly."

Liu Siyuan nodded and said, "It's just that the Yao people are tough by nature and have bad habits. They often cause trouble. The relationship with the Han people is a bit tense. In order to maintain local stability, the government blindly favors the Yao people, which aroused great dissatisfaction among the Han people. If the relationship continues for a long time, the grudges between the two sides will only accumulate deeper and deeper."

"What do you think?"

"We cannot blindly favor or suppress them. To this day, a considerable number of Yao people have completely integrated into the lives of the Han people. There are more Yao people who are also very yearning for the Han culture and life. If the court can relax more in some policies, the officials believe that in less than twenty years, the entire Yao people will be integrated into the big family of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, you will no longer be divided as Han people, I am Yao people, and everyone is the same nation."

Liu Siyuan talked freely, but at the end he was a little excited.

Li Xun glanced at Liu Siyuan with some appreciation. What this person said was very fair and did not lean towards either side, and what he said was very reasonable.

Li Xun patted Liu Siyuan on the shoulder and said softly: "As an official, you will benefit the people. Do your best in Shoucheng County. If you can achieve something, I will let you become the governor of Leizhou and show your greater ambitions."

"Thank you for your attention. Your servant will work hard and live up to your expectations."

Liu Siyuan said excitedly.

Li Xun stayed in Leizhou for another day, arranged everything, and then led the army to leave.

Before leaving, Ji Shihai and others saw him off.

Li Xun pulled Ji Shihai and reminded: "Let go and let Liu Siyuan do it, don't give him too much restraint."

Zhan Taishuo whispered: "Do you want the Yao people to govern themselves with yourself?"

Li Xun nodded: "Let Liu Siyuan take a look, I hope he can live up to my expectations for him and make some achievements."

Ji Shihai bowed and said, "My lord must keep the advice of the emperor in mind."

The position of governor of Leizhou has been vacant for half a year. Zhan Taishuo has been the best official rating every year in recent years, and Ji Shihai's recommendation. However, for some reason, the Ministry of Personnel has not approved it. This is not the first time. It was the same before. Li Xun was quite puzzled. After returning to Fengjing, he was ready to inquire about this matter. In his opinion, Zhan Taishuo was definitely more than enough to be governor of Leizhou.

"Goodbye."

"Take care, adults."
