666 Bureaucracy

Hatred is easy to be instigated, Xiao Letian has always been in a state of high guard against the entire bureaucracy of the Qing Dynasty, he knows too well what kind of officials are that group of officials who are linked together, and there is no bottom limit to what they do for the sake of profit.

Corruption and bribery, and cunning and robbery are all considered good officials, and serious ones will collude and frame, destroy their families, and their eyes will fall into the pile of white flowers, but they will never be able to fish out again.

In fact, the exploitation of the people by the bureaucracy is far more severe than that of the imperial power, because the bureaucracy's desire to realize power is far greater than that of the emperor.

Xiao Letian knows that many people are not convinced of this truth, and they will cite a lot of crazy actions of the king of the dead country, and Emperor Yang of Sui and the like are examples that often appear in their mouths.

But in the history of emperors for thousands of years, are all emperors like this? When public opinion is controlled by Confucianism, when the propaganda power of the low-level people is coerced by the bureaucracy, who should those illiterate people believe?

Is it the emperor who is high above and far away, or is it a talented man who is close to the same village and township? The answer is obvious.

"Master, I understand what you mean, do you want to say that the imperial power has been coerced by the bureaucrats and has become a shield for them to do bad things?"

The day's speech was a great success, and Xiao Letian's rebellious words to the bureaucracy made Lin Yuanmiao faint suddenly, he knew that this hat was too big, and the Lin family would probably always become the target of public criticism.

Bureaucratic wreckage industry and commerce even hindered the development of industrialization, this big sin Xiao Letian is buckled on their bodies, and the crime of corruption has escalated to the ideological battle, and the Lin family is Confucian ministers are too clear about this article.

The prime minister didn't kill himself, but he charged himself with a crime that was difficult to wash away for thousands of years, and the Lin family had no future from now on.

It's better to die, after Lin Yuanmiao was carried home, the first thing he said when he woke up was this, he dragged Lin Zhen and wept bitterly, "Son, I hurt you for my father......!" From now on, you will give up the civil service, and go to the military profession carefully and low-key, and only there can you make contributions......"

"The prime minister is not a person who holds grudges, he was even able to tolerate the rioting Japanese back then, and he didn't slaughter the city to retaliate, let alone you, as long as you make a contribution, the prime minister will still reward you......"

"Remember, always remember, our Lin family has no chance with the civil official......" After speaking, Lin Yuanmiao's eyes darkened and he fainted on the bed.

Lin Yuanmiao's illness was a year, and then passed away quietly, while Lin Zhen obeyed his father's orders to make low-key contributions in the army, and spent a lot of time performing overseas missions.

Today's lecture by Xiao Letian was printed by students from 10 universities in the Ryukyus and began to be widely distributed, and a great ideological introspection of the bureaucracy began.

The fanatical students seem to have felt the clues of where the troubled times came from, and various ancient historical materials began to have different interpretations. What is even more gratifying is that this kind of action of the students has been fully funded by the entire Ryukyu business district, asking for money, money, and things, and for thousands of years, the prime minister is the only one who has said good things to the businessmen, how can they not be grateful.

King Shangtai and Emperor Tongzhi couldn't let go of this excellent opportunity to learn, and came to pester Xiao Lotian early after dinner.

It's never a fault to be studious, Xiao Letian stroked the top of Zaichun's head, "You have finally opened your mind, I am very relieved that you can think of this...... Yes, this truth is actually very simple, and there is a sentence that can describe it......"

"Those who have constant birth have perseverance, you should have heard of it!"

"Well, I'll give you a simple example, the two mountain forests are lush and full of straight trees, and these timbers are in high demand in the market...... One of the mountains and forests has belonged to the Wang family for generations, and it has been passed down from father to son for eternity......"

"And the other mountain forest belongs to the government and has been put under the Li family's wallet for ten years, so the question is, what will be the result of these two mountains and forests in ten years?"

Emperor Tongzhi's eyes blinked, and he suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "I know, in ten years, the Li family's mountains and forests will definitely be cut down, all the timber will be sold out, and the Wang family's mountains and forests must still be lush and ......."

"Good boy, that's right, what about your answer, King Chantai?"

King Shangtai's reaction was still half a beat slower than that of Zaichun, but at this time, he also figured out that "the Li family only has ten years to make money, so he wants to turn all the wood into money within ten years, and the Wang family will not, they have to consider whether their sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren will have food, so they will cut down a tree and plant two trees, and their family will find a way to make this mountain forest continue to produce benefits for thousands of years......"

"That's right! That's the core of all the problems, what are the bureaucrats? They are all scholars who have come out of the common people, and after more than ten or twenty years of officials, they will return to the common people...... The rights are very short-lived for them, and of course they have to cash out the rights......"

"And the emperor is different, unless he is a fool, as long as the emperor has a normal person's thinking, he will take into account the jobs of his sons and great-grandsons, so they don't dare to squeeze the people excessively. If you think about it, when the Ming Dynasty fell, there were only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury of the Chenghu Department in Beijing, and there was not much floating wealth in the imperial palace......"

"But as soon as Li Zicheng was tortured, he copied out sixty or seventy million taels of wealth from the hands of powerful ministers, do you think about the truth in this?"

"There is also the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, a holy decree that will never be given, on the surface the officials shouted long live, but they had already scolded the emperor to death in their hearts...... There is also Yongzhengye's gentry who accept grain in one piece, which offends all the landlord class, so there are so many legendary stories of Yongzheng arranged among the people......"

Zai Chun's fists were clenched, his eyes were red, and his chest rose and fell violently, "Liars, those people are liars, it's so good to act in front of me! damn it......"

Xiao Letian shook his head and sighed: "You can't be angry, you must understand a truth, where does the bureaucracy come from? How did the bureaucratic ideology originate? If you can't understand this truth, you can rest and defeat them......

"Ask the master for advice!" An emperor and a king actually knelt on the ground at this moment to bow to Xiao Letian, this is knowledge that no one has ever taught them, and the kings of the past have relied on their own understanding and cannot pass it on.

Xiao Lotian calmly accepted the emperor's kneeling, and he knew that this knowledge was worth this kneeling.

"Get up, since you have the desire to learn, I will naturally not hide my secrets...... I can tell you now that the bureaucracy comes from the people and will eventually return to the people, and that every kind of thought has its source, and that the ideas and values that a natural person follows in his mind all his life from croaking to old age and dying are instilled by the environment......"

"There is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, everything is inferior, only reading is high...... These poems and proverbs can even be recited by an old peasant who does not know big characters, and almost the entire childhood of Chinese is brainwashed by this kind of thinking!"

"Don't underestimate the songs by the cradle, let alone the stories told by grandpa holding his grandson, and don't ignore the titles of the gold charts sung on countless stages and the dramas that return to their hometowns...... These are all brainwashing for every natural person!"

"The idea of the official standard has been instilled in the cradle, if you want Yan Ruyu and want the golden house, if you want to be a master, what do you rely on? Isn't it still studying to become an official? But when he really becomes an official, the reality will make him speechless......

"Is it higher than the old farmers and craftsmen, but no matter how high it is, it is not as high as the golden house of Yan Ruyu in the left hand and the golden house in the right hand...... The huge psychological gap makes these officials very uncomfortable!"

"What's more, the truth that a person has attained the Tao and the ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven is also respected by the people of the country, and if you become an official, the seven aunts and eight aunts will not be taken care of by the villagers? When your uncle who loved you the most came to beg you to open the back door, would you not open it? When you were the poorest, you didn't help the neighbors who sent you two silver to help the emergency?"

"Look, this is how many corrupt officials are dragged into the water, and everyone's behavior is actually influenced by their own values, that is, the bureaucratic ideology of thousands of years......"

"It has the right not to use it, and it will be invalid when it expires. Who wants to be a fool? So they want to monetize their rights, and they want to cut down all the timber in the mountains and forests......"

"Of course, there will naturally be some clean officials in all dynasties, and it is of course normal for there to be so many alternatives in a population of hundreds of millions, but they can't change the general trend, the bureaucracy is an incomparably huge monster, and it can't be solved by one or two cell improvements......

Xiao Letian's fingers lightly tapped the coffee table, his eyes were a little floating, and he said faintly, "Sometimes the emperor's will is good, but the officials below always want to sing this scripture crookedly, why is this? It's not the emperor's will that harms their interests......

"Not only that, don't forget, officials only serve in one place for a few years, but the rise and fall of the dynasty takes two or three hundred years, at the beginning, the people encounter unfairness, and they will scold corrupt officials, but this group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials rotates too quickly, and it is difficult for the people's hard life to concentrate the responsibility on one person......"

"As time goes by, generation after generation, the resentment and anger accumulated by the people will be forced to the imperial power...... For all the disgruntled people need an outlet for ......"

Xiao Letian is as faint as a ghost: "The bureaucracy has existed for thousands of years, and they have a way to divert the anger of the people, and the old loach who can't spare his hands is talking about them...... Ten years, fifty years, and a hundred years, gradually the people began to scold the emperor, and they began to scold the court......"

"What's next? It was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that swept through half of the country! It was the Twist Army that swept across the Central Plains and killed corpses all over the field! Once the resentment that had been accumulated for hundreds of years broke out, it would be a change of dynasty......

There was a sudden silence in the study, and it took a long time before Zaichun opened his mouth and asked, "Is this a reason for the change of dynasty? Didn't the master talk about the factors of land annexation and backward productive forces before? What does this have to do with the bureaucrats?"
