Chapter 319
Of course Ning Zhixing knows.
He was a prince, he had the best education and read many books.
Looking at history, the collapse of all dynasties was almost always due to the harsh government of the imperial court, which made it difficult for the people to survive.
Even the beginning of the founding of the Ningguo State today is no exception.
It's just that now Ningguo has been in the country for 300 years, and it seems that it has also entered that reincarnation.
If you want to get rid of those malpractices, how many people will be involved?
If you really cut these people with a knife, not to mention how fierce their strong counterattack will be, even if you really sit in that position, you will become a real loner.
So even if it is the emperor, there are some things that have to turn a blind eye, and even take a step back to take the overall situation.
This kind of thing can only be done slowly, at the expense of the interests of some officials, but also so that those people can have a bite to eat.
"The way to govern the country, this king knows better than you!"
Li Chenan shook his head: "No!
He suddenly looked up at the blue sky, "I found that I was wrong from the beginning!"
Ning Zhixing was stunned: "You are indeed wrong, you shouldn't come to Kyoto!"
"You're wrong again, I mean, what I thought was going with the flow was a mistake!"
"I live in this world after all, and if this world collapses, it will be difficult for me to be alone. β
"And if I had created great wealth, I would be the lamb to the slaughter!"
"Because everything I have can be easily taken away by those in power, such as a decree of the emperor, or even a private army sent by your second prince. I can only watch as all I do is make wedding clothes for you. β
Ning Zhixing's eyes narrowed, "That's what you're worried about?"
"If this king ascends the throne as the emperor and is rich in the world, why do you need to peek at your little wealth?"
Li Chenan laughed, "If the treasury is as empty as it is now for a long time...... There is only one poor word left in your world. β
"Once a person is poor, his eyes will really shine when he sees silver, not only ordinary people, even if it is your second prince, it will be the same when the time comes!"
"Like the present. β
"Last year, the autumn grain in Jiangnan was robbed, and Ji Tai increased the national tax by two percent, this is the plundering of Chiguoguo!"
"Ji Tai has been prime minister for nearly twenty years, and Ningguo's taxes have tripled!"
"What else will you do besides exploiting the heads of the common people?"
"What are the consequences of this?"
He pointed to the wasteland again:
"Like, why is this fertile land abandoned?"
"What does the field mean to the peasants? It used to be their lifeblood! But now...... They don't even want this life. β
"It is conceivable that in the entire Ning Kingdom, in a wasteland like this, how many people have left their homes here?"
"When those in power enjoy the glittering life every day, when the whole country is free of human fireworks...... Your Highness, water can carry a boat and capsize a boat...... Although Ning Ren has a tough personality, even a rabbit that is in a hurry can bite!"
"You, maybe sink into the people, go for a walk and have a look, to understand what Ningguo is like now?"
Without waiting for Ning Zhixing to answer, Li Chenan raised his eyebrows, "You can't!"
"Because you are the prince and His Royal Highness the Prince, you may be able to ascend the throne as the emperor in the future. You still don't look at the people of the world, you still think that they are the sheep you raise, and they should be ......like this."
"So in the past three days, I have thought a lot and reflected on myself. I admit that I am a person who likes silver, but I finally found that I still have a trace of the bottom line of being a man in my heart, and some silver cannot be earned!"
"And I am a little different from these peasants who are still able to go against the grain, and the wealth I have is ...... I will never let anyone else take it. β
"You can understand that my life is up to me!"
"Therefore, the Supervision Department will cooperate with the Imperial City Department to investigate to the end,"
Li Chen'an kept his waist and looked at the second prince with a righteous face, "I don't care who I find out in the end, as long as I am still the deputy of the Imperial City Division...... If the law can't be held responsible, you believe me, the ghosts of the Imperial City Division will also ask for their lives!"
"There is no escape!"
"It's not that I, Li Chen'an, retaliate, but for this Cangsheng Sheji!"
"It is to suck the bone marrow of the people and scrape the maggots of the people's fat and ointment...... Kill them all!"
Ning Zhixing's heart was shocked, he took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Li Chen'an.
He has understood Li Chenan's words, and he also understands Li Chenan's attitude.
He did not deny Li Chenan's views, because he agreed with some views, but he could not do them as radically as Li Chenan.
As the emperor in charge of imperial power, he needs those officials in the temple to obey him, because the sheep who govern the world need these dogs.
Dogs have to be well raised to be obedient, so they have to be given a bone once in a while.
But Li Chenan wants to kill the dog......
"When the water is clear, there are no fish!"
Li Chen'an raised his eyebrows: "If the water is mixed, it is only conducive to fishing in troubled waters!"
"So you've already made a decision?"
"Yes!"
"You will be the enemy of everyone!"
"So what?"
Ning Zhixing sighed for three breaths, "I now believe that you are really a literati. β
"You have no idea how hard it is to swim against the current!"
"I admit that your ideals are very high, but do you know what will happen to a person with ideals like you in the three hundred years of Ningguo?"
"All of them were drowned by the tide, even if it was Prime Minister Shang a hundred years ago, he killed many people, but that was based on the fact that he won over many people at the same time!"
He did save Ning Guo, but at the same time, Ning Guo had another Jiangnan Shang clan...... You go to the Imperial City Division to find out why the Jiangnan Shang clan has become another big family in Ningguo!"
"Because, those are the promises that have been made, and they are also the benefits that should be obtained by the group of people who are attached to the prime minister!"
He turned around, took two steps, turned around, and said indignantly: "Actually, you really should go to Tai Academy to be a doctor, how good is that!"
"For the sake of this common people...... If you are going to teach and educate people for the sake of this common people, you may be able to teach a few useful ministers!"
"You don't know how high the sky is!"
"This king, I am very disappointed in you!"
Li Chenan also looked at Ning Zhixing, and raised his eyebrows: "What, then the business won't be done?"
Ning Zhixing walked forward, "The road is different, and it is not conspiratory...... You've killed all the people, so what's the use of doing business?"
"Then Your Highness go slowly!"
"You...... You!"
Ning Zhixing turned around again and shook his head: "Fang Weijunjie, who knows the times, no wonder your ex-fiancΓ©e will take back the marriage letter, she did the right thing!"
Li Chenan just smiled, because in the past three days, he had indeed thought through many questions.
For example, this is a society where the rules of the game have not yet been established, or those rules are only useful to the people, and to those in power, they can be trampled on at will!
For example, this is a society that talks about fists and unreasonableness, and where is this so complicated today?
After all, it falls on the strength you have.
After all, you have to get rid of the shackles of the rules of the past life, and you can't be affected by too many ideas about the past life.
In such a world, men should be more ruthless to others!
His eyes grew cold, and he took the horsetail grass in his mouth.
After all, this world is not what you want it to be, so ...... Smash it!
Rebuild it again!
Since then, Li Chenan's mentality has completed a huge transformation in the past six months.
He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, no need to look ahead, and no longer need to make more superficial statements.
Born in troubled times, it depends on whose knife is sharper!
Business is to be done, in order to reconstruct Ningguo's business model.
But now...... The knife in your hand is the most important thing!
In the sight of Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan, they suddenly felt that the back of the person standing in front of them suddenly straightened up.
It's also a little sharper.
At this moment, there was a noisy voice on the official road on the side.
The three of them turned their heads to look over.
It was a group of caravans.
There was a donkey beside the caravan.
A black donkey.
The black donkey, carrying a man wearing a hat, was lazily swaying slowly.
