Chapter 1157: Ambition
Li Zhongyi walked into the ruins of Chen Liucang, in the blackened warehouse yard that had been burned with black paint, the remaining smoke curled, the ruins and broken walls were everywhere, and the ground was full of black and gray water marks.
The leather boots under Li Zhongyi's feet dripped into the black puddle one foot deep and one foot shallow, Li Yanqing watched dryly, but he didn't dare to persuade him.
How to say it, Li Zhongyi is a person who pays great attention to the rules, and he doesn't like to be punished without teaching, but attaches great importance to the rules of the game.
Li Zhongyi has always been gentle on weekdays, even if he was scolded by Wenchen in front of him, or was given an ugly new nickname by a good Shilin person, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
The literati who gave Li Zhongyi the nickname "Copper Stink" has no so far, which shows that Li Zhongyi treats that person as a little ant at all, and completely disdains to rectify it.
The robes in the Li family's army, with the continuous advancement of reading and literacy, everyone also knows the truth about the tyrannical Qin.
There are two main reasons why Tyrannical Qin is called tyranny, one is that the law is strict, and the other is that the forced labor is heavy.
In private, everyone also has some discussions, and it is generally believed that Li Zhongyi's emphasis on the law can almost be equated with the Legalists of the violent Qin.
However, under Li Zhongyi's rule, as long as the people do not defy the law, they can live and work in peace and contentment. Except for public welfare work such as building bridges and paving roads, it was almost impossible for Li Zhongyi to allow local officials to unscrupulously levy forced labor.
Especially the cross-county conscription, which is listed as an absolute forbidden area by Li Zhongyi, whoever dares to cross the thunder pool by half a step will be punished by heaven!
The huge Chen Liucang, with hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, turned into ruins overnight under the greed of the dog official, and it was not enough to kill the people!
The more Li Zhongyi looked at it, the more he felt that he was too merciful to the corrupt officials, and it was not until this moment that he really realized why Zhu Chongba had to put his own son-in-law, skinned and filled with grass, to show the public at the yamen!
"Li Yanqing, tell me, what is the crime of daring to touch Lao Tzu's roots?" Li Zhongyi suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked Li Yanqing.
Li Yanqing narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and made a chopping motion, and said coldly: "A thousand cuts are not enough to make up for the monstrous man-made disaster, and the entire family property should be confiscated, and all the wives and daughters will be relegated to the sect to atone for their crimes, and the children and grandchildren will be castrated." ”
Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Okay, those who dare to touch the grain fundamentals will be handled according to this in the future!" ”
"Whoa." Li Yanqing originally thought that Li Zhongyi would not make such a spicy hand, but unexpectedly, Li Zhongyi actually accepted his suggestion in its entirety.
"It's not enough, a thousand cuts, plus peeling and filling the grass to show the public." Li Zhongyi's ruthlessness increased, making his hands as poisonous as Li Yanqing, and his cold hair stood on end, and his liver trembled.
This is obviously hateful, so he will make such a ruthless move!
Li Yanqing is not a guy with overflowing sympathy, for the mongrels who dare to move the granary, they deserve to be unlucky!
As a very down-to-earth ruler, Li Zhongyi deeply understands a truth, today's poor peasants, not only can not eat white rice, but even the pickled radish strips that accompany the meal are rare and delicious.
What does this mean? It must be too deep!
Corrupt officials and officials rely on the monopoly of information to unscrupulously get up and down, and every time the court has a good government, they can deliberately read the good scriptures crookedly, under the guise of the court, but what they do is an ugly thing that harms the public and private interests!
If it was corruption of a general nature, Li Zhongyi could bear it for the time being, but the rats actually dared to put their dirty hands into the vital granary.
If there were a nationwide famine, wouldn't that cause chaos in the world?
Therefore, Li Zhongyi doesn't care whether there are rules and laws, and he uses heavy codes in troubled times, which is right!
"Master, aren't you afraid that those civil servants will chew their tongues indiscriminately......" Li Yanqing didn't dare to talk nonsense, but Li Cuixuan didn't have this kind of taboo, she boldly reminded Li Zhongyi to beware of the serious consequences.
"Afraid of Wenchen? Hehe, the country was brought down by you and me, not by your man. Li Zhongyi's gaze swept over the ruins of Chen Liucang, which had been artificially destroyed, and said coldly, "My patience and tolerance are limited. In a word, whoever dares to touch Lao Tzu's life-saving food, Lao Tzu dares to make his whole clan worse than death. ”
"Master, there are too many corrupt officials in this world. Don't you often say that if you kill one after another, there will definitely be someone who slips through the net? "Li Cuixuan's memory is simply amazing, even the jokes that Li Zhongyi made casually a long time ago, she remembers them clearly and completely.
Li Zhongyi's chest was full of anger, but he was amused by Li Cuixuan's words, and the original boundless indignation was slightly reduced.
"Li Yanqing, we must investigate this case to the bottom of the matter, so that the ugly faces of the dog officials will be completely exposed to the world." Li Zhongyi smiled on his back, and his smile was extremely weird, "Even if the literati doctors in the whole world are enemies of me, we must take the most violent measures to rectify these silverfish." ”
After Li Yanqing heard this, his spirit suddenly lifted, although he used to be a member of the system of supervising the army, he was also a member of the Li family's army.
Wang Dahei's protector killed himself, and from Li Yanqing's standpoint, he naturally felt the same way, and he and the Wenchen Group had become fire and water, and it was difficult to be compatible.
In fact, not only Li Yanqing, but all the robes of the entire Li family army were quite resentful of Wang Dahei's indirect death from the Wenchen group's step-by-step approach, and it was natural for them to share the same enemy!
The civil and military hated each other, and the pressure on Li Zhongyi's shoulders was naturally impossible to be small.
The way of civil and military affairs lies in balance, and it is not too biased to one side. If the scholars and doctors were allowed to take power, the tragedy of the two Song Dynasty Dynasty emphasizing literature over military force would surely develop along the inherent historical trajectory.
If, if the martial arts group is allowed to gain power, the Qin Dynasty is too expanded externally and too condensed internally, and eventually leads to a rapid demise, in fact, Yin Jian is not far away!
However, as the founder of the empire, if Li Zhongyi did not set the rules of punishment from the beginning, then who of his descendants would have the prestige and strength to wrestle with the entire bureaucratic clique?
"Do you remember the story of Zhu Chongba that I told you? I now understand more and more that Zhu Chongba's ruthlessness is actually the despair and helplessness of being forced. Li Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, "In the history, it is always said that killing is a benevolent, I was still a little hesitant, but now I have completely figured it out, and I must do the most resolute struggle against bad people and bad things!" ”
"Master, slave remember that you once said that if there is no long-term distribution mechanism, the rich will always be rich, and the poor will be poorer. If I am not mistaken, you also said that the government can not only create wealth, but also do its best to distribute wealth more rationally. Otherwise, the law of the cycle of chaos will work. Li Cuixuan's retelling completely hit Li Zhongyi's heart.
For the heavens, the fields are free of grain, similar slogans have been shouted for thousands of years, but they have always been mirrors!
The lustful Li Zhongyi, although the reality is terrifying, he still has lofty ambitions in his chest! ()
