Chapter 26: All People Are Selfish

In the three days after his return, Li Shen basically spent the meeting to discuss the thorough reform of officials, and put an end to the fact that one side of the government became the overlord of the other side and did things that harmed the people. In particular, the children of officials' families have been forcibly restrained, and some of them are good officials, but they are really unsatisfactory in terms of educating their children.

The three-day meeting was devoted to discussing these matters, formulating some detailed laws on the strength of the law, and deepening the punishment for those who violated the law by officials.

"That's all for today, and I hope that in the next few days, these relevant laws for officials will be thoroughly and detailed and issued to officials everywhere." Li Shen said lightly, facing Ma Zhou, and said: "The matter of Ma Xiang's establishment of a clean government department is urgent, and it is urgent to inform all the officials of the empire and report their mistakes to me, so as not to blame me politely." It is also to give them the only chance to exonerate them from the death penalty. ”

Ma Zhou nodded, stretched out his hand to put the documents on the table together, and said, "The minister will handle it." ”

Li Shen nodded, stretched out his hand and waved, facing everyone, and said, "Disperse!" ”

After three days, the Datang newspaper industry has already changed from last year to the Huaxia Imperial newspaper, and in the early morning the streets and alleys of Chang'an City began to appear attributes, and children selling newspapers shuttled through the streets and alleys, holding newspapers in their hands and selling them along the streets.

The people of Chang'an City are accustomed to all kinds of surprises, but for the content published in today's newspapers, they are surprised more than usual, restricting what officials can do, but they can be surprised at any time to report anonymously, and after verification, they will be dealt with in accordance with the law, but I also hope that the people will not blindly report, which is a complete waste of the resources of the imperial court.

Some say good, but some say bad, deep-rooted ideas still deeply affect the people, and now the court implements a free system of teaching, everyone hopes that their children can be officials in the court in the future.

What to do for officials? In the minds of the people, it is not for their own family to live a better life, but with the wealth of the imperial court, it is simply wishful thinking to want to live a rich and noble life.

Therefore, people are selfish, and everyone is the same, once their own interests are involved, no one is willing to let go easily, which is also the abusive nature of people, but they have never thought about the feelings of the children of the official families who oppressed them at the beginning. 、

In the international hotel in Dongshi, Li Shen shook a glass of wine in his hand slightly, listening to the people who were talking below, he sighed completely speechless in his heart, he didn't expect such a result, it really made him feel too surprised.

Wu Meiniang pushed open the door of the room with a smile, walked in with a plate of fruit in her hand, looked at Li Shen who was a little helpless in her eyes, put the fruit plate on the table next to her, and said, "Do you need this?" ”

"What do you say?"

"It's just ignorance, if you care about these things with them, it's not worth it to be angry."

"I just don't understand, why do these people think like that? Are they willing to be bullied by these officials, gentlemen, and wealthy families, causing bloody lessons? You said that their ancestors have been **** for generations, and now that I am doing this, they feel inappropriate, I really don't know what to say. Li Shen said helplessly.

Wu Meiniang smiled, sat down for a while, reached out and took down the wine glass in Li Shen's hand, and said, "What kind of wine do you drink in the morning?" He continued: "It's not that the court's forgiveness for them has caused their hearts to swell, and the free education system makes it possible for these children's children to enter the court as officials in the future......"

"That's it?"

"Or what do you think you do?"

Li Shen sighed in a low voice, I really don't know what to say, if everyone has such an attitude, Huaxia will be completely finished.

"Don't be like this, today's people's thinking has not completely changed, for the children can go to school for free now, in the future, they will definitely expect the children to be able to enter the court as officials, glorify their ancestors, and have a superior identity, and when the children grow up, this situation will change. Fortunately, the situation today is different from that back then, and there are you in charge of the DPRK, and no one dares to put forward opposing opinions, so it can be effectively implemented, regardless of the people's reactions. ”

Li Shen nodded, but he still hoped that the people could support him, he originally thought that if he did this, he would definitely win the support of the people, but he didn't expect that now it would become the opposite effect, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"By the way, there are some other things to tell you, and I have forgotten all the things that have accumulated when I come back for a few days." Wu Meiniang said.

"What?"

"Is it the disposal of Hou Junji's family?"

"Haven't you already disposed of it? What's the point of saying that now? Li Shen said angrily, he was a little depressed when he mentioned this matter, such a big thing was hidden from him, and he didn't even know the slightest bit of news.

"Still angry? Do you need to be angry like this? The concubine body is not for your good, saving you a headache for these things. Wu Meiniang said with a flattering smile, and continued: "Those involved in this matter include Pepe's eldest brother, these people have been executed, but according to the law of the court, their families should be sent to live in the frontier and confiscate all their property, but because of Pepe, this matter is really difficult to deal with." In addition, there is also the problem of Li Yuanqing's family, and these things are not easy to deal with. ”

Li Shen frowned, indeed, if you don't deal with Peipei's family, when the time comes, dealing with Li Yuanqing's family will definitely cause discussion among the people, and even the Li family's clansmen will not be very easy to explain at that time, so he reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose twice, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, send Li Yuanqing's family to Taiyuan, and let the people of the clan arrange it, Pepe's family... Let's let them stay in Chang'an City, this family of orphans and widows, if they are released, Pepe will not have to worry all day long. ”

Wu Meiniang said "um", still a little unhappy in her eyes.

Li Shen looked at Wu Meiniang, smiled, and said: "Okay, I know that you are fair, but there are some things, especially this kind of family matter, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you can't hide from Pepe in the future!" You also know what this girl's personality looks like, she looks alive, but she is actually wronged in her heart, and she likes to pretend that she doesn't care. ”
