To shatter an old world is to create a new one.

Li Yu and Pan Chengyou are both officials, and it is not difficult to deal with the case, but the difficult thing is where the parliament will go?

It's only been established for three years, and it's rotten to this extent, it's all over the place, it's unscrupulous, and according to many people's ideas, it's just scrapped.

Just abolish the parliament, what will be used to fill the vacancy?

Revert to the old system? Or do you want to get a new one?

"The old system is not reliable, and the new system may not work, and the parliament must be put in order! Let the parliament truly represent the will of the people! Pan Chengyou showed his opinion.

Li Yu did not object, but he did not approve of it.

"Ordinary people often say, words are easy to say, things are difficult to do! When Hou Ye first designed the parliament, agriculture, industry, commerce, the military, and scholars all had quotas, and the number was not low, so why did those parliamentary representatives have no voice, and just a few rich businessmen did whatever they wanted? ”

Pan Chengyou smiled, isn't this knowingly asking?

The parliament is a river and lake, and in the rivers and lakes, it is natural to divide into three, six, nine and so on.

As a member of the parliament, an old peasant with no name or surname, how loud can he make a sound? And who wants to listen to him? Among the parliaments at all levels, in addition to the military representatives who are huddled together, it is the wealthy businessmen who can encircle the newspaper and create a big reputation for themselves, so as to become well-known representatives, and then monopolize the position in the parliament.

A council is also divided into different groups, including the general foreman, the finance and taxation group, the education, and the transportation......

According to statistics, more than half of the parliamentary foremen and group leaders are controlled by wealthy businessmen.

"The peasants and workers have no right to speak, and these people are really mixed and have no good advice. The military is a department of its own, only caring about its own affairs, and will not meddle in people's livelihood issues...... Alas! ”

Li Yu was so angry that he slapped the table!

"Master Hou, I still say the same thing, what I regret the most in my life is that I have read so many books and got mixed with the literati! Lose face! What a shame! ”

When scholars were brought into the council, they wanted to rely on the expertise of these people to make objective and reasonable suggestions to truly solve the problems they faced.

But the result?

Take the Jiangnan Council as an example, the people who generally come in are "clear streams", trolls!

Li Yu mentioned a person, who constantly published articles in the newspaper, spoke for the peasants, complained for the countryside, and was like the spokesman of the peasants, but when he was invited into the parliament, he changed his face!

He even objected to the purchase of grain at protective prices.

This one has his own reasons...... If the minimum price is set, the imperial court will be responsible for the bottom line, which is equivalent to taking the money from the treasury to fill the peasants, which is very unfair.

Moreover, when the peasants harvest the grain, they do not need to sell it in a hurry, and they will save it until the spring of the next year, which will naturally rise, and they can get more income...... This one even brought out a large set of rhetoric, what supply and demand, what market regulation, that is called an impassioned and reasonable!

But this one forgot, after the harvest, he has to pay taxes on the grain! The common people want to stay until the time of the green and yellow, but the question is do they have the money to pay taxes? Is there a warehouse for storing grain?

Nothing, nothing more will work!

"It is clear that in the parliament, the literati did not play a role, on the contrary, they were bought by the merchants and became the accomplices of the merchants!"

Li Yu gritted his teeth and said, in the officialdom, he is used to seeing the shamelessness of civil officials, and to his surprise, the literati who enter the parliament with all kinds of good names are even more unbearable!

Businessmen have money, literati have mouths, money can control mouths, let the mouth say whatever it is!

No matter how much power is divided, if you don't take the gold power into account, it's! The countertop is full of puppets, and it's the money that really matters!

Ye Hua wasn't unaware of the Council's shortcomings, but he didn't expect the Council to degenerate so quickly...... In other words, from the very beginning of its design, the council was destined to hide dirt and dirt!

"Master Hou, if you want to get the literati free from the control of the rich merchants, there is also a way!" Pan Chengyou said thoughtfully.

Ye Hua noticed his hesitation and asked rhetorically, "Is it the one with a high salary?" ”

Pan Chengyou nodded with difficulty, "Master Hou, the lower officials think that the councillors have money and their treatment has gone up, so maybe they won't be bought!" ”

"No!"

Without waiting for Ye Hua to speak, Li Yu resolutely objected: "Impossible! Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. There is no end to the love of money! Over the ages, has the imperial court treated officials and scholars poorly? Tax exemption, exemption from military service, opening a branch to get a scholar, high-ranking officials, and sealing wives and children...... Which of these methods stopped officials from greedy for ink? On the contrary, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and the more they give, the more they want, and their desires are difficult to fill, this is the literati! ”

Pan Chengyou was speechless, who made Li Yu reasonable!

But the question is, is there a good way to do it?

Ye Hua listened carefully, and he was also constantly thinking, he muttered: "Rich businessmen and scholars, or public opinion, are the two most ill at the moment, and public opinion must be strictly controlled, and it must not be left to its own devices!" ”

Ye Hua knocked on the table and said: "The current newspaper office must at least collapse more than ninety percent!" ”

Pan Chengyou's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Master Hou wants to seal them?" ”

"No!"

Ye Hua suddenly laughed, and gently spit out two words: "Fine!" ”

……

Fang Dafa returned to his former noodle shop, which was originally intended to expand the workshop, but Ma Xiang found a better location, which was used as a temporary warehouse.

When Ma Xiang was taken, the house was taken out for rent again.

Fang Dafa has little interest in this small façade, he wants to go back to Liaodong immediately, although he escaped death, but he feels that Jiangnan is not suitable for him, and Liaodong outside the Saiwai is the stage that really belongs to him!

But before leaving, he still wants to revisit the old place and try it...... The taste of the past!

The shop was rented by a woman, and she still sold noodles.

Fang Dafa casually found a place and ordered a bowl of rotten meat noodles.

After a while, a little girl brought it to him with a bowl full of noodles.

"Please use it slowly!"

The little girl was extraordinarily polite, Fang Dafa took a look, huh! It's bigger than their original noodle bowl, half a bowl of noodles, plus a spoonful of oily minced meat, full of sincerity!

Fang Dafa ate the garlic violently.

It didn't take long for his forehead to sweat.

Joyfully!

"This sister-in-law is really a good craft! No worse than the original one in our family! ”

Fang Dafa said, arranging the ten copper coins on the table, "The price is also fair, I think the business of this noodle restaurant is going to be hot again!" ”

The woman walked over with a smile, put away the copper plate, and said casually: "Isn't it just a small business, relying on genuine goods!" Let me learn from a profiteer like Ma Xiang, and I will be punished! ”

Fang Dafa raised his head and looked at the woman, and the little girl also jumped over.

"Mother, I remember, isn't he the uncle who was falsely accused in the lobby that day?"

The woman finally recognized it and said in surprise: "You, you are Master Fang, right?" ”

Fang Dafa has been in the lobby, I don't know the mother and daughter, but hearing them say this, I feel very comforted in my heart, the big guy's eyes are still bright, and he knows right and wrong, good and evil!

"Fortunately, with the champion Hou in charge, I escaped death, and now that I think about it, I am really afraid! A beast like Ma Xiang really deserves a thousand cuts! ”

The woman nodded, "Who said no, this time he won't be able to run!" ”

Both victims, Fang Dafa and the woman chatted casually...... At this moment, there was a commotion in an alley in front of them, and after a while, several soldiers came out of it with a young man in their hands.

The young man was not tall, sven, wearing a robe, and he looked unconvinced.

"Why are you arresting me? Why? ”

Fang Dafa frowned and looked at the woman.

The little girl bit her finger and rolled her eyes, "I remember, he is a reporter from the newspaper, and he came to eat noodles yesterday!" ”

"Journalists?"

Fang Da was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "It's these guys, boasting about Ma Xiang everywhere and rubbing rouge and powder for him." What a journalist is a lackey! The court arrested him, it's so right! ”

Seeing this, Fang Dafa was also interested, he got up and said goodbye to the woman, and chased after the crowd, wanting to see what was going on!

The soldiers escorted the reporters to the newspaper office, and together with several other reporters, as well as the newspaper editor, and others, a total of more than a dozen.

The president of the leader was unconvinced: "May I ask what crime we have committed?" Coming to shut down our newspaper? ”

"That is, we didn't say anything for Ma Xiang, let alone post an article to praise him...... The court is implicating the innocent! ”

is worthy of being a person who plays with a pen, even if he is articulate, and his ability to fight a rake is also powerful enough!

The official in charge of the seizure of the newspaper chuckled, "Your case has nothing to do with Ma Xiang, don't put gold on your face...... We've received reports that you're advertising a crude drug store. ”

The president frowned and said, "What's wrong with this?" That's what all newspapers do! ”

"Hahaha." The official played with the taste: "But this crude medicine shop has no qualifications to buy medicine, it is a black shop." ”

"What?" The president reluctantly said: "We don't know that this is the case, this is our negligence, and we can't close our newspaper!" Is there any royal law left? ”

Syllable!

The official threw out a mouthful!

"Dare to ask Wang Fa! You advertise counterfeit medicine shops, without checking at all, people buy fake drugs and eat people's lives, who should you talk to to to settle accounts? It's not an exaggeration to deal with your careless human lives! ”

The president was beaten, but he didn't dare to fight back, so he could only cover his cheeks and snort: "This, we, will, will pay attention!" ”

"Attention? It's so light, people's lives are at stake, and the court doesn't dare to come nonsense, but you are so casual! Let me tell you, a false advertisement, a fine of one tael of silver...... You guys are okay with that, right? ”

"It's only one or two!" Not to mention the president, those reporters are relieved, menacing, just for such a little money, it's really not worth it, it seems that the court is not willing to tear their faces with them, the newspaper is still a little prestigious!

These people celebrated, but they didn't watch out, and they were pushed into the abyss by a word! The official chuckled and added: "You have sent out thirteen issues of advertisements, and the average sales volume of each issue is 1,000 copies, so the total fine is 13,000 taels!" Must be paid within 5 days! ”
