Lu Sheng's words suddenly made Liang Yongren and the others change their faces. From their expressions, they knew that there was such a situation.

They didn't say anything, not because they were trying to hide anything. It's that they don't even think about it.

Although they are not the kind of people who do not think about the suffering of the people, they are at a height that it is difficult to notice the phenomena hidden in the shadows. If Lu Sheng really grew up in this era, he wouldn't necessarily know.

And this phenomenon is not an exception. It can be said that it has been closely related to the people and has even been integrated into the lives of the people.

After discovering this problem, Lu Sheng talked to Scar Tiger once. After giving Scar Tiger some promises, all the people who made a living in Suzhou never paid taxes that had nothing to do with the imperial court.

On this point, Lu Sheng was read a lot by the people of Suzhou. This is also the reason why so many people in Suzhou go to the city to send each other off.

"If we want social stability, we must first stabilize the people. The people have some food and some clothing, so naturally they will not think of chaos. And if the imperial court wants to completely control the people, it must grasp their lifeblood.

You may not want to believe it, but it's true. The people don't care who is the emperor, nor who is the world. They don't understand the way of the sages, and they don't understand loyalty and patriotism. They only care about their own one-third of an acre of land, and they only care about how much money they have in their pockets.

However, the taxes of the imperial court and the money and grain of the treasury were all from the hands of the people. Let me ask all of you here, how many things are in our hands about the food, clothing, shelter and transportation that the people care about?"

"What does Lord Lu mean by this? What is the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the people that is not under the control of the imperial court?" Liang Yongren asked with some confusion.

"Although I am new to Jinling, what I have seen and heard can only be referred to as Suzhou City. If there is any discrepancy, don't blame it.

In Suzhou, people mostly travel on foot. But if they have to walk long distances, or if the road is uneven, they will choose to take a car. In Suzhou City, there are three car dealers, but they do not call themselves car dealers, but call themselves gangs.

Before I took over the security of Suzhou, they often fought each other for soliciting, and the price they set was arbitrary. Are these people under the jurisdiction of the Jianghu Martial Arts or the Imperial Court?

My teacher once told me that the rivers and lakes are not that far away, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. And the rivers and lakes we talk about are those who open up mountain gates and recruit disciples. Or are they those chivalrous warriors who fight the world with swords and eliminate violence?

No, those people pose little threat to the people and the court. However, with so many martial arts sects, they have accepted so many disciples, what are they going to do? Where did those disciples who have completed their studies go down the mountain? What are these martial arts they have learned used to do?

They once stepped into the rivers and lakes, and then returned to the common people. or to take care of people's homes, or to set up military attachés, or to run their own business and go to the ends of the world. All kinds of people blend the rivers and lakes with the common people.

Whether it is a car dealership, a martial arts hall, or a restaurant, a rice shop, or a cloth village, behind these various industries, there is actually the back of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.

Sometimes, a sentence from our government is not as effective as an unknown person secretly issuing an order in secret. Why? Our orders don't threaten the people's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, but they can. ”

was said by Lu Sheng, not to mention Liang Yongren and others, even Shen Ling, who was sitting on the upper hand, was also sweating profusely.

"Lu Sheng, is what you said true? It's too scary, isn't it?"

"You just ask Liang Zhutou to know, isn't it scary?"

Liang Yongren glanced at Lu Sheng deeply, stood up respectfully and bowed deeply to Lu Sheng, "Lord Lu is insightful, I admire it." Although what Lord Lu mentioned, I have heard it for so many years.

But I have never been able to sort these things out, I always feel that this world is too complicated, this rivers and lakes are too entangled, and the people under my rule are too difficult to restrain them. But after Lord Lu mentioned it, it suddenly dawned on him.

In the final analysis, it is still food, clothing, housing and transportation. The secretly intricate relationship is nothing more than a mouthful of food and some money. As adults say, not only Jinling City, but also the entire Jiangnan Province, there is actually a net and a river and lake behind all walks of life. ”

"So, I suggest, don't do anything about bandits, if there is a bandit, come forward to suppress it, and if they are safe, then don't move for the time being.

Starting from Jinling City, all walks of life that are closely related to the lives of the people will be sorted out. All these things are in our hands.

If they want to yearn for freedom in the rivers and lakes, then go to the rivers and lakes and not interfere, if they still want to mix under our rule, then we have to set the rules, and they just need to abide by it.

In Jiangnan Province, the words of Nanling Wangfu should still be able to speak up, right?"

"It seems that we have to have something to do for a long time recently. ”

Lu Sheng originally promised Ahri to take her to eat roast duck, but unfortunately it didn't come true. But Shen Ling booked a table in Mingyue Tower at night and had a big meal. Fortunately, the roast duck in Mingyue Building is also good, at least Lu Li's meal is very happy.

The major departments of Xuantian Mansion all have their own descendants, but Lu Sheng only has one Lu Jian. Even if the Jinling Criminal Division is added, the manpower is only two or three hundred. Fortunately, these people were still very convinced of Lu Sheng, so Lu Sheng didn't feel the feeling of emptiness around him.

The matter of interviewing various underground forces was handed over to Liang Yongren, as the chief arrester of Jinling, he knew how to find people and how to talk. Talk about what you can talk about, scare what you can't talk about, fight if you can't get scared, and fight if you can't move...... Then I had to go to the Yellow Crane Smoke Order.

I usually don't care about it, but such a check and a smooth vine touch melon scared Liang Yongren a lot. In his words, the underground rules of Jinling City have even surpassed the decrees of the imperial court.

Fortunately, with Fei Lingwei on it, none of the so many intricate underground forces dared to take the lead. From Liang Yongren's report, it can be seen that Jinling City has eight kings, twelve tigers, seven young people, and three masters.

And behind each of them, there is a famous martial arts sect in Jiangnan Province.

At this time, it is time for Tianquan Villa to come forward. The name of Huo Tian, the hero of Jiangnan, is easy to use in every corner of Jiangnan Road.

Are these people covered by you? Aren't they? Okay, Liang Yongren, they're all cleaned up.

Are these people covered by you? Yes? Okay, look, what have they done over the years? What? You don't know? Okay, you clean up the portal yourself.

For a famous and decent family with a golden signboard, the reputation is even more important than their martial arts. Although my heart is very crooked, my face must make a gesture that I am not in the same way as sin.

People who walk in the gray zone, which ass is clean underneath?

And those commercial houses, car dealers, and all kinds of things that are huddled together, then Shen Ling needs to come forward. In the past, they had the final say on the price and how the share was divided, but from now on, the rules have changed.

Time flies, and a month has passed.

The rectification of Jinling City has been completed. These days, Lu Sheng's punishment order is like a convulsion, give rewards if you have nothing to do, and shake it if you have nothing to do. makes Lu Sheng sometimes too late to watch.

Although Lu Sheng did not carry out the rectification this time, he made this suggestion, and even the specific plan was made by him. Those who had unclean buttocks went to prison or were directly beheaded, and the credit naturally went to Lu Sheng.

And those who are not evildoers, have not done anything harmful, and some can even be said to be good people. But it was not Lu Sheng who was hit because of his resistance to law enforcement.

The state has national law, and Dayu has no place outside the law, and naturally there are no people outside the law.

A month later, Jinling City was still the same Jinling City, and even the people of Jinling City did not feel the turmoil in the past month. But they clearly feel that some kind of change seems to be taking place in their lives.

Life seems to have become easier, and the world around us has suddenly become regular and regular.

At the very least, the prices of the necessities bought and sold have become consistent, the speed of travel has become faster, and there has been no time for a long time for hooligans to come to them for protection money, the service attitude of the car dealers has improved, and the streets are no longer the ubiquitous people who cannot be messed with.

Shen Ling has no understanding of the feelings of the people, and they will not be stupid enough to run to the street and ask someone casually if you are happy? For Shen Ling, the greatest happiness is that while completely controlling the entire Jinling City, there is also a lot of money in the account.

When those opaque industries become transparent, the most immediate change is the increase in tax revenue.

The rectification came to an end, and Shen Ling waved his hand and asked the backbone to go to Mingyue Tower.

Actually, Shen Ling originally wanted to invite everyone to the Qinglou of the Twenty-fourth Bridge. But under Lu Li's murderous eyes, Shen Ling's name was changed to Mingyue Tower.

Mingyue Tower is located on the bank of the Jinling River, looking high and far away, and the beautiful scenery of the 24th Bridge is in full view.

If the 24 bridges during the day are poetic, then the 24 bridges at night are the moon.

And Shen Ling is at the end of the world, looking at the bright moon in the distance.

On the banks of the Jinling River, there are one green building after another, and the girls there are the best quality in the whole Jinling.

The yearning and nostalgia in Shen Ling's eyes made Lu Sheng want to kick this estrus directly into the river.

"Lu Sheng, what is the name of the poem you did last time?

"It's the crowd that has been looking for him thousands of times, and when I look back, that person is in the dim light!" Lu Li snorted coldly, "You are also a Jinshi who was admitted to the Jinshi, why is the gap between you and my brother so big?"

"Your brother is on the first list, and I am on the second list. By the way, this is the sentence, this situation, what a situation. Look at it, it's the Autumn Lotus girl's painting boat.

On the day when the autumn lotus girl came out of the cabinet, I and the unequaled son both wanted to kiss Fangze. Finally, I tried it out in this studio. This son is frightened, and the unequaled son is willing to bow down. The demeanor of this son back then can be described as ......"

"Shizi, you didn't drink too much, did you?" Duan Fei secretly pulled Shen Ling's sleeve.

"Uh......" Shen Ling came back to his senses and secretly glanced at Lu Li, but sadly found that Lu Li's face had no expression.

"Isn't it a bit too big to say that the lights are shining?" Liang Yongren came to Shen Ling's side to change the topic in order to break the atmosphere.

"I went, there was a fire. Lu Sheng exclaimed, his voice landed, and the figure had disappeared in place.
