After Li Mo and Li Wenxuan finished talking about necessary and related serious matters, they began to drink this lunch meal in a down-to-earth manner. It took half an hour before and after, and the two of them finished their business meal. Each other is in a good mood, after all, a win-win situation has been reached. After they finished, they simply used tea, only then did they talk and laugh, talked about innocuous topics, and walked out of the large elegant room of the Drunken Immortal Building. The two who went out said goodbye to each other, got on the official sedan chair, and returned to different yamen.

Li Wenxuan, who drank a few more glasses of wine, sat in the sedan chair, drooping his head, and was thinking vigorously in his heart. There is nothing wrong with a good man with three arms, a fence with three stakes, and he cultivates and develops his own power and people. In the midst of this swaying, his sedan chair stopped outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Wenxuan, who pressed the sedan chair and walked out, walked directly into his official office. After sitting down, he called someone to polish the ink, put the paper on the table, took down a brush on the pen holder, and wrote a letter to Liu Wenjing when he picked it up. The others are not blind, their eyes are firmly fixed on the position of the magistrate of Daxing County, after all, it is a shortage of good and fat.

Li Wenxuan knows very well that Liu Wenjing does not belong to the kind of corrupt officials who "know the county for three years, 100,000 snowflakes and silver", scraping the ground. When I was still staying in Guixi County, I still learned that the other party had indeed done some good and practical things. As for accepting bribes, Liu Wenjing has them, but they are quite restrained. If you really want to rely only on the imperial court annual salary of a few dozen taels of silver to feed a large family and non-staff personnel in a government office, it is not enough at all. All kinds of internal and external expenses accumulate every day, they have to be settled every month, and they have to continue to do official work, so they have to find ways to supplement them from other places, otherwise they will not be able to operate.

For this. Li Wenxuan expressed considerable understanding, after all, this kind of officialdom accumulation of malpractices is not achieved overnight, but belongs to the freezing of three feet, not caused by a day of cold. For thousands of years, there has been no real elimination and the most effective method in all dynasties. The attitude adopted by the ruling class is still that of dredging and blocking. Instead of strengthening the supervision mechanism at all levels to the greatest extent, putting power into the cage of the established system, strengthening the mutual restraint between powers rather than the relationship of subordination, and so on.

Even in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon bed day and night, and worked tirelessly day and night to govern and govern the government, and issued a decree that officials who embezzled sixty taels of silver would peel the daylily, and did not stop the big nest case of Ouyang Lun, a concubine from the local to the central.

Even if a third of the country's officials were killed by him, it still did not deter the corrupt officials. Even if he killed a large number of people in the morning, and a large number of them appeared in the afternoon, he had to have a big sigh of "how many corrupt officials". What's more, this does not include Zhu Yuanzhang himself, who turned a blind eye to the founding heroes and closed one eye to the unbearable people, believing that they were insatiable and doing evil, and finally made up his mind to lift the butcher's knife and kill the group of nobles.

Li Wenxuan doesn't think that the scholars are studying hard. Seeking the success of the carp jumping over the dragon gate is all for the sake of the family and the country. This is where personal ambitions are realized. Naturally, there are still them. However, their own thoughts are more focused on the fact that they want to change their fate, and Feihuang Tengda is the most realistic.

Li Wenxuan, who came to the Jiajing period, has lived and struggled for so many years, and it is not unclear that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi is sitting on the dragon bed, and he is obsessed with Huang Lao's skills. Believe in alchemy, build palaces and palaces in a big way, and live arrogantly and lasciviously, making the eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City. Concubines, etc., once reached a staggering number of 100,000. In his spare time, just thinking about how these 100,000 people serve one person, what is it like? In my own opinion, the absolute upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. It is inevitable that I will be deeply influenced by the whole social atmosphere.

Li Wenxuan's excuse for himself was used to appease the condemnation of his conscience, after all, he did some things that were not very upright, and the extravagance of his own house was not good, but at the same time, there was no change, but he continued to walk on this road unabated. Li Wenxuan thought that he and Emperor Jiajing should have the same idea, after all, doing such a hard job, it is not a big deal to pay attention to food and clothing. Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the high-ranking officials below are fighting and grabbing one by one, who is more tattered in clothes, and who is poorer and prouder?

All in all, it is impossible for a small toothpick to shake and repair this decaying ship. The only way to get rid of the drawbacks fundamentally and have a new look is to change the law and renovate it. Li Wenxuan recalled the historical knowledge he had learned from middle school textbooks, and it was not that he was unaware of the three major changes in feudal society. First of all, the Shang Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was considered a successful reform, which made the Qin State from weak to strong, and laid a very good foundation for the eventual unification of the world, but Shang Ying himself was torn apart. He who loves his wife and children has absolutely no such plans, after all, his mother-in-law and children still have to count on him to give the best protection. He will not worship Shang Ying as an idol, and he can't do it with a kind of great kindness and righteousness that the Buddha cut meat and fed the eagle.

Secondly, the changes of Wang Anshi during the Northern Song Dynasty ended in failure. Although Wang Anshi, the first advocate and promoter of the reform, did not die because of this, his political life and career came to an end. In the end, the Wuxu reform in the last years of the Qing Dynasty still ended in failure. Li Wenxuan is even more not like Tan Sitong to sacrifice his life for righteousness, if he has the opportunity to run away, but to stay and be arrested, he has to come to wake up the people with blood.

Whether it is Tan Sitong's "I smile at the sky from the horizontal knife, and go to keep the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun!" "Or when he was righteous, he was righteous and awe-inspiring" He had the intention to kill the thief, he was powerless to return to heaven, and he died as he deserved, so fast, so fast! "Anyway, I don't have such great plans. In addition, throughout the thousands of years of history of feudal society, there have been various changes, large and small, and the probability of failure and the probability of success of rebellion should be a fight.

Li Wenxuan's principle is to do his own things well, not to equate mediocrity with corruption, and to protect some people and things to the greatest extent is already very good. He can only adapt to the environment, but not let the environment adapt to him. As for change or something, I can't do it at all. (To be continued......)
