"Isn't that easy?" The old man stroked his goatee and said,

"The reason why everyone thinks that there are fewer corrupt officials in the Song and Yuan dynasties than in our Ming Dynasty is that the corrupt officials of these dynasties have not been caught."

"If you don't increase your efforts, it will certainly look less."

"If you don't go to the hospital for the rest of your life, then you won't be sick for the rest of your life. In the eyes of others, they will think, yo, if this person doesn't go to the hospital for the rest of his life, he must be as strong as a cow. ”

"However, only he knows whether there is any illness or not."

Similarly, as long as a corrupt official is not caught, then he will not be a corrupt official, but this is too self-deceptive. Several other dynasties did not arrest and punish corrupt officials as vigorously as our Ming Dynasty, of course, it will make everyone mistakenly think that the officials of other dynasties are more honest than the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and even mistakenly think that His Majesty's way of punishing and punishing the law is wrong. ”

"The difference between our Hongwu Emperor and the emperors of other dynasties is that one took the initiative to go to the hospital to find the symptoms and treat them with Mengyao, while the other did not go to the hospital at all."

"Makes sense!" When the crowd heard this, they said,

"The old man has extraordinary insights."

"However, there are many stupid people in the world who can't even think of this basic truth." Hearing the compliments of the crowd, the old man also said a little flutteringly and proudly,

"They also think that there are more corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty than in all dynasties."

"In fact, in a dynasty where Confucianism was in power, and people were sophisticated, wasn't there corrupt officials everywhere?"

"It's just that we arrested, and they just turned a blind eye. As long as our Ming Dynasty is grasping, severely punishing and cracking down, it will be more advanced than the previous dynasties. ”

"There are more than 300 in Jiangnan Province alone, which is inevitably too much, right?" There is humanity.

"What's more? All of them were arrested and killed, and none of them were innocent. The old man said,

"All of them are nepotism, forming a network of relationships that ordinary people can't get into."

"Yes, nepotism, sophistication, and friends have become a cancer that has plagued the court." The first to speak is human,

"Your Majesty has now arrested more than 300 people, killed and robbed the family, which is to cut off the tumor."

"After eradication, hand over Jiangnan to the Mo family to govern."

"How do you know all this news? Hearsay? At this point, a drinker questioned.

"Don't you all read the newspaper?" The man who spoke first said in astonishment. took out a newspaper from his side, it was the "Daming Daily" issued by the Daming Government every day, in which the four words "Daming Daily" were inscribed by Song Lian, a university scholar.

The emblem is a dragon pattern for shading, and the sun and moon are for the figure. President of the newspaper, Shi Nai'an. The headline on the front page of "Daming Daily" is this news.

When the crowd heard this, they retreated one after another, quite embarrassed. They have not yet developed the habit of reading newspapers every day, after all, "Daming Daily" is a new thing, and they are all ancients.

And having free time to read the newspaper every day is not something that they can do as peddlers and pawns. It turned out that it was all reported!

We're really lonely, the crowd thought to themselves.

"In addition, it was also written in Daming Daily that more than 300 officials had confiscated a total of 200 million taels of silver!" The man picked up the newspaper and continued.

200 million taels ?? The crowd was dumbfounded again, the astronomical figure of 200 million shocked their hearts inexplicably.

It is said that all dynasties and dynasties are poor, poor and poor, and the wealth is in the hands of these people. At the end of the dynasty, the people were starving, but the gold and silver in the gentry's homes were piled up.

The imperial court had no money and could not implement the policy of benefiting the people, could not build bridges and roads, could not provide disaster relief, and could not strengthen the Yellow River embankment to prevent flooding, but they were the smell of wine and meat in Zhumen.

When the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty fell, the imperial court could not pay military salaries, but those members of the court, the squires and nobles, were very rich.

"The court confiscated their 200 million taels of silver, is it our business, will it affect my monthly service of two taels of silver every month?" At this time, as soon as he sat in the corner of the restaurant, the person who had not spoken said coldly.

The crowd fell silent when they heard this, that person was really a topic terminator. If you think about it carefully, it does affect his monthly dedication of two taels of silver every month.

When the imperial court has money, it can use the money to improve people's livelihood and provide disaster relief. Repair bridges and roads. But these things seem to be a little far away from them.

"Everyone in the world says that Mr. Qin has a great power for the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't think so!" Seeing that the crowd was silent, the man continued,

"He also said that he was the leader of the Huaxia Think Tank, and I think he is also in vain???." How dare you slander Mr. Qin?

When the crowd heard this, their expressions immediately froze. The Ming Dynasty, the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty, is very different from before, haven't you noticed that your eyes are blind?

"Are you looking for death?" As soon as a strong man rolls up his sleeves, he will go up and fight with him to the death.

"In the past, my family was poor and couldn't afford to eat, but my husband made my family rich, how dare you abuse my benefactor?"

"Don't be rough!" However, the person who wanted to rush up and beat someone was stopped by a young man with an extraordinary temperament.

"Not only am I not angry that he insulted our dean, but I am glad for the dean." Our Dean?

"Dare to ask Mr. ......" the strong man was in awe.

"Xiao Ke Jixia Academy, a student of the Agricultural College." The temperament of the young man is surging.

"Since you are from the Jixia School Palace, then why did you just say that he insulted Mr. Qin, but you felt relieved for Mr. Qin? You must know that the gentleman is your dean, and you are his student. "The stout young man, and the people around him, don't understand.

"Because Mr. said that all his efforts are so that ordinary people, people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, can question him, and dare to question him boldly." Faculty of Agriculture,

"If even the peddlers, pawns, and roadside beggars dare to question him, then the Ming Dynasty is truly free and progressive."

"Think about it, if it was before, you would dare to talk about Your Majesty and the affairs of the court here?"

"If all the people in the world only praise and praise Mr., without a word of doubt and rebuke, then all praise and praise may be false."

"Makes sense!"

"Makes sense!"

"Mr. Qin is amazing!"

"Mr. Qin's wisdom has been surpassed in all generations."

"This is the leader of the real Huaxia Think Tank, and this is worthy of the dean of the Jixia School Palace, everything is for the people." The crowd sighed.

"Wait!" At this moment, the man who had just taken the newspaper slapped the table and spoke.

"Your Majesty confiscated 200 million taels of silver, and it really has something to do with us."

"What's the relationship!?"

"The back of the newspaper said that the 200 million silver confiscated by the imperial court is ready to be returned to the people of Jiangnan! In the form of giving money, it is directly to their bank stub. ”
