After that, Li Zhong continued: "I thought it was ...... The boat and car built by Xuanyuan back then were the first generation of technology. ”

"Of course! Along with it, there are also farming, silkworm reeling, weaving and other technologies. ”

"Today's words...... It's the second generation! ”

"Just because ......"

"The first generation is often human or animal."

"From the second generation, it was not human or animal power, but by burning coal and boiling water."

Li Chong's opinion really made Meng Jiao feel a little ashamed.

Meng Jiao: "Your Highness's words have never been heard of before. ”

Li Chong also said: "If it is really not good for a person to be an official, then it is okay to go to the Academy of Sciences." ”

"If it weren't for the Academy of Sciences, if I think about it, in the past hundred years, the people of Datang would not have lived as well as they do now."

"At least...... It should be better than any previous dynasty. ”

At this time, Li Ao also said: "How old is Your Highness this year?" ”

It's normal for low-level people like them to not know how old Li Chong is.

Li Chong said: "Ten years old, what's wrong?" ”

Li Ao: "Not much, the minister just thinks that this doesn't look like a ten-year-old." ”

"His Highness's insight into things far exceeds that of His Highness's peers."

Li Chong: "Maybe I'm a good thinker. Talking and talking is dry, small, boiling tea. ”

……

While letting Xiaoxiao boil tea, Li Chong also asked the two.

"I've said so much, it's time for you to talk about it, I want to know, now the people of Datang can eat a few meals a day, and a few days of meat."

"And ...... On average, there will be a few people in a family, and there are several acres of land in the family, which is inside Luoyang City, needless to say, I want to know outside Luoyang City. ”

"It's like Mengjiao, your hometown."

Meng Jiao told the truth, he hadn't returned to his hometown for some years.

Of course!

What you have seen and heard along the way is enough to tell Li Chong.

Nowadays, the biggest drawback of Datang is that land annexation is serious, and some can even be said to be forcible seizures.

Although......

Even if some people lose their land, they can go to the city to work.

But the question is......

If you are bullied by bad people and lose your own land, then it is not a good thing after all.

Meng Jiao then ......

told Li Zhong all the shortcomings he had seen along the way.

There's one thing to say about it.

Magistrate, the appearance of a few rat droppings can only be said to be normal.

Even in the Hereafter, that's the same.

Li Chong asked Meng Jiao: "Then what do you think should be done to prevent this kind of thing?" ”

Meng Jiao proposed: "The minister thinks that the merger should be suppressed and the officials should be rectified." ”

Li Chong: "What about the specific measures?" ”

Meng Jiao: "Someone should be sent to conduct a strict assessment of local officials. Reward the incorruptible and punish the corrupt. ”

Li Chong also said: "Then you said to send someone, who is this person going to send?" ”

Meng Jiao: "......"

Li Chong: "You? ”

Meng Jiao: "If you need a minister, you are willing to receive this order." ”

Li Chong: "No, no, no, we're just discussing, I don't have that kind of power." ”

"I just want to say that it is not a good way to govern people by people, after all, after all, in a few years, you can ensure that when you are in a high position, you will not become a person like them?"

Meng Jiao: "The minister will definitely not!" ”

Li Chong: "I don't think you know, but in this world, how many of you are like this?" How do you make sure that everyone else is like you? ”

Meng Jiao couldn't help but be speechless when he asked this.

And......

Engaging in corruption is not so simple!

It's like the Tui En Decree of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is said by many people to be the first yang conspiracy in the ages.

However......

At that time, it seems that Liu Qi, the Aye Han Jing Emperor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had already cut all the feudal clans that should have been cut, and also pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, so the prestige of the Han Dynasty court at that time did not have the princes to dare to provoke, nor did they have the ability to provoke.

At this time, the implementation of the Tui Grace Decree will of course be carried out smoothly.

And......

None of the princes dared to resist.

But......

If you change the time and background, for example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, you asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to give the princes a tuien order to try?

That's impossible!

Therefore......

If you want to achieve what Meng Jiao said, suppressing mergers and rectifying the rule of officials, let's not talk about whether this suppression and annexation is reasonable. First of all, you have to be an emperor with a lot of power in your hands.

Otherwise......

It's hard to say whether the people below listen to you or not.

The current word......

To be honest, he doesn't know if the people below will listen to his imperial grandfather, if he listens, then it is still a little possible, but Li Chongchai may be a little choking.

After all......

His imperial grandfather is now so old, it is estimated that he has long since lost the ambition he had at the beginning, and he ...... The most corrupt should be the people who supported his accession to the throne in the first place.

The palms of these hands are full of meat, and they are willing to cut them off.

When the time comes......

If you don't do it, you can get a mean evaluation of yourself.

Of course!

It's not that because it's already like this, then don't do anything.

All I can say is......

The scab was removed, and pus was still leaking underneath.

Although Meng Jiao's words were impassioned, in fact, they did not touch the essence of the matter at all.

Let's be honest!

Li Chong wanted to borrow the Japanese method, but the question was......

Cough!

Maybe he'll fall overboard and die the next day.

Japan's punishment of corruption is very simple, that is, punishment, and heavy punishment.

If you embezzle $5,000, your political career is over.

If the amount of embezzlement reaches $10,000, you will be sentenced to a minimum of 3 years in prison and will not be allowed to enter the establishment for life.

If you embezzle 16,000 yuan, you will not only be imprisoned for five years, but you will also have all your assets, including real estate, confiscated regardless of what money you buy it with.

At last...... If the amount of embezzlement reaches 25,000 yuan, it is a big crime, and you will be sentenced to 30 years in prison, and your spouse will also be sentenced to 30 years in prison, and if you have children, you will also be sentenced to 10 years, and you will not be able to take the civil service exam for 5 generations.

It can be said that this is to bring the ancient method of sitting to the extreme.

Meantime!

It's also about having your family supervise you.

It completely eliminates the possibility of corruption in you.

But......

Can you use such a system, and do you dare to use it?

As long as you dare to use it today, they will dare to clear the king's side tomorrow.

Whoever proposes it, they will attack it en masse, dig up your black material, and then let you degrade out of the capital from now on, or even a little more ruthlessly, arrange some assassin killers or something on the road, so that you will never be able to return to the capital for the rest of your life.

Li Chong thought that Meng Jiao could have any insight.

Let's be honest!

It's not as good as him.

Of course!

In fact, Li Chong had long known that this would be the result.

It's just that......

He still wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
