Chapter 23: You Corrupt Official, We're Going to Kill You!!

Li Jin entered the mansion.

Li Jin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang a little depressed, this old man is the Roaring Emperor, right?

How do you roar loudly at every turn?

This temper is also too big, beware of high blood pressure!!

"Li Jin, you corrupt official, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's angry voice shook the beams in the house.

"Corrupt officials? Why is this official a corrupt official? These are just some local specialties. ”

Li Jin responded confidently, ignoring Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous gaze.

"Do you think we're all stupid? The yellow and clear is clearly gold! ”

"Souvenirs? Can you bite into such a hard souvenir? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry, looking like he was going to eat people, and said sharply to Li Jin.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even Zhu Di and Zhu Biao beside him were surprised by Li Jin's boldness.

This kid is not only corrupt and bribed, but also dares to accept bribes directly in front of his father.

Now I'm afraid that even the gods won't be able to save this county order.

How can such a smart person have to be corrupt and take bribes?

Even Queen Ma's eyes when she looked at Li Jin changed, after all, everyone knows that corrupt officials are generally not good things.

Bringing disaster to the country and the people, doing all kinds of evil, and doing everything for money, is simply synonymous with dog officials.

Seeing the indignant looks of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, Li Jin smiled lightly and said:

"The official took bribes, but the official took bribes not for himself, but for the people of Shanghu County."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he snorted coldly and said:

"Nonsense, you are corrupt and bribed for your own selfish desires, what does it have to do with the people?"

"You are young and should have a great future, why do you have to be a corrupt official?"

"Do you know that the most hated thing in the Holy World today is corrupt officials, and you dare to be so blatantly corrupt."

"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? If the Holy One knows, it will inevitably make you skin and cramp!! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was full of murderous intent, which scared Li Jin to the point that his hair stood on end.

But then Li Jin reacted and wrote lightly:

"Don't be angry, old man, this official is really doing this for the people of Shanghu County, do you know who that person is just now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked stunned, not understanding what to do for the people and corruption and bribery, and immediately asked:

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Jin asked people to carry the gold into the inner hall, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"That Zheng Guanren just now is a famous silk merchant in the south of the Yangtze River."

"It can be said that more than sixty percent of the silk in Jiangnan is produced by him, and he can be described as a well-known local wealthy businessman."

"So what? Could it be that if he has money, you can accept his bribes with peace of mind? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry.

Li Jin went on to explain:

"The official asked you, what do you need to make silk?"

"Of course you need raw silk!"

"What about raw silk?"

"Naturally, it is spit out by planting mulberry and raising silkworms."

"That's right!!"

Li Jin had a natural expression, but he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, and he didn't understand what was wrong!

"Don't be a fool of yourself, you corrupt official, I think you are greedy for money, so you blackmail businessmen!"

Zhu Di was a violent temper, and when he saw Li Jin speaking upside down, he suddenly couldn't sit still, and he lost his temper at Li Jin.

"Old man, your son is really like you!!"

Li Jin was still smiling, and he didn't take Zhu Di's words to heart.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was still frowning, not understanding the reason, only Liu Bowen seemed to understand something, and asked tentatively:

"Do you mean to say that this Zheng official will open a silk workshop to Shanghu County?"

"Finally someone who understands."

Li Jin slapped his palms and said to Liu Bowen:

"Sir, a silk workshop needs at least a thousand people."

"With Zheng Guanren's silk workshop, then these thousands of people will have a livelihood, and they no longer need to be displaced and live a life of hunger."

"He can drive a lot of employment in our Shanghu County, how can such a person not keep him in Shanghu County?"

"Employment?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Li Jin meant, he still refused to give up:

"There are only a thousand people, can't these thousands of people farm to support themselves?"

Li Jin rolled his eyes and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"More than a thousand."

"As you just said, silk needs raw silk, and raw silk needs to grow mulberry and silkworms, don't you need manpower?"

"To the southeast of Shanghu County, there is also a swamp that is not suitable for cultivation at all, but it is very suitable for planting mulberry trees."

"In this way, it will not only drive the employment of tens of thousands of people in Shanghu County, but also make use of the swamps in the southeast region, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"You don't want to think about it? With so many victims pouring into Shanghu County every day, how can the officials get so much land for them to cultivate just by farming? ”

"Besides, who wants to get up early and go to the fields as a last resort?"

Although what Li Jin said is extremely reasonable, if it is really according to what Li Jin said, then this Zheng Guanren settled the silk workshop in Shanghu County, which is indeed a benefit to the people.

But the last sentence Li Jin said, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to listen to it.

"Of course, farmers take farming as their duty, if we had an acre and three points of land, we would never be..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in the end, and almost missed his mouth.

Li Jin looked puzzled and asked:

"Won't anything?"

"I won't rebel with the emperor!"

When Li Jin heard this, he sneered:

"Since you are also a hard worker, don't you know the hardships of farming?"

"If it's not to fill their stomachs, who wants to wake up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs?"

"Year after year, day after day, there is not a day at all that can stop and rest."

"Face the loess with your back to the sky, and work hard to cultivate the fields."

"After a year of hard work, how much did you leave for yourself? If there is a better life, who wants to keep plowing the land? ”

"If you are allowed to work only five days in seven days, and the remaining two days are rested, and you can be given five taels of silver a month, will you do such work?"

Dry! Not to mention two days off, even if I don't take a break, I'm willing!

But where can there be such a fairy day?

Do five days and rest for two days? Do you still have a salary of five taels of silver a month?

This kind of life is probably only available in dreams.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart, but suddenly thought that there was a weekend holiday in Shanghu County?

"The place you are talking about can't be your Shanghu County, right?"

"Of course, it can be said without modesty that in the whole world, there is no happier than the people of Shanghu County."

Li Jin raised his head high, looking like a villain.

Although Li Jin's political achievements are indeed good, Zhu Yuanzhang still can't let go:

"Even so, you don't need to be corrupt, right?"

"Even if you are a clean official, you can still do all this!!"
