"Old man, you really don't know how to be an official!!"

Li Jin explained to Zhu Yuanzhang in a deep voice:

"The way to be an official is nothing more than to serve the country and the people."

"Merchants are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and we can't discriminate against them because of the low status of merchants, which is foolish."

"I want the official to say, our emperor is really small!!"

"Small? What's small? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Jin say and said, and he actually accused himself, and he was immediately furious:

"If you don't make it clear, we have to let the emperor punish you."

Li Jin stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand, made a gesture with a smaller pattern, and said:

"It's smaller."

"Shinong industry and commerce are indispensable to the country, but the emperor now is heavy on agriculture and suppressed business, for fear that businessmen will make a little money."

"If you want me to see it, our emperor is a small peasant mentality, and he can't get used to seeing others make money, and it is more uncomfortable for others to make money than for him to lose money."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao looked at each other, daring to say the emperor's small peasant thoughts in front of the emperor, this Li Jin is really bold.

I'm afraid that my father has the heart to kill people at this moment.

Even Queen Ma covered her mouth and snickered beside her, don't say it, this Li Jin is really right.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a cat who seemed to have been stepped on by his tail, jumped up suddenly, pointed at Li Jin and scolded:

"Bastard, you dare to slander the Holy One today? We have to let the emperor arrest you in prison. ”

Li Jin didn't panic, arrest me?

Look at you like a money fan, don't want to make money?

rolled his eyes to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then explained:

"It is the emperor's national policy that makes all the businessmen in the world look down on."

"The emperor doesn't want to think about it, without merchants, how can the goods in this world circulate?"

"If the goods are not in circulation, how can the imperial court collect commercial taxes? In the past few years, the expenditure of the imperial court has been shrinking, is it not because it is not because it is unable to make ends meet? ”

"I don't want to open source, I just want to reduce expenditure, this is not a long-term solution."

"It's a pity, the emperor is a farmer and doesn't know anything about the economy, so he can only live by collecting a little tax from the people."

"But this official is different, this official can't look down on the little silver of those mud legs, and if you want to be greedy, you have to be greedy for the money of these businessmen and tycoons."

Zhu Yuanzhang was blushed by what Li Jin said, and he wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.

I had to continue to hold on to the initial question, and said angrily:

"Then you are also corrupt and bribery!!"

"This official is not corrupt, how dare those businessmen settle in Shanghu County?"

Li Jin replied angrily:

"Today's emperor has done that and set the businessman as the lowest, and he has no status at all."

"If the official doesn't take this money, do you think they dare to invest so much money in Shanghu County? Dream on! ”

"These businessmen are more shrewd than the other, even if they see that they are profitable, but if they don't have a tough backer, they dare to invest money indiscriminately?"

"That's a self-defeating way, and only when they have a local backer and someone who can solve their troubles for them, will they be willing to invest a lot of money here."

"If you want the official to say, this is thanks to the current emperor, if there is no nonsense from the emperor, how can we come out and make decisions for businessmen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was directly broken by Li Jin's words, and the reason why you corrupt officials are greedy is our fault?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think it's his fault, he thinks that these corrupt officials are all people with poor conduct and bad morals.

polluted the entire Ming court, stained a piece of land, hid filth, and oppressed the people, which was actually the source of chaos.

"No matter how clever you say, you are also corrupt and bribery, and you are a corrupt official."

"We have to..."

"Corrupt officials!! Does the old man have to hold on to the corrupt officials? ”

"Do you know how many corrupt officials there are in the world? How much can you manage? ”

Before Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Li Jin interrupted directly and shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was entangled in the matter of corrupt officials, Li Jin decided to correct Zhu Yuanzhang's values.

"Corrupt officials in this world are like carp crossing the river, even if all the officials are pulled out and beheaded, none of them will be wronged."

"What can you do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was interrupted by Li Jin's voice, and was slightly stunned.

Since ascending to the throne, for so many years, no one has dared to speak like this to himself.

This bastard, how dare a county magistrate do this? We're going to have to fix him.

When he heard Li Jin's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more furious, in Li Jin's eyes, could it be that our Ming Dynasty was so corrupt?

"You are talking nonsense, Lu Mingyi, the chief secretary of Yangzhou, is not a corrupt official."

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered Lu Mingyi he saw in Yangzhou.

Although Yangzhou is dilapidated, Lu Mingyi, as the main bookkeeper, can stick to his post and be honest and honest, Zhu Yuanzhang still appreciates it.

"Lu Mingyi?"

Li Jin's brows furrowed slightly, as if he remembered something?

"He is indeed a clean official, but this official thinks that this kind of clean official should be killed the most!!"

Li Jin's words were murderous, as if he must kill Lu Mingyi.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react to Li Jin's murderous aura, but he was shocked by Li Jin's words:

"Presumptuous, that's a Qing official of the Ming Dynasty, an example for officials, how can you kill him?"

Li Jin sneered:

"Lu Mingyi, as the chief bookkeeper of Yangzhou, guards such a good place in Yangzhou, but the situation in Yangzhou is getting worse and worse year by year."

"As the old man said, Lu Mingyi may indeed be a clean official."

"But has the old man seen the people under Lu Mingyi's rule?"

"Lu Mingyi is a clean official with a pure character, but the people under his rule are not full of food and clothing."

"Can you say he's a good officer?"

"Those who are in power do not want to work for the welfare of the people, but only care about their own reputation, and turn away people who can bring benefits to the people."

"Shouldn't such officials be killed?"

"An official like this, the emperor handed over the people of the Ming Dynasty to him, so he was not afraid that the people of the Ming Dynasty would starve to death?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the tragic situation of Yangzhou Yizi and eaten, and was silent for a moment.

Li Jin's voice continued:

"Is it not true that a good official can let the people under his rule have enough food and clothing, and live a happy life?"

"Yes, this official is a corrupt official, but this official can say that this official can make the people under his rule worry about food and clothing."

"Whether a person is a good official or not should be judged by his behavior, whether he does practical things for the people and makes decisions for the people."

"If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

"Sweet potato? What's that? ”

Zhu Di interrupted.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di fiercely, and Li Jin didn't pay attention to Zhu Di, and continued:

"If an official is a clean official, and the people under his rule are as poor as him, then what does such an official want him to do?"

"Let him only think about his own reputation, let him watch the people starve to death and freeze to death for the sake of a hundred generations?"

"If an official is a corrupt official, but the people under his rule have no worries about food and clothing, and live a happy life, do you say that he is not a good official?"

"Besides, the generation of corrupt officials is not in the corrupt officials themselves, but in the holy !! today"

The last sentence was like a depth charge, directly blowing Zhu Yuanzhang's face red.
