"Lord Wang, as long as you leave me a way to live, everything I have is yours, my life will be only your head, and our southern nobles will also support you unreservedly. You just need to give me a way to live!" You is really unwilling, he is still trying his best to fight for Li Zijun.

"If I let you go today, what difference will it be from killing that family with my own hands?! I will also try my best to cover it up for you afterwards and minimize the impact of this incident on your children!"

"Isn't it just the life of a few common people, why, why should I, a nobleman, be buried with them?! I admit that I am dirty, but how many people are clean in this Nogan City?! Even if I kill someone, so what? I have killed more than I, and there are more of them! Why do I have to die so that they can live?" You Yue said, the more excited he became, and finally he actually got up and yelled at Li Zijun.

"Dog life, Lord You, what you said is so easy! Then I want to ask you, what is your life, and what is my life? You just talked about killing, that's right, don't talk about this Nuogan City, even in the entire Dongyu, I'm afraid there are few people who kill more people than me!"

"But I can pat my chest and tell everyone that everyone I kill is a damned person!"

"Originally, I was still in a very troubled mood when I came, because in my opinion, that incident was just your momentary confusion! But now, I am suddenly relaxed, and I am glad that I corrected a mistake in time that could have caused a catastrophe!"

"You can not die for a while, but I hope you can carefully consider the price you will have to pay for living for a few more days!

"You wait!" You was entangled again and again, and at the moment before the door was pushed open, he called out to Li Zijun:

"If I die. Is it really possible to put everything to rest without affecting everyone else?"

"Do you think I need to lie to you? Choose for yourself!" Li Zijun sighed softly and raised his hand to push open the door.

"Lord Wang, please take care of my three children!" As he spoke, You knelt behind Li Zijun.

"Don't worry, what I promised you will definitely be done!" Li Zijun didn't look back, and walked out of the room directly.

"Young Master. Who are you?" He Yan had been waiting outside the door, and when he saw Li Zijun, he immediately greeted him.

"Go and accompany your father-in-law more!" Li Zijun patted He Yan's shoulder and beckoned his subordinates to leave You's mansion.

As soon as Li Zijun returned to Beket's mansion, the bad news of Lord You's violent illness and death reached here.

"Lord Beket, before the imperial court re-appoints, I'm afraid you will have to continue to work with 'illness' for a while!" Looking at Beket, who was a little dazed, Li Zijun nodded with a wry smile.

"The last general will definitely live up to the trust of His Highness and you to complete the smooth transition of Shimla Province!" Beket was stunned for a moment. Immediately, he gave Li Zijun a military salute in a standard military posture!

"Please!" Li Zijun returned the salute with the same gesture!

"Ed, now that Dongwoo's extravagance is prevalent and corruption is becoming rampant, do you think all this is normal?" In the shaking carriage, the sixth prince suddenly asked Li Zijun such a question.

After the incident in Nuogancheng, the sixth prince and Li Zijun set off again to rush to the disaster area. It's just that this time, because there are a large number of medicinal herbs, food and other materials accompanying them and needing them to take care of them, their marching speed has to slow down, which also gives the sixth prince and Li Zijun more time to chat.

"Inevitable development. It's normal!"

"Normal?" the sixth prince couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"You think it's normal?"

"Your Highness, don't get excited. I don't want to say that 'corruption' is normal, but that corruption is normal at this stage!"

"Sounds like a tongue twister!

"I can't talk about teaching, but I have a little bit of experience in this!" Li Zijun knew that the sixth prince was trying to test his governing methods and strategies, and he immediately became serious.

"I just want to hear what you have to say!"

"In my opinion. The main reason for this is that our system has not kept up with the times!"

"In this respect, I have a slightly different opinion from yours, and I still think that the main responsibility for the emergence of these phenomena lies with people, not with institutions!" the sixth prince shook his head, and directly stated his opinion:

"At the beginning of the statehood. Our system is still very imperfect, but we rarely have any corruption incidents, on the other hand, the 'disaster relief tax' in Nogan City is still vivid, and such incidents look ridiculous, but in fact, in our Dongyu is nothing new!"

"This is clearly their greed, if you also blame the 'system', don't you think it's a bit far-fetched?"

"In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, 'stability was the main thing in everything,' and at that time, almost all officials would consciously or unconsciously take this as their code of conduct! In such a general environment, as long as they were not consumed by the desire for profit and madness, there would rarely be any 'big greed'!"

"Also, to be honest, the beginning of the founding of the country is usually a waste of waste. To put it more bluntly, it means that he is poor and greedy! Unless the official completely ignores the lives of the local residents, as I just said, he is 'mad', there is really nothing worth his 'big fight'!"

"Moreover, I have to mention that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the handling of this aspect was also stricter. If you are a little careless, not to mention the dismissal of your official position, you may also lose your life. ”

"To sum up, at the beginning of the founding of any country, it is the stage when corruption is the least!"

"After the initial hardships, as long as the rulers are not too incompetent, there will be some happy and wonderful 'changes' in the lives of the vast majority of people in this country!"

With the gradual enrichment of material life, people's requirements for the quality of life will become higher and higher, at this stage, people will gradually no longer be satisfied with just being full of food and clothing, how to eat more exquisitely, wear more beautiful will gradually become people's new pursuit. ”

"At this time, if we don't introduce some systems and regulations to restrict this, the trend of extravagance will soon spread. Speaking of this, Li Zijun shook his head a little helplessly:

"But most of the time, what are we doing at this stage?

"At this time, the country's first and second generation leaders are basically gone. As the people's lives become prosperous and the social environment becomes more stable, the direction of the struggle will also change to a certain extent.

"Find a helper in a fight! This is a truth that all children understand, and it is naturally impossible for us so-called high-ranking officials not to understand it. As a result, 'forming gangs and forming factions' has become one of the most important 'work tasks' of high-ranking officials!"

"How can we better 'form gangs and form factions'? Only talk about official business? This is obviously not good! Eating, drinking, and having a good time are inevitable, and this will naturally encourage extravagance! But is this enough?" Speaking of this, Li Zijun smiled and shook his head.

In my opinion, the easiest way to form an interest group is to do bad things together! With these 'bad things' at the bottom, it is difficult for us to separate!"

"Therefore, the core personnel of many interest groups will encourage their internal members to do something shady in order to better control them! Now that they have such an idea, they will naturally no longer bother to stop any extravagance!"

"And what about them after they came to power, and why did they remain indifferent to it after they came to power?"

"It's not that they want to be indifferent, it's that they can't help themselves! Because once they rely on this means to build a framework of power, it means that whether they are in power or not, they can only allow this phenomenon to continue. ”

"To give an inappropriate example, the minister is the wooden pole that builds the shelf, and those 'means' are the ropes that connect the 'wooden poles' together, and the superior is more like a scaffolding worker! But if one of the ropes on this shelf breaks, what do you think will be?"

"What's even more terrifying is that there are new scaffolders underneath who are using this shelf to build new shelves. The 'old scaffolder' wants to change his mind and work hard? I'm sorry, he'll soon find out that he's the only one who will really fall! But as long as this frame still exists, there will be more and more ropes tied to their joints!"

"Is there nothing we can do about it? What about the 'system' you are talking about? Can the 'system' really make those greedy people let go of their greed? Why should they be so greedy when they have already lived a human life?" Hearing this, the sixth prince became a little excited.

"'Greed' is human nature, it is always in our body, and it can never disappear!"

"How is this possible? I don't believe it!"

"Your Highness, imagine if we were hungry at the moment, and we happened to see a pot of unattended stew with a rich aroma on the side of the road, what would you do? Of course, we are pretty sure it's safe to eat!"

"I can't help but go up and taste it!" the sixth prince wanted to refute Li Zijun, but after pondering for a while, he finally shook his head helplessly and said what he really thought.

"Will you just taste it?"

"I" The sixth prince hesitated for a moment and did not answer Li Zijun directly.

"If it were me, after I had eaten the first piece of meat, if no one would stand up to stop me, I would have continued!

"Why?" the sixth prince was stunned for a moment, but then he showed a look of enlightenment. But this did not make him feel any lighter, on the contrary, his face became even heavier! )
