The people are the cornerstone, and if you want to stabilize the superstructure, you must stabilize the lower cornerstone.

But paradoxically, when it comes to stabilizing the underlying cornerstone, it usually affects and even threatens the superstructure.

The reason is very simple, the benefits are limited, those court officials are used to eating meat, let them drink soup, they will not will.

The examples of the gentry forcing the imperial power and causing the emperor to compromise have appeared in all dynasties.

Li Qing can only plan, both soft and hard.

Fortunately, in the past few years, through his efforts, Zhu Qizhen has been able to stabilize the overall situation in the temple and not let the situation get out of control.

He will consolidate the lower level, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty can be extended for at least decades, or even nearly a hundred years.

For too long, he didn't dare to ask for extravagance, and it was not realistic.

But now it's already very good, Li Qing estimates that when the pilot of Jinling is successful, there will be people who will follow suit without the guidance of the imperial court.

The giant ship of Daming, as long as it is offset a little, the way out will be completely different.

If the Ming Dynasty really goes to industrialization, what will the future be like?

Li Qing couldn't help but look forward to ......

At this time, a brocade guard walked in and interrupted Li Qing's thoughts.

"Lord Yuqincha, Sixth Father-in-law." Jin Yiwei knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Dongchang Admiral Liu Gonggong is here, and he is waiting for the two of you. ”

Li Qing and Xiao Liuzi got up at the same time, their faces full of surprise.

"Okay, I see." Li Qing nodded, "I'll go over right away." ”

Jin Yiwei arched his hand and exited the room.

Xiao Liuzi was a little nervous, "My lord, is the emperor going to replace our family?" ”

"It's very unlikely." Li Qing said with a smile, "Dongchang, like Jinyiwei, is the eagle dog of the imperial court, and the emperor needs them very much, and he will not easily let the governor of Dongchang stay in Jiangnan." ”

"It's also huh." Xiao Liuzi was a little relieved, "Then what is he doing here?" ”

Li Qing rolled his eyes, "How do I know this, just go and see it." ”

~

"Father-in-law Liu." Li Qing stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand.

"Our family has seen Grandpa Liu."

Gonggong Liu returned the salute with a fist, "Li Qin is polite." ”

Then, he politely picked up Xiao Liuzi and said with a smile: "It's all my own masters, I don't need these vain." ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Liuzi put his mind at ease and knew that most of his position as a eunuch had not run away, provided that there was no accident.

The three of them chatted for a while and sat down.

Li Qing got straight to the point: "My father-in-law came this time, what happened?" ”

"That's right." Gonggong Liu put down the teacup and explained: "The emperor learned about the situation of the two in Jinling, and he was afraid that you would make a mistake, so he sent our family to escort you." ”

Xiao Liuzi was overjoyed, "How many people did my father-in-law bring?" ”

"Our family is in a hurry, there are only five hundred people around, but there are two thousand five behind, and we will arrive in a few days."

After a pause, "The emperor has already punished Shang Shuming, who embezzled public funds, and the emperor said that Li Qincha does not have to scruples, he should be arrested, and those who should be killed are killed, and Li Qincha has the right to intervene in all affairs of Jinling." ”

Li Qing nodded, "I have a heart." ”

Father-in-law Liu: "......"

With such a great imperial grace, you have to at least kneel on the ground, right?

It's so big!

Gonggong Liu smacked his lips, he didn't take this matter seriously, "The emperor specially explained, what did Li Qincha say, what did our family do, and asked Lord Qincha to show me." ”

The people in the palace are all snobs, Li Qing is so young, he can have such achievements, and the future is promising, he will not treat Li Qing as a seven-grade capital.

Li Qing pondered for a while and said, "My father-in-law sent someone to Shen Xin Industry to watch it to prevent someone from sabotage." ”

Salute first and then soldiers, and after tomorrow, the officials and gentry will know that the salute is not good, and they will definitely fight.

"That's fine." Gonggong Liu said, "The problem is that our family doesn't know who Shen Xin is and his industry ......."

"We know." Xiao Liuzi smiled and said, "Our family is with my father-in-law." ”

Father-in-law Liu said politely: "Then there will be labor." ”

It is almost a certainty that Xiao Liuzi will be a Bingbi eunuch, and it is necessary to build a good relationship in advance.

The two stammered with each other, and they were in harmony.

With so many helpers coming at once, Li Qing was completely relieved, chatted briefly for a while, and simply went home to sleep.

…

Next.

Li Qing got up early in the morning, practiced Tai Chi with his master for a while, read a book for a while, and went to the yamen slowly after breakfast.

When he arrived, the plaintiff and the defendant were ready, waiting for him as the judge.

There is a Wang Mao today, after all, in the eyes of the officials, the overall situation has been decided, and the advantage lies in me; There's no need to show up.

In order to cater to Li Qing, Wang Mao stood ten officials on each side of the lobby today, holding a killing stick, solemn and solemn.

"Bang ——!"

Li Qing was shocked, "Ascension!" ”

"Mighty ......!"

'Bell ......' killing rod hits the floor tiles, emitting a unique syllable, which is breathtaking.

Li Qing finally experienced the happiness of the county master in the film and television drama.

It's really cool!

"Who is in the hall, and what are your grievances?"

Both sides of the "......" were speechless, but could only cooperate.

Wang Yuanwai: "The grass people are the plaintiff's representatives. ”

Shen Xin: "Caomin is the defendant. ”

Li Qing asked, "What are you suing?" ”

"The bully Shen Xin owes money and doesn't pay it back." Wang Yuanwai said, "My lord, you know who Shen Xin is, he is a big liar. ”

"Shen Xin of the dog day, pay me back my hard-earned money." Zhang Fushen's face was full of anger and grievances, "Lord Qingtian, please make decisions for the small people!" ”

"Rest assured, this official will not let go of a bad person, nor will he wronged a good person." Li Qing was full of style, "Bring me the IOU." ”

The crowd offered IOUs one after another.

Li Qing glanced at it officially, and patted the wood, "Shen Xin, do you admit it?" ”

"Yes, the grass people have always recognized it." Shen Xin said aggrievedly, "But isn't it yet the date to repay the money?" ”

"That's easy to say." Li Qing cleared his throat and said to a group of people outside the royal staff, "Don't worry, when it's time to repay the money, if he dares not to pay back the money, or if he loses a penny of your money, the official will let him not eat and walk around." ”

"Adult ......"

'Bang——! As soon as the wood fell, the rich gentry were frightened back.

Li Qing slapped so loudly that even the two rows of officials were so frightened that they shrank their necks.

"Shen Xin, you do business well, make money well, and pay back the money well."

"Outside the king, you should wait at home, and count the money when the time comes."

Without waiting for the rich gentry to speak, Li Qing shouted again: "Retreat." ”

"Adult ......"

"No thanks, this is what this official should do." Li Qingqing's clear voice was extremely penetrating and shocked people's hearts. gōΠb.ōγg

Then, the wolf-like brocade guard rushed in and directly attacked people.

Li Qing turned a deaf ear to the shouts of grievances that were gradually moving away, and said to Wang Mao, who was jurifying on the side, "Wang Shilang, is this official still fair?" ”

Wang Mao has never seen such a shameless person, even the bandits and bullies know how to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, but this Li Qing is ......

Shameless, so shameless~!

He greeted Li Qing's eighth-generation ancestors in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Li Qincha, there is a secret in this!" ”

"The words are clearly written, and there is no hidden secret." Li Qing's tone was firm.

Wang Mao can see it, this guy just eats dry and doesn't admit it.

"Li Qincha!" His face turned cold, since the soft one can't be good, he can only come to the hard one, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, if the news of yesterday's banquet spreads......"

He didn't continue, waiting for Li Qing to react.

Li Qing looked indifferent, "Go ahead, go and spread it, it's better to go to Jingshi to complain, that way it will spread more widely." ”

He couldn't be arrogant, "Look which of us will die!" ”

"You're ......!" Wang Mao's blood was surging, but he really didn't dare to shout, after all, the banquet was held at his house, and bribery was also a big crime, and his leader was even more unforgivable.

"Li Qincha, you are still young, and your future is immeasurable, and you can't stand out for a businessman." Wang Mao said without being salty or indifferent, "This official will give you a word, you can't go far if you are maverick in officialdom; It is the best choice to be with light and dust. ”

Li Qing also said lightly: "In my opinion, being with the light and dust is the same stream!" ”

Wang Mao's eyes narrowed, "Li Qincha don't forget, you are also a civil official." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The same dynasty is an official, the same is a civil official, and we should be in the same boat." Wang Mao said quietly, "Otherwise, you will only be excluded, and I hope Li Qin will think twice." ”

Li Qing smiled disdainfully: "That's your way of being an official, not me Li Qing." ”

After a pause, "Wang Shilang is also a person who has read books and passed the imperial examination, is this how the sage's book is written?"

Is this the way of an official said by a sage? ”

"Saint?" Wang Mao scoffed.

He looked at Li Qing with pity, like a peerless master who had comprehended the true meaning of martial arts, looking at a stunned young man who had just learned martial arts.

That sense of superiority made him too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Qing.

"One day, you're going to suffer a lot." Wang Mao flicked the sleeves of his robe and left angrily.

Li Qing leaned back on the chair, stunned, helpless and powerless.

This is the root, the root of the decline of the dynasty, the root of its demise.

He saw it, but he was powerless to change it.

It is easy to break the mountain and be a thief, but it is difficult to break the heart......
