After all, it is the New Year, even if the past year of life is difficult, it is about to pass, in order to have a good hope for the coming year, many Chinese people will stop working all year round on this day, turn out their best clothes from the bottom of the wardrobe and wear them on their bodies, with a smile on their faces, forget their troubles, and take an old family

The beggars scattered on the streets in the past are gone, and everything is a bustling scene, but if you look closely at the bustling crowd on the street, it is actually distinct, and there is an invisible chasm that divides people of different ranks into different groups.

Tall, sturdy, fashionable and straight-dressed, walking in the middle of the road with their heads tilted must be foreigners; most of the wealthy Chinese, still dressed in exotic robes and horse coats, and those who follow their families along the roadside everywhere; those with dark faces, sleek figures, and dark coarse cloth clothes, who walk avoided, must be ordinary citizens.

On such days, beggars and exiles were not seen in Jinchang City.

Jinchang City, located in the center of the essence area of China, the ancestors built the city because of the rich copper mines, and then because of the topography of the tiger, extending in all directions, becoming the capital of many dynasties in China, in the history of the humanities flourished, there are many ancient buildings, celebrity relics.

Jingcizhai and the disciples of the Demon Gate walked on both sides, the Guo Lukou in the middle is very good, and they are familiar with allusions, pointing to a certain place casually, talking about the humanistic anecdotes there like a number of treasures, so that people unconsciously appreciate the profound historical heritage of Jinchang City, and the atmosphere is not embarrassing.

Yan Fuyu's sudden question seemed very abrupt. On the one hand, this question is too serious, and in such a peaceful atmosphere, it is indeed a bit disappointing; on the other hand, the subjects of her questions are all young people, even if they are from a family of eunuchs, Guo Lu, who will inevitably embark on a career in the future, is now just a hairy young man, and it doesn't matter what he thinks of society! Not to mention the Demon Gate, which has always paid attention to the pursuit of individuality.

Sure enough, Shui Xinmei pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "What can you think? There are too many corrupt officials! When I am successful, I will kill them all and replace them with good people, and the lives of the common people will naturally be better." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Most corrupt officials are just a symptom of social chaos, and obviously they do not touch the core contradictions. Besides, even if all the officials are good people, the lives of the common people may not be good.

A few years ago, the Kyushu government issued a decree encouraging industry and commerce, but it was difficult to move an inch in some closed counties and cities in the west; many former county magistrates and current county magistrates believe that in order to make the people's lives stable, the most important thing is to build water conservancy and persuade farmers to persuade mulberry trees; as for those businessmen, they are nothing more than treacherous people who seek profits! If they don't confiscate their property, they will be cheaper! Factories will be even more unmanageable! I have heard that in many places in the east, because of the factories, the common people have begun to become uneasy about their duties, their customs have become corrupt, and people's hearts have fluctuated! They have not even planted fields! If anyone under their rule dares to do this, they must be tied up and paraded in the streets! When the common people heard this, they shouted in unison, Lord Qingtian!

Further back, in the summer, there was a great drought in Xichuan, no rain in March, the people were poor, and a county magistrate also tried to save himself, personally took the stage to worship the sky and ask for rain, vowed not to rain, not to rain, not to eat, the law was done for a week, the county magistrate died of hunger strike, and the festival moved the heavens and the earth! Although a very small number of people questioned it, believing that this move was undesirable, not only absurd but also that the county magistrate did not perform his duties, but delayed the fight against drought, and unexpectedly poked the hornet's nest and was attacked by righteous people all over the world, the Kyushu government finally pinched its nose and issued a commendation order to the county magistrate, and also called on officials all over the world to learn from this spirit of working hard and serving the people wholeheartedly.

For a time, there were five or six county magistrates in Xichuan, who set up a high platform, and even one guy almost tied up his wife and children and set fire to the sky, but fortunately, the rain finally fell, preventing the farce.

In Huaxia, no matter what you do or what evil consequences you cause, as long as your heart is good, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven. Of course, if you are unfortunate enough to become a wicked person, no matter what you do, it is wrong, and you must fight back.

Shui Xinmei is a simple-minded Chinese man in the final analysis, naively believing that as long as a good person is a good official, everything is not a problem, and the common people are not living well, just because the traitor is in power!

Song Jingzhou has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and sometimes he thinks about these questions, he faintly feels that what Shui Xinmei said is biased, things are not so simple, but he doesn't know where she is wrong.

Guo Lu was excited in his heart, he knew that this Jingcizhai was actually very influential in the political circles, and they were seen in many dynasties in history, this was an opportunity, if he could get their favor and support, he would definitely make a big difference in the future.

What Huaxia wants most is thorough reform from top to bottom. Guo Lu brushed his thoughts and said: "At present, some of the government's piecemeal reform decrees cannot form a joint force at all, but are constantly eroding the prestige of the government. ”

The sisters of Jingci Zhai showed a look of careful listening, and every person with lofty ideals knew that the Huaxia Kingdom had reached the point where it was indispensable, but the key was what kind of reform was called, how to reform, and to what extent the reform should go.

"It's impossible to push reform from the bottom up. Guo Lu has traveled to many countries to study, and his vision is broad, he said in a deep voice: "China lacks enough emerging interest classes, and the quality of the people is also doomed, and they are more suitable to be passive recipients." ”

"So there's a lack of momentum for reform below. Guo Lu smiled bitterly.

There were a lot of words that Guo Lukou didn't understand, Shui Xinmei frowned, she really didn't like to listen to this, but when she saw that her lover listened carefully, she endured it.

Ming Chongxuan and Yan Fuyu glanced at each other, to be honest, although they also noticed that the world had undergone profound changes outside of China, they were still accustomed to the thinking under the Chinese tradition cultivated by their teachers, and lacked sufficient understanding of modern words such as interests, quality, and reform.

"At present, officials are basically vested interests left over from the previous dynasty, and they cannot think of it, and they will not take the initiative to harm their own interests. ”

"Only by relying on those in power at the top, clear enough, tenacious enough, relying on an iron fist to forcibly promote various reform measures, strengthen education, and cultivate a new generation can put China on the right track of a virtuous circle. ”

"Do you think today's leaders can do it?" asked Ming Chongxuan, frowning.

"What does Brother Song think?" Guo Lu smiled slightly, but did not answer directly.

"Can't!" Song Jingzhou didn't hesitate and said, "The army is not in their hands. ”u
