Chapter 630: Shengdou Xiaomin

"It can't be regarded as fighting against the government—"

Wei Yuan frowned: "I'm working on Tianshan Mountain, so I can't help the folks to gather."

At this time, I am really envious, that Central Cloud Land. Under the rule of the Great Shang Dynasty, most of them were obedient people with honest temperament.

Where is Hongcheng like them, there are so many famous places!

"They are all dissatisfied! Now these people's monthly wages have risen to fifty taels, and they still refuse to give up. How will this stop—"

Kong Rui became more and more silent when he heard the words. The monthly fee is fifty taels, which is equivalent to half a first-order beast crystal, almost five times that of Central Cloud Land.

I realized that I still underestimated Wei Yuan a little bit. This person said that one year's salary can support 3,000 people. If it is calculated by the standard of Hongcheng, how much should it be?

Suddenly he realized that what Wei Yuan just said was probably meant to show off to him. Mostly because he didn’t want to be underestimated by someone from ‘Middle Earth’——

"Exactly! If things go on like this, I'm afraid there will be no one farming in the village."

"Now there are not many people who are willing to cultivate the fields honestly. Just yesterday, the price of grain per shi has risen to 110 yuan! This is only relying on the massive purchases from him to barely stabilize the price of grain. "

"Sigh! I heard that in the past dynasties of the Central Cloud Land, the country was established by farming and warfare. But now that I am in Tianshan, I have given this important task of the military and the country to outsiders.

"It is said that Prime Minister Ren has proposed in the Senate to ban the purchase of grain as much as possible!"

"Ah! Food prices are going to skyrocket now—"

"However, I heard that recently some spiritual masters are studying how to use spiritual formations and mechanism techniques to help people cultivate the fields."

"Mechanism technique? Isn't this the Mohist's specialty? Is it Kong Qizong? Speaking of which, His Majesty is going to set up a Taiyuan in Gantian Mountain, imitating the system of Middle Earth. It seems that he is also planning to open an engineering course, and make the Mohism's technique a compulsory one." Class. In the future, all people in the Ministry of Industry must be born in this department."

Kong Rui was in a daze when he heard the discussion of these officials. The monthly salary of fifty taels and the food price of one hundred and ten cash were actually very low.

The national policy set by Ren Bo should be to attract more people to work in agriculture.

But without these absurd decrees, this would not be the case.

Like a big merchant, since the sage came to the throne, there has been enough grain almost every year.

It's just that the people there don't seem to have the wealth of Tianshan——

There are also gentlemen who don't talk about profit, these people seem to have read some books, why are they so vulgar?

In addition, it is a good thing to build an imperial school, but what kind of work class is taught to teach the skills of the Mohist school is not enough, which is a bit confusing.

In this world, only Confucianism can truly rule the world!

Those few people were talking, the topic was running farther and farther. However, after half an hour, they may also feel impatient, and each of them snorted coldly: "These people are really endless. If I want to change my previous temperament, I must make them look good—"

"It's true that they are troublemakers. Finally, we must find a way to make them suffer!"

"Actually, if it's just these people, it's okay, and there won't be any troubles. What is annoying is that someone is secretly fanning the flames with malicious intentions."

The other person shook his head and said: "Please be careful! If someone hears this, if you tell those counselors to know, it will be a big trouble for you and me. These people are worrying about not having a chance. To attract the attention of those foolish people. It has been almost three years, and I am preparing for re-election recently—”

Kong Rui finally couldn't help but said: "I think those soldiers are all elite soldiers, why not let them forcefully disperse these rioters?"

As these words were spoken, the surroundings were silent. The few people who accompanied him all had strange expressions.

Ren Bo didn't answer silently, and the person next to him smiled and said, "I used to do it in several cities directly under the Tianshan Mountains, and some people did it, but the current situation is very difficult!"

Kong Rui was even more puzzled, difficult? Could it be that the emperor didn't like it? Although it is good to love the people, it is necessary to distinguish the object. Good people and bad people must not be treated as one.

Besides, scholar-bureaucrats like them are the pillars of the country!

How can you be so harsh on some rioters?

At this time, Ren Bo suddenly sighed again: "Just a few days ago, your majesty signed another decree. All the city councilors now have the responsibility of questioning and supervising officials. You can impeach a city leader, if the votes are too high Halfway through, I, the magistrate, will not be able to continue—”

The implication is that it is very bleak. The rest of the officials also shook their heads with emotion, as if they were quite troubled.

In Kong Rui's heart, however, he sank completely to the bottom of the valley, and his last hope was also being shattered.

Such absurd governance is simply the greatest joke in the world. Going backwards and backwards, how many more years can the current state of the Tianshan Mountains be maintained?

No wonder, many famous Confucianists in Dashang, whenever they mentioned Qiantian Mountain, they would use a very disdainful tone.

I thought it was hearsay from these human beings, but I was afraid that the words were incomplete and untrue. But when he actually came to Donglin, he realized that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

As far as he could see, that man was indeed hard to call the real Mingjun.

The prospect of Yao'er marrying such a monarch as a concubine is really bleak.

After contemplating for a moment, Kong Rui suddenly got out of the car. This place is so congested that it may not be possible to pass through for four or five hours. If he wants to see Kong Yao as soon as possible, he might as well walk there.

※※※※

At the same time, above the sea of ​​clouds in Qiantian Mountain. The middle-aged Confucian snorted displeasedly, and was about to leave this airspace.

When he was leaving, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at Zong Shou with an extremely cautious expression.

"I'm just a foreign minister. There are some things that are inconvenient to say to the king. However, I have been traveling in the lower reaches of the world recently, but I have a deep feeling, and I can't say a few words in my heart. The monarch has a system of consultation, which is similar to My Dashang Feng Xianguan was a good thing in the first place, but now your majesty is holding the power upside down in the hands of the people, and the people are elected as councilors, and it is a shame to use this counselor as a supervisor!"

Zong Shou raised his eyebrows, wishing to hear the details. Just listening to this person is not polite, he still said with a straight face: "The people are ignorant, they only know about promotion. They are short-sighted, and most of them are uneducated, so they are easy to be fooled and instigated by others. You can know that those counselors who are now suppressing Ganfeng , Most of them are controlled by those powerful families? In most places, election bribery is the norm. Five buckets of chestnut rice can buy one vote—”

Zong Shou shook his head secretly when he heard it. This was not the first time someone said this to him.

This kind of thing is really annoying. It's just that if this is not the case, he will ignore politics all the year round. I'm afraid that in a few years, the family fortune will be ruined by those civil servants under him.

With the presence of the Senate Hall, these people still have some scruples.

I was already very poor, and I was stolen by these people to get some. I'm afraid there will be nothing left in his internal library.

He was smiling on his face, as if appreciating the great Confucian's words.

"Shengdou Xiaomin? What you said is very reasonable! It's just that there are some things, since Gu knows it's right, he can't not do it because the process is difficult."

He also looked solemn, and acted righteously: "The people's wisdom has not yet been developed, so I will try my best to let them know the etiquette and righteousness. In the end, I will be the people of heaven and the people, and I will not bend my waist for five buckets of rice—"
