Chapter 2204 The Real World 25
Daixiang sneered, with a cold sadness in her tone, "Disaster relief? That money has long been in the pockets of corrupt officials, how can we people have any share. During the first year of drought, the government not only did not reduce or exempt taxes, but instead increased it. Having two tiers of taxation has made our lives even worse.”
Hua Ziyun said angrily: "How unreasonable! Such officials should be killed. Did the court let them fool them like this?"
Daixiang smiled again and said: "No, this matter has become a big one. The top dispatched people down and arrested many officials, but the major officials who committed the crime all escaped because there were people above. became a high-ranking official in the DPRK.”
Hua Ziyun was very angry, "Who is it?"
No, he must investigate this matter, he must report the matter to the emperor, and let him deal with these black sheep.
Daixiang said the names of several officials.
Hua Ziyun silently memorized the names of those officials in his heart.
"Have you ever blamed the emperor?" Hua Ziyun asked.
"Strange, of course it's strange. The emperor didn't know who he was, and most of the people in our hometown died. Now I can't see a single relative anymore."
Bei Yutang said in a timely manner, "A failed emperor can easily be fooled by the people below. The officials below only need to cover the emperor's ears and eyes to show him what they want to show him. As a qualified Emperor, you must see and listen for yourself, instead of blindly listening to others. Just like, as the emperor's right and left hands, it should be the emperor's ears and eyes, but when the two ears and eyes collude, the emperor finally How's it going?"
Hua Ziyun listened to what she said silently, taking his words into his heart little by little.
If one day, he becomes the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty and becomes the emperor, he must be a wise monarch, not a foolish monarch who is fooled by the courtiers.
"A country is good or bad, depending on the emperor. For the common people, whoever can keep them fed and clothed is the emperor." Bei Yutang concluded at the end.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, let's go climbing the mountain happily. Whoever climbs to the pavilion halfway up the mountain today, I can grant him a request."
When the three of Daixiang heard this, their eyes lit up.
"start."
Following Bei Yutang's order, the three began to rush up the mountain. The first person to rush to the pavilion halfway up the mountain finally fell on the kid Mo.
"Mo'er, what do you want?" Bei Yutang asked with a smile.
"Mother, I haven't thought about it yet. When I think about it, I will tell my mother."
"Well, that's fine. Mother will remember it for you first."
They traveled around the mountains all day and waited until it was dark before they got home. On this day, it is only Hua Ziyun who has the most to say.
When Hua Ziyun returned to his temporary residence, his face was not very good.
Governor Fang saw that the Eighth Prince looked bad and asked nervously, "Eighth Prince, but what happened?"
Hua Ziyun looked at him, "It's okay. I'm just a little tired from playing."
"If you have anything, you must tell me." Governor Fang always felt that something was wrong with the Eighth Prince who came back today.
Hua Ziyun nodded.
On the way back, he thought back carefully, and found that what he saw and heard was given by them, and he didn't know the real life of the people at all.
