Chapter 447 Bad Government

Of course Li Chenan did not return to Kyoto.

A group of seven people were walking on the official road to Zhouzhuang.

He still rode the same horse with Xiao Baozi, and still had one out of free, which of course surprised Mr. Su and Butler Liu.

But this kind of thing cannot be asked.

When Mr. Liu comes, this is the relationship between the couple.

We walked together for two days.

Whenever he was playing the tip and resting, Butler Liu would arrange food and accommodation for Li Chenan and the other two, and of course he would not help but say more to Li Chenan.

It is obvious that this butler Liu knows a lot about the officialdom in Jiangnan.

Compared with the information in the Imperial City Division, what he said to Li Chenan was nothing.

Li Chenan knows many things.

But he was still listening very carefully, just to confirm with the information.

When Mr. Liu came, this young man who had just left the hidden sect was curious about official affairs.

So he just said it casually—

After all, people in the world are wandering around, and most of them will not pay attention to the officials in the temple.

I don't care.

Because the relationship between the officials in the officialdom is too complicated, and you have no idea who the big tree is leaning on behind them.

There was once a hero who was a hero who was a hero and righteous man, and his whole family slaughtered the whole family of a corrupt official and magistrate in Hui County. What was the result?

As a result, he was wanted by the entire Jiangnan government and offered a reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver, but was eventually betrayed by people in the martial arts world.

It is said that the knight was killed by a thousand swords, and the body was finally hung on the city wall and dried!

This is the intention of killing a chicken to warn the monkey.

It is also a warning to people in the world to abide by the rules!

"The so-called rules of the world mean that officials cannot be killed. Even if they are known to the world, they will be sent by the court to move them."

Butler Liu shook his head, poured a glass of wine for Li Chen'an, and smiled and said, "This is to call his own son to beat him. If others beat him... that would be very disrespectful!"

"Even if they escape to the ends of the world, they will be punished!"

"So, when you walk around the world, you must not provoke those officials... You can surrender to them, you can also act according to their orders, but you cannot be offended because the authority of the government cannot be offended!"

Li Chenan grinned: "To put it this way, the officials of our Ningguo have such toughness and should not be bullied by other countries."

"Young Master is still thinking too simple."

"For the outside world... Ning Ren is actually very tough at heart, otherwise the Western Regions coalition would have destroyed the country if it invaded a hundred years ago."

"Just now those officials in the temple..."

Butler Liu laughed at himself, "Let's drink and don't talk about those things."

Li Chenan and Butler Liu drank a glass and suddenly asked, "Now, someone has changed from the temple in Ningguo. Ji Tai's gangsters have all been eradicated. I think they will get better after the interaction."

Butler Liu pondered for a moment, "I'm not hiding it from my son, I originally wanted to go to Kyoto with the second son, and I hope to meet the Regent."

"Oh, what's the matter with him?"

"Why……"

Butler Liu sighed: "This should not be spoken to the young master, but when he walked with the young master these two days, he thought that the young master was an open-minded person and just chatted. The young master finished it as soon as he heard it."

"That's right, let's be the Su family. In the south of the Yangtze River, they are considered law-abiding businessmen... After all, the Su family has a very strict family tradition. Even though there have been many talents in the family and some of them are officials in the court, the Su family never relies on the fact that there are people in the court to bully the market."

"The Su family still adheres to doing business fairly and reasonably, and uses the money earned to provide the Su family's children with their earned money to do research."

“It has been like this for hundreds of years.”

"But since the Shang family came to Pingjiang City... the Prime Minister Shang a hundred years ago was the one who saved Ningguo, who was in danger at the time. Of course, his contribution was indispensable!"

"As a century-old family in Pingjiang City, the Su family was very welcome to the arrival of the Shang family, and even helped many of the Shang family at the beginning... For example, teaching Shang people how to do business, teaching them how to start textile workshops, and even teaching them how to cooperate with farmers to plant mulberry trees and silkworms, etc.."

"When the head of the Su clan came at that time, Ningguo was able to survive, the Su clan could still do business and make money in Jiangnan, and the Su clan's children could still study and study with peace of mind. This was almost all the kindness of Prime Minister Shang."

"Then of course we have to help Prime Minister Shang's descendants."

"This help made a big mistake!"

"The Su family never expected the rapid rise of Shang family, but raised the butcher knife to the Su family!"

"After Ji Tai became prime minister, the dock of Jiangnan Road was replaced by the current Yu Wanzhi... The original dock of the dock fell down and was slaughtered by the bandits on the way to Beijing!"

"The first thing Yu Wanzhi did after taking office was to gather merchants from all over Jiangnan and hold a so-called Jiangnan market rectification..."

"The Jiangnan is rich in silk and there are many silk workshops, among which the Su family's silk workshop has the largest number."

"These were built up by the Su family for hundreds of years, but at that conference, Yu Wanzhi collected all the silk workshops into Jiangnan Weaving... Cao Fa, the weaving doctor who is weaving in Jiangnan, is the confidant promoted by Yu Wanzhi."

"The people cannot fight with officials after all."

"The head of the family handed over all the huge property to Jiangnan Weaving. It was originally agreed that Jiangnan Weaving would give Su 30% of the silk share... Of course, this is much less than the previous production of his workshop, but the head of the family can still make a profit after calculating, so the matter is given up."

"But two years later, just like Zhaohua in about six years, the share of silk for the Su family by Jiangnan weaving dropped to 20%... In another two years, only 10% left!"

"Those who have shared the money have all fallen into Shang's hands."

"Then the head of the family heard from his old friend that all this was the idea that Shang family gave Yu Wanzhi. Shang had been peeking at Su's family's family for a long time!"

Li Chenan frowned and interrupted and asked, "I heard that Shang's main purpose of making money is the canal transportation."

Butler Liu did not realize the suddenness of Li Chenan's words.

"The transportation of canal has been happening in the past decade."

"After our Emperor Ningguo ran to practice Taoism, Ji Tai... This is not a bad thing about him after he died. Many merchants in Jiangnan have complained about him for a long time, but they dare not speak out!"

"Ji Tai, how can he know how to govern the country!"

"He just knows how to play with power!"

"He had no idea how important business is to a country. What he thought was to stabilize his power and use this power to make more money! Use the money he had made to feed the dog officials he raised!"

"As for the life and death of merchants, the life and death of the people..."

Butler Liu drank a drink alone and smashed his mouth, "Who cares Ji Tai and the corrupt officials he promoted?"

"This is finally overturned. The policies issued by the Regent now, especially the emphasis on boosting industry and commerce, are absolutely correct."

"But this wind did not seem to blow out Yujing City...at least the land in Jiangnan is no different from before."

"I and the second son intend to go to Beijing to meet the Regent. All they think is that the Regent is not aware of the situation in Jiangnan or the situation in the country."

"If the Regent is really so enlightened, we should report to him the bad policies of Jiangnan, which is also the bad policies of the whole country!"

"Otherwise, everything the Regent did... the government orders did not leave Yujing City, it was just a change of soup or medicine."

Butler Liu shook his head and sighed, and said:

"The Su family... is not hiding the prince, the Su family is now selling their property."

"But those corrupt officials, and Shang, made a huge fortune. They were not punished and were still free and happy..."

"This is unfair!"

Li Chenan nodded, "Well, this is not fair!"

"Come on, we'll do this glass of wine...it will eventually brighten this day."

As soon as Li Chenan finished speaking, a bird walked in through the window and landed on Xiao Baozi's shoulder.
