Chapter 54 Soldiers and Officials (5)

Li Boyu encountered many things in his life, and it was the first time he had been warned by his family. As for the source of the warning, Sima Kao or the Zhao Guan family, it was no longer important. The old man was angry and said loudly: "Is he going to threaten me?"

"Sima Gong preached, when things have come to such a point, why should it be bad? The rules for retirement are clearly stated that if you are considered a serious demerit, your salary will be reduced. If you are reported to be criticized after being criticized, your house will be gone after retirement. Are so many people fools? There are reasons for everyone not talking." Li Wan analyzed the situation in the capital.

Li Boyu stopped talking for the time being. He didn't expect that his family would give him such a reason. The house is indeed worth a lot of money, but has a lot of money even the minimum integrity been bought? Under such anger, Li Boyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Did Sima Kao threaten you?"

Li Wan did not answer immediately. She was silent for a while before saying: "Although the official family does not like to implicate it, the official family is often very energetic."

After saying this, Li Boyu remembered Shi Miyuan and Yu Tianci's family who were killed not long ago. When Shi Miyuan and Yu Tianci colluded, he said that if the actions of the two were known, it would be the crime of clan punishment. Therefore, the Zhao Guan family publicly used the case of Shi Miyuan colluding with Empress Dowager Yang to murder Han Tuozhou in the Jinshi exam questions. The smart people in the Shi family and the Yu family felt that the direction of the wind was wrong. Before the Zhao Guan family closed the net, the smart people in the two families began to prepare to escape from the Song Dynasty and ran away before the officials were about to seize power.

However, the Shi family and the Yu family are not both smart people. Some people think that their bloodlines are far away, and some think that the officials will not take action, so these people are in trouble. The Zhao official family, as Shi Miyuan said back then, imposed a clan punishment on the Shi family and the Yu family.

Li Boyu did not think that Zhao Jiaren would be generous to the enemy for such an official family. As far as Li Boyu knew, the Zhao official family was very cruel to the enemy inside and outside.

Not knowing what to say, Li Wan got up and said goodbye. Li Boyu's wife was bringing in at this time. When she saw Li Wan leaving like this, Madam Li was very surprised. What surprised Mrs. Li even more was that Li Boyu didn't eat either, so she saw him stand up and go straight to the bedroom without saying a word, and actually fell asleep like this.

Zhao Jiaren never expects them not to exist for the opponents. Therefore, Zhao Jiaren is always ready to fight against the opponents, just like Li Boyu, who doesn't even make Zhao Jiaren feel interested.

At this time, the Ministry of Personnel had sent a list of officials and cadres who were close to retirement age. Liu Meng was a little frowning, and he said restlessly: "Officials, the pensions of these people are not small."

"Yeah." Zhao Jiaren responded. These problems are his biggest enemies. If there is sufficient fiscal revenue, all problems are not problems. Is it difficult to solve problems with money? The problem is that there is not enough money.

"Officials, these people are only required to give them one portion of money..."

Zhao Jiaren interrupted Liu Meng, "Since these people can't do anything, the people who do things have to give them another money. And what are the benefits of letting them sit in a place and having a meal for nothing?"

"But the court has no investments now. The official and the Maritime Bureau have used it cleanly. Unless you can open two or three Sado Islands in Japan, we will really have no money." Liu Meng, a cadre-born cadre, knows much more about the overall situation than officials.

"This little money is nothing. Just wait for another year and the houses in Hangzhou will start to be sold, and they will make money back in a blink of an eye."

"Who would pay so much money in Hangzhou?" Liu Meng was very dissatisfied with this.

"That may not be. The key is to see how to pay. And the current important matter is not just such a small amount of officials. Even if you pay more money, the money of these people is enough. There are two major matters at the moment. The first is the production and taxation of the Huanghuai Plain. The second is the expansion in the South China Sea. I have been operating in the South China Sea for so long, and I can no longer use such simple means, but I have to dig deeper."

"Dig deep? What gold and silver are there underground?" Liu Meng immediately became interested. Since he became the owner of Sado Island, he has had a deep respect for the island. Even the most barren island may contain extremely valuable things.

Zhao Jiaren was helpless about this era of estrangement. In the 21st century, when it comes to digging deep, people can think that most of them are 'digging potential', rather than thinking about specific mining. So Zhao Jiaren directly explained in words Liu Meng could understand, "Do you think you are short of money now?"

"Yes." Liu Meng answered simply.

"Lack of money is just an appearance. The most important thing now is how to issue money payment. That is to say, after I issue money payment, are there any goods that can correspond to money payment? If the things that can be shipped back in the South China Sea every year double, we can easily issue tens of millions of money payments. The pensions of these officials and cadres are only a few dollars, and it is easy to settle the accounts."

Liu Meng is already a very experienced cadre under Zhao Jiaren. Even so, he felt that his thinking could not keep up with the Zhao Guan family's ideas. After thinking about it, Liu Meng still felt that he didn't understand. He couldn't help but recall the past, when Liu Meng could not understand why the Zhao Guan family had to establish the concept that the earth under his feet was a ball.

At that time, Liu Meng thought about whether the ground under his feet was round and had a hair-related relationship with Liu Meng. Over the years, Liu Meng didn’t know that the ground under his feet was round and wouldn’t he still eat, sleep and grow up healthily?

Recalling that similar feeling, Liu Meng decided to change his mind. He continued to ask, "Official family, what do you think I should do."

"You should do the errands of the Ministry of Personnel well and find out those capable officials and cadres. Only officials and cadres can do it, and only officials and cadres know what we are going to do, can we accomplish what we are going to do."

"What exactly do the official family want to do?" Liu Meng asked.

"Of course I want to build a country where everyone can live a good life. I want this country to reason and no one will be bullied. Good people can be rewarded. Have you ever heard of a saying that justice that comes to be late is not justice. I even hope that justice can exist in this country."

Liu Meng was already confused. The Zhao Guanjia said very sincerely, and it sounded good. The only problem was that Liu Meng did not understand why Zhao Guanjia said these inexecutable words. So Liu Meng asked: "What should the official do?"
