It’s okay to write a 50,000-word self-reflection if you want to kill people and punish others. If you go back to summon all the ministers and complain, you can still get enough words. After all, they are all engaged in cultural undertakings. Playing with words is their specialty, but a 50,000-word self-reflection It’s not over yet, and it needs to be copied to all parts of the country. After all, not many people in the Ming Empire were literate, and as long as they were scholars, they would inevitably have some minor problems. The children of the family spent thousands of dollars in brothels, and the family members Pets eat human food, take advantage of various weddings and funerals, piglets give birth to babies, ewes have difficult births, and accept money. We are all unclean people, and no one will laugh at anyone. I went to the Shuangwaiwai bathhouse and bumped into my father-in-law. , this is a secret shared by everyone. If you know it, you will know it, and you will not publicize it. After all, your review may be his tomorrow. It is not embarrassing to be embarrassed in the cultural circle, but you still have to read it to all the people. This is a bit too much, and it is even more embarrassing than a slap in the face.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars are the first priority. Scholars are god-like existences. Scholars are omnipotent and omniscient. They are the practitioners of law and morality. What you see in them is The merits, without any flaws, they are the agents of Saint Kong in the world. They are flawless, but if the official is the representative of the scholars in the world, and also the person who is worshiped by everyone in the world, the official today It is the tomorrow they long for. What they have now will also be what they think they can have tomorrow. They think that because they have read books, they are superior to others.

Under one person, tens of millions of official ministers can make mistakes, and they have to write a self-criticism, and it is also spread to the ears of ignorant people. This is tantamount to pulling out Li Yutang and throwing it on the road, leaving a group of big characters to read. Ignorant country people, holding brushes and copying body art, will invisibly affect the noble status of officials and ministers in the hearts of the people. If one person is humiliated, all the scholars in the world will be humiliated. It turns out that scholars are just like me, and they can also be motivated by wealth. , there are also children who are ineffective, and the so-called diligence and frugality they advocate is just a slogan they shout, and it is the people who are restrained. If scholars have shortcomings in the hearts of the people, they are no longer perfect, they will make mistakes, and there will be no appreciation. Without reverence, the order of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce may still be rewritten.

It didn't take long for Li Yutang to see through Qian Song's ulterior motives. Because of Zhu Xiluo's connivance, the military attachés who had already been suppressed by the civilian officials could not hold their heads up. Now 90% of the people holding important positions in the court are civilian officials, and even some military guards. They are all in the hands of civil servants. The current civil servants are just like those in the late Ming Dynasty. Civil servants can control the court. However, after all, when the Ming Empire was first established, Zhu Xiluo was a young monk in the temple. Over the decades, he expelled the foreigners and overthrew the rebellious people. As the co-lord of the world, Zhu Xiluo is still a myth in the hearts of the officials and the people of the world, and is invincible. And although he suppressed several princes, there are still many former subordinates of the four princes in the Ming Empire Army. The prestige of the four princes is still there. If the civil servants have evil intentions and the four princes give an order, all the armies in the world will be gathered under their account. Who can compete with them? Therefore, Zhu Xiluo was not worried at all about the civil servants getting bigger.

Although the emperor does not have the idea of ​​taking turns to sit in my house today, as a scholar, he cannot let others wean him when he is full. Li Yutang still wants to provide a comfortable warm bed for scholars all over the world, so that they can stay under his wings. Next, he grew up happily, so he didn't want the scholars in the world to lose the opportunity to make contributions and become a master because of him. He couldn't make any mistakes, and he couldn't let the scholars in the world be hurt in the slightest because of himself.

"Pfft" Li Yutang prostrated to the ground, "Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty. The Ming Empire is vast and has hundreds of millions of people. There are even millions of officials. As the official minister, I am in charge of the affairs of the world and inspect all officials. He had to work until late at night every day, so he neglected the education of his children at home and became a bit frivolous. After returning home, I will strictly discipline him to ensure that similar things will not happen again."

"Your Majesty, I can testify that Mr. Li's mansion is still brightly lit at midnight every day, and it is true that he has no time to discipline his children. If there is such a child in my family, I will definitely kill him and let him start a new life. However, it’s the father’s fault if the son doesn’t teach him. If your grandson is like this, you as a grandfather also have a lot to do with it.”

After hearing Duke Zhen Guo's persuasion, Li Yutang's mouth twitched and he felt a little nervous.

What good intentions could Qian Song have? He was the one who proposed the idea of ​​replacing guilt with a fine of silver. He was also the one who proposed writing a letter of apology. It was also he who proposed it and circulated it across the country and read it to the world. At this time, Qian Song answered the call. Everyone can Definitely, the Duke of Zhen is digging a hole again.

Everyone knew Qian Song very well and had to guard against educated gangsters. Qian Song continued, "However, a filial son emerges from under a stick. Being strict with your children is also a way of education. It is also necessary for Lao Li to give your grandson a good beating when he goes back." Yes, swing your fist left, spin right, hit as you want, you can break the limbs, but every injustice has its owner, so I still suggest you break that guy Li Jincheng’s third leg, don’t do it. Reluctant to give up, the beating is about kissing and scolding, as long as the beating does not kill him, we can bet that after beating him, your grandson will definitely become honest and will not go to the brothel again. If it doesn’t work, I am willing to go to the Li Mansion Please forgive me."

The third leg was broken, but he still visited the brothel. The eunuch visited the brothel, which is the tenth wonder in the world. Li Yutang was just like Qian Song, and he voluntarily gave up Qian Song's bad idea. A filial son will come out from under the stick, but a talented man will not come out. Only by studying can you cultivate your moral character and rule the country and bring peace to the world, understand etiquette, justice and integrity, distinguish what you should do and what should not be done, and grow up healthily. Children should be pampered, and spanking is the most stupid and cowardly way, Li Yutang felt that Li Jincheng could inherit some of his good genes, so he could just talk about it when he got home, without intending to be overly harsh.

"Ahem," Zhu Xiluo was a little unhappy when he heard Qian Song's suggestion to destroy Baihualou's sponsor, "Zhenguo Gong, if you are not romantic, your youth is wasted. Everyone has been young. It is not wrong to visit a brothel."

"I almost forgot. Your Majesty is the largest shareholder of Baihualou. Rich people like Li Jincheng are exactly what Baihualou needs. In other words, Zhu Xiluo also hopes that the more people like this, the better." He almost broke it. Qian Song felt sad about the job of the current emperor, "What the emperor taught me is that Du Mu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, met a 13-year-old brothel girl in Yangzhou. He fell in love with her just from one sight, and he wrote an eternal famous poem about it. Chapter, "Farewell" Pingping has been curling up for more than thirteen years, and the cardamom branches are on the head in early February. The spring breeze is ten miles away on Yangzhou Road, and it is better to roll up the bead curtain. Passionate but always seem to be ruthless, but I can't smile in front of the bottle. I still feel sorry for the candle, and hang it for others. I cried until dawn. Women in brothels also have true feelings. I know my mistake. Mr. Li's grandson Li Jincheng's first love worked in Baihualou. It is also a kind of fate. It is better for me to be a matchmaker and help this pair of bitter lovers.",

Qian Song had a matchmaker-like smile on his face and looked at Zhang Songhe, "Mr. Zhang, Baihua Building is under the management of your Etiquette Department. Who is that girl's name? Please take the trouble to find it carefully. Young people nowadays are all Pursuing free love and having lovers in the world finally get married is what you and I both want to see."

The grandson's daughter-in-law of the Minister of Civil Affairs was once an employee of Baihualou. I didn't dare to think about whether this would be a bit too funny. I really didn't dare to think about it. Zhang Songhe had a cold war.

"Ahem." Li Yutang has no objection to having a brothel girl as his confidante. After all, becoming a master, wealth and sex are also a display of power. However, Li Yutang has never had such an idea for a brothel girl to become the future hostess. , "Thank you, Duke Zhenguo, for worrying about me, regardless of the fact that my grandson is still young and has not reached the legal age for marriage. Let's discuss the matter of securing a matchmaker later."

"Uh, Lao Li, it's impossible. I've met your grandson too. He's at least thirty years old. Doesn't he have the idea of ​​​​getting a wife? It can't be," Qian Song pointed down, "Old Li. "If you are sick, you must treat it. Don't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. Don't be embarrassed. Your grandson is still young and has a long way to go." Qian Song looked at Hao Liande again, "Don't inherit the family property all at once like some people." There is no one there. My sister, the miracle doctor, is an expert in this field. Why don't you take your grandson to Songjiang Mansion to have a look, maybe he will be cured."

Hao Liande covered his face and looked at the sky. He was also shot while lying down. He must arrange a card game tonight to win all Qian Song's underpants.

Li Yutang felt pain in his chest and said, forget it if my grandson is old. You also say that my grandson is not good. Why are you so wicked? Your son died early because he did not want it.

"Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. Lao Li, please don't disbelieve the words left by our ancestors. See a doctor when you are sick. It's nothing."

"Shameless Qian Song, you are lacking in virtue. You dug a hole to bury your grandfather. You also want to bury my family Jincheng." Li Yutang, whose heart is too fragile and wants to live for a few more years, refuses to give up money. Song spoke.

Everyone is a scholar, and they all live by their mouths. However, Qian Song has real talent and learning, while Li Yutang is only half-skilled. Besides, Qian Song has been in the circle of military officials for so long, so his skills as a talker can be said to be, Invincible, untouchable, and unable to hide, Li Yutang chose to retreat three feet away.

He looked at Zhu Xiluo again and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of this. If you don't clean up your family, you can sweep away the world. As a minister of the Ministry of official affairs, although you can handle official documents with ease, you are a little lacking in educating the children in the family. It is the veteran who is immersed in the documents. , due to neglect of study, the veteran thought that this was a matter of course, but he was afraid that the writing style was vulgar and the words did not convey the meaning. Therefore, he failed to live up to the idea of ​​​​the Holy Spirit warning the world and not forgetting the past and the future. To avoid making generosity laugh, it’s better not to write a self-reflection letter.”

"What a painful realization, how painful it is to write a self-reflection letter. Lao Li is so cruel. In order not to write a self-reflection letter, he would rather choose to commit suicide." While admiring Li Yutang's courage to fight, Liu Wenzheng and Zhang Songhe were also thinking about what methods they should use. There is no need to write a review.

"The Duke of Zhen said that it was good to punish the old minister with gold. The old minister thought about it. Now the Ming Empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, the treasury is empty, and money is needed both inside and outside. In this way, the old minister is willing to sell the land passed down by his ancestors to raise money." , Li Yutang gritted his teeth and said, "Raise 300,000 taels to support the national treasury."

"Damn it, Lao Li, you are crazy. This deal is not a good deal." Several parties involved were surprised.

Only the Duke of Zhen Guo saw the secret. Li Yutang was willing to take three million taels as long as Li Yutang was not allowed to write a review.

Zhu Xiluo felt a little uncomfortable with the current arrogance and domineering civil servants, but Zhu Xiluo also had considerations. The letter of apology only disgusted Li Yutang and made Li Yutang lose face. However, three hundred thousand taels is a real sum. The good thing is that you can do anything with three hundred thousand taels.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Xiluo felt that this transaction could be done frequently.

Everyone knows what kind of temper Zhu Xiluo is. He is no different from a wealthy landlord. Someone is willing to pay money, and the amount is huge. How can Zhu Xiluo disagree? It is not like sleeping with his wife and sitting on his own throne. Naturally, Zhu Xiluo is a hundred Yes, he nodded immediately when he saw Zhu Xiluo. Qian Song knew that it would be useless to say more, but he still wanted to make Li Yutang suffer. All shops in Songjiang Prefecture were surveyed,"

"Ahem, cough, cough," Li Yutang felt a little pain in his throat when he heard the Duke of Zhen mentioned the shops in Songjiang Mansion. "Your Majesty, the old minister's family has many children. The land of the ancestors and the salary of the minister cannot be maintained, so there are some My son is engaged in business travel, so he also has some shops and real estate. If the old minister is willing, he is willing to pay another 100,000." Looking at the Duke of Zhen, Li Yutang gritted his teeth again, "I am willing to pay another 300,000 taels."

"Master Li cares about the world and donated 600,000 yuan to the imperial court. He is the most outstanding figure in the Ming Empire." The Duke of Zhen bowed, looking up at Li Yutang's generosity, and then looked at Zhu Xiluo, "Your Majesty, I think Master Li can Taking on the title of the first philanthropist of the Ming Empire, it is not excessive to have a plaque as a reward."

Naturally, Duke Zhen Guo would not mention the tax collection in Songjiang Prefecture for no reason. Zhu Xiluo knew it well. The words of Duke Zhen Guo made him gain another three hundred thousand taels. Zhu Xiluo was very happy and looked at Zhen Guo Sir, I asked with my eyes if I could get it together.

The Duke of Zhen Guo waved his hand and shook his head. The water flowed slowly, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon. It was almost over.

"What the Duke of Zhenguo said is absolutely true. You can handle this matter for Xiao Dezi. Remember to use gold paint." As the number one philanthropist in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiluo felt that he should not be too petty.

"Weak ministers obey orders"

"Ahem," Zhu Xiluo looked at Liu Wenzheng and Zhang Songhe, "What do you two dear ladies think?"
