Of course Ning Zhixing knew.
He is a prince, he has received the best education and has read many books.
A closer look at history shows that the collapse of all dynasties was almost always due to the harsh government of the imperial court, which made it difficult for the people to survive.
Even the beginning of the founding of Ningguo today is no exception.
But now that Ningguo has been three hundred years old, it seems that it has also entered that reincarnation.
The powerful and powerful people form cliques and officials to protect each other. If we want to remove those bad policies, how many people will be involved?
A single move can affect the whole body. If he really kills all these people, not to mention how fierce their counterattack will be, even if he really sits in that position, he will become a real loner.
Therefore, even the emperor has to turn a blind eye to some things, or even take a step back to consider the overall situation.
This kind of thing can only be done slowly, at the expense of the interests of some officials, but also to allow those people to have a bite to eat.
"I know how to govern a country better than you!"
Li Chenan shook his head: "No! You don't know at all!"
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the blue sky, "I realized that I was wrong from the beginning!"
Ning Zhixing was startled: "You are indeed wrong, you should not come to Kyoto!"
"You're wrong again. What I mean is that my original idea of taking things easy was a mistake!"
"I live in this world after all. If this world collapses, it will be difficult for me to survive alone."
"And if I really create huge wealth, I will also be the lamb to be slaughtered!"
"Because everything I own can be easily taken away by those in power, such as the emperor's decree or even a private army sent by your second prince. I can only watch helplessly. Everything I have done is just I will make wedding clothes for you.”
Ning Zhixing narrowed his eyes, "Is this what you are worried about?"
"If I ascend the throne as emperor and become rich all over the world, why should I look at your little wealth?"
Li Chenan laughed, "If the national treasury is as empty as it is now for a long time... there will be only one word left in your world: poverty."
"Once a person is poor, his eyes will really shine when he sees silver. This is not just the case for ordinary people, even your second prince will be the same when the time comes!"
"Like the present moment."
"Last year, Jiangnan's autumn grain was robbed, and Ji Tai raised the national tax by 20%. This is the plunder in Chiguoguo!"
"In the nearly twenty years that Ji Tai has been Prime Minister, Ningguo's taxes have tripled!"
"Aside from robbing people of their lives, what else will you do?"
"What are the consequences of this?"
He pointed to the wasteland again:
"Why is this fertile farmland abandoned?"
"What does the field mean to farmers? It was originally their lifeblood! But now... they don't even want it anymore."
"It is conceivable that in the entire Ning Kingdom, there are deserted places like this, and how many people have left their homes like this one?"
"When those in power enjoy a life of feasting and feasting every day, when the whole country has no more human fireworks... Your Highness, water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it... Although Ningren has a tough character, a rabbit can also be driven into a hurry. It bites!"
"You, maybe you can sink into the folk, go for a walk and have a look, to understand what Ningguo is like now?"
Before Ning Zhixing could answer, Li Chenan raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't!"
"Because you are a prince, His Highness, and you may be able to ascend the throne as emperor in the future. You are aloof from the bottom of your heart! You still don't look at the people of the world. You still only think that they are the sheep you raise. They That’s how it should be…”
"So in the past three days, I have thought a lot and reflected on myself a lot. I admit that I am a person who likes money, but I finally discovered that I still have a bottom line in my heart. Some money cannot be earned!"
"And I am a little different from these farmers who can still tolerate things. The wealth I have... I will never let others take it away."
"You can understand that my fate is up to me!"
"So the Supervision Department will cooperate with the Imperial City Department to investigate to the end,"
Li Chenan kept his posture straight and looked at the second prince with a righteous face, "I don't care who is ultimately found responsible, as long as I am still the deputy director of the Imperial City Division... If the law cannot be blamed, you believe me, the Imperial City Division The ghosts will also seek their lives!"
"No one can escape!"
"It's not for me, Li Chenan, to retaliate, but for the common people and the country!"
"It's to kill all those maggots that are sucking the people's marrow and plundering the people's fat..."
Ning Zhixing was shocked. He took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Li Chenan.
He understood what Li Chenan said, and he also understood Li Chenan's attitude.
He did not deny Li Chenan's views, because he agreed with some of them, but he could not act as radically as Li Chenan.
As the emperor in charge of imperial power, he needs the officials in the temple to obey his orders, because these dogs are needed to manage the sheep in the world.
A dog must be well-raised to be obedient, so you have to give the dog a bone once in a while.
But Li Chenan wants to kill the dog...
“If the water is clear, there will be no fish!”
Li Chenan raised his eyebrows: "If the water is muddy, it will only be good for fishing in troubled waters!"
"So you have made a decision?"
"right!"
"You will become everyone's enemy!"
"so what?"
Ning Zhixing pondered for three breaths, "I now believe that you are really a scholar."
"You have no idea how hard it is to swim upstream!"
"I admit that your ideals are very high, but do you know the final outcome of someone as idealistic as you in Ningguo for three hundred years?"
"Everyone is drowned by the tide. Even Prime Minister Shang a hundred years ago, he killed many people, but that was based on the fact that he won over many people at the same time!"
"He did save Ningguo, but at the same time, Ningguo has another Jiangnan Shang family... Go to the Imperial City and find out why the Jiangnan Shang family became another big family in Ningguo!"
"Because, those are the promises that were made, and they are also the benefits that the group of people who are attached to Prime Minister Shang should get!"
He turned around, took two steps, turned back, and said angrily: "Actually, you really should go to Taiyuan University to become a doctor. That would be great!"
"For the sake of the common people and the country... If you go to teach and educate people for the sake of the common people and the country, you might be able to teach a few useful ministers!"
"You have no control over your destiny? You simply don't know how high the sky is!"
"I, the king, am deeply disappointed in you!"
Li Chenan also looked at Ning Zhixing and raised his eyebrows: "What, then the business will not be done?"
Ning Zhixing moved forward, "If you have different paths, don't conspire against each other... You have killed all the people, so what's the point of doing business?"
"Then your Highness, walk slowly!"
"You...you!"
Ning Zhixing turned around again and shook his head: "He who understands current affairs is a hero. No wonder your ex-fiancée took back the marriage certificate. She did the right thing!"
Li Chenan just smiled, because in these three days, he had indeed thought through many issues clearly.
For example, this is a society that has not yet established the rules of the game. In other words, those rules are only useful to the people, but for those in power, they can be trampled on at will!
For example, this is a society that values fists but not reason. How can these nonsense be so complicated nowadays? It's just a cut with a knife.
After all, it all comes down to the strength you possess.
After all, we have to get rid of the shackles of past life rules and not be affected by too many past life concepts.
In a world like this, men should be more cruel to others!
His eyes gradually became piercing, and he held the horsetail grass in his mouth.
After all, this world is not what you want it to be, so... crush it!
Rebuild it again!
Since then, Li Chenan's mentality has undergone a huge transformation over the past six months.
He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed all over. He no longer needed to look forward and backward, and there was no need to make any more superficial remarks.
In troubled times, let’s see whose knife is sharper!
Business needs to be done in order to reconstruct Ningguo's business model.
But now...the knife in his hand is the most important thing!
In the sight of Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan, they suddenly felt that the back of the figure standing in front suddenly became straighter.
It's also a bit sharper.
At this moment, there were noisy voices coming from the official road nearby.
The three people turned and looked over.
It was a group of business travelers.
Next to the group of caravans there was a donkey.
A black donkey.
This black donkey was carrying a man wearing a bamboo hat and was walking lazily and slowly.
