666 Bureaucracy

Hate is easily aroused. Xiao Letian has always been in a highly guarded state for the entire Qing Dynasty bureaucratic group. He knew too much about what the group of officials who were connected were, and there was no limit on what they did for the benefit of the matter.

Corruption and bribery, clever robbery, are considered good officials. In serious cases, they will be framed, destroy the family, and fall into the white pile of silver, but they will never be able to get it out.

The bureaucratic group's exploitation of the people is actually far more severe than the imperial power, because the bureaucratic group's desire to monetize power is much greater than that of the emperor.

Xiao Letian knew this truth and many people were disobeyed. They would give a lot of crazy actions of the kings who lost their country. Jie, Zhou, Sui and Emperor Yang of Jie, Zhou, Sui and others are examples that often appear in their mouths.

But in thousands of years of imperial history, is it like this? When public opinion is controlled by Confucian scholars, when propaganda rights to low-level people are swept by bureaucrats, who should those illiterate people believe?

Is it an emperor who is so arrogant and out of reach, or a scholar who is close to the same village and township, the answer is obvious.

"Master, I understand what you mean. Are you trying to say whether the imperial power has been swept up by the bureaucrats and has become a shield for them to do bad things?" Emperor Tongzhi and King Tai have now become good friends. The two sat together and listened to Xiao Letian teach them some imperial mind skills that are difficult to learn.

Bai Tian's speech was a huge success. Xiao Letian's heart-breaking words to the bureaucratic class made Lin Yuanmiao faint. He knew that this hat was too big, and the Lin family would probably always be the target of public criticism.

The bureaucratic wreckage of industry and commerce even hindered the industrialization development. This serious crime was taken by Xiao Letian. The crime of corruption has escalated to a dispute over ideological consciousness. The Lin family is a Confucian minister who is very clear about this.

The Prime Minister did not kill himself, but he was charged with a crime that was difficult to clean up for thousands of years. From now on, the Lin family will have no future.

It’s better to die. After Lin Yuanmiao was carried home, the first thing he said when he woke up was this. He pulled Lin Zhen over and shed tears in pain. "Son, I have harmed you for my father, wuwu... From now on, you will be a civil servant. Be careful and low-key to go to the military position. Only there can make you successful..."

"The Prime Minister is not a person who holds revenge. He could tolerate even the Japanese who rioted back then, and did not massacre the city and retaliate, let alone you. As long as you make contributions, the Prime Minister will still reward you..."

"Remember, remember forever, our Lin family has no chance with the civil servant..." After saying that, Lin Yuanmiao's eyes turned dark and fainted on the bed.

Lin Yuanmiao's illness lasted for a year, and then he passed away quietly. Lin Zhen followed his father's order and made achievements in the army in a low-key manner. He spent a lot of time performing overseas tasks. Later, he really had his own career, which was a story for a while.

Xiao Letian's speech today was printed by students from the ten universities in Beliuqiu, and began to distribute it widely. A great reflection on the thoughts of the bureaucratic class began.

The fanatical students seemed to have found clues about why the troubled times came from, and various ancient historical materials began to have different interpretations. What is even more gratifying is that the students' actions were fully funded by the entire Ryukyu business district. They wanted money, money, and things. For thousands of years, the prime minister was the only one who said good things to the merchants. How could they not be grateful?

King Shangtai and Emperor Tongzhi could not miss this excellent opportunity to study. They came to bother Xiao Letian early after dinner.

It is never a mistake to be good at studying. Xiao Letian stroked Zaichun's head, "You finally got to know you. I feel relieved when you think of this... Yes, this principle is actually very simple. There is a sentence that can be described..."

"You should have heard of those who have constant property."

"Okay, let me give you a simple example. The lush and straight trees in the two forests are all big trees. These woods are all hot goods in the market... One of them belongs to the Wang family for generations, and it is said by father and son that will never stop..."

"And another forest belongs to the government and was buried in the wallet by the Li family for ten years. So the question is, what will the result of these two forests in ten years?"

Emperor Tongzhi blinked his eyes and suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "I understand. In ten years, the Li family's forest will definitely be cut down and all the wood will be sold out, while the Wang family's forest will definitely be lush..."

"Good boy, that's right, what's your answer to King Shangtai."

King Shangtai's reaction was still half a beat slower than Zaichun, but at this time he also figured out, "The Li family only has ten years of opportunity to make money, so he wants to turn all the wood into money within ten years, but the Wang family doesn't. They have to consider whether their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons will have food to eat, so they will cut down one tree and plant two trees. Their family will find ways to make this forest last for thousands of years..."

"That's right, this is the core of all problems. What are bureaucrats? They are scholars who come out of the people. When officials who have been in the past ten or twenty years, they will return to the people... Rights are very short for them, so of course they have to cash out their rights..."

"And the emperor is different. Unless he is a fool, as long as the emperor has a normal mindset, he will consider the job of his son, grandson, and great-grandson, so they dare not exert excessively from the people. Think about it, when the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, there were only a few hundred thousand taels of silver in the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing, and there was not much money in the palace..."

"But as soon as Li Zicheng used his punishment, he copied out sixty or seventy million taels of wealth from the powerful ministers. Think about the truth here."

"There is also Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, an imperial edict that never adds money. On the surface, the officials shouted long live, but they had already scolded the emperor to death in their hearts... And the gentry of Yongzheng's united officials and gentry offended all the landlords, so there are so many legendary stories of Yongzheng among the people..."

Zai Chun's fists were clenched, his eyes were red, and his chest was flushed violently. "Scammers, those people are liars. It's so good to act in front of me. Damn..."

Xiao Letian shook his head and sighed, "You can't be angry, you must understand a truth, where the bureaucrats come from, and how bureaucratic thought originated. If you don't understand this truth, you can rest and defeat them..."

"Please give me advice from my master." An emperor and a king actually knelt down on the ground and worshiped Xiao Letian. This is a knowledge that no one has ever taught them. Kings of all dynasties have been unable to express themselves through their own understanding.

Xiao Letian was calmly bowed by the emperor, and he knew that this knowledge was worthy of this kneeling.

"Get up, since you have the desire to study, I will naturally not hide my own private life... I can tell you now that bureaucrats come from the people and will eventually return to the people. Any kind of thought has its source. From the time a natural person was born to the age of death, the thoughts and values ​​that he followed in his mind throughout his life were instilled by the environment..."

"There is a beautiful woman in the book, and the golden house in the book. Everything is inferior, but reading is high... These poems, proverbs, even the old farmer who can't read big words will recite a few sentences. The whole Chinese's childhood was almost brainwashed by this idea."

"Don't underestimate the songs by the cradle, and don't underestimate the stories told by grandpa holding grandson, and don't ignore the golden list titles sung on countless stages and the operas of returning home in glory... These are brainwashing every natural person."

"The idea of ​​an official is already instilled in the cradle. If you want Yan Ruyu and a golden house, you want to be a superior person, what do you rely on? You are not studying and becoming an official? But when you really become an official, reality will make him speechless..."

"Is the salary of an official high? Compared to the old farmer, the craftsmen must be higher, but no matter how high it is, it is not as high as Yan Ruyu's left hand and the golden house with the right hand. On the contrary, those giant merchants have this condition... The huge psychological gap makes these officials very uncomfortable."

"What's more, the principle of one person being able to achieve enlightenment is also highly praised by the Chinese people. If you become an official, you will not be able to take care of your neighbors. When you are the most loved by you, you will not be able to open the back door. When you are the poorest, you will not help the neighbors who will give you money to help you."

"Look, many corrupt officials are dragged into the water like this, and everyone's behavior is actually controlled by their own values, that is, the bureaucratic thoughts for thousands of years..."

"If you have the right, it will be invalid if it expires. Who wants to be a fool? So they want to cash in the rights, they want to cut off all the wood in the mountains and forests..."

"Of course, there will naturally be some honest officials in all dynasties. It is normal for a few alternatives to a population of hundreds of millions, but they cannot change the general trend. The bureaucratic group is an extremely huge monster, and it cannot be solved by improving one or two cells..."

Xiao Letian gently lit the coffee table with his fingers, his eyes floating a little, and said softly, "Sometimes the emperor's will is good, but the officials below always sing this sutra wrongly. Why is this? It's not the emperor's will that harm their interests..."

"Not only that, don't forget that officials have been in one place for a few years, but the dynasty will last for two or three hundred years. At the beginning, when the people encountered unfairness, they would even scold corrupt officials. However, these corrupt officials were rotated too quickly, and it was difficult for the people to concentrate the responsibility on one person in their hard life..."

"Over time, generation after generation, full of resentment accumulated by the people will force the imperial power... because all people with resentment need a channel to pour out..."

Xiao Letian is as quiet as a ghost voice. "The bureaucratic group has existed for thousands of years. They have some ways to divert the anger of the people. The old loach who is slim and is talking about them... Ten years, fifty years, one hundred years, gradually the people began to scold the emperor, and they started to scold the court..."

"What is next? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom swept half of the country, and the Nian Army swept across the Central Plains and killed corpses everywhere. It has accumulated resentment for hundreds of years. Once it erupts, it will be a change of dynasty..."

The study suddenly became silent. After a long time, Zai Chun asked, "Is this a reason for the change of dynasties? Didn't the master talk about land annexation and backward productivity before? What does this have to do with the bureaucrats?"
