Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 332 Liu Meng Has No Wife
Hearing this, Liu Meng laughed and said:
"Without him, none of my subordinates lives by drinking the flesh and blood of the common people! If the common people have land to plant, they can have food to eat! If they have jobs, they have spare money to buy supplies, and they will naturally live well!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng looked at Aimee Zhu seriously, and said:
"And Daming..."

After speaking, Liu Meng shook his head and continued:

"Hehe! Officials and gentry colluded with each other, fish and meat villages, annexed land, caused public resentment, and the people couldn't survive, so there is the current peasant uprising army!

Of course, there are also ambitious people among them, such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong! "

Hearing this, Auntie Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Liu Meng didn't like Li Zicheng and Li Zicheng, she hoped to persuade Liu Meng to send troops to suppress the bandits.

Thinking of this, Auntie Zhu looked at Liu Meng expectantly and said:
"You can help my father! Rectify the government..."

Hearing this, Liu Meng was deeply afraid that Auntie Zhu would say something to help suppress the bandits, so she hurriedly interrupted Auntie Zhu's words and said:
"Hehe! Your Highness thinks too simply. To rectify the bureaucracy? It's not easy? If you want to clean up the bureaucracy, you have to kill a large number of corrupt officials. Your Highness, do you know... How many corrupt officials are there in Ming Dynasty colluding with the local government? "

Speaking of this, Liu Meng pointed out the door and said in a slightly louder voice:

"Presumably, when the princess came down, she also saw the refugees who were taken to Shicheng Island? They are the people who can't survive being exploited by officials and gentry!
Homeland is hard to leave!Do you think they are willing to drag their families and leave their homes where their ancestors have lived for generations?No, it's not that I can't go on, so I came here as if fleeing from disaster! "

Hearing this, Auntie Zhu was in a panic, how could she know this?

When flustered, Aunt Zhu didn't know how to refute Liu Meng, so she looked at her maids, eunuchs, and guards.

Seeing that they also had expressions of resentment and resentment on their faces, they immediately knew that what Liu Meng said was true.

These maids, eunuchs and guards also have relatives from the same village, so they naturally know what happened in their hometown.

However, people speak lightly, so naturally they can't say or do anything!

Auntie Zhu turned her head, looked at the angry Liu Meng, and said timidly:

"My father, my father..."

Seeing that she lacked confidence in her speech, Liu Meng couldn't tell what happened to Zhu Youjian for a long time, so he continued:
"You want to say, your father is now the emperor, working hard to govern? Is he a good emperor?"

Speaking of this, without waiting for Auntie Zhu's answer, she continued:
"I have to admit that the current emperor has the determination to revitalize Daming! But he can't do anything, because the Ming court has been rotten from the root to the end!
Do you know that the families of those court officials are the largest gentry in the area, and it is their families who exploit the local people?

How about the current emperor?The chief minister of the cabinet is worth mentioning!Do they dare to do anything to these people? "

Having said that, Liu Meng sighed and stood up, and said to Aimee Zhu:

"The biggest problem of Ming Dynasty now is not those insurgents! It's cronies, hehe! The Donglin Party! More than half of the officials in the imperial court belong to them. To rectify the administration of officials, hehe!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng waved his hand to Aimee Zhu, and said with a sad expression:

"Your Highness, I'm tired. I have to go to rest first. I'll ask someone to arrange for Her Royal Highness to go to rest first. I will host a banquet for Your Highness in the evening!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng summoned his personal guards, arranged for Aimee Zhu and his party to rest, and walked back to his room.

Seeing Liu Meng's pained expression, Zhu Yu couldn't say anything if she wanted to refute or ask for help, so she had to lead someone to the guest room with her personal guard resentfully.

Liu Meng who walked into the study immediately recovered his expression and muttered:

Really NM tired!It's really troublesome to deal with this princess!
In the guest room, Aimee Zhu's maid was waiting for her to wash her face. After washing her cheeks with clean water, Aimee Zhu thought of the soaps, soaps, perfumes, liquor, and glass that were popular in the capital all from Dongjiang when she looked at the soap.

In my heart, I admired Liu Meng again, and then thought of what Liu Meng said in the reception room earlier.

I couldn't help feeling sad for a while, looking at the maid who was serving me and growing up with me, I asked:

"Lanberry, are you saying that General Liu is telling the truth? Are Ming officials really that miserable?"

When Lanberry heard this, she paused for cleaning up her hands, then sighed and said:

"Hey! Your Royal Highness, what General Liu said is true! It's even worse!"

After hearing Lan Berry's words, Auntie Zhu's expression froze for a moment, and then her face darkened. With her knowledge and knowledge, she really couldn't think of what her father would do to rectify the government and restore the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Aimee Zhu was preoccupied, it was time for dinner.

Liu Meng ordered the kitchen to arrange a big meal for Auntie Zhu, which was far more rich than those in the palace.

During the banquet, Liu Meng always interrupted Aimee Zhu's words, and just introduced the origin and method of those dishes to Aimee Zhu on his own.

This made Aimee Zhu very helpless, and after several attempts to no avail, she temporarily stopped trying to persuade Liu Meng.

After dinner, Liu Meng said to Aimee Zhu:
"Your Highness, you can stay here for a while, or you can go out for a walk and see what I do in Dongjiang! You will know what to do if you want to change Daming!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng took his leave without waiting for Auntie Zhu to speak.

After that, Liu Meng didn't see Aimee Zhu anymore, but he ran to Phi Island and hid himself.

Aimee Zhu couldn't see Liu Meng, so she had to follow Liu Meng's instructions and visit Liu Meng's property on Shicheng Island.

Such as salt pans, workshops, schools, docks, piers, and even artillery, riflemen, and naval barracks, as long as Auntie Zhu wants to see them, someone will take her to see them.

From this point of view, more than a month has passed, and Da Ming has frequent wars.

Li Zicheng led people all the way to kill the capital. At the beginning, Li Zicheng had been adhering to the principle of "give cattle, relieve the poor, live with animals, and do farming and mulberry" to win the support of the people, and he was invincible everywhere he went.

In just one month, they crossed the Yellow River and occupied Juyongguan.

Until this time, Emperor Chongzhen was still arguing with ministers and dignitaries in order to raise military pay, and he had nothing to do with Li Zicheng's offensive.

After receiving these information, Liu Meng shook his head and sighed, the Ming Dynasty is really coming to an end!
And in Shicheng Island, Zhu Yuxi was anxiously waiting for Liu Meng to meet again, and at the same time, she was convinced by everything in Shicheng Island.

From these, we can see how strong Liu Meng's ability to govern the local area is. If Liu Meng can be recruited, then maybe he can save Daming from overthrowing.

But to persuade Liu Meng, Auntie Zhu didn't know what to do.

It was the words of the close maid, Blueberry, that woke her up.

Just today, when Auntie Zhu was talking to Lan Berry, Lan Berry said regretfully:

"Your Highness! Do you know? It's really strange that General Liu has no wife at such an old age!"
