Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 342

At this time, I heard Liu Meng continue to say:

"The strength of a country does not mean how rich the court is, but the wealth of the people all over the world is the foundation of a country's prosperity! If you want the people to live well, you must let the people have land, clothing and food. Full meal!

Just ask, the people can live a good life, who else is willing to follow the rebellion? "

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng picked up the wine glass and sipped it lightly.

Sun Chuanting was thoughtful, with his hands resting on his knees, his eyes staring blankly at the cell wall, obviously lost in thought.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting breathed out, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat and drink unceremoniously.

Liu Meng didn't take it seriously, and waited for him to eat and drink, but when the wine in his glass was dry, he would refill it for him.

After a while, Sun Chuanting stopped his chopsticks, looked at Liu Meng and asked solemnly:
"So, how do you deal with official corruption?"

After speaking, Sun Chuanting didn't realize that his tone had changed from "you" to "you".

Obviously, he had already been conquered by Liu Meng without knowing it.

Hearing this, Liu Meng sighed. This is not only a problem that troubles Daming, but also a problem that future generations will not solve repeatedly. Liu Meng said with a heavy expression:
"As the saying goes! 'A long-distance official is only for money!', it is impossible to completely eliminate this problem! But it can be controlled from the system:
First of all, the salaries of officials should be increased, at least they must be able to support a large family, that is, high salaries to support honesty;
Secondly, set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption to monitor the financial income of officials at all levels, and deal with corruption if any corruption is found!Kill what should be killed, confiscate what should be confiscated, Emperor Taizu did the right thing, but he did too much!

They only want officials not to be corrupt, but they refuse to pay them enough salaries!Forget it, this matter can't be rushed now, take your time! "

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting also nodded in agreement, he was really afraid that Liu Meng would kill those officials with heavy hands.In that case, it is really hard to say how many officials will be left in the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting thought of those royal relatives and nobles who were still staying in Jinling, and asked again:
"Then, how are you going to treat those imperial relatives and nobles of the Ming Dynasty?"

Regarding this problem, Liu Meng was not worried at all, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and said:

"They! Hehe! It's not that I underestimate them, I dare to kill them! Those who deserve to be killed, those who deserve to be exiled, should be deprived of everything! We can't let them continue to crawl on the people of Ming Dynasty and eat their flesh and blood!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Meng looked at Sun Chuanting and said earnestly:

"Having said so much? Mr. Boya, are you willing to come out and continue to devote yourself to the new Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago. He stood up from the chair, took two steps back and lifted up the corner of his robe, bowed heavily to Liu Meng and said:
"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting, I am willing to do my best for His Majesty until I die! For the new Ming Dynasty, I will do my best!"

Hearing this, Liu Meng laughed and stood up, walked in front of Sun Chuanting, helped Sun Chuanting up and said:
"Haha! Well, with Lord Sun willing to come out to help me, my new Ming Dynasty will surely prosper, far surpassing the demeanor of a powerful man in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

Being pulled up by Liu Meng, and hearing Liu Meng's expectations for him, Sun Chuanting only felt sore eyes, tears wet his eyes, his throat throbbed, and he almost cried excitedly.

Although he, Sun Chuanting, has great ambitions, but the officials in the court and China compete for power and profit, and hinder each other.Emperor Chongzhen was even more ignorant and self-righteous.I have a lot of talent for governing the world, but I can't get it to show, and I end up in the dungeon.

Unexpectedly, the young emperor in front of him was such a polite and virtuous corporal, he talked with him about the rise and fall of the dynasty, and he relied heavily on himself in his words.

If I can really work under such a wise king, can I still display my talents and express my ambitions?
At this moment, Sun Chuanting sincerely admired Liu Meng and was willing to serve Liu Meng as the master.

Liu Meng dragged Sun Chuanting back to the desk and sat down, and said to Sun Chuanting with a smile:

"By the way, Old Sun, I call you like this in private, close! Here, I don't need the set of etiquette of kneeling. No matter how much you kneel, it doesn't mean that you are afraid of me!

The first thing I do when I am in power is to abolish the kneeling system, not only here, but also among the people!I don't want to see that one day, the people of Daming can't stand up because they have been kneeling for a long time! "

After hearing Liu Meng's words, Sun Chuanting admired Liu Meng's mind even more. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the mere kneeling etiquette!

I didn't see that those ministers who are usually respectful to Emperor Chongzhen's appearance should be doing small tricks below, aren't they doing the same thing?There is no reason at all, if you kneel down to Emperor Chongzhen, you will be afraid of him.

If you were really afraid, how could you form a party for personal gain and empty out the entire Ming Dynasty together?

After the two continued to eat and drink for half an hour, Liu Meng dragged Sun Chuanting out of the prison. The first thing he did was to ask Sun Chuanting to come forward and call the ministers who were still alive to reconvene the Great Court Meeting.

First, to announce that he will take over as Emperor of Ming Dynasty;

Second, announce the news of my wedding with Princess Changping Zhu Aimee!

These two matters are really urgent. You must know that Zhu Yousong, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, is probably impatient to become the emperor of Nanming!
As long as I am ahead of him and ascend the throne as the emperor, I am not afraid that he will become the emperor of Nanming.

There is also an excuse to overthrow Jiangnan, destroying that family is one of them, and by the way, eradicating those noble families who are on the must-kill list is the main purpose.

These people are all malignant tumors. If they don't kill them, they don't want to control the whole world as soon as possible and change the fate of everyone in Ming Dynasty.

Of course, if Zhu Yousong ascended the throne first, I wouldn't be afraid!
The capital is the political center of Ming Dynasty, and only those who rank here are orthodox, so they can find excuses to destroy Nanming.

As for the northern land, thanks to the blessings of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, almost everyone who should be killed has been killed.

Next, Liu Meng met with Luo Yangxing, the former Jinyi Guard commander who surrendered to Li Zicheng, in the Qianqing Palace.

What does this person say?Do you have backbone?Yes, at least when Li Zicheng called, he had the courage to lead the soldiers to guard the capital.He had no backbone, and he didn't. He surrendered to Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty, and finally defected to Nanming and died in the south of the Yangtze River.

Speaking of ability?have!But it's not a capable minister!
How is this person going to use it?It's difficult for Liu Meng, and Liu Meng dare not put it in the place!Damn it, it will definitely bring disaster to the place!

What else can you do if you stay in the capital?Thinking of his expertise, Liu Meng decided to put him in charge of Xing prison.

There is no power to arrest people, only the right to interrogate, just make the best use of it.
