Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 297 Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and the like are trash
Li Chengqian said: "You don't need to be so shocked. My teacher said that this is inevitable, because it conforms to the cobra effect. Do you want to know why there are more than ten times more cobras?"

Nonsense, of course I want to know.

Li Chengqian's words whetted the appetites of the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty.They all stared at Li Chengqian intently.

Li Chengqian said with his hands behind his back: "This is human nature. It is because the king paid a high price for snakes. Therefore, people in that area changed from catching snakes to raising snakes. There is no way. At this time, if one is caught and one is missing, there will always be people caught." When it’s time to die! It’s time to catch them, where are they going to make money? So, these people started to raise snakes. In this way, they can make this money continuously.”

"How? Is this wave of operations very human?"

"Later, the king used more and more money to buy snakes, and he realized that something was wrong. So, he ordered the withdrawal of this policy. It was a disaster. Suddenly no one wanted this thing, since no one wanted it. If you want, we can't keep him, after all, this thing needs to eat, right?"

"Thus, these snake breeders all released these snakes. For a while, there were more cobras in this area, which was more than ten times more than before. This is the story of the cobra effect. How is it? Did you realize something from it?"

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were speechless.

No way, if it were them, they would also raise snakes.Someone will definitely do something that makes money.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Li Chengqian's words, it is inevitable.

Still unconvinced, Wei Zheng said, "Elder Prince, what do you mean by this? Does this cobra effect have anything to do with our victims' problems?"

Li Chengqian is speechless, can't you understand this?When his teacher told him just now, he immediately understood.

In this way, I, Li Chengqian, are smarter than this Wei Zheng.

Li Chengqian said helplessly: "Let's put it this way! There is a king of a country who loves his people very much. Especially for those with disabilities. He has introduced a policy in his country. All their countries All disabled people can receive state subsidies. That is to say, as long as you are disabled, you can eat without working. Tell me, is this king good?"

"Of course such a king is good. Taking care of his own people like this is much better than opening granaries for us to release grain. He is simply a model among kings." Someone praised.

"Ha ha……"

Li Chengqian said with a chuckle: "But, what's the result? The result is that there are more and more disabled people in their country. In the end, they couldn't find anyone who could work. You said, this king Did he harm someone?"

"What do you mean? Why is this happening?" Wei Zheng asked incomprehensibly.

Li Chengqian: "Don't you understand? If our Tang Dynasty dared to introduce such a policy, the tens of thousands of disaster victims outside would have their hands and feet chopped off immediately. Believe it or not? If their hands were cut off, they would have nothing to eat .There must be a lot of people doing it. Because, it fits the cobra effect."

"Ah? Got it, got it, finally got it."

"Not to mention, this is really an inevitable thing. They may starve to death if they have arms and legs, but as long as one arm or one foot is broken, they can lie down and eat for a lifetime, and they don't have to worry about being killed anymore." Hungry."

"So, such a policy really cannot be introduced. This king, he is doing bad things with good intentions!"

Li Chengqian said: "You understand, so you can't do things like open warehouses and release food. Look, we feed them this kind of stuff, and there are more and more victims. If you let Zheng Guogong preside over it, Give them enough to eat every day. Guess what will happen?"

"Ah? This..."

Wei Zheng immediately felt a chill down his spine.

That's right, if Wei Zheng is allowed to preside over this matter, they will be well fed every day.

Then, there will be more and more victims.

If you don't work, you will have food, and they still do a shit job!They all came here as refugees.

The most important thing is that they may not be able to eat enough after working hard every day!Then you can eat enough, who wouldn't come to be a refugee?

This is human nature.

Li Chengqian: "Zheng Guogong, tell me now, are you harming people? This is not the most terrible thing, you go out and see those refugees now. In order to save consumption, they all lie on the ground after eating. Even I don't even want to move."

"You have cultivated their inertia. In the future, who will work for us in Datang? If you don't work, you will have food. Who is willing to work? Is this what Zheng Guogong said about helping the people? Are you sure that you are not harming them? ? I just want to ask Zheng Guogong, what did you cultivate these wastes for? To increase the pressure on our Datang?"

"I."

Wei Zheng was confused by Li Chengqian.

Hey, hello, aren't you the number one troll who dared to hate the emperor in Tang Dynasty?
Come on, come on, why can't you beat a young man?

"Clap clap clap..."

Cheng Chuli applauded, walked out and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, you did a good job. You can brag about your achievement for the rest of your life if you can make Wei Zheng speechless."

When Wei Zheng heard this, he was so angry that his nose turned crooked.Why is this little guy so annoying when he speaks?

"What are you looking at, even my disciple can't do it, you have the face?" Cheng Chuli said very contemptuously.

Wei Zheng was immediately dizzy by Cheng Chuli's anger.

"You, you, Cheng Chuli, who doesn't understand these principles? Is it worth showing off?"

"hey-hey……"

Cheng Chuli laughed, very strangely.

"Master Wei Zheng, this is what you said, wait a minute, if you still dare to say that you understand, I will lose."

As Cheng Chuli said, he cupped his hands to Li Eryi and said, "Your Majesty, what I'm going to say next is the most important thing. Do you know why the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty tricked you into opening granaries to save the people?
No, it should be said that they are forcing you to open a warehouse to distribute food and help the people.Because if you don't open warehouses to release grain, they will say that you don't care about the people and that you are a faint king.In fact, is this really the case?No no no, absolutely not.

Let me tell you, it is a conspiracy for them to trick you into opening granaries and releasing grain to help the people.When you open a warehouse to release grain, what you hand over to them is white rice.However, I believe you have seen what they feed the common people.

Therefore, the rice will appear in their grain store after a round trip, allowing you to continue to buy it, and then continue to hand it over to them to continue selling it to you.

The life and death of the people is not important to them at all.All they want is a reason to suck your money dry. "

"bump……"

Li Shimin took the case angrily.

It turns out that these guys are all playing with me like a fool!

"Shh..."

"Shh..."

"Shh..."

At this moment, all civil and military officials knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, you are wronged! Please don't listen to Duke Zhong's greedy words! We don't think like this at all. We are all thinking about the people and His Majesty's reputation!"

At this moment, a deep sense of powerlessness enveloped Li Shimin's heart.

It was too difficult to be the emperor.

Why?Why is it wrong to even open warehouses to release grain to the people?
No, that's not the point.

Why are all the civil and military officials, the ministers I trust the most, trying to fool me?Take advantage of me.

It's too scary, as long as I relax a little bit, they will take advantage of it.

Cheng Chuli's scolding is not wrong, I am really a fool, an out-and-out fool!
He knew that some of these people kneeling under the hall were really thinking about the common people.

But some people are actually fooling him.

Perhaps, they had conspired long ago.

He, Li Shimin, was also careless and negligent for a while, just being fooled by them.

Who would have thought that it would be wrong to open warehouses to release grain and help the people?
Among those kneeling on the ground was Wei Zheng.

Cheng Chuli kicked him and said, "Hey, Lord Wei Zheng. Don't you understand what you're saying? Why did you wrong you again?"

Wei Zheng lay dead on the ground, not daring to take it for granted, he was already cursing in his heart.

You little bastard, what time is it?Still here to add insult to injury, do you really want me to die?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Chuli said, "Master Wei Zheng, why do you want to save face and suffer? If you understand it, you understand it. If you don't understand it, you don't understand it. Why do you pretend to understand it?"

Wei Zheng was so ashamed immediately, boy, I admit that you are awesome, so don't play with me.

This little bastard is too hateful, and he has to dig a hole for him to jump.

This is also my own fault, why do you want to save face and suffer? If you don’t understand, you don’t understand.
Saying that you understand, but still insisting on forcing the emperor to open a warehouse to release grain, it would be like playing tricks on the emperor.

This is the crime of bullying the king.When the emperor got angry, he would really die.

However, Li Shimin at this moment really has nothing to do with them.

Because he has no way to distinguish, who is really fooling him to make a profit?Who is doing bad things with good intentions?

You can't beat a boatload of people to death with a stick, pull them all out and chop them up, right?

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "You people, each of you will be fined a year's salary, which will be used to save the common people. Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

A group of people felt relieved and struggled to get up from the ground.

Li Shimin: "Come here! Take Cui Zhi, put him in prison, and interrogate him strictly. Make sure he confesses his accomplice."

Immediately afterwards, Cui Zhi, the magistrate of Wannian County, was dragged out.

Li Shimin: "Xiao Chuli, I believe you must have a way to solve these disaster victims. Tell me! How to solve it?"

Cheng Chuli clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult, you can ask Fourth Junior Brother to see if he can do anything about it?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately became interested.Asked: "Ganer, tell me! Do you have a way to solve this problem?"

Li Chengqian said: "My teacher said that there is a word called labor for relief, which can perfectly solve this problem."

Relief with labor, what is relief with labor?

As the name suggests, we literally know that it is to let the victims of disasters go to work in exchange for food.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak.

However, Wei Zheng shouted again: "Your Majesty, absolutely no! These disaster victims are homeless, poorly clothed, and starved of food. They are already pitiful enough. We can't abuse them like that again."

Cheng Chuli and Li Chengqian looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

These great Confucianists!It was so decadent.

Li Chengqian asked: "Then according to Zheng Guogong, how should we solve this matter?"

Wei Zheng cursed in his heart, if I knew how to solve it, the emperor would still need to ask you?

Wei Zheng said: "I haven't come up with an effective solution yet, but it is definitely not acceptable to let the victims of the disasters do coolies. This is inhumane. We are in the great Tang Dynasty, and the kingdom of heaven will never abuse the victims like this."

What the hell?
When Cheng Chuli heard this, he was really angry.

Just now, he was really joking with Wei Zheng.He knew that it was impossible for the emperor to kill Wei Zheng.

But Wei Zheng still said such words, Cheng Chuli couldn't stand it anymore.

Cheng Chuli stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Zheng Guogong is no longer fit to stay in the court, he is already old. It's time for His Majesty to consider letting him go back to retire."

"what?"

Wei Zheng was stunned immediately.

Cheng Chuli, that little bastard, what are you talking about?Why am I not fit to stay in the court anymore?
Not only Wei Zheng was stunned, but all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

This little bastard, who does he think he is?

"This?"

Li Shimin was also stunned by Cheng Chuli's words.

Wei Zheng, he still trusts him very much, let alone other things, at least he is not greedy for this guy.

He never expected that Cheng Chuli would say such a thing.

"Xiao Chuli, why do you say that?"

Cheng Chuli said: "My minister not only thinks that Mr. Wei Zheng is not suitable to be in the court anymore, but all those who have been corrupted by Confucianism are not suitable to stay in the court. Confucian people are not suitable for staying in the court except those who can read Zhihu. , I don't understand anything else, it's completely rubbish.

Keeping such people in the court, in addition to wasting food and salary, but also being poisoned by their thoughts, is not beneficial at all.

Therefore, the minister thinks that people like Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda really shouldn't stay in the court, please the emperor remove them from their official positions and let them go back to retire!Of course, ministers like Fang Xiang and Du are not included in this list.Your Majesty, this time, I am serious. "

Yes, Cheng Chuli is not afraid of offending others.What he said was also from his heart.

Anyway, he just thinks that this kind of person is too corrupt, and staying there will only hinder the progress, which is harmful and not beneficial.

As for how the emperor will choose, that is the emperor's business.

"what?"

Wei Zheng was stunned.

Kong Yingda was stunned.

As well as Changsun Wuji Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they were all stunned.

This Cheng Chuli is really a master of death!

Don't you know that most of the people in this court are Confucianists?

You are really so nonchalant that you offended all the officials in the court in one go!
"what!"

Kong Yingda couldn't take it anymore.

"Cheng Chuli, what nonsense are you talking about here? How come we Confucians are trash? Why is Zheng Guogong a trash?"
