Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 552 Tell the truth!not as good as him

Afterwards, Li Chong continued: "I thought... the boat and chariot built by Xuanyuan back then was the first generation of technology."

"Of course! Along with it, farming, as well as sericulture, silk reeling, weaving and other technologies were developed."

"Nowadays... it can be regarded as the second generation!"

"Just because..."

"The first generation is often human or animal power."

"From the second generation on, it is not human or animal power, but burning coal and boiling water."

Li Chong's opinion really made Meng Jiao feel a little ashamed.

Meng Jiao: "Your Highness's words, I have never heard of them before."

Li Chong also said: "If it's really not enough for one person to be an official, then it's okay to go to the Academy of Sciences."

"If it weren't for the Academy of Sciences, think about it, in the past 100 years, the people of Datang would not have lived as well as they do now."

"At least...it should be better than any previous dynasty."

At this time Li Ao also said: "How old is Your Highness?"

It's normal for low-level people like them not to know how old Li Chong is.

Li Chong said, "Ten years old, what's wrong?"

Li Ao: "It's nothing, I just feel that this doesn't look like ten years old."

"His Highness's views on things far surpass those of His Highness's peers."

Li Chong: "It may be that I am more good at thinking. My mouth is dry when I talk, Xiao Xiao, make tea."

……

While letting Xiao Xiao make tea, Li Chong also asked the two of them.

"I've said so much, and it's time for you to talk about it. I want to know how many meals the people of Tang Dynasty can eat a day, and how much meat can be eaten in a few days."

"Also... how many people does an average family have, and how many acres of land does the family have, not to mention the ones in Luoyang City, but I want to know the ones outside Luoyang City."

"It's like your hometown in Mengjiao."

To be honest, Meng Jiao hasn't been back to his hometown for some years.

of course!

What I have seen and heard along the way is enough to tell Li Chong.

Nowadays, the biggest drawback of Datang is that land acquisitions are serious, and some of them can even be said to be extortionate.

although……

Even if some people lose their land, they can go to the city to work.

But the problem is...

If it is bullied by bad people, which leads to the loss of their own fields, then this is not a good thing after all.

Meng Jiao then...

So he told Li Chong all the disadvantages he saw along the way.

This has something to say.

Magistrate, the appearance of so few mouse droppings can only be said to be normal.

Even in later generations, that's the same.

Li Chong asked Meng Jiao, "Then how do you think this kind of thing can be prevented?"

Meng Jiao suggested: "The minister thinks that mergers should be suppressed and officials should be rectified."

Li Chong: "What about the specific measures?"

Meng Jiao: "People should be sent to conduct strict assessments on local officials. Reward those who are honest and punish those who are corrupt."

Li Chong also said: "Then you said to send someone, who is this person going to send?"

Meng Jiao: "..."

Li Chong: "You?"

Meng Jiao: "If you need me, I am willing to take this order."

Li Chong: "No, no, no, we're just discussing, I don't have that kind of power."

"I just want to say that ruling people by people is not a good way after all. After all, after a few years, you can be sure that when you get high and powerful, you won't become like them?"

Meng Jiao: "I will definitely not!"

Li Chong: "I'll pretend that you don't know how to do it, but how many of you are there in this world? How can you ensure that everyone else can be like you?"

This question made Meng Jiao speechless.

and……

Engaging in corruption is not that simple!

Just like the Tweeting Order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, many people say it is the number one conspiracy in the ages.

however……

The Tweeting Order must have a background. At that time, it seemed that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Aye Han Jingdi Liu Qi, had already cut down all the vassals that should be cut down, and put down the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. Therefore, the prestige of the Han Dynasty at that time was not as high as that of the princes. Dare to provoke, and do not have the ability to provoke.

At this time, the implementation of the Tweeting Grace Order will of course be implemented smoothly.

and……

None of the princes dared to resist.

but……

If you change the time and background, for example, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, you ask Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to give the princes a tweeting order to try?
That's impossible!
therefore……

If you want to achieve what Meng Jiao said, suppressing mergers and rectifying officials, let’s not talk about whether this suppression of mergers makes sense.First of all, you have to be an emperor with great power in your hand.

otherwise……

It's hard to say whether the people below listen to you or not.

Now...

To be honest, he didn't know if the people below would listen to his imperial grandfather. If they did, then there was still a possibility, but Li Chong guessed that it might be a bit embarrassing.

after all……

Now that his imperial grandfather is so old, he probably didn't have the ambitions he had at the beginning, and...the one with the most corruption should be the one who supported his succession from the beginning.

The palm of this hand is full of flesh, how can I be willing to cut it off.

By the time……

Maybe he will give himself a harsh and unkind evaluation.

of course!

It doesn't mean that since everything is already like this, then nothing should be done.

can only say……

The scab was removed, but pus was still oozing underneath.

Although Meng Jiao's words were impassioned, in fact, they didn't touch the essence of the matter at all.

to be frank!
Li Zhong wanted to learn from the Japanese method, but the problem is...

cough!
He might have drowned the next day.

The punishment of corruption in Japan is very simple, that is, punishment, and heavy punishment.

If you embezzle 5000 yuan, your political career is over.

If the amount of embezzlement reaches 1 yuan, you will be sentenced to at least 3 years, and you will not be able to enter the establishment for life.

If the embezzlement reaches 6000 yuan, not only will you be imprisoned for five years, but all your assets, including real estate, will be confiscated, no matter what money you use to buy them.

Finally... If the amount of embezzlement reaches 5000 yuan, it is a very serious crime. If you are sentenced to 30 years in prison, your spouse will also be sentenced to 30 years in prison. Civil service exam.

It can be said that this is the ultimate use of the ancient sitting method.

at the same time!

It is also about having your family supervise you.

Completely eliminate the possibility of your corruption.

but……

Can you use such a system, do you dare to use it?
As long as you dare to use it today, they will dare to clear the king's side tomorrow.

Whoever brings it up, they will attack in groups, dig up your black material, and then demote you from the capital, or even more ruthlessly, arrange some assassins and killers on the road, so that you will never be able to return to the capital for the rest of your life.

Li Chong originally thought that Meng Jiao would have some insight.

to be frank!
Not as good as him.

of course!

In fact, Li Chong already knew that this would be the result.

only……

He still wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
