The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 185 Poor people must have something to hate

Early the next morning, Weining got up early, called Zhao Ce, and said, "How many people can we mobilize today?"

Zhao Ce thought for a while and said: "Servants, slaves, maids, etc., I can have thirty or fifty free time."

Wei Ning said: "If we don't talk about them, we will talk about you."

Um, are you going to kill someone?

Zhao Zhizhi was obviously excited, he hadn't done anything for a long time!

"Ten! They are all elite soldiers and generals!"

Half of the twenty Yulin generals given to Weining by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stayed in Lantian and the other half were brought to Chang'an.

These people have not forgotten to train on weekdays, and their fighting ability has improved a lot compared to last year on the battlefield.

Wei Ning said: "When Your Majesty and I go out later, you can follow us."

Zhao Ce: "Okay!"

……

Suburbs of Wannian County.

The scorching sun shines on the land in the suburbs, making people feel hot and uneasy.

Wei Ning stood under the tree with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and saw a group of people coming towards them menacingly from a distance.

Wei Ning raised his eyes and took a look. The group of people came yesterday and brought so many people with them...

He silently stood in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Li Jiao cursed, pointed forward and said, "It's just those two bastards, right?"

"Go up and beat me! Beat me to death!"

Li Jiao rushed forward quickly, and the group of people behind him were menacing and armed with sticks.

Karma?
Li Jiao ran very fast, and when she arrived in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, she flew into the air, bent her legs, and landed on her knees with a loud sound.

The house slaves behind him were dumbfounded.

Young Master, is this a juggling act to scare the other party?
Doesn't this... hurt?

Doesn’t it really hurt to kneel down at such a high distance?It made a sound. The bones must have cracked.

Li Jiao was almost stunned. He was about to kick someone in the air. The moment he saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was so scared that he almost peed.

Fear and pain intertwined on his face, making his facial features a little distorted.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said with a smile, "Does it hurt?"

Li Jiao said in fear: "This... the common people... Your Majesty... the common people deserve to die!"

Bang bang bang!
Li Jiao kept lying on the ground and kowtowing.

What...what is it, Your Majesty?
The group of villains behind them didn't react, but they saw the second son of the powerful Li family lying on the ground like a dog, kowtowing.

No matter how stupid they are, they still know how awesome the other person is!
So they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to apologize.

Didn't Mr. Li say... No matter how big the other party is, can he be bigger than the Li family?
What's going on here?

Weining shook his head helplessly. He had brought everyone out to let Zhao Ce and the others stretch their muscles, but now there was no use for them.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Li Jiao indifferently and said, "You are very promising now. Why didn't I realize that you are still a business genius?"

"Li Guang gave birth to a good son."

Li Jiao was almost scared out of his mind now, especially after listening to Emperor Wu of Han's teasing words, he felt like a knife was hanging on his neck and might fall at any time.

"Does the county magistrate know that you are doing evil here?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked down at Li Jiao with his hands behind his back.

Li Jiao was still kowtowing, and her scalp was almost bleeding.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not stop.

How could Li Jiao dare to lie? She said honestly: "I know... I know."

"Does he care about you?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked indifferently.

Li Jiao said: "I, I gave him the money and the reputation of the Li family, so the county magistrate just turned a blind eye."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled sarcastically and said, "Look, Lord Wei, the supervision system you proposed is very good."

"All the officials under my nose are like this. Officials like Han Han, who are both good and bad, can be trusted to govern the place. Can I rest assured?"

"Do they treat the people as human beings?"

Wei Ning remained silent, knowing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not asking him now.

He could also feel the anger of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Tell me."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Li Jiao: "How much money do you owe me? Why did you start masturbating?"

"How much does it cost to lend you money?" Li Jiao said hurriedly: "Go back to your majesty, we are not the ones who masturbated, but the other party wants to use their daughter to repay the debt."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment.

Weining was also stunned.

There must be something hateful about poor people, and one is willing to be beaten while the other is willing to suffer.

"I borrowed five hundred coins from the grassroots."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked: "What now? How much do you have to pay back?"

Li Jiao said in a trembling voice: "This, this... I want, I want to pay back [-] yuan."

Wei Ning looked at him in shock, thinking that he heard wrongly, you are more ruthless than a loan shark!Borrowed [-] Wen, returned [-] Wen, and turned around and doubled the amount six times!
"Oh, you really know how to do business."

"I also want to ask you to borrow some money. If I borrow [-] yuan, do I have to mortgage the big man to you?"

Li Jiao was almost frightened to tears. No matter how ruthless and fierce he was, facing the emperor, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could really kill him with just one word, on the spot, now!
If a person doesn't answer well, he might really be killed.

The guy next to him is the Marquis of Zhenbei, right?No wonder he took action casually yesterday and beat his people till they cried for father and mother.

"The common people... don't dare. Your Majesty, spare your life."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Go back."

"Rectify your bank business properly."

ah?That's it?

Li Jiao hurriedly said: "Thank you, your majesty, thank you, your majesty."

Several domestic slaves carried Li Jiao and fled away as if fleeing.

Wei Ning looked at Emperor Wu of Han with some confusion.

"Do you think my punishment is too light?"

Wei Ning hummed.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head and said: "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. I can't make decisions for the people."

"If we really want to pursue the case, Li Jiao must be guilty, but Li Guang is currently guarding the border in Youbeiping County."

"If I really want to deal with his son, I'm afraid something will happen at the border."

"So when dealing with him, we should mainly use beatings and deterrence, supplemented by punishment."

"Sometimes putting a knife on someone's head makes them more afraid than killing them directly. Do you understand?"

There are different ways to deal with each person. Some people can be killed directly, while some people mainly use beatings and shocks.

Killing is an art, killing indiscriminately is counterproductive.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could always handle political matters, big and small, with ease, which impressed Weining.

Weining nodded.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed and said: "But if we find a problem, we can't end it hastily."

"How many people are affected by this kind of harm? I don't know, but there are certainly not a few."

"This is worse than land annexation, and the state needs to take action to regulate it."

"This is how running a country is. Many things require you to discover and solve problems later, and develop in a good direction little by little."

"Only when the people are the foundation can the country enjoy long-term peace and stability."

He glanced at Weining and asked, "I leave the matter to you, what will you do?"

Wei Ning thought about it for a long time, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not urge him. He wanted to see how Wei Ning would handle the matter from the perspective of a ruler.

"Include it in the legislation? The country will introduce laws to avoid malicious debt collection and avoid violent debt collection with high interest rates?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled: "It's too idealistic, just like a scholar."

"How can there be so many people in the Han Dynasty who can read? How many of them know what the law stipulates?"

Wei Ning asked in confusion: "What should we do?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said indifferently: "Kill, kill, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys! If you can't kill Li Jiao, can't you kill others?"

"Let the local officials catch the typical people and kill a few people, then the people will know that these things are wrong."

"Of course, you are right. On this premise, legislation is needed, and only after legislation can we do these things."

"Boy, you have to remember that as an emperor, you must be ruthless and not benevolent as a woman. Some people can be killed and some people cannot be killed. You must carefully distinguish who can be killed and what effect killing can have. Who You can’t kill, what will be the consequences if you kill.”

"Isn't it said in the Tao Te Ching? To govern a big country is like cooking a small dish, you must know how to control the heat."
