She's just a little depressed.
After setting up so many experimental fields, Minghui was the best one, and Tang Ning didn't know what expression she should show.
"If you want to die, I can send you away with dignity."
Tang Ning touched the golden ears of wheat and felt that it was not unreasonable for a country to develop qualitatively through trade and opening up a new continent.
Once it becomes feasible to grow wheat, it means higher yields and more food, which means that more people can be fed.
"I don't want to die yet, I still want to live."
Minghui stepped back repeatedly, not even caring about the wheat in her arms.
Her eyes had lost their former sparkle.
Even so, she still wanted to live.
This is human instinct, the desire for life.
Tang Ning finally respected her choice.
Although Minghui was not dead, she was almost dead.
Tang Ning wouldn't let her starve to death, but he wouldn't let her leave alive either.
No one is not afraid of death.
When it comes to integrity, there really is no integrity at all.
Very few people in this world can die calmly.
It is better to die than to live.
This is Minghui's choice.
For the sake of Xiaomai, Tang Ning can spare her death, but she cannot escape the death penalty.
Tang Ning was still very satisfied with the current situation.
The rest of her life consisted of approving memorials, going to court, vigorously promoting wheat cultivation, improving the legal code, and going back and forth with a group of ministers.
Tang Ning always had a cold face, sitting on the dragon chair with full aura, which made the ministers tremble with fear.
They would think carefully before speaking, for fear of making Tang Ning unhappy.
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, Chu.
There has never been such a precedent from ancient times to the present."
The Censor said with a grimace.
Tang Ning stared at them without saying a word from beginning to end, which made their spines tingle and their scalps tingle, "Does Aiqing have any countermeasures?"
These censors, who are strong-willed and have no eyes for sand, just like to impeach people.
Tang Ning raised his hand and threw the memorial on the ground in front of him.
His figure suddenly rose up and shouted sharply, "It's better for these people to eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor.
They work against the will and enrich their own pockets.
Master Censor, try your best to protect them, but you feel that " "Your Majesty, I forgive you, I, I, I had no such intention."
What these censors like most is to be slapped with big hats.
Now that such big hats are slapped on themselves, they can only experience this feeling by themselves.
The land stretches and mountains and rivers expand.
Originally, all state capitals still had the bad habits of the previous dynasty, and state officials oppressed the people.
Although Tang Ning had issued a tax exemption order, they still levied exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the people.
The people were miserable, suffering from the fact that the imperial court was thousands of miles away and could only be at its mercy.
General Lu was free and easy by nature.
He took an official position from the Imperial Censor and traveled all over the world.
He was selfless and had memorials delivered to Tang Ning's study every day.
In his memorial, he denounced state officials and suggested that Tang Ning re-select state officials, otherwise it would lead to catastrophe sooner or later if things go on like this.
If the people don't have enough to eat and can't feel the warmth of the court, they will rebel sooner or later.
It is a top priority to hold imperial examinations, select talents, and rapidly expand the number of vacant positions for officials in various states.
"I want to open the imperial examination so that both humble scholars and ambitious people can show their talents."

"There are also people among the common people who are knowledgeable and talented and have the world's ambitions.
I will give them opportunities.
Whether they can seize them depends on their own destiny."
"The imperial examination system is fair and just, and only those who are capable are selected.
There is no nepotism or suspicion of officials protecting each other."
When talking about officials protecting each other, Tang Ning showed a meaningful smile.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and stagnant, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.
The whole court was quiet, and every conversation was echoed.
Some officials were restless, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves from time to time.
After being an official for so long, their butts are not very clean.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty clamped their tails, no matter what kind of tail they were, whether it was a fox tail, a dog tail, a cat tail, or a fish tail, they all put it away.
The emperor is not easy to deal with.
Not long after he ascended the throne, many prohibited items and wealth that could be converted into fifty million taels of silver were found in the ornately decorated residence of the former Zhou Prime Minister and various villas.
The prime minister eats with ivory chopsticks and serves food in gold and silver bowls.
All he uses are the best things in the world.
The treasury's annual income is only 50 million taels of silver, and sometimes it cannot make ends meet, but these corrupt officials Not only Tang Ning was surprised, but also those who originally admired the prime minister very much were disappointed in him after getting such a result.
At that time, Tang Ning knew that sometimes one should not be too gentle.
After copying the corrupt officials, Tang Ning raised the officials' salaries a little, and the officials all knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness.
The officials were careful to avoid being caught by Tang Ning.
They ransacked their homes when they were told, and exiled when they were told.
It was really scary.
Everyone’s butts are not very clean.
They don't know when the steel knife falling on their heads will feel the most uncomfortable.
They know that they will die, their homes will be confiscated, and they will be exiled, but the feeling of waiting to die is really excruciating.
I won’t let you die, I’ll keep you fat and white until it’s fun to cut you off.
The life of a corrupt official is worse than the last, and he feels like dying in pain every day.
What they were nervous about was when Tang Ning would attack and raid their home.
Tang Ning was noncommittal about their understanding.
The most important thing for him now was to consolidate his rule.
The rest would wait until she remembered, or else he could be a hand-off shopkeeper and throw it to the client.
Just keep those black hats on the officials' heads for a few more days, and they will be punished later.
Whatever you eat will be vomited out sooner or later.
If there are too many moths, you still have to kill them, otherwise this great country will be eaten up.
The corrupt officials didn't know that Tang Ning was so vicious inside, otherwise they would have yelled at Huangdi that he was a devil and not a human being.
Tang Ning was decisive in her work and never sloppy.
Since she decided to replace officials from various states, she would replace them all at once.
There are always people kicking people in the face, making people crazy.
So Tang Ning felt that she was suitable for holding the airs like this.
In the process of mediating with the courtiers, Tang Ning learned a truth.
It doesn't make sense to reason with others.
If you can use your fists, try not to waste your words.
When you encounter something that doesn't make sense and you're too lazy to beep, just do whatever you need to do without wasting your saliva or feelings.
You have your own ideas and he has his own selfishness.
It's hard to reach a consensus.
"Leave this matter to the Prime Minister."

Sometimes, you have to be tougher.
In this era where aristocratic families are domineering and forming gangs with no fear, what Tang Ning did was definitely challenging their bottom line.
However, Tang Ning was not afraid at all.
These behemoths, Tang Ning could cut off their restless hands with just a smile, leaving them with no ability to fight back.
Because she is the emperor, and it is impossible to turn her into the emperor she wants without relying on these people.
