"The dynastic periodic law?
Husband, this summary of yours is very good......
Dynasties are really in such a cycle....."
After listening to Li Lu's summary, Wu Mei couldn't help but sigh, "But my good husband, have you ever wondered why this periodic law appears?"
”"Oh?
Mei Niang, what do you think?
”Li Lu was very curious, he wanted to know what this Martial Empress thought of this issue."
Giggle.....
I see, what is the periodic law, it's just that the rulers of all dynasties have forgotten the warnings of our ancestors....."
Wu Mei said mysteriously."
This is fresh, Mei Niang, tell me about it....."
Li Lu pricked up his ears, intending to listen to Wu Meiniang's high opinion."
They have forgotten the great principle of 'born in adversity and dying in peace'......"
Li Lu heard it, isn't it, all dynasties, as long as it was just when the country was founded, the people in power were generally more energetic, knew how to be thrifty, knew how to promote outstanding talents to govern the country, and their own ability was relatively strong.After a few generations, the new authorities forgot the hardships and hardships of the entrepreneurs, and began to ponder the problems of their own pleasures and the glory and wealth of their sons and grandchildren.As soon as society degenerates, the elite at the top is drunk and dreams of death, and the people at the bottom of society are worse than dead, so they will rebel, and society will fall into turmoil, either overthrown by peasant uprisings, or replaced by foreign minorities, and the dynasty will perish."
Husband, now our Great Britain is in the early days of the founding of the country......
I'm afraid that our descendants will fall into your prestige......"
Wu Mei looked at Li Lu with a sad face, "Once the children and grandchildren are not good...
People are dead and the government is resting.....
I'm afraid that the foundation you have worked so hard will ....., husband."
Speaking of this, Wu Mei did not continue, but looked at Li Lu with bright eyes, obviously this girl was waiting for Li Lu's answer."
This, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, even if I save a big family business, if my children and grandchildren are not good, it is their business to lose everything, as his ancestor, I have a clear conscience....."
Li Lu answered Wu Mei's question like this, "Mei Niang, the periodic law I said is not contradictory to what you said, 'born in sorrow and died in peace'......
It's so hard to get out of this cyclical law, it's so hard to .....""
Giggles, husband, you said it's so difficult, so it's difficult, that means you have some ideas??"
Wu Mei said with a smile."
Niu'er, you reacted well, I really have some ideas, but I can't say ..... now" Li Luxin said that in the later period of Lao Tzu's reign, a constitutional monarchy system will be implemented, and the royal family will become a mascot, maybe he can get rid of the curse of this periodic law, right?"
It's pretending to be mysterious again, it's not fun....."
Seeing that Li Lu refused to say, Wu Mei had no choice, so she had to change the topic, "Hey, husband, I went to the General Administration of Integrity today, and I saw the governor of the Yue clan, Mi Encheng, and his stolen goods, giggles, I can't believe it, you said that he Mien made a Sinicized Sogdian, just pretending to be a Chinese-speaking Chinese, ouch, his collections, all of them are worth a lot of money....."
Wu Mei's words successfully aroused Li Lu's interest, "According to this, isn't this the life that this guy wants to live like this, on a quiet afternoon, under the warm sunshine, soak in a pot of fragrant tea, enjoy the curiosities on the study museum shelves, and taste the celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls......"
Li Lu's brows furrowed even tighter, most of Mi Encheng's hidden poverty should be bribes, wow, this is "elegant bribery"."
Husband, don't say that such a day is really quite free......
Wu Mei said with a smile, "It is said that gold is hidden in troubled times, and treasures are hidden in prosperous times, and our British people are on the right track with your efforts, and have embarked on the road of prosperity, and the trading of folk calligraphy and painting, jade, and antiques has been very active in these years, and there is a street in our glazed tower in Broken Leaf City that is full of such shops.......""
I want to meet Mi Encheng and ask him, how did he get to such a field step by step......"
Li Lu did not answer Wu Mei's words, "Go, Mei Niang, accompany me to the General Administration of Integrity ......"
When Li Lu saw Mi Encheng's boxes containing treasures, he was directly dumbfounded, only to see the calligraphy and paintings, gems, jade, gold, coral, and jade in these treasure chests......
Each piece of valuables is stacked neatly and neatly, and the quality is extraordinary, which is eye-popping.The most outstanding is the series of golden silk nan wood furniture, so that Li Lu feel a little what, you know, this golden silk nan wood is extremely precious and rare, mostly produced in the mountains of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places in China, in ancient times not only mining difficult, but also transportation is not easy, need to be transported by water, through the Grand Canal to Kyoto in all dynasties, specially provided to the royal family.Although the royal family has the right to use the golden silk nanmu, but the emperors of the past dynasties are not very willing to use it, because the golden silk nanmu is too expensive and too scarce.And this Mi Encheng actually has such good golden silk nanmu furniture, which really makes Li Lu, the king of a country, feel a little ashamed, "Ouch, it's really poverty that limits my imagination, Mei Niang, you said that I don't have such extravagant furniture, one of my governors actually has several sets of ......"
"Husband ......"
Facing Li Lu's self-deprecation, Wu Mei didn't know what to say, at this moment, she hated these corrupt officials to death, and it was easy for her own man to work hard, you dug the corner of our house like this, Do you want our whole family to drink the northwest wind?"
Your Majesty, these are just the tip of Mi Encheng's huge family property, his real estate, the minister doesn't know how to describe it to you, let's put it this way, our Great Britain, as long as there is a prosperous place, there is the Mi family's industry, and most of these industries are not very legitimate,......"
Li Ran said like this, Li Lu said, "The minister found someone to calculate, Mi Encheng's stolen goods and family property are about 3.5 million taels of silver......."
Three and a half million taels?......
hiss" Li Lu was immediately frightened by this number, "My God, this is almost enough to keep up with my military spending for half a year....."
Li Lu has to spend eight million taels of silver for the British army a year, and this Mi Encheng is greedy so much at once, which makes Li Lu angry and anxious."
Damn, I'm so angry....."
Li Lu was so angry, "Call this bastard to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to know where he got the courage to do this?"

”Li Lu was so angry that he didn't even say the word "I", which shows how angry he was."
Husband, you dissipate your anger......
Wu Mei said while giving Li Lu a smooth breath, "This Mi Encheng, not Ling Chi is not enough to be angry....."
When Mi Encheng came to Li Lu, he knelt down with a "poof", "The criminal minister Mi Encheng knocked to see Your Majesty, Niangniang .....""
Mi Encheng, I ask you, when you took office, you forgot all the words I told you?
Are you taking my words as a deaf ear?
Well, ..... said."
The more Li Lu looked at it, the more angry he became, "I want you to serve the people well for me, and that's how you serve?"
You have served all the people's fat and ointment to your own home, you see, I can't sit on the best golden silk nanmu furniture, I can't sit down, you are ......"
Li Lu said while kicking this guy with his foot, "I have been telling you officials all day long that the people are the foundation of the state, and the people are the foundation of the country, you ......"
When Li Lu said the foundation, Mi Encheng endured the pain and said, "Your Majesty, the minister forgot your teaching, the herdsman has a fork, and the minister deserves the title of the official of his parents.....""
Straight lady thief, who specially let you go to the herdsman?
The people are the food and clothing parents of me and you officials, they are our fathers and mothers, do you understand?
I asked you to serve them, serve, you don't understand these two words?
”As soon as Li Lu heard it, he knew what was wrong with Mi Encheng.It turned out that Mi Encheng did not recognize the statement that the official's food and clothing parents were the people, he believed that the official was not the public servant of the people, but the parents of the people, and his responsibility was to herdsmen for his own king."
These collections of yours, which ones don't drip with the blood and sweat of the people?
You didn't think about it, if you didn't have these simple people, you ....."
The more Li Lu spoke, the more angry he became, "What kind of parents do you still have the face to mention?"
Straight mother thief, when did I ask you to be a parent official, huh?
”"Why don't you say it?
Do you think that you are a parent official on weekdays, and you can dictate it; Because he is a 'parent official', he can make a promise, and because he is a 'parent official', he can accept all kinds of 'filial piety' with peace of mind......"
Li Lu kicked Mi Encheng again, and said viciously, "Straight mother thief, straight mother thief, it seems that I must make you a typical example.....
I want my officials to know that I don't need any bullshit parent officials....."
As soon as he heard that Li Lu was going to take himself as a model, Mi Encheng was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he thought that Li Lu kicked himself, according to his old master and father-in-law, this was the performance of His Majesty's real henchman, but now that he looks at it, it is not the case at all, "Woo woo, Chen Ziliang, you killed me......"
Thinking that he would be sentenced to death like other corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Mi Encheng couldn't help but feel sad and sighed to the sky."
Huh?
Who is Chen Ziliang?
”Li Lu became curious when he heard that this thing actually put the blame on another person, "Your Majesty, Chen Ziliang is Mi Encheng's father-in-law, and he is also the master hired by himself......
This Chen Ziliang worked as a staff member in Li Tang and was a down-and-out literati....."
Only then did Li Lu understand that his confidant would learn such a high-level word as "herdsman", and it turned out that he was dragged to the Confucian side, no wonder this was corrupted and degenerated so quickly.......
Mi Encheng was by no means an exception, a bureaucrat like him, Li Lu understood that there were not one or two under him, and it seemed that it would not be possible to deter them ruthlessly......
