Chapter 3 Trial jade for three days, rule the country for a long time(2/2)

"That's not right! Being tough is not good for the country!"

Wu Jie cast a spell again...

After experiencing several illusions in succession, the old censor gradually understood what Wu Jie meant and made more and more demands on the country. However, none of the countries he dreamed up lasted long.

"This is all false!" He finally shouted angrily, "If it were my country, Dai Viet, I would never have such a result!"

"Really?" Wu Jie smiled disdainfully.

This time, the old censor finally saw the Kingdom of Dai Viet.

It is similar to the Dai Viet Kingdom in reality, except that the country's rulers and officials all pursue a theory similar to his, looking only at talent, not character; only looking at effects, not means.

There were still many Qingliu officials in this country at the beginning, but Qingliu were not good at forming parties, and because their enjoyment was far inferior to those of corrupt officials, there were fewer and fewer talents in the follow-up, and they quickly fell behind in the political struggle.

Soon they were expelled.

When the court is filled with corrupt officials and those who support corrupt officials, their raids on the people gradually become more ferocious - because there is no restriction.

However, the old censor has no objection to this. After all, this country is still in a period of growth. Although officials are searching more ruthlessly, the country is still expanding externally and is still acquiring resources, and the number of officials and landowners is not

Even if it is too much, in addition to supplying them, there is still a lot left over from the people's production, and the country is still developing.

More than a hundred years later, the number of officials and landowners continued to increase, and they occupied more and more national resources. However, the country's external expansion gradually reached its limit, and the newly acquired resources became less and less. However, officials and landowners

The speed of their encroachment has not slowed down at all.

Gradually, people's lives began to decline, and their dissatisfaction with the country grew.

The old censor frowned. He clearly felt something was wrong and couldn't help but said: "At this time, we should suppress mergers and let officials and landlords distribute their wealth to the people!"

So someone suggested this, and then he was killed as a matter of course.

When the body of the young man who had appealed in this way lay on the ground, the old censor's face became ugly, and his hands and feet began to tremble slightly.

He is not an ignorant person and can already foresee the development of the country at this moment.

Sure enough, as he expected, the rich became richer and richer, the poor became poorer and poorer, and the dissatisfaction among the people accumulated more and more, and eventually a great uprising spread across the country.

When the rebel army captured Yuan City and lined up to behead the emperors, generals and ministers; when they searched for huge amounts of money from the palace treasury and the homes of hundreds of officials, the troops who were still fighting and loyal to the country were losing their lives because of

They were deprived of military pay and couldn't even get the basic weapons and armor together.

The old censor's face was pale, and his body was shaking like leaves in the wind. He kept mumbling to himself: "How could this happen? This could happen!"

"If a country wants to develop stably, it needs 'constraints.'" Wu Jie's voice came from far away, as if from outside the sky. Reflecting the imperial city burning in flames, "It is true that as long as things can be done well,

, it is not a big problem if the means are slightly wrong. But if a country wants to move forward, it needs the power of justice to help steer the country so that the country does not accumulate mistakes bit by bit and eventually tilt in the completely wrong direction."

"As the censor, you were supposed to play the role of helping to steer the ship, correcting the mistakes bit by bit, and keeping the country in the right direction." Wu Jie's voice gradually became colder, "But you betrayed your duty!

"

"When a country, even the censor who represents the power of justice, completely ignores benevolence, justice and morality, then the country is slowly sliding into the abyss..."

"But Yanling County is indeed developing very well!" The old censor's voice was very low, like the moans of a seriously ill person.

"That's because Yanling County is a newly developed area with not many officials and landowners. The accumulation of private wealth has temporarily exceeded the speed of plundering." Wu Jie said mercilessly, "But the development will eventually reach its limit.

In the end, private accumulation will not keep up with the search."

"There is no country in the world that will never perish, but if a country wants to survive forever, it should always limit plundering, so that the speed of private accumulation can be as high as possible higher than the speed of plundering... This will fail sooner or later, maybe in two or three hundred years

, maybe five or six hundred years, maybe thousands of years..."

"Can it really... last for thousands of years?"

"It may not be possible, but we always have to do it in this direction." Wu Jie said lightly - he was too lazy to laugh at the old censor at this moment, "To test the jade, the jade worker needs to put it in the fire and burn it for three times.

God, what is indestructible is the real treasure; if a country does not work hard in the direction of future generations, it will soon be finished."
