Ren Ruyi looked at the smile on Jin Meiniang's face.
"It sounds like you like Liguo very much."
Jin Meiniang's tone became gentler: "Your Majesty, if you have the chance, you can also go to Li Country to have a look, maybe you will like Li Country too.
Perhaps there is no such thing as absolute fairness in the Kingdom of Li. Corrupt officials still exist, and the phenomenon of oppressing others will still exist.
But at least the oppressed people can receive a considerable amount of compensation. As long as no one is killed, most people are willing to accept the compensation that they will never be able to earn in their entire lifetime.
If someone is killed, the government will appear to be on their side, but will privately persuade them to accept compensation, and then let them take the compensation and recommend them to a place called Dark Lake.
Dark Lake is a killer organization that dares to kill anyone as long as they receive money.
They claimed that as long as the other party could pay, they would dare to kill even the emperor. "
Ren Ruyi was a little surprised. He didn't seem to expect that there was such a place in Li Country. This place was even recommended by the government.
"Recommended by the government? Could it be that Dark Lake is..."
Jin Mei Niang chuckled: "Dark Lake is the eldest princess's property, and you will never guess who the number one assassin in Dark Lake is."
Ren Ru thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Could it be the eldest princess?"
Jin Mei Niang: "To be precise, it was the deputy general beside General Zhenyuan, that is, the seventh guard beside the princess.
After all, the opponent's martial arts is considered to be the best in the world, how could he be just a deputy general?
But only a few people know about this.”
Ren Ruyi frowned and thought about Li Guo's intention.
"Aren't they afraid of being blamed for their bad reputation? They appear to be biased, but when the people see it, it's just collusion between officials and businessmen."
Jin Mei Niang: "I have also asked this question, but Li Hua Shi's answer is that there is always a loss, and losing reputation is the smallest loss of interest for them.
The Li State will deal with corrupt officials according to the circumstances. If they are smart and only greedy for money, they are greedy for less, do not kill people, and do not make a big deal out of things, the government will turn a blind eye if they are given some benefits.
In the words of Li Huashi, corrupt officials cannot be completely eliminated, so why not just let them go and wait until they are fattened up before finding an opportunity to kill them.
If corrupt officials are killed and some of their profits are used to serve the people, the reputation of the court will be restored."
Ren Ruyi's expression was indescribable, she didn't know whether this method was good or bad.
Is it really a good thing for a country to encourage corrupt officials?
As if she could see what Ren Ruyi was thinking, Jin Meiniang said, "In fact, most people are not stupid. They saw how the Li Kingdom enriched its treasury.
Therefore, there are really not many fools in the country of Li who dare to take human lives lightly and hand the handle to the superiors.
After all, the most unreasonable person in the entire Li Kingdom is the one above. After all, he got the throne in such an unreasonable way.
There are even some wealthy businessmen who made their money in an innocent way, but because they are too timid and afraid that after they become "fat," they will be "slaughtered" by those in power on some charge, they will do some good things, help the people, and donate their assets to build bridges and roads."
Ren Ruyi didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, she chuckled and said, "Women from the Li Kingdom can also be officials. Do you have an official position in the Li Kingdom?"
Jin Mei Niang: "I have no official position in Li, but several of my subordinates have entered the court, and there is a dispatch department in all major cities of Li.
As long as you think you are capable, regardless of gender, you can sign up, and the court will assign a position or job based on that person's ability.
Even if you have no abilities, you can still spend money to enroll in the dispatch department for training, and then be assigned a job after you finish your training.
Even if you are a beggar with no money, you can owe it first and then pay it back after you are assigned a job.
Merchants like us or officials of the imperial court can also apply for the assignment of subordinates when we need manpower, and we only need to pay a part of the agency fee.
Some of the women under my command went to work for the imperial court. We established a branch of Jinsha Tower in Li State. Although I am the boss, when I am not in Li State, the people in charge are the people sent by the imperial court.
It was Zhuiya who suggested that I apply for the staff assignment, which would save me a lot of trouble. With the support of the Princess and Zhuiya, I don’t have to worry about any problems with my subordinates.”
Ren Ruyi: "So, you support what Li Guo is going to do next."
Jin Mei Niang paused, remained silent for a while, then nodded: "I know that many people will die in the war."
Ren Ruyi: "Because of the reasons you mentioned before?"
Jin Mei Niang: "Yes, in addition to that, it's also because... at least in Li, no one will starve to death. Even if they are orphans, there are departments established by the government to raise them.
Even if the government raises an orphan, the government should not force the person to work for the government. The person only needs to pay back the money the government spent on raising the orphan, along with interest, and then he will be free to do what he wants. "
Ren Ruyi didn't say anything else. It was undeniable that such a life was indeed the best for ordinary people.
Perhaps, for women like her, with the same fate, it would be a good thing if they could be sold to a place like Li.
After a while, a cheerful voice came from behind them.
"Mei Niang! Let's go to the suburbs for a picnic! Have a bonfire party! Yu Shisan will perform a striptease!"
As soon as Li Huashi finished her cheerful words, Yu Shisan's hurried voice sounded behind her.
"When did I say I was going to perform a striptease?! I didn't!!"
Li Huashi shook her head stubbornly: "Then I don't care~ You can show off your good dancing skills and say that we can sing and dance together."
Jin Meiniang paused, and couldn't help wondering, what were these people talking about? Why were they singing and dancing together, and going on a picnic together?
But compared to Li Huashi's happiness, Jin Meiniang glanced at Hu Qi who was standing beside Li Huashi and seemed to have a feeling of despair.
Jin Meiniang raised her eyebrows: "Have you finished the work piled up in the study? You are not planning to ask Hu Qi to do it for you again tonight?"
Li Huashi snorted in dissatisfaction: "Mei Niang is spoiling the fun! Hu Qi didn't say anything!"
Jin Meiniang looked at Li Huashi with a smile on her face. She didn't know what Hu Qi, that guy, would say since he would only help the evil.
Li Huashi seemed to understand what Jin Meiniang meant. She blinked and smiled at her.
"Hehe, Mei Niang, you originally stayed in An Dynasty for many years, right?"
As soon as Li Huashi opened her mouth, Jin Meiniang guessed what she wanted to say.
Li Huashi jumped to Jin Meiniang and patted her shoulder with a serious look.
"You are most familiar with your territory, Mei Niang. It is time for you to contribute to your hometown. I declare that you will be the mayor of Andu from now on."
After Li Huashi finished speaking, she didn't care about Jin Meiniang's reaction and pulled Hu Qi and ran out.
While running, he shouted: "Mei Niang, remember to take care of your official business!"
Jin Mei Niang: She just knew...
