"Why?" Wang Cui was still young after all, and she couldn't help but indulge in her husband's masculinity.

"Because Hai Gangfeng always puts the people first." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "The officials who talk about 'people-oriented' are like the sands of the Ganges River, but there are too few people who can practice this, so officials like me who are from a juren stand out."

As he said that, he said with a heartache: "Jiangnan is known as the hometown of fish and rice. When the weather is good, the people can only fill their stomachs. When there is a famine, they will immediately eat but not fill their stomachs and sell their children! People suffer from their birth, but their hard work will still not change their destiny. Is this because the people are lazy and stupid?"

"Of course not! The people of our Ming Dynasty are the most diligent and smart! It is caused by the aggregation of powerful people for a hundred years, the rich are in a row, and the poor are in a place without a place! It is caused by the collusion between officials and gentry to avoid taxes and service, and put all the burden on the people! It is caused by the naked bullying of the weak by the power!"

"What's even more terrifying is that the cost of studying is getting higher and higher, and even the third generation cannot afford a scholar. Even the people's upward path has been tightly blocked. What is the "Being a farmer in the morning and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening"?! It's been so many years, and no noble sons from poor families have appeared again! If you don't believe it, look at the two Jinshis that are once every three years, which one is a mud-legged child?!"

Hai Rui became more and more angry as he spoke. He had forgotten his original intention of coaxing his wife. He gritted his teeth with a ferocious face: "Does the people be born like this?!"

"Ah?" Wang Cui opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer. "No, it shouldn't..."

"Of course not!" Hai Rui raised his head and shouted too much, "In this dynasty for two hundred years, who did not get up from the mud? Why do they have to enjoy the glory of generations after they get up? They have to let others sink into the sea of ​​suffering for generations and never have a chance to stand out?"

"All this is not the fault of the people, it is the fault of the Ming Dynasty, the fault of the officials, and the fault of the gentry! In the end, it is the people who bear all the consequences. Everyone turns a blind eye to this, or pretends to be invisible when they see it, and they are embarrassed to say something 'people-oriented', which is disgusting! It's so disgusting!"

"But what can you do alone?" Wang Cui was convinced, but she was frightened when she heard it.

"Maybe I can't do anything. But even though I know this, I pretend not to know and enjoy the treatment of a fourth-rank official with peace of mind. Hai Gangfeng is one of their accomplices!"

Hai Rui has completely entered the state and replied sharply:

"The people are the best bullying and the worst bullying! No one speaks for the people, no one decides for the poor, no one suppresses the greed of the powerful. In the end, the people will get up and ask for an explanation for themselves, make the decision for themselves, and kill those powerful themselves!"

"At that time, it will be the scene of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The general collapses and the world is in chaos. Everyone will be crushed into mud in the war. The nobler the more you are, the miserable it will be!"

"Is this really the case?" Wang was frightened.

"If no one comes forward to make changes, we will see that day." Hai Rui sighed and said, "By then, not only will our small family not be able to be protected, but all the families in this country will suffer..."

"Then you go." Wang bit his lip for a moment, and finally let go: "I won't hold you back. Even if I can't save the Ming Dynasty, it's better to save more people."

"Cui'er, you are really my good wife." Hai Rui calmed down at this moment and said to himself secretly, "Why did I tell her this?" She was frightened and scared in vain.

But after saying it, there was nothing to regret. He sighed relievedly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the only one who saw this crisis, but also many aspiring people worked together."

"Is Mr. Xiao Zhao?" Wang asked softly.

"Yeah." Hai Rui nodded and smiled, "That boy gave me the greatest hope. He was born to know, and knew everything, especially good at economics, as if Wen Zhen was alive."

"It's so amazing..." Wang was also from Qiongshan, so he naturally knew Qiu Jun's position in the hearts of scholars, and he was like a god.

"It's not an exaggeration." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "Donald Wenzhen once said, 'Those who are good at enriching the country must first manage the people's wealth, and those who are managing the country's wealth are second.' From this point of view, he is probably even better than the Grand Master Xia in Yongle time. He can be said to be the richest country in my Ming Dynasty."

"That's the case, then I'll be relieved." Wang finally got up from Hai Rui and took off the cold foot washing water channel: "I hope you can work together to make the Ming Dynasty live for a few more years."

"It will definitely happen." Hai Rui said confidently: "The requirements of our people are the lowest. As long as they have food to eat and live in, they will not rebel. If we can't even do this, it's a stupid pig, no, both!"

"I don't care. I want a child next year..." Wang got on the bed and got into the quilt. After saying it like a mosquito, he quickly covered his head.

Hai Rui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is not difficult."

So he got into the quilt and blew the light.

Crunch...

~~

The next morning, Zhao Hao was still sleeping, so he heard Gao Wu report from outside that Hai Rui was here.

In a daze, Mr. Zhao thought he had returned to Beijing and lived next door with his two families.

Unexpectedly, when I came to Nanjing, I could not escape the fate of being called early by the sea fighters.

Secretary Ma didn't bother to comb his hair, so he quickly put on his middle clothes and put on Zhao Hao's clothes.

When Mr. Zhao yawned out of the bedroom, he saw Hai Rui walking around the yard with his hands behind his back.

"You are not old, but I still have to grow up." Mr. Zhao said unhappy.

"Who said I'm older? Humph, I'm very young!" Hai Rui had a confident smile on his face, and he didn't know what happened last night.

"Oh?" Zhao Hao suddenly shuddered and stared at Hai Rui wide, saying, "What? Mr. Hai changed his mind?"

"Not bad." Hai Rui said lightly: "But you'll do it first."

After saying that, he handed Zhao Hao a bag of things, turned around and walked away with big striking steps.

"This is what Hai'an got up before dawn, and I'll give you a taste of his skills."

"I've come here, just have some food. Don't rush to leave." Mr. Zhao insisted.

"I am never late." Hai Rui shook his head flatly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, why did he change his mind?" Another old man who didn't realize it walked to Zhao Hao with his hands behind his back.

"Because he is Hai Gangfeng." Zhao Hao smiled with relief.

"What is this?" Zhao Liben muttered, opened the cloth bag in his hand, and saw that there were triangular things wrapped in banana leaves, like rice dumplings.

"Grandpa, we must help him become Governor Yingtian this time." Zhao Hao was full of expectations.

"That's more important." Zhao Liben said as he opened the banana leaves and tasted the milky white rice cake inside. He immediately had a rich coconut fragrance and the chewy texture was impressive.

"Oh, my dentures..." Unfortunately, this kind of food seems not very friendly to Mr. Zhao.
