Chapter 637 Taking Office on Penglai Island
Chapter 637 Taking Office on Penglai Island
Honestly, I truly believe I've done more than enough, and my methods have been extremely gentle.
In my opinion, this race, which is wicked to the core, should be completely slaughtered.
Then they will fall into the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reborn.
Then Shen Ruyi wrote, "Those officials in the imperial court must be so idle."
They don't think about how to do their job well for you, they don't think about helping you solve your problems, and they don't think about seeking benefits for the people.
They actually spent a huge sum of money to travel so far and make such a big fuss to stand up for these Japanese pirates and speak out against their injustice.
Is this something a normal person from the Dali era would do? What were they thinking?
Why would they stand up for the Japanese pirates instead of the people of our Great Li Dynasty? What are they thinking? Is their brain filled with grass or shit?
Are they out of their minds? It's one thing to not understand right from wrong, but they can't even tell the difference between inside and outside.
What are their nationalities?
Not only do they not consider the issue from the perspective of our Great Li Dynasty, but they also attack one of our Great Li people because of a foreign Japanese pirate.
They wouldn't do something so illogical if their brains weren't filled with ten pounds of shit.
I just want to ask, how did they manage to do something so stupid?
Isn't this just making enemies happy and friends sad? Are they stupid? How did they get their positions? Could they have been incompetent officials who climbed the ranks by bribery?
They receive the stipends of our Great Li Dynasty and enjoy the wealth and honor bestowed upon them by you, yet they are powerless to help you solve your problems.
We could argue that it was due to their dullness and lack of ability.
They don't even have a proper political stance, which is purely malicious. I'm starting to doubt their bloodline.
Could it be that they are truly descendants of these Japanese people, which is why they can't stand this person who specifically jumped out to speak out for their Japanese ancestors?
Or are they descendants of other neighboring countries, who have been lurking in our Great Li Dynasty for a long time, deliberately stirring up trouble and causing chaos in order to undermine the foundation of our Great Li Dynasty?
Otherwise, it simply doesn't make sense.
When it comes to donating money in daily life, they are all incredibly stingy and adept at pretending to be poor.
One person said they were almost out of rice, while another said their daughter's dowry was still undecided.
But in this particular matter, they've suddenly become wealthy and generous, throwing money around lavishly.
He traveled thousands of miles back and forth several times, even spending a fortune to bring Japanese pirates to the capital, all to take charge of these pirates.
This action is truly touching; it would be inexcusable if they weren't the filial sons and grandsons of these Japanese pirates.
Or were they deliberately bringing these Japanese pirates in to scout out the area, so they wouldn't get lost when they sought revenge in the future?
Seriously, I've never seen such an idiot. As a member of the Great Li Dynasty, shouldn't you stand firmly on the side of the Great Li Dynasty and consider and handle problems from its perspective?
Shouldn't we think more about the future generations of our Dali?
If we don't eradicate these Japanese, are we going to let them live until they become powerful and then come back to overthrow our country and bully our people?
Like begets like. A rat's son knows how to dig holes. A robber is a robber, and a robber's son will most likely be a robber too.
If you encounter robbers or their parents and relatives, why not eliminate the threat once and for all? What are you waiting for?
Even the most irrational person wouldn't use this to impeach or attack me.
I really don't know whether to say they're too smart or incredibly stupid.
They can keep an eye on me to see if I'm corrupt or seeking personal gain.
Instead of staring at this every day, I'm already annoyed even if they aren't.
Am I doing this for myself? No one in my family has died under the swords of these Japanese pirates, nor have we been burned, killed, or looted by them.
I don't have any direct, deep-seated hatred for these Japanese pirates, so why would I bother with this?
It's not that we have no choice but to stand up and be the villain for the sake of our future generations; that's why we decided to do this.
What? I'm willing to bear this infamy alone. As the beneficiaries of this, how dare they come out and cause me trouble?
In my opinion, they're just living too well and have too much free time, so they're just bored out of their minds.
Your Majesty, since these men admire and respect these Japanese pirates so much, how about this?
Let them go to Penglai Island to seek benefits for their ancestors, those Japanese pirates. I won't object to whatever they want to do.
What's the point of just attacking me? It doesn't solve any real problems.
All you can do is talk the talk, make sarcastic remarks, that's so boring.
This does not demonstrate their noble character, nor does it reflect their kindness, righteousness, or scholarly integrity.
Since they are so willing, then I respectfully request Your Majesty to grant permission to send these officials to Penglai Island to take up their posts.
Go and replace the officials we sent over before; they've been there for a while now.
It's time to let them go home and reunite with their families.
Is it as useful and practical to make decisions for the Japanese in the imperial court with words as to make decisions in their fiefdoms?
Rest assured, whether they offer these Japanese people medical treatment, give them money, or send them women for free, I promise I will not interfere or say a word. If I say anything more, it would be because I am ignorant.
Really, I promise, everything is done according to their wishes.
I would have no objection even if they let their daughters marry these Japanese pirates, or let their sons marry Japanese women.
I can even contribute a gift of money.
Although I don't have any great abilities, I can still listen to good advice.
I am a hard-hearted person who cannot empathize with these Japanese pirates, and I am indeed not good at governing this area.
They were particularly empathetic to the hardships these Japanese pirates faced; no one was more suitable to govern this area than them.
Then it would be just right for them to go there.
Don't worry, I will absolutely not interfere or meddle after they go there. They can do whatever they want; I will give them complete autonomy.
Also, remember to bring your whole family with you when you go. That fertile land has great potential, and they are the perfect match for it.
I hope that these families can take root and establish themselves on this fertile land, and build this place they love for a long time to come.
Fertile land needs people who love it so much; I sincerely invite and welcome them to come.
When the emperor saw Shen Ruyi's reply, he almost burst out laughing. Luckily, he hadn't drunk any tea, or he would have definitely spat it out.
"Hahaha...hahaha...hahaha, it has to be her, hahaha..."
The official laughed for a long, long time. Little Black Charcoal's mouth had never disappointed him.
As sharp and interesting as ever, "That makes sense, that makes perfect sense, let's do it that way."
