I Taught Lao Zhu, the Poisonous Man of the Ming Dynasty, to Govern the Country in Reverse

In the Hongwu Year, Li Nian traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and happened to meet Lao Zhu for a private visit in disguise. Unexpectedly, the original host was a corrupt official. As soon as he traveled through time, he was caught and thrown into prison, and he was not punished. At the critical moment, Lao Zhu came to prison. Lao Zhu: "According to Ming Dynasty law, should you corrupt officials be killed?" Li Nian: "You shouldn't kill them. Capable corrupt officials can be reused to solve the problem of talent scarcity in the Ming Dynasty." Lao Zhu: "It's a good idea." Li Nian: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet. I'll kill you when I'm done." Lao Zhu: "..." ... Lao Zhu: "What should I do if an upright official disobeys me?" Li Nian: "Lure them into corruption, destroy their innocence, use this as a handle, and kill them if they don't obey." Lao Zhu: "We want to march to the north, but what should we do if the ministers don't agree?" Li Nian: "This is easy to do. We can arrest their wives and children. Anyone who disagrees will be sent to the border." This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
