Because of Mrs. Tang's appearance, the atmosphere in the room was eased a little. After sitting down again, Li Muyun sighed with emotion: "Old Tang, from a subjective point of view, I admire you for being able to stick to your point of view."

County Magistrate Tang is also an old man. How could he not hear Li Muyun's words? He ignored his wife who was flirting with her eyes on the side and said directly: "Since that's the case, I guess the prince must have other positions, right?"

"Of course." Li Muyun nodded. Although his tone was not as heavy as before, it was still very sharp: "But it was your persistence that made the people under his rule suffer countless grievances with you."

County Magistrate Tang didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Muyun quietly, with anger flashing in his eyes, as if waiting for him to finish his words.

Li Muyun didn't be polite to him and continued, "The reason I say this is because of your stubbornness and your scholarly aura. You are obviously wrong but don't know how to repent. With your self-righteous passion, you don't know that your kindness will eventually become a stumbling block for the people to seek a better life."

"Prince, you seem to have said this before?" County Magistrate Tang finally couldn't help but feel angry and contradicted him.

"Have you passed? I'm afraid it may not be! Although the Wanxian County under your rule is stability, have you ever thought about it? Since Wanian County is under Chang'an and Chang'an is the capital of our Tang Dynasty, should your Wanian County play an example?"

"Can Wannian County not be used as a role model now? Under my rule, the people live and work in peace and contentment..."

"That's your opinion, not everyone's opinion. If you keep looking at the good places and just want to look at your own achievements, then you will never see the sufferings of the people and will never know what the people really need."

The anger between Li Muyun and the Tang County Magistrate became increasingly fierce, and the sharp words made the Tang County Magistrate's old face turn blue and red.

But the magistrate of Tang had to admit that Li Muyun's words were correct in some ways. It is normal for people to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. Anyway, it is almost the norm for grassroots officials to focus on their past achievements and work hard to complete their own jobs.

No one likes to try new policies, because new represents uncertainty, risk, and ten years of hard study may be wasted because of a small failure.

After a long time, the old Tang boss seemed to have figured out something and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid to tell you the truth. Not a very individual has a strong backer. Sometimes you can afford to toss, but we can't afford to toss, and if we make mistakes, we will not only be doomed, but will even implicate our family."

"Master..." Mrs. Tang felt that the old man's words were a bit touching, and he quickly wanted to stop them, but before he finished speaking, Li Muyun had already spoken: "I'm the one named Tang, I'll just ask you one thing, is the position under your butt important, or is the common people in the world important? You pat your conscience, think about your original ambitions, and answer me honestly."

As if he knew that County Magistrate Tang could not answer this question at all, Li Muyun just gave a slight salute and continued: "I remember someone told me that it is better to go home to plant grains than to be an official and not to make decisions for the people. You said that I have a backer, which is not good. I do have a backer and it is very powerful, but so what? If I have a backer, you don't have one?"

"Your Majesty said that the king is the boat, the people are the water, and water can carry the boat and can also overturn the boat. If you are dedicated to the people, then the people under your rule will be your greatest backer. Even if they are not reliable, can I not be reliable? As long as you want to do things for the people, can I, the King of Xiaoyao, still be able to protect you as a fifth-rank county magistrate?"

Now that the Tang County Magistrate was exhausted, he had to admit that Li Muyun was right. How can an official not be a ruling person and seeking welfare for the people? What is the difference between it and a salted fish?

Looking back on the past, the scholarly businessman was a heroic young man. He entered the officialdom and wanted to seek peace for the people of the world. But where did his ambition go now? Why do he think about safely every day?

Before he knew it, County Magistrate Tang looked at his old wife and found that his old wife was looking at him affectionately, with encouragement, comfort and support in his eyes.

She didn't say anything, but for decades, the magistrate of Tang could see the meaning of his wife's eyes at a glance. She was encouraging herself not to forget her original ambitions and advised herself not to feel ashamed of her conscience.

Forget it, forgot it, since that's the case, there is nothing more to say. Just fight for it. Successfully promoted it, glorify the ancestors, and fail... At worst, it's just an exile. I just hope that the young man in front of me will be convinced and I don't expect him to protect himself. As long as he can protect his wife and children, it's fine.

Thinking of this, a resoluteness flashed in the eyes of the county magistrate Tang, and he said with a sigh: "Well, since the prince has said this, I will give it my best this time and accompany you for a while."

Li Muyun rubbed his temples with laughter and tears: "Hey, Lao Tang, don't mess with this matter. I just asked you to mobilize the people to raise fish, not to let you rebel, why bother to go to the execution ground?"

The magistrate of Tang County did not take Li Muyun's stubbornness, but asked seriously: "Your Majesty, you said you want to raise fish. I wonder if you can tell the officials how to let the people raise fish, where will the fish come from? Where should I raise it?"

"The fish come naturally from the river. After fishing, after laying eggs, put the fry into the water. As for where to raise it... there is water and there is fish. How come there is no place to raise it? If it really doesn't work, keep it in the rice fields."

"What? Raising fish in the rice fields?" For some reason, County Magistrate Tang suddenly felt that his head was about to be unable to be saved.

Li Muyun smiled and said, "Why can't fish be raised in the rice fields? Toads can run around in the fields, why can't fish be allowed? The so-called practice brings true knowledge. If you don't raise it last time, how can you not raise it if you know it?"

There are many such examples in rice fields. For this reason, many places have also gained a lot of experience.

But Li Muyun didn't know that much. He had only heard about raising fish in rice fields. He happened to think of eating fish a few days ago.

So he came to find the magistrate Tang of Wannian County, intending to give some benefits to the people in his fiefdom. But he didn't expect that the old man was stubborn like a donkey and had to talk for a long time before he could explain the matter clearly.

But the magistrate of County Tang didn't think so at this time. Seeing Li Muyun looking relaxed and indifferent, he said angrily: "Prince, you are a joke and are not responsible to the people of the world. You..."
