I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 26 Criticism
Presidential Palace.

Li Ming, who looks much more mature now, is leaning on a rocking chair, holding a stack of documents, nodding or shaking his head from time to time.

"It's already this late, and you're still here looking at these things?!"

An angry voice suddenly rang out.

"Hahaha, Lao Wen, what brings you here?" Li Ming casually put the information in his hand on the small table next to the rocking chair, and did not forget to pick up a cup of tea and take a sip.

"You," a half-old man with frosted hair and wearing a blue robe pointed at Li Ming with anger on his face and said, "How dare you ask? How many days have you not been to the meeting?"

"How many days have you not attended the meeting?" Li Ming rolled his eyes and pretended to calculate with his hands.

"Since the 8th, how many days have passed since today?"

"Oh, you said that my memory is not good at my age. What day is it today?"

As he spoke, he picked up the documents on the table and wanted to take a look.

"There are no dates on pornographic tabloids!!!" Wen Zhixian stared at the newspaper in Li Ming's hand, his face turning cold.

Li Mingze laughed and said, "Oh, is this a pornographic newspaper? Oh, who put it here? What will happen if it gets out? My reputation will be ruined in an instant. You are really not a good man. My Prime Minister Wen, take it and destroy it now while no one knows about it."

"It started on the 8th of last month!!!" Wen Zhixian cursed with a murderous look on his face.

"You son of a bitch, you have no conscience. Ever since you became Prime Minister, you've been a hands-off boss, throwing all the dirty work to me. It's been twelve years. Do you know how I've been living these past twelve years?"

"You've been playing Greedy Blue Moon for twelve years?"

"Huh? What Blue Moon?" Wen Zhixian was stunned.

"Oh, nothing. Boss Wen, please continue scolding me." Li Ming looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"If you ask me, Lao Wen, you shouldn't take politics too seriously. When you have time, practice more. Look at your hair, it's all white. And look at me, I'm in great spirits!"

"Alas, I'm not as carefree as you." Wen Zhixian sighed helplessly, and after a long while he asked, "Do you really want to quit?"

"Well, wasn't this agreed upon long ago? One term is four years, three at most." Li Ming smiled.

"After the literary and martial arts exams are over?"

"Well, look at these young people again."

"By the way, what do you think of that kid from the Wang family?"

"He can be a general, but not a marshal."

"What about two more years of training?"

"Two years isn't enough."

"Is the Liang family kid qualified to take over?"

"Who else is there besides him?"

"Yeah, who else can be the tallest among the short ones?"

At the end of June, the civil and military examinations were held successively, and Zhu Xi and Wu Wang both stood out. Of course, this was just a trivial matter for the entire Datong. There was only one real big thing.

Zhang Mingyu, step down from the wild and return to the forest!

His successor was Liang Guodong, who lived up to his name and became a pillar of the country.

After three months.

"Academician Li, it's time to get your salary. Let's go?" Wu Wang touched the purse at his waist with a smile on his face.

"Oh, you, oh, young man, do you think it's easy for you to earn a few cents? Ah, all day long..."

"Then let's not be critical, let's just take a critical tour, right?" Wu Wang said in a flattering manner but he couldn't help criticizing in his heart.

Damn, I don’t know who said he would take me to see something nice on the first day he came. I don’t know how many years this old guy has been in the capital. Even with such a severe crackdown, he can always find a place. It really opens my eyes every time.

"Okay." Li Ming nodded helplessly and said, "Then take me to the criticism?" "Yes, yes, it's all mine. But Academician Li, I want to bring a good friend today. Is that okay with you?"

"Bring a friend?" Li Ming instantly became alert. "Who are the friends you're talking about?"

"He is the civil servant who passed the exam with me, but he works in the Ministry of Justice." Wu Wang did not hide it.

"Oh, you really want to punish me. Are you going to bring civil servants from the Ministry of Justice to criticize me?" Li Ming smiled lightly.

"Well, isn't that what our Lord Zhang said? The strongest bond between men is nothing more than studying together, carrying guns together, and visiting prostitutes together."

"Shut up!" Li Ming's face changed and he punched Wu Wang hard in the chest.

"We're just criticizing each other. Okay, after get off work, bring that friend to Fairy Street and wait for me. You'll pay for tonight's meals."

"Okay, Academician Li, everything is mine!" Wu Wang agreed with a smile on his face.

Fairy Street, right? Great, I’ve developed another location.

The afternoon working hours always go by very slowly, especially the quarter of an hour before getting off work.

"Don't run!"

"stop!"

A large group of patrol officers in tight clothes sped past on the street, and several figures covering their heads and faces fled in all directions. One of them climbed over the wall across the yard with ease and speed as fast as the wind.

"It was a close call. Fortunately, I was more skilled!" Li Ming, who was holding on to the wall, was breathing heavily and laughing at Wu Wang, who was speechless across from him.

"You're no match for me, young man! You've only climbed a few walls, and you're already out of breath!"

"Old Li, you..." Wu Wang paused for a long time before saying the second half of the sentence.

"How come you run so fast?"

"I can tell you haven't properly studied Document No. 7, which was issued last month. Flowing your zhenqi to the Qufeng and Chiyou acupoints beneath your feet, and then stimulating them at a specific frequency, can significantly enhance the motor capacity of your calf muscles. Combined with the Lifting and Vertical Technique, scaling walls and crossing courtyards is a piece of cake. This is Academician Yang's latest research."

"Yes, is that so?" Wu Wang paused for a long time before continuing the conversation.

"broken!"

"What's wrong?" Li Ming asked.

"My friend hasn't come out yet." Wu Wang shouted, a look of horror appearing on his face.

"Hey, why are you worrying about it? I think that kid from the Zhu family is very smart. Even if you go in, he can run out. Why are you still worried about him? Besides, to be honest, today is a casual game. It's just a foot massage. So what if I get caught? If I wasn't old and afraid of getting out and ruining my reputation, I wouldn't bother to run away." Li Ming shrugged, looking indifferent.

Are you still worried about your reputation? Everyone in our hospital knows that you are a shameless old man who deliberately harms young men and leads them astray.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still replied, "That's fine. I hope that good things will happen to him. Don't ruin his future."

Li Ming laughed and said, "They have been open for business since ancient times, but this dynasty has banned it. Do you know why?"

Wu Wang shook his head and said, "Maybe the leader doesn't like it."

"Him? He might like it." Li Ming said with a smile, "But if the sex trade is not banned, won't women become commodities? How can we talk about equality?"

Li Ming sighed leisurely, "People's mindsets are the hardest to change. Even though the Datong government has issued repeated orders strictly prohibiting the flesh trade, it still persists. Do you know why?"

Wu Wang said, "Where there's demand, there's a market, unless there's no one to criticize."

Li Ming said, "That's one of the reasons, but these people aren't buying a moment of pleasure, they're buying a feeling of superiority. These remnants of the old era can only flaunt their power in the gutter. Alas, it's easy to achieve universal peace, but it's hard to achieve equality for all. Forget about romance, just look at how many slaves are still around. They've just changed their name to farmhands. You have a long way to go, boy."

Wu Wang nodded, not quite understanding, and felt that this shameless old man suddenly had a bit more unfathomable mystery.

It was a long time later that he found out why the places the old man took him to were raided within two days.
