665 Speeches
Lin Zhen's apology attracted countless people's attention. Gradually, the square at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded by people of all kinds, including ordinary people, wealthy merchants, as well as civil servants from Ryukyu and military generals from the new army.
In the end, even King Shangtai came to the crowd casually, and a group of foreigners whispered beside King Shangtai. After a while, Lin Zhen's classmates and comrades in the new army also came, and they didn't dare to persuade him if they wanted to persuade him.
Amid the buzzing and noisy discussion, the Lin family's servants ran over with the bed. Lin Yuanmiao, who was wearing white cloth on it, was sweating profusely on him.
"The criminal Lin Yuanmiao has let down the Prime Minister's love and committed suicide... I only ask the Prime Minister to punish me, so I will not implicate my child, beg the Prime Minister... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
If the Prime Minister is angry, he will die. Even children understand this truth in Ryukyu. Now the Prime Minister's anger has been burning for six days. The Ryukyu civil servants and generals were investigated and turned to the sky. Lin Yuanmiao was kneeling in the Prime Minister's Mansion and was not forgiven.
This is the sign of Xingda Prison. Could it be that the 700,000 yuan corrupt silver will be confiscated and destroyed?
Xiao Letian's Prime Minister's Mansion was actually transformed by the earliest military camp in Liyuan, Huashan. The originally exquisite Japanese courtyard was preserved. The military camp behind was cut in. The square at the main entrance was widened, so that thousands of people could gather here.
Just as the father and son of the Lin family kowtowed like pounding garlic and people were talking about it, there was a sound of standing attentively and saluting in the gate, and people knew that the prime minister had come out.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone stood up to show respect. After Xiao Letian, who was wearing military uniform, walked out of the door, all the soldiers present stood attentively and saluted, all the foreigners took off their hats and bowed, and the rest was a bow.
Xiao Letian raised his hand and replied with a military salute, then looked at the Lin family's father and son calmly.
"Do you know why I haven't seen you these days?"
"I know, the Prime Minister is angry, my father and son know that they are guilty... We are willing to spend all our family wealth and atone for their sins." The two bowed but did not dare to get up.
"Wrong, although I'm angry, I haven't lost my mind yet. Since you have returned the stolen goods, there is no reason to die. There is no such law in Ryukyu... I haven't seen you get up, but you haven't figured out some problems, but now you have figured out."
"Why do you want to embezzle? It's obvious that money is already rich enough to live, why do you still need to embezzle? What is the deep-seated reason? What kind of values are supporting your behavior."
After hearing this series of rhetorical questions, the monk Zaichun, who was hidden in the crowd, was full of energy, and all the civil and military officials all raised their ears. They knew that what the Prime Minister was going to say later was probably the outline of future governance.
"Everything has its source, and floods are rolling in. Blindly unblocking water without finding water sources will always be half the result with twice the effort. The same is true for people's hearts. I want to ask you, what did you think when you were corrupt at that time?"
Lin Yuanmiao burst into tears, "The criminal minister was ashamed of greed, and his white money messed up my heart... I, I, I am ashamed of the Prime Minister."
"Greed, can greed really explain everything by the word "greed"? I ask you, why don't you greed get rid of money from carpenters, stonemasons, bricklayers on the construction site, fishermen on the seaside, and farmers in the fields have money, why don't you greed?"
Lin Zhen stopped doing this. He straightened his waist and said, "Prime Minister, you can't insult us. My Lin family is greedy, but they will not take food from the people. The money earned by craftsmen and farmers in a busy year has to support their families. Our Lin family is not so rude..."
"Ah, I understand. If the people have less money, you will not be greedy. If the businessmen have more money, you will be greedy. This is what you really think."
A sentence made the Lin family speech suddenly frustrated, and the people around them were whispering. Xiao Letian stopped asking questions, and he began to answer his own questions.
"It took me six days to sort out the context of this problem. In fact, the root of it is still in our culture. We all know that Ryukyu is deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Everything is inferior, but the concept of high school students, peasants, industry and commerce are the first, has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts..."
"Instead of saying that you are greedy, I think it is better to say that it is the consequence of the official-oriented thinking. You are essentially a bureaucrat. In your heart, officials are the highest, while merchants are inferior. When you see merchants making money, you will naturally be unwilling to accept it. The demons in your subconscious will try their best to encourage you..."
"Look, a lowly businessman can actually make millions in one transaction, and their family wealth is actually more than his first-rank official. How can this be..."
Xiao Letian looked at all the onlookers present and shouted loudly, "Ask your heart, ask your conscience yourself, and tell yourself if you have such thoughts."
"In your subconscious, officials should be noble, and merchants should be lowly... So you have to suppress merchants throughout the dynasties. As long as their wealth is exposed more than yours, you have to take action. You have to take away some of them to make up for your loss and unwillingness..."
"Haha... Why can't China be industrialized until now? Why can't capitalism sprout? Ultimately, it's the bureaucratic group's suppression of businessmen..."
Li Mi's argument shocked everyone present, including Hu Xueyan and other merchants who did not leave. They didn't know why their eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"Why do Chinese businessmen buy land when making money, hide money in the cellar when making money, and buy official positions when making money. Isn't it that you, the bureaucrats, are afraid of killing you?"
"The Jiangnan region has had a spectacular scene of 100,000 looms roaring as early as the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Jiangnan could have been ten or a hundred times more than Britain, but why was it not as good as our UK invented the Jenny textile machine? Why was industrialized in the people enlightened?"
"Are we Chinese people not rich? Are we Chinese people not smart enough? I'm wrong, it's because we Chinese people are too smart, so they have long seen through what you bureaucrats are in the stomachs, so they dare not carry out industrial upgrading..."
"A medium-sized original brocade factory can be built with 100,000 taels of silver, but only 100,000 taels of silver have to be exploited by bureaucrats. The more they invest, the more they invest, the fat sheep and pigs are in the eyes of bureaucrats..."
"If a new type of silk reeling factory, spinning mill, brocade factory is built in Jiangnan, and investing millions or tens of millions of silver. How can such a large-scale production be made without making money? Who among merchants does not know the higher the output, the lower the cost? You Hu Xueyan doesn't know, and the old shopkeeper Fan Jian doesn't know."
"But no one dared. The industrial upgrading that could be carried out in the Ming Dynasty was killed by you bureaucrats. If a mountain of tens of millions of taels of silver appeared in Jiangnan, you bureaucrats would be able to keep their mouths in check, what are you kidding..."
Xiao Letian became more and more excited and finally shouted, "There are also the maritime bans in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Don't think that I don't know the tricks. The bureaucrats in the court all shouted for maritime bans and could not do business. However, Western archaeology has long verified that in those eras of maritime bans, the amount of porcelain and silk exported by China did not decrease but increased."
"Tell me why this is. It's not that the great tribes in Jiangnan and the nobles joined forces to shout the benefits of sea bans in the court, while secretly smuggling their own families. Are you looking for huge profits from smuggling? You are so smart..."
Xiao Letian's eyes were red and swollen. "It's you, you have killed the Chinese nation's footsteps towards the deep blue. In your eyes, the great achievements of the Three Treasures eunuchs are enemies who seize the wealth, right?"
"Anyone who has read "The Journey to the West" I wrote knows that I once focused on the small country of the Netherlands. In 1602, the 30th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch East India Company was established. A small country with a population of 1.5 million actually hopes to start their era of navigation..."
"The population of 1.5 million, which is as big as a county in the Qing Dynasty, dare to compete with Britain and France for maritime interests. You are ridiculous, but the Dutch did it, and they became famous maritime coachmen..."
"It takes a huge start-up capital to start marine trade. The Dutch formed the world's first stock exchange and issued shares of the East India Company. They gathered almost all the wealth in the country to invest in marine trade."
"Countless merchant ships and warships have been launched. From the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia, there are Dutch people everywhere. In order to protect their maritime interests, they will fight at will, even if the enemy is powerful Britain and France..."
Xiao Letian took a few deep breaths, "I don't know how much wealth the East India Company has gathered, but I know that the company's wealth at its peak was more than a trillion dollars, but that's the same as a gold medal."
Suddenly a voice sounded in the crowd, and Mr. Nobel said in English, "I know that history. The Dutch's start-up capital is about six million US dollars. If calculated as the silver coins of your Qing Dynasty, it is about 2.4 million to 2.5 million tons..."
When Nobel's words were translated into Chinese, the people present were so excited that they were so excited, especially Hu Xueyan and Fan Jian. At that time, their eyes turned blue: "Can they earn trillions of dollars in the end? Ocean Trade is indeed a gold mountain, and it is an endless gold mine..."
However, Xiao Letian shook his head, "I'm sorry, the Dutch can do this, but we Chinese cannot do it. If the merchants gathered 2.5 million taels of silver to start the maritime trade during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, let alone whether the policy allows it or not. Just the bloody mouths of the bureaucrats will swallow the money alive and finally give you a big crime..."
"If you strengthen your money, you will still kill you... Hu Xueyan, I ask you, the startup capital for the submarine cable business is as high as five million, but the subsequent profit can reach tens of millions. Do you dare to do such a huge profit-making transaction?"
Hu Xueyan sweated like a slurry. "Don't dare, don't dare. Without the protection of the Prime Minister's new army, the money will be exposed and the money will cause disaster. Someone will swallow me alive... But with the Prime Minister's joint share, everything will be different. I firmly believe that if anyone dares to steal the Prime Minister's money, your muskets and cannons will definitely be pressed against their foreheads."
"Hahaha... You are right. I, Xiao Letian, have a shareholding business. I see that bureaucrat dares to have bad ideas. At that time, not only will I kill his whole family, but I will also use explosives to blow up their ancestral graves... Hu Xueyan, after you return to Jiangnan, you will just talk to the people in the officialdom and tell them that Xiao Letian will do what he says."
Now it is no longer a simple trial of the Lin family. Xiao Letian is going to war with the bureaucratic class that ruled China for thousands of years. Xiao Letian has nailed these sinners who have harmed the country and the people to the pillar of shame.
"Now, Lin Yuanmiao, do you understand? The reason for your corruption is not because of greed, but because of the bureaucratic thought in your heart. What you want is officials to always suppress businessmen, and what you want is eternal official position. To say something heartbroken, you don't want all people to be equal at all."
This was an extremely successful speech. In this regard, all the businessmen cried, and even foreigners felt a little uncomfortable. The new military officers and soldiers who had been brainwashed by Xiao Letian could find a vent.
"It turns out that China's weakness for hundreds of years is rooted in the bureaucrats. It starts war, starts war...it starts war with bureaucrats all over the world and kills all bureaucrats."
Xiao Letian raised his hand to suppress the fanaticism, "No, killing cannot solve the problem, especially the problems in people's minds. If you want to change everything that is unfair, you do not rely on killing people, but on ourselves..."
"With our actual actions, we are right, and let history prove the sins of these bureaucrats, what should we do."
All the new troops present stood attentively and yelled, "It is my responsibility to rise and fall of the country."
