665 Speeches
Lin Zhen's guilt attracted the attention of countless people, and gradually the square at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with all kinds of people, including ordinary people, businessmen from the rich side, as well as civil officials from the Ryukyus and generals of the New Army.
In the end, even King Shang Tai came to the crowd in civilian clothes, and a group of foreigners whispered around King Shang Tai. After a while, Lin Zhen's classmates, as well as his comrades-in-arms in the new army, also came, and they didn't dare to persuade them.
In the buzzing and noisy discussion, the family members of the Lin family ran over with the bed, and Lin Yuanmiao, who was lying on it with a white cloth wrapped around his head, was sweating profusely and kowtowing on the bed.
"The criminal minister Lin Yuanmiao has failed the love of the prime minister, and he is guilty of capital crimes...... I only beg the prime minister to sin against me, and don't get involved with my children, and beg the prime minister...... Woo woo!" he burst into tears.
When the prime minister is angry, he will die, this truth is understood even by children in the Ryukyus, and now the prime minister's anger has been burning for six days, and the Ryukyu civil officials and military generals have been investigated to the bottom, and Lin Yuanmiao has not been forgiven in the prime minister's mansion.
This is the sign of a great prison, does it mean that the 700,000 embezzled silver will be raided and destroyed?
Xiao Letian's Prime Minister's Mansion was actually renovated by the earliest military camp in Liyuan, the original exquisite Japanese-style courtyard was retained, the military camp at the back was divided, and the square at the main entrance was widened, which was enough to gather thousands of people.
Just when the father and son of the Lin family kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the people around them were talking, there was a sound of standing and saluting inside the gate, and people knew that the prime minister had come out.
The scene suddenly fell silent, everyone stood up straight to show respect, and when Xiao Letian, who was wearing a military uniform, walked out of the door, all the soldiers present stood up and saluted, all the foreigners took off their hats and bowed, and the rest bowed.
Xiao Lotian raised his hand and returned a military salute, and then looked at the Lin family father and son calmly.
"Do you know why I haven't seen you these days?"
"I know, the prime minister is angry, and my father and son are guilty...... We are willing to scatter all our possessions to atone for our sins!"
"Wrong, although I am angry, I have not lost my mind, since you have returned the stolen goods, there is no reason to die, there is no such law in Ryukyu...... I don't see you getting up because you haven't figured it out, but now you've figured it out!"
"Why are you embezzling? Why are you embezzling when you have enough money to live a rich life? What is the deep-seated reason? What kind of values are supporting your behavior?"
As soon as they heard this series of rhetorical questions, the Jae-chun and Sang-tae kings hidden in the crowd all came to their senses, including the civil and military officials, and they all pricked up their ears, they knew that what the prime minister was going to say later was probably the outline of future governance.
"Everything has a source, and the flood is rolling in, and blind dredging without finding a water source is always half the effort. The same is true of people's hearts, and I just want to ask you, what did you think when you were corrupt?"
Lin Yuanmiao burst into tears, "The criminal is ashamed of his greed, and the silver of the white flowers messes my heart...... I'm sorry for the prime minister!"
"Is greed really the word greed that explains everything? I ask you, why don't you get money from the carpenters, stonemasons, and bricklayers on the construction site? Why don't you be greedy when you are greedy for money from the fishermen by the sea and the farmers in the fields?"
Lin Zhen stopped doing it now, he straightened his waist and said, "Prime Minister, you can't insult us, my Lin family is greedy, but I won't take food from the people, craftsmen and farmers are busy with the money they earn for a year to support their families, and our Lin family is not so dark-hearted......"
"I see, if you don't have a lot of money, you won't be greedy, but if you have more money, you can be greedy?
One sentence made the Lin family speechless, and the people around him also talked about it. Xiao Lotian stopped asking questions, and he began to answer his own questions himself.
"It took me six days to sort out the context of this problem, but in fact, the root is still in our culture. We all know that Ryukyu is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and the concept that everything is inferior, but the concept of high education, and the first place for farmers and businessmen has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people......"
"It's not so much that you say it's greed, I think it's more the evil result of the official-oriented thinking, you are still a bureaucrat in essence, in your heart the official is the highest, and the businessman is lowly, you will naturally be unwilling to see the businessman make money, and the demon in your subconscious will desperately encourage you......"
"Look, a lowly businessman can make millions in a single transaction, and their wealth actually exceeds that of their own first......-class master?
Xiao Letian looked at all the onlookers present and shouted, "Ask your hearts, torture your conscience, do you yourself think so?"
"In your subconscious, officials should be noble, and businessmen should be lowly...... Therefore, in all dynasties and dynasties, you have to suppress the merchants, and as long as their wealth is revealed more than yours, you will have to commit black hands, and you will rob a part of it to make up for your loss and ......unwillingness."
"Haha...... Why has China not been able to industrialize until now? Why has the germ of capitalism not been able to germinate? In the final analysis, it is the bureaucracy's suppression of businessmen ......"
Li Mi's argument shocked everyone present, including Hu Xueyan and other businessmen who did not leave, and their eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"Why do Chinese businessmen buy land when they make money, hide it in the cellar when they make money, and buy official positions when they make money?
"Jiangnan is rich, as early as the Ming Dynasty, there was a spectacular scene of 100,000 looms, and the Jiangnan at that time could exceed the British by ten times and a hundred times the size of the market, but why is it not as good as our Britain invented the Jenny textile machine? Why is the industrialization enlightened by others?"
"Is it because we Chinese have no money? Is it because our Chinese are not smart enough? Wrong, it is because our Chinese are too smart, so they have long seen through what is in the stomach of your bureaucrats, so they dare not carry out industrial upgrading......
"A medium-sized primitive brocade factory, with 100,000 taels of silver, can be set up, but just these 100,000 taels of silver have to be exploited by the bureaucrats layer by layer, whoever invests more in the eyes of the bureaucrats is a fat sheep, a fat pig, ......."
"If a new type of silk reeling factory, spinning mill, and brocade mill were built in the south of the Yangtze River, and millions of silver taels were invested, how could such large-scale production not be profitable?
"But no one dares, the industrial upgrading that can be carried out in the Ming Dynasty will be stifled by you bureaucrats, if there is really a silver mountain of tens of millions of taels of silver in the south of the Yangtze River, you bureaucrats will be able to control it? What kind of joke ......?"
The more Xiao Letian spoke, the more excited he became, and finally even roared, "There is also the sea ban of the Ming and Qing dynasties, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know the cat in it, the Manchu bureaucrats are shouting for the sea ban, and they can't do business, but Western archaeology has long verified that in those years of the sea ban, the amount of porcelain and silk exported by China did not fall but rose!"
"Tell me why this is? It's not that those big clans in Jiangnan and the nobles joined forces, shouting the benefits of the sea ban in the court, and secretly smuggling their own families on the other hand, don't you want the huge profits of smuggling? You are really smart enough......
Xiao Letian's eyes were red and swollen, "It's you, who strangled the Chinese nation's march towards the deep blue, and the great achievements of the Three Treasure Eunuchs are the enemies of the road to wealth in your eyes, right?"
"Anyone who has read my book "Journey to the West" knows that I once focused on the small country of the Netherlands, in 1602, that is, in the thirtieth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch East India Company was founded, and a small country with a population of 1.5 million actually hoped to start their Age of Discovery......"
"A population of 1.5 million, that is, the size of a county in the Qing Dynasty, dares to compete with Britain and France for maritime interests, is it ridiculous to say? But the Dutch did it, and they became the famous sea coachmen......
"It takes a lot of start-up capital to start the maritime trade, and the Dutch formed the world's first stock exchange, issued shares in the East India Company, and they pooled almost all the wealth of the country to invest in the maritime trade!"
"Countless merchant ships and warships were launched, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia, everywhere was the Dutch, and in order to protect their maritime interests, they did not hesitate to fight, even if the enemy was the mighty British and French......"
Xiao Lotian 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 in its heyday was trillions of dollars, and it was like a mountain of gold!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the crowd, and Mr. Nobel said in English, "I know that in that history, the start-up capital of the Dutch was about six million dollars, and if it is calculated as the silver taels of your Qing Kingdom, it will be between 2.4 million and 2.5 million taels......"
When Nobel's words were translated into Chinese, the people present were all in a hurry, especially Hu Xueyan and Fan Yao, whose eyes were blue at that time: "Can a start-up capital of 2.5 million taels actually make trillions of dollars in the end......?"
However, Xiao Letian shook his head, "It's a pity that the Dutch can do this, but we can't do it Chinese, if in the Ming Wanli period, the merchants collected 2.5 million taels of silver to start the maritime trade, let's not talk about the policy allowed, just the blood of those bureaucrats, they will swallow the money alive, and finally give you a big crime......"
"If you strengthen your money, it will kill you...... Hu Xueyan, let me ask you, the submarine cable business, the start-up capital is as high as 5 million, but the benefits behind it can reach tens of millions, do you dare to do such a profiteering business?"
Hu Xueyan sweated like pulp, "Don't dare, don't dare, without the protection of the prime minister's new army, this money will attract disaster if it is exposed, and someone will swallow me alive...... But with the Prime Minister's joint shares, everything is different, and I firmly believe that if anyone dares to rob the Prime Minister's money, your musket cannon will definitely be on their heads!"
"Hahaha...... You're right, I think that bureaucrat dares to think crookedly about the sale of my Xiao Letian's shares? When the time comes, Lao Tzu will not only kill his entire family, but I will also use explosives to blow up their family's ancestral grave...... Hu Xueyan, after you return to Jiangnan, just go directly to the people in the officialdom and tell them that I Xiao Letian will do what he says!"
This is no longer a simple public trial of the Lin family, Xiao Letian is going to war with the bureaucracy that has ruled China for thousands of years! Xiao Lotian has already nailed this group of sinners who have brought calamity to 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 ideology in your heart, what you want is that officials will always suppress businessmen, and what you want is to always be an official.
This was an extremely successful speech, and for this sake, all the businessmen cried, even the foreigners felt a little uncomfortable, and the new officers and soldiers who had been brainwashed by Xiao Letian could be regarded as having found an outlet.
"It turns out that China's hundreds of years of weakness are rooted in the bureaucracy...... Go to war against the bureaucrats of the whole world and kill all the bureaucrats!"
Xiao Letian raised his hand to suppress the fanaticism, "No, killing can't solve the problem, especially the problem in people's minds, if you want to change everything that is unfair, you don't rely on killing people and beating people, but on our own ......"
"What should we do to prove that we are right with our practical actions and let history prove the sins of this group of bureaucrats?"
All the new troops present stood up and saluted and shouted, "The rise and fall of the country is my responsibility!"
