Li Zhi looked at Zhu Youzhen quietly.

The room fell silent.

Zhu Youzhen swallowed his saliva, and a cold sweat flowed down the left forehead of the abolished emperor, reflecting the torment in the heart of the Ming emperor. His face suddenly turned red, then white again, as if two colors were fighting.

Li Laosi stayed outside the house and did not let Wang Chengen enter the house to interrupt the conversation between the two. But Wang Chengen knelt outside the threshold, pricked up his ears, and had already heard all of Li Zhi's words. The eunuch's face was blood-red, and his eyes were staring at Li Zhi, as if Li Zhi was doing something to attack Zhu Youzhen.

Wang Chengen suddenly roared loudly: "Li Zhi! No matter what you say, I, Wang Chengen, will not recognize that your dynasty is orthodox!"

Wang Chengen suddenly seemed to be unprepared to die, this eunuch didn't know whether he felt that Li Zhi was benevolent and would not kill him, or whether he felt that he was so depressed that he was a disabled person who had no fertility, and there was no need to live, so he shouted loudly: "Li Zhi! Only the Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of China, and your Great Qi will always be a usurper! ”

Li Zhi turned around and looked at Wang Chengen lightly.

Wang Chengen was actually very afraid of Li Zhi, and when Li Zhi looked at him for a while, he was so frightened that his body kept trembling. But he was unwilling to bow his head to Li Zhi like this, and always held his head proudly, as if as long as he insisted like this for a few seconds, he would always be the eunuch of the Emperor Ming, and Li Zhi was a rebellious usurper.

Li Zhi was silent for a few seconds.

He said: "Wang Chengen, do you know how the people of the world are jubilant to welcome the new dynasty? In Shaanxi, in order to welcome the Tiger Ben army, the tenant farmers of the gentry welcomed the soldiers who went fifty miles to the official road to bow down to the Great Qi. In Huguang, the bottom layer who was oppressed by Haoqiang directly beat Haoqiang's lackeys, and then surrendered to the magistrate of Daqi. In Fujian, when it was heard that the Fujian people could sign up for overseas colonization, the poor people of Zhangzhou paid 100 yuan each to invite the best opera troupe to sing a big opera outside the newly established government of Daqi for three months. ”

When Wang Chengen heard this, his body trembled more and more.

Li Zhi continued: "I preach public morality and uphold the rule of law, so that the internal friction of society is minimized. In Changsha, the railway connecting Wuchang and Changsha is nearing completion. In Chengdu, an industrial base radiating Sichuan has begun to scale, and the output of cotton textiles can meet the needs of the entire southwest. In Hangzhou, a large heavy industrial base was being built, and the talented people of Jiangnan began to produce the steam and internal combustion engines needed by the colony under the guidance of Tianjin engineers. ”

Wang Chengen was already dumbfounded.

The founding of the Great Qi was only three years old, which is a very short time. However, this government, which regards efficiency as its life, has exerted more combat effectiveness than ordinary people can imagine, and has achieved countless achievements in three years. Some of these constructions were led by Li Zhi, and some were planned by Li Zhi before he left for Europe, and were carried out by Cui Changwu, Li Huan and others. But no matter how many details Li Zhi was involved in, these projects were successfully completed.

Li Zhi looked at Wang Chengen, who was struggling in his heart, and stopped talking.

Li Laosi opened his mouth and said: "The saint is talking about national projects, but in fact, the use of private capital raised by the stock exchange is even more terrifying. In Guangzhou, merchants from Tianjin flocked to establish an industrial base and began to produce large quantities of agricultural machinery, cheap furniture, and ship shells. In Tokyo, a fertilizer production center dominated by a Fanjiazhuang listed company has formed a cluster, and a large number of chemical talents have gathered in Japan. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, but when he heard this, his right hand couldn't help but tremble.

Li Laosi continued: "In Southeast Asia, the Han people who immigrated to Nanyang have become richer than the original gentry, and every family cultivates dozens of acres of paddy fields, and it is no joke to eat meat every day. In India, the original fourth-class caste in India became the fifth-class caste, and the Chinese became the most noble class in the local area, engaged in high-level work such as government management, legal supervision, and engineering guidance, while the other four castes in India could only be Chinese doormen or servants. ”

Wang Chengen opened his mouth in surprise, as if he had been robbed of confidence by what Li Laosi said.

"In North America, our new immigrants have established countless farms, and each New World farmer has hundreds or thousands of acres of wheat fields in his own hands, and has hired Indians to work them. In South America, the brown-skinned indigenous South Americans worship Han Chinese as gods, and regard every Han Chinese immigrant who arrives as their master, willing to sacrifice everything. ”

"The cause of Great Qi is not comparable to the Ming Dynasty, which only has infighting. Under the leadership of the saints, the Han people will become the masters of the whole world, spreading the blood of the Han people to every corner of the earth. “

Hearing this, Wang Chengen couldn't refute a word.

The eyes of the former eunuch Bingbi became more and more confused, and finally showed despair. Because of Li Zhi and Li Laosi's words, he saw what true leadership is. Originally, the last trace of persistence in his eyes seemed to be extinguished because of the words of Li Zhi and Li Laosi.

The Ming Dynasty that was ravaged by the Manchus and thieves, controlled by officials and gentry, the Wenchen who cheated on power, even the imperial examinations were faked, the military attache was greedy and cowardly, and fled when he saw the enemy, the Son of Heaven could not leave the Forbidden City, and the people were struggling on the food and clothing line, how could he compare with Li Zhi's Daqi?

There is no comparison at all.

"Kouhu... Mouth beard! No... Not so! “

However, after Wang Chengen said this, he couldn't even convince himself.

He suddenly felt that Li Zhi had shattered the last bit of pride in his heart, and it seemed like a mistake for him to abolish his male roots and be loyal to Da Ming for decades. He was suddenly at a loss, he looked up at Zhu Youzhen, but he couldn't find a little dependence on Zhu Youzhen's pale face.

Two tears suddenly flowed down Wang Chengen's face, flowing faster and faster.

Then he let out a loud howl, and lay on the threshold and began to cry.

Li Zhi quietly watched Wang Chengen cry and did not speak.

Then he turned his head to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen's face was snow-white.

If it is said that when Li Zhi founded the country, Zhu Youzhen was discouraged, and now Zhu Youzhen is a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

If there is anything more terrible than losing the country, it is that after losing the country, you have to understand day by day that you deserve to lose.

Zhu Youzhen's lips trembled, and he said slowly: "Saint... St. ..."

Zhu Youzhen didn't finish a sentence, but Wang Chengen raised his head suddenly, and shouted with tears streaming down his face: "Master! You can't call him holy! He is a traitor in Tianjin! He is a traitor who usurped my Ming Dynasty! “

"Sir! You can't recognize Him as a saint! Master! We would rather starve to death than surrender to the traitors! “

When Zhu Youzhen heard Wang Chengen's words, he suddenly burst into tears, and he was speechless for a while.
