The foreign envoy was the first to stand on the lottery table, and the person who drew the lot was the envoy from Beili Country. He reached inside and took out a note. Lin Zhongchun followed closely and took away the second note.
After confirming that both parties have received it, both parties open it at the same time, and then display the content on the note to the other party.
"The selection of defense questions is over."
Lin Zhongchun won the lottery - build roads first to appease the people.
Envoys from other countries said that they should pay compensation first for road construction.
If we want to rank the two angles in order, there is still a point of debate.
Compared with the debate topic selected by Lin Zhongchun, the perspective of envoys from other countries is better for debate. If you want to be convinced by what the other party says, you still need a lot of arguments to support it.
The envoy from another country was very satisfied with the angle he held. The four other people on the other side were all little kids of a little bigger than one. How could they get away with it in a debate?
With their current age and experience, if they want to win, they have to be very clever!
Lin Zhongchun didn't think so. Although the selected defense question was difficult, if the question was answered well, it would not only be a defense question, but it could also be used to publicize the measures of the Jing Dynasty and gain a wave of favor from the people.
Sun Zhaozhou also thought so, "Zhongchun, can you let us debate with them later? When we really can't answer, you can take action."
What he meant by this was that Lin Zhongchun appeared as a "trump card" as his backing.
To a large extent, Sun Zhaozhou recognized Lin Zhongchun's ability.
Lin Zhongchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said: "When you say this, you make me look like an experienced old man."
"Isn't that Lao Pixiu?" Gu Chen pursed his lips, not commenting on what she said.
Fu Jun smiled. He envied the harmonious relationship between Lin Zhongchun and the three of them.
Even though he is used to being alone, there are still times when he longs for someone to accompany him so that he can spend those lonely days playing around.
"The time limit is two pillars of incense. After one pillar of incense is burned, there will be an intermission. The last debater wins."
After the eunuch Xiao Xuzi announced the rules, Lin Zhongchun, as the host, spoke first.
Sun Zhaozhou said in his prepared draft: "Water can carry a boat or overturn it. The people are the foundation of the country. If we want to build a homeland, we must appease the people. Money is irreplaceable, but the will of the people is ours.
If you wish, you must persuade them well and convince everyone.”
Sun Zhaozhou's remarks as an opening statement, although they sounded too thin, did a good job of digging a big hole for the opponent.
As long as the latter is handled properly, the other party will quietly fall into the pit and be unable to climb out.
"We do not agree with your remarks. Although the saying that water can carry a boat or overturn it is a truth that has been used since ancient times, now as long as the compensation is appropriate, the people will agree to repair the boat.
Road, as for their inner wishes, money is the basis of survival for them, and wishes can be abandoned after the compensation is appropriate."
Lin Zhongchun's ears twitched. Isn't this just a sophistry? The people are not important, so what else does the country need the people for?
You can't have a country without people. His remarks are really extreme.
Fu Jun immediately retorted: "Money is a means of transaction in life. In the process of building roads, many aspects will be involved. Money and external objects are not useful all the time. If you want to achieve the purpose of building roads,
I think it’s better to appease the people first and then do the follow-up work.”
