Seeing that these thin monkeys dared to be rude to his lord, Wen Chou immediately stepped forward and yelled. Everyone suddenly felt as if a thunderbolt exploded above their heads, and they were stunned and dizzy, with stars in their eyes.
There is no distinction between north, south, east and west.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and many people remembered Zuo Aoran's identity. Seeing the huge and terrifying black-faced general standing in front of Zuo Aoran, many people couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in their hearts. They couldn't help but
Worried that Zuo Aoran would get angry and kill them.
The atmosphere seemed a bit tense. Yan Liang and Wen Chou clenched their fists loudly. They only waited for Zuo Aoran's order to give these skinny monkeys a good beating to let them know that their lord was not someone to be bullied.
However, things did not develop as most people imagined. Zuo Aoran stepped forward and held down Wen Chou, who was about to try, and signaled Yan Liang not to mess around. After all, this was also his teacher's home, so he couldn't be too presumptuous.
Zuo Aoran glanced at the crowd and sneered: "You are quite benevolent and righteous! I don't understand. Why do you only care so much about these rebellious family members, but turn a blind eye to the victimized compatriots and people?
Is it natural for the victims in various states to be massacred by thieves and bandits!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then Wei Zhongdao retorted: "Of course we sympathize with the people everywhere who are being persecuted by bandits! Bandits often cause chaos just to seek money. We only need to give them some money and goods to eliminate this matter. And we can still
Send virtuous people to influence them. Why use weapons rashly and kill so many people!" After hearing this, everyone immediately agreed. Cai Wenji also showed a look of appreciation.
Zuo Aoran suddenly applauded the impassioned Wei Zhongdao and praised: "Okay, well said, very good! I just don't understand a little bit. I want to ask Wei Dacai, who will get this wealth to please the thieves and bandits?"
out?"
Wei Zhongdao was stunned for a moment, and then replied matter-of-factly: "Of course this will be paid out of the national treasury."
Zuo Aoran smiled and said, "Then where does the money in the treasury come from?"
Wei Zhongdao frowned. He still didn't understand why the other party asked these questions, but he still answered truthfully: "Of course the money income in the national treasury comes from taxes paid by the people all over the world."
Zuo Aoran's face suddenly changed, and he angrily said: "Since the people have worked tirelessly to pay taxes to the country, why doesn't the country protect the people? If such things are done as you said, then the people who pay taxes to the country will still have to pay taxes.
What’s the use! It’s better to keep the money and give it directly to the robbers when they arrive. Wouldn’t it be easier?”
Wei Zhongdao was stopped by the question, "This..."
At this moment, the Confucian scholar in blue took over from Wei Zhongdao and replied: "As a Han commoner, it is natural to pay taxes to the imperial court. Failure to pay taxes is rebellion. General Zuo, as an important official of the imperial court, why did you say such inappropriate words?
?”
Zuo Aoran smiled and said: "Let's not talk about paying taxes for now. I just want to ask you, once thieves come, you give them property. When has this kind of thing ever happened? Thieves and bandits are all wolves.
They get what they want so easily, and their appetite will grow bigger and bigger. No matter how big the national treasury is, it cannot withstand such frequent consumption. In the end, our national power is exhausted, but the thieves and bandits effortlessly rely on absorption.
When our blood becomes stronger, how can we resist when the strength and weakness are different, and our momentum and national strength are at odds? When things develop to that point, what the thieves want is not just a little bit of your property, they want
It will be the empire of the entire Han Dynasty! In this case, the thieves will not show any kindness to you!"
Zuo Aoran's words shocked everyone, and everyone looked a little ugly. They had not thought about these issues carefully at all, or they had never believed that the matter would develop to such a serious level.
Usually, what these people have in their minds are romantic and taken-for-granted thoughts of benevolence and righteousness. No matter what issue they consider, they basically take it for granted and are self-righteous. They always put themselves in a high position to consider issues, and rarely combine them with others.
Analyze the actual situation.
It is under the influence of this kind of thinking that so many ridiculous arguments have appeared in the history of our country, and because of the important position of these literati in social and political life for various reasons, national policies are influenced by these people.
A lot of ridiculous things happened.
Among the crowd, there were two people with very bright eyes. They were Chen Deng and another talented man from a poor family. They were very excited, and their eyes were like those who had traveled a long distance in the desert and suddenly saw an oasis.
"General Zuo's words are a bit alarmist!" Wei Zhongdao, who couldn't find a reason to refute, said after a moment of silence.
Zuo Aoran looked at these so-called "talented men" with disdain. Besides being able to recite poems and write poems about romance, what else could these so-called "talented men" do? In fact, the role of these people is not even comparable to that of a farmer.
Their function is nothing more than that of an actor, providing entertainment for the public!
"Why are you alarmist? Isn't it enough for thieves and aliens to do this? Don't you, the great talents, understand the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace? If you don't even understand such a simple truth, what kind of bullshit talents are you!
Zuo Aoran said solemnly with a cold face.
"General Zuo, please don't hurt anyone with your words!" Cai Wenji frowned and said.
At this time, Zuo Aoran was so excited that he didn't even give the beauty face!
"I still want to hit people when I use my words to hurt people!" Zuo Aoran glanced at Cai Wenji coldly and said sternly. At this time, Zuo Aoran no longer had any illusions about Cai Wenji. Such a pedantic, ridiculous and proud person
Woman, Zuo Aoran didn't bother to bother.
Cai Wenji had never been treated like this before, and she immediately felt aggrieved. Her nose was sore, and tears were rolling in her eyes, and they were about to fall. Everyone was attracted by Zuo Aoran's momentum, and they all fell silent.
Some were thinking about what Zuo Aoran said, and some were imagining what would happen to Zuo Aoran.
Although he could not find any reason to refute Zuo Aoran, Wei Zhongdao did not give up there.
"General Zuo, maybe what you said makes sense. But no matter what, you should not kill ordinary people!" When he said this, Wei Zhongdao's face was full of justice.
Zuo Aoran snorted coldly and said: "I, Zuo Aoran, only do things that are beneficial to my country, China. Under such circumstances, I will use any means at all. As long as it is beneficial to my country, I will use similar methods again!
"
"Aren't you afraid of being infamy for the ages?!" Cai Wenji couldn't help but ask.
Zuo Aoran burst out laughing when he heard this, and thought to himself: "They say Cai Wenji is the most talented woman in the world, but I didn't expect that she is such a pedantic woman. Ancient history has bullied me too much!" Weiwei snorted coldly: "Infamy?! Even if it's not the best thing in the world,
So what about the finger! I just want to have a clear conscience and that's enough!" Everyone had nothing to say anymore. At this time, Zuo Aoran's courage made many people secretly feel sad.
The scene was very quiet, which can also be called silence, but the atmosphere was very awkward, to the point of embarrassment. At this time, Cai Yong came up and said: "Okay, let's end this topic! Today we are talking about
At the poetry meeting, please don’t talk about national affairs." Cai Yong tried to smooth things over.
