These four simple words have already forced Wei Ping into a corner. If you have the ability, you can leave. Otherwise, no matter whether you are a dragon or a tiger, you will have to stay here.
Wei Ping really wanted to leave Li Qi's handsome back, but would he dare? Isn't he afraid that tomorrow, the man who looked like the god of death would walk in with his head, but he was not as shameless as Ma Xuanzi
, and can admit defeat openly.
Now he really regrets provoking this "reckless man" and driving people away at every turn. How can he continue to play like this?
Niu Gao saw the embarrassment on Wei Ping's face and smiled disdainfully in his heart. The Privy Councilor even dared to chase away Wanyan Zonghan, let alone a small role like you.
Ning Wu saw that Wei Ping was about to lose his support. He suddenly stood up and said to smooth things over: "Privy Councilor, Brother Wei, if you have something to say, please speak it up. Why get angry? I think the Privy Councilor must have a reason for what he said.
.”
Li Qi glanced at Wei Ping coldly.
Ning Wu also nodded slightly to Wei Ping and motioned for him to sit down first.
It’s better to lose face than to lose your life!
Wei Ping took a deep breath and sat down.
This is the deterrent power of Luo Hu's head. Why Li Qi refused to see them in front of him is because they are not afraid of him. There is not enough deterrent power for them. There is nothing to talk about. It can be said that without Luo Hu,
If his head is there, then Wei Ping will definitely turn around and leave at this time. No matter how tough Li Qi's tone is, if he doesn't show his strength in advance, he will undoubtedly be asking for trouble. This is why Li Qi insists on spending so much effort.
, take Baihu Village first and then negotiate with these chieftains.
"One million yuan is a lot, but to acquire Fuyi and Qin is really a dream."
After sitting down, Wei Ping felt that he had lost face again, so he wanted to regain some face.
"Then you give me one million. If I can't do it, I will give you the head." Li Qi said immediately.
This guy is really a Tiansha guy. He refuses to give me even such a small amount of face. Wei Ping almost greeted the eighteenth generation of Li Qi's ancestors in his heart. He couldn't do it silently, not to mention that he would get it even if he sold himself.
If he couldn't afford this million yuan, even if he could afford it, he wouldn't dare to gamble.
Li Qi then said to the others: "If any of you want to bet, you can. I will accompany you to the end, and I can even sign a life and death certificate."
No one dared to answer.
Firstly, they don’t have the money, and secondly, they don’t have the ability.
But this is not fatal, what is fatal is that Li Qi has both.
Li Qi glanced at it and sneered secretly, these stupid guys, if you don't show any color to you, you really don't know why this flower is so red. I am not Zhuge Sage, my temper is better than that of a saint. Why do you want to capture Meng seven times?
Yes, only those who have no strength do that. If I have that spare time, I would have gone home to take care of my children. How could I be here with you roughnecks?
The reason why he dares to be so tough is based on hard power and is by no means hot-headed.
If it had been a few years ago, Li Qitie would have been persuading these local emperors in a good voice and deceiving them with sweet words. How could he be so tough?
Because the Song court's previous policy was to humiliate the outside world and be tough internally, it really didn't want to spend too much energy dealing with these southern barbarians, because it was a thankless task, and the real enemy was the original Liao Kingdom, which was
Xixia.
But things are different now. After Zhao Kai came to the throne, what he hated most was humiliation. No matter who it was, the Song Dynasty's foreign policy also became tougher. After the Kaifeng defense war, its military strength reached its peak. After fighting with the Jin Kingdom
After signing the Yunsang Alliance and planning the independence of Xixia, the north was temporarily stabilized.
Now that the court's focus is completely on the south, Li Qi has enough support to let him say this to Wei Ping.
This time is really not a joke. Li Qi is not so leisurely and elegant. You must know that the Song Dynasty is now competing with the Jin Kingdom to see who can stabilize the rear first. So if you are really unconvinced, then the court will definitely do whatever it takes.
The price is to destroy you, there is no room for relaxation.
After waiting for a while, Li Qi saw that no one dared to take the challenge, so he continued: "I am not sarcastic about your incompetence. That's not the case. Let's talk about Chief Wei. If I were him, I wouldn't dare to bet. Why?
Because his power is limited, even if you give him 10 million yuan, what can he do? Let’s not talk about it, will everyone here listen to him? How can he command the heroes, but then again
, if we don’t work together, what can we do with more money?”
Wei Ping was inexplicably moved when he heard this, but after he was moved, he realized that Li Qi seemed to be scolding him. What is so virtuous and so capable?
Li Qi added: "This illustrates the point very well. The reason why Guangxi is so poor is not the lack of money or the lack of people, but the problem of the system. You all work on your own and have a calculation in your mind. Even if the court gives you
If you only have one way to make money, you won’t be able to make a fortune. If you want to get out of this predicament, the first thing to do is to abandon the current system.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone else turned and looked at Li Qi with hostility.
Abandoning the current system means, by implication, abolishing the chieftains like them!
Ning Wu said slowly: "I wonder what the Privy Envoy means by this?"
He is a big toast, no matter what he thinks in his heart at this time, he has to stand up and set an example.
"In the whole world, is it the king's land? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers." Li Qi spread his hands and continued: "We are all smart people, and I don't intend to hide it from you. Today's world has changed, except for the emperor.
No one can establish himself as king in the Song Dynasty, including everyone sitting here, you can either choose to surrender, or go home, reorganize your troops, and prepare for war."
Li Qi's tone was very calm, but each word seemed to strike the frightened hearts of these chieftains.
Li Qi's meaning couldn't be clearer. The imperial court will completely take over this place.
Ning Wu frowned and said, "So, the imperial court can't tolerate us?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "No, no, it's not that the court can't tolerate you, it's that it can't tolerate this deformed system."
Ma Xuanzi said: "Isn't this the same thing?"
"of course not."
Li Qi showed a smile and said: "First of all, I want to make it clear that the imperial court respects the customs and beliefs of the local people, including the existence of chiefs and clan leaders. These are your customs and no one can erase them. But there is a saying that goes well
, there is no circle without rules, everything must be based on the law, this is the bottom line, how can there be two sets of orders in a country.
Of course, the mistakes are made by both sides. The court and everyone have made many mistakes, which led to today's situation. Since you know your mistakes, you should correct them. If you don't correct your mistakes, you are not wise. From now on, there will only be one person here.
To set order, that is the law of the Song Dynasty. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone you and others. I have only one purpose here, and that is to lead the people of Guangxi out of poverty and become rich."
Ning Wu's eyes flashed and he said, "Really? Then may I ask, Privy Councilor, what do you plan to do?"
"The way of the world is divided into good and evil. Right does not mean right, and evil does not mean wrong. It just walks on a different road." Li Qi raised two fingers and said: "I have two sets of plans in my mind, one is right and the other is wrong.
Xie, I wonder which one you want to hear first?"
Ning Wudao: "Just listen to the truth first."
Li Qi nodded and said: "The correct plan is to proceed step by step, with Hangzhou as the center, and slowly develop here. I believe that sooner or later, the new law will be popularized here, and by then there will be bread.
, there will be milk too.”
Ma Xuanzi hummed: "How long and what month will it take for this to happen? Who knows whether it is a lie or not."
Just say a few words less. If you say it later, you will have to embarrass yourself even more. Why bother? Ning Wu quickly said: "What about Xie?"
Li Qidao: "Just use money to make this place rich."
The man with a big mouth grinned and said, "I like this method."
Who doesn't like it? Ning Wu smiled and said: "I guess it's not that simple."
Li Qi thought for a while and said: "This matter may be easy or difficult, it depends on how you understand it."
"Then where does this money come from?"
"Jiaozhi."
Li Qi said these two words very calmly.
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this, and they were all dumbfounded. Could it be that the real purpose of his trip was Jiaozhi?
Li Qi ignored their shock and continued: "I said before that the imperial court also made many mistakes here. The most important point is that it failed to protect the people here. This is unforgivable. The imperial court now has the courage to do so.
Admit your mistakes and hope to be forgiven. When the Jiaozhi army massacred our people of the Song Dynasty in Yizhou and Qinzhou, although we also gave a strong counterattack at that time, it was far from enough. This can be seen from the fact that Jiaozhi still causes chaos on the border every year.
When we came out, the people here were humiliated by Jiaozhi, so this time the imperial court wants to restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and completely regain Jiaozhi. It will not give up until it achieves its goal."
When he said it later, his tone was passionate, sonorous and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.
Completely recapture Cochin?
This is really a thunder on the ground!
For these chiefs, it came so suddenly and without any warning, because there was no wind in front of them, and their minds couldn't turn around for a while.
This is not to attack one of their local armed forces, but to destroy a country. This matter is really not a trivial matter, but when it comes out of Li Qi's mouth, it makes people think it is a trivial matter, so just follow the mountain to fight
Like a rabbit, he was embarrassed to show his surprised expression.
But at the same time, many people were slightly relieved. Now it seems that Li Qi's goal is actually Jiaozhi, not them. Moreover, if the imperial court really decides to regain Jiaozhi, then it should also ask for help from them. After saying this for a long time,
It was as if they were begging the imperial court. I have to say that Li Qi's mouth was really an enemy of thousands of soldiers.
Ning Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But what does this have to do with the wealth and poverty of our people in Guangxi?"
"This has a lot to do with it!" Li Qi said in a seductive tone: "The imperial court has three purposes for sending troops to Jiaozhi. First, this Jiaozhi belongs to the Song Dynasty and should be recovered. Secondly, it is to retaliate.
We can regard this war as a revenge war for the revenge of the past. In the end, it is for the millions of people in Guangxi!
Cochin cannot be considered a rich country, we all know this, but you have to understand one thing, Cochin is poor, and the poor are the common people, who were still very rich at that time, I won’t go into details, just take half of the money from Cochin’s national treasury
, enough to develop the entire South Guangxi Road. I can assure you that once Jiaozhi is captured, the money obtained from their treasury will be divided into three parts. The court will only take 20%, and 50% will be used for Guangxi's economic construction. In addition,
Thirty percent of the total is used as military subsidies.”
When these chieftains heard this, their eyes lit up, like hungry wild wolves, and their blood was already boiling.
This is a good illustration of the truth that you should never underestimate the temptation of money.
Wei Ping said coldly: "What if it's not defeated?"
Li Qi said simply: "This is impossible. Now that I'm here, I must get what I want. If I want to drink tea with you, I have a chance. I don't need to mobilize troops. I can do it now
I can tell you clearly that the imperial army is ready at the Jiaozhi border and can be dispatched at any time as long as I give the order."
