Zhao Jingyan and Zhang Boyu couldn't help but applaud when they heard Li Qi's words. This article was first published by..
This sentence is really brilliant and perfectly connected.
They were still wondering at the beginning that Li Qi's tone was so strong, how could he come back later. They never thought that Li Qi had already realized that there was a fatal flaw in his words. Apparently he also guessed that these landlords were being forced to
When you are in a desperate situation, you will definitely use this loophole to refute.
This is why Li Qi was so tough at the beginning, because he had to force these landlords into a desperate situation and let them fight against the odds.
As long as those landowners used this as a reason, they would be playing into Li Qi's hands.
This time, Zhang Boyu, Yang Ying'er and others were completely convinced by Li Qi, and their grasp of human nature was extremely accurate.
As for Zhao Jingyan, it is more of admiration.
The expressions on the faces of the landowners can definitely be regarded as a comedy that can surpass Zhou Xingxing's movie. It makes people want to laugh inexplicably when watching it, and they want to laugh loudly.
It's so funny.
There was silence in the main hall.
It's so quiet that it makes people feel scared and want to laugh.
The landowners stared at Li Qi blankly with their eyes open and their mouths slightly open. It was hard to imagine that a group of old men could be so cute.
Li Qi didn't say anything, just looked at them.
After a while, some people secretly lowered their heads, and after a while, everyone lowered their heads.
what to do?
The landlords racked their brains and thought hard. Although they were all ruthless and lustful, they could not come up with a solution because they came up with this theory themselves, and they said it so sonorously and forcefully that they found countless
reasons to support this argument.
It was good now. Li Qi used his strength to knock them all out with one move.
After a while, Li Qi laughed and said: "Actually, I am a very democratic person. Everyone who knows me knows that I have a good habit of brainstorming and even voting on many issues by a show of hands. Do you think I should
How to deal with you, I will definitely obey the minority and the majority."
Zhao Jingyan wanted to laugh when she heard this. She couldn't help but think to herself, this person is really evil and cute. How can you be a democracy? You are trying to catch a turtle in a urn!
For these landowners, no matter what choice they make, it is wrong. If they insist that Li Qi cannot use the crimes of the previous dynasty to convict them, then naturally the land deeds of the previous dynasty in their hands cannot be counted as the land of the Song Dynasty!
If they thought Li Qi could convict them, the land deed would be retained, but their lives might be lost, and they would have to live in prison for at least seven or eight years.
At their age, if they squat for another seven or eight years, they will not be a good man, but a dead dog.
Money or life!
This is the most difficult question to decide whether in later generations or in contemporary times.
In order to get this answer, it was strange that Kuro had set such weird rules. If he were here, he would be very happy to see this scene.
No one said anything.
The palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh, and they really didn't know how to answer.
Li Qi waited for a while and then smiled and said: "Since you are silent, it is up to me to decide. But let me explain in advance. Don't say that I am bullying the small. I have given you a chance.
"
At this point, he paused and saw that no one spoke. He thought to himself, these guys really don't shed tears until they see the coffin, and said: "Zhang Boyu, Liu Qingtan."
"The official is here."
"Act in accordance with the law."
Li Qi spat out these four words coldly.
"As commanded."
Zhang and Liu said in unison.
"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me!"
When the landowners heard about the legal measures, they were frightened and cried loudly.
Li Qi frowned and said: "I said you people are really mean. I let you choose, but you didn't say anything. Now that I have decided, you want to obstruct me from doing things in accordance with the law. What do you want?"
"us---."
"I---."
...
Those landowners, you look at me and I look at him, your heart is bleeding!
"Come on, I don't have time to waste time with you anymore." Li Qi waved his hand and said, "Let's just act in accordance with the law."
Wang Laohe suddenly fell to the ground and said passionately: "Sir, the common people think that using the crimes of the previous dynasty to sentence the people of the Song Dynasty is disrespectful to the Song Dynasty. This must not be done, otherwise we, the Song Dynasty, will lose face.
All lost."
He would rather die than go back to that cell. You know, he hasn't slept for several days, because the person lying next to him is his biggest enemy!
"Well said, we are the people of the Song Dynasty. How can we succumb to the laws of the previous dynasty? The common people would rather die than obey."
"The grassroots people are proud to be a people of the Song Dynasty and are willing to live and die for the people of the Song Dynasty."
"The common people must abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty in their lifetime."
...
These landowners stood up one after another, each one more excited than the other, and they put on a generous and self-sacrificing posture.
If you don't know what happened before, it must be because they are a group of loyal ministers.
Zhao Jingyan had actually predicted the result when Li Qi said the sentence just now, but when she saw these lovely landlords, she couldn't help turning her head and snickering.
As for Zhang Boyu and others, they are even dumbfounded. You are so loyal, so loyal that you have forgotten that a month ago you were all common people in Jiaozhi, and the wealth in your hands was given to you by the Li family.
Li Qi said with great concern: "You must never force yourself. Don't worry, I am a very democratic person. I am very willing to sacrifice the small self to fulfill the greater self."
You are so democratic.
Those landlords wanted to strangle Li Qi to death, but they could only think about it.
"Your Excellency, you are concerned about the country and the people. You worry about the world first, and then enjoy the happiness of the world. You are the pillar of our Song Dynasty. Everything you do is for the sake of our Song Dynasty. We are willing to share your worries."
"Yes, yes, the common people will burn all those land deeds when they return later. The common people are willing to swear allegiance to the Song Dynasty to the death."
"Burn the land deed and swear allegiance to the Song Dynasty to the death."
"Burn the land deed and swear allegiance to the Song Dynasty to the death."
"Burn the paper---no, burn the land deed and swear allegiance to the Song Dynasty."
.......
Li Qi hummed and nodded again, saying: "I believe that you are all talented people. Since you all think it is the best, and I am willing to follow your suggestions, well, let's do what we have done before.
Just set it on fire."
"Your Excellency is wise!"
The landowners shouted in unison, but tears were shining in the corners of their eyes and their hearts were bleeding.
"It's you who are wise."
Li Qi couldn't help it anymore and laughed a few times. He stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, please stand up."
It seems we made the right choice, otherwise we would have had to kneel here all day.
While feeling sad, these landowners also gained some relief and stood up to support each other. After all, they were old and had been kneeling for too long, and their feet were numb.
Li Qi was naturally not kind enough to give them a seat. He put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Jiaozhi is a very poor place. Everyone knows it, but it is not because this place is bad. People with this idea
, are generally people who blame others. What I hate the most is this kind of people. The reason is that the original rulers were incompetent in management. The way you used to make money was to farm land and exploit farmers. You will only earn a few acres to survive.
The money for land is already the limit, so when the land becomes saturated, it will be difficult for you to continue to improve your strength."
At this point, he changed the topic and said: "But now you will usher in a turning point in your life, a turning point that can go to no limit. Making money by cultivating land has become a thing of the past. Those are the days that farmers should have.
If you have some potential, you won't compete with farmers for a small amount of money. You should take a longer-term view. In today's era, standing still is going backwards."
The landowners all bowed their heads and listened quietly, feeling anxious again. They had just suffered such a big fall in front of Li Qi, and now they dared not take it lightly.
Li Qi continued: "The reason why our Song Dynasty can be proud of the world in terms of wealth is because the Song Dynasty regards agriculture as the foundation, not the whole thing, just like the roots of a big tree. Without agriculture, the country will naturally be in ruins."
It no longer exists. Although the roots are the most important and indispensable for a tree, the most valuable thing is the fruits on the tree. Those who can pick the fruits are smart people, not conservative people.
We live by the roots of trees. And the fruit is business, which is the most profitable industry.
It won't take long, once agriculture stabilizes, the imperial court will vigorously promote commerce here. By then, many businessmen from Bianliang will come here to do business, and my own Zuixianju will also come here to open shops and workshops.
Opening a factory is your opportunity. How to make money with the money you have is a very profound lesson.
However, as we all know, trading involves losses and profits, and it is risky. No one can guarantee that you will make a profit without losing money.
But you are lucky, because in order to promote business, the imperial court will definitely provide very preferential policies, but these policies have no effect on the poor, but for you rich people, it is really like a gift from God.
Xianlu, you will definitely become the first batch of wealthy businessmen in this place in the future. When business starts, the court will definitely tighten its policies. If latecomers want to catch up with you, they will have to spend ten times or even a hundred times the effort. You say
, are you lucky?"
These landowners are not stupid people. On the contrary, they are all very shrewd. Li Qi said it so clearly. How could they not know the interests involved? They were already looking forward to the future in their hearts. They said in unison: "Sir, how could they not know the interests involved?
The common people shed tears of gratitude when they give you kind words."
"There is no need to say thank you. Hello, the Song Dynasty is good." Li Qi smiled faintly and said: "In a word, if you follow the imperial court's policy, you will definitely gain a lot of benefits. However, if you want to swim against the current,
If so, then you probably have to think about it first."
Everyone said in unison again: "Thank you so much, sir, for your guidance."
Li Qi nodded, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go back. Take a shower when you get home, and lie in bed and think about it."
"Yes. The grassroots resigned."
All the landowners retreated, but instead of breathing a sigh of relief, they tensed up even more, because a new era was about to usher in, and there would be no lack of passion and it would be very interesting.
They are all looking forward to it.
Li Qi, on the other hand, breathed out softly, feeling a little tired, and said to Zhang Boyu and others: "You don't need me to teach you how to do the rest."
Now Zhang Boyu and the others are about to regard Li Qi as their idol. Li Qi taught them a good lesson just now, and they all benefited a lot. They cupped their hands and said: "Privy minister, please rest assured, I will definitely handle the matter properly."
Zhao Jingyan reminded: "Don't forget that there are many people outside who are concerned about this matter. How can you explain to the people if you just let those landlords go?"
"Yeah, I almost forgot about it."
Li Qidao: "Xueshi Liu."
"The official is here."
"Immediately go and draw up a notice in the name of the emperor to tell the world that the emperor will grant amnesty to Jiaozhi. Except for the death row prisoners and rapists, all others will be released. As for those death row prisoners, the death penalty will be changed to a suspended death sentence and let them go.
Build roads and open up wasteland."
Zhao Jingyan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was both excited and depressed at the same time. Why didn't I think of such a simple method? She couldn't help but glance at Li Qi.
Li Qi raised his head proudly and blinked, feeling very embarrassed.
Virtue.
Zhao Jingyan immediately turned her head, with a hint of blush on her jade-like face. (To be continued...)
