Wanyan Aguda said calmly: "So, you seem to have made up your mind that I won't behead you?"
Damn it, as long as you open your mouth, I will have a way. If your mother pretends to be stupid, then I will be doomed. Li Qi shook his head and said: "Of course not. If I deliberately distort the facts and slander His Majesty, and Your Majesty wants to kill me, then
I have absolutely no words."
Wanyan Agu snorted.
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Father, this man is so audacious, speaks arrogant words, and repeatedly insults me, Da Jin, I must not spare him."
"What you said makes sense."
Wanyan Aguda nodded, glanced at the ministers, and said: "But I think I still want to convince him to die. As long as you can point out the error in what he said, I will kill him immediately."
Wanyan Zongbi immediately said: "Father, back then A Shi'er and those Khitan nobles oppressed and oppressed us year after year. Naturally we want to retaliate against them. What's wrong with that?"
Wanyan Aguda nodded and said calmly: "Yes, those people do deserve to be punished, but as for others, should we also retaliate? Revenge against the people of Dajin? Is this what you mean?"
These three questions in a row made Wanyan Zongbi look stunned, shook his head and said, "Isn't that what you mean?"
Wanyan Aguda asked curiously: "Then what do you mean?"
"Well."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "But he was rude to his father. If he is easily spared, where is the majesty of his father?"
"Speaking rudely?"
Wanyan Aguda shook his head and said: "This is not a reason. I have promised him before. If what he says is reasonable, then I will spare him. Jun Wuxiyan, isn't it also the power of the emperor?"
"this."
Wanyan Zongwang was at a loss for words.
Wanyan Aguda glanced at everyone again and said expressionlessly: "Why don't you all say anything? Do you think what he said is right?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
Wanyan Agu said: "Then just tell me."
Everyone lowered their heads again. They didn't know what Wanyan Aguda was thinking now, so if they weren't completely sure, no one would be willing to be the first person.
Wanyan Aguda waited for a moment, but when no one said anything, he turned his gaze to Li Qi, sighed, and said, "You're lucky." He waved his hand, and the guards on both sides of Li Qi immediately let go of him.
Fuck! I may not have adapted to this feudal system yet. Li Qi was greatly relieved. In fact, he had already regretted it just now. If he was given another chance, he would never say such a radical thing. However, this cannot be blamed.
He, after all, the scenes inside and outside Yanjing City were really intolerable to him, a future generation, and he was so angry that he spoke so bluntly just now. In fact, with his eloquence, it is not difficult to express it tactfully.
.
At the same time, Zhao Liangsi and Zhao Kai were also sweating for Li Qi. Zhao Liangsi had already begun to silently swear in his heart that he would never come to negotiate with this person next time. It was too terrible.
Wanyan Aguda smiled slightly and said: "I will record your life first, and you can continue talking. Now that the matter has come to this, I believe you should risk your life and tell everything."
Li Qi stood up, twisted a few times, and said: "Actually, I just want to say that tyranny can only dominate for a while, but if you want it to last forever, benevolent government is the way to go. May I ask, your majesty, if it had been the case back then, all of your Jurchen clan members
If you live a happy life and have plenty of food and clothing, would your Majesty still raise an army at that time?"
Wanyan Aguda frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Keep talking."
Li Qidao: "Actually, the people's demands are very simple. They just want a mouthful of food and a little bit of dignity. But if these two trivial demands are deprived, they will die anyway, so they will naturally choose to do the same.
It is said that conquering a country is difficult, but in fact holding on to it is the most difficult. His Majesty has built such a powerful empire in less than ten years, but now it is just a loft in the sky. Although Ah Shier
They have not been caught yet, but no matter what, the people of the Jin Kingdom are innocent. The war caused them to lose their homes. Your Majesty should help them rebuild their homes now. If the whole country is happy, I think this will be much more effective than suppressing it by force.
More durable. However, His Majesty does not seem to want to help them rebuild their homes."
Wanyan Agu said: "Now that I, King Jin, have just captured Yanjing, I naturally have to use extraordinary means to deal with it. You have never been to Shangjing. I don't know why you are so sure."
Li Qi's eyes narrowed slightly and he said loudly: "It's just based on this negotiation."
Wanyan Aguda was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "So you said all this was because of this negotiation. Okay, you can continue. I'm also curious about the connection between these two things."
Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm here to negotiate. Do you really think that I came to you Dajin with nothing to do to make some unfaithful advice? There is still a fool in my family. Li Qidao: "First of all, from the beginning of the negotiation,
You just focus on the one million yuan. Yes, if I were in your position, I can understand it, but if I, the Song Dynasty, agree to your request, what will you do with the money? I can't imagine it.
Whether it’s about giving rewards for meritorious service, rewarding those who contributed to the founding of the country, or filling the national treasury, am I right?”
Wanyan Aguda asked back: "Isn't it supposed to be like this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course you should. You have all sacrificed your lives to help His Majesty conquer this vast territory, so you should naturally be rewarded. But I think things are urgent. Now most people in your country can't even eat. How can you control their life or death?"
You don't care, you only care about your own enjoyment, at least you don't consider this at all."
Wanyan Sheng said: "We just reasonably ask you to use the land tax to compensate me for the losses caused by Dajin helping you capture Yanjing. What does this have to do with the people of our country? Isn't it because you don't want this money to show sympathy for our people? What a joke."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I didn't say that. On the contrary, I also feel that this one million yuan is too little and not enough for your country's current situation."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
Both Song and Jin began to whisper. Especially Zhao Kai was shocked.
Wanyan Sheng laughed and said, "So it seems that you are willing to give more? That couldn't be better."
Li Qi chuckled: "How much is not a problem, the key is whether you want to enrich the country or enrich the people?"
Wanyan Zongwang hummed: "Is there any difference between the two?"
"Of course, the wealth of the country does not mean the wealth of the people, but the wealth of the people must make the country rich. Between the two, I don't need to say more about which is more important."
Wanyan Aguda nodded and said: "This makes sense, but according to what you said, what should it be like?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's very simple. Let us merchants from the Song Dynasty come to your Kingdom of Jin to invest, oh, that means we come to your Kingdom of Jin to do business."
Wanyan Aguda was stunned and said, "How do you say this?"
Li Qi replied: "If you want to make the country rich and the people rich, you can only do a good job in economic construction first. Now your country is in a state of desperate need for prosperity. After experiencing the war, your country's economy has fallen to a low point. The people have no livelihood and no life."
Naturally, it is not much better, and they have no capital to do business. At this time, they need the influx of foreign money. Only in this way can the economy of your country be revitalized as quickly as possible. However, the ability of our merchants in the Song Dynasty is obvious to all.
Yes, Your Majesty, you might as well think about it, if our merchants from the Song Dynasty come to do business in your country, then they will always have to spend money to buy land, build houses, pay taxes, and hire workers. These are all investments. In this way, the people of your country will
If you have something to do, and if you have something to do, you will get wages. If you live a prosperous life, you will consume more. If you consume more, the economy will rise. Once the economy rises, your country's annual tax revenue will also increase. Naturally, the country will
It makes us rich. And the founding figures of your country are all big landowners. If this land is not used, it is just a piece of land. If it can make money, then this piece of land will be a cornucopia.
"Jiangjie, regarding this, you can refer to the land prices in Bianliang in the Song Dynasty and your land prices in Beijing. I think this matter will be of great benefit to your country and the whole country."
Li Qi understood that whether it was a feudal society or a slave society, the interests of these landowners were particularly important, so I specially designed a path for these big landowners to get rich to prevent them from opposing it.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Jin Kingdom fell into deep thought.
Li Qi struck while the iron was hot: "There are more than 100,000 businessmen in the Song Dynasty, and there are countless businesses that your country can do. Even if it is calculated in ten thousand people, as long as each person invests 1,000 guan, it will be 10 million guan, and
This money will continue to accumulate. In comparison, a mere million dollars is too little."
Wanyan Zongwang suddenly said: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid you Southern Dynasty merchants are the biggest winners."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Compared to the interests of your country, the interests of our merchants in the Song Dynasty are nothing. Once your country's consumption is stimulated, then your country's economic construction will be in motion. By then, your country's merchants will
There will gradually be more. The second prince should take a longer-term view. The only way is to be able to make money by yourself."
Wanyan Sheng said: "But it's very complicated here. Are you sure that your Southern Dynasty merchants will come to Dajin to do business?"
Li Qi shrugged and said: "As long as your country can open its arms to me, the merchants of the Song Dynasty, I believe they will not have trouble with money. In fact, I am one of them, maybe the first one. I believe Bo Jilie already knows that we are drunk.
Xianju plans to cooperate with Mr. He Shilie to open a restaurant in Shangjing. Once this restaurant is opened, I can guarantee that it can bring livelihood to at least hundreds of people. This is only the ability of my family."
"Economic construction. What a good economic construction." Wanyan Aguda chuckled, looked at Li Qi and said: "You are right, only the prosperity of the people is the real wealth of the country. This is the most urgent problem that Daikin needs to solve now." He
Then he asked the ministers: "What do you think about this?"
Everyone couldn't make up their mind for a while and was very confused. (To be continued...)
