Chapter 279: Turn on the flicker mode
"Fellow villagers, I am the Jinling County Commander personally appointed by His Majesty today. Hehe, speaking of which, I am also a native of Runzhou, I was adopted by my master when I was less than a year old, I grew up in Maoshan, and Jurong County, where Maoshan is located, is still our Linxian County, so I am also a homecoming! ”
Li Yi thought for a long time on the way here, he knew that he would inevitably have to give a speech today, but how to speak was a problem. It is easy to be serious and detach from the masses, and he does not have any mass base now, and if he is serious as soon as he comes up, it will really be a bunker. But it's not okay to be too gentle, they all say that the new official has three fires in office, although his county order says that he won't kill a few people to establish authority, but the majesty he should have must be there, otherwise, no one will take his words seriously. Since this is the case, Li Yi decided to play the emotional card first, and then find an opportunity to establish a prestige, so that the best effect can be achieved by being soft and rigid.
Li Yi asked Jiang Lichen to install a rudimentary version of the loudspeaker, with this, Li Yi spoke much easier, the voice didn't need to be too loud, and the people below could hear it clearly. Sure enough, as soon as I heard that Li Yi grew up in Maoshan since he was a child, the people below really showed an unexpected expression, and immediately looked at Li Yi's eyes a little kinder, in ancient times, the feelings of fellow villagers were very heavy, at least, the people of Jinling have now regarded Li Yi as their own.
Li Yi saw that the effect was good, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot. "Folks, I know that more than 40 years ago, our Jinling suffered a great suffering, and even made my Jinling almost destroyed. Later, thanks to the courage of the four major families to take on this responsibility, we Jinling was re-developed. I believe that the original intention of the first generation of the four masters is definitely for the good of our Jinling. It is also true that they will develop us very well, at least the people are healthy and prosperous. ”
The feelings of the people of Jinling for the four major families are absolutely true, no matter what they do, Jinling City can develop to this point today, it is absolutely inseparable from the four major families, so Li Yi did not deliberately suppress the credit of the four major families, one is one, and the other is two. Li Yi, who should admit it, will never deny it.
And Li Yi's words also gave the four families a huge surprise and surprise, they thought that Li Yi would desperately suppress the four families, but they didn't expect Li Yi to correct the name of the four families, seeking truth from facts, and being above board. Li Yi's personality did let them see what it means to be open-minded.
"Folks, I will not erase the credit of the four major families, and I admit it. However, what I want to do today is to take Jinling away from the hands of the four major families. Some people may not understand why we do this, but I can tell you clearly that Jinling will never develop in the hands of the four major families, and will even gradually perish. ”
As soon as Li Yi's voice fell, the following immediately exploded, now under the rule of the four major families, everyone does not say that they have no worries about food and clothing, but at least they can be satisfied, even if there are times when they are too poor to open the pot, but at least they live at ease, where did they come from, isn't this alarmist?
"Why do you say that?"
"You're slandering the four major families!"
"Humph! The people in the court are really villains, and they will only confuse the public with evil words......"
......
There is already a shouting and scolding below, some of these people are from the heart, and some are people from the four major families, that is, the water army of later generations. Because Li Yi just saw that one of the four major families was gesturing to the audience.
"Everyone, everyone, everyone!" Li Yi kept pressing down with both hands, and shouted three times in a row, and the people below gradually quieted down, but Li Yi's eyes were not very friendly. I believe that if Li Yi can't give a perfect explanation, then the good impression he just created on the people will be gone.
Li Yi's face was indifferent, and his body exuded a sense of confidence. "Everyone, facts speak louder than words, since everyone doesn't believe it, and the four masters are on the scene, how about we confront each other?"
"Confronted?" The people were stunned for a moment, and then they all nodded, confronting each other is indeed a good way, right and wrong, black and white, and it is clear at a glance.
Li Yi looked at the four masters with a smile and motioned for them to step forward.
The four masters all knew that something was going to happen, and they all had a bad premonition in their hearts, but the matter had come to this point, and they couldn't help but refuse.
Seeing the four major families walking to the front of the stage with unnatural faces, Li Yi smiled in his heart, he felt that it was time to turn on the flickering mode.
"Hehe, four, in front of all the folks today, we will have one to say, two to say two, as the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are bright, in front of them, it is better to tell the truth."
Sun Xian said yes stubbornly, and then the minds of the four of them were already running fast, ready to deal with Li Yi's question.
"On the first day I came to Jinling, I heard that the four major families blocked Jinling's trade routes, and all merchants were forbidden to buy goods from you, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Sun Xian breathed a sigh of relief, this question is not a secret, so to speak. "Yes, but it's for ease of management."
"Okay, let me ask you again, the people of Jinling may enter Beijing as officials?"
Sun Xian sweated on his forehead, although the county order of Jinling was his son-in-law, but they ignored the decrees of the imperial court, otherwise, it would be easy for the people of Jinling to recognize the imperial court, after all, the current Majesty Li Er is a generation of Ming monarchs, and once the people recognize the imperial court, then the status of their four major families will not be guaranteed. Therefore, they have never paid attention to the imperial court, let alone let the children of Jinling go out to be officials. These were their previous thoughts, Li Er had never taken care of this place before, and they were happy, no one expected Li Er to suddenly reach out here and catch them off guard.
"Can't!"
"Good! In that case, let me ask you, do you know what Jinling food is? What is a Charitable Foundation? What is a folding fan? What is Perfume? What is a mall? What is a greenhouse? Why can I grow vegetables in the winter? ”
Li Yi's question made the four major families look confused, Li Yi said that these are all new, and they all have an inseparable relationship with the imperial court, they naturally don't know, and they don't want to know.
And the four major families don't know, let alone the people below.
When Li Yi said this, his face became serious.
"Humph! The four families of the first generation are truly awe-inspiring. But when it comes to you, it has become a moth in Jinling. The reason why the merchants of Jinling are fooled is not because they have little experience, to put it bluntly, they don't understand anything. At the beginning, in order to centralize management, the four major families blocked the trade routes and unified planning. And now that Jinling has developed into a big city, you are still blocking the trade routes, which is not for the good of the people of Jinling, but blocking all the ways out for the people of Jinling. ”
"I said that these folks may not understand, it is because you have been locked up for too long and have no idea about the development outside. Let's put it this way! Now there is a new salt-making method in my Datang, which has greatly reduced the cost of salt-making, and now even ordinary people outside can afford to eat refined salt, but what about Jinling? How many people have eaten? Now there is a kind of shopping mall outside, where you can just walk into one store and buy all the things you need, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans, clothes, jewelry, and everything else you need. Now there is a kind of restaurant outside, and the food there is the best food in my Datang, and it is very cheap, even ordinary people can eat one or two meals once in a while. There is an organization outside called Jinding Charity Foundation, which is an organization that can help some people for free, which is very good, it is free of charge. As far as I know, this charitable foundation has so far adopted tens of thousands of widows and orphans, and has supported tens of thousands of elderly and children. These are not the most important, the most important thing is that now Datang is looking for guys everywhere, it is not an exaggeration to say that all the guys in the Jinding Business Alliance, the minimum monthly income is 800 Wen, and how much can my people in Jinling save enough 800 Wen a year? I'm afraid it's not even a percent! Folks, it's not that I'm alarmist, the reason why I'm standing here is to let everyone be like the people outside, although I can't guarantee you glory and wealth, but at least you can have no worries about food and clothing! ”
