Chapter 148: The War of Tea Seeds (2)
This is not the first time such a public meeting has been held, but for many people, such a meeting has been held for several years.
Every time, it is very important, as if a major event related to the fortunes of the country will be held. It can be said that many people have thought of this incident when this meeting was held, but they are afraid that it will have a lot to do with the national fortunes. So naturally, his interest increased greatly, and he began to find a way to find some gossip to see what His Majesty the Emperor was going to say.
They will not doubt the significance of Zhang Hongbin's meeting, because the previous meetings have proved that they have a far-sighted emperor Majesty, an emperor whose interests of the republic are paramount, and the interests of Huaxia are paramount. For many people in the republic, in fact, they want to say more of a word: "Your Majesty, if there is anything you have to say, we will do it!" ”
It is not denied that Zhang Hongbin's power is the lowest among the emperors of all dynasties, at least unprecedented. But his prestige, especially of the people, was the highest. It doesn't matter if it's blind worship or his personal charm. Now Zhang Hongbin wants the people to tighten their belts and donate all the money, and with his personality charm, at least 99% of the people will respond.
After the initial adjustment of the loudspeaker, Zhang Hongbin stepped onto the podium. This is not just broadcasting in the Chang'an Stadium, due to the upgrading of the level, radio technology has begun to appear, Zhang Hongbin's speech, will be directly transmitted to every inch of land where the radio broadcaster is installed. Of course, other places have already been specifically notified to let them turn on the player on time.
Many places do not need government organizations, and when the people heard that His Majesty was going to announce something, they immediately gathered around the loudspeaker and waited. If there is no place, there are several on the surrounding courtyard walls and even on the branches of trees.
"Fellow citizens, my people, I am Zhang Hongbin, the emperor of the Chinese People's Republic, and now I only hope that you can be quiet, because I have something to say to you. This is not only a matter for the people of our Republic, but also an obligation that the people of China should fulfill. Zhang Hongbin first said an opening sentence.
Originally, he wanted to say 'I', but not long ago, Xiao Yao, who is the vice minister of the administration and is expected to become a minister in the next term and is also the leader of the ruling party, wrote to admonish, saying that if the emperor does not become 'I', it seems that it will damage the majesty and hurt the country. And it has also been recognized by many congressmen, Zhang Hongbin originally thought that it was not bad to be close to the people, after all, he originally grew up in an era when you didn't have an emperor. However, there is still an emperor in his time, and the emperor is himself, okay...... That's it.
"In the past, it was all my country of etiquette in China, and guests should be entertained well when they come, so as not to lose the national body. I remember the Han Dynasty, especially at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Xiongnu had little power and were completely dependent on the Han Dynasty. However, such forces often go south to fight grass valleys, burn and loot our China. If you can beat it, you will return with a full load, and if you can't beat it, you will be directly called a minister. What about Hanting? Since others have called us vassals, we are also a state of etiquette, so we accept it, right?
When he was weak, others paid tribute, and used some of the cheapest things on the grassland to transport them to Luoyang to the Son of Heaven, who was happy and put on a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Do you know that if someone else sells those things, it will be worth a tenth of the money of one of these jewels? In other words, the Han Court's return gift was much more precious than their tribute.
Ah, maybe a lot of people say, 'We're a country of etiquette, how can we show our strength otherwise?' 'Whew! Those Huns took the jewels back, but they were afraid that they would laugh at Hanting's stupid X!
No, others are originally very weak, as long as they work hard, others will be finished, and the result? Not only gave others a recuperation, but also gave others the capital to become stronger, and others took these gold, silver and jewelry to exchange for silver and strategic materials as attached courtiers, and continued to fight grass valley in the second year. As a result, Han Ting did it again and again, for his own vanity, using the lives of his compatriots and the hard-earned money of his compatriots to pay for the invasion of the enemy.
Such a court is not one or two, the Ming Dynasty is better, and it can be regarded as having backbone if it is not harmonious. However, it is also a direct offense to treat foreign countries to come to the court, and the Wa State even has the so-called 'tributary trade', which means that through the guò tribute, to obtain profits that can not be earned in ordinary life. I remember another time, the fleets of the two Japanese kingdoms came to pay tribute by posing as envoys, but in the end the minister discovered the truth. Look, everyone else treats me Huaxia as a stupid X, and we are still complacent about the so-called surrender of the four seas?
Now that I am the Emperor, do you think I will allow such a transgression to continue?
I also inform the whole country that our Chinese People's Republic will not cede land, do not make peace with relatives, and will not accept internal subordination. There are only two kinds of existence in front of us: the existence of the zài that we have conquered and absorbed; The existence of zài that has not yet had time to conquer or has not yet been fully absorbed! Zhang Hongbin shouted loudly with dissatisfaction with the old rites.
Perhaps at this moment, many Confucian children will shout: "Sven sweeps the floor, not a son of man!" ”
But more than that, it was the cheers of the people, because they had a strong government that would not make mistakes.
"Okay, okay, I know you're all excited at this moment, but I still hope you calm down. Because that's not the point I'm going to talk about today. Zhang Hongbin made them excited for a minute, and then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Not long ago, Dashun drove the Portuguese out of Macao, and there is no more foreigners in our Chinese territory, which is indeed a happy thing. However, according to the latest intelligence bureau information, this group of Portuguese people collected a lot of tea seeds and took them with them before leaving. According to reliable information, it is likely that they are planning to try to grow tea in Africa or India.
After all, their hometown is far, far away from my Huaxia. Instead of walking so far to buy tea, it is better to plant it in a nearby area, which is more convenient to transport, isn't it? The most important thing is that with the reform of the trade policy, the tea we sell will not be so cheap, and since the other party feels that he can't make so much money in Huaxia, he naturally has to find another way to make more money.
The question arises, what do you see in my words, I will give you five minutes to think! Zhang Hongbin did not answer anything directly, but asked an inexplicable question.
Some people are puzzled, some people are puzzled, some people try to answer, some people think they seem to know something, and a few people laugh and say nothing.
Five minutes is really not too long, especially for people who are immersed in thinking, it is just a blink of an eye.
Finally, the voice of His Majesty the Emperor came out again......
