The black cloth slid down silently, revealing a strange large copper coin that was square on the outside and round on the inside, one foot square, except for Lin Feng's descendants, everyone else looked at this monster piece inexplicably.

"What is this copper coin that is not a copper coin? I'm afraid that everyone is confused at the moment. Lin Feng pointed to this strange copper coin and said in a loud voice:

"The sky is round and the place is round, and the outer saint is the inner king, which is the cultural origin of our copper coins. However, I, Lin, found from my own personal experience in the past year that in fact, this principle should be reversed: a country, a state, and an army should most uphold the 'inner saint and outer king'! ”

Everyone at the scene was shocked, and looked at Lin Feng in surprise, and the eyes of the Sihu Su Hui who joined the army lit up and stared at Lin Feng tightly.

Lin Feng stood in front of the strange copper coin and talked eloquently: "To say something immodest, in the past year or so, Lin has been invincible in the north and south, what is the basis?" It is a group of brothers behind me, with one heart and one mind, hand in hand. This is true in Tanzhou, in Guiguan, in Liaoguo, in Jinzhou, and in Qingyuan. If Lin was not good to his brothers, he would have known where the corpse of Lu Dao was!

However, from another point of view, anything that is conducive to the national interests of Datang, Lin Feng will not give up a single penny! ”

Lin Feng asked Zhao Zanting's waist knife in the past, held it in the air and said: "You may not believe that with such a steel knife, our Datang can exchange two young and strong horses with a good saddle in Liao this time, and Lin even once auctioned a knife for fifteen horses!" ”

Rao is Shouzhou officials here are all local tyrants, and they also know the economic interests contained in Lin Feng's words, a horse in Datang now costs at least four yuan, and this knife can be sold for eight yuan, and the highest is sixty yuan, which is definitely worth the money, and more importantly, this is still a transaction with the arrogant and unreasonable Khitans, which is even more rare.

In Lin's view, this is a virtuous circle of long chain of interests! Such a treasure knife has been exchanged for the precious war horse that Datang urgently needs, adding to the odds of victory on the battlefield, establishing the dignity of my Datang, and bringing allies closer, why not? Looking further, if we treat the capable people who refine the knife with generous treatment, they will forge the knife more carefully; And further on, we will have enough money to buy better iron ore and coal, and these operators will also benefit from it, and even the craftsmen who open the mines will be treated better, and we will have more spare money to buy more goods. This is definitely a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people! Lin Feng is like a businessman who sells goods, and tries his best to promote the business concept of "everyone is really good".

Lin Feng waited for a while, and saw that many people slightly bowed their heads in agreement with this truth, and then continued: "This is an example of the economy, let's change to the military and political aspects!" It is true that our Datang only sent 20,000 troops to easily take back a Chu State equivalent to the area of Datang, but if there were no rent exemption for three years, equal treatment, and many 'inner saint' measures to appease the people in peace, how could the workers, peasants, and businessmen of the former Chu State selflessly support us in Tanzhou? Can the soldiers of the former Chu State help us fight the Guiguan War without regrets? Will the various ethnic minorities in Guiguan contribute to repel the Southern Han army in the March battle?

Similarly, if we hadn't quickly pacified Chu State, Qingyuan, and even the military and civilians in Wuyue, Fuzhou, Southern Han, Wenzhou, and other places through generous policies such as tax exemption for three years, would these regions have returned to our Datang with peace of mind? Can my Datang have the confidence of a great country today, and can it have such a grand occasion?

In the final analysis, what is good for the people and all the subjects of the Tang Dynasty is good for the Tang Dynasty, and it is naturally good for everyone here! ”

Lin Feng's tirade was reasonable and well-founded, which made many people at the scene ponder, Lin Feng said it soundly, the reason is very simple, and it is also very correct, but people are selfish, how can we ensure that such a beneficial and harmless thing can be persistently done?

"After talking about the past, let's talk about the future. Lin can assert that there will be a big war in Shouzhou in the future, and it is a big war related to the future belonging of Shouzhou and the future national fortune of Datang. If we want to survive this big war, or even turn defeat into victory, who will we rely on? Rely on me Lin Feng? I only have two arms and two legs, and how many enemy soldiers can I kill if I try my best?! By you? No matter how brave you are, you are just a drop in the ocean on the battlefield! Lin Feng's voice suddenly became stern, and he said loudly, "Who do we rely on in the end?" Only by every soldier of the Shouzhou Army! Only rely on the people of this city and Shouzhou! Only when everyone unites and swears to resist can we successfully pass this test of life and death! ”

Because of his excitement and excessive force, Lin Feng stopped and gasped for a few breaths, and held the injury in his ribs with his hand. Wu Qiao wanted to get up to help Lin Feng, but he stopped him with his eyes.

"Lin has always been a straightforward person who has something to say to his face, and today he can be described as painstaking, the truth has been explained thoroughly, and the good things have been said, but the ugly words must also be said in person. In the future, if there is any objection to any decision made by myself or the Central Governor's Office, whether it is a big or small official, I can raise it at any time, and we can discuss it again. However, no matter who dares to harm the interests of Shouzhou and Datang with his own selfishness and self-interest, I guarantee that he will definitely enjoy Lin's special treatment! Lin Feng slowed down his speech and spoke word by word.

Listening to Lin Feng's chilling threat, everyone at the scene instantly remembered the incident of the slaughter of Wang Tai's family, the assistant teacher of Jinling City, and they all trembled.

"This symbol, I call it 'the people's seal', I hope that in the future, every Shouzhou official, before doing anything, think about the people of Shouzhou, think about the motherland of the Tang Dynasty, everything must be for the people, everything must be for the country!" Speaking of this, Lin Feng pointed to the strange copper coin on the table, changed his tone, and said in a harmonious voice:

"Of course, we, the parents, are highly aligned with the interests of the people! Therefore, in Lin Feng's eyes, everyone here, including Lin himself, naturally needs all the 'inner saints'.

Now I announce that in the future, all of you here will also have the right to invest in the special business operation presided over by the Central Governor's Mansion and Shouzhou Mansion, as long as your money comes from the right way! Those who perform well in office, regardless of the position, will be rewarded with a diligence and integrity bonus equivalent to the annual salary at the end of the year; From today, a total of six horse-drawn carriages will be added to the three prefectures, and everyone can apply for free use as long as it is an important business. ”

That's great news! The people present couldn't help but look at each other, their faces broke the solemnity just now, and a smile appeared.

"All the brothers who have followed me know that as long as you do your best, all kinds of rewards and benefits will be sent to you. However, if anyone dares to bend the law for personal gain and derelict their duties, I don't need to stress the consequences! Lin Feng commanded after the last, and formally opened his mouth to ask who had important matters to discuss openly at the scene.

Everyone didn't expect Lin Feng to do what he said, and now he started to discuss all kinds of important matters, and they were stunned for a while, and no one said a word.

"Since everyone has nothing particularly important, then Lin will be the east at noon today, have a light meal in the Thorn Shi Mansion, get close to the brothers, and hope that everyone can appreciate their faces!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

No one will object to this proposal, and everyone will stand up and give thanks.
