2152 Influence with Love?
Lin Yuan walked into the reception room, only to see more than a dozen men in suits sitting in the room, all of them looked polite, even Gandhi, Gandhi only wore clothes made of Indian homespun cloth in the future, sloppy, British Prime Minister Churchill once said of Gandhi: "A disgusting guy." ”
When everyone saw Lin Yuan walk in, they all got up to welcome him, Lin Yuan smiled and told everyone that they didn't need to be polite, and then asked everyone to sit down, Lin Yuan first said: "Everyone is here to contribute to the construction of the Kolkata Autonomous Region, right?" I welcome that. ”
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he laughed, and then a middle-aged man sitting on Lin Yuan's left hand smiled and said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, I am Mangil, the editor-in-chief of the Indian Nation, and we are here to ask you to allow India to become independent. ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself that as I expected, they were here to ask for Indian independence, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I have only just conquered Calcutta now, India still has a large area of land in the hands of the British, you should not come to me to ask for India's independence, but to ask the British." ”
Mangill smiled and said, "I'm not talking about now, but about the future, when you take down the whole of India, and then let India become independent." ”
Lin Yuan was a little unhappy when he heard this, and secretly thought in his heart: "In this way, we Chinese have become working for you." We went to great lengths to drive out the British, and then handed over the fruits of victory to you? I used to support a lot of resistance forces, and after driving out the invaders, I handed over power to them, but they fought the invaders with real guns, what have you done? ”
Lin Yuan didn't say this directly, he just said lightly: "I can hand over India to you, but can you manage India well?" ”
Mangill hesitated for a moment, then said, "We should be able to govern India well, right?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "What do you mean that it should be able to be governed well?" Let me ask you first, how do you plan to solve the problem of the slums in Kolkata? ”
Mangil frowned and said, "Well, I think we should build them a house and let them live in it." ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "Build a house for them and let them live in it?" Do you know how many people and how many families are in the slums of Kolkata? If you were to build one house for each family, how many houses would you have to build? Where are these houses going to be built? Are there still residents in the place where the house is built? Where are these residents moving? ”
Lin Yuan's string of problems was like a string of bombshells, blowing up Mangil dizzy, Mangill sighed and said, "We will find a way to solve these problems one by one." ”
Lin Yuan smiled secretly in his heart: "You still have a way to solve it?" You Indians are notoriously inefficient, and in my time, you Indians were determined to solve the housing problem for 900,000 poor people in the slums, and in five years, we finally solved the housing problem for 6,000 poor families, and there are millions of people that you can't solve at all. ”
Lin Yuan thought of this and smiled: "You can't solve it, right?" But now I have thought of a way, so India should still be our autonomous region in China, so that the Indian people can get out of poverty. ”
Mangil was silent, and then Gandhi, who was sitting at the back, spoke: "Mr. Lin Yuan, we have a way to solve not only the problem of slums, but also the problems of India. ”
Lin Yuan looked at Gandhi and asked, "Do you have a way to solve the problem of caste discrimination and female discrimination in India?" ”
Gan nodded and said, "Not bad! ”
Lin Yuan said: "Okay, tell me your way." ”
Gandhi said: "We should use 'love' and 'justice' to influence everyone, let them understand the true meaning of 'love', and I can also use 'hunger strike' and other means to awaken the goodness in their hearts." ”
Lin Yuan tried his best to hold back so that he didn't laugh out loud, he sighed and said to Gandhi: "Can the 'love' and 'justice' you said work?" I met a gang of gangsters today, and I used my gun to influence them. ”
Gandhi shook his head and said, "We should not use violence in the face of violence, but we should use love to influence them, and if a person hits us on the left cheek, we should send the right cheek to him to hit them, so that we can influence them." ”
Lin Yuan finally laughed, everyone saw Lin Yuan laughing, they were all angry, Lin Yuan put away his smile, and said seriously: "Your method of 'influencing with love' will not work at all, and the hunger strike is even more useless, what does your hunger strike have to do with me?" Right? ”
Gandhi frowned and said, "Using 'love' to influence is the only feasible way, Mr. Lin Yuan, do you have a more clever way to solve India's problems?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course I have a way, my method is very simple, divide the land in the countryside, your land concentration in India is very strict, to borrow an ancient saying from our China, the rich have no land, the poor have no land, 15 percent of your people hold 75 percent of the land in their hands, and if you distribute these lands to the peasants, many problems will be solved." ”
Gandhi thought for a moment and asked, "Can the division of land solve the problem of slums in the city?" ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Of course you can, farmers don't have land to enter the city, if the family has land and a house, who will squeeze into the city, we divide the land, people in the slums, people without skills will return to the countryside, skilled people will stay, the people who stay are definitely a minority, and it will be much more convenient for us to build a house." ”
At this time, Mangil shook his head and said: "Private property is sacrosanct, and now the land is the private property of the landlords, how can we rob their private property?" ”
In many countries in the Western world, land is privately owned, and there are very few countries like China where land is state-owned, and the national elite of India were raised by Western education, so they said such things.
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Everyone lives on this land, so everyone has the right to use the land under our feet, and the land cannot and should not belong to a few people." ”
Mangill was once again speechless by Lin Yuan's refutation, not knowing what to say. Gandhi said again at this time: "Mr. Lin Yuan, those who occupy the land will definitely not give up the land lightly, do you have a way to get them to give up the land?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Whoever refuses to give up the land will beat him until he is willing to give up!" ”
Gandhi shook his head again and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, it is always bad to use violence. ”
