Chapter 20: The Slave Trade Destroys Humanity? Later generations will remember this official
When Li entered the mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was fierce, and his eyes were wide open.
It seems that if Li Jin doesn't give him a reasonable explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang will even beat Li Jin directly.
After Li Jin heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, his expression was light, and his tone was even more understated, and he asked rhetorically:
"Who told you that it was the people of the Ming Dynasty??"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face froze, and his eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Li Jin.
What do you mean? These people are not the people of the Ming Dynasty?
Who are these people who are buying and selling?
But then Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something and continued to ask:
"Those people look the same as us, why aren't they the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Jin rolled his eyes, the yellow race, as a symbol of the Asian region, naturally looks almost the same.
After all, yellow skin, black eyes, it's all the same.
"They look the same as us, it doesn't mean that they are our Ming people."
"The Mongols also look similar to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but their heart to kill the Ming Dynasty has never stopped."
"It's not just the Mongols, it's the same in many neighboring countries."
Zhu Yuanzhang understood at this time, and dared to love that Li Jin was buying and selling the population of other countries.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger subsided a lot.
But Queen Ma next to her still couldn't accept it and asked:
"Aren't people from other countries human?"
"How can we, the Ming Dynasty, boast of being the superior kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, sell the people of other countries into slavery? What is the difference between this and the beast? ”
Hearing this, Li Jin was a little unhappy and retorted:
"The so-called people who are not of my race will have different hearts."
"No matter when, the Heavenly Empire will always be fought, not boasted by itself, let alone taught by etiquette."
"These neighboring countries, when our Ming Dynasty is strong, it is naturally submissive."
"But if we are weak, will they still tell us any etiquette and morality?"
"Five nonsense, the lesson of Jingkang's shame is right in front of you, what is the morality to talk about these people who drink blood, I am just merciful enough to buy and sell their population."
When Queen Ma heard this, her face was still not good-looking, but Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again and again.
When Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da's Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang once shouted the slogan:
Expelled the Tartars, restored China, established the Chen Dynasty, and relieved the people.
Zhu Yuanzhang had long known the dangers of foreign races, but now that he knew that Li Jin was buying and selling the population of other races, his natural anger disappeared by half.
But Zhu Yuanzhang still asked uneasily:
"How do you know that those people are not buying and selling the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
"What if they buy and sell the Han people without your knowledge?"
Li Jin's eyebrows raised slightly at this time, and his voice was raised:
"How dare they? If I let me know which of them dares to buy and sell the people of the Ming Dynasty without telling me, I will not only have them raided their homes, but also peeled them and hung them on the Statue of Liberty. ”
"Let all the people who come to Shanghai County to buy and sell know that this is the fate of buying and selling the people of the Ming Dynasty."
At this moment, Li Jin was domineering, and the words he said were loud, which made people can't help but believe it.
But Zhu Biao and Liu Bowen frowned slightly when they heard Li Jin being so cruel.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Changgeng did this, which was very much in line with his heart.
Zhu Di next to him interjected:
"Then how do you distinguish between the people of the Ming Dynasty and the people of other races?"
"It's very simple, you can write Chinese characters or speak Chinese, whether you are of different races or not, you are not allowed to buy and sell!"
When Zhu Di and Zhu Biao heard this, they were a little confused, and felt that this was completely groundless.
"But what's the use of you?"
The corners of Li Jin's mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled:
"Of course, it won't be useful in the near future, but if the slave trade is completely launched, those aliens will start learning Chinese characters and Chinese in order to survive, it will naturally be useful."
"When these alien races begin to accept the cultural customs of our Ming Dynasty, and gradually begin to discard the written language of their own race, and learn all the Chinese written language, can these races still be called aliens?"
"At that time, these races will be our Han nationality, and they will be of the same root and origin, with the same customs, culture, language and writing."
"Good!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the case at this time and applauded Li Jin loudly.
"Li Jin, if you say so, then won't there be only one race in the world in the world?"
"This is the real strategy to exterminate the race!!"
"It's ruthless enough, poisonous enough, we like it."
Li Jin was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was only smiling, and he was not too surprised, but continued:
"Not only that, the old man came from the capital, isn't he curious about why Shanghu County is developing so fast?"
"Countless fertile fields outside the county, countless high-rise buildings in the city, and dozens of roads around, all thanks to these slaves, Shanghu County has today's prosperity."
Zhu Yuanzhang listened thoughtfully, but Liu Bowen couldn't help asking:
"Lord Li, even if the alien race is brutal, but you treat these slaves like this, won't you be condemned by your conscience?"
"No matter what, they are also living people, isn't Lord Li really not afraid of the comments of future generations?"
Li Jin didn't care at all, waved his right hand lightly, and said:
"With the blood of the enemy, watering the land of my Ming Dynasty and enriching the people of my Ming Dynasty, why not do it?"
"If I can make the people in my county rich and happy, even if it is stinking for 10,000 years, I will not hesitate to do it."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of the scene of entering Shanghu County, and he finally understood why he saw that the people who were farming were all wearing shackles.
Not only that, but he also remembered the lyrics that sounded when he saw the flag raising for the first time:
The dignified China wants the Quartet to congratulate!
It seems that Li Jin may not be as bad as he thinks.
"Buying and selling human beings, let's not care about right or wrong, if you can make the people of Shanghu County live a prosperous life, it will show your merits."
"But why did you build some Colosseum, so that people could fight with the beasts, and please the merchants, and make a profit, is this not inhuman?"
Zhu Yuanzhang revealed the matter of buying and selling human beings, but he talked about the Colosseum.
Thinking of the Colosseum now, it still makes him indignant.
The black man was a good man, and he only died in the mouth of the tiger in vain, which made Zhu Yuanzhang really unbearable.
"Could it be that these beast fighters are not the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
This time, Li Jin shook his head and said:
"Those people are indeed Ming people."
Unexpectedly, this sentence ignited Zhu Yuanzhang's anger again, and scolded:
"Since you are a Ming person, why do you want to watch those people go in and die?"
"Knowing that there are fierce beasts in there, and after entering, there is no life, and you still let them go in and send them to death?"
