Jiang Daoli sneered and said: "If my grandfather had ten acres of land and gave it to my father, and my father gave it to me, then these ten acres of land belong to my family, and it is only natural that every son inherits his father's inheritance!"
"If I take it out and give it to others, I will be disrespectful to my descendants and ruin the inheritance of my ancestors. Do you understand?"
Applause immediately erupted from the audience.
Everyone considered that Zhao Xiaole might say something treacherous.
There are even people who are ready to curse.
Zhao Xiaole nodded and said: "Of course I understand. You don't need to tell me this. Since you and I are talking about it as a matter of course, I will tell you!"
Zhao Xiaole turned around and looked around the audience, the look on his face gradually turned cold, and everyone he saw quickly shrank their necks.
The whole place fell silent immediately.
Zhao Xiaole said: "Don't you hear that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers?"
"All the land in the world belongs to the emperor, so where does your land come from?"
"What's ridiculous is that some people take the emperor's land as their own, but instead accuse the emperor of not being able to equalize the land for his people, and even accuse him of being a robber!"
"What's your intention?"
The words fell loudly into the Lihua Garden.
What was the purpose of the last sentence? Zhao Xiaole even used his inner strength, making everyone in the audience tremble in shock.
The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king’s ministers!
This is the rhetoric used by emperors to rule the world since ancient times, but it also comes from the mouths of sages.
In fact, a sage once said, the world is the world and the people are the only people in the world!
However, after the imperial system, this statement has become a castle in the air and has always been scorned by others, so it is impossible for Zhao Xiaole to say it.
What to say to whom.
All Zhao Xiaole can say now is that in the whole world, is it the king's land?
Who dares to compete with the emperor for land?
Isn't that rebellion?
With this sentence, Zhao Xiaole silenced the whole audience. No one dared to speak anymore, even Jiang Daoli stopped talking.
Although he still had countless cannonballs, they were all blocked by Zhao Xiaole in front of this sentence.
Anyone who opposes it is planning to rebel.
Whoever conspires to rebel will have his or her home confiscated.
If your home is confiscated, not to mention your land, even your life will be lost.
Even the great Confucians of Chinese Studies did not dare to say anything at this moment.
Although everyone disagreed in their hearts, they did not dare to refute it directly.
Killer!
When no one spoke, Zhao Xiaole readjusted his tone, turned around and asked, "I'm done, it's your turn!"
Jiang Daoli smiled awkwardly and cupped his hands, "Even so, there is too much resistance to the implementation of the New Deal. If it is not done right, it will shake the foundation of the country. I will never want to see the country in trouble!"
"And the Marquis of Zhen Guo has not answered the following question. What should they do if they are unwilling to hand over the land?"
For a Confucian scholar like Jiang Daoli, saying these things is tantamount to cheating.
He had no other plan. Although he knew that the new policy would be beneficial to the country, he refused because it was too much resistance.
They even used resistance to force Zhao Xiaole to admit that it is difficult to implement the New Deal at present.
Wouldn't Zhao Xiaole know about his frivolous nature?
"You don't have to worry about this. If you are willing to give out land to the poor, it will be a meritorious service. The court will definitely mark it down. Those who are unwilling to give out land will definitely not be forced!"
Zhao Xiaole calmly resolved the upcoming crisis.
What everyone is most worried about is whether the New Deal will be enforced after it is implemented. If so, there will be great resistance among the people.
When Zhao Xiaole said this, everyone stopped worrying.
It turns out that this was done voluntarily!
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Of course, Zhao Xiaole would not have said earlier that those who voluntarily surrendered their land would definitely be taken care of.
For those who are unwilling to hand over their land, the court will definitely promulgate some measures to restrict them!
Not willing?
It won’t be up to you then!
I will not allow you to do business, I will not allow you to engage in politics, I will double your taxes, and I will force you to obey military service. I wonder if you are willing to hand over the land when the time comes?
Right now... I can't say these words yet.
The scene was silent for a long time.
No one spoke again for a long time.
Seeing this, Heng Hou asked: "Zhen Guohou supports the implementation of the new deal. If there are any opponents, they can raise questions now!"
"If there are no objections, I think the argument ends there!"
As he spoke, he specifically looked at those great scholars in Chinese studies.
I saw these people rolling their eyes one by one, secretly calculating in their hearts, if it is true as the Marquis of Zhenguo said, whether this new policy is worth implementing.
Not only them, but many people who originally opposed the New Deal are now thinking about the pros and cons of the New Deal after stepping out of their own positions.
In the end, they concluded that the New Deal did more good than harm.
Even the benefits are immeasurable.
It's just that it's hard for anyone to speak.
Henghou urged again, "If there are no opponents, I will declare the winner or loser of this demonstration conference!"
At this time, a Chinese scholar sitting in the front row said, "Wait a minute!"
Henghou was stunned for a moment but did not stop him.
Let this great scholar finish his sentence.
However, the great scholar did not come up to the stage. Instead, he stood in the audience and said to Zhao Xiaole, "The Marquis of Zhen Guo is truly a genius. He has such extraordinary insights at such a young age. I admire him!"
Zhao Xiaole did not expect this change. Aren't these old diehards opposed to the New Deal?
How could you stand on his side?
Some of the gentry who were doing this did not expect it, and their expressions changed one after another.
It's like your most beautiful daughter-in-law, she sees a handsome guy on the street, she goes to him, and she wants to divorce you.
I saw several other great scholars also secretly nodding, obviously very much agreeing with this statement, and the great scholar continued:
"When I reached this age, I no longer cared about fame and fortune. I just wanted to find good strategies for governing the country!"
"If the prince can be assisted by the governor of the country, I, Jingyang, will be prosperous! I just hope that we can live to see that day and have the opportunity to see what the country is like!"
They slowly began to recognize it.
They did not agree with the New Deal at first. After some arguments from Zhao Xiaole, these people gradually realized that the New Deal seemed to be pretty good.
Even Zhao Xiaole has drawn a blueprint for the future.
Wealth is stored in the people, and the country thrives and thrives. The great Confucians even thought about how many children from poor families could be cultivated at that time.
The most important thing is that although Zhao Xiaole's words deviate from the way of sages, their core is the same as the way of sages.
This is the reason why they really recognize it.
Zhao Xiaole knew that he should be humble at this time.
I don't know what I should do. You're so polite to me, and I don't know what to do?
"I'm sorry, you're welcome. I just know some tricks, but I'm still far behind you."
After Zhao Xiaole finished speaking, his attitude won the recognition of the great scholars again.
Who said that the Marquis of Zhenguo is arrogant and domineering?
Isn't that quite polite?
Several people nodded with satisfaction, "The words of the Marquis of Zhenguo are really thought-provoking. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"
Seeing this scene, Heng Hou smiled silently. He knew that the implementation of the New Deal would be unstoppable.
And in the corner where no one was paying attention, spies from all walks of life also relayed the situation of the conference to his master in a timely manner.
