Chapter 288 [Four Counties Merchants, Borrowing Money Night Banquet] Four
Mu Linfeng listened to what others said, smiled slightly, and said: "This is a matter of integrity..."
Mu Linfeng stood up and said to everyone: "Am I, Mu Linfeng, such a dishonest person in the eyes of everyone?"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they heard this, and then they raised their hands and said, "I don't dare, I don't mean this!"
Mu Linfeng smiled coldly, and then said: "I don't think so. Yes, you all don't know Mu. It's very likely that we met you just once today. But merchants in Yangzhou, you should know who Mu is. Is Mu a good person?"
Are you an honest person?"
Among the people present, many merchants from Yangzhou began to murmur, and then they stood up and said to Mu Linfeng: "Mu Shuai, this is not what I mean..."
Someone among them said: "Yes, Mu Shuai, according to what you said before, you are not planning to be the emperor, but after the world is peaceful in the future, there must be an emperor. Since Mu Shuai doesn't do it, then you must be
If someone does it, I'm afraid that the one who sits on the throne in the future may not have the integrity of Mu Shuai!"
After hearing this, everyone agreed: "Yes! It's not that I don't believe in Mu Shuai, but I'm just afraid that these policies will change in the future. If Mu Shuai doesn't become the emperor, will the authorities continue Mu Shuai's policies?"
, little people are not sure!"
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. He originally said that he was not the emperor because he wanted to stabilize everyone. He didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns. Mu Linfeng really didn't think clearly.
Although Mu Linfeng wanted to replace the current imperial succession system with a constitutional monarchy, after all, people in this era were too pedantic in their thinking, and it was not easy to get rid of the monarchy succession system that had existed for thousands of years.
Mu Linfeng's idea is that he will first use the authority of the emperor to act. When the world is truly unified, as long as he does not become the emperor, then who else can be the emperor. Even if he uses a so-called emperor, it is just a show.
The only one who can do things is the cabinet, and the cabinet must be changed every five years to completely remove and ban the one-spoken government.
But these are just Mu Linfeng's ideas at the moment. It will take a long time to implement them, and Mu Linfeng also knows the shortcomings of the constitutional monarchy. But in this era, if the existence of the monarch is directly eliminated, that would be the biggest
Disadvantage, you let the monarch who has believed in it for thousands of years suddenly disappear. The nobles will not agree, the nobles will not compromise, and even the common people will not agree. In this era, the monarch is their belief.
The reason why China does not have its own religion is because the Chinese people have not believed in ghosts and gods since the Western Zhou Dynasty, and have begun to believe in people - saints. The issue of belief is difficult to explain. In the backward era of the past, everyone must have a
Belief, that is, spiritual sustenance, foreigners believe in God, God, Buddha... Chinese people only believe in people, which is the main reason why China does not have its own religion.
Since Chinese people all believe in people, and among the people who believe there is a monarch, if the monarch is banned all of a sudden, it will deprive people of their right to believe, and the common people will naturally not agree.
As for why the monarchy could be directly abolished at the end of the Qing Dynasty, instead of adopting a constitutional monarchy, it was directly transformed into a presidential system. That is due to the reasons of other times. The Chinese people, who have suffered hundreds of years of humiliation from foreigners, are now being ravaged by foreigners.
At the same time, I also got a lot of information from abroad, and I was able to realize the dangers of the monarch myself without anyone reminding me.
However, the era of the late Ming Dynasty was different from that of the late Qing Dynasty. This era was still an era of internal fighting. No one would come to make them understand the harm of the monarchy. And these people can only truly understand these truths after they have been ravaged.
Mu Linfeng looked at everyone and knew that he was facing another problem at this moment, a long-term problem that was far away from today's theme, and it was also a problem that he could not avoid.
Mu Linfeng had once said this question in front of people. Li Xin and Hong'er were the listeners. Now that he brought it up again, these businessmen reacted like this, which was indeed a bit beyond Mu Linfeng's expectations.
Unexpected.
After Mu Linfeng pondered for a long time, he waved his hand and said to everyone: "You can rest assured about this issue, and this issue is not our main issue today, but what Mu can guarantee is that as long as I, Mu Linfeng, are around, these policies will
It won’t change…”
Everyone murmured and discussed, still doubting Mu Linfeng's words.
Mu Linfeng said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please be quiet... In fact, everyone here does not need to worry about this. If all Mu's reforms are really brought to everyone... naturally, everyone including you businessmen will be brought.
Benefits, then Mu believes that latecomers will never overturn these policies easily. If latecomers insist on overturning these policies, the people will not agree.
, everyone here will not agree. If he wants to overthrow, he will overthrow himself... Of course, if these policies are seriously overturned easily, then it can only explain one problem, that is, the reforms implemented by Mu did not provide medical treatment.
It brings benefits, stability, and happiness to the people of the world... Then it is natural to overthrow it, and it is a matter of course..."
As Mu Linfeng spoke, he looked at everyone's expressions and then continued: "Any truth can stand the test of time. Everyone here is in the counties under my jurisdiction, Mu Linfeng. As for these days,
Come on, whether the series of reform measures carried out by Mu in the four counties are beneficial to the people or whether they are depriving the people of their interests, the eyes of the people are sharp. They... naturally including you, will have a strong balance in their hearts.
measure……"
Mu Linfeng pondered for a while and then continued: "So Mu Quan, you don't need to worry unnecessarily about these things that are out of reach and unrealistic in the future. What we have to do is to do a good job now and prepare for our future."
For the sake of future generations, as long as we have a clear conscience, then we are worthy of our children.
The grandchildren are here, and I, Mu Linfeng, today, including everything I did before today... Naturally, I, Mu Linfeng, am limited in my ability and strength, and I will definitely do something short of it, but I, Mu Linfeng, can say loudly,
Everything I, Mu Linfeng, do is for the sake of the people, and I have no regrets..."
When everyone heard this, they stood up and started to applaud: "Mu Shuai, what you said is good, we believe you!"
Mu Linfeng looked at everyone's performance and said in his heart: "This is the effect we want!" But he said: "Thank you everyone!"
Mu Linfeng said, and after hurriedly waving for everyone to sit down, he turned to Shopkeeper Xiao and said, "Shopkeeper Xiao, do you have any objections at this moment?"
Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Xiao waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no, Mu Shuai is absolutely right! Read novels all the way, mobile site ap.16k.n"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said to everyone: "Shopkeeper Xiao has no objections, so do everyone here have any objections to this?"
After hearing this, everyone immediately responded: "I have no objections, villain!"
Mu Linfeng immediately patted the table and said with a smile: "Okay, as the saying goes, only when we work together can great things be achieved. If you can help me, Mu Linfeng, when I am in the most difficult time, Mu Linfeng will naturally not forget your kindness in the future..."
As he spoke, Mu Linfeng filled the wine glass with wine, picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said, "Mu, I would like to thank you all for this. Let's do it first as a token of respect!" He drank the wine in one gulp.
Everyone stood up one after another, picked up their wine glasses, and greeted Mu Linfeng in return.
Mu Linfeng quickly waved his hand to everyone to sit down, and then he sat down. As soon as he sat down, he said to everyone: "Okay, since you all have no objections to Mu's suggestion, let me ask you to make an offer. As the saying goes, price
The higher one gets it. Let’s not say how much money Mu received. As the saying goes, the more the merrier. What Mu can guarantee, what he takes from you today will definitely be returned to you in double or even multiple times in the future...
"
Before Mu Linfeng finished speaking, someone immediately heard someone say: "I don't have much money. Compared with all the big shopkeepers here, I'm just a seller of longevity wood. But I still responded to Mu Shuai's call, and I want to make a name for myself."
Of course, the villain's business is to make money. Naturally, I hope that under Mu Shuai's wise leadership, the villain will gradually lose his business until the villain goes bankrupt and closes down. This will be the greatest blessing in the world. Xiao Ren
A person pays 20,000 taels..."
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this and said: "What the shopkeeper said makes sense. Although you are doing business with dead people, you are doing business with benevolence and righteousness. I, Mu Linfeng, have taken note of you. In the future, the world will be peaceful. When you have no business, just come and find me."
I, Mu Linfeng, even if you only know how to make coffins, I, Mu Linfeng, will not stand by and watch, I will definitely help you make a comeback... But of course I need to change my business, and I can no longer do this longevity wood business..."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter. Mu Linfeng said to Su Duxiu on the side: "Mr. Su, please write down the name of this shopkeeper..."
Everyone laughed and applauded, and then started bidding.
