Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 516 Lu Xiangsheng, pay back the money
After hearing Li Deming's words, Lu Xiangsheng fell silent, his eyes lost his focus, he stood there for a while, then sat down and said: "Da Ming has been a guardian for two hundred years, someone should be buried with him, someone should be buried with him."

"Then why is this person you!"

Li Deming asked again the words of condemnation. After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng looked up at Li Deming and said, "Why can't it be me? Don't you think it should be me?"

Li Deming said: "You already have the idea of ​​dying for your country, but you can't be the only one who died for your country in Nuo Da Ming. If you are the only one who died for your country, this Ming should die, and no one can stop you."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Deming in a daze, and asked for a long time, "What do you mean?"

Li Deming laughed and said: "Master Lu, are you afraid, afraid that you are really the only one left willing to die for him?"

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Why is it that I am the only one willing to die for him in Daming? If Daming were to perish, there would be as many people buried as a cow's hair. Daming, Daming, he didn't die. There were not even burials, the Song Dynasty was so unbearable, and there were 10 soldiers and civilians who jumped into the sea to be buried in the Battle of Yashan, didn't we have [-] people in Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, Li Deming laughed. At this time, he was not in a hurry to argue, but sat down slowly, poured himself a glass of wine, took a bite of chili fried meat and said, "Master Lu, what you say, you Do you believe it yourself?"

"The current Daming really cares about how many people, His Majesty cares, so although he is not capable, there are still people who are willing to serve him. Old General Sun Chengzong cares, so he fought in Gaoyang and his whole family was buried. You Lu Xiangsheng cares and is willing to be there Who else would die so uselessly in prison, besides you? Who else cares about this Daming."

"And Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou, and..."

After Lu Xiangsheng said these two names, he was silent. He suddenly found that apart from these two people, he couldn't find anyone in the court who was willing to be buried for the Nuo Dynasty. Lu Xiangsheng's eyes widened. Li Deming smiled and said: "Zhou Yanru, Yang Sichang, Chen Yan, Wei Zaode haha... Will these unrepentant princes of the imperial court die for Ming Dynasty?"

"No, they won't. If the Ming Dynasty is ruined, they will definitely be the first to surrender. It's just a change of master. Whether it's a rogue who will ascend the throne in the future, or my county venerable, or even a slave from outside the pass. , They will surrender immediately, this is Daming's loyal minister, this is the Daming that you, Lu Xiangsheng, are desperately trying to protect."

"The king regards the people as worthless. The reason why he persists is that he is afraid of hurting his ancestors and leaving his ancestors' foundation on his own post. Our emperor loves his people and treats his status as a conflict with his people. Will he care about his people when the time comes? Haven't you tried it?"

"He won't, and the ministers in this court, do they love the people under their rule? No, they don't, they treat the people like pigs and dogs, they just want to squeeze oil and water from the people, and then satisfy their desires. "

"Such a king, such a minister, what is there for you, Lu Xiangsheng, to miss, what use is it for you to protect such a great Ming!"

"Enough, enough!"

After hearing Li Deming's words, Lu Xiangsheng yelled loudly, he didn't want to listen anymore, he didn't want to listen anymore.

"Enough, don't talk about it, even if you talk about the hype today, even if you talk about the golden lotus in the ground, I won't hear it, and I won't escape from this death row. I don't care what others do, I will To be buried for Ming Dynasty."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a lonely expression that this was his last insistence as a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Lu Xiangsheng picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, looking at Lu Xiangsheng who was drinking.

Li Deming's expression became subtle. He watched Lu Xiangsheng drink it all in one gulp, and said, "Lu Xiangsheng."

"Ok?"

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned, what's going on, this change of face was too fast, just now he took a mouthful of Master Lu, now he became Lu Xiangsheng in the blink of an eye, and the tone of his speech was very draggy.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Deming and didn't understand, so at this time Li Deming looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "I'm surprised, it's okay, don't pretend, I have a showdown, I didn't come to save you."

"Ok?"

Lu Xiangsheng was even more confused. If you don’t come to save me, you’ve been talking so much about it just now. At this moment, Li Deming pulled out a piece of paper with a smile and said, “Lu Xiangsheng, I’m not as an official in Lantian, let alone I talked to you as an acquaintance you have met twice, and now I am talking to you as a creditor and creditor of Lantian."

"About half a month ago, you, Lu Xiangsheng, borrowed [-] catties of gunpowder and [-] hand grenades from the people of Lantian County as a lender. These materials were all made with the hard-earned money of the people in Lantian. The common people will suffer huge losses, isn’t it you, Lu Xiangsheng, who love the people like a son? You won’t borrow money from the common people and not repay it, will you?”

Li Deming looked at Lu Xiangsheng playfully, and Lu Xiangsheng said, "I, I borrowed it from Li Chaosheng."

Li Deming smiled: "I'm sorry, Lu Xiangsheng is the borrower. Our county honor is an individual subject. His monthly salary is 100 taels, and he has to pay for his own family expenses. How can I lend you the money to produce these materials? It is the Lantian Bank that the county lord contacted through the relationship. The bank is equivalent to a bank, which is filled with money from ordinary people. The bank lends money to the military factory, and the military factory is processing this batch of materials for you. The accounts of the common people are deducted, if you don’t pay back the money, it’s a bad debt, and those unlucky ordinary people who pay the money will have to bear the loss.”

"The people in Lantian have just lived a life full of food, and they just have a little spare money in the bank. Now I let you borrow it. Maybe the money will be used to buy medicine for his seriously ill old mother. Now I want to pay you If it is borrowed and not returned, then the poor old mother may die because she has no money to buy medicine."

"This account is recorded on you."

"The money may also be used to buy nutrition for the newborn child. This time, you borrowed it, but you still don't pay it back. The child has no nutrition, causes malnutrition, and eventually dies, and it will also be counted on you."

"It's also possible that this is the money that the young man from Lantian wants to marry a wife. This young man may also be a single heir to his family for eight generations. Without your money as a bride price, if he can't marry a wife, their family's incense will be cut off. Then you can use it." He has become a sinner through the ages."

"Lu Xiangsheng, I beg you to do a good job. Pity our innocent people in Lantian. They also borrowed money to support your construction. Now it's alright. Your death will fulfill your eternal wisdom, but a bunch of ordinary people in Lantian But you are out of luck, what is the difference between you and those corrupt officials who entrap the people and satisfy their own desires."

"It's just that people are greedy for material comforts, and you, Lu Xiangsheng, are greedy for the enjoyment of fame. Lu Xiangsheng, ask yourself, are you guilty, and pay back the money quickly."

Li Deming's attitude is extremely bad, the county lord said, some people are shameless, the more vicious you are, the less guilt he has in his heart, so when asking for money, don't care whether he is Lu Xiangsheng or who else, Be as bad as possible, just like the one who wants to pay and the one who is asked to pay.

"Lu Xiangsheng, pay back the money."

Li Deming's attitude was extremely domineering, and he reached out to ask for money. Lu Xiangsheng said, "How much?"

After hearing this, Li Deming said: "Let me do the math for you. The market price of Lantian gunpowder is twelve cents per catty, but this is the purchase price in our Lantian. If it is sold on the battlefield, you have to pay more. One tael, 1 jin is [-] taels."

"There are still 2000 grenades. If you buy a large quantity of this thing, I will give you a discount. Let's count it as four taels of silver. Three thousand grenades are 2000 taels. If you add them together, you will get [-] taels. No change will be given. You wiped it, and it’s a small business, please forgive me.”

After saying this, Li Deming stretched out his hand and said to Lu Xiangsheng with a smile: "Master Lu, the total is 2 taels, thank you."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a dark face when he heard the words: "I still have land in my hometown, my mother and brother also have an old house, and some land, which can be deducted partly."

"Sorry, these old houses, the land property is gone. The old man heard that you were arrested and sentenced to beheading. He was very anxious, so he found us and sold your old house, land property and so on. We didn’t embezzle the money we exchanged. Isn’t it all related? The old lady said that as long as people come out, the money is nothing. Now the old lady has been taken to Lantian by us. There is an idle room in our county The yard is not in use, so it is given to the old man, and now the old man is still spinning every day to save money for you to pay off the debt."

"If you really don't pay back the money, we will have to ask the old man for money for the sake of not allowing the people in Lantian to suffer losses. Think about it, the old lady is almost seventy this year, and she has to spin yarn every day to pay back the money. , Tired, raising a son to guard against old age, but thinking about getting old and having to pay back the money to the son, oh, what a pity."

"you……"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned his head and glared at Li Deming angrily. Li Deming looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "What's wrong, you don't believe me, your old housekeeper, Lu Fu, is still waiting outside. Your old housekeeper is shrewd, and he is afraid that we won't do things with money. , I have been guarding at the gate of the sky prison for seven or eight days, and I don’t even move a place. If the money was not in place, Jin Yiwei would have arrested him a long time ago, and thought he was going to rob the prison.”

Lu Xiangsheng's face turned blue and red after hearing this, looked at Li Deming and said: "You are so despicable."

After hearing this, Li Deming said: "There is no way, we are taking the hard-earned money of the common people, and we cannot let them suffer losses. Master Lu, you just want to be a hero, so please return the hard-earned money of the common people and go on the road. It’s more than 2 silver dollars, don’t you think so?”

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said with a dark face: "How can I pay back the money?"

Li Deming laughed when he heard this: "Hey, that's right. You see, you have the attitude of paying back the money now. Our county lord said that if you Lu Xiangsheng wants to pay back the money, you can do business. I will provide you with 100 yuan. Two principals, but you are too honest to do business, and the principal will be lost by then."

"If you don't want to be a staff member of Lantian County, and provide some advice and help to the county lord, the monthly salary is about tens of taels. Of course, our county lord said that you, Lu Xiangsheng, are not quick-witted, but you should focus on being stable and character-wise. "

"So our county lord said that he didn't know what kind of position he would send you for a while. I hope you can judge according to your own ability and submit an application for entry. Our county lord will enter the job according to your position. Apply, I will give you an approved salary, but Master Lu, don’t worry, our Lantian officials are paid very well, you will pay back the [-] silver dollars in ten or eight years, and the money is gone, are you willing to commit suicide and die for the country, or what? It's up to you, our county lord has said, don't interfere."

Li Deming looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile and said, "Master Lu, you can express your opinion now, are you willing or not?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Deming and narrowed his eyes and said: "It is only today that Lu knows that a penny is hard for a hero. If I knew this, Lu might as well be a corrupt official and pay back your money. I won't be so useless like you. !"

"Hahaha...Master Lu, if you are a corrupt official, we won't ask you for money, but unfortunately you are not. What's the matter, let's leave after drinking, or should we leave now?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Deming and shook his head helplessly, and said, "I really can't imagine how the secretary Li Chaosheng chose would be such a hooligan ashes, that's enough, pour the wine, finish this pot, I, give You go to Lantian as long-term workers."

"Success, let's make an agreement, without regrets."

Li Deming's eyes lit up, the mission was completed, Lu Xiangsheng smiled wryly at this moment: "My old lady told you to abduct them to Lantian, if I insist on seeking death, my old lady will really pay your debts until I die?"

Hearing this, Li Deming didn't say a word. He knew that Lu Xiangsheng's mentality had changed at this time, and he had to continue to step down for him. Otherwise, he would tell him directly. Force the old lady to pay back the money by spinning?

And the money from the bank is fine. Although the money is a bad debt, the county lord will find a way to settle it, and it won't let the common people suffer. In fact, those words just now are all to bluff you. You can rest assured now, absolutely nothing. question.

Then, aren't you using your words to run on Lu Xiangsheng and commit suicide?

Lu Xiangsheng is a shameless person, how can he not know that Li Deming is acting with him here?If he was really ashamed, it would be impossible for him to be pulled back by Li Deming's words.

The real reason why Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to die was that Lu Xiangsheng was not reconciled. He could die, but he wanted to see the future of Daming. He could die, but those who couldn't die were worthless.

He wants to live, he wants to see if the future described to him by Li Chaosheng will come true, he wants to live, to see if Li Chaosheng is the person who can bring happiness to the people in the future.

He wants to see the people live a happy life, he wants to see all the people in Daming live a happy life like a blue field.

He didn't want to die because he saw a new hope from Lantian. There is only one reason for people to let go of despair and refuse to die, and that is hope!
