The Ming Dynasty talker in the box

Chapter 34: Are you trying to deal with your face?
"Brother Li, I am familiar with the classics and history. Although I don't know it by heart, it is not far behind."

"But I have never read about the Farmers' Association you just mentioned, let alone anyone who has implemented it." A scholar-looking man asked in the audience with his hands raised.

"That's because you're obsessive about your studies!" Li Hengqu rolled his eyes at the scholar.

"You...I just have a reasonable question, why are you insulting others." The scholar said angrily, rolling his sleeves.

Li Hengqu stared at the scholar: "Which emperor do you think would allow such an organization to exist?"

"Even the most stupid emperor can see that the Peasants' Association is trying to peel off his skin and stretch his muscles. Once it spreads, his rule will fall apart soon."

The scholar immediately followed:

"According to what you say, how can this agricultural cooperative survive? Neither we, the Ming Dynasty, nor the Chuang Army, nor even the Manchu regime would allow the existence of the agricultural cooperative."

"Everything you said is nonsense!"

After the scholar finished speaking his point of view, the people below couldn't help but frown.

They can think of what a wonderful thing the Agricultural Cooperative is, but they can also think of the emperor's anger and disgust towards the Agricultural Cooperative. Brother Li's idea seems to be too whimsical.

"So you need to build your own armed forces!" Li Hengqu's voice rang in everyone's ears.

He looked at everyone's eyes asking for answers and continued:

"The Agricultural Association will abolish all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but you will still be required to pay part of the taxes."

"Part of these taxes will be used to organize armed forces, and these armed forces are the cornerstone of maintaining the agricultural cooperatives!"

Everyone in the audience showed expressions of sudden realization.

Yes, we support the country's army. Now this money does not need to be turned over to the country. We can use it to support our own army!

This is the truth, this is the truth. Why haven't we thought of this before?

But the scholar heard the problem.

"How can our little armed force withstand the attack of a large army?"

Li Hengqu knew that someone would ask this question.

"Yes, the armed forces of your villages are definitely not enough. What about a county, a prefecture, a province, or a country?"

"You taste, fine taste!"

This... what a magnificent picture this must be...

"But, how can you be sure that people in other places will follow our example?" The scholar discovered the problem again.

Li Hengqu looked at Long Jiu:
"What would you do if it were you?"

"Ah? If I were me, I would train publicity talents in the Agricultural Cooperative, and then preach the model of the Agricultural Cooperative everywhere. I think anyone who is not a fool can understand the benefits of the Agricultural Cooperative."

"Once other places follow our model, they will spontaneously preach it, and then one will be born with two, two will beget three, and three will beget all things."

"I think if this continues, it won't be long before the nationwide agricultural cooperatives will organize a large-scale armed force."

"And this armed force is fighting for itself and its family. In terms of morale, it is already invincible." Li Hengqu took over Long Jiu's words:

"So, are you willing to do this?"

"Me? But, if I do this, I will become the gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty." Long Jiu retreated continuously.

"What if the Agricultural Cooperatives are affiliated to Erming? All agricultural cooperatives across the country will be subordinate organizations of Erming Company?"

Long Jiu felt goosebumps all over his body and thought to himself: "It turns out that Brother Li has already started to help me build Erming Company."

Li Hengqu did not let Long Jiu give an answer immediately. After all, letting Long Jiu change Daming's life was indeed a cruel act. She had to give her some time to digest it.

"Do you have any other questions?" Li Hengqu asked everyone.

"Brother Li, can I ask you a personal question?" the black-faced man asked timidly.

"Ask!" "What is your relationship with the God of the Beginning?"

This question suddenly touched everyone's mind. Not only the farmers wanted to know, but even the monks and the eldest son wanted to know, because Master Yi seemed to be too cooperative with Li Hengqu.

Long Jiu also pricked up his ears.

Li Hengqu knew that no matter how much he said before, it would not be as important as Master Yishi in their hearts.

Therefore, if they were made to think that the adults also supported them in establishing the Agricultural Cooperative Association, this group of people would eliminate all their worries.

"I am Lord Yishi walking in the world. Now that I encounter such injustice, I can't help but take action. Lord Yishi also supports it."

After listening to Li Hengqu's words, Long Jiu was thoughtful, and everyone finally let go of their worries and started to admire him sincerely.

"Oh, by the way, this is Lord Yishi's envoy." Li Hengqu pointed at Long Jiu and said.

"If Long Jiu wants to lead the agricultural cooperative in the future, she must establish prestige and identity."

After the black-faced man knew the identities of the two people, he knelt down with a plop.

"Master Walking, Master Messenger, I beg you to protect us and our people for a long time."

Everyone also reacted, and they all knelt down and begged for protection together.

Seeing the spectacular scene of thousands of people kneeling in front of them, the monk Da Wa and the others standing next to them suddenly felt frightened.

They had never seen such a scene before. In the end, they couldn't stand the oppression and simply knelt down together.

Long Jiu was quite stable in this kind of scene, after all, his identity was there.

Li Hengqu's mood was a little heavy. He originally came to trouble Wu Sangui, and it was also a favor to attack Gaojiabao.

As for proposing the Agricultural Cooperative Association, it was more of a ploy. He had not made up his mind to do it at all.

But these two thousand people had completely trusted him and put their hopes in him, which made him realize that the matter was serious.

If we don't do it seriously, we are making fun of the lives of thousands of people and their relatives.

The first fire that ignited the Ming Dynasty starts from here!

"If you implement the Agricultural Cooperative Association to the letter, it will be the greatest protection for yourself!" Li Hengqu said in a rare serious tone.

"Brother Li, I have thought about it, and I am willing to help the common people build agricultural cooperatives." Long Jiu's tone was equally serious.

"it is good!"

"Ok!"

The moment the two made this decision, no one noticed that on the screen of the box, the black area southeast of Gaojiabao suddenly lit up for more than ten miles.

Li Hengqu had already unknowingly lit up the first area.

"From now on, you must obey the instructions of the divine messengers in all matters related to the Agricultural Cooperative."

"Yes, Lord Walking, we will absolutely obey the orders of Lord Envoy of God."

"Okay, since you don't have any objections, let's talk about how to deal with the Gao family."

"What's there to discuss? Just kill him."

"Yes! These scourges must be killed!"

"Kill them to avenge us!"

Everyone's emotions became excited again.

Li Hengqu raised his right hand, and when everyone below calmed down, he sighed quietly:
"Hey, you really can't kill me now!"
