I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 696 What Should I Do To Save You, Silly Girl

Die Wu was completely confused by Li Tian's words.

"Since you said that I shouldn't seek revenge from you, then who should I seek, who is my real enemy!"

Li Tian lowered his head, stared closely at Die Wu's red eyes, and said clearly word by word,
"Your enemies should be those sinners who are chaotic in the world, those who disregard the king's law and wantonly persecute innocent people.

Do you know that your accomplice, the so-called Mr. Liu, wanted to attack me and achieve their goal of cholera.

They set off several fires in the capital, burned down an unknown number of houses, and injured an unknown number of people.

Such people are the ones you should kill, and the ones you should really take revenge on. "

Die Wu argued,
"Impossible, Mr. Liu said before, they just want to burn something that you, a foolish king, competes with the people for the benefit of the people, and it is an action for the well-being of the people of the world."

Li Tian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, tears almost flew out from the corners of his eyes.

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"

"Unexpectedly, you can believe such nonsense?"

"You don't know anything, yet dare to say that all of this is justice?"

"Well, I will explain to you now, what are the places they plan to burn down used for?"

Tiangongyuan is a place where craftsmen from all over the world gather, in order to create more and better new things that can help the people of Ming Dynasty.

From the day of their birth to now, they have invented cement, soap, matches, forging hammers, spinning wheels, briquettes, glass, and so on.

Each of these things can feed countless people, and when they are truly popular in the world, millions or even tens of millions of people in Ming Dynasty will achieve food, clothing and even prosperity because of these things.

The Royal Bank is the place where the wealth of the people in the capital gathers.

People save money here, not only do not charge money, but also receive a lot of interest every month.

Although this interest is not much, it can guarantee that every family can eat a meal of meat every month, and the principal will not be reduced in any way.

The exchange seems to have nothing to do with the common people, but in fact the relationship is closer.

The prices of all commodities in the exchange are the most reasonable prices given after professional analysis.

Through the price trend, not only can the imperial court know what the people lack and what is surplus, so as to mediate among them.

And the common people can know what to plant next year through the trend, so as to ensure that their hard work for a year will not be in vain.

"These three places are exactly the places they set fire to tonight. Do you still think that what they did was just and has a clear conscience!"

Die Wu was completely stunned.

She wanted revenge before, so she didn't pay much attention to this information at all, and she didn't know what Tiangongyuan, what bank, or what the exchange was doing.

Listening to Li Tianyi's explanation at this time, she instantly understood a lot.

Her heart also began to waver,

"Could it be that we were really wrong and wrongly blamed the emperor in front of us. He is actually a good emperor who does everything for the people?"

Although her heart was shaken, she still felt that she could not listen to Li Tian's one-sided words.

"I'm in your hands now, you can say whatever you want, how do I know if what you said is true or not?"

Li Tian didn't expect that Die Wu was still insisting at this time.

It's just that her tone is not as strict as before.

He knew it was a good time to strike while the iron was hot.

So with a big wave of his hand, he called in several soldiers, as well as a few ordinary people who were wandering in the street and were captured.

Li Tian first said to the soldiers,

"Has any of you ever deposited money in the Royal Bank?"

Those soldiers were a little confused. They didn't know why His Majesty asked such a question, but they replied honestly,

"Reporting to Your Majesty, not only us, but also many officers are still saving money in the bank."

Li Tian continued to ask,
"Then why do you go to the bank to save money, why don't you keep it yourself!"

The soldier scratched his head in embarrassment and said,
"In the beginning, the villain didn't really want to put the money he had worked so hard to transfer into the bank.

But later I heard people say that as long as you deposit a tael of silver, you can earn dozens of cash in interest every month. This money is enough for our family to eat a big meal every month, and there is some left over.

After confirming that I could really get the interest every month, I deposited all the ten taels of silver that my family had saved over the years. Now the interest alone is several hundred cash every month, which is equivalent to half a villain. monthly salary,

This money plus the villain's monthly salary will make the life of the villain's family so many times better. In the past, I couldn't eat meat for a while, and I bought new clothes for half a year. Now I have money to buy It's..."

His eloquent words made not only the soldiers on the side nodding, but even Die Wu began to believe his words.

And Li Tian pointed to the unlucky commoner and said,

"Do you have family, or know someone who works in a soap factory?"

One of the old people was a little scared, but also a little proud and took a step forward and said,
"Little old man's third son is fortunate to be a worker in the workshop!"

Li Tian continued to ask with a smile,

"Then why don't you tell everyone how this workshop is?"

The old man seemed to regain his energy all of a sudden, he straightened his somewhat hunched body and said,
"The workshop is really a good place. Not only does my son get a tael and a half of silver every month, but the workshop also serves lunch every day. I heard that every meal has meat, which is better than what we eat at home. "

Before the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man next to him hurriedly said,

"The benefits of the workshop are more than these. I heard that the workshop will give benefits to the workers from time to time, and everyone will have generous gifts on holidays.

And as long as they do a good job, there will be bonuses. I heard from my neighbors that their team won some monthly production champions, and the workshop gave them a bonus of two taels of silver!
That's two taels of silver, enough for a family of five for two or three months.

I'm just miserable, I went a few days late, and everyone has finished recruiting, otherwise I will go in no matter what! "

Then the old man continued,
"Since my son entered the workshop, the door-to-door marriage proposals have almost leveled the threshold of my family. Before, because my family was poor, no one was willing to marry their daughter to my family, but now, my son is just random. "

Old man, I came home from a drink at my new in-laws’ home tonight. I walked slowly on the road. I missed Jingjiegu and was brought here. My lord, old man, I am wronged. The old man is really not a villain! "
