C172 Unparalleled Mr. Xiao in Righteousness and Righteousness (1/2)
Xiao Letian was very angry, and the rest of the employees under Xiao Letian were even more furious. Everyone could not understand, although we have money, we did not get it from the wind, why should we give it to you for free? What's more, he was asking for it with this kind of moral kidnapping.
Moral kidnapping, this was a move that gave Xiao Letian a huge headache. It was a fighting method that was very difficult to decipher. You are richer than I am, and I am more pitiful, so you have a duty to help me. Yes, if you are not wrong, then you are obligated. Sometimes, Chinese people have no reason to hate each other. Just saying that you are richer than me is already a big deal.
It was as if the villagers' thoughts had already fallen into this strange circle. We have met with misfortune, we are very pitiful, and you, Xiao Letian, have money and status, so you have the duty to save us, to ask you for fifty thousand gold for the temple's construction is truly reasonable.
If you don't, then don't blame us for moral kidnapping. You'll be rich, ruthless, cold-hearted... And so on and so forth. Not only do you have these big hats, the bureaucracy that represents the Gui Chen can use this as an excuse to take care of you, and eventually squeeze out all your money.
In the history of China, many wealthy people had been kidnapped and killed by this kind of morality. Moreover, if they were to die, they would suffer an eternal curse. It was impossible for them to turn the situation around.
The reason why capitalism can't grow in China and why it will always be killed in the middle of the road has a lot to do with this kind of mentality. Under the control of this thought, money became the original sin, and whoever had more money would become the crime. Since this was the case, the merchants who had made a lot of money from business and handicrafts chose to compromise with the tradition and surrender.
Large amounts of capital were spent on land mergers and acquisitions, and merchants who had made some small money bought land with all their might. Not only that, but the money that couldn't be bought would be turned into gold and silver, sealed in jars and sleeping in the dark underground, forever losing its function as a currency.
Everyone was afraid of Lu Fu, they only dared to take part of the money to maintain their own businesses. The whole of China's business community would always adopt the most primitive survival style of the Middle Age. You want capitalism to sprout in this soil? If one gathered even a little bit of capital, it would attract the attention of the huge bureaucratic class, and then, they would swallow it all in one go.
Why can't China form a huge maritime trade? Why can't we industrialize and modernize the country like the Netherlands and Japan? The reason for this is the greed of the bureaucratic blocs.
The amount of funds needed to carry out the Ocean trade and industrialization could be described as a huge amount. With such a large amount of capital, it was impossible to escape the eyes of rotten bureaucrats. Their greedy mouths would wipe them clean at the first possible moment, and in the end, they would even frame you with all sorts of crimes.
This was the principle of the bureaucrats. This was how the thousands of years of feudal dynasty passed by.
He looked at the black mass of people on the street and coldly said, ”Don't be so shameless. When you guys didn't know that your land and water had been destroyed, even if I wanted to beat you to death, you guys didn't want to sell your land to me. All of you even fought with your lives, but what about now?”
”Now that you realize that the Feng Shui of the land has been broken, and your land has become a dead land, and you're thinking of me, and you want to sell this land to me, do you want me to pay a high price? All the cheapness in the world is yours? Is it all because of you guys? ”
”Let me talk about this temple again. Now that you are afraid, you want to build a temple to protect everyone.” I, Xiao Letian will definitely not stop you guys, but what are you guys doing here to force your way into the palace? That temple didn't even protect me, so why should I spend money? ”
Tie Toutuo wanted to speak up to stop him, but Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop him, ”I know what you guys want to say, but didn't you guys say that I was going to expropriate the land to get the Industrial Zones? That is why I have the duty to build a temple for all of you. Do you think this little bit of land is enough to make me, Xiao Letian, miserable? can you blackmail me? ”
”All of you are dreaming!” Xiao Letian used an unprecedented strict tone to berate the people downstairs, ”You bunch of short-sighted people, do you know what I have been researching these past few days? ”What I have studied is how to avoid your rotten crops. I have even told you that I already have a completely new plan …”
”You don't need the land in your hands, I can still cook this Industrial Zones up, you think you can't even use the coastal saline soil? At most, I will just be separated into countless smaller districts, and end up as one big district together … ”
At this point, the streets exploded with noise. The citizens of the three villages were all scared silly. They suddenly realized that the things that they had previously relied on all collapsed in an instant.
is already considering to give up on the land in your hands, at most he will just change the design, in any case there are many foreign designers like Mike who are helping Xiao Letian with the work now, Xiao Letian really does not care about the threats from the villagers.
This time, the villagers could not take it anymore, and started jumping around, making a ruckus, ”How can this be?” How can you go back on your word? A few days ago, they said that they wanted to buy our land, but now, they don't want it anymore. What should we do? ”
”That's right, mister, you can't go back on your word. How can the agreed upon thing not count? Wuu …”
Xiao Letian jumped up high on the chair in anger. ”What did you say? I'm not trusting! All of you are simply shameless... When did I tell you? When did you make a deal with me to sell the land? You never agreed to sell me the land, did you? ”How did I become a bad guy …”
”There's a god in the top three feet of your head. You have to be kind when you speak!” I'll ask you guys today, when did you promise to sell the land to me? If you don't sell it to me, won't I change the blueprints? ”Can't you all be more reasonable …”
Many of the people in the Tanggu City, as well as those without land, nodded their heads and said, ”That's right, did not do anything wrong, you did not sell the land, and did not allow him to change his plans, this is truly unreasonable …”
