Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 216 Don't be pushy, tell the truth

"Well, I understand what you mean."

Li Zhi nodded calmly, and said with a smile: "However, this king thinks that the theories of the most holy master are too illusory, and this king still prefers something more real."

"But, these are trails after all!" Kong Yingda said earnestly: "If you don't follow the right path, you choose to follow the crooked path. Your Highness is obsessed with it!"

Hearing this, Li Zhi smiled slightly and said in a playful tone: "The right way and the wrong way are just your family's opinions. It is meaningless for us to argue about these. But since you think you are on the right path, we might as well make a bet. Let’s see if these things I advocate can make Datang a better place. Only time and facts can prove everything. When we look back at all this ten years later, we will know who is on the right path. "

"This……!"

Kong Yingda was stunned, he didn't expect Li Zhi to say that.

Originally, he planned to arouse Li Zhi's anger, and then stand on the commanding heights of morality and confront this King Jin.

But he didn't want Li Zhi to not accept the trick at all, but instead created a trap for him, allowing him to step into it unknowingly.

Anyone with eyes knows that what Li Zhi created is fully capable of changing Datang.

And he came here to prevent Li Zhi from advancing the progress of society.

The so-called "not much use" is just an excuse.

In the end, Li Zhi turned around and made a fuss about the sentence "useless", hitting his weakness in this sentence lightly.

With a light blow, Kong Yingda was seriously injured.

With Li Zhi's phrase "Let's see it later", the point of dispute disappeared.

Even if you want to continue arguing, it is meaningless.

Li Zhi didn't accept the move at all, which made all of Kong Yingda's calculations come to nothing.

The crowd originally remained angry, looking at this debate.

Seeing that Li Zhi always communicated with Kong Yingda with a humble attitude, they also felt that His Royal Highness Jin Wang was weak.

But after a few conversations, I don't know what happened.

Li Zhi kept a calm attitude, but Kong Yingda's face turned red as if he had been punched by someone.

Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help discussing in low voices, guessing the outcome of the debate.

"Who the hell won? His Royal Highness King Jin's aura is obviously so weak. Why does it look like the old man has suffered a big loss?"

"I don't know. Judging from their reactions, it seems that His Highness convinced the old man, right?"

"So, His Highness won? But I'm not relieved at all, I really want to beat that old man up!"

……

In the crowd, apart from the onlookers who didn't know why, there were actually some students who could understand the conversation.

When they heard the discussions of the craftsmen, they couldn't help standing up and explaining one or two things.

"It wasn't His Highness who persuaded Mr. Kong, but His Highness took Mr. Kong's words and blocked his own mouth. Mr. Kong has nothing to say."

"His Royal Highness said that he should speak with facts. Facts are better than eloquence, and eloquence has lost its meaning. His Highness is standing in a higher dimension, blocking all words."

"Actually, everyone knows that His Highness is taking the right path, but for some reason... Alas!"

……

Although the last sentence is not exhaustive, the meaning has been expressed clearly.

It's all about profit.

Sacrifice the interests of the majority for the benefit of a small group of people, this is what Kong Yingda is doing now.

It's just because people who can understand the situation stand on the side of this small group.

So they knew that Kong Yingda was wrong, but they still hoped that Kong Yingda could press Li Zhi to death.

Seeing that Kong Yingda was at a disadvantage in the dispute, they couldn't help but sigh while taking it for granted.

People are so complicated. When positions and reasons conflict, emotions will also split.

Kong Yingda was unable to say a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Li Zhi nodded to him, and tentatively said: "I wonder if Mr. Kong has anything to say? If not, this king will take a step first."

Kong Yingda remained silent. He didn't want to admit defeat, but he couldn't find a way to continue attacking Li Zhi. The atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward.

Seeing this, Li Zhi didn't feel any discomfort, and prepared to leave according to his own pace.

But at this moment, Fang Xuanling, who couldn't see it anymore, finally stood up by himself, standing in Kong Yingda's position and forcing Li Zhi to stay.

"Your Highness, let's go slowly, I have something to say."

Li Zhi stopped and turned his head to take a look.

Seeing that it was Fang Xuanling who came, he was not surprised, but just greeted him calmly: "Mr. Fang, I didn't expect to see you here."

Really did not expect it?

How do I look at it, you seem to have expected all this?
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Zhi with deep eyes.

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness Jin, what you presented really opened our eyes, but did you forget one thing, Your Highness?"

"what's up?"

Li Zhi asked calmly, looking at Fang Xuanling with a little curiosity.

It was like an ordinary chat, nothing special about it.

Seeing his attitude, Fang Xuanling smiled wryly in his heart.

This means you don't take him to heart at all. Is this too calm?
Although he felt powerless in his heart, Fang Xuanling still bite the bullet and continued: "The loading and unloading machine you invented can certainly play an important role in the pier, but it will also cause the sailors in the pier to fall into despair. The dilemma of earning money, originally a box of charcoal, they need to load and unload for three days and three nights, but because of the appearance of the loading and unloading machine, they make less money, don't you think you are cutting off their money?"

Everything has two sides, Fang Xuanling is talking about the disadvantages of the loader.

Excessive efficiency will encroach on the interests of workers, which is also an inevitable phenomenon caused by social development.

Although Fang Xuanling's words were a bit unreasonable, but in the current environment, they can still play a role.

In fact, the artisans on site are also concerned about this issue.

The emergence of machinery is having an impact on traditional industries.

Wouldn't it be bad if more machines appeared and took their jobs?

The disadvantaged situation caused by Kong Yingda changed with Fang Xuanling's words.

More and more people, with concerned eyes, looked at Li Zhi who was on the cusp of the storm.

Seeing their concerned eyes, Li Zhi smiled and said, "I still say the same thing, let's talk about the facts. Since Mr. Fang said that the appearance of the loading and unloading machine will make the sailors lose their jobs, let the sailors speak out."
