Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

"Let me ask you a question first, are you Han Chinese or Vietnamese?"

Xiao Jie smiled lightly and asked his first question.

The people in the audience looked at Xiao Jie silently. They all had a common answer in their hearts, but none of them dared to say it out loud.

Xiao Jie didn't speak, just quietly waiting for the people under the reviewing stage to respond to him.

Finally, a sentence suddenly came from an unknown corner: "We are Yue people, not Han people."

Encouraged by this, the crowd exploded in an instant, and everyone raised their arms and shouted: "We are Yue people, not Han people!"

The atmosphere of the people in the audience was so fanatical, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If someone fanned the flames at this time, it would probably be a riot.

Xiao Jie had a smile on his face, he just calmly looked at the fanatical people in the audience, without any intention of stopping.

After the people in the audience finally calmed down, Xiao Jie nodded emphatically: "That's right, you are all Yue people. Then let me ask you again, these kneeling people on the stage, are they Yue people?"

The people in the audience didn't answer his words, they just looked up at Xiao Jie, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I can answer for you, these people kneeling on the stage are not only Yue people, but also nobles among you Yue people, who occupy the most land in Jiaozhi. Many of you have lived here for generations. I have been farming for them for generations, I am right."

The people in the audience were still silent, but their eyes became more reflective.

Xiao Jie didn't give them time to think, but continued to ask: "Let me ask you again, you worked so hard to cultivate the land of these Cochin nobles, how much rent do they charge you every year?"

All the people in the audience pursed their lips and remained silent. After a long time, an old man with a vicissitudes on his face replied weakly, "About forty to fifty percent."

"No, it's obviously [-]%." A middle-aged man quickly retorted.

"Most of the fields my family cultivates will be received." A Yue woman burst into tears after she finished speaking.

Many people have spoken out about the rent that their families need to pay to these Jiaozhi landlords. Basically, most of the annual harvest of each household has been confiscated.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, Xiao Jie immediately asked a new question: "Let me ask you again, how much tax does the imperial court collect from you every year?"

The people in the audience were silent again. Compared with the rents handed over to the landlords, the taxes to be handed over to the court are really nothing.

Xiao Jie smiled faintly and said loudly: "I am from Luoyang, so I can answer this question for you. The imperial court's tax system in Jiaozhi is only [-] yuan, which is far lower than the rent set by the landlords in Jiaozhi."

"You are from Yue, and those cochin nobles are also from Yue, and my father is Han, so tell me now why my father, the Han, treats you more favorably than those Yue landlords?"

The people in the audience obviously had never thought about this question, and felt that Xiao Jie was a little too forceful, but they didn't know how to refute him.

Xiao Jie continued to be impassioned on the stage: "You Jiaozhi people like to divide people into Yue people and Han people, and regard the Yue people as the same race and the Han people as the enemy, but you don't know that it is precisely these Yue people who are of the same clan as you. land, exploiting your harvests, and harming your families, but in turn telling you that it is the Han people who are persecuting you, enslaving you, and wanting you to rebel against the imperial court.”

"Just talking about this locust plague, I know that many innocent people died in Jiaozhi, so let me ask you, during this locust plague, do these tribesmen on Taiwan show compassion for you, reduce your rent, or open warehouses to help you."

"I know they didn't. They just lied to you and said that it was because of the Han people that they made you Cochin Yue people so difficult, and encouraged you to rebel and go to the court to realize their dream of rebuilding the Dai Viet Kingdom, right?"

The Yue people in the audience bowed their heads and remained silent. Every word Xiao Jie said reached their hearts and hit the depths of their souls.

"You think you are Yue people, so tell me what is the difference between you and the Han people in the Central Plains."

All the people in the audience looked up at Xiao Jie again, their eyes full of confusion.

"Let me tell you, there is no difference between you Yue people and Han people. Everyone is a living person. You need to eat and drink Lazard, and Han people also need to eat and drink Lazard; you love your family, and they love your family; you hate being rich and unkind, and they also Hate for being rich and unkind.”

"What is the enemy in the eyes of the Han people in the Central Plains? They are corrupt officials who extort money, and they are rich and unkind landlords and profiteers. Then tell me, who should be the enemy of your Cochin Yue people?"

"Corrupt officials!"

"Landlord and profiteer!"

The people in the audience couldn't hold back any longer, and they raised their arms and shouted out the cry in their hearts. They no longer looked at the Cochin nobles on the stage with sympathy, but with engraved hatred.

Chen Shan was dumbfounded, the Jiaozhiyue people were notoriously xenophobic, and now His Royal Highness Qi Wang turned his back on him with a few words, and began to hate the same clan and nobles of the same clan.

But he was right when he thought about it. He was born in a family of declining landlords in Jiaozhi, and most of the troubles he suffered were indeed from Yue people of the same clan, not Han officials.

Although Ye Qiu didn't understand Yue's words, he saw the reactions of the common people, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In his heart, he felt so much admiration for Xiao Jie, that His Highness's eloquence was really shocking.

The atmosphere has already been heightened to this point, Xiao Jie finally decided to throw out his trump card, and announced loudly: "I said, I, Xiao Jie, was ordered by my father to come to rescue the people of Jiaozhi, and I will tell you loudly now , how can I save you."

"These people on the stage, they incited the people to rebel and rebelled against the imperial court. Their crimes cannot be punished. In front of you today, I will punish them all on the spot, as a warning to others."

"After these people were enacted and punished, their property and fields came from you by encroaching on and exploiting you. The imperial court didn't want a single cent, and gave it all to you!"

As soon as Xiao Jie's words came out, the people in the audience lost their composure for an instant, and the crowd boiled again.

After all, no matter how much Xiao Jie said, it would be false, but giving them property and fields was a real benefit.

When the Cochin nobles kneeling on the stage heard that Xiao Jie was going to kill them all, they were so frightened that they wept bitterly. They cried and told Xiao Jie that he was willing to give up all his family property and only begged Xiao Jie to spare their lives.

The people in the audience were also anxious when they heard this. These family properties are what the imperial court wants to distribute to them. How can they be used to exchange the lives of these people.

"Your Highness, don't listen to them...None of these people is a good person...Kill them!" A Yue man boldly made a plea to Xiao Jie.

The other Yue people were encouraged and raised their arms and shouted: "Kill them!"
