Chapter 521
In front of Tengwang Pavilion, the beggar gang meeting.

After hearing Lao Liu's explanation, a beggar asked loudly: "Then if there is no beggar in the world, my lord, oh no... chief gang leader, why do you still want to be a beggar?"

"That's a good question!" Lao Liu smiled and said, "Because you are the key to realizing the world without beggars, so I want to be your leader!"

"Us? Beggars are the key?" The beggars were at a loss, feeling that Gang Leader Hong still wanted to kill them.

"That's right, it's you guys!" Lao Liu pointed at the crowd and said.

"If we want to realize the ideal of a world without beggars, we have to start from two aspects. On the one hand, we must get the existing beggars out of poverty, and on the other hand, we must prevent ordinary people from becoming beggars because of poverty.

"In order to realize the first point, the leader of this gang is determined to join the beggar gang, give full play to your value, and help you live a good life!" After a pause, he continued:
"As for the second aspect, you can also play a great role, even an irreplaceable role!" After a pause, he proudly said:
"And the leader of this gang can combine these two aspects so that you can help others get rid of poverty and at the same time let yourself live a good life. Do you think it is good?"

"Good!" The Nanchang beggar gang brothers who were in charge of the atmosphere group hurriedly applauded.

"It's good," but there are some beggars who don't think so, saying in a hurry: "But we are all mud that can't be helped, why do we help others?"

"It's more like bringing others to beg for food." Someone said in a strange tone, which caused the beggars to burst into laughter.

"Everyone be quiet! Be serious! It's a meeting!" The gang leaders hurriedly scolded, but they were all completely conquered by the cake drawn by His Highness King Chu... Oh no, the grand blueprint drawn.

In fact, there was no need for Lao Liu to open his mouth. From the first second they saw Shu Laibao wearing that official uniform, their hearts were already in the shape of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

~~
The gang leaders yelled for a while, and the venue was finally quiet.

"Because this king is going to have a meal, I know everyone's psychology very well. Everyone is humble all day long, and their lives are not as good as animals, and they are annoying. It is easy to feel that they are worthless," the sixth child also slowed down. The tone changed, and the faces of the beggars who spoke no longer laughed.

"But my favorite saying is that I am born to be useful! Even a brick or a piece of straw has its own use, let alone us living people?!"

"It's just that you haven't met your Bole! Guide you to know your own abilities, and you will feel that you are worthless!" Lao Liu waved his arms vigorously, and said loudly and firmly:

"Qianlima was born in a farmhouse. If he didn't meet Bole who understands horses, he would only be able to pull a cart for the rest of his life. When he was old, he would be slaughtered for meat! The boss of this gang is the Bole who saved you, understand?!"

"Understood, I dare to ask the Chief Sect Leader, what value are we really worth?" Everyone in the Beggar Clan stopped being cynical and asked questions one after another.

Unknowingly, they have been incited by the sixth child...

Zhu Zhen asked Shu Laibao to speak out, and relayed to the beggars what he said that day about the two major advantages of the beggar gang.

This is more convincing than what he said alone.

~~
In the Pavilion of Prince Teng, the fourth child was actually overwhelmed by the sound.Only then did he come to his senses, and said to Luo Guanzhong: "My sixth son's mouth is so inspiring. If this is in a troubled world, he can easily pull up a team."

"Yes, the students are creating a historical novel, and the protagonist is based on my Highness." Luo Guanzhong nodded.

"Oh? Which dynasty?" Zhu Di was very interested.

"Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty."

"Uncle Liu?"

"No, Prime Minister Cao..."

"Okay." Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and then said again after a while: "After finishing writing, I must show it to the king."

"Okay." Luo Guanzhong nodded, at his own update speed, let's wait until the end of the book.

~~
On the high platform, Shu Laibao introduced to the group of beggars the two professions that are especially suitable for them--wind watcher and propagandist.

When the group of beggars heard this, they all became interested.

"Wind watching is a good job, let's just walk around the streets and do it."

"That's right, even if it's a poor country, we can still go there. No one else is as suitable as us."

Obviously they are very confident in their ability to be watchers, but as for propagandists, they will never mention it.

"The propagandists are also the most suitable for you." The sixth son said loudly: "Those rich families, scholars and gentry are well-informed enough that there is no need to promote them. The people who really need to promote are the rural people, the market people, who you have the most contact with every day. Xiaomin, there are tens of thousands of people from poor backgrounds like you!"

"But we can only talk nonsense, how can we know the real thing?" The beggars said anxiously:

"That's right, there isn't a single literate person in this courtyard, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake to the chief guild master!"

"No, you are wrong. The leader of this gang uses you because you are illiterate!" The sixth child waved his hand and said, "Those scholars who talk about 'Zhizhe Ye' can't do this job."

"Ah?" The beggars were overheard.

The fourth child on the Tengwang Pavilion also smiled wryly, the sixth child's violent comments were one after another!

"The reason is very simple. They can speak well, so why do they say 'Zhihuzheye' and 'Yanzaihuye'?" Zhu Zhen said loudly.

"Let's show that I have knowledge." All the beggars in the audience replied.

"You guys only know one thing and don't know the other thing. Their real purpose is to make the common people not understand!" Zhu Zhen sneered and said:

"If you don't understand, you have no right to speak, and you are not qualified to judge right from wrong. You can only listen to them and let them judge right from wrong for you!"

All the beggars in the audience and the fourth child upstairs were greatly shocked.Zhu Di grabbed Luo Guanzhong's neck violently, shook him vigorously, and said, "Fuck me, I was thinking about this question on the first day of my school - why can't these gangsters speak human language? So it's This makes sense!"

"It's yellow when it shakes, it's yellow when it shakes..." Luo Guanzhong held his glasses up, feeling like he was going to throw up.

~~
"But the scholars are either gentry and big family themselves, or they have sharpened their heads and want to become gentry and big family! How can they speak for the common people?" Zhu Zhen continued loudly:
"The reason is very simple, such as paying taxes. Everyone wants to pay less taxes. But the amount of taxes that the court has to collect is fixed. If the rich pay less taxes, it will eventually fall on the poor. I believe that many of you are bankrupt like this. right?"

"No." The group of beggars nodded one after another.

"Now, the imperial court thinks it's unfair. They want to re-clear the land, so that people with more land pay more taxes, and those with less land pay less tax. But if this is really done, those big families with hundreds of hectares of fertile land will have to pay more taxes all at once. Pay a lot more taxes. And what about the poor who don’t have a few acres of land? The burden is naturally much lighter.” Zhu Zhen said in the most plain language:
"Do you think this is the truth?"

"Yeah." The group of beggars is actually more flexible than ordinary farmers, because they get rid of heavy physical labor, and walk around the streets all day long, contacting more people, so their brains are naturally brighter.

"At this time, those big families will mobilize scholars to try their best to turn black and white and discredit the new policy of the imperial court. They will deceive the common people who are used to listening to them, oppose the imperial court, and oppose the new policy!" Zhu Zhen asked sadly: "You said, the imperial court still Want to rely on scholars to promote? Will it work?"

"There's a fart..." The group of beggars finally understood.
