"Good! Everyone has spoken well! "
The hall on the first floor of the Dragon Gate Inn looked like a modern academic lecture hall. Lin Wenyuan stood in front of the crowd, raised the loudspeaker, and spoke loudly.
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of all people! The Great Tang is not a Great Tang of one person, but a Great Tang of all people! Although we merchants have never been paid by the Imperial Court, we have been able to do business in peace precisely because His Majesty and the Emperor Emeritus established the Great Tang, ending the chaotic era of the Sui and creating a golden age of peace for the people of the realm!
"And now, the Turks harbor wild ambitions against our Great Tang, repeatedly invading our borders. A war is inevitable between the Great Tang and the Turks. Although we merchants normally do not speak of national affairs, if the Great Tang is defeated in this war, the Central Plains will fall into chaos. We will all become slaves of a conquered country, so where will we go to do business?
The common people say that merchants value profit, but Marquis once said to this old man that value profit and righteousness. What matters is the person, not the status. Those who value profit in their bones, no matter what status they have, will place profit above all else, and vice versa.
"Now that the country is in danger, if we don't value righteousness, how can we talk about profit in the future? Today, I have gathered all of you here in the hope that you can place the country's righteousness above all else and contribute money and strength to the Imperial Court to raise military funds so that the Imperial Court can defeat the Turks and bring peace to the Great Tang's borders and its people! "
Lin Wenyuan's speech had come from his heart, and his words were forceful and forceful. Through the loudspeaker, his emotional voice resounded through the hall, and even the common people outside the Dragon Gate Inn could hear him clearly.
At this time, emotional words were often the most touching and infectious. Especially since most of the people present today were businessmen, they could empathize with Lin Wenyuan's words. After Lin Wenyuan's words, those "old foxes" who had been in the business world for a long time and had become sophisticated and sophisticated in the business world could not help but be slightly moved!
They could clearly sense something surging in their bodies: hot blood. Yes, it was hot blood, a blood that many merchants had not felt in a long time. Once upon a time, they had also felt a passion to serve the country, but time had slowly worn it away and obliterated it by the different views of the people of the world. But at this moment, Lin Wenyuan had awakened that hot blood in their bodies!
That's right. It wasn't that businessmen valued profits, but anyone could value profits. This had nothing to do with one's identity. It was all up to them to choose to be righteous. If most of the merchants could choose to be righteous in the face of a national crisis, they might be able to take off the hat of being greedy in the future!
In addition, most of the merchants present had experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Some of them had even heard of the Five Barbarians Rebellion from more than a hundred years ago from the elders of the older generation. They knew that people's lives were like grass in troubled times, let alone doing business. When the common people had problems even surviving, who would go to the merchants to buy things?
Therefore, as soon as Lin Wenyuan finished speaking, the merchants in the hall on the first floor of the inn couldn't help but respond in kind.
"Well said, Boss Lin! It's said that businessmen value profits, so let's do it for the sake of the country and donate military funds to the country! "
"That's right! No matter what, the Imperial Court has to defeat the Turks this time. Otherwise, how will we do business in the future? "
"Boss Lin, hurry up and start! This old man wants to donate 5,000 strings of cash! "
"I want to donate 8,000 strings of cash!"
Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd below, Lin Wenyuan couldn't help but inwardly breathe a sigh of relief. He raised his left hand, indicating for the crowd to quiet down. The merchants in the hall gave him face. After all, he was currently representing Li Zexuan. The hall quickly quieted down. Lin Wenyuan raised the megaphone in his right hand and continued speaking.
"Good! Then the fundraising event will now officially begin! This fundraising event was personally organized by Marquis, but Marquis has important matters to attend to at the moment and is unable to attend in person. He entrusted this old man to preside over this fundraising event! Then this Lin will throw a brick to attract jade. For this fundraising event, the Lin Family is willing to contribute 25,000 strings of cash to assist the Imperial Court! "
