I am Li Bin, the top risk control director of Daming Group. To say I amassed 300 million taels of silver is a scourge to the country and its people? Why not say I'm running a hedge fund like an emperor? Answer me! Are you laughing at my system of pardons and ransoms as a way to fleece people? If we didn't fleece them, who would fill the bills for Jiajing's alchemy? While corrupt Confucian officials were clamoring in the Fengtian Hall that the ancestral laws could not be changed, Lao Tzu had already used the foreign trade orders from the Maritime Trade Offices of Ning, Quan, and Guang prefectures to inject funds into the national treasury. Those who accuse me of being greedy, have you ever checked the secret archives of the Qianqing Palace? The military expenses for suppressing the Japanese pirates in the southeast, the fees for copying the Yongle Encyclopedia... Which one wasn't squeezed out of the salt merchants' teeth? Hmm? Didn't those censors who wrote twenty memorials impeaching Li Bin also hide contracts for Yangzhou's "slender horses" in secret compartments of their studies? Answer me! Look in my eyes! Tell me why? Why? Baby, why? I open pawnshops and money exchanges, revitalizing private capital, and you criticize me for profiting at the expense of the people; I contract out infrastructure projects to Zhejiang businessmen, and you impeach me for collusion between officials and businessmen... When bandits caused trouble in various places, it was this corrupt old man, Laozi, who pawned his ancestral home overnight to get a million taels of silver to tide him over. Meanwhile, the model of integrity you all praise can only write begging poems for money!
