Through the principle of filial piety and brotherhood, Zuo Mengeng issued the most powerful appeal to like-minded people.
"Actually, what I'm most worried about is Nian Taigong, Ruogu Gong, Meng Angong, Kang Yugong, Dongjiao Gong, as well as the Zhang family, Liu family and various families in Dongchang Mansion..."
Zuo Menggeng's roll call made many people confused.
Everything is obviously fine, so why should he worry?
"Everyone, how is your house? Are you living a comfortable life? There are people taking care of you. Are you going to give it to a god or not?"
The scene was solemn, and everyone finally understood.
Zuo Mengeng was not joking, but drawing a sword.
"You people are actually different from most others. Even if you don't come here to rebel, you can still live a prosperous life, and your family can still be well-dressed, well-fed, and prestigious. You come here to participate in the rebellion, I
Understand, in fact you are just unwilling to lose power under the old order."
These words were so sharp that everyone he named could not help but be stunned.
But after thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that he was right.
These people are not displaced people, nor are they refugees who sell their sons and daughters, nor are they slaughtered and brutalized fish and meat.
They were originally scholar-bureaucrats and landlords in name only.
There are no poor people among them, and they have obtained considerable profits through old methods.
The reason why they reunited with Zuo Mengeng and embarked on the path of rebellion was just because...
Under the framework of the old order, they are all losers.
Note that they are just losers, not losers, let alone the prey of successful people.
Therefore, Zuo Mengeng has always been worried. Until today, when he felt that the time was ripe, he put all this on the table.
"Human beings are creatures that find it difficult to get rid of old habits. It is even more difficult for old people in the old era to get rid of familiar environments. But the ship of the new era has set sail. I wonder if you can keep up?
"
No one can answer it, and it's not a question that can be answered right away.
Zuo Mengeng might as well speak more clearly.
"A mere act of filial piety has become an obstacle to our progress. But is this the only obstacle in front of us? When we need more and more people to become a free labor force, they can help us create wealth and complete our careers.
At that time, the status quo of each of your families will inevitably be affected. When it is necessary to liberate the servants in your family and enrich them into the labor force, can you bear the life of no one to serve you? When you cannot keep your word within the family and determine the people.
When it comes to life and death, can you accept such a sense of loss?"
The repeated questioning was like sharp blades piercing into the depths of these people's hearts.
Many people were lost in thought and imagination, and for a while, many people couldn't help but become afraid.
Which of these people does not have a prosperous family?
Who is not a servant?
That is property that belongs entirely to them, private property that they can decide whether to live or die.
It is precisely by enjoying such offerings and services that they can live a decent and noble life.
Just thinking about the day when those servants who had been groveling to them could face them with their heads held high, the huge gap would make many people accept their incompetence.
Can……
"Everyone's family has made a lot of money through various businesses, right?"
When Zuo Mengeng mentioned this, everyone smiled.
The core purpose of new forces to replace the old forces is to seize and redistribute interests.
And these people will naturally be the biggest beneficiaries.
As participants in the various industries and commerce that are being developed and developed here, they are naturally making a lot of money.
Zuo Mengeng suddenly asked: "If you were asked to give up your business and go back to the life of scholar-bureaucrats in the past, would you be willing?"
Well, everyone looked confused, even the wisest people didn't know how to make a decision.
Zuo Mengeng said with a smile: "Perhaps some people may say, why can't we enjoy the life of a master and earn a huge amount of wealth at the same time?"
Many people were really embarrassed by his words.
It seems that someone really thought this way.
"New productivity must match the new system before it can unleash all its energy. So everyone, I hope you will deeply analyze your own hearts. Are you ready... to welcome the arrival of the new world?"
Zuo Menggeng finally lifted all the covers and nakedly expressed the trend that capitalism would inevitably replace feudalism.
At the same time, this is also a precaution taken within the camp.
Liu Zongzhou, Hou Xun and others will inevitably struggle with the choice and adaptation between the new and the old for a long time to come.
He was not sure how many people would be left behind after the waves washed away the sand.
But a pure team is obviously more necessary.
Only a firm and united collective can exert its greatest energy and influence the future of the Chinese nation at this critical moment when the wheel of history is turning.
Huang Zongxi was much more determined and just asked: "Then where should we start?"
It is not an easy task to overturn a moral and ethical system that has lasted for more than two thousand years.
Especially today's Chinese nation, although it is experiencing unspeakable pain, but without the impact and destruction of advanced foreign culture, people in this era will not feel that sting.
People in this era are unable to break down all the old cages and reshape the spirit of China like the New Culture Movement did.
This cannot be changed by Zuo Menggeng alone.
However, the urgent need for the development of real productive forces has made everyone realize that the old order must be reformed.
Before Zuo Mengeng spoke, Qu Shichun said: "Speaking of which, a case recently occurred in Linqing, which has a great impact. Now there is a lot of discussion outside. The root cause is related to family ethics."
After everyone inquired, they learned that the case was so sad and outrageous.
There was a village woman named Tian Xiao'e who was sold by her greedy father to Zhang Dacai, a wealthy man from a neighboring village, for ten taels of silver two years ago.
Tian Xiao'e had a childhood sweetheart named Ma Tianjiu in the same village. The two had already fallen in love and wanted to stay together for the rest of their lives.
But Ma Tianjiu was poor and penniless, and could not afford the bride price. Tian Xiao'e was about to be married to Zhang Dacai.
The two desperate mandarin ducks got together, discussed for a while, and prepared to escape secretly.
Unexpectedly, Tian Xiao'e's father, Tian Gouzi, had been prepared, and the two were caught before they left the village.
Because the two of them had a private life-long contract and were immoral, under the auspices of the village elder, Ma Tianjiu was severely beaten and was unable to get off the bed for three months.
Tian Xiao'e was tied up tightly and almost tied into Zhang Dacai's house.
After a lot of trouble, the marriage between Zhang Dacai and Tian Xiaoe was completed, and Tian Xiaoe finally gave up.
But what she never expected was that this was the beginning of her misfortune.
"That big fortune is a lazy one. He is a well-known green-skinned gangster from all over the country. He hangs out in restaurants and gambling houses all day long and is addicted to gambling. He owes a lot of debt in the gambling house, and the gambling house comes to collect debts and beats him.
Half dead. The gambling house threatened to beat him to death if he didn't pay back the money. Zhang Dacai, this beast..."
Qu Shishu was clearly just introducing the facts of the case, but he was still furious to death.
"For money, that beast actually forced Tian Xiao'e to be a half-closed servant. When Tian Xiao'e refused, Zhang Dacai and his parents tied up Tian Xiao'e and sold her body."
"Bang..."
Huang Zongxi slapped his hand on the table, his face turned pale, and he only said two words.
"Deserves to be killed."
Qu Shichun saw that everyone's faces were livid and furious, and he sneered.
"You think this is the end of the matter? Tian Xiao'e was forced to sell herself to Zhang Dacai to pay off her debts. Later, she became pregnant. However, Zhang Dacai's family said they didn't know where the evil seed in her belly came from, and they even found a witch to beat her.
Lose."
It was obvious that the atmosphere in the room had cooled down by 30%, which showed that everyone was extremely angry.
"This matter was known to Ma Tianjiu. In order to save the life of his sweetheart, he begged and gave Zhang Dacai five taels of silver, saying that he would support the child after birth. When Zhang Dacai saw that he cared so much about Tian Xiao'e, he planned to
In his heart, he deceived Ma Tianjiu and said that as long as he gave him twenty taels of silver, he, Tian Xiaoe and Li would marry each other. Ma Tianjiu believed it and ran to borrow the interest, thinking that he could save Tian Xiaoe from the fire pit. Who would have expected that?
Zhang Dacai took the money but sued the village elders, saying that Ma Tianjiu and Tian Xiao'e had committed adultery. Not only did Ma Tianjiu lose both his life and wealth, he was severely beaten and his legs were broken. Tian Xiao'e's child was not saved either, and Zhang Dacai
The house was knocked down."
Speaking of this, such a strong man as Qu Shichun burst into tears.
"Tian Xiao'e was disheartened and had murderous intentions. A few days later, while the family was sleeping, she lit a fire and burned Zhang Dacai and his evil parents to death at home.
The incident became a big deal in the countryside. The village unanimously believed that Tian Xiao'e was an evil woman and put her in a cage to be immersed to death. Fortunately, the soldiers passing by saw her and snatched her from the hands of the villagers, and the case was also
It hit me right here."
Everyone heard about the case.
Everyone's heart is heavy.
Because with their knowledge and experience, they know that what happened to Tian Xiaoe is not unique in this era.
A weak woman cannot control her own destiny.
Although many of them believe that the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are natural, but when comparing the tragic life of the same woman, no one, no matter how stubborn, can say anything persistent.
Zuo Mengeng's mind raced and he immediately realized that this case was a good opportunity.
This case can be set as a model to promote new ideas to the general public.
"Since this case has attracted the attention of the world, it cannot be taken lightly. It needs to be dealt with most of the time in a special and careful manner. Not only will it be a solid case, but it will also serve as a warning to the world."
He turned around and told Fu Yijian: "Send my order to ask Huang Zonghui to come back."
