While Chu Qiguang was thinking about it, he also did not forget to take the lead in applauding: "Classmate Bai Mi said it very well. To let the whole world know that the life of the cat demon is also life, and to prevent the tragedy of Ade from happening again, we must
We need to move two mountains so that people in this world stop demonizing monsters so that we can all breathe."
"Our opponents have never been the people of the world, but the foolish and superstitious beliefs of the Tianshi Sect and the corrupt system of the Han Dynasty. They are the murderers that have caused your current predicament."
Chu Qiguang organized his language in his mind, making what he said next as simple and easy to understand as possible, using more common sense of this world, and starting from reality... so that even monsters who have never read a book can understand it.
Looking at the cats who seemed to understand but not understand, Chu Qiguang said with a compassionate look: "I know that many of you here have fled to the county from nearby villages."
He looked at Lulu and asked: "Lulu, you came to the county from Nangou Township, right? Why did you escape?"
Lulu instinctively wanted to fight, but she touched her butt and said honestly: "There is nothing to eat."
"There's nothing to eat." Chu Qiguang asked again, "Then why is there nothing to eat?"
Lulu said: "Even the grass on the ground has been eaten up by the villagers, let alone rats, sparrows and the like. If I can't find anything to eat, I have to come to the county town to find a living."
Chu Qiguang nodded and asked other cat demons who came to the county to seek a living. Some of them couldn't catch small animals to eat, some of the villagers who were attached to them hung themselves with no one to feed them, and some of them were almost caught and eaten by the villagers...
Chu Qiguang analyzed one by one: "Although everyone came to the county for different reasons, in the end it was because you had no food in your original village and couldn't survive. That's why there was no food."
Woolen cloth?"
Feeling Chu Qiguang's gaze, Bai Mi stood up helplessly and replied: "It's just... we just can't catch anything to eat, and the people who were willing to adopt us are gone."
Chu Qiguang nodded and said: "Yes, the cat demon clan and humans live together, and there is a relationship of mutual help and mutual dependence. You help them catch mice and insects, protect the fields and granaries, and they feed you and take care of you. Everyone usually
In the village, you either hunt small animals or eat things given by people, but now both of these are declining."
"You and the people are in a relationship where both prosper and suffer. We belong to the same class."
"If they have enough food and clothing, you will have enough to eat every day. If their homes are bare, you will also starve to death."
Most of the cat demons nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Chu Qiguang said made sense and was consistent with their daily life experiences.
As for breaking away from humans and living in the real wild, this is something they have never thought about.
After all, in the real wild... food is harder to obtain than in human society, and you have to face such a dangerous natural environment, and it is difficult to have a shelter from the wind and rain.
Only monsters like Qiao Zhi who are strong and able to subdue the beasts can live well in the wild.
Chu Qiguang said again: "Why is this? Because the common people don't have enough to eat. They themselves don't have enough to eat. Naturally, they can no longer feed you well. They will even rob the small animals you originally killed. They will want to
I eat you all because I am hungry and to survive."
"But why are the people getting poorer and hungry? Where does the food they grow every year go?"
Seeing that the attention of the cat monsters had been attracted, Chu Qiguang sighed: "Take this county as an example. The Wuge family alone controls at least 150,000 acres of farmland, and the Hao family also has at least 150,000 acres of land.
More than 100,000 acres, plus the Ding family, Sun family and other wealthy families, more than half of the cultivated land in Qingyang County has been occupied by them."
Chu Qiguang recalled the data he learned and said while thinking about it:
"Not to mention the royal family members. For example, Prince Hui of Beiyue Mansion needs to pay 60,000 shi of rice, 30,000 taels of silver, 40 pieces of brocade, 300 pieces of silk, 500 pieces of silk, and all kinds of silk every year.
Ten carts of elixirs, various other martial arts training, and Taoist cultivation expenses are even more numerous."
Beiyue Prefecture belongs to the upper level of Qingyang County. The entire Qingyang County is one of the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Beiyue Prefecture. Prince Hui's fiefdom is here.
"The royal family members, officials at all levels... they possess so many things, but they do not pay the taxes they should pay, let alone the annual corvee levied by the court."
"These estates acquired by the powerful have more than half of the world's resources, but they don't pay taxes. The common people can cultivate less than half of the world's land, but they have to pay the world's taxes."
"How can the common people afford it? Naturally, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. The rich have fields with thousands of uncles, and the poor have no place to stand."
"The poorer the people are, the harder life will be for you cat monsters. Maybe some cat monsters can sneak into wealthy families, but these wealthy families alone cannot support all the cat monsters in the world."
"The powerful and powerful rob not only the common people, but also the food and clothing of the billions of cat demons in the world. You and the ordinary people are both the targets of their exploitation."
Seeing the eyes of some cat demons with sudden understanding, Chu Qiguang nodded with satisfaction.
The cow cat Lulu raised her paw and asked: "But whether people in the village or in the city, they all have to kill monsters."
"Lulu, you asked a good question. This is racial conflict."
Chu Qiguang said: "Whether it is the demon clan, the human clan, the dog clan or the cat clan, the conflicts between these races are only superficial. The class contradiction that you are exploited by the powerful is the essence, and it allows them to exploit your roots at will."
, it’s due to the foolish belief of the Tianshi Sect, and it’s due to the corrupt system of the Han Dynasty.
If you want to change all this, you must carry out reforms.
But today’s time is almost up. Regarding the issues of racial conflicts and class conflicts, I will explain them in detail to you next time.”
The cat monsters in front of them have been running for food and fighting for survival since they were born. They just feel that life is getting more and more sad, but they have never thought about the root cause of all this, and they have never thought about it.
A person like Chu Qiguang told them.
Now for the first time, when Chu Qiguang said these words, many cat demons felt a sense of enlightenment on the spot.
Chu Qiguang looked at the appearance of the cat demons, nodded with satisfaction, and thought to himself: "These cat demons have a blank sheet of paper, and it is much easier to teach them than people. If you teach people to learn these things, it will be a lot of trouble."
.'
He continued: "From now on, we will have a class every day. I hope everyone can fight for the rise of the cat clan."
"Let's have dinner."
After class, Chu Qiguang began to add rice to the cat demons himself. As the cat demons came forward with plates in their mouths, he put the prepared meat and vegetables into their bowls, and then said:
"study well."
White Cat Baimi nodded: "Thank you, Brother Dog."
Chu Qiguang said: "Don't imitate Chen Gang and yell nonsense. From today on, you can call me Mr. Chu."
"Okay, Mr. Chu."
After serving meat and vegetables to all the cat demons, Chu Qiguang also picked up a bowl of the same meat and vegetables and ate it.
Looking at the cat demons who were becoming more and more obedient, Chu Qiguang showed a smile on his lips and thought in his heart: "If these cat demons are well trained, they will be the best fire in the future and can help me quickly expand the demon team."
