It turns out that this is the case. This small island has its own system, which is very strict. Luo Tian has to admire it. No wonder Jiu Ye is so confident that this small island is another Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Speaking of which, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom originally built an ideal society in which "there are fields to farm together, people to eat together, clothes to wear together, money to work together, there is unevenness everywhere, and no one is not fed and warm". Has it become a reality today?
What? All this looked so beautiful. When Luo Tian was in a daze, Master Jiu said, "Since you are hungry, don't restrain yourself and eat quickly."
The cold dishes that were served were no different from those usually seen in restaurants. The cold pig ears, spicy beef and cold cucumbers were very light and looked ordinary. Luo Tian tried a few dishes and felt very refreshing.
, Lao San said: "These are all self-produced on our island. They are very clean and green food. Please don't dislike them."
These words were a bit too polite, which made Luo Tian restrained: "No such thing, I'm sorry to entertain you."
At this time, the stir-fry dishes were also served one after another. The various steaming dishes made everyone's index fingers tickle. The restraints at the beginning had long since disappeared. Seeing how many people were eating happily, Master Jiu was also very happy: "How many of you are here?"
It’s been a whole day here, please have a good rest here tonight, next..."
"I hope we can leave tomorrow morning." Shao Bing said: "Actually, we still have some things we need to go back to deal with, right, Luo Tian?"
Luo Tian also nodded: "That's right." It's true. I don't know how things are going with Lao Luo.
"Actually, that's what I think too. So, Mr. Luo Tian, please help me a lot. I'll leave everything to you." Master Jiu suddenly stood up: "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired. I want to go back to the room to rest first. Everyone.
Use it slowly.”
The third child wanted to stand up to see them off, but Master Jiu refused: "No need, you can accompany the guests for me."
After seeing Master Jiu off, the soup was also served. The three of them were busy drinking the soup. Seeing a look of sadness on the third child's face, Luo Tian put down the bowl: "Lao San, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing. It's just that what happened today made me think of a lot of things. The past, the present, and maybe the future." The third child smiled shyly: "I'm a little lost."
"No, it's not just you, even we have thought a lot." Luo Tian said: "Everything I saw here shocked me. Lao San, you are an amazing person. You actually dared to do that in front of Master Jiu just now.
I am deeply impressed by what he said."
The third child shook his head: "Actually, it's not that I am so great. Master Jiu will not harm the seventh child. I am sure of this, so I dare to say it. It depends on the person, right?"
Cheng Zhen raised his head and glanced at the third child. If he were in the outside world, then with his mind and ability, he would definitely be able to show off his talents. Unfortunately, they are trapped on this small island, with the shackles put on them by their ancestors.
They are really too rich. Besides, even if they go out, will they be able to adapt to life outside?
The meal ended like this. The third child was a very attentive person. He took them to wash up and arranged the room, and then left with peace of mind. Luo Tian came to Shao Bing's room and saw Shao Bing was in the room.
Smoking in front of the window, he knew for the first time that Shao Bing also knew how to smoke. Seeing Luo Tian come in, Shao Bing put out his cigarette: "I knew you would come."
"I thought you wouldn't take the initiative to come to me, so I had to make do with it." Luo Tian said, "I can see that you also have a lot of thoughts about what happened today."
"Yes, everything here is full of unreality." Shao Bing said: "Perfect, or is it?"
"Do you know the holy treasury system?" Luo Tian asked.
"I've never heard of it. You should know that I don't know much about issues like this." Shao Bing couldn't help but pick up a cigarette again, and just about to light it, he immediately put it out.
"The holy treasury system is a system established by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. First of all, it attracted the poor people to actively participate in the uprising. Secondly, the holy treasury system guaranteed the supply of the Taiping Army. The families of the soldiers were in Tianjing and had the holy treasury to solve their living problems.
, so he had no worries and could focus on killing monsters and capturing the city to create the great cause of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Thirdly, all the seizures were handed over to the Holy Treasury, which ensured the good military discipline of the Taiping Army and harmonious relations between the army and the people. In the early days of the Taiping Army, military discipline was relatively well known.
Fourth, in a city like Tianjing that has been surrounded by the Qing army for a long time, there is a special necessity to implement the holy treasury supply system." After Luo Tian finished speaking, he saw Shao Bing's surprised expression: "Why, I feel very surprised.
?”
"No, I just thought of what happened in South Korea. During the financial crisis in 1998, South Korea launched a gold donation campaign. People lined up to donate gold. Some women even took out their dowries from the bottom of the box. These two
Are there any similarities between them?" Shao Bing said, "So, it's difficult for me to judge."
"But." Luo Tian said: "After Tianjing was established as the capital, Hong Xiuquan regarded himself as the lord of all nations in the world. Tianjing was called "little paradise". The palaces were built in great numbers and were extremely magnificent. Although there was a holy treasury to manage property,
But there are no restrictions on kings and high-ranking officials, which is undoubtedly a violation of the principles of the holy treasury system. Although they talk about being frugal and loving the people, after entering the big cities, they talk about enjoyment and ostentation, and squander the public
The extravagance of wealth is growing like an epidemic."
"What do you want to explain? Why are you so emotional today?" Shao Bing asked.
"Do I want to say that this small island will be like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the existing system will maintain the existing order, or will one day lead this small island to the old path?" Luo Tian shook his head: "I have some troubles.
I think about some things about myself and feel a lot, what about you, why were you so sad just now?"
"It's nothing. When I see Lao San, I feel like I'm seeing myself." Luo Tian was a little surprised that Shao Bing's mood originated from Lao San.
"Why?" Luo Tian asked.
"I used to be like Lao San, and maybe I am still like this now. I strongly suppress myself. No matter how many desires and thoughts I have in my heart, I have to force myself not to think about it or do it." Shao Bing said: "Sometimes
I feel proud of this, but sometimes I feel dissatisfied because of it.”
Speaking of this, Shao Bing said: "Okay, I'm tired. I didn't want to say so much. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. I'm a little curious about how they will send us back tomorrow."
This was driving him to leave. Luo Tian didn't take it seriously: "Okay, you go to bed early and don't think too much. By the way, there is one thing... the grudge between Xiaoya and President Chen."
"The man who should be responsible for this incident has paid the price." Shao Bing immediately knew which incident it was: "This incident just taught Xiaoya a lesson, and she should be more measured in her actions in the future."
"Good night." Luo Tian nodded and closed the door for Shao Bing. The last thing he saw was that Shao Bing lit another cigarette and was still standing in front of the window...
