The ancestor said calmly: "This is the advantage of Liu Yu. Whether it is the head of the village or the manager, isn't he still a lackey of the noble family? Even in the national registered household registration, his name may not exist. In other words
, they may just be some
Tenants and villagers live a slightly better life, but they are still unable to be on the same level as nobles from aristocratic families. Moreover, it is not just their current life, but their descendants. Generation after generation, they have to work as tenants and long-term workers for these aristocratic families and nobles.
, there will never be a day to come forward.”
Doupeng gritted his teeth: "What's the difference between being a dog for a noble family and being a dog for the country? Doesn't it mean that if you register for the country and register as a citizen, you're not working like a horse? You have to pay taxes, draw dice, and be like a horse.
During the war, when they were old and could no longer work, they had to return the land to the country, and then expected their children and grandchildren to follow their own old path and provide for them until they die. Some families who really cannot survive
The old man walked directly into the mountains or drowned himself in the river to reduce the burden on his family. Working for a noble family at least did not require such taxation, and the land was not directly deprived of it, even though the land title belonged to the noble family.
Yes, but it doesn’t affect your own farming. The land allocated from the state is only for you to farm and pay taxes when you become a adult. It doesn’t mean that this land really belongs to the people.”
The ancestor said calmly: "Yes, it sounds true. In today's world, it is better to serve aristocratic families and farm land than to serve the country. But this is because the country is still hierarchical and ruled by nobles.
It will not give ordinary people hope and room for advancement. As long as they work as cattle and horses, they will be confined to the land all their lives. Most of their output will be handed over to the state, and they will also provide free labor and corvee services to the state.
, I have a penis, so I have a hard time."
"But don't forget, the premise of all this is based on the theory that the country is ruled by the emperor. In other words, the suffering of all the people is because they can only suffer these sufferings. This is the will of God.
, all the resources between heaven and earth belong to the gods. It is the gods who appointed the emperor, the emperor, to rule them, and the emperor established the court and established a strict hierarchical official system to rule the people, such as
If anyone wants to resist, God will send down the mighty power of that day and make him disappear into ashes and die a miserable death. This is the Confucian theory. Although no one has really seen gods and ghosts for thousands of years since Confucius, at that time, Confucius
They know that there are indeed terrible powers of ghosts and gods in the world, so they are in awe of them, and the Confucian theoretical system is based on the fact that such people cannot challenge gods and ghosts."
"But Liu Yu is different. What he wants to do is to fundamentally deny ghosts and gods and make everyone believe that the world between heaven and earth is the world of humans, not the world of gods and ancestors. Therefore, there is no emperor, no gods, humans, etc.
The destiny of the world is decided by human beings. Therefore, human beings gathered together and organized a country based on the premise of unity, cooperation and common development.
Rulers at all levels were elected to carry out better management, division of labor and order in the entire country. This was what Liu Yu admired. He would not really find an old peasant to be the emperor to manage the world, but he
He will definitely find capable people to govern the world from top to bottom, because he believes that only by selecting the most capable people from among the people in the world can the world be governed."
The black robe gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I still have the same opinion. It's his business to think so, but he not only wants to challenge the gods, but maybe the gods can no longer directly intervene in the human world because of the gods agreement.
However, human beings' selfish, greedy and lazy natures will always exist even if there is no god. Liu Yu wants to find out
There is nothing wrong with having capable and competent people to manage the world and govern the country. However, are capable and capable people willing to be like Liu Yu and regard the people at the bottom who are far less capable as their own kind?
Are you willing to sacrifice everything, regardless of future generations, regardless of your own small family, and only serve these people who have nothing to do with you?"
"Don't talk about aristocratic families, people like the gentry who have mastered the power of knowledge and know the truth that those who work hard govern others and those who work hard govern others, even Liu Yu's old comrades-in-arms, these grassroots warriors who came from the bottom
, the old Beifu brothers who gained wealth through life-and-death struggle, they willingly disbanded and returned to their fields.
Do they really have the same status as those childhood companions, those old farmers who have been farming at home all their lives? It is truly anti-human for a capable person to be on the same level as an incompetent person. If this is really the case, then who will?
You have to struggle, make progress, and strive for wealth? Isn't it better to farm the land safely at home than anything else?"
Doupeng laughed and said: "That is, if you don't give people the hope of getting ahead and the ideal of returning home in fine clothes, then who would want to practice hard and serve the country in the future. Maybe Liu Yu thinks so himself,
But we cannot let everyone think like this. Without the gods and emperors, as long as there is a country, there is power, and there is a system that uses power to manage and drive people to do things. Then there can be no absolute
Equality means that the person in power can still control the fate of others, even life and death. How can it be the same when he is in power and when he abdicates? Even Liu Yu now, really wants him to give up all power and return to power.
If he goes to work as a farmer in Jingkou, will his enemies let him go? How many days can he live without the protection of power and the army? Even if his martial arts skills are extraordinary, no one dares to seek revenge from him, but what about his descendants?"
The ancestor listened quietly to the cloak and black robe saying these words. There were bursts of sandalwood and smoke in the entire secret room, but even after being thousands of miles away, one could still see the smoke spreading technique.
The facial muscles of the two gods were distorted due to excitement, and they seemed to be gnashing their teeth, as if they wanted to gnaw Liu Yu's flesh and blood. It was not until the voice of the cloak gradually dissipated in the secret room that the ancestor slowly said: "No.
Influenced by anger and hatred
Your judgment, two venerables, what you said is the reason why it is impossible for Liu Yu to accomplish this. But in my opinion, just like Shang Yang back then, as long as Liu Yu handles it properly, it is possible even if it is
After death, the people and the government will not cease. Whether any major reform or innovation can be sustained and whether the people will cease and the government will cease actually depends on two points, that is, the continued guarantee of the system, and the will of the people of the world."
