"Your Majesty, what you just said...are you really going to do it?"
After dispersing the young men just now, Han Lucheng accompanied Li Yuanjia all the way back to his study. After making tea for the king, he frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Huh? What?"
Li Yuanjia, who was writing something on a white paper, asked a casual question at first, then immediately reacted and looked up at Han Lucheng: "Haha, of course I really want to do it. Since I have said it, I will definitely fulfill it...
What, do you think it’s inappropriate?”
"Ahem, I don't dare!"
Quickly lowering his head, Han Lucheng responded with a bitter voice.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.
Li Yuanjia naturally understood the meaning of Han Lucheng's words, so he just curved the corners of his mouth slightly and focused his attention on the stack of white paper in front of him again.
Of course he understood what Han Lucheng was thinking, and he also knew that what he just said was indeed a bit rash.
Some of those young men were indeed private slaves, but there were also some who were official slaves by virtue of his status as King of Han. Some of them were even descendants of "rebels". If they were rashly freed from slavery, they would become "
"Beloved man", I'm afraid Li Yuanjia will also have some troubles as a person.
But even if he understands this, Li Yuanjia will never change his mind.
Isn’t it just picking out two every year? What’s the point?
Anyway, Li Yuanjia knew that as long as he didn't pardon these teenagers in large numbers, no one would dare to use this kind of thing to disgust him. But if he didn't give such conditions, don't expect them to work for him wholeheartedly.
…
Sooner or later, Li Yuanjia will bring out Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory in Datang.
But at that time, this theory that will only appear in the 20th century after a thousand years, maybe it should be called King Han... Or does Li Yuanjia need the hierarchy theory?
Different life situations have different needs.
For example, when the current emperor Li Shimin reached the pinnacle of his life, he was definitely not thinking about how to eat better and dress more beautifully. Even his purpose of building a new palace was probably not as simple as that.
In order to live. For him, how to make this empire stronger, his prestige higher, and his position more important in history is the most attractive thing.
To put it simply, what Li Shimin values is spiritual pursuit, the sense of accomplishment in this life and the eternal reputation behind him.
As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanjia was basically the same.
However, as the younger brother of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, at least while Li Shimin was still alive, he must stay away from politics, military and other fields. Even in the economic field, Li Yuanjia did not dare to do much.
At least I don't dare to love money like my other cousin.
People use the setting of loving money to protect themselves, but Li Yuanjia has a higher spirit to pursue the Chinese Tang Dynasty Leonardo da Vinci and so on, and there is absolutely no way to satisfy him!
When Li Yuanjia thinks of the books he has "written" over the years, Li Yuanjia's heart is filled with excitement!
Although he was just a surgeon in his previous life, most of the things he learned in school have been returned to teachers and professors, but as a modern person in the 21st century, if something casually leaks out from between his fingers, in a thousand years
Don’t you want someone who wasn’t awesome years ago?
Just say those six math books...
Okay, let’s not talk about the six math books that made him sad.
Just say...
Okay, let’s not talk about anything else.
Anyway, in one sentence, different people have different pursuits. Li Yuanjia was reincarnated into the old Li family in this life. It can be said that he no longer has any pursuits in terms of identity and status, because unless he kills his second brother and becomes emperor himself, he has already reached the top.
As for money, what use does it have in this evil feudal society?
As a prince, how can he still be short of money?
Therefore, Li Yuanjia's pursuit is mainly spiritual and does not have high requirements for material things. That is to say, ordinary people, even some petty officials, will work hard to make more money every month.
As for the slaves in front of me...
Survival is their first need.
As a "bitch", the most important thing is not to encounter a cruel master so that you can live safely; then you will consider not going hungry, having a place to live, and having clothes to keep warm; and then...
…
There is nothing more to do, because the rest is simply not what they are qualified to consider.
Should I work hard under the sun all my life, or should I sit in the house every day and be a cashier? Should I be lonely for the rest of my life, or should I find a wife who is also a "bitch" and have several children together to continue to serve my master?
Whether the family is a cow or a horse, it all depends on the owner's thoughts and rules, and it has nothing to do with what they themselves think.
After being in the lower class for a long time, the young people have already understood their future.
So when Li Yuanjia saw them, his eyes were full of lifeless dusk, both the expression on his face and the look in his eyes.
To be honest, Li Yuanjia felt a little unbearable at the time and also had a slight headache.
The few boys under him, such as Li Zhong and Ma Liang, were all born from the family, that is, from the servants of the family. They came into this world as Li Yuanjia's people. For them, they never had to fight for their own safety.
I am troubled by my status. I am very satisfied if I can have enough food and clothing. Now that I am in charge, I am even more grateful. I work absolutely without any hesitation.
But the group of teenagers who just left were completely different.
I'm afraid they were all the children of well-to-do wealthy families at the time, maybe even the children of officials. Not only were they well fed and clothed, but most importantly, they also enjoyed the taste of freedom.
Do you want them to be as loyal and dedicated as Li Zhong and others?
That is definitely not something that can be accomplished by having enough food and clothing, or by being a little craftsman.
That's why when Li Yuanjia met them for the first time, he offered these young men a pie that they couldn't refuse. Starting six years later, every year Li Yuanjia would select the two best-performing young men.
Get rid of their slavery and restore their status as husbands!
Yes, only two.
Li Yuanjia was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he was just a prince.
Let’s not talk about whether he can or not. Anyway, he doesn’t think he has the need to challenge the current social rules. Letting two people out a year, and starting from six years later, Li Yuanjia thinks that he can hold it, and if more people are allowed to go out, he will inevitably get into trouble.
Come to criticize.
And such bait is enough to make them study and work desperately.
“Only when you have a goal can you really work hard!”
With a sudden movement in his heart, Li Yuanjia glanced at Han Lucheng beside him, and couldn't help but curve his mouth again.
