casket of old days

Chapter 75 Class Contradiction

While Chu Qiguang was thinking, he did not forget to take the lead in applauding: "Student Bai Mi said very well. To let the whole world know that the life of the cat demon is also life, so that Adelaide's tragedy will not repeat itself, we must We have to move the two mountains and let people in this world stop demonizing demons, so that we can all breathe."

"Our opponents have never been people from all over the world, but the ignorance and superstition taught by Tianshi, the corrupt system of the Han Dynasty, and they are the murderers who have caused your current predicament."

Chu Qiguang organized his own language in his mind, making what he said next as simple and understandable as possible, using more common sense in this world, proceeding from reality... so that even monsters who have never read a book can understand.

Seeing that the cats seemed to understand but half understood, Chu Qiguang said with a look of compassion: "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 slap her, but she touched her butt and said honestly, "There's nothing to eat."

"There is no food." Chu Qiguang asked again: "Then why is there no food?"

Lulu said: "Even the grass on the ground is eaten up by the villagers, let alone rats and sparrows. If I can't find anything to eat, I can only come to the county town to find a living."

Chu Qiguang nodded, and asked other cat demons who came to the county to beg for life. Some of them couldn't catch small animals to eat, some of them were attached to the villagers and their whole family hanged themselves without feeding them, and some of them were almost caught and eaten by the villagers...

Chu Qiguang analyzed one by one: "Everyone came to the county seat, although it seems that the reasons are different, in the final analysis, it is because you have no food in the original village, and you can't survive. That's why you have no food. Woolen cloth?"

Sensing Chu Qiguang's gaze, Baimi stood up again helplessly, and replied, "It's just...it's just that we 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 human beings live together, and they help each other and depend on each other. You help them catch mice and insects, guard the fields and granaries, and they feed you and take care of you. Everyone usually In the village, they either hunt small animals or eat what people give them, but now both are shrinking."

"You and the common people are in a relationship where one prospers and one loses. It belongs to the same class."

"If they have enough food and clothing, you will also be able to eat every day. If their houses are bare, you will also starve to death."

Most of the cat demons nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what Chu Qiguang said made sense, and it was in line with their daily life experience.

As for living away from humans and living in the real wild, it was something they hadn't thought about at all.

After all, the real wild...Food is more difficult to obtain than in human society, and it is difficult to have a shelter from the wind and rain even in the face of such a dangerous natural environment.

Only monsters like Qiao Zhi who were powerful enough to subdue herds of beasts could live well in the wild.

Chu Qiguang said again: "Why is this happening? Because the common people can't eat enough, and they can't eat enough themselves, so naturally they can't feed you well, and they will even rob you of the small animals you originally hunted and kill. Eating you is all because of hunger and to survive."

"But why are the people getting poorer and hungrier? Where does the food they grow every year go?"

Seeing that the attention of the cat demons was attracted, Chu Qiguang sighed: "Take this county as an example. Wuge's hometown alone has at least 15 mu of land, and the Hao family has at least ten acres. More than [-] mu, plus the Ding family, Sun family and other powerful families, more than half of the cultivated land in Qingyang County has been taken by them."

Chu Qiguang recalled the data he had learned, and said while thinking:

"Not to mention the royal family members, like Prince Hui of Beiyue Mansion, who will offer 3 stones of Lumi, [-] taels of silver, [-] bolts of brocade, [-] bolts of silk, and [-] bolts of silk in a year. There are ten carts of pills, and the expenses for other kinds of martial arts and Taoism are too numerous to mention."

Beiyue Mansion belongs to the upper level of Qingyang County, and the entire Qingyang County belongs to one of the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Beiyue Mansion, where Prince Hui's fief is located.

"Royal family members, officials at all levels... They have so many things, but they don't pay the taxes they should pay, let alone apply for the annual court corvee."

"The farms and resources acquired by these dignitaries account for more than half of the world, but they don't pay taxes. The land that the common people can cultivate is less than half of the world, but they have to pay the taxes of the world."

"How can the common people afford it? Naturally, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The rich have thousands of fields, and the poor have no place to stand."

"The poorer the people are, the harder life will be for your cat monsters. Maybe some cat monsters can sneak into rich families, but these rich families alone cannot support all the cat monsters in the world."

"The dignitaries steal not only the common people, but also the food and clothing of hundreds of millions of cat monsters in the world. You and ordinary people are the objects of their exploitation."

Seeing the eyes of some cat demons suddenly understanding, Chu Qiguang nodded in satisfaction.

The cow cat Lulu raised her paw and asked, "But no matter the people in the village or the city, they all want to kill monsters."

"Lulu, you asked a good question. This is racial conflict."

Chu Qiguang said: "Whether it is the monster race and the human race, the dog race or the cat race, the conflicts between these races are just appearances. The class conflicts that you are exploited by the powerful are the essence, and let them wantonly exploit you. , in the ignorance and superstition taught by the Heavenly Master, and in the corrupt system of the Han Dynasty.

If you want to change all this, you need to do something about reform.

But today’s time is almost up. Next time I will talk about the issue of racial and class conflicts in detail. "

The cat demons in front of them have been running around for food and struggling to survive since they were born. They just feel that these days are getting more and more sad, but they have never thought about the root cause of all this, and they have never thought about it. Someone like Chu Qiguang told them.

Now it was the first time he said Chu Qiguang's words, and 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 said in his heart: "These cat demons are a blank sheet of paper, and it is much easier to teach than humans."If it is to teach people to learn these words, there will be more trouble. '

He went on to say: "In the future, 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 meals to the cat demons himself. As one cat demon came forward with a plate in his mouth, he put the prepared meat and vegetables into their bowls, and then said: "study well."

Bai Mi, the white cat, nodded: "Thank you, Brother Gou."

Chu Qiguang said: "Don't learn to bark like Chen Gang, you can call me Mr. Chu from today on."

"Okay, Mr. Chu."

After serving all the cat demons with meat dishes, Chu Qiguang also picked up a bowl of the same meat dishes and ate them.

Looking at the more and more obedient cat demons, Chu Qiguang smiled slightly, and thought in his heart: "If these cat demons are well trained, then the future will be the best kindling, which can help me quickly expand the team of demons." ”斺??

Thanks to 'JO Taro who is not a man', I still gave Chu Qiguang's character a gift, thank you very much.
