People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless
Chapter 562 The old guys are not stupid either!
Chapter 562 The common people are not stupid either!
To be honest, Wang Dahai really didn't expect Captain Liu to say such a thing.
At the beginning, he always felt that although Captain Liu was a cunning person in his daily life, he should be like himself and not have too many scheming minds.
After all, they are all military men, it is impossible for them to have as many cunning minds as scholars.
But now he wanted to say sincerely that it was really not the case.
This guy is really awesome.
And he has amazing talent.
What is this talent?
It is when you are able to see something that obviously makes you feel particularly unreasonable, and there is something that makes you very confused and very difficult to solve.
He could actually come up with an even more damaging trick to make others bear the so-called harm.
For example, now, the reason why he wants to stir up disputes between scholars and ordinary people.
I just want to tell the common people, aren’t you also thinking about how to make your children and grandchildren live a better life?
Aren’t you also thinking about making your life better in the future?
Well, now let me let you know that there is actually a way.
That is to send your children and grandchildren to the private schools established by the Ming Dynasty, so that you can enjoy the same treatment as them.
In this way, you and your descendants can also study in such an environment.
Growing up in such an environment, climbing up step by step in such an environment.
In the future, I will be able to have a better learning environment in such an environment.
Even tell you guys.
Even if you are just craftsmen.
Your children can also study in such private schools.
Then you are different.
Although Captain Liu did not say this, this is actually what he was going to say.
He will even tell all the people present a very shocking fact during his explanation later.
That is, their descendants may be able to enjoy such treatment in the future.
Wang Dahai looked at Captain Liu and was very shocked.
Then he asked, "How do you control what these ordinary people are thinking?"
Liu Baihu smiled and said, “You may not know this, or maybe you didn’t grow up in the same environment as me.
When I was a child, I grew up in a dirty, messy and disgusting environment.
I didn’t think about doing anything else at that time. I was just thinking, can I have such an environment to grow up in.
I never thought at that time that I would be able to stand here and talk to them today.
Think about the environment I grew up in, is it the same as theirs?"
When Captain Liu said this, Wang Dahai really felt that it seemed to be true.
Because Captain Liu also said that he had lived in a very dirty and poor place since he was a child.
At that time, I didn’t even know if there would be the next meal after this one.
So he understands very well what these ordinary people are thinking.
He could even know what the people would say next.
Especially when Captain Liu and others said that they could let their descendants study in private schools and take the exam. If they passed, they would be able to receive a considerable subsidy.
In the future, even if you have to farm or encounter famine, you will be able to make a living with this subsidy.
This is actually to ensure that those who have the motivation and qualifications to study well can study in private schools with peace of mind without being distracted by other things.
To be honest, these things are exactly what Liu Baihu wanted back then.
Back then, their family might have survived in that environment.
At that time they saw many children who were able to enter private schools and who were actually the same age as him.
But he had to herd cattle and do various farm work for the landlords to earn money to supplement his family.
However, other people's children can read and write with the private school teachers in private schools and wander in the ocean of knowledge together.
At that time, he was leading the cow from behind the window and heard the children reading aloud. He was particularly envious.
So many times they have this kind of feeling in common.
He has the same feelings towards those individuals who have no money and no power.
At that time, he understood very well that if he wanted to truly become a great man, he had to study and go to a private school.
I must be like those children from wealthy families, without any worries and having a stable environment.
That’s what the common people think, just like he did when he was a common person.
The reason why Wang Dahai has no experience in this area is because he grew up in a different environment.
Because he had already become a soldier.
At that time, his father and everyone around him told him something very important, which was that he could not be lazy after going to the battlefield, he had to fight and make achievements in order to have a good future.
He and Captain Liu lived in different environments and conditions. Even though they became friends later, when it came to talking about the fundamental things, Wang Dahai didn't know how to discuss these topics with the common people.
However, Captain Liu was able to hit the nail on the head and make the common people realize that there were people who had the same idea as them.
There is someone who thinks the same way as we do. It turns out that he can sympathize with us. He has the same background as us, so he understands very well what kind of difficulties we are facing.
He grew up in the same environment as us, so he understands very well what kind of environment we need.
This is what the people particularly want now.
It is not like the theories that Wang Dahai talked about above, nor the pie in the sky that Wang Dahai painted for the people. These are all unrealistic.
Ordinary people are very realistic and they just want to give the money directly.
Captain Liu seized on this point and told the people that your children can do the same in the future.
The people are willing to believe it.
These are the simple values of ordinary people.
No matter where the people are, their ideas are actually the same.
Don't play those empty tricks with them, just give it to them for free.
Just push it in their minds, they will understand and they will follow your lead.
Thinking of this, Wang Dahai gave Liu Baihu a thumbs up and whispered, "You are really awesome." Especially when he saw the common people below arguing fiercely over this matter and suddenly opposing those scholars, he realized that their goal had actually been achieved.
Why did Wang Dahai and his people, after coming here, want to set the local people against the scholars?
It is not to make them hate each other in the future.
But we want them to understand that all the days from now on are given to you by us.
How you live in the future will depend on whether we can give you the same kind of life.
This is the real purpose, not thinking that you can escape from our control when you have the so-called conditions in the future.
Instead of letting you have a so-called future, you think that it is what you deserve.
You shouldn't have such thoughts.
All thoughts should follow us.
It is because we want you to understand that the reason why scholars can hold such high positions and have such generous salaries is why they can become officials in the future.
It is because they passed the imperial examination and worked hard in officialdom step by step that they have the good life they have now.
And all this is not exclusive to scholars.
In fact, you can also follow scholars.
You can also have such a good life.
As long as you follow our footsteps, as long as you can slowly step into the reform of the imperial examination like us, as long as you keep pace with our guidance, you can also become a scholar.
The status he once had, the books you once saw.
We understand that you are very angry about the way they show off their power and act arrogantly in the landlord's mansion.
So after we understand your situation, we will try every possible way to change your situation and make you understand.
As long as you follow our Ming Dynasty, you will be able to escape from that situation.
It even makes you understand that your destiny is not determined by God and is not immutable.
As long as your children enter the private school and pass the private school's examination.
As long as he can study hard, as long as he takes the imperial examination like other children, he can get good grades.
After he passes the assessment to become an official, he can also become an official.
After becoming an official, you have also seen how powerful those officials are.
Even if the Ming Dynasty will impose strict restrictions on officials in the future, they will not be allowed to do evil things like previous officials, nor will they be allowed to be like previous officials who only knew how to engage in corruption.
But the status and honor are the same.
As long as they become officials, think about the fact that you all used to be peasants.
Your ancestors may not have ever held an official position in eight generations, but after the reforms of our Ming Dynasty.
Your children can enter private schools, your children can take the imperial examinations, and can become officials through this path. How glorious is that?
Even during the annual ancestor worship, when you kneel and kowtow before your ancestors' graves, you can say this with great honor.
What our ancestors could not do before, my children have accomplished today.
The reason for such achievements is thanks to the reforms after the Ming Dynasty, which brought about changes in our positive attitude.
It also made the local people believe from the bottom of their hearts that the Ming Dynasty gave them everything, that the Ming Dynasty was their heaven, and that the Ming Dynasty was their god.
This is the current purpose of the Ming Dynasty.
We must make sure that every ordinary person understands who has given them a good life.
Now Captain Liu has done it. He wants to let his people know that they can actually be the same as those scholars.
You can enjoy many conveniences just like readers.
You can take the imperial examination like those scholars.
They can allow their children to study in private schools like scholars.
They no longer have to think that scholars are superior to them as before, and they no longer have to always think that scholars are of higher status than them as before.
No longer need to be afraid of seeing people who read books as before.
The reason why scholars are afraid is that they have some say with the landlords.
If they say something bad about themselves to the landlords, it can make their lives very miserable.
It can turn all your life’s efforts into nothing.
It can allow your descendants to suffer humiliation.
So they are afraid.
But now it's different.
It turns out that it is so easy to study in a private school and later become an official.
As long as my children can study hard, as long as my children are not like those playboys who only know how to win the hearts of beautiful girls all day long.
As long as their children are not the unambitious ones, they can become officials and bring honor to their family, just like the scholars before them.
As Wang Dahai and others said just now, the officials here are corrupt because there are no restrictions.
When we arrive, we will be officials and will not allow them to exploit you blindly.
But even if his child becomes such an official, does not engage in corruption, and uses his real talents to govern Mandala City properly, isn't this a way to bring honor to the family?
Do you have to bring huge amounts of money into your home to bring honor to your family?
All that kind of glory and honor for one's family is illusory and a bubble, and one will have to endure countless common people pointing at and cursing at one's back behind one's back.
Such glory would only bring shame to their ancestors in the underworld, and they are unwilling to have such glory.
They would rather let their descendants become honest officials when they become officials in the future.
Because they were really exploited so much by those corrupt officials.
They empathize with the common people and feel that life is not easy.
Therefore, if your descendants become officials, it is enough for them to receive the salary from the court. They should not take the money that does not belong to them in addition to the salary.
As long as people can live a better life, as long as they don't have to live the same life as before, it will be a honor for the audience.
That's what your own people want to see.
It is precisely because of this that the people now seem to see a door open to them.
Maybe those scholars were panicked at this time because they saw countless competitors.
These competitors even have a deep hatred towards them, how can this be tolerated!
