People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 564: Everything is in vain in the face of absolute reality!

Wang Dahai now admires Captain Liu very much.

Just now Captain Liu said that he might not be good at talking to them.

They even kept postponing it, saying that you still have to call another person to convince these people.

But I didn't expect that Youjia Department Store didn't say anything, he just said one sentence on it.

This made the faces of so many ordinary people change all of a sudden.

Even at this time, it can be seen that these ordinary people seem to have seen the light all of a sudden.

Because they discovered that the Ming Dynasty was really coming to save them at this time.

Wang Dahai could even see that the brilliance displayed in the eyes of the people today at this moment seemed to be more than what they had gained in the first half of their lives.

Because at that moment they saw the light of hope flashing in the eyes of the people.

This kind of light can not be manifested by everything.

It was just in this moment.

It seems that everyone has the motivation to move forward.

At this moment, it seemed that they had suddenly become different.

At this moment, it seemed that everyone suddenly felt that something was pushing them.

At this moment, they finally understood that what they had obtained seemed to have a concrete image all of a sudden.

Before, none of them had ever thought that one day they would have contact with the Ming Dynasty.

When have the ordinary people here ever enjoyed such treatment?

In fact, why are the common people afraid of those landlords and those scholars?
Because their lifeline has been seized.

Because their descendants may all live on this land.

If you don't listen to them, you may suffer unimaginable torture.

Many ordinary people have thought about resisting, and some have even thought about risking their lives.

Can we make those so-called landlords pay the price?

Even at this moment, what they were thinking about was if they could make those landlords pay a price.

If my life can be remembered by my descendants, then it will be worth it.

But what they didn't expect was that they had had such an idea but couldn't realize it.

Because once they take any action, others will know about it.

Once others know about it, they will have to pay a huge price, and this price is not just a life.

The price may be that all of your descendants will be killed.

All the plans they had thought of had to be abandoned immediately after they thought of this outcome.

Because they thought about their children and grandchildren, they thought about their wives, children and the elderly.

They thought about how their wives, children and the elderly had never had a good life with him.

Are we going to allow those who oppress the old and the young to become innocent victims?
They don't dare to think so, they don't dare to do so, they don't even dare to have such an idea.

I can only honestly do those things that I once looked down upon.

All I can do at this moment is to turn my back and wipe away my tears.

All I can do at this moment is to obediently carry the hoe on my shoulders.

They could only let their already narrow hearts at this moment endure those things that made them feel disgusted.

Why did those scholars bully them? Why did those scholars laugh at them?
Why do those scholars always think that the common people can only kneel on the ground and pray?

Because of what?
Because they all feel that these ordinary people can only live like this for the rest of their lives.

These ordinary people may have to stay in those fields all their lives.

All their lives they have to look up at those scholars, who are stepping on their heads from a high position.

You can only endure such so-called tests throughout your life.

You will just be struggling to survive under their feet for your whole life.

Perhaps it was at that moment that they realized their original status.

Maybe at that moment they suddenly felt what they called superiority.

Maybe at that moment they finally understood that there is a feeling called stepping on someone else's head.

Scholars may really only enjoy the glory of that moment.

Because of what?
Because after enjoying this moment, they will immediately go back to the past and worship those grown men.

Why do these scholars keep bullying the common people?

Why do these scholars prefer to bully ordinary people rather than resist?

Because in this world where resistance is impossible, no matter whether it is the common people or the scholars.

In fact, they are all quite sad.

They may really have no way to resist.

Maybe I really can only accept the reality in front of me silently.

Perhaps at this moment, they can only vent the emptiness deep in their hearts by targeting other ordinary people.

Wang Dahai said to Captain Liu, "You, you just keep pretending to be a grandson. Look how powerful you are.

With just a few words, he stirred up everyone's dissatisfaction and personal hatred.

You say you are not good enough, but in fact you are the best.

You are using your past experiences to stir up all their hatred.

You are using your past experiences to make these ordinary people understand that one day they can stand up on their own.

You are using your experience to tell the people that in these last days, as long as they can follow the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty, they can also say goodbye to their previous lives.

So you are the best.”

When Captain Liu heard this, he felt quite sad for some reason.

Why? Because when he saw the ordinary people in front of him, he saw his former self.

I used to be just like these ordinary people.

I originally thought about what I would be able to achieve one day.

One day, I will be able to stand at a certain height and bring honor to my family like others.

One day I can graduate from high school like others and then become an official.

Although he also thinks that his current life is actually quite good.

After all, he is already a centurion.

After all, it is not easy to become a centurion.

After all, it is not easy to be a real official, even a military officer, in this society. So while he is satisfied with his current status, he also feels that his life is not as colorful as Wang Dahai said, but full of hardships and setbacks.

Captain Liu quietly watched the people below quarreling.

Then he looked at Wang Dahai who said he was very lucky, and whispered, "In fact, you don't know that I was also very confused.

Even before my father was exiled, my life was as hopeless as theirs.

You don’t know how desperate their lives are. Only I understand very well what my situation was at that time.

In fact, I am the only one who can truly understand them.

Only I can truly empathize with them.

At this moment, I actually feel quite sad, because even if our Ming Dynasty came, even if we changed their current situation, do you think our Ming Dynasty could really make them very rich all of a sudden?
Do you think that our Ming Dynasty can really change the current situation here all at once?"

After hearing what Captain Liu said, Wang Dahai also fell silent.

To be honest, he didn't actually think that he had to sympathize with these ordinary people after coming here.

Even though these ordinary people are actually different from the officials and soldiers here.

They will not fight with me. As long as I give them enough benefits and provide them with a peaceful and stable environment, they will be very satisfied.

They will help the Ming Dynasty to the best of their ability.

But I don't know why I feel that everything in front of me seems to have nothing to do with me.

He did not sympathize with the people here.

However, after hearing what Captain Liu said, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

Just as he said himself.

He actually doesn't know how ordinary people live.

Although he also saw many soldiers in the military camp at that time also want to cultivate land and grow crops.

But at that time he felt that the way soldiers grew food was different from that of ordinary people.

Even many of the things he came into contact with were different from what he discovered when he interacted with ordinary people.

Although there were military households, they were actually ordinary people.

However, their lifestyles are different.

While the military households had to farm, they also had an urge to go to the battlefield to fight.

All they talk about all their lives is how to rush up and stab the enemy to death with one blow, and then achieve great success.

Under the influence of his surroundings, Wang Dahai's thinking is completely different from that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people just want to live a stable life all their lives.

All I have spent my whole life thinking about is how much food my land can produce.

All he cares about all his life is his wife, children, and the elderly, whether they have enough to eat, etc.

At least he never had to go hungry while in the army.

At least the court had to ensure that the soldiers had enough food to eat, even if other situations occurred. Otherwise, no one would fight, which was a particularly big problem.

Therefore, he never enjoyed being hungry.

It is precisely because of this that he finds it hard to imagine that those ordinary people can't even have enough food to eat because they have to farm all day long.

Because of this, even when he sees these ordinary people being exploited by the local rich people, he finds it difficult to empathize with them.

But for some reason, after listening to Captain Liu's words, he actually started to think about this problem.

Wang Dahai looked at the people who were arguing below and suddenly said, "Actually, when I saw them, it reminded me that this kind of thing had happened in our village before.

You also know that I grew up in the military.

For a short period of time, I was alone leading hundreds of people in a village.

At that time, we had to take care of the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of the common people.

We must allow them to grow crops without being afraid of us, and produce more food to feed us soldiers.

At that time, I didn’t understand why the common people attached so much importance to the so-called land.

Even though they have always said that these lands produce too little food.

Even though they kept complaining that we soldiers ate too much of their food.

But they don't seem to blame the land for not being able to grow food.

Just as they were not complaining about why their descendants could not study in private schools like the rich people, then take the imperial examinations, and then change their destiny.

But now when I see the group of people below, I realize that what I knew was so ridiculous.

In fact, they have always been thinking about change.

In fact, every common people was thinking about sending their children and grandchildren to private schools.

Then earn some fame and become an official, even if it is a small official, it will bring honor to the family.

It seems that I was really naive at that time. In fact, ordinary people have always been thinking about this problem, but they just have no way to realize it. "

What Wang Dahai said was indeed the truth.

Because which of the common people doesn't think so?

Ordinary people have actually always been thinking this way, but why can't it be realized?

Because ordinary people are very realistic.

The common people understand that no matter how much they think, what can it do?

No matter how much you think about it, it will only become a joke in the mouths of others.

Oftentimes, common people would be extremely envious when they saw the descendants of wealthy families studying in private schools so that they could take the imperial examinations in the future.

I also thought about sending my own children in, but there was no way.

The children in the family need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and there are so many mouths in the family who need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, so someone must do the work.

It is even necessary for everyone to work together, otherwise there will be no way to feed so many people, otherwise everyone will starve, or they will have to watch their family members starve to death one by one.

This is the reality.

This reality is not that they don't want to change, but that they are simply unable to change it.

At that moment, perhaps those ordinary people were desperate.

They despairingly discovered that no matter how hard they tried, their lives would end up like this.

No matter how hard I try, there always seems to be a ceiling above my head, making it impossible for me to break through.

This is the reality.

This reality is the most despairing.

I clearly know that I have the ability to take a step forward, and I clearly know that I want to take a step forward, but that wall is always there like a transparent thing blocking me. This is reality...
