People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 568 The scholar discovered in despair that all this was a conspiracy!
What I didn’t expect is that now these ordinary people seem to have found a backer all of a sudden.

I no longer have any respect for these scholars.

Instead, I only thought about how to take revenge on them.

At this time they were a little panicked.

Because if they continue like this, not only will they lose their status, they may even lose their lives.

At that time, no one would redress their grievances or do anything.

A very simple truth is before them.

That is, no matter who comes to power, it seems that these educated people like them will not be able to get any great benefits.

If this is the case, scholars must be very careful.

Because in this process, many people may stand up and hit the scholars directly with a club, and they will not even know how they died.

The most important thing is that even if you die, no one will seek justice for you, and no one will feel pity for you.

Because at that time, one's own identity will no longer seem so important.

There won't even be those landlords who would feel sorry for themselves because they have a dog.

Yes, a dog.

Although scholars are reluctant to say such things, they are indeed just dogs serving the landlords.

Although they all actually earn quite a lot, they all think they are quite important.

After all, we have to come up with some ideas to help those landlords who are exploiting the common people.

At the same time, they also need to decorate their facades.

But a scholar is indeed just a dog.

No matter how proud they are, in the eyes of those landlords, they are just dispensable dogs.

But even if it is just a dog, those landlords will still try to redress its so-called grievances because they have some role to play.

But the common people would not do that. The scholars became extremely panicked when they thought of this.

Number Three no longer wanted to play tricks on these people. The most important thing now was to do this job well and give a good explanation to Xia Yuanji.

After all, this is a rare opportunity for me to carry out a mission alone.

If this matter can be handled well, maybe I can get a lot of rewards from the Duke and others.

So No. 3 stood up and said, "Okay, although we don't like the scholars here, because none of you have ever thought about how to use your knowledge to make the lives of ordinary people better.

But what you guys said is right. Even if the Ming Dynasty took control of this place, it would be impossible for us to bring out so many scholars and officials to govern here in an instant. Maybe we have to rely on you. "

The common people were panicked when they heard this.

Just now they said they wanted to take revenge on those scholars.

If these people were really used by the Ming Dynasty, then wouldn't it mean that they already knew his purpose and would retaliate against him severely?

They must even think about which ordinary people they have offended in the past?
I will definitely deal with those enemies in time.

If this is the case, then those ordinary people who have a grudge against them will be in danger.

The common people were not happy with this.

Immediately, some people shouted, "You can't do this, General Liu, you can't do this. If this is the case, how are we going to survive?

If these people gain a little power, they will definitely retaliate against us. What should we do?
Are we going to be killed by them one by one?

You also said before that the Ming Dynasty came here to make life better for us common people, and not to let these scholars live such a good life. "

The common people were really panicked at this moment.

If it is really as No. 3 said, these scholars would have to use them because the Ming Dynasty could not send so many officials to garrison here at once.

Then he and others would definitely face very serious retaliation.

There is even a high possibility that you will be killed by these people.

When the common people think of such tragic consequences, they are not willing to do this.

"If that's the case, then you might as well just kill your own people right now. How can you do this?"

"How could the Ming Dynasty do this? Do they really want to play with us like monkeys?"

"Is it fun to toss and turn and play with us here?"

When I think about this, many ordinary people are still very angry.

Some people even said directly: "General, if this is really the case, you should just not carry out any reforms or anything.

Just like before, you replace those landlords, you become the landlord, you become the city lord, and then these scholars become your running dogs, which will be more convenient for you.

Why do we need to carry out any reforms here or come up with anything to deceive us? It is totally unnecessary.

If that's the case, we should just leave. Why should we stay here? We will just die anyway."

When they talked about this, they all became very angry.

To be honest, they were very annoyed by the repeated changes of No. 3 and No. 4, but they had no way to refute anything now.

Scholars now dare not be so happy.

Especially since they didn't know whether No. 3 and No. 4 were serious about what they had just said.

Although they were secretly happy in their hearts, they did not dare to show it.

Because if No. 3 comes up with another decision later, wouldn’t that mean he would be happy for nothing?
In fact, they are also very angry.

What on earth are you guys trying to do?
Why do you keep repeating yourself here, talking about this and that?

Sometimes it gives us hope, sometimes it gives the people hope, sometimes it makes the people very happy, and sometimes it makes the people very desperate.

Although we feel happy to see the people in this state, why do we also feel sad?

Because although we scholars cannot acquire as much knowledge as those scholars from the Central Plains in your Ming Dynasty, the books we read also tell us a truth - the lips and teeth are interdependent.

If these common people are played like monkeys by you Ming Dynasty people, how dare we disobey you even if you really let us become officials in the future?

You will definitely find ways to make us as embarrassed as that.

In this case, wouldn't we also look like monkeys? They don't know why the people of the Ming Dynasty were so powerful? Just a few words can arouse people's emotions, and even make everyone feel the dejection that their fate is not in their own hands.

This feeling makes people feel desperate.

The despair lies in never knowing what to do next.

You never know which direction your destiny will slide towards.

It was as if someone was holding his throat with a pair of large hands, making it difficult to breathe but unable to break free.

This is true for ordinary people, and it is also true for these scholars.

Even though there were scholars who were arguing with the common people just now, they seemed to be in opposition all of a sudden.

However, why can't the common people feel it? If they really oppose us scholars, the people of the Ming Dynasty will actually be the ones who benefit.

The people who came from the Ming Dynasty this time were very powerful. They took advantage of the hatred between the common people and the scholars and tried to sow discord among everyone.

This is something that anyone with knowledge can see.

Why can't ordinary people seem to see it?
Even at this time, everyone was short-sighted and believed that those scholars would really do something to them in the future.

This is not the case.

What would happen even if scholars gained rights?

We still have to obey the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what we do, they are actually just the actions of the Ming Dynasty.

If they don't even realize this, then the actions of the Ming Dynasty today would seem very successful.

When thinking about this, many scholars finally understood at this moment, no matter how they compete.

Regardless of whether they would go to a private school or take the imperial examination in the future, the plan of the Ming Dynasty people at this time was already very successful.

The people of the Ming Dynasty knew very well that even if they came to this land, it would be impossible for them to really send many Ming people here to rule.

Therefore, they were forced to use the local common people or scholars to rule this place.

But how can I make the common people or scholars obey me?
It is impossible to simply use the power of the weapons at hand to force the common people or scholars to obey.

Such obedience is only superficial and does not actually have a deep deterrent effect.

However, if the conflicts between the common people and the scholars, landlords and the powerful class can be properly stirred up, the common people will be more willing to side with the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty would win the hearts of the people through various reforms.

Even for scholars, if private schools were established so that they could take the imperial examinations and become officials, then they would definitely side with the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The real brilliance of the Ming Dynasty was to break away from and even become hostile to the former ruling class, and this was also what the Ming Dynasty really wanted to do.

After understanding this, the scholars at this time had nothing but admiration for the Ming Dynasty.

They knew that even if they understood, these conspiracies had already begun to be implemented and would be impossible to break.

Because everyone wants to get immediate benefits, and no one wants to be left behind.

It is because this idea of ​​not wanting to be left behind has been lingering in people's minds that the Ming Dynasty's conspiracy was able to be implemented so successfully. Even if many people realize that this is an open conspiracy, do you dare not compete?

If you dare not compete, countless people will do it.

Even though they knew that it was a conspiracy set up by the Ming Dynasty to make them dependent on the Ming Dynasty's rule.

But even if we know, what can we do?

In fact, when the Ming Dynasty set up this plan, they were not afraid that you would see through it.

Because there will be a lot of people willing to enter the cage set up by the Ming Dynasty.

It's because the ruling class here once treated the common people so badly.

Even if every common man understood this truth as well as these scholars and knew that this was a conspiracy, what would it matter?
People are willing to get into this cage.

We can only blame the short-sightedness of the ruling class at that time, who offended the common people just for the sake of a little immediate benefit.

It's strange that the Ming Dynasty was too powerful and they had the qualifications and strength to do everything well.

Setting up a cage like this makes the people very happy to get into it.

This is not the Ming Dynasty putting guns to the back of people's heads and forcing them to get into this cage.

It’s that the common people are willing to get into this cage, not that every one of them is extremely lowly.

It is because the former ruling class treated the common people like dogs.

Then of course the common people will choose to be human instead of being dogs as before.

Even though we know that the Ming Dynasty intends to destroy the culture and national character of this place, what can we do?

Ordinary people don't care about these things.

Ordinary people only care about whether they can have food to eat and whether they can be reunited with their wives and children.

I don’t care how you leaders think. This is a truly brilliant conspiracy.

This conspiracy was something that the common people could not refuse at all, and even the educated people who knew it was an open conspiracy could not refuse it.

Because scholars are actually ordinary people who come from scholars' family. Even if they know that this is an open conspiracy, they don't want to fall into this trap.

But when the Ming Dynasty established private schools and said that everyone could study in private schools and become officials, would the scholars dare not fall into this cage?

If scholars do not get into this cage, the consequence they will face is that the descendants of ordinary people will enter private schools.

After studying, taking the imperial examinations, achieving fame, and then becoming an official, they were taken to the execution ground and beheaded.

This is very simple logic.

The Ming Dynasty may have known long ago that the conflict between scholars and ordinary people was long-standing.

That's why such an irresistible conspiracy was set up.

This conspiracy is so powerful that it can force both scholars and ordinary people to choose no direction and can only choose one path.

The Ming Dynasty did not explicitly say that you can only enter my cage, but the Ming Dynasty used various pressures to tell the people and scholars that if you do not enter my cage, you will all be killed by the other side.

Is there any choice?
It seems like there is a choice, but in fact there is no choice.

After thinking about this, the scholars were actually very desperate...
