People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 449 Can ordinary people be so proud and conceited?
As for Guo Feixue's reputation, many ordinary people have actually heard about it.

Although Guo Feixue herself feels that she doesn't have much ability and doesn't think that the things she has done are great.

I don’t think that the things I do must be remembered by others.

Many times they thought that everything they did might be for the purpose of making the White Lotus Sect's reputation better in the southeast.

Many times, it is just to fulfill the moral obligations that people in the martial arts world should have.

Why are people from the underworld called people from the underworld?

Who doesn’t want to live in a stable place?
Who doesn’t think about his wife still being at home?
But why do you want to wander around the world?

Why do you want to wander around the world with your family?

Because life was not good, there was no way to make a living.

It is precisely because I am not living a good life that I cannot bear to see others living a bad life.

It's just like the saying goes, I wasn't living a good life myself, but I just couldn't bear to see others living worse off than me.

Sometimes I just want to lend a hand.

Sometimes we just don’t want to see the people affected by disasters starve to death or freeze to death.

They will do anything they can, they are the people of the world.

Jianghu has never been about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

The world of martial arts is never filled with those high-ranking heroes, but rather with ordinary craftsmen and small businessmen who make a living by walking through the streets and alleys.

Who would abandon their family's land and wander around unless they were forced to do so?
Which of the disciples of the White Lotus Sect did not come this way?

Therefore, I can better understand the difficulties faced by ordinary people, and of course I am willing to help more during this process.

Guo Feixue has always felt that this is her identity.

As for how great he was, or that she helped the common people just to make them remember her kindness, she had never thought about such things.

At that time, these things were done simply because we couldn't bear to see the common people suffer.

So it is quite surprising that it is still so well remembered by ordinary people today.

She is a free and easy person by nature, but now that she has such a reputation, she sometimes feels that it is a burden.

Because you won't be able to be free and easy in the future.

Because many people will definitely say behind your back that as a well-known figure in the world, you can't be so jumpy, you should be more stable so that it fits your identity.

Although Guo Feixue has such concerns, she is actually very satisfied with her current life.

In the past, she always felt that she was not as good as Princess Ning'an in officialdom.

Not as good as Sophia in career.

Even in terms of martial arts, he is not as good as An Youniang.

I am inferior to Chen Han in every way, so I always feel like I am holding him back.

But now when she came to the southeast, after receiving so much recognition from officials, people in the underworld, and the common people, she cherished this opportunity even more.

I feel that I should do more to make the people remember me.

Even if these things were done with the help of Chen Han's reputation and the foundation laid by Princess Ning'an.

But if you can add icing on the cake in this process, wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing.

Guo Feixue had this in mind, so she worked so hard that she even forgot the original intention of coming to Southeast.

What she told Sophia at that time was that since Princess Ning'an needed us in the southeast, we should go, and we should make her understand when we go.

Not only has she achieved some results in the southeast, we have also achieved brilliant results in Beijing. You must not underestimate us young people.

Don't think that you can get carried away just because the Duke trusts you. We are also trusted by the Duke.

Only in this way can Princess Ning'an restrain herself and not think that she is the most powerful person in the world.

But after coming here, she realized that she had actually thought too much about all this.

Princess Ning An didn't have the energy to think about those things, and she had never even thought about going against herself and Sophia.

Everyone is thinking about how to make people's lives better and how to make people remember the good things about the Duke.

It will enable every citizen to feel the benefits of reform.

It can even change people's views on officialdom.

Especially after the Duke's change in the officialdom's views, the people should know that those corrupt officials in the officialdom have now restrained themselves one by one under the Duke's thunder.

Even if they have such thoughts in their hearts, they can only keep a low profile now.

This is what Princess Ning'an is doing now.

That's why she now wonders if she's being petty.

Even if the Duke respects Princess Ning'an in his heart, it is as he should.

Especially after coming here, I found that Princess Ning'an managed this place so well. She took root of the huge Ming Bank in Ningbo Prefecture, and also set up one stronghold after another in the surrounding areas to connect them into one.

Such an achievement can be applauded no matter where it is placed.

Even as a woman, you have to admire such an achievement.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty was not very friendly towards women.

Everyone thinks that women should take care of their husbands and children and stay at home without going out.

Especially those women who live in seclusion, they should abide by the code of conduct for women, never think they are so powerful, never show their faces in public, and should stay under the roof all their lives.

Princess Ning'an changed her mind after arriving in Ningbo. Many of the unwilling gentlemen in Ningbo Prefecture now realized that they had indeed done something wrong before.

It turns out that women can do many things that men simply cannot do, and it turns out that women can clearly distinguish between right and wrong.

So now Princess Ning'an has even become a role model for some women who want to pursue a career. They have seen that they can not only take care of their husbands and children, but they can also realize their own dreams.

Each of them seemed to feel the budding of my thoughts.

When she came here before, she was still thinking about how to deal with Princess Ning An.

So after knowing all this, Guo Feixue actually felt very guilty.

That is why I am working so hard to complete the task entrusted by Princess Ning An.

Princess Ning'an actually likes the little girl Guo Feixue very much. Although she is a little willful, she is smart, cute and really knows how to do things.

Even in the East, this area has a better reputation than its own.

If a man of the underworld can gain such a reputation and be praised by the government, the underworld and the people, he is definitely a rare talent, which is something that many women cannot achieve.

But now, after the common people spoke out about this admirable woman, people in the same village had some opinions.

"Old Li, don't talk so well of you. To be honest, we certainly believe that the Saint is a good person. She has done a lot of good things for our southeastern area. We have also heard a lot about her good deeds, but we have to understand that even such a good person and good deeds, won't she do foolish things?"

When it comes to this, many people expressed their agreement.

Many villagers said, "The current saint girl has married the Duke and is his woman. Although the Duke has done many good things, he is still an official after all.

We don’t know what they are thinking, and we have even less idea how things will change in the future.

So it is better to take a look first, and don’t blindly believe what the government has issued now.

What is even more unbelievable is that the people who said this were those gangsters who came out to promote them.

Do you think you can believe it? I don’t really believe it.

I only trust what I get.”

The villagers are still very realistic and they will not believe what the government verbally promotes.

Just like what I said just now, they don’t believe in verbal promises, they only believe in what they get, which is actually the money they get.

This does not mean that they have no vision, nor does it mean that they cannot see that if this is the attitude, it will definitely offend those who want to make them better.

This is a practical problem. Ordinary people depend on the weather for their livelihood and never believe in so-called promises. They prefer to put their money in pocket and feel safe.

It is estimated that many officials have promised something in the past, such as promising to reduce taxes in the future, and promising to less frequently levy corvee labor in the future.

But, did you do it?

Or maybe one official did it, but the next official is unwilling to do it.

Every official was either poor or greedy, and everyone wanted to leave something or get something.

Some officials left behind praise from the people of the city, while others left behind a mess.

Some officials gained fame, while others gained wealth.

Therefore, ordinary people no longer dare to believe what officials say, but instead believe in what they get.

But when this was said, some people immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

Some even got angry and said, "Where is your conscience when you say such things?

The Duke is still fighting the Japanese overseas. I heard that the gold and silver were transported from the Japanese and then immediately arrived at the Ming Bank.

There are many people in our village who deposit their money in Daming Bank to earn interest. How did they do that?

Isn’t it just that the Duke won the battle and fought hard to get here?
Now you actually say this about others, can you live with your conscience?"

But even though some people lowered their heads and felt embarrassed after hearing this, there were still people who stood up and said:
"We certainly don't blindly think that what the Duke did was wrong, nor do we think that what he said was wrong. In fact, his woman has done so many good things in Ningbo Prefecture, and we are grateful in our hearts.

But we have to face a reality. If we let those scoundrels publicize such a big thing, who would believe it? "

This really hits the nail on the head.

The reason why people don't believe it is that in everyone's eyes, these gangsters are just people who walk around the streets and have no land or property.

If they had an estate, they would not have ended up here in a foreign land.

Such people's credibility is not enough.

How can ordinary people believe it so easily?
Besides, this matter is so big that everyone thinks it is a fairy tale after hearing it.

There is no such good thing.

After all, such a good thing has never happened since ancient times.

Every emperor who came to power would say that all the land under heaven belongs to the king.

Those were all the emperor's own lands. How could the government give money to the people?

After all, the land you are farming belongs to the emperor. If the emperor asks you to give it up, you must give it up. If you don’t, it will be like rebellion and you will be beheaded.

Now, someone comes to you and tells you that you can get compensation after the land is occupied. What do you think?
Do I want my head or my money?
Think about it, the brain is more important. If you lose money, you can earn it again, but if you lose your brain, it is really gone.

When you think about this, this is what everyone thinks.

We can still earn money if we lose it, but how can we earn money if we lose our life?

It’s better not to worry about these things.

People in the underworld have no credibility to begin with, so it's really ridiculous that they come here to fool us.

You guys are living like that, yet you still care about us. Don't you think it's a bit ironic?

No matter how bad our lives are, relatively speaking we are still a little better off than you guys.

At least we can live and work in peace and contentment in the local area, and at least we have food to eat, but you guys haven't even figured out your next meal after finishing your last one.

This is what the common people think. They don’t look down on those gangsters from the beginning.

Even if some people in the underworld have done many great things, this is only a low-probability event.

For example, Guo Feixue, it is because of a small chance event that everyone can remember her good points.

If everyone could do what Guo Feixue did, wouldn't the world be peaceful?

There wouldn't be so much sadness and separation.

So when ordinary people think of this, of course they won’t believe it.

It was the same old man Li who said, "You guys really don't know what's good for you. People have introduced some good national policies to make our lives better, but you don't believe this or that.

When others exploit us, you feel it is too painful.

So what should the government do?

The government has come up with a better strategy, so that every family can get more compensation if their fields and land are occupied, so that they can survive.

You can even choose some better fields and land from other government properties for exchange. This would be the best arrangement.

But you don't believe it.

It is said that people in the underworld have no credibility.

But Guo Feixue is also a man of the underworld. When they pulled so much rice and flour to Wenzhou Prefecture for disaster relief, no one thought that people of the underworld were untrustworthy.

No one thinks that their life is better than that of the people in the underworld.

People in the underworld can be divided into different categories. Some of them do live in poverty, but some of them are free and easy and are no worse than us.

Why do we look down on people when we hear the word "jianghu people"?

Can we, as ordinary people, be so arrogant?"

Old Li is old, and he was actually very angry when he heard this...
