Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

This curious question was asked by Cheng Huaiyuan, the son of An Nanhou, and it somewhat meant why he should not eat minced meat.

Although he had suffered with Liu Wu for so long, he did not find it difficult to eat because everyone supported each other.

But this issue, in front of a group of farmers, craftsmen, merchants and soldiers, this is simply something that can no longer be understood.

However, Liu Wu is still willing to answer it.

"Huaiyuan, do you know who owns the land, mountains, and rivers in this world?"

Cheng Huaiyuan thought for a while and replied: "The land, mountains, and rivers in this world originally belonged to the emperor. But in the future, they must belong to the common people."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Wu was stunned, and then he praised in his heart:

"Pretty brother, these words are the end of the story."

It's just that what he said is not correct, but it is correct.

It is correct because it is a legal answer.

It's not true because it's the actual answer.

However, before Liu Wu could explain, Cheng Huaiyuan clapped his hands and said:

"I understand, brother. The reason why those villagers don't have enough to eat is not because they don't work hard, nor is it because the officers, soldiers, Bai Lian, and bandits took turns robbing them."

"The fundamental reason is the problem of the emperor and the court. It is the reason why they do not implement benevolent government, but implement tyranny, regardless of the life and death of the people in the world."

"As for why the villagers don't fish, it's because these rivers belong to the emperor, and the fish in the rivers also belong to the emperor, so they don't dare to do so even if the imperial court doesn't let them."

These remarks really shocked Liu Wu.

However, what he said is not correct, or it is just a slight flaw in this issue.

Liu Wu shook his head and said, "Huaiyuan, what you said is very good, but the real situation is more than that."

"You said that because the imperial court doesn't allow them to fish, they don't dare to fish anymore?"

"You know, if a person is hungry and crazy, he will dare to do anything. Kill officials and rebel, plunder everywhere, and dare not do anything. How can he dare not go fishing?"

Cheng Huaiyuan was a little confused and asked, "Then what's going on?"

Liu Wu explained: "The direction of your thinking just now is not wrong, but the person you are thinking about is wrong."

"Although these lands, mountains, and rivers legally belong to the emperor, so much so that they are regarded as royal lands in the world. But in fact, most of these places are owned by officials, gentry, and big families."

"Many arable fields are controlled by many landowners, gentry, and officials. Because of the laws of Daqian and because they themselves are officials, they do not need to conceal the food they turn over."

"But Daqian needs food and money."

"How to do?"

"It's very simple, just collect it from the common people."

"What will be the consequences of this?"

"I tell you, because of the huge taxes, the common people sold and abandoned their fields, and then they were annexed by many landowners, gentry, officials, and big families."

"The result is that the court finds that there is less and less land that can be cultivated and turned over for food, so it can only gradually increase taxes."

"At the same time, those subordinate officials also have many crooked ways of eating food, which makes it difficult for the people to survive, so they sell their fields and abandon them."

"This is how things go in cycles in this world."

"There are more and more poor people, and they have to sell themselves into slavery, or go to the mountains to become thieves, or like the White Lotus sect, they gather together to revolt."

"Places that are difficult to cultivate, such as mountains and rivers, are controlled by many powerful families."

"They do not lack money and food, nor do they lack slaves. Therefore, they do not allow the poor people to cut down and collect trees for firewood, nor allow the poor people to open up wasteland to grow food, nor do they allow them to hunt prey in the mountains and forests, or catch fish and shrimps in the rivers. .”

"They have huge power and have knives in their hands. How dare many poor people do these things."

"In the eyes of those people, the lives of ordinary people are not as valuable as a grasshopper in their home."

"As for the villages in the southeastern part of Hetu Mountain, before we came, do you think there was really no one ruling here?"

"I'm telling you, there is!"

"It's just because we are strong that the villagers dare not report us."

"In addition, the big families don't like this output, so no one cares about it."

"But this is what we armed people dare to do. If a villager wants to do these things, do you believe that his brothers may report him in order to become a slave?"

"How... how... how is it possible?" Cheng Huaiyuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded at Liu Wu's explanation. This was really unbelievable.

He has seen those villagers, they are all very simple people, and they also maintain family friendship. They don't look like people who would do such a thing.

In response, Liu Wu shook his head and said: "This does not mean that all ordinary people are like this. Such people exist whether they are ordinary people or officials and gentry."

"In comparison, among these people, the officials and gentry are more harmful."

In response, Cheng Huaiyuan stuttered and asked: "Is it because of these reasons that the villagers don't go fishing for food? Aren't they afraid of starving to death?"

Liu Wu asked directly: "Then they haven't starved to death yet?"

"But...but...but when he is about to starve to death, he will no longer have the strength to catch fish. Doesn't he know this?"

Liu Wu nodded and said: "That's it. Those big families use this method to starve them to death. Besides, do you think he doesn't know?"

"I'm telling you, these people who are starving to death know that it's just a matter of luck. They feel that they can bear it for a while, and it will be fine if they are hungry for a while. Then they will wake up when they can't bear it anymore. Why didn't they realize it in the first place? If you go fishing to eat, you will die anyway.”

"If they caught fish and ate it when they were extremely hungry, and then were reported, do you think a person who has been hungry for a long time would be able to escape or resist?"

"In this way, this person will be killed to scare the monkeys, which will make others afraid to fish."

"These! These are the ruling methods commonly used by those families, and they are also the ruling methods often used by the imperial court. Look, are there great similarities between the two?"

Cheng Huaiyuan opened his mouth and spat: "Bah! Those who bully the weak and fear the strong!"

Then, he asked a question that he was very concerned about.

"Brother, do you think my family is like this too?"

Liu Wu smiled and said: "I don't know. Although Annanhou's family is strict, no one can guarantee that this kind of thing has not happened. Although Annanhou will not, what about other people? What about those who cling to Annanhou? Do you think they can? You must know that they are not your servants or the like."

Cheng Huaiyuan nodded thoughtfully, he understood that this was the right thing to do, this was the evil in human nature.

And a group of students were also greatly shocked. It seemed that their original view was too one-sided. They really thought that as long as the officials were honest and honest, the people of the world would be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and China would never be bullied again.

No wonder Liu Wu proposed Young China and threatened to reform the destiny.

From Liu Wu's words, they vaguely heard what he really meant.

Master Rao swallowed his saliva and asked, "Xuanyu, if this is the case, what should we do?"

Liu Wu pondered for a while and said: "All land and resources will be returned to the state."

"Crack!"

These words were like thunder and lightning, and everyone's brains were rumbling.

Just listen to Lu Shu ask: "If this is the case, doesn't it mean that everything from legal to practical terms belongs to the royal family?"

Liu Wu shook his head and said: "I mean state-owned, not privately owned. Any individual or family member is privately owned, including the royal family and the emperor."

"In my opinion, whether they are farmers, craftsmen, businessmen, officials, or emperors, they all have different responsibilities. Although there are differences in status, in terms of personality, everyone is the same, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. .”

"Only in this way can everyone be like a dragon, and China can last forever and stand on the top of the world forever."

At this time, some people's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they seemed to have thought of a word.

‘The world is public and the world is unified. ’

It turns out that this is the true destiny of reform.
