1072 What is equality?

The people who can stand here to participate in this New Year's banquet have more or less received the influence of Western studies, especially Xiao Letian's journey to the west, which is a must-see classic for them.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the slogan of equality of all people is shouted, but it is strange that this slogan is in conflict with the previous Chinese order.

Xiao Letian saw Mike Carnegie standing in the VIP viewing area at a glance, this is Xiao Letian's old friend in the storm on the sea back then, if Xiao Lotian hadn't saved his life, Mike would have fed the sharks a long time ago.

It was Mike's matchmaking that allowed the American steel group Carnegie and the Ryukyus to establish a deep cooperative relationship, and the Carnegie Steel Company was in its infancy during this period, and there was no domineering spirit in the period of total victory, so they cherished the opportunity to make money given by Xiao Letian very much.

The Tanggu Iron and Steel Plant has now become the most advanced steel company in Asia, and can even cast some super-heavy machinery builds, and its subordinate machinery processing plant has also begun to put into production.

And all this is inseparable from Mike's efforts!

"Dear old friend Mike, why do you want to stop talking? You are an old friend of the Ryukyus, of course you have the right to ask questions, and I am willing to answer you patiently......"

Mike walked out of the crowd and bowed slightly, "Dear Shaw, I am really amazed at your Chinese nationality, you are a good politician, your eyes do not stop at superficial technology, army, weapons and equipment, and money...... You have already begun to think about the nation, the state, and so on with the thinking of a philosopher!"

"I'm not flattering you, I think that if the Chinese Order can be promoted, it will be as significant to Asia as the American Declaration of Independence, and even less than the British Magna Carta!"

"At first, I heard about the six lords and eighteen other systems in the Chinese order, and I thought it was a constitutional monarchy similar to that of European countries...... But then you proclaimed the Equality of All Peoples, which is a little puzzling to me?"

Mike shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "First of all, I want to state in advance that I have no resistance to the constitutional monarchy, and I also respect the aristocrats of Europe, but I am an American after all, and I believe in thorough freedom and democracy! God loves all peoples, all people are equal, there is no aristocracy in the United States, and the United States has abolished slave......ry."

"I remember when I talked to the prime minister before, didn't you also very much agree with the abolition of slavery in the United States? This is a little strange to me, since you started drawing from scratch on a blank piece of paper, why don't you skip the constitutional monarchy, skip the aristocracy, and go straight to the more progressive democracy?"

Mike spread his hands and asked, "Isn't it a contradiction to promote the equality of all people on the one hand, and to engage in a system of six lords and eighteen on the other?"

"It is also paradoxical that since you have chosen the aristocratic system, why do you want to abolish the highest level of the nobility?

Mike's question was actually the question of more than ninety percent of the people present, except for some core executives who knew the Chinese order in advance, the rest of the people were confused.

Bang Bang Bang ...... Xiao Lotian applauded lightly: "The question is very good, you Americans just dare to raise sensitive issues, unlike Asian officials, who have to think about every word for a long time, ink, really ink!"

Xiao Lotian laughed and said, "Do you think that is a contradiction? But in my eyes, it is not a contradiction, but a kind of harmony, if you want to understand this, you have to figure out what kind of fairness we want!"

"Are all men equal? I think all men are created equal! There is no doubt about this, and there is nothing wrong with that! But the so-called equality actually means that the little bit of spirituality or soul that people are reincarnated into this world is equal, and the original nature of human beings is of course equal!"

"Human nature is equal, can it be said that social sex must be equal? I regret to answer everyone, it is not equal!" Xiao Letian sighed and said, "We can't choose our origins, and we can't control the fate of childhood and childhood.

"Some people are born healthy and intelligent, and some people are born disabled and stupid, is this also equality? Of course, it is not an equal ......."

"There is nothing we can do about innate inequality, because that is the arrangement of fate! But is the behavior of acquired people in society, that is, those who can make their own decisions, equal?"

"Everyone has their own outlook on life and values, everyone also has their own moral code of belief, and everyone chooses a different path in life. How can a natural lazy man who refuses to study, refuse, work, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, while the other person, who has joined the Marine Corps and the Navy, has distinguished himself in battle, is covered with scars, and is enthusiastic about charity and strict with himself after being discharged from the army, how can these two people enjoy the same treatment?"

"If these two kinds of people are forcibly equalized, it is the greatest injustice to human nature!"

Xiao Letian looked at the people around him with serious eyes and said coldly.

"People can't be separated from society, everything you do in this society, every behavior is entangled in your life path! And different people, their path is deviated, and this deviation causes inequality!"

"Do those who do evil want to have the same rights as those who are good and righteous? Should those who sacrifice and give be treated the same as those who are selfish? If our society becomes like that, then what motivates people to forge ahead and pursue their own high morals?"

A series of questions made the people around him speechless and fell silent, Mike nodded, "I understand what you mean, the Chinese order pursues the equality of human nature and human rights, and definitely not the equality of treatment! The noble word of the so-called aristocracy represents the noble behavior of that person!"

"Because he has made great contributions to this society, because he has created the well-being of all peoples, and he has influenced the people with high morals...... This kind of behavior is the noble word of the nobility!"

"I see, you abolished the emperor and the superstitious idea of the king's power from heaven, but in fact what you abolished was a decadent and declining concept of aristocracy! The traditional aristocracy is valued in bloodline, official position, money, and power......

"And the nobles you want to promote, Prime Minister, should be the kind of selfless, dedicated, brave to take responsibility, benefit all people, and protect the country...... Thank you for your doubts!"

This time Mike bowed respectfully, took a step back and returned to the crowd, no more questions.

Buzzing, the crowd was talking louder and louder, and after a while, a timid voice suddenly came from the VIP area, "I...... Can I ask a question?"

When people looked back, it was actually a chubby cattle shopkeeper from all over the world.
