419 Above freedom, there is no value
As a result, the performance of the Han tenant slaves on the Nicole immediately became a hot topic of discussion.
"By the way, I also heard that in the end, it was Ren Kewei and Hong who took the whip and whipped hard to complete the quarantine ......."
"So I agree with Brother Xu's point of view, these Han people can't immediately give them land as free people after they go home!"
"What do you mean! We're all compatriots! Maybe it's your ancestors! You can't bear to continue to let these Han people continue to be slaves!? β
"Your ancestors are only overseas! The ancestors of labor and management have a family tree! Nima has always been on the mainland and has never been to the sea! β
"Alright, don't make any noise!"
"No, listen to me, Brother Xu's suggestion is to use redemption to let the Han people get land, let this group of people work for us for a few years first, and then settle down to become a freeman in the Australian Federation, hey! This is Brother Xu's suggestion, don't stare at me with your eyes! β
"How do you feel dΓ©jΓ vu?"
"Whether it's dΓ©jΓ vu or not, the Han people are willing, not to mention that I rush to the foot of these people who toast and don't eat and drink, and I also think that Brother Xu's suggestion is really good!"
"It seems to be right, for these superior slaves, you can't completely treat them as normal people with independent personalities, because if you are good to him, he will kick your nose in the face, if you treat him badly, he will immediately become a turtle with a shrunken head, the lower the person, the more virtuous ......"
"Won't it?"
"People can't be so despicable, can they?"
"Who says you can't? Just look at how it is written in the Book of Shang Jun......"
"Peng Qiang, what's written in the book? Listen to your mouth every day! β
"Go and see what is written! There are all in the library and reference room, in a word, the monarchs all believe that for the low-level people, it is better to be a frightening and frightening master than to be a beloved and liked master, because the latter can more effectively rule the foolish people! β
Peng responded in a loud voice.
"Listening to what Peng Qiang said, it seems to remind me, I remember that a certain historical figure in the old world also said something similar, what is called a beloved ruler is not as great as a feared ruler, it seems to mean this......"
At this time, Yue Chu also interjected to agree with Peng Qiang's statement.
"Who?"
"A foreigner...... I admire this one more, because obviously this person has not read the "Book of Shang Jun", and this feeling is his own ......"
"What do you mean by keeping the status of this group of Han tenants unchanged?"
"Yes, we can save a lot of things this way, you know, it is very difficult to change a person's worldview, and it seems that it is not beneficial for us to change it......"
"I'm against it! Peng Qiang, is this still the same you used to be? You said your ideal is to build an equal society! β
Someone in the crowd immediately retorted.
"No, I mean that for those who are willing to be equal, only give equality, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be chaos......"
However, Peng Qiang was a little unconfident when he said these words.
"If you want me to say, don't you still have children! As soon as these children go home, they will enter the school and immediately obtain Australian citizenship, without any points to settle in that set! β
At this time, Zhou Rui suggested.
"Well, it seems that Brother Xu's suggestion also has this ......"
At this time, Yue Chu next to him suddenly said faintly, we also have to be careful of this group of tenant slaves, people's hearts are in danger, don't be too naΓ―ve......
Everyone looked at Yue Chu together after hearing this, and someone jokingly said, Yue Chu, you just turned twenty, right? These words came out of your mouth, and it felt so disagreeable, you were afraid that you were not souled by some old guy in the old world, right?
However, Yue Chu didn't care, he said, I'll tell you a story, after listening, please think about what to do......
So everyone suddenly listened quietly to a story from General Yue Chu:
It is said that in the era of the reign of a certain holy lord in the Qing Dynasty, there were two rich people in Mengshannan County in the East China Sea, one was benevolent and righteous, and the other was not benevolent and righteous, but there was no evil.
In a certain year, there was a locust plague, and there was no harvest in the field, so the rich man of the Renyi family opened a warehouse to help the surrounding villagers, and the one who was not very evil also opened a warehouse, but it was to borrow grain, and the interest was calculated, and it was said that there was no surplus grain in his own house, so the Renyi family received rave reviews.
However, in the second year, it was a drought and no harvest, so the villagers found two wealthy main grains, and as a result, the Renyi family because of the warehouse opened last year, the result was that there was really no surplus grain at home, and they couldn't take it out, and the host felt that he had always been benevolent, so he was not afraid of the villagers' dissatisfaction, so he refused.
But the folks definitely don't believe it, what is the result?
As a result, a group of hungry people rushed into the unsuspecting big family of benevolence and righteousness, and robbed the house of benevolence and righteousness, and since then the house of benevolence and righteousness has been defeated, and the rich man who has no name of benevolence and righteousness, because of the strict precautions, sent the family to strictly guard against it, and the hungry people could not move, and after a few people died, they retreated to rob other rich people.
You see, this is the way we have to face!
This world is so real and unforgiving!
Therefore, to do good, it depends on the dishes of others! Not everyone deserves to be treated kindly!
I'm done with what I'm talking about, so brothers, let's think about it and make suggestions......
In the silence of everyone, Li Sanduo walked over, he gently patted Yue Chu on the shoulder and said, Brother, where did you know this story? Is it a history book? Yue Chu lowered his head and responded:
"It's not a history book, this story was told to me by my father a few days before my eighteenth birthday, it was the last time we had a face-to-face conversation, oh, to tell you, this story is about what happened to our Yue family's ancestors, that family of benevolence and righteousness, is my father's great-great-grandfather......"
When everyone heard this, the cabin became quieter, because everyone found that Yue Chu suddenly became very depressed at this time, and he just sat in the corner and bowed his head silently.
"What, the matter of Han tenants and slaves, you really have to be cautious......"
Someone in the crowd whispered.
"Yes, under the thousand-year-old imperial autocracy, the low-level people have been consciously cultivated into despicable people, because this is very conducive to the emperor's rule, alas......"
Speaking of this, Zhu Beiguo also sighed.
"So don't force it!"
"Freedom is not given by anyone, at least it is wanted by those who are given!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Since these people don't want freedom, let's give it when they want it. β
"Isn't that right? After all...... It seems to be because people have a misunderstanding about us, right? β
"yes, who doesn't want freedom? Human nature is free! Fear of freedom is nothing more than the acquired ** and bondage! β
"I'm afraid that one of us will be careless, and then these people will ......"
"Not really, right?"
"In this world, nothing is not enough, anything is possible, so we have to be careful, it's best not to send too many people home at once!"
"Yes, let's go to sea, leaving a group of old and weak and women at home, think about it carefully, it's really not at ease."
"So don't give these Han tenants too much freedom, and we should be stricter in normal times!"
"Stern is severe, but don't be too ......"
"It's good to stop everything in moderation, and learn about the golden mean!"
"I think in the end, we should give these Han people freedom ......"
"That's right, what are we going to do to make money? After all, isn't it just about being able to be free and happy? β
"Yes, above freedom, there is no value, who said this?"
So, in this way, everyone was in a hurry, and finally talked about how to deal with the Han tenants from business, and at this moment, the crowd did not know that the topic had completely deviated, so all kinds of discussions started again.
However, in the end, everyone argued, and it seemed that Xu Zhi's suggestion was still approved by the majority, and Xu Zhi's opinion of "points settlement" to be free prevailed.
"Hey, hey! Have you said enough? When discussing business, you know that the building is crooked! β
Someone in the crowd suddenly remembered that the purpose of the group now gathering was to discuss business with Sulu, not a method of resettlement of Han Chinese tenant slaves.
"Two brothers, tell me what you think of this business? What do you think of the price? β
Someone in the crowd finally got back to the point and asked.
"Well...... Things have to be told to Captain Gu before they can be decided, right? β
Zhu Beiguo put down the other paper scroll and said to everyone with both hands.
"Hey! By the way, Brother Zhu, what is that document you have been looking at just now? β
Someone finally saw another document in Zhu Beiguo's hand.
"This is the peace treaty, the draft peace between the State of Sulu and the Commonwealth of Australia...... Ladies and gentlemen, we've been traveling for more than two years, and I think we're finally about to start influencing the history of the New World......"
