Chapter 332: King Qi's Theory
After the parade, the men were put in a prison specially prepared for them under the name of war criminals.
For such a far-reaching figure who has a profound impact on future generations, Yang Hao is reluctant to stab him.
While waiting for the return of the northern army, Yang Hao still put Xia Qi out of prison alone.
He was full of curiosity about such a character, and he wanted to know his inner thoughts about a king who was both the founder and the king of the dead, which was a very rare thing.
He wanted to record it and preserve it as a precious historical material for future generations to study.
As a former emperor, although Xia Qi was Yang Hao's opponent, Yang Hao still gave Xia Qi enough respect.
The prison where he is located is not extremely foul-smelling, and there is no shortage of food and clothing.
Therefore, the cultivation during this period of time has made Xia Qi's mental state much better.
The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other as if they hadn't seen each other in years.
After a long time, Yang Hao smiled and said, "Yang Hao, the monarch of Qi State, has seen Xia Houqi. ”
Xia Qi said expressionlessly: "You are the King of Qi?" ”
Yang Hao said: "Exactly, why don't you feel like it after Xia?" ”
Xia Qi didn't dwell on this topic, but said, "You won." ”
"Well, it's me who won, what do you want to say after the summer."
Xia Qi knew that he was going to die, so he calmed down a lot in his heart, and asked, "I want to know who you are?" ”
"I am the King of Qi!"
"You should know that's not what I'm asking?"
"I don't know what the queen of summer means?"
"I heard that you were in danger, and you became a slave, even if you are a nobleman, you can't have a character like you, I deceived others, but I can't fool me!"
Yang Hao sighed lightly when he heard this: "After Xia, I can believe that there are gods in this world. ”
"The gods are supreme, and naturally there are."
"I also believe that there are, there are some things that we mortals can speculate, who am I, don't say it's you, I don't know who I am, heaven and earth are mysterious, there are many things that can't be explained.
Xia Hou wants to know why you failed.
”
"Please advise!"
Yang Hao sat down and said: "At the beginning of people, nature is good, this sentence is the first truth that I learned when I entered the school.
Originally, this world was chaotic, but after the world first opened, there were stars in the sky and creatures in the world.
However, human beings in this world are weak and can only live under the threat of fierce beasts, and their ancestors can only live together in order to survive and use their wisdom to resist the threat of fierce beasts.
Day after day, year after year, our ancestors used their wisdom to improve their weapons, and the beasts no longer threatened us, and we began to hunt them, to warm our bodies with their drapes, and to strengthen our ancestors' tribe with flesh and blood.
But that's the way things are in the world, when there is a surplus of food, fur or other things, some people like to take it for themselves.
But there are some ancestors who don't agree to do this, so what then?
”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Qi's gloomy expression and continued: "
After thinking about it, it has already occurred to me that the ancestors want to get more things, and if they have the support of their clansmen, they can only bring disaster to the rest of the tribes.
The war began, and the defeated were caught working for their ancestors, who must have been the first slaves.
The ancestors grew larger and larger, and the number of people increased, and more and more slaves were captured.
The slaves lived a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs every day, and used their blood and sweat to feed their high ancestors, making them think that with slaves they had everything.
The ancestors became unenterprising, forgetting how their ancestors survived the distant period when beasts were everywhere.
They only know pleasure, they only know how to get the last useful thing out of the slaves.
At the time of Yan Huang Chi You, there was already copper and metal, but after such a long time, what did you nobles do, the things you used were still Yan Huang's things, and there was no growth at all.
When I was a slave, I wondered why there were people in the world who lived in splendid palaces, and who were as humble as ants.
I thought about it for a long time, and finally I figured out a truth.
”
"What's the reason?"
Xia Qi asked subconsciously.
Yang Hao said: "At that time, I was thinking, at this time, the slave is too little food, the tools are too simple, and the people in power are too greedy, if I am the one in power, I will change all this."
As long as these three problems are solved, what if there are no slaves?
Just imagine, when there are slaves, with rudimentary tools, even the nobles can only fill their stomachs.
But if there are more powerful tools and weapons, so that ordinary people can also fill their stomachs, and the powerful will never worry about food again, but spend more energy on improving their lives, will it soon be good for both sides?
It's a very simple arithmetic problem.
Later, I became the leader and led my people to work towards this goal, defeating a Fang country that was very powerful for me at that time, and as soon as I had people, I abolished slaves, gave the commoners farmland, improved tools, and fed them.
Although I am a conqueror, people love me as a conqueror, I have enough food, I can feed more armies, and I have defeated one opponent after another.
Now you're sitting here and thinking why?
”
Xia Qi's disdain at the beginning slowly became shocked, until now he is contemplative.
Yang Hao's theory was extremely novel, and he had to think about it seriously.
After a long time, Xia Qi suddenly showed a wry smile: "King Qi is wise, I might as well too!" ”
Yang Hao said: "This is not your failure, but the failure of the entire era, after you die, I will completely shatter this world and establish a new era, an era that truly belongs to people."
You will not be lonely in the netherworld, and I will send you to be your companion for those who are stubborn.
”
"King Qi still wants to continue to conquer?"
Yang Hao nodded and said: "Everywhere you look, it will be the territory of my Great Qi, I will use the wisdom of mankind to connect this world together, and the new Qi country will create an era, an era created by me instead of you." ”
Xia Qi listened a little inexplicably, he had already failed, Yang Hao was a well-deserved pioneer of the times, but listening to his tone, it seemed that he had done it before.
"Since King Qi is so ambitious, then I will watch from the sky, I don't know if I can meet an opponent like King Qi in this life, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky."
Yang Hao still respects Xia Qi, the emperor who has influenced the course of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, whether he started thousands of years of slavery or not, but as the founder of the history of Chinese dynasties in another time and space, Yang Hao does not intend to erase his merits.
He decided to also use the Xia Dynasty as the first dynasty in this time and space, and defined his own Qi State as the successor of the dynasty.
After Xia Qi's death, he would ask people to revise the history of Xia and recognize the legitimacy of this short-lived dynasty, which was a responsibility to himself and to another time and space.
