was interrupted by Zhang Yue like this, and the originally cheerful atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Gong Yu and the others, who thought they had won the victory, drooped their heads even more.

They thought they had won.

But now I know that this so-called victory is so vulnerable.

They could even think that if there was no reminder from Zhang Shizhong, they and the others were just immersed in the joy of victory, and I am afraid that when they reacted, they would only see those freed slaves and maids, and most of them had become the slaves and maids of their original owners again.

And those old and weak women and children may suffer a fate even more tragic than that of slaves and maids—even selling themselves into slavery will become a luxury!

So, in the end, they either starved to death in a corner, or died under the cave of a black mine.

"Is there a way for Zhang Shizhong to solve the malpractice of slavery in the world?" Gong Yu raised his head, looked at Zhang Yue and asked.

These days, Gong Yu and his classmates have been running and appealing inside and outside Chang'an City, and have paid countless efforts and sweat.

He even personally visited the homes of several famous Confucian and famous people, explained the harm and immorality of slave storage, and persuaded them to release slaves and slaves, reduce slave storage, and preferably not keep slaves.

His friends also helped to run around.

Everyone works together and works together.

Finally there are some achievements, some results.

But......

In the end, Gong Yu found that his efforts and dedication did not seem to have played a big role.

The effort of him and his friends was only to set the slaves free temporarily.

"Of course there is a way!" Zhang Yue replied with a smile.

When Gong Yu and the others heard this, their eyes lit up, and Liu Jin held his breath.

Even Sang Jun and others also looked sideways.

Because, through their contact and understanding with Zhang Yue, they knew that this lieutenant never said anything that they were not sure of.

"First of all, the efforts of your lords are extremely important!" Zhang Yue bowed to Gong Yu and the others: "It is the preaching of the kings that makes the world know that it is immoral to keep slaves!" ”

"It's a very important thing!" Zhang Yue said very seriously.

People's hearts, public opinion, and morality, although these things are illusory, can indeed affect the world.

The great unity of the various factions of Confucianism this time may not have much effect in the short term.

But in the long run, it may be possible to change history.

Because, the power of people's hearts, public opinion, and morality is beyond people's imagination.

In this world, even if you are a devil, don't you have to pretend to be a good person?

You don't see, it is the efforts and propaganda of the Ram School for decades that have made the idea of great revenge deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As a result, even the country's laws and systems had to adapt to the idea of great revenge and make amendments.

In the same way, if slavery becomes a 'bad thing', it becomes a 'bad thing' and a 'virtuous and cruel thing' recognized by the people of the world.

Then, as time goes by, the power of anti-slavery will only increase.

and in turn influencing national and legal policies.

The abolition of slavery may not be possible, but the powerful landlords may have to find a new way to exploit and enslave the people.

When they heard this, hope was rekindled in their hearts.

I even felt excited.

"Secondly, I think that restricting slaves and abolition of slaves and maids is something that will be difficult to do in the short term......" Zhang Yue sighed.

There's no way around it.

In this world, as long as there are suitable interests, it is enough to make people bold, if the profit exceeds 50%, people will have the courage to stand up and take risks, if the profit exceeds 100%, then it is trampling on all the laws and morals in the world, and some people will rush to do it, if the profit reaches three times, those scum can even be sold to others to hang their ropes.

This is true not only in the world of capital, but also in societies with small-scale peasant economies.

And the profit of slavery is more than three times?

Ten times more!

Therefore, not only the landlords, the nobles, the nobles, the doctors, and the merchants have accumulated slaves.

The average small landowner and middle class also took pride in owning slaves.

In the face of such a big interest, you want people not to make this money? No way!

Even if the Han law stipulates that if the slave holder dies, there will be countless people who will try their best to keep slaves.

Not to mention now, in another 2,000 years, human beings will not be free from human trafficking and human control and slavery.

In the final analysis, everything is the fault of interests and the mistakes of wealth.

When everyone listened, they all sighed in their hearts.

Legalists, Confucianists, and miscellaneous families, flogged and spurned businessmen for nearly two or three hundred years.

Qin Shi Huang listed merchants as lowly status, and Emperor Gao specially listed merchants as city registrations, separating them from normal people and subjecting them to legal and institutional discrimination.

But the result?

At present, the social and political status of a businessman with a family of millions is no lower than that of any scholar.

If there are tens of millions of families, this big man can even affect the place.

The family is tens of thousands, and it is the guest of honor of the three princes and nine kings.

It is more useful for people to blow than for 10,000 years for scholars to shout.

Just like this 'abolitionist movement', it was not the Maoling great Jia Yuan Guangguo who responded and took the lead in freeing the slaves.

I am afraid that it may not be possible to achieve much results.

The businessmen can't handle it, so can it really be done if the slave storage thing that involves more and has more interests than the businessmen can really be done?

There was no answer in the hearts of the people.

I listened to Zhang Yue say: "In my opinion, at present, the best way is to make the small people rich, if the small people are rich, they will naturally not be slaves for others......"

"This is what we are going to do in Xinfeng......"

"This is also what the sages called 'it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish'......" Zhang Yue said softly.

When everyone listened, they all lowered their heads and asked themselves: "Can our fruit make the people of Xinfeng rich?" ”

Then, they each clenched their fists: "I must make the people of Xinfeng rich!" ”

If even the people of a county cannot make them rich, how can they rule the world?

How to save the world? How to restore people's hearts?

On the contrary, Sang Jun and Chen Wannian listened and were a little indifferent.

Prosperity of the people?

In the past hundred years, how many officials have really made the people under their rule rich?

Sang Jun counted in his heart.

Then he found that there seemed to be none.

Whether it is Xiao He Cao Shen, or Wang Ling Zhang Cang, or Er Kuan, Yan Zhu, and as for Zhidu Wang Wenshu, Ning Chengyi Zong, Xianxuan Zhao Yu.

Whether they use Huang Lao's inaction, or Legalism to enforce the law, or Confucianism to lenien.

There has never been a ruler who governs a place that can be called rich.

Their greatest achievement is only to make the place stable and the people stable.

But those who should be bankrupt are still bankrupt, and those who should be hungry are still starving.

Where did this Zhang Shizhong come from to be so bold and dare to boast about making the people of Xinfeng rich?
