At the thatched hall, a group of people stood densely.

Most of these people, children from a few years old to teens, men and women, stood in several rows at the courtyard wall, silent, all with their heads bowed, exuding an atmosphere of trepidation.

Du Rui walked over, Nie Yuan and Mo Chou left and right.

Someone looked up, their eyes connected with Du Rui's.

It was a little girl of seven or eight years old, dressed in a half-worn gray cloth shirt, and at a glance it was clear that the original owner of the shirt was not her, but it was a little big, and it was loosely draped over her thin body. Her face was small, so pale that there was no blood, and she should have been groomed before she came, but the process of grooming must have been very sloppy, and there was still a little dirt on her cheeks, and so was her hair, which was hastily tied into a double bun, not at all neat, and her hair was slightly scattered.

Her eyes were timid, with trepidation and uneasiness, and after taking a look at Du Rui, she quickly lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, as if she was worried about the impending reprimand and scolding.

Du Rui's gaze swept over the young men and women.

At that moment, everyone's appearance and characteristics were remembered by him, buried in memory, and will not be forgotten, his brain is like a huge electronic library, or a powerful search engine, as long as you type a name in the search bar, everything related to the other party will automatically surface, and there will be no omission.

In the previous life, he had also encountered so-called genius monsters.

A lot of ordinary people can't understand that you only sleep three or four hours a day and work hard to learn something, what about the other party? It only takes a day or two, flipping through the books, looking up the information, and then, everything is mastered, and it is far more profound than what you know, and he can draw inferences...... Du Rui is not surprised, in this world, no matter how clearly you shout that everyone is equal, there is still inequality between people after all.

All social attributes exist after all, there is a class, unless, as in some science fiction novels, the individual is the collective, the collective is also the individual, and all the same kind have the same heart, in that case, then it is equal.

In the human world, there are not only classes, but also individual differences.

Everyone is unique, with idiots, and naturally with geniuses.

Little Du Rui is definitely a genius, if in the next life, even if he has autism, most of them will be taught according to their aptitude, and in the end, become a very amazing person, however, in this world, he can only be treated as a fool.

Wei Yue greeted him.

A person who looked like a steward was originally whispering something with him, but when he saw Du Rui and his party coming in, Wei Yue limped up to meet him, he originally wanted to step forward, and then, as soon as he took a step, Nie Yuan's face hidden under the armor turned around, his gaze was as cold as lightning, and it fell straight on his face, and the meaning of stopping in his eyes was expressed very strongly.

So, the steward smiled awkwardly, withdrew his legs, and remained in place.

"Shaojun, Lao Wei, I went to Fuqingxing according to Shaojun's wishes, here, that is, all the children under the age of sixteen in Fuqingxing, both men and women, according to Shaojun's instructions, all brought ......"

Wei Yue followed Du Rui's side, and as he walked towards the eaves of the thatched hall, he whispered.

Early this morning, Du Rui instructed Wei Yue to go to Fuqing in Wannian County and let him go to buy people.

Yes, Fuqing Xing is a tooth shop, however, the goods he sells in this tooth shop are relatively special, not ordinary commodities, but human beings, which are commonly known as human traffickers. In the Tang Empire, the gate valve family was in charge, and they couldn't help but keep slaves, like those farmers in the manor, in fact, they all signed a contract with the master's family, which was part of the assets of the gate valve family.

In this world of high martial arts, ordinary people who don't know a single big character and have no way to practice martial arts can only become the slaves of the gate lord family, and have no ability to resist, precisely because they understand that resistance is meaningless, so they are also willing to create wealth for their masters' families, even if they live so hard, they can only endure in silence, which is similar to the caste system in India.

So, there are very few yeoman farmers.

And these yeoman farmers are dwindling.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, as long as there is a slight change, they will not be able to bear it, declare bankruptcy, and before that, they will definitely be patient, even if they sell their sons and daughters, they must keep the land, there is really no way, they will sell the land, and they will also invest in the manor belonging to the nearby gate valve family to be a banker, become a slave, and their own children will automatically become the property of the master's family as soon as they are born.

In this case, the class is also solidified.

It's like a stagnant pool of water, and society simply can't move forward.

Most of the resources are in the hands of the gate valve family, they also have the right to speak, determine the ideology of the world, a scientific invention, even if it helps the productive forces, however, if it hinders the interests of the family, they will put it on the shelf, or even a fire, put the inventor under house arrest or kill, in short, everything is in the interests of the family.

As for the fate of mankind!

What the hell is that?

The family is everything, and everything that is not in the interests of the family is wrong and must be suppressed.

With the influence of his previous life, Du Rui easily saw through the essence of this world, if you want to change this world, if you want to break the class solidification, it is useless to reform or reform, you must carry out a revolution of blood and fire.

But even shouting the slogan of class revolution is useless.

Even if all the villagers, all the yeoman farmers were incited to revolt, it would be useless.

The force value is too unequal, and one side has an overwhelming advantage over the other.

Like the secret method of martial arts, as well as various pills that can tap the potential of the human body, plus the manufacture of weapons, these are all in the hands of the family gate lord, and they will never be easily leaked.

Just like the ancient times of the previous world, at that time, the scholars and doctors controlled the knowledge of writing, had the right to speak, and the scholars were high, and the so-called laborers ruled people like this, and the laborers at the bottom did not have the slightest doubt about this, they just hoped that their children and grandchildren could produce a smart man, become a laborer, and become a master.

Taizu set off a movement to change this situation and let the laborers be the masters of the house.

However, if the laborers do not have the knowledge and culture, even if they are the masters of the house, they will only make a mess, and when those laborers have mastered the knowledge and culture, they will naturally become the laborers, and the ass will soon sit in the position of the laborers, and turn their heads to oppress the laborers, basically, this is not subject to their personal will.

This world is more rigid in class than in the previous life.

This is a very typical society in which a small number of elites rule over the majority of ordinary people, looking through the history of this world, and then looking through the thousands of years of history of the original time and space, basically, all social forms are like this.

After all, the pyramid is the most stable form.

If it becomes an inverted pyramid and most of it is located at the top, it will also crumble, and finally, it will collapse with a bang, and even the great Taizu will not be able to maintain internal stability, and the society will become disorderly as a result.

When he died, everything went to zero.

Du Rui doesn't have such big ambitions, yes, he does want to set off a revolution, even if it is for the timid gaze of the little girl in front of him, he wants to change the social form of the Tang Empire.

However, he also knew that he couldn't eat a single hot egg in one bite.

Recklessly setting off a storm will only cause more disasters, and in his short time of a hundred years, if he wants to step into the final stage in one step, even if he is a hundred times more talented than he is now, even if he can suppress all the great grandmasters, he will not be able to do it. Therefore, it can only be done step by step, just like those changes in previous lives, first of all, we must open up the wisdom of the people.

In this world, not only to open up the wisdom of the people, but also to train martial arts.

Later, with the development of science and technology, the improvement of papermaking, the emergence of printing, coupled with the southward movement of the Hu people in the north, destroyed the manor economy of the family, after the development of productive forces, commerce became circulating, and the family of gate valves turned into the scholar class, and those who worked hard continued to govern people.

It's just that the society has been a little fluid after all, and it is not so solidified.

In this world, it is definitely not enough to simply open up the wisdom of the people, and at the same time, it is also necessary to open the era of great cultivation for the whole people.

In this way, the resistance faced is extremely strong, and those conservative forces in the previous life are like candles and sunlight compared to this world, and Du Rui will be crushed if he is not careful.

Again, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step.

When he regained his annual salary as a feudal monarch, and when the emperor ordered the construction of a courtyard for him, those guys in the Internal Affairs Office were very aware of the current affairs and sent all the annual salaries deprived in the past few years to the door, and Du Rui's assets suddenly became strong, so that he also had the capital to do things, and some things could start to do.

However, he lacked manpower.

As long as you open your mouth, there is no shortage of manpower.

The eunuch who came to deliver the decree last time not only brought a few guards, but also brought a message, saying that the palace was selecting chamberlains and palace maids for Handan Jun, as a feudal monarch, there must be pomp and circumstance when traveling, and the situation of going out casually as before must be avoided, and the eunuch also quietly said to Wei Yue, saying that he knew that Handan Jun was assassinated in the Wannian County Market today, and he was very angry.

If there is a next time, Wei Yue's head will be lost.

Wei Yue was naturally very frightened, however, he couldn't say anything, he could only smile bitterly, saying that there would be no next time.

However, he knew in his heart that Du Rui could do whatever he wanted, and he couldn't stop it, so he just tactfully told Du Rui what the eunuch said, hoping that Du Rui would not act arbitrarily for the sake of his own head.

Of course, he didn't think Du Rui would change.

Sure enough, knowing that once the annex was established, the palace would send a large number of people to serve him, Du Rui asked him to go to the folk Yaxing and asked him to bring all the children in Fuqingxing one by one.

This young gentleman!

He's getting more and more confused!
