Chapter 36: Sheep Eating Man, Robbers, Revolution, and Utopia
[36] Sheep cannibalism, robbers, revolution, and utopia
He Shicheng is now in charge of recruitment, which can be regarded as his own, and the housekeeper Luo Guanqun went to Tai'an for Yao Fan's naturalization, and now he seems to be Yao Fan's number one confidant.
He Shicheng immediately smirked when he heard this: "I don't believe it, Dongjia, how can sheep eat people, sheep eat grass?" ”
Luo Guanqun is not there, Wang Gui is now the cashier of the outer account room, and he feels quite majestic, and immediately retorts when he hears the words: "You know a bear!" The owner said that if he ate it, he must eat it! If the proprietor wants to say that the sheep ate the tiger, I think there is also it. It doesn't matter what it is, but if you are very hungry, how can you pick fat and thin? ”
Zhou Sisi is now the director of warehouse materials, and he is in charge of all the non-sale items that Yao Fan transports, and he is in charge of the entry and exit. Seeing He Shicheng and Wang Gui arguing, Zhou Sisi decided not to help anyone, he saw clearly, one was the henchman of the owner, and the other was slapping the owner's ass, and it was purely to add chaos to himself.
Zhou Si's decision was made almost instantaneously: "Don't interrupt the owner, just listen carefully, the owner is a person who asks about the university, and what he says is full of great wisdom." ”
Yao Fan didn't expect that his words would become a sycophant war, so he hurriedly used Zhou Si's words to tell the story: "There is a Britain, also known as the British Empire, the full name of which is the British Empire. ”
He Shicheng interjected again: "I have heard the name of this foreign country, it turns out that the owner wants to say that foreigners' sheep eat people, then I believe it, our Qing Dynasty's sheep really don't eat people." ”
These words attracted a burst of disdainful glances from everyone, He Shicheng shrunk his neck, looked at the dissatisfaction on Yao Fan's face, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again.
Yao Fan continued: "In 184o, that is, in the 2O year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, the British sent more than 100 gunboats and warships of various types and thousands of troops to fight a battle with our Great Qing Kingdom, and opened the gates of the Great Qing Dynasty with cannons. After our Great Qing Kingdom was defeated by the British, we had to sign the alliance under the city, that is, the "Treaty of Nanjing", and since then opened Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai, so that foreigners can come in and do business freely, and no longer have to go through the foreign firms designated by the Great Qing State to buy and sell official business. Foreigners can also build houses for these five people and sell opium and other foreign goods into our country at will. The Qing Dynasty lost another 210,000 silver dollars to the British, and the Spanish silver dollars weighed 27 grams each, and 210,000 silver dollars were about 18oo taels of silver. The treaty also stipulated that Hong Kong Island in the Qing Dynasty would be ceded to Britain, and that in the future, all foreigners who violated the law would be dealt with by the foreigners themselves, and that the Qing government had no right to intervene in the trial. ”
Hearing this, Li Hainiu held his mouth and his panting voice became thicker. He Shicheng saw that he was stunned, so he touched him and asked him to open the lid of the teapot so that he could flush it in.
Yao Fan said: "The story I want to tell about sheep eating people is born in England......"
"I'll just say it......" He Shicheng interrupted again.
Yao Fan scolded: "If you don't want to listen, go out, don't keep beating me." ”
He Shicheng quickly shut up.
"In other words, the British specialty is wool, and the blankets and woolen cloth they make from wool are sold very well in the world and make a lot of money. But we all know that raising sheep requires eating grass, and there are too many sheep and not enough grass, what can we do? So the British landlords enclosed all the farmland, drove away all the peasants who farmed, only planted grass on the land, did not grow grain, and used it to raise sheep to earn money, and the landlords only left a small part of the land for growing grain, anyway, it was enough for them to eat, and the British emperor himself was a big landlord, of course, he also enclosed the land like other landlords.
After that, thousands of peasants in England were driven out of their homes, and the whole country was full of homeless people, who starved to death, beggars became beggars, and some simply went up to the mountains and fell into the grass and became robbers. ”
Lehi Niu listened attentively and asked, "What happened to the beggars and robbers?" ”
Yao Fan said: "Later, the beggars starved to death, and the robbers were killed by officers and soldiers. ”
Li Hainiu took the teapot and said indignantly: "The world is as black as a crow, and the officials are forced to rebel against the people." ”
Yao Fan was very happy to hear this, and hurriedly encouraged him: "Well said, it is this truth, rich and powerful people will never fail to care about the life and death of the poor, if one day they have a little bit of mercy, it must be forced to be helpless, and they have to do it as a last resort, don't think that they have a good heart." ”
Li Hainiu listened to Yao Fan's words, and looked at Yao Fan with bright eyes, as if he had seen this person for the first time.
Wang Gui said triumphantly: "Sure enough, it's sheep eating people, I know that the owner won't talk nonsense." As he spoke, he glanced at He Shicheng again.
Yao Fan saw that everyone's acceptance of Western stories was not bad, I don't know if it was because of the tea or the story, anyway, he didn't get sleepy, so he was very happy and continued: "There is a robber in my story, who do you say?" ”
Wang Gui said naturally: "It's those beggars who fall into the grass!" ”
Yao Fan loudly denied: "Wrong! It's the emperors and landlords of England! They first used the methods of robbers to force the peasants to live! The peasants had no choice but to go to the grass! So these peasants are not robbers, they are revolutionaries!
Leather means change! Revolution means to change fate! These peasants are not willing to die of starvation, so they want to change their own fate, this is the revolution! To put it bluntly, it is to live!
Think about it, if this is the case, which is the righteous, the revolutionary or the robber? Which one is the one who dominates morality? ”
Wang Gui heard what Yao Fan said on the contrary, and hurriedly made a look of sudden realization and said: "The owner is really knowledgeable, it turns out that the British emperor is a real robber!" No wonder I sent hundreds of gunboats and thieves to fight me! What a! ”
Zhou Sisi was in a trance when he heard it, but he felt that somewhere in his heart was hot, and he said, "Can your life be changed?" Isn't it God's destiny? ”
Wang Guidao: "Didn't you listen to the owner, those revolutionary peasants were all killed by officers and soldiers, so well, life is life, and it can't be changed." ”
As soon as these words came out, the squad leaders below all began to talk about it, but in fact, they were already talking in a whisper just now, lamenting that the lives of the British peasants who farmed the land were really miserable, and that the British landlords were unkind and unjust.
Yao Fan was really excited when he saw that the discussion could be carried out to this extent.
"Whether or not my life can be changed, I will sue you later, but I can clearly tell you that the method of changing the life of those peasants in England, oh, that is, the method of revolution is wrong."
Li Hainiuyuan opened his eyes and asked, "How can that be right?" ”
Yao Fan said: "They want to reform their own lives, so they fall into the grass, do some robbery of the rich and help the poor, want to live like this, change their lives into lives, but they don't know that the revolution must first change the lives of the enemy, their enemies are the British emperor and landlords, if they don't change the lives of the British emperors and landlords, their lives will not be changed for a lifetime!" ”
When Li Hainiu heard Yao Fan's words, he was shocked and speechless.
Yao Fan said: "I heard the story of sheep eating people from a book called "Utopia", when I was overseas, I went to ask the British, and they said that this is a true story, and it is recorded in the British history books.
The book, called Utopia, was written by an Englishman, Moore, who said that private property was the root of all evil. In the book, he said: He sailed on the sea, and now there is an island called Utopia, where there are no emperors and landlords, and everything there is owned by everyone, and it does not belong to anyone, and anyone can use it. Anyone can take whatever they want, eat as much as they want, but no one ever wastes more than they want.
But according to the rules there, everyone had to go to work, and they were only allowed to work for three hours a day, and they were not allowed to work less or more. Everyone can choose their own life, either to work in the fields or to learn a craft to work.
The children there had to be sent to school together to learn knowledge and morality.
There are no poor or rich people there, and everyone lives the same life.
The people there despised gold and silver, and they used gold to make toilets and shackles for criminals.
There was no money there, because everyone had the food and clothing they needed.
There were no thieves or robbers, because if you could get something, why steal it.
The houses there are drawn every ten years, and everyone changes their homes, and there is no lock on the door, so everyone can come and go freely.
……………………”
Yao Fan watched everyone's reaction while telling this utopian story.
Sure enough, many people are intoxicated by the kind of empty world depicted by Yao Fan.
Li Jun, who is also the leader of the carpentry class and the leader of the entire carpentry class, said: "If I can be reincarnated on that utopian island in my next life, then it will be worth the hardships I have endured in this life, tsk." ”
Li Hainiu still looked shocked and speechless.
Wang Gui said: "If I meet such an island, I will definitely live." ”
He Shicheng rarely reached a consensus with Wang Gui: "Me too, I must live down and have children, and I will be there in this life." ”
Zhou Si raised his voice even higher: "If I pass, I will bring my father and mother over in the future, and the family can enjoy happiness." ”
Yao Fan saw that the goal was achieved, and said simply: "That's it tonight, it's not early, the meeting is over, and I have to work tomorrow!" ”
So the guys who had drunk fragrant tea and finished their foreign stories dispersed satisfied, and went back to their respective teams to sleep. The third sister saw that everyone was dispersed, so she came in to clean up the room, and He Shicheng saw the third sister come in, and retreated with interest.
The third sister saw that everyone had run away, so she opened her eyes and asked Yao Fan: "Big brother, is there really the island you are talking about?" Is it a foreign dialect spoken there? Did the Englishman who wrote the book say where the island was? ”
Yao Fan smiled and patted the third sister's head: "Little ghost, do you hear the corner so clearly?" ”
The third sister's face was as red as a ripe persimmon: "Big brother, your voice is clean and bright, there is only a curtain in the middle of this house, of course I can hear it clearly next door." Big brother, you read so many books! There are so many things to know! There are so many reasons to know! ”
Yao Fan smiled: "Don't learn from Wang Gui's little sycophant, I can't stand people blowing conches at me all day long." ”
The third sister hurriedly said: "More is more!" Why doesn't the eldest brother tell the truth! I'm not a sycophant! "Let's talk about it, I laid out the newly bought Guangxi Banzhu mat on the kang with three hands and two feet, and went out in anger without looking back."
Yao Fan smiled and was about to sleep, but he heard someone knocking on the window with his hand, and a voice said: "The owner, I'm Li Hainiu, I want to ask the owner something." ”
