Chapter 469: Forgetful People

Responsibilities, Rights, Obligations.

This is an important part of modern society and the state.

The modern state is somewhat similar to the contract state, which itself is based on mutual contract, mutual trust, and mutual trust.

Therefore, the state has an obligation to ordinary people, giving them certain rights and requiring them to bear certain responsibilities.

The cloze above can be filled in: Taxes, Security, Military Service, or you can fill in the blanks by choosing the correct answer.

And the other is that individuals also have obligations, rights and responsibilities towards the state.

These are mutually reinforcing.

It's a pity that there is no modern country in this world, so everything Leo said is very new, and even Robin is a little puzzled.

She opened her mouth slightly and asked, "Then why didn't the previous country form a basic and stable environment for ordinary people from all over the world, and even their basic right to survival was not guaranteed, but they were still willing to obey the original king and the world government?" ”

She comes from O'Hara, a country of scholars, a poor place where even pirates don't want to come, and pirates don't have any interest in books, and pirates who are interested in books don't make waves here, so their lives have always been peaceful.

Until they began to study the secrets of the historical text were known to the Navy.

When O'Hara was destroyed, she traveled to many countries and met many, many people, vicious and good, bad and not-so-bad, pirates, and navies.

She's been on the run, she's been hunting, she's been watching the world.

She went to a lot of places and left a lot of deep questions.

There were times when she had forgotten about those questions—because they weren't the top priority.

But when Leo said these words, these memories and questions were unearthed and put on the table, and she finally found someone who could help her solve them.

So she asked.

"Good question." Leo raised it, Robin's hand didn't stop, she wrote down all her questions and Leo's answers, it was her job, and she had developed something similar to muscle memory over the years.

"First of all, there's a criterion here: even if pirates are rampant, even if their lives aren't guaranteed, is that really the case?"

"In the world is bad, in the era of pirates, is it a question of whether everyone makes more money or less money? Not really. ”

"In the era of pirates, people's main problem is to ensure the basic safety of their lives."

"And the basic safety of life, in fact, like income, is measured by a scale."

"It is true that for the victim himself, there is only one life, and when he encounters a pirate and is killed, he dies."

"But for other people, what is their measure until they are not victimized?"

"Yes: the number of victims where I live, compared to the number of victims elsewhere."

"When you can see on the news every day that one or two hundred people have been killed by a merchant ship in a certain place, and a certain town has been destroyed by pirates."

"Are the casualties of just a few people in your own town acceptable?"

"The answer is yes."

"If the lives of most people in this world are not guaranteed, then they will only compromise and remain silent about the small amount of harm."

Leo didn't look at his outline, as he was explaining Robin's problem.

Robin's questions are very insightful, and can even represent the ideas of most of the revolutionary army, and some people are not even at Robin's level, and they can't ask the point.

That's the most frustrating thing.

On the contrary, he is happy to answer this kind of question, and even helps him clarify his own thinking.

"Second, are they really not earning the material foundation to be able to meet their own lives?"

I have to say that the world and society of One Piece are still very interesting.

No matter how ruthless the pirates are, they can't stop the people's determination to join the pirates, join the navy, become merchants, and run around in this world.

It is precisely because of the troubled times that many people's hearts have become wild.

The isolated islands prevented them from seeing the misery of the other islands, but could only see the heroism and strength of powerful pirates, navies, and merchants.

This further stimulates the ambition of these people.

That is to say, no matter how insecure their lives are, as long as they have money, as long as there is a social and trading market, as long as there are merchants, they can always buy the goods they like.

And even if it was a bad thing, as long as it was very special, as long as no one had seen it, the merchants could transport it around the world as a special product and a hunting object, and sell it for a thousand times its original value.

So merchants can buy goods at a very high price for people in the place of origin.

And the value of necessities such as oranges, salt, grain, water is even harder.

For example, the oranges sold in Orange Town on more than a dozen acres of orange trees not only buy their lives from the evil dragon year after year, but also delay the arrival of Luffy.

This is the charm of commercial logistics.

Therefore, even if their right to life is not guaranteed, their material interests are extremely rich, and they cannot be solved by simply recruiting Leo's experience in the original world.

And this abundant material life created some difficulties for Leo and them.

"We have solved the problem of their right to live, but human beings are forgetful."

"Maybe in a decade or so, they will forget that their lives are not easy to come by, and they will start asking for more material things."

"At that point, what are we going to do with their problems and criticism?"

Leo's words stunned Nicole Robin.

Although he had already proposed a ten-year plan, she had never expected that his vision had already seen so far, and even the reactions of everyone had been calculated, and from her understanding of human nature, he could not be wrong at all.

Humans are forgetful creatures, they quickly forget who brought them their lives, and take this safe environment for granted, and they are no longer grateful, grateful.

Then they will demand harsher conditions from the revolutionary army, giving them a better material life - because they no longer lack the right to live.

At that time, what will the revolutionary army use to block the mouth of the world and make them happy?

Nicole Robin thought briefly for a moment: "We who have the strongest force in the world, if we don't give them this kind of commitment, is it also a matter of course?" ”

It is true that in the past, there has never been a government that has been able to give its own people any guarantee in terms of economic development and the safety of their lives, so can the revolutionary army maintain this practice and not make promises to them and not tell them about it?

There are some things, as long as the government doesn't say it, then these ordinary people will never understand it, and they won't do it!
