Chapter 1188: Uprising (II)
Grush never imagined that the world would one day become more chaotic because of a single word......
Listening to the impassioned speech of the messenger sent by the great merchant, the eloquence of the messenger was indeed very good, but it was not the eloquence of the messenger that really drew his attention, but the coined word 'uprising'.
From the "Chinese Dictionary" brought by Serena's maid, after being translated and polished, just one word changed their behavior from 'rebellion' to 'uprising' with incomparable legitimacy.
The reason why the big businessman chose to start rebelling against the rule of the Kurt Kingdom nobles at this time was not only because the strength of the rebels was increasing day by day, and the Kurt Kingdom nobles were gradually exposed to their decline, but also because of this ordinary and simple 'word'!
Unable to endure the 'cruel rule' of the aristocracy any longer, they 'revolted' β this is what the big merchant said.
Whatever his true purpose was, there was a justification for his words and actions.
Many people may not accept this statement, and even some of the rebels themselves find it difficult to accept, but it is true, because of this one word, their actions are justified.
Even if they will not be recognized by others, from the day they learn the word, they are no longer the 'rebels' as Qianfu refers to, but the 'rebels'.
As they used it, the word spread and many people recognized the word and the meaning behind it!
And now, the big businessman who didn't know what to do chose to 'revolt' under this slogan and joined the ranks of the rebellion against the rule of the aristocracy.
At this time, Grush couldn't help but think of what the head maid had warned him: "As long as this word appears in this world, then the world will inevitably become more chaotic - words have power, and if used properly, they can shape a better world, but this power can also be used by those who have a heart, so you should be very careful." β
Now, someone with a heart has appeared, and he has realized the so-called 'power of words'.
Yes, words do have 'power', and they are a power that can destroy decay!
Grush took a breath, raised his hand to interrupt the messenger's words, and asked directly, "Having said all this, your master wants to form an alliance with us, right?"
"Uh......" The envoy obviously hadn't seen this formation, and was stunned for a moment, before nodding his head in confusion, "Yes......"
"You can tell him that we only have one condition!" Grushh looked at the messenger's eyes seriously, and even made him a little flustered, before he said slowly, "We must completely overthrow the feudal system and abolish the private ownership of land, which has led to the corruption of the rulers and the division of clear classes, which is not conducive to the development and progress of society - we only have this one condition, if he accepts this condition, we can form an alliance, otherwise, he is also our enemy!"
Grush was loud, but the messenger was a little dazed.
The messenger's lips twitched, and his eyes were full of doubt, full of puzzlement at what the leader of the rebels said in front of him.
Why overthrow the feudal system? Didn't they work so hard to become nobles, to become rulers, and then to make a good life for their descendants?
But before he could speak, one of the rebel leaders who had led him in grabbed him and said a few words to him, causing his eyes to widen in disbelief.
Then Grush could see a hint of panic in his eyes.
The messenger of the great merchant was at a loss for a moment, and his tongue, which had been skillfully tongued, seemed to have become sluggish, and he could not say a word.
"Iβthis, I...... I'm going back and ask my master!" The messenger lowered his head, and his voice fell.
In other words, the big businessman didn't plan to follow their pace from the beginning?
Grush raised an imperceptible brow, their name as 'rebel' had already been established, and their ideas could be mentioned casually, and because of his promotion of education and faith-building, even the lowest rebel soldiers could explain what they were doing it for.
Grush is well aware that no matter what he does, he will not be able to shape an 'equal' country, but he can shape a country that is just, fair, and capable of allowing everyone to compete.
The Principality of Sorrow was ahead of them, so he knew exactly what he should do, as long as he followed the pace of the Principality of Sorrow, he could at least build a country with a minimum level of fairness.
It is impossible for everyone to stand on the same starting line, bloodline, family background, and talent are all uncontrollable factors, but he can use 'education' to allow commoners to participate in the competition, instead of only watching the children of noble families compete as before.
If the land can be passed down from generation to generation, it means that the rich can collect the land in various ways, and these lands will definitely not be sold to the outside world, the rich have more and more land in their hands, and the poor have less and less land, which will eventually lead to the reappearance of large landlords like feudal aristocrats, and at that time, what do they want to monopolize or they have the final say?
They may not dare to blatantly change the educational and political systems, but they can cut off the path to ascent by suppressing the educated commoners in the form of 'happy education' β things that Grush is all too familiar with, and who Mr. Ziegler spoke to him about during his time in Winder.
Swapping concepts is a tactic that everyone uses, but in it, the merchants are the ones who play the best, and even when they find out that they are shoddy, they are still speechless.
"Yes!" Grush nodded seriously, "but you have to tell your master what I said, we will overthrow the feudal system and abolish the system of private ownership of land, because the purpose of our 'uprising' is to prevent the common people from being exploited by the nobles, and if we create a group of landlords who look like nobles, then the rebel army might as well be disbanded on the spot!"
The paladin's words were so powerful that the messenger couldn't help but swallow nervously, and he looked at the others through his peripheral vision, only to find that their faces were obscure.
For a moment, he seemed to understand something, and his heart suddenly pounded.
The messenger muttered, "Yes, yes, I will go and tell my master......"
With that, he bowed his head and hurriedly saluted, turned and left the reception room.
His steps were eager, as if he was in a hurry to go back and tell his master about it, so that his master could make up his mind as soon as possible.
After the messenger left, Grush also bowed slightly to the others with a blank face, and stood up from his seat, "Then everyone, I will leave first." β
After that, he didn't say anything more, and left straight away with Ondel.
After walking through the gate, Ondel's grim face couldn't help but smile funny, "Hey, do you believe it? Now they must be discussing whether or not to deal with you inside." β
Grush raised his eyes and shook his head slightly, "They can't deal with me, because I haven't leaked any flaws, and unless they are willing to expose themselves to corruption, I will never be stained." β
"Their discussions will not lead to anything, all the discussions can only be used to assume when I made a mistake, but I am different from them, my biggest mistake is 'selfless'!"
As he spoke, Grush didn't stop, but he changed his words, "Now there is a person who has stepped up and become an example, and after him there will be more and more 'uprisings', although I don't know if they are sincere, but what we need now is 'momentum' - as long as there is momentum, then when the time comes, as long as we raise our arms, everyone will respond to our call!"
And the truth is indeed as Grush speculated, after a big merchant chose to 'revolt', soon another merchant and a mercenary leader also chanted the slogan of 'uprising', and confronted the nobles.
The power of words began to be unfolded before the eyes of the world.
- As long as the nobles of the Kurt Kingdom are still oppressing and exploiting the commoners, then they will always occupy the 'great righteousness'!
But then comes an even more chaotic situation, and since there have been several examples in the Kurt Kingdom, it is presumable that the same thing will happen in other parts of the continent, and the continent will become even more chaotic.
In this world, there will never be a shortage of conspirators, and there will never be a shortage of people with evil intentions.
