Chapter 102: Freedom

"Even if I ascend the throne and become king... Isn't it possible?" Heaney's face turned a little pale, and for some reason, she subconsciously believed what Xu Mu said, and even wanted to ask Xu Mu's suggestions and possibilities.

In fact, Xu Mu's words just now are extremely taboo, especially the sentence 'It doesn't matter who controls the highest power', which is contempt for the power of royal power, which is extremely respectful.

Xu Mu is not stupid, the reason why he said these words is also to prevent Heeny from having too much expectations for the so-called 'dream world', because it is basically impossible for the current Heani Kingdom to transform into such a world.

If he is ignorant or shameless, Xu Mu will pat his ass and say that Heaney's ascension to the throne will definitely create such a world.

However, Xu Mu is not ignorant or shameless, and he has lived in that world, so he understands the difficulties and special...

Even if it was so disrespectful, even if Heenyi wanted to punish him, he would say it.

"Your Highness the Princess. Xu Mu took a deep breath, and then sighed: "Do you think that among all the people in the Heini Kingdom, who has the freedom to think?"

Heaney was stunned, thought for a while, and replied, "Then don't I have the freedom to think?"

"No, you didn't... Your Royal Highness, Princess, have you ever dared to think about becoming a god yourself?"

Heaney's face changed even more: "You... Why do you say these things, don't say them again. Otherwise, even if I don't punish you, God will punish you! ”

"That's why Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have the freedom to think. ”

Heanieyi bit his lower lip and was silent for a long time before slowly asking, "What about the nobles?"

"Do the nobles dare to say that they have ever thought about becoming kings?"

Heaney's face deteriorated, and he felt that what Xu Mu said was extremely harsh, because these topics were extremely taboo.

Of course, the king wanted to be God, even above God.

The leader of every kingdom, who doesn't want to be number one in the world?

And when the nobles control a certain amount of power, their desire for power will naturally deepen, and then they will secretly think that if they can become kings, it will also be a good thing.

But these only dare to think in secret, no one dares to say it, and even everyone will force their own desires to prevent their brains from thinking wildly.

Heaney's head hurt a little, she sighed and asked, "Xu Mu, then you say, is there anyone in Heaney's Kingdom who has the freedom to think?"

"Civilians?" Xu Mu smiled lightly, "Of course it can't be." It is the slaves and the animals who really have the freedom to think. ”

"Slaves and livestock?" Heaney frowned, unable to figure it out.

"They have the freedom to think because they simply don't have the ability to realize the freedom of thinking in their heads. Xu Mu sighed again, lowered his head and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, I want to say something taboo, I don't know if it's okay." ”

Talking about this, Heaney couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Taboo? Say, I don't blame you. ”

"A hierarchical class society of the people can only be built on poverty and ignorance. And this kind of class society will create a scene of war and peace, freedom and slavery, ignorance and strength. And Her Royal Highness wants to lift the common people out of poverty, out of ignorance... Then it is necessary to break down this hierarchical class society and make freedom real freedom, not slavery. ”

"If it's really as you said, then how can the current status and class state of the Heaney Kingdom be broken?"

"From the bottom up, starting with the breaking of slavery, then to the improvement of the commoners, the right to give freedom to the commoners, and then to the aristocracy. Xu Mu was also silent for a while, thought for a while and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess wanted to start from the top down and start with the nobles a few years ago, and naturally the resistance was very strong. ”

Heanie smiled wryly: "Break the slavery system... Xu Mu, although the Heini Kingdom is not a kingdom with extremely developed slave trade, the transaction is not small. Although it is not as good as other kingdoms, the annual slave trade tax accounts for one-sixth of the kingdom's annual tax revenue! This is not a small amount... If slavery is broken, will these taxes be discarded?"

"No, Your Highness the Princess. Everyone has the right to live, and to live will create value for the kingdom and create wealth. It's just that Her Royal Highness didn't find a more suitable way to get the slaves out of slavery, what they could do. Money can only become a numerical value to measure the national conditions, but money is dead, but people are alive. When slaves become human beings, they may or may not be able to create more wealth than one-sixth of the country's tax revenue..."

Heanieyi was silent, her mind was extremely confused, and the topic she was talking about now could have been controlled at first, and stopped in time. However, now that she has talked about it, if she chooses to terminate, she feels that she has lost.

Seeing that Heaney didn't speak, Xu Mu continued: "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you remember those fantasy stories I told you?"

"What's wrong?"

"The dream world is made, and some of these things cannot be desecrated. The sky is broken, and you can make up for it by refining stones yourself. drowned in the East China Sea, and filled the East China Sea. When exposed to the sun, they shoot the sun down. Between the heaven and the earth split by the axe, there are people everywhere who do not want to be slaves. Xu Mu sighed, "The reason why Her Royal Highness likes these stories is not just because the stories are fantastic and wonderful. Perhaps you prefer the worldview portrayed in these stories. ”

Heaney wiped his lips and opened slightly, then closed them again and didn't speak, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Maybe what you said is right... A few years ago, I accompanied my father on a tour of the kingdom and saw the life of the common people in various parts of the kingdom. Although there were some who were slightly richer, many more were extremely poor, and from the eyes of those civilians I could only see numbness and emptiness, as if they had no soul. And the characters in your story, whether they are the protagonists or ordinary people, seem to have extremely souls, and everyone is very determined in their minds and has a sense of sufficiency..."

"Your Royal Highness Princess, don't get tangled, it's just stories..."

"The world of your dreams... Isn't it really possible to do it in this world?"

Xu Mu was a little anxious when he was silent, he could feel that his next answer might change Heaney's fantasy about the future Heaney Kingdom...

"Yes..."

When Heaniyi heard Xu Mu's answer, he couldn't help but be happy, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness the Princess, don't rejoice too soon. I'm just saying it works, but it could be a few hundred years away. ”

"Can't the kingdom of Hehni really be like that?"

"It's difficult, even if Your Royal Highness the princess becomes a king and has absolute power, and the nobles can't even refute your orders, but these changes in thinking are very difficult. Especially... In the world of my dreams, there is no king. ”

Heaney was stunned for a moment, and asked, "There is no king, is it God who leads the people?"

"No... There is no king... There is no God. ”
