"That is, it is shameful enough that Sister Xiaoting is a second-class citizen. Shen Lingling echoed.

"I'm not a second-class citizen!" Li Ting pouted, ran over and followed Lin Ruxue's example and pinched her brother's ear twice, "Li Yi, listen, give me a nickname again, and I'll fight with you!"

"Xiao Yi, don't make trouble, let's get down to business!" Tang Yun said.

Li Yi said: "Aunt Yun, what I'm talking about is a very serious matter, it's an honor for you to be the first earthling to hear about the empire, and you will also witness the rise of the empire." ”

"An empire that hierarchies people like India? haha. Tang Yun didn't understand how this boy, who was still full of wisdom when he was talking about the world's cutting-edge chemistry issues just now, suddenly became funny.

"The hierarchical country has long been submerged in the long river of history. Even in India, the caste system is dying out. Xiao Yi, it's not Aunt Yun who said you, people should be equal to each other, you have grown up, don't dream of becoming an emperor, that's impossible!"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Aunt Yun, you are influenced by the contemporary concept of civilization, and you only know one of them, but you don't know the other.

Equality can now become a universal value, rooted in the fact that there is little difference in ability between people. When the difference in ability between individuals reaches a certain critical point, 'equality' does not appear. Would you be equal to a pig? Definitely not, because you like pork. In the same way, no creature that is far less capable than you and is left to be slaughtered by you will not be equal to you.

Taking a step back, even if animal protection scholars believe that humans and pigs should be equal, that people have human rights, that pigs have pig rights, that killing pigs should pay for their lives, and that eating pork should be spurned by all people, I am afraid that they will not think that people and flies are equal to mosquitoes.

Of course, Buddhism says that all beings are equal, and that people and flies are equal, but that is only a niche idea and cannot become a universal value. When most people see a fly, their first reaction must be to swatt the guy to death.

Why should flies eat only a little of human leftovers, or even human feces, and be condemned by all human beings, and can even be mutilated at will? Because we and flies are not equal in ability, nor in status, and will never be equal. ”

"You are messing around, how can people be the same as people and animals?" Tang Yun said disdainfully.

Li Yi said: "People and animals are all from the same ancestor, but it has been a little longer, but you don't see them as the same kind anymore. In tens of thousands of years, as evolution continues, the human population will also diverge into all kinds of people, just as primitive animals have evolved into all kinds of animals today. At that time, will you still feel that everyone is equal?

To put it another way, if you go back 100,000 years and see hairy apes in trees that haven't evolved into humans, do you think you're equal to them? No, you're going to think you're a level higher than the apes. ”

"You are quibbling and deliberately confusing concepts!" Tang Yun said.

As a modern intellectual woman, Tang Yun's three views are still very positive, and she can't be shaken by idlers, and it is impossible to be persuaded by Li Yi's simple words.

Li Yi smiled lightly and said, "Okay, then let's talk about human beings." Even if modern society says that everyone is equal, is everyone really equal? Is the head of state equal to the beggar? Or are you, a university professor, really equal to a village girl in a poor mountainous area?"

"How is it unequal?" Tang Yun asked.

"Of course it's not equal. For an income of 100 yuan, the village girl works in the farmland from morning to night every day, and she can't drink a sip of tired water, and you can sell it for hundreds of thousands of dollars with a patent at will, which is equivalent to their hard work for a lifetime. ”

"I'm the result of my labor!" Tang Yun said.

"Of course I know that you are the income of labor, but the village girl does not pay less than you, and the income is too little, don't you think so?"

"That's because I have the knowledge and can do research that village girls can't!" Tang Yun said.

"Yes, you have finally found the root cause of your inequality, which is that you have different abilities. Your ability is stronger than that of the village girl, so you deserve to be treated better than the village girl. In the same way, the head of state is more capable than a beggar, so he can eat various state banquets every day, while a beggar can only eat leftovers and cold meals.

When this difference in ability continues to widen with human evolution, it becomes a gap between tigers and sheep, and between humans and flies, then the foundation of equality for all people does not exist. Insisting on equality for people with different abilities is the real inequality. ”

"You're confusing concepts again, it's impossible for people to be so different from each other!" Tang Yun's brows furrowed.

Li Yi smiled: "Okay, that's the end of the discussion on this issue, I'll explain it to you again, I'm afraid you won't listen, it can only become an academic debate, meaningless." The facts will tell. Let's talk about something else, like Aunt Yun is curious about my knowledge?"

"Of course, that's exactly what I want to ask. Tang Yun nodded.

Li Yi, a student who used to be the first to the last, is now very slippery in English, can have direct conversations with American professors, and has very deep knowledge of chemistry, which can solve high-end problems in the chemistry field, making her a professor in the United States ashamed.

It was so weird, she wondered why.

"The knowledge I have comes from the Tang Empire of another universe, where I have struggled for a long time. Li Yi said slowly, "Now that the empire has begun the reconstruction project, if Shanshan and Lingling apply to join, I will train them according to the standards of imperial citizens." In less than half a year, their knowledge level will surpass that of most contemporary scientists, and the future will be limitless. ”

"Really?" Tang Yun blinked.

Who doesn't want their sons to become Chan and their daughters to become phoenixes? But his two daughters are only 12 years old, and Li Yi actually said that he can train them to the level of scientists in half a year, which is also incredible!

If Li Yi said this a day ago, Tang Yun would definitely not believe it, but now almost overnight, Li Yi has turned from a worm to a dragon, and his knowledge is unimaginable, Tang Yun has to believe it if he doesn't believe it!

Tang Yun thought for a while, and said slowly: "I never believed that there was a free lunch in the world, if Shanshan and Lingling could really become scientists like you all of a sudden, then what would they have to pay?"

"I have already said that the condition is to become a citizen of our Tang Empire. Li Yi smiled while filling Tang Yun with tea.

"Then what do you have to do to become a citizen of your Tang Empire?" Tang Yun asked seriously, "A tenth-class citizen is not a nice term. ”

"Citizens certainly have the rights and duties of citizenship. But rest assured, even the rights of the Empire's Tenth Class citizens are far from comparable to those of the current earthlings. To put it another way, the treatment of our citizens is the treatment of heaven in myths and legends. ”

"You're pretty good at blowing. Tang Yun chuckled.

"This is not bragging, you should see the current life of our family, living in the presidential suite, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, drinking famous wines, and this is just the beginning, our life will get better and better in the future." Now your daughter has the opportunity to become one of us, and all she has to pay is to obey the laws of the empire and fulfill the duties of a citizen, are you willing?"

Tang Yun turned to the two daughters and said, "Shanshan, Lingling, your brother Xiaoyi let you become citizens of his empire, are you willing?"

"No!" replied both of them.

"Tenth-class citizens, who is going?" Shen Shanshan also grimaced.

-- Ask for votes, those who vote can become 10th class citizens, and those who vote multiple times can be promoted to the ......
