Chapter 45: Anger
After eating, Li Yan deliberately left Li Na in the house, and asked her to help him cook a little Keya, while drinking Keya, Li Yan said to Li Na: "Grandma Li Na, what do you think we should do now?" How can those slaves learn to read and write with peace of mind? ”
Li Na thought for a while, glanced at Li Yan and said, "Young Master, do you really want to listen to my opinion?" ”
Li Yan hurriedly said: "Of course, Grandma Li Na, you have been managing people in the Kalin family, and I have never managed people before, so in this regard, I don't have as much experience as you." ”
Li Na smiled slightly: "Thank you young master for the compliment, young master, I think you are too good to those slaves now, you should be strict." ”
These words made Li Yan stunned, and Li Yan said incomprehensibly: "Grandma Li Na, are you saying that I want to be harsh with those slaves?" Why? ”
Li Na smiled and said: "Young master, you must know that a superior person is not only on the gentle side, he is also on the strict side, if he is too gentle, his subordinates will think that he is easy to bully, of course, these slaves will not have this situation, but they will think that you are too good to them, and they have not done it so well, so they feel sorry for you, so when they recognize words, they can't lift their spirits, because in their opinion, helping us to work is their value, and learning to read and write, It's our reward for them, and now that we only give them a reward and don't let them do anything, they will be upset. ”
Li Yan was stunned, he really didn't think about it, Li Yan felt that these slaves should be like those students on the earth now, to be honest, no student would regard learning as a reward, everyone would like to only take classes two days a week, and recuperate for five days to be good.
Li Yan has always skipped a question, in this world, almost all technology, all knowledge is closed to slaves, slaves are only used to work, in the eyes of some nobles, slaves are not considered people.
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "I understand, thank you Grandma Li Na, for letting me think about what I want to do." ”
Li Na nodded with satisfaction, she understood what Li Yan meant, yes, it is undeniable that Li Yan is really good now, at least in her eyes, Li Yan is very good, but she also has to admit that Li Yan still has a lot to learn.
Li Yan sat there for a while, thinking about how to deal with this kind of scene, to be honest, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and he had never dealt with such a thing before.
After thinking for a while, Li Yan stood up, let out a sigh, turned to Li Na and said, "Grandma Li Na, let's go out, I want to meet these people." ”
Li Na nodded, and the two of them came out of the hut and walked over to the slaves, who were now practicing their writing on the grass, peeling off the turf to reveal the dirt underneath, and then writing on the dirt with corn stalks.
However, Li Yan saw that these slaves seemed to be a little listless, which was very different from the excited appearance when they first learned to write.
Li Yan walked over with a calm face and said calmly: "Everyone stop." ”
As soon as those slaves saw that Li Yan was coming, they immediately put down the corn stalks in their hands and knelt on the ground to salute Li Yan, but this time Li Yan did not gently let them stand up and speak as before, but said in a deep voice: "I heard that you are not serious when you are learning to write these days?" ”
His voice was not very high, and it was very calm, but the slaves trembled involuntarily, and immediately said in unison: "Please punish the master." ”
Li Yan said with a cold voice: "You haven't figured out one thing, let you learn to write, not just a reward for you, but want you to better serve our Kalin family, even if you are stupid, you should understand what the Karlin family is in now, the Karlin family needs each of you to do your best to serve him, it's the greatest effort, you know?" But what are you capable of now, and what can you do other than do some physical work? What kind of technology do you know? What are your strengths? I'll give you a book, how many words can you recognize? You don't know anything now, you don't understand anything, if those undead can be controlled by me, one undead is worth ten of you, and they don't need me to waste food to feed! Compared with strength, you can't compare to horses, why should I want you not horses? Because you can learn to know, but horses can't, as long as you learn to read, you can better serve the Carlin family, if it's just for hard work, why do I let you learn to read? Don't you learn to read and write, because you don't want to serve the Carlin family better? ”
All the slaves knelt there tremblingly, this was the first time that Li Yan had said such heavy words to them since they saw Li Yan, and they were really frightened.
Li Yan took a few deep breaths, calmed down his emotions, and then said: "I said that if you do a good job, I can restore his civilian identity, but you think that if you are given the identity of a civilian, you will be able to live a good life?" No, if you don't have the ability, even if you are civilians, you are the lowest civilians, and you have to remember to me that what my Carlin family needs is people who are self-motivated and want to live a good life, not those who only want to eat and die. ”
Then Li Yan glanced at Li Dou and said: "Many of you want to be here, why did I let Li Dou restore her status as a civilian, she can only weave grass, and many of you can weave grass, and even weave it is no worse than Li Dou, but why did I let Li Dou restore her status as a civilian?" I tell you, because Li Dou dared to stand up and say that she would, she could, she wanted to change her life, she wanted to make her life better, she wanted her brother to be saved, she wanted her younger brother, her own children to become a commoner, to have a fair opportunity to be educated, not by reward, I hope you can learn from Li Dou, I hope that one day when you see me, only bow to me, only call me young master, not call me master, the Carlin family needs a hundred people who serve the Karlin family wholeheartedly, not a hundred slaves, Do you understand? ”
All the slaves knelt there and shouted, "Understood the master." ”
These slaves are really excited now, this is the first time that a nobleman has said such things to them, this is the first time that someone treats them as human beings, the first time someone wants them to become human, although Li Yan is angry with them, but they are not a little dissatisfied in their hearts, on the contrary, they are full of gratitude and reverence for Li Yan, because Li Yan planted a seed in their hearts, a seed of self-improvement.
After Li Yan listened to them, he nodded and said: "Stand up, I don't like others to always kneel in front of me, remember, learn to write well, this is not a reward, it is an order." ”
The slaves said in unison, "Yes, master." Then he stood up.
Although these slaves knelt on the ground for a long time, when they stood up, they had a more temperament on their bodies, and the previous atrophy and shrinkage seemed to disappear all at once, and their bodies seemed to be full of strength.
Li Na stood behind Li Yan with a slight smile, her eyes were full of relief, she didn't expect that Li Yan did so well today, even better than she imagined, not only gave those slaves a dismount, but also made those slaves full of gratitude to him, Li Na was very satisfied with Li Yan's performance.
Li Yan glanced at the slaves who stood up straight, nodded, turned to Li Na and said, "Grandma Li Na, I'll leave the rest to you, don't just study every day, that will make people's heads wooden, and they won't be able to remember anything at all." ”
Li Na smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, I know what to do, this is not the first time I have taught students." ”
Li Yan laughed, turned around and walked towards the grass house, Tie Dan and Dog Dan followed behind Li Yan, Zhao Xuan did not follow Li Na this time, but followed Li Yan's side with a look of admiration.
Zhao Xuan felt that Li Yan was really handsome today, but when he was talking to him just now, his body seemed to be glowing, and there was an inexplicable power that kept attracting her attention, making her eyes inseparable from Li Yan for a second.
Li Yan returned to the house, but he sighed, just now he said those words, but after preparation, he even paused somewhere, what kind of expression to use at that time, he had designed in advance, of course, he was also a little emotional later, so he would be more realistic. But it is undeniable that these words are all designed by him.
Zhao Xuan followed Li Yan into the house, and when she saw Li Yan's appearance, she couldn't help but smile again, she really liked to stay by Li Yan's side more and more now, as if Li Yan had a power in her body that could make her mind settle down and give her a sense of tranquility, tranquility, but very peace of mind.
Li Yan only noticed that there was someone behind him at this time, he was stunned, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Zhao Xuan, Li Yan was a little embarrassed, he was an otaku, he had not had much contact with girls before, the last time Zhao Xuan hugged him, let him in the next few days, when he saw Zhao Xuan, he didn't know what to say, and now when he saw Zhao Xuan standing behind him, he didn't know what to do.
Li Yan said at a loss: "Ah, Zhao Xuan, why did you come in?" What's the matter? ”
Zhao Xuan looked at Li Yan's appearance, the smile on her face became even bigger, and she immediately smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Master, can't I enter this room? ”
Li Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, of course you can, you can come in at any time, sit down, and drink some Keya." ”
Zhao Xuan looked at Li Yan's appearance, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master, Na Keya is for you, I don't dare to drink it, otherwise my mother will scold me." ”
Li Yan hurriedly said: "No, I invited you to drink, it's okay." ”
