Zhao Shuai seemed to have not noticed Wang Cezhi's silence. He shook his folding fan and talked to himself:
"Brother Wang, I have been doing business since I was a child, traveling all over the country and meeting many people.
There are all kinds of people in this world with different colors. Even if we are from the Song Dynasty, there are all kinds of people.
Good, bad, cunning, slippery, stubborn, stingy!
It can be said that there are all kinds of people. I think we cannot look at foreigners with colored eyes. They are just like us, they have good and bad qualities.
We should treat them equally. As long as we treat them with sincerity, not to mention those bad aliens who are good in the first place, they will definitely be moved by our sincerity and become good people.
So, Brother Wang, you are wrong to think that if you are a foreigner, you must not be a good person! "
After Zhao Shuai finished speaking, he raised the corners of his mouth quite proudly and drank the tea in front of him in one gulp. His face was filled with the satisfaction of being a good teacher.
However, Wang Cezhi retorted directly after a moment of silence: "Brother Zhao, maybe in your opinion, there is no difference between foreigners and Song people. You are businessmen, as long as you can do business.
but!
As for Wang, I completely disagree with your point of view.
Yes, Wang admitted that there may be good people among the aliens, but do you know what the proportion is?
Their culture, civilization, and even customs are fundamentally different from us Song people.
It doesn’t mean that there are good people and bad people everywhere, so we assume that the other person is the same as us.
Have you ever thought that in the other person’s moral perspective, killing might be right?
Have you ever thought about how bad the things they did by poisonous people who grew up under the influence of this kind of moral values that are almost completely different from our moral values in the Song Dynasty are to us?
But to them it is as normal as eating and drinking.
It's so normal that they don't even think they are making a mistake!
It is extremely bad for us to have a formal style that is so normal that we can poison people within one, two or even three generations!
I am from Nanli County, and something happened some time ago, which especially proves what I said. "
Seeing Wang Cezhi starting to give examples, Zhao Shuai did not interrupt him. He picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea. This made the man in black on the side widen his eyes and was about to grab the teapot from his hand. But Zhao Shuai glared back.
After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he listened to Wang Cezhi slowly narrate:
“Since Yunzhou County began to immigrate to Nanli County, a large number of people have come to my home in Nanli County, and most of them have been separated from their bodies and drugs and live in one place.
But some still live with the local poisonous people.
In the original time, poisonous people were divided into three, six or nine grades, not a somewhat obscure one like our Song Dynasty, but a naked distinction.
They are the highest general, the Bashengmen, who are priests of body poisoners, the Kshatriyas, who are the military nobles, the Vajitas, who are businessmen, and the Sudras, who are the common people.
These are the four classes of people who are very unhealthy, a bit similar to our Song Dynasty scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants.
But it's not very similar.
In addition, there are people who are poisonous and poisonous. They are called Dalits!
In the language of poisonous people, it means an untouchable person. "
"Untouchable?"
Zhao Shuai expressed doubts.
Wang Cezhi nodded and explained:
"In the myth of poisonous people, untouchable people are the filthiest existences in the world, the mud under the feet of gods. No one can contact them, they can only spurn them, and cannot show kindness to them, otherwise they will be would be considered tainted.
These defiled people are considered by others to have betrayed the gods, and it is reasonable for others to do anything to them.
In the eyes of poisonous people, this is a custom that has been carried out for thousands of years and is a very normal thing.
After the Song people and the poisonous people lived together, because of our Song people's moral values and seeing that we would help the weak if we could, a family of Song people gave some food to a Dalit.
This incident was seen by other Shendu people, and soon spread throughout the village.
That night, a whole village of poisonous people surrounded the Song family's house and demanded that he hand over all his property.
Because in their view, this Song family has been tainted by Dalits, and they have the right to get everything they want from them. This Song family has no right to refuse.
The Song people naturally refused, and then these damn beasts! "
Having said this, Wang Cezhi's face was full of ferocity and hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "These beasts, they actually forced their way into that common people's house and robbed them all. Not only that, they even robbed that common people's house." The mistress of the family and the common man's thirteen-year-old daughter took turns to humiliate them, saying that they were purifying their dirty bodies!
Wait until it gets light before leaving.
At this time, the farmer's wife and daughter had been brutally humiliated to death by them, and even the farmer himself was beaten with bruises all over his body. The farmer held on for a while and walked to the local county government office, informed the government of the matter, and then He died directly in the government office!
The seriousness of this matter immediately aroused the common hatred of all the Song people in the county. The local government did not hesitate and sent people to arrest all the poisonous people in the entire village that day and put them to death in the Yamen!
Unexpectedly, when other drug addicts learned what had happened, they gathered at the county government office to protest, saying that these villagers did the right thing, that the government had no right to kill them, and that everyone who had come into contact with Dalits had been tainted. , everyone has the right to do whatever they want to them, and ask the government to let them go and pardon them!
The villagers who were caught with poison showed no intention of repenting, and they all believed that they were right.
In the end, the incident became more and more serious. Thousands of poisonous people from the entire county surrounded the county government and demanded that the county government release the villagers in this village.
This made the local officials hesitate, but when the matter reached the upper level, the Nanli County Sheriff's Office, the governor's attitude was quite tough.
A battalion of soldiers and horses were directly sent to the county, and in front of thousands of angry and angry people, they killed all the people in the entire village!
Thousands of Shendu people wanted to riot, but a battalion of guards charged directly at this group of excited Shendu people and scared them into pieces.
Nothing like it has ever happened in the county since.
Coincidentally, almost the same thing happened in another county, but the local government was concerned about the impact and let the villagers go.
However, the bad situation arose and such situations began to occur frequently in the local area. Within a few months, dozens of households in the Song Dynasty were brutally murdered by these increasingly arrogant poisonous people.
Finally, after the incident got serious, the county magistrate was forcibly dismissed, and the army directly entered the scene and massacred all the drug-infected villages where the incident occurred.
After the incident, there were only less than 3,000 drug addicts left in the county, which originally had a population of nearly 10,000.
But nothing like this happened again.
These are the two results of using force and showing kindness to a poisonous person.
So, does Brother Zhao still think that we should be gentle to these poisonous people and influence them with virtue? "
Zhao Shuai was silent for a moment. He knew about these two cases.
This caused an uproar in Yunzhou County at that time, and then Yunzhou County confirmed its policy of cruelly ruling against poisonous people.
He did not expect that Wang Cezhi would use these two cases to refute him, and he became more and more satisfied with him.
