Liang Xiao sighed: "You are right, this is a cannibalistic world. No matter how many years pass, it will still inevitably eat people."
"Is there no way?" Xing Feng said with a bitter look on his face, "Reason tells me that I should stand with the people and fight against all exploitation. But my emperor has given me the grace to rebuild. Without him, I would not be where I am now... …What I can do is to try to find a balance, at least I can no longer see people in ruins and starvation everywhere.”
Liang Xiao looked at Xing Feng, feeling melancholy.
Mr. Xing was just born in the wrong era and was inevitably out of tune with this era.
After the melancholy, Liang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little more relieved.
At least, Xing Feng gave himself a little feeling of hometown.
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Why don't we imagine the world thousands of years from now."
Xing Feng's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "This is an angle, please tell me."
Liang Xiao stood up slowly, looked at the waning moon in the sky, and recalled his hometown.
"There is no truly eternal dynasty. This land will eventually usher in dynasty changes again and again, and the people who exploit and oppress the people just change one after another. Until a certain stage, countless people with lofty ideals will shed their blood and sacrifice their lives. Overthrow the dynasty, liquidate the landowners, and distribute the land to all the people. The people no longer have to worry about the emperor and the landowners dominating them and having the power of life and death over them."
Liang Xiao's words shocked all the spectators.
Overthrow dynasties, liquidate landowners, distribute land?
This time, even Li Xinwen was worried about Liang Xiao.
The Empress of Zhou is in this room...
Jiang Fuxue panicked and went to open the door, but was held down by Duan Yunyi.
Duan Yunyi murmured: "It doesn't matter, listen to what they have to say and refer to it. My sister won't blame them."
Jiang Fuxue nodded silently, still a little worried in her heart.
Duan Yunyi stared at Liang Xiao silently, with mixed emotions.
For him to say this means that he really didn't know that he was eavesdropping...
Xing Feng nodded and said: "I think your judgment is reasonable. After all, thousands of years ago, people were still eating hair and drinking blood. There were only tribes and no countries. How could people at that time have thought that there would be a country with a population of tens of millions? "
Liang Xiao then continued: "Humanity's ideas and technology have also become more and more mature with the development of the times, and are far superior to their predecessors. By that time, only one machine will be needed to complete what today requires dozens or hundreds of people. A job that would take thousands of people to complete.”
"Oh?" Xing Feng suddenly became interested.
The girls in the room couldn't help but be curious.
This is something they never imagined.
"More than that, there will be faster and safer machines in the sky and on the earth to replace the current beasts of burden and vehicles. People can even travel thousands of miles away overnight. People can even use mechanical energy to go to the sky and the earth. People who are thousands of miles apart can still feel as if they are face to face. Chat freely, and you can even see the smile of the other person thousands of miles away. Doctors can use machines to treat patients and disembowel them without dying. Our current incurable diseases may only be minor illnesses in the future, and people can live an average of seven to eight years. Ten years old, unlike today, 'people are rare after seventy years old'."
"It's not that what you said is impossible, it's just that it may have to wait thousands of years." Xing Feng's face was full of longing, and he was obviously attracted by what Liang Xiao said about the future generations.
Liang Xiao added: "Not only that, in that era, everyone had food to eat, everyone had education, and it was difficult for anyone to starve to death. People also had more time for entertainment, and there were many delicacies that only emperors could eat now. , they can eat freely. When it is cold in winter, you can use machines to keep warm, and when it is hot in summer, you can also use machines to cool down. Pavilions hundreds of feet high can be seen everywhere, and rivers that frequently flood will also become the source of power to push machines. A natural chasm can also be turned into a path."
The more everyone listened, the more fascinated they became.
Xing Feng exclaimed: "If we continue to work hard with future generations, we may be able to realize such a future. By then, people will no longer have to worry about being oppressed and exploited, right?"
Liang Xiao shook his head.
"How is that possible? Even then, there will still be people who live a hard life, live tiredly, support others with their blood and sweat, and are ridiculed by them for not working hard enough. Even if you do well, there are countless alien races thousands of miles away who are watching. The world has always been a cannibalistic world, how can it be changed so easily?"
Xing Feng's eyes were full of confusion: "Why is this still happening..."
Liang Xiao said earnestly: "Because of human nature! History is like a game of chess, and human nature is the chess record. No matter what the move is, it is still the number of moves. In the final analysis, history is just a repeated interpretation of human nature. Wherever there are people, there will inevitably be Exploitation and oppression are just another way of doing things.”
Xing Feng fell into silence. After a moment, he looked at the flying snow in the sky and smiled sadly: "This snow is getting heavier and heavier."
Duan Yunyi and others couldn't help but feel disappointed.
What Liang Xiao said was too bizarre, but for some reason, they always felt that there would really be such a world thousands of years later.
After all, thousands of years ago, people only practiced slash-and-burn farming. Their tools evolved from stone tools to bronze tools, and then to iron tools.
People thousands of years ago would also find today's iron tools strange, right?
They originally thought that Xing Feng was describing a beautiful future to them.
In the end, is it still a cannibalistic world?
As an emperor, Duan Yunyi felt even more heavy-hearted.
Her father always warned the sisters to think of the people.
In fact, she is also aware of the plight of the people. All she can do is treat the people as kindly as possible and reduce exploitation.
This seems like a hopeless world?
The sad wind of hunting has been sounding for eternity, and it cannot express the desolation of the world.
Liang Xiao watched the snowflakes fall into his wine glass with firm eyes.
After a moment, Xing Feng said in a trembling voice: "I once thought that as long as more and more people think about the people, even if I cannot realize my vision in my lifetime, our descendants can also realize it. If it is like you Well, what’s the point of our efforts now?”
Liang Xiao said: "If you have read all the history books, you should know the story of Qi State's Taishi Jian."
Xing Feng nodded.
"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Cui Zhu, the official of Qi State, killed the king. The Taishi of Qi wrote straight books and recorded truthfully, but he was killed by Cui Zhu who became angry. The two younger brothers of Taishi succeeded his elder brother, and they still wrote straight books, and they were also killed by Cui Zhu. Zhu killed him. However, Taishi's third brother still kept his writing straight, and finally Cui Zhu had no choice but to admit it. Another Nan Shigong thought he had also been killed by Cui Zhu, so he came over with the bamboo slips in his arms, ready to continue. Record the regicide of Cui Zhu. All five of them can be good historians of ancient times!"
After Xing Feng finished speaking, he became even more curious and asked: "Is there any connection between this matter?"
Liang Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Every era has its own splendors and frustrations, and each generation has its own mission. As long as we do our best, promote the development of the times, continuously improve productivity, and improve lives, even if the people of future generations will still live in hardship, at least they will live better than The predecessors should be better and more relaxed, and they don’t always have to work only when the sun rises and breathe when the sun goes down.”
"Just like the historians of later generations, when faced with the pressure of kings to revise history, they took the events of Taishi of Qi as an example and wrote straightly. A hundred years later, you and I will be nothing more than a handful of loess, so what? The descendants of future generations will turn over the books. When I see you and me, I can at least know that: from ancient times to the present, there have always been people who have prayed for the people, and there are also people who have stepped forward to turn the tide before it fell, and to help the building before it collapsed. The spirit and deeds of the predecessors will always be inspiring and guide them forward so that they can believe that they are not alone.”
"So there is no need to be sad. A person's life is nothing more than life, death, and trade-offs. This life passes quickly. We can't control what happens after us, but we can become the saints and sages among the descendants, and they can be immortal monuments, so that they can be in confusion. Or when you need guidance, you won't just find a blank. This is the meaning of your and my existence."
Xing Feng stared at Liang Xiao blankly, and his originally dull eyes regained some of their sparkle.
The girls in the room couldn't help but be very excited.
They seemed to understand why he was so respected by Xing Feng.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he presses forward and remains determined!
This is his belief and his wisdom.
"The wine is hot, Mr. Xing, let's have a drink."
Liang Xiao said, cleaning Xing Feng's wine glass with warm wine and filling it for him and himself.
Xing Feng couldn't help but said in despair: "What are you drinking for? I seem to have a bright future, but in fact I have nothing. I can really do too little for the people, and I am not qualified to drink with you."
Liang Xiao solemnly said: "How about a toast to a future that is at least better than the present?"
Xing Feng said ashamedly: "What are you talking about?"
Liang Xiao thought for a moment and said with a serious face: "It seems too grand and far away. Then, how about I respect you and me for not changing my original intention after ten years?"
Xing Feng finally understood and raised his glass: "Okay, I'll toast you too, so that when I see you again, you will be worthy of the world."
"Well said, I like it!" Liang Xiao smiled heartily and raised his glass.
After the two clinked glasses, they drank it all in one gulp.
"To my original intention that will not change after ten years, to 'a future that is at least better than the present'..." In the room, Duan Yunyi and others looked deeply at Liang Xiao, who was drinking with Xing Feng, and their eyes suddenly became blurry. In the blink of an eye, two crystal drops bloomed on the ground.
This is a man’s romance and a hero’s romance!
His romance!
As the warm wine fell into his throat, Xing Feng's heart warmed and he solemnly said: "I have no regrets on this trip. If I face a dilemma in the future, I will try my best to protect as many people as possible."
Liang Xiao understood, and after having a few drinks with Xing Feng, he called Jiang Fuxue.
Li Xinwen lowered his head and followed Jiang Fuxue out with reddish eyes, saying nothing the whole time.
Xing Feng did not embarrass her and just said goodbye to Liang Xiao.
When she reached the door, Li Xinwen couldn't help but look back. Seeing that Liang Xiao was still watching, she couldn't help but feel shocked, turned around quickly, and left quickly.
After seeing Xing Feng off, Liang Xiao gently patted Jiang Fuxue's little head and said softly: "It's getting cold, go back and rest quickly."
Jiang Fuxue was looking at Liang Xiao with admiration on her face. She nodded obediently but stayed where she was.
"What's wrong, Xue'er?"
Liang Xiaozheng was confused when he heard the sound of the door opening in the distance. He turned around and was shocked!
Where did these three girls come from?
"Your Majesty, why are you here?!"
