Everyone's expressions were somewhat confused. These ordinary soldiers had never read a book and were illiterate at all. They needed others to explain the truth to them. How could they possibly know what Li Ke said.
"When talking about this issue, we first need to conduct an analysis of the entire social class of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said calmly, "In other words, who is the cause of all this? This is the primary issue, and also The fundamental problem. And this problem starts with class."
"What are the classes of the Tang Dynasty? I believe everyone knows that they are scholars, peasants, industrialists, merchants, nobles, and ordinary people. But in fact, these are shackles placed on everyone by some people. The first class is the aristocratic families. They represent They are the main controllers of the entire society and are also the biggest force that opposes ordinary people's rise to power, especially the big clans and big families. They have always firmly stood against the progress of society and the country!"
"Why? Because they control the social resources of the entire country, control the books that can change one's destiny through ordinary learning knowledge, and control a lot of society's wealth! So they will never allow anyone to destroy this system! If someone stands up, they will Spare no effort to beat this man to death!"
"The second class is the ordinary petty bourgeoisie. What is the petty bourgeoisie? It means that the family has small assets, but it is not enough to control social resources. However, their lives are better than most ordinary people. This group of people prefer to take things as they come. , they don’t have much need to change the status quo, but if someone is willing to change, they are willing to follow.”
"The third class is countless ordinary people. You are all one of these people. Your family has no wealth, but you are willing to sacrifice your life for your livelihood and for the country, but you have never changed your class throughout your life. Opportunities, even if once the family encounters misfortune, you have to sell your largest asset, the land."
"And at that time, without Yongye Tian, you will fall into another abyss, unregistered households, that is, low status, and become slaves of noble families."
Everyone's eyes were shining. They were uneducated, but when Li Ke said this in plain language, everyone understood it! Think about the situation around you, and as long as you compare and verify them one by one, you can easily understand that what Li Ke said is correct!
Zhang Xi's scalp was numb... His Highness's words... What are you doing!
"At this time, I think someone is going to ask, so what about the emperor, the largest aristocrat in the Tang Dynasty? Is he also the culprit?!" Li Ke dropped another bomb lightly.
Everyone was a little confused by the explosion. These words... are so disrespectful! But still no one spoke, everyone was listening carefully.
"No, you are wrong, because the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the royal family stand with all of you. Strictly speaking, the royal family belongs to the ordinary class!" Li Ke began to change his concept.
The soldiers below were in a daze. Is Your Majesty with them?
"Because, both I and my father hope that all of you ordinary people will live better and better! Because the better everyone lives, the country of the Tang Dynasty will become more and more permanent, and the country will become more and more stable, and the royal family will naturally become more and more prosperous. Stability. What did the Tang Dynasty rely on to conquer the world?! It’s you! It’s the millions of Li people!”
"So in order to make everyone live a good life, my father implemented the land equalization system and distributed Yongye fields to all the people, so that everyone could have fields to farm, clothes to wear, schools to study, and everyone could take the imperial examination. Become a pillar of the country!"
"Although I am a prince, I have always had a dream. This dream is to take root in the Tang Dynasty and among ordinary people like you."
"I have a dream that one day, this country will become more and more powerful and dominate the world. It will not make peace, pay indemnities, cede land, or pay tribute. The emperor will guard the country and the king will die in the country."
"I dream that one day, outside the city, in a teahouse or a brothel, the prince can sit on the ground with the common people, just like you and me, talking about brotherhood and discussing national affairs."
“I dream that one day, everyone will have a book to read, a farm to farm, clothes to wear, a house to live in, enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and everything to be prosperous at home.”
"I dream that one day, my descendants, Li Ke, will live in a country where they gain social status and wealth based on their talent and character, not their birthplace."
“I dream that one day, girls and boys can take to the streets openly and contribute their strength to the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, instead of spending their whole lives in the boudoir, having to raise their husbands and children, and become the vassals of men. "
"I dream that one day, the Tang Dynasty can really achieve this. Everything the sun and the moon shine on, and everything the rivers do, are all Tang soil!"
"I, Li Ke, will work hard throughout my life to establish my mind for the heaven and the earth, to establish my destiny for the people, to carry on my unique knowledge for the saints, and to create peace for all generations!"
As Li Ke's words became more and more high-spirited, the crowd around him became more and more excited. Even Zhang Xi's mood became excited. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the figure on the stage. He was so tall at the moment!
When Li Ke said his last words, almost all the officers and soldiers stood up from the ground, including Zhang Xi. Everyone knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "I am willing to die for His Majesty the King of Shu!"
"I am willing to die for His Highness the King of Shu!"
"I am willing to die for His Highness the King of Shu!"
The uniform roar echoed throughout the entire Weishui River, but the only ones that could be heard here were the craftsmen responsible for building infrastructure here in the distance.
Hearing these roars, these craftsmen curled their lips in disdain and died for His Highness the King of Shu? It’s your turn, we haven’t had our turn yet! snort!
Li Ke waited for everyone to vent their emotions, and then suppressed his hand. When everyone calmed down, Li Ke continued to speak: "Our strength is still very weak, and I am not afraid to tell everyone, even if my father wants to eliminate the influence of powerful families on the country. I can't control it, even if I am a prince."
"So we have to develop in secret. Our ideals may not be known to everyone. The cause we want to achieve will not be prominent for a while, but it will exist forever! Just like a spark, although it is small, a spark can still start a prairie fire! And The power of each of us people may be just a drop of water, but the combined power of all the people in the world is like a raging wave!"
"I, Li Ke, will try my best to make every one of you live a good life. As long as there is something for me to eat, there will be something for everyone to eat. I hope you can spread my ideals, because it is not just for me, Li Ke." The ideal of man, but the ideal of all ordinary people in the world!”
"I know that none of you have read, but it doesn't matter. I will give you a team and send a political commissar. His task is to help you understand your ideals and help you read and write. If you have any difficulties, you can tell him, If you have anything you can’t figure out, you can tell him.”
"As long as the political commissar can do it, he will definitely help you. If he can't do it, there will be his superiors. If his superiors can't do it, there will be me! If I can't do it, then we will work hard together!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone shouted loudly again.
