"What's the meaning?"
Su Chengwang was really confused.
Seeing Su Chengwang's eagerness for knowledge, Shen Qingyun said helplessly: "Actually, there are many down-and-out nobles among the Han clan, so the difference in origin is nothing.
What really distances the two is material. "
"substance?"
"It's money, silver." Shen Qingyun said: "The gap between the rich and the poor is an insurmountable gap between the two. Only when the material foundation of the Han clan is not much different from that of the noble clan, and the starting point of the two is the same, the Han clan Only for the nobles can they be competitive."
"But the officialdom is dark. If the Han clan becomes powerful, how can the noble clan sit idly by and do nothing? They will naturally join forces to suppress it."
Shen Qingyun sneered, "The darkness in the officialdom is for capable people, and those who are suppressed are also capable people. The Han clan today is not even qualified to be suppressed, is it?"
"But..." Su Chengwang frowned, but was still speechless for a while.
When Shen Qingyun saw him in deep thought, he didn't bother him and just waited quietly.
"So, you think the fundamental solution to the problem is to make these Han people rich, right?"
"Of course." Shen Qingyun nodded, "It is normal in the world to laugh at the poor but not at prostitution. For ordinary people, living is their first priority. Only on the premise of ensuring food and clothing will they pursue more. First, they must Only when they have enough to eat can they want to eat well; only when they are dressed warmly can they want to dress beautifully; only when they have enough food and clothing can they think about pursuing fame and fortune.
It is impossible to eliminate class differences and the gap between rich and poor. "
In fact, this truth is easy to understand, because class is a tool used to rule.
For thousands of years, in order to maintain the stability of their rule, rulers could not take the initiative to eliminate the class differences between scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.
Even in Shen Qingyun's era, this gap existed in reality, and this gap was actually necessary.
Each class is actually the structure of a stable society. If any link is missing, the society will come to an end. The difference is the dignity of the class.
And only when there are differences among the rulers, ordinary people will become the chips in the game. At this time, it is possible for a large number of "loyal ministers and famous generals" to emerge from the bottom of society.
Of course, this does not mean that children from poor families must not be able to excel. There will always be one or two talented people who strive to become the first class, but such people are really rare.
"You're right, this is indeed impossible." Su Chengwang nodded heavily.
Shen Qingyun was stunned when he saw this, a little surprised.
He thought it might take a long time for Su Chengwang to understand this truth.
It's not that Shen Qingyun thinks he is smarter than Su Chengwang, but that as a native of this world, Su Chengwang has his own cognitive limitations. On the other hand, Shen Qingyun's knowledge is much more advanced.
"Actually, this is not the first time I have heard similar words." Su Chengwang looked straight at Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun was stunned, "Who else has said such a thing?"
"The Grand Tutor of the Yan Dynasty a hundred years ago, Li Tongya and Li Wenzhenggong."
"That's not surprising." Shen Qingyun nodded secretly.
Shen Qingyun determined that Li Youya was also a time-traveling senior, so it was really not surprising at all to say similar words from his mouth.
"Led by the elders Shen Xian and Li Wenzheng, since the time of Emperor Renzong of the Yan State, they have opened official schools in various places in the Yan State to support the people of the world to study for free, trying to create a prosperous age where everyone is like a dragon. However, this national policy has only been implemented for more than 20 years. The year passed without any illness, and after the death of Xuanzong, official education was banned, and the Yan court still used the imperial examination to select scholars."
Su Chengwang shook his head, "If you think about it carefully, what you just said is actually the same as what Li Wenzhenggong did. Studying is quite expensive but it is the only channel for promotion. Li Wenzhenggong wants to let the empire bear this cost, but you want to What I want is to make the people rich first so that they can pay for themselves.
In fact, there is essentially no difference. "
"But he took too big a step and ended up in a doomed situation." Shen Qingyun shrugged and hummed: "Li Youya seems to be overestimating his abilities if he wants to make changes on his own."
Su Chengwang did not refute what he said, but said leisurely: "As long as you have power, any difficulty will disappear under the sword."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyun was shocked when he heard this.
"If Duke Li Wenzheng controls the Yan Kingdom for another thirty years, he may not be able to change the current situation."
Shen Qingyun looked solemn and nodded in agreement.
"You are right. If Li Miya can always convince Dayan Chaotang, maybe he can really do it."
"So, no matter what you do, you must have the power to do it. As long as no one can restrict it, you will definitely achieve your goal!" Su Chengwang's eyes flickered with uncertainty.
"It's a pity that if you had been by Li Miya's side back then, maybe the Yan Kingdom would have unified Dongyuan."
"ha..."
Su Chengwang's sullen face suddenly wrinkled, "You bastard, you really can't listen to any good words."
Shen Qingyun chuckled and said: "I just want to enjoy my wealth and glory now. This goal is really easy to achieve."
Su Chengwang shook his head and said: "Based on what you just said to me, there is no other person in the world who can say that with such knowledge, he should join the empire and serve the people.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can only benefit yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world..."
"Wrong." Shen Qingyun said solemnly: "It should be that if you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are rich, you can be happy!"
"Bastard!" Su Chengwang's face turned green.
The old man's vocabulary is really lacking, and he can't say anything except a bastard.
Shen Qingyun has heard so much about this kind of hobbit that he doesn't care at all.
In the next room, Yue Lianshuang listened completely to the conversation between the two, and her heart could not calm down for a long time.
"Shen Qingyun..." She murmured in a low voice.
After a while, Yue Lianshuang calmed down her surprise. She stood up and came to the window. She said to the wind and snow in the sky: "Didn't you say that you have found your whereabouts? Why has no news come yet?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, two brothers were indeed injured by him last night. We are searching for them. Please be patient, Your Highness."
The response came from the wind and snow.
Yue Lianshuang hummed: "If you can't find him for one day, then won't I be able to leave Liangzhou City for one day?"
"It's just a matter of seconding His Highness's accompanying bodyguards. If His Highness can't wait to return to the Imperial Capital, the Seventh Department can send someone to escort His Highness."
"You?" Yue Lianshuang sneered, "I can't even catch an injured person and ask you to escort me. I'm really worried."
There was no response in the wind and snow.
It was approaching dusk, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
Shen Qingyun and Su Chengwang were also preparing to go back and left the restaurant together.
There were not many people on the road at this time, and most of the vendors had already withdrawn their stalls. Only some shops were still open.
Shen Qingyun saw a beggar squatting there opposite the restaurant, stepped forward and placed a piece of broken silver in front of him without saying much.
Su Chengwang saw this and smiled: "You do have some kindness."
"What's the use of being kind?" Shen Qingyun shrugged and said, "I can only help him for a while. If nothing happens, he probably won't survive this winter."
Su Chengwang paused when he heard the words, and the look in his eyes darkened a lot.
It is easy to save a beggar, but it is not easy to save thousands of beggars in the world.
Hearing this, the beggar raised his head and glanced at the two of them, but neither of them noticed it.
"Let's go."
The two got into a carriage and soon disappeared at the corner of the street.
The beggar picked up the broken silver, put a wooden box wrapped in tattered cloth on his back, and was about to leave. However, before he took a few steps, several figures suddenly appeared and blocked his way. Those who were still open The store also closed its door instantly.
The beggar was not surprised and simply said: "I thought you were all blind."
Shen Qingyun and Su Chengwang left, and Yue Lianshuang also left the restaurant.
Seeing the people from the Seventh Department surrounding the beggar, Yue Lianshuang snorted: "Since we have already locked the target, why are we still delaying in taking action?"
A person appeared behind Yue Lianshuang at some point and responded: "Firstly, we don't want to make too much noise, otherwise it will not end well. Secondly, the old Prime Minister and Prince Si Nanbo were still here just now. If we are not careful, It’ll be bad if you hurt anyone.”
Yue Lianshuang hummed softly: "Then you are not afraid of hurting me?"
But the man smiled and said: "Does the princess really think that all seven tribes are freeloaders? How can the dignified young master of Yulinshan be a weak person?"
"Ah..."
Yue Lianshuang sneered, but turned around and left.
"I hope you can successfully catch him this time, otherwise you, the leader of Liangzhou, will be done."
The man's expression suddenly turned ugly when he heard this, and he bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, the Princess."
Seeing Yue Lianshuang leaving, the boss shouted sternly: "Come on, catch him!"
Hearing this, everyone rushed towards the beggar at the same time.
However, he saw that the beggar was agile and moved lightly, avoiding the crowd's arrest, and quickly retreated.
Upon seeing this, the principal raised his hand slightly, and several people appeared on the left and right, blocking the beggar's path.
The beggar stopped and swayed slightly. The severe pain in his waist and abdomen made him frown.
"Hmph, you have already failed once, and this time will be no exception."
The beggar's eyes flashed, and he turned around. Countless hidden needles suddenly shot out from the wooden box on his back. Everyone tried to avoid him, but several people were injured by the shots and fell to the ground wailing in pain.
When the beggar saw this, he took the opportunity to exert force on his feet and jumped onto the house.
But when his body flew up, the beggar felt panic for no reason, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart.
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and a throwing spear tore through the wind and snow, shooting out.
"not good!"
The beggar exclaimed, and in a hurry, he could only protect himself with a wooden box.
I don't know what kind of tough wood this wooden box is made of, but the gun tip hit it hard, but it didn't leave any mark.
However, the blow was so powerful and heavy that the beggar couldn't bear the force. He could only turn his body sideways and release the force. However, his body was also hit far away and he stumbled to the ground, but he could only breathe heavily.
"Yulinshan!"
The beggar gritted his teeth, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
I saw everyone making way, and four majestic and capable people arrived. Four throwing spears stood behind each, and they each held one in their hands. Their eyes were cold and their aura was extremely frightening.
