Chapter two hundred and ninety-two, confused red pupil

After several days of recuperation, the girls' physical condition finally improved, their high fever faded, their appetite gradually improved, and gradually their eyes became brighter.

For these children who suffered a lot of suffering, Jiang Yu did not require them to recognize the cruelty of reality. Instead, he used wooden escape to build a simple amusement park, including swings, seesaws, and slides. Anyway, he would create whatever he had in the community park.

Hei Tong and the other three little girls slowly regained their child's nature and spent the whole day playing in the amusement park. When they were tired of playing, they would just sleep. There was no wonder that Kang Kang and the others would develop normally.

However, Chi Tong was not very interested in these toys and always pestered Jiang Yu to ask some philosophical questions.

"Why don't the nobles have to work?"

"Every year, farmers have to pay so much tax to the nobles, but the farmers are clearly responsible for farming, and the nobles have done nothing, so why can they get food from the farmers?"

"Why didn't everyone resist? It's obvious that the emperor has only one person and everyone doesn't listen to him, isn't that enough?"

Ever since she told Chi Tong the story of a little match girl, she has been particularly interested in these issues. She is not good at thinking and seems to have begun to work hard to think.

Jiang Yu didn't bother with it and always answered her questions patiently.

"The nobles have fiefs, and there are lords in the fiefs. The lords will pay taxes to the nobles. When the nobles have money, they naturally don't have to work hard."

"As for paying taxes, it is true that the farmers are working, but all the farmland is theoretically aristocratic. The farmers 'renounce' the land of the nobles for production, so they must pay rent to the nobles, otherwise there will be no land to grow grain."

"And the Emperor, he is indeed only one person, but the Emperor is the source of the legitimate rights and interests of all nobles, ministers and others."

"For the position, we must support the emperor. This is a kind of mutual relationship. In fact, it is not the emperor who is ruling, but the emperor's agents who are ruling the empire. The emperor gives the agents the right to rule."

"And all the dividends brought by the emperor (brilliant clothes and food, a large number of spouses...) are actually just a means for the ministers to raise their value. Various royal etiquettes and sacrificial ceremonies are also a way to promote their own dominance."

"When the existence of the emperor makes the rights and interests of these people unable to be protected, that is, when the emperor is too tyrannical or stupid, someone will stand up and resist."

"Resistance is not mostly about making the people of the world live a better life, but just to gain greater power and more benefits."

“…”

Jiang Yu tried very hard to explain it to Chi Tong in a simple and easy-to-understand way, but every time the child finished listening, his eyes turned into mosquito-shaped repellent, and he was spinning in place.

Indeed, these things are still too complicated for a child. Not to mention children, even if you find an adult in this world, it is probably difficult to understand.

That is, those nobles who are officials can understand it, but if they knew that Jiang Yu had summarized this theory and even tried to spread it, they would definitely unite and eliminate Jiang Yu at all costs.

Only ignorant pariahs can better maintain rule, let these vested interests be above the top, implement absurd virginity and up to 70% of taxes, and let these people lie in high positions to enjoy the benefits of rights.

This is why the nobles all regard knowledge as important, and there are also the existence of things such as "forbidden words" and "forbidden words".

If you violate the verbal ban, such as accidentally chanting the emperor's name, even if it is a homophonic word, according to the law of the empire, you will be beheaded directly.

However, although Chi Tong could not understand this knowledge well, she still understood one thing: the aristocratic system is a bad system.

The nobles control farmland, food and knowledge, suck the blood of the people, and eat the meat of the people. They are all evil guys.

The farmland output in this world is very good. Even if you have to pay high agricultural taxes, the daily life and food of farmers will not be affected.

Because the rich energy in the air can give birth to very powerful creatures, such as various super dangerous species with powerful abilities. Even humans who cannot absorb energy well have a much stronger physique than humans in the main world.

The same is true for plants. Although it has not been selected and optimized, the crops and fruits here grow very vigorously and have full grains.

However, this must be without natural disasters.

If there are extreme weather such as drought and floods, the farmland will only have no harvest.

But the aristocrats who are accustomed to exploitation will not care about these. Those who are a little conscientious may also exempt the taxes of the year. If they go to the next year, they will be scattered all their skins.

Moreover, there is no such thing as opening a warehouse of grain here. The nobles would rather rot in the warehouse than take it out to help the poor.

Due to the existence of imperial instruments and ministerial instruments, ordinary people could not resist the power of the empire at all.

Unless everyone is really forced to death and even the rights of the nobles begin to shake, the overthrow of the empire is impossible.

In the original work, it was because the ministers were too presumptuous that many nobles were also violated, and revolutionary troops emerged.

You should know that many people in these revolutionary troops defected from the empire.

For example, Najeta, the leader of the night attack, was the former general of the Empire, and many commanders of the Revolutionary Army, and was also the former officials of the Empire.

Even if these people overthrew the empire, they would only follow the old path.

History has proved that rule by man is never reliable.

As the saying goes, rules are determined by people.

In a country ruled by law, the formulation of rules will also be restricted by relevant rules, and there will always be an invisible hand that binds the entire operation.

In a society ruled by man, the restrictive effect of rules will only remain at one level, and when a higher class reaches the "club" of decision makers.

The Revolutionary Army is obviously not a saint who has no desires and no desires. With the collapse of the empire, the time for the cake will always come.

Perhaps benevolent politics can be maintained in the early stages, but as time goes by, the rulers will be replaced and it is likely that they will only become another empire.

If Jiang Yu wants to help, he will naturally help to the end. He will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

A set of strict rules and regulations is necessary, and he spent several days writing a "outline".

This is just the first draft, and there will be many more things to be modified later.

Then he took the children to the settlement of the Baruts tribe and prepared to hand them over to the care of the Baruts tribe's patriarch.

On the way, he found that Esdes had actually arrived at the imperial capital at some point, but after knowing Esdes' identity, he was not worried much.

What's more, he had planted spores in Esdes' hair long ago. As long as he encountered danger, he could save her life and bring her back to him.

A few days later, he walked by water and finally arrived at the familiar small village.
