West Water Gate's words rendered everyone speechless. At this point, Fan Lian had already been helped into the carriage by his nephew, and had no face to come out again.
After the guards had been escorted away, the terrified families began to pack up their belongings and leave. In the end, only one family member was left unresigned and wanted to retort.
The deported accountant walked in front of Old platoon leader and bowed. He then performed a common etiquette that was commonly seen among scholars. "Master, you seem to be a man who can read and understand things …" "Let me ask you one last thing!"
"I've also read a few years of the Book of Virtue, and I also want to become famous, but unfortunately, the imperial court has already paid a heavy price and the imperial examinations are getting narrower and narrower. I have no choice but to give up the Imperial examinations and write people letters, write down accounts, and beg for food …"
"It's a pity that my wife is being targeted by the cruel officials of my hometown. They're lusting after her beauty in order to frame me. They want to capture me and put me in prison to end my life …" "It was all thanks to my good friend revealing this information in advance that I brought my wife and daughter here …"
"I already have nowhere else to go in the Great Qing Dynasty, so I have no home to return to. I am also completely disappointed with this place, so I will cut my braids!" I have nothing to cling to... But I just don't understand. What is my wife's daughter getting in the way of the Prime Minister? Why do you have to put your foot down? If I don't understand this, I won't be at ease! "
Old platoon leader nodded his head: "I respect you as a reasonable scholar. Since you want to understand, then I will tell you a few words honestly …"
"First of all, in every important job in the Ryukyu, the Prime Minister has a strict order. That is, enter your nationality, cut your braids, and put down your feet … "This is an iron law that no one can change!" After he finished speaking, the Old platoon leader gave Fan Ru's carriage a disdainful glance as he said with a cold smile, "No one should even think of disobeying the Prime Minister's decree. It is all wishful thinking!"
"I won't beat around the bush when talking to smart people! Why do you get a high salary for these core and important jobs? Because these are all technical jobs, as the old saying goes, it's called craftsmanship... Is teacher trying to teach you all crafts for nothing? Do you still want the rules? "
"Everyone present should know, that learning craftsmanship from Master is something that Master will give you for a lifetime. That is the path of survival, a favor as great as the heavens! Whose disciple would not be beaten and scolded? "No rules, no limits …"
"And the culinary arts that the Prime Minister gave you? That's a golden rice bowl that can change your fate that you can't even imagine! The craftsmen in the iron mills and machinery factories? "He is the blue-collar craftsman mentioned by the Prime Minister. You can level up. As long as you study hard, as long as you are smart and work hard in the Special Zone …"
Old platoon leader suddenly looked at the surrounding refugees with a playful look and said loudly, "As long as you listen to the rules and work loyally, as long as you are able to improve your skills day by day … In the end, the Prime Minister will change your bodies sooner or later! Do you believe that I can be an official? "
How could this be possible? Liars are not so deceptive, but Old platoon leader immediately followed up, "Don't think that I am joking with you. Look at those Master Yang s in the workshop, do you really think that they are all scholars? "That's right, that's right, that's right, that's not right either …"
"The Master Yang who taught you have actually never read the Four Books and Five Classics. I have been studying technology from the very beginning, I am called Physics, my research was completed over ten years ago, my status is even higher than an official, and the country would even grant me an official position. This is the reason why I, a foreigner, am so adamant about my research …"
"Now you know what D.C. is teaching you, right? This was the weapon of a nation! It was an absolute work that not even gold could do! Do you know what it is? "
Old platoon leader's decryption attracted the attention of a large group of refugees. They forgot their fear and stared at him hopefully. It was obvious that a few of them were swallowing their saliva. They were completely attracted by these words.
Old platoon leader smiled as he looked at the accountant in front of him, "Do you understand now? Since you have such great benefits, how can you not have constraints? What I've taught you is true skill. What if you learn to run without a conscience? [This world is full of ingrate …] Tell me, what do you think we should do? "
patted his shoulder speechlessly as he looked around, "This man!" You always sing whatever mountain you get, and you have to follow the rules of whoever carries the rice … How can you not lose some of your bad habits if you want to integrate into a new world? "
"To put it bluntly, if you go up to Liang Shan, you will have to hand over your name. Otherwise, who would give you a free meal?" You've taken all the advantages in the world. You can't bear to part with the high salary and yet you don't want to follow the rules of the Special Region. "Grandmother …"
Many of them wanted to retort, but they didn't know how to. Some of them could retort, but they didn't dare to retort as they looked at the dead animals on the ground.
The Old platoon leader calmed down his emotions and said to the accountant, "If I were you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave. I would lower my head and admit my mistake and release my wife and daughter's feet first … If you can even give up on your braids, can't you give up on a footcloth? "
"In the end, I told you the truth. How could you be so heartless? Would his own daughter, ah, be able to wrap her legs around a bone and break it? They've all transformed? Don't you think it's cruel …? "
What he had just said was already showing his benevolence! What Old platoon leader said was the truth, and the surrounding people all looked at them with rethinking faces. Everyone understood that their choice was in their own hands, and they were right when they thought about it, giving a big boss a golden rice bowl, they had to follow their own rules.
He had to at least think of a way to ensure his loyalty! Stop working here for a few years and run away with your skills. Shouldn't the prime minister be on his guard?
Old platoon leader looked at him with a face of goodwill. He was sure that the other party would abandon him in broad daylight, and even give up on his braids. How could he not be willing to part with a footcloth?
In a normal script, the man in the accounts would have to lower his head and say a few words of advice, then push back his horse and turn around. He never would have thought that the plot would be reversed today.
"Husband, if you force us two to let go …" We will die here! " Everyone turned to look. It turned out that the bookkeeper's wife was holding her daughter in her left hand and had a sharp silver hairpin in her right, aiming at his throat.
"Wuwuwu …" I don't want to be a woman without a wife. I don't want to be poked in the spine by others … "I'd rather die than let go …"
"This unreasonable god! Can't you give us a way out? What am I getting in your way with my little feet? Why do you always have to make things difficult for me... I don't want to live anymore! "
As he spoke, the silver hairpin suddenly stabbed down, sending blood flying everywhere!
