521 Ethical Standards
I have also been used to seeing too many such evils, and the hearts of the officers and soldiers became cold, and their expectations for the world turned into smoke and dissipated in the darkness.
The officers and soldiers curled sarcastic smiles on their lips, and suddenly they wanted to hear how Xu Yue, the leader of the Xu family army, explained the sinisterness of the world to two yellow-haired children.
Two such delicate little babies are both the Son of God and the Pearl of the Xu family. According to the beautiful sons of the aristocratic families they have seen in the past, the nobles and elders will not let this lush world defile the children's innocent hearts.
I think the leader of the Xu family army would not be willing to let his children know about the sinister world.
However, what the officers and soldiers did not expect was that Xu Yue not only had to tell her children about the dangers of this world, but also told them why this world became like this.
Xu Yue drew an irregular figure on the small blackboard. At first glance, she looked like a rooster without a tail.
She took out the red chalk and pointed the position at the center of the figure, "We are now living on this land, with the upper half connecting the Huns, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and the lower half connecting the vast ocean."
"This red dot is the place where the emperor is the head of the highest administrator who lives in this land."
"The structure of our society is a management model where one class manages another from top to bottom."
"From top to bottom, we are kings, waiters, generals, local governors, counties, towns and villages."
"The village has two lowest classes, farmers and slaves, which are the lowest classes. Each class cannot directly jump to the upper level and directly reflect to the upper level..."
"Our Central Plains is vast and sparsely populated. In addition, the backward civilization and road traffic are inconvenient, which makes the lower-level people more closed, thus forming the absolute authority of village chiefs, or county magistrates and county magistrates in various small places..."
"When people have the power in their hands but cannot control their own desires, society begins to collapse."
"And the kings, princes, generals and ministers in the highest throne have the greatest power. Once they have a little personal desire, it will be a disaster for the lower classes."
"According to Daqing's original tax system, if Wang wants to build a palace this year, he will need a certain fee."
"And after this fee is calculated by the financial officials, the charging task will be distributed to various prefectures and counties, so that the prefects and prefects can collect taxes and fees from the people."
"There are many people in the world. One person only needs to pay one money to meet the tasks received by the upper class."
"But the governor and the prefect will not come down to collect it in person, they also need to hire an official..."
Xu Yue looked at Zhao Jian and others, "Here, just like them, the county magistrate also lacks staff, so he will use money to hire staff."
"Where does the county magistrate's money come from?" Xu Dongbei asked curiously.
Xu Yue answered: "A portion of the taxes and fees paid by the people in the jurisdiction."
Xu Dongbei's eyes rolled and he said with joy: "If I were the county magistrate, I could secretly buy a little more Tangtang for myself, right?"
Xu Yue shook her head: "No, there are other supervisors who will supervise and verify the amount."
Xu Dongbei suddenly lost his face and sighed "ah" with a look of disappointment.
Xu Pingyuan suddenly laughed, his eyes full of cunning like her grandfather Xu Da.
The little girl leaned over and said to Xu Yue in a low voice: "Then can I give the supervisor some benefits to tell him not to tell me the money I stolen for candy."
The little girl's voice was not loud, but it was not small either. On the quiet morning official road, Zhao Jian and others could hear it clearly.
Isn’t the idea that this little girl is what their lord is doing?
Not only did he bribe the regulatory officials, he also brought all officials from other places to his own hands with his interests, becoming a veritable one-man show.
Even dealing with the top is a series of lies.
Of course, everyone is like this, and in the great times, it is normal to do this.
Those who don't do this have become aliens instead.
When Xu Yue heard her niece's words, she coldly glanced at her father who was pretending to be fine.
Xu Da coughed twice, simply closed his eyes and sat up cross-legged, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him. He was just an old immortal cultivator who was invincible.
Xu Yue snorted lightly, then said to her niece: "The output of farmers is limited every year. Have you told you that the crop yields outside are low now? Is it still not enough for a person to eat acre of land?"
Xu Dongbei nodded. She remembered that the aunt said that people outside couldn't even drink porridge for every meal, and they ate wild vegetables and rice bran that stuck in their throats.
Xu Yue continued: "I can't eat enough, and I have to pay half of the rent, plus the labor cost of taxes, so I share it with the people, and the taxes I have to pay several times higher than before."
"Then the people will have less food. In order to survive, they not only farm, but also have to work outside to make ends meet. If they encounter a disaster year and there is no harvest of grain, they will not be able to survive at all."
"With such a result, do you still want to secretly use taxes to satisfy your selfish desires?" Xu Yue asked.
Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan looked at each other and shook their heads together.
"Auntie, we were wrong." The two little ones apologized seriously, as if they had caused countless people to be displaced and starved to death on the way to survive.
Xu Yue patted the two little guys' heads with satisfaction and praised: "If you know your mistakes, you will correct them, and you will be a good child."
He looked up at Zhao Jian and other officers and soldiers, and they all looked dissatisfied. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve moral standards.
Good moral standards can make people restrain their own selfish desires and make the entire society easier to manage.
Xu Yue asked the kingfisher to pick up some stones of different sizes on the roadside, write down the names of each class, and then build a pyramid to remove the "people" on the base.
In an instant, the entire pyramid collapsed and scattered all over the ground. The king, who was in the highest position, fell the most because he fell to the car because he fell to him the most. He fell directly under the car and was crushed into two pieces by the wheels.
Zhao Jian watched the stone with the word "king" falling high and was crushed into two pieces by the wheels Xu Jiajun was riding. He felt the throat was dry and his heart beat faster. He hurriedly pulled out the water bag and wanted to drink a sip of water to suppress the surging emotion.
However, he didn't dare to sleep all night last night. To relieve his tension, he had drunk all his bag of water.
When I saw Xu Yue and others in the morning, I put all my mind on observing them, and I forgot to add water to the water bag.
