Chapter 477 On the Root
“After Emperor Zun entered the School Sect, Tie Fengling had already learned about Emperor Zun and his Heavenly Dynasty.
"But there is one thing I don't understand. I hope Your Majesty can solve it for me!" Tie Fengling said.
"Please speak!" Zhou Zheng said with a smile.
"Why does Your Majesty require the people under the rule of the Heavenly Dynasty to complete the so-called compulsory education? Not only do they learn literature, but they also learn martial arts. Your Majesty even specially engraved a seal for all your subjects to allow them to practice your magic!" Tie Fengling asked seriously.
It is understandable that the laws of the Celestial Empire spread outward from the Golden Peach City, and various laws and regulations were gradually improved. However, the mandatory requirement of compulsory education is the only thing that is difficult to understand.
Even if parents or elders do not allow their children of school age to go to school and complete compulsory education, they will still be subject to criminal punishment.
Such behavior is too extravagant!
Education and studies have never been a cheap thing, and the number of people who can read is not much more than the number of people who can practice martial arts in the world.
If children from poor families want to go to school, they must need support from the state.
To support compulsory education across the country, the annual cost is no less than launching a war.
And no one can be sure whether an educated person is good or bad. If those who are cruel by nature are allowed to learn more, wouldn't the harm caused be greater?
"Before answering this question, let me ask you a question first. In your opinion, what is the cause of all the chaos in this world?" Zhou Zheng asked seriously.
"It's because of human greed! Human desire! Human selfishness! Human emotions!" Tie Fengling gave a serious answer.
"Then, is there any way to eliminate and resolve the greed and selfishness in people's hearts?" Zhou Zheng asked again.
"...No!" Tie Fengling paused for a moment, and finally gave the answer of these two words.
"That's right! You can't!
"Every life in this world comes into this world. From the day of birth, two desires are engraved deep in the soul! They cannot be erased!
“One is for survival, the other is for reproduction!
“In order to survive, we need food, land, and various supplies to fight against natural disasters and man-made disasters caused by competition for resources!
“So, from the primitive era, when individuals were the unit, to the family, and later to the tribe, and then to the city-state kingdom, the purpose of developing power was to accumulate greater power and compete for more resources to support their own survival.
“After having abundant resources, people’s thoughts will change from simple survival to living, and then develop into enjoyment. This is an inevitable law. The general trend of all living things in the world cannot be changed by anyone’s personal will!
"And reproduction is even simpler! To put it bluntly, it's lust, to put it more noblely, it's inheritance! The former is personal instinct and personal enjoyment, the latter is the continuation of bloodline and the spread of civilization.
"After the continuation of the family line, when the union of two people is linked to interests, resources and relationships, competition and scramble will occur again.
"When the two most basic instincts of all living things gradually become violent and bloody, the chaos can no longer be stopped!
“However, although some things cannot be prevented, they can be guided!
“Let everyone understand the truth and let them have their own wisdom and ideas!
"At least we should make sure that they won't be so easily deceived by the words of various ambitious people as they were before.
“This is to enlighten the whole people! Only when everyone has their own wisdom and learns to think, many problems in this world will be reduced spontaneously!
“As for teaching them to practice magic, the most important thing is to let them apply the power of magic to their lives and make their daily lives more convenient!
"For example, medical techniques can treat most of the injuries that one might encounter in life.
“Water escape and earth escape techniques can be better used in planting, improving productivity, and making it easier to open up wasteland and build fortifications.
"Of course, I don't deny that when necessary, these people can all use the magic they have practiced for years on the battlefield to protect themselves and their families!"
After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Tie Fengling, waiting for her response.
“I have to say, your idea is very beautiful!
"But aren't you afraid of cultivating more ambitious people?" Tie Fengling asked.
"If there are one or two people who are intelligent and have desires, they are called behind-the-scenes masters. If there are ten or a hundred of them, they are called ambitious people. But what about thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions?
"If everyone wants to use others to achieve their own goals, and everyone wants to start a riot in order to gain a higher position and more resources, then this riot will not happen!
"At that time, although desires cannot be curbed, the means to achieve desires can no longer be achieved by simple force!
“Therefore, the direction of the struggle will gradually shift from being based mainly on force to being based mainly on intelligence!
“Although there may still be families torn apart and people killed, by that time, at least the impact will not be as severe as it is now, with corpses and blood everywhere!
"And if the world really develops to that stage, perhaps someone will come up with a new way to transfer the dispute from the real space to the virtual space!" Zhou Zheng said with a smile.
"I have to say, your idea is indeed wonderful!" Tie Fengling said!
"As long as national laws can be maintained and implemented, and everyone's behavior is restricted by a basic rules framework, this will be the best solution that can be found at this stage!"
"If we could have a set of laws that are constantly improving! A set of management that has laws to follow, abides by them, punishes those who violate them, and enforces them strictly! A selfless supervision and verification system!
“Perhaps the twenty-four words proposed by the Emperor were not delusional!”
Tie Fengling finally let out a sigh!
"What do you think? Do you want to join the Celestial Empire and join in the celebration?" Zhou Zheng asked.
"I would like to ask one more question. The Emperor said before that four of the five of us were used! Then who is the one who used us?" Tie Fengling asked.
"Is the answer to this question difficult to guess?" Zhou Zheng asked with a smile.
Tie Fengling was speechless for a moment.
She knew all five of the top leaders of Fuzhou Xuhua.
There isn't much difference between the three of them.
Only Xiaoyaoyou he couldn't see through!
Moreover, regarding this overturned boat event, the original organizer was Xiaoyaoyou.
She just felt resentment towards Tianyuan Lunkui and the Four Sects because her father died in the Dao Realm civil war more than ten years ago!
It was this hatred that prompted her to take action in the first place!
It was only later, as the business slowly developed, that she gradually began to think about running it seriously.
Moreover, after Fuzhou Xuhua was successfully established, Xiaoyaoyou told her some information, and the rest was left to her to handle. Over the years, Xiaoyaoyou seemed like a complete outsider.
This is completely consistent with the description of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Then what is his purpose?" Tie Fengling couldn't figure it out!
If he really wanted to overthrow the Dao Realm and fight for power and gain for himself, he shouldn't have let it go like this.
"Perhaps only he himself knows what he is thinking!" Zhou Zheng did not say what was revealed by the plot development.
Tie Feng Ling just nodded.
"If the Emperor can treat everyone equally, I don't mind helping the Heavenly Dynasty!"
