Chapter 81 We are all equal now
A young girl came in. It was a very cold day and there was sweat on her forehead, as if she had run.
As soon as she came in, she put a package on the table.
"Comrade police officer, this is for you."
"What is this?" A policeman opened the black bag and exclaimed when he saw what was inside.
The others leaned over to look and were also stunned.
"Where did you get so much money, little girl? What are you going to do with it?"
The young girl took the glass of water, gulped down two gulps and then said, "I picked up this money on the road. I was wondering why people still carry so much cash these days. But I saw red envelopes mixed in it, so I thought it must be the red envelope money from someone's wedding. I planned to deposit it in the bank, but it fell on the way. I picked it up two streets ahead. I have other things to do and don't have time to wait for the owner to come and look for it, so I sent it to you first. The owner will definitely report the loss of tens of thousands of dollars, so I won't care."
"So that's how it is. Okay, then leave the money with us first. Little girl, please leave your contact information first, and we will contact you if we need it later."
"good."
The young girl left her contact information, explained the specific location where the money was lost, the time she found it, and other precautions, and then she left in a hurry.
Chao Chao looked at it with her mouth slightly open. So much money, and just left here like this?
Emperor Jingxuan was also slightly stunned. They were now able to convert the money of later generations.
Tens of thousands of yuan is equivalent to dozens of taels of silver here.
Although this amount of silver was not worth mentioning to Emperor Jingxuan, he also knew that for ordinary people, a few dozen taels might be all the savings of a family.
Yu Kangsheng murmured in a low voice, "People in later generations have too much trust in officials."
The family members know their own business, and they know exactly what kind of officials in the yamen are like.
If such a thing happened to Daqi, and someone handed the found silver to them, the dozens of taels of silver would definitely be divided equally by the officials, and there would be no way they would wait for the owner.
But looking at later generations, this seems to be a common thing.
The civil and military officials present watched this scene in silence, and from time to time looked at the beggar on the other side who had finished his fried rice and was leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed to rest. They felt mixed emotions and all kinds of thoughts in their hearts.
He Nanzhou had finished talking to the police and came out with his wife and daughter.
After leaving the door, Chaochao still looked back from time to time, and there was no more uneasiness in his expression.
Jian Yunsang asked with a smile, "What do Chao Chao think of the police?"
"Very good." Chao Chao was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "It's completely different from what I thought. I thought it would be very fierce."
He Nanzhou and Jian Yunsang looked at each other and asked Chao Chao in a low voice, "Have you seen the officials over there before?"
“Yes.”
He Nanzhou was surprised. She had actually seen him?
Chaochao said, "I saw them from afar. They came to the village to talk about taxation, but I didn't get close and couldn't hear them clearly. I just knew it was very, very..." She couldn't describe it.
But she knew that the villagers were so afraid of him that they didn't even dare to speak loudly.
The village chief did say something, but the officer scolded him without saying a word, looking very scary.
Later, the official left and the villagers just talked about it in low voices.
"Anyway, when the officials came, the Hu family would arrest Hu Baodun, fearing that he would offend them without knowing the severity of the situation. Not only the Hu family, but many people in the village told the children not to run around, to stay far away, and not to get close to the officials."
At that time, Chaochao knew that ordinary people could not afford to offend the government officials, let alone her, an orphan without a father or a mother, and no one would help her if something happened.
So she didn't understand why the police here were completely different. It was okay for the elderly and children to get close to them. They were very gentle and patient and there was no need to be afraid of them at all.
In fact, this was the purpose why He Nanzhou and Jian Yunsang brought her out.
So at this moment, He Nanzhou held her and turned around, pointing to a banner beside him and said, "Did you see that line of words?"
Chao Chao nodded, "But I can't read."
He Nanzhou laughed, "That line reads - Serve the People. We are the people, and their purpose is to protect the lives and property of ordinary people like us."
Chao Chao opened his mouth slightly with a confused expression.
He Nanzhou carried her into the car, and after they were seated firmly, he explained to Chao Chao, "Today's police are different from the yamen runners in ancient times. The yamen runners in ancient times were of low status, and even their descendants could not take the imperial examinations, and their salaries were not high. But they still had a little power in their hands, so if they wanted to live a good life, they could only get some benefits from other places. For example, ordinary people like us, they would naturally be afraid of them when they see them."
Da Qichao said to everyone: “…” Enough, is your family an ordinary people?
He Nanzhou started the car. "But modern police are different. We are now in a society where everyone is equal. There is no distinction between low-class people, good people and business people. Everyone is the same. And the police are a very sacred profession. Chao Chao just saw that we ordinary people trust them very much, right? If you lose something, get beaten up outside, meet bad guys, or can't find your way home, you can go to the police."
Everyone is equal!!
These four words were deafening, like a bolt of thunder that struck the hearts of millions of people in the Great Qi Dynasty, leaving them stunned.
What nonsense is he talking about? ! ! How can everyone be equal? And he even says that there is no such thing as a slave?
Those noble family children who had been listening with great interest and had nothing to do with the matter suddenly stood up and said angrily, "What do you mean we are all the same? How can those untouchables be compared with us? What about the emperors and nobles of later generations? How can they allow untouchables to be on an equal footing with them? It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous."
"That's right. People are born into different classes. If everyone were equal, wouldn't the world be in chaos? No one would obey discipline."
"What He Nanzhou said sounds good. If it were equal, why would the He family have servants?"
"Hasn't he got his own followers? Let him be equal to them and see if he is happy about it."
While these people were indignant, the faces of the people around them flashed with hope for a moment. But soon, they became numb again. Even if there was no distinction between noble and good families, that was in the future, not now, and had nothing to do with them.
But these words were very relevant to Emperor Jingxuan, and his forehead began to throb.
Sometimes he really felt helpless and wanted to close the sky.
There was no warning in these words, but he became more frightened as he listened to them.
