Chapter 487: Chapter Four Hundred Eighty Three: Freedom

Children born to nobles, regardless of their legitimacy or birth order, are nobles, whereas children born to servants can only be lesser servants.

Should women have a slight chance of crossing social classes and becoming a matriarch, men, unless favored by the master who prefers men, are destined to be servants for all eternity.

Just thinking about the notion of being enslaved for generations by donning this cloth band makes it feel as heavy as a thousand pounds, impossible to place on one’s head.

Many who had already put on their bands could not help but feel a wave of sorrow at the sight of others’ hesitations, causing them to burst into tears.

Tang Luo glanced at the middle-aged scholar without contesting what he had said. Instead, he addressed the crowd, “What he said is not wrong. By tying this band, it indicates your voluntary abandonment of freedom, choosing to become my followers. In other words, from the moment you tie it, not only your life but the lives of your descendants belong to me. My words are your laws, and my preferences will determine your life and death. So think carefully before deciding whether to tie this band or not.”

What is human nature? Human nature is such; If you give a person a candy every day, the day you don’t, they think you’ve changed. But if you slap someone every day, the day you don’t, they think you’ve been kind to them.

Tang Luo himself wasn’t sure whether he could be a good Lord to millions of subordinates, with no such experience, who knows if he could be up to the task.

It’s better to lower their expectations rather than making the commoners look forward to a brighter future.

After all, being a tyrant at will is much easier than being a virtuous king constrained by kindness. The former only needs to do a few good deeds for others to say “he’s terrible, but he actually has a good heart.”
