"In order not to waste everyone's time, let me make a long story short. There are two main points in today's meeting. The first is to urge everyone to abide by Xia Guo's rules."
Shen Fei pointed to the thick stack of materials in front of everyone.
"These are laws and regulations that everyone must keep in mind. Generally speaking, everyone in the Xia Kingdom is equal. Even if they are weak, they cannot be bullied or even slaughtered by the strong!"
Seeing that although many families were silent, the expressions on their faces showed a bit of disdain.
Shen Fei squinted his eyes, and continued to add in a cold tone: "I understand that you have always followed the rule that the strong come first. In the world of martial arts, strength is everything. But that won't work in Xia Country!"
"If you want to be born, you must abide by the rules. My ugly words are up front. Whoever dares to violate them will be severely punished by Xia Guo. This is not negotiable!"
After finishing speaking, Shen Fei glanced at everyone calmly, and asked lightly: "About the first point, anyone who has an opinion can raise it."
Not long after, a young man raised his hand first.
"I disagree!"
"Tell me."
Shen Fei didn't get angry immediately, but just smiled and nodded at him.
"The path of martial artist cultivation is full of hardships and dangers, and it is even more difficult to become a strong one. On the contrary, ordinary people live a comfortable life and don't pay anything at all. Why should they enjoy the same rights as us?"
"Yes, at least give the strong some privileges, otherwise it would be too unfair."
Immediately someone echoed.
"I think so too. The rights are equal, so what about the obligations? Waiting for foreign enemies to invade, don't we have to fight to the death in the front? Ordinary people hide in the comfortable rear instead. What's fair?"
"Indeed, if we do this, everyone will lose their enthusiasm. If the Federation really comes in, I guess no one will be willing to make a move."
Many families are chattering and discussing, trying to fight for their rights.
After they all finished their comments, Shen Fei nodded with a smile.
"What you said just now makes sense. Now let me explain in detail the true meaning of 'equality'."
"About not being able to kill indiscriminately It means that you can't kill people unreasonably because of outrageous reasons such as petty quarrels, friction, or even dislike."
"If ordinary people attack you with hot weapons, you can naturally fight back! I will enforce the law impartially and will never deliberately favor them just because they are ordinary people."
"As for privileges, there are definitely some."
Shen Fei smiled meaningfully.
"But everyone must make corresponding contributions. When the time comes, there will be rewards for meritorious deeds. Of course there will be some."
Everyone was thinking in silence, when suddenly someone in the front took the lead in applauding.
It is Xuanyuan Hanlin.
"That's a good point. People have only one life. It is true that no distinction should be made between the noble and the humble. On behalf of the Xuanyuan family, I express my opinion that the clan will strictly abide by the laws and regulations of the Xia Kingdom, and will never condone any violation of laws and regulations!"
Shen Fei looked sideways, just in time to see Xuanyuan Hanlin looking at him.
The two looked at each other and smiled, showing a sense of sympathy.
Although this is only the second meeting between the two parties, Shen Fei has left a good impression on Xuanyuan Hanlin and even the entire Xuanyuan clan.
Although it is the oldest and most powerful family, the Xuanyuan family can strictly discipline themselves, which is really rare.
Moreover, Elder Yang also said that the Xuanyuan family made great contributions in the early days of the Xia Kingdom, and Shen Fei naturally kept this kindness in his heart. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
