Howson had never heard anything like it.

In human society, kneeling is a very solemn act.

Kneeling down expresses that one's status is lower than that of the other party, one surrenders to the other party, and one does not dare to carry out a series of offensive and hostile behaviors towards the other party. It is the most humble and sincere act.

Therefore, anyone who makes a sneak attack while kneeling to worship, no matter what reputation he had before, will only have the reputation of a despicable person from now on if he makes a sneak attack while kneeling to worship.

Moreover, he knelt down not because of other reasons, but because of Li Ke's broad-mindedness, because Li Ke was willing to give the common people a good life, and it was also because of this that he said Li Ke's taxes were too high.

He is targeting those possible factory owners in the future, because under Li Ke's governance, his profit for a silver coin may only be a few copper plates, and most of the profits are given to the producers of raw materials, and these

Raw material processors.

That is, workers, farmers, and craftsmen.

There is nothing wrong with these people paying taxes, and the 30% tax is reasonable. However, for factory owners, the 30% tax may be a bit difficult.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Hao Ersen, because he does not know the modern global economic system. In his eyes, no matter how many goods a factory sells, it is only about the size of a kingdom, with tens of thousands of people, no matter how many people it sells.

Including the purchase of raw materials and other things, the factory owner's net profit is probably really not much.

Although there are more workers than workers, it is impossible to reach the next class.

You can't blame him for this, because people can't imagine things they don't know.

What he knelt down to was Li Ke's willingness to let other people live a good life.

Therefore, he does not understand that people like Li Ke should be followed and loyal by other people. As long as Li Ke accepts his kneeling and allegiance, then Li Ke will let him die or bear the burden of

He would be willing to let endless stigmas roam the world.

Because he acted according to Li Ke's orders, he thought the world would become a better place.

"But why? Master Li Ke, this is just etiquette."

Howson didn't understand, so he asked directly.

Li Ke chuckled lightly.

"Because there is nothing to hide about what I want to do, Howson. Although there are some things that cannot be directly announced due to the people's education level, ideological realm, and understanding of the world. Kneeling represents surrender, but in

In this world, people are actually equal. What is unequal is their social status, their wealth, and the power of their bloodline in this world... But in terms of soul and will, people are all equal.

"

"For those kings and lords, they must show their own moral character, must use morals and rules to restrain their own people, and let them feel at ease to slaughter ordinary people for themselves, and even rob other people, because they cannot understand

, even without these despicable things, people can live happily. Therefore, whether it is the so-called glory of the knight, or the so-called kneeling to represent allegiance, it is unnecessary for me... Howson

, if I were a cruel guy, would you be willing to kneel down and be loyal to me?"

Hao Ersen's eyes brightened, and he probably understood what Li Ke meant.

"Are you saying that even if I am not loyal to you, as long as you keep walking on the right path and I am willing to walk on the right path, then it doesn't matter whether I am loyal to you or not?"

These words made Li Ke nodded. Although after meeting Howson, Li Ke felt that this tax collector was different, but Li Ke really didn't expect that this guy with an ordinary appearance could be so outstanding.

.

"Yes, Howson, you are better than I thought. You are right, as long as I walk on the right path, as long as I can always bring happiness to others, then the shadow of the old era will never catch up.

I... times have changed, Howlson."

Howson nodded, but he still didn't understand why Li Ke would say such things to him.

Li Ke saw his doubts, but Li Ke did not answer directly. Instead, he picked up the apple in his hand and started playing with it casually.

He doesn't like eating apples. Although the flesh of apples is sweet, it is very hard and not particularly sweet. But he likes apples very much, because as long as he looks at apples, he can feel the sweetness and beauty.

With its smooth red skin, Li Ke can feel comfortable.

This may be due to the influence of genes, or it may be because he knows that apples are good things, but Li Ke did not pay attention to this apple because the person in front of him was really interesting.

And the reason is also very simple.

"You must have a lot of doubts in your mind, so I will answer them for you slowly... I can see the future, Howson, are you willing to believe it?"

Hao Ersen, who was confused by what Li Ke said, nodded.

"I believe it, Master Li Ke."

He nodded, Li Ke was a person favored by the Holy Light, so he was willing to believe that Li Ke had powers that ordinary people did not possess.

"But in the future I see, you don't exist. Howson, you are not a hero, a hero, or a bad guy. You are irrelevant and will never exist. But now, you appear in front of me.

, you have never shown your character and abilities, and you have not had a single word in the history books of later generations. However, now, you stand in front of me and show me your character and your abilities, and for me,

Be it Alsace, Jaina, or Calia, who occupy an important position in the history and future of this world, they are not as important as you."

When Howson heard this, he was stunned. He didn't quite understand. Whether it was Arthas, Jaina, or Her Highness Calia, these big shots were obviously much more important than him. Their words

Words can determine the direction of this world, what virtues and abilities do you have...

But after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that he might have died a long time ago.

However, he felt that it was more likely that he had no talent.

"Your appearance means one thing. The world I see is the real world, and, indeed, as I thought, anyone in this world can become a hero. Howson, please, be me

heroes, and make others heroes too.”

Li Ke looked at the astonished Howlson and realized that he had just accidentally gotten excited and said something he shouldn't have said.

but--

It doesn't matter.

He is a free man who can do whatever he wants.

"I, do I really have such a great talent? Mr. Li Ke, I am just a small tax collector, I, and I am not very good-looking..."

Howson covered his chest. He was excited to be valued by Li Ke, but he was even more confused.

He is not handsome, and his fighting skills are average. When dealing with things, he often needs to ask for the opinions of professionals, and he will think for a long time before making a decision.

He is just a member of the common people. How can a person like him become a hero?

"A hero does not have to be handsome, Howson. That is just an illusion caused by ordinary people's yearning for heroes. Ugly people can be heroes, and people without talents can also be heroes. As long as you are willing,

You can be a hero... For you, my friend, you can maintain such a heart and walk in this world until now, without relying on any supernatural power, just relying on your own abilities and efforts.

If you have survived until now, you are a hero."

Li Ke means what he said. In this file, as a medieval tax collector, Howson completed the tax task without forcing anyone to death, and he did not allow himself to collect taxes.

Even though people have starved to death, there is some gray income, but it is actually 'reasonable'.

He adopted the children of his dead colleagues, occasionally helped some old people, or sent messages to others, and chased away bandits and bandits. If he couldn't finish the wild beasts he hunted, he would share them with those who were living in hardship around him, and help his friends.

Invite your friends and family to hang out.

If such a person was not a hero in the Middle Ages, what else could he be?

If such a person is not a benchmark, what else can he be?

He is not without shortcomings, but in Li Ke's view, these shortcomings are just gems and embellishments given by life, and the person in front of him is indeed a jade in the rough.

He may not have great achievements, or even have great talents, but he is the mainstay of a country and an organization. He is such a person.

Just looking at Hao Sen's confused face, Li Ke still shook his head.

What he said was too advanced, so he just took out an identity card and threw it to Howson.

"Okay, you may not understand what I say, but take these things, find some people you can trust, and tell me what position you recommend them to go to, and then come to work the day after tomorrow. But now, Howson."

Li Ke looked at Haolsen with a smile, and threw a hat and a bag of gold coins from his collection to Haolsen, asking him to keep them as souvenirs. Throwing them over together was another one he designed and made when he was bored.

A tiara, and a bag of toffee.

"Go be a hero to your wife and your children."

A father who brings status and jewelry to his wife and candy to his children is a hero.

"Yes, Master Li Ke!"

Howson left excitedly. He held the things in his hands and couldn't help but want to cry, but he was too excited to cry.

And when he excitedly returned to his home with his companions and saw his wife and children, he finally couldn't hold it back and hugged his wife.

Although his wife didn't know why, she couldn't help crying when she saw her husband's excited expression.

At this moment, Li Ke didn't know all this, because he had already known that these would happen, and there were guests coming to his office again.

Moreover, it is difficult for Li Ke to say whether this guest is an uninvited guest or not.

"You seem to think highly of this person."

A raven suddenly spoke at Li Ke's window. Li Ke rubbed his temples. After Howson left, he interviewed a few more people. Although he was not as satisfied as Howson, they were still pretty good.

People.

But to be honest, when he saw this raven talking, he couldn't help but have a headache.

Because everyone who came, like him, had read the script.
