Please help me understand the sentence
His speeches were aimed at the plebeian minds and emotions; they discussed the more refined.
What dose the"they" refer to?in fact，our teacher says that the "they" refers to plebeians,and the end of the sentence omits"speeches",but I don't quite understand it,and I think it may refers to "speeches"
can anyone tell me which one is better?

I think it depends on the context.If others discussed his speeches,"They" means the others,otherwise,"They" means "His speeches".

In the context of this sentence 'they' refers to speeches.
plebeian.....a common person who would not be expected to understand the more refined aspects of life.
His speeches discussed (dealt with) the more refined aspects of life..
He aimed this discussion of the more refined at the plebeian minds and emotions.
Why? In order to improve their understanding of life.
