The old man's teleportation is quite powerful. Chen Taizhong smoked silently. What on earth do you want to say?
Jing Ziling understood what her grandfather said. She reached out to take the cigarette from Chen Taizhong's hand and glared at him, "Take a few puffs less... Scholar-officials are the center of the ruling power, right?"
Among Chen Taizhong's women, she was the only one who dared to do this.
"Yes, it's not a doctor's punishment. It seems to encourage people to tell the truth and criticize current affairs. It can't be said that it has no effect at all," Mr. Jing replied lazily, "But if they control public opinion, what consequences will it have?"
?”
"Self-supervision, self-improvement," Jing Junwei just wants to go against his grandfather.
"The backbone of the ruling power of New China are party members, and there is no such thing as party members being punished," Jing Junwei glanced at his grandson, "What is society like now...how many years has it been?"
"The solidification and closure of classes will form monopoly power and block the upward path," Chen Taizhong nodded.
"You still don't understand what I'm talking about," Jing Yiyuan shook his head and looked at his precious granddaughter, "Zi Ling?"
"Actually, I just want to be a businessman, so you asked me such a profound question," the talented beautiful girl curled her lips and murmured softly, "You have already said that once a new class of scholar-officials is formed... first seek a gold medal to avoid death, and then
Nonsense is used to control public opinion, and in the end, interests are maximized."
"That's it," Jing Yiyuan nodded. "There are always people who care about this. Restoring the freedom of speech of scholar-bureaucrats and not using their words to offend others is actually a traditional Confucian concept. But... who will ensure that morality does not slip?"
"China has never been a nation-state. The intermediary force that maintains it is the scholar-bureaucrat class. Those who invade China will be conquered by China; those who invade China will be conquered! The ruling backbone of this country has never changed. This is also the five-year rule.
One of the reasons why it has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years is that they have made a contribution in ensuring the continuity of Chinese civilization."
"But at the same time, they are also a stumbling block to the development of civilization. It's not that they don't have the world in mind and worry about the country and the people. In fact... over time, the community of interests formed by their descendants will hinder the development of society, and China is a very
A country that values family and the continuation of clan.”
"In every dynasty, there are frequent masters. It is always in the early stages. It is not that there is no genius behind it, but that there is no room for genius to develop. This is true of porcelain, and the same is true of the backbone of the country... It is precisely because of this that our Chinese
The development of civilization is always repeated, one dynasty after another."
"No wonder there were so many strong-minded national warriors during the May Fourth Movement," Chen Taizhong nodded with deep approval.
"The national calamity showed loyalty, the May Fourth Movement... it was really an unprecedented era of great changes, and the impact on Chinese civilization was so great that even Lu Xun abandoned Chinese characters and advocated pinyin," Jing Yiyuan nodded deeply.
Then, he laughed disdainfully, "But just like that, there are also speculators. Literati are literati with their integrity, and literati are also literati if they are incompetent. There are some who have the world in mind, and there are also many who seek fame and fortune... Before the May Fourth Parade,
The student who died had a heart disease and was not beaten to death. This news was artificially covered up. It was his death that intensified the conflict."
"In short, many historical truths have been lost in the long river of time. I personally think that necessary supervision of speech must be in place, but this thing cannot form a class... If it forms a class, it will be over."
"Compared with gongchǎndǎng members, I think the scholar-bureaucrat class is more reliable." Jing Junwei made up his mind and must go against his grandfather. "Today's provincial and ministerial levels are all born. In the past, there were still poor people.
The dream of winning the top prize."
"The phenomenon you mentioned is also very rare," Jing Yiyuan replied calmly, "He may be a poor man, but if you take into account his teachers, his cultural atmosphere, the circle and the township party he is in, you will find that
There are really not many such people, especially in the late dynasty."
"But there are always," Chen Taizhong thought of what he said about the Chinese Dream, and he echoed his elder brother, "Evaluation is based on meritocracy...the imperial examination system is actually pretty good."
"I'm not saying it's bad. It's just like the current college entrance examination." Jing Yiyuan's spirit today is surprisingly good, a bit like quarreling with Confucian scholars. "No matter how arrogant the scholar-bureaucrats are in private, they have to talk about virtue."
, and our country right now... is immoral."
"Yes, Li Dazhao was shot in the name of Russia," Jing Junwei nodded with deep understanding.
"I've said it before, China has never been a nation-state," Jing Yiyuan looked at his grandson helplessly.
"We have our own core civilization and our own cultural inheritance... Nation-state is a term proposed in the Western colonial era. The European Civil War lasted for thousands of years, and the King of England was the Duke of Normandy in France. Who said nation at that time? It felt like the internal affairs of a company.
Fighting is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, except that Europe has never been unified."
"Then the Japanese coming in is actually a good thing?" Jing Junwei asked unconvinced.
"You are trying to make excuses," Jing Yiyuan glanced at his grandson helplessly, "It is necessary to defend the country. Regardless of whether it is a nation-state or not, protecting one's own property is correct."
"I just can't feel any difference," Jing Junwei continued to be tough.
"You said I'm a little confused." Chen Taizhong was really a little confused. He could tell that Mr. Jing looked at the problem from the perspective of cultural inheritance and historical development. The term "big brother" combined the concept of nation-state.
It can be said that it is advancing with the times, and Chinese civilization is always absorbing advanced things.
"Actually, it's very simple. The Chinese nation has always had its backbone, just as Mr. Lu Xun said," Jing Ziling rarely spoke up, "but some people use the name of public opinion supervision to seek fame and fortune through sensationalism, then we must
Beat them to death with a stick...We can't give them the same treatment as a doctor."
"It's easy for you to talk when your upper lip touches your lower lip." Chen Taizhong glanced at her and sighed, "How can we tell if someone is seeking fame and fortune by grandstanding? Beat him to death with a stick... Is there anyone who is arbitrary?
Suspect, who authorized me to do this?"
"But you... have always been very arbitrary," Jing Ziling looked at him sideways, her big watery eyes blinking.
"Some people scold me, but as long as I have a clear conscience," Chen Taizhong took out another cigarette and lit it.
"It is difficult for upright officials to handle household affairs. Everyone has their own opinions," Jing Yiyuan said with a smile, "The advantages and disadvantages of the scholar-bureaucrat class are very obvious. If you, Taizhong, can come up with effective supervision methods, it will be a great achievement.
"
"Who will supervise those who supervise them?" Chen Taizhong smiled and spread his hands, "I can't take the credit for this, but I understand that the system is not omnipotent, and we still need to focus on the construction of spiritual civilization... A country that has lost its sense of shame is
It’s terrible, and it won’t last long.”
"Actually, some things are inherently unsolvable," Jing Yiyuan muttered softly.
"It's getting late, I should go," Chen Taizhong stood up. He seemed to have gained a lot from tonight's conversation, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have gained nothing. "Anyway, there must be necessary supervision.
Don’t give up eating because of choking.”
"You did a good job on the bulletin board in Beichong. What's especially rare is that it didn't follow any formalities." Jing Yiyuan stood up with a smile, "As expected of my grandson-in-law, I'll give it to you."
"But your great-grandson is probably a member of a vested interest group," Chen Taizhong replied with a smile. After all, there is really no one who can spoil the fun better than him.
"The future generations are smarter than us, maybe they will find a way," Jing Yiyuan said with a smile, "You are smarter than me. If I were the mayor of Beichong District, I would not do better than you... Ziling,
Can I see your children?"
"Maybe they are Chinese-Americans, not Chinese," Jing Junwei muttered. He just wanted to displease the old man today.
Big brother, you are actually more capable of causing hatred than me. Chen Taizhong gave him a speechless look...
That night, the Lakeside community was having a good time, but considering Xiao Ziling's reputation, Chen Taizhong left the community early the next morning, even though he was extremely reluctant to leave Tian Tian's narrow corridor.
At about eight o'clock, he came to Professor Jing's house. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ziling had other entertainment when he came back this time, and he really didn't want to be introduced as "Mr. Jing's boyfriend", so he chatted with Mr. Jing.
.
However, it was a pity that tomorrow was Mr. Jing’s birthday. There were so many people here today that he couldn’t say a few words. Out of boredom, he simply stood up and went out, driving his Audi car for a stroll on the street.
.
Subo was still the same Subo, but in his heart, the young man always felt that he was a little out of tune with this hustle and bustle. He drove absentmindedly and unknowingly, he came to the door of the old provincial party committee.
"This is asking for trouble," he shook his head before leaving, when he suddenly saw an acquaintance, Li Dalong from the Inspection Office, hurriedly walking out of the gate holding an umbrella.
"Dalong," he lowered the window and greeted him. Seeing that he didn't respond, he honked the horn again.
Li Dalong looked back, his mouth suddenly grew bigger, and then he ran over in three steps and said hello with a smile on his face, "Old director, when will you come back?"
"I came back to wish Mr. Jing Yiyuan on his birthday," Chen Taizhong replied with a smile, and then opened the passenger door. "I was wandering around the street when I saw you... Where are you going? I'll take you with me.
cut?"
"I'm fine. Come and get some documents." Li Dalong opened the door and got in the car. After thinking about it, he said, "If the old director is fine, can we sit down with you at noon?"
"I may not be free at noon," Chen Taizhong replied casually, and then asked, "Is the Inspection Office busy recently?"
"I have been transferred back to the Discipline Inspection Commission now," Li Dalong scratched his head, looking a little guilty, "but the Inspection Office is developing well, and Secretary Xu is very supportive of Minister Qin's work." (To be continued...)
