Ning Yi smiled and shook his arm: "... After the Japanese are defeated, don't forget that there are still such and such bad guys in the West. Their development of physical studies has reached a very powerful level, while China... three thousand years of Confucianism remains
, a hundred years of weakness has resulted in a long way behind them in the study of physical studies. As mentioned before, if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and they will still hang out in front of your house every day, threatening you.
, I want you to transfer this kind of benefit and that kind of benefit."
"But on our side, we already had a strong will that transcended all, and a spiritual power that could twist the whole of China into a rope. At that time, even if you were still hungry, you had the last steamed bun in your hand.
You will want to feed it to your comrades. Imagine that such an army appeared at that time. And the Western science of physics was a hundred years more advanced than ours now. Aircraft made of steel fly in the sky, and weapons made of steel fly.
The car was running on the ground, and one bomb they fired could blow up the entire street..."
"China...the war with the strongest country in the West broke out..."
Ning Yi looked at the night, paused slightly, Xigua frowned and said: "Failed?"
"No, that was... in that period of human history, the last time that human beings used spiritual power to fill in the gap of material disparity. They beat back the West. By that time, China, which had been beaten for 120 years,
For the first time, it has been valued by many Western countries and won space for stable development."
They walked forward, waving their hands, Xigua smiled and said: "What's next, will you rule the world for eternity?"
"Next..." Ning Yi also laughed, "Next, they continue to move forward. They have experienced too much humiliation and been beaten for more than a hundred years, until here, they finally found a way,
They saw that when everyone is educated and reformed, and everyone becomes noble and cares about others, such great deeds can be achieved. Agua, what would you do if it were you?
?”
Xigua looked at him.
"They will continue to go deeper. They use their spiritual will to level the material foundation, and then... they want to complete the spiritual transformation of the entire society when the material is not enough, directly overcome the material barriers, and enter the final Datong society."
"Spiritual transformation...how to change..."
"Through classroom education, and practical education."
"..." Xigua couldn't think clearly about this for a while, but Ning Yi looked ahead and then spoke.
"...They finally came to the conclusion that it is difficult for human beings to cross the spiritual gap when the material foundation is not satisfied. If they want to achieve great harmony where everyone is equal and everyone's spirit is extremely noble, they first
We still have to go back and create a material foundation, an educational foundation, a cultural foundation..."
After Ning Yi said this, he finally fell silent. Xigua thought for a moment: "What does noble spirit have to do with material things?"
"It's like if I have a full stomach, I will choose to do something good and want to be a good person. If I can't eat enough, I probably don't have the intention to be a good person."
"Isn't that just a poor man trying to get rich to gain a conscience? Are such good people really good people?"
"What is a truly good person, Agua? Where can there be a truly good person? People are just people. They have their own desires and weaknesses. It is desires that create needs, and it is needs that drive the creation of today's world. But everyone is
Living in this world, some desires will hurt others. We say this is wrong. Some desires are beneficial to most people. We call them ideals. If you are lazy and want to be an official, this is called desire. You study hard and work hard.
Work hard and want to be an official, this is your ideal."
Ning Yi smiled: "Although material cannot really make people become good people, material can solve part of the problem, and if it can solve part of it, of course it will be better. Education can also solve part of the problem, so education must also come up, and then,
They threw away more than 3,000 years of culture, and they have to build their own culture, each thing, to solve part of the problem. When everything is done, one day in the future, maybe they will be able to have the qualifications and then go to the ultimate
Goal, challenge..."
"...Their previous challenge." Xigua hesitated, "How did they come to this conclusion? What happened to their challenge?"
"Agua, the story is just a story." Ning Yi touched her head, "The real question is, in the stages I saw, what is the core law that really dominates every change. From the Westernization Movement
, to the reform and reform, the old warlords, the new warlords, to the elite government and then to the people's government, what is the core in the middle." He paused, "The core in the middle is called social consensus, or group subconscious.
"
"This kind of social consensus is not a superficial consensus, but when all people in this society are added together, there may be more scholars, more officials, and farmers suffer less. Add their views on the world.
Get up and figure out an average, and that will determine what a society looks like."
"Of course, at the beginning, the proportion of ordinary people who did not study was very small. The further we go, their importance cannot be ignored. We are talking about the three hundred years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. When they suddenly suffered a beating, everyone would start to think, what happened?
What to do? The Westernization Movement was proposed at this time. When everyone thought about it, it made sense, and this change was accepted by the public."
"Continuing to be beaten means that the changes are not enough. If we add up everyone's ideas and accept that this is not enough, then there will be reforms. At this time, if you say that we don't want the emperor... we will not be able to form a social consensus."
"Only when they continue to be beaten, they do not want the emperor, and it becomes a social consensus. Then the old warlords become a consensus, and the warlords need to learn foreign concepts and technologies, and slowly it also becomes a consensus. Our cultural system is obviously incompatible with the study of things, and we are beaten
After such a long time, it became a consensus to gradually abolish this cultural system. After the establishment of the elite government, only the best people in the world became officials. The social consensus at that time felt that this was enough, so they did not
It has become a consensus to stop fishing."
"When the elite government can no longer handle the task and the people cannot make a living, everyone reaches a consensus that they must be more outstanding, more honest, and more self-disciplined... Such a social consensus will profoundly affect a group of people.
Only when they agree with these ideas deep in their hearts can they do such things, and only then can they give a steamed bun to others when they are hungry. This is a society that has been finally created after a hundred years of humiliation.
Consensus is something that everyone feels from the bottom of their hearts should be."
"One hundred and twenty years ago, the enemy was finally defeated and there were no foreign enemies. This consensus continues according to inertia, but at this time, everyone still doesn't have much to eat. You are hungry and there is a steamed bun in front of you. You are
Should you give it to your companions, or take it back to your children at home?"
"When such a problem falls on tens of millions of people, you will find that in the most difficult times, everyone will feel that such 'nobility' is necessary. When the situation becomes better, some people will feel
It’s not necessary. What if we still want to maintain such nobility? Maybe we can make up for it through better materials, better education, and better culture.”
"Agua, you don't need to worry about the farmers outside today. Just go see the scholars, the officials around you, and my students. Think about it, what is the social consensus today? Everyone is equal? In this society, most people
Some people have not even formed a consensus on the idea of "letting farmers become literate." I have already taken several steps forward even to the consensus that we don't want the emperor, let alone... the consensus of Lao Niutou.
?”
"Without that kind of consensus, Chen Shanjun would not be able to truly create such an official. Just like the construction of courts in the Chinese military, we stipulate good provisions and take serious steps to make everyone work under such provisions. There will be problems in society.
The problem is, no matter you are rich or poor, the provisions and steps you face are the same, so that you can be as equal as possible, but where is the social consensus? The poor cannot understand such impersonal provisions. What they yearn for is
The judgment of the Grand Master Qingtian, so even if he is repeatedly ordered to open classes for education, and go to the patrol law enforcement team outside, he often still has the urge to be the Grand Master Qingtian, disregarding the provisions, and either dealing with it strictly or being lenient.
"
"There's nothing wrong with the sentence." Xigua muttered.
"It's not that bad. You have to slowly explore and get used to it." Ning Yi smiled, and then drew a circle towards the entire night sky, "In this world, there are so many people who seem to have no connection. The world is not related to them.
It has nothing to do with it, but the appearance of the entire world is still connected to them after all. The appearance of the social and political system can be one step ahead or one step behind, but it is difficult to make a huge leap."
"Just like being an official, everyone verbally hates corrupt officials, but if your uncle becomes an official, do you think he should be extremely honest? Or do you think he should help his family to some extent? In the minds of the public
Your thoughts will determine what this world looks like. Suppose that today everyone has taken a big step forward in equality. You are a common citizen, and something happens. Your first reaction is to find a connection to help, or to directly ask the judicial authorities to press the case.
Stripes work. What society looks like is fluctuating up and down within the average of these thoughts."
"I can hold hundreds of meetings a year in the Chinese government and tell them desperately that they must be clean, but these meetings cannot truly defeat and reverse the consensus in people's hearts. The subconscious consensus of the entire society is determined by culture.
"
They turned around the long street in front of them, and then turned towards a secluded square. Next to it was a small river. Flower boats passed by on the river, reflecting the sparkling waves. The two walked quietly for a while, and Xigua said: "No wonder you let
Bamboo Notes...write those things..."
"The only thing that can penetrate deep into the subconscious is culture." Ning Yi smiled complicatedly and tiredly, "If you want everyone to be equal, you have to fill people's lives with stories about equality. We want to tell others about the evils in our family and the world.
We need to let them discuss the emperor's stupidity and incompetence. Of course, it is not that simple as a whole, but here is the big head... We can drag this society forward, and every step forward, we must lay a good foundation in everyone's heart, and we can finish it in one step.
, it is possible to take the next step, otherwise if you take one more step, they will pull you back."
"Chen Shanjun's Lao Niutou can bring a lot of experience about equality... For example, when he divided the fields roughly at the beginning, it was because our soldiers were holding the battle for him. What if there was no such behemoth as the Chinese Army as a premise? Is it necessary?
How to use a longer time to create better public opinion? In the first two years of running Lao Niu, he initially talked about equality with people. When he encountered problems of this kind, he would continue to add his own theories and opinions, regardless of whether he could leave or not.
If he can get through it, these things about him will become the cornerstone for moving forward in the future..."
"But if you let me come, Agua, you think highly of me, and I can't go, because I'm afraid of everyone's subconscious mind. Once you go too fast, they will hold you back, even if they don't even think about it themselves.
If they find out, they will kill you..."
"What have you been thinking about all day long?"
Xigua reached out to caress his brow, and Ning Yi smiled and said: "So, it's not that I haven't seen it before."
"In your story, it will take hundreds of years to realize the Great Harmony, right?"
"I'm afraid it's going to..."
"Will they do the next challenge? What will that look like?"
"I can't see clearly what's behind..."
"I can't even make up a complete story..."
"So I really saw it, and it's not just my own nonsense. If you don't believe it, forget it..."
"You said it so convincingly, of course I believe it."
Ning Yi looked at her, Xigua blinked with big watery eyes.
"Forget it, by the way, you said before that the Westernization Movement was disgusting. What's going on?"
"It's just disgusting!"
The two of them were talking and laughing, and walked forward. When they reached an intersection ahead, the lights turned on again, and there were pedestrians on the road. Xigua suddenly saw someone, and pulled Ning Yi forward quietly. Then the couple hid in a
He was at the back of an alley, sticking his head out to peek ahead.
"Who is it?" Ning Yi frowned as he put his hands on his wife's shoulders.
"There is a bad guy in the city. Look, that old man, named Guan Shanhai, has brought a woman with him... a big devil... who often speaks ill of us on the newsprint these days."
Ning Yi curled his lips: "That's enough for you. You don't want to lose face. There are thousands of bad guys in Chengdu right now. I opened the door and let them in. Which one did I take lightly? You pulled me to spy on him like this."
, if he finds out, he will have to brag for the rest of his life. If he walks away, I will be embarrassed if I even look at him."
"No." Xigua waved his hand and hit him, "This afternoon, Ning Ji asked Hou Yuanyong to investigate this old guy. Someone mentioned it. I don't know why. Didn't this just happen to happen that... the old guy offended my son..."
"Huh?" Ning Yi frowned, lying behind Xigua and taking a few more glances, "Okay, what can't be offended? It's just the old man's body. If he really offended him, the second brother would have taken him to pieces.
No...no, do you think the second child would do this?"
"I don't know." Xigua said, "Xiao Ji is quite good."
"Oh, forget it. An old man is visiting a prostitute. If there's anything interesting to see, go back and find someone to investigate. He's gone."
"You can't check. I trained Xiao Ji. He is very powerful. He secretly found Xiao Hou. If you make a big fuss, he will know that he is exposed. Not to mention that we are monitoring him all day long."
"What you say makes sense. He already knows that he is looking for someone secretly. He wants to avoid our surveillance. He obviously has something up his sleeve... Do we really need to send someone to follow him?" As he said this, he couldn't help but look over there.
He glanced twice, then felt that he had lost his identity and said, "You won't see anything if I leave."
"I came over in the middle of the night and killed him. I could tell at a glance that it was not a good thing."
"You can't... leave like this."
"Don't pull me, I..."
Tear--
Over there under the moonlight, Guan Shanhai took the woman into the large house. The couple here stood in a remote alley, looking at each other angrily.
"How could you be like this? Why would you be so proud if others saw you tearing off your own woman's clothes outside?"
"Let's go, let's go, your god-like husband has already spoken, and you turned a deaf ear... He is an old guy. When I turn around, I will have someone arrest him and give him pepper water..."
Xigua stretched out his hands to hit him, and Ning Yi also raised his hands to fight back. The two of them formed windmills with their hands and beat each other in the dark alleyway, heading home.
The night was full of sparks. Xigua's depression due to Lao Niutou was slightly relieved after being "interrupted" by Ning Yi. After returning, the couple read some things each. Someone sent the secret report to Xigua, but
It was Qian Luoning who also called the police about Lao Niutou's situation.
After stumbling all the way to this point, no one knows whether Lao Niutou can persist. But for Ning Yi, everything in Chengdu must be important now, just as he said on the street, thousands of people
Tens of thousands of enemies are pouring into the city. The Chinese army seems to be responding mechanically at the moment, but countless tasks are going on inside.
Xigua recalled all the things her husband had said before - even though it sounded like fantasy, she knew that Ning Yi's words were not without purpose - she grabbed a pen and paper and hesitated for a moment before starting to write on the paper.
Write down the four words "oo movement".
She really didn't want to write those two words at the beginning. Ning Yi was so bad, he was messing around with such a serious matter.
After the "OO Movement" came the "reform and reform", "old warlords", "new warlords"...and so on. I relied on my memories to finish writing this, and thought about "that world" that Ning Yi said over and over again.
Is this the step he sees? Is this road really so long and difficult? Is it because he never dares to consider success easily, so he allows the old Niutou to split? That is why he treats all explorations as experiments
?
After more than a hundred years of humiliation and exploration, constantly looking for ways, constantly failing, and constantly summing up experience and revising the path, absolute correctness has never really appeared at any moment. If you are in such a world
, what will it feel like? Effort or despair?
She could still remember her excitement when she heard Ning Yi's remarks about equality on the streets of Hangzhou. When Ning Yi rebelled against the king, she thought that that day was not far away. After more than ten years, she only
I feel more and more clearly that my husband defines the success of this career in terms of hundreds or thousands of years.
