"… what's next?"
"Next, the Dongying people were defeated..."
"Uh… "
Ning Yi smiled and shook his arm: "... After the Eastern Ying people were defeated, don't forget that there are still bad guys in the West. The development of their physical sciences has reached a very powerful height, while China... 3000 years of Confucian remnants, one after another. Hundreds of years of accumulated weakness have led to a big gap between them in terms of physics. As I said before, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. People still hang around your door every day, threatening you and asking You sell this kind of benefit, that kind of benefit."
"But on our side, at that time, we already had a strong will that surpassed everything, and the spiritual strength 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 think about giving it to your comrades in arms. Imagine that such an army appeared at that time. Western physics is a hundred years more advanced than we are now. The planes made of steel fly in the sky, and the battles made of steel fly in the sky. The car was running on the ground, and the bomb they shot could blow up the whole street…”
"Huaxia... The battle with the most powerful country in the west broke out..."
Ning Yi looked at the night, paused slightly, and then said with a frown, "Failed?"
"No, that's... In that period of human history, the last time human beings used their spiritual power to forcibly bridge the gap between the material and For the first time, it has been valued by many Western countries and won the space for stable development.”
They walked all the way, waved their hands, and the watermelon smiled and said, "The next step is to rule the world and live forever?"
"Next time..." Ning Yi also laughed, "Next time, 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 Seeing that when you educate and innovate everyone, make everyone noble, and care about others, you can achieve such a great deed, Agua, what would you do if it were you? "
Watermelon 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, and directly overcome the material barriers and enter the final Datong society."
"Spiritual transformation... how to change... "
"Through classroom education, and practical education."
"..." Watermelon couldn't think clearly about this for a while, but Ning Yi looked ahead, and then spoke.
"... They finally came to a conclusion that it is difficult for human beings to cross the spiritual gap when the material foundation is not yet satisfied. In order to achieve equality, everyone's spirit is incomparably noble, they must first We have to go back and create a material foundation, an educational foundation, a cultural foundation…”
Ning Yi said this, and finally fell silent. Watermelon thought for a moment: "Noble spirit, what does it have to do with material things?"
"It's like when I'm full, I choose to do something good, and I want to be a good person. If I can't get enough to eat, I probably don't want to be a good person."
"Isn't that just that the poor have a good conscience, and a good person like that is a real good person?"
"What is a real good man, Agua? Where can there be a real good man? People are just people, they have their own strengths and weaknesses. We all live in this world, some ** will hurt others, we say this is wrong, some ** is beneficial to most people, we call it ideal. You are lazy and want to be an official in your heart, this is called **, You study hard and work hard and want to be an official, this is the ideal.”
Ning Yi smiled: "Although material can't really make people a good person, material can solve some of the problems, and it can solve some of them, of course, some of them are good. Education can also solve some of the problems, so education has to come up, and then, They have thrown away the culture of more than 3,000 years, and they have to build their own culture, every thing, to solve a part of the problem. When everything is done, one day in the future, maybe they will be able to have that qualification, and then go to that ultimate goal. Goals, challenge…”
"...their previous challenge." Xigua hesitated, "How did they come to this conclusion? What happened to their challenge?"
"Agua, stories are just stories." Ning Yi patted her head, "The real question is, in these stages I have seen, what is the core law that really dominates every change. From the Westernization Movement , to reform and reform, old warlords, new warlords, elite governments, and people's governments, what is the core in the middle." He paused, "The core in the middle is called social consensus, or it is called the group subconscious. "
"This kind of social consensus is not a superficial consensus. It is a combination of all people in this society. There may be more scholars, more officials, and less peasants. Add their views on the world. Get up and work out an average, and that will determine what a society looks like."
"Of course, at the beginning, the proportion of ordinary people who didn't study was very small. The further they go, the more they can't be ignored. We were talking about the Qing Dynasty for three hundred years, and when they were suddenly beaten, everyone would start to think, how What to do? At this time, the Westernization Movement was proposed, everyone thinks about it, it makes sense, this change is accepted by the public."
"Continuing to be beaten shows that the changes are not enough. Everyone's ideas are added together. If you accept this is not enough, then there will be reforms and 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, don't want the emperor, become the consensus of the society. Then the old warlords become the consensus, and the warlords need to learn foreign ideas and technologies, and gradually become a consensus. Our cultural system is obviously out of tune with the science of physics, and we were beaten. After such a long time, it became a consensus to gradually destroy this cultural system. After the establishment of the elite government, everyone opened their eyes to see the world's best people as officials. The social consensus at that time felt that this would be enough, so they did not It has also become a consensus to stop fishing.”
"When the elitist regime can't keep up, and the people are struggling, everyone has reached a consensus that they must be more excellent, more honest, and more self-disciplined... Such a social consensus will profoundly affect a group of people, their hearts Deeply agreeing with these ideas, they can do things like that, and they can give a steamed bun to others when they are hungry. This is the social consensus that has finally been created after a hundred years of humiliation. , is what everyone feels in the bottom of their hearts should be."
"One hundred and twenty years, the enemy has finally been defeated, and there are 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. Give it to your companions, or take it back to your children?"
"When such a problem falls on millions of people and hundreds of millions of people, you will find that in the most difficult times, everyone will feel that such 'nobility' is necessary, and the situation is better, some people will feel that It’s not so necessary. What if you still want to maintain this kind of nobility? It may be possible to make up for some of it through better material, better education, and better culture.”
"Agua, today you don't need to worry about the farmers outside, you just go to see the scholars, the officials around you, and my students, think about it, what is the social consensus today? Everyone is equal? Some people haven't even formed a consensus on the idea of 'letting people who work on the land' "
"Without that kind of consensus, Chen Shanjun couldn't really shape such officials. Just like the construction of courts in the Huaxia Army, we stipulated good provisions and took serious steps to make everyone act under such provisions. Question, no matter whether you are rich or poor, you face the same clauses and steps, so you can be as equal as possible, but where is the social consensus? Poor people can't understand such impersonal clauses, what they yearn for is The judgment of Master Qingtian, so even if the three orders and Wushen keep running classes for education, and go to the patrol law enforcement team outside, there are still many times when I still have the urge to be the master of Qingtian, ignore the provisions, or deal with it strictly or openly. "
"There's nothing wrong with the verdict." Watermelon muttered.
"It's not bad, you have to explore slowly and get used to it." Ning Yi smiled, and then took a circle towards the whole night sky, "This world, there are so many people, it seems that there is no connection, the world is with them. It doesn't matter, but the whole world is still connected with 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 forward."
"Just like being an official, everyone hates corrupt officials, but if your uncle becomes an official, do you think he should be very clean? Or do you think he should help his family a lot? Your thoughts will determine what the world will look like. Suppose today that everyone has made a big step forward in equality, you are a small citizen, and if something goes wrong, your first reaction is to find a relationship to help, or to let the judicial organs directly Stripes do things. The way society looks, fluctuates up and down within the average of these ideas."
"I can hold hundreds of meetings a year in the Huaxia government and try my best to tell them that you need to be clean, but these meetings cannot really defeat and reverse the consensus in people's hearts. The consensus in the subconscious of the entire society is determined by culture. "
They turned around the long street in front of them, and turned out to a secluded square. There was already a small river next to it, and the flower boats on the river passed by, reflecting the sparkling waves. The two walked quietly for a while, and Xigua said, "No wonder you asked Zhuji... to write those things..."
"The only thing that can go deep into the subconscious is culture." Ning Yi smiled complicatedly and tiredly, "If you want everyone to be equal, you have to let people's lives be full of stories about equality. We want to tell others about the sins of the world. Let them discuss the emperor's incompetence. Of course, it's not that simple as a whole, but here is the big one... We can drag this society forward a step, and every step forward, we need to lay a solid foundation in everyone's heart, and after one step, It is possible to go to the next step, otherwise you take one more step and they will pull you back."
"Chen Shanjun's old bull head can bring a lot of experience about equality... For example, he roughly divided his fields at the beginning because he had our soldiers to fight him. If there is no such a giant as the Huaxia Army as a premise? Is it necessary to use it? Longer time and better public opinion? He has been running Lao Niu Tau for two years. At the beginning, he talked about equality. When encountering such or such problems, he will continue to increase his theories and opinions, regardless of whether he walks away or not. Get the past, these of him will become the cornerstone for the future..."
"But if you say let me come, Agua, you look up to me, and I can't go, because I'm afraid of everyone's subconscious. Once you go too fast, they hold you back, even when they themselves They'll kill you if you know..."
"What have you been thinking about all day..."
Watermelon reached out and stroked his brow, Ning Yi smiled and said, "So, I have seen it, but I haven't seen it."
"In your story, it will take hundreds of years to realize Datong, right?"
"I'm afraid it's going to be..."
"Will they have the next challenge? What was that like?"
"I can't see clearly from the back..."
"You can't make up a whole story..."
"So I really saw it, and it's not my own nonsense, I don't believe it..."
"You speak so convincingly, of course I believe it."
Ning Yi looked at her, and the watermelon blinked with her big watery eyes.
"Forget it, by the way, you said that the Westernization Movement was disgusting, what's the matter?"
"It's just disgusting!"
The two were talking and laughing, walking all the way, and when they reached a section of intersection ahead, the lights came on again, and there were pedestrians on the road. Watermelon suddenly saw someone, and pulled Ning Yi forward quietly. Then the couple hid behind an alley, sticking out their heads and peeping ahead.
"Who is it?" Ning Yi frowned as he leaned on his wife's shoulder.
"A bad guy in the city, look, that old man, named Guan Shanhai, brought a woman with him... the big devil... these days he often speaks ill of us on the newsprint."
Ning Yi curled his lips: "Enough is enough, don't lose face. There are thousands of bad guys in Chengdu right now, I opened the door and let them in, which one I took in my eyes, you dragged me to peep at him like this , when he knows about it, I can't brag for a lifetime. I'm ashamed to look at him when I'm gone."
"No." Xigua waved and hit him, "This afternoon, Ningji asked Hou Yuanyong to check this old thing. Someone mentioned it, I don't know why, but it didn't happen to happen... The old thing offended my son..."
"Huh?" Ning Yi frowned, lying behind the watermelon and taking a few more glances, "Okay, what offends you can't offend, just the old man's body, if it really offends, the second child will remove him early. Block... No, do you think the second child would do this?"
"I don't know." Watermelon said, "Xiaoji is very good."
"Oh, forget it, an old man**, what's there to see, go back and find someone to check. I'm gone."
"I can't check. Xiaoji was trained by me. It's amazing. The Xiaohou he secretly found, if you make a big noise, he will know it's exposed. It can't be said that we are monitoring him all day long."
"It makes sense for you to say that. He knows that he is secretly looking for someone. This is to avoid our surveillance. Obviously there is a ghost in his heart... Do you really have to send someone to follow him?" Two eyes, and then I felt a sense of **, "Go, you can't see anything."
"I came over in the middle of the night and killed him. You can tell it's not a good thing at a glance."
"You can't… go away."
"Don't pull me, I..."
rip-
On the side under the moonlight, Guan Shanhai took the woman into the big house. The two couples here stood in a remote alley, looking at each other angrily.
"How can you be like this, tearing your own woman's clothes outside, and being seen by others, what's your pride..."
"Let's go away, your god-like husband has already spoken, you should be deaf to your ears... An old man, when I turn around, I will have someone arrest him and pour chili water..."
Watermelon stretched out his hands to beat him, and Ning Yi also raised his hand to fight back.
This night was like a spark, and the low mood of the watermelon because of the old bull's head was relieved a little after being "interrupted" by Ning Yi. After returning, the couple watched something separately. Someone sent the secret report to the watermelon, but It was Qian Luoning who also came to the police on the condition of the old bull.
After stumbling all the way to this place, no one knows whether the old cow head can persevere. But for Ning Yi, everything in Chengdu at the moment must be important. As he said on the street, thousands of enemies are coming into the city. The Huaxia Army seems to be responding mechanically, but inside Countless work is going on.
Xigua recalled all the things her husband had said before—even though it sounded like a fantasy, she knew that Ning Yi would not be useless when she said these things—she grabbed a pen and paper, and after a moment of hesitation, she began to write on the paper "oo movement" four words.
She really didn't want to write the first two words. Ning Yi was too bad, and he was fooling around in such a serious matter.
After the "oo movement", there are "reform reforms", "old warlords", "new warlords"... and so on. Relying on memories to write these down, I thought about the "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 dared to think about success easily, so he let the old bull's head split? Will all exploration be regarded as an experiment
After more than 100 years of humiliation and exploration, constantly finding ways, constantly failing, and constantly summing up experience and modifying the way, the absolute right has never really appeared at any moment. How would you feel if you were in such a world? Excited or desperate
She can still remember the excitement when she heard Ning Yi's remarks on equality in the streets of Hangzhou. When Ning Yi rebelled against the monarch, she thought that the day was not far away. After more than ten years, she has become more and more clear every day that her husband defines the success of this career on a scale of a hundred or a thousand years.
Life is so short...
