Chapter 64: Cannibalism (20)
The weather in Anqing was as bad as Wang Mingshan's mood, the sky was extremely gloomy, and the rain kept going, but it was falling big or small. The rainy season in Gangnam has begun.
In the past, everyone was basically at home. Anqing's literary style is very prosperous, and the rainy season is a bad day for children, and parents will inevitably have to take school homework exams at home. The so-called beating children on rainy days is also idle. Not to mention that school homework always gives parents a reason to punish.
With Wang Mingshan's learning attitude when he was a child, he hated the rainy day. He didn't move back to the old home that had left countless unhappy memories, many memories had made him unhappy, but now that even the people in the memories were gone, Wang Mingshan felt even more suffocated. He spent a considerable amount of effort to inquire about his own affairs, but the result was no news. The massacre of the Hunan army was extremely thorough, the same as Luzhou, and after the entire Anqing experienced the massacre and sacking, there were not many locals left. In such a state of mind, Wang Mingshan prefers to be with his comrades and feels a sense of fulfillment in the whole team.
Of course, it is true that the industrial age that Weeser speaks of is completely different from the old era. The first is that a large number of new departments created by the government will not stop working because of the rainy season. Not being able to go to the countryside to promote land reform does not mean that industries such as telegraph, postal services, hospitals, and education have also stopped operating. These sectors are expanding rapidly because of government inputs.
Wang Mingshan was called up to give lectures. In a sense, the governor of Wei Ze was more domineering than Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang only dared to implement the same car and the same track, and Wei Zedu also implemented the policy of saying the same thing. He not only determined the metric system, but also compiled the Xinhua dictionary and determined the grammar of the vernacular. It is also a set of pinyin system that is used as the basis for pronunciation. Wang Mingshan, a cadre who followed the Liberation Army as a teenager, can also speak Mandarin so-so. It is enough to give lessons to the teachers and trainees of the normal school.
"The sons of Gan, Yue, Yi, and raccoon dogs are born with the same voice, and they grow up to be different from each other, and they teach them to be. The first cry we were born with was almost the same, and it would never be the dialect of the place where every child cried. I've been to many places, and each place has a different accent. It's not something they're born with, it's something they've learned. Anqing dialect, Jiangning dialect, Guangzhou dialect, the languages of these places are actually the same as the Mandarin we are about to learn, and they all need to be learned to master. It's a skill. Du Du created pinyin, which is used to determine how to pronounce it. You don't have to think too much, just keep your head down and start reciting. First of all, he told these students the basic truth in fluent Anqing dialect, and after speaking, Wang Mingshan recited the 26 pinyin smoothly from beginning to end several times in fluent Mandarin with Anqing flavor.
In Mandarin with the flavor of Anqing, Wang Mingshan continued: "Language itself is a tool, and Mandarin is first used in the army. Orders on the battlefield must be shouted, and the troops come from all over the country with different accents, and it is bad if you don't understand the order. Instead of learning many languages from around the world, it's better to learn only Mandarin. β
After explaining these theoretical knowledge, Wang Mingshan told these students about the 26 pinyin tables. The initial stage of learning is not for them to understand, but for the group to be able to memorize it from beginning to end without using their brains at all. So the crowd straightened their necks and began to recite "abcdefg......".
Since he is not a teacher specially, Wang Mingshan is too lazy to spend any effort outside of teaching. He left immediately after the daily lectures, and the new government was very busy with the administrative work, and Wang Mingshan temporarily participated in the financial and budget departments, because of the lack of cadres, he, an outsider, also had to bear a very heavy workload.
After the fifth day of the course, the students were finally able to recite the pinyin alphabet, and all that was left was to take the primary school textbook and teach how to pinyin word by word. This process is very troublesome, and the clever students learn quickly and can use the pinyin tool very well. Some students obviously don't feel it, and the pinyin is a mess. They simply can't associate the new pronunciation with the text.
Wang Mingshan didn't criticize these guys, after all, the outline is very clear, "Hanyu Pinyin, like the skills learned by a qiΔ, has to be practiced." "In the troops, from Weese to the soldiers, everyone spoke in Mandarin as much as possible. There is an overall atmosphere and everyone is making very fast progress. In Anqing, it is obvious that this atmosphere is quite insufficient.
Although the rainy season has come to an end, the rain is not light, and Wang Mingshan is full of hope that the rainy season he was once accustomed to will pass quickly. While sitting and resting in the office with a lot of moisture, Wang Mingshan couldn't help but miss his dormitory in Guangzhou. Even in the hot and humid city of Guangzhou, there is a good ventilation design, a good water supply and water system, as well as cheap mosquito coils and soap, and the dormitory is very lively. Instead, he returned to Anqing, this gloomy house design, as well as the various smells of the human body, made Wang Mingshan feel very uncomfortable.
"Hello, Mr. Wang." A female voice sounded next to Wang Mingshan. When I looked at it, it was a student in Wang Mingshan's class. She looks like she is about twenty years old, her appearance is very delicate, and she has a sense of calmness. However, in this era of war and chaos, everyone has had the test of life and death, which is an extremely strong emotional fluctuation, and a calm expression is very common in the Liberation Army.
"What's the matter with you?" Wang Mingshan asked.
"Teacher Wang, your class is really good!" The female student said.
Wang Mingshan didn't care about this compliment, he replied calmly: "I will tell you how Wei Dudu educates me." Practice well, this process must not be a little fancy. β
Seeing that Wang Mingshan was preparing to send off guests, the female student hurriedly said: "I am a member of the study committee in the class, and my name is Lu Fengzhi." The classmates asked me to tell Teacher Wang, can you give us more lectures and talk. Let's learn a little bit more. β
The last thing Wang Mingshan wanted was to waste time in this temporary teaching process, he frowned and said, "You have to practice more yourself!" β
Lu Fengzhi immediately took over the conversation and said, "The students just want to practice more with Teacher Wang!" Mr. Wang, you also said that in addition to reciting every day, did you also have to read various articles aloud with the troops? β
He was caught in by what he said, and Wang Mingshan felt that there was a sense of digging a pit and jumping by himself. Those who could receive systematic training were the core departments of the Liberation Army, and these people had to be those who had joined the Liberation Army before 1857 at the latest, or were recruited as civil servants later. Industrialization has made life extremely tense for the entire Liberation Army, and there is so much time for more systematic training. Anqing is considered a "newly liberated" area, and it has reached the limit of being able to make up for the civil servants of various departments, and it is even more impossible to provide systematic training to these people at present.
"You have to practice more yourself, I really don't have time to delay with you more." Wang Mingshan told the truth directly, and after finishing speaking, he also felt that it was a serious problem to delay his work. He hurriedly changed his words, "In the future, special teachers will come, and I still have too much work to do." β
Lu Fengzhi didn't get angry because of Wang Mingshan's words, her slender phoenix eyes looked calm, "Teacher Wang, you are a native of Anqing, right?" Since we're fellow countrymen, can't you help us a little more? β
At the mention of Anqing's fellow villagers, Wang Mingshan felt a pain in his heart. Anqing suffered such a catastrophe, and his family was unlucky at this time. With a wry smile, Wang Mingshan replied in a low voice: "Our Anqing is a big disaster, everyone has suffered a lot!" β
Lu Fengzhi replied: "Yes! But I don't know where your family lives, Mr. Wang, my family is also from Anqing, and then my family fled from the city......"
"Oh?" Wang Mingshan became a little interested, and he also felt that his family would not wait for death in Anqing City, and should escape. It's just that he didn't know where his family fled to first, and secondly, this damn rainy season also prevented Wang Mingshan from going out to inquire about the news.
A few days later, Wang Mingshan's class was coming to an end, and when he was packing up his things and preparing to go back to the dormitory, Wang Mingshan suddenly found that an unsigned letter appeared on his desk. When I opened it, the letter said that his sister might be at a distant uncle's house a hundred miles west of Anqing. The latter content made Wang Mingshan's eyes widen, and the letter said that Wang Mingshan's sister Wang Mingxiu may have been married to an officer of the Hunan army by the distant uncle.
Although the content is unknown, Wang Mingxiu is indeed the name of Wang Mingshan's sister. In these years, girls rarely give scientific names, and rarely use the words of their peers in the clan, Wang Mingxiu's family loves, Wang Mingshan's father gave his baby daughter a very formal name. Anqing is not a territory under the rule of the Guangfu Army, and few people know the scientific name "Wang Mingxiu" except for people who are very close to them. This is the secret of the suitor family that will be told at the time of marriage.
On July 25, after the rainy season in Jiangnan had passed, Wang Mingshan's report to Wei Ze was officially sent to Wei Ze. After reading the report, Wei Ze didn't know how to give instructions. If we look purely at the content of the text, Wei Ze appreciates this report very much. The report expressed a bitter hatred with the Huainan landlords and gentry, and Wang Mingshan Jianyì used extremely tough means to sweep away these unconscionable landlords and gentry, "punishing all these clowns who jumped off the beam and dividing their land and property."
But Wei Ze could also see clearly that such a fierce desire to kill was completely out of Wang Mingshan's personal anger, and there must have been something that made Wang Mingshan completely rampant.
Compared with Wang Mingshan, Shen Xin's attitude was much gentler. His report has already shown that ordinary laborers and small and medium-sized landlords have been mobilized, and many small and medium-sized landlords who have been subjected to cruel treatment have expressed their support for the Liberation Army in a clear-cut manner. However, they may not support the nationalization of land, so Shen Xin hopes to spend more time solving the problem.
Although Wei Ze was more in favor of Shen Xin's ability and political skills, at this time Wei Ze found that he needed a radical like Wang Mingshan more, and sometimes he had to take more drastic measures to solve the problem. After thinking about it for a while, Wei Ze finally forwarded Wang Mingshan's report to Shen Xin. He instructed: The trial must be done by the judicial department, and the trial must be made public. The enforcers must be our government, not the local governments. But it cannot be condoned.
After writing this, Weeser put the matter that had decided thousands of lives behind him. Because he thought too much, even Wei Ze himself felt a little weak in his heart. R1058
