Chapter 163: Prelude to the Northern Expedition (4)
After sending Wang Mingshan away, Wei Ze sat at the table and looked at a stack of manuscript papers and pondered. Zuo Zongtang persuaded beside him, "Your Majesty, it's getting late." There will be inspections tomorrow, so don't continue to write today. ”
As Wei Ze's secretary, he saw Wei Ze start in such a daze, and then began to write at the desk, and then the night passed. In terms of operational arrangements, it was indeed inappropriate for Weese to do so during the inspection.
"Yes." After Wei Ze finished speaking, he picked up a pencil and wrote down an outline of his thoughts on a piece of paper.
Empirical science should be subordinated to a kind of falsificationism. Falsificationism has at least two advantages.
First, the expression of scientific theories is generally a full-term judgment, while the object of experience is individual. So, if experience is used to prove a theory, then it will not be exhaustive of general theories. For example, no amount of white sheep can prove that all sheep are white, and the theory that just one black sheep can prove that all sheep are white is false. So, the real meaning of experience is that it can falsify scientific theories.
Second, falsificationism avoids the defense and dogma of false theories. If positivism is adhered to, then once there is an experience that is contrary to the theory, people will make special assumptions or limits so that the theory can satisfy the experience. But in reality, such a setting is often extremely unscientific. Falsificationism leads people to believe that all science is just speculation and hypotheses that will not be conclusively proven, but will be falsified at any time.
Finally, Weeser wrote that "truth is divided into absolute truth and relative truth, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth."
After reading these contents, Zuo Zongtang asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you really worried that someone will not succeed in plotting to win the country after learning your things?" ”
"Plotting to seize the country?" Wei Ze was stunned.
This question puzzled Zuo Zongtang for too long, and in the conversation between Wei Ze and Wang Mingshan, Wei Ze not only emphasized theoretical knowledge, but also suggested that Wang Mingshan, as the secretary of the Guangdong Party Committee, should strengthen the ideological education within the party, so that everyone can understand the world of facts. Only when comrades can understand the real operation of society can the other contents of what is said be understood and accepted by comrades.
Of course, all of this is based on practice.
"Your Majesty, you have taught everything you have learned to the party members. If there are ill-intentioned disciples who learn what you teach and do rebellious things, aren't you afraid? Zuo Zongtang finished this question in one go, and he felt a lot of comfort in his heart.
Wei Ze smiled: "If you ask this, it means that your theoretical cognition has not salvaged the foundation." The change of political power is not due to differences in ideas, but due to internal strife. Regime change is due to the fact that the two sides have different economic bases and different economic interests. As the saying goes, it is better to cut off people's wealth than to kill their parents, and if the landlords counterattack, I think everyone can understand it. Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that the workers rise up to seize the country? It's a class issue. By the way, Comrade Zuo Zongtang, I suggest that you take a good look at the "Communist Manifesto", which is very clear. ”
Zuo Zongtang was most puzzled by why Wei Ze didn't hide his secrets, "Your Majesty, after learning what you said, I feel that my eyes have been opened and my thinking has been opened." So I wonder why His Majesty has to teach this to the whole party. At least the people I see have to hide these things. ”
At least in the 21st century, Wei Ze has experienced active or passive deception, almost hysterical panic attacks on the communist system in political concepts, and deep-seated fear of Mao Zhuxi's thoughts, but there is really no school of thought that plays "self-cherishing".
All political schools have to speak out loudly and publicize their ideas in the hope of getting more people's support, so Wei Ze has never thought of hiding his political ideas. Facing Zuo Zongtang's question, Wei Zexian frowned and thought for a while, and he suddenly showed joy on his face, "Comrade Zuo Zongtang, you asked this question well." I can answer your question now, the reason why I didn't hide my smuggling is because the political government of New China is no longer the emperor's political government, but the political political government. Political parties require all political parties to have clear theories and concepts, so I must take out my ideas and explain them to everyone clearly. So that more comrades who accept this concept will join us in the Liberation Party! ”
Zuo Zongtang originally felt that the question he raised was a rather personal question, which involved Wei Ze's personal morality, ethics, and even Wei Ze's personal temperament. Unexpectedly, after pondering for a while, Wei Ze came up with a set of extremely political answers. Some of Zuo Zongtang's inexplicable doubts have been temporarily solved, such as what is the difference between Wei Ze and others, Zuo Zongtang used to think that Wei Ze is a personal character is different from others, but now it seems that Wei Ze is a highly political person.
Just like the problem of Fang Cai, in Zuo Zongtang's view, this is a matter of personal interests, but in Wei Ze's view, it is a highly political issue. This kind of unique concept has indeed created a unique Wei Zelai. Zuo Zongtang sighed in his heart.
Wei Ze didn't have this kind of sigh, Zuo Zongtang's question made him suddenly straighten out a lot of ideas, and he felt very happy at this time. Wei Ze said with a smile: "Why do we call each other comrades, it is because comrades are the organizational model that only has the political party and the government. In terms of basic philosophy, if there are no people who share the same ideas and understanding, they cannot join the same political party. ”
This is not the first time Weeser has put forward the idea of comrades, but it is the first time that Weeser feels that he is not simply imitating the politics of the 21st century, but has made this system a part of himself. As soon as this opening was opened, Wei Ze had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Looking at Zuo Zongtang's more complicated expression, Wei Ze felt that Zuo Zongtang probably didn't understand this. He smiled and said, "Let's all go and rest, we have to inspect tomorrow!" ”
The next day, Wei Ze gave a lecture at the welcoming meeting of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, in which he made a small summary of the struggle in Guangdong over the past 10 years or so on. In this summary, he recounted the old land system, the purely capitalist system, and the socialist system.
This is something that Weeser didn't dare to explain directly, not only because China, which lacks industry, can't understand the operation of capital, but also because Weeser is very worried that there will be a group of people who will directly try to turn themselves into capitalists. Zuo Zongtang's question yesterday made Wei Ze suddenly enlightened, and it was inevitable that some people would have the intention of such a change, and Wei Ze himself couldn't stop it at all. If the reason why the Liberation Party has gone from one victory to another before is that Wei Ze has led everyone to adopt a scientific attitude and adhered to the principle of fairness and openness in the implementation of policies, there is no reason to worry about the change of the position of some people's governments now.
That's not something that can be solved by worrying.
At this time, Wei Ze had no worries, and his talk about the social system could be said to be sonorous and powerful. Wang Mingshan, Pang Congcong and others have long been convinced of Wei Ze's ability, and the middle and low-level party members and cadres in Guangdong have not actually worked directly under Wei Ze, these comrades have only heard too much of Wei Ze's name, but their ability to Wei Ze himself is obtained from all sides. They knew that the simplified Chinese characters and Chinese pinyin they used to learn were all made by Wei Ze's instructors. They knew that the science they were learning was the textbook that Weizer had led the way in. In addition, Wei Ze represents more of an order, that is, those theories and ideas that are not easy to understand on paper.
Until now, Wei Ze personally told them about politics and the concept of politics. The middle- and low-level comrades suddenly found that the leader of the Liberation Party in front of them was not the sum of all kinds of fragments on paper and various reports, but that this living leader was using very easy-to-understand words to put together the fragments of political ideas that everyone had heard about in a very orderly manner.
For example, during the land reform, he attacked the evils of the old land system and the reactionary landlords and gentry. During the civil war, he attacked the decay and depravity and sinfulness of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. When it comes down to foreign wars, it is a phrase "since ancient times".
This kind of labelled propaganda can indeed put forward an idea of explanation, but in the eyes of many members of the Liberation Party and government cadres, it is just a simple play on words.
After listening to Wei Ze really start to talk about the theory of the system, the party members suddenly felt that these seemingly simple word games did not seem to be so simple, and there were really some doorways in it that everyone had ignored before.
The more Zuo Zongtang listened, the more surprised he became, he found that Wei Ze not only did not hide anything from his political philosophy, but also took out the way he thought about the problem and began to tell the party members. In the traditional imperial era, there is a very classic saying, "The minister does not lose his body, and the king does not lose his country." From a vulgar point of view, it's about keeping personal secrets. From the perspective of comparative politics, it is necessary to hide the content of conflicts of interest. It is better to cut off people's financial means than to kill their parents, and any action will inevitably have the interests of the injured party, which is an irreconcilable contradiction.
Wei Ze is good, a sentence of class struggle will put in front of everyone all kinds of contents that should be hidden tightly. The Restoration Party struggled against the landlords, against the Manchus, and against foreign devils. All of this can be explained in terms of "class struggle".
Zuo Zongtang even had some doubts about whether Wei Ze was angry because of Zuo Zongtang, but after thinking about it, Wei Ze was really not the kind of person who would repay him. Zuo Zongtang's concept can't sway Wei Ze's thoughts.
Observing the group of party members and representatives of the Guangdong Liberation Party who listened to the lecture, Zuo Zongtang saw on their faces the excitement unique to many people who had solved their confusion. The applause is undoubtedly proof of this. R1058
