Chapter 501: Twin Stars (3)
Under the sunny sky, the view of the sea from the pier was nice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Wei Kun was about to get on the boat, and he talked to Wang Mingshan about some things before, Wei Kun felt as if he was blocked with a thousand catties of boulders in his heart, so he really wanted to ignore Wang Mingshan. It's just that the separation is imminent, and he can't help but still want to talk to Wang Mingshan.
"Uncle Wang, you said that geniuses are inferior to mortals, I can understand this. But mortals are probably more than geniuses. Wei Kun finally found a topic to discuss, and the previous discussion between him and Wang Mingshan about geniuses and mortals made Wei Kun feel turned upside down. He originally thought that geniuses were all imaginative, but he didn't expect that in Wang Mingshan's opinion, real geniuses are down-to-earth, but mortals can't go up or down.
"Only mortals feel that it is important to be with others, and true geniuses have a clear conscience." Wang Mingshan's attitude has not changed in the slightest, and what he said is a truth that does not conform to ordinary people's views.
"Do you have a clear conscience?" Wei Kun felt that he had caught some resonance. At least he has a lot of shame in his life, and very few of them in retrospect.
Wang Mingshan looked at Wei Kun's expression, as if he saw his former self, and he sighed: "If you judge by whether you can get benefits, there is nothing in this world to have a clear conscience." The benefits are always insufficient, and today you feel that you can get ten benefits from this matter. Tomorrow your horizons are broadened, and if you look at that incident again, you think that you need to get at least twenty benefits to be enough. Geniuses only seek to conform to the law, and they do not take profit as the absolute criterion. They just ask themselves if they are doing their best in that moment. If you have done your best, why do you feel guilty? ”
"But ......, I always felt like I wasn't doing my best." Wei Kun replied distressedly.
"As a mortal, you naturally think you can do anything. I want to know how many steamed buns I eat and how many bowls of soup I drink, but it is a very, very high demand. Wang Mingshan's tone was very relaxed, he had spent a lot of effort and paid a lot of price to cross this ideological barrier back then. However, once that line is crossed, life is completely different.
Wei Kun could understand this theoretically, but he realized that he had never thought about it that way. Facing Wang Mingshan, who was close at hand, Wei Kun felt as if the two people were in two worlds, able to see each other but unable to contact at all. He said distressedly, "Then how do I find myself?" ”
"We materialists believe in the primacy of matter and the secondness of consciousness. We believe that our consciousness arises on the basis of physical existence. When you have consciousness, it means that your physical body already exists, it means that you already exist. So you don't go to yourself, but admit that you already exist. You have to admit that everything you have now is based on what you already are. Don't think of the person you imagine that exists only in your imagination as the real you. Wang Mingshan tried his best to explain.
"But the real me ......, it's ugly!" Wei Kun finally admitted the truth that he was reluctant to say. The true self is an existence that values routing, lazy, incompetent, and likes to escape. If he didn't use the created self to forcibly suppress this actual self, Wei Kun felt that he would be infinitely disgusted with himself.
"That's when you're tired. That's when you didn't solve the problem the right way. For desires, we do not want to destroy, but to nourish. You can look at the party's training materials for this question, and in the final analysis, there are many kinds of desires. Sex and lust are not the same thing, and it is very clear in recent training materials. Wang Mingshan made a suggestion.
"Can it really solve such a fundamental problem?" Wei Kun was very surprised.
"There are two possibilities that reading books doesn't work, the first is that it is not written in the book, and the second is that it is written that you have not read. At the end of the day, I don't read enough books. Wang Mingshan said with a smile.
Although he didn't believe what Wang Mingshan said, Wei Kun still believed Wang Mingshan's suggestion. In fact, this trip to Cyprus has already benefited Wei Kun a lot. As he was about to board the ship, Wei Kun asked one last question, "Uncle Wang, why are you telling me these things?" ”
"Because once your father wants to implement a republic, it will involve a change in policy and direction. At that time, there was a possibility that your brothers would need to come out and be the chairman. Not because you are the sons of the Governor, but to convince everyone that the Governor's policy will not change. What makes the ordinary people feel that this is implied is nothing more than the governor's children being able to govern. Wang Mingshan calmly expounded the cold reason.
Wei Kun felt cold in his heart, and he played with hints to the forefront, which really opened his eyes. What opened Wei Kun's eyes even more was that Wang Mingshan actually dared to hit Wei Ze's son with his idea.
"If you can recognize yourself, recognize the world, and are willing to dedicate yourself to your father's ideals, you will probably be willing to serve the country. If you don't want to, forget it, I don't think there is a hurdle in the world that you can't overcome. Wang Mingshan continued to say calmly.
“…… It comes down to being strong enough? Wei Kun asked.
"Yes. If you are strong enough, you will become more and more fearless. It's not that you're not afraid of anyone or anything, it's that you're not afraid of facing any outcome. This is the line, there is no difference between having to face it and facing it after admitting it, in fact, it is a gap like a chasm. You know all of this, but whether you dare to admit it or not is another matter. It's time to sail, take care all the way. Wang Mingshan gave the order to expel the guests at the end.
Wang Mingshan's already small figure was getting smaller and smaller on the dock, and Wei Kun looked at this high-ranking official of the People's Dynasty, and his heart was at a loss. These words are not Wang Mingshan's originality, Wei Kun has seen them in many places, but Wang Mingshan said it and made Wei Kun feel that the world described in these words is real. But this world is something that Wei Kun can't touch no matter what.
Two days later, Wei Kun returned to Khartoum. The order to move south to Nanzhan has been issued, and Wei Kun's successor has arrived in Khartoum to wait. While Wei Kun handed over the work to the guy in his thirties, he went to find the training content about the matter that Wang Mingshan said. Now the Republic of China implements the succession model of helping the horse and sending a ride. There is a work handover period between the predecessor and the successor, and all the handovers are stipulated, the predecessor must take the successor to familiarize himself with the work, and the successor must complete all the work related to money. Once the successor signs that the handover is completed, any further incident must be counted to the successor. The Republic of China has reported many cases of the predecessor cheating the successor, and the result is that both sides are finished together. Now the successors are very careful and refuse to fill the hole for nothing.
The content recommended by Wang Mingshan is actually not long, and sex and desire are nothing more than a 'hypothesis'. Sex comes from the flesh, and desire comes from acquired life experiences. The urge to give birth to a sister paper is part of nature, but letting the sister paper wear gold-rimmed glasses before the snap is undoubtedly the category of desire. Wei Kun quickly came to such a conclusion from his own experience.
But this did not make Wei Kun feel relaxed, and these contents did not liberate Wei Kun from his confusion. The training article only explained the 'assumptions' of sex and desire, and as for how to raise desire, it did not talk about it at all, and what Wang Mingshan talked about was probably made up by his own brain.
"Secretary Wei, the extra food you spent here is converted into East African currency. Does this comply with the regulations? The successor comrade asked Wei Kun very politely. These days, this uncle in his thirties who went straight to his forties has been working very seriously.
The thought that he was about to leave this position made Wei Kun feel stunned. The layout of the three counties of Sudan has just been outlined, from agriculture to industry, from railway construction to ordinary road construction, and the work of the big ticket is allocated. Wei Kun has worried about this countless times, for example, the black brothers in those remote areas have no concept and no need for currency, so they can only replace it with food. But there is less food and more currency on the Sudan's side, and Wei Kun has no choice but to make a conversion. Otherwise, there will definitely be a situation where Wei Kun has to report on the lack of food to be handed over, and on the other hand, he has to explain the remaining currency. A small balancing act can solve the problem immediately, and all it takes is a report. 'Because there was a shortage of food, we bought food with money and sent it to remote areas.'
After listening to Wei Kun's explanation, reading the content of the report and the approval, the successor uncle did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked about the remote area that Wei Kun had mentioned.
"In this remote area, we don't even eat much of our traditional food. In the last few years, they have traded with us, and only then have they become accustomed to eating food. Wei Kun felt a headache when he mentioned those details, if he didn't care about the remote areas, those black uncles would easily be taken advantage of by Arab missionaries and believe in the Green Church. For the black uncle who believes in the Green Religion, the three counties of the Sultan can only send troops to capture them all and sell them to the Ottoman Empire. The Arab Empire had a lot of experience in using black slaves, and the current Ottoman Empire has its own solution. Whether it is indoctrination or military settlement, there is a problem of not being able to make ends meet. But no matter how high the cost of this thing is, everyone has to grit their teeth and hold on.
After talking about work, Wei Kun's heart became more and more unscored, and this uncle became more and more annoying in his eyes. Wei Kun felt that no one understood his hard work at all, although this uncle didn't dare to accuse, but he could see that this guy handed over the work like a thief, for fear of taking the slightest responsibility. Even if people are all for their own interests, there is no need to make Wei Kun feel as if he has done something wrong.
This suffering is increasing every day, first in the upper Nile basin there is a bamboo wilt disease, when Wei Kun and his personnel went to deal with the problem, rice planthoppers also appeared in rice. Theoretically, it is easy to deal with the bamboo blight, and the diseased bamboo is cut down and burned to cut off the source of the disease. However, the rice planthopper is a new problem in Africa, and the technicians are completely helpless.
Facing a group of frowning guys, the successor uncle said: "Let's send a telegram to the country to see if they have any way." ”
Wei Kun was very dissatisfied with the Sultan group of agricultural technicians in his heart, and he was even more unhappy when he heard that he was going to ask about it. If the matter goes to China, isn't this a joke for those people in the country? And Wei Kun is actually very worried that the guys in China actually don't want to help solve it at all, so it is too difficult for them to come here to check the problem. As long as the people over there are unhappy, they can say anything unpleasant. Passing the buck is even more common.
"Since you've taken over, you'll send it." Wei Kun said unhappily. This is already the result of his forbearance, in fact, Wei Kun is very unhappy in his heart.
The next morning, the successor uncle came with a telegram, "China has said that carp can be raised in rice fields." There are many natural enemies of rice planthoppers, and if we don't have tasseled wasps or brown-rumped red-eyed wasps here, we can introduce ladybugs here to deal with them first. ”
"There should be research on these insects and things like that in the agricultural schools in Khartoum." Wei Kun replied.
Weeser has always believed that leaders should lead by example, not to be absolutely egalitarian, but to take on a share within their ability after assigning work. The same is true for the bamboo forest this time, and Wei Kun has left himself a cutting range. When the matter was dealt with, he came to work with a small hand axe.
"After planting, you have to cut it. What is this? ”
"It seems that there is another solution to these problems."
"It's a waste, it's a waste."
Whether it's cutting bamboo, dragging bamboo, or burning bamboo. Everywhere Wei Kun was, all kinds of dissatisfied voices could be heard, and the more Wei Kun worked, the more he felt that he could barely contain his anger. These seem to be deliberately aimed at Wei Kun, and they want Wei Kun to hear on purpose. Growing bamboo in the upper basin of the Nile was Wei Kun's idea, and it was also an achievement that Wei Kun attached great importance to. Cutting down bamboo and burning it was something Wei Kun never expected, and such a waste of labor undoubtedly greatly discounted Wei Kun's achievements.
A few days later, several large bamboo forests were cut down, and the foresters in charge of the inspection confirmed that there were no diseased bamboos for the time being. They pledged to carry out strict inspections and let the comrades continue to deal with any problems if they had.
Before returning to Khartoum, the telegram arrived at Wei Kun again. The Kingdom of Ethiopia had promised the East African Administrative Region to borrow mountain land to raise cattle, and now the Ethiopian royal court had strongly requested to meet with Wekun.
Wei Kun felt that whether he was in Khartoum or in East Africa, he had to deal with the Kingdom of Ethiopia. The country is also a thousand-year-old country, and the title of emperor of Ethiopia may not be as valuable as the royal family of Europe because of its national strength, but this title of emperor is far older than those crowns in Europe.
Ethiopia was considerate and worried that Vekun would have a tiring journey, so negotiations were held at the border. After talking about the results, Wei Kun was immediately angry. The meeting was not at all a sign of friendship, and not long ago there had been a massive smallpox outbreak in the Ethiopian region, which some in the kingdom claimed was due to the wrath of the gods caused by the large cattle herding in the mountains of Ethiopia in the East African region. Because the cattle farms run in the East African administrative region do not worship the heavens at all. So many cows, but they did not sacrifice to the heavens, aroused the wrath of the gods. So the gods sent down the plague as a warning.
Wei Kun was so angry by such that he slapped the table and said angrily, "You Ethiopians believe in the Eastern Assyrian sect. When did the believers in Christ believe in the nonsense of the gods sending down heavenly punishments?! Moreover, once smallpox is infected by cattle, it is much milder to humans. The vaccinia vaccine was originally obtained from cattle suffering from smallpox. Far from unlucky for you, our cattle have saved many of you from smallpox. You want to come to pit Lao Tzu, but there is no door! ”
It was evident that this roar terrified the Ethiopian envoys. Because of nutritional problems, Wei Kun's stature was only average among the young people of the Republic Dynasty, but he was taller than the locals in Ethiopia. Tall people let out a condescending roar, and humans naturally feel the pressure.
As the Ethiopian translator translated the words from Chinese into the local Ethiopian language, a cup of tea was pushed in front of Wei Kun. Turning his head, he saw that it was the successor uncle who pushed it to Wei Kun. In such a mood, Wei Kun took the tea and drank it all. Then he sat back in his chair with a still angry ass.
The Ethiopian people talked for a long time, and finally said with some fear that the smallpox epidemic was very large, and many tribes were almost wiped out. Under the panic of people, everyone always feels uneasy.
"You!" Wei Kun stood up again and pointed his finger at the representative, "If you want to ask us for help, we can help." By planting cowpox, we can keep your royalty, nobles, and your main ones free from smallpox. I said that whether you believe it or not is your business, and we are very confident in that. But listen to me, if you don't come to us, but to deflect the contradictions. Let me tell you plainly that our army has been inoculated with cowpox and is not afraid of smallpox at all. Our army can go straight to your capital through the smallpox-plagued zone. If you give me any more gibberish, just wait for us to catch and hang your emperor!" Where to go, figure it out for yourselves. ”
Ethiopia is a 3,000-year-old country, having been crowned king by Menlinik I in 975 BC. In the 8th century BC, the Kingdom of Nubia was established. Since then, there have been dynastic changes, but this civilization has not been interrupted. Even though Wei Kun's words were extremely tough, the Ethiopian royal family quickly made a decision and asked the people of the People's Republic of China to send people to vaccinate Ethiopia on a large scale.
In a place like Africa, infectious diseases are rampant. Although there is no specific expertise for agricultural infectious diseases for the time being, there are adequate preparations for human infectious diseases, including the production of vaccines. Wei Kun has been vaccinating those who have truly returned to the government. In Wei Kun's view, infectious diseases are a tool for cleaning East Africa.
After the incident was confirmed, Wei Kun led the team back to Khartoum. As he drove through Khartoum, he saw that the city had changed dramatically over the years, with an increasing proportion of workers rather than the urban poor, and the scope of government management basically extending to the entire city. So the city changed, laziness began to be replaced by labor, and disorder began to be driven out by order. For the people of the Min Dynasty, this was just progress in life. Even if the changes are huge, they are not beyond imagination. Black people have been forced to live a life that they haven't had for thousands of years, and Wei Kun knows how hard it has been.
"Secretary Wei, do you think I'm looking for your fault?" The successor uncle spoke.
