Chapter 263: The Future of Confucianism
Or that problem, the daily expenses in the hands of the people of the Ming Dynasty are copper coins, of course, large expenses will be stored in the kang cave some silver, and daily tax payment is mainly silver.
But now, under the dislocation of value, it is much more difficult for ordinary people to exchange copper coins for silver dollars.
Li Xiangjun seems to be able to foresee how much wealth will be transferred here, or plunder, and along with this plunder, countless wives will be separated.
She sighed and said, "Is this the only way I can do it?" ”
Li Xiangqian knew that she was thinking of her past, and said: "Actually, it's all the same, unfairness and inequality are the eternal theme in this world, but we just seem to be more warm." ”
Li Xiangjun looked at him and said, "Anyway, the people of the Ming Dynasty, when they see your life, they will sigh like the days of immortals. ”
"Immortals."
Li Xiangqian thought for a while and said: "That was a long time ago, I almost forgot, that is the most unforgettable thing in my memory, the third year of high school needs to earn some pocket money, working in a supermarket, the supermarket is the big grocery store where we usually go to buy all kinds of food and things, the nearby hospital, a father and son came, the son spent money on his father, bought alcohol, bought cigarettes, all good wine and good cigarettes, that old man has terminal cancer, it can be said that there is no hope, so that son is in the last days of his life, Take him to enjoy the good things he can enjoy. ”
Li Xiangjun was a little related, and almost wiped away tears.
"Of course, this incident can be said to have inspired me to love life, to keep climbing up, to change my own class, but on the other hand, he also proved that, at least in our time, the injustice caused by the gap is everywhere, and even more unscrupulous, you know, before I came, the Queen of England was already over 1xx years old, still alive, they have a 24-hour doctor, there is a physical examination at any time, any disease will be found and eradicated before the signs appear, so ......"
Li Xiangjun smiled and said, "At least you can live to ......"
"Yes, even if it is us, it is not difficult to live for hundreds of years, and it is not difficult to even open these technologies to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but it is very difficult to change the habits they have developed in their minds due to the shortage of materials, I remember, when you first arrived on the spaceship, you saw someone leave food on the table and let the robot clean it, and it was very distressing."
Li Xiangjun smiled and said, "After all, it's meat." ”
"Yes, I am also sad when I think that every moment, someone in Jiangnan will starve to death, but I am even more sad when I think of the people who have caused all this can still live so nourishingly."
Li Xiangjun said: "Hey, they have also suffered a lot, and many have been killed. ”
"How is this the same?"
Li Xiangqian said: "You still don't understand that the peasant army is indeed very tyrannical and kills a lot, but I want to ask, who shaped their values of disrespecting life?" ”
Why do poor people always have a tendency to slaughter after revolts?
Because they have lived in an environment of random slaughter by the exploited class since childhood, they have never known that human life is valuable and human beings are dignified.
The concept that human life is very valuable, the gentry class gives itself a position to itself, but the concept that human life is not worth is taught to the common people when the exploiting class brutally kills the people with severe punishment, so when the common people kill the magnates and kill the little dolls of the magnates, they look at the powerful people who are crying bitterly and say very strangely: What is there to cry about, our children are all dying at such a young age.
If you owe taxes, you will die, if you offend your lord, you will die, and if you refuse to contribute your daughter, you will die, and the peasants' worldview has long been ruined, believing that killing people is the main theme of the world.
Under the wind of the landlords overturning the case, some people have repeatedly emphasized that the Yellow Nest and the Boxers are sabotage, but they will never say that they are progressive, let alone those aristocratic lords, Confucian lords, although they do not slaughter on the surface, do not destroy on the surface, but they will do more more tactful, but without hesitation, large-scale, and lasting destructive stability! The era under their rule was full of tragedies of "what are you crying about, how many children have we died, and we have never cried at all".
That's destructive stability.
However, no matter what Li Xiangqian thinks, there is nothing he can do about it.
Of course, he can directly arrest people in Jiangyin as before, and then force the county officials to kill people, not for justice, but for the people of his own family to walk unhindered in Jiangnan and no one dares to provoke, but if he arrives in Nantong, coming to such a thing is actually not beneficial to the overall situation.
In the end, you will think that it is an uneven distribution of spoils.
That is, force could not achieve the result he wanted.
The Confucian group is a hydra, kill one, grow two, never compromise, never repent.
"Therefore, what I hope is that the local people can grow up on their own, instead of going to extremes, that is, when they are oppressed, they dare not resist at all, and when they can't bear to rebel, they start a bottomless massacre, which is not a long-term way."
"I'm here to give a gift to my husband again."
"It's nothing more than packing, documenting, we don't take gifts from them."
I abhor your feasts, and I do not like your assemblies.
Though ye offer me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I am not pleased with them.
and without regard for the peace offerings that you have offered with fattened animals.
Keep your singing voice away from me, for I will not hear the sound of your harps.
May justice be like a great water, and righteousness like a river.
Thinking of these, Li Xiangqian was calculating the gains and losses in the future, and it seemed that sending the women around him to Nantong would only be able to help a small number of people, in fact, if they couldn't change qualitatively, as soon as they left, the local government could come up with a new trick casually, and they could plunder more money.
"When Jiangnan is defeated, I'm afraid I'm going to exile a group of people, tell your brother, don't have too much social interaction with people, it's not good."
"Exile?"
"Yes, I don't like to kill people very much, those who read, many people's ideologies can no longer accept the idea of equality and struggle, the only choice is to be exiled far away, the United States is the best choice, in other words, isn't the favorite thing to go to the United States, this is also to let them catch up with the fashion in advance."
"It's not all ...... there"
"Yes, it's a group of natives, fools don't even know how to dig gold mines, of course, they can't use it if they dig it, uh, of course, those scholars don't seem to have a big deal to do with San Francisco, and you can still go to the Gulf of Mexico to see it......"
At this time, Europeans were not interested in North America, after all, the gold mines in North America were concentrated in the ...... compared to the various plantations that could make money every day Ahem, Indian territory.
Li Xiangjun sighed and didn't say anything.
Li Xiangqian said: "There is no need to feel sorry for them. ”
Li Xiangjun said: "However, I didn't say that there may not be no talents among those people, but isn't this a grudge, and the future is ......."
Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, no matter how much you hate, there is no hatred of the peasants, in fact, I know that their faces are nothing more than scar literature, they are all superb people, so they describe the environment they are in, all the treatment they receive is extremely profound and moving, most people will definitely sympathize with them after reading their descriptions, but they also have to have the opportunity to write down." ”
Li Xiangjun said: "That place is all indigenous. ”
"Yes, the landlord, the lord has to work, they are simply living in hell. They are materially lacking, mentally depressed, have no future, have frustrated ideals, and have nothing. Lonely and helpless, not only does he not have status, but he also has no dignity," Li Xiangqian's voice suddenly changed, "Poor? Do you feel pitiful? They feel pitiful, their lives are ruined and wasted, but what is the difference between the life they live and the life of all the peasants in Chinese history? They just suffer a little and say that they are pitiful, so what about those peasants? They have to stay there for the rest of their lives, and more importantly, they can write books about their misery, and what about the peasants, who speaks for the peasants. ”
Li Xiangqian thought about it for a while and said: "In Chinese history, there are not many people who care about these peasants, because they are illiterate and will not write down their miserable experiences, so the misery of the Confucian masters is just that there is no meat for eating, no oil and water, and it will be widely spread, as long as they are not allowed to raise little wives and plunder the wealth created by others, those elites feel that the place they are in is hell, if it is really hell, then what about those peasants who have been trapped in hell for thousands of years?" Those people wrote a thousand, ten thousand in the book, but why didn't they write one, and what they endured was exactly what all the peasants had endured? They say a thousand, ten thousand words in the book, but do they have a sentence of sympathy for the peasants who are as poor as they are? ”
Li Xiangjun sighed, there is not much of it, what a difficult road this is.
"Of course, they have a part of the right to speak, and even in the future, the children of the peasants, after entering the city and having a full meal, will definitely ask, why did they kill the landlord back then, how gentle and elegant the landlord was, and how generous he behaved, he would definitely ...... When they come to the Americas, they will be miserable, they will not be cured when they are sick, they will have nothing to eat, how pitiful they are, but do they know that in the whole Ming Dynasty, and even in the world, how many people at the bottom are standing up for minor illnesses and waiting for death for major illnesses? Do they know how many brothers in the countryside take up arms and fight for a cow? How many old women cry all night because they lost a pumpkin and want to die because they have lost a chicken? Of course they know, but they think they are scholars, so they can be different, why? Why are readers different from others? Why should others live in hell like this for the rest of their lives, and those who know a few words should go to heaven? ”
Li Xiangjun said: "There are also people who are willing to live with coarse tea and light food, but in general, they have to give people face." ”
"Face, I'm not familiar with that thing, how can a peasant have had self-esteem in the past few thousand years? How could the people at the bottom ever have self-esteem? If you are the most tired and dirty, you will get the least money, and if you lose your money, you will be the first to suspect that you are a thief and have committed a crime, and the first to suspect that you are a robber, and you will go to his house, and you will sit in half a chair with a smiley face, and he will sit in half a chair with a smiley face, and he will come to your house, and you will accompany a smiley face and give him a seat; Marrying your daughter as a little wife, you can only say that it is an honor to go to see your daughter, like these add up. I can name a thousand kinds. Insult? Is there a greater insult in the world? ”
"Xiangjun, we will inevitably be spurned by, you have to have this awareness, this is our war to replace them, they will write every bit of insult they have received in the book, remember it unforgettable. But what about the peasants, the people at the bottom? They can only swallow everything in their stomachs as if nothing had happened, and then continue to beg for life in a hurry. As long as they are not in the situation of dying, they continue to take everything for granted and live in silence. Even when they were humiliated and mutilated to the point that they could not survive, they could only commit suicide in humiliation, and the humiliation of the scholars was humiliation, but the humiliation of the peasants was not humiliation. Their humiliation deserves to be written about, is the humiliation of the peasants inherently deserved? What kind of world is this? ”
"Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of talented people from poverty, there must always be people in high places, and important people in low places."
Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "Yes, sheep sometimes escape from the wolf's mouth, but the wolf is still the natural enemy of the sheep, but in essence, this trick is still over, but how many times have I deduced, no matter what we do, it will be pulled back in the end, but we have to find a way, so that everyone has the opportunity to find their own happiness, no matter what, most people are in pain, and a few people are in joy, I don't think this is the right world, the problem of Confucianism is here, What they have done is too far from what they usually preach, and they usually talk about their hearts and minds, and report to the king when they die, which is really good, but unfortunately, thousands of officials and nobles in the imperial capital, and thousands of scholars in the world, how many people died, a thousand? ”
Li Xiangqian patted the paper in his hand and said: "We have a non-commissioned officer cadet school every six months, which can train 300 non-commissioned officers in one phase, and give us ten years, among these people will grow up officers who can really take charge of themselves, and the construction department has a real elite, with them, whether it is the enemy in the east, west, north and south, they can only be swept away, so we only need to pay attention to the future, we don't need to pay attention to the present, you can just run to Nantong." ”
Nantong is naturally in chaos and hardship.
The government only collects silver dollars for tax collection, and the silver dollars are basically concentrated in the hands of the wealthy after countless secret communications.
If ordinary people want to live in peace, they can basically only be cut like this.
