Verse 190: Return and rejoice
In the grandmother's heart, the ideal life is for the whole family to go to Australia, which is already occupied by Zhao Lao Er, who is vigorously developing and building a place to settle down after the war.
As the family entered political mode, the more she understood the political concerns, the more she saw the great destructive power of politics to the unity and harmony of the family.
She doesn't like her family to be a royal family.
Since Zhao Zhuang became rich and gradually had the power of overseas nation-building and developed in that direction, the old Zhao Zhuang people understood the political intentions of the main family and saw the good hope and political prospects, and the old grandmother was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the village had quietly and rapidly changed.
It's the hearts of people that have changed.
In general, it is not to change for the worse, but to become more united, more positive, more loyal to the Lord's family, and more enthusiastic and fighting spirit in life and work.
However, on the other hand, the original simple folk customs have quietly changed, and Zhuangzi, who is like a family, has unconsciously lost something. The dealers are no longer the kind of "we Zhao Zhuang is an inseparable whole, we are living here with honor and disgrace, life and death, rich and poor, mutual selfless care and support and protection, I will never let you have a bad life in the family, the main family is the natural boss is the parent, we respect and support the parents, all listen to the boss, but the family, what to say what ......", the dealers have more etiquette to the main family, understanding etiquette is not a bad thing, Words and deeds are more utilitarian, selfish, hypocritical, and contrived, with an invisible barrier, which is usually a very natural and casual joke and joke in the vernacular, chatting and greetings, and becoming a purposeful and mysterious content, the master can not listen to it as before, and then listen to it cordially and casually without thinking, but you must ponder and analyze what the speaker means to respond, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble. The relationship between the upper and lower masters and slaves has brought utilitarian falsehood, not to mention the original equality and friendliness between the bankers, competition is a good thing, but there are more scheming contradictions.
Zhuang Shang is like this, and the Cangzhao family itself is also quietly changing.
A family, the family affection has not changed, but there is more official flavor, the relatives who are equal and harmonious have an invisible but clear insurmountable hierarchy and power division, and the father and son are not simply father and son, but with the meaning of monarchs and ministers; Brothers are not brothers anymore; The old ladies were originally sisters of a husband, what they wanted to say, and when they were dissatisfied, they would lose their temper with each other and quarrel, and when it was over, it would be over, but they became cautious, and they hid their words, and they were invisibly more awe-inspiring and alienated from the Ning grandmother who gave birth to a son. The old ladies are still like that, let alone the others. Not to mention that the housekeeper family, who was like brothers, began to strictly abide by the respect and humility of the master and slave, that is, the Cangzhao girl's family and children also showed a respectful and inferior attitude towards the owner of the village, and it was no longer the kind of natural and normal want to quarrel and quarrel between relatives and family members, and if they wanted to talk to the owner and his wife or had something, the brothers and uncles could naturally laugh and discuss or refute anything. Even Zhao Mingyue, the sister of Zhao Lao's second sister, who is not valued by parents but is extraordinarily tolerant because she is a girl, gradually does not dare to make a fool of herself as before in order to attract attention and more parental care. She is young and keenly aware of what is more and less at home, home is no longer the home of the past, and her parents do not seem to be the parents of the past.
This transformation is developing rapidly and irreversibly with irrepressible force.
The grandmother doesn't like this kind of change, especially the relationship between relatives who are not simple relatives, and there is no obvious dignity and humility in the past, that is how to live.
She quietly observed and found that the fairy-like little grandson seemed to be very comfortable with this complicated social relationship, but the little grandson obviously didn't like it either.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Zhao Zhuang, including all the relatives of Cangzhao, has not deteriorated fundamentally, and it is still the credit of the younger grandson.
The grandmother found that the little grandson seemed to be young and unintentional, but in fact he was deliberately destroying the official atmosphere formed by the family and the village, emphasizing family affection and unity, equality, and natural harmony.
For Zhuangzi, the little grandson emphasizes the ability in public affairs, core leadership, hierarchy, execution, dedication, professionalism, loyalty and efficiency, integrity and conduct, etc., rather than the hierarchy and inferiority in daily life that are naturally divided by social status. When you work and go to work, the leader is the leader, but when you finish work, you are still Wang Lao Wu, and I am still Zhao Lao Er.
The difference in the ability of the dealers and the natural gap between the rich and the poor with the rapid development of Zhao Zhuang, which leads to no longer equality and contradiction between the dealers, Zhao Lao Er engaged in a joint-stock system, and turned the dealers into small shareholders of Zhao Zhuang with the same shares, each family has the same power of supervision and election in personnel and other matters, which guarantees that everyone's fundamental status and interests are still equal, your family has many sons, great power, or strong personal ability, you can be a leader at all levels to show self-worth and obtain more and higher income, But you are not really superior to others, you can't play with your likes and dislikes, temperament, alienation, proximity, mistreatment, or blatant discrimination against those who are inferior to you. Because your position of power is determined by the dealers, if you are arrogant, unequal, fraternal, and united, and if you have bad conduct, people will not choose you as the leader.
In addition, a public fund system, known as the social security system for future generations, has been established to ensure that everyone has no worries, especially the survival and medical care of poor and vulnerable families with poor affordability. Especially in education, children have the same right to free schooling and education, and uniform school uniforms. Your father is a manager, a captain, a face-saving family, and a rich family, which is useless in school, you only have a unified name, and that is the student.
Not only that, in order to maintain equality and unity and weaken the official atmosphere of Zhuangshang, Zhao Lao Er also has other special means.
The most common means, rewarding the good and punishing the bad, rewarding the diligent and punishing the lazy, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, etc., to promote everyone's efforts to maintain the positive energy of the society, and to work hard, it is necessary and must be done.
Zhao Lao Er also asked his parents to personally visit the orphans, widows, and sick families in the village at the end of each year, and the male-to-male, female-to-female Lala family, attach importance to their existence and willingness, maintain their equal status, power and dignity in the village, inquire and use the Cangzhao family's own money and materials to solve the problems they face, and usually solve and follow up on the disasters that these families suddenly encounter in a timely manner, such as asking a doctor from the outside to see a doctor in the name of Zhuangzi, and the treatment is a systematic normal thing, just to let " We are Zhao Zhuang's family", the belief continues to exist and is deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.
These measures and systems have gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, further improving the cohesion, centripetal force and social fairness and warmth, and forming a national system with the transition from the village to the country.
However, from a village to a state, from a commoner's house to a political family, what will inevitably change is still rapidly and steadily formed.
Grandma doesn't like invisible barriers.
The whole family and the family-like farmers live leisurely on that distant island where there are fields, pastures and oceans, but there is no cold, and they are happy and carefree. Moreover, the Australian continent at this time was not as hot and dry as later generations because of the global climate during this period, and it was a real paradise of isolation, safety and independence during this period.
The old grandmother went there, and her original intention was to find out what the truth was and what the little grandson's intentions were, but after reading it, she liked it.
It was a beautiful world of freedom and security.
For the Zhuang family, settling down there is a good place to live.
She focused on politics, read a lot of history books in her spare time, and chatted with many knowledgeable people, and then compared the dangerous state of reality, saw through the bloody and ruthless politics, saw through the rise and fall of the dynasty, and also saw through the little grandson's thorough understanding of the nature of politics and the indifference and disdain revealed in his bones, but he was deeply jealous and even afraid of vigilance, and saw through the fundamental purpose of the little grandson not to leave the motherland but to avoid living abroad in the second half of his life. The little grandson doesn't want to get caught up in political entanglements, let alone get into a political fight with his family.
The old grandmother became more and more fond of the little grandson, far beyond the world and the world's foresight.
Although she prefers her eldest grandson to the core, she still decided that she will live with her younger grandson more in the future, and her only precious son will definitely be there.
When Zhao Gonglian knew that his grandmother had the intention of moving to Australia, he felt uncomfortable.
He had a deep attachment to his grandmother.
In his heart, his mother belongs to his younger brother. Grandmother is his. The old man has always been the most important pillar of his motivation and will.
In addition to his interests and abilities, a very important reason is to show his grandmother, so that the old people are more satisfied and pampered by him.
In the game, it is inevitable that there will be obsession.
As a politician, the nature of politics inevitably makes him suspicious of politics.
Zhao Gonglian does not have Zhao Laoer's accessibility, detachment and chic heart that is in politics but outside politics and the innate superb ability of outstanding scientists in two worlds to politics, no matter how wise and wise he is, it is impossible for Zhao Laoer to have this transcendent realm in politics, which is the inevitability of politics and playing politics.
So he understands his younger brother, believes in his younger brother, and is willing to love his younger brother with all his might, but it is still inevitable that he has been more or less secretly jealous and guarded against his younger brother.
After all, Zhao Lao Er's influence and actual control over the new empire are too great, and he is completely the real supremacy in people's hearts.
This has nothing to do with whether Zhao Lao Er is sitting in that position or not.
Whoever is the emperor has such a younger brother will be jealous.
But the grandmother's wishes made Zhao Gonglian understand a truth: the family, from grandmother to parents to younger brother, didn't like politics very much, didn't care about power, only cared about freedom and the ordinary happiness of living a life like what they liked.
It turns out that he is the only one in the family, who can play politics, is also keen on power games, and is addicted to them, and has a cautious eye.
After smiling bitterly, Zhao Gonglian really had the dashing mind to govern, and was truly freed from the huge pressure and shadow that Zhao Lao Er had been invisibly forming on him.
The "cunning" grandmother could tell from the expression of the eldest grandson that he had a real epiphany.
That's it.
The Cangzhao family will not have a historical tragedy of great success, but brothers competing for cannibalism in the blink of an eye. She smiled happily.
On the same day, the old man easily sent his beloved grandson to embark on the official journey of the Great Song Dynasty again.
This is the last time.
At parting, the old grandmother touched the eldest grandson who was kneeling in front of her and said, "Your brother is fighting in the north with a horse and a bloody battle, and he has no eyes for swords and guns, and I am very worried about him." You are not safe in Cangbei, there are many difficulties and dangers, so you must be extra careful. Something happened to one of your two children and it killed me. But you can't be careless. ”
Zhao Gonglian agreed, comforted the old man, was full of confidence, and set off with only one hundred members of the two hundred guards, without bringing his family.
Hua Rong, who has been pretending to be a general, didn't bring it either.
The Cangzhao family's time in the ancestral land of the Great Song Dynasty is running out.
In the rest of the time, you will have to face many unpredictable dangers, and you may face many fierce battles, so there is no need to take your family to risk and suffer together in the bitter cold land of Cangbei, and it will get in the way when things are urgent.
Su Yuanjing's early and urgent performance of the good news of the imperial court shows that Zhao Gonglian was finally moved, and he was enthusiastically willing to serve the Great Song Dynasty, and he did not accept that he was awarded the terrifying title of the Duke of Yasukuni at such a young age, and was willing to still be the original Marquis of Wencheng, and also took the initiative to retire from the county marquis to the county marquis, so it was a gesture of being willing to be punished, giving the court enough face and maintaining the authority of the king, but he accepted the deputy envoy who supervised the entire Gaoyang Guanlu military, but this is the duty of an officer, a deputy position, There is responsibility but not much real power, no matter how big the name is, it cannot become a military threat, but at this time, it is the most needed by the real situation.
Su Taiwei also knows that he is essentially a literati, and it is okay to talk about it, he is not an expert in really playing military affairs against Liao Kou, and he has no confidence and that ability to lead, and he also needs a real expert like Zhao Gonglian to help him train and lead the overall military situation and share the responsibility and pressure of border defense, so he also welcomes Zhao Gonglian as the deputy of Gaoyang Guanlu.
This is not a threat of competition and the division of power, but a kind of happiness of being an official and being the boss of a district.
In the joy, on the other hand, he sent someone to release the news that Zhao Gonglian went out to defend the Great Song Dynasty again.
Although Taiwei Su was a little mentally prepared in advance for Zhao Gonglian's great influence, he was still extremely shocked when he saw the results after releasing the news.
First of all, the turbulence in the four military states of Cangbei immediately stabilized the morale of the military and the people, at least on the surface, and it was no longer so unpredictable and terrible.
The military and civilians of the four military prefectures, and even those civil and military officials sent by the emperor to monitor and have the right to directly kill Zhao Gonglian by secret order, were also greatly relieved, and were more or less happy about Zhao Gonglian's return and welcomed him.
When the subordinate army directly led by the Taiwei of Hejian Prefecture heard the news, they regretted that they could not follow Zhao Gonglian's rebellion and plot to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty and establish a new dynasty, but they did not dare to make trouble at will, and resumed their daily training and duty in the past, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
The crisis of rebellion at this border was resolved.
The news blew like a wind on Hebei West Road, and the people who had packed up to prepare for the autumn harvest and defected with money, grain and property as soon as they were over buried their lives again.
