The 361st Round: Shinong Industry and Commerce

If Lu Ren's remarks are heard by some people, they will angrily refute it as "bold and arrogant and nonsense"; Or when some people hear it, they will exclaim, "Lu Ren, are you crazy?" In such an era when the power of the scholar clan is gradually growing, you are declaring war on the scholar class by making such remarks, do you still want Yizhou? ”。

So is Lu Ren really crazy? Or maybe it means that which nerve in Lu Ren's brain is on the wrong line? I'm sorry, Lu Renke is not that stupid. In fact, Lu Ren dared to make such a remark, and he boldly said it after many conditions had been met here in Yizhou.

First of all, it is an old saying that there is no real scholar class in Yizhou, in other words, on Lu Ren's one-third of an acre of land, Lu Ren will not encounter any resistance from the scholar class;

Secondly, if it is counted from the sixth year of Jian'an, when Lu Ren first arrived in Yizhou, to the current thirteenth year of Jian'an, a full seven years have passed, and how much has Lu Ren actually done in secret during these seven years? For example, the popularization of basic cultural education has gradually changed many humanistic concepts...... Seven years! How many things can be done?

Lu Ren doesn't want his territory to become a happy land for those scholars who only know the classics of history and the style of officialdom, and Yizhou does have the conditions to say no to these scholars, that is, Yizhou has long accepted poor and displaced people, and everyone is more concerned about whether they can eat enough and live a good life, and on this basis, Lu Ren has been deliberately guiding, so most of the people in Yizhou have a kind of rejection psychology towards those traditional scholars.

You must know that at this point, Lu Ren has used a knife against the root of the traditional scholar class. Let's put it this way, the traditional scholar class mainly monopolizes two things, the first is reading, that is, it monopolizes cultural knowledge; The second is the official career, that is, monopolizing the official and entering politics.

But what did Lu Ren do? For cultural knowledge, Lu Ren engaged in basic cultural education and printed products, destroying the monopoly of cultural knowledge of the scholar class; And for the career ...... Lu Ren is the head of Yizhou here, who he wants to let go up and who he wants to go down, it's a straightforward thing, okay? And Lu Ren has done a very key thing in this regard, that is, he has set up a special academy, and at the same time, he is already using a combination of examinations and internships to select officials.

At present, some grassroots officials in Yizhou are selected from the three strata of "agriculture and industry" in this way. Of course, the current movement is not too big, after all, there are some things that Lu Ren does not dare to overdo yet, and he has to boil frogs in warm water. But there is one thing, that is, this kind of subtle action has more or less pulled down the scholar class in the hearts of the people of Yizhou.

Moreover, Lu Ren's many actions have actually destroyed the monopoly of the scholar class, at least in Yizhou itself, the Turkish class has no possibility of monopoly...... A small site also has the advantage of being small, that is, many things are easy to manage. How much resistance was there to the imperial examination system during the Sui and Tang dynasties? Li Shimin struggled against the scholar class all his life, and one of the important reasons was that the power of the scholar class was too large at that time.

But these are not much of a problem for Lu Ren, because Yizhou does not have the existence of the power of the scholar clan, and the territory is not very large, so it is naturally not difficult to implement some things, and it can also be called "the country is small and there are few talents, so it has to be flexible". When many things are set and the people are used to nature, those scholars who want to make some waves in Yizhou will be powerless. Because after the people have tasted the sweetness, how can they spit out their own fat and give it to the noble class for exclusive enjoyment?

Of course, Lu Ren is just the beginning now, and there are many, many things to do next, and Lu Ren is not really going to block and block the scholar class, but to pull them down from the high altar, so that they don't have any privileges, and at the same time let them transform to a certain extent.

Lu Ren knows very well what "science and technology are the primary productive forces", but if he really only relies on himself and Shirley, it will definitely be unrealistic. However, it is obviously not enough to rely on the existing "agricultural and industrial" strata to let them do it themselves, so these things still have to rely on the participation of intellectuals.

Therefore, the message expressed by Lu Ren in his remarks is that everyone's social status is actually the same, and no one can do it without it, no one should think too highly of themselves, and no one should think too low of themselves. This is because the people don't know what an online game is, otherwise Lu Ren really wants to say to the people: "Farmers and workers are warriors and archers, merchants are mages, and scholars are wet nurses." A professional team with the assistance of a wet nurse will be stronger and more combative. ”

Okay, these are no longer nonsense, anyway, after Lu Ren told this remark on the stage today, there was certainly a discussion, but more of it attracted applause and applause from the people of Yizhou. The vast majority of the people in Yizhou are "agricultural and industrial and commercial", and the proportion of the "industrial and commercial" class is a bit high, so who wants their social status to be dwarf? Lu Ren heard the enthusiastic response of the people, but he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time secretly thanked many revolutionary martyrs in modern Chinese history, because some of Lu Ren's tricks, such as how to grasp the psychology of the "agricultural and industrial" class, were copied from these revolutionary martyrs.

Next, Lu Ren will add another fire, which can be regarded as further strengthening the self-social status of the "agricultural and industrial" class. So with Lu Ren's order, more than 40 craftsmen who participated in the development of steam locomotives this time and performed well were led to the stage, and Lu Lan, who had already changed into a two-dimensional performance costume at the other end, also led two maids to Lu Ren's side with two plates of objects. Not to mention anything else, Lu Lan's appearance in the two-dimensional system again, there was another commotion in the audience, and the people didn't know what Lu Ren wanted to do now.

Lu Ren waved his hand to signal the people to calm down, and then picked up a beautifully made bronze medal from the tray brought by Lu Lan and said to the people: "This is my special bronze medal, it symbolizes a kind of glory, and of course, there are corresponding benefits." With this bronze medal, you can enjoy a 20% discount on shopping or consumption in any industry under my name, and you can enjoy priority in future train openings or performances. In other words, you can buy tickets first, and you can buy a good seat in the front row first. You may not understand this now, but you will understand it later. And the most important one is that the owner of this card can be exempted from half of the tax and labor, valid for life! In the event of the death of the holder, the card will be withdrawn. ”

The people were red-eyed. In fact, there were similar things in ancient times, that is, the military lord system that was implemented from the Qin Dynasty, but that kind of system is more like dividing social hierarchies to be precise, which does not match Lu Ren's requirements, and many times it actually has no practical significance, like there are often things such as "giving the world a second class of male lords" in historical materials, to put it bluntly, it is just a meaningless name. So Lu Ren got this thing out, which contains quite a lot of honor. Through this honorary significance, it is also improving its social status.

The bronze medal awarded to the craftsmen this time was named the "Luban Award" by Lu Ren...... I won't talk about some gossip, anyway, Lu Ren personally held the tray, but the matter of awarding the bronze medal was handed over to Lu Lan to do. Some people say that it is the other way around? It should be Lu Lan serving the plates, and Lu Ren is doing the branding, right? However, Lu Ren didn't think it was wrong, because Lu Ren felt that the people should be more willing to receive things from Lu Lan's hands than his own big man. As for yes and no, who can say?

Perhaps Lu Ren's guess is correct. Compared with politicians and the like, ordinary people still seem to be more willing to contact idols, at least at this moment, when Lu Lan smiled amiably and handed out the bronze medals to everyone, almost without exception, his eyes were straight, and the envy and jealousy of the bystanders made their eyes burst into flames.

Well, I won't mention these anymore, Lu Ren also knows that many things can't be expected to be done all at once, and they have to be changed slowly over time. I've made a good start today, and there's still a lot to come! And the next home game is better to hand it over to Lu Lan. If this kind of political activity goes too far, the public may get bored.

So after the bronze medal was awarded, Lu Lan's performance this time officially began. And the more than 40 craftsmen who won the bronze medal were also given priority in the front row.

This is Lu Lan's second performance. Because of some experience from the last performance, this performance is no longer as hasty and hectic as the last time, and Lu Lan on the stage is also extraordinarily radiant and charming. Although due to the constraints of conditions, the whole performance may not be as dazzling, dazzling, and screaming as the concerts of some stars in later generations, it is undeniable that all the people are intoxicated with Lu Lan's singing and dancing, so that the performance has obviously ended, and the people still stay in the audience and refuse to leave.

Maybe it was Lu Lan who thanked the audience, but Lu Lan, who had already ended the performance, appeared on the stage again, which made the people feel a surprise again. However, at this time, Lu Lan had already changed out of the two-dimensional costume, and replaced it with a "Mengli Women's Dress" inherited from Wan'er. Facing so many people who were full of expectations, Lu Lan said softly: "It's really late, everyone should go back." But I know that if I don't give the last song, people may not want to leave. And this last song ......"

Saying that, Lu Lan glanced at Lu Ren intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued: "Maybe it will be Xiaolan's reserved music." Because this song comes from a poignant story, a story that Xiaolan will never forget in her life. ”

Everyone was looking forward to it, and Lu Ren was a little unresponsive. It wasn't until the accompaniment music on Shirley's phonograph was accompanied by Lu Ren who was suddenly startled and said secretly: "This girl actually uses this song as her repertoire!?" (To be continued.) )
