People on this plane didn't have much experience sharing emotions, and they didn't have the habit of applauding, and from another point of view, standing up for the safety of their own family was considered a very normal behavior at the time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so after the speech, the audience was quiet and there was no sound. Mei Jiaju bowed again and prepared to leave the venue.

Pap, papa, papa, Liu Yao's applause was remembered in the school. Then Yao Ying and Liu Man also applauded. Liu Yao walked in front of Mei Jiaju while applauding, raised his hand to give Mei Jiaju a military salute, and then said to everyone: "I gave a military salute to Mei Jiaju just now. This is the etiquette of the Meijia Village Guard. As the founder of the Guard, I know Mei Jiaju very well about the first batch of members. Not only was he brave, but he proved his bravery. When he was in Li Zhai, he took the initiative to choose death twice, once he drew lots in a row until he drew the short lot, and once again when the pursuers were approaching, he turned around and pounced on Li Ren, giving everyone a chance to escape. is such a brave man, who just said to everyone that he loves life and longs to live. No one wants to die, and no one who sees death as home, if he has a choice, will not give up his life. In fact, many of you here may have faced death, or faced or failed to face the moment when you had to die. No one is willing to face such a moment. Those who are bent on death are not normal people. Mei Jiaju, like you and me, is a normal person. But what is different from us is that he does not face death when he is chased by the Li people and he sprains his foot, and he does not choose to face danger when his family is in danger. He is facing danger for the sake of all of you. ”

Liu Yao looked around at everyone and said, "Mei Jiaju has other choices, he can not be a soldier; Each of us seems to have another choice, and if you don't go into the army, at least for now, no one will find you. But all of us don't have other options in this together. If each of us doesn't go into the army, something bad will happen. There are Haikou around us, there are Li people, there are county orders who will come to collect taxes, and there are people who may always come to collect grain. Seeing that the people listening to the speech only reacted somewhat now, Liu Yao deeply realized that in order to move people, it is necessary to mobilize his vital interests. When it comes to these specific harms, only those who listen will feel it.

"If we want to live a good life, we need more fields, salt pans, and workshops. Do the saws and sickles in the blacksmith shop make your work easier? Does the soy sauce and fermented bean curd in the sauce garden make the meal more delicious? Now we are not rich. In the future, each of our families will have a new house, most of them say that the family will have thousands of taels of silver saved, if we don't protect ourselves, isn't it like a child walking on the street with silver, sooner or later it will be robbed? It's like a person walking in a dense forest without a weapon, and sooner or later he will be eaten? More and more people were touched by this, especially the beautiful life described by Liu Yao and the tragic experiences exemplified, which deeply touched them.

"To protect yourself, you have to have your own army. Thankfully, there are not too many forces around us. The county officials are not worth mentioning, and the guards can defeat them before they are loaded with guns. There are thousands of Li people, although there is no official fight, but after all, we have retreated. We have not encountered the general troops of Yao General, and now that we have the head of the spear and the armor, it is really not easy for the average opponent to defeat us. When everyone heard this, there was a lot of discussion, and they seemed to have a sense of participation.

"Mei Jiaju and his comrades-in-arms joined the army at this time, which is a blessing for all of us. It is a blessing for all of us to have these children stand up and protect us. Let's applaud and thank them! ”

The crowd rejoiced. Liu Yao ended his speech at the right time, returned to his wife and children with joy, and whispered to his daughter: "Your father used to be first-class in his lectures, and your mother knew it." Yao Ying gave her daughter an affirmative gesture when she heard this, and laughed.

On the way home from school, Liu Yao said to the two ladies beside him: "Today's lecture reminds me of one thing. We need to have our own belief system. In Western society, everything is done in the church, and the same is true in any religious society, and the temple is the place of ceremony for all major events. To secular countries like the Soviet Union and China, it's the Great Hall of the People and the like. There has to be a place. ”

"That one of us was a normal classroom." Liu Man reminded jokingly.

"Actually, I was playing with the idea of the classroom." Liu Yao said thoughtfully: "The international school you studied in before you came here was the one for foreign children, didn't it also have an auditorium and often hold some performances?" ”

"That's right, we sometimes have gym classes in it on rainy days." Liu Man recalled.

"We in China attach the most importance to education, and reading comes first. The school itself has a sense of sacredness in China. This sense of sacredness is even greater than that of Taoist temples, where there is a strong sense of life. Liu Yao pondered.

"That's what you're talking about. I don't think people dare to speak loudly at school, but it's more casual in the temple. Yao Ying also noticed this phenomenon. As a baptized official Christian, she still prefers Christianity to be around her: "Why don't we develop churches? It's all ready-made. In the world you came, you also have a good impression of Christianity. ”

"Of course, Christianity is the one I am most optimistic about among all religions, but all religions have problems, especially at this time, the difference between Christianity and ****** religion is really not big, and people will be killed because of religion. I will not allow religion to spread until I am strong enough to make the people feel the power of science. ”

"What about the local Taoism and Buddhism? They are already spreading. "Liu Man was also an atheist before coming to this plane, and he didn't have a high opinion of religion.

"China's native religions are basically scum. They are compared to Christian ****** religion like the difference between massage and medicine. Liu Yao replied nonchalantly. Then he said: "In the next two days, I will draw a drawing of a school, and in the future, all villages and towns will have such a school." The classrooms are neat and tidy, there are activity rooms and sports fields to cultivate children's sentiments, there are squares and auditoriums for large-scale activities, and villagers are also allowed to come here to do weddings and funerals, elections, joining the army, dividends, etc., all here. The principal is the priest and the teacher is the pastor. I want to build a system of faith and life based on science. ”

"It seems difficult. They have their own way, such as weddings, and they worship heaven and earth to serve tea to their parents. "Liu Man has been to some weddings, so he knows it well.

"It's okay, there's a way. On the one hand, we provide services, establish a ceremonial company, and provide high-quality ceremonial services. I remember when Kim Jong-il died, the North Koreans fixed his coffin on the roof of a car. In my opinion, it would be better to have a carriage and pull it decently. Decent, generous, and joyful, these things are something that everyone will feel. On the other hand, we start with ourselves, in this world, we are celebrities, we are fashion. But of course, changing customs is a long-lasting thing, and it will definitely take a long time. Liu Yao said while thinking of Wei Min's daughter-in-law, who could consider becoming a candidate for the benefit company in the future.

"Yes, get up in the morning and run, nod and say hello when you meet, and call everyone sir or lady when you meet, that's the change we've brought here." Yao Ying said with feeling.

"This is civilization. It also includes brushing your teeth, which we bring to the world. Liu Man, hurry up and start a toothbrush company. I see more and more people brushing their teeth, and the fathers of the executives' families are doing it, and the supply is in short supply. Liu Yao gave his daughter another trick.

"yes. I'll find Mr. Gao to cooperate. You can also get those orphans to work. Jobs such as eye-punching and pretending to be pig's hair require dexterous hands. Liu Man said happily.

Liu Yao stopped and said to his daughter very seriously: "Man, we can't use child labor." ”

"But almost every kid is working. Those orphans did not have the opportunity to work because they had no adults. I'm still helping them. Liu Man explained.

"The world is like this. Every child is a workforce. Don't talk about this world, I was like this when I was young, and I was only two warmers high, and I was responsible for lifting the thermos to the second floor every day. Yao Ying said with emotion.

"I also think that child labor is not good, but if children are not given the opportunity to work, they will have less income, which is not good for their development." Liu Man said helplessly.

"That's because we're too poor and the technology to replace manpower isn't enough. When the harvest is next summer and the grain on more than 3,000 acres of land is collected, I will legislate that child labor will not be used, and schools will manage meals to reduce the burden on families with children, so that there will be less child labor. When Liu Yao said this, he asked: "You say that the children are all working and have some income, what kind of work do they do?" How do you get the income? ”

"I know that. Child laborers mainly do things that do not require a lot of physical effort, such as handing things and moving products, and there are also things like peeling corn and grinding beans. Some of them received grain, and some of them received copper plates and broken silver, and so on. But most of them help out in their own homes, so they don't get paid. Yao Ying has always been concerned about child labor.

"That is, in addition to the grain we give, there are copper plates and silver circulating in this village? Transactions are quite frequent. Liu Yao pondered.

"Of course, people have a lot of needs in addition to eating, making clothes and furniture, washing clothes and carrying water, etc., all of which are circulated with copper plates and silver, and our hospital, doesn't it also mainly collect cash."

"That's right. Chinese can do business anywhere, especially these service-oriented things. We need to gradually revitalize the economy. But we have to wait until after the summer harvest. Therefore, Lao Zhao's project cannot be overemphasized. ”

While speaking, the family came to the door of the house, and saw Wei Min's daughter-in-law leading a few half-grown children waiting at the door, and when they saw the family coming, they hurriedly bowed and said hello. Liu Yao asked strangely, "How many of you, do you have something to do with me?" As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered something and added: "What can I do for you?" The wife and daughter laughed softly on the side and said to each other, "Civilized." ”

"Don't dare to labor Mr. help. These children were taken in by Mr. and had enough to eat, but they had no livelihood and no money to buy clothes. So I want to come to Mr. to ask if I can help Mr. and his family wash their clothes, and come to clean the room every morning and evening, so that they can have some income. Wei Min's daughter-in-law said clearly and generously.

The faces of the children in front of them were flushed, and their eyes were bright. A period of school training gave them a shadow of self-confidence and wisdom in their expressions. It's just that they are all in rags, and they are wearing rags. Yao Ying asked strangely: "When everyone came, they were given a pair of clothes, why didn't they wear them?" A few children came back piecemeal: "Washed." "It's broken." Only one girl whispered, "I can't bear to wear it." ”

Yao Ying said to Wei Min's daughter-in-law: "Daughter-in-law of the Wei family, you go to check the warehouse, and if there are still clothes, you will send two more sets to each of the children." Then he took the last girl's hand and said, "Son, don't be reluctant to put on clothes, you must be reluctant to look like yourself." When you come out to be seen, you have to be clean and tidy. When the children heard this, they all nodded thoughtfully.

Liu Yao said to Yao Ying: "Then arrange for the children to do the laundry and cleaning, and we will also be freed from housework." Moreover, a child can come every day to help us greet guests, pour tea or something. Then he said to his daughter, "Your pencil company, toothbrush company, find them some work." However, those under the age of 12 should not be recruited. Orphans under the age of 12, you can count them, and we will provide them with clothes and basic daily necessities. ”

Sending the children to the house, lighting the oil lamp, filling the room with dim light. Liu Yao said with emotion: "Food and clothing, bright lighting, glass windows, these things are also civilization." We need to hurry up and prepare. Tomorrow I will go to Chahe Village to find the porcelain burner and ask him to try out glass. We should be engaged in chemical industry next year, and glassware is indispensable. ”

"Tomorrow's business will be talked about tomorrow. This light is too dark, let's go to bed early, otherwise it will not be good for the eyes. Yao Ying, as always, guarded against anything that would be unfavorable to her family.

"Dad, what exactly is civilization?" Liu Man hurriedly put down what he was writing and asked while cleaning up.

"We often misuse some words. For example, a Neolithic site will also be named after what civilization. In fact, it is not civilized at all, people's lives have no material security, hardship and hardship, and there is violence between people, that is not civilization at all. ”

"It's always civilized compared to beasts, right?" Liu Man remembered the merciless hunting among the wild animals he saw in this world.

"That's right, for the beast, it should be considered progress. But we can't compare ourselves to wild beasts. We have to at least compare ourselves with the United States when we came. Liu Yao set a goal.
