463 literati
In Li Guang's busy work, there is a task that he often does, and it is often the same speech, changing a few words. It's very similar to an actor.
In order to calm the mood of the new immigrants, eliminate the fear of the new environment, and let these people who have gone through hardships live with peace of mind, so that they can have a sense of identity with Haitang, Li Guang often goes to the dock to welcome the people who have just landed.
However, this alone is absolutely not enough. It will not happen overnight for these immigrants to have a true national identity. There is one job that is crucial, and that is education.
Compared with the building of an army or even a country, education is a big issue, and its importance is even higher than the building of the army and the country. And education itself is definitely not limited to scientific and cultural knowledge, but also includes humanities, philosophy, politics and history.
Throughout history, how many dynasties, how many nations, and how many countries have risen and fallen. In order for a country to prosper in the long run, the most fundamental thing is not short-term military force or economic prosperity, but that there must be a value that is agreed upon by all levels of society, and this value must be correct.
Li Guang had never thought of such a topic before. However, with the development of the Haitang Kingdom to this day, it is very necessary to improve a relatively complete set of theories.
To this day, with Li Guang's status and influence in Haitang, this is a responsibility that he does not shirk.
In times of crisis, everyone has a common ideal, a common enemy, and a group to survive.
But if you can't think about it in the long run, when peace comes, will the Haitang Kingdom collapse or collapse at once?
This is definitely not unfounded. Just take the Naval Resistance Army as an example, Li Guang has absolute authority, but as a modern person. Li Guang is not domineering to the point of vainly trying to suppress people's hearts. And he was also well aware that there were different groups within the Navy, some inclined to Chairman Chiang, and some closer to the Workers' and Peasants' Party. Some people did not spare their lives to resist Japan based on national sentiments. More people, but because of the pressure of survival, walked under the flag of Haitang. Of course, there are also ambitious people who intend to sacrifice their lives in this troubled world to win wealth for themselves and their descendants.
Li Guang is most worried. When peace comes, the army that you have built will immediately fall apart. You must know that many people in the military, especially among the officer group, still have a strong homeland mentality. The land of China. It is the root of all of them, and it is also the root of Li Guang. Blood-linked. Relatives and friends.
Although in the propaganda in the army, there are many emphases that are beneficial to the Haitang Kingdom, such as: expanding the living space for the descendants of Yan and Huang, opposing the civil war, there are no heroes in the civil war, and the Haitang Kingdom will always use its force to the outside world.
But. Propaganda is, after all, propaganda. Without a shared value that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, all propaganda is not so solid.
Therefore, there must be a value that occupies the main body and is recognized by the vast majority of the population. to unite people's hearts.
Supplemented by the national self-confidence and pride established by the martial arts of the Haitang Kingdom, coupled with economic affluence, with a sense of superiority over other countries and nations, the national spirit and national spirit will slowly condense.
Humanities are not science, and values are not science. Whether this assertion is correct or not remains to be verified by history. But with Li Guang's current level of thinking, it has been exhaustive to come to this conclusion.
However, although humanities and values are not science, they must appear as science. At the very least, it should be logically impeccable.
This point is used by the literati.
When it comes to the literati group, Li Guang is actually a little disgusted in his heart. This disgust came from a little unfounded, perhaps because he was disgusted by the words of those experts calling beasts before the crossing. Perhaps it is despised for the incompetence of some bureaucrats and literati in history, or it may be despised for the endless traitorous words of countless traitors from literati at present. Perhaps it is the disgust of those rotten cynics who open their mouths to be the three outlines and five constants of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
Human beings are not gods, and even gods cannot comprehensively and correctly evaluate or treat a group. Prejudice is everywhere, it may be unscientific, it may not be correct, but everyone has it, and Li Guang is no exception.
Of course, the so-called literati in Li Guang's eyes definitely do not include natural science workers. (What is Premier Yuan?) What is Foreign Minister Yan? Li Guang: This is a double standard. )
The last few greeting activities have made Li Guang's dislike of literati change slightly.
A literati that Li Guang admired was Ye Shaojun (Shengtao) who came at the request of the Ministry of Education of the Haitang Kingdom. )
This man was very famous in the educational circles, and Li Guang carefully read his main text, the illustrations of Feng Zikai (also a famous artist, also among the invitees, but had not yet reached Haitang), all eight volumes of the 1932 edition of the "Enlightened Chinese Textbook", and four volumes of textbooks for senior primary schools published in 1934. For this textbook, Li Guang not only admires, but also admires. The evaluation is: better than the textbook he read decades later (I won't mess with a certain Ministry of Education here), the words are simple, lively, and a small short article, not preaching, but the traditional culture is nurtured in it, which shows the editor's intentions.
Everyone, not only can write world-famous articles. Being able to write and create a textbook that children love to read and educate in fun is the real one. However, Hai Tang Guo is now vigorously promoting education, directly using Mr. Ye's teaching materials, some of which are slightly inappropriate. Not paying royalties and using them in vain is definitely disrespectful to this gentleman.
Pirated foreign devils, Li Guang does not have the slightest psychological barrier. However, Li Guang disdains to do pirated Chinese, especially such a person who writes textbooks with heart and concentrates on educating people. In addition, Li Guang also needs benchmarks for the value orientation of mental knowledge (including patents, etc.), and Mr. Ye is one of them.
Li Guang respected such a real talent very much, not only personally greeted him, but also hired him as the chief editor of the Chinese textbook of Haitang Kingdom on the spot. And Mr. Ye himself is also a reporter, and Li Guang also gave him a certificate of reporter of the Tang Kingdom on the spot.
At the welcome banquet, Li Guang greatly admired Mr. Ye's literary talent and morality, and asked Mr. Ye to be his two children, Su Hao, and Su Hao's enlightenment. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Li Guang became a father, and only then did he understand his parents' expectations and love for him. Now I have met such a good teacher. With this kind of convenience, Li Guang doesn't mind using power for personal gain for the sake of his children (doesn't seem to count?). )。
Like many famous people in history, Mr. Yip's history has since changed.
Many years later, Mr. Ye, who was not short of money, took pleasure in teaching children as a profession and passed down a peach and plum story. Over the years, he still teaches and educates people, and can be a model for others.
-----
Another literati who Li Guang did not admire, but knew that he was a great talent, was Liang Shuming (with homophone-prototype Shuming).
The. Li Guangke has heard of it, not in this era, but in the 21st century. Of course, what he knows is not necessarily the truth. Of course, it doesn't have to be true.
There is a rumor about this public after the liberation. Mao Taizu once criticized this alone:
Liang Shuming has no credit. There is no benefit at all.
Do you think he has the benefits of supplying products and paying income tax like the business community? No.
Does he have the benefit of developing production and prospering the economy? No.
Has he ever been righteous? No.
When did he oppose Chiang Kai-shek and imperialism? No.
When did he cooperate with the CCP and defeat imperialism and feudalism? No.
So, he has no credit.
He is not nodding his head in the great struggle against the United States, aiding the DPRK, but shaking his head.
Why was he able to become a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC? Why did the CCP mention him as a member of the committee? It's because he can still deceive some people, and he has a little deception effect. He is qualified to deceive. He is qualified to deceive.
Being criticized by name to this point can be regarded as unique. But even so, because of the "elegance" of the Mao Dai people, they were safe and sound in the following turbulent years. The reasons for this are complex. But it has a great relationship with his own "great talent".
In fact, what Mao Taizu is most annoying about is that this duke only says but does not do it, which is one of the common problems of literati.
Of course, at present, Mr. Liang Shuming is a master in the literary world, a political-political elite, and an academic master.
Academically, he said that "Chinese Confucianism, Western philosophy, and medicine are the roots of my thoughts" (Chaohua). It is very good that the Confucianism of Confucius, Mencius, and Wang Yangming, the philosophy of Buddhism, and the "philosophy of life" of Bergson in the West are blended together.
Politically, in 1929, he served as the provost of Henan Village Governance College and took over the "Village Governance Monthly" in Beiping.
In 31 years, he founded the "Shandong Rural Construction Research Institute" with Liang Zhonghua and others in Zouping, served as the director and dean of the research department, and advocated the rural construction movement.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as a senator of the Supreme National Defense Council and a member of the National Council for Political Participation.
Visited Yan'an in 38 years.
In 39 years, he participated in the initiation and organization of the "Comrades Association for the Founding of the People's Republic of China".
In 41 years, he agreed with Huang Yanpei, Zuo Shunsheng, Zhang Junmai and others to reorganize the association into the "China Democratic Political League", served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, and went to Hong Kong to found its organ newspaper "Guangming Bao", and served as its president. After the fall of Hong Kong, with the help of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party, he withdrew to Guilin and presided over the affairs of the Southwest Democratic League.
Such a character, no matter what Li Guang's original intention is, must be lowered to seek each other and make a full posture. Otherwise, people really won't come.
Being able to come to Haitang to "inspect and guide" is still the result of Premier Yuan's earnest letters of invitation.
If such a figure can remain, it will be a powerful appeal to the literati in China, and you must know that he is one of the core figures of the Democratic League, one of the several democratic parties in China in later generations.
In addition, this person's talent is also lacking in Haitang Kingdom. Haitang has a propaganda outline, but that thing is, to put it bluntly, a utopian description with no theoretical basis.
And this person has the ability to combine Chinese tradition, European and American democracy, Li Guang, Premier Yuan and other people's ideas for the country, and justify it into a set of theories.
Anyway, he has already done similar things, for example, he is very good at blending the Confucianism of Confucius, Mencius, Wang Yangming, Buddhist philosophy and Bergson's "philosophy of life" in the West.
Moreover, Li Guang read some of this duke's articles and found that he was essentially a great Confucian, but he did not refuse to reform Confucianism.
In fact, Li Guang doesn't care if Confucianism is not Confucian, and he is not completely opposed to Confucianism, and he is also extremely opposed to the practice of pouring dirty water and even throwing away children together. Moreover, Li Guang is a pragmatist. As long as it can unite people's hearts, Confucianism can use it, why not. What's more, is Confucianism all wrong?
More importantly, Mr. Liang opposed the theory of hierarchical struggle, while the Haitang Kingdom solved the biggest contradiction in the country, the uneven land plot, which greatly weakened the basis for the emergence of workers' and peasants' doctrine. Li Guang welcomes this point, and it is better than indiscriminately playing rank-level-fighting-fighting radical people suitable for the Haitang Kingdom.
Although Mr. Liang believed that social order should be consolidated by restoring "legal etiquette" and "leading the national rejuvenation of industry with agriculture". This point does not seem to be entirely timely, and it also conflicts slightly with Li Guang's thoughts.
However, it was his idea of "guiding the national rejuvenation of industry with agriculture" that Premier Yuan highly admired. Even Premier Yuan's core idea of the economy, agriculture, came from Mr. Liang.
There are supporters.
In short, it is advantageous for such a character to stay in the Haitang Kingdom, but of course there are disadvantages. But here's what's in front of you. The Haitang Kingdom, with a population of more than two million, is not qualified to be picky. It is also impossible to recruit people who are completely desirable. How to keep such a person in Haitang Kingdom is the most important thing at the moment.
Li Guang's welcome speech was very warm: the people of Haitang sincerely invited Mr. Liang to inspect and guide.
The courtesy is over. Li Guang gave a grand blueprint (painting cakes?) ): Haitang Kingdom will be a mixture, your ideals, my ideals, everyone's ideals, the ideals of the descendants of Yan and Huang, a prosperous and powerful country.
Although my Chinese sons and daughters live overseas. Never forget your home country. Millions of Haitang people are looking forward to Mr. Liang's guidance, in order to expand the living space of the children of Yan and Huang, and no longer bear poverty. Violence, the suffering of aggression. I am eager for Mr. Liang to make a plan for the prosperity and strength of the Haitang Kingdom.
This welcome manuscript is a real Li Guang's original, unlike the usual ghostwriting by secretaries. However, the words are straightforward, but they make the words clear.
Liang Shuming has political ideals. In 31 years, he and Liang Zhonghua and others founded the "Shandong Rural Construction Research Institute" in Zouping, serving as the director and dean of the research department, advocating the rural construction movement. Moreover, together with others, it has become a Wanxi autonomy, although this autonomous body has now undergone a change of power and has little to do with Liang Shuming, but it still exists and has a certain influence.
The literati also had an ideal "country", and the rural construction movement was Liang Shuming's ideal practice.
In his welcome speech, Li Guang's temptation was actually not small. A country can accept your ideals, which is definitely a great opportunity for a person, especially someone like Liang Shuming.
Moreover, Li Guang's temptation is not empty words, but substantial: the dean of the Haitang State Society-Society-Science-Study-Research Institute.
Readers understand, there is no need to explain, what is the concept of this institution in the republic, how important, you understand.
Liang Shuming also understands.
Whether you can stay in the end or not, you have to wait patiently for Mr. Liang to inspect, and also wait for Premier Yuan, the inviter, to return to China.
However, Li Guang is confident in this. As for how to get Liang Shuming to help the Tang Dynasty come up with a set of theories that combine Chinese tradition, Confucianism, democracy, capitalism and other ideas, it depends on how Premier Yuan operates.
Li Guang has a strange demand for this, this theory must have room for development, must be able to renew itself, and cannot be an article for the ages. It's like computer programming, deliberately leaving bugs.
It is strange to say that Li Guang, a modern man who grew up at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, has experienced so much that he has doubts about the social model of human beings, whether it is a republic or capital.
In short, he does not think that capitalism, or communism, or feudalism, is absolutely right or absolutely wrong. Of course, Li Guang doesn't know what the longer-term future looks like. His true ideal is for society to have the ability to renew itself, to repair itself, to explore itself.
Many years later, Li Guang laughed at himself: In fact, there is no need to deliberately leave bugs, no one can predict the future, and no theory can guide eternity.
As long as the people have the right to speak, even if there are detours, society will always go on the right path. He's just messing around. (To be continued......)
