Chapter 98: Wang Shuhui's Journey to the Countryside 2

86_86695Whether it is ancient or modern, they will feel a little uncomfortable when they see the scene of Wang Shuhui and Zhu Weiyan eating. Because the way two people get along at the dinner table is neither ancient nor modern.

You must know that in feudal society, when it comes to etiquette, it is often so strict that if there is a problem with the placement of a stool, several lives will be lost. As the only daughter of the county king, the most authentic royal relative of the aristocracy in the feudal society, Zhu Weiyan is completely unaware of etiquette. It's something that can't be helped.

According to the normal situation, Zhu Weiyan, who has been the county lord since birth, should be educated in strict feudal etiquette. But Zhu Youzi, as her father, has no title and no income, and the family is completely old-fashioned. The father and daughter basically lived hard with the help of Zhu Youzi's uncles. Zhu Youzi's father and daughter in this living situation, where do they still want to get etiquette issues.

There is no palace, and naturally there is no master in the palace who is responsible for teaching the rules of the clan to teach Zhu Weiyan feudal etiquette and clan rules. Zhu Weiyan, who just learned to read and write with a few uncles, only reads books by herself. Naturally, it was impossible for her to learn any etiquette and rules.

And Wang Shuhui is a modern person, and he is still from an orphan's background. In modern industrial society, the term "etiquette" has long since ceased to exist. Wang Shuhui himself is not even very good at getting along with modern people, you let him talk about feudal etiquette, even if he has read relevant materials and knows relevant knowledge, but can you expect him to care about that.

Wang Shuhui and Zhu Weiyan were very close to each other, sitting at the table and eating together. The amount of food is not large, and there are only three dishes, served on three white porcelain plates. One is vinegared cabbage, one is fish cake, and the other is braised pork. Vinegared cabbage and braised pork were taught to Zhu Weiyan by himself when Wang Shuhui had just crossed over. Fish cake is a local dish in Jingzhou, and Zhu Weiyan learned it from her third aunt.

Rice is a sanhe rice, which is steamed by mixing small rice dumplings (crushed corn), sorghum rice, and rice. As a modern person, Wang Shuhui doesn't like to eat rice that is just white rice. He believes that eating only white rice and white noodles is a very unhealthy eating habit. Zhu Weiyan has been nourished by Wang Shuhui with modern nutrients for more than a year. Therefore, in terms of diet, Wang Shuhui asked Zhu Weiyan to pay attention to the combination of coarse grains and fine grains. He was afraid that Zhu Weiyan, who was growing up, would lack vitamins.

People who have eaten with Wang Shuhui think that Wang Shizun is the kind of person who is extremely self-disciplined, hard and simple. He wears the same uniform as everyone else (the standard uniform of the Ba'anxing Army: cross-collar, false white gauze mid-shirt collar, gray cardigan semi-short tunk; wide belts; grey uniform trousers; high-waisted leather boots; helmet-style yarn cap). Most of the time I eat with everyone in the canteen (because Wang Shuhui often has to comment in the canteen). Even when the students are invited to dinner, there are only three or four dishes at most. The staple food has always been heterozygous rice.

What they don't know is that in Wang Shuhui's view, even if the people he came into contact with in the Ming Dynasty, the vast majority of them were homeless mining slaves at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty. However, their daily etiquette and habits were extremely cumbersome in his eyes. The clothes of the ancients were even more troublesome for him to wear. That's why he simplified a qiē etiquette to a military salute (which in the eyes of a few rare scholars such as Gu Guozhang and a few other scholars and revival-born members was a form of respect for the armed forces and an ambitious expression), and designed a kind of clothing that looked ancient on the outside, but was modern in terms of function and ease of wearing.

On the issue of eating, Wang Shuhui pays more attention to the health of diet from the perspective of modern people.

Wang Shuhui always felt that the changes he brought to the late Ming Dynasty were insignificant, but the impact of the late Ming Dynasty on himself was in all aspects. Let's take eating as an example, my original gobbling up and stormy eating style has slowed down a lot under Zhu Weiyan's deliberate suppression.

However, Wang Shuhui knew that Zhu Weiyan's deliberate influence on him at the dinner table was only this one. Other habits, such as liking to talk during meals, Zhu Weiyan does not interfere at all. Therefore, although Wang Shuhui slowed down the pace of eating, he also provided him with a good opportunity to speak at the dinner table.

"This year, agricultural construction has been carried out in all base villages. Whether it is high-quality seedlings or animal power used in cultivation; Whether it's a steam pump, or a sturdy white-iron farming implement. I've really invested a lot in agriculture this year. Several farms also use steam tractors and planting and harvesting machinery. ”

"The amount of food we receive from farmers is almost one-third of what the farm produces. I don't know the actual situation, but it's pretty good-looking. Wang Shuhui said to Zhu Weiyan casually.

Zhu Weiyan has a characteristic, in the dialogue with Wang Shuhui, as long as it involves specific work, she never interjects. So after listening to Wang Shuhui's words, she just gave a vague "um" as usual.

Wang Shuhui also knew Zhu Weiyan's habits, and he didn't look forward to Zhu Weiyan's answer, so he no longer thought about industrial problems in his head, but began to think about the situation in agriculture last year.

Wang Shuhui's main work in the late Ming Dynasty focused on three aspects.

The first is military construction. From the second half of 1619 to the beginning of 1620, after more than a year of hard work, Wang Shuhui finally established a regular army of more than 3,000 people and six infantry battalions. The training level of the troops can basically reach and exceed the level of the Beiyang Army in Yuan Shikai's era (the old Yuan's Beiyang Army, the physical fitness of the soldiers is definitely not as good as Wang Shuhui's Revival Army).

As long as rifles, artillery, Hale rockets, coffee mill machine guns, and other weapons that have been successfully trial-produced by the Jiangbei Arsenal can be mass-produced and equipped with the troops. Then, this force is currently the strongest armed force on the entire planet.

However, because of logistical supply problems. At the moment, this force does not have the ability to maneuver remotely. The actual transportation capacity of the Fuxing Society can only provide supplies for this force to conduct mobile operations in the Huguang area.

The second is industrial construction. In industrial construction, Wang Shuhui's main energy was spent on the construction of a small steel complex with a daily output of 50 tons of iron and 10 tons of steel per day. In addition to the steel industry, several small factories have been established in the fields of machining, coking, mining, brick making and cement.

Wang Shuhui actually believes that his efforts have not yielded corresponding results. More than 500 people died, and three or four batches of machinery and equipment that he got through the time and space gate were damaged, costing nearly 10 million yuan and more than 7,000 taels of silver. On the purchase of miners alone, he spent nearly 10,000 yuan to buy cotton cloth and rayon silk from modern times that were used to trade people.

But even so, in the past year or so, less than 300 basically qualified technicians with junior high school physical and chemical knowledge have not yet reached the level of modern vocational and technical schools; Less than 1,000 primary school education, skilled workers who have initially mastered the ability to operate on the machine; and more than 3,000 unprofessional workers who can't even understand the drawings, only know forty or fifty words, and often make mistakes in their work.

Wang Shuhui himself also paid a great price. Not only did he lose more than 30 pounds, but he also suffered several burns from Yan zhòng. A section of the little finger of the right hand was also smashed. There is also a light-colored scar on the face. He has returned to modern times several times for this purpose, and he also wears a prosthetic finger on his little finger.

It took so many lives, so much money, and my own body was disabled to get such an industrial scale at the level of towns and villages in remote areas of modern society. In this way, several factories still have accidents from time to time and drop chains.

Over the past year or so, Wang Shuhui does not know how much the professional level of the workers has improved, but the doctors of the medical department and the military doctors of the Fuxing Army have practiced frequently in the past year, and the current level can reach the level of the township clinics in modern society.

The third aspect is organizational construction. With the help of modern thinkers, Wang Shuhui established the Renaissance Association in the Renaissance Army, and comprehensively established the organizational model at all levels of the Renaissance Army. The basic model was established in which military operations were in charge of the staff department (staff system), the administration of troops was in charge of the political department (instructor system), and the command of combat was in charge of the military commander.

All the commanders and fighters in the Fuxing Army were all disciples of Wang Shuhui. Some of them were disciples of Wang Shuhui during his time in the teaching camp. Even if they were not from the teaching battalion, they were all from the military school established by Wang Shuhui later.

In terms of the organization of the Revival Society. Wang Shuhui established the Standing Committee of the Revival Society as the highest authority; The Military Committee, the Industrial Committee, the Agricultural Committee, and the Statistical Committee are the four professional leading bodies, which are under the leadership of the Standing Committee of the Renaissance Council; The Secretariat, the Intelligence Department, the Trade Department, the Police Department, the Medical Department, and other major departments are directly under the organizational model of the Standing Committee of the Renaissance Council.

At the first Standing Committee of the Renaissance Society, all the members of the Renaissance Association, who had passed the "highest examination" to become members of the Renaissance Association, elected the Renaissance Representative Committee, and Wang Shuhui elected the Standing Committee of the Renaissance Association from among the members of the Renaissance Association. The principal responsible persons of the specialized committees and departments shall be appointed by the Standing Committee of the Revival Association.

After more than half a year of selection and appointment, the basic organizational structure of the Revival Society was established. However, because of the ideological and theoretical level and practical work ability of the members of the Revival Society. The main leadership work must be done by Wang Shuhui. He is working hard to straighten out the organizational model of the entire revival association and cultivate the practical work ability of the first batch of leading cadres of the revival association.

However, from the current point of view, although the framework of the revival society has been established, the members of the revival society are only initially equipped with the ability to carry out orders. Both the level of awareness of the Renaissance Society's program and constitution and the application of the basic principles of democratic centralism. The members of the Renaissance Association, these leading cadres of the Renaissance Association who have reached the level of elementary school culture in modern society, who have reached the level of initial Chinese, basically do not have subjective initiative.

On the contrary, they were able to memorize the basic knowledge of dialectical materialism and historical materialism that Wang Shuhui taught them. However, it is still very unrealistic for them to implement these theories in their concrete work.

Therefore, Wang Shuhui is currently like a panacea, where there is a problem, he will go to it. He didn't feel like the leader of a political organization at all, but rather like an unlucky guy who took over a township enterprise that was on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, however, the work of the Revival Society has begun to get back on track. Wang Shuhui now feels that he can now go out and go into his sphere of influence to conduct a good investigation. Let's take a look at whether he, a traverser, has brought substantial changes to the Zhijiang area in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, he was also preparing to go to other non-Fuxing-controlled areas to investigate the actual situation of Chinese society in the late Ming Dynasty.

After eating, Wang Shuhui took out a copy of the document of the Revival Association Representative Committee, and selected the main members of the inspection team from the more than 100 members of the Revival Association Representative Committee.

Among them, there were four people who Wang Shuhui decided to focus on in his investigation.

They are: Lin Yuze, the director of the farm directly under the Renaissance Association. Tang Yafeng, deputy general political commissar of the Fuxing Army and chief instructor of the Fifth Infantry Battalion. Mr. Hu Kaifan, Director of the Trade Department of the Renaissance Society. and Zhu Weiyan's sixth uncle, who is only five years older than Zhu Weiyan and is just 22 years old this year, who took the initiative to join the Revival Association and passed the guò assessment, Liu Huailiu, a trade consultant
