Chapter 218: Ma Xianglin's Transformation 1
     Material first, consciousness second. [No pop-ups] This truth is basically known to modern people. After all, this is the most basic point of view of materialist theory.
    If we look at the ideology of feudal society from a materialist perspective, we can conclude that not all the ancient Chinese were very deeply rooted in respecting the ideology of Confucianism. Ancient people respected the ideology of Confucianism and took benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith as their own values, which does not mean that the ancients took the initiative to choose such an ideology, but because the Confucian ideology was consistent with the level of productivity of the ancient agricultural society.
From the perspective of materialism, we can know that once a new productive force appears, once the old relations of production do not conform to the new productive forces, then as long as there are production relations that conform to the new level of development of the productive forces and the ideology that bears these relations of production appear, all people who understand the world from the perspective of seeking truth from facts will take the initiative to identify with and accept this ideology that carries the new relations of production.
     Ma Xianglin, 26, is one such person.
    Since 1621, the Revival Society has begun to provide comprehensive assistance to the Shizhu Tusi area. By 1625, the entire Seoul region's agriculture, aquaculture, commerce, and industry were modernized under the influence of the Fuxing Society.
    Under the impetus of the fertilizer industry of the modern improved breed and the Fuxing Association, the Shizhu area has not only achieved comprehensive self-sufficiency in grain, and can basically ensure that it can obtain a high-yield harvest every year, but also the people of the entire Shizhu area have developed the long-haired rabbit breeding industry in an all-round way with the help of the technical personnel of the Fuxing Association.
    Because the Fuxing Society carried out targeted purchase of rabbit fur in the Shizhu area in the woolen textile factory in Jingzhou, the people in the entire Shizhu area formed a system of close integration of raw materials and manufacturers in the economy with the Fuxing Association. It can be said that by 1625, the people in the Shizhu area could not eat enough, and they had to rely on the high-quality seeds provided by the Revival Society every year. The annual income of the people in the Shizhu area depends on the acquisition of the Fuxing Woolen Textile Factory.
    Whether it is in agricultural production, which is related to life and death, or in terms of breeding income related to the rich and poor, nearly 50,000 people in the Shizhu area all rely on the Fuxing Association. Objectively speaking, the Revival Society has integrated the people of the entire Shizhu region into its own system.
    Qin Liangyu, as the current supreme ruler of the Shizhu Xuanfu Division, has a certain vigilance in her heart about this situation. However, as a person with a basic conscience, Qin Liangyu couldn't bear to expel the forces of the Revival Society from the Shizhu area because of his own thoughts.
    After all, regardless of whether the Fuxing Association kidnapped the entire Shizhu Tusi people through economic means, but objectively, the people of Shizhu have not lived a good life for thousands of years, and it was indeed achieved with the help of the Fuxing Association.
    In fact, Qin Liangyu also knew that he really came forward to oppose it. is that he really wants to expel the forces of the Revival Society from the Shizhu area, even if the people in the Shizhu area agree, the upper echelons of the Shizhu Tusi will not agree.
    As the official Xuanfu envoy of the Shizhu Xuanfu Division, his son Ma Xianglin is the leader of the Fuxing Society, the son-in-law of the King of Zhijiang County, and the disciple of Wang Shuhui, the commander of Jingzhou Wei. His elder brother and younger brother Qin Bangping and Qin Minping still owe Wang Shuhui for saving their lives.
     More importantly, all the equipment, weapons, and food supplies of the white pole soldiers under his command are basically provided by Wang Shuhui's revival association. All the salaries of the 5,000 white pole soldiers came from the profits of the factories that the Revival Society helped to found. It was his own family, the Qin family in Zhongzhou, who also opened several textile factories, silk reeling factories and glass factories with the support of Wang Shuhui's revival association.
    Qin Liangyu didn't feel much when he led soldiers to fight in Sichuan, Guizhou and other places two years ago. But when she returned to Shizhu and her hometown of Chungju, she found that she had been tightly surrounded by the Revival Society. What's even worse is that the 500 soldiers and nearly 200 medical soldiers sent by Wang Shuhui to fight in the white pole soldiers have already formed a deep friendship and life-and-death friendship on the battlefield with the white pole soldiers.
    In just a few years, Qin Liangyu found that whether it was emotionally or materially, the revival would be like a fine and solid spider web, firmly webting the entire Shizhu area and the white pole soldiers in the web.
     The nearly 700 officers and soldiers under Wang Shuhui are not only comrades-in-arms of the white pole soldiers, but also because they have been teaching everyone culture in the white pole soldiers all year round, solving problems for everyone, and even directly saving everyone's lives, making Qin Liangyu's strong army under the world from a native soldier in a remote place to a talented soldier who was praised by the people and the government in Guizhou and Sichuan.
    In more than two years, the white pole soldiers used firearms from only one-tenth of the troops (Ma Xianglin's troops) to the entire 5,000 white pole soldiers used firearms (the lightning gun exclusively supplied by the Renaissance Society, that is, the Enfield M1853 copied by the Renaissance Society Arsenal). The entire force was transformed under the guidance of the soldiers and officers of the Renaissance Battalion.
    These hundreds of soldiers and officers of the Revival Society not only taught the white pole soldiers new ways of fighting, but also taught these soldiers basic cultural knowledge and simple ideology. These officers and soldiers of the Revival Society are not only comrades-in-arms of the White Pole Soldiers, but also teachers of the White Pole Soldiers.
    When Qin Liangyu returned to the stone pillar after completing the southwest counterinsurgency mission cleanly, she found that the poor and barren stone pillar a few years ago had changed greatly. Under the leadership and help of the Renaissance Society, not only the flat land in the entire Shizhu area was transformed into a contiguous and well-developed fertile land, but also the mountainous areas that were originally unsuitable for cultivation were also turned into terraced fields.
    The people in the Shizhu area have changed from making a living by half-farming and half-hunting in the past to planting potatoes, raising silkworms and rabbits, and working in factories. What Qin Liangyu didn't expect was that a large school and a hospital with an excellent reputation had been established in the Shizhu area.
    When the soldiers returned home after two years of fierce life-and-death battles, the most they heard was their family's praise for the revival and the old man. And Qin Bangping and Qin Minping, who returned to their hometown in Zhongzhou, were also full of praise for the nephew of the Wang family.
    Whether it is the Ma family and the Qin family as the rulers of the stone pillar, or the common people as the ruled stone pillars, they are full of love for the revival society. In the final analysis, it is the Fuxing Society that has comprehensively increased the level of local productivity and prospered the local economy by developing production. After all, in the past days, the stone pillar Tusi in a deserted place, both the people and the rulers had a very difficult time.
    Qin Liangyu can talk about things like everyone being loyal to the imperial court. However, both the upper and lower classes in the Shizhu area have reaped tangible benefits with the help of the Revival Society. Compared with the high and distant court that has never given itself any help, it is obvious that revival is more worthy of everyone's support in every aspect.
    Qin Liangyu herself is loyal to the imperial court, and she naturally hopes that her people and her family will also be loyal to the imperial court. Therefore, even though he knew that it might cause conflict, Qin Liangyu was still ready to break with the Fuxing Society.
    However, what Qin Liangyu didn't expect was that just in the internal discussion of his family, his ideas did not gain anyone's support. Ma Xianglin, his son who has always been loyal and honest, actually had a conflict with himself for the first time.
