"Your Majesty, the minister thought that someone had to be in charge of this matter. And this matter should be sooner rather than later, because once Western culture invaded, and our Chinese civilization not only did not progress during the period of Manchu rule, but retreated rapidly. Therefore, under such circumstances, many people will lose confidence in our Chinese civilization. On the contrary, they began to worship foreign countries and even deny everything in China. To rescue Chinese culture, sooner rather than later, it must be done as soon as possible. We must show the essence of our Chinese culture and let our people see it. Otherwise, once the people see that the gap between China and the West is getting bigger and bigger, there may be some people who will completely deny our Chinese culture, which will definitely be very unfavorable to us. And we must let the people know that our Chinese culture is not lagging behind the West, and there are many things that are ahead of the West. Ordinary people have poor insight and are easily deceived by some people with ulterior motives. Therefore, we must let someone take charge of this matter, and we must erect our true Chinese civilization as soon as possible. ”

When Wang Guorui heard this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, because in the future, he would not only have to grasp the economy and industry, but also develop spiritual civilization. In the later era of Wang Guorui, when it first opened, it was claimed that the economy was in charge, and everything had to give way to the economy. In the end, however, it was found that economic development had gone up, but the ideological and moral aspects had not completely kept up. So at that time, I once again remembered to grasp spiritual civilization, but at that time it was already damaged. Wang Guorui did not mean to blame the leaders of later generations, after all, it is impossible for anyone to predict the future, and even any state official will inevitably make mistakes when implementing policies. Mistakes are not terrible, the key is how to learn from experience, and then avoid future mistakes.

And since Wang Guorui has experienced this situation in the later life, he naturally can't make mistakes again. Therefore, it is also necessary to grasp the correct orientation of spiritual civilization values, and in this process, the essence of traditional culture must be strengthened in propaganda and guidance. Chinese values and Western values cannot be identical, after all, the cultural traditions of the two are completely different. How can you copy it all? The ancients said that the south orange and the north orange, and the practice of Lao Maozi is not also to be improved according to local conditions in China?

Therefore, in order to grasp spiritual civilization, it is necessary to have special people in charge. In particular, we will review those traditional cultural customs, and then those traditional classics, and remove the dross as much as possible. Then sort out the parts of the essence and then proceed to make them glow again.

"Shi Maozhou, who do you say is in charge of this matter?" Wang Guorui asked.

Shi Maozhou replied: "Empress Kang is in charge!" Empress Kang is not only good at classical culture, but also has a deep family history. And they are also able to learn both Chinese and Western, and can be familiar with classical and modern, so that they can judge well what things meet the needs of the new era, and her identity is also enough, and she is completely competent. ”

Shi Maozhou's words are also appropriate, because there must be a foundation in charge of this traditional cultural aspect. Not only must you be familiar with the traditional culture, but you must also be exposed to the culture of the new era, so that you can judge what is needed and what is not the dross that must be removed. Of course, the identity of the person in charge is also an important issue, and if there is no certain identity to be responsible for such an important thing, it will definitely not work. Kang Tongwei is not only one of the queens, but also familiar with other cultural circles and what she has learned.

It's not impossible to keep her accountable in this way. There is also no lack of identity and cultural competence. In addition, she represents Wang Guorui's royal family, so she must have a suitable identity. It can even be promoted on behalf of the royal family, which can help increase the status of the royal family.

In addition, the title of this queen can also suppress some opposition, especially the opposition of some corrupt people. If it is a "courtier" who is in charge, those corrupt people can start spraying directly without any scruples, and even any abusive voices can be heard. But if a "queen" is put in charge, will those corrupt people still dare to scold the emperor and empress? Do they dare to scold? These rotten people would never dare to scold the queen. They are a monarch and a minister who submits to his father and son, if he dares to scold the queen, isn't that just a slap in the mouth?

Therefore, when the time comes, it is completely possible to block the mouths of many people and let the screening and elimination of this culture continue.

"Tongwei, are you willing to be responsible?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is willing!" Kang Tongwei replied.

Wang Guorui thought for a moment. Then he said: "Then we will set up a civilization office, which is responsible for the collection and screening of our traditional Chinese civilization, and then after auditing, we can eliminate some of the dross, and then we can carry forward the essence." ”

"The concubine is commanded!" Kang Tongwei asked.

Wang Guorui said again: "Set up a spiritual civilization inspector's office again, and you will be in charge of it." It supervises the improvement of feudal remnants throughout the country, and supervises local officials to prepare for the change of customs in the new era. If those officials do not do a good job in changing customs and are unable to get rid of those outdated and bad habits, but allow those feudal and old customs to continue to spread, they will all be dismissed. If you do not do well in the work of changing customs, it will be included in the assessment and postponed. If the change of customs is done well, then under the same conditions, it has the right to be promoted first. The Spiritual Civilization Supervision Office specializes in supervising the affairs of local officials in this regard, and it should be grasped as an important matter. ”

"In particular, the first thing is that we must put an end to the stereotype of binding your little feet that has lasted for countless years. It must be eliminated, and it must not be retained. If parents and elders dare to continue to force their daughters to bind their little feet, they will be detained for 15 days for the first time and for one month for the second time. Thirdly, the sentence may be imprisonment and deprivation of custody of the child. And the first thing to do is to put an end to this thing of wrapping small feet.

If you want to talk about this feudal dross, the most unbearable thing for him is the little foot, which makes Wang Guorui shudder. Especially when I saw those so-called little feet on the Internet in later generations, the disgusting one made Wang Guorui almost vomit. Fortunately, none of his women have small feet, Zheng Hong is a person from the Heaven and Earth Society, and there is no habit of wrapping small feet in the Heaven and Earth Society. And Chen Lin is an ethnic minority, so naturally she doesn't have this habit. Liu Xue is an overseas Chinese, and she doesn't have this broken habit. And Kang Tongwei was lucky, Kang Youwei was against binding her little feet back then, so she escaped. And this matter, later generations of middle school textbooks also used small font to write similar words. As for other Western women, not to mention, plus those Korean concubines, they don't have their little feet.

"The concubine is ordered, and she must take the elimination of foot binding as the top priority to remove the dross!" Kang Tongwei replied.

Kang Tongwei heard this little foot, and her heart was full of palpitations, if it wasn't for Kang Youwei who withstood the pressure of those families and avoided the fate of her little feet, otherwise she might be the same as other women. If you had been bound back then, would you be where you are today? Will you be able to learn about foreign cultures and then follow Wang Guorui again? Can you still be a queen? This is all conceivable. So now that she heard that Wang Guorui hated wrapping her little feet, she immediately had to do this thing well.

And Wang Guorui actually has a very important idea of putting an end to foot binding, that is, in fact, women are also laborers! Those men who were mentally emasculated in ancient times, who were afraid of their own women, were afraid that their women would go out and show themselves and then cuckold themselves, but they actually thought of this method to confine women to the home. After this kind of foot binding, they are all disabled people, and they can't leave home too far at all, they can only live at home, and can't go out to work and do things. This is to maintain the so-called traditional thinking of male and female protagonists.

Originally, this kind of thinking is understandable, it belongs to the ancient gender division of labor, and has its human biology and philosophical truth. But at the cost of mutilating the bodies of female compatriots, Wang Guorui didn't dare to agree. What's more, when this kind of thing enters a new era in the future, it will inevitably become less and less. In the future, technology has become more and more advanced, and the situation in the past that women were weak and could not take on too many heavy tasks has also changed greatly. At that time, those women will not be able to participate in the work, and it can even be said that they will be a labor force!

This labor force can be estimated, if once a woman is bound to her small feet, it means that she will inevitably not be able to go out to work, which means that the country not only loses a labor force, but also needs another person to spend money to support her. Although this person is her husband, maybe his husband is willing to support her, but does this make sense? In this way, social resources are consumed. This is not as simple as simple subtraction, but the result of the trade-off.

If a woman can not be bound to her feet, then it is equivalent to liberating a labor force, and then reducing a social burden. Even if the woman can earn money, the economic and social benefits are very great. One less woman wraps her feet, which does not increase a person's economic strength, but not only represents saving the cost of supporting her, but also being able to feed more people through labor.

This is no longer a simple cultural stereotype, but has great economic benefits. Therefore, whether it is to break the so-called stereotypes and bad habits, or to increase the social labor force, the abolition of small feet must be done as soon as possible. One less person with small feet can increase the economic benefits of the country and reduce the burden on the country. (To be continued.) )
