The meeting between Zhao Jiaren and the generals ended temporarily, and those generals who had decided to leave or continue to stay in the army gathered around to talk to Zhao Jiaren, and nearly half of the other generals who had adopted the procrastination trick wanted to try to stay, but they still chose to leave.

For these guys, Zhao Jiaren can only turn a blind eye for the time being. Doctors are a very materialistic subject, and even in religious countries like Greater America, the proportion of doctors who believe in God is also among the lowest percentages of believers. The texts of the Cross religion say that God created human beings in His image, and the doctors of the Orthodox really can't find any proof of this.

After the development of science entered the stage of genetic biology, the so-called secrets of the human body gradually came to a more scientific explanation, as long as there is relevant biological knowledge, it will basically agree that the human body is the result of the patchwork of parts of various stages of the evolution of life on earth over billions of years.

For example, the eight-pack abs, which are considered to be physically strong, are actually a certain fish trait, and many other mammals have taken other evolutionary routes and have not inherited this tissue.

But in such a materialistic field, psychology is generally considered to be more idealistic. Therefore, in psychology, there is also a distinction between materialism and idealism. For example, from a materialistic point of view, anger is based on the flesh. If human beings only have a brain, it is impossible to generate any angry emotions.

Zhao Jiaren himself believes that he is a materialist, he is not angry at this time, but is only slightly distracted, hoping that these guys will not play with fire themselves. Now that the army is a bit warlord-leaning, Zhao Jiaren doesn't mind using more drastic means to solve the problem.

After agreeing on a detailed discussion with the generals who had made the decision, Zhao Jiaren went back to his residence. When they arrived at the door, the guard hurriedly came up to report: "Report to the official's family, Major Zhao Qian is waiting for you." ”

Zhao Jiaren went directly into the communication room and saw Zhao Qian writing on the table. Seeing Zhao Jiaren coming, Zhao Qian said: "Dad, I wrote a speech for grassroots commanders and fighters, you can correct it." ”

The son was finally able not to be swayed by emotions, but to do what he could at this time, which made Zhao Jiaren very happy. He returned to the main room where he lived, moved his chair to a bright place, and began to read the draft. After reading it, Zhao Jiaren didn't speak for a while. Until I heard Zhao Qian ask: "Is it outrageously wrong?" ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "When teachers teach students, they will talk about writing articles with a central idea. That's because children have weak logical skills, and the school doesn't want them to be completely framed by simple logic that lacks a basis in reality at a young age. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but smile a little, "Of course, the school doesn't have the financial resources to give children real logic from an early age." I guess that's the root cause. ”

Zhao Qian couldn't understand his father's whimsical thoughts, so he hurriedly asked: "Where is the logical problem with what I wrote?" ”

"The logic you wrote in the article is a bit religious. You said that as long as you follow the system, you will have a happy future. This is the way religion uses to fool the masses, and that is to respond to requests. Zhao Jiaren handed the speech to Zhao Qian as he spoke.

Zhao Qian was stunned, he picked up the speech and read it again. Some fathers pointed out problems, and Zhao Qian saw that these were true this time. In his draft, he told the officers and soldiers that as long as they obeyed orders and listened to commands, happiness after retirement would fall from the sky. I didn't expect to write such a thing, and Zhao Qian's face turned red.

However, Zhao Qian was not deterred by this feeling, he blushed and continued to ask, "Is there a way to modify it?" ”

"Tell the truth, especially if you can understand the truth at the grassroots level." Zhao Jiaren was quite satisfied with his son's performance. Failure to achieve the purpose is a very common thing for anyone. It's also common to run away when you have a problem. The real winners are not necessarily more capable than the losers, but the real winners are the ones who can generate the motivation to overwhelm the shame, anxiety, and withdrawal.

If you don't advance, you will retreat. When those who are more sensitive and subservient to the flesh retreat, those who are more likely to have the urge to move forward, or human beings whose brain circuits can form a concept of persistence, struggle to move forward. Between one advance and one retreat, winning or losing is not known.

Xunzi, the great Chinese naïve materialist and the last master of the pre-Qin period, has a very subtle description of this.

The soil is a mountain, and the wind and rain are prosperous; The water becomes an abyss, and the dragon is born; Accumulate goodness into virtue, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared. Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. Qi Ji jumps, can't take ten steps; Ten horses, the merit is relentless. Perseverance, rotten wood does not break; Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. The worm has no claws and teeth, the muscles and bones are strong, the upper food is the soil, the lower drink the yellow spring, and the heart is also the same. The crab is six kneeling and two claws, and there is no one who can be sustained in the cave of the non-snake eel, and he is also restless

"Zhao Qian, you must be very clear about water conservancy, and you know better than me what difficulties you have to face in farming. There is a lot of rain, and the crops are going to be bad. If it doesn't rain, the crops will be bad. It's not raining too much, but it's not raining at the right time, and the crops are still bad. Most of the soldiers probably go to the farm after they retire, and this has a big impact on them. And the water conservancy profession has its value because of these unbalanced floods and droughts. ”

Zhao Qian asked, "But when I talk about this, everyone doesn't understand." If you understand, after listening to it, you will feel the same as if you didn't say it. ”

"Why do they think you're the same as you didn't say?"

"Because it's useless to say it...... I see. Zhao Qian felt that this logic seemed to be right, "Is it because I didn't come up with a solution to the problem?" ”

"Religion can deceive people, that is, tell people that it is useless for you to think of any way anyway, and you will not understand it even if you think about it. Then don't think about it, follow me to pray to God and worship Buddha, and sincerity is spiritual. Do you really think everyone is a fool? There are probably two kinds of people who believe in God, the first is that they are really desperate, and the other is that their knowledge and ability have reached the limit of their physical and mental power, so they give up. As an aside, I have tried to improve your ability to resist pressure since I was a child, just hoping that you can last longer and move forward a little more. Although we don't know how long that little bit will last, as long as we walk on the road of materialism and persist a little more, the chance of success will be a little greater. ”

After Zhao Jiaren finished speaking, he looked at his son's expression. Looking at Zhao Qian's thoughtful appearance, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Materialists need a healthy body and a healthy mind, or a nervous thinking system formed by experience. The acquired system needs experience, and after a lot of experience has been precipitated, many things can be understood. This is also the nasty situation that you face when you want to educate a materialist.

When a person becomes a materialist, he understands. If not, it's hard to understand. Because human beings themselves are a material being, a person relies on the body to perceive the world, and the body in turn has to act and even dominate the mind. Zhao Jiaren has seen a lot of addicts, and the addicts who can go to see a psychiatrist are not poor. The poor have not had the opportunity to understand and learn to construct their own ideas, the wealthier addicts, who use drugs such as cocaine in order to suppress the pain they feel in the flesh. But their logic is a fallacy in Zhao Jiaren's view, using drugs to suppress the pain of the body, isn't it controlled by the body?

Human beings have to find a way to coexist with physical reactions. And traditional psychology, which is based on idealism, has no more reasonable explanation. On the contrary, the materialist Xunzi two thousand years ago said that for desire, it is necessary to 'raise'. Zhao Jiaren read Xunzi's article and had a very high respect for materialists. In the same way, he felt that this was very difficult, but it was very easy.

Zhao Qian didn't have the knowledge of his father, so he naturally didn't know what kind of thinking was active behind his father's thoughtful look. He just felt a little confused, and when his basic logic was overturned, all kinds of thoughts became turbulent, like a flood that opened the floodgates.

In the end, he chose to give up his train of thought and asked his father, "Then what logic should I use to tell everyone?" ”

The son gave up his own train of thought, and Zhao Jiaren felt that maybe it was an opportunity to teach something of his own, so he asked, "Let's put this back first." I ask you now, do you still remember what I said earlier about the modern nation-state theory? ”

"Hmm...... Is it the state power that has obligations to the people? Zhao Qian asked tentatively.

Zhao Jiaren's eyes lit up, he didn't expect his son to really understand one of the cores of the modern nation-state system. At least an impression. With anticipation, Zhao Jiaren asked, "Why did you think of this?" ”

"Dad, the people can't solve the problem by themselves, or the power of a family, or even the power of a village and a township." Zhao Qian didn't think there was anything strange about this, hundreds of thousands of technicians and laborers were working the water conservancy construction site, and he knew this very well after several years of water conservancy.

"Even with the population of Jiangning and the lack of rational organization and scientific and technological strength, there is no way to solve the water conservancy problem in the Qinhuai River Basin. At this time, it must be the imperial court that must come forward. But why did the court come forward, because Dad, you are an official. I'm thinking about these things these days, and I realize that you've been running the country according to the modern nation-state for a long time. Why are you so diligent, it's not that you're playing some court tricks, nor is it the emperor's scheming. It's that you feel that you have an obligation to the country and to the people, so you have to do it. The people didn't know why, but in the end they benefited from the projects and policies, and of course they were willing to be loyal to the country. Even I understand a little why you never forgive barbarians. In the modern nation-state, Huaxia is the ontology of the Great Song Dynasty, and you have an obligation to the Chinese nation, so based on this obligation, you have to destroy the enemies of Huaxia. My mother said that you have no personal enemies, and I understand why my mother said that. ”

"Huh! Ha ha! Zhao Jiaren couldn't help laughing. The mood is indescribably joyful. Over the years, many people felt that Zhao Jiaren's methods of educating the prince were too indulgent, so that Zhao Qian looked like an ordinary mortal. But Zhao Jiaren doesn't think so, someone is indeed like that person, who became a materialist at a young age. It depends on talent. Physical and acquired experiences are indispensable.

But his son was originally a mortal, and it was wrong to force him to follow the path of those geniuses. Someone said that don't show the biographies of heroes and great people to children. That's for good normal people to learn from those who aren't.

Now Zhao Qian, a normal person, finally understands this, because as long as normal people can be allowed to follow the normal path, let them grow up in a family with normal emotions since they were young, and teach them how to learn and how to look at problems from a materialist perspective. There is no way to see immediate results, and when they participate in the work, see the world and experience difficulties, and finally they will take the initiative or reluctantly go in the direction of materialism.

Seeing that his efforts had come to fruition at this time, Zhao Jiaren was extremely happy. But he couldn't help but think of his second son and daughter, the same education method, and the results of these two made Zhao Jiaren not so satisfied. Of course, this may also be that when Zhao Qian reached his teens, Zhao Jiaren was still a person who struggled desperately in the struggle for national salvation and power. But the second son and daughter, when they were not able to begin to understand society, Zhao Jiaren was already an official family.

The children of the official family are very different from the children of other people. The children of ordinary families do not naturally have the right to decide because they are themselves. The children of the official family naturally have all this. The human body is very honest, and whatever you have, the body accepts the fact that 'this is what I have', and then turns the fact into all sorts of non-brain memories.

Having something that doesn't provoke a reaction in the body. Only when it is lost, the pain of the body will be felt by the brain through various signals, and then there will be those words that 'I don't cherish when I have it, and I will regret it when I lose it', as well as the sighs and regrets of people who are sad because of these words.

But from a materialist point of view, if each person's body is always aware of what it has, it will be overwhelmed and self-destructive.
