After a long time, Queen Ma thought of a good entry point and said, "Mr. asked the women of Lujia Village to get rid of the bad habit of foot binding, and it seems that there are not many obstacles, what is the reason for this?" ”

"Isn't the reason simple?" Before Qin Yu could answer, the daughter-in-law preemptively answered, "Mr. is our great benefactor of Lujia Village, and all of us respect Mr. ”

"Therefore whatever the gentleman says, we will listen."

"Although the custom of foot binding has been around for a long time, Lujia Village is remote and the rules are not too strict, so everyone says that if you don't entangle, you won't wrap it."

"Uh-huh." Qin Yu nodded and said, "I've been in Lujia Village for a while, and everyone respects me. Moreover, my lectures, which lasted for a long time, also subtly changed the minds of the women, so they did not insist so much. ”

"And Lujia Village is relatively remote, even if you don't bind your feet, there are no outsiders to talk nonsense."

"I see." Queen Ma finally understood.

Qin Yu broke the women of Lujia Village and continued the bad habit of binding feet for thousands of years, and Emperor Zhu wanted to break the thousand-year-old dominance of Confucianism, although the degree of difficulty was different.

But there are some commonalities.

One of the reasons why Qin Yu broke the bad habit of foot binding and made it easy to implement was that the villagers trusted and respected him. So what he said was in Lujia Village, and he was full of words.

Respect is key.

And the emperor was born with a cow baby, and the world's scholars looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. felt that he was unlearned, unskilled, and unscrupulous, and relied on barbaric means to win the throne, which was not worthy of their respect.

When the emperor had just founded the Ming Dynasty, Yan Shenggong, who had descended from the world, was disdainful of him.

In the previous dynasty change, Yan Shenggong was the first to surrender to the enemy, and even before the new dynasty was established, he had already surrendered. Even the treatment of Meng Yuan, Liao, and Jin is the same.

But in the case of Emperor Zhu, an emperor who restored the Han family, he dragged on for a long time and refused to surrender.

In the end, the emperor had to make a holy decree, and Yan Shenggong was afraid, so he obediently returned to the Ming Dynasty.

The second reason is that Lujia Village is relatively remote and less bound by secular concepts. Lujia Village is too small and has a small population, and the emperor swept away Confucianism and faced the people of the world.

The third is that Qin Yu's thoughts have already imperceptibly influenced the villagers.

Subtlety is key.

The emperor is still too anxious! Queen Ma sighed in her heart that if the emperor let the Renaissance be implemented for a few more years, and then imperceptibly influence the world for a few more years, it would definitely be much easier to move Confucianism again at that time than today.

If you can wait for more than 100 years, it will be easier.

But it was clear that the emperor did not want to wait that long.

"Sir, what if, I mean, if you didn't let them bind their feet in the first place, most of them wouldn't want to, or even a group of them, stand up and resist?" Queen Ma asked again.

"Isn't it a great thing to ban foot binding?" Before Qin Yu could answer, the daughter-in-law interjected with an incredible face, she was a talkative woman and liked to talk. After getting used to the benefits of not binding feet, I felt that this rule was simply too good, and said: "It is convenient to work without foot binding, and it is easy to walk, and there are still people in the world who will object?" ”

"Actually, that's not the case." Qin Yu smiled and said to his daughter-in-law, "The Republic of China completely banned women's foot binding, and some women even stood up collectively to resist it, and even cried and grabbed the ground." ”

"The Qing Dynasty is dead, and people on the streets don't want to cut their braids."

"Others told them to cut it, and a large group of people rose up to resist."

"Is there still such a bad person in the world?" The daughter-in-law was shocked. Although she couldn't understand the latter sentence, she could understand the first sentence.

"There is no way, there is always a process to break an old thing and make people accept the new thing." Qin Yu said, "And this process is still very long and difficult. ”

"Tut-tut...... This is Qin Yu's voice teasing the dog, Lu Dali's family has a pastoral dog called 'Wangcai', white-faced and yellow-bodyed, very obedient, and very humane.

Qin Yu likes to tease it very much.

Putting a piece of meat on the fast son and trying to give it to eat, Wangcai whimpered in his mouth, and his saliva kept flowing out, but he just refused to eat the food on the fast son. It has to be thrown to the ground for it to eat.

"In the city, many people treat their pets as family members and don't dislike feeding them with their own fast children." Qin Yu said, "Only foreign dog breeds will eat the food on the owner's fast son." ”

"Our country dogs don't."

"Even when it sees other pets eating food from their owners, they will pounce on it and bite it."

"Look, I want to treat it like family, but it just won't." Qin Yu said, "Do you know why? ”

"Why?" The daughter-in-law asked first.

"Because Wangcai has learned Confucianism since he was a child." Qin Yu said. also guessed that the village chief's wife came to him this time, probably related to the fact that Lao Huang took the three of them to find himself for evaluation during the day.

And the topic they discussed was the art of fooling the people and Confucianism.

"You said that Wangcai learned Confucianism from an early age?" The daughter-in-law heard the coke, "But it's a dog, can a dog read and read?" Can it understand people? Will it read the Four Books and the Five Classics? ”

"Huh." Qin Yu smiled slightly, but didn't pay attention, she could only understand the superficial meaning of her words.

"That's too ...... Exaggerated, right? Queen Ma muttered.

"Not an exaggeration." Qin Yu said, "Confucianism is extremely particular about respect and humility, and the concept of monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons is extremely strict. Therefore, when the people raise dogs, they will also instill in them the concept of hierarchy of masters and slaves. ”

"For example, if they dare to eat something from their master's fast son, they will beat them hard. Use all kinds of methods to let them know who is the master and who is the slave, and there is a hierarchical difference between the master and the slave, just like the father and the son. ”

Over time, the idea of hierarchy is carved into their bones. Animals are adaptive, and their genes are changed as a result. ”

"Pastoral dogs before the rise of Confucianism did not possess this quality, because they were domesticated from East Asian wolves."

"Confucianism has tamed dogs with a sense of hierarchy."

"As a result, the breed of Chinese pastoral dog is unique in the world."

Queen Ma's heart trembled when she heard this, and she finally understood why Qin Yu said that Confucianism was a thousand-year-old cancer in China. Because of this thought, even the dog's genes can be changed.

"Unconditional obedience to the master is an excellent quality for dogs, because humans domesticated it in the first place to serve humans." Qin Yu said.

"But if a thought domesticates a person like this, then that thought is sinful, and the sin is in the future."

"Sir, I see." Queen Ma Road.
