Chapter 293: Soldiers and Clans
Empathy is a very interesting thing, who you have empathy for, basically marks who you are, if you say that in terms of identity, maybe these soldiers from the Central Plains, for a farmer to be killed by people from the same village has long been commonplace, but, as long as it changes a little.
"Brother don't say much, something big is happening now! There was a young man who participated in the revolution in Shanhaiguan back then, and later went to the northeast to open up wasteland, but the people in the village were jealous that he made money and turned over, and was beaten to death by the landlord. ”
Li Xiangqian did use some small skills, of course, not to lie, but the Spring and Autumn penmanship, the victim, it seems that he really participated in the revolutionary work on the battlefield as an auxiliary man, and later because of his timidity, he went back to the village, but he was also deeply impressed by the generosity of the presbyterian church, so he ran, when he entered Liaodong, he continued to be a man, and since then he has stayed in that kind of land, after this year's harvest, he hurried over to pick up the old lady to enjoy the blessings.
Who would have thought that when such a thing happened, just listening to the general details, you will know that her mother must have paid a lot of things in it, and then as long as this kind of sacrifice is exaggerated, it is enough to provoke the troops who are urgently dispatched.
The military should stay away from politics and keep a voice, but this does not mean that the soldiers do not have their own emotions, but are more intense, of course, Li Xiangqian does not feel at ease about this.
"Our current situation is like building a gorgeous palace on the beach, which can be finished in every minute, and it is a shame to send garrisons to deal with a group of powerful people."
Chen Xiaoshui comforted: "This is also something that can't be helped, there are too many villages, and there are too few people who can use it with confidence, isn't this something we have known for a long time." ”
"How difficult is it to reform this thing, arguably, the hardest thing on earth, why? The larger and more complex the country, the more complex the various internal entanglements, in the end you have me, I have you, reform, in fact, is just a reshuffle, if there is no external force to promote, how many capitalists like to use their funds to upgrade equipment? ”
Li Xiangqian said slowly: "In the final analysis, vested interests are stubborn and conservative, and they will come to die together with the whole country, you know, in China, a watermelon is worth one or twenty yuan, which is already a black heart, but in Japan, three hundred and five hundred is not a thing, why?" Because the Japanese peasants are not peasants, but powerful interest groups, the problem also comes back, and the landlord is also a human being, and all of a sudden, you tell him that his land is worthless all of a sudden, and soon, a large amount of grain sold from afar will turn the land accumulated in his time into a bubble, that reaction. ”
Chen Xiaoshui said: "There are always a few smart people who can see and understand the changes in the world, and know that the original set will not work." ”
Li Xiangqian shook his head and said: "Do you think that foreign reclamation, China has not played in the past thousands of years, the fundamental reason is just the difficulty of development, the cost of development, and the difficulty of transporting those grains, the transportation cost is almost several times that of the grain itself, in addition to the political needs that must be transported to the capital to ensure the stability of the regime, the actual economic demand is not large, so the resistance to this situation is economically logical, but we are the ones who change everything, the future railway will be repaired, in minutes, Rice from Kita Kura's home can be shipped to your home cheaper than the grain you grow at home. ”
Chen Xiaoshui said: "I understand, it still takes time to accumulate." ”
Li Xiangqian said: "So, I am not here to seek understanding. ”
Chen Xiaoshui looked at it and said, "Didn't the woman rebound, you can withstand the pillow wind, it's amazing, brother." ”
Li Xiangqian smiled slightly, Lu Yun's matter was very complicated, it was his uncle's rebellious psychology because he was not good to him, so he said: "By the way, let's talk about the next topic, I also know some problems, the reason why this young man is so desperate to pull people is the previous policy, one person to pull Liaodong, it is one or two silver, naturally it is a fate, but in this way, I doubt that it will become a head puller, and it also lacks real core support." ”
Chen Xiaoshui said: "I don't understand anything else, but this is really radical. ”
Li Xiangqian thought for a while and said: "This matter is a big deal, but you can wait, you know, the countryside is a stagnant water that has been silted up for thousands of years, the patriarchs can take the clansmen, the widows of the dead men can be sold directly, the property is confiscated, and the profits are shared. ”
Chen Xiaoshui said: "Then you plan to change the policy? ”
"The policy will not change, it will never change, but the method can change, this is just a psychology, you know, it's like a store on the street, many times you won't pay attention, but if you cover it with a curtain, hang a sign that you can't peek at will, then there will be more people who want to peek."
"Haha, it's so cheap."
"In the same way, the country wants you to go, you don't go, you have to go one day, you will be itchy to find out that it is a good opportunity, but it is interesting, as for the clan power, in fact, it is also easy to break, as long as the economy is independent, then young people are naturally disgusted with the old-fashioned kind of opening ancestral halls and killing people."
Chen Xiaoshui said: "Uh-huh. ”
Li Xiangqian said, "Wait a minute, do you want to interrogate me personally?" It's a pity that this village has to be passively skilled, well, but the internal activity patterns of the clan, I think we can collect some. ”
Chen Xiaoshui said: "I feel that the clan is actually a mutual aid organization relying on bloodline. ”
Li Xiangqian said: "This can't be said to be too wrong, it belongs to the product of a specific environment, you know, in this era, there is no pension, no pension, everything depends on farmland, even if you are an official of the dynasty, you are popular, don't you have to leave a way back, and you have to go back to your hometown for burial in the future, and you must not take care of your relatives and township party?" ”
In front of them, on a large playground, there had been a public trial before, of course, the object of the previous public trial was to deal with criminal organizations such as underworld forces, all kinds of gambling, and black eating during the crackdown period, and only when there were not many times, they would impact the clan.
This was the first time that the Council of Elders had discovered the stubbornness and horror of the clans.
"You feel wronged?"
Li Xiangqian looked at a young man from the Xu family, this was identified by the bolt, the person who led the attack on him, as for what happened after he fainted, now he can only ask a little bit, and he already knows that two of the three people who were going to bury the bolt and his mother were actually killed by that mother!
Legend has it that a mother can lift a car in an emergency to save the baby under the car, and the potential of humanity is really terrifying.
But with such a comparison, the Xu family, who caused such a tragedy, was naturally even more angry.
"Uncle, master, we don't dare anymore, we don't know that the bolt is so powerful, we shouldn't provoke him."
Li Xiangqian looked at him coldly, suddenly smiled, and said, "With your intentions, ordinary people can kill them casually?" ”
The man was speechless for a while, and said: "He is from our village, if he really does evil, we will clean it up, and it will also be for the government to eliminate the harm, we are loyal to the government, and there are people in our family who are serving people in the imperial capital." ”
It's Lao Tzu who is waiting, you bastards who don't give people peace of mind.
"At this time, don't take the blame indiscriminately, explain the matter clearly, maybe there will be a chance to drink the water of your hometown, so what's the use?"
The bolt is also a responsible person, although he mourned the death of his mother, but he did not bite the rest of the people, but it is not difficult to ask the case clearly, after all, among these villagers, even if they have not been to see it, they have also heard of the power of the "public trial conference", which is a serious and fast, quick knife to cut through the chaos of the direct means of exterminating everything, is the ultimate embodiment of power, of course, but also the appearance of the imperfect judicial system.
is also relying on the local of the bolt, the situation of each family is naturally clear, even whose mother-in-law corresponds to whose man, it is also clearly marked, Xu Maocai is gradually really afraid, even the distant relative Xu Fuzi is pale, but he is the "mastermind", even the tall horse is hidden in his own home, was searched out, although Xu Fuzi was also impacted, but after the inquiry, it was pushed into the pile of women and children.
Thinking about it with his brain, he has become a target, if he says that so many people do the next thing, and finally take the blame himself, he will not be convinced, "This adult, I was wronged, I was wronged by Master Xu behind my back, I was wronged." ”
"Well, remember your wrongs."
Li Xiangqian looked at him coldly and said: "You used to be the same, for many things, there are not a few people who have been killed, you are also the main force when you fight, you have many sons, but that is the matter of the former Ming, if you are because of this, not only are you not convinced, I also think that it is troublesome, if you really want to investigate, there will be no one in China, but I have a question, you really don't know, is there land in Liaodong, everything is different from the former Ming, in the past, reclamation, hard work for a few years, you got more land than your family has accumulated for many generations, You're not tempted? ”
This is what Li Xiangqian wants to figure out very much, in his opinion, people are not fools, obviously there are better opportunities, why not go out?
Xu Maocai was a little stunned, he thought for a while, couldn't think of an answer, and said: "Back to the master, our family, we just feel that we can live in peace, no better than anything, what do we want at home, save money, life is getting better day by day, go to other places, is bullied, but in this family, it is the owner of the land, we bastards, we bastards, please punish me alone, spare my children." ”
Class.
As with all the new and old alternates in human history, the same situation happened, just as in 2017, China frantically promoted the development of electric vehicles, while foreign auto groups in their own countries, but can rely on influence to delay the development of new energy vehicles, how can the ruler of vested interests manage the overall interests?
Especially this kind of small landlord, his own vision will not look too far, his self-awareness has been satisfied, how can he ask this kind of person to struggle? In the end, he just became a yeoman farmer.
This kind of thing is almost impossible to communicate, Li Xiangqian also shook his head and said, "You killed a good citizen." ”
Xu Maocai died in the end, if the matter did not spread, or killed a person with another identity, Li Xiangxiang would not have reacted so violently, as a result, the Xu family itself has a little girl, who is clever, and sees that the presbyterian church is not simple, and he will not let go when he takes refuge in Li Xiangqian's side, in order to clear himself, plus, in order to give an explanation to the entire Liaodong yeoman farming group, it is necessary to deal with Xujiatun's "group ** piece" seriously and quickly, which is his personal future problem, and it is also the impact of land development.
It can be said that you can't protect the interests of a small peasant in Liaodong, and in the future, you still want to fool people into going to Australia, California, and the world to open up territories, isn't it a joke?
That's the biggest difference in this matter, politics.
It is a wise saying that it is better to commit the most serious economic case than the slightest criminal case, and it is better to commit the most serious criminal case than the slightest political case.
The double pressure forced Li to move forward, but his reasoning was also sufficient, and he could even "turn bad things into good things", which became the reason for drastic reforms of certain policies.
The reason for the emergence of clan power is actually very simple, the grassroots management is out of control, social Darwinism is rampant, it is difficult for a single individual to survive in a cruel environment, and it is necessary to carry out clan-like connections in each village in order to survive in this situation, although the clan system has played the role of opposition in many cases, but for most individuals, the two evils are lighter, after all, not everyone will die at an early age, leaving orphans and widows to be bullied.
This actually comes back to the problem of making the cake and sharing the cake, the cake is difficult, and it is even more difficult to keep your own cake, the clan system is the "least bad" choice in this era, which is why those European countries, when they are at home, are often all kinds of good welfare and harmonious society, but when they go abroad, they are all kinds of tricks and tricks.
The reason for this is very simple: in a relatively civilized country, it is necessary to govern openly, but if you want to maintain a high level of income, at least in the next two or three hundred years, you must suck the blood of backward countries and regions.
The Belgian king Leopold II was in such a situation, he was known internally, advanced and enlightened, and the reason why he was so enlightened was because of the brutal exploitation, oppression and massacre of the local population in the Belgian Congo, and he was called the king of colonialism.
This is the style of a typical clan patriarch.
