Wang Guowei has a strong sour taste, if he didn't know the roots, Yang Rui would have already sent him out with tea. Listening to what he said now, there is still a slight gain, especially the Southeast Clan, which is something that Yang Rui ignored before. During the land reform, he listened to Cen Chi's policy, and did not move the clan's acres in order to be able to fight against foreign religions, and now he doesn't want to leave the clan but has such an effect, it seems that Cen Chi and Zhang Taiyan and others have the same concept very early.

The change of Tonghua and the rebellion of the capital had a great impact on Yang Rui, the former was the sudden betrayal of a trusted person, and the latter was the inaction of a trusted person, so that Cai Yuanpei killed people like hemp and almost destroyed the entire country, so he now no one fully believes in it and has a little doubt about anyone. The successor of Wang Menghui, the commander of the Beijing Praetorian Guard, was not anyone in the Fuxing Society, but Wu Peifu, who he was well known to later generations, and he believed that this Beiyang general, who was extremely respectful of integrity, was trustworthy.

Yang Rui was like this, and the generals in the Fuxing Army were also extremely shocked by the teacher's layout in Baoding, they didn't know that there was a unit like the Tax Police City War Army in addition to the Fuxing Army, and it was aimed at the Fuxing Army rebellion. Everyone who learned of this situation was a little emotional, but Qi Qingyuan's matter made people have nothing to say - who would have thought that Qi Qingyuan would suddenly detain everyone and prepare to rebel.

The relationship between the teacher and the student, the mentor and the followers, the relationship between the two parties suddenly became stiff afterwards, and even the most naughty Lu Mengxiong began to send a telegram seriously, for fear of doing something to make Yang Rui taboo and suspicious; And Yang Rui, who had been ill, did not notice these changes, just as he found that Cen Chi's position was potentially the same as that of Zhang Taiyan and others at this time, he noticed a lot of things that he didn't pay much attention to before.

Wang Guowei usually speaks little. But this time there is a lot to say, and the clan is eye-catching. The theory of the four peoples of tribes, states, kingdoms, and empires is also somewhat new, but he constantly repeats his teachings and pays attention to virtue. Yang Rui subconsciously thought that he had committed another sour Confucian problem, so he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Jing'an said that he should emphasize etiquette and education, why is this?" What do they do? Isn't this a trick to fool the people? ”

"This ......" was asked by Yang Rui, Wang Guowei suddenly choked, although he had known the anti-Confucian stance of the Revival Association, but now he was directly reprimanded by Yang Rui for teaching the etiquette system as a foolish technique, which still made it difficult for him to accept. It's good that Prime Minister Yang Rui took care of him and the remnants of Emperor Guangxu, so he didn't leave with his sleeves up. It took a while. He said: "Indoctrination is to make people abide by the etiquette system, and the etiquette system is ......" He suddenly thought of the training before entering the job, so he changed his words: "The etiquette system is for teamwork." What would happen if everyone in the government did whatever they wanted, disobeyed orders, and tried their best to gain power? ”

Wang Guowei played like a team, and when he saw that Yang Rui was still thinking, he had to make amazing words like a madman. Again: "My lord, if a country rebels, but only anti-corrupt officials and not the emperor, what will happen? ”

"That's not a change of dynasty. It's just... It's just a change of government. In today's parlance, it's just a reversal. Yang Rui suddenly felt something interesting and replied with a smile.

"Exactly. This is the reason why the countries of Western Europe have never changed dynasties, but only changed their heirs as kings. In other words. This is the reason why the whole country observes virtue and respect, and this kind of etiquette is not the result of the deliberate teaching of official uniforms. It's a religious act. The royal family is always a royal family, and the nobles are always nobles and well-organized, so there are few rebellions, even if they are big chaos, they are mostly rebellions of etiquette and doctrine, and non-royal rebellions, such as religious wars of Westerners.

Our country is different, since the Qin Dynasty, the etiquette has collapsed, the cunning has been cunning, the rules are made by themselves, and the things are not ancient. Every time Ding Ge, the whole country is in turmoil, the dignity and humility are reversed, thieves are swarming, lives are ruined, the people are not left, and the humble people turn into kings. How so? There is no etiquette, no rudeness, no morality. Therefore, everyone can be called an emperor, everyone can be a king, kill people like hemp for the sake of wealth and wealth, and frame loyalty and goodness in order to protect wealth and wealth; There is also Qin who has lost his deer, and the world can chase it, and the country ...... "Kingdom Weidao."

"And 'princes and generals, rather have a kind', 'become a king and lose a villain'?" Yang Rui suddenly thought of the past, and his heart suddenly shook violently, but his hidden kung fu was very deep, and his appearance seemed to be just a faint word.

"Yes, it's the same thing." Wang Guowei said, "In fact, who is the emperor and who is the people does not hinder the overall situation of China. If one person is the emperor, the world is still this world. It is really unwise to be in turmoil for decades, with tens of millions of casualties just for the sake of the wealth of a family and a surname. Look at the founding fathers, how is their creation different from that of the previous dynasties? All of this is just a reincarnation. ”

"This ......" this time it was Yang Rui who groaned, he said, "This seems to be the periodic law of the dynasty, but what if the population reaches the limit?" ”

"My lord, what should we do if the population of Western Europe reaches its limit? Is there also a change of dynasty, and after the chaos, the people will not survive? Wang Guowei asked rhetorically.

"Not really." Yang Rui said, "But there are many different ...... between the West and the East."

"My lord, the biggest difference between the East and the West is that Western etiquette and music are dependent, while Eastern etiquette and music collapse." Wang Guowei emphasized. "It's just that the world is becoming more democratic, and in the long run, Western ritual music will also disappear. Pity the scholars of our country, who only learn Western democracy and Western science and technology, but never learn Western etiquette and music, and never know that there is no etiquette and music for those who are not feudal, and there are no rules for those who are rude and music, and there is no prosperity in the West today.

In the Western countries, France was the first to collapse, and King Louis XIV of France replaced feudalism with provinces and nobles with civil officials. Although it has Napoleon, today's France is only a weak country in Western Europe! On the other hand, in Britain, after several domestic battles, the parliamentary aristocracy is still the same, the king is equal to nothing, and the government is equal to the abolition, but the result is that this small and remote country is now the hegemon of the world, which is the difference between the survival and the abolition of etiquette and music. If you want to revive China, whether it is for France to abolish ritual music, or for England to preserve ritual music, you want to know in your heart. ”

Not to mention that compared with Britain, even compared with Germany, France has long been inferior. Yang Ruishen was impressed by Wang Guowei's example, and couldn't help asking: "But today's world is a world of great contention, once you give up centralized power like Britain, maybe it will ......."

"Your Excellency is saying that the Renaissance Army is not strong?" Wang Guowei asked. "Worried that the land will be seized by the enemy for a while?"

"Neither is it." Yang Rui retracted what he wanted to say. In his concept. As long as the atomic bomb was developed, the war took a different shape. National security is not a thorny issue. Centralized power can do great things and be efficient, but how much can it lose? In terms of his profession and profession in later life. What I hate the most is government intervention, those officials who can only pat their heads and sycophants, all they do are political projects, they look grandiose, but grandeur can't be eaten; If you add to this corruption, then the people of the whole country are really blessed.

"If Lile is so important, how can it be rebuilt after it collapses?" Yang Rui began to deepen the topic, "Having a way is a major event of the country, and it is being worshiped in Rong." Can this sacrifice be regarded as one of the measures to re-establish the regulation of ritual music? ”

"Sacrifice is only one of them, but the longevity of Western ritual music is not in the temple, but in the church. This is the foundation of the collapse of Chinese ritual music after the Zhou Dynasty, and the survival of Western ritual music. "Wang Guoweidao.

"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha......" Yang Rui suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, he laughed for a while, and saw that Wang Guowei was extremely surprised and even more cramped, and had to say: "Great goodness...... Hahahaha...... Great goodness and great goodness also. ”

He reassured Wang Guowei on his side, but a seriously ill man laughed so loudly. attracted Cheng Ying right away. The woman bowed slightly to Wang Guowei, and then patted Yang Rui's back and blamed, "Be careful, don't laugh at it." ”

"No...... Ha ha. Yang Rui finally finished laughing, and he said: "Mr. Jing'an suddenly opened a window for me to interpret the West with the Chinese theory of etiquette and music. What an eye-opener! Then he said to the kingdom, "That is to say." In the case of the United States, for example, its constitutionalism is not a constitution at all. But in the hearts of tens of millions of Protestants? ”

"Yes, sir. Exactly. Wang Guowei thought for a moment, then nodded.

Yang Rui, who waved his wife away, asked again: "And Protestantism and Catholicism are separated, and the beginning is the sixteenth century?" ”

"That's true, sir." Wang Guowei said again. He understood Yang Rui's meaning very well, and he continued Yang Rui's meaning: "Now that Buddhism is flourishing in our country, it can also carry out religious reform like Protestantism, and hide the Chinese ritual music inside, and the reconstruction of the ritual music will be just around the corner; There are existing regulations on etiquette and music, and folk morality can exist; The people's morality exists, and then it is divided into seals, and revival should be expected. ”

"Hmm. This is software. Yang Rui nodded heavily, and a reform outline from hard to soft unfolded in his mind. At the beginning, Master Y was not vigorously cultivated to rebuild the ritual music, but he had no intention of planting willows and willows, and he didn't want to have this use.

Yang Rui said that the software kingdom Wei didn't know what it was, but his own suggestion was called 'great goodness' by Yang Rui, but he suddenly forgot the difference between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and only felt that the person sitting heartily in front of him was his king. He was in a trance, but Yang Rui said, "Mr. Jing'an, there is another question that I am extremely worried about. The division and the imperial examination are completely relative, and if the division is done, the imperial examination cannot be carried out, what should those scholars do? So they can't be officials anymore in the future? ”

"Then may I ask my lord, why do they want to be officials?" Wang Guowei woke up from his trance and suddenly asked.

"They ......" Yang Rui thought that canceling the imperial examination was equivalent to canceling the opportunity for these people to climb up, he was looking down, but from the perspective of scholars, why should they be officials? Of course, it is to glorify the ancestors and fill the pockets.

"The imperial examination was originally created by the Sui and Tang dynasties to suppress the Guan Long family, and this move is the same as Louis XIV of France suppressing the aristocracy." Wang Guowei said, "Small households, not to mention Jinshi, even if they show off their talents, they have to go through decades of accumulation, and they are even more expensive." The industry is like a peer businessman, and the initial investment must be rewarded after all, and this return is the cronyism and greed for ink after becoming an official.

It is also said that the West has a professional spirit, what is a profession? Occupation is ancestral business; Where does the ancestral industry come from? The ancestral industry is that all generations are gunsmiths, shoemakers, and blacksmiths, and our country conducts the imperial examination, and no matter what kind of occupation as long as you accumulate money, you will turn to the industry, so how can all industries prosper? And craftsmen and the like, because they do not take the imperial examination, they are illiterate, how can their skills be improved?

The disadvantages of the imperial examination are really great. The policy of dividing the seal, the official will always be the official, the craftsman will always be the craftsman, the people have no hope and luxury, they will be content with their own industry, and they will be satisfied with their own skills, and if they are sophisticated, they will be prosperous; And if you don't do the imperial examination, there will be no people who run to drill camps and fight against the wind, and the folk customs are natural and simple, and the people's morality is naturally preserved. ”

"Good!" Yang Rui smiled and nodded, following the artistic conception of Wang Guowei's words, he only said good, not good. He asked again: "Outside the customs is divided." The clans in the Guannai can be governed, but what about the provinces of North China and Northwest China? ”

"What about the provinces of North China and Northwest China. Guowei doesn't know. "Wang Guoweidao. Yang Rui asked a practical question this time, this kind of governance. It's not the kingdom that knows about it.

"It's me who is greedy." Yang Ruiqian said with a smile. "Talking to my husband today is really an empowerment. However, I still have something to ask for. Yang Rui said politely.

"Please elaborate." Wang Guowei arched his hand. "As long as Guowei can do it."

"This ......" Yang Rui thought about it, but said with a smile, "It's a big matter, I'd better think about it." However, today's words will be the foundation of the national policy in the future, and please keep it quiet. ”

"The national maintenance should strictly abide by this secret." Wang Guowei nodded seriously. "If you have something to inquire about in the future, you can call Guowei by phone."

"Good!" Yang Rui stood up and smiled at him, and said again after taking a few steps. "In the future, if there is anything I don't understand, I will go to the Ministry of Rites to find you. I won't say much to you today, I'm going to take advantage of this to go to the study to think about digestion and digestion. ”

Yang Rui struck while the iron was so hot, Wang Guowei also laughed, he didn't know that Yang Rui was such a person. He said goodbye, and Yang Rui returned to the empty study on the four walls and continued to meditate before. Wang Guowei's clan and religion this time were written on the wall by him.

Before he got sick, he had been thinking about the partition bill that was already a fact, and then he fell into the whirlpool of 'princes and generals, rather have a kind of' and 'become a king and lose a villain' and couldn't extricate himself. When you are sick and painful. In order to seek liberation, he deliberately turns his mind to this. After sobering up, he wrote a lot of things in the study. To be precise, he was no longer a pure statist, but a familialist. Between home and country, he used to be partial to the country, but now he is partial to home.

Look at it from his point of view at this time. If there is no national security threat, whether or not to develop a nuclear bomb is not an important issue. Five-year plans and four-year plans are no longer in the scope of consideration. But for the sake of national security, the military, science and technology, nuclear bombs, radars, etc. have to continue; And the industrial plan. In particular, the military-industrial plan must also follow the established direction, and diplomatically it is all the more cautious and must always look ahead and look backward.

He will only be able to rebuild the country when it is safe and secure, and that will involve many aspects. Software, hardware, policies. Among them, there are three kinds of software: one is religion. Religion must be reformed, and the doctrine and direction of religious reform must adhere to the fundamentals of the family, be friends with selfishness, and be enemies of selflessness. As in Protestantism, wealth belongs to God, and wealth is not accumulated for personal gain, but for the glory of God. To put it succinctly, believers are earning money for God (such as the Buddha), which is the essence of Protestants who regard money as their life and are stingy with their doors.

The second is the law. The constitution must be put to rest, and the nature of the law must be changed. Yang Rui didn't know what kind of legal system was practiced in the Tingwei Mansion at this time, whether it was a civil law system or a common law system, and he thought that it must be changed to a common law system, and the relevant clans and feudal divisions should be added to it. That is to say, some beneficial liturgical content will be added back to it, which is a check on those who do not believe in religion to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble;

The object of the implementation of the law is no longer people-oriented, but household-oriented. This is similar to the concept of a legal person in commercial law, since they are the same clan, then they should be blessed and enjoy the same hardships, and anyone who is at fault is the fault of the patriarch. Those who want to set up their own doors can start their own households, but he will soon find that it is difficult to do anything in this society without being attached to a large clan. As with the scattered Christians against the peasant associations, there is no suspense about the competition between the two sides.

From the standpoint of the state, the clan is a potential enemy, but from the standpoint of the family, the clan is a brother and friend. Before, it was reversed, now it is going with the trend, and the two are very different. In the southeastern provinces, the peasant associations can be gradually replaced by clans, and a strong basic organization can be established - writing here, Yang Rui thought of the clan private struggle that was the most troublesome in the past, and now the change of position feels that this is completely a good thing, and the private struggle is so powerful, so it is natural to equip these people with guns, oppose foreign aggression, and oppose government tyranny.

However, the clan is improvised, and the central government's revenue is worried, and the implementation of the administrative order must also be discussed with the patriarch - tilting his head and thinking for a long time, Yang Rui suddenly slapped his head vigorously, and then scolded: "Isn't this a fucking republic!! ”

He excitedly walked around the room with his pen in hand, and then ran to the library next door to dig out the history of Rome. This is indeed a republic! The earliest republic implemented in Rome was a patriarchal republic, and the clan set that he wants to engage in now should be called a clan republic.

Yang Rui was screaming and making trouble in the study, worried that his Cheng Ying couldn't help knocking on the door and coming in. She took a piece of clothing and reproached. "You've been up for most of the day, and Mr. Jing'an is gone. Let's rest for now, and come back tomorrow if there's something to do. ”

Looking at the woman's concerned appearance, Yang Rui knew that she was a democratic republican, so he quipped, "I am thinking about establishing a republic now, which is related to the happiness of hundreds of millions of people, how can I say stop and stop?" ”

"What a democratic republic?" Cheng Ying complained while draping the man's clothes: "If the people are like that, it is useless to talk about the democratic republic now and the poisonous snake, tiger and wolf." The Japanese are the happiest in trouble. What else do they say, 'Anyone who speaks of democracy can be killed'. It's ...... that everyone believes such outrageous words."

"'Anyone who speaks of democracy can be killed'......" Yang Rui repeated his wife's words and said with a smile: "That's the truth." ”

"How can you say that?" Cheng Ying was slightly displeased - it was really a trouble for the couple to disagree on their political ideas. "If this continues, there will be a big mess one day, maybe someone will jump out to make a revolution and fight a civil war with you so-called nobles."

When Cheng Ying spoke, he also pointed at Yang Rui's forehead with a jade finger. After giving birth to two children, she has an indescribable mature woman style in her every move, if it weren't for the serious illness that has not healed, Yang Rui will definitely strangle her still slender waist and aim at the ups and downs, snow-white and high buttocks to correct it on the spot.

I barely suppressed my thoughts. Turning his gaze to the other side again, Yang Rui said a little stiffly: "Just those fart people, they are also worthy of civil war?" The current war is no longer a war of people. It's a war of fire. ”

Don't say anything about war, Cheng Ying was surprised when he heard the man spit out the word 'fart people'. She said, "Doesn't your revival say that you want to serve the people wholeheartedly?" ”

"That's just a joke!" Yang Rui smiled, "More precisely, it's just a kind of exploitation." And there is no need to worry about their retaliation. Since less than a million Manchurians can enslave them, then these nobles you call them. Why can't they be enslaved? Are they worried that they don't have a master? Yang Rui was so straightforward, which made Cheng Ying's face more and more ugly, and he had no choice but to say: "The revival will be much better for them than the Manchu Qing." ”

"If it's really good, I wouldn't say that I want to treat them as slaves." Cheng Ying retorted.

"But in the law, everyone is completely equal." Yang Rui argued again, "Do you want the rich to divide the money equally among the poor?" ”

"Not so." Cheng Ying said, after all, she received an Anglo-American education, "But the poor can't get poorer and poorer, this is the basic moral question." Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, is such a society a progressive society? ”

"Progressively, of course." Yang Rui didn't expect a woman to be so stupid, and actually put the handle of the debate into his hands, he smiled: "The essence of progress is that some people must make sacrifices and even give their lives. Zhumen is the place where progress has been made, wine and meat are the representatives of progress, and freezing bones is sacrifice. If there are no frozen bones, where does the wine and meat stink? If you pay attention, Soviet Russia will soon put an end to the NEP and introduce collective farm ......"

Men are always crooked, but Cheng Ying asks every time, and this time she also said: "What is a collective farm?" ”

"It's the foundation of progress." Yang Rui said very seriously. "When the people have money, they should find a way to collect it and realize industrialization. But the people are too scattered, so the harvesting efficiency is too low, so the best way is to keep the people in captivity like livestock, let them eat less and use less, and then use the saved grain for export in exchange for machines to achieve industrialization. ”

"But they... But the Bolsheviks said that they wanted to liberate the proletarians of the whole world, or to realize the ...... of Datongism," Yang Rui said, Cheng Ying did not doubt it, but he did not expect the Bolsheviks to be so brutal.

"This is not a contradiction, in the words of the great Comrade Li Ning, this is dialectics!" Yang Rui couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, he became serious, "If you don't buy machines and don't pursue progress, you will be wiped out by the enemy, but if you want to achieve industrialization and pursue progress, someone must sacrifice." The cattle in the collective farms are sacrifices, how is this different from what I said about the farts people, at least I don't keep them in captivity? This is Russia, and the prosperity of the United States is built on the blood and sweat of the workers; Japanese farmers don't mention that there are 100,000 Japanese girls selling sex in the Nanyang area. Is it disgusting? I don't feel like it at all! It's important to understand that we can't demand progress without freezing bones. ”

Yang Rui's last sentence was extremely decisive, and when Cheng Ying found another reason to refute, he had already turned around. (To be continued.) )
