Volume 3 Chapter 39 Thinking

When Yang Du said that it was not a weapon, Yang Rui thought of another thing, that is, is this militarism? It looks similar, but it doesn't look closely. First, it does not promote racism, second, it does not call for invasion of other countries, third, there is no military force. What Yang Du mentioned is nothing more than asking scholars to have a view of honor. ●⌒The west wind is rising east, and the world is getting worse. If everyone has ethics, does not follow the trend, can be loyal to the country, respect others, be brave to act, and not afraid of death, that is naturally good, even if there are inequality between people...

"Prime Minister, Du was wrong," Yang Du suddenly said: "Since the honor is centered on, the discretionary reduction of points is an insult to the doctors. Therefore, as long as the hereditary title is enthroned, no other needs to be taken care of."

"Haha, I even saved the points reduction." Yang Rui couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I ask you, scholars may understand this matter, but what should those ordinary people who don't know big words do? They also know loyalty, respect, courage, and death?"

Yang Rui's question hit Yang Du's thoughts, and he shouted: "Sir, this is the benefit of retaining the emperor! The people do not know about nationalism, patriotism, and nationalism. They only know the emperor. If the court does not have an emperor, there will be no peace in the world; if there are villains and treacherous ministers around the emperor, then everyone's life will be difficult. The best thing to do in the Revival will be, and the most important thing is to use the emperor to unite the hearts of the people. This is the foundation of our stability in China. Whoever moves this will harm the country and the people!

Only by unity can one be self-reliant, and only by self-improvement can one achieve wealth. The most basic thing to achieve unity is to have a center of gravity, a "one" recognized by everyone in the world. Only when this "one" exists can the entire country be one. What our country is currently implementing is a constitutional system of empty kings. Because of the king, the people are stable. Because of the king, the people are satisfied. This is the best of both worlds!

In a chaotic world of a strong country, if you want to be rich and strong, the spirit of the great scholars must be rebuilt. Today's constitution has abandoned the possibility of scholars, officials, bureaucrats and subordinates. People become human beings, and national sovereignty is completely the people. The prime minister is elected by the people, and the parliamentarians are also elected by the people. This spirit of the great scholars must be rebuilt. And it must be rebuilt. Scholars can make them loyal to the country and the people can make them loyal to the king. Isn't this the best of both worlds?

All the government needs to do is to promote the honor of the great men, grant the title of qualified men, and then send someone to urge them to do so. For example, those who receive the title of the great men can give the royal sword, a plaque on the residence door, a dressed outfit, and a sword to wear. Then give them a few privileges, and then most of the matter will be done. This will not cost much money, just like a medal in the army."

Yang Du said it quite well. But when he heard that he wanted privileges, Yang Rui said: "Actually, responsibility and rights are equal. Since the doctors have served the country with death, it is natural to give them privileges. People have a completely disregard for rationality. But he disregards reason, but the country cannot be without rationality. A fair boy. The idea is very good, but there are still three problems that have not been solved. If these three problems are solved, then this value can be pushed forward."

"What are the three other questions?" Yang Du was very happy when he saw that he had to sell the plan and hurriedly asked the following.

"First, the Ministry of Rites is under the jurisdiction of Uncle Mei. He recognizes this kind of thing, especially if it has made privileges. Uncle Mei may not agree with the aristocrats. He is a populist, and he opposed it when he was elected as a member of parliament. He believed that whether it was Western Europe or Japan, when the representative system was implemented, it was feudal society, restricting the removal of aristocrats' privileges and protecting civil rights, so this representative system could be implemented;

In my country, the feudal system began to collapse during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was no feudal system at all. There was only county system, bureaucracy system, and imperial power seemed to be *, but in fact it was laissez-faire. Otherwise, how could there be any saying that imperial power would not go to the countryside? Judging from the Qing Dynasty's parliament, our country implemented a representative system, which actually established a new aristocratic class, and the elected were all deposed officials and gentry. This was to rely on civil rights, not to extend civil rights. When you mention the aristocratic spirit now, he would not agree."

"Prime Minister, don't worry, the spirit of the great sect was to regress two thousand people to rebuild the culture of the Warring States Period. This is the same as the national sect that promotes the ancient culture of the pre-Qin period. Besides, this noble..." Yang Rui considered, "Master Zhang has always praised the spirit of the chivalrous, but this chivalrous was transformed by the spirit of the great sect who lost his livelihood. This is the noble character, he must trust his words and do what he does. Besides, honor is self-restrained and not deceives the people. Master Zhang will definitely not object to this spirit."

"That's good!" Yang Rui nodded, feeling that what Yang Du said was indeed the truth. He then continued: "The second is still the detailed rules implemented by this doctor. What is a doctor? Who judges? How to judge? How to supervise? As long as there is an error in this, the entire system will be completely destroyed."

Yang Rui suddenly thought of the IS0 certification. What was originally a good thing was actually ruined, which shows that the Chinese people are so corrosive. No matter how good the intentions of the doctors are, if the certification and supervision system is not perfect, it will eventually be corroded.

"This..., this is not a problem. Only by doing two things can it be done, then this matter can be accomplished." Yang Du said.

"Do those two?" Yang Rui asked curiously.

"First is that the government cannot judge or supervise it, so that it can truly last forever." Yang Du said. "Secondly, the number of officials who have been enthroned cannot exceed 3,000, and the quota must never be full. There will always be only about 2,000 people, and one-third of the vacancy will be vacant. But in addition to these, there can be many officials who have not been granted titles, such as students in colleges who can give them swords to encourage them to become officials. If they perform well, they can be awarded the second-class official title after death as honor, but this cannot be hereditary."

Speaking of this, Yang Du paused and said, "It is not hereditary to be hereditary. His son can only accept the first-class title, but he must be higher than the university students. If there are no special merits..." Yang Du paused again and said, "This is not right. If he really decides whether he is banned through merit, it will cause some snobs to come again. This is not good! This is not good!"

"Haha..." Looking at Yang Du's appearance, Yang Rui smiled and said, "Think about this matter slowly. Do you need to be recognized by the public? Whether a slaughter or not is not affected by the public? The key is the people's hearts. Let me continue to talk about the third question: Any reform, such as the Confucianism and the Reform of 1898, requires someone to write a letter to create momentum. With this momentum, it is not right." Yang Rui suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, just said, "Before this, the people needed to create momentum. Xizi, you should improve this set of things and publish an article in the name of a private person in the Empire Daily. If it is recognized by the society, it is not too late to discuss writing the letter.

The current Western concept of liberal democracy is very permeated. What is liberal democracy? In fact, it is individualism. What is individualism? If legal supervision is at home, it means no shame, no restraint, and utilitarianism that ignores others; if there is no legal supervision abroad, it means no good or evil, no human nature, and the strong bully the weak, and white supremacy.

The Confucian thing died in the late Ming Dynasty, and they were fond of fame and gained fame. The gentry in the late Ming Dynasty was like that. Now the Ministry of Rites is making an audio movie to refute these people. You, the saying of a great scholar, can just criticize this kind of utilitarianism, which is a slogan of freedom and democracy, and it can be regarded as a government accusation. But I can say that here, if the spirit of a great scholar is not recognized by the people, the government will not advocate it."

"Yang Du understands." Seeing that the Prime Minister jumped out of his own bewitching, Yang Du's heart was different, but he still had deep confidence in the world accepting the spirit of a sage. Although the article can only be published in his private name, he himself is an official. The president of the Jiyi Academy, which is a rare official in China. However, when he thought of advocating, Yang Du's eyes turned. He said, "Du still has a reluctant request."

"What else do you want?" Yang Rui looked at him and smiled.

"I want to invite Liang Zhuoru to the capital. He is a master of advocacy, and he is indispensable to advocating this matter." Yang Du said that he was a thousand-year-old monster. It only made the great leader feel a little sad.

"Liang Zhuoru? Humph..." Yang Rui smiled. He thought of some historical events. He would not use Liang Qichao even if he was destroyed. He said immediately: "I don't care who you invite, that's your private matter. But as long as I'm alive for one day, Liang Qichao will not want to become an official in the government. This person is so bad, haha..., it's better for Kang Youwei!"

Kang Youwei has become a traitor, especially this time he bewitched the Qing Dynasty's restoration and was famous for his eternal reputation. After China and Japan signed the treaty, these Qing Dynasty's legitimate elders were stranded in the Tianjin Concession and were later extradited by the Ministry of Industry at the request of the Inspectorate. Although foreigners protect political prisoners, these people are not political prisoners who can only make grand statements. These people are all traitors who collude with the invading army of the imperial enemy country. None of China and foreign countries can accept this. In addition, Britain, France and other countries are asking China to leave a breath of vitality for Japan, which means they agree to extradition.

To show kindness, Pu Wei and others were exempted from death sentences by Zhu Kuanli, sent back to the Northeast to surveillance and placed them under house arrest for life. Kang Youwei and others acted like this to expose the ugliness of Confucianism and did not kill them, but they asked them to confess their guilt and reform their thoughts to break the foundation of Confucianism, so that the world can see that Confucianism's personal virtues are only for the king, not for the country, but for the sake of fame and fortune. However, Kang Youwei and others are foolish and loyal to the end, and are willing to admit the crime of chaos in the country and not for the crime of Confucianism. Therefore, in the end, they were extra kind and did not kill them, and they were also under house arrest for life.

Kang Youwei, a person with such a chaotic country, had a better impression than Liang Qichao in the mind of the Prime Minister. A cold sweat broke out on Yang Du's back, but fortunately, Yang Rui had no other restrictions, but he just refused to be an official. He immediately said, "Understand" and went out.

More than half a month later, an article written by Major General Cai E, the Director of the Army Reserve, entitled "Military Nationalism and the Jiayin War" was published in the China Times; a few days later, it was signed by Yang Du, titled "The Great Doctors and the Scholars - Cultural Reinforcing of the Warring States Period" was published in the Empire Daily; when public opinion was enthusiastic about the separation of the "Tattle Doctors and Scholars", Liang Qichao's signed article "Another On the Spirit of Martial Arts" was published on the front page of the Shanghai Times, joining the discussion of "Tattle Doctors and Scholars". However, he was completely an outsider style, only talking about the martial spirit, but the article inevitably mentioned Yang Du's "Tattle Doctors and Scholars" in the four principles of "Loyalty, Respect, Brave, and Death". Although Liang Qichao commented that this "Tattle Doctors and Scholars" had flaws, he finally decided that it was a certain value, which was in line with China in the current era.

Although Liang Qichao was not an official, he was lost power before the fall of the Qing Dynasty. After the war between China and Japan started, he advocated the promotion of China and Japan. He was originally going to be a bad reputation, but he didn't expect that these two times not only did they get out of danger, but their reputation also rose. It really made Wang Xiaolin of the Ministry of Rites sigh that this person was really lucky. He was not in Taiwan at this time. Instead, he went to the Shanghai Concession and went to the south and north with his apprentice Cai E. He was promoted to the spirit of martial arts. Of course, their advocacy was basically for Yang Du. This made Yang Rui, who saw the newspaper, wonder what benefits Yang Du had promised them, which made Liang Qichao and his group work so hard.

"Sir, it seems that Liang Zhuoru received some donations in Taiwan, and he also recruited some former Qing MPs, such as Tang Hualong, Wang Yitang, Zhou Ziqi, Wang Yinchuan and others, as well as some early Japanese students, such as Lin Changmin, Zhang Dongsun, Jiang Baili, Zhang Junli, etc. They are preparing for a political party called the Progressive Party, intending to occupy several seats in the parliament in the next election of parliamentary members." Wang Xiaolin was in charge of propaganda. He was more clear about the matter in the circle. "There are probably some deals between Yang Du and them, otherwise these people would not have been so hard to promote the spirit of the great men."

"This Yang Xizi!" Hearing that Liang Qichao had gathered so many people, including Tang Hualong, Wang Yitang, Lin Changmin, Zhang Dongsun, and Jiang Baili, Yang Rui couldn't help but secretly hated Yang Du. Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Baili again. He said, "Isn't this Jiang Baili an instructor at the Army University? Why were they dragged into it?"

"Sir, you don't know anything. Jiang Baili is like Cai Songpo. He is Liang Zhuoru's beloved disciple. He is like his father. Their relationship is extraordinary." Wang Xiaolin said. "Do you want to control these things here?"

"Control?" Yang Rui shook his head, "These bastards are all in the concession. They only write articles without rebelling. How to control them? This concession is a place where dirt is hidden, and it is the focus of the whole country's attention. If they are not taken back, the whole country will inevitably be in chaos."

Yang Rui, who had been hiding in Shanghai to command the revolution, began to talk about the bad things in the concession because the place where his butt was sitting. Wang Xiaolin thought about the same visualization as he did, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He said, "What about the postal route? Is it..."

"We can only control the postal route. In fact, controlling the postal route is not very useful. Liang Qichao and others only promote their own set of things in foreign trade ports, and there are some inland cities. But his accomplices have very rich families, so it is okay to find someone to transport the newspapers into the inland. We can't search everyone's luggage," said Yang Rui. "If they ask them to make trouble, they are less than 5%, so don't think about entering the Scripture Academy."

"Students understand." Wang Xiaolin said.

"How is the movie being prepared?" Yang Rui turned to remember the reason for summoning Wang Xiaolin. It was actually for a movie. All the movies in the notebook were shot with black and white cameras. This time, the movies handed over to Wang Xiaolin were later movies, but this was not the master plate, so he had to find someone to shoot them again.

"This... sir, actors, scenes, props, scripts, shooting, all of these are fine. The director is the ones who used to shoot military films. He has a lot of experience. Moreover, the military aircraft and airships are supported, and this film is about to be completed. It's just... that's..." There are many novels that write movies, and those things quickly turn Wang Xiaolin into three movies, and they talk about things one by one.

"What's it? Isn't the money enough?" Yang Rui asked.

"No, it's not that there is not enough money." Wang Xiaolin said, "Sir, there are Emperor Chongzhen in this Ming Dynasty. The movie is just a few scenes in the Golden Palace. This is to be filmed in the Forbidden City, and it's not something I can do. Also, the image of Emperor Chongzhen in the movie... is not too formal."

"It's fine if there's no black matter. If it really doesn't work, add some content. It's better to say that Sun Chuanting was detained as a treacherous minister." Yang Rui said, he knew that the director of the Film Bureau under the Ministry of Rites was completely stupid after watching movies in later generations, and he didn't dare to change the original work at all. "Xiao Lin, remember, the purpose of this film is to highlight those unscrupulous gentry. They occupied the land, and the people who starved to death, those who followed the bandits, and the army went to conscript and demanded food and no food. Although the fall of the Ming Dynasty was a natural disaster, the ** caused by the gentry stealing military camps and annexing the land would not have reached that level. The whole film was aimed at this theme."

"The students understand that the gentry filmed now is worse than the original one, but there are also Emperor Chongzhen's plays... Mr., if this movie is released at the end of the year, you have to talk to the Forbidden City as soon as possible." Wang Xiaolin said.

"Okay! I'll go to the palace later to tell you about your necessities so that your people can go in and make movies." Yang Rui said.

Yang Rui thought that it would be fine if he found a palace and patted it. He didn't want the people in the Film Bureau to go to the Forbidden City to shoot. Are they afraid that Zhu Kuan-hui would be furious? Yang Rui thought about this and just asked Li Zilong to make time to go to the Forbidden City. Unexpectedly, Zhang Taiyan came. He looked at Wang Xiaolin angrily, then threw several stacks of newspapers on the table. He said angrily: "It turns out, what is this Yang Xizi?"

"What's going on?" Yang Rui waved his hand and sent Wang Xiaolin away. He poured a cup of tea for Zhang Taiyan.

"What's going on with this sage spirit?" Zhang Taiyan didn't drink tea, just wanted to ask Ming Yang Rui's attitude.

"That's it." Yang Rui didn't care at all. "Last month, Yang Xizi came to me and said she wanted to promote the spirit of the doctor. I heard it very well, but I felt... I couldn't say it either. Anyway, I felt something was wrong. Later, I asked him to create public opinion first. If everyone agrees with this, then the government will promote it. If everyone doesn't like this, then they will enjoy their mouths."

After hearing Yang Rui say that this thing is wrong, Zhang Taiyan's face is a little better. He said, "Yang Xizi's proposal seems to be a country, but in fact it harms the country. Confucianism enslaves people with the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. What honor does he use to bind people? What honor is it? Who judges honor? He wants to put everyone in another condom."

Zhang Taiyan's thoughts tend to Laozi and Zhuangzi. He did not want human spirit to be bound by any ideology and morality. He believed that the most precious thing for human beings is that he can feel nature and realize life without being restricted. This is the preciousness of life and the preciousness of all things. Yang Rui knew this, but he thought of Yang Du's last time saying chivalrously, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle Mei. Yang Xizi said that this chivalrous spirit is the spirit of a great man. Is there something wrong?"

"He is arguing. The great men die for honor, while the chivalrous men die for justice. Honor is for himself, and righteousness is for others. How can these two kinds of death be compared?" Zhang Taiyan said angrily, "Publicizing the great men will eventually become reckless men who do not know what life is and only know how to seek fame and reputation. There are so many people in the country who will sooner or later become warlike and will die."

"But at least it can unite the people and know to be loyal to the country, which is exactly what we want." Yang Rui said.

"But what is a country? Isn't this country composed of thousands of people? Let everyone not be bound by restraints, understand the value of life, and let everyone become human beings. This is the real defense of the country." Zhang Taiyan said.

"What should we do if the enemy comes?" Yang Rui was very angry when he saw that he always said life. He followed Yang Du's words and said, "Confucius said, "How can we know death if we don't know life? This should be said in reverse, "How can we know life if we don't know death if we don't have the belief of decisive death."

"This is fart!" Zhang Taiyan originally wanted to knock on the table with a fan. The force was too strong, and he didn't know where to throw the fan. He said, "If a person does not know how precious life is and does not understand what kind of life should be, how can he defend it with death?! This is like a rich man who is used to living a good life. If you ask him to ask for food for a few days, it would be better to die for him.

We let the people understand how to make a living and how to make a living valuable. So when the enemy comes, in order to defend the preciousness of its own dignity, the people will definitely refuse to surrender and regard death as if they are home. This is to die for life. Isn’t this the unity you want? It has been achieved. The culture of the Revival Society has been like this since its establishment. It is a culture of life. Yang Xizi is talking about a culture of death. No matter how I think it is, there is a shadow of a virtuous person. Don’t believe him and cut off the original vitality.”

"The culture of life..., the culture of death...," Yang Rui understood what Zhang Taiyan meant. He actually wanted a small country but few people, but what he wanted was the whole country as united as one person. "Uncle Mei, the war against Japan was won, but now the entire country is still on the edge of a cliff, and it will fall down a little accidentally. If the country cannot unite into one, then the country still cannot be revived. Even if it is suffering, it is only suffering for decades. What you said can be implemented by the next generation."
