From Chief to Ball

The pre-planned resettlement area will send a lot of victims every day. Some people who came here first helped maintain order and distributed a certain amount of food every day.It is meaningless to put out the list to comfort the people. Few of the disaster victims can read, so they can only rely on people's mouths to publicize.

As one of the earliest "political" immigrants, Lin Zigui was assigned the simplest task of helping to convey some written documents through his mouth.

He also thought about doing something more important, but seeing the chaos of more than 2 people being sent to the shore in batches, he really understood what it means to have a thousand words in his pen but have no real plan in his mind.

In addition to writing a few poems with emotion to express this kind of scene that caused more than ten thousand people to survive, he found that he could not even compare with some accountants in those fleets. According to his understanding, he was the accountant.

Before these victims arrived, he approached Chen Jian, hoping that he could also contribute.This is the feeling, and it is also the most important thing after reading the sages' books, with the people in the world and the affairs of the world in mind.

Chen Jian had a good impression of Lin Zigui. Maybe he was not very talented, but at least he was the first regular scholar to come here, although he was a heretic of Neo Confucianism.

So some conversations took place, after which Lin Zigui was dejected.

"Do you know how to farm?"

"I don't know."

"Can you calculate the consumption of the victims every day?"

"will not."

"Do you know how to prevent a disease or how it spreads?"

"don't know."

"Will you steer the boat and sail to Fujian to pick up the victims?"

"No."

"Can you organize thousands of people without chaos, come across the sea, and walk a hundred miles safely from the disaster area?"

"No."

"Can you guarantee that the resettlement of the victims will prevent future conflicts between clans, fellow villagers, and foreign tribes?"

"Don't dare."

After repeated questions and answers, the more Lin Zigui asked, the more ugly his face became. At the end, Chen Jian smiled and said, "So you can read, and you are also very smart. It is just a human being who makes the best use of it. Naturally, there are things you are suitable for, but not now. "

"Does this mean that the useless is a scholar?"

Chen Jian laughed and said, "Could it be that you don't need to read and study the things I said? Isn't that what a scholar is?"

Lin Zigui sighed, and could only accept the things that Chen Jian arranged that seemed unimportant to him. He felt sorry for him, but he was helpless.

However, he didn't feel too disappointed, but readily accepted this gap.He himself is a traitor to Neo-Confucianism. The books he read in Yuegang are basically banned books with dangerous thoughts. Although the writers of the books have died, they still convinced a few Confucian scholars: Master is just a person, nothing All workers, fishermen and woodcutters have something to learn from things that are not easy in all ages.

Seeing that these disaster victims who were sent ashore were quickly resettled, and soon lost the chaotic emotions when they first landed, Lin Zigui understood that many things he had learned before could only be cultivated. There is nothing you can do.

Lin Zigui felt that it was a bit nonsense to say that these actions did not conform to what the Master said.He felt that if the master came back to life, he might not refuse to save him. However, the master didn't seem to know how to farm the land, and he regarded the farmers as villains, so he might not necessarily guide these people to plant and cultivate.

With the in-depth understanding of this place, Lin Zigui finally pointed out that the people on board also had cronies, and this kind of cronyism was something he had never seen before.

Of course he had read about cronyism and heard people talking about cronyism, but he had never seen a group of cronies with a purpose, a program, a plan, and an organization.

The difference between the party and the cronies lies here, Lin Zigui thought it was right.The word “Party” first existed, and then there was the act of applying the concept of a political party to the word “Party”. The Donglin Party and the Qichuzhe Party are not parties, but cronies.

After getting familiar with each other and gradually mastering some languages, when I heard the names of this group of cronies, I inevitably thought of the transnational paramilitary organization that once ruled all countries in the pre-Qin period and became a landless country, Mohists without kings and fathers .

It's just that it's still different after all. Many things are somewhat similar, but they are not the same or even opposite.

The former relies on ghosts, while the latter relies on people from all over the world.

After hearing about some things in the distant republic, Lin Zigui thought that there are 36 counties in them, but in fact there are 38 counties, but No. 30 and No. 30 counties only have people and no specific people. location and land.When these people are organized together, they can unleash a force even stronger than that of a single county.The former has ideas, ideals, and a program to change the world; the latter has money, people, and a fleet that can even compete with the country's navy in the future.

The former is a crony, the latter is a company.The former is righteousness and the latter is profit, but both can possess such powerful power, but Lin Zigui can't figure out what righteousness he is pursuing.

When he heard that there was more than one clique there, Lin Zigui thought again, if all these cliques have an agenda, wouldn't it be a dispute among a hundred schools of thought?A hundred schools of thought have their own way, so is this way the basis of the program?

And what is the orthodoxy in this world today?Or is it said that orthodoxy is already like this, so it is integrated with the world and inseparable, because this is no longer an era of contention among a hundred schools of thought, so the death of orthodoxy means the death of the world?Ethnic groups are a concept closely related to history, and history cannot be changed. As long as the orthodoxy dies, the world will die; and the orthodoxy does not change individuals to be emperors, but only changes dynasties?

When cronies similar to this group of people appear in this world one day, I am afraid that they will not be far away from the world.Just like what those people said about the reform of Hongyi's orthodoxy, I am afraid that the world of Hongyi has already perished, and the new orthodoxy is no longer what it was before.

Even if the clothes are still the clothes on the right lapel, even if they are still wearing the high crown with the hair tied and the hairpin, if there is no etiquette, no order of dignity, no homogeneity of family and country, I am afraid that the world will still be lost, because this orthodox changed.

Lin Zigui had never been so frightened before, and he was a little overwhelmed with fear.Of course he likes some of the atmosphere here, the atmosphere and pursuit of equality between people in the clique, and the women in the clique who do things by themselves, but all of these are destined to perish.

He thought that the orthodoxy and the world of Europa had perished during what they called the religious reformation; the so-called orthodoxy and the world of the republic would perish sooner or later according to this trend; Muslim country.

With such fear in mind, he found Chen Jian again after finishing the resettlement of the victims.

But instead of asking about my fear directly, I asked about something else.I asked too many things, and gradually revealed some confusion and incomprehension, as well as some young people's unique passion and heresy of Neo Confucianism and pursuit of freedom.

After listening to such words, Chen Jian lent him a few books and a pamphlet that was summed up in Fujian and Wangbei City over the past year.

That pamphlet was an investigation report on the vicinity of Quanzhou, nothing special, just telling the truth and adding Chen Jian's "summary" from later generations.

It is nothing more than grain yield per mu, tax collection, land rent amount, meritorious contribution to evade public tax, excessive tax collection by the tax supervisor, smuggling, large households enclosing land and occupying the sea, clan infighting, clan oppressing small households of the same clan, etc. question.

These are all very common things, but after summarizing them with methods and analyzing their benefits, these problems made Lin Zigui feel cold sweat all over his body.

After reading it, Lin Zigui didn't sleep for several days, carefully put away these things.Chen Jian dared to give it to him because he was a heretic; and Lin Zigui also knew that if these things spread out, there would be big troubles, and he would rather starve to death than allow these people to go ashore again.

When returning these books, when he wanted to ask Chen Jian what these questions meant and what to do, Chen Jian took the lead in asking, "Say, what should I do?"

The simplest three words, but Lin Zigui feels that these three words have never been so heavy.

"Yeah, what to do?"

Repeating these three words in a murmur, he suddenly asked with some self-deprecation: "Is this something I should consider? I am not the prime minister, nor the chief assistant, nor have I ever eaten the king's salary. This is a major event in the world, and I always How can a person like a small sesame mung bean have the right to think about it?"

"Man, man, don't act like a little girl, complaining about yourself and laughing at yourself. You seem to be full of grievances. Think about it, do you want to know what to do, don't make a decision now. Think carefully. After thinking clearly, come and tell me. What to do It’s one thing. It’s another thing to want to know what to do and not to know what to do.”

Chapter 95 Southbound and Northbound

Ten days after that conversation, Lin Zigui figured out the first question and decided he wanted to know.So he took the question and asked Chen Jian the second question that he had been unable to figure out, but Chen Jian did not give an answer.

Instead, together with the six most rebellious people selected from the first batch of Wangbei City, they started the study for an unknown period of time.

During the day, these seven people continue to do what they should do, together with Wangbei City, which is changing day by day, feeling the joy of growing up, and the sense of accomplishment of creating the world from the barren land gathered into cities and villages can be felt every day .

The fort grew taller, the walls built day by day, the new rice seeds brought by Siam began to be sown, the sweet potatoes were harvested again, the first sugarcane fields were planted, the first sugar mill was under construction, the first new ship The ship started construction in the dock in Wangbei City, the first judicial intervention on marriage, the first batch of selected military militiamen began to drill, and the first aboriginal priestess came here to thank.

All kinds of first times make them more and more convinced that life can actually be better, and also makes them convinced that what to do can really solve the problem of what to do.

In the evening, the seven go to a special school to learn something.Let's start with the simplest things and start from scratch.Organization techniques, propaganda techniques, why to rebel, why to rebel, the historical lessons of why rebels should postpone the title of king, what to do after rebellion, whether the existence of vassal kings is reasonable, the relativity of rights and obligations, the growth rate of population and the size of arable land Question blah blah blah.

According to Lin Zigui's understanding, this is the dragon slaying technique, and it is a dragon slaying technique that can be taught generally. Now he has only learned it for two months, and he already thinks that slaying a dragon is a righteous and reasonable thing, and he doesn't even have the slightest fear or self-consciousness. responsibility and moral conscience.
